Chapter 291: Let’s Get Them!
Li Wanzhi and Fang He’an worked together, quickly teleporting the disciples within the Spirit Gathering Formation to the Golden City, and then crushing the Competition Jade Tokens in their hands.
Once the jade tokens were crushed, these people would immediately leave the battlefield.
Batch after batch.
Bai Jian and Li Yan were responsible for blocking the attacks of the black light filling the sky.
The four of them cooperated.
Continuously transferring people from the battlefield.
And on the number of people displayed on the water screen in mid-air, the total number of people on the battlefield also continued to decrease.
From the original five thousand, to—four thousand, then three thousand, and then two thousand.
And one thousand.
The speed of decrease was so fast that it was even more astonishing than when the three camps were fighting their most fiercely.
When the number of people on the Spatial Battlefield began to drop to one thousand.
The Formation Spirit issued a reminder.
“The number of participants has fallen to one thousand, meeting the conditions for the opening of the third stage. The battlefield enters the third stage, and the ranking battle begins.”
In just a moment, the number of people in the top 100 rolled.
Changing to a brand new one.
And this announcement also caused everyone to be extremely surprised.
Bai Yi and the others outside the Earth City: “…What does it mean?”
Bai Lin was so shocked that he blurted out, “Did they die that fast? Over three thousand people died in such a short time?” It wasn’t even a full day.
Bai Yi’s expression, however, became solemn.
“Something big has happened in the city.”
“Eldest Senior Brother Ge, do we still need to rescue them? I don’t see anyone left.”
Bai Yi frowned tightly. “We have to rescue them even if we don’t want to. This Devouring Spirit Great Formation will spread. If we can’t break the formation in time, when it comes out, all of us here will die too.”
At this, everyone was shocked.
“Could it really come out?”
Bai Yi pointed to the formation that had already spread to the battlefield in front of the city gate. “Isn’t it out now?”
“Then…”
Bai Yi did not hesitate. “Prepare to break the formation.”
Not to save people, but also for self-preservation.
The group immediately began to act.
But Ji Changhuai suddenly spoke. “Wait a moment, everyone. Let’s look at the rankings of the top ten first.”
Everyone looked. “What’s wrong?”
“Look at the first place,” Ji Changhuai reminded. “The first place has changed.”
Everyone looked upon hearing this, and indeed, it had.
Ye Wanwan had actually reached second place.
And the first place was— “Li Wanzhi.”
“Isn’t he from the Heavenly One Sect?”
“Over three thousand people were eliminated, and all the points they lost are now with this Junior Brother Li,” Ji Changhuai’s expression was solemn. “He is also in the city.”
Before Bai Yi and Bai Lin could speak.
Dou Ming, however, seized the opportunity and quickly clarified for Ye Qian. “See, I told you it wasn’t my junior sister, and you didn’t believe me. If the person who set up the Devouring Spirit Great Formation and killed people gets points, then it must have been this person who did it.”
“Li Wanzhi of the Heavenly One Sect.”
Everyone fell into contemplation, but a man who was setting up a roasted meat stall and serving food in the first row of the audience seats flashed through their minds. Everyone shook their heads in unison. “It wouldn’t be him.”
Dou Ming: “…”
Bai Yi said calmly, “He is not that kind of person.”
Dou Ming was furious. “Then is my junior sister?”
Everyone looked at him deeply, their gazes of “Aren’t you asking what you already know?” almost made Dou Ming explode with anger. But at this moment, Ji Changhuai also spoke. “It probably wasn’t him.”
“Eldest Senior Brother, you too!”
Not standing up for junior sister!
Ji Changhuai said calmly, “Something must have happened inside. People from the Heavenly One Sect are also inside. If we want to break the formation, perhaps we can communicate with them from the inside, and create a—united front from within and without.”
Bai Yi understood his meaning. “You want to contact Junior Brother Li inside? That’s a good idea, but who dares to risk going in? In the Devouring Spirit formation, once you go in, it’s a near-certain death.”
Ji Changhuai: “Signal.”
