Chapter 1240 Battle of Laojun Mountain
No one expected that An Tianzuo would be so tough.
Everyone knows that Smith and his men are just pawns sent by the Guardian Alliance to test the waters. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are cannon fodder. Moving them will not have any impact on the Guardian Alliance, but if this is done, the An family will be convicted of treason against the Federation.
This was obviously a loss-making situation, but An Tianzuo captured everyone without hesitation. Those who tried to escape were even shot on the spot, and even the spies of the major families were not spared.
Then the entire Luoyang was blocked, and no outsider who came to Luoyang could escape. All of Luoyang’s information networks were also cut off in a short period of time.
For a time, Luoyang became a blind spot, and no one knew what was happening in Luoyang.
Originally, many people were still doubting whether An Tianzuo had really caught the Thief King. After all, the news was too sudden, but now many people have realized it.
An Tianzuo's actions most likely mean that he has really caught the Thief Saint and is trying to escape.
If An Tianzuo had not obtained the disaster-level companion egg, how could he have risked the world's condemnation, been willing to bear the name of treason, and become an enemy of the entire federation?
This is tantamount to putting oneself to death, leaving no room for maneuver. Not only will the An family not gain any benefit from it, but they will also be targeted by the entire federation, and may even face the disaster of genocide.
This is simply playing with your own life. No one would be so stupid.
The only reasonable explanation is that An Tianzuo really got the disaster-level companion egg, so he would burn his boats and wait for the companion egg to hatch, so that he can return as a king. By then, no one can do anything to him, and he may even rule the world.
The hermit in charge of this matter immediately thought of this possibility and quietly ran to Luoyang to check the truth. He found that the An family had already been deserted, and only some civilians and people from Sunset Academy were left in Luoyang.
Because of the hasty departure, many troops of the Sunset Army did not have time to be transferred, and officers like Qin Wufu had disappeared. Even the Yuan Gold Mine was no longer in charge. With no leader, the whole of Luoyang was in chaos.
"Damn, it's actually true." Seeing this situation, the hermit could never have imagined that An Tianzuo really got the disaster-level companion egg and had already run away.
"We must find him as soon as possible." The hermit knew that it would be useless even if he caught up with An Tianzuo by himself.
Not to mention that An Tianzuo himself is one of the four great war gods of the new era, with unfathomable strength. Coupled with the many strong men in the Sunset Army and someone like Zhou Wen, it would be useless even if he caught up with An Tianzuo.
The hermit immediately contacted the Guardian Alliance's headquarters, but unfortunately, Xian was not at the headquarters. Now the Guardian Alliance was under the charge of Dongshi.
"Dongshi, the possibility of An Tianzuo getting the dragon turtle's companion egg is very high. We still have time to chase him now. If we delay any longer, it may be too late." The hermit's meaning was very clear. He needed support.
Dongshi frowned upon hearing this and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I need your help and the Blood Witch's help," said the hermit.
"Since Xian is not here, I have to stay at the headquarters and cannot leave. Xue Wu and Uesugi are in charge of the construction of the Tower of Babel and cannot be free either." Dongshi said.
"It's fine to leave the Tower of Babel to Shangshan, but the Blood Witch must go. Zhou Wen has too many companion pets, plus An Tianzuo and the Sunset Army. Only the Blood Witch can restrain them."
The hermit paused, then continued, "A natural disaster-grade companion egg—an opportunity like this won't come around again. Even if we don't snatch it, the six major families won't let it go. If they get it, you know the consequences better than I do. Even if the six major families fail, will An Tianzuo let us go after he hatches a natural disaster-grade companion pet?"
"Okay, I can let the Blood Witch help you." The temptation of the disaster-level companion pet was too great, and Dongshi finally gave in.
"I also need to transfer a group of elites from the alliance, especially those who are good at tracking and reconnaissance. We must find An Tianzuo as soon as possible." said the hermit.
"This time we can only succeed and not fail." Dongshi said in a deep voice.
"Just in case, I hope you can leave a time mark with the Blood Witch. It would be best if it is not used. In case of need, I would also like to ask for your help. This time I must successfully obtain the Dragon Turtle Companion Egg." The hermit still made the worst plan.
An Tianzuo's name is too famous. The Federation is so big and there are so many families. There are very few people who can truly achieve An Tianzuo's level and even compete with the six major families.
If Leng Zongzhen from Sunset Academy had not escaped with An Tianzuo, even with so much support, the hermit would not dare to guarantee that he would be able to get the dragon turtle companion egg back.
Dongshi knew that this operation was of great significance and did not dare to be careless. As the hermit said, she left a time mark on the blood witch so that she could reach the blood witch at any time if necessary.
Many elite backbones of the alliance were gathered together. Under the leadership of the Blood Witch, they used the transmission channel established within the alliance and quickly arrived near Luoyang to meet the hermit.
After the Blood Witch met the Hermit, he immediately began to track the whereabouts of An Tianzuo and others.
Many guardians with special abilities quickly found clues that were originally impossible to exist, and the group chased after them without stopping.
"Master Hermit, I am sure you are right. An Tianzuo and the others should have fled towards Laojun Mountain." A guardian said after carefully observing the surroundings.
"An Tianzuo is indeed cunning. Even if we chase him to Laojun Mountain, there is a forbidden power there and we cannot use force to kill him. It will not be easy to capture him." said the Blood Witch.
The hermit sneered and said, "That may not be the case. The forbidden power of Laojun Mountain is indeed terrifying, but we don't need to kill any living creatures there."
Led by the hermit, the group came to Laojun Mountain.
"It seems that An Tianzuo has done too much to hide his whereabouts, and the people from the six major families have not caught up with us yet." The Blood Witch looked around Laojun Mountain and did not find anyone from other families.
"Are you sure they are on the mountain?" the hermit asked, glancing at the guardian next to him.
"There's no doubt about it, they must be on the mountain. Even though they have erased their breath and cut off all traces, they can't hide from my senses. They have been here." The guardian said with certainty.
"Go up the mountain." The hermit was still very confident in the ability of this guardian, and immediately led him up the mountain. Soon they arrived in front of the monument without words.
Not seeing anyone here, everyone continued to walk up the mountain. When they were almost at the Golden Summit, they finally saw a lot of people gathered on the nearby stone steps and platforms. They were An Tianzuo and his group, including Smith and the spies from the major families who had disappeared before.
