spooky invasion

Chapter 1547 Counterattack
problem occurs!
Lord Hongyuan, a veteran of many battles, threw the head to the ground in anger. His face turned ashen and his eyes were uncertain as he thought about something.

What went wrong? It should be impossible for Atan and Miaodi to have a problem with their double reconnaissance. After all, they were two guys who were good at reconnaissance, so they wouldn't make a mistake even for a living person like Tongye.

Even a novice wouldn't make this kind of low-level mistake.

Tongye must have predicted their prediction and deliberately set up confusion to trick them.

If that was the case, who was the hunter and who was the prey in tonight's game would be another matter. Could it be that Miao Di was right?
At this moment, a sense of foreboding flashed through Lord Hongyuan's heart.

He spent so much effort and spiritual energy to set up this abyss formation, the original intention was to trap the copper coconut. If the copper coconut's true body was not inside, then his efforts would be in vain. The spiritual energy consumed would also be wasted, which meant that he had lost half of his chance at the start.

The most crucial thing is that if this is a trap deliberately set up by Tongye, all this may have just begun. Who will be whose nightmare will depend on the subsequent competition.

……

After Miao Di killed those servants, everything went very smoothly. The performance of the Sky Devouring Beast did not surprise her. When dealing with these servants with low-to-medium combat power, Miao Di did not think she would fail.

According to Lord Hongyuan's instructions, whoever completes the task first between her and Atan will be responsible for helping the other and cooperating to complete the unfinished task of the other.

Then they would go together to help Lord Hongyuan. If Lord Hongyuan and his men had not killed Tongye by then, the five of them would strangle Tongye together and would not give Tongye any chance to escape.

Miao Di used the Heaven-Devouring Beast to kill these servants separately. Nothing unexpected happened and everything was accomplished very easily.

The next step, naturally, was for her to meet up with Atan.

Although the mansion is large, it is not a maze after all. Miao Di quickly locked onto Atan's position. Miao Di quickly closed in on that side.

She also sensed that Lord Hongyuan had already taken action. Considering her previous poor psychological preparation, she just wanted to quickly meet up with Atan, and then quickly gather with the main force to kill Tongye together, so as to avoid more trouble. Although the success in the early stage reduced her worries a little, she did not dare to take it lightly.

"Atan, is everything going well here? Did you find anything unusual?"

When she saw Atan, Miaodi took the initiative to greet him and asked.

Atan said: "What could be unusual? It's just cleaning up some small fish. Are you okay?"

"It went very smoothly, but it was a little too smooth."

Atan smiled and said, "Smooth means no accidents. How can there be such a thing as too smooth? You are still so suspicious."

Miao Di frowned and said, "I hope everything is fine, but I don't know why, I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, as if something bad is going to happen."

Atan said: "I think I'm overthinking. How are the others doing?"

"Lord Hongyuan has already cast the Abyss Formation. If Tongye is still in the bedroom, he will definitely be trapped by the Abyss Formation. Let's go over and help. We can't give him any chance to escape."

"What are you waiting for?"

Miao Di was worried and nodded: "Let's go!"

As she turned around, she suddenly felt a force hit her from behind. After a slight hesitation, she wanted to turn around to check the situation, but was suddenly surprised to find that her body seemed to be under some kind of evil spell. The simple action of turning around was as if her body weighed a thousand gold coins and she couldn't turn it at all.

Miao Di turned around with difficulty and looked at Atan behind her in disbelief. She obviously realized that Atan had plotted against her.

But...why is this?
The five assassins have been working together for so many years. Although they cannot be said to be as close as brothers and sisters, they are definitely close comrades-in-arms and people whom they can trust.

Miao Di did have a strong intuition that something might happen tonight, but she never suspected that the problem could be with one of her own people.
She couldn't understand why Atan would backstab her. You know, Atan had always been secretly in love with her, and there was even some affection between them. Even though they hadn't revealed it yet, they both knew it and tacitly acknowledged it.

The most unlikely thing to happen happened.

However, she didn't have the chance to ask why, because the next second, her life was gone. She didn't even have the chance to summon the Sky Devouring Beast.

After Atan killed Miao Di, there was no expression on his face.

