Chapter 684: Secret Orders
"It shouldn't be difficult to escape smoothly."
"The actions of several fellow cultivators are clearly not spontaneous; they must have prepared a way out."
As they walked, Liu Yu casually replied.
Pausing briefly, he continued, "We don't need to worry about this. We should consider the impact of this incident on our alliance's tasks."
"After this incident, perhaps we've already startled the snakes, causing the Black Mountain Immortal Prison to heighten its vigilance."
The two spoke while walking, noticeably calmer compared to the panicked low-level cultivators.
Eventually, they disappeared at the end of the street.
They chose a hidden location to gather useful information nearby and sent a message while waiting for Yunxi and the others to arrive.
Time gradually passed.
As the last two days of a five-day deadline approached, core members disguised and concealing their cultivation levels began to arrive one after another at an inn in Luofu Market.
Just traveling, and relying on their rich experience, they naturally wouldn't encounter any dramatic plot twists.
Along the way, everything was calm.
...
Two days later, in an ordinary inn in Luofu Market, Liu Yu and ten others gathered again.
"Only about twenty-five days remain until the execution date."
"Daoist Gu Cheng, should we notify the elders immediately?"
After understanding the information, Liao Yunxi stood up and cupped her hands in salute.
She was one of the few golden core female cultivators among loose cultivators, rumored to be more decisive than many male cultivators, and her actions were quite bold.
"The fact that something like this happened so close to Luofu Market is likely to alert the Black Mountain Immortal Prison."
"Forget it, let's leave it to the elders to decide. What do you think, fellow cultivators?"
Raising his hand to signal for them to sit down, Liu Yu scanned the room and thought for a moment before speaking.
The risk of forcibly storming the prison was extremely high, and he obviously wanted to avoid it if possible, but ultimately it would still need the yuan ying elder's final decision.
Hearing this, Guo Poyun and the others nodded one after another.
No one expected such an incident to occur beforehand; whether to continue the action would still depend on the elders' opinions.
"Mm."
Seeing this, Liu Yu no longer hesitated. He immediately took out the Messaging Jade Token and began to contact Clear Water True Monarch.
After sending the message, the ten sat quietly around a large table, waiting for the elders' reply.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths…
"Buzz, buzz."
After about ten breaths, the Messaging Jade Token vibrated slightly.
Liu Yu quickly formed a spell gesture with his hand, sending a thread of spiritual consciousness into it to read the incoming message.
The next moment, he suddenly stood up:
"The elders have ordered, the action continues."
"We will set off immediately, heading close to the Black Mountain Immortal Prison!"
Despite the unfavorable conditions, the high-ranking members of the Cloth-Clad Alliance remained determined to continue this operation, which Liu Yu found somewhat perplexing.
"Could it be that those twenty-one golden core cultivators include some particularly important person?"
"For example, a descendant of a great cultivator, or perhaps a personal disciple?"
"Or is it that some members hold crucial secrets of the Purple Scarf Army that must not be relinquished easily?"
He speculated in his heart, but for the moment, he couldn't make any headway and could only act according to the message.
On one hand, Liu Yu had already boarded the war chariot of the Cloth-Clad Alliance, and it wasn't easy to step down.
On the other hand, having prepared several methods, even if he encountered yuan ying stage cultivators, he was confident he could retreat unscathed.
With the trump cards in hand, he was naturally calm and composed!
"Yes!"
Guo Poyun, Liao Yunxi, and the others cupped their hands in acknowledgment.
Though they were somewhat confused about the elders' command, they still chose to execute it out of long-standing trust.
