Over a hundred scouts were sent out to follow the escaping warriors. One day later, good news came back!
Those top-notch scouts followed the fleeing soldiers and found a mystic realm.
Moreover, a Saint Emperor had even captured an Overlord. After searching his soul, he obtained a very important piece of information —
This secret base was an important one for the Celestial Emperor Sect. More than half of the young elites of the Celestial Emperor Sect were here.
In addition, there was a powerful warrior who was infinitely close to the consummate realm. He was one of the few founding patriarchs of the Celestial Emperor Sect.
Secret base!
The news excited all the powerful warriors. The elites of the young generation.
They were the seeds of the Celestial Emperor Sect, the life of the Celestial Emperor Sect.
Lu Li and the higher-ups of the Celestial Emperor Sect would lose their minds if they could capture the elites.
Once the enemies lost their minds, the Celestial Emperor Sect would have a chance. If Lu Li remained calm, the Celestial Emperor Sect would not stand a chance.
That Great Emperor Realm warrior was brought out. But he was in a vegetative state. Searching his soul could lead to problems.
Fortunately, the Great Emperor Realm warrior was still alive and his memories were still there.
The Fourth Elder personally searched his soul and found that there were indeed remnants of memories regarding this secret base.
This was one of the most important bases for the Celestial Emperor Sect. Not only were there many elite disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect, but there were also many treasures.
The treasures did not matter. What mattered most was the elite disciples.
Without any hesitation, Patriarch Four led all the powerful warriors to the entrance of the secret area without waiting for the army to move forward.
They would take control of the secret entrance first. The army could come slowly.
The entrance was in a pond on a hill. There were many scouts nearby and there was a powerful formation of illusion.
But for Patriarch Four and the others, the formation of illusion was not a problem. They were not affected.
When they arrived, they took control of all the scouts nearby. They did not kill any of the scouts. They just controlled them so that they would not alert the enemy.
They did not rush in after they took control of the scouts. They waited for the army to arrive.
Half a day later, the army arrived. Millions of warriors surrounded the area. Not even a mosquito could get in.
Patriarch Four and the others gathered together. They decided to enter the secret area at once and take control of the inside. If the powerful warriors inside were to notice and seal the entrance, it would be troublesome.
The Fourth Elder decided to personally lead the team in. Moreover, ten of them would enter at once, while the remaining eight would stand guard outside.
This was a safer way to fight and avoid ambushes.
With 10 powerful warriors going in, it wouldn't matter even if there were ambushes. So what if Lu Li was in there?
How could he kill the ten supreme experts?
The Eighth Elder stayed outside to oversee the situation.
There were eight experts outside. Even if something were to happen, they would be able to stabilize the situation for a while.
With eight supreme experts and so many Saint Emperors, it shouldn't be a problem to hold out for a while, right?
The ten experts entered the pool and entered the secret realm through a hole at the bottom of the pool.
Looking at the experts entering one by one, nothing unexpected happened.
Outside, the Eighth Elder and the others felt relieved. It seemed that there was no problem here, and everything was normal.
It seemed that this secret base would be taken down very easily.
"Hum ~"
Suddenly, the entrance at the bottom of the pool rippled, and the lake water surged violently. Then, with a muffled explosion, the entrance actually exploded at that moment.
The lake water rose up and splashed on the warriors and powerful warriors around.
The warriors and powerful warriors were dumbfounded. They stared at the bottom of the lake, forgetting to dodge the pouring water.
"Oh no, we have fallen into a trap again —"
Patriarch Eight's mind was weighed down. He sensed something familiar. The other five powerful warriors that had been through the incident at the Fan City were taken aback as well. They could smell the scent of a conspiracy.
How could the entrance explode all of a sudden?
The entrances and exits of secret realms were usually stable and reinforced with divine patterns to prevent them from collapsing.
As soon as Patriarch Four and the others went in, the entrance exploded. How could it be such a coincidence?
During the battle at the Mist Mountain, there happened to be a secret realm nearby. Coincidentally, they captured a Saint Emperor Realm warrior and searched his soul to find out what was going on in the secret realm.
Also, most of the elite disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect were in the secret realm?
Now, the entrance exploded as soon as they went in?
Everything made Patriarch Eight and the others feel that this was a series of traps.
Just like what happened at the Fan City, everything was linked to each other, and the layout was far-reaching, leading them step by step into the trap.
At this moment, Patriarch Eight felt chills running down his spine as if he was being targeted by a viper.
Now that the entrance was destroyed, there was still a way to come back.
It was a simple solution. Patriarch Four and the others could blast open the barrier of the secret realm. Then, they could rush out into the void and come back to the Boundless Ruins.
But there was a problem!
Even if Patriarch Four and the others could come back as fast as they could, it would take them at least half a year.
During this half a year, they would be attacked by Lu Li and the others. Not long afterward, they would all die here.
If they left now, some of them might have a chance to make it back. But if they left, Lu Li would probably target Patriarch Four and the others.
What if there were other hidden passages in the secret realm?
By then, Patriarch Four and the others would lose their lives.
The Eighth Elder was at a loss, and fear took over his heart.
Lu Li was too horrifying. Instead of facing Lu Li, he would rather have 30 powerful warriors fight against 40. That way, he wouldn't be so panicked.
Lu Li was only at the initial stage of the Saint Emperor Realm, but he felt he was more horrifying than dozens of warriors who were infinitely close to the completion of the Saint Emperor Realm.
"Patriarch Eight, what should we do?"
A group of powerful warriors surrounded Patriarch Eight. They were confused and scared as well. They had never seen such a strange fight in their entire lives.
They felt they had entered an underground palace. There were paths everywhere, but when they pushed open any door, they sensed fatal danger.
There was no way out. They were in a dilemma.
Patriarch Eight forced himself to calm down. He took a deep breath and said, "Let the army leave here and guard nearby!"
A powerful warrior gave an order at once. The army left. That powerful warrior told the warriors nearby not to spread the news. Otherwise, they would be killed.
As a matter of fact, Patriarch Eight didn't care if the warriors' morale was shaken. He just didn't want the low-level warriors to see how embarrassed they were and how flustered he was.
"Let's see if we can blast open the entrance!"
Patriarch Eight said after some thoughts. Several powerful warriors took actions at once. They launched fierce attacks at the entrance.
However, there was not a single drop of water left in the pond. There was a deep pit at the bottom of the pond. Still, the entrance could not be reopened.
The entrance was a passageway connecting space. It was impossible to reopen it now that it had been destroyed.
The Eighth Elder weakly waved his hand, signaling the two supreme experts to stop. He sighed and said, "We have two choices. Either we retreat and go back, or we die.
Either we retreat or we stay here and wait for Patriarch Four to come out! "
Neither of the two options was good. The other powerful warriors looked at each other, confused. They didn't know what to do …
…
Master Three.
