Chapter 783: 191. Rejuvenation Society is Confused (6000 words)_3

She arranged it this way because even though they all were Awakeners and members of the Devil Sect, the two groups came from different ethnic backgrounds with completely different customs and ideas, resulting in constant friction.

Currently, this friction is still manageable, but upon arriving at a new place, it’s unclear whether the conflicts might escalate.

Furthermore, the 100 Awakeners all came from the slums of Qingshan City and have relationships with the 2000 ordinary Believers. If they were asked to abandon these 2000 Believers, they might be unable to accept it emotionally.

On the contrary, leaving them to live among the 2000 Believers allows them to manage easily due to their existing relationships with the Believers. That’s why Zhixi divided them this way.

As for other details, there are many. But since Sima Liu didn’t ask, Zhixi also spared the words…

As Zhixi was thinking of this, Sima Liu glanced around at the people present, then tossed a badge to Zhixi, saying, “There’s half an hour until eight. You can start retreating now. The badge shows the route to Yunlan State. Follow the route, and I’ll protect you in the shadows.”

Zhixi took the badge, seeing indeed a red arrow pointing southwards. She nodded and clenched the badge in her hand, then began addressing the 350 Awakeners.

Seeing this, Sima Liu flickered and disappeared into the street, lurking.

After a while, Zhixi finished her speech, donned a black robe, masked herself, and held the badge to lead the way.

Interestingly, although the entire Qingshan City was surrounded by thick walls, with entry and exit only through a few gates.

Yet, holding the badge, Zhixi led the Awakeners through a few streets, took a turn, and they were already outside the city.

Once outside, Zhixi looked at the direction indicated by the badge and led the Awakened followers into the darkness…

In the darkness on the necessary route from Qingshan City to the outside world.

The Rejuvenation Society members were ambushed there, with reconnaissance Awakeners continuously scouting and reporting the front messages to the three Saints.

The Rejuvenation Society was passively attacking, only knowing that the Devil Sect was leaving tonight, but not when or from where. So, they could only wait and ambush.

Fortunately, their ambush yielded results; they had been waiting for only half an hour before receiving good news.

“Saints! We’ve just received news that a group of several hundred has left Qingshan City and is heading our way.”

Upon hearing the report, the Saint, whose head was as large as a pumpkin, cackled like a night owl and asked, “Confirmed identity? Is it the Devil Sect?”

The reconnaissance Awakener hurriedly replied, “Report, Saint! Confirmed! The group is causing a fluctuation in the Power of Laws, indicating at least two-thirds of them are Awakeners.”

“In Qingshan City, only the Devil Sect has such forces.”

Then the reconnaissance Awakener paused and added, “And they are all wearing black robes marked with the Devil Sect’s symbol.”

“So, I can confirm it is the Devil Sect’s group!”

Excited by the response, the Big Head Saint clapped his hands and said, “That’s them!”

“Didn’t expect luck to be so good tonight! Got them so quickly!”

“If this ends early, I can still return to Yunlan State for bean curd soup in the morning! Ha ha ha!”

Just as the Big Head Saint was laughing, another reconnaissance Awakener ran over in panic.

Upon reaching the three Saints, he knelt and hastily reported, “Saints! We have enemies! Suddenly, over a thousand Awakeners appeared behind us.”

“Moreover, they’re all wearing the Federal Defense Team and Security Bureau uniforms!”

“What?” Hearing this, the Silver-haired Saint and Bandage Woman stood up at once, looking towards the rear. The Big Head Saint also stood up suddenly, his eyes turning blood-red, and looked back.

At that moment, in the rear of the Rejuvenation Society, Jing Tai and Jiang Cheng led the Federal Defense Team and Security Bureau joint forces silently towards Qingshan City.

Perhaps due to the distance, or perhaps because the Rejuvenation Society’s members were stronger, their reconnaissance Awakeners still did not detect Rejuvenation Society’s presence. Only Jing Tai seemed to sense a trace, but when he looked towards the direction, he found nothing unusual.

At this place, when the Big Head Saint saw the Federal Defense Team’s strength, his cautious expression eased. He glanced at the Bandage Woman and Silver-haired Saint and said, “Though unclear why the officials are here with so many, they seem not to target us. No need to concern much.”

Hearing this, the Silver-haired Saint coldly replied, “Do not drop your guard; they are Federal officials.”

“My suggestion is we stay put. Let them pass, then figure out their intent before acting.”

She paused, “Only Qingshan City in this direction. Our goals might overlap, saving our effort.”

Hearing her words, the Big Head Saint grinned, “You’re too cautious.”

Then he added, “But, I agree with your idea.” freewebnσvel.cѳm

“We’ve traced the Devil Sect; they can’t escape. No need for direct clash with Federal officials.”

With two Saints deciding, the Bandage Woman’s opinion was unimportant, so she remained silent, standing expressionlessly as if uninvolved.

Thus, under the Saints’ command, the Rejuvenation Society hid in the concealment array set by the Silver-haired Saint, avoiding the Federal Defense Team and Security Bureau’s notice.

Meanwhile, the two groups got closer, closer. At the closest, the Rejuvenation Society could almost see the Federal officials’ emotionless faces and hear the “shuffling” footsteps…

At that moment, everyone in the Rejuvenation Society, from the Saints to common members, held their breath, hiding motionlessly in the concealment array, fearing to draw the officials’ attention.

Finally, after tens of seconds, when the last Federal soldier passed their location, the Rejuvenation Society breathed a sigh of relief.

The Big Head Saint winked at the Bandage Woman and Silver-haired Saint, indicating all went well.

The other Rejuvenation Society members, seeing the rear Federal personnel distanced, slightly loosened their stiff bodies.

Just when everyone thought all was well, suddenly, a fireball launched from behind them, ruthlessly smashing the concealment array, aiming directly at the last row of Federal soldiers!

At that moment, the destruction of the concealment array revealed all Rejuvenation Society members to the Federal Defense Team and Security Bureau.

The sudden change stunned the Rejuvenation Society; before reacting, the fireball crashed into the official team!

A muffled “Boom!” and cries of “Ah! Ah!” stopped the advancing Federal Defense Team and Security Bureau.

The Rejuvenation Society members, including the three Saints, were baffled, unaware of the situation. They searched for the fireball launcher, but… nobody was there! Just an empty ground!

Before understanding the event, the attacked Federal team quickly dispersed, shifted, and assumed defensive positions towards the Rejuvenation Society.

Jing Tai, Gu Qing, and others swiftly moved from the front to the rear, confronting the Rejuvenation Society.

In mere seconds, the Federal team established initial defense, engaging the Rejuvenation Society.

At the forefront, Jing Tai, Gu Qing, and others frowned at the sudden appearance and attack by the mysterious force.

Noticing the considerable numbers, strength, and presence of some formidable individuals from the opposition, Jing Tai, Gu Qing, and others grew more serious….
