Hua Ruxian asked doubtfully, "Are you saying... the six pharaohs of the Mingtian Sect will break through the defenses?"
Ming Zhitian nodded, "Yes, I've fought with the Grand Pharaoh. Even when I used the Wuhe Xing Long Yao Hua Ji Jue and the Xuan Luo Wu Di, I only managed to fight him to a draw, and that was all."
Hua Ruxian said, "Then what should we do?"
Ming Zhitian said, "Stay for three days first, and I'll think of a way. After three days, we may have to find another place."
Three days later...
Shi Ba Mao ran in, looking disheveled, "Young Master Ming! The six pharaohs have attacked simultaneously, and we can barely hold on."
Ming Zhitian opened his eyes, "I know. Since Li Yu can't be defended, we must find another way out."
Shi Ba Mao said, "There is a Wanping Manor in Beishan. The three of you can go there. The manor lord, Zhuo Qiran, is a righteous cultivator who specifically deals with the Mingtian Sect and can accommodate you."
Ming Zhitian said, "Thank you for the information. Let's go together."
However, the Shi Ba Mao all shook their heads, "No, I, Shi Ba Mao, have been in Li Yu for five or six years. Having drifted for so long, we've already considered this our home. If Li Yu stands, Shi Ba Mao stands. If Li Yu falls, we will follow to the death. Moreover, we will never abandon our brothers. With brothers united, what is there to fear in death?"
At this moment, Ming Zhitian was surprisingly moved. He never expected the Shi Ba Mao to be so loyal.
Ming Zhitian clasped his hands in respect and said, "Take care, Ruxian, Ruhua. We're leaving."
After Ming Zhitian and the other two left, the Fifth Grand Pharaoh said, "Kongtong Seal!"
The Fourth Second Pharaoh said, "Bai She Gai Mi!"
The Third Third Pharaoh said, "Mu Di Zhong!"
"Rumble!..."
The gate of Li Yu shattered into pieces, and the elites of the Mingtian Sect rushed in, "Hundred Impermanence, Yama's Lifespan!"
But they found nothing...
Helpless, the Grand Pharaoh could only capture Shi Ba Mao of Li Yu and tear him to shreds to vent his hatred!
On the road, Hua Ruxian asked, "You've been doing what for three days? Why didn't you make plans earlier?"
Ming Zhitian's eyes hid unspeakable loneliness as he said, "I cultivate every moment, all for the sake of continuous improvement. These three days, I've been working hard."
Hua Ruxian said, "Do you think your efforts are useful? You've offended the Mingtian Sect, the entire Mingtian Sect! I told you long ago to return to the Hua family with us for shelter, but you didn't listen..."
Ming Zhitian said, "I can't be a turtle hiding in its shell forever."
Hua Ruxian said, "Then what are you doing now? Is there a difference?"
Ming Zhitian arrived at a forest and stopped, saying, "You two go ahead, I'll cover the rear."
Hua Ruxian asked, "What are you going to do?"
Hua Ruhua said, "How about I stay here alone to accompany you?"
Ming Zhitian said, "Do you think I've been indulging in pleasure these past three days? No need, you can't help much. Go."
Hua Ruxian said, "We don't need to worry about him. Let's go."
After the two women left, Ming Zhitian snapped his fingers, and the forest rustled. It turned out that three days ago, Ming Zhitian had already made all the arrangements. In the dense foliage, thousands of mechanical puppet figures had been lying in wait.
...
When the Grand Pharaoh arrived with a hundred Mingtian Sect elites, he stopped.
The Grand Pharaoh touched the gray dust on the ground, "They've entered the forest."
The Second Pharaoh said, "Then why aren't we chasing them quickly!"
The Grand Pharaoh looked at the dense forest and frowned, "I always have a bad feeling about this."
The Third Pharaoh said, "Why don't we let some people go to scout?"
The Grand Pharaoh nodded, "Good idea. Come here, thirty men per squad, divided into three groups, to probe the area."
The three squads of Mingtian Sect elites obeyed the command and quickly entered the forest to scout. At first, nothing happened, but after they had gone some distance.
