Chapter 397: Meeting Each Other

round the forest chieftain who was battling the beastmen. Though their hold was short-lived, it gave ripples enough time to thrust an ice shard formed from snow into their eyes.As each of the forest w...The ripples were waiting for this very moment. She drew her dagger and slashed fiercely towards the source of the sound, tearing open a gash.

Yu Bi Yao's body stiffened, realizing the danger approaching. She immediately threw the two captured wizards beside her to block the attack.

Blades flashed through the bodies of two unconscious wizards, heavily striking Jade Biyao. She was sent flying backwards, crashing against the cave wall with a sickening thud. A mouthful of blood mixed with chunks of flesh gushed from her lips.

Jade-Beryl fainted instantly, but the Xuan force and demonic energy within her body were still battling. Due to this blow, the demonic energy began to gain the upper hand. Her uncontrolled Xuan force was steadily weakening, while the demonic energy started to corrode her internal organs.

Ripple walked toward Jade Biyao, the ripples leading the way. Honglian set up another layer of defense outside the rotating formation. Master Wuyou observed everything around him; he didn't believe there were only these two people here.

Hidden in the shadows, Liang Gang, Guo Hui, and Guo Zi Zheng held their breath. They hadn't expected that Lin had brought help, and had immediately suppressed Gao Yang and Yu Bi Yao.

Coming to the side of the two unconscious support mages, Hong Lian stuffed a small pill into each of their mouths and then untied the restraints on them.

After a moment, the two regained consciousness and immediately got up to thank the three ripples.

"Thank you, Master Wu. The insider used ordinary people as bait, leading us into a trap. And the talisman emitting the distress signal was taken from me."

One of the mages said somewhat apologetically.

"You are injured, take those two people and leave here first."

Ripple spoke directly.

"But you only have three people, we should still stay and help!"

"No need, we three work well together. If we rashly join you, it would only detract from our performance."

Wu Lianyi gently refused.

Although these two were mages, Ripple had never worked with them before. Meeting them under these circumstances made her even more cautious, especially since this was a trap set for her.

The two scorned individuals understood the ripple’s veiled meaning, sighing at their own inferiority. In the end, they could only nod and follow the direction Ripple pointed, responsible for reopening the exit and carrying away the unconscious pair.

And where Jade-Green and Beryl had collided, a fissure appeared in the stone wall, just large enough for one person to pass through.

"Yu Biyao's physical strength is good, she opened a way for us."

Hong Lian smiled sweetly and said.

They want to take a different path, not the one Jade Bi Yao forced them to take. This way, their chances of falling into an ambush would be greatly reduced.

Ripple was the first to go in, followed by Crimson, and lastly, Worry-Free.

"Father, she won't go through the hallucinatory maze at the tomb entrance. What do we do"

Guo Zi Zheng whispered to Guo Huai.

Guo Huai couldn't see, and the evil spirit he raised couldn't replace his eyes at this time. He dared not approach Lian Ri and the others. These evil spirits also knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They were afraid of ending up like Yu Meili.

"It's alright, we dodged the illusionary array. There are still people waiting for us. You go and activate the second layer of the formation."

Guo Huai immediately said.

Then Guo Huai turned his head and said to Liang Gang, who had been silent beside him:

"Now it's your turn!"

I know! This is the last time, if you break your promise.

Liang Gang spoke in a low voice, his eyes scanning Guo Zizheng's face. His intentions were clear: if you don't let my wife and children live well, I won't let your son live well either.

Although Guo Huai couldn't see, Liang Gang's murderous intent towards his own son was still palpable to him.

He immediately said:

"Rest assured! I don't want to see things end in a total disaster. That wouldn't benefit either of us."

Liang Gang then turned away coldly and entered another space.

"Zheng'er, when Liang Gang controls the situation, you just need to take down Wu Lianyi as soon as possible. Leave the rest to me. Follow the plan we discussed before and don't hesitate for a moment."

Guo Huai anxiously cautioned, his hand accurately grasping his son's wrist in the darkness.

"Father, rest assured. I will definitely get her Xuan power back!"

Guo Zi Zheng gritted his teeth and said, he wanted to avenge his past humiliation.

On the other side, the Ripple trio officially entered the burial ground. They clearly took a shortcut to get here. This wasn't the tomb directly across from the main entrance, but a side tomb. There weren't many funerary items inside, and they were obviously moved. This must have been done by those four grave robbers.

"Wu Lianyi, I advise you to leave here as soon as possible and not go down a path of no return."

Liang Gang's voice came from the air.

"Uncle Liang, didn't you already go into hiding How are you still here Be careful not to be used as a pawn and end up taking the blame. The disappearance of your wife and children has already come to the attention of the Sorcerer's Association."

"Therefore, I deduce that you were coerced into releasing the rogue cultivator Gao Yang, and also Guo Huai's son, Guo Zi Zheng. As long as you are willing to return to the Sorcerer Association with me, I will intercede on your behalf."

The ripples remained undisturbed, and began to sway Liang Gang.

Liang Gang's eyes flickered, some hesitation, while Guo Huai's voice timely sounded:

You needn't deceive him any longer; he has long since cooperated with me and the Feng family. Even your master, Liang Feng, was once employed by the Feng family. You are simply kept in the dark and still consider yourself a legitimate practitioner of Xuanmen!

Ripple wasn't surprised after hearing this, she just didn't expect Guo Huai to know about it too.

"It was you, the blind man, who threatened Uncle Liang to save your son and satisfy your own selfish desires. Now you're making up these baseless accusations to upset me, thinking I'll fall for it"

Ripples said calmly.

Then she gave Hong Lian and Wu You a knowing glance. The two understood instantly, and almost as soon as her words fell, they both moved to attack a stone wall.

With a roar, the stone wall cracked open. The three of them saw Liang Gang and Guo Huai on the other side, and standing in front of the two were thirteen members of the special task force, including Wu Yong, Zhang Zhan, and Lan Jie.

At this time, their eyes were wide open, staring straight ahead, standing like wooden statues.

"You dare to manipulate ordinary people!"

Hong Lian's voice was icy cold. This was a taboo among spellcasters, whether from orthodox or unorthodox lineages. Both sides fought based on their abilities. Even manipulating evil spirits, like someone like Yu Mei Li, wouldn't elicit such a strong reaction from Hong Lian.

But once ordinary people are involved, even fellow sorcerers will look down on Guo Huai.

So what As long as we're the ultimate winners!

"You are right, the classics passed down through the ages are written by the victors."

The ripple smile was somewhat cold, this moment she also moved with killing intent.

"Amitabha Buddha! Today, Wuyou is also going to break the precepts of not killing."

Worry-free took the lead, throwing a golden basin at the thirteen people charging towards them, blocking their first wave of attack.

“Honglian, you save him! I killed him!”

While the ripples spoke, they had already untied the silk cords from both their hands. With a twist of their wrists, the red silk cords wrapped around Guo Huai and Liang Gang.

Although Guo Huai was blind, his ears were very sensitive. Hearing the sound, he immediately left his position with the help of his contracted evil spirit.

The red ribbon was not wrapped around Guo Huai, but it ensnared the enormous evil spirit.. He would occasionally ask a few questions, but he inquired more about the matter of the cultivators who had strayed from the righteous path.“It seems that the Canglan Continent is not as calm on the...
