Chapter 254: The Heavenly Derivation Sect Does Not Have a Tradition of Selling Out Their Own!
At the foot of the Mystic Mist Sect mountain.
A group of people stood silently at the base of the mountain, waiting for the opportune moment.
Chen Mousguang led his own small team in silent waiting, but his gaze couldn't help but drift toward Chu Xingchen, who stood nearby with a leisurely expression.
Although he had been full of confidence when agreeing earlier, he had never actually seen Chu Xingchen take action.
Now that they were truly about to make a move, his heart began to feel increasingly uncertain.
What if this big shot rushed up and got instantly defeated by Daoist Jade Sun in a single move...
If he ran away then, would that be considered immoral?
Unable to hold back, Chen Mousguang asked:
"They aren't here. Big Shot, tell me honestly, do you really have the confidence to hold on for an hour or two?"
Chu Xingchen glanced sideways. "If I couldn't win, would I be here accompanying you all to die?"
Chen Mousguang pursed his lips and asked cautiously:
"Then if you can't hold on, give us a signal in advance. Putting everything else aside, we should at least be able to run faster than the people from other immortal sects, right?"
"Fine. If I win, I'll find a moment to beat you up too." Chu Xingchen looked toward the mountain gate of the Mystic Mist Sect.
It had to be said that once in Central Province, the character of the place felt elevated.
The architectural style of the Mystic Mist Sect lacked the lavish and stylish feel of the Heavenly Derivation Sect.
It went for a style biased toward artistic conception. The buildings looked somewhat plain, but one glance felt comfortable, without the oppressive feeling of ordinary immortal sects.
The color tones were predominantly blue, and high-rise buildings were rarely seen, with only a single high tower being the most conspicuous.
Due to the recent state of nervous tension at the Mystic Mist Sect, the protective mountain formation had been activated.
Pale blue spirit power circulated, shielding the entire Mystic Mist Sect, as if applying a filter over the sect at this moment.
Chen Mousguang also felt that asking such questions before a battle somewhat ruined the atmosphere, so he spoke up again with a smile:
"Then when you make your move, Senior, please go easy. Definitely don't kill Daoist Jade Sun..."
Before Chen Mousguang's words to enliven the atmosphere could finish, a frightening fluctuation of spirit power suddenly came from within the Mystic Mist Sect.
At the same time, a shocking pillar of spirit power rose from within the sect, rushing straight toward the protective mountain formation.
After receiving that surge of spirit power, the formation began to operate at full capacity. Azure light emerged, and a massive aura surged in all directions.
Simultaneously, the sound of a bell oscillated out from within the Mystic Mist Sect.
The sound waves were so powerful they directly swept away the surrounding trees.
This was the emergency bell of the Mystic Mist Sect. Apart from being loud, it could also notify other disciples and elders of the sect who were outside.
Chu Xingchen looked over with a calm gaze. At this moment, within his perception, a mass of extremely high-quality spirit power began to climb madly.
"Did they have a Plan B they didn't tell you about?" Chu Xingchen asked, glancing at Chen Mousguang by his side.
The characteristic of large immortal sects was comprehensive training.
Apart from having hard fists, they also required their people to have brains.
Especially those who occasionally went out to handle affairs on other people's turf.
Even Wang Ling, who had appeared the most urgent during that day's conversation, was not truly a fool.
Sometimes, if one wanted to push things forward quickly, one needed to use this nearly coercive method to prevent those who wanted to continue from staying silent.
Therefore, there would definitely be a plan. Since everyone was cooperating for the first time, the plan was not set in too much detail.
It had a feel of everyone improvising and seeing how the cooperation went.
But the general tone of the plan was there. At the very least, they could not fight within the home ground of the Mystic Mist Sect. The prerequisite for fighting was that Daoist Jade Sun had to be lured out of the sect.
If possible, it would be good if the Grand Elder also came out.
