122: Fighting otherworldly cultivators
On this day, the weather was fine, and there was nothing unusual in Coastal City. As usual, the soldiers took their respective tasks and prepared to set off. Pei Yu took on a patrol mission, which was the most common task in Coastal City nowadays. Without expansion, daily affairs mostly consisted of these patrols.
Pei Yu didn't even know that a grand formation had been placed on her. If anything happened, it would be passively activated, and at that time, three Yao Generals would be teleported over.
She also didn't know that at this moment, countless hidden cameras were watching her, analyzing her every move clearly. A capture plan targeting her was already being strictly implemented.
Still in that familiar cave, there was a large screen in front of them, divided into countless small grids with different images. This was their monitoring terminal.
Song Miao stood before the screen: "Everyone, this is the Pei Yu we want to capture. Although she is a Yao Beast at the Qi Refinement Stage, she has that Snake Yao as her superior after all. We aren't sure if she has any life-saving items on her. Therefore, we must go all out when we act, but be careful not to kill her. Understand?"
The others all nodded, and she continued speaking, her finger tapping on several screens: "At these few locations, each of us will guard one. We will definitely be able to catch her. Speed is of the essence; we only have one chance to strike. Once completed, return immediately. If anyone is exposed, self-destruct immediately. Do you understand?"
This was the rule of their Canglan Realm. Although it sounded very unpleasant, it wasn't their first time coming to a Different Realm, so they naturally followed this rule.
After everyone nodded, Zhang Huai spoke: "Good, everyone put on your protective suits and activate invisibility. Let's prepare to set off."
Each of them put on something similar to a space suit. This was a very great invention of their Canglan Realm's brilliant civilization, capable of masking a Cultivator's aura, providing invisibility, and a series of other abilities. Most importantly, it could be directly driven by Spirit Stones, requiring no mana from the Cultivator; even a Mortal could use it. This could be considered another type of technological invention. It was very useful and was a Sharp Weapon for their Canglan Realm to invade other worlds.
At this time, Pei Yu was still seriously performing her task, feeling smug in her heart. She could feel that her cultivation was about to advance to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer. This cultivation level would make her the second-highest expert in their Flood Dragon Palace. Although her Bloodline was only that of a Low-Grade Demonic Beast, as long as she became a Qi Refining Great Perfection Cultivator first, Gu Yuchuan would definitely help her with Foundation Establishment. After all, having a subordinate at the Foundation Establishment Stage, even if only at the First Layer of Foundation Establishment, would truly give one face among the Yao Generals.
Therefore, Pei Yu had exchanged her military merit for many Medicinal Pills and natural treasures, intending to rely on these things to take a step ahead and stay ahead at every step.
Suddenly, she stopped her footsteps. In front of her was a steel monster. If Gu Yuchuan were there, he would recognize it as a crimson mecha—specifically, Wang Anming's mecha. A mecha, after all, was not a living thing, so its cultivation level couldn't be discerned. However, Pei Yu was very serious.
She shouted sternly: "How bold! What are you? How dare you come to the territory of my Yao Race! Do you want to die? If you're smart, honestly come with me. Once the great experts of my Yao Race determine you have no ulterior motives, they will naturally let you go. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy."
Inside the mecha, Wang Anming laughed loudly, his eyes filled with killing intent. He had been very angry these past few days because of Zhang Huai's continuous retaliation. Now, a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator dared to be so insolent; this immediately made Wang Anming's temper flare up.
"With just you? Wishful thinking. Prepare to be captured by me."
After saying that, the mecha raised its arm, which turned into a cannon barrel, and a blast of red flames shot toward Pei Yu.
The power of these flames was very strong, even causing the surrounding air to distort. Pei Yu subconsciously activated all her defensive capabilities—Spells, Magical Artifacts, and even Talismanic Incantations. However, she clearly realized that her methods were futile. The power of the opponent's strike had already exceeded the limit of the Qi Refinement Stage; it was definitely at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
But she was unwilling! She had clearly joined a very promising organization and was about to become the second-in-command. She couldn't die here; her future was bright. However, the flames locked onto her, preventing her from making even the slightest movement.
No matter how unwilling she was, she still closed her eyes, waiting for death to arrive.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths... She still didn't feel the expected pain. She opened her eyes and found a cyan shield in front of her. She knew this was her King's mana.
In the next second, five mechas appeared on the opposite side, and three Yao Generals appeared on her side. This group of people had finally gathered here.
Waves of emotion rose in the hearts of the Canglan Realm Cultivators. This was the first time they had been blocked like this. For a moment, they all began to suspect there was a traitor among them. But they acted so carefully; even if there were a traitor, it would be difficult to send news out. So why did it turn out like this?
Their faces under the mechas became very ugly. Meanwhile, Gu Yuchuan was quite happy; he had finally forced them all out.
"Cultivators from a Different Realm, didn't you capture my subordinate just to force me out? Now that I'm here, let's see if you have enough ability."
Zhang Huai simply decided to go all out. As long as they sacrificed the Snake Yao, even if they died, it would be worth it. They had been educated since childhood that dying for the development of the Canglan Realm was a very glorious thing. They had long been brainwashed.
"Snake Yao, since you know our identity and purpose but still dare to appear before us, you are indeed a bit too confident. You completely don't take us seriously. You will pay a heavy price for your arrogance."
Gu Yuchuan directly laughed: "Is that so? Don't you know? In the Myriad Heavens and Realms, the methods of my Immortal Dao are the strongest. Your kind of technological cultivation is just an Evil Path, not even worthy of being called a side path. What makes you think you can compete with my orthodox Immortal Dao methods? Today, I'll let you see the power of my Immortal Dao and let you frogs at the bottom of a well see the might of my orthodox Immortal Dao."
Song Miao spoke to Zhang Huai: "Captain, don't drag this out. We are fighting on away ground; if it drags on too long, things could go wrong. Let's just start."
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene became tense, and a battle could break out at any moment.
