C589 Unable to speak

They could only think, because they really couldn't get out of town.

Under the lead of a few elders, they slowly retreated towards the south of the town. The reason they chose this direction was because it was relatively close to them, and at the same time, there were some houses that they could use as cover. From the looks of it, this was the best escape plan.

But, but, but, but, a person that they did not follow common sense to provoke, how could let them get their wish? It would be good if they didn't die!

After the group of elite experts had run for so long, there were still people who became alert. However, although they felt that something was wrong, they weren't sure of their intuition. They heard him ask: "Why haven't they left the town after running for so long?"

The speaker was unintentional, but what he said was intentional. After the few Elders, led by the Great Elder, heard this, their bodies all froze. Their hearts thumped a few times as they thought to themselves, "Not good!"

Previously, they were too busy running away, and most of them were focused on the strange dead people chasing them from behind, so they didn't care how long it would take them to get out of the town.

From the east to the west, from the south to the north, according to their current speed, they should not be able to reach more than half an incense stick of time. Moreover, they were originally at the south of the town, but at their current position, they had already run far away from it.

Since they had found the problem, they couldn't blindly escape anymore. The few elders shifted their attention from the dead men chasing after them to the surrounding buildings, because the town's architecture was similar, if they didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to tell. But now that they looked closely, they immediately discovered a difference.

If they were right, the scenes they saw were endlessly repeating, including the buildings around them, the ground they were walking on, and even the scattered objects everywhere. However, all of this was too real, and their previous attention was not here, so they did not notice it, but now that they realized this problem, cold sweat started to form behind their backs, even in that dangerous situation back then, they were not nervous nor did they sweat a single drop.

However, things were different now. They had unknowingly fallen for the other party's trick, and such a subtle use of illusion techniques was simply too inconceivable. Just from this point alone, one could see that this person's skill was shocking. He was a legendary expert.

It seemed like he had kicked a metal board this time!

Although they were helpless, the desire to live still made them want to make their final struggles.

As if he had sensed something, Gongsun Ze Tian slowly opened his eyes. He stared into the distance with sparkling eyes and revealed a playful smile. He said to himself: "I discovered it so quickly. I was planning to have some fun! What a pity! "

"What did you find?" Su Wanyue suddenly asked.

"Why did you come up?"

"It's depressing down here, it's a good opportunity to come up and take a look at you, Pavilion Master!"

"Let them dig the tunnel and leave as soon as possible! I will hold them here! "

"You want me? "No, I don't agree!"

"Do I need you to agree to my request?"

"But, Pavilion Master ?"

"Enough, no need to say anymore. You guys can only distract me, so I can't go all out against my enemies. Without you guys, I can easily deal with them!"

"Then what if there's something wrong with the Pavilion Master?"

"First, let's not talk about whether there will be any mishaps. If there is any mishap, help me guard the Listening Rain Pavilion and help me guard the Situ Family. That will be the greatest repayment to me!"

"Yes!" Pavilion Master! "

"If I still haven't contacted you guys in half a month, go inform Qiu Canghai and let him take over the Listening Rain Pavilion. Tell him to do his job well, and if he doesn't do it well, I'll come back and spank him!"

"Puchi!" A charming laugh came from behind Su Wanyue. Without asking, one could tell that the laughing lady was Su Wanyue's younger sister, Su Wanting.

"Stop fooling around!" Su Wanyue reprimanded her little sister, then turned her head and respectfully said to Gongsun Zaitian: "Pavilion Master will definitely be fine. Listening Rain Pavilion has just taken over such a large territory, she can't leave you alone now!"

"Who said that I would be in trouble? They even wanted to keep me here, so let's talk in my sleep!"

"Then ?"

"Alright, I don't have time to waste on you anyway!" Take your people and leave quickly! Tell Zhao Yiyang to return to the imperial city immediately, and not to come back! "

"Yes!" What else do you have for me? "

Continue to find Leng Nuohan for me! We have to find it! "

"I will, I will! "I ?" "I ?" Su Wanyue wanted to say something, but hesitated. She seemed to have something she wanted to say, but it seemed that she didn't know how to say it. She still wasn't sure if she should say it or not.

"What else do you want?" Gongsun Ztian asked in puzzlement.

"No more!" Su Wanyue's face turned slightly red, she hurriedly hid herself, and said subconsciously.

"Let's go down. The ventilation holes should have already been opened, right?" Gongsun Ztian casually asked.

"Yes sir!"

"Then I'm going to seal the entrance!"

"En!" Su Wanyue's IQ was not low at all. After a slight pause, she understood Gongsun Ze Tian's intentions, if it really came to a crisis, she would have to return even more, let alone to Zhang San, Li Si and the others, who were all loyal to Gongsun Ze Tian. This was what Gongsun Ze Tian wanted to stop those people from returning, and did not want them to make unnecessary sacrifices.

The other point that Su Wanyue was clear of was that even if she did not agree, in the end, her entire body would be restrained, and then, she would be thrown back into the tunnel. Gongsun Zaitian had already been like this for a long time, and whatever he wanted to do, no one else could go against his will.

