Hearing that Han Yu's arrangement had indeed worked, Du Buushi's tight mouth relaxed slightly, and a look of approval flashed across his eyes. But he did not relax his vigilance and quickly ordered everyone to evacuate Mingdu.
As Han Yu expected, martial law has been imposed in Mingdu City, with soldiers in black military uniforms patrolling back and forth, and the atmosphere is solemn.
Although these ordinary soldiers are useless to soul mentors like them, there are too many ants to kill the elephant, and a large number of troops will undoubtedly compress their activity space and increase the risk of exposure.
Du Bu Shou led everyone, relying on their familiarity with the terrain and agility to move through the streets and alleys, avoiding the sight of patrolling soldiers.
The shortcomings of Mingdu's lack of city walls were clearly revealed at this moment, which also facilitated their evacuation.
Under the leadership of Du Bushu, they quickly left Mingdu quietly and joined the Noumenon Sect people waiting outside the city.
Everyone took a break in a dense forest a few kilometers away from the competition venue, waiting for Poison to investigate the situation. This forest is lush and leafy, blocking out the sky and the sun, making it an excellent hiding place.
Du BuShu went alone to scout near the competition venue. He was strong and fast, and could move freely through the woods, like a ghost. With his cultivation, he was naturally not afraid of being discovered.
Du Buushi watched the busy Han Yu on the competition stage from a distance, nodding secretly in his heart, feeling pleased with Han Yu's growth.
This boy really has the demeanor of a sect leader now. The plans and arrangements this time are all in order. After returning, you can consider letting him take over some of the sect affairs.
Du Bushui was thinking as he cast his gaze towards the competition venue, with fierce murderous intent gradually emerging in his eyes.
If the evil soul masters of the three underground forces, the minions of the Holy Spirit Cult, and the soul masters acting as referees could all be eliminated in one go, the blow to the Sun Moon Empire would probably be no less than that of killing Xu Tianran.
But he also understood that this was just a good wish.
There are many experts gathered here, including five titled Douluo-level evil soul masters and several ninth-level soul mentors. Their strength cannot be underestimated.
Even if Shrek Academy has all the masters on this trip, it will not be easy to win. What’s more, a war will inevitably be protracted, and since the Sun and Moon Empire knows that their target is the competition venue in the western suburbs, You must have taken precautions in advance.
Du Buushi looked up at the Sun and Moon Divine Needle suspended in the air. Even with his title Douluo cultivation, he couldn't help but feel a hint of threat.
Fortunately, Han Yu brought the news in time! Let Qiuer and the others bring the news that the deputy leader of the Holy Spirit Sect and several elders are here.
Otherwise, Poisonous Death might really lead everyone to launch a surprise attack.
But now it’s just them. Once surrounded by reinforcements coming from the opponent, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
Weighing the pros and cons, Poison still chose to endure.
His current purpose is very simple. As long as Han Yu is rescued, today's plan will be completed.
Next, let’s see how much surprise Han Yu can bring them with the green signal he sent earlier.
The muzzles exposed in the palace buildings of the Sun and Moon Empire? They have all been retracted at this time. All kinds of cleaning and repair work are being carried out in an orderly manner.
Xu Tianran was still standing in front of the ruins of the study, with the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect and Jing Hongchen standing on either side of him. At this time, all the evil soul masters had disappeared, and no one knew where they went.
The Dragon King Douluo has long disappeared.
A guard wearing a light golden uniform quickly ran to Jing Hongchen and whispered something.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Jing Hongchen bowed slightly and saluted Xu Tianran before continuing, "The highest security on the east, north and south city walls has been completed, and all the nine-level fixed soul cannons have been installed. Preparations are complete. As long as they dare to break out from these three directions, they will immediately be attacked by our strongest artillery fire."
He paused, glanced at the intelligence in his hand, and continued, "According to us. The spy's report is that they are currently divided into two groups. "Oh? Two groups?" Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate. Void, "It seems that they want to disperse our troops! Tell me, where did they go?"
