"Lord Hun San, what's wrong?"
Qin Cang asked, seeing Hun San's gloomy expression, unsure of the reason.
Hun San looked coldly at Qin Cang and said with icy disdain, "The Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation has been broken. What were your people doing?"
The Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation had a formation base at eight different locations, all guarded by the three major forces.
Under these circumstances, all eight formation bases were destroyed without them receiving any news. This was the dereliction of duty by the three major forces!
In his opinion, even a herd of wild boars would have a few escape when being hunted!
"Lord Hun San, we are indeed all responsible for such an incident!"
"But didn't you also say that the formation bases were composed of spiritual energy formations, and even Heavenly realm experts couldn't destroy them?"
"But now..."
Listening to Hun San's scolding, Sun Xu's face also turned very unpleasant. He said cautiously.
He found it unbearable that the other party would blame them when something went wrong.
*Slap!*
Before Sun Xu could finish speaking, Hun San flicked his hand, striking Sun Xu directly in the face and sending him flying.
"Sun Xu, you better be clear about your identity! Do you think you can refute what I say?"
Hun San said coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
With the great formation destroyed, all plans would certainly be impossible to implement. He was already frustrated enough, and now Sun Xu dared to retort, which truly made him unbearable.
Seeing Sun Xu's miserable state, Qin Cang quickly stepped forward and said carefully, "Lord Hun San, there are many experts in Misty Rain Tower. It's normal that we couldn't cope with their combined strength."
After a pause, seeing Sun Xu's expression darken further, he quickly continued, "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The most crucial thing is how to deal with this situation!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Liu Dingshan repeatedly agreed, "Lord Hun San, you give the orders. No matter what you say, we will carry it out to the end..."
Liu Dingshan understood that they had thoroughly offended Misty Rain Tower and other forces. Even if they surrendered, death might be their only fate.
Therefore, they could only follow Flying Cloud Pavilion and fight their way out!
Listening to Liu Dingshan and Qin Cang, Hun San's expression softened.
He was silent for a moment and said, "The subsequent plan is now impossible to complete. The only way is to retreat, return to our respective forces, and execute the previous plan..."
"Understood!"
Qin Cang and the other two responded, and then prepared to leave the tent.
After all, this place was not far from Misty Rain Tower. If the people from Misty Rain Tower caught up, it would be difficult for them to escape.
However, before they could reach the door, Hun San had already rushed out, leaving only the three words, "Scatter and go."
This...
Looking at Hun San's departing back, Qin Cang and the others' mouths twitched instantly.
He usually acted like a lord, but it turned out his greatest skill was running away. He had no general's demeanor at all, which was truly contemptible.
Although they inwardly despised Hun San, the three still followed Hun San's instructions and parted ways. As for their disciples, they were already unable to care for them.
In the forest.
Qin Cang rode his warhorse, accompanied by a few guards, quickly traversing the woods. Suddenly, the warhorse let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground.
Qin Cang reacted quickly and stood steadily on the ground.
However, when he looked up, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Three figures appeared before him, one man and two women.
The man was Ye Cangtian, and the women were Xue Qi and Bing Yao, originally disciples of Snow Peak.
These were the people Qin Cang least wanted to see at this moment.
It was one thing to have offended Ye Cangtian before, but now they had joined forces with Flying Cloud Pavilion to attack other forces. If he fell into Ye Cangtian's hands, his life would be worse than death.
Damn it, why was he so unlucky!
Of the three paths, why did he have to choose the one that led to Ye Cangtian!
Qin Cang muttered to himself, while Ye Cangtian showed a mocking smile on his face.
After destroying the eight formation bases, he began to search for Hun San's whereabouts.
Now, he hadn't found Hun San but had found the fleeing Qin Cang. It was truly fate.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "Isn't this Qin Cang? We really are fated!"
Looking at Ye Cangtian's smiling face, Qin Cang couldn't help but swallow his saliva, trying his best to maintain his composure.
"Ye Cangtian, we have no past grudges and no recent enmity. Could you leave me a way out?"
