Chapter Forty-One There Was Still One Person

  Perhaps it was the pressure that caused Pan Yue's spirit to be more concentrated than ever before, and his speed in resolving the formation increased by several minutes in an impossible interval. In just a moment, he had already reached the edge of the formation, and only needed to take a few more steps to walk out of the formation, after which it would be a vast expanse of open water.

  The strange fluctuations in the rear began to intensify, Zhou Mo turned his head and took a look, where there was a hint of killing intent, without asking, it was clear that Li Mianying had found someone. Pan Yue also sensed something unusual, with more sweat on her forehead, but her eyes were exceptionally calm, various restrictive structures constantly reorganizing in her mind.

  "Found it! Let's go this way!"

  Pan Yue shouted loudly, and his mind felt a little relieved. Under this extreme pressure, Pan Yue's understanding of the formation had taken another step forward, but now was not the time to think about that, it was better to leave as soon as possible.

  "Found it? This friend is really formidable, making me admire him greatly." Zhou Mei, who had been walking behind, suddenly accelerated forward, and the other four also followed immediately.

  "Don't worry, we all have time." Pan Yue's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

  "Nature is not in a hurry, and this week I still want to thank you again for your contribution. If it weren't for you, we would probably be discovered." Zhou Mo suddenly blocked Shen Cong's path, with a smile on his face, while the fluctuations behind him became even more pronounced.

  "What's the meaning of this? Everyone come out first, and then we can talk about anything later." Shen stared at Zhou Mei, his eyes slightly narrowed.

  "Take off your hoods, I want to see what you two look like before I die. Hehe." Wu Yong suddenly laughed in a low voice, his tone sounding like a male duck, making people feel disgusted.

  "Before dying?" A common large knife appeared in Shen Cong's hand, the Long Que knife was not convenient to carry and could easily be recognized by people, had been placed in his residence by Shen Cong.

  "Being caught by the Jade Maiden Peak disciples for peeking, wanting to not die is extremely difficult." Zhou Mei smiled and said, "Third time thanking you for breaking the formation, now that I'm keeping you here, my heart also has no guilt."

  "Why must you be so stubborn!" Pan Yue's anger flared up, wanting to rush forward, but couldn't. The five people's cultivation was all above the third stage of Tongli, and each one had a precious artifact in hand. Even if he and Shen Cong had overwhelming strength, it would not be possible to break through in a short period of time, which was exactly what Zhou Mo was counting on.

  The ripples in the distance were getting closer and closer, Zhou Mo touched his cheek, "If possible, I would also like to let you two go. Unfortunately, the eavesdropping has been discovered, and you have seen our appearance, more importantly, since the eavesdropping has been exposed, someone must be found to take the blame. You two being caught doesn't count as unjust, just consider it a punishment for peeking at Li Mojing's figure."

  "Enjoy Li Muying's anger, haha!" Wu Yong burst out laughing loudly, his laughter was unscrupulous and the other three also laughed loudly, this kind of frame-up made them feel very pleased.

  Pan Yue was so angry that his whole body was shaking, while Shen Cong didn't say a word, just coldly staring at the few people, especially at Zhou Mo and Wu Yongshi, with eyes that seemed to be able to freeze water into ice.

  The rear wave has reached its peak, and in a few seconds, the people on Yu Nuofeng will definitely arrive. Zhou Mo is at the forefront, he wants to stare at Shen Cong and the two of them. Wu Yong is second, then it's about seeing the desperate faces of the two. The three people behind began to emerge one after another, Wu Yong and Zhou Mo slowly retreated, which can prevent the two from launching a surprise attack.

  Wu Yong and the other person touched the membrane wall, their bodies almost disappearing, and their minds suddenly relaxed by more than half, unlike the caution they had shown earlier.

  "Returning kindness with enmity, and yet you're so familiar with it. Since you don't want the two of us to leave, then why don't you two stay behind as well!" Shen Cong suddenly spoke up with a smile, having been silent until now.

  "Blood Wind Sword Technique, Defend!"

