News of the tragic battle in Tiancong City quickly spread throughout Penglai Immortal Kingdom.
There are various versions circulating in the market, but most of them mention that a monk named Li Mu from the Cangyun Empire summoned an eighth-level monster beast battle pet and severely damaged the Dong Penglai troops in Tiancong City.
The two top leaders in Penglai, East and West, had completely opposite attitudes towards this unexpected incident.
In the majestic Penglai Palace, Sikong lifted up the man in a general's uniform. The angry look on his face scared the senior officer in charge of the East Penglai intelligence system and begged loudly for mercy.
"What do you losers do for a living? Such an important person lurked deep into the empire, and you didn't even report it? Everyone is trying to organize their own forces to arrest him. Do you think that you can take all the credit?"
Sikong Zhi was really angry with his generals. If the commander of the Night Crow Squad hadn't dug such a big hole in Tiancong City, he wouldn't have known that Li Mu actually led an elite squad into Dong Penglai.
.
Immediately ordered the intelligence agency to conduct a thorough investigation. It was better not to investigate, but when the investigation was carried out, they were shocked. It turned out that as early as a month ago, a local army had sniped at Li Mu's team in Beishan Canyon.
A large number of soldiers and energy stone artillery were lost, but in the end not even a hair was left behind. The general responsible for the incident was afraid of being punished, so he chose to conceal the enemy's situation.
There are more than a dozen incidents like this, but Sikong and Katori, as the leaders of Dong Penglai, know nothing about it. They can only say that it is completely off the mark.
"All the intelligence sources of these teams are anonymous. It seems that it is those people who got the information in Dongpenglai, but they want to bypass me and directly instigate the troops below to do things. Huh, it seems that you are also harboring evil intentions.
.”
Sikong knew very well who was providing intelligence to the Dong Penglai troops. Who else could advance and retreat freely within the territory of Dong Penglai except the "Blood" organization.
It's just that the other party did not directly hand over Li Mu's whereabouts to himself or the intelligence agency directly under Penglai City. Instead, he asked stragglers to be responsible for the arrest. The meaning of this is quite interesting.
Dong Penglai was in a hurry, and Baili and Shen Bairu were like ants on a hot pot.
Only the two of them knew about this elite squad in the entire Xi Penglai. Now that it had made a big noise, and its life or death was uncertain, this would definitely have a big impact on the frontline morale of the expeditionary force.
We must know that the current battle situation between the two sides has been able to maintain a balance for so long. Eighty percent of the functions of this king's division led by Liu Chong are on this team. Li Mu's special identity is here. Baili and Shen Bairu naturally do not want to see the team lose control.
He died like this in Dong Penglai.
But the team is located in the hinterland of Dong Penglai. Even if he has Baili's extraordinary ability, he still can't find Li Mu and the others in the vast sea of people. He has to mobilize all intelligence forces and do his best to find the whereabouts of the team.
But Li Mu didn't know that the entire Penglai Island was worried about him. He had paid a huge price to break out of the siege and was seriously injured.
The bionic space is released.
When the girl saw Li Mu, she gasped. Her clothes were soaked in blood, there were two deep scars on her back, and even her right hand was torn apart by the explosion.
Resolutely carrying Li Mu on his back, Xiao Tao Wan plunged into the deep forest and found a hidden cave to stay.
After more than ten days of careful care, Li Mu had recovered more than half of his body. Although his body was still covered with thick bandages, his movements were no longer affected.
Not daring to delay, the two of them left the cave where they were temporarily staying in a hurry, quickly passed through the vast forest, and headed towards the north of Dong Penglai.
"Are there still no responses from Junior Brother Bai and Junior Brother Jin? I remember the last communication was five days ago, right?"
Li Mu was worried. At first, they kept in contact with Bai Jingting and learned that the other party had grasped important clues about the nine-tailed demon fox and was planning to prevent the summoning operation of the "Blood" organization.
The failure of Tiancong City made Li Mu understand that the team's whereabouts had most likely been exposed, so he strongly suggested that Bai Jingting and Jin Ding postpone their actions until he and Xiao Taomaru rushed there before making plans.
Moreover, Liu Chong, who was far away on the front line, also sent a message, asking the team to return to Xi Penglai immediately. The price of losing two talented monks was already too high, and even the expeditionary force could not bear it.
But just five days ago, after Bai Jingting sent the last message saying "The situation has changed, prepare to act in advance", there was no news. No matter how Li Mu sent inquiring messages, he never received a response.
.
"No, I send it every hour, but I never got a reply from Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Jin."
Xiao Momomaru was also in a low mood. This mission deep behind enemy lines could basically be declared a complete failure in this situation.
This elite team of six monks has been closely watched by the "Blood" organization since the beginning of the mission, and every move has been leaked to the local Dong Penglai troops.
Not only failed to stop the summoning ceremony of the ancient demon, but also sacrificed two members, especially Elder Li Shu, who was brutally ravaged.
Faced with such a heavy defeat and the tragic sacrifice of his companions, Li Mu had no way to fight back. Even if he killed more than 300 Dong Penglai soldiers in Tiancong City, he could not gain any spiritual improvement.
of comfort.
"The four heavenly kings, the guardians on the left and right, and the so-called leader, one day, I, Li Mu, will definitely chop your heads off the horse and uproot your organization."
Li Mu, who knew that everything was given by the man in black robe, did not hide the hatred in his heart. He longed for power more than ever and longed to avenge his fallen comrades.
The speed of the two of them is not slow, but it is still very difficult to avoid all the spies in Dongpenglai, which is already full of troubles.
By the time Li Mu and Xiao Tao Wanzi arrived at the evacuation location mentioned by Bai Jingting, it was late at night three days later. The two people who had not seen their companions did not dare to leave easily. They settled in this small town, living in seclusion and waiting.
News about Bai Jingting and Jin Ding.
It wasn't until another three days passed that Bai Jingting, who was covered in blood and furious, climbed into Li Mu's house through the back window. Before he could say a word, he passed out.
Fortunately, the rescue was done properly, and Li Mu used two more immortal elixirs at all costs, and this talented disciple of the Zichuan Sect was brought back from the gate of hell.
As soon as he opened his eyes and saw Li Mu, tears welled up in Bai Jingting's eyes. He was not crying because of his own salvation, but because of the fact that Li Mu and Xiao Taomaru had guessed but didn't want to believe.
"Senior Brother Li, Junior Brother Jin... he sacrificed his life, he sacrificed his life to save me..."
