Chapter 679: No Investigation
Lu Gong sighed and explained, "We broke through from the center of Diling City all the way here, but were blocked by the ghost army in front. At that time, the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered, and the strength was very different. This is why I set up a formation here, waiting for the people who came later to gather and then break through in one fell swoop!"
Hearing Lu Gong say this, Wu Zhongze was shocked and looked around. "With so many people present, plus Senior Lu's ability, you are not sure to break through?"
Lu Gong nodded gently. "There are too many ghosts gathered at the north gate, and a few of them can compete with me when they join forces! If you force a breakthrough, the damage will be heavy."
"Hiss!" Wu Zhongze took a breath.
Ghosts that can compete with Lu Gong are simply horrifying!
Hearing this, Duan Qing finally understood why everyone had moved so smoothly before.
It turned out that most of the ghosts had gathered at the north gate of Diling City to block Lu Gong and others.
"In my opinion, we should continue to stay here, and when we gather thousands of people, we will definitely be able to break through in one fell swoop!" Lu Gong looked calm, as if he was very confident in his plan.
Hearing Lu Gong's words, the expressions of three people present suddenly changed.
They were Duan Qing, Hu Yanheng and Liu Wanhan.
Hu Yanheng and Liu Wanhan knew very well that the teleportation array of the Tongtian Tower in Diling City had been destroyed by Liu Wanhan, and it was basically impossible for cultivators in the city to gather at the North Gate.
In fact, the two of them only arrived half an hour earlier than Duan Qing, and they were not clear about Lu Gong's plan, otherwise he would have told the truth long ago.
Compared with Hu Yanheng and the others, Duan Qing knew better that it was impossible for cultivators to come from the back.
The teleportation array of the Tongtian Tower had been destroyed, so he, Hu Yanheng and Liu Wanhan were definitely the last group of people to be teleported to Diling City.
Moreover, he was randomly teleported from the Tongtian Tower to the city, and was only teleported a few miles away, almost from the market near the Tongtian Tower to the North Gate.
Those who teleported to Diling City before him and broke through the north gate should have arrived before him.
Now that even he has arrived at the north gate, it is presumed that no one has come to the north gate after him.
As for Wu Zhongze and his group from Tianyun Sect, they may have happened to teleport to Diling City before Duan Qing and his group, and broke through the north gate of Diling City directly from under the Tongtian Tower.
Therefore, they fell slightly behind Duan Qing who took the random teleportation and were met by Duan Qing.
But the Tianyun Sect group was just an exception.
After all, the place where Duan Qing was randomly teleported was too close to the Tongtian Tower.
The distance between them is unlikely to accommodate two teams without noticing each other.
Duan Qing's expression did not hide from Lu Gong's eyes.
He looked at Duan Qing in the crowd of Tianyun Sect and said in a warm manner: "Young friend, do you have any different opinions?"
Duan Qing knew that the situation was serious and could not be concealed. He immediately walked out of the crowd, stepped forward, and respectfully said to Lu Gong: "Junior Duan Qing of the Shinto Sect, meet Senior Lu!"
Immediately, Duan Qing publicly stated the damage of the teleportation array of the Tongtian Tower in Diling City and his speculation.
After hearing what Duan Qing said, most people present looked gloomy.
Even Lu Gong, who had been smiling all the time, became solemn.
"From the experience of young friend Duan, after young friend Duan and Master Wu, it is indeed impossible for another cultivator to arrive in a short time!" Lu Gong sighed.
The teleportation array has been damaged. Unless the teleportation array is repaired by itself, no one can be teleported to Diling City.
But the repair of the teleportation array cannot be completed in one or two days.
"Hmph, Fatty Lu, I've said long ago that we should have broken through earlier, but you just don't believe me!" At this time, a thin middle-aged man with a long sword on his back walked out of the crowd of the Huanjian Sect and sarcastically said to Lu Gong.
Seeing the thin middle-aged man, Wu Fang and Yuan Wuwu hurried forward to salute.
"Hello, Elder Wan!"
"Hello, Elder Wan!"
The thin middle-aged man just glanced at the two of them lightly, and then looked at Lu Gong again, his face full of impatience.
"This matter is indeed something that I didn't consider, Taoist Wan Bujiu, don't be angry!" Lu Gong said in a deep voice.
Wan Bujiu!
Hearing this name, Duan Qing looked at the thin middle-aged man Wan Bujiu with curiosity.
At this glance, he found that this person's face was really similar to Wan Buliu, whom he had met that year.
Could this person be the brother of Wan Buliu, the Sword God of Buliu?
"Hmph, what else is there to say now? If you, Fatty Lu, have the skills, why don't you start breaking out as soon as possible!" Wan Bujiu didn't know whether he was in a bad mood or didn't like Lu Gong, and his words were very unpleasant.
"In that case, let's do as Wan Daoyou said and break out immediately!" Lu Gong obviously understood that he couldn't wait any longer, and decided immediately.
It should be noted that while he was waiting for the later people to arrive, the ghosts were also slowly gathering.
Although the later gatherings were all ordinary ghosts, if it dragged on like this, the situation would only become more and more unfavorable.
"Okay, then it's settled. My Huanjian Sect will be responsible for the first battle, and Fatty Lu, you will lead the disciples of Tiangong Sect to cover the rear." Wan Bujiu said loudly.
He had already discussed the method of breaking out with Lu Gong in advance.
The people of Huanjian Sect have exquisite swordsmanship and sharp attacks, so it is most suitable for him to lead the breakout.
And the Tiangong Sect's mechanical magic treasures have comprehensive functions and strong auxiliary capabilities, and it is the safest to use them to cover the rear.
In this way, casualties in the breakout can be minimized.
Everyone present heard what Wan Bujiu and Lu Gong said, and no one objected.
The Huanjian Sect and Tiangong Sect had already taken on the most dangerous work, so what else could the others say?
Besides, among all the people present, Lu Gong and Wan Bujiu had the highest cultivation level, so it was natural for them to give orders.
They did what they said, and after recalling the cultivators stationed outside the formation, hundreds of cultivators, led by Lu Gong and Wan Bujiu, left the courtyard in a mighty manner and headed towards the north gate.
Among the hundreds of cultivators, the most eye-catching ones were naturally the disciples of Tiangong Sect wearing mechanical armor and the disciples of Huanjian Sect carrying flying swords.
Both of them were much higher than other sects in terms of quantity and quality.
Seeing the momentum of the two sects, and then looking at the lonely Hu Yanheng and Liu Wanhan, Duan Qing couldn't help but sigh.
As one of the seven super sects in the Central Plains, the support of the Wuxiang Sect was really a bit lacking.
I don't know if Huaying has a grudge against the Five Elements Sect!
Thinking of this, Duan Qing couldn't help but think of the Shinto Sect again.
The Shinto Sect and the Five Elements Sect have always been on good terms. I wonder if the Shinto Sect has sent anyone to Lingzhou to provide assistance this time.
The Shinto Sect is wealthy and has a teleportation array in Qingxu Mountain that leads to Gupan City. If they really want to provide assistance, it would be much faster than for him to go to Wuhun City from Wuxiang Sect.
It is estimated that the Shinto Sect may have arrived at Diling City earlier than everyone else, and may have already left Diling City.
