But now they're nowhere to be seen; they must have realized their scheme had been exposed and fled.
"Chase!" Quan Xing gave the order and led the Luo Yin Sect members in pursuit.
However, Pang Jiaxiang and his gang had been plotting in the Luoyin Sect for many years and had long planned their escape route. They brought magical artifacts that could isolate divine sense, so they did not alert anyone when they escaped and were soon outside the Luoyin Sect's mountain gate.
He was accompanied by several other people, many of whom were also part of the Rising Dragon Formation. Now that the formation was broken, those people, though not the main controllers, were injured to varying degrees. Together with the disciples who were handling miscellaneous tasks, they fled outwards.
Outside the mountain gate, Sun Shaoxing and his disciples from five sects had already set up some trapping and confusing formations. While they were still working on it, some people had already broken into several of the trapping formations.
The first to break in were Pang Jiaxiang and Gong You. The disciples were about to attack them together when Sun Shaoxing stopped them.
"Wait a minute, these two are too powerful, we can't handle them. It would be better if this trapping formation could hold them for a while, but if it can't, let them go."
Hearing this, no one paid any more attention to Pang and Gong. Although Pang Jiaxiang was injured, Gong You was a cultivator who had already reached the Nascent Soul stage. After entering the trapping formation, under Pang Jiaxiang's command, he quickly broke through the formation and rushed out.
The lower-ranking members of the "Newcomer" organization who came with them were not so lucky.
Although Sun Shaoxing chose the locations for the formation to be in the easiest places to pass through, time was limited, so occasionally some fish would slip through the formation area and escape.
But most of the underlings fell for it.
Sun Shaoxing was not so polite to these low-level cultivators who had fallen victim to the trap. He directly led the disciples of the five sects in the group to rush in and gang up on them, capturing a number of them alive.
The first two were caught and committed suicide by poison. They learned from their experience with the others and would dislocate their jaws whenever they had the chance, giving them no opportunity to escape.
So when Quanxing led his men out to chase after them, although Pang Jiaxiang had already disappeared, the disciples of the five sects guarding outside had captured a large number of low-level cultivators.
Although the mastermind escaped, it was quite surprising that a group of young disciples were able to capture so many people.
Quan Xing and the elders of the Luoyin Sect behind him were very surprised. After they were trapped, they never thought that they would be rescued by the disciples on the spirit boat behind them.
However, these disciples did far better than expected. They not only broke the great formation and released them, but also had a clear division of labor, with both offense and defense. They even thought of the fleeing enemies and sent special people to surround them!
Quan Xing immediately spotted his disciple Sun Shaoxing, and given the obvious traces of the array formation at the scene, Quan Xing naturally concluded that the ambush was carried out by disciples of their Luoyin Sect.
He stepped forward and stood before his disciples, saying, "Excellent! Well done! You are worthy of being disciples of the Hidden Shadow Sect!"
Sun Shaoxing bowed to Quan Xing and said solemnly, "Reporting to the sect master, this disciple dares not take credit. This arrangement was made by Shi Xuan of the Lianfeng Sword Sect. She organized all of us and divided us into groups to set up these trapping and maze formations."
Quan Xing's smile froze for a moment. This matter was their Luoyin Sect's, and they were practically on home turf. But not only were their masters released by Shi Xuan, but even their disciples were following her orders...
If that's the case, then the previous statement, "As expected of a disciple of the Hidden Sect," seems abrupt.
Quan Xing coughed twice, his eyes scanning the ranks of disciples. Not seeing Chen Qi, the leader of his generation, he asked, "Where is Chen Qi?"
Could it be that he's set up his forces elsewhere and hasn't arrived to assemble yet?
Sun Shaoxing remained expressionless and calmly stated, "Chen Qi rushed into the sect to help as soon as he arrived here."
Quanxing...
He suddenly remembered that someone next to him had asked if anyone was injured. The person who answered said that only Lu Changyi, the sect leader of Fuyuan Sect, was slightly injured. He was the only one injured among all the trapped people because he was trying to save two disciples.
Quan Xing was in a hurry to check if the thieves had succeeded and left, so he didn't pay much attention to the matter. Now that he thinks about it, could the two disciples who were rescued be from their Luoyin Sect...?
What I feared most came to pass: these two disciples were none other than Chen Qi from the Hidden Shadow Sect and another disciple who had entered with him...
At this point, Shi Xuan no longer felt any sense of urgency.
Once the instructors are released, she should be out of the picture. So many high-level cultivators around her have already gone off to investigate in different directions.
While Shi Xuan was bored, he happened to see Chen Qi, who was slumped on the ground and injured.
Chen Qi looked extremely disheveled; he was covered in blood and leaning against the wall, too weak to even cast a cleansing spell on himself.
That Rising Dragon Formation, a trapping formation within a killing formation, wouldn't cause much harm to those Nascent Soul stage cultivators, but it was far too powerful for him, a Golden Core cultivator.
At that moment, he noticed a shadow falling in front of him. He raised his eyes and realized it was Shi Xuan. He stiffened noticeably.
His disheveled appearance at this moment was a stark contrast to his previous energetic demeanor when he challenged Shi Xuan.
Think about what he just said? He said Shi Xuan was a coward who clung to life, that Shi Xuan didn't really want to help their Luoyin Sect, and was just putting on an act...
Chen Qi thought to himself, "It would be better if I actually fainted right now."
Shi Xuan saw his face turn red at a visible speed, and looking at his pitiful appearance, he really looked so sorry for him.
Therefore, Shi Xuan decided to ridicule him a few more times.
The Sword Saint once said, "Strike while the iron is hot, and you'll kill him." This is truly a profound truth...
"Hey, isn't this the brave and decisive Chen Qi? How come you look like this?" Shi Xuan's first words were sarcastic, making the already embarrassed Chen Qi wish he could find a crack in the ground to bury himself in.
Although he was injured, he had been paralyzed in this place ever since the formation was broken, and he clearly heard the whole story.
At that moment, Xuan broke the eighth-order formation and also caused the person who set it up to suffer a backlash.
He thought it was impossible... How could a Golden Core cultivator be able to break an eighth-order formation?!
On the other hand, he himself led a few people in without saying a word, but not only did he not achieve anything, he also became a burden...
Chen Qi lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"Hey? Why aren't you saying anything?" Shi Xuan walked back and forth in front of him twice, so that even with his head down, he could clearly see his boots and couldn't ignore them.
Chen Qi remained silent.
Shi Xuan chuckled twice, then suddenly imitated his voice, saying, "You cowards who fear death! If you don't want to help our Luoyin Sect, then don't come!"
At this moment, Chen Qi's face turned so red from her scolding that it looked like it could bleed.
"You...you shouldn't, don't say anymore..."