“Did you bring any?”
At these words, everyone took out their fireworks signals.
The colorful signals, all different.
However—
“Do people from the Heavenly One Sect recognize our signals?” Bai Lin asked.
Everyone looked at each other.
Silence.
Each sect had its own fireworks signal. For some friendly sects, they would also remember each other’s signals, so that if a disciple encountered danger outside, they could send a distress signal at any time.
It could be said that basically everyone who joined the Immortal Alliance followed this rule.
However, the Heavenly One Sect was not among them.
“They probably don’t remember, they’ve already been expelled from the Immortal Alliance,” Bai Yi said.
Everyone: “…”
Good heavens, the first time they’d heard of someone being expelled from the Immortal Alliance.
Bai Lin, however, suddenly looked at Ji Changhuai. “No, they might not recognize ours, but they will definitely recognize the Supreme Sect’s. After all, the junior sister of the Heavenly One Sect has been cultivating diligently in your sect for ten years.”
“Cultivating diligently, ‘ku’.”
Supreme Sect: “…”
Bai Lin patted his forehead. “Sorry, I misspoke again. If she sees your signal, she won’t even bother with us, will she? Forget it, it’s good enough if she doesn’t stab us in the back.”
Dou Ming’s eyes turned red with anger. “You…”
However, Ji Changhuai interrupted Dou Ming and said in a hoarse voice, “We can set them off together. Junior Sister…” Seeing everyone looking at him, Ji Changhuai corrected himself, “The junior sister of the Heavenly One Sect will guess.”
If it were Ye Wanwan, she would definitely guess.
Bai Lin was about to speak again, but Bai Yi made the decision. “Okay.”
In the end, Bai Yi chose seven sects. As night fell, everyone prepared to set off the signals. Bai Lin specifically reminded them, “The Supreme Sect goes first. They will definitely notice.”
Supreme Sect: “…”
Everyone gritted their teeth. “Fine.”
When the night completely descended, Ji Changhuai opened the signal first and set it off.
Bang.
The fireworks soared into the sky.
Golden light shone brilliantly in the darkness.
And in the city.
The people within the Spirit Gathering Formation had all been sent away. Li Wanzhi was almost collapsing by himself. He reached out towards Fang He’an’s direction. “Senior Brother, save me.”
Suddenly, vines wove into a lounge chair, catching Li Wanzhi.
Li Wanzhi lay down, clasped his hands on his stomach, and looked serene.
“Don’t call me, I’m going to sleep.”
Everyone: “…”
Caomu Hui couldn’t help but speak. “That doesn’t look like resting, it looks like eternal rest.”
Li Wanzhi jumped up. “Can you speak properly?”
Caomu Hui showed a stubborn and unyielding expression, as if saying, “If you make me unhappy, I’ll make you unhappy too.”
Li Wanzhi glanced at him, then sat down again, as if agreeing. “Don’t think about provoking me. Even if I get angry, I won’t let you go.”
Caomu Hui: “…”
“Why?” Caomu Hui asked indignantly.
Li Wanzhi pointed to the rankings. “Top 100, your points are quite high. Save them for my junior sister.”
Caomu Hui: “…”
So you had this in mind all along!!!
Bullying a demon!!
Li Wanzhi: I am bullying you.
The two stared at each other, but Wang Niu and Wang Ma looked around. As night approached, it was unclear if the black light had temporarily stopped because it couldn’t get past Li Yan and Bai Jian’s defenses.
The entire city seemed excessively quiet.
Ye Wanwan and Shen Nanzhou had not appeared. Li Wanzhi and the others didn’t mention it, and Wang Niu and Wang Ma didn’t ask. However, at this moment, a bright light streaked across the darkness high in the sky.
That was the golden orchid belonging to the Supreme Sect, blooming high in the sky.
Making everyone see it.
“That’s—a distress signal.”
Li Wanzhi and Fang He’an quickly looked over.
Li Yan and Bai Jian’s eyes also followed.
“Oh, dear.”
Target.
Let’s get them!
