After the immortal disappeared

Just then, several bird demons hurriedly flew over and reported:

Disciples of the Huanzong suddenly appeared by the Yaozi Lake, and their number increased. Now there are two or three hundred!

The Huanzong sent people to the inverted lake to pick silver bead fruit branches and send them to Yaozi Lake!

Disciples of the Huanzong jumped into the lake with silver bead fruit in their hands!

It sounds like the Huanzong intends to use Yaozi Lake to retreat to the real world. Bai Ziqi's heart tightened. Has it finally started?

"As you expected." The gray parrot couldn't help laughing, and scared back a four-legged lizard that had just emerged from the ground. "Well, Qianhuan can't wake up!"

If Qianhuan can wake up, does the Huanzong still need to jump into the lake to escape?

There is no return to Yaozi Lake. If Xiao Wencheng and others still have a glimmer of hope, they will not gamble their lives like this.

Its laughter is very happy.

"The timing of Huan Zong's jumping into the lake is also very good. Shall we chase them?"

"No hurry, we are not far from Yaozi Lake, and we still have plenty of time." While Bai Ziqi was commanding the battle, he did not relax his research on Yaozi Lake. Since Miao Zhantian also judged that it was the way to the real world, Bai Ziqi keenly captured an invisible trap encountered in this invasion of the Upside-Down Sea:

Time limit.

The silver bead fruit only glows for one night.

The glowing silver bead fruit is a pass to cross Yaozi Lake.

Once they miss this night, the silver bead fruit will no longer glow, and they will miss the opportunity to return to the real world!

The next time the silver bead fruit glows again will be in a month.

However, the Storm Wall will be closed again in nine days!

In other words, if they don't leave now, they will have to wait until the Storm Wall reopens in five years before they have a chance to leave.

Of course, Bai Ziqi is not sure whether Miao Zhantian can find other ways to leave the Upside-Down Sea.

But he feels that there is little hope.

However, Bai Ziqi was not in a hurry to jump into the lake. He wanted to wait for the reaction of the Illusion Sect to determine whether Yaozi Lake was another trap.

What kind of temperament does an immortal have? How could he trap himself in a desperate situation?

Sure enough, the Illusion Sect began to evacuate when the sun rose.

Miao Zhantian praised them for their good timing of evacuation, because he saw through the Illusion Sect's little tricks and knew that Xiao Wencheng and others wanted to trap them in this fantasy world.

At this moment, Bai Ziqi actually had a flash of hesitation in his heart. If Qianhuan had woken up and pretended to be unable to do it, would it still be risky for the Illusion Sect's disciples to jump into Yaozi Lake? But this assumption is illusory and there is no way to deduce it. Judging from various signs, it is unlikely.

The possibility is too small, so decision makers usually don't consider it.

Besides, if they want to leave the Upside-down Sea, they have to go to the real world through Yaozi Lake in the end.

This road must be taken.

So Bai Ziqi also gave an order: "The whole army advances towards Yaozi Lake."

Soon, Bai Wei randomly captured dozens of prisoners, selected one from them, and brought him to Bai Ziqi.

This was a wolverine, very big and skilled, but it was tied up.

The right front leg was broken and dragged on the ground at an awkward angle. It was obvious that Bai Wei had tortured it when he was interrogating it.

It also drooped its ears and looked at Bai Ziqi with a look of fear rather than hatred.

Bai Shi said on the side: "Master Dushi, other captives pointed out that this wolverine is the sixteenth disciple of Elder Liu. He has been with him during the battle and knows a lot about the affairs of the sect. I have asked, its mission is to transport the silver bead fruit from Upside Down Lake to Yaozi Lake, because Shilong Peak has issued an evacuation order, limiting everyone to bring the fruit into the lake within two hours."

"Within two hours, why?"

The wolverine answered honestly: "Once the time limit is over, Yaozi Lake will be closed. The bottom of the lake actually glows until two hours after sunrise."

Bai Ziqi smiled slightly, it was indeed so.

"What are the risks of Yaozi Lake?"

"You can't get out of the Upside-Down Sea, but in the past few decades, four uncles in the sect disappeared without a word. Rumor has it that they went into Yaozi Lake and haven't returned yet." As a disciple of Elder Liu, this wolverine knows more inside information and true and false news than ordinary disciples. "I heard that the superiors ordered us to jump into Yaozi Lake. Those who knew about it were very scared, and some disobeyed and ran away."

Bai Wei promised to be lenient to those who confessed. Besides, the image of the sect and the immortals has plummeted. Seeing that the building is about to collapse again, the wolverine can't find a reason to die rather than surrender. Just confess, why bother to be stubborn?

"Several people who spread rumors were beheaded on the spot. Later, some brothers who swam across the lake swam back, and others were relieved to go into the lake." The key is that it is impossible not to go in. The Tiangong team has already gained the upper hand. Everyone knows that jumping into Yaozi Lake may still have a glimmer of hope, but staying will definitely kill you.

"The sect didn't tell us what will happen after you cross the lake?"

"The sect leader has issued an order that the life gate of the Upside Down Sea is at the bottom of Yaozi Lake. We will be safe once we cross the lake, but we are required to evacuate in an orderly manner. The fellow disciples of Shilong Mountain will go first, and Elder Liu will lead us to fight and retreat."

"How many people are left on the mountain? Where are the wealth?" Shilong Peak is covered by the barrier, and the demon birds of the Heavenly Palace will be discovered as soon as they approach, making it difficult to detect.

