Chapter 257: Entering The Trap
Ling Mo stood on the mountain peak, not choosing to return to the team.
However, his gaze had never left Shrek Academy’s team.
The layout was already set, next was the time to close the net.
His gaze swept over, and above the canyon ahead, some shadowy figures faintly floated, all of them wearing black clothes with their faces covered.
Very clearly, these people were all from Spirit Hall. Covering their faces was just to hide their identities.
But… this behavior was meaningless; anyone with keen eyes could see their identities.
At the front of the team, Qian Renxue coordinated with Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School’s Ning Fengzhi, while Chen Xin walked at the very front.
Ning Fengzhi was still nominally Qian Renxue’s teacher—no, it should be Xue Qinghe’s teacher.
However, Xue Qinghe had long kicked the bucket, and now Qian Renxue was taking his place.
“Teacher, where did Poison Douluo Senior go?”
Ahead, Qian Renxue sensed something off and asked puzzledly.
Just now, Dugu Bo had suddenly left, and she didn’t know where he went!
Originally, she had wanted to go directly find Ling Mo, but unfortunately… there were too many people and eyes here, and her identity wasn’t suitable, so she hadn’t gone over.
She knew Dugu Bo must have gone to find Ling Mo, but she didn’t know what they were talking about.
Combining what Ling Mo had told her earlier, possibly… Ghost Gate’s so-called plan was to be implemented here.
Hearing Qian Renxue’s question, Ning Fengzhi also sensed something off, looked back a few times, and found Dugu Bo still hadn’t returned.
At this time, Chen Xin suddenly brightened, as if sensing something, and said coldly: “Sect Master, the situation isn’t right…”
“Hm?”
Ning Fengzhi was puzzled, frowning as he looked at him.
“I sense several very powerful auras approaching around us; there might be an ambush…”
Ambush?
At these words, Ning Fengzhi’s expression changed drastically; this time he had only brought Chen Xin with him.
If these ambushes were targeting him, then… Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School would be in trouble.
As the sect master of Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, if something happened to him, the school would quickly fall apart.
These years, Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School had reached this point entirely due to him leading with his personal strength.
“Ambush? What’s going on…”
Ning Fengzhi said seriously; he wasn’t too concerned about his own safety—with Chen Xin there, his safety could be ensured.
But his daughter Ning Rongrong was still with Shrek Academy’s team.
Chen Xin couldn’t take care of both sides.
“A strong killing intent is hidden all around, coming from four directions, two of which are targeting us.
The other two auras are targeting the back, that direction seems to be Shrek Academy’s team…”
Chen Xin said seriously.
“Shrek Academy, it’s really coming for Shrek Academy!” Ning Fengzhi’s expression changed drastically.
“No, it’s not just coming for Shrek Academy; it’s also coming for us…”
Chen Xin said definitively; those two auras were clearly targeting them.
Clearly, he had been targeted by two Titled Douluo.
“If that’s really the case, then we’re in trouble! I don’t know if Xiao Mo over at Shrek Academy has made preparations…”
Ning Fengzhi said worriedly; despite only bringing Chen Xin this time.
He wasn’t worried at all about his own safety; with his support plus Chen Xin’s combat power, dealing with two Titled Douluo shouldn’t be a problem.
It was just that over at Shrek Academy, the strongest were only two Soul Sages—though they were two of the Golden Iron Triangle, lacking the most important third corner, they clearly couldn’t deal with the remaining two Titled Douluo.
“Teacher, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand a word?”
Qian Renxue pretended not to understand, but in reality, she had already figured it out.
It seemed Spirit Hall had already made its move, but she didn’t know what Ling Mo’s follow-up moves would be, and she was very worried.
At this time, Dugu Bo came from the rear and rejoined the team.
“Old Monster, where did you go?”
Chen Xin asked directly; he didn’t believe Dugu Bo hadn’t sensed that aura—at their level, their senses were all very keen.
Any slight movement, and they could feel it.
“Went to handle some personal matters!”
Dugu Bo said meaningfully, that smile very chilling.
“Oh? Old Monster, don’t play dumb when you know; speak plainly…”
Chen Xin’s implication was already very clear, and Dugu Bo understood.
“Hehe, Old Sword Head, you should have noticed too! Right now above us, many uninvited guests have appeared.
Among them, there are even four Titled Douluo level strong experts.
Two of them are coming for you and me! While the two in the back are going for the team behind.
You should know what will happen next; now… we can only join forces, first deal with the two in front of us, then go deal with the two in the back.
Otherwise… once those two finish off the people in the back and come to sandwich us, none of us will be able to leave this canyon alive…”
Dugu Bo replied seriously; since Ling Mo said to conserve strength, he naturally didn’t plan to use those six Titled Douluo.
With his current abilities, defeating a Titled Douluo wasn’t difficult!
With puppets and hidden weapons in hand, Dugu Bo was extremely confident.
At Dugu Bo’s words, Chen Xin fell silent, and Ning Fengzhi showed an even more worried expression.
Ning Rongrong was still in the back; if something happened to her, it would be trouble.
“Sect Master, how about… I go bring Rongrong over!”
Chen Xin hesitated for a moment, then said.
Ning Rongrong was an extremely important existence in their hearts; if she got involved, it would be hard to extricate themselves.
“No need! I believe Xiao Mo will protect her well; presumably, Ghost Gate has made foolproof preparations, right?”
Ning Fengzhi said, smiling as he looked at Dugu Bo.
Earlier, Dugu Bo had suddenly left, clearly sensing the ambush in advance and specifically going to discuss with Ling Mo.
Since that was the case, Ling Mo must have known about this long ago, so… Ning Fengzhi was certain Ling Mo had a backup plan.
This was his trust in Ling Mo.
“Haha, as expected of Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School’s sect master; Sect Master Ning lives up to his name!
That’s right, my Ghost Gate has indeed made foolproof preparations, just waiting for the big fish to enter the net…”
Dugu Bo laughed heartily, not avoiding it at all.
Hearing these people’s conversation, Qian Renxue also breathed a sigh of relief.
However… she was still very worried; after all, plans can’t keep up with changes, and accidents could happen anytime.
Whether Ghost Gate suffered heavy losses this time or Spirit Hall did, both were the last things she wanted to see.
If she had to say which she cared more about between Ghost Gate and Spirit Hall, possibly… it was Ghost Gate!
After all, this was a sect she had witnessed with her own eyes, built up step by step by Ling Mo.
As for Spirit Hall, she had no emotion for it; the reason she was willing to serve Spirit Hall and infiltrate Heaven Dou Empire was only to repay that woman’s kindness.
In the end, she was still very entangled in her heart, extremely entangled.
“They’re here, Old Sword Head; leave the one on the left to you, and this one on the right to me!
They’re all old friends, so no need to hold back; make your move…”
