Lin Xun felt a chill run down his spine. He hadn't intended to kill them, but rather to capture two alive. However, upon realizing he was no match for them, the other party quickly committed suicide, completely depriving Lin Xun of the chance to capture them alive.
All of this happened in an instant. Mo Shuwan pushed Lin Xun aside and saw Zheng Shanhe coming in a wheelchair. Knowing that the people who had come to rescue Zheng Shanhe had arrived, she suddenly sat down on the ground, panting heavily, and asked, "Can we go and rescue the others first?"
Lin Xun said, "Okay."
Perhaps the situation had really become very serious, because Lin Xun did not let Mo Shuwan and the others advance slowly. He took the two of them with him and released his spirit beast. The huge spirit beast carried the three of them and flew quickly into the darkness.
In less than half an hour, he had rescued everyone else. Unfortunately, Lin Xun still hadn't managed to capture anyone alive. The other side had all committed suicide, not intending to give him a chance to capture anyone alive.
However, before Lin Xun could even ponder why so many Black Demons had appeared here, he sensed powerful auras rushing towards them.
"Not good!" Lin Xun's expression changed drastically. He immediately urged his spirit beast to fly in the opposite direction and asked anxiously, "Shanhe, do you still have any blood beads on you?"
Zheng Shanhe shook his head. "Only one."
Lin Xun gave a bitter laugh. Even with the deputy city lord's token, it would take time to set up a teleportation array here, and he had no chance at all. He could feel those guys rapidly approaching them, but because the spirit beasts were fast enough, they couldn't catch up.
Thinking that the Alliance had deliberately cut off some communications in order to select warriors who had truly emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Lin Xun couldn't help but sigh deeply. This time, he was probably really in grave danger.
He wasn't an internal member of the alliance. Even though he had the deputy city lord's token and could come over without hindrance, he couldn't bring anything with him except a spirit beast. He was more than capable of handling any crisis in this world, but he just happened to encounter a large number of Black Demons, and their strength was not weak.
This war is now a world of difference for Mo Shuwan and his companions. They don't even have the right to participate and can only silently wait on the back of the spirit beast, awaiting their fate.
The quiet environment was already oppressive, and the occasional roars behind them made Chen Jiaxu tremble with fear. He whispered, "Are we doomed this time?"
Don't overthink it.
"I'm not just thinking nonsense. Look at the situation now... we're clearly at a complete disadvantage." Chen Jiaxu wanted to say more, but after being swept over by Liu Dongchen's cold gaze, he quickly shut his mouth.
Time ticked by, and in this world once again shrouded in darkness, spiritual energy completely vanished. Without the replenishment of spiritual energy, the spirit beasts gradually slowed down. If left unchecked, it was only a matter of time before they were overtaken.
Lin Xun frowned and asked, "Shanhe, do you have any items that can replenish your spiritual energy?"
"...I don't need them, why would I take them?"
Lin Xun was taken aback, and just as he was fretting, a black crystal was presented to him. "A formation stone?"
Mo Shuwan silently memorized the two words and whispered, "This should be able to replenish spiritual energy."
Lin Xun was taken aback. "Who told you that this can replenish spiritual energy?"
Mo Shuwan looked at Yun Chenjing, who was popping crystals into his mouth and crunching them loudly. She noticed that Lin Xun's eyes were also filled with shock as he looked at Yun Chenjing, and she immediately understood that the so-called spiritual energy replenished by this thing was probably only usable by Yun Chenjing.
Without replenishing their spiritual energy, the spirit beasts grew slower and slower, and they could even vaguely see the pursuing crowd in the darkness behind them.
"We're doomed, they're really going to catch up..."
"Stop saying discouraging things, okay!" Luo Baokun rolled his eyes.
Chen Jiaxu said, "I don't want to say it either, but look at how far they are from us..." Before he could finish speaking, the spirit beast beneath him suddenly trembled violently, as if it had been attacked. In the blink of an eye, the other party was already close by.
Lin Xun managed to take nothing with him except his weapons. Surrounded by multiple attackers, he was quickly defeated, and Mo Shuwan and the others were captured.
Mo Shuwan looked at the battered Lin Xun not far away and sighed. This time it really wasn't that they were too weak, but that the enemy was too strong.
"This guy is one of those recently rising Overseers? I don't think he's anything special."
"Heh, now you have the nerve to say that? When we were fighting him earlier, why didn't you rush to the front? You coward!" The young man, who was bandaging his wounds, was filled with anger. If this guy hadn't pushed him, he wouldn't have been injured.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Mo Shuwan and the others, who were tied up and thrown to the middle, silently looked at Lin Xun lying on the ground. The fact that the other party hadn't killed them was entirely because they wanted to extract some information about the alliance from Lin Xun.
Mo Shuwan looked at Lin Xun but was thinking about what that guy had said about one of the inspectors. She thought of the jade pendant lying in her storage space, which had the words "inspector" on it. What exactly does an inspector represent?
Presumably because they couldn't get the information they wanted from Lin Xun for the time being, everyone's attention began to focus on Mo Shuwan and the others.
Someone licked their sharp teeth and looked Mo Shuwan and the others up and down, then said with a smile, "The reason he appeared here alone this time must be because some little guy sent out a distress signal. The little guy who sent the distress signal must be someone special to make him come here so quickly, right?"
"Bullshit! I just want to help others, what's it to you?!"
"Shut up!"
Lin Xun was kicked hard again, but his disdainful words went unheard. The group temporarily abandoned Lin Xun and turned their attention to Mo Shuwan and the others, seemingly trying to figure out who had sent out the distress signal.