"I don't know, but the last time I transported the silver bead fruit, I saw Ya Taowu by the lake. This big guy had been guarding the treasure house at the bottom of the Fairy Light Cave. In the past thirty years, I have only seen it come out for a stroll twice. But this time it was also sent to the lake, probably to escort the wealth of the Fairy Light Cave away."

"Fighting and retreating..." Bai Ziqi's eyes flickered slightly, remembering that the Heavenly Palace team was indeed chasing the disciples of the Illusion Sect all the way here, which was really strange, "How many people did the Illusion Sect arrange to transport the silver bead fruit?"

"About two hundred or so, all of them must be agile in their legs and feet, or have outstanding escape skills."

If you have flexible legs and feet, you need to transport it by land. "Why not use the Haoyuan Golden Mirror to transmit directly?"

Previously, the Huanzong team used the Haoyuan Golden Mirror to come and go directly. Why did they retreat while fighting this time?

"The sect only issued this order without stating it clearly. But I asked my mentor privately, and he said that the sect's Xuanjing reserves are insufficient. If we want to keep them to deal with you, we will only have to make everyone use their legs more."

"Insufficient reserves?" Is this the reason? Bai Ziqi rolled his eyes, "So, how did the people on the mountain get down?"

The Huan Sect disciples suddenly appeared in large numbers by the Yaozi Lake, and the bird monsters hovering on the lake did not notice them heading south beforehand.

Wolverine said: "They said it was teleported here."

In other words, Huan Zong can still teleport instantly, but is it just because the reserve of Xuan Jing is really not enough, so he is saving some money? After all, Wu Shoudao sneaked into Xianguang Cave and stole more than 60,000 kilograms of high-grade Xuanjing from Bai Ziqi, greatly reducing the inventory of Huanzong.

Are you suddenly in a pinch?

Bai Ziqi asked a few more questions. Seeing that the monster couldn't give him any useful new information, he waved his hand and asked people to take him away.

Then he asked the gray parrot: "Holy Lord, what are the current locations of the marked targets?"

God's gaze was not only directed at one or two targets, but God quietly marked several major figures.

"Either they are at the shore of Yaozi Lake, or they are moving towards Yaozi Lake." The gray parrot replied, "There are several of them, and they disappear when they reach the lake."

Jump into the lake, so the target disappears?

From this point of view, Huan Zong really jumped into the lake to escape, and it was not a fool's errand.

Bai Ziqi asked again: "Where is the spider demon next to He Xiao?"

This was a goal that he implored the gods to highlight.

"We have also arrived at the lakeside." The gray parrot obviously knew what he was worried about. "It had left the upside down lakeside and went all the way north to Shilong Mountain. Twenty breaths ago it was still more than twenty miles away, and suddenly it turned to the waist of Yaozi Lake."

"Then, He Xiao will probably be sent here too."

Huan Zong left, and He Xiao also wanted to escape together.

"Disappeared." The gray parrot looked towards the shore of Yaozi Lake, "Now."

"They also entered Yaozi Lake." Bai Ziqi subconsciously pressed his knuckles, "It's our turn. Seventeen, give me the order to speed up the whole army!"

There are bound to be risks when entering Yaozi Lake. But so what?

When they enter the upside-down sea, aren't they aiming for greater risks and greater profits? We have come this far, are we still afraid of adding more risks?

The Tiangong team marched quickly.

After all, Huan Zong's evacuation was too hasty. The Yin Zhu Guo could not be transported in time, and the Tiangong team sent people to intercept it. More than a hundred Huan Zong disciples were unable to enter the water and were killed on the spot.

Tiangong occupied Yaozi Lake.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and it is less than an hour before Yaozi Lake is closed. And this is based on the brightness of the silver pearl fruit, and the actual time limit should be shorter.

If you don't leave, it will be too late.

A new batch of silver bead fruits hanging on branches arrived, and several monsters took the lead in taking the beads into the water.

People gathered around the shore and saw them diving deeper and deeper, disappearing into the waves.

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, these monsters emerged from the lake again and reported to Bai Ziqi:

"You can pass! It's safe on that side."

Bai Ziqi then waved his hand: "Come in!"

Each tribe distributed silver pearl fruits and went into the water in an orderly manner.

Bai Ziqi himself also picked a silver pearl fruit in his hand and took a deep breath.

He was about to jump into the lake when Bai Shi suddenly rushed to report: "Master Dudu, Dong Ying found Sotuo's whereabouts in Qinggang. He seemed to be coming here, but he was blocked by our men at the lake. "

There are only three elders left in Huanzong. Apart from Xiao Wencheng and Liu Qingdao, there is only Xu Tuo. But this guy was very agile and had just killed a tribal leader in the Tiangong team.

However, it was sneaky and lucky. It was never noticed by the gods, and there was no golden thread wrapped around its body.

It's not easy to track its whereabouts.

"Is he the only one?"

"There are three disciples beside me."

It would be very tight to go after the elders of the Fantasy Sect at this time. Bai Ziqi pondered for a moment, but the gray parrot had already spoken: "Jin Na, Chi Zha, you go find the vulture to lead the way, and cross the lake as soon as possible after dealing with Su Tuo."

"Yes." In response, two gray shadows flew into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Bai Ziqi looked at their backs. Not counting Miao Zhantian, there were only six immortals and demons on our side. Now two more were sent to chase Sutuo, and only four were left in the lake to pursue them. If it were him, he might have ignored Sotuo. But this was Miao Zhantian's arrangement, and he couldn't say much.
