Fire or not, even if it's impossible to save them, one has to try their best to rescue them. He immediately turned back and sent a voice transmission to his subordinates, ordering several teams of experts to urgently turn back to aid...
On the high platform of the Command Center of the Nanshan Team, the mirror image had also locked onto the hiding spot of the 3,000th Heavenly Court squad. Ming Chaofeng wanted to see what the savior of his junior brother looked like and the skills that allowed him to gain such a reputation.
On one side was his junior brother's savior, and on the other were the people from Right Minister's side who had asked for help. How to balance the relationship here naturally didn't require much thought, and his own people would have to be wronged. The sect had the same idea, asking to keep it hidden from the junior brother.
Several light spots appearing around the target light spot attracted his attention, showing a clear offensive stance. He was somewhat surprised, what's the meaning of this, are there others besides here who have intentions against Shi Chun?
He thought it was not good, firstly, the encirclement was too obvious, and secondly, it was approaching the Heavenly Court Team's Command Center, possibly alarming them, causing the target to flee.
As expected, shadows swiftly scurried away from under the cliff in the mirror image.
He still wanted to see which one was Shi Chun, but the people in the image made the vision somewhat blurry, leading to confusion because it was too unexpected; everyone had a piece of cloth wrapped around their faces with what looked like two holes.
What's going on? Everyone on and off the stage was stunned.
The viewers on and off the high platform of the Command Center of the East Victory Team were similarly baffled by the masked group in the mirror image, including Wei Mo.
Shi Chun had been in his attention since rising to fame at Wukang Mountain, so among people of his level, no one knew Shi Chun better than he did. He knew Shi Chun's strength, not in fighting but in causing trouble.
Moreover, that guy had ambition, which Wukang Mountain couldn't retain back then, nor could he back then, what else could it be but ambition?
He deeply understood that the ability to cause trouble could be more terrifying than personal fighting skills as it concerned his own future, so he wanted to eliminate the hidden hazard in its budding stage, but who knew a masked group would spring up; masking? Such lowly concealment methods were useless and almost amused him.
However, speaking of which, his vision was also blurred for a moment, unable to identify which one was Shi Chun. He instructed the Heavenly Mirror's image to find a tall individual, thinking that finding Wu Jinliang would lead him to Shi Chun, but still failed to locate a conspicuous tall figure...
The high platform on and off the Command Center of the Beiju Team was also perplexed by the group of masked people in the image.
Commander Lan She immediately had the Heavenly Mirror's image lock onto a character in a blue light spot for confirmation, discovering it was from the 79th squad and couldn't help but frown.
He had secretly only sent personnel from the 68th squad to seize the token of the target team, conveniently erasing the target, so why did the 79th interfere?
He didn't think it was a coincidence, as the 79th was evidently directly aiming for the target, clearly outrunning the 68th in distance.
With another two teams going directly for the target, he became suspicious of the 79th leader Jie Yunzhao, suspecting either someone from the Mutual Market Junior Supervisor had intervened or that it was an inside agent arranged by another.
The possibility of the former was small, while the latter's possibility of an inside agent was substantial.
The logic was simple, the capability to go directly for the target wasn't something one person could manage; it required team coordination, which the Mutual Market Junior Supervisor couldn't achieve by casually instructing someone.
Lan She's suspicious gaze turned gloomily as he considered that if an inside agent appeared during team combat, any consequence could happen...
"Who's there?"
Riding on the Wind Scale, Shi Chun inadvertently glanced at the person beside him, Wu Jinliang, and got a fright seeing the height was wrong, but the name 'Gao He' was engraved on the saddle, surprising him.
Unexpectedly, the other party spoke in Wu Jinliang's voice, "It's me, Chun Tian. I've figured out a trick or two from Xiao Sheng's Transforming Technique, though it's not quite legitimate; after transforming, it can last no more than half a stick of incense, making it easy to expose. Didn't you just curse the Heavenly Mirror, suspecting that we were being tracked by it? Fortunately, with our faces covered, I took the opportunity to transform amidst the chaos, so they may not recognize me for now, aiding our escape. It's a clever decision by the Master to have everyone masked ahead of time."
