Chapter 734: Escape?
After a short period of adjustment, Ling Xuan'er led the team to set off again, heading towards the location of the next detachment in the Netherworld.
Although the time to leave the Immortal Cloud Sect is short, the temperament of this team has changed drastically compared to before, less scattered, more calm and solemn, every face is fierce, just looking at it with their eyes, it is already chilling.
Three battles are not much, but they have made these people's hands stained with blood, and the strong smell of blood is like an invisible big hand, pushing them to grow.
After a long day's journey, they stopped at the foot of a hill that was only a quarter of an hour away from the detachment of the Underworld, and was the best hiding place in the vicinity.
Yuan Hao came to Ling Xuan'er's side and said, "Captain, the strength of this Netherworld detachment is slightly weaker than the first one, but there are also eight Spirit Venerable level powerhouses, and they should have our information, so I think this battle will be more difficult than the previous battles." ”
Ling Xuan'er nodded and said, "No matter how difficult it is, if you want to wipe them out, I don't believe that the four detachments will be wiped out, and they can still be indifferent." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Look, I think after tonight, there should be some changes. ”
Yuan Hao's personality is relatively calm, but his head is really not too bright, and he can't keep up with Ling Xuan'er's rhythm many times, he knows this, so he won't ask more, anyway, just follow the captain.
The snowflakes falling in the sky were much smaller than the previous days, but they still showed no signs of stopping, and the sky gradually darkened, and the moon peeked out of the clouds, casting a silver cloak over the land of the Middle Realm.
Dozens of figures streaked silently across the night sky, no light, no breath, but with a chilling aura of slaughter.
A quarter of an hour later, ice crystals fell over the camp of the Underworld detachment, a bitterly cold wind blowing, and as for the previous three nights, a bloody feast began.
Yuan Hao didn't guess wrong, in the case of some preparation, this detachment of the Underworld Heaven showed extremely amazing combat power, under the leadership of the eight Spirit Venerable powerhouses, it caused extremely heavy trauma to the Xianyun Sect team, the seven Spirit Venerable powerhouses of the Xianyun Sect fell, and the rest, including Ling Xuan'er, were all seriously or lightly injured.
After paying such a terrible price, Ling Xuan'er was furious and once again used the Ice Spirit Blood Array, finally completely defeating this detachment, becoming the fourth team in the Netherworld to be completely annihilated.
The blood gradually solidified, and the entire battlefield looked extremely messy, Yuan Hao lined up the remains of the seven fallen members, and Ling Xuan'er held a torch and lit the firewood branches under them
Flames rose and shook gently in the wind, lighting up the night sky and obliterating seven corpses.
Originally, their bodies should have been returned to Xianyun, but the current situation did not allow this, and this was the helplessness of war.
The remaining thirty people of the Immortal Cloud Sect stood quietly, looking at the burning flames, with a faint light in the corners of their eyes, with Ling Xuan'er's cold temperament, they couldn't watch their comrades die in front of them and remain indifferent.
Time passed quietly in silence, the sky was bright, the flames were extinguished, Yuan Hao raised his head to look at the bright light in the sky, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I don't know when the dawn will come to the Middle Realm, I really don't want to see more people die." ”
"It's because we don't want more people to die, that's why we're here. Ling Xuan'er said: "They will not sacrifice in vain." ”
Yuan Hao noticed that although Ling Xuan'er's expression was as cold as ever, her fists were clenched tightly, and her slender body trembled a little imperceptibly.
Yuan Hao was a little stunned, and then suddenly thought secretly: "Senior Sister Xuan'er is just a little girl in her early twenties, but she has to bear such a big responsibility, and the sect master's decision is too unfair to her. ”
Ling Xuan'er naturally didn't know what Yuan Hao was thinking, she exhaled deeply, suppressed the waves in her heart, and immediately turned back to everyone: "We won't fight, from now on, we will do our best to avoid the Netherworld." ”
The people who were immersed in grief immediately came to their senses, glanced at each other, and saw the incomprehension and inexplicable anger in the eyes of the others.
After a moment of silence, someone objected: "Captain, did this battle stunned you, if you don't avenge your dead brother, you still want us to escape?"
The fall of the seven people has dealt a great blow to everyone, and at the same time, they have really formed a hatred with the underworld, at this time, it is okay for them to fight with the underworld, but to be a deserter, they can't accept it anyway.
In the midst of the opposition, Ling Xuan'er still maintained that faint expression, and Yuan Hao on the side saw it and hurriedly said aloud: "Don't get excited, everyone, the captain must have her reasons for making such a decision, listen to what she has to say first." ”
Through this period of getting along, Yuan Hao has a certain understanding of Ling Xuan'er's temperament, and knows that she is by no means the kind of cowardly person, so although he is also full of questions, he still chooses to stand by Ling Xuan'er's side.
Ling Xuan'er glanced at Yuan Hao, then her gaze slowly swept over everyone, and said lightly: "This is the captain's order." ”
The flat voice made the anger in everyone's eyes rise again, and Yuan Hao hurriedly said: "Captain, seven of our comrades-in-arms died here, I believe you must have your own reasons, but please tell us, otherwise I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!"
"I won't give you a reason, you can question it, but you must obey my orders, because I am the captain, and from the moment I left the Immortal Cloud Sect, you have put your life in my hands, and I am responsible for you. Ling Xuan'er said: "Of course, if you think that I am incompetent as the captain, you can remove me, but if I return to the sect, how the situation develops at that time has nothing to do with me Ling Xuan'er!"
After a pause, the corners of Ling Xuan'er's mouth drew a sneer, and she said quite provocatively: "How about it? Think about it, do you want to give me the captain?"
The beautiful face was extremely dazzling in the light of dawn, obviously there was no breath coming out, but everyone still felt a chill from the heart, perhaps as early as unconsciously, Ling Xuan'er's image had been deeply rooted in everyone's hearts, that was a kind of awe.
The cold gaze swept over everyone again, and all the people who met it lowered their heads, they dared to question, but they didn't dare to resist, because Ling Xuan'er was the captain, because they had witnessed the leadership of this captain in the past few days.
"Since you still recognize me as the captain, then set off and remind you that the situation has changed, and each of us is likely to die here, so go back if you are afraid. ”
After speaking, Ling Xuan'er took the lead in taking off into the air, her black hair and white clothes fluttering gently, making everyone slightly stunned, and after a while, a look of determination flashed on their faces, and they all rose into the air, and Ling Xuan'er broke through the air
