Chapter 355: Raid on the Farmstead
A farm farm outside the town of Thundering.
This manor was originally the asset of a dilapidated aristocrat in the small town of Leiming. As early as ten years ago, he was forced to change hands because of his family's downfall. Because the man who took over rarely showed up, and his personality seemed to be very withdrawn, in the past few years, the people of Thundering Town have gradually excluded the farm from the circle.
But that's exactly what the people in the farm want to see.
In the past year, due to the wanton hunting by the Apocalypse Order, this farm has been temporarily sealed, leaving only a few ordinary servants to take care of it. Until the last few months, the Empire has been at war with the Fallen Spirits, threatened by the Bantu of the North, and the news of the reappearance of the Pretenders has spread. This series of events greatly diverted the attention of the Apocalypse Order. After confirming that it was safe, the owner of the farm moved the base back again.
The missing masters of the Earth Soul Sect, as well as the Wu master envoy who was in charge of contacting them, were all in this manor at the moment.
After being half-coerced and half-co-opted by Lord Wu, several high-ranking members of the Earth Soul Sect, including the original sect master, became their thugs. Although there must be some reluctance in my heart, it has been simple in the past few years. Do whatever you want to explain above, and don't worry about anything else, there are a lot of benefits. After a few years, the resistance of the Earth Soul Sect Sect Master has also faded.
Even this time, he needed to risk returning to Kaiyang, and he nodded and agreed after getting the promise of Lord Wu's envoy.
If it was usual, the former sect master of the Earth Soul Sect would definitely not talk much, do what he should do, and then wait for the reward above with peace of mind. But today, because he drank a little too much wine, and his mind was inexplicably a little uneasy, the sect master of the Earth Soul Sect burped, and intentionally or unintentionally asked what he had been curious about: "Master Wu, what is the purpose of the above that we are doing these things? Is it really just a sacrifice for a certain evil god as the brothers guessed?"
"You ask me, and who do I ask?"
Chief Envoy Wu's mood didn't seem to be very good, he drank the wine in the cup a little anxiously, got up from his original seat, walked around the room a few times, and then said: "That's what Sanfan Street ordered, let's just do it obediently." Asking so much won't do you any good. You are also an old man in Kaiyang, don't you know that the more you know, the faster you will die?"
Being reprimanded by him like this, a trace of disdain and anger flashed in the eyes of the sect master of the Earth Soul Sect. However, because of this, he woke up a lot, so he forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, bowed his head and said: "What Master Wu said is that I have overstepped a little. But this thing is not good brothers, but this time the work is too strange. The empire has suffered from this, and we can't get the slightest benefit. ”
The man in black named Chief Envoy Wu obviously had the same doubts. He snorted impatiently, but didn't accuse again.
At this time, Chief Envoy Wu vaguely heard something coming from outside the manor. At first, he thought that a villager from Thundering Town had strayed into this place, and was about to go out to inquire about the subordinates on guard. But then, hearing the exclamations and screams of the henchmen outside, Master Wu's heart jumped violently.
Worst!
Although he hadn't seen the situation outside clearly, the foreboding in Lord Wu's heart had risen to the maximum in an instant. He didn't even have time to think about the reason, he immediately turned and rushed out of the house. What appeared in front of him was a scene that made him feel inexplicably familiar, but unforgettable for a lifetime.
The two flying battleships stopped almost straight to a distance of more than 100 meters outside the manor. A large number of Apocalypse Order's clerics wearing plate armor jumped down from the flying ship and poured in, surrounding the small farm. The magic crystal cannon on the flying battleship also slowly adjusted the thick muzzle, aiming at the ground and constantly correcting the angle.
Seeing that the muzzles of the cannons were getting brighter and brighter, and the energy fluctuations were getting stronger and stronger, Lord Wu was horrified in his heart, and a monstrous wave was raised!
Last time, it was like this in the Elven Ruins. Unexpectedly, this time it was the same in a hidden manor. These masters of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect are actually staring at them as if they are still ghostly. Moreover, this time, so many people were dispatched overnight, which was obviously premeditated.
"Boom, boom!"
At the moment when Master Wu was stunned, the small-caliber Earth Demon Crystal Cannon had already begun to sweep across the ground like a plow. Every explosion represented a full blow that was no less than that of a sixth-order master. was blown up by a round of dozens of magic crystal cannons, and several houses in the center of the farm were blown up almost instantly, forcing the Earth Soul Sect Sect Master inside to rush out with a fighting spirit.
"Apocalypse Order!"
With the help of the lights shining on the flying ship, several masters of the Earth Soul Sect saw the identity of the person who came, and their faces couldn't help but change greatly.
"How did they know about our location? was someone informant or ...... I know, it must be the second child whose whereabouts have been exposed!
Some masters thought of the few people who had only been sent to Kaiyang City during the day, and they couldn't help but be angry and afraid. However, in the face of at least forty or fifty priests, these masters of the Earth Soul Sect really couldn't afford to resist. Bombarded by two magic crystal cannons, they scattered in a hurry, trying to break out separately. In front of the famous Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, these high-level leaders of the Earth Soul Sect didn't even have the idea of resisting head-on.
