Zuan had just secretly observed that the person speaking to the Stone Cult Leader was a middle-aged man. The person who had been standing in the main hall earlier should be the Left Guardian of the Ming Cult, whose surname seemed to be Yi or something like that.
The Left Envoy of Light is practically second only to the leader, so it's understandable that the leader personally brought him to this forbidden area.
But who is the other person?
The Stone Cult Leader and the Left Envoy were equally shocked: "Who!"
Soon, several figures walked in.
Zaun couldn't help but glance at Isabella, because the Persians who had brought her in were the very ones who had come in.
Isabella was equally surprised. She could explain her visit here as her search for "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth," so what were these people after?
You should know that she has now been assigned to the Ming Cult. No matter what these Persians are planning to do, whether they succeed or not, their presence in the Ming Cult's forbidden area will make things very difficult for her in the future.
"King Baoshu, the Three Envoys of Fengyun, how did you get in here?" The Stone Cult Leader's eyes were gloomy. If it weren't for the Cult Leader's special permission, the others who entered this secret passage would be dead for sure.
Zu An secretly glanced at the group of people. The three envoys of Fengyun had sinister eyes, and the woman's face was covered by a veil. She was much more voluptuous than the women of the Central Plains.
He pondered to himself that these people should not be the Three Envoys of Wind and Cloud recorded in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". Their ages did not match. It seemed that the Three Envoys had always been a combination of two men and one woman.
"If we hadn't come in, how would we have heard about your plot to harm us?" the bearded man in the lead sneered in broken Chinese.
The Left Envoy flew into a rage: "Anyone who trespasses into the forbidden area shall die! Don't you know that?"
The three envoys of the Wind and Cloud Sect, who had been observing from the sidelines, suddenly made their move. The Left Envoy was a top expert in the Ming Cult; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold that position.
Seeing the three attack, he hurriedly defended himself, but the three envoys' martial arts were extremely strange, completely different from what he had seen before. In addition, the three were good at combined attacks. One swept his leg, one grabbed his hand, and one attacked the pressure points all over his body. He was subdued before he even had a chance to react.
This turn of events happened so quickly that even the Stone Cult Leader couldn't react in time.
The Left Envoy was filled with shame, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground. He had always considered himself extraordinary, believing that he was the most skilled in martial arts in the entire sect, second only to the sect leader. He never expected to be defeated in a single exchange.
The opponent used some unknown method, sending wisps of icy true energy into his acupoints, causing him excruciating pain and rendering his true energy unable to circulate.
Zu An could see clearly that the martial arts of the Three Envoys of Wind and Cloud were indeed very strange. If their martial arts were not significantly superior to his, they would easily be killed upon first meeting.
Master Shi's expression was equally grave, clearly shocked by the martial arts of the Three Envoys of Wind and Cloud: "What do you mean?"
The bearded King Baoshu laughed heartily: "Master Shi, we are doing this to protect ourselves, lest you unite and kill us. You don't need to worry about the safety of the Left Envoy. As long as you agree to submit to the Mongols, you will still be my superior in the future. How could I dare to offend you?"
Master Shi's face darkened: "I have already made this very clear before, so I cannot comply."
“That would be difficult.” The bearded Treasure Tree King shook his head. “Originally, someone from the main sect suggested taking it slow and letting the Holy Maiden search for the ‘Great Shift of Heaven and Earth’ at her own pace. But now it seems that we can accomplish everything in one fell swoop.”
Zaun and Isabella exchanged a glance. It seemed there were also disagreements within the Persian Ming Cult, and this Treasure Tree King most likely supported the other Holy Maidens. This move was clearly intended to sabotage Isabella's mission.
Master Shi snorted coldly: "You really do have ulterior motives. I only regret that I didn't make a move sooner."
While quietly moving away, he secretly regretted his actions. The Ming Cult was his home turf. No matter how high these people's martial arts skills were, if everyone rushed at them, they would have no chance to escape.
But in this forbidden area, other believers cannot even step into it. If you die here, no one will probably find out even if you die for a hundred or two hundred years.
The Persians had clearly guessed his intentions, and the three envoys of the wind and clouds positioned themselves at various angles to block his path.
"Master Shi, whose power shakes the world, is he planning to run away?" The bearded Treasure Tree King's tone was tinged with sarcasm.
The Stone Cult Leader snorted coldly and suddenly attacked the woman. He had seen through the combined attack technique of the Three Envoys of Wind and Cloud, so he planned to attack the weakest one, the Radiant Moon Envoy. If he could take down one of them in a short time, he could break their formation.
The Moonlit Envoy, however, was prepared. While dodging the opponent's attacks with unpredictable movements, he taunted, "Tsk tsk tsk, so Master Shi has taken a liking to me? But Master, are you still up to your age?"
The sect leader's face turned ashen, and his attacks became increasingly ruthless. She quickly lost her patience for mockery, and her expression turned serious.
The other two, the Cloud Envoy and the Wind Envoy, rushed to the rescue. The three had been fighting together for a long time and were already of one mind. Their martial arts were truly eerie.
Despite fighting three opponents alone, Master Shi held his own.
"Huh, is this the legendary Qiankun Great Shift? It's truly unpredictable." The three envoys, Feng, Yun, and Yue, gradually realized that their power was being diverted to attack their companions. In other words, they hadn't actually used up much of the opponent's strength; instead, it was a three-way internal battle between the three of them.
Master Shi snorted. The martial arts of these three were too strange. They could dodge from some unbelievable angles every time, causing his attacks that he was sure to win to miss several times. Thinking that there was also the covetous Treasure Tree King next to him, he couldn't help but become more and more impatient.
Zu An watched for a while and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. This Stone Cult Leader was now in dire straits, but the most skillful martial art he used was only the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth. Although his other martial arts were not weak, they could not be considered the top martial arts of this world.
