Chapter 508: Continuing Like This Is No Solution

However, these shadow figures were extremely powerful, their attacks sharp and fierce. Li An and Laxas gradually fell into a predicament, and wounds began to appear on their bodies.

"Damn it, these guys are harder to deal with than we imagined," Laxas said through gritted teeth, a pained expression on his face.

Li An frowned; he knew that continuing like this was no solution. He began to carefully observe the enemies' attack patterns, searching for their weaknesses.

Just then, he spotted a tiny flaw in one shadow figure's attack. His heart leaped with joy; he knew the opportunity had arrived. "Laxas, focus your attack on that guy!" he shouted loudly.

Laxas immediately understood Li An's meaning. Together with Li An, he concentrated all their power on that shadow figure. Under their powerful assault, the shadow figure was finally defeated.

With the fall of that shadow figure, the attacks of the other shadow figures became chaotic. Li An and Laxas seized the opportunity to launch an attack, finally driving all the shadow figures back.

They successfully infiltrated the castle and found some crucial intelligence about the dark forces there. "This intelligence is very important to us," Li An said, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

When they returned to the Daogong Society, the society members all gathered around. "How is it? Are you okay?" Guo Yao asked anxiously, tears shimmering in her eyes; seeing Li An return safely, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li An smiled and shook his head. "We are fine. Moreover, we also found some important intelligence." He handed the intelligence to Guild Master Makarov.

After Guild Master Makarov finished reading the intelligence, his expression became even more grave. "It seems the crisis we face is more serious than imagined." Worry and concern were revealed in his eyes.

However, the society members did not retreat because of this. "No matter how powerful the enemy is, we will not be afraid!" Natsu shouted loudly, his voice filled with fighting spirit.

"Yes, we are the Weibagong Society! We will surely overcome all difficulties!" the other members shouted in unison, their voices echoing through the society hall, filled with power and determination.

Inside the Weibagong Society hall, warm sunlight streamed through the stained-glass windows, spilling onto the wooden floor and forming patches of mottled light and shadow. Society members chatted in small groups or sat alone in corners polishing weapons; the air was filled with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. However, this tranquility was instantly shattered by a sudden, urgent alarm.

"What's going on?" Natsu suddenly jumped up from his seat, the grilled fish in his hand nearly falling to the ground. His fiery red hair swayed slightly with the movement, his brows knitted tightly together, his eyes full of vigilance and confusion.

"The dark forces have come! They learned our stronghold was destroyed by us and have launched a massive attack of 770!" Lucy ran in in panic, clutching her Celestial Spirit Keys tightly, her face pale as paper, fine beads of sweat covering her forehead.

Upon hearing this, Li An's eyes instantly became sharp as an eagle's. He quickly stood up and shouted loudly, "Everyone, don't panic! Immediately enter defensive positions!" His voice echoed through the hall like a great bell, filled with a reassuring power.

Guo Yao walked nervously to Li An's side, her hands instinctively grabbing his arm, her voice trembling slightly. "Li An, what should we do?" Worry and fear were revealed in her eyes, but even more so was her trust in Li An.
