Monarch Night

Chapter 1397: Chapter 76: Encirclement! Yemo Takes Action!

Bang bang bang...

Stifled groans and miserable screams rang out nonstop as countless figures tumbled.

Yin Shen Palace turned into a streak of light, shooting straight into the dark forest.

On the spot, several injured Guardians were left behind. This time, Yin Shen Palace was only in a rush to hurry on its way: once he ran into someone, he immediately broke out.

There was no time to go back and finish them off.

Whistling signals rose and fell one after another.

The Guardians’ Heaven and Earth Net had already fully taken shape.

Yin Shen Palace had already burst out another seventy li.

In these seventy li, he’d gone through twelve battles. One of the Guardians’ cultivation was already at Saint Level and had almost managed to lock him down; only by using the Blood Burning Skill again had he escaped.

He had been blazing forward at high speed when two men suddenly threw their lives away to rush up and block him head-on.

They forcibly cut off Yin Shen Palace’s high-speed flight!

Although he swerved away and sprinted off the instant after the clash, his speed was no longer at Peak.

"Yin Shen Palace is over here!"

The two men were badly injured, yet still screamed at the top of their lungs, pointing out the direction.

Yin Shen Palace fled in utter disarray.

Up to now, no one had discovered the straight-line direction of his target, which allowed him to relax just a little.

If someone saw that his target was Bai zhang peak, then this time he really would have no chance of survival!

But how things would turn out, he’d have to talk about it when he reached Bai zhang peak. Yin Shen Palace knew that place: though the mountains there were high and the forests dense, it actually wasn’t much better than here.

If there were no special arrangements laid down, he’d probably be hard-pressed to escape death even over there.

But now he was just like Mu Lin Yuan and Qian Sanjiang: with no way out either way, he might as well put his faith in Yemo!

Even if he ended up dead anyway, so be it.

...

Fang Che was almost so angry he cursed out loud.

Yin Shen Palace was too slippery.

He had already chased through seven different positions in a row, all of them places where Yin Shen Palace had fought and then slipped away in a flash.

And Yin Shen Palace’s Jianghu experience was incredibly deep. Every time he broke free from one spot, he immediately changed direction, making him very hard to track.

Standing at the place he had just fought, it was very hard to tell which way he’d go next.

And the direction that people saw him leaving in was absolutely a feint.

Fang Che had already gone through two battles. Once the other side realized he wasn’t Yin Shen Palace, they immediately pulled back and left.

"One of us!"

Fang Che might look like Yemo, but in the pitch-black mountains and forests no one could see him.

And even if they saw him, they wouldn’t recognize him.

He kept pressing down his voice and shouting, "One of us!"

"One of us!"

The Guardians opposite each had their own ways of identifying Yin Shen Palace. Once they confirmed it wasn’t him, they immediately called out, "Offense taken... Which hall are you from?"

Fang Che casually fobbed them off, then everyone split up again and went after Yin Shen Palace.

The dark night was heavy, killing intent thick in the air.

Time ticked by bit by bit.

...

Weiwo Orthodox Southeast Headquarters.

It was already past midnight when Feng Yun finally received the news.

"Yixin Sect Leader Yin Shen Palace is being hunted down in the wilds outside Bibo City!"

Feng Yun was baffled.

Why had Yin Shen Palace suddenly run over there?

But the Yixin Sect was extremely important right now; they had to be saved.

"Who sent the news?"

"The message was sent by Yin Shen Palace himself. With him are two elders of the Yixin Sect."

"What exactly is the reason?"

As for the reason, that was temporarily unknown.

Feng Yun immediately issued an order: "Southeast Headquarters will dispatch fifty men to go receive Yin Shen Palace and bring him back."

Once the order went out, fifty men immediately shot toward that mountain forest like arrows.

But not long after, a message came back: "Young Master, it’s the entire Guardian Southeast Headquarters together with the full power of all Guardian Halls besieging Yin Shen Palace. That stretch of forest has already been completely sealed off!"

"If we force our way in to rescue him, we’ll definitely have to pay a huge price! We might not even be able to break through."

Feng Yun was shocked: "The entire Southeast Headquarters? All the Guardian Halls? What on earth did Yin Shen Palace do?!"

There was no intel on this.

No one could say why.

Feng Yun paced two steps, frowning as he thought.

He recalled the oddities of this recent period, and some of Vice Sect Master Yan’s strange orders.

As well as the earlier business with Yemo, Wu Xiang’s reports.

A doubtful light flashed in his eyes. After a long moment, he sent a message to Yan Nan: "Subordinate Feng Yun reports to Vice Sect Master Yan. An unexpected situation has suddenly arisen in the Southeast: Yixin Sect Leader Yin Shen Palace, for reasons unknown, went deep toward Bibo City and has been surrounded and hunted by the entire strength of the Guardian Southeast Headquarters..."

As he sent the message, he weighed it over in his heart: Vice Sect Master Yan seemed to have some other arrangement regarding Yin Shen Palace, with a sense of particular importance.

This was just the right chance to test him.

Not long after the message was sent.

Yan Nan’s order arrived.

"At all costs, rescue Yin Shen Palace!"

Yan Nan immediately grew anxious. Damn it... Yin Shen Palace absolutely couldn’t die right now! If he died, all of the deployments concerning the Southeast would suffer a huge setback.

After sending the message to Feng Yun, he immediately sent another to Sun Wutian: "Go and get Yixin Sect Leader Yin Shen Palace out of there."

He knew Feng Yun probably couldn’t order Sun Wutian around!

Sun Wutian was flipping through the information on those Shi Family clans; the more he read, the more killing intent surged in his heart.

Just as his evil thoughts were becoming impossible to restrain, Yan Nan’s message came.

"Yin Shen Palace? Where is he now?"

"In the mountains a thousand li outside Bibo City."

Sun Wutian immediately understood: "So he went to drink Yemo’s wedding wine and got found out. That bastard really does more harm than good! If he dies, he deserves it!"

"Hurry up and get him out of there!"

Yan Nan snapped, "This concerns Yemo’s future. Even if you can stay in the Southeast long-term, can you pave the way step by step for him every time?"

Sun Wutian snorted, putting the dossiers down.

He walked out the door and saw Feng Yun bowing outside.
