149 It Couldn’t Get Worse (1/2)

Not far away from them, hidden by another array, a group of disciples in dark robes was waiting. One of the younger ones turned to the man in front of them, his expression anxious. ”Senior martial brother Mu, can we attack yet?”

Mu Qing glanced at him but then just turned back to the front, not saying anything.

”Senior martial brother Mu! Why aren't we attacking?” The disciple even reached out and tugged at his sleeve, trying to get his attention back.

Mu Qing sighed and then motioned over to Yang Wu Huang and the other two. ”We will attack when the three start doing whatever they are planning to do. Give it a moment after that. I'll give the signal.” Seeing that now was as good a time as ever to instruct them, he turned around to the disciples behind them after all.

”When we do attack, let these three leave. I don't mind if you injure them a bit but they must be able to escape. We still need them later on for Master's plan. As for the others …” He motioned over to where Kui Min was kneeling on the ground, supposedly investigating one of the lines on the ground while she was actually keeping an eye on Yang Wu Huang and the other two. ”Capture her alive and bring her back. There's no need to harm her but she can't be allowed to return to the town. As for the others … They are unimportant. If they don't make trouble, you don't have to bother about them. If they resist, you kill them though.”

The disciples nodded, turning back toward the Teng Yong Sect's disciples, eager to finally go and attack. Obviously, they hoped that these people would try to fight them. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time after all.

Meanwhile, Yang Wu Huang and the other two spread out and then crouched down, using their spiritual energy to change the lines in front of them. They also didn't know what exactly this thing was for but it definitely had some kind of use for the demonic practitioners or they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of making them. Thus, if something was changed about it, you should have a way of finding out. Then, soon enough, a group of them would definitely be here and they would have an excuse to split from the others and follow Mei Chao Bing's group.

The disciples behind Mu Qing became agitated when they saw this, clutching their weapons tighter. As for Mu Qing himself, he just continued to watch for a moment before he finally raised his hand and waved. ”Let's go.” He deactivated the array around them and the group rushed forward, appearing in front of the righteous cultivators in a single moment.

The Teng Yong Sect disciple that had been scouring the location from the air was hit by an attack, falling from his sword and crashing into the ground with a thud. He didn't get up, making one of the younger disciples close by scream in fear.

Yang Wu Huang's eyes widened in shock. While it had been his idea to lure these demonic practitioners over, he hadn't expected that it would happen so soon. He had wanted to prepare for a moment longer. Who could have known they would actually be here after not even a quarter of an hour had passed? It seemed they had been incredibly close by.

He hurriedly retreated and then glanced at Di Huan Bo and Ao Jing, before waving at everyone. ”Retreat!”

Mu Qing waved at the disciples following him and the group split up, making sure to do as their senior martial brother had told them.
