Chapter 1080: Chapter 782: The Mysterious Stranger Appears (2)

"So foolish."

"Just like when you were a kid, exactly the same..."

Shen Tang seemed to hear a fleeting, helpless sigh, brushing past her ear like the wind, but it disappeared in an instant, almost as if it were an illusion.

At the same time, when Shen Tang was passing through the tunnel, she felt an intense force pulling at her, as if it wanted to tear her soul into pieces. Then came a dizzying spin, causing her to lose consciousness in an instant.

When she opened her eyes again, Shen Tang found herself away from the Divine Hall, in an unfamiliar and serene valley.

The surrounding mountains stood like sharp blades trying to pierce the sky, covered in dense forests, very secluded.

She had no idea what had happened, she even thought she was still in the Illusion Realm, stretching out her hand to pinch her thigh hard.

Hiss!

It hurt a lot.

She wasn’t dreaming.

Shen Tang touched her chest and felt the solid, warm heartbeat... she was alive and well.

She quickly confirmed that this time it was definitely not an illusion, she had truly escaped from the Divine Hall.

Shen Tang turned her head to look at the wilderness around her, discovering that the Beast Husband were nowhere to be seen, leaving only her alone.

After all, they had forcefully broken out from the entrance of the Divine Hall, where a space vortex was, and likely got separated in the process.

Shen Tang asked the system to locate the Beast Husband, finding that they were indeed far apart and scattered.

As Shen Tang tried to find them, she continued to face pursuit from the Divine Hall.

She had no choice but to battle with the pursuers.

Shen Tang didn’t want to implicate the Beastmen further, so instead of going in their direction, she purposefully chose the opposite path, diverting the pursuers from the Divine Hall.

The true target of the Divine Hall was her, so they surely dispatched a massive force to capture her, and those two Holy Seats would probably come quickly as well.

Shen Tang had already given everything to Shen Li; even if captured, she had no regrets. She had even thought, if driven to despair, she would take someone down with her, even in death!

"This female is already at the end of her strength, she’s not our match, all together, capture her!"

The pursuers from the Divine Hall attacked more arrogantly and madly. Numerous energy-condensed chains attacked her like venomous snakes.

Shen Tang had already exhausted much energy; outnumbered, defeat was certain, and a glimpse of resolve flickered in her eyes.

However, as the Beastman approached to capture her, a strange, powerful aura descended abruptly, sweeping away like a tsunami.

"Ah—"

The Beastman charging ahead were all blasted away by this might superpower.

More invisible superpowers rapidly gathered in the air, as if thousands of whirlpools appeared, like a rain of bombs falling from high above.

The entire area turned into a brutal bombing zone, the piercing blasts never-ending. All the Beastman in the area were bombarded, their screams unending, either dead or wounded.

Several strong commanders barely resisted the onslaught of superpowers and still attempted to capture the female.

But suddenly, they felt an invisible force grasp their throats, lifting them high.

Soon after, with a bang, these commanders were flung a hundred meters away, crashing into the rocks. The cliffs were smashed into massive pits, countless boulders collapsed, burying them, unseen again.

The tides of the battle changed in an instant.

Shen Tang was stunned by the scene.

She assumed these attacks were directed at her but didn’t expect... they all fell on the Divine Hall’s pursuers.

Moreover, as the bombardment fell, an energy barrier formed around her, securely protecting her inside, not a speck of dust touching even the hem of her clothes.

But the commotion here was too great, attracting even more Divine Hall Beastman to continuously flood in; they couldn’t kill them all.

As the space rippled, a tall and slender figure suddenly appeared in front of Shen Tang, grabbing her hand, "Come with me."

The man, dressed in a black robe, accentuated his stature—straight and slender, exuding an aura of stern, cold frigidity. He wore a black mask with silver patterns; under the sunlight, the patterns seemed to glimmer with a metallic luster, appearing exceptionally cold and abstinent. The black leather gloves further highlighted the hand, long and defined, as if an artful masterpiece meticulously crafted.

When he held her hand, a thread of coolness penetrated directly to her skin. Shen Tang paused abruptly, staring blankly at the person in front of her, wary, "Who—who are you? Let me go."

Shen Tang immediately tried to withdraw her hand, but it was seized tightly by his iron grip, impossible to escape.

"If you don’t want to die, come with me. I’m not your enemy."

"Words alone aren’t enough. I don’t even know who you are, why should I trust you? How did you happen to appear here? Are you also sent by the Divine Hall? What scheme are you plotting?"

He chuckled softly, "Heh, if I hadn’t appeared, you’d be caught by the Divine Hall by now, laid on a surgery table, becoming a little lab rat for dissection."

"..." Shen Tang’s expression stiffened, speechless.

"Now is not the time to explain. Come with me first, once we’re safe, I’ll answer any questions you have."

Shen Tang gritted her teeth. She didn’t know the true identity of the person before her, but seeing the Divine Hall’s pursuers closing in again, she understood that if she didn’t flee now, she’d be captured.

Even if this person really was from the Divine Hall, at worst she’d still be captured... if she had to be caught either way, she might as well gamble!

Shen Tang stopped struggling. The man raised his hand, tearing the space, and the two figures vanished in an instant.

When Mansa and Zong Gao arrived, it was already deserted, with nothing to be found.

Mansa’s enchanting and handsome face twisted with anger, "How is this possible? The area was completely enclosed by our energy, that female’s Space Ability should be unusable, how did she escape?"

Zong Gao gazed at the empty ground, where a faint trace of an aura lingered, lost in thought.

In the Divine Hall, it was the same method employed.

Likely the work of the same person.

To break through the energy barrier they set, the opposing force must be at least on par with theirs, possibly greater!

Few in the world are their equals.

Especially for a flaw appearing within the Divine Hall...

This is an error that should never occur.

"Do you remember, some time ago, the Hunting Leopard Clan’s lab was raided once. At that time, the entire system operations of the lab went down for three minutes, until now, it’s unknown who could pull off such a feat," said Zong Gao solemnly.

Mansa remembered it too, no one had ever acted so brazenly under the Divine Hall’s nose. At that lab, the Energy Crystal Core of the Leopard Clan’s replication experiment was stored, a precious object they painstakingly obtained, originally intended for the lab in the main part of the Divine Hall but kept there for collaboration with the Hunting Leopard Clan.

Yet, even so, that lab was heavily guarded; the forces stationed by the Divine Hall were no less than the main part, yet it still got raided.

Who in this world could achieve such a thing?
