Chapter 534 Continue to deceive
The ancient battlefield of the world of dry bones.
Shangguan Heng, with the dozen or so remaining monks of the Shangguan family, has been shuttling back and forth in the ancient battlefield for five days and has no intention of going to the entrance.
Ge Sihao was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he could do nothing about Shangguan Heng. His speed could surpass the Thunder Escape Technique within a dozen breaths, but Shangguan Heng controlled the distance just right, making it impossible for him to catch up.
He glanced back at the monks behind him. The number had shrunk from more than 20,000 to 15,000 now. Five thousand monks had died in five days.
If Ge Sihao still doesn't know what Shangguan Heng wants to do, then he is an idiot.
But it is not so easy to let Ge Sihao give up now. He had laughed at Situ Xian before, but now he has become another Situ Xian. It is difficult to get off the tiger.
In fact, most of the cultivators were aware of Shangguan Heng’s plan, but they were just a little unwilling to accept it.
Li Ke suddenly sent a voice message to Ge Sihao: "Senior Brother Ge, the representatives of the team leaders came over and said that they don't plan to pursue anymore. The entrance will be opened in less than a month, and they are ready to go back."
Ge Sihao was angry and said in a low voice: "What a group of short-sighted guys! I think they can't move because they see the spiritual stones under their feet!"
It’s true, in order to encircle Shangguan Heng, many sects in the Withered Bone Realm didn’t do much to find resources, and all their time was wasted on waiting.
Now that I have been wandering around the ancient battlefield for a few days, seeing so many spirit stones, I really feel a little tired.
Li Ke advised: "Brother Ge, I feel that if we continue chasing like this, there will be no benefit except greater casualties. It is better to guard the entrance. Shangguan Heng will definitely go back as well." Now, except Li Ke, no one dared to persuade Ge Sihao.
Ge Sihao sighed and said, "Junior brother, do you think I don't know? But do you know how many people are guarding Shangguan Heng at the entrance now?"
Li Ke advised, "Junior brother, I know, but it's not a good idea for us to keep chasing like this. Shangguan Heng can already sense the cracks and specifically chooses places with many cracks to run to. If we continue like this, how many of our more than 500 elites will be left?"
Li Ke didn't care about the people from other sects. It's just that half of his own sect's more than a thousand elite refining warriors have been lost from the beginning to now.
The Yu Gui Sect is different from the Yu Lei Sect. No one is fighting for power in the Yu Gui Sect, and it is the Ge family that has the final say.
The Yu Lei Sect knew that the power of the Yu Lei Sect was not entirely in Shangguan Yun's hands when they saw that the Yu Family was able to mobilize so many of their disciples to enter the Withered Bone Realm.
These elites of the Ghost Control Sect were all trained by the Ge family themselves. In other words, the entire Ghost Control Sect belongs to the Ge family, and 80% of the senior members are members of the Ge family.
Ge Sihao was also shaken. If these people suffered more losses, there would be another big battle at the entrance, and by then there might not be enough manpower.
Ge Sihao stopped and sighed, "It's my incompetence! I have wasted 700 elite members of the Ghost Control Sect! Let's stop chasing and guard the entrance!"
Shangguan Heng ran all the way, choosing routes with cracks and skillfully avoiding them with his tribesmen.
These days, Shangguan Heng's understanding of the laws of space has become clearer. Seeing that he can break through to the fusion realm after a little retreat, it is impossible for him not to be excited.
Chao Qi suddenly shouted, "Young Master! The people from the Yugui Sect are not chasing us anymore. They seem to have retreated!"
Shangguan Heng hurriedly stopped and extended his spiritual sense to a distance of 100,000 meters, but he still did not find anyone from the Yugui Sect. He said with some self-blame, "If we had used this method earlier, perhaps our losses would have been much smaller."
Chao Qi hurriedly comforted him, "Young Master has only recently become familiar with the laws of space. If we had run like this before, we might have fallen into it ourselves."
Shangguan Heng didn't say much. The matter was over. The most important thing now was to get the demon-companion grass out. He hurriedly ordered, "Chao Qi, you stay alert first. I and the others will meditate and rest first."
They had been running or flying at low altitude day and night for five days and were under high mental stress, so they were already exhausted.
The three formation masters were even worse off. As soon as Shangguan Heng told them they could take a rest, they immediately lay down. If Shangguan Heng hadn't used his magic power to wrap the three of them and run together from time to time, they would have collapsed long ago.
After a whole day of rest, the few of them finally recovered. Shangguan Heng opened his eyes and said calmly, "Time is running out. We should go back soon."