The two girls turned around and reluctantly walked down the tunnel, as if they could tell that something was wrong. Su Wanting didn't say anything, but the big sister's eyes that were filled with tears, betrayed her current conflicted and struggling mood.

Not long after the two girls entered the tunnel, a muffled sound rang out, the only effect of which was that the tunnel that was originally bent down by one person was completely filled with the surrounding earth. Then, Gongsun Zaitian waved his hand, and just the force of the palm wind alone was enough to roll up some straw and spread it on top of the tunnel, barely making a cover.

Next, Gongsun Zaitian had to use all means at his disposal. He had to trap these people here for at least seven days.

The only reason they had chosen was because under the condition of food and water being cut off, their bodies could only last for seven days at most. As for that group of enemies, other than the five Grade Nine Expert with profound abilities, even if they could persevere for another seven days, it would be enough for them to fully absorb their battle power.

It had to be known that although there were cultivators on this continent, they still relied on food and water to a certain extent. They couldn't completely separate themselves from the food and water like the cultivators could and would not be able to live a life without food.

At this time, the town could be said to have no more food or water, and Gongsun Zaitian himself could be said to be able to stay in the Fasting Valley for a month or so. Thus, in comparison, Gongsun Ze's battle against the enemy could be said to be invincible.

? ?.

Beneath the hole, Su Wanyue could no longer suppress her tears. Holding her sister in her arms, she cried loudly, and as she cried, she mumbled, "In the end, I didn't say it out loud, and in the end, I didn't say it out loud to him!"

"..." Su Wanting didn't know how to console her sister. She could clearly feel the regret in her elder sister's heart, and she could understand the indescribable sadness and reluctance to part from her.

Su Wanting and her sister had been together for so many years, how could she not know what her sister wanted and wanted? At the same time, Su Wanting also knew that Gongsun Ze Tian was not a god. Even if he was already in the ranks of the Grade Nine Expert s, he was also not a match for the five Grade Nine Expert s.

At this moment, Gongsun Ze Tian had chosen to hold back the enemy and let them leave first. As long as they were not retards or idiots, they all knew that Gongsun Ze Tian was using his own life in exchange for everyone's chance to live.

As for the farewell just now, it could be said that they had parted forever. Even until now, her elder sister still hadn't said the confession that she had kept in her heart for a long time, and it was very likely that she would never have the chance to say it again.

"Elder sister, you almost said something just now, why didn't you say it out loud?"

"I can't. Actually, so many years have passed, even if I don't say it, I still know the answer. I just want to confirm it, but right now, I can't say it!"

"Why?"

"Before the great battle, we cannot distract the pavilion master just because of me. Furthermore, I have a feeling that he will not die so easily, he will definitely return! Because he's Gongsun Zhaotian, there's nothing he can't do! "

"Elder sister ?" Su Wanting wanted to say more, but suddenly, a series of footsteps came from the tunnel at an extremely fast speed. Su Wanting knew that this was not the time to speak about it, so she obediently shut her mouth, moving forward slightly to hide from Su Wanyue who was wiping her tears.

"Miss Su, Second Miss Su, what happened just now? Why did we hear a muffled sound?" Zhang San asked first.

"It's okay. The marshal has to set up the formation, so he has to estimate us accidentally. He was worried that the enemy would notice us and cause him to split his attention, so he temporarily blocked the tunnel and ordered us to quickly clear the tunnel before heading to the surrounding cities for reinforcements!"

"Second Miss Su, is what you said true?"

"That's right, my sister is right!"

"Miss Su, did you cry?"

"You misunderstand. The dust was too big just now. I was blinded!"

"Miss Su, the Zhang brothers and I have been courted by the marshal and have become his janissaries. From then on, even if we were to kill the enemy on the battlefield, our janissaries and brothers have never left the marshal's side. It's the same now, we will never abandon the marshal and leave on our own!" And please forgive me for not believing your words! "

"That's right, Fourth Brother Li, dig! Let's go and accompany the marshal!"

"Come back here!" You dare to disobey my orders? " Su Wanyue frowned, looking fierce, but weak inside as she spoke to Zhang San and Li Si.

"I ?"

"I know that you guys are worried and anxious. Me too, if it's possible, do you think that I, Su Wanyue, am someone who is afraid of death?"

"But ?"

"Let's not talk about the commander-in-chief's order, you must obey him. Besides, the marshal must have his reasons for doing so. Otherwise, would he be able to block the tunnel?" The reason why he did that is because he wants you all to not be able to go back and find him. This is his attitude and his good intentions.

"Li Si ? ?"

"Go back, all of you come back with me. Leave the town as fast as you can and call for reinforcements!"

"En!"

"Send reinforcements!"

"Miss Su, is the marshal really planning to stay here alone?" Zhao Yiyang had been listening at the side for a long time without interrupting. Seeing Zhang San and Li Si leading their group back to the tunnel and continuing to dig, he walked up and asked.

"Yes!" Marshal told me to inform you all that once you leave, you must immediately return to the capital to see the dean! "

"Understood!"

Thus, everyone began to dig the tunnel methodically and efficiently, hoping to leave the town as soon as possible.
