548 Dream That Will Never Fade (1)
The torrential rain persisted, saturating the earth and beating relentlessly against the fortress walls.
As the teleportation array was located in an open area, the rain quickly washed away the blood on the ground.
From time to time, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. Wang Chen’s smoke clone was quickly repairing the array formation and adjusting its destination.
After all, this place had been infiltrated by the black-clothed guards, so even if the teleportation array was repaired, it would be hard to guarantee the safety of the intended destination.
!!
Hence, the safer way was to change the destination of the teleportation.
During the repair process, Kong Xianglong frequently looked in the direction of the Holy Wave Race’s borders with a gloomy expression.
“This place doesn’t seem like it was specially set up for me. It’s impossible for them to know my whereabouts. Moreover, if they were targeting me, they wouldn’t have sent so few people.”
“It’s more like they are stopping everyone who approaches the border. There shouldn’t be a problem with this teleportation array fortress.” Xu Qing spoke in a low voice from the side.
“The Holy Wave Race should be searching for the spy.” Shan He walked over and slowly said.
“Could it be that our route is the real one?” Night Spirit asked in surprise. After that, she instinctively looked around. This was because according to their previous analysis, there was a high chance that there would be experts secretly following the true rescue route.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Not necessarily. The performance of the Holy Wave Race has also exposed that they haven’t grasped our spy’s true route yet. Therefore, they should be searching the border areas of many provinces.”
Kong Xianglong’s eyes gleamed.
Xu Qing nodded inwardly.
For this mission, everyone understood that there was a high chance that they were just a diversion. The return of the spy who was hiding in the Holy Wave Race must be something similar to nine falsehoods and one truth.
This makes it difficult for the Holy Wave Race to accurately locate and kill him, and there are also spies of the Holy Wave Race in Fenghai County. Therefore, the movements of the Sword Sect to some extent represent the accurate route of the spy.
This was also the reason why the field office had sent many teams.
In fact, Xu Qing even felt that it was possible that all the support teams on the surface were smoke to confuse the Holy Wave Race. There might even be a secret team taking action.
In addition, it was also possible that the spy who had returned from the Holy Wave Race didn’t need any support.
This was a game of chess between the two sides.
However, through this matter, Xu Qing once again sensed the decline of the human race.
For example, although there were restrictions on the entry of Nascent Soul cultivators, the fact that so many Holy Wave Race cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm could come was enough to show that the defense line of Fenghai County was weak.
Everyone understood this.
Not long later, amidst a series of thunderous explosions, the teleportation array was repaired.
Regardless of whether the support this time was real or fake, the group had confirmed that they were going to continue forward. At this moment, they quickly stepped into the teleportation array and disappeared in the heavy rain.
When they reappeared, they were in a secluded valley at the boundary of the Lin Lan province.
“Stay vigilant. There should be quite a lot of infiltrators from the Holy Wave Race here. I’ll first investigate the hiding place of the spy we’re going to receive. I hope he’s still alive.”
The moment he walked out, Kong Xianglong spoke in a low voice. At the same time, he took out a compass.
There was a series of secret communication methods between the Sword Holders, and the usage was different for each mission. Only the person in charge of the mission knew.
For example, this compass was the special magic artifact assigned for this mission. It would guide them to the location of the spy.
Their mission was to find the other party and leave.
During the secret training, the Sword Holding Palace had imparted this knowledge to everyone.
Kong Xianglong performed a series of hand seals and pointed at the compass. Immediately, the needle on it spun rapidly. It didn’t simply point in a direction but transformed into an image.
There was a red dot on the screen that was some distance away from here. At that moment, it was flickering weakly.
Seeing the blinking red dot, everyone heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.
This meant that the other party was still alive.
Kong Xianglong’s spirits were also lifted as he began to make arrangements for everyone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe couldn’t be rash in receiving the spy. If he went over directly, it was very likely that the other party’s location would be exposed.
Therefore, the first thing he had to do was to attract the Holy Wave Race away and cleanse them at the same time. At the same time, he had to receive the spy. These three steps had to be carried out together.
Xu Qing’s task was to clean up this area as much as possible. He was cooperating with Night Spirit.
As for the team who would lure the Holy Wave Race, it consisted of Shan He, Wang Chen, and the others.
Kong Xianglong would go to receive the spy by himself.
Hearing Kong Xianglong’s arrangements, Xu Qing nodded. Their approach was conventional and a necessity. Hence, they quickly split into three parties.
Xu Qing’s body swayed and he fused into the night. He then began to search for the Holy Wave Race members in the surroundings.
It was the same for Night Spirit. The field office Sword Holders in their team also spread out.
Time flowed by. An hour later, as rumbling sounds echoed, fluctuations of spells rang out from afar.
Xu Qing lifted his head and looked over. That was the location of Shan He and Wang Chen. They were in charge of attracting the attention of the Holy Wave Race.
However, very soon, Xu Qing frowned.
This was because as he moved forward, he didn’t find any traces of the Holy Wave Race in this area. It was as though the other party didn’t exist. This didn’t match with their previous assessment that the other party was searching for the spy.
“Something’s wrong!” Xu Qing became even more vigilant.
Shan He and Wang Chen also discovered that something was amiss. Their baiting operation didn’t attract any members of the Holy Wave Race.
This bizarre scene caused everyone’s hearts to sink.
