Chapter 178 Infiltration
"Golden Morning..."
Ximen Tianyu repeated the name in a low voice, and an inexplicable chill surged in his heart. He knew very well the terrifying power of this mysterious force, and he also knew that he had to be more cautious.
"Okay, Sister Rongrong, I will pay attention."
Ximen Tianyu responded firmly, and then ended the voice transmission. He took a deep breath, looked forward firmly, and prepared to meet the upcoming challenge.
It was a dark and windy night, and the members of the Navoli Brotherhood began to gather and prepare to sneak into the ruins. Ximen Tianyu mixed in with the team, using the cover of night to cover himself. His heartbeat accelerated with the tense atmosphere, but his eyes were unusually firm.
After reaching the patrol area of the Dao League, Ximen Tianyu followed the team and used the hidden path prepared by the Brotherhood to quietly bypass the patrol team of the Dao League. He took every step very carefully, for fear of making any noise to attract attention.
The night was as dark as ink, with only the sparse starlight and the dim light of the patrol team's lanterns in the distance as guidance. Ximen Tianyu silently recited Tushan Rongrong's warning in his heart, alert to the possible dangers around him. He knew that he not only had to pay attention to the movements of the Taoist Alliance, but also had to be on guard against dissidents within the Brotherhood at all times in case they suddenly attacked.
The team gradually went deeper into the area where the ruins were located, and the surrounding environment began to become complicated. The ancient building ruins cast mottled shadows under the moonlight, as if telling the past glory and vicissitudes. Ximen Tianyu used the perception of his heart mirror to try to capture any abnormal breath.
Suddenly, a low humming sound broke the tranquility of the night, and Ximen Tianyu immediately became alert. He looked around and saw a few golden lights looming in the darkness not far away. It was the unique energy fluctuation of Jin Chenxi.
Around Jin Chenxi, there was a circle of Dao League members with deep cultivation. They held magical instruments in their hands and stood ready. They had obviously noticed the abnormality of Jin Chenxi and were trying to control it within a certain range to prevent it from spreading and causing greater harm.
Ximen Tianyu's heart trembled. He didn't expect Jin Chenxi to show up here ahead of time, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty and risk of the operation. He quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind, carefully following the team forward while paying close attention to Jin Chenxi's movements.
"President, these people should be the reinforcements sent by the Dao Alliance. It looks like they should be trying to break the formation of this ruins. We have to act quickly."
No one in the Brotherhood knew about Jin Chenxi's existence except Ximen Tianyu. Judging from the actions of the Taoist Alliance members, they thought they were only trying to break the formation of the ruins.
"Everyone be careful, we will go around behind them and look for an opportunity."
"Be careful to stay hidden and don't alert the enemy."
Li Jin lowered his voice to remind every member of the fraternity. His voice was calm and serious, revealing unquestionable majesty.
As the distance got closer, Ximen Tianyu could feel the ominous aura of Jin Chenxi more clearly. The golden light was particularly dazzling in the darkness, as if it could devour the souls of all living things. He knew very well that if this power got out of control, the consequences would be disastrous.
Only because of this, he became more worried. If these people from the Brotherhood rushed forward now, the Taoist Alliance members would definitely be caught off guard.
In that case, Jin Chenxi would take the opportunity to break free from his restraints, and his terrifying power would be like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, wreaking havoc throughout the ruins and even affecting innocent lives around them. Ximen Tianyu was anxious, and he had to find a way to temporarily stop the Brotherhood's actions.
"President, I suggest that we don't act hastily." Ximen Tianyu's voice was so low that only Li Jin could hear it.
"Why?"
Li Jin frowned, obviously puzzled by Ximen Tianyu's sudden proposal. He looked around and saw that the members of the Dao League were concentrating on breaking the ruins formation. It was the perfect time to launch a surprise attack.
"If we rush forward now, even if we can get rid of them, we won't be able to unlock the formation of the ruins for a while. And if the formation is not unlocked in the right way, it is very likely to explode its destructive power prematurely. By then, not only will we fail to achieve our goal, but our brothers will be killed instead."
Ximen Tianyu analyzed in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the ball of golden light, his heart filled with awe for the unknown danger.
"Besides, the goal of our operation this time is to find the treasures in the ruins, not to engage in a full-scale conflict with the Dao Alliance. If we can take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in after they break the formation, wouldn't that be safer?"
He continued to persuade, trying to make Li Jin understand his concerns.
Li Jin heard this, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "You have a point, we can't lose the big picture because of the small. Pass the order down, everyone stay hidden, and we will act after the Taoist Alliance breaks the formation."
As Li Jin's order was issued, the members of the Brotherhood quickly adjusted their positions and hid themselves more carefully to avoid being noticed by the members of the Dao League. Ximen Tianyu also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had temporarily stabilized the situation, but the worries in his heart had not completely dissipated.
As time passed, the efforts of the Dao Alliance members seemed to have paid off, and the formation of the ruins began to show signs of loosening. The golden light flashed more frequently in the formation, and the power of the golden dawn seemed to be stirring.
Ximen Tianyu watched all this closely, silently calculating his next move. He knew that once the Dao Alliance members successfully cracked the formation, Jin Chenxi's power would be completely released. Only then would it be a real challenge.
Finally, as the last ray of light dissipated, the formation of the ruins was successfully cracked. The golden light surged out like a tide, instantly illuminating the entire ruins area. Ximen Tianyu and Li Jin looked at each other, and each saw determination and firmness in the other's eyes.
"hold on!"
Seeing that Li Jin was about to give the final order to attack, Ximen Tianyu spoke again. Although his voice was not loud, it carried a firmness that could not be ignored.
"President, the power of the formation has not yet been fully released. This is when it is at its strongest. If we attack rashly now, we will most likely be affected."
Ximen Tianyu's words made Li Jin fall into deep thought. He stared ahead, the golden light was extremely dazzling, and the terrifying power contained in it also made him feel daunted. He knew very well that Ximen Tianyu's worry was not groundless, and if he made a mistake in his action, the consequences would be disastrous.
Li Jin nodded in agreement, and then conveyed new instructions to the surrounding Brotherhood members: "Continue to stay hidden, observe the movement of this energy, and find the best time to attack."
