C585 first of all, guard

Gongsun Zaitian had already given the order, and the people from Listening Rain Pavilion were of course immediately prepared to retreat. Only the people from Surveillance Council had their gazes fixed on Zhao Yiyang, wanting him to think of an idea. Should they follow the marshal and leave together towards the north, or should they follow the dean's original plan, going straight to the southeast.

Zhao Yiyang clenched his teeth, and ordered his subordinates: "What are you all standing there for, didn't you hear the orders from the marshal?"

Although the current situation was still unclear, Zhao Yiyang was still impressed by Gongsun Zaitian's judgement. After all, under his command, their army charged all the way up north, killing all the members of the Nine King's private army without paying a price, and either completely annihilated or captured a large number of soldiers.

Furthermore, under the leadership of Gongsun Zaitian, Zhao Yiyang had won a great victory against more than 300,000 enemies of the Profound Nether Empire. Just these battle results alone were enough to convince anyone, so in the end, Zhao Yiyang chose to listen to Gongsun Zaitian's arrangements.

Gongsun Ze Tian did not have the time to care about Zhao Yiyang's reaction, he quickly arranged for everyone to form a ring defense formation so that the Listening Rain Pavilion could line up outside the formation, followed by the rest of the Surveillance Council, and the core circle, which included Gongsun Ze Tian, Zhao Yiyang and the Su sisters.

The reason why the people from Listening Rain Pavilion were guarding the outermost area was to help direct and control the formation, and to change it a little faster. Furthermore, through clever gestures and whistling, the enemies would probably not be able to figure out their plans and plans.

Secondly, all the members of the Listening Rain Pavilion were given a stone shining with a white light by Gongsun Zaitian. Although they didn't know what it was used for, but since the pavilion master had made the arrangements, he definitely had his own reasons for doing so.

On the other side, under the command of Gongsun Ztian, the group of people mounted their horses and quickly moved towards the north of the town.

The town was not very big, so it didn't take long for the team to arrive at the north side of the town. However, what was strange was that not only did Gongsun Ztian not order the team to speed up, he even ordered them to stop moving forward.

"Marshal, what's wrong?"

"It seems that the other party is determined to win this round!" I'm afraid we won't be able to escape! "

"What does that mean? I don't think there's any difference between the north and the north! "

"Retreat first, I'll explain it to you slowly!"

Therefore, Gongsun Ztian led his men back to the town and chose a strange house in the town. He ordered Zhang Sanli to search for as much food as possible, but regardless of whether they found it or not, they had to return within the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

Zhang San Li and his men left to choose food, while Gongsun Ze Tian and a few Listening Rain Pavilion's men started to arrange the mansion they were in.

The arrangement was not to swing the furniture or anything like that, but to bury the stones shining with white light all over the house.

The white stones seemed to be buried in accordance with a certain rule, but these outsiders were unable to see through them.

Fortunately, everyone here had an inexplicable amount of trust in Gongsun Ze Tian. Therefore, no one objected, and they only helped him silently.

The people of Surveillance Council did not stay idle either. They were arranged by Gongsun Zaitian to lay down sinister concealed weapons everywhere, there was nothing else in this town, the wooden ropes were not lacking, and with the Surveillance Council's own equipment, it was enough to place traps and weapons inside and outside the house.

After everything was set up, Zhang Sanli and his team returned. Other than dozens of corn, sweet potatoes, and a shriveled nest, they did not even find a single leaf.

"How did you only find such a small item?"

Marshal, almost all the towns have been searched. Not to mention chickens, ducks, fishes, even the cattle, horses, and sheep have been found. Furthermore, the vegetables are all outside the town.

"Forget it, let's do these!" It should be enough for us to last for a while! The water bags that we have on us will also be gathered at the Su sisters' place! The water in the town is no longer usable! "

Marshal, don't worry. We've brought back dozens of vats, which are meant to be used by the townspeople to store water and are hidden from the public. If we hadn't looked around, we wouldn't have been able to find them.

"The water and food have all been taken care of. Looks like I can spend some time with those people outside!"

"Why is the marshal so sure that we're surrounded?"

"Then you can answer my question first. There are no treasures here, nor is there any crucial evidence worth hiding. Why are all the people in the town slaughtered?"

"Subordinate is slow-witted!"

"Then let me ask you, if you have done such an infuriating thing, why did you let your Surveillance Council people know about it so quickly?"

"This ?"

"The answer is simple. They are trying to lure us here!"

"Tempt us?"

"That's right, they have committed such a heinous crime. If the people from your Surveillance Council knew about it, would they ignore it?"

"Then he must be here to investigate!"

"Do you know why you chose to attack here?"

"This subordinate does not know!"

"This is the only way from the north to the southeast! "Only by setting up an ambush here can we ensure that no matter whether or not we know about this matter, we will arrive here and successfully enter their trap!"

