Chapter 462: Chapter 461: Surrounded Right After Coming Out
In response to the proposal that people should be sent to the Divine Continent to capture Yang Fei’s relatives and use them as hostages to force Yang Fei out, most of the powers from the Hidden Sect World agreed, but there was also considerable opposition.
For example, the Duanmu Family.
Duanmu Yun and Duanmu Hai had killed Yang Fei’s second uncle, which had enraged Yang Fei. In his fury, Yang Fei snuck into the Hidden Sect World, wreaking havoc in Duanmu Manor, even injuring Duanmu Wugou in a backlash. The formidable power displayed by this youth made many harbor feelings of unease.
If his relatives were abducted, and if the young man did not succumb to the threats and decided not to show up, targeting the Eight Great Forces one by one, then with his strength, many members of the Eight Great Forces could lose their lives.
The killer is also killed.
The methods you use against him, he can use the same methods to counter you.
Of course, although the naysayers were many, the supporters were more numerous.
Being high regarders of cultivation since ancient times, the Hidden Sect World has always held itself in high esteem and feels a mysterious superiority over the mundane citizens of the Divine Continent.
Now, a youngster from the outside world dared to barge into Duanmu Manor and display his might, establishing a formidable reputation. How could the proud young prodigies of the Hidden Sect World feel satisfied?
Moreover, capturing this youth might also yield the Taoist cultivation techniques?
Fame and profit, whether in the Mortal World or the Cultivation World, are the roots of all evil.
Thus, in less than three days, a team of more than twenty young elites from various forces had assembled. They made a grand appearance at the exit leading to the Mortal World.
Since Yang Fei’s upheaval in Duanmu Manor, many stronger guards had been stationed at the exit, including several Divine Travel Realm elders.
Confronting this team wanting to leave the Hidden Sect, each of the Divine Travel Realm elders checked their identities thoroughly, to prevent Yang Fei from muddling through the waters and escaping with the team.
"The Hidden Sect has long had an agreement with the Mortal World, that those from the Hidden Sect should not interfere with mortal affairs. After you go out, you must restrain yourselves strictly, abide by the agreement, and not stir up conflicts between the two realms,"
said an elder with white hair and beard, his gaze piercing as it swept over everyone’s faces. He spoke in a cold voice, "Should anyone use their martial might to violate this prohibition and bully others in the Mortal World, thus disturbing the social order, no matter which sect or aristocratic family they hail from, I myself will suppress them personally."
These proud young ones from the Hidden Sect World, standing as the favored of the skies, all felt their hearts tremble under the stern gaze of the elder.
Having joined the team to capture Yang Fei’s friends and family and use them to threaten him, they were certainly not of benevolent nature, and many were also tempted by the bustling, prosperous world outside, thinking to indulge in its pleasures while seizing the opportunity. However, they hadn’t expected such a stern warning from the elder.
"Senior, rest assured, we are only here to force Yang Fei out. Even if we do capture his relatives, we won’t harm them," quickly said a youngster from the Duanmu Family.
After Yang Fei entered the Hidden Sect, the Duanmu Family had suffered the greatest losses, and Yang Fei’s successful escape from Duanmu Manor becoming the Duanmu Family’s shame; hence, they were most enthusiastic about this mission.
Besides them, the Zhuge family and the Langya Wang Family also showed great eagerness
The Zhuge family claimed that Zhuge Hong and Zhuge Wei had died at Yang Fei’s hands, and there could be no peace until the vengeance was settled.
The Langya Wang Family stated that Yang Fei had infiltrated the Hidden Sect World by following Wang Lei, so the Wang Family had to take partial responsibility for this matter. They also expressed a desire to investigate Wang Lei’s affairs in the outside world, seeking to capture this castaway, swept out ten years ago.
Seeing these young people pledge earnestly, appearing very obedient, the Divine Travel Realm elder nodded silently, yet his heart carried a trace of worry.
