Chapter 2497: Chapter 2497: Success (Part 5)
At this moment, Gu Qingheng and Qi Jingyun have already started acting separately. After Flame led his men away from the cave, he snuck inside and tossed a few medicine pills into the potion pool meant for refining people. A puff of white smoke rose up and then disappeared.
These medicine pills were antidotes developed by Dao Xuzi based on Luo Da and Luo Er’s blood. Although two pills were a bit too few for such a large pool, they could neutralize about eighty percent of the poison inside, basically rendering it ineffective.
Meanwhile, Qi Jingyun went to the storeroom and set a fire there.
Of course, he encountered quite a few sect members along the way and dealt with them one by one.
Gu Qingheng and the others were causing a ruckus inside the Flame Sect base, while outside, the Eighth Prince and Tenth Prince were deeply worried. Especially Gu Yao, who had just arrived, his heart jumped upon hearing his brother had infiltrated the Flame Sect base. He immediately said he wanted to go in and find him.
"Can you get in?" Qi Jingyi cast a sideways glance at Gu Yao.
Gu Yao could only sigh, knowing if he’d arrived earlier, he could have gone in with his brother, instead of being anxious like now.
After several days of anxiety, someone reported seeing dense smoke rising from the forest.
Everyone quickly left the camp to check from a high point. Sure enough, dense smoke was billowing up in the distance.
"Your Highness Prince Yi, I must go support my brother." Gu Yao directly asked Qi Jingyi for permission, "They must have succeeded."
"Alright." Qi Jingyi didn’t refuse this time, instead, he allocated three thousand men to him, "Be safe."
At that moment, several fires in the base caused some chaos, but since the Flame Sect had been operating there for many years, a bit of chaos was far from shaking its foundation. There were many people, and the flames were quickly extinguished.
Thus, the situation became urgent for Gu Qingheng’s group.
Fortunately, they found who they needed to.
"This way, we can get out." The Huaka Tribe leader Ran Asai and his wife led the group out.
But there were too many ordinary people among them, and injured ones too, so they couldn’t run fast, while the pursuers behind were quick.
"Prince," Gu Qingheng looked ahead, "We need to split up."
Qi Jingyun nodded, "Okay."
"You lead everyone out, I’ll distract them."
"How can that be?"
"Why not?" Gu Qingheng chuckled, "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
"But..."
"Escorting these people out isn’t simple either." Gu Qingheng patted Qi Jingyun’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, I won’t leave Xinxin alone, won’t give those rivals a chance."
Qi Jingyun frowned slightly, then turned to lead the people away. He was saying that for him, this guy is really annoying!
Gu Qingheng waited with Zhang Tiankuo and Ming Guang for a moment, then began running in a different direction when he heard noises behind.
They ran through most of the night, and at daybreak, the group was blocked.
Looking at Song San blocking the way ahead, then back at Flame pursuing behind, Gu Qingheng sighed, seems it’s a doomed day.
"Gu Qingheng, you actually destroyed my base!" Flame gritted his teeth. Although it wasn’t completely destroyed, it would take time to recover. More importantly, those poisonous insects and potion were ruined too. Brewing and refining them takes ages, steps are very intricate, so he’s really heartbroken now.
