Chapter 1457 - 1454: Informant Captured

Chapter 1457: Chapter 1454: Informant Captured

With a slight creak of Hu Fei’s room door, the two tiptoed out of the room.

After surveying the surroundings and finding nothing unusual, they quickly left. Being experts of the Celestial Dao Seven Stars, their movements were extremely agile, swiftly reaching the foot of the back mountain.

However, caution was necessary here. If discovered, their identities might be suspected or even exposed on the spot, which would have unimaginable consequences. But clearly, these soldiers were not their match. Passing by them unnoticed was certainly within their capability.

Since they were on Assassin Group’s grounds, the secret passages were well-hidden. The captain had only instructed them not to leave easily, so their vigilance was much reduced, with some even dozing off.

Seeing this scene, they were overjoyed, realizing an opportunity had come. They leaped up, sprinting directly across the mountainside, their movements swift and seamless.

In no time, they arrived at the entrance of the stone cave at the mountain top. Since it was nighttime, it was somewhat dark, but they had prepared and brought two small homemade military flame sticks.

Hu Fei led the way, and the two entered the cave one after another. Imitating Wu Guangzu’s actions during the day, they bent down to open the small stone door of the secret passage and began to crawl in.

As soon as Hu Fei entered, Feng Jie followed right behind him. At this moment, they immediately took out the homemade small torches they had prepared.

As the lid was opened with a "whoosh," the torches burst into flame.

Surprisingly, these little devices had a quite large illumination range, lighting up the surroundings within five or six meters. The two exchanged a subtle smile and continued forward.

Soon, they arrived at the place where Captain Wu Guangzu had led his team this morning and stopped. They were just about ten meters away from the cave leading outside, the thought of which thrilled them.

"Feng Jie, we’re about to get out. Haha, once we escape, we can send a message to the Young Master to attack up the mountain from here. The Assassin Group would be ours effortlessly."

Hu Fei, seeing the path ahead faintly glowing, was overjoyed.

"Yes, let’s get out quickly. No time to waste."

Feng Jie chuckled, wasting no time as he spoke.

Feng Jie nodded, and they started rushing towards the exit.

However, just as they hurriedly moved forward, they suddenly heard the sound of Lightweight Skill in action. Additionally, countless torches suddenly lit up from the dark stone areas on both sides. Looking closely, they found a row of archers.

"Just as I expected, you two are indeed Sabina insiders. Fortunately, I’ve been cautious, otherwise, this time, things would have been ruined by you two."

Wu Guangzu coldly chuckled as he spoke.

"Hmph, we never expected to fall into your trap. It’s all due to our momentary negligence."

Hu Fei knew there was no room for recovery. There was no way to explain it now, but on a second thought, he realized that this entrance was already invaluable information, so his task now was to escape.

The two exchanged a glance, drew the swords from their backs with a "swish" and started running towards the passage. Yet, as they just took a step, a shadow flickered past them, quickly followed by a fierce Sword Qi rushing towards them.

Startled, the two hurriedly dodged to the sides.

In the next moment, Tan Batian descended from above, followed by over a dozen Tiger and Wolf Warriors. Among them were Ru Nian and Ding Kong, forming a formidable lineup.

Hu Fei and Feng Jie realized that an iron wall lay ahead, making it unlikely to break through. They retreated a few steps, cautiously watching their surroundings.

Although they were initially experts of the Celestial Dao Seven Stars, they had no exceptional skills. Their strength was a result of Qi Gathering Pills collected by Kuang Chenggong and awarded through battle merits.

This power was somewhat superficial. Now, in front of them stood a real expert of the Celestial Dao Seven Stars, and over a dozen Celestial Dao Six Stars had formed a Sword Array, waiting for them to enter.

"You two better surrender quietly; otherwise, the only path is death. You know very well, with such a secret, I can’t let you go," Wu Guangzu coldly stated.

"Hmph, live as a Great Sabina, die as a Sabina ghost."

Saying this, Hu Fei and Feng Jie simultaneously thrust their swords at Wu Guangzu.

At this moment, Wu Guangzu frowned, not expecting these two to be so stubborn. He couldn’t help but feel that Kuang Chenggong was indeed exceptional at winning over people’s loyalty to work for him.

Despite his thoughts, Wu Guangzu didn’t linger, directly leaping into action. The initial six layers of the Godless Technique were trash, so he opted not to use them, instead directly employing the seventh layer, the Godless Overlord Blade.

"Boom...."

Accompanied by the sharpness of the Blood Shadow Saber slicing through iron like mud, the two were frozen mid-air. A bloody path painted the sky red as they fell to the ground with a thud.

Wu Guangzu felt a pang of regret, but he knew that showing mercy to the enemy was cruelty to oneself. At this moment, though wounded, these two were still soldiers, possessing unyielding willpower. They exchanged a glance and struggled to stand up.

"Ah...."

"Kill...."

The two of them, like madmen, rushed towards Wu Guangzu, thinking of perishing together with him.

"Swish, swish, swish...."

After a shower of arrows, Hu Fei and Feng Jie were covered in arrow wounds, their bodies full of steel arrows, like porcupines. Before long, they crashed to the ground, dead beyond dead.

