Chapter 1590: A Glimmer of Life
"Oops, let's go to the bottom of the well in East Lake. As soon as Guiyun's complexion changed, he dragged Beiran and began to run wildly.
The two of them were speeding all the way, although apart from the initial violent shaking, the ground returned to calm, but the two did not dare to take it lightly.
East Lake, located in the northeast corner of the City Lord's Mansion in Anling City, seems to be just a very ordinary lake, with this very ordinary name, it does not attract attention at all on weekdays.
But only a very few people such as Bei Ran know that there is an ancient well hidden under the East Lake, which is the only teleportation array to the outside world, which is arranged by Xue Qingling himself, and can be teleported to the ancient star of Khalika hundreds of stars away, but the number of people is limited to less than three people, and the space spar consumed is extremely amazing.
This is a back door left by Yu Ling, if something emergency happens, they can send someone to leave from this teleportation array, and through the Western Union branch of the Chali Ancient Star, they can directly contact the headquarters of the Hundred Gu Star.
Of course, Yu Ling didn't want to use this back road one day, because it would mean that Dengyun Star was in danger of being exposed at any time, or even ...... It may have been surrounded by the two great spirit races.
But no matter what, the East Lake Teleportation Array is undoubtedly the most important thing in the entire Ascending Cloud Star, and there is no room for the slightest mistake.
When Angelica rushed to the sky above the East Lake, a figure was already standing on the shore of the lake.
"Sister Chenruo, what's the situation?"
Bei Ran fell from mid-air, looked around, and didn't find anything unusual, but when her gaze fell on Zi Chenruo's face, she found that her expression was unprecedentedly heavy.
Zichen didn't answer, just raised his sleeve robe, and gently parted his hands outward, and the water of the East Lake seemed to be split in half by an invisible qi, revealing a long and narrow gap.
"This ......"
Guiyun probe looked at it, and at a glance he noticed the two corpses at the bottom of the lake, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Zichen pursed his lips tightly, and his figure appeared at the bottom of the East Lake in a flash, his head was silent for a long time, and his voice gradually condensed into ice: "Two elders...... They were all killed. β
She turned around again and walked a few steps to the ancient well, where the surrounding lake water seemed to be spiritually avoiding her, and did not wet half of the corners of her clothes.
"The teleportation array has also been touched by someone just now. Zi Chenruo's fingers lightly swiped over the rough edge of the well, and it seemed that he could still sense the remaining spatial fluctuations.
Bei Ran and the two of them investigated the corpse without saying a word, and the chill in their hearts instantly filled the limbs.
Because they all know what the consequences will be.
"Aren't there four elders guarding this place, and what about the two elders of the Xuanling Clan?" Guiyun tugged at the corners of Beiran's clothes, his face a little pale.
Zi Chenruo kicked a few broken transparent crystals on the ground, and his voice was slightly deep: "The spatial fluctuations here are not only due to the activation of the teleportation array, this traitor is also good at the spatial Dao method, I don't know where he forcibly sent the two Xuan Ling elders, I'm afraid he also has the intention of sowing discord." β
Bei Ran said slightly: "Thank you Sister Chenruo for your trust, it's just that this traitor ......"
"There's no time left to find out who he is, and he might be hiding in the Ascending Stars, just teleporting away a random thing will serve his purpose. Zichenruo said calmly.
Guiyun said in disbelief: "But how can there be a mole? And we've all been here for a year, why did he suddenly do it now?"
"I can't explain it either, but you can see that the expressions of the two elders are more stunned than angry, and the strength of the other party is definitely not as good as the peak of the Hedao, so the method of sneak attack is used to kill with one blow. β
Zichenruo paused, and then said, "And this person must be an acquaintance we trust very much, otherwise the elder can't be defenseless at all." β
"So what now? Are we ......?"
Before Guiyun's words fell, an eager voice came from a distance: "Your Highness the Spirit Maiden, something has happenedβ"
If Zichen didn't dare to delay in the slightest, he flew directly into the air and said in a deep voice: "I'm here, what's wrong?"
The person who came was an elder of the Phantom Spirit Clan, and he didn't care too much about explaining, and as soon as he raised his hand, five or six strange-shaped small square boxes appeared in mid-air, reflecting illusory projections.
"Your Highness, I don't know for some reason, a large number of enemies suddenly appeared inside and outside the three stars of Dengyun Star, all of them were cultivators of the Yuan Spirit Clan, and the space probes we released were all destroyed by them, and only a few pictures remained. The Phantom Clan Elder said in a harsh voice.
In the picture, there is an endless dark universe and a lingering spatial turbulence, but several people can clearly see that a line of figures shuttles out of the turbulence, looking at its calm posture, at least it is also a master of the True Dao Realm.
The other picture was even more terrifying, I saw a dense crowd of cultivators appearing from all directions, forming a suffocating neat battle array, even through the projection, you could feel the fierce killing aura coming from your face.
