As the saying goes, even the wisest man can make mistakes.

No matter how powerful a master is, there will inevitably be omissions in actual combat.

Even for Xu Yang, the strongest among the Ninth Emperor's clan, it is difficult to be perfect in everything.

After all, this group of enemies are shadows who have been hiding in the dark for a long time. Xu Yang has no idea what kind of backup plans they have. Moreover, every inch of land in this imperial capital has become someone else's home ground.

In fact, the sudden appearance of this group of people at this location to block the progress of Xu Yang's team was also premeditated.

When Xu Yang smashed the body of the golden-robed believer with one palm, the scepter in his hand finally came in handy at this moment.

He threw the scepter ten meters away. After it landed on the ground, it was immediately attached to the ground. At the same time, the scepter itself exuded an extremely pure essence of martial arts power. The accumulated light curtain directly isolated Xu Yang, Lan Ling'er and Nangong, who had regained consciousness, on this side of the battlefield.

On the other side, Dawn Dragon Kun, the Ancient Snake and others did not have the strong mental support of Xu Yang. It was not so easy for them to break free from the dream after entering it. Now they were all immersed in the dream battlefield and continued to fight.

However, with the appearance of this light curtain, Xu Yang and the other two had no choice but to help the other teammates break free from the dream immediately, which gave the silver-robed disciples who created the dream a chance to take action by force.

"Hahaha, Xu Yang!

Using one person to buy back the freedom of so many of your teammates, my life is definitely a huge gain."

The golden-robed believer's body was shattered by Xu Yang, but his damaged soul origin just perfectly triggered the martial arts power accumulated in the scepter, creating more time for his silver-robed disciples to take action.

Xu Yang's movements were fast enough. Almost at the same time as the light curtain was formed, his power had already caught up. With a loud crack, the light curtain shattered instantly, and the scepter that released this power was crushed into nothingness by Xu Yang.

However, when this isolating force disappeared, Long Kun and his companions had completely disappeared, along with them, the silver-robed disciples who had woven the dream battlefield for them.

Originally, their strength was not enough to completely escape Xu Yang's detection range within a few seconds, but this place had already been secretly equipped with a teleportation array.

This is basically a complete game, with each link interconnected.

Even someone as powerful as Xu Yang couldn't possibly foresee the details of every trap they set in advance.

"It's outrageous. We were so careful but we still fell into their trap. It's really hard to guard against."

Lan Linger was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet. Now there was no doubt that she was bound to Xu Yang and his team. After all, she also needed to rely on Xu Yang's strength to rescue the several elders of Changyun Tianzong who were controlled by these disciples.

Nangong sighed with a guilty look on his face and turned his gaze back to Xu Yang.

"I'm so sorry, Master Xu Yang. Not only have we failed to help you, but we've hindered you."

Xu Yang smiled and shook his head.

"Honestly speaking, you don't need to feel any remorse at all, because in this game of chess.

Everyone is playing the role of a chess piece.

No one can interfere with the progress of the whole situation.

As long as the real body of the priest hiding in the deepest part of the palace does not show up, we will always be in the trap set by him."

Hearing what Xu Yang said, Lan Ling'er immediately lost her temper.

"Is it possible that we really have no way out and can only be led by the nose by that damned high priest?"

Xu Yang burst out laughing.

“You, little girl, really have the impatient temper of a big lady.

The situation was set up by the priest.

But even if you are just a chess piece, each of you has the right to control your own behavior and fight against those so-called planners.

Remember my words, your destiny is always in your own hands.

Unless you choose to succumb to fate at the moment before reaching the other side of victory.

In my opinion, those guys hiding behind the scenes have only two purposes. One is to capture the old emperor, the most important bargaining chip.

The second is to take advantage of this opportunity to find ways to get rid of me, which will help them with their subsequent plans and save them a lot of trouble.

Until they achieve these two goals, all the hostages in their hands will not lose their lives easily.

If anyone in my team loses their life at their hands, I will not hesitate to overthrow the entire imperial capital.

Compared to such an out-of-control situation, those guys who think they are smart will never cut off their own retreat unless it is absolutely necessary.

For some reason, after hearing Xu Yang say this, Nangong and Lan Ling'er felt more confident.

At least what Xu Yang said just now is enough to prove that this guy is far from showing his true strength, and he also has enough capital to confront those so-called behind-the-scenes planners head-on.

In short, this thigh is still very thick when you hug it.

Now that they are already in Xu Yang's car, Lan Linger and Nangong have no choice but to continue to rely on Xu Yang's power.

But no matter what, as the number one sect under the empire, their Changyun Tianzong owed Xu Yang this favor, which they had no way of repaying in a short period of time.

Seeing that all her teammates had disappeared, Lan Ling'er came to Xu Yang with her head down and spread her hands with a resigned look on her face.

“We know you are strong enough, but in the current situation, they are in the dark and we are in the light, and now we have lost a few of them for no reason.

What should we do next?

We don’t even know where those people are hiding now.”

Xu Yang did not show an expression of blind obedience. He still looked confident. Without saying a word, he directly poked his finger at the powerful mental power in his heart. In an instant, it was like a big net with a winged palm covering the entire imperial capital, and it quickly spread to the surroundings with Xu Yang's body as the core.

"Soul, run wild!"

Xu Yang let out a muffled shout.

Two crisscrossing materialized spiritual forces quickly condensed in the dark night and swam rapidly towards the surrounding space like two swimming dragons.

Soon Xu Yang captured the aura of the powerful disciples of the dark forces lingering in the air.

"Oh my god, this is actually possible. Those people have disappeared without a trace. How did you manage to capture their traces?"

Such an incredible way of tracking down the enemy completely shocked Nangong and Lan Linger.