The others naturally had no objection, but judging from Shangguan Heng's expression, it seemed that he was not about to leave immediately. Just when they were wondering, Shangguan Heng suddenly smiled slightly, and disappeared in a flash.
Pan Chengfeng and his team finally arrived at the ancient battlefield and was about to use his full spiritual sense to search for Shangguan Heng.
Suddenly, a stream of green smoke slowly gathered in front of him, and a peerlessly handsome man appeared in front of Pan Chengfeng, smiling and saying, "Junior brother is here~ So, Yu Qin is dead?"
Pan Chengfeng laughed and said, "Not only Yu Qin died, but all the elites of the Yu family were killed by my junior brother. I finally got rid of my anger~"
Pan Chengfeng looked around and asked, "Did Ge Sihao run away too? How many people died?"
Shangguan Heng regained his composure and said with a faint smile: "Ge Sihao ran away yesterday, and more than 5,000 people died.
Junior brother, your method is really good. If I had used it earlier, the family’s elite wouldn’t have suffered such heavy losses.”
Pan Chengfeng chuckled, "It's not that I'm smart. My brother's previous decision was correct. There were too many forces chasing you at the time. If you were going around in circles here, you would easily be blocked. It would be correct to go to the Black Stone Forest."
After the business compliments, Pan Chengfeng put away his smile and said, "Brother, you should know that there is still a tough battle to fight, right?"
Shangguan Heng nodded slightly and sneered: "Of course I know. They can't catch me outside, so they are waiting at the entrance now."
Pan Chengfeng snorted coldly and said gloomily, "Ge Sihao of the Ghost Control Sect, I will skin him alive!"
Shangguan Heng smiled and said, "Oh? Why do you remember Ge Sihao, Junior Brother? In fact, the Beast Taming Sect is the culprit this time."
Pan Chengfeng laughed awkwardly and said, "Didn't Situ Xian run away? Now the remaining people in the Beast Taming Sect are led by Xin'er..."
Shangguan Heng smiled and said, "This matter will be recorded on Situ Xian. Fairy Xin'er is indeed innocent."
Pan Chengfeng immediately bowed his hands and thanked him: "Thank you for your understanding~" While they were chatting, Ye Bufan and Ye Qinqin also came. When they saw Shangguan Heng, they directly said: "Shangguan Heng, where is the demon-companion grass? Give me one."
Shangguan Heng was puzzled. He glanced at the more than one hundred cultivators behind Ye Bufan and said in a bad tone, "Ye Bufan, what qualifications do you have to ask me for the Companion Demon Grass?"
Ye Bufan looked at Pan Chengfeng, who quickly sent a voice message to explain the previous agreement. Shangguan Heng said with embarrassment: "That one has already been given to Fairy Xin'er, I only have one now."
In fact, Pan Chengfeng had expected this. He rolled his eyes and explained, "Brother Ye, how about this? We still have a tough battle to fight. Even if I give it to you now, you may not be able to take it out. Why don't we continue to work together and protect Brother Shangguan and leave together? Once we get out, we can fulfill the agreement. What do you think?"
Ye Bufan pondered for a while, looking at his current manpower, there were only more than a hundred people. If the Demon Companion Grass was in his hands, he really couldn't protect it, so he warned: "Okay, I trust you temporarily, and you must give me the Demon Companion Grass when you get out! Otherwise, our Ye family is not easy to bully!"
Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "No problem, Junior Brother, I will keep my word~" Actually, Ye Bufan had no choice. If he tried to force it, with the limited manpower he had now, he was no match for the two people in front of him.
He had seen the strength of Shangguan Heng and Pan Chengfeng.
Seeing Pan Chengfeng's cheerful expression, Ye Qinqin felt that she and her cousin were being fooled, so she sent a voice message to remind Ye Bufan, "Cousin, this Pan Chengfeng doesn't look very reliable. Can he really give us the demon grass after he goes out?"
Ye Bufan replied helplessly: "This is the only way now. We are no match for them. If we fall out, we will be the ones who suffer. When we get out, even if we don't get the Demon Companion Grass, we will make the Shangguan family bleed heavily."
Shangguan Heng saw Pan Chengfeng agreed so readily, and asked in a puzzled voice: "Junior brother, if we deceive Ye Bufan like this, I'm afraid the Ye family will not let it go after we get out."
Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Let's stabilize them first. Ye Bufan's more than 100 people are very powerful. In addition, Xin'er still has more than 10,000 people. For the time being, we don't have to be afraid of Ge Sihao of the Yugui Sect."
