Serpent Ancestor
Chapter 538: Facing enemies on all sides

Sun Wuxiang is placing a heavy bet on Xu Hei.

His address for Xu Hei changed to Elder Xu, indicating that he now considers Xu Hei one of his own.

Of course, Xu Hei couldn't fully trust someone he barely knew, and even if he trusted Sun Wuxiang, he couldn't trust the other elders of the Yan Dao Sect.

However, at the moment, this was indeed an effective plan to escape.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Hei nodded and said, "Let's do as you say."

Sun Wuxiang nodded and immediately began to act.

He took out a formation disk, pressed it onto the ground, and inserted numerous formation flags around it.

In an instant, a complex pattern of formation lines spread out beneath their feet, crisscrossing from the formation disk and connecting all the formation flags.

Outsiders couldn't make sense of it, but the elders of the Yan Dao Sect were all shocked, rushing forward and exclaiming, "Sun Wuxiang, what are you doing? Have you gone mad?"

"Stand back, I know what I'm doing!" Sun Wuxiang said sternly.

Everyone could see that Sun Wuxiang intended to use the teleportation array to send Xu Hei away.

Rescuing Xu Hei meant thoroughly offending both the Ancient Tomb Sect and the Tianhen Sword Sect!

The Tianhen Sword Sect didn't matter as they already had enmity. But the Ancient Tomb Sect was also a super sect, and making such an enemy for an outsider was truly not worth it!

Moreover, many were eyeing Xu Hei, including the Blood Refining Sect, all waiting for them to make a mistake. As soon as they had an excuse, they would certainly attack en masse.

"This must be reported to the Grand Elder, we can't let him act recklessly!"

An elder in a Daoist robe took out a communication talisman and quickly sent a message to the Grand Elder in the Central Plains.

As Sun Wuxiang performed the spell, about an hour later, an extremely complex formation was completed before them.

"Elder Xu, when you get there, don't act rashly. Wait for me to return before doing anything," Sun Wuxiang reminded.

Xu Hei nodded, then stepped into the center of the formation.

He had seen teleportation arrays a few times and had some understanding of their structure.

Sun Wuxiang wasn't deceiving him; this was indeed a teleportation array.

Xu Hei had considered the possibility of Sun Wuxiang betraying him, but staying behind to face so many enemies was worse than going to the Yan Dao Sect. Even if they intended to harm him, it would only be one opponent.

This was the result of Xu Hei's careful consideration.

"The Tianhen Sword Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect are already at odds with me, the Blood Refining Sect also has ill intentions, and Jiang Nine Phoenix, judging by her state, likely fought me once. Once she recovers, she won't let me go."

"Staying here means facing enemies on all sides; it's better to go to the Yan Dao Sect."

Xu Hei made his decision.

"Buzz!"

The light of the formation enveloped him, and the space around him began to ripple violently.

Everyone sensed the change and locked onto him, their expressions changing drastically.

"Not good! The little thief is escaping!"

"The Yan Dao Sect is helping him escape!"

"Quick, stop him!"

In an instant, chaos erupted. The Ancient Tomb Sect, the Tianhen Sword Sect, and even the Blood Refining Sect all attacked simultaneously, aiming their spells and magical treasures at Xu Hei.

The sky darkened, violent forces raged, terrifying winds swept in all directions, destroying everything as they surged toward Xu Hei.

With so many attacks, if they landed, Xu Hei would be doomed regardless of his strength!

"Buzz!!"

The space around Xu Hei twisted, light flashed, and he vanished on the spot.

When the attacks landed, they only struck empty space, destroying the teleportation array completely, leaving nothing behind.

"He escaped!" Elder Wen exclaimed in anger and shock.

"Damn it!" Qingyunzi's face turned black with rage, shouting, "Sun Wuxiang, what is the meaning of this? Harboring a criminal and blatantly sending him away, do you intend to oppose the world?"

Xiong Yan chimed in, "In my opinion, we should march to the Central Plains and flatten the Yan Dao Sect. My Blood Refining Sect is willing to lend a hand."

When the wall falls, everyone pushes.

The Blood Refining Sect usually had no grievances with them, but now they jumped in to fan the flames.

Perhaps Xiong Yan, having been severely injured and gained nothing, had nowhere to vent his anger and found a random excuse to get involved.

"Yan Dao Sect, you brought this upon yourselves!" Elder Wen said coldly.

The members of the Yan Dao Sect looked ashen, their spirits sinking to the bottom.

Sun Wuxiang said nothing, leaving the meteorite crater as quickly as possible, heading toward the Central Plains.

"Trying to leave?"

Xiong Yan attacked directly, shooting five finger bones from his fingers at Sun Wuxiang. The finger bones emitted a pitch-black light, clearly something sinister, and even a slight touch would cause severe injury.

"Clang, clang, clang!!"

Suddenly, a cold blade light flashed, precisely slicing the five finger bones into countless fragments, turning them into nothingness.

A purple-haired man stood in the middle, carrying a rusty large blade, looking unremarkable. It was Han Te.

"Friend Sun, a deal's a deal. You gave me ten million, so I have to deliver. As for my debt with Xu Hei, that's another matter."

Han Te said leisurely, carrying his large blade.

"Thank you."

Sun Wuxiang cupped his hands in thanks, then swiftly left.

Han Te was a shrewd man; how could he give up on Xu Hei's debt for ten million? This was just a perfect excuse to fulfill the service for the ten million.

Xiong Yan squinted, staring at Han Te, "Who are you to dare stop me?"

Though he said this, the fact that the opponent could block his corrosive bone fingers meant they were no ordinary person.

"I am a bounty hunter, Han Te! If you need anything, Xiong Daoist, feel free to contact me. As long as the money is right, everything is negotiable."

Han Te smiled brightly, not at all like he was in a combat state.

Xiong Yan was momentarily stunned, then sneered, "Then I'll pay you to kill Sun Wuxiang for me!"

"That won't do, a deal's a deal. I have to finish serving Friend Sun before it's your turn, but if you want to cut in line, that's not impossible, unless..."

Han Te made a gesture, indicating payment.

Xiong Yan suddenly found it interesting, smiling sinisterly.

He took out a storage bag, filled it with a large number of spirit stones, and tossed it to Han Te.

Han Te caught it excitedly, scanning it with his divine sense.

Suddenly, all the spirit stones inside exploded simultaneously, turning into black light, surging out, directly attacking Han Te's divine sense. At the same time, Xiong Yan charged forward, reaching for Han Te's forehead with his hand, his fingers curved like eagle claws, tearing through the sky, aiming to crush his head with one blow!

"Take my spirit stones, do you even deserve it!"

Xiong Yan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, a cruel smile on his lips.

However, despite such a dangerous sneak attack, Han Te only trembled slightly, the black light swept over him without any effect, but his ever-present smile vanished.

"You dare trick me?"