At this moment, two people walked out of the void. They were Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing. They said to Atan, "Tongye, if you hadn't listened to us and stayed in the bedroom, you would have been trapped by now."

This Atan was actually Jiang Yuegongmi Zhufu, disguised using the copying skill.

The real Atan was killed by Jiang Yue and his men in the first place.

In this way, two of the five assassins were killed. As for the "copper coconut" in the bedroom, it was naturally a scapegoat found by Jiang Yue and his men.

Tongye was a ruthless man. In order to make the play realistic enough, he did not protect any of his servants and servants, and watched them being destroyed.

In Tongye's opinion, these people were recruited temporarily by him, and some were even assigned to him by Taiyi Academy, so they were not very loyal to him.

As for his personal followers, he valued them the most. Now trapped in the abyss magic circle, Tong Ye was extremely anxious.

It’s just that he now needs a favor from Jiang Yue and the others, but it’s not convenient to urge them.

These followers were his confidants, and he still relied on them. Over the years, he had developed some feelings for them. The most important thing was that their strength was still useful and they could assist him to a certain extent.

Unlike the servants who were killed, they were real tools, coming for his wealth and status.

"You continue to pretend to be Atan, Jingjing, you will pretend to be Miaodi. I will secretly control the Sky Devouring Beast to attack Banba. Kill Banba first, and you guys wait and see if you can get rid of Pabo. As for Lord Hongyuan, I will deal with him last."

"Of course, it depends on the situation of the war. If there is a suitable opportunity, we can kill Lord Hongyuan first. It is not necessarily a bad idea to capture the leader first."

In a head-on confrontation, Jiang Yue and his three companions were actually strong enough to fight against the five assassins. But if they fought, it would be a huge show, thus exposing their strength.

It even attracted some masters from Taiyi Academy to come and watch.

There are better ways to end this battle, and Jiang Yue certainly won't choose to fight head-on.

As for controlling the Sky Devouring Beasts, it was a piece of cake for Jiang Yue. Dark Aria had the ability to control, and the Sky Stealing Nine Techniques also had the Great Puppet Technique, so controlling a few Sky Devouring Beasts was not difficult.

In this way, Jiang Yue was in the dark, Han Jingjing and Tong Ye were in the light, and they quickly rushed towards the area where Lord Hongyuan was.

Lord Hongyuan soon noticed that Atan and Miaodi were coming over, and a smile appeared on his face. As expected, he was assured of the work of these two people.

The anger at being fooled subsided a little.

When Han Jingjing and Tongye arrived, Lord Hongyuan was angrily throwing away the fake head, and he had not yet had time to calm down.

Han Jingjing asked knowingly: "Sir, what happened?"

When Pa Bo saw Atan and Miaodi coming side by side, and especially saw that they seemed to have a close relationship, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he felt a little jealous.

He wanted to show off in front of Miao Di, so he took the initiative to say, "I just went to the bedroom you guys scouted and cut off Tongye's head. Who would have thought it was a fake! Atan, what do you do for a living? Your information is wrong, and it's totally wrong! The man in the bedroom is not Tongye himself! He fooled you, and you fooled all of us!"

In fact, the mistake in reconnaissance was not only caused by Atan, but also by Miaodi. However, Pa Bo was obviously targeting Atan, but he was protecting Miaodi in his words and deeds.

Atan was Tongye. He was a tough guy and said coldly, "Don't doubt my ability to detect. Who knows whose head you chopped off? The person is alive. Maybe he has changed by now? Do you think Tongye can become a Grand Secretary with a purple gold ribbon? Don't you have this bit of vigilance?"

This immediately angered Pa Bo: "What do you mean? I clearly entered his bedroom and checked it carefully before beheading him. How could I be wrong?"

"Since you identified the body before beheading it, what does that have to do with my reconnaissance?" Atan responded sharply, refusing to give in at all.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing."

Miao Di stepped forward to smooth things over: "Perhaps Tong Ye played a trick to switch the two, but in any case, as long as they are in the Abyss Array, there is nothing to worry about."

Atan asked Lord Hongyuan, "Lord, how many people are still alive in the magic circle?"

Hong Yuan said: "If I am not mistaken, there should be Tong Ye and his eight followers, as well as the hydraulic engineer and his followers. The head that was swapped could be one of the followers?"