They were all scions of great aristocratic families, spoiled and pampered; once they were in the outside world, keeping them from causing trouble was impossible.
He could only hope that his words might make them restrain themselves somewhat and not cause a major catastrophe.
With the gate open, these individuals leaped into the portal one by one, heading to the outside world.
Once they had all departed, the elder who had issued the warning spoke in a grave voice, "Thus, with frequent contacts between the two worlds, sooner or later, it might provoke dissatisfaction from the outside world and lead to the tearing up of the agreement."
There were three Divine Travel Realm powerhouses stationed there; the other two displayed proud expressions, one of the bearded elders speaking disdainfully, "Even if given a thousand more guts, they wouldn’t dare to tear up the agreement."
"Indeed, if not for our secret protection, the Divine Continent would have collapsed long ago; where would today come from?" another elder clad in a kasaya added arrogantly.
The two spoke with pride and arrogance, carrying an air of superiority.
The elder previously mentioned was named Mo Li, the only Divine Travel Realm powerhouse in the Mo Family today. Compared to the Eight Great Forces, the Mo Family was just a second-tier family within the Hidden Sect.
Seeing their demeanor, Mo Li silently sighed and spoke no more.
Although the Hidden Sect World was highly autonomous and completely independent, it still fell within the rules of Earth Space. The existence of the Hidden Sects heavily depended on the divine ley lines of the Divine Continent, both being interdependent.
If they truly angered the outside world and violated agreements, could the Hidden Sects really rest easy?
Do you really think that the millennium calamity happened a hundred years ago?
...
Deep within Death Valley.
In less than an hour, a modern temporary command center was erected.
Dressed in military attire, Mo Yinpeng was busily working at a computer.
After watching her for a while, Qin Yanyang walked over and reported, "Chief, all preparations are complete. Awaiting your orders."
Qin Yanyang patted her shoulder, his gaze resolute, and said, "If no one comes out within an hour, then launch ten shells at the coordinates I provided. If there’s no news in a day, launch twenty, and so on."
Mo Yinpeng’s heart chilled, and she said with concern, "What if... what if the location can’t withstand such bombardment? Wouldn’t you also..."
Qin Yanyang waved his hand and responded, "Just follow the orders. Nothing else concerns you."
"Yes," Mo Yinpeng immediately replied.
Stepping out of the command center, thirty elite operatives from the Military Department, well-equipped, awaited orders.
"This operation is extremely perilous, likely a nine-in-ten chance of death. Are you afraid?" Qin Yanyang’s gaze swept across the familiar faces as he asked.
"Ready at all times!"
Qin Yanyang nodded in satisfaction, about to issue the departure order, when he suddenly narrowed his eyes and sharply turned his head towards the entrance of the passage.
There, where the wind was already howling fiercely, under the chaotic spatial rules, spatial turbulence ran rampant.
At that moment, it intensified even more.
The other members of the Military Department also sensed something was amiss and looked in that direction.
Above them, about eighty feet in the air, figures began to appear out of nowhere, seeming to traverse parallel dimensions and joining the scene.
"Divine beings are forbidden in the land of the Divine Continent, encircle them!"
Qin Yanyang’s heart chilled. He made a decisive decision and issued the command.
The thirty elite operatives of the Military Department, highly efficient in execution, quickly formed up following Qin Yanyang’s orders, encircling the group of ’heaven-descended’ outsiders.
At the same time, dozens of members from the accompanying stationed troop, fully armed, also moved in with their weapons, quickly joining to form a second encirclement, trapping the group from the Hidden Sect World in the middle.
Zhuge Qingcheng was the first to jump out from the portal. While he was still in the void, he heard a clear, stern female voice enter his ears: "Divine beings are forbidden in the land of the Divine Continent, encircle them."
He was a bit stunned.
In the biting wind, he opened his eyes and saw dozens of figures moving swiftly to form an encirclement around the exit.
What’s going on?
They were surrounded just after coming out?
Could there be a traitor in our team who leaked our movements in advance?
