Chapter 85 Farewell to the Mask
"The moment the Heavenly Court is repaired, there will likely be quite a commotion, which will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of the Outer Gods. Since we're going to hunt them anyway, we might as well not go into the Mist for now..."
"I think what the Celestial Venerable and Commander Ye mean is that they want us to provide early warning for Great Xia on the outer edge of the fog, and also take care of a few Outer Gods who are not strong enough but want to join in the fun."
Wu Tongxuan narrowed his eyes, considering the possibility that the two of them had come looking for their team at the same time, and interrupted Ling Yunxiao.
"Yes, that's what we're thinking. You shouldn't stray too far from Great Xia, so that if anything unusual happens there, you can get back in time."
"Ok!"
After Wang Mian accepted the mission on behalf of the entire team, Ye Fan and Yuanshi Tianzun were just about to get up and leave when Ye Fan's phone rang. He pressed the answer button and looked at Wang Mian with a complicated expression.
"The Masked Squad was attacked in Haishan City. Three members are now in critical condition, and three are seriously injured and unconscious. Only Wu Xiangnan, with the help of an undercover agent, led the entire team to escape and is currently at the Night Watchers' base in Haishan City..."
Before Ye Fan could finish speaking, Ling Yunxiao had already stood up and waved to the air.
Garuda King landed with a swift descent, and the Wuwang Squad quickly climbed onto its back before they could even wave goodbye to Ye Fan.
"Be careful, that's the Moon Tree over there, and there might be other gods there too."
Ye Fan's voice could be faintly heard in the wind. Wang Mian and Ling Yunxiao were startled, and at the same time looked at Wu Tongxuan with resentment.
"Your psychic team really does just chase without killing!"
Wang Mian sighed, and the smiling faces of his teammates suddenly appeared in his mind, making his gaze toward Wu Tongxuan even more hostile.
Wu Tongxuan coughed awkwardly, turned his head to look at the clouds on the horizon, and secretly vowed that when he got there, he would definitely cut Yue Huai, the one who had escaped the net, into a thousand pieces.
Garuda King sensed the heavy thoughts of the people behind him and silently increased his speed, flying towards Haishan City with all his might.
An hour later, Garuda King hovered above Haishan City, and the group of people jumped down from the void without hesitation.
Just as they were about to crash heavily to the ground, Si Xiaonan touched them with a light veil, and time seemed to stand still around them for a moment.
After landing, the group found themselves standing in front of a two-story building. A weathered wooden sign hung on the building, vaguely indicating that this was the Forestry Protection Bureau. As they appeared, a nervous-looking middle-aged man rushed out of the building, gripping his Star Blade tightly and looking at them suspiciously.
When he saw that the newcomers were wearing Night Watch uniforms and carrying Starblades, he breathed a sigh of relief. His face turned grim as he stepped aside and pointed into the two-story building.
"Let's go in and check! The Masked Squad seems to be on the verge of collapse."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yunxiao could no longer stand still. He rushed into the room, already holding the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen. As he saw the people, the warm and gentle light of the Healing Technique enveloped them all.
"Brother Ling, please save this man! He was an undercover agent who was killed by Yuehuai while covering our retreat."
Whirlpool's voice was hoarse. He had just been lying on the ground, one of the few who were critically injured and on the verge of death. Now, having just been healed and recovered by Ling Yunxiao, he couldn't wait to point to a middle-aged man in the corner.
Ling Yunxiao, of course, did not hesitate and raised his hand to write "Live Towards Death".
A moment later, the middle-aged man suddenly sat up straight, and after seeing everything around him, he smiled happily.
"Hehe...They're all saved? That's great."
He then looked towards Wang Mianling Yunxiao's group, frowned, and after a moment of scrutiny, immediately recognized these people.
"You're the Unstoppable Squad, aren't you! Moonflower has set up an altar to the Wind God on the ground, and he's probably about to summon Hugh, the Egyptian Wind God. You must stop him!"
"Oh, you haven't summoned it yet? No rush. Tell me about your situation first. Mr. Lu Wuwei contacted headquarters and Ling Yunxiao immediately after discovering the altar. Are you all stronger than the ceiling?"
Wang Mian looked at all the members of the Masked Squad with a cold expression, his eyes full of sternness and dissatisfaction.
"Captain, don't be angry, let us explain. This is Meng Li, a new teammate we just added this year. His ability is to foresee what will happen an hour from now."
We came to Haishan City because of a mysterious event, and as soon as we arrived in Mengli, we discovered that the altar had been activated. He said that if we didn't stop it, it would be too late. We were planning to contact headquarters at the time…”
Why wasn't headquarters contacted?
Wang Mian's eyes were fixed on Tianping. He was now the captain of the Masked Squad, and he had an inescapable responsibility for leading the team into a deadly situation.
"I'm sorry, Captain. It was my suggestion to go and find out just how dangerous the mystery is before contacting headquarters. After all, Meng Li's prophecy isn't omniscient."
"I'm sorry, Captain. We treated Meng Li as a replacement after you left, and we relied somewhat on foresight, which led to this situation."
Whirlpool and Moon Demon spoke up one after the other, facing the King's questioning like helpless children who had accidentally done something wrong.
"Captain, forget it. To be honest, it's all my fault. Don't blame them!"
Ling Yunxiao couldn't stand it any longer, so he got up and walked over to Wang Mian, gently patting his shoulder. Before Wang Mian could say anything, Whirlpool had already pushed Ling Yunxiao away, raising an eyebrow and smiling.
"I am now at the Klein Realm, why would I need your pleas for mercy, given my Boundless Realm level?"
"That's right, Yunxiao. I'm not trying to be mean, but with your current strength, you should just shut up!"
Rose also approached Ling Yunxiao with a playful smile, and even gently straightened his collar like an elder.
"Brothers, the Masked Squad is bullying our junior members, can we tolerate this? No way! Let's beat them up!"
Wu Tongxuan immediately stepped forward, while Leng Xuan and Si Xiaonan also looked at Wu Xiangnan and Zhao Kongcheng with ill intent.
"Brothers, let's beat them up!"
With a command from the king, the two teams clashed, but neither of them activated the Forbidden Ruins or even picked up weapons; they were simply competing with their physical strength.
