Chapter 297: Behaving too shrewdly
Tuoba Xiong and the masked black-robed old man rushed back at lightning speed, and they quickly returned to the entrance gate of Five Style Sect, followed by a large group of elites.
The first thing they saw when they arrived there was a dozen or so corpses.
These skinny and withered corpses looked as if they were several hundred years old, but they were wearing the standard war robe of Black Cauldron Sect. In a single glance, they could discern that they were those disciples of Black Cauldron Sect left behind to guard the entrance gate.
“Who did this, come out!”
Tuoba Xiong suddenly stopped and shouted.
After getting closer, he keenly became aware of the danger of that red light screen. Outside the light screen, in the midst of dense grove, he could see the shadows of people moving about, but he couldn’t estimate the number of enemies hiding to ambush.
No one answered, only a cold wind was blowing in the vicinity of the entrance gate. This wind was not very cold, but numerous disciples of Black Cauldron Sect involuntarily shivered and goosebumps appeared in their arms.
“Guards, go, burn down that grove for me.” Tuoba Xiong ferociously commanded.
A group of his bodyguards quickly stood out, then burning the arrowheads of arrows, a dozen or so arrows whistled through the sky.
Everyone open their eyes wide, waiting to see what was hiding in the grove, but they were disappointed, moreover, they were shocked and also afraid.
The whistling burning arrows collided with the red light screen, then the light screen just rippled slightly and the burning arrows bounced back at higher speed, shooting down those about a dozen bodyguards who were caught unprepared.
This main gate restriction, how could it have the ability to counterattack the people inside?
The army of Black Cauldron Sect turned pale with fright. Even Tuoba Xiong and masked black-robed old man Dark Underworld Emissary had a change in countenance.
“Your Excellency Sect Master, someone used a great technique to reverse this main gate restriction. Expert, this is the work of a true expert.”
The eyes of Dark Underworld Emissary shone as he said, then he raised his head to signal his followers. All followers immediately retreated and clustered around him.
The complexion of Tuoba Xiong sunk and become green and black, making him look terrifying.
He had done all he could do to attack Five Style Sect and finally was about to completely control it with great difficulty and suffering heavy casualties, but, someone had seized the route of retreat, trapping him here, was there anything worse than this? In the exploration of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, the vitality of his sect had suffered a big damage, but now, being surrounded, if he couldn’t break out of this encirclement, then the entire army will be wiped out.
Who is it? Coming at such a perfect time and so ruthless.
Da Qin Dynasty or Heavenly Yao Sect which is known as the foremost sect under the heaven?
The heart of Tuoba Xiong become heavier and heavier. Right after he thought of Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect, he again rejected them. Although Da Qin Dynasty was powerful and prosperous, Cloud Mist Mountain Range was far away from the capital, moreover, there was no important town in the vicinity of 1000 li, so it was impossible to hide their movement if Da Qin Dynasty wanted to attack. As for Heavenly Yao Sect, it had a large number of experts, they had the ability to flatten Cloud Mist Mountain Range without anybody knowing, but, if Heavenly Yao Sect truly wanted to attack, then they basically didn’t need to do this, they could directly crush everything.
Not Da Qin Dynasty and also not Heavenly Yao Sect, then who could it be? Could it be that it is……
