Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

As soon as Brook and the others landed from the light gate, they immediately activated the detection necklace.

Zuo Ci, cannot be found.

Cao Cao and Xu Chu are located west of Dingjun Mountain.

Brook and Bayin looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

Bayin’s guess was correct, Cao Cao did come to Dingjun Mountain!

Brook and the other guy immediately flew over and watched from a distance.

Cao Cao was seen riding a tall white horse, with Xu Chu riding a black horse beside him. They were surrounded by an elite guard of 500 people. They were walking forward slowly along the gentle mountain path in the forest.

"How far is it?" asked Cao Cao.

"My lord, if we continue forward for another six miles and then cross that mountain, we will see the camp of General Zhengxi." Xu Chu replied.

"What was Xiahou Yuan doing when you were there last time?"

"My lord, at that time, General Zhengxi was repairing the defensive antlers in front of the formation with several soldiers."

"That Xiahou Yuan! As a commander-in-chief, he should be focusing on the overall situation, thinking more, making more arrangements, and planning more. Instead, he only sees those antlers in front of the battle! He even went up to repair them himself. He really has so much free time! No wonder people call him General Baidi."

"Hehe, this is not the General Zhengxi's fault. The General Zhengxi loves his soldiers and is brave and good at fighting. He knew that the lord would come. With the lord here and his strategies and arrangements, of course he can take some time off." Xu Chu is a martial arts expert and a cautious person. He doesn't want to offend Xiahou Yuan behind his back.

"Hmph, you're the only one who's speaking up for him. My cousin, although he's brave in battle, has a narrow gaze and is always worrying."

"With the lord directing the strategy, and Zhang He, Pang De, Guo Huai and others assisting him, the General of the Western Expedition will surely be able to capture Dingjun Mountain."

Cao Cao's troops continued forward. Brook and the other two, though members of the Wei army, were minor figures. If they rashly advanced, they might cause trouble. They were monitored by a detection necklace; they could simply follow from a distance.

When the team was walking towards an upward slope, suddenly, an old man with a tall hat on his head, white hair and beard, and a tall and thin figure in a white robe appeared out of thin air at the top of the slope.

At the same time, the detection necklace showed that Zuo Ci appeared!

"Who is it?!" Cao Cao's guards drew their weapons and stood on guard.

"I am Zuo Ci, also known as Wujiao. I have come to see Prime Minister Cao."

"How did you know that Prime Minister Cao would pass by here?" a sergeant in front of the guards shouted.

"It is estimated."

"...Why do you want to see the Prime Minister?"

"No big deal, just want to see you."

"...You suddenly appeared, where did you come from?"

"I just came from Shu."

"Shu Land!"

This old man's words were vague and his behavior was strange. He was extremely suspicious. How could I dare take him to see Cao Cao? Now he said he was from Shu. Could he be an assassin or spy sent by Shu? The crossbowman had already raised his crossbow.

"Don't move! Wait until I tie you up and bring you before the Prime Minister."

The guards gathered around. Zuo Ci remained silent, staring at Cao Cao at the rear of the group. However, the distance was still too far, and he couldn't see clearly enough.

With a whoosh, Zuo Ci disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Cao Cao, very close!

Everyone was shocked! Even Cao Cao's white horse was startled and jumped up, throwing Cao Cao away! The horse backed up again and again, almost stepping on Cao Cao, but Xu Chu pulled the reins in time.

"There are assassins!"

The guards attacked Zuo Ci without any explanation, and the crossbowmen even pulled the trigger directly.

Zuo Ci frowned slightly. He had simply wanted to see Cao Cao up close, but he hadn't expected his soldiers to be so suspicious and sensitive. Despite the incoming arrows, he remained unfazed. With a flick of his sleeve, a stream of long, yellow talismans flew out, rapidly spinning in a circle around Zuo Ci. Arrows bounced off the talismans, and any soldiers who touched them were struck by shields, sending all of them, including Xu Chu, flying back!

"He knows witchcraft!"

"It's the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, be careful!"

The rotating talisman paper shield circle finally stopped and returned to Zuo Ci's right hand.

"Everyone, please stop. I have no ill intentions..."

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! In response, Zuo Ci was bombarded with crossbow bolts from all directions. Though powerful, Zuo Ci was still mortal. He could teleport to dodge, but his purpose hadn't been achieved yet, so he couldn't leave.

Zuo Ci flashed with golden light, arcs of electricity enveloping him, his invincible energy automatically replenishing, his ultimate move activated, and the talisman shield began to spin once more. He stared intently at Cao Cao, slowly moving toward him, the talisman shield closing in on him as he moved.

Cao Cao was shocked. The other party actually had a precious awakening mark. It seemed that he had to kill him.

"Lord, be careful!" Xu Chu, who had been knocked away, rushed forward and blocked Cao Cao again. However, Zuo Ci's ultimate move was both offensive and defensive, so he did not dare to confront him head-on and could only slowly retreat.

Zuo Ci frowned again, his vision was blocked and he couldn't see some details clearly.

With a whoosh, Zuo Ci disappeared again.

Xu Chu was startled and turned around. Zuo Ci had indeed flown behind him. He had already put away the talisman and was staring at Cao Cao intently.

Cao Cao was so frightened by the sight that he retreated repeatedly! He had a feeling that Zuo Ci, the sorcerer who had activated his peerless awakening and could teleport, could kill him at any time! Cao Cao had experienced hundreds of battles in his life, and even the most embarrassing Huarong Road had never been as dangerous as this day.

"Don't hurt my lord!" Xu Chu rushed over again, raised the sledgehammer in his hand, and smashed it down on Zuo Ci's head.

With a whoosh, Zuo Ci disappeared again. Everyone looked around and finally realized that Zuo Ci had returned to the top of the slope where he had just appeared.

"This man is unbeatable! Go... quickly! Protect the lord and return to Chang'an!"

Xu Chu supported Cao Cao and led everyone to flee in the direction they came from.

Zuo Ci stood still and did not pursue. He looked into the distance, stroked his beard, and murmured:

"If it's not him... then who else could it be?"

Suddenly, there was a whooshing sound behind him. Zuo Ci was slightly startled and turned around to look.

"Brook, Bayin, meet the Taoist priest!"

"Who... are you?" Zuo Ci looked at them curiously. These two young men could actually teleport, and they were shrouded in a thick mist that he couldn't even see through.
