Hong Juan finally understood after hearing this.
Then, she said to Nangong Yun with some worry.
"If that's true, there's probably nothing we can do about it."
Nangong Yun knew the concerns of his senior sister, but he was a little unbelievable about this kind of thing!
For the current plan, he can only hope that Mr. Huo will recover soon. In that case, he can at least learn more about the situation from Mr. Huo, and at the same time, he will have an extra layer of protection.
Finally, after Nangong Yun waited for Liu Yulan and the third generation disciples of Ziyun Sect to pack up, he left the inn with them.
Hongjuan and the two elders took the rest of the people to the Donghuang Temple.
...
A few days later.
late at night.
Nangong Yun successfully sent Liu Yulan and the disciples she led out of Donghuang's sphere of influence. After they left, Nangong Yun deliberately slowed down his pace when returning along the road.
He wanted to determine whether the Presbyterian Council would let these disciples of the Ziyun Sect go. What finally pleased him was that Wei Yu really had no intention of taking care of them anymore.
Immediately, Nangong Yun prepared to go to the Donghuang Temple to join his senior sister and the others.
But when he was passing by a forest, he unexpectedly noticed something unusual in the forest.
Because this forest was the place where he and his senior sister had chased those who kidnapped Yu Ruoling, and it was exactly the same, so he was very familiar with it.
Nangong Yun knew that there were endless stretches of barren mountains to the north of the Eastern Wasteland, and they were also occupied by alien orcs. They usually had a strong sense of territory and generally would not allow outsiders to enter.
Therefore, people from the north who want to go to Donghuang must take a detour through this forest before entering Donghuang City.
But Nangong Yun was surprised to find that there were suddenly many "people" in the woods. Although they were all hiding in the dark, they were still noticed by Nangong Yun.
However, he was a little strange. These people did not exist when he escorted the disciples of Ziyun Sect. It had been more than ten days. Why did they ambush here, and who was their target?
Just when Nangong Yun was confused, he saw "them" suddenly pouring out from hidden bushes or trees in the forest.
Nangong Yun originally thought that these people were here to deal with him. However, when he found that these people ran directly behind him and ignored him at all, Nangong Yun realized that their target was someone else.
When this group of people passed by him, Nangong Yun clearly detected that they were all a group of practitioners with strong cultivation, and among them there was actually a master of the first level of the stars!
It's just that all of them are wearing masks, and Nangong Yun doesn't know who they are.
However, the practitioner who was in the first stage of the Star Realm was also a little surprised when he saw Nangong Yun. However, he was only stunned for a moment, and then ran towards the rear again.
Although Nangong Yun did not find out who the other people were, he quickly recalled the soul power aura of this first-level star powerhouse, because this person was Ren Tong, Wei Yu's direct disciple!
Nangong Yun was a little surprised when he first saw him. Ren Tong must have been ordered by Wei Yu to ambush here. However, they were indifferent to him. Why?
Nangong Yun turned around curiously and looked in the direction they were running.
I saw a group of people rushing towards this direction not far away. They were all strong and strong, with extraordinary momentum.
Although Nangong Yun is far away from them, it is not difficult to find that they are all cultivators with the sixth to seventh level soul cultivation.
Now Nangong Yun finally understood that Ren Tong's target should be them.
But, who are this team? Why did Ren Tong bring people to ambush them here? !
Nangong Yun thought for a moment and then followed them, because no matter who they were, he was now in a hostile relationship with Ren Tong and the Presbyterian Church.
Then, he would naturally go and take a look. If Ren Tong was really going to be detrimental to them, then he would definitely choose to help.
Sure enough, Ren Tong led this group of masked men in black and stopped that group of people.
I saw the leading man in well-dressed reining in his horse and shouting at Ren Tong with an angry look on his face.
"Who are you? How dare you block our way? Do you want to live?"
Seeing this, Ren Tong snorted and replied.
"It seems that the master has a clever plan. He had expected that you would not give up. Now it seems that his concerns are indeed correct. Fortunately, we have been ambushing here for a long time. I am afraid that you will not be able to go back alive today!"
Seeing that so many of them were wearing black clothes and their faces covered, the well-dressed man obviously wanted to do something against them.
So he turned his head slightly and signaled the brothers beside him to prepare for the fight.
Immediately, Ren Tong also nodded to the group of black-clothed masked men behind him, and they immediately dispersed, surrounding the people on horseback in the center.
The man who took the lead remained calm when he saw this and said sternly.
"You bunch of hidden rats don't dare to show your true colors to others. I think your master is also a sinister villain, so he can raise you incompetent things!"
Ren Tong was not angry when he heard this, he just said coldly.
"You're all going to die today anyway, so it's okay to show off your rhetoric now, but we won't let you bring things back to the Eastern Wasteland Temple under any circumstances."
When Ren Tong said this, he moved his eyes to a brocade box held in the man's arms, and then smiled.
"She is really whimsical. She actually thinks that there is a way to save her in this world. It is really ridiculous. She also doesn't think about it. If the seal can be lifted so easily, do we still need to go to such great lengths?!"
The well-dressed man on horseback said angrily when he heard this.
"Presumptuous! How can His Highness allow you to slander yourselves here!"
However, Nangong Yun, who was hiding not far away, saw all this. Through their conversation, Nangong Yun guessed that these men on horseback should be the guards of Donghuang Temple.
