Mythical Cultivation

In the blink of an eye, the two sides were already engaging in close combat. For a moment, the flashes of swords and sabers crisscrossed, and axes, clubs and clubs collided with each other, with clanging sounds that never stopped.

Although the enemy's numbers were not inferior to theirs, the guards of the Bai Mansion were by no means ordinary people. Each of them was an elite soldier who had been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations.

Not to mention that at this moment there is Wu Ming, a martial arts expert, helping out. He skillfully controls the weapon in his hand, sometimes attacking fiercely, sometimes maneuvering cleverly, causing great pressure and interference to the enemy.

In less than a hundred breaths, this fierce battle was coming to an end.

In the end, with their superb martial arts and tacit cooperation, the guards successfully wiped out the invading enemies, leaving no one alive.

However, even though Wu Ming and others had already killed all the mysterious enemies in front of them, no one dared to take it lightly.

Time ticked by minute by minute, and since Wu Ming first noticed the enemy's presence, hundreds of breaths had already passed. But surprisingly, they had completely eliminated the enemy without seeing any other palace guards rushing to support them.

You know, it is true that the Bai Mansion covers a vast area, but in this pitch-black night where you can't see your hand in front of you, even the slightest noise is enough to alert others.

Moreover, the noise produced by the fierce battle between the two sides just now should have reached the ears of other guards and even the two commanders.

Not to mention that they had clearly sent out a signal that they had encountered an enemy invasion, but until now, no one had come to reinforce them. This abnormal situation undoubtedly suggested that there was something fishy going on.

"Captain Wu, I don't think we can just sit there and wait any longer! We haven't seen anyone come to help for such a long time. There must be something fishy going on here! Why don't we go check somewhere else?"

Another captain of the palace guards looked anxious and asked Wu Ming hurriedly.

Wu Ming frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the group of trapped enemies before him. After a moment's thought, he responded to the anxious captain:

"Captain Zhang, don't worry. Right now, we need to figure out who these guys are and see if we can find some key clues from them. By doing so, perhaps we can follow the clues and uncover the truth behind this incident."

"I was a little too impatient. If there really was any problem, others would definitely send out warning signals. We should first find out the origins of these people." Captain Zhang said slowly with a frown.

At this time, a palace guard, after carefully examining the bodies, quickly walked up to Captain Zhang and reported, "Captain, after my inspection, I can confirm that these people are not from our local area. And judging by the strength they have displayed, they are roughly between the Body Refining Realm and the Visualization Realm.

A person with such strength, according to common sense, should not be unknown in our Changling County."

Captain Zhang pondered for a moment, then spoke solemnly, "Based on this situation, these people are most likely the ones the eldest son and third daughter of the mansion have been asking us to be wary of lately."

However, Wu Ming, standing aside, knew clearly that these people were just small fry at best. You have to know that those who really needed to be guarded against in the mansion were all top masters who had reached the realm of exorcism.

Compared with those people, the guys in front of him are so far behind that they are not even on the same level.

At that moment, two dazzling streaks of light suddenly streaked across the night sky, as bright as shooting stars. Everyone looked closely and saw that they were two signal flares, identical to the ones Wu Ming and his team had launched earlier.

"Captain Wu, there's been a signal from other places. It looks like they're in an emergency and need support! Let's go over there quickly!" Captain Zhang said anxiously.

Wu Ming frowned slightly, stared at the flashing signal in the distance, and fell into a brief contemplation.

After a while, he slowly said, "Don't worry, Captain Zhang. I always feel that something is wrong tonight. This sudden signal makes me suspicious. Maybe it's a trap set by the enemy, trying to lure us away and then take the opportunity to attack here. Therefore, I think we can't act rashly."

Captain Zhang nodded in agreement after hearing Wu Ming's analysis. "Well, Captain Wu, you're right. So, in your opinion, how should we deal with this?"

Wu Ming thought for a moment and answered decisively, "How about this, Captain Zhang, you lead your team to provide support. But you must remain vigilant and pay attention to the surrounding movements at all times.

If you find any abnormal situation, retreat immediately. As for our team, we will stay here to defend it and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and breaking in.

Captain Zhang agreed deeply and looked at Wu Ming with admiration, saying, "Captain Wu, you've really thought it through! In that case, we'll do as you say."

Captain Wu, rest assured, we will complete the support mission as soon as possible and return safely. However, you must be more careful if you stay here alone.

Wu Ming smiled and patted Captain Zhang on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, Captain Zhang. I will take good care of myself. I wish you all the best!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Zhang turned around and waved to the four team members behind him, shouting, "Brothers, follow me!"

Then, he led his team members and rushed towards the direction of the signal like a gust of wind, and soon disappeared into the night.

"Aqi, are we really not going to provide support?" Li Yue stood beside Aqi, frowning slightly and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

His eyes were fixed on Wu Ming, as if he wanted to find the answer from the other's expression and eyes.

Wu Ming didn't respond to Li Yue's question immediately. Instead, after a moment's silence, he asked Li Yue, "Don't you find it strange? We've been sending out distress signals for such a long time, but no one has come to support us. Could there be something wrong?"

After saying that, Wu Ming's deep eyes looked into the distance, as if he was thinking about something.

Hearing Wu Ming's words, Li Yue was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought. After a while, he seemed to suddenly understand something, nodded, and said:

"Hmm... Now that you mention it, something does seem amiss! Normally, we should have received support quickly after sending out a distress signal, but there's been no response at all."

Seeing that Li Yue had figured out the key, Wu Ming nodded with satisfaction. Then, with a wave of his hand, he shouted to the other three people behind him, "Brothers, forget about it and continue patrolling!"
