Chapter 422: Secretly Moving the Troops, Fire at Me!
“It’s bad, Hall Master, Luo Zhen has disappeared!”
In the image, the strong warriors of Profound Sky Hall looked like they had seen a ghost, their expressions lost and dazed.
Upon hearing this, Jade Linglong’s expression was not much better.
“What did you say? At this moment, you dare to joke around? Do you know this is a death sentence?”
“I deserve to die, but I’m really not joking. Luo Zhen has genuinely evaporated into thin air!”
“Netherworld Master!”
Jade Linglong’s voice was filled with a sinister intention.
“Your subordinate is here!”
“Kill this incompetent fool!”
“Understood!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Netherworld Master decisively raised his hand and crushed the person into a puddle of mush.
This scene rendered everyone speechless.
That was a peak Semi-Sage strong warrior, killed like this; the Hall Master of Profound Sky Hall was indeed ruthless.
She was clearly the most useless among them, causing the greatest mistakes; if there were to be punishment, she would be the first to die!
“How could this happen? How could this happen? Where did it go wrong? In such a vast Profound Sky Hall, with dragons and tigers gathered, and talents emerging, how come we can’t even keep watch over a hostage?”
Jade Linglong was already too flustered to deal with the accusations against her; she had completely fallen into chaos.
Ever since she decided to deal with the Li Family today, it was as if all the bizarre occurrences had begun to flood in.
She felt like she had suddenly stood on the opposing side of the world, continuously fighting against destiny and the Heavenly Dao.
But in reality, she was wrong.
She had always been against Zhou Tong!
“It seems you all have run out of tricks, and without your threatening cards, prepare to welcome destruction calmly.”
The Little Demoness took a deep breath, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.
This immediately provoked Jade Linglong’s sensitive nerves.
“Think this through carefully; such indiscriminate destruction could very well kill Luo Zhen. Is this what you want to see?”
“Buzz…”
At that moment, an airship arrived slowly; it was the Red Dust Chariot.
“Hmph, that brat finally returned. You can ask for his opinion; if he isn’t an ungrateful wretch, he definitely won’t allow you to bombard Profound Sky Hall!”
In an instant, all eyes focused on the Red Dust Chariot, waiting for the young man to make a decision.
But what was unbelievable was the scene that unfolded; only Chen Ju was on board, and Zhou Tong was nowhere to be seen.
“Uncle… where is my husband?”
The Little Demoness widened her eyes and asked, yet Chen Ju had a puzzled expression too.
“I don’t know; when you launched the third Sacred Forbidden Weapon, that brat disappeared…”
Upon hearing this, everyone was at a loss for words, only Jade Linglong revealed a knowing expression.
“Stop pretending, Zhou Tong. If you have the guts, step out. What good is being a turtle? Do you want a woman to make the choice for you?”
Jade Linglong shouted. She thought Zhou Tong was evading responsibility; wanting to destroy Profound Sky Hall yet not wanting to bear the name of being ungrateful, so he handed the choice to the Little Demoness.
When everyone later blamed him, he could push all the faults onto the Little Demoness. No doubt, that was his plan!
Because placing Jade Linglong in this position, she would do it without hesitation.
“I agree to destroy Profound Sky Hall!”
Just then, Zhou Tong’s voice emerged, causing everyone to shiver.
“You dare!”
Jade Linglong reacted instinctively, shouting, her gaze fixed on the Heavenly Dao Image observing the Li Family’s side.
But strangely, Zhou Tong’s figure was not present in the image.
“If you have the guts, then come out. Are you afraid?”
“Ah, ah, ah…”
At that moment, a cry of surprise erupted from the crowd!
“Report to the Hall Master, that brat has appeared, but he’s over here!”
The Sage beside Jade Linglong’s pupil contracted, pointing behind her.
This action made her spine tingle; the scene of being slapped in the face not long ago still fresh in her mind, she abruptly turned around.
“Slap!”
The slap didn’t land on her face but hit her mentally, leaving her dazed for a long while.
She saw Zhou Tong’s figure suddenly appear high above Profound Sky Hall.
The young man stood with his clothes fluttering, facing the wind, his gaze calm and indifferent, looking down with cold indifference, like a god surveying the realm.
This scene was both beautiful and eerie, making one appreciate it while also causing fear.
How did he get over there? How did he do it? Was he still human?
“Everyone, long time no see.”
High above the enemy’s base, the young man greeted all, and even more shocking was the silhouette behind him, not Luo Zhen but someone else!
You… how did you manage that?”
Jade Linglong felt her body heat up, her breathing becoming laborious.
The series of events prior had already been absurd enough, yet nothing was more absurd than the scene before her now.
“Are you asking about Uncle Luo? It’s very simple!”
Zhou Tong smiled and said, “The guards responsible for overseeing the hostage were truly pathetic, so amateurish!”
“I just walked straight in; the weak ones were stunned with my spiritual power, and the stronger ones were deceived using the Sealing Divine Technique, completely unaware of my movements.”
“In short, it was entirely without challenge!”
As he finished speaking, Zhou Tong didn’t forget to shrug and continue mocking, “I don’t know how you, the Hall Master, were appointed. Such an important position, and you only arranged for an advanced Semi-Sage. How tragic for him to have died!”
“I didn’t expect Profound Sky Hall to be so arrogant, thinking no one would dare to strike at the heart!”
Hearing this, Jade Linglong felt her face burn, as if the loudest slap had just heavily struck her.
Mismanagement, unclear rewards and punishments, brutality, and a taste for blood—every characteristic of a base leader could be found in her.
“I’m not asking about that!”
She angrily roared, “What I want to know is how you avoided everyone’s eyes and ears, crossed thousands of miles, and directly reached Profound Sky Hall!”
“That’s even simpler!”
Zhou Tong’s mouth curled upwards, as if it were an insignificant task.
“I came here riding the third Sacred Forbidden Weapon!”
Upon these words, everyone stood dumbstruck.
What an obscure language, what a rare maneuver!
This could hardly be described as merely audacious.
How could such a madman exist in this world? Thankfully, they hadn’t gone against him!
“By the way, there’s one more thing…”
Zhou Tong slapped his head and said, “Your launching device exploded out of nowhere, right? Guess who did it—and you’ll get a reward if you guess right!”
“Damn it, was that also your doing?”
“Exactly, you’re quite clever. Congratulations on guessing it right; I’ll reward you with ten Sacred Forbidden Weapons!”
“You think by throwing yourself into the net, you can come out unscathed?”
As his words fell, all the Sages surrounded him.
Three advanced Sages, more than ten intermediate Sages, and over thirty low-level Sages, along with countless Semi-Sages, surrounded Zhou Tong tightly, inside and out.
For anyone, this was a complete, indisputable dead end.
“Don’t move, or you will die!”
Netherworld Master said coldly.
“There’s a way to heaven you won’t take, and a door to hell you came rushing in. Since you’ve fallen into my hands, I will treat you well; you will soon know what it means to be worse than dead!”
The opponent was eagerly preparing, already thinking about how to torture Zhou Tong. Even if they were to cut him into thousands of pieces, it wouldn’t relieve their hatred.
“You think you can?”
Zhou Tong sneered.
“Brat, today you’ll find it impossible to fly away!”
“I don’t believe it!”
As soon as this was said, everyone didn’t believe it.
No one could escape unscathed from this encirclement.
But Zhou Tong didn’t think so; the reason others thought like this was only because they were not Zhou Tong.
“Yue’er.”
He softly spoke.
“I’m here!”
“Launch immediately!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the heavens and earth trembled!