  A low shout, Zhou Mei's heart suddenly shocked as she was about to enter the membrane wall. She had no time to react before a massive suction force acted on her body. Normally, this amount of suction would not have been enough to affect her. But now that she was in the midst of an array, they didn't dare use too much force for fear of triggering the array. In this situation, how could she withstand this power?

  In an instant, Zhou Mu and Wu Yong were sucked out again and thrown to the rear of the formation. Shen Cong threw his large knife with great force at Zhou Mu, not intending to hurt him, but only to delay for a moment. At the same time, he grabbed Pan Yue's arm and rushed towards the membrane wall of the formation, but just as they took one step, a powerful force came straight at their backs, and without thinking, they knew it was Zhou Mu's doing.

  "I can't get out, are you still thinking of going out?" Zhou Mo's face was twisted in a scowl as he rapidly charged over.

  Facing the rear attack, various plans formed in his mind, but none could solve the current situation. Turning back to resist would inevitably delay his movement, and thinking of rushing out was no longer possible. If he didn't resist, he would have to endure Zhou Mu's full-strength blow, and considering the membrane wall, he couldn't use true energy to protect himself, so Shen Cong would definitely be seriously injured.

  Seriously injured, even if he escaped this formation, he didn't think he could escape Li Moken's pursuit and killing, it was simply a dead end, there was no way to start.

  "Little brother, you run, I'll stay and block for you..."

  "You go out first, I have a way." A flash of anger passed through Shen's eyes, and with one kick, he kicked Pan Yue out of the membrane wall. At the same time, he turned around and launched an attack, but he also missed the opportunity to leave the formation.

  "There's movement ahead, seal off the formation."

  A soft cry, a sudden change in the formation, made Zhou Mei, who was about to break out of the formation, bounce back. Shen's eyebrows furrowed, that voice belonged to a disciple of Yu Nuofeng, they had finally arrived. With a sweep of his eyes, he took in the surrounding formations, it was impossible to dispel the formation now, but brute force could still be used to break through.

  He didn't intend to cause trouble for Zhou Mo and the others, but Shen Cong found a weak point in the membrane wall and punched it with all his might. The membrane wall shook violently and was about to rebound when a corrosive force suddenly stuck to it, canceling out the rebound force, and at the same time, a bowl-sized hole opened up.

  Shen Cong grasped the gap with both hands, and the zombie's strength burst out, directly opening the gap. His body suddenly darted out. Shen Cong had thought of escaping through the membrane wall before, but the Yu Nuofeng disciples seemed to know everyone's goal, and it was surprisingly reinforced layer by layer. Although it could also be broken with brute force, Long Que's knife was not there, and it was absolutely not something that could be solved with just one or two punches at this time.

  Wu Yong was thrown out and had been dazed until Shen Cong escaped, then suddenly woke up. Feeling the killing intent behind him, Wu Yong's eyes suddenly showed fear, "Zhou Shixiong, what should we do now? Are we going to be caught?"

  "Rubbish!"

  Zhou Mo's palm slapped Wu Yong's cheek, and at this point, he only wanted to call for help, but didn't think of a way to escape. Zhou Mo really wanted to slap Wu Yong to death. But in the current situation, it was just a thought. Moreover, they couldn't abandon anyone, otherwise, if one person was caught, they would definitely take everyone else away.

  The rear was almost visible with blurry human figures, Zhou Mo didn't dare to linger, the road ahead was impassable, he took a glance at Shen Cong's escape direction and quickly grabbed Wu Yong who was stunned and ran past.

  "I don't believe you'll put yourself in a dead-end situation. As long as I follow you, I'm sure we can find a way to escape!" Zhou Mei thought to herself.

  As soon as the two of them escaped, people finally came out from behind, and the leader was naturally Li Muying. Looking at the gap being repaired beside him, Li Muying's eyes were filled with coldness.

  "Hurry up and catch up! We've finally found those scoundrels, let's see how they run now!" The other female disciples shouted loudly as they chased after them.

