A shout for retreat.

The eight protectors retreated once more.

This time, they retreated further than the first time, moving back to three hundred meters away. Much farther than before.

Chen Daotian glanced over, then smiled and shouted loudly:

"Come on, keep coming... I have lots of fun things waiting for you. Just bring it on..."

The people from the True Phoenix Clan heard these words.

They shivered all over and retreated another fifty meters.

This time.

The eight protectors were truly enraged.

"Bastard, damn bastard!"

Ye Zhou stomped his foot repeatedly, and with each stomp, the ground trembled...

"Ye Zhou, restrain... restrain yourself!"

"I'll restrain his mother's egg... These bastards are actually using such despicable methods. My ears... Ah, it feels like countless flies buzzing around!"

After a while.

They finally recovered more or less.

But there was still a constant ringing in their ears.

This discomforted them greatly.

Ye Zhou said angrily, "Why retreat? If you ask me, we should have just charged forward earlier and killed them all! It's simply outrageous; when has the True Phoenix Clan ever suffered such humiliation!"

Ye Yunlai pondered and said:

"Ye Zhou, anger won't help... Didn't you hear what that guy said earlier? He has many weapons... Can you guarantee he doesn't have anything else to counter us?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhou was rendered speechless.

First, it was a flash bomb.

Now came a shock bomb.

The effects were completely different, yet neither was lethal. But both weapons caused immense discomfort, making it impossible to organize an effective attack.

Ye Zhou angrily said, "Then what do you suggest? Should we give up?"

"Of course, we can't give up... today, let's just hold off. It's already dark anyway... wait one night, tomorrow morning, we'll think of another strategy... at least find out what weapons they have!"

"Why not just tonight, we sneak in directly, their strongest is just Constant Sand! As long as I get close, I can finish them all in one move! Why drag and delay like this!" Ye Zhou said, frustrated.

His words spoke for everyone.

They initially thought just one day would be enough to complete their tasks at Tiandu Mountain. Unexpectedly, three days had passed, and they still hadn't made any breakthroughs!

"Easy to say, hard to do... not to mention the Holy Daughter stands on their side, can you handle any trap in the Ancient Relics?" Ye Yunlai asked.

"..."

Ye Zhou swung his hand with a sigh, unable to refute.

Ye Yunlai continued:

"Also, they have so much modern weaponry, enough to give us headaches for a while! Let's do this... let's have the Kunlun Sect send some experts in modern weaponry, protected by masters, so we can face them with confidence."

"That's a plan, notify them immediately, let them travel overnight, and attack tomorrow morning without delay!"

"Right now, that's all we can do!"

Ye Zhou's eyes gleamed coldly as he said, "Fine, I'll endure them for one night, wait for reinforcements, tomorrow morning, I will unleash a massacre!"

...

Meanwhile.

In the Tiandu Palace.

Chen Daotian and the others were gathered together.

"They retreated... wonder how long we can scare them." Chen Daotian wiped the sweat off his face and glanced at Ye Wenjun, "Is sister-in-law okay?"

"Sister-in-law's fine, we isolated her before you released the shock bomb..."

Xu Sisi interjected:

"Sister Wenjun has been in a state of enlightened meditation for three days and nights without waking... the hundred-level Restriction has already been broken, and modern weapons may not hold for long. I'm worried... what if they recklessly charge in, what should we do..."

Upon hearing this.

Chen Daotian squinted his eyes and said, "Sisi... you're overthinking it... even if they break through the Restriction and enter the palace, we can abandon the Tiandu Palace... there are many hidden compartments, there's a secret passage behind the Dragon Chair leading down the mountain... even if they capture sister-in-law, so what? Sister-in-law is the Holy Daughter of the True Phoenix Clan, they wouldn't dare lay a hand on her! They would have to escort her back respectfully. Brother Yu has entered the slow turn Secret Realm, given Brother Yu's talent, entering the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror in these seventy years isn't an issue... and in four days, once Brother Yu emerges! He'll slay gods and buddhas!"

After his analysis.

Everyone found his words reasonable, feeling much more assured.

Chen Daotian added:

"Notify the brothers on the Dark Web, they must strictly monitor their every move 24/7, report any activity immediately."

"Understood!"

...

A night passed uneventfully. The True Phoenix Clan made no move.

The following morning.

The True Phoenix Clan brought two more experts, accompanied by someone in modern military attire, ascending the mountain.

"Protector Ye!"

"Protector Ye!"

Ye Ziqi's gaze landed on the person standing in the middle, gesturing, "Fool! Block it!"

A protector beside him raised his hand, instantly conjuring a Heavenly Demon Shield.

"Protector, this… exhausting Inner Essence like this, isn't it inappropriate?"

"Fool! The opponent's Hidden Weapon is formidable, with your skills, you're not worth saving! We eight can take turns exhausting Inner Essence, enough to recover, is life more important, or Inner Essence?"

The newcomer trembled all over, bowing, "Subordinate concedes!"

Ye Ziqi said, "You're the modern expert brought by Li Daochang?"

The expert said respectfully, "Protectors, indeed, it's me... on the way here, I've already grasped the general situation. They're using only conventional weapons, lacking lethality, so you don't need to worry."

"Good! Today, accompany us in attacking the mountain! Afterwards, I, as Protector, will reward you!"

"Thank you, Protector!"

With that.

They set off again.

A distance of several hundred meters, spoken while approaching the plaza outside the palace.

Sure enough —

Chen Daotian held something dark in his hand and stepped forward smiling.

"You guys really won't give up, guess what this time's thing is?"

The eight protectors remained calm, turning to glance at the expert in the middle.

The expert said proudly, "That's tear gas, non-lethal, just use Inner Essence to fend off the gases, prevent them from getting on your eyes, nose..."

The eight protectors nodded.

Upon hearing this.

Chen Daotian glanced at the expert in the middle and said, "Damn... they've brought someone who knows their stuff... hey, I'm talking to you, you damn well know what you're doing, right? You're actually helping them!"

The expert pretended not to hear.

Ye Ziqi waved his hand and said, "Charge!"

The disciples of the True Phoenix Clan behind, under the constant protection of the Heavenly Demon Shield, rushed forward.

Seeing this.

Chen Daotian discarded what was in his hand and shouted, "Take my palm strike!"

A flood of black, ink-like water surged downhill from the front of the palace.

Ye Ziqi sneered and said, "Turns out it's the Dark Scripture... didn't expect this thing to see daylight again! Go ahead, the Dark Scripture's merely cultivated some superficiality, no need to fear!"

"Yes!"

In an instant, the Gang Qi of both sides clashed.

Boom!
