Chapter 700: Caught in the Net
Zheng Chi fell to the ground, his body trembling violently from fear, his legs too weak to stand.
The other three Grand Elders were the same, but it was unclear how many of them were genuine and how many were acting.
Zheng Chi gritted his teeth, then nimbly attached a Flying Talisman to himself and turned to flee. He knew he had to escape the range of the killing intent first, release his Spirit Soul, and then he could recover his strength.
Seeing Zheng Chi flee, the other three Grand Elders lost all will to fight. They followed suit, attaching Flying Talismans and ran.
As for the other Immortal Alliance disciples, their Spiritual Sense instantly dissipated under the influence of the powerful killing intent. Moreover, due to fear, they were completely paralyzed and could only let the rain mixed with the Xieqisan drench them. Only a few dozen cultivators who had released their Spirit Souls were desperately resisting.
At this moment, the general surnamed Jiang finally descended from the sky, his thick legs stomping heavily on the ground.
“Boom…”
The earth instantly seemed to be struck by a meteorite, and countless mud and stones shot up into the sky. The surrounding cultivators were directly blown away by the terrifying shockwave. Even several carriages loaded with bait were affected and were about to overturn precariously.
Cheng Hong Ling frowned slightly, and with a movement of her Spiritual Sense, she restrained the carriage she was on.
And in the sky a thousand feet high, the Grand Preceptor of Yang Nation was also quick-witted, using several threads of Spiritual Sense to stabilize the other carriages.
“This ruffian injured my daughter, I will make him pay!”
Tang Yuning’s father could not help but scold angrily.
“Let’s go down. The Immortal Alliance group has already been defeated.”
Grand Preceptor Yang put away the empty large water缸, then, accompanied by several emperors, descended near the Immortal Alliance camp. With a movement of his thought, hundreds of figures flew out from several Storage Rings in his hands.
“Kill them for me!”
Grand Preceptor Yang called out, then led the way towards the Immortal Alliance camp.
“Charge!”
The hundreds of figures also let out roars, charging towards the Immortal Alliance camp with great momentum.
And the disciples of the Immortal Alliance? Because of the Xieqisan and the killing intent, they had lost most of their fighting power. Coupled with the escape of several elders, their morale collapsed. How could they form effective resistance? Therefore, the outcome was already decided before the battle even began.
Indeed, the family members charged into the Immortal Alliance camp like tigers entering a flock of sheep, effortlessly dealing with the disciples who tried to resist. They did not kill those who had not lost their fighting power.
“Good heavens, are they really going to rebel?”
Qi Huang stared dumbfounded, but then smiled with relief. Wasn’t this a good thing? Those girls who were kidnapped were already pitiful enough. It was good for them to go home. As for herself, at most she would just put in more effort. In any case, it was just that there was less bait.
It was normal for Qi Huang to think this way. She was not a person without principles like Zheng Chi.
At this moment, Zheng Chi and the several Grand Elders had escaped the range of the killing intent. He let out a long sigh, then released his Spirit Soul clone and impatiently cursed, “Scram as far away as you can.”
The Spirit Soul clone was startled and quickly fled into the distance.
The other two elders followed suit, which also indirectly showed that they were not faking it earlier.
However, the last short elder remained motionless, intending to muddle through.
“Elder Kang, why aren’t you releasing your Spirit Soul clone?”
Zheng Chi asked with doubt.
“My Spirit Soul clone is not in my Sea of Consciousness!”
Elder Kang stammered.
“What? Then why did you fall from the sky stumbling earlier?”
Zheng Chi’s face turned unpleasant.
“Because I’m afraid of heights.”
Elder Kang said as if it were true.
“Afraid of heights? Then how were you running faster than me when you used the Flying Talisman earlier?”
Zheng Chi’s jaw twitched, and his features began to contort.
“No choice, intermittent fear of heights, sometimes afraid, sometimes not, like epilepsy.”
Elder Kang explained as if it were true.
“Heh heh…”
Zheng Chi laughed in anger, thinking to himself, “Do you take me for a three-year-old child?” However, he knew that it was not the time to pursue accountability, so he suppressed his anger and said, “Let’s go back now!”
“But our True Qi has been affected by the Xieqisan and is constantly decreasing. Once we cannot finish quickly, we will soon be at a disadvantage.”
A thin elder worriedly said.
“Elder Gao, don’t worry, you’ll know when we get back.”
Zheng Chi casually perfunctorily replied, then led the three elders back.
Qi Huang couldn’t help but chuckle when she saw this. This Zheng clearly had more trump cards. It was unknown who would have the last laugh.