Jing Hongchen looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "A group of people led by those from Shrek Academy , went to the west, and seemed to be planning to break out from the west city gate.”
"To the west?" Xu Tianran raised his eyebrows slightly and sneered at the corner of his mouth, "It seems that Shrek Academy wants to use their flying soul guide to force a breakout.
Hmph, they don't even think about it. If Without my permission, do they think they can really fly out of Mingdu?"
Jing Hongchen nodded slightly, agreeing with Xu Tianran's judgment, and then continued: "With the Noumenon Sect, Tianhun Empire, The people led by the Xingluo Empire went to a viscount mansion in the east of the city.
There was no movement after entering the mansion. They seemed to be dormant. "
"Hibernating?" Xu. Natural brows wrinkled slightly, this word made him feel a little uneasy, "National Master, what do you think?"
Jing Hongchen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I believe that they are not just dormant." He paused and analyzed, "If they and Shrek Academy split up because of differences, then their breakout direction will be It must not be in the west."
"What the Imperial Master means..." Xu Tianran asked.
"I believe that they want to confuse us and make us mistakenly think that they will break out from the west, and then take the opportunity to break out from other directions." Jing Hongchen expressed his guess.
Xu Tianran's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "The National Preceptor's analysis is reasonable. Pass on the order and order people to strengthen surveillance of the Viscount Mansion in the east of the city, and we must try to force them to leave from the west. "
"Yes!" Jing Hongchen accepted the order and was about to turn away, but was stopped by Xu Tianran.
"Wait a minute," a cold light flashed in Xu Tianran's eyes, "National Master, can you send some of your people there? I need to know their every move."
The National Master understood what was behind Xu Tianran's words. He naturally understood the profound meaning. Xu Tianran wanted him to send the elite of the Holy Spirit Cult to sneak into the viscount's mansion and closely monitor every move of those people in order to grasp their movements.
He bowed slightly and said respectfully: "I understand, let's go and make arrangements now." Then, he rolled his eyes slightly, changed the subject, and said: "Your Highness, I have already made arrangements one step ahead. Deployed and dispatched a group of capable personnel to lurk near the Viscount Mansion
Now that the strong men of Shrek Academy have left, my disciples have cooperated sincerely with the empire's soul master army to form a cornering force. If they want to force a breakout, they will have to pay a heavy price, and even the whole army may be wiped out."
He paused, with a hint of confusion in his tone, "I just don't understand something. Why doesn't Your Highness let us go all out to catch all those people? If the Supreme Elder also joins the battle, we will be able to keep at least half of them. Wouldn't that be great?" Xu Tianran heard this. , his eyes changed slightly, then returned to normal, he raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "The Imperial Master does not know, this is the capital of the empire, where the Mingdu Palace is located, how can we start the war lightly? If we use all our strength to Going into a head-on fight with them will certainly cause them great losses, but our own casualties will certainly not be small either.
What's more, there are many powerful people at the Title Douluo level among them. Once they ignore the unwritten rules and launch an attack into the city, the people of Mingdu will inevitably be devastated. How should I explain to the subjects of the empire? "
He paused and said with some meaning: "Our goal this time is not only to give them a heavy blow, but also to avoid our own casualties as much as possible. After all, your Teaching and cultivating talents is not easy! "This last sentence has a certain meaning. It is clearly a reminder to the Imperial Master not to act rashly.
He knows clearly in his heart that the reason why the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult advocates direct action is because he does not care about the lives of civilians at all.< br>
The death of a large number of civilians is of great benefit to these evil soul masters, as they can absorb resentment and improve their cultivation.
Of course, he is afraid that the world will not be in chaos, and he wishes that the world would be in chaos. Good opportunity to fish in troubled waters and expand the power of the Holy Spirit Religion
But how could Xu Tianran let him get his wish? Frankly speaking, Xu Tianran was actually not too worried about the people from Shrek Academy and Noumenon Sect violating the rules of fighting titled Douluo. He was more worried that these evil soul masters were taking advantage of the chaos to cause havoc, killing civilians and causing even greater chaos.
