Star Trace Gate

Chapter 651: Pressure

Bunker entrance, inside the stone chamber.

When Ren Ye was chatting with Chun Ge, he heard footsteps coming.

"Senior Brother Linghuo is here, please make way."

The shout resounded, and the Taoists who were blocking the corridor on the left immediately made way and saluted slightly towards Zhang Linghuo.

Ren Ye looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhang Linghuo holding a whisk and wearing a wide double-crane Taoist robe. At first glance, he looked very otherworldly. But after a closer look, he found that his face was not friendly, his chin was slightly raised, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked very arrogant.

Everyone surrounded Zhang Linghuo and brought him into the stone chamber. They quietly surrounded the nine unlucky guys including Ren Ye.

Nearly a hundred Taoists stood about twenty meters away, looking coldly at Ren Ye and others without saying a word.

The dim candlelight flickered in the stone chamber, and the atmosphere on the scene was a little depressing for a moment.

"Are they two teams?"

Zhang Linghuo only glanced at Ren Ye and the others, then asked in a low voice the Taoist priest who had just led the team in.

"Brother, there are two teams. The four people on the left entered first, and the five people on the right just came in." The young Taoist replied.

Zhang Linghuo looked up upon hearing the voice, his cold eyes slowly swept across the crowd, but he did not rush to speak.

At the wall, Chun Ge saw that he was surrounded and the Taoists in front of him all looked unfriendly, so he felt a little nervous.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

He thought for a moment, then took a step forward, clasped his fists and said politely, "Brother Daoist, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. I don't know why these Taoist priests say that we stole the pass, and I don't know how the pass came out. But the four of us did buy the pass in the Seven Peaks Divine Power Market, each of which costs 30,000 star sources. We came here to kill those crazy people in the Chaos Camp, and we definitely have no other purpose."

Chun Ge paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at Ren Ye, and said, "These brothers just talked to me, and they also bought the pass. Besides, everyone is a magical person from the Order camp, and they are here to help in the battle. I hope you can understand."

Ren was slightly stunned when he heard this, and thought that Chun Ge was worthy of his name Kaizhi. In critical situations, his experience and brain were still quite reliable.

When he was explaining himself, he also did not forget to say a few words for Ren Ye and the others. If you think about it carefully, the nine of them are on the same side in this stone chamber, and they are facing the same dilemma, so Chun Ge's words are an invisible gesture of goodwill and enticement.

Of course, this kind of show of goodwill and solicitation was not malicious. On the contrary, it won Ren Ye's favor because the other party was more proactive than him.

Not far away, Zhang Linghuo listened to Chun Ge's words, his face still gloomy and he did not respond.

His attitude would give people an uneasy feeling of oppression, just like a police officer interrogating a prisoner who is eager to explain himself. The less he speaks, the less confident the other party will be.

Chun Ge half bent over and looked up at him, beads of sweat already oozing out of his forehead, because he sensed murderous intent in the other's eyes.

This feeling is very mysterious, but it is the experience accumulated from traveling through many dangerous star gates.

"Haha, brother Taoist, next time there is a war, you can also include us in the vanguard team. We killed two lunatics from the chaos camp, which can be regarded as a token of our loyalty to everyone." Chun Ge was very humble and added with a smile.

Zhang Linghuo stared at him, and finally said coldly: "There is no need for a letter of surrender. We can see for ourselves whether what you said is true or not."

He was too lazy to explain to Ren Ye and the others, so he just waved his hand and said, "Take this man to the water dungeon and interrogate him with the ghost talisman. If he is lying, he will be killed on the spot, and then interrogate the other team to see if there is a spy among these nine people."

"Yes, senior brother!"

As soon as the voice fell, more than ten third-rank Taoist priests stepped forward and shouted at Chun Ge with unfriendly faces: "You come with us."

Chun Ge was a little confused: "Where... where are we going?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you'll know when you get there." The leading Taoist raised his hand and waved, and summoned a thin red rope, which quickly rushed towards Chun Ge and wrapped around him.

The other party's sudden action caught everyone off guard.

"Snapped!"

Chun Ge instinctively took a step back, and while circulating his star power, he raised his hand and grabbed the rope that was floating towards him like a spirit snake, and said angrily: "Brother Dao, what do you mean by this?!"

"You have nothing to hide, what are you afraid of?" a Taoist priest asked.

"What are you talking about? We paid for the passage to come here to travel. We have not offended you and have not harmed anyone. You want to take me away without saying anything. Who can just sit there and wait for death?" Brother Chun looked at the Taoists and raised his eyebrows and said, "You guys, this is a bit too much, isn't it?!"

"That's right, where are you taking my brother?"

"Can't leave!"

"...!"

Chun Ge's brothers also stepped forward and argued with him.

"One mouth, two skins, who knows whether you are telling the truth or a lie?" A third-rank Taoist priest scolded coldly: "I'll ask you again, are you going to leave or not?"

"I won't leave." Chun Ge pulled the rope and replied with glaring eyes.