Meanwhile, in the camp, the family side had eliminated all resistance from the Immortal Alliance and found their daughters as desired.
The abducted girls, having narrowly escaped death, cried like tears.
Tang Yuning’s face revealed a smug look, then she walked up to Cheng Hong Ling and taunted, “How about it, do you still plan to go to the Tencel Valley Treasure Land?”
“Of course.”
Cheng Hong Ling replied concisely.
“Sorry, I won the bet with your clone, so I’m afraid I can’t go to Tencel Valley with you, unless she has the guts to force me like the Immortal Alliance. But I believe she neither has the guts nor the strength.”
Cheng Hong Ling remained silent. She was never one to enjoy arguing.
Qi Huang was a bit speechless. She had the guts and the strength, but she was not so nefarious.
“What are you so proud of? Not going to the Tencel Valley Treasure Land is your loss. How many people in this world want to go there to search for treasure?”
Ruan Ling Yu stepped forward to retort.
“Yes, when we come out, we will definitely bring back large bags of heavenly treasures to show off in front of you.”
Shen Yuan also chimed in.
“A joke! I am a princess of a country, what heavenly treasures could I possibly lack?”
Tang Yuning said haughtily.
“Even if we ignore heavenly treasures, just being able to go in for a trip is an excellent thing. Such an opportunity is not something everyone can have. You can show off for a lifetime after coming out. Are you really not going to consider it?”
Yun Fei tried to persuade.
“You are most welcome, but this princess has no habit of traveling to the gates of hell.”
Tang Yuning refused without thinking, then said again, “How about this, before you go, why don’t you give all your heavenly treasures to this princess? You won’t need them anymore anyway.”
“Why?”
Shen Yuan asked doubtfully.
“I think most of you will never return, wouldn’t that be a waste?”
Tang Yuning said acidly.
Hearing this, the few martial sisters were instantly enraged. Su Qing Ying retorted with venom: “It’s okay, if we don’t come back, we’ll find a way to burn them for you.”
“How dare you curse this princess to death?”
Tang Yuning exploded.
“Got upset? Didn’t you curse first?”
Su Qing Ying taunted.
Tang Yuning was speechless, then pretended to be magnanimous and turned to leave: “Forget it, this princess is generous and will not bicker with you. This princess still has to go back and enjoy a comfortable life.”
Qi Huang watched and laughed, thinking to herself, “You are celebrating too early. Elder Zheng is still forcing his moves. We don’t know who will laugh to the end.”
At this moment, Cheng Hong Ling also appropriately asked Qi Huang via Mind Transmission: “What are you planning to do now? Let them all leave?”
“Naturally! We are not as unscrupulous as the Immortal Alliance.”
Qi Huang replied without hesitation, but then immediately added: “However, it will not be that easy for them to leave. Elder Zheng and the others are coming back again, preparing for the second round.”
Cheng Hong Ling shook her head speechlessly, thinking to herself, “When will this tossing and turning end?”
“Everyone, let’s leave quickly. Once those Immortal Alliance elders return, it will be another big trouble.”
At this moment, Jin Xue’s father loudly reminded.
“It’s nothing. Those clowns are poisoned by Xieqisan, and their Spiritual Sense is restrained by the clothes made from Nine Nether Demonic Cat fur. I can kill them with a single finger.”
The powerful warrior surnamed Jiang said confidently.
“Oh really?”
Zheng Chi’s voice sounded at the right time.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the Grand Elders of the Immortal Alliance had returned, so their nerves tensed up again.
“You actually dare to come back to die?”
The warrior surnamed Jiang said, rubbing his fists enthusiastically.
“Die? Yes, it is indeed to send you to your death.”
Zheng Chi smiled indifferently, and quickly crushed a strange Talisman in his hand.
After the Talisman exploded, a huge Spiritual Sense Shield instantly enveloped the camp. Because the power was too great, it caused spatial distortion, so it was clearly visible to the naked eye.
Qi Huang slightly raised the corner of her mouth. Her insightful eyes could tell at a glance that the shield had at least the strength of the early Heavenly Punishment Realm, and the mob inside absolutely could not break through it.
“Now we have finally caught you all in the net.”
Zheng Chi laughed triumphantly.
“Just a mere Spiritual Sense Shield, not as thick-skinned as this grandpa. How dare you show it off? I can break it with a single finger.”
The warrior surnamed Jiang stomped on the ground. As the dirt exploded with a roar, he shot towards the inner wall of the Spiritual Sense Shield like a cannonball. His fist, as large as a sand pot, stirred up a layer of visible sonic boom, and he charged forward with all his might, blasting towards it.