Qin Cang gritted his teeth and spoke. If a battle were to occur, his meager numbers would be no match for Ye Cangtian and his two companions, so he could only negotiate with them.
Indeed, they had robbed many forces in the past two days, but they had not robbed the Hidden Group and thus had no direct enmity with the Hidden Group.
Therefore, if they could negotiate peacefully, perhaps they could slip through.
"Heh heh, how can you say that?"
Ye Cangtian was immediately amused and continued, "You joined forces with Flying Cloud Pavilion to set up the Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation, which calculated all the forces and civilians within Misty Rain Tower!
In such a situation, you still say we have no enmity?"
This...
With that one sentence, Qin Cang instantly turned red in the face, finding it difficult to offer a defense.
After a moment of struggle, he finally braced himself and said, "We did join forces with Flying Cloud Pavilion, but the formation was set up by Flying Cloud Pavilion. We only robbed other forces, so we should be treated differently from Flying Cloud Pavilion!"
"Heh heh, this is the biggest joke I've heard today!"
Ye Cangtian sneered and continued, "How about this? You come back to Misty Rain Tower with me. If other forces agree to treat you differently, I won't object. What do you think?"
Uh...
Qin Cang was stunned for a moment, speechless.
It was now obvious that all the forces hated them to the bone. If he were to go back, it would surely be a death sentence.
After a long while, he looked at Ye Cangtian again and said, "Ye Cangtian, I am willing to give you all the treasures I have, just for you to spare me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Cangtian directly extended his hand, interrupting him.
Then Ye Cangtian said, "It's useless. No amount of treasures can save your life!
Your actions this time are no different from those of evil forces, so I'm sorry, but you must pay the price for everything you have done!"
*Clang!*
Hearing Ye Cangtian's resolute words, Qin Cang instantly drew his long sword.
Since the other party was not giving him a way out, even though he knew he was outmatched, he had to fight for himself.
"Disciples of Snow Peak, obey my orders! We have no other way out. Those who wish to live, follow me and fight our way out!"
As Qin Cang's voice fell, the few remaining nine disciples of Snow Peak instantly drew their weapons.
"Xue Qi, Bing Yao."
Ye Cangtian glanced at the two beside him, then his figure flashed, moving to the side and lighting a cigarette.
The matters of Snow Peak were naturally best left to the two women.
Xue Qi and Bing Yao instantly understood Ye Cangtian's intentions. The next moment, Xue Qi stepped forward.
"Qin Cang! Don't you confess and submit!"
"As the acting peak master, you led Snow Peak to defect to Flying Cloud Pavilion. You are human, yet you chose to be a dog! You are simply a disgrace to Snow Peak!"
"Furthermore, since its establishment, Snow Peak has always been a righteous sect. You colluded with Flying Cloud Pavilion and committed such heinous acts. How do you deserve to live!"
Xue Qi's voice echoed. Qin Cang was stunned by her words.
He had no words to refute.
In the past, although Snow Peak was not as good as peak forces, it was still considered top-tier among first-rate forces. Even peak forces had to give them some face.
But now that Snow Peak had fallen into his hands, it had become someone else's dog, and even the disciples of Flying Cloud Pavilion did not take them seriously.
Having declined to this extent, he was indeed responsible!
But even so, he could not admit it, because he wanted to live.
After a moment, Qin Cang pointed his sword at Xue Qi and said coldly, "Xue Qi, you are no longer a disciple of Snow Peak and have no right to meddle in Snow Peak's affairs! If you don't leave, don't blame me for disregarding our past feelings!"
"You dare to be rude to me?"
"What a huge joke!"
Xue Qi sneered. The other party was like a monkey becoming king in the absence of a tiger. He was just a commander, and now that he had become an acting peak master, he truly thought of himself as important.
"Good, since you are ungrateful, then don't blame me!"
Qin Cang's face immediately darkened upon hearing this, and he directly ordered the guards to attack.
After he became the acting peak master, his cultivation had greatly increased with the support of Snow Peak's resources.
Even if he couldn't deal with Ye Cangtian, taking down Xue Qi was not a problem, so he charged forward.
Intending to capture Xue Qi and threaten Ye Cangtian...
