Chapter 2770 Gathering
Chapter 2770 Gathering
Amrit Game World.
Mist Temple.
Bai Mu and his group had already dug a long passage in the trial cavern, and they were less than 3 meters away from breaking through to the surface.
"Have you contacted Fang Heng?"
Ji Xiaobo shook his head and said, "Not yet, he might have encountered something and got delayed."
"Alright, we won't wait for him." Bai Mu glanced at the time one last time and nodded at the others. "Get ready, in five minutes, we'll break through the upper layer, and we'll reach the passage to the Mist Temple. It's very close to the main hall."
"Our goal is to enter the main hall as quickly as possible and gain control of it, because we need control to enter the Holy Realm passage. So, we must be cautious, act swiftly, and not let them send intelligence or requests for help to the Holy Realm. We also need to prevent them from destroying the teleportation passage if they get desperate."
"Once we gain control of the main hall, Wu Yan, you and Abulati will be responsible for finding the teleportation passage. Once you find it, hold the teleportation area and protect the passage. The rest is up to the three of us. After completing the mission, we'll meet in the teleportation area."
The five demonic seed members looked at each other and confirmed the action plan.
"Move out!"
...
"Boom!!!"
With a loud explosion, the rock and soil layers beneath the trial cavern erupted!
Members of the Shadow Alliance quickly emerged from the broken ground below, infiltrating the Mist Temple through various passages on the surface.
Leading the charge, Wu Yan and Abulati climbed out of the catacombs and had just turned the corner of the passage leading into the main hall.
Huh?
The two of them suddenly stopped.
They saw a dense cluster of Holy Court guards gathered just beyond the passage corner.
The Holy Court guards blocked the passage opening, standing at attention as if they had been waiting for them to break through this spot. Their posture suggested they had known about the intrusion in advance.
Not good!
They had walked into an ambush!
Soon after, the rest of the Shadow Alliance members, along with Bai Mu and his companions who had blended into the crowd, arrived at the scene.
Bai Mu's heart sank.
Something was off.
Why was the Mist Temple's reaction so fast?
Moreover, the guards blocking this passage weren't just random defenders; they were all high-tier Holy Realm guards.
Even they would be hard to deal with in a short amount of time.
Wu Yan and Abulati exchanged a glance, about to charge in. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the group of Holy Court guards.
"Welcome, members of the Shadow Alliance, to our humble domain. I know many of you harbor great hostility toward my Holy Court, but now that things have come to this, your schemes are already laid bare. How about you lay down your weapons and surrender? Aside from the mastermind, I will allow the rest of you to leave. What do you think?"
Huh?
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Bai Mu and the others were taken aback and immediately turned toward the source of the voice.
Fang Heng!?
When did this kid...
Fang Heng, surrounded by a group of Holy Court guards, stepped forward with a smile on his face. His tone, however, carried an undeniable threat, "This opportunity only comes once. I hope everyone values it."
Qiu Xiaoling, who had blended in among the members of the Shadow Alliance, blinked in confusion.
What was the meaning of this?
So, the Holy Court intercepted them here because Fang Heng leaked the information?
What was he doing?
How did he end up on the Holy Court's side?
Wow, was he a triple agent?
Fang Heng gave a subtle look toward Bai Mu in the crowd.
Bai Mu, who was initially shocked when he saw Fang Heng, immediately reacted upon noticing the glance and shouted in the crowd, "Run!"
It wasn't clear who started it, but upon hearing Bai Mu's shout, the members of the Shadow Alliance quickly turned and began to flee.
Fang Heng raised his hand and pointed at the five demonic seed members, including Bai Mu, and sternly ordered, "Everyone else can leave, but these five cannot escape!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, several Holy Court guards quickly gathered and surrounded the group of over ten individuals Fang Heng had pointed at.
Abulati, seeing they were surrounded, raised an eyebrow and was about to act, but Wu Yan, standing beside him, held him back.
"Don't move. This is Fang Heng's arrangement. Let's see what happens."
Abulati glanced at Fang Heng, then stopped and ceased resisting.
Soon, with the Shadow Alliance demons fleeing the Great Hall, the entire hall fell silent.
Fang Heng turned toward the Archbishop of the Mist Temple, leaned in, and quietly said, "Thank you for your cooperation, Archbishop. I received word in advance that these individuals are the masterminds behind the Shadow Alliance. There's another hand controlling them from behind, and I need to take them to the Holy Realm for a thorough interrogation. I hope that won't be a problem."
The Archbishop of the Mist Temple smiled and replied, "Great Sage, you are too kind. If it weren't for your warning, things could have turned disastrous. You may take them at any time."
The Archbishop wiped a layer of cold sweat from his back.
If it weren't for the reminder Fang Heng gave them more than ten minutes ago, the Mist Temple would definitely be in trouble this time.
Who could have predicted that the Shadow Alliance would directly dig a passage from the Trial Cave?
It was simply terrifying!
As for how Fang Heng was able to predict the Shadow Alliance's movements, even knowing the exact location where they had broken through...
Was there a problem with that?
He's the Great Sage!
All-knowing, all-seeing!
Bai Mu and the others caught the term "Great Sage" from the Mist Temple Archbishop's mouth and couldn't help but turn to look at Fang Heng. Their gazes towards him became even more peculiar.
Huh? Greed?
In just a few hours, your identity has changed again?
When did you reach the level of Great Sage?
Fang Heng nodded, saying, "I won't delay you, Archbishop. I'll take them to the Holy Realm now."
"Yes, yes, of course."
The Archbishop of the Mist Temple nodded repeatedly.
These hot potatoes were a headache to hold onto.
He couldn't wait to get rid of them!
Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, Fang Heng secretly exchanged glances with Bai Mu and the others. He led the group through the teleportation passage to the Holy Realm.
...
Ten minutes later.
Holy Realm Great Hall, lounge area.
Once the miscellaneous personnel had completely left and there was no one else around, Abulati couldn't help but burst into laughter. He praised, "Fang Bai, you sure have skills. With just a few words, we didn't even have to fight. We were directly guided into the Holy Realm."
The newly joined Wu Yan and Niximi also looked at Fang Heng, admiring him silently.
It was true—Greed did have some talent.
He managed to trick everyone in the Holy Realm.
Not everyone could do that.
"It was just a coincidence. I was mistakenly recognized as the Great Sage of the Holy Realm," Fang Heng said with a shrug.
To get this far, Fang Heng hadn't expected it either, but he couldn't help but feel lucky. He had somehow advanced to the Great Sage level in the temple.
"However, this identity won't last long. It'll soon be seen through. We need to proceed with our next move quickly."
"Yes, that's right."