"Are they targeting us?"

"No, it's very possible that they're targeting me and the entire Surveillance Council!"

"Isn't that us?"

"It's different. If you don't come, any other group of Surveillance Council spies will end up like you, but I am their primary target. Although I don't know how they found me, I dare to say that they have been waiting for me for a long time!"

"And how?"

"Do you still remember when we left towards the north of the town, I suddenly called for the team to stop?"

"That's right. We still haven't figured it out. Why did the marshal make such a decision?"

"Because we've encountered a big problem, guarding the north side of the town ?"

"Could it be that there are a large number of enemies outside the town?"

"No, it's just one person!"

"No way!" Marshal, you're leading us away just for an enemy? "Isn't this a little..."

"So what if it's just one person? Don't tell me you can handle it?"

"Why not...?"

"I have to remind you, that person is a mid-grade ninth rank expert!" Gongsun Zaitian interrupted Zhao Yiyang's words in a teasing manner.

"What?" Nine ? Nine ? "Level?"

"That's right!" It was indeed at the ninth rank! How about you try it out, Old Zhao? "

"Ugh ?" I don't think so! However... To deal with us, do they even need to invite a Grade Nine Expert? Isn't this making a big deal out of nothing? "

"Haha!" "Do you think they can keep me if we don't hire some level nine fighters?"

"Is marshal also a ninth level commander-in-chief?"

"Not yet! However, their strength is not far away! "

"Marshal, since that's the case, why don't we ?"

"Charge out? Haha, a Grade Nine Expert like me might be able to escape on my own, but if I were to bring all of you along, it would be unbearable! "What's more..."

"Not to mention what?"

"Furthermore, they have more than one Grade Nine Expert this time!"

"Clang!"

"Pata!"

Gongsun Ztian spoke a shocking sentence that stunned almost everyone around him. The things in many people's hands fell to the ground, while Zhao Yiyang even more so simply fell off his chair and fell onto the ground, his lips moving countless of times. After a long while, he finally spoke out with two words that he didn't know whether it was words of exclamation or question, "Wh ? "What ??!"

"You didn't hear wrongly, if my guess is correct, the other party did not come with a level 9 cultivator, but a minimum of four, or even possibly five Grade Nine Expert s!" Gongsun Ze Tian said indifferently. However, no one could tell what he meant from his face. Was he nervous, was he afraid, was he worried ? Uh, but no matter how you looked at it, it was still calm and collected.

"Could it be that the marshal has some sort of plan to deal with it?"

"Hehe, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course it's the truth!"

"No!" "I have no confidence at all!"

"Then why are you still acting like nothing happened?"

"Is it possible that I have to tell my subordinates that we are facing at least five Grade Nine Expert s, and there are also countless experts between the sixth and eighth ranks. Are we really at the end of our rope?"

"I really can't say that!"

"Although we can't win this battle, we still have the confidence to stay on guard for a period of time!"

"Marshal, can we not catch our breath when we talk in the future?" A good person would be scared to death by you! "

"It's better to just attack. We can't just defend, we have to think of a way to break out of this encirclement. Otherwise, we'll starve to death here!"

"How about I risk my life to rush out and report this!"

"What is it? Are you tired of living? You want to die and play? "I'll bet that once you leave this town, you will definitely not live past three breaths of time!"

"I can't just tire myself to death here, can I?"

"Let's wait and see!" "Perhaps we will all be able to survive!"

? ?.

Outside of the little town, a group of mysterious people had gathered and were discussing something!

"Xiao Wu, what happened just now? Aren't those people heading in your direction? Why did he suddenly return to the town? Did something happen over there? "

"Second brother, I didn't even have the chance to catch my breath. As for why they suddenly retreated back into the town, how would I even know!"

The 12 Ghost Commanders were greatly shocked. If not for the Lord of the Dark World having something for them to do, the ones who came out this time are the members of the Treacherous Legion, how could they still be people of our Elder Group? All this work must be done well, and one must not be careless! Did you all hear that? "

"Yes, Big Brother!"

"Big brother, what should we do now? "They've all retreated back to the town. Are we going in too?"

As long as we stand guard here, sooner or later, they will be trapped in the town. Don't forget, we can destroy all the wells and food before we leave.

"That's not right!"

"Third brother, why is it inappropriate?"

"Do you think we can cover the sky with one hand? There are a lot of Surveillance Council's people inside. Do you think that such a small group of Surveillance Council's spies getting lost won't alert the Surveillance Council? When that time came, he only needed to send a few spies out to find him. Then, he would be able to attract even more powerful experts! That's not what we came here for! "

"Ol 'Three is right!" "Although it seems like they don't have much time, we don't have much either. We have to settle this as soon as possible!"

"Then what does big brother mean ??"

"When the sun rises, we will first investigate each other. According to General Wu Ya, that person is not ordinary. We have to be careful!"