Wu Guangzu breathed a sigh of relief. These two could be considered brave, but at the same time, he was very worried. He was concerned about why everyone around Kuang Chenggong was so loyal and formidable, which invisibly added a lot of pressure to the Huaxia army.

"Ru Nian, you take a team back to the courtyard quickly and capture their other six accomplices." Wu Guangzu suddenly remembered that Hu Fei had brought six people, and hurriedly said.

"Yes! Third Senior Brother."

Ru Nian led a team and set off first.

After Wu Guangzu ordered his men to tidy up the corpses of these two, he and Tan Batian began to walk back. After this battle, Wu Guangzu finally felt the pressure. He knew that the people around Kuang Chenggong were really too powerful, each one of his subordinates was casually a Celestial Dao Seven Star.

And now his own strength was only at the pinnacle of Celestial Dao Seven Star.

If it weren’t for the fact that these two’s strength was acquired through consumption, and he had a Divine Artifact in hand, the result would have been different.

Moreover, Kuang Chenggong’s strategy was quite formidable. Fortunately, this time he was vigilant, and thanks to Gu Yuxin’s confirmation, otherwise they wouldn’t have caught any evidence against them.

Thinking of this, Wu Guangzu decided that in the coming period, he needed to go into seclusion to cultivate the Godless Technique.

Back at the Assassin Group’s courtyard, Hu Fei’s accomplices had already been caught, but in the end, they all bit their tongues and committed suicide. It was evident that the discipline of the Sabina People’s army was extremely strict; they would rather die than reveal military secrets.

Thus, Wu Guangzu spent a day formulating strict military discipline and rigorous training. Otherwise, one day they would surely perish here. After explaining everything, Wu Guangzu hurried to the cave for a half-month of secluded cultivation.

The seventh level of the Godless Technique had just been completed not long ago; this time, he needed to concentrate and break through in one go. Although Wu Guangzu knew it would be difficult, how would he know it was impossible without trying?

Entering the cave, Wu Guangzu closed the stone door, sat cross-legged, and gently closed his eyes, beginning to recall the Heart Method Mantra of the Godless Technique.

He had practiced the Heart Method Mantra of the seventh level countless times in his mind, but every time he wanted to break through, he felt something was missing. For a while, he couldn’t find the reason.

Wu Guangzu felt that as long as he constantly tried to break through, success would come one day. It was this belief that supported him: Breakthrough! Breakthrough! Breakthrough!

Only by breaking through could he protect the Assassin Group.

Thinking of this, Wu Guangzu began to train diligently, day and night. He knew that the peace of the Assassin Group wouldn’t last long. If he couldn’t complete his cultivation before Kuang Chenggong arrived, how could he fight Kuang Chenggong with his current strength?

Forget about how strong the great army was; as a leader, if you were suppressed by another leader, your army would constantly worry about your safety, fearing that the enemy might take your head single-handedly.

This kind of thing often happened during the Three Kingdoms Period, so Wu Guangzu felt that he must first strengthen himself to give his warriors greater courage to face the enemy, stabilizing the morale of the army.

Wu Guangzu calmed his mind and began to enter a fervent state of cultivation.

At this time, on the road to the Assassin Group, Chen Tianlong and Wang Meng led their brothers forward quickly, estimating another day and night would see them reach the Assassin Group.

That night, they stayed at a hotel, while other warriors found ways to hide in various places. As soon as Wang Meng gave an order, they would arrive in a short time.

At this moment, only Wang Meng, Chen Tianlong, and Wu Mengting sat at a dining table in the hotel. After traveling for so long, the three were a bit hungry. So, they planned to order some dishes to eat first.

"Boss, bring us a few dishes to fill us up." Wang Meng was always straightforward, even when in plain clothes.

"Alright, esteemed guest, please wait a moment; I’ll get the menu." The boss said politely.

"Hey, no need for a menu, just fry up some of your best dishes. We’re not picky." Wang Meng, never one to be picky in the army, spoke quite candidly.

Chen Tianlong chuckled softly, suddenly said, "Also, fry up a couple of lighter dishes."

He ordered them for Wu Mengting, as Mengting usually didn’t like heavy dishes, her favorite being stir-fried greens. Upon hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, she was immediately moved, knowing they were ordered for her.

So, Wu Mengting gave Chen Tianlong a sweet smile, full of gratitude.

Wang Meng paused, immediately realizing he had forgotten there was a girl present and had taken the liberty. He said a bit embarrassedly, "Brother Chen Tianlong, I’m used to army life, sorry for not considering Miss Leng."

"Hehe, it’s okay, I’m not picky either." Wu Mengting said quickly.

"Is that so, then that’s good. Sorry for the offense, please forgive me."

Wang Meng was an honest and straightforward person; he always spoke frankly, which left a good impression on Chen Tianlong.

Ancient Celestial Dragon trusted him this time, lending him five thousand troops, and he should be content with that. And these five thousand soldiers mostly listened to Wang Meng, so Chen Tianlong couldn’t be too proud, lest he offend Wang Meng and hurt their rapport.
