Mythical Cultivation

So, the group of five began to patrol along the established route again.

It was already late at night, the night was as dark as ink, and everything was silent. Despite the late hour and the intense battle they had just endured, everyone was in very good spirits.

Especially the attack from the enemy just now made the team members, who were still a little sleepy, instantly lose all their sleepiness and become extremely alert.

Just as the five of them were patrolling diligently, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of them. This shadow was extremely fast, like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye it arrived in front of them and stopped steadily.

When the black shadow stopped, everyone could see clearly that the person was Deputy Commander Zhou Ling.

"Greetings, Commander Zhou." All the palace guards said in unison, including Wu Mingdao.

They were seen standing in a neat row, all with serious expressions, and exuding the aura of someone who had just experienced a fierce battle.

Zhou Ling quickly glanced at the bodies lying scattered on the ground, then looked at everyone with concern and asked:

"You guys dealt with the enemy so quickly? No one was hurt, right?"

As he spoke, he walked forward and carefully examined the physical condition of each person.

"Don't worry, Commander Zhou! Everyone is fine." Wu Mingdao replied confidently.

Zhou Ling nodded after hearing this, feeling slightly relieved, but then frowned and said, "That's good. Originally, as soon as I received the signal from you that you had encountered the enemy, I wanted to rush over to support you as soon as possible.

But who could have imagined that this time, it wasn't just you who had enemies breaking in, but that attacks were launched from other locations as well." Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Wu Ming nodded in sudden realization and continued, "So that's how it is. I was wondering why no one came to support us after we sent out the signal! So what is the situation in the entire mansion now?" His eyes revealed a hint of worry and anxiety.

Zhou Ling took a deep breath and said slowly, "The situation is relatively stable at the moment. Commander Nangong and I have been running around to provide support to various places. Fortunately, the enemies in most areas have been repelled or eliminated, and only a few places are still engaged in fierce fighting. However..."

He paused, turned his gaze to Wu Ming and the others, and asked doubtfully, "Why are there only five of you here? Where are the others?"

"After Captain Zhang and his men eliminated the enemy, they hurried off to support other battlefields, leaving only our team to guard here to prevent any more fish from slipping through the net and breaking in." Wu Ming said seriously.

"Hmm, so that's how it is. Your arrangement is quite appropriate..."

Zhou Ling nodded, but before he could finish his words, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the flashing signal in the air.

His face suddenly changed, and he cried out in alarm, "Oh no! Enemies have actually broken into the inner courtyard! Wu Qi, quickly follow me to meet them!"

After saying that, he flashed and rushed towards the inner courtyard like an arrow.

"Enemy broke into the inner courtyard?"

Wu Ming's heart tightened. Not daring to delay even a moment, he quickly turned and instructed the team members behind him, "You guys, patrol this area strictly and don't let your guard down! If you find anything unusual, signal the alarm immediately! I'm going to the inner courtyard to provide support now."

After he finished speaking, he followed Zhou Ling's footsteps and ran towards the inner courtyard together.

As soon as he stepped into the inner courtyard, Wu Ming saw a shocking scene - three old men in black robes with stern faces were fighting fiercely with Nangong Wending, Zhou Ling and five others with six men in black.

The six men in black were so agile and fierce in their moves that Nangong Wending and Zhou Ling found it difficult to resist for a while.

Not far away, the third young lady Bai Ningzhu and a white-haired old woman stood there quietly watching this thrilling battle.

Upon seeing this, Wu Ming hurried forward a few steps, bowed to Bai Ningzhu and said, "I pay my respects to the Third Young Lady!"

"Wu Qi, you're here at the right time! Go quickly and help the priests and commanders to resist the enemy." Bai Ningzhu gave the urgent order as soon as she saw Wu Ming saluting her.

"As you command, I will go there immediately."

After Wu Ming responded, he did not rush into the battle circle to join in the fight like ordinary people. Instead, he stood firmly in place, closed his eyes slightly, and instantly mobilized the powerful power of his spiritual consciousness.

There was a crisp sound of "clang", and the long sword at the waist, which was shining with cold light, suddenly flew out of the sheath as if pulled by an invisible force, turning into a dazzling silver lightning, and shot towards the enemy opposite Nangong Wending at an astonishing speed.

It turned out that when Wu Ming was rushing here, he had already taken in the entire battle situation with his keen insight and extraordinary analytical ability.

The situation of the other people was fine at this time, but Nangong Wending was in a very bad situation. He was alone struggling to deal with the fierce attacks of the two men in black. His body was covered with scars and his clothes were stained with blood.

This situation made Wu Ming feel nervous, and he decided without hesitation to help Nangong Wending first.

Before this, Nangong Wending was facing three powerful enemies alone, and the situation was precarious.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhou Ling arrived in time and helped him, successfully taking away one of the enemies for him. However, even so, the one-on-two situation was still extremely difficult for Nangong Wending.

After all, the two men in black who fought with him were members of the mysterious five people who had previously broken into the Bai Mansion, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Although they are no match for Nangong Wending individually, once they join forces, the combined force they form is enough to make Nangong Wending unable to resist.

When Wu Ming stepped into this tense venue, the six men in black who were fighting fiercely on the field hardly even glanced at him.

In the eyes of these men in black, except for those strong ones who have reached the realm of driving objects, anyone else who rashly breaks into the battlefield at this moment is seeking death.

Therefore, when they saw Wu Ming, dressed in the uniform of a palace guard, appear here, they naturally regarded him as an insignificant little character who was not worth their attention at all.

However, things took an unexpected turn in an instant. Just as the two men in black were fiercely fighting with Nangong Wending, one of them suddenly felt a biting chill coming from behind him.

The chill came so suddenly that he had no time to think. He instinctively gave up the fight with Nangong Wending and twisted his body rapidly, trying to avoid the sudden attack.
