Chapter 159: My Plan Failed, It Is Heaven

Ye Lin's clone's voice was firm, and his eyes were burning with high fighting spirit.

Just as everyone was still immersed in shock, they suddenly felt like a gust of wind suddenly brushed across their faces.

Then a figure appeared on the battlefield below.

That figure held two short daggers, and the speed was heart-stopping. Between the flying, he actually directly dismembered several monsters!

"Little ladies of Qingcheng, don't worry! When there is no danger, I, Guo Qin, am the biggest danger, but when there is danger

With Guo Qin's speed, the monsters below were killed before they could even react to what had happened.

These two sudden arrivals left everyone in Qingcheng in a state of shock.

"These two... what terrifying strength. I'm afraid they are top-tier even across all of Qingcheng, right? Why haven't we seen them before?"

"That scarred man said he was entrusted by Mr. Student Zhuge... Is Mr. Student Zhuge still concerned about Qingcheng even after his death?"

"Are we... are we saved?"

A glimmer of light appeared in everyone's eyes, and the name of that light was hope!

After Guo Qin and Ye Lin's clone appeared, they didn't say a word and charged straight into the center of the beast tide.

Guo Qin's figure was like the wind and his blade like a ray of light, carving a bloody path through the monsters, while the tip of Ye Lin's Blazing Flame Staff ignited with purple-red karmic fire, which he unleashed directly with a "Karmic Fire Incinerates the Heavens."

Once touched by the karmic fire, there was no escape; many monsters, overcome by pain, crashed into each other, spreading the karmic fire to the monsters beside them.

The addition of the two was like an adrenaline shot to everyone present; they instantly regained their fighting spirit and began to strike back.

The people of Qingcheng actually showed signs of faintly suppressing the beast horde!

And after these two appeared, Xie Hong's men were also watching this side.

"Are you sure it's them?" Xie Hong asked in a cold voice.

"That's right! The files retrieved from the Qingcheng Investigation Bureau have records that this Ling Ye is extremely skilled in fire-type spells and can even summon karmic fire. A small-time thug in Qingcheng named Kensen died at Ling Ye's hands." The person wearing the rat-faced mask nodded.

"Move!"

"Yes!"

Twelve black-robed figures wearing masks instantly rushed out from behind Xie Hong!

If any outsider saw this scene, they would surely be dumbfounded, because the speed of these twelve people was not much slower than Guo Qin's!

The twelve people were like twelve meteors, charging straight toward the dense mass of monsters.

And when those terrifying monsters faced these twelve people, they were actually sent flying into the sky, unable to block them in the slightest!

This shocking scene instantly drew gasps of amazement from the people of Qingcheng.

"Who are those dozen people? Are they also a contingency left behind by Mr. Student Zhuge before he died?"

"I don't know! But they look terrifyingly strong!"

"No! Look! Those dozen people aren't even attacking the monsters; they're just using their own strength to physically knock the monsters aside!"

"What on earth are they trying to do?"

The suddenly appearing mysterious figures left everyone in Qingcheng completely bewildered, and Ye Lin's true body on the city wall couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. The strength of these guys was even more terrifying than he had anticipated; no wonder Guo Qin was so opposed to this at the beginning!

Relying on his true body's high-altitude vantage point on the city wall, Ye Lin began to control his clone to play hide-and-seek with the twelve mysterious figures amidst the dense swarm of monsters.

Before this clone completely vanished, he had to use these twelve people to consume as many monsters as possible!

What Guo Qin was doing at this moment was similar to Ye Lin; he didn't have Ye Lin's vision, so he dove straight into the deepest part of the monster swarm.

They had planned it from the start: Guo Qin would not return to Qingcheng but would charge straight into the wilderness.

With his speed, returning to Qingcheng would only make it easier to be caught like a turtle in a jar.

Under the sweep of those twelve mysterious figures, the dense swarm of monsters was instantly scattered, and the pressure on the people of Qingcheng plummeted.

The monsters could only let out angry roars, but they had no way to deal with those twelve people.

But the good times didn't last long; soon, Ye Lin's clone was the first to have all his escape routes cut off, as six masked men surrounded him within the monster swarm.

"You're pretty good at running and hiding, aren't you? Why don't you keep running and hiding?" The rat-faced masked man gave a cold laugh.

"Hmph! Do you think you can catch me?"

A look of madness appeared in the eyes of Ye Lin's clone, and then strands of star chains connected to his body, causing his body to begin to swell like a constantly inflating balloon.

"My plan failed, it is fate! Mr. Student Zhuge, Ling Ye has failed your trust! Guo Qin, everything is left to you!" Ye Lin's clone roared.

"Holy crap! Is a worker's life not a life?"

On the other side, Guo Qin, who was being chased around by the other six masked men, almost got angry enough to turn back and punch Ye Lin upon hearing this. Wasn't this just drawing aggro to him?

"Not good, he's going to self-destruct, stop him!" The rat-faced masked man exclaimed, preparing to intervene.

Unfortunately, he was not Student Zhuge Qianxing; the rat-faced masked man could not stop this self-destruction!

A blinding pillar of light shot into the sky, evaporating and dissipating all the surrounding clouds. After everyone saw the blinding glare, a loud "Boom—" followed immediately!

The terrifying explosion annihilated everything nearby; monsters that were too close were blown to pieces, and a circular crater several dozen meters deep was left on the ground.

Yet even so, when the dust and smoke dissipated, the six masked men, aside from looking a bit disheveled and covered in dust, had actually suffered no injuries at all.

"Damn it... this kid is actually this fearless of death! Go! Chase the one who's afraid of dying!"

The six masked men who had taken the brunt of the clone's self-destruction cursed and turned to chase after Guo Qin.

Everyone finally realized that these masked men were not here to help them at all! In fact, one could say these masked men were also their enemies!

Ye Lin's true body on the city wall couldn't help but narrow his eyes. A level 43 Forbidden Spellcaster's full-power self-destruction couldn't even injure a single one of them? Just how terrifying must the strength of these guys be?

However, the first step of the plan had been achieved. Next, he had to assist Guo Qin in escaping; after all, what Guo Qin had to face next was the encirclement and interception of twelve masked men!

But Ye Lin had confidence in Guo Qin. As long as he let his clone self-destruct to carve out a path for Guo Qin, those twelve people couldn't possibly catch up to a Guo Qin who was intent on fleeing. As a Forbidden Spellcaster, Ye Lin was proficient in several types of self-destruction.

Just as Ye Lin was preparing to take action and have another clone rush out to support Guo Qin, a hysterical roar rang out.

"Ling Ye!!!"

"I want all of you to be buried with him!"
