Chapter 923: Preparing to Evacuate
The arrival of the monk of the main altar means that the battle on the frontal battlefield has also ended.
Seeing this, Lin Shixiong and the others couldn't help but change their faces slightly, and then gradually regained their calm.
After all, it wouldn't be good if the Deputy Sect Master knew that they were fighting here.
Lin Shixiong glanced at Ji Taihua and said, "Old Ji, you'd better get to know each other, don't say what you shouldn't say." ”
Ji Taihua said: "Each other." ”
What they were referring to was nothing more than what they had just argued about.
Lin Shixiong still believes in Lu Ping'an very much, and he doesn't worry about any problems with his identity, but he just thinks that there is no need to make trouble at the top of the general altar for such a trivial matter.
If you can't even solve the problem of a newcomer joining the church, it will naturally be a dereliction of duty on the part of the altar master.
And Ji Taihua's mistake is even more afraid to let the senior management of the general altar know.
At first, he really wanted to make a big deal about Lu Ping'an's suspicious identity.
First made the two altar masters suspicious, and then made the high-level of the general altar also suspicious, and finally the high-level of the general altar ordered Lu Ping'an to carry out a more severe interrogation and detailed and thorough investigation.
Even if nothing was found in the end, at least Lin Shixiong and Lu Ping'an would be uncomfortable, and Ji Taihua would be satisfied.
But Ji Taihua didn't expect that Lu Ping'an would tie his mistake to this incident.
As a result, Ji Taihua's idea could not be continued to be implemented.
He just wanted Lin Shixiong and Lu Ping'an to get into trouble, but he didn't want to "die together".
And if he wants to pursue it, Lu Ping'an may have nothing to do, but because of his mistakes, hundreds of monks have died, but he will definitely be punished.
The pros and cons of this, Ji Taihua can weigh it without thinking about it, so he can only choose to reach a "reconciliation" with Lin Shixiong, and no longer mention those things, especially in front of the high-level leaders of the general altar.
Before the monks of the main altar could completely get closer, Lin Shixiong and the others took the initiative to greet them.
"Meet the Deputy Sect Leader and the Elders!"
When the two sides approached a certain distance, Lin Shixiong and the others bowed to the group of people led by the main altar.
The deputy sect leader and those elders were either pale or had weak breaths, and they were obviously injured.
Behind them, there were about six hundred Demon Sect monks.
This time, the main altar probably sent more than 1,200 monks, that is to say, half of them died.
However, the brutality and intensity of the frontal battlefield are certainly incomparable to those of several other battlefields, so there is no comparison between the casualties between the main altar and several sub-altars.
The deputy sect leader nodded, looked at Lin Shixiong and the others with satisfaction, and said, "Well, you all did a good job!"
Lin Shixiong said: "We have just done our part. ”
The deputy sect leader said: "But this is not something that can be done casually, it is said that Miaole Palace has laid a lot of traps, and it is not easy for you to break through many difficulties and kill here." ”
Lin Shixiong said with a smile: "The deputy sect leader has won the award, and your victory on the frontal battlefield is the real key." ”
"Either way, it's the result of all of our efforts......"
As he spoke, the deputy sect leader turned his head to face the crowd and said loudly: "Now I officially announce that in the battle of Miaole Palace, our Demon Sect will win a big victory, from now on, Miaole Palace will cease to exist, and the people of the entire Eastern Continent will also tremble and fear because of this!"
"The Demon Cult has won a great victory! the Demon Cult has won a great victory......
More than 2,000 Demon Sect monks roared in unison, and the momentum shook the sky.
Immediately, the deputy sect leader said, "Everyone have a good rest for a while, and then we will start evacuating!"
"Yes!"
The crowd answered, and then they dispersed.
The deputy sect leader and several altar masters, as well as several elders and other high-level figures, stepped aside, set up a silent formation, and discussed things.
Lu Ping'an didn't follow, although he really wanted to hear it, but with his status in the Demon Sect, he was not qualified after all.
However, Lu Ping'an could more or less guess what they would talk about.
It is estimated that it is about the casualties of the major altars and how to retreat later.
Lu Ping'an was very curious about how they planned to retreat, although the outside world didn't seem to have discovered anything yet, but this kind of thing was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, once it was discovered, it would be a big trouble.
In terms of the remaining combat power of the major altars, if they encounter a strong pursuit, they will inevitably be more than lucky.
Of course, Lu Ping'an also thought so, he believed that the top management of the general altar had their own arrangements, and he didn't need to worry about it.
After a while, the deputy sect leader and Lin Shixiong and the others finished discussing, and then dispersed.
Lin Shixiong returned to the area where the monks of his branch altar were and said, "Prepare and retreat later." ”
The more than 700 monks in the room suddenly broke away from their resting state and cheered up.
Feng Jinghui asked: "Altar Master, there must be a lot of good things in this Miaole Palace, why don't we go and scavenge it?"
Miaole Palace has always been a major branch of the Phantom Sound Workshop, with a large number of cultivation resources, which are invaluable.
