Su Lai was overjoyed, but then he thought about it, and the surprise on his face disappeared, replaced by dejection. "Forget it, I know my own abilities, and besides, I..."
As he spoke, Su Lai subconsciously glanced at the sleeve of his left hand.
Seeing Su's demeanor, Yu Daochen smiled and whispered, "Old Su, if you think about it this way..."
Yu Daochen's words stopped abruptly, and his expression changed instantly.
Dahu and Su Lai both noticed Yu Daochen's sudden change in expression and reached for the weapons at their waists.
"Master Yu, what's wrong?"
Su Lai subconsciously asked.
Yu Daochen did not speak, but carefully sensed his surroundings.
It seemed he had discovered something.
Li Wangsheng also noticed Yu Daochen's expression and asked in confusion, "Master Yu, what's wrong?"
Seeing Li Wangsheng's bewildered look, Yu Daochen said sternly, "Patriarch Li, do you have any other helpers who haven't arrived yet?"
Li Wangsheng's face turned slightly pale, but he answered truthfully, "Yes, I had notified the Supernatural Affairs Bureau, but I later ordered them to cancel."
Hearing this, Yu Daochen's expression immediately turned grim.
No!
Who is this person?
Nanjing Shuo? Or Meng Dalong?
Neither, their aura wouldn't be this strong!
Li Wangsheng asked, "Master Yu, what's happening?"
"There's a powerful aura nearby."
After speaking, Yu Daochen carefully tried to discern if he had encountered this aura before.
As soon as he said this, Li Wangsheng and several elders became tense.
Li Wangsheng suddenly shouted, "Quick, the entire clan, enter combat readiness!"
As soon as the words fell, a huge rock suddenly flew towards the main hall.
The rock was so large it could have flattened the entire hall.
Yu Daochen, with quick eyes and hands, sprang up and, as he rushed out, raised his palm, condensing his Tian Gan Palm, and struck the incoming rock squarely.
Bang!
The rock instantly shattered.
Just then, a palm suddenly struck.
Seeing the incoming palm, Yu Daochen did not flinch and met it head-on with his own palm.
Bang!
With the clash of their palms, the figure instantly retreated.
Yu Daochen was also forced back two steps by the terrifying palm strike.
As the shattered stones fell, kicking up dust, the person's appearance could not be seen.
At the same time, the people inside the hall rushed out, looking at the scene before them with expressions of horror.
But before they could react, they heard a roar of killing from outside the main gate.
"Kill... Kill... Kill!!"
The killing intent outside the main gate was deafening, as if a thousand troops were present.
Everyone looked and was filled with astonishment.
They wore black cloaks, and each had a mask on their face.
Most importantly, each of them had an eye pattern on their forehead.
"It's people from the Divine Cult!"
An elder suddenly shouted.
Li Wangsheng immediately ordered the arriving clansmen, "Block the gate, and the rest immediately set up the formation!"
As soon as the words fell, the clansmen began to act.
"Yes!"
The apostles of the Divine Cult charged through the gate, cutting down anyone they saw.
For a time, the two sides engaged in a chaotic melee.
Su Lai, Li Wangsheng, and others also joined the fight.
The number of Divine Cult apostles was overwhelming, and Su Lai and the others could only hold the entrance for the time being.
Yu Daochen charged forward unimpeded, drawing his Kang Long Mace and fighting his way to the gate, blocking the apostles attempting to enter.
Meanwhile, Su Lai and Li Wangsheng were clearing out the apostles who had already broken through.
While felling the charging apostles, Li Wangsheng shouted to a clansman, "Quick, take a few people to protect the young lady."
The clansmen nodded and were about to leave the battlefield, but their path was blocked by the apostles who had broken in.
Seeing this, Su Lai struck out with his staff, repelling a clansman, and said anxiously, "I'll go protect the young lady."
Hearing this, Dahu rushed to Su Lai's side to clear a path for him.
At the main entrance.
Yu Daochen swung his mace, continuously striking at the approaching apostles.
The number of Divine Cult apostles was simply too great. Although Yu Daochen blocked them all outside the gate, he couldn't disengage himself.
In the midst of the battle, a disciple rushed over and shouted to Li Wangsheng, "Patriarch, the formation is ready."
As soon as the words fell, the disciple's throat was slit by a nearby Divine Cult apostle, and he died on the spot.
Seeing this, Li Wangsheng was furious but had no time to think further. He shouted to Yu Daochen, who was blocking the gate, "Master Yu, quickly come in!"
Hearing this, Yu Daochen pushed off the ground and retreated inside. Then, he formed a hand seal, took a deep breath, and spewed out a torrent of flames.
The flames instantly repelled the attacking apostles.
For a moment, flames filled the area outside the gate.
Whoosh!
Just as Yu Daochen retracted his move, a blue barrier instantly rose, blocking the apostles who were trying to force their way in.
At the same time, the Divine Cult apostles inside the gate were completely eliminated by Li Wangsheng and the others.
"No!!"
Yu Daochen's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he prepared to rush out.
His daughter was still in the car!
Just as Yu Daochen was about to ask Li Wangsheng to close the formation and go out, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"Daddy, I'm fine."
Yu Daochen turned his head and saw that the little girl had somehow appeared inside the gate.
Seeing that Yu Yijun was safe, Yu Daochen's pounding heart finally calmed down.
Li Wangsheng and the others looked at Yu Yijun, who had appeared from nowhere, with expressions of astonishment.
They knew that this little girl was Yu Daochen's beloved daughter, but where had she come from?
They hadn't seen the little girl enter through the main gate earlier.
Yu Daochen walked over and hugged Yu Yijun, his face filled with emotion, "You scared your daddy to death, I'm glad you're okay."
Yu Daochen held her tightly, his face full of relief, "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay."
At that moment.
Yu Daochen was truly panicked.
More than he had ever been.
Afraid of losing his daughter!
Yu Yijun, hugged so tightly by Yu Daochen, could barely breathe. She pouted and said, "Daddy, you're hugging me too tight."
Hearing this, Yu Daochen finally let go and kissed Yu Yijun's little face.
Yu Yijun giggled, her small face beaming, and said playfully, "Daddy, were you very panicked just now?"
Yu Daochen coughed dryly and turned his head, saying, "How could I be? You are Yu Daochen's daughter, how could these opponents be a match for you?"
Yu Yijun didn't believe him and saw through his pretense, saying, "Impossible, I saw how panicked you looked just now."
Yu Daochen sighed and admitted, "I am your father, how could I not worry about you?"
However, speaking of which, his daughter's current strength was something even he couldn't see through.
With the strength of those apostles outside, it was impossible for them to harm her.
But even so, Yu Daochen was still extremely worried.
What father in the world wouldn't worry about his daughter?
Looking at the fallen members of the Divine Cult and the Li clan lying in pools of blood, Li Wangsheng's face was filled with sorrow.
In the short battle just now, more than a dozen clansmen had died.
