Chapter 832: Same Result
When they arrived there, Qiong Qi and Ye Liuyun were already present.
"Sure enough, the outpost commander betrayed again!" Ye Liuyun also began to admire Qiong Qi.
Qiong Qi laughed, "That was inevitable! But he would never dare to reveal our arrangement!"
"So what do we do now?" Ye Liuyun asked Qiong Qi.
"Wait, wait for the Chang Family to track them down, wait for them to return to the outpost to rest!" Qiong Qi said confidently.
When Tianhuang and his group arrived at Ye Liuyun's place, they immediately sent people in to capture Ye Liuyun.
But those who went in never emerged; they were all swallowed by the Formation.
Before they could send more people in, a large force from the Chang Family charged in. Though the Chang Family is now weak, they still have Elders of the Sixfold Creation.
After all, a starved camel is still larger than a horse. This is the Chang Family's home ground.
The Chang Family gathered many Elders, leading over a hundred disciples, and surrounded the Lie Mo Sect members.
"Is there some misunderstanding between us?" Tianhuang still adopted a problem‑solving attitude, trying to communicate with the Chang Family.
"Misunderstanding? Do you think we're all fools? Kill them!" With a single command from the leading Elder, the Chang Family disciples all charged forward.
"I think the Chang Family people are already abnormal now," Ye Liuyun said to Qiong Qi.
Qiong Qi laughed, "Even if they were normal, this kind of thing is hard to untangle. The Chang Family is a major local power; they're used to saving face. Even if they wanted to resolve the issue, they would first take these Lie Mo Sect members back. And those people could never go back with them to the Chang Family."
Ye Liuyun nodded, unable not to admire Qiong Qi's extensive experience.
"In fact, whether they come to you first, or head to the outpost first, or attack the Chang Family first, the outcome is the same! The only difference is the manner of death!" Qiong Qi said confidently.
Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and also nodded in agreement.
"Can we clarify the situation before taking action?" Tianhuang continued, speaking to the confronting Chang Family Elders.
"Fine. Surrender and we can negotiate; otherwise, go die!" Several Chang Family Elders acted in unison, attacking Tianhuang.
They've been too suppressed lately, desperate to find a soft target to squeeze and vent their anger.
"You're overstepping! Do you really think I'm scared of you!" Tianhuang kept yielding, trying to investigate the matter.
But the Chang Family people simply refused to talk, so in helplessness they had to start killing. Otherwise, their own people would suffer heavy losses.
In just a short while, several disciples had already been slashed apart by the Chang Family.
Facing the Chang Family Elders' assault, Tianhuang showed no fear; Demon Qi erupted within, exuding an evil aura.
"The scent of the Foreign Tribe? These Demon Cultivators have defected to them! Kill them!"
The Chang Family now felt even more justified. Some Elders even sent disciples to inform the Commandery Prince.
In sect disputes, the Commandery Prince wouldn't intervene lightly. But with the Foreign Tribe's appearance, he had to make a statement.
In fact, Tianhuang already knew Ye Liuyun's and Qiong Qi's moves inside out. He knew they were the ones causing trouble, framing the Chang Family and the Lie Mo Sect.
"It seems the Lie Mo Sect really is linked to the Foreign Tribe!"
The Commandery Prince immediately ordered layered blockades on Eagle Beak Island, and told his subordinates: "Let them fight first; don't intervene yet. But make sure no Lie Mo Sect member escapes Eagle Beak Island."
"Yes!" several of his generals replied, then immediately split up to set up the blockades.
Tianhuang and a few Chang Family Elders clashed without falling behind, even managing to wound two Martial Cultivators of the First and Second Layers of Sixfold Creation.
But the Elders and disciples he brought weren't that strong; most had already fallen in pools of blood.
Tianhuang couldn't help but worry: "That Golden Pupil kid hasn't been captured yet, and the casualties are already heavy; we might return empty‑handed."
"Elder Tianhuang, we can't hold out! They outnumber us!" another Elder under him urged.
"Alright, we'll retreat to the outpost, retake it first, and regroup there."
Tianhuang's group wasn't familiar with Eagle Beak Island, only knowing the outpost. So Tianhuang cut off, and the others rushed toward the outpost.
"Block them; let none escape!" the Chang Family Elder shouted, leading his men to pursue them.
Chang Family members stationed before the outpost formed a defensive line, intercepting Tianhuang's party.
A few Elders beside Tianhuang tore a gap in the Chang Family's interception force and led their men into the outpost.
The outpost's overseer originally wanted to dissuade Tianhuang from entering, but the Chang Family's pursuit was so tight that if they didn't go in, they'd be killed.
"At worst I surrender again! Since Tianhuang's group has entered, they can't get out. No one will know I betrayed the Lie Mo Sect."
So he gritted his teeth, and instead of warning Tianhuang, he charged in with Tianhuang's group.
Tianhuang had also hesitated about entering, but faced with the fierce assault of several Chang Family Elders, he had no time to deliberate and joined the others into the outpost.
The Chang Family, seeing them go inside and aware of the Formation inside, ceased pursuit and simply surrounded the outpost.
Qiong Qi and Ye Liuyun had already returned to the outpost via the Teleportation Array, waiting quietly for Tianhuang's party to take the bait.
"Ha ha, my plan isn't bad, right!" As soon as Tianhuang's group entered, Qiong Qi's laughter rang out.
"Impressive!" Ye Liuyun also bowed in admiration.
"First eliminate them, then you collect Soul and perform Soul Search!" Qiong Qi immediately activated the massive attack Formation to prevent any mishap.
Tianhuang's party had already expended much energy, and now facing nine fire dragons, they could no longer hold on.
The outpost overseer shouted loudly to Qiong Qi: "Fire Master! I've already brought Tianhuang in, you can't kill me!"
"Ha ha, what are you thinking, do you not know what you're doing?" Qiong Qi sneered, having no intention of sparing him.
"You traitor!" Tianhuang heard that, instantly understood, and smacked him dead with a palm.
"Who are you that you dare oppose our Lie Mo Sect? Aren't you afraid of our retaliation?" Tianhuang, not seeing Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi outside, couldn't match the faces.
"The Chang Family wants to wipe out your Lie Mo Sect; are you still afraid our revenge won't work? No matter how strong your Lie Mo Sect is, it's only in Moyu. How dare you provoke us on Eagle Beak Island?" Qiong Qi mocked, imitating the Chang Family's tone.
"Chang Family? What exact grudge do you hold against our Lie Mo Sect?" Tianhuang asked, puzzled.
"Your defection to the Foreign Tribe has been exposed! Those cursed corpses are proof. Now it's not just us Chang Family; the whole Eagle Beak Island will eradicate you!" Qiong Qi continued rambling to Tianhuang.
Hearing that, Tianhuang's heart jolted. "Exposed!"