And so far, they have only been fighting, and they have not plundered anything at all.
Although the purpose of this battle is not to grab things, since they have already been defeated, it would be a pity not to take those resources for themselves.
Lin Shixiong said: "The deputy sect leader said that this matter will be handed over to the people of the main altar to deal with. ”
Feng Jinghui was stunned and said, "Then won't we be able to get anything?"
Lin Shixiong frowned and said, "What nonsense? When the time comes, the main altar will distribute rewards to us, and if the major altars take it themselves, it will definitely be chaotic." ”
Feng Jinghui thought for a while and said, "This is also true. ”
Lin Shixiong said: "Besides, we didn't come here for those things, even if we didn't get any cultivation resources, as long as we completed the task, the main altar would also give us a reward." ”
Feng Jinghui asked, "Then what is the purpose of our battle?"
Lin Shixiong shook his head and said, "The deputy sect leader didn't say it. ”
Feng Jinghui said, "Could it be related to some of the cultivation resources of Miaole Palace?"
Lin Shixiong said: "I don't know, we don't need to guess, just do what we are told." ”
Lu Ping'an felt that Feng Jinghui had probably guessed correctly, the Demon Sect should have come to attack Miaole Palace in order to obtain something of great significance, it could not be just to plunder resources, nor could it be to alarm the Eastern Continent, there must be more critical reasons.
But those high-level people don't say it, whether it is Lin Shixiong or Lu Ping'an, there is no way to know.
Then, Lu Ping'an asked, "In other words, the deputy sect leader has already arranged a retreat plan for us?"
Lin Shixiong said: "That's right, go to Linzhou City." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "It's that simple?"
Lin Shixiong said: "A large gathering is being held in Linzhou City tonight, and the chambers of commerce in several nearby cities have sent caravans there, as long as we can successfully blend in, we can retreat safely." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "I see, could it be that the assembly was secretly arranged by the general altar?"
Lin Shixiong said: "Maybe, but the deputy sect leader didn't say it explicitly. ”
In the eyes of the world, the Demon Sect has almost disappeared for so many years, hiding in some dark corner, isolated from the world.
But after Lu Ping'an entered the Demon Sect, he learned that this was not the case.
The Demon Cult still has a lot of dealings with the outside world, but they hide their identities, so that those who come into contact with them don't know who they really are.
In the past, Lin Shixiong and the others were able to get so many carriages, and now the Demon Sect General Altar can still hold a large-scale gathering through secret manipulation, which is enough to explain the facts.
Feng Jinghui said: "In short, it is a good thing to have an arrangement, with the state of our people, we can't afford too much tossing." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "But this retreat plan is still challenging for us, and it is not so easy. ”
Lin Shixiong nodded and said, "Well, on the road from Miaole Palace to Linzhou City, we may encounter danger. ”
Feng Jinghui frowned and said, "But this possibility shouldn't be very big, right?"
Lin Shixiong said: "According to the deputy sect leader, the matter of Miaole Palace has not been discovered for the time being, so the sooner we arrive in Linzhou City, the safer it will be." ”
Feng Jinghui said: "Then I understand, as long as the speed is fast enough, and at the same time maintain good concealment." ”
Lin Shixiong said: "That's right, that's pretty much what it means, if something happens on the way, we will adapt to the situation and do everything according to my orders." ”
Feng Jinghui said: "Obey!"
Lin Shixiong's eyes swept to everyone and said, "I hope all of us can go back safely, there are many of them!"
Feng Jinghui said in a deep voice: "It will definitely be!"
After the few of them finished chatting, Lu Ping'an walked to Lin Chulan's side.
"The altar master said that our several altars will retreat separately. ”
Lin Chulan asked puzzledly, "I heard it too, so what?"
Lu Ping'an said: "Then why don't you say goodbye to your brother Ji?"
Lin Chulan shook her head and said, "Forget it, it's embarrassing for me to meet him now, let's wait until I contact him later." ”
The previous events still caused an irreparable rift in the relationship between Lin Chulan and Ji Changge after all.
Lu Ping'an said: "You can think about it yourself, I'll just come over to remind you." ”
Lin Chulan said suspiciously: "Don't you care about these things about me?"
Lu Ping'an said: "I don't care, but it's not okay to remind me kindly?"
Lin Chulan said: "Then do I still want to thank you?"
Lu Ping'an said: "It's not necessary, I just think that the matter between the two of you has more or less something to do with me, if you don't make it clear this time and separate, then you complain about me in your heart, then I will be in trouble." ”
Lin Chulan smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, I won't blame you this time, besides, what can I do even if I complain about you? I treated you like that before, you still don't look indifferent?"
Lu Ping'an said: "Well, it makes sense, it seems that I'm still nosy." ”
Lin Chulan was silent for a while, and said seriously: "Okay, thank you for caring about me, but you really don't have to take those things to heart, we will solve the problem between me and Brother Ji." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "It's best to be like this, then I won't ask anymore in the future, I hope you can deal with those problems well." ”