Zhang Linghuo, who had been silent the whole time, stared at the nine people and waved his hand calmly, saying, "I have shown enough patience to you. You are shameless. Line up and tie him up in the dungeon!"

"Boom boom boom...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, nearly a hundred blue-robed Taoists who had been prepared displayed their magical powers one after another.

"Soul Binding Rope!"

The Taoists roared and raised their hands to swing forward. Nearly a hundred red ropes shot towards Chun Ge.

At the same time, Zhang Linghuo raised his arm and lifted up the whisk, and with an overwhelming force and a surging breath, he suddenly lashed towards Chun Ge.

Beside them, Chun Ge’s three brothers were about to rush up to help, but they were instantly forced back by more than twenty rays of magical light, and were knocked backwards and hit the wall.

The densely packed soul-binding ropes almost blocked all of Chun Ge's space to move. Like a tangled ball of thread, in less than a moment, he was tied up like a dumpling, unable to move at all.

The enemy had too many people, and each of them was a carefully selected third-grade peak supernatural power. Even if this fighting force was put into a collective action in southern Xinjiang, it would still be a mountain force that could not be underestimated.

The most important thing is that the Wanxiang Sect is a sect. Although the disciples have different inheritances, they have all learned the same secret books and can fight in formations with perfect understanding and tacit understanding.

So, when they acted together, their power was quite powerful.

"brush!"

Zhang Linghuo had a stern expression on his face. He held a whisk in his hand and mercilessly hit Chun Ge's head.

Chun Ge's whole body was tied up by the spirit ropes, unable to move. When he saw the whisk coming, he knew that he would either die or be crippled. He shouted unwillingly, "What a bullshit famous and upright sect! They are nothing but bullies!"

"Don't do anything."

Suddenly, Ai Fei and the others all heard Ren Ye's voice transmission.

"boom!"

A burst of majestic energy exploded, and an ancient sword that had lost its light flew out, attracting thousands of sword energies, sweeping towards Chun Ge like a gust of wind.

"Puff...!"

Dense sword energy swept across, and nearly a hundred soul-binding ropes were all broken. The Taoists who were pulling Chun Ge staggered back collectively.

"brush."

The sword fell, and Ren Ye's figure appeared in front of Chun Ge.

He stood with a sword in hand and said in a cold voice: "Even if you doubt our identities, you can't kill people for no reason, right? Wanxiang Sect is known as a famous and upright sect, and has great prestige in Gutan City, but how can you do things so overbearingly?!"

Zhang Linghuo looked at Ren Ye with a little surprise, his eyes swept over the Human Emperor Sword in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said: "You dare to fight back?! What are you afraid of?"

"Your life is already at risk, so what's wrong with fighting back?" Ren Ye said expressionlessly: "I advise you not to touch him, it's best to wait a while."

"Wait a moment?" Zhang Linghuo looked puzzled.

"There is not only one Wanxiang Gate in the migration area, and you are not the only ones who can use your power to overwhelm others." Ren Ye replied in a cold voice.

"Are you trying to say that you have a strong background?" Zhang Linghuo asked in surprise: "Haha, are you threatening me?!"

"Yes, I do have a background." Ren Ye revealed his true colors and stopped pretending, admitting it frankly.

Zhang Linghuo felt that he was arrogant enough, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to be even more arrogant than him.

Nineteen of his fellow apprentices had just died yesterday, his pass had been snatched away, his quota had been taken, and there was even the possibility that a spy had sneaked in. All these unpleasant things had made him lose his patience with these insignificant masters of magical powers in front of him.

"Hahahaha!"

Zhang Linghuo laughed loudly and said in a loud voice: "You have a background?! I, Zhang Linghuo, am making this clear today. No matter which sect or school you are from, anyone who has not been interrogated by the ghost talisman will never leave alive!"

"Even if the king of heaven comes, he can't save you!"

"Shame on you! All disciples, line up."

"Please all the super-class uncles take action!"

"...!"

He roared, and several elderly Taoists standing beside him instantly exuded a superb aura.

At the same time, nearly a hundred ancient peach wood swords shot out from the brows of a group of Taoists, forming a sword formation in mid-air.

When Tang Feng saw this posture, he was a little scared and immediately sent a message to Ren Ye: "You're done pretending, can you land?"

"Don't do anything."

Ren Ye sent a warning again.

……

Gutan City, Tannan, in front of Wanxiang Gate.

Six middle-aged men in black robes stood neatly in the center of the two stone statues of cranes, their bodies as straight as green pines.

Inside the gate, a Taoist boy came out and asked softly, "My fellow donors, why are you emitting a mysterious aura and pressing down on our sect's compound?"

The black-robed middle-aged man who led the group said calmly, "Little Taoist boy, go back and report to your abbot, and tell him that... the New Year's Eve watchman from the migration area is here to visit."

When the Taoist boy heard the word "year-old guardian", he was slightly stunned, then he immediately bowed and clasped his fists, and replied politely: "Please wait a moment, seniors. I will go and report."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and trotted towards the main hall.
