Chapter 917: One ran away
Southern Continent, Sacred Flame Island, Sacred Flame Realm.
It is located a thousand miles north of the place where the Demon-Accompanying Grass is located.
Qu Yingsheng was leading a dozen or so array masters to set up an array.
After working for four or five hours, the formation was set up and Qu Yingsheng said to everyone in a low voice: "In a little while, cultivators from the Thunder Control Sect will pass through here. Remember, do not let a single one of them escape!"
"The formation master should control the formation; you must finish this quickly!"
Thousands of people bowed and agreed, and then Qu Yingsheng began to arrange for everyone to lie in ambush in various corners.
A quarter of an hour later, more than 5,000 cultivators from the Zijin Mansion of the Southern Continent were in ambush.
Time passed little by little.
Two hours later, more than a thousand people rushed over. Qu Yingsheng was overjoyed and said, "They've finally arrived!"
More than a thousand cultivators approached from afar, and suddenly stopped when they were 500 meters away from the formation.
Yu Shaoming extended his divine sense and scanned the area within a radius of five thousand meters several times, but found nothing unusual.
Yu Shaoqing looked at Yu Shaoming, who had a serious expression, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Yu Shaoming said somewhat uneasily, "I don't know why, but the closer we get to here, the more uneasy I feel..."
Yu Shaoqing smiled faintly, "Perhaps my brother has been working too hard these days."
After entering the Holy Flame Realm, Yu Shaoming was indeed extremely busy.
Yu Jiancheng basically doesn't care about anything. Yu Shaoming takes care of everything, big and small, in the team of more than a thousand people.
Yu Shaoming shook his head and said, "No, I just have a feeling that something bad is going to happen..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Shaoqing put away his playful expression and waved to the dozen or so cultivators behind him, saying, "You go ahead and scout ahead first."
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so cultivators immediately took flight in their escape lights.
After scouting ahead for a while, a dozen men returned and reported, "Young Master, we haven't found anything unusual ahead."
Yu Shaoqing nodded and said to Yu Shaoming, "Brother, I think you're being too sensitive. Let's hurry up and leave, or Yu Jiancheng will scold us again."
Upon hearing Yu Shaoqing's words, Yu Shaoming, also considering Yu Jiancheng's temperament, sighed and said, "Alright..."
More than a thousand people took to their escape lights again, and after flying only a few hundred meters, suddenly there was a 'buzz' sound, and a pale yellow array barrier enveloped them.
With lightning speed, Yu Shaoming pushed Yu Shaoqing out of the formation just as it was about to take shape, shouting, "Run!!"
Yu Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, and then saw several thousand cultivators from the Southern Continent rush out of the formation. These people were obviously prepared and attacked the Yu family cultivators as soon as they came out.
Thousands of spells rained down from the sky. Yu Shaoming shouted, "We've been ambushed!! Brother, run!!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Shaoqing turned around, activated his lightning escape technique, and disappeared after a loud bang.
Qu Yingsheng roared, "They're all useless!! How could they let someone get away? Chase them, chase them!"
Forty or fifty cultivators from the Purple Gold Mansion quickly leaped out of the formation and chased after Yu Shaoqing in the direction he had fled.
The Thunder Escape Technique of the Thunder Control Sect is renowned throughout the world. If he increases his speed, it will be extremely difficult for him to catch up.
Qu Yingsheng said with a grim face, "Kill them all, leave no one alive!!"
More than a thousand cultivators joined forces to defend against a wave of magic, but more than two hundred people have died and the rest are all injured.
Seeing that several thousand people were about to attack again, Yu Shaoming hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, we are cultivators from the Yu family of the Eastern Continent!!"
Qu Yingsheng sneered, "We're killing cultivators from the Eastern Continent!"
More than 5,000 Void Refinement cultivators formed hand seals and launched attacks. With so many Void Refinement cultivators attacking together, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be killed.
Yu Shaoming led the Yu family cultivators in a desperate resistance, but they were no match for the attacks from the Southern Continent cultivators.
After holding out for less than fifteen minutes, Yu Shaoming shouted in frustration, "Pan Chengfeng!!! You'll die a horrible death!!!"