Shi Chun was speechless, only then recalling the cultivation technique that wretch practiced, spending so long with Xiao Sheng, it would be strange if he hadn't picked up some benefits.
That was a minor issue. After a glance back, he handed the Wind Scale to Wu Jinliang to handle and took out a token to urgently contact the Command Center to inquire which side the besieging forces belonged to.
Asking revealed a surprise; it turned out it's not just one side, but the forces from all three major teams were involved.
Taking an occasional glance at the contact contents, Wu Jinliang's heart pounded in fear too.
Suddenly, Shi Chun exclaimed, "Something's wrong..."
Wu Jinliang: "What's wrong?"
Shi Chun's expression turned grave, "Neither the distance nor the timing match. One side could be understood, but how did all three sides find our hiding place so quickly and accurately, unless they came directly? And all are led by experts of the Earth Immortal Great Success realm. Damn it, the commanders from the three teams might all be involved."
Wu Jinliang was shocked, "No way, how could we play like this?"
Just as they were speaking, both turned their heads, hearing a loud roar from behind, but being far away, they couldn't see what was happening.
Actually, it was Jie Yunzhao's group that had arrived first, catching up with the trailing team on this side.
There's no choice; the team in the rear was flying slowly, a group without the Wind Scale naturally became the first victims. After an aerial strike, about twenty people scattered like birds and beasts, some flying in panic, others scrambling underground, all escaping with their lives.
Jie Yunzhao, after striking, was also confused by the chaos. It was said Shi Chun was cunning, and indeed this disguise tactic wasn't ordinary, all masked. If hiding among the crowd, which one among the scattered could be the target?
Unable to split himself, Jie Yunzhao swiftly ordered his companions to scatter and pursue, while he single-handedly chased after them.
With the cultivation of the Earth Immortal Great Success realm, once in full flight, it's swifter than the Wind Scale. Moreover, Shi Chun's group at the back was falling apart, as many were without the Wind Scale, though a kind-hearted one managed to carry nearly ten people in flight, further slowing the speed.
As Jie Yunzhao rapidly closed in without making a move, his approach frightened the group within the Wind Scale into scattering like birds and beasts.
After catching up and taking down two, Jie Yunzhao paused in mid-air, unsure of which side to pursue; his gaze turned sinister, suspecting that with Shi Chun's cunning, this eye-blocking skill suggested Shi Chun likely hid among the fleeing individuals.
So he quickly darted to the ground, knocking down two that gathered together, capturing one alive, pinning one underfoot, and demanded fiercely, "Which group is Shi Chun in?"
The man, blood at his lips, hesitantly questioned, "Who?"
"Don't play dumb with me!" Jie Yunzhao didn't hesitate, decisively crushing the man. He couldn't afford to waste time, frightening the other man to a pale trembling, indeed, a foot pinned on him, "Will you talk?"
The man, in terror, stammered, "I'll talk, I'll talk. My ears are dull, could you repeat who you're looking for?"
Jie Yunzhao sternly said, "Shi Chun, don't tell me you've never heard of him."
The man, terror-stricken, responded, "Shi Chun... Shi Chun? I have heard of someone called Shi Chun, captured and imprisoned in Life Prison. Is there another with this name? Is it a homophone or…"
"It's the same Shi Chun, don't tell me your team hasn't seen him..." Jie Yunzhao began to press down menacingly.
The man was crushed to the point of sobbing, "No, in our team, there's no one named Shi Chun. If there were, someone of his caliber would surely leave an impression. Really, there isn't!"
Jie Yunzhao was taken aback; the person seemed on the verge of wetting themselves, it's likely not a lie. He said gravely, "Is there a big guy in your team?"
The man quickly nodded on the ground, "Yes, yes, yes, his name is Gao He."
"Gao He?" Jie Yunzhao was again puzzled, questioning, "Not called Wu Jinliang?"
With a crying voice, the man replied, "He's called Gao He; there's no one named Wu Jinliang in our team, sir, you must have mistaken?"