Seeing this scene, Lord Wu stomped his feet angrily.
Although there are many people from the Apocalypse Order, the farm is the place where they operate. Not only are there magic traps, but there is also an additional one-way magic array. If you take advantage of it, you can't take it by surprise and counterattack the clergy, and then choose a weak place to raid. As long as they rushed into the Endless Forest not far away, it would be difficult for the priests to hunt them down.
Can ...... now
After hesitating for a second, seeing that the group of killing gods of the Apocalypse Sect were surrounded on all sides, Master Wu decided to break the wrist of the strong man and leave behind these indecisive subordinates. Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to pull the sect master of the Earth Soul Sect, and the two rushed out side by side, trying to make a gap.
Their movements naturally attracted the attention of the priests in the corresponding direction.
However, just as they were intercepting head-on, Master Wu's envoy suddenly found a short-range teleportation scroll in his hand. The sect master of the Earth Soul Sect hesitated for a moment, glanced back at the henchmen who followed him, his face showed pain and reluctance, and finally stomped his feet, ruthlessly tearing open the scroll.
Under the dazzling brilliance of the magic crystal cannon and the dust from the collapse of the house, the two of them teleported a thousand meters with the help of scrolls. Without waiting for the clerics to follow, the two of them walked in a direction far away from Thundering Town, heading straight for the endless forest ahead. As long as they rushed through the outer areas of the forest and entered the real luxuriant area, it would be difficult for the priests to pursue them, even if they had great ability.
However, this idea is a bit naïve.
The forces that have been able to escape from the search of the Apocalypse Sect for so long must have a deep background and strength. Such an organization, distributing short-range moving scrolls to important subordinates, was expected by the Apocalypse Order. As early as when they took out the scroll, there were clergy eyeing them. The white-robed bishop who personally presided over the arrest did not sit on the flying ship, but blocked the escape route they had reserved in advance.
When Lord Wu and the Sect Master of the Earth Soul Sect ran out of four or five miles according to the predetermined route, leaving behind the manor, which was already half in ruins and emitting thick smoke, the two of them who were panting saw that behind a cluster of trees in front of them, a white-robed old man came out. He was followed by two people. One was an exorcist holding a scythe, and the other had a sign of an honorary member of the Apocalypse Sect pinned to his chest, which was Lu Chengfeng.
These three people strictly blocked their escape routes.
Feeling the sea-like momentum emanating from the white-robed bishop, Chief Envoy Wu's face immediately changed. Although his status in Sanban Street is not low, and he has fought with his boss at the beginning of the eighth order for a quarter of an hour, but compared to the master of the peak of the eighth order in front of him, he is much worse. To put it mildly, this old man only needs an eighth-order holy art, and he can beat him to pieces!
Even if there was an additional Sect Master of the Earth Soul Sect by his side, it would be impossible to win this battle.
"It looks like I can only run away again!"
Thinking like this, Lord Wu glanced at the pale Earth Soul Sect Master next to him, and the fingers of his right hand were slightly curved, and he flicked it lightly on the bracelet.
The next moment, another constant teleportation circle triggered.
This distance is even closer than the short-range teleportation scroll. The scroll could still move up to a thousand meters away, but the magic circle engraved on this bracelet could only move him out of two hundred meters at most, and it could only be used once a day.
However, the situation at hand is sufficient!
Seeing that this guy was about to escape, the white-robed bishop's face changed slightly, and he immediately tried to plot him. However, as soon as a holy light waved over, the figure of Chief Envoy Wu had already turned into countless points of light, and disappeared from the spot in an instant. Only the dazed Earth Soul Sect Master was still in place, and he stayed for a second before realizing that he had actually been abandoned.
"I actually let a mouse slip away!"
The white-robed bishop was obviously in a bad mood, and immediately wanted to order the exorcist to drag down the Earth Soul Sect Master, while he personally went to chase the Wu Master who had teleported away. However, before he could make a move, Lu Chengfeng gestured to him, and his figure shot up and left in the direction of the endless forest.
"Him?"
The white-robed bishop was stunned, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart. The honorary member of this order seems to be a seventh-order sword spirit. For ordinary people, he can be regarded as a master. But the envoy of Wu who slipped away was likely to come from some hidden force. That person's strength was even closer to the eighth order. If one is not good, it is possible to be injured or damaged!
If it was just an honorary member, the white-robed bishop would naturally not care. But Lu Chengfeng came with Yue Mingxuan, and the relationship between the two was obviously very good. When it comes to the contemporary core disciples of the ten powerful families of the Heavenly Apocalypse Order, the white-robed bishop can't help but be cautious. However, Lu Chengfeng left so fast that he didn't even have time to stop it. After sighing, the white-robed bishop could only hope that Lu Chengfeng could return safely.