Only when those top combatants lost their home-ground advantage could Chu Xingchen hold off Daoist Jade Sun, while a group feigned attacks outside to attract frontal fire. Another group would rely on their own abilities to ambush their way into the Mystic Mist Sect in advance, all staying silent.
Only after the fire was attracted would they quietly search for the secrets of the Incense Fire Divine Dao.
After all, they weren't here to exterminate the sect; they mainly aimed to know when to stop.
Naturally, they had also arranged a plan for how to quickly retreat if Chu Xingchen was defeated instantly.
The method to attract fire mainly involved the Incense Fire Divine Dao outside the Mystic Mist Sect, as well as some other sore spots for the sect.
To lure out Daoist Jade Sun, they even specifically targeted the places with the most Grand Dao Sect disciples.
After receiving the request for aid, Daoist Jade Sun would be intercepted midway by Chu Xingchen.
They just had to avoid fighting Daoist Jade Sun inside the Mystic Mist Sect.
As for the Soul Formation Grand Elder inside the Mystic Mist Sect, he was directly ignored during the conversation.
Presumably, in their eyes, the only one who could determine the success or failure of the matter was Daoist Jade Sun alone.
In a certain sense, it was also because Daoist Jade Sun intervened that forced the people of other immortal sects to team up.
At this moment, it was obvious that the mysterious spirit power fluctuation coming from within the Mystic Mist Sect was undoubtedly Daoist Jade Sun's.
It couldn't be that a cultivator who had hidden inside to steal the base felt he could beat Daoist Jade Sun and just started fighting, right?
When Chu Xingchen looked at Chen Mousguang, he found that Chen Mousguang also wore an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Chen Mousguang's mind went through a wave of frantic struggle. He looked at Chu Xingchen and whispered a suggestion:
"How about... we wait and observe for a moment? If the situation isn't right... then we prepare to retreat?"
Although Chen Mousguang didn't think the cultivators who sneaked in would be discovered, looking at the current situation...
It couldn't be that Daoist Jade Sun was currently beating up the Mystic Mist Sect, right?
If someone else really had some other plan and didn't notify him, then don't blame him for not going up.
As soon as Chen Mousguang's voice fell, a brilliantly dazzling red spirit energy erupted from the west side of the Mystic Mist Sect, slamming ruthlessly against the sect's protective mountain formation.
Following the red spirit energy, other frightening spirit powers erupted from the same direction.
Chen Mousguang locked his gaze onto it. That direction was Ye An Tao's...
This... was support?
Could it be that this Ye An Tao was genuinely stupid?
Daring to provide support under such unclear circumstances?
Chu Xingchen sighed lightly. Sometimes, no matter how well a plan was made, it couldn't keep up with changes.
Although the situation was unclear now, it was obvious that if they retreated, it wouldn't be so easy to complete his system mission.
He had originally hoped to catch a ride on someone else's coattails and have someone else contribute effort.
In the end, he still had to go up and bear the brunt of it himself.
But that was fine too. This could be considered fishing in troubled waters?
At least someone was there to share the fire.
Chen Mousguang turned his head, just wanting to discuss the situation with Chu Xingchen and briefly discuss the option of teammates abandoning teammates, when he saw Chu Xingchen's figure transform into a rainbow light.
Just like that Ye An Tao, who seemed to lack a brain, he rushed out.
Chen Mousguang's mouth opened slightly. Although Chu Xingchen's action was a bit rash, he felt it matched a certain feeling.
The impression Chu Xingchen had given him before was mostly that of a steady little similar kind.
And sometimes he would give himself a few very good suggestions.
But... this didn't quite fit the style of his own Elder Bai, which was somewhat simple and crude.
Looking at Chu Xingchen's figure pressing forward without hesitation at this moment...
How to put it—it hit the spot.
This was the talent Elder Bai was optimistic about. Having strength, but not much brain.
"Leader... what about now?"
Chen Mousguang looked at the teammate asking him.
He hardened his heart and shouted sternly, "Does the Heavenly Derivation Sect have a tradition of selling out their own?! If we get beaten, we get beaten together."