Without a hint or preparation, the army of the Yuan Ling Clan suddenly appeared a stone's throw away, blocking the starry sky in all directions with great efficiency, turning Dengyun Star into an isolated Jedi.
Sanxingli was originally a long distance, but for these people, it would take a few hours to cross the galaxy and come to the node where the star is located.
They have no way out, nowhere to run.
Suddenly facing the catastrophe of annihilation, even Zi Chenruo, who had always been calm, felt that his thoughts were blank, as if he had suddenly lost the ability to think.
What to do, what to do...... Thousands of Yuan Ling armies, more than a dozen True Dao Realm masters, how to fight against them?
Can't escape, Dengyun Star is surrounded by Yuanling people, even if you use the short-distance teleportation array from King Li Hai, you can't run a few stars away at all, and most of them will be left here, their fate can be imagined......
It is impossible to fight to the death, the difference in strength is too great, and once the stalemate continues, it is not known how many follow-up reinforcements the Yuanling clan will send......
Then send someone to leave the ancient well teleportation array alone to seek foreign help...... But who is Zhao Lan looking for? Is he really willing to take the risk to save him and expose the Heavenly Cave Sect to the Yuan Ling Clan?
That...... But what could he do with one person? It would only force him to completely tear his face with the Yuan Ling Clan, and fall into the same dangerous situation.
It seems like...... There is no way to ......
No, you can't give up, think quickly, while there is still a little time left, there must be a way, you must be able to think of ......
"Your Highness, Your Highness......" Elder Phantom's anxious voice recalled Zi Chenruo's thoughts.
Zichen woke up suddenly, looked up at Beiran, and said faster: "There are priorities, the most dangerous thing now is you, once the Dengyun Star falls, the Yuanling Clan will definitely not let go of any Xuanling Clan." So if the situation gets to the worst, I'll do my best to cover your escape. β
"But where to escape? There is no way to escape, and the Phantom Clan may not be able to survive......" Bei Ran looked at the projection in front of him that was playing over and over again, clenching his fists tightly.
Zichen Ruo directly interrupted her: "There is no time, you and Guiyun leave from this teleportation array, after arriving at the Khali Ancient Star, your troops will be divided into two ways, Xiao Ran, you go to Benli Star to find Sect Master Zhao, as long as he is willing to help, even if we pay some more price, it doesn't hurt." β
"Guiyun, you contact Bai Gu Xing as soon as possible and tell Yuling about the matter here. I thought about it, no matter what the result is, I can't hide it from him, after all, everything here is his hard work. You tell him that you don't have to worry about me, the Yuanling Clan still has a place to use us, just find a way to deal with the Xuanling Clan, otherwise Elder Luan and their stay here will be a dead end. β
"Sister Chenruo, then you ......" Bei Ran was anxious.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" Zichen Ruo directly poured all the spatial crystals at hand into the wellhead, and in an instant, silver light rose up, directly enveloping Guiyun and the two.
"I'll take care of it here, and I'll leave the rest to you. Zichen said solemnly.
"Sister Zi, you must not have anything to do......" Guiyun opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but the space had already begun to superimpose confusion, and she only had time to say half a sentence, and her figure disappeared in the silver light.
"I hope you're safe......" Zichenruo murmured.
In this way, even if the two Beiran can't move in for reinforcements, at least they themselves are safe.
Because the teleportation array was one-way, she didn't tell them.
"Her Highness the Spirit Maiden, whether it is the Heavenly Cave Sect or the Hundred Gu Stars, they are too far away from us, I am afraid that they will already be ...... when they arrive" The Elder of the Phantom Spirit Clan stopped talking again.
"So in the end, it's up to us. Zichenruo rubbed her eyebrows, and when she raised her head again, she had regained her usual composure and calmness.
"Tell me to go down, open the Star Array, and pour all the spiritual materials into it, how long can it last. Then take advantage of this time to urgently recall everyone to Anling City. β
"Let Patriarch Zifeng contact King Li Hai, if he is not willing to fight with us, there is no need to force him, let him be ready to be a mount for the Yuan Ling Clan. β
"In the same way, Elder Zixi went to the Corpse Clan and asked them if their ally had made a decision, and it was time for them to make a choice. β
"Finally, invite Elder Luan Wei to the forbidden land of the City Lord's Mansion, I have important matters to discuss with him. β
Zichen gave one instruction after another in an orderly manner, and finally said, "Time is tight, let's go." β
"Yes!" the Phantom Clan elder didn't care about saluting, and directly retreated.
There was no one around for a while, Zichen exhaled a little tiredly, turned around and slowly walked towards the forbidden place in the mansion.
She didn't know how long she could lead everyone to persevere, and she didn't know if her persistence was meaningful, but at this moment, she had no choice.
In this desperate situation, grasp the last ray of life.