Hearing this, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect snorted coldly, with a sinister look in his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said: "Those little guys from the Snow Demon Sect must not be allowed to escape! I will kill them all. He will become a corpse puppet and will never be reincarnated!"
The hatred for the Snow Demon Sect in his heart was overwhelming. Several outstanding young evil soul masters died tragically at the hands of the Snow Demon Sect, which was a great stimulus to him. , which made him heartbroken, wishing he could crush the Snow Demon Sect into ashes.
Seeing this, Xu Tianran quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, Imperial Master, since the people from Shrek Academy have gone to the west, they will naturally leave from the west.
There will be a final tomorrow At least they will not leave Mingdu before the decisive battle. They are currently withdrawing from the city just to confuse us. I am afraid they will come back later.
After all, they can't bear to part with the leaders of the younger generation.
As long as they go to the west, I can guarantee that none of them can escape, and we can catch them all at the minimum cost. "
The leader of the Holy Spirit nodded slightly and stopped saying anything.
The last point!
Looking at the few gravels left in the hourglass, Ye Yulin became a little nervous.
He stared at the hourglass, which seemed to turn into a predator of time, greedily devouring every golden grain of sand, and he could only watch as it ate away the hope of victory bit by bit.
Ye Yulin's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, his breathing became rapid, and beads of sweat oozed from his palms.
Han Yu still maintained that focused state, as if all the noise in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
The carving knife in his hand beat like an elf, drawing mysterious lines on the metal plate.
The patterns of the last core array are coming to an end. The complicated patterns are like the bright stars in the night sky, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.
"Is it too late?" Ye Yulin prayed silently in his heart. How he hoped that time could stop at this moment and give Han Yu more time to complete this final masterpiece.
The surrounding audience held their breaths, their eyes fixed on Han Yu.
Everyone felt that time had frozen at this moment, and the air was filled with tension and anticipation.
Those gamblers who placed their bets on Han Yu, at this moment, their moods were ups and downs like a roller coaster.
They stared at Han Yu's every move, praying for a miracle to happen.
The gamblers who did not bet on Han Yu secretly mocked the stupidity of these people in their hearts. In their opinion, Han Yu no longer had any hope of making a comeback, and the winner of this game was destined to be the talented young man from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Ye Yulin took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
He knew that now was not the time to despair, he had to do something, even if it was just to buy a little time for Han Yu.
He stretched out his hand to take back the soundproof soul guide beside him, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice: "The hourglass is about to end. After it ends, I will count down the dozens for the final time."
Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone present.
Han Yu's movements paused slightly, he raised his head, his eyes met Ye Yulin's, and then he nodded gently to indicate that he had heard.
Ye Yulin's words undoubtedly gave Han Yu a reassurance, allowing him to focus more on the final sprint.
“Hey!”
The carving knife in Han Yu’s hand drew a perfect arc, and the pattern of the last core array was finally completed.
At that moment, the entire competition venue seemed to be enveloped by an invisible energy, and the core arrays emitted dazzling light, illuminating the entire competition stage.
"It's done!" Ye Yulin's eyes flashed with surprise. He never expected that Han Yu could actually complete the final sprint at the last moment.
Other referees and contestants also showed surprised expressions. They never expected that this game would have such a dramatic change.
At this moment, the last grain of sand in the hourglass finally slipped, announcing the end of the game time.
"The countdown begins, ten-" Ye Yulin announced loudly, he deliberately lengthened his voice to win every minute and every second for Han Yu.
Han Yu let out a long sigh of relief. He put down the carving knife in his hand and wanted to stand up and stretch his muscles.
However, due to maintaining the same posture for a long time and the excessive consumption of mental energy, his legs weakened, his body lost his balance, and he was about to fall to the ground. (End of this chapter)