Pa Bo said provocatively: "Atan, you can't avoid taking the blame for your poor reconnaissance, right? Come with me into the magic circle and take a look."

Miao Di frowned and said, "Pa Bo, stop making trouble. Your Fu Bo tribe is good at moving in the abyss rapids, and Atan is a nine-tailed tribe, and is not good at moving in the abyss magic circle."

When Pa Bo saw Miao Di speaking for Atan, he became more jealous.

"Lord Hongyuan, the Abyss Formation has trapped them for so long, they must be exhausted. Why don't we close the formation, and Atan and I will go and scout again, so that no one will think I'm taking advantage of them."

The trapping power of the Abyss Formation was indeed extraordinary. Lord Hongyuan thought for a moment, nodded, and ordered: "Miao Di, set up your Sky Devouring Beast as well. If they are not trapped to death and want to take the opportunity to escape, they must be stopped as soon as possible."

Miao Di smiled slightly: "Don't worry, they have been trapped in the magic circle for so long, I'm afraid they only have one breath left, even if they are alive, they are dying. My Sky Devouring Beast just swallowed some low-level servants, and its appetite has just been opened. It would be a good deal if it could eat a few masters."

"Well, don't underestimate the enemy." Lord Hongyuan actually wanted to withdraw the magic circle. After all, maintaining such a huge abyss magic circle would consume a lot of his spiritual power.

He had to maintain the formation by himself, and although he was not exhausted so quickly, he could feel his spiritual energy draining away rapidly.

Considering that the Abyss Formation had been in place for such a long time, the people trapped inside should have fallen down. So he took advantage of the situation and put away the Abyss Formation.

Pa Bo called out to Atan fiercely: "What do you think? Are you going or not?"

Atan curled his lips: "Who is afraid of who?"

If it was just Pa Bo, Tong Ye wouldn't be afraid. Among the five assassins, the only one who had the strength to fight him one-on-one was Hong Yuan.

As for the other four, Tongye thought he was stronger than them. Especially for a fool like Pa Bo, he was even less afraid.

Just wait and see how I kill you. Tongye cursed inwardly and followed Pa Bo.

Lord Hongyuan glanced at Miao Di and said with a wry smile, "Miao Di, you are really a beauty who brings disaster. Look how angry Brother Pa Bo is. I want to tell you what is going on between you and Atan? Can it work out? If you don't have any ideas, you can consider Brother Pa Bo. Although this guy is a little simple-minded, he is very talented. The key is that you can control him. Atan is smart and cunning, you may not be able to control him, right?"

Lord Hongyuan is also from the Fubo clan, so naturally he spoke to Pa Bo, who is also from the Fubo clan.

Miao Di was now disguised as Han Jingjing. She smiled and said, "Sir, we are facing a powerful enemy. You should stop messing around with other people, right?"

Lord Hongyuan laughed and said thoughtfully, "But Atan was a little abnormal today. If it were in the past, the two of them would definitely argue fiercely. He would never give in to Pa Bo."

Miao Di asked, "He didn't let me climb the wave just now, did he?"

Lord Hongyuan frowned and said, "How should I put it? Although he was also sharp-tongued, his temper today was indeed a little different from his past. It seems that this kid also knows the importance of things."

"People have to mature!"

Hong Yuan suddenly asked again: "You said earlier that you had a bad premonition. Do you still have that feeling now?"

Miao Di nodded: "This intuition has not completely disappeared yet. Sir, could it be that this Tong Ye has already escaped? Or, he simply set up a trap here and waited for us?"

Hong Yuan had never believed in this possibility before. He couldn't help but feel a little worried at this moment, but he still shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Tong Ye doesn't have this kind of appeal. He is useless in Taiyi Academy. Who would set up such a big plan for him? Who can he invite? The chief academician of Taiyi Academy is eager to kill him..."

"Perhaps, the chief academician feels that with a powerful enemy at hand, the surface war needs talents like Tongye? Especially now that Taiyi Academy is in internal strife, the status of Tongye, the academician with a purple gold ribbon, will also rise and become more important, right?"

Hong Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, and said cautiously: "If they don't find any trace of the copper coconut in there, we will retreat immediately!"
