Chapter 200 Ambush
At this point, some people might be wondering, didn't the elder appear in Moyun Kingdom after Bai Ke fainted? Why is it now said that it's because Lin Xiu was injured?
Actually, when Bai Ke fainted, the elder didn't care whether he lived or died, and continued to hide in the shadows, monitoring everything his disciples did. But it was only when he noticed something unusual about Lin Xiu that he devised a way to appear in the Mo Yun Kingdom.
This was to make the disciples believe that he had only appeared because they were leaderless and the matter of the Beast Forest had been largely resolved, and the assessment was over.
Lin Xiu was injured by the fire from the alchemy furnace. Although he was rescued in time, he still suffered some damage. After the elders noticed the abnormality, they knew that the fire was unusual. Although it had been extinguished, there was a high possibility that there were still hidden dangers.
Therefore, after sending the disciples to rest at the post station, he only kept Lin Xiu behind to heal his injuries. Afterwards, he led Lin Xiu and some disciples to deal with the remaining remnants in the Netherworld Beast Forest.
Knowing that Lin Xiu's achievements in this training were not as great as Bai Ke's, he wanted to take him back to the Beast Forest to kill some minor demons and obtain some items, so that things wouldn't look so bad.
"Disciple understands!" Bai Ke replied.
After saying that, Bai Ke flipped his palm and took out a deck of cards. He then infused one with spiritual power and sent it flying toward the zombie. As the card flew, it was catalyzed to grow to the height of a person and hovered above the corpse.
Suddenly, a bright golden light emanated from the playing cards and struck the corpse. The corpse was blinded by the intense light and felt a burning pain all over its body.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Ke lunged forward and kicked the corpse in the chest. From taking out the playing cards to engaging in close combat with the corpse, Bai Ke's movements were fluid and seamless, captivating the viewer.
Moreover, the kick Bai Ke just gave to the corpse was completely different from the kick he gave to E Lu. When he kicked E Lu, he used at most 10% of his strength, and that force didn't involve any magic power; it was just a bit stronger than normal force.
But he used a full thirty percent of his strength to kick the zombie. He kicked the corpse squarely in the chest. The corpse couldn't take the blow and staggered backward a considerable distance.
In the process, he had long forgotten about the person he was holding and released E Lu. Bai Ke continued forward, and stopped for a moment when he reached E Lu's side.
He turned to the other soldiers and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Get your general down here! Are you waiting for me to help him up?!"
Without waiting for the others' reactions, he continued chasing after the corpse.
The stunned soldiers immediately realized what was happening and rushed to Elu to help him up and take him to a resting place.
As Elu watched Bai Ke's departing figure, he suddenly realized that he couldn't see through the person in front of him at all.
Despite being from the prestigious and righteous Tian Ce Palace, this person's methods are unconventional and unorthodox, catching people off guard.
However, while he may be considered unorthodox and arrogant, his actions were generally within the bounds of propriety and he did not make any major mistakes. He even saved himself, who did not like him and had a grudge against him.
"This person is very strange!" E'lu thought to himself.
Meanwhile, Bai Ke caught up and blocked the corpse's escape route. He then pulled out a playing card with a soldier on it, and with a few somersaults, he seized the opportunity to stick the card to the corpse's forehead. Instantly, the corpse was pinned to the spot and unable to move.
The disciples standing nearby cheered with joy upon seeing that their senior brother had subdued the last corpse, praising Bai Ke's high cultivation and unparalleled bravery.
Seeing this scene, the elder of Tian Ce Palace couldn't help but think that Bai Ke had won the hearts of many people during this training trip!
Bai Ke did not show much joy on his face despite the praise from the crowd; he remained indifferent.
He walked up to the elder and bowed to him, saying, "Elder, apart from this corpse, the rest have all been eliminated."
The disciple left this behind because the corpse had developed its own consciousness and might evolve into a zombie king or become uncontrollable.
Therefore, this disciple wishes to keep him and take him back to Tian Ce Palace, where he will be handed over to the elders and sect leader. Whether to kill him or spare him will then be up to them to decide.
"Hmm...not bad, you've thought this through very well. We've been lingering here for a while now, it's time to prepare to go back and report!"
"Then you're in charge of guarding this body. Be very careful and don't let it escape. I'll continue making preparations for the next few days. In three days, we'll set off for Tian Ce Palace!"
"Yes! This disciple obeys!"
The elder turned and bid farewell to Elu and the others, then led his disciples out of the Sixth Prince's residence towards the post station. Behind them followed the corpse with a playing card on its forehead… well, the scene was rather eerie.
Three days later, outside the city gates of Moyun Kingdom, the disciples were leisurely heading towards Tiance Palace.
It's not that they were slow; Bai Ke had his Lingyun Ferry, and Lin Xiu had the magic weapon his father gave him, so of course they were fast.
But Bai Ke didn't want to spend so many spirit stones to send them back. Lin Xiu, on the other hand, wanted to take this opportunity to make a good impression.
There were only a few of them when they came, so of course they could be carried. But this time, the number of people returning was more than double, so his magical artifacts were not enough.
The situation was even simpler for the elders. Their role was to oversee the process; they couldn't help when they arrived, and naturally, they couldn't help when they left. From the moment Bai Ke and his group left the mountain gate, they entered a training phase that wouldn't end until they returned.
Therefore, the elders cannot offer assistance on the return journey. Besides, these disciples, who grew up on the mountain, suddenly have the opportunity to experience the mortal world; why would they want to go back so soon?
Of course, they'd postpone it as long as possible. They also wanted to travel around. Along the way, the group chatted and laughed, enjoying the scenery.
Before they entered a grove of trees, Li Mu and several others had been waiting for them for a long time in the nearby hamlet.
Seeing Bai Ke and the others finally appear and walk into the magic array he had set up, ready to make his move, Li Mu was somewhat incredulous. Had things really progressed so smoothly?
Next, let's see how well he masters this formation and this magical artifact!
"Make your move!" Seeing the group of people walk to the center of the formation, Li Mu lay down on the grass and used his spiritual power to activate the formation.
Meanwhile, as the disciples of Tian Ce Palace were walking, they suddenly saw a formation appear around them, and they were right in the center of the formation. They realized that someone had probably set a trap and was waiting for them to come.