From what Ren Tong meant, it seemed that they were bringing something to save Duguxue, and that thing should be in the brocade box in the arms of the well-dressed man.
Nangong Yun thought, if this was really the pill that saved Duguxue or something else, then he would have to help them keep this thing.
Moreover, he had heard her mention this matter before when he met Her Highness the Queen.
However, if he takes action, Wei Yu will also know that the temple is trying every means to awaken Duguxue, and even Her Highness the Queen has found a way. Although he is confident that no one in the world can lift the seal, he may not be able to do so. There will be no preparation in advance.
In this way, it will become more difficult for His Highness to deal with the Presbyterian Council. Thinking of this, Nangong Yun quietly concealed his soul power aura.
He had to help these temple guards, but he didn't want to expose his whereabouts, let alone make Ren Tong suspicious.
It is indeed a bit difficult to do this, but what Nangong Yun is best at is to act according to circumstances and adapt to circumstances, so he is still waiting.
Because, he was sure that although those guards were no match for Ren Tong and these masked masters in black, they would naturally not sit still and wait to be killed.
As long as they can break through, it is not impossible to escape through the dim night, not to mention that Nangong Yun will help them secretly.
It's just that these temple guards don't know that there is a helper like Nangong Yun in the woods not far away. They have already made up their minds at this moment, even if they risk their lives, they will send the things in their arms back to the Donghuang Temple.
Therefore, at the same time that Ren Tong gave the order to take action, the man at the head also shouted loudly.
"rush!"
The two guards behind him were seen flying at the same time towards the masked master blocking the leader, while the handsomely dressed man hugged the brocade box in his arms and followed them forward to break through.
They knew that as long as they could pass through this forest and enter the sphere of influence of the Eastern Wasteland, everything would be successful!
However, among the people brought by Ren Tong, those with the lowest cultivation level have reached the seventh level of Yuanhun. Therefore, it will be very difficult for these temple guards to break out from their encirclement. What's more, there is Ren Tong, who is in the Star Realm, staring at the leading guard.
Seeing that they had already started to take action, Nangong Yun knew that the situation was urgent and could no longer hesitate. Then, he quickly approached the people fighting, waiting for an opportunity to take action.
However, at this moment, another group of people suddenly appeared in the forest. They came from the direction of Donghuang City, and the leader was Qingchen!
When Nangong Yun saw that it was Qingchen who led the people from the temple to meet him, he felt a little relieved and temporarily stopped outside the range of Ren Tong's soul power perception.
The reason why he did this was that he suddenly realized that there seemed to be a person in the forest, but this person had not shown up from beginning to end.
Nangong Yun is not sure who he is?
However, this person must not be simple, because he was able to lay out a maze within a radius of several hundred feet without Nangong Yun knowing it!
And Nangong Yun was very sure that when he first arrived here, this magic circle did not exist.
Obviously, it was precisely because of the appearance of those guards with brocade boxes that the formation was set up.
With the activation of this maze, a large amount of clouds and mist began to appear in the forest, and these clouds and mist seemed to be different from natural water mist. Not only could they block people's sight, they could even isolate the sound in front of them, and even It can interfere with the practitioner's soul power detection.
Nangong Yun could still clearly see the two sides fighting in front of him, but in an instant, his vision became blurry. Coupled with the fact that he was in the dark and dim woods, everything became abnormal. Weird.
He immediately released his soul power to explore the situation in front of him, but found that he could only sense a few feet of distance around him.
Nangong Yun was a little at a loss now, but he did see Qingchen leading a large group of guards from the temple to respond before the maze formation was launched.
However, they are probably trapped in the woods by this weird fog at the moment. The most important thing now is to quickly find the guard carrying the brocade box.
Because once he is caught by Ren Tong and the others, not only will his life be in danger, but he will also lose the treasure that can awaken Dugu Xue, which will ruin His Highness's important event.
At this critical moment, Nangong Yun suddenly recalled that he had encountered this kind of cloud and mist when he was playing in the back hill of Fengming Mountain, and he lost his way.
Later, he found the direction back to Qingfeng Pavilion through his own spiritual fire.
Immediately, Nangong Yun wrapped his soul power with spiritual fire and released it to the surroundings. Sure enough, he was able to detect a distance within a hundred feet in radius.
However, at this moment, he discovered that Ren Tong was flying directly to attack Qingchen, who was still unaware.
Nangong Yun didn't even have time to think about it. He broke the branch next to him and shot Ren Tong towards Qingchen in the air. At the same time, he also sent a warning to Qingchen.
Ren Tong was shocked by the inexplicable "hidden weapon" that suddenly came from the fog. He suddenly turned around in mid-air and slowly fell to the side.
After Qingchen discovered that the hidden weapon shot out of the clouds and mist turned out to be a branch, he looked towards Nangong Yun with a confused look, but he could see nothing there except the vast white mist.
Ren Tong saw that someone could actually launch a sneak attack on him in the fog formation, and he couldn't help being a little surprised and said to another man in black next to him.
"Is there a mole?!"
The man in black replied after hearing this.
"impossible!"
"Then who could it be just now?"
"I don't know about this, but the first priority is that we must destroy the brocade box first!"
"That's right!"
Immediately, Ren Tong and the man in black chased deep into the clouds and mist...