Now, Yu Shaoming finally understood that it was Pan Chengfeng who had set him up.
Yu Shaoming never understood how Pan Chengfeng had gotten involved with the cultivators of the Purple Gold Mansion until his death.
Subsequently, thousands of spells struck, and Yu Shaoming and the remaining hundred or so cultivators were reduced to ashes at the same time.
Qu Yingsheng ordered a dozen or so men to stay behind and clean up the battlefield, while he led several thousand men to continue the pursuit.
After chasing for more than half an hour, Qu Yingsheng encountered the dozens of people who had chased after them earlier.
Seeing the ugly expressions on these people's faces and their ashamed, head bowed, Qu Yingsheng knew without asking that they had lost their way.
Qu Yingsheng was furious and muttered to himself, "Useless!" But what he said was words of comfort to everyone.
Qu Yingsheng took a deep breath and said, "You don't need to blame yourselves. I will explain things to the young master."
The forty or fifty people were overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly cupped their hands in gratitude, saying, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Qu. We will certainly not refuse any task you may undertake in the future!"
Qu Yingsheng stepped forward, patted one of them on the shoulder, and said, "I will keep Junior Brother Liao's words in mind."
Junior Brother Liao, Liao Dechao, is the direct grandson of the Eighth Elder of Zijin Mansion, and has a cultivation level of late-stage Refinement Void.
Liao Dechao quickly cupped his hands and said, "I hope Senior Brother Qu will put in a good word for me with Young Master Nangong."
Qu Yingsheng nodded, then turned to the cultivators behind him and said, "This operation has failed! The young master demanded that no one be left alive, but one still escaped!"
"But rest assured, this operation was planned and organized by me, so I will naturally take responsibility. You don't need to worry."
Thousands of cultivators bowed to Qu Yingsheng in gratitude, and Qu Yingsheng accepted their thanks with a smile, enjoying the satisfaction that came with this power.
Qu Yingsheng, with a peak Refinement Void cultivation level, was assigned by Nangong Xing to Nangong Tian, who was only at the Golden Core stage at the time, when he broke through to the Refinement Void realm.
From then on, despite having no background, he began to rise rapidly in rank and his power grew ever greater.
Through his connections with people close to Nangong Tian, he gained numerous benefits, not only in terms of resources but also, and more importantly, in terms of connections.
For example, this junior brother Liao Dechao in front of me, although his strength is not that great, he is a 'second-generation official'.
Liao Dechao's grandfather was the Eighth Elder of Zijin Mansion, a powerful figure at the peak of the mid-stage of the Integration Realm. He was in charge of many departments of Zijin Mansion and wielded considerable power.
Qu Yingsheng has accumulated a lot of similar connections over the years. He is not willing to be a servant by Nangong Tian's side forever. His ultimate goal is the position of the chief steward of Zijin Mansion!
Yu Shaoqing ran wildly, never daring to stop using his lightning escape technique. Only when his magical power was almost exhausted did Yu Shaoqing stop using the lightning escape technique and land at the foot of a mountain to meditate and recover his magical power.
An hour later, Yu Shaoqing, who had regained some of his magical power, quickly took out a communication talisman and sent it out.
After absorbing the magic power, the talisman flew up several meters with a 'whoosh' before falling back to the ground.
Yu Shaoqing's face was grim. He picked up the communication talisman from the ground and said, "Yu Jiancheng is dead!!"
Yu Shaoqing, belatedly realizing the truth, recalled Pan Chengfeng's words and discovered that Pan Chengfeng's previous statements to them were full of loopholes.
Yu Shaoqing gritted his teeth and said, "Pan Chengfeng! You dare to scheme against our Yu family!! It's a pity that despite all your calculations, I still managed to escape!!"
Yu Shaoqing took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down.
After a while, Yu Shaoqing, who had calmed down, muttered, "I can't go back to Pan Chengfeng's place. Although he doesn't dare to kill me openly, what if he does?"
But if I don't seek help from the Thunder Control Sect, where else can I go? It's almost impossible for me to get out alive alone."
Yu Shaoqing thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Oh right, there's him too! He and Pan Chengfeng don't get along either, I can go find him!"
As he spoke, Yu Shaoqing took out another communication talisman and sent it out.