  Li Moying was not in a hurry at the moment, and outside the door there was a ring of fire surrounding him. If he forced his way out, it would be no problem, but he would inevitably carry a wisp of aura on his body, and with that aura, Li Moying did not believe anyone could escape his grasp.

  Zhou Mo led Wu Yong to escape, and immediately swept his eyes around. He thought he could see Shen Cong, but the surroundings were empty, with no one in sight. Zhou Mo was shocked in his heart, as this place was originally full of reeds, but now the reeds had been burned clean by the raging flames, and the surrounding ground was charred black.

  Even if there were a few lucky reeds that escaped, it would be impossible to hide people. If so, where did the person hide before? Looking at the distant fire circle, it's not possible that they rushed out without caring, but there was no gap in the fire circle, and even if they wanted to jump over, the surrounding formation would never allow it. If so, where did the person go?

  Zhou Mei's heart suddenly became panicked, everything was arranged clearly, but after meeting this person, it became like this. Now all around is empty and desolate, wanting to imitate Shen Cong's escape method, but now people are nowhere to be seen, where can I imitate? Can't bear to wait for death here?

  Thinking of death, Zhou Mo suddenly woke up and took Wu Yong to the fire circle. The stupidest method now is to rush into the fire circle, even if being chased to death, it's much better than staying here.

  "This brother, having come, why must you leave in such a hurry? Why not stay and let us treat you well?" The voice was soft, but it sent chills down one's spine. Zhou Mei didn't dare turn back, she could only run forward with even more force, but a huge fireball came crashing down from the sky, forcing Zhou Mei to retreat backwards.

  Just as he was about to turn around and continue running, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It wasn't Li Mochen, who else could it be? Ten minutes ago, Zhou Mo was still secretly watching Li Mochen change clothes, now Li Mochen was standing openly in front of him, but Zhou Mo didn't dare look up at him.

  "Junior brother, why the need for such urgency." Li Mianying's mouth corner hid a hint of smile, but this smile was so cold that it made one's whole body shiver.

  Zhou Mo's difficult swallowing, the worst situation still appeared, he was blocked here, and it was Li Muying who blocked him. With Li Muying's four-stage condensed yuan cultivation, Zhou Mo didn't even have many chances to resist.

  At this moment, Zhou Mei's heart couldn't help but feel a hint of regret. Previously, everything was fine and they could have all escaped together. But she had been bewitched by her own cleverness, thinking that she had planned everything perfectly, only to end up being caught red-handed now.

  "So it's the two of you, how dare you be so bold and do such a shameful thing in this pavilion, aren't you ashamed?" The disciples of Yúnǔ Peak surrounded Zhou Mei, sternly questioning her.

  The curves that had previously captivated Wu Yong were now right in front of him, and at the time he had hated to leave, but now he would have liked to find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never come out again.

  "Junior brother was momentarily foolish, and I hope that all the senior sisters can give me another chance to repent!" Zhou Mei's face was full of remorse, looking very pitiful.

  "For a moment of foolishness, I can do this. Then may I be momentarily foolish and directly behead the two of you here?" Li Mianying lightly snapped his fingers, and scorching flames burst forth from his hand.

  Wu Yong fell to the ground, "Don't kill me, I didn't see anything at that time, I didn't see anything!"

  Zhou Mei was also covered in cold sweat, and although he had a thousand excuses in his heart, he couldn't say any of them now. Looking at the icy faces of the people around him, Zhou Mei knew that this time he was doomed to escape, if Shen Cong hadn't intervened, he would have escaped long ago, how could it be like this?

  At this, a cold glint flashed in Zhou Mei's eyes. "If the sisters want to deal with me, I have nothing to say. But today's matter is not just about us two. There is still one person hiding nearby, please ask the sisters to find him out. Today's matter was his idea of telling us to come here, hoping that the sisters can also deal with him together!"

  "There is still one more person, and he's the mastermind!"

  Li Mò Yǐng's eyes emitted a bright light, and his scorching aura swept out in all directions.
