Chapter 789: The Side-by-Side Formation

“Speaking of which, this is my first time seeing the [Phoenix] team…” Bai Li Pang Pang said while controlling his weapon, eliminating the few remaining “mysterious” beings within the borders. He gazed at the eight figures standing before the Shenlong Pass, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.

“Strange, why are they mostly women?”

“Well, aside from the vice-captain Kong Shang, the entire [Phoenix] team is made up of women,” An Qingyu explained. “It is said that to join the [Phoenix] team, one must gain the recognition of the Phoenix bloodline, and the probability of women receiving this recognition is much higher than that of men. Therefore, the [Phoenix] team has always had a majority of women, with at most three men at any given time.”

“Heroic women, huh?” Bai Li Pang Pang couldn’t help but clap his hands. “Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel a bit envious of that vice-captain…”

“Envious? Back when we were in Cangnan, the captain of the [Phoenix] team, Xia Simeng, was very eager to recruit Lin Qiye into the [Phoenix] team,” An Qingyu adjusted his glasses. “If it weren’t for Qiye’s mental confusion at that time, we would probably only have the vice-captain Lin Qiye in the [Phoenix] team now, instead of the captain of the [Nightfall] team.”

“Tsk, that’s fate for you…” Bai Li Pang Pang looked into the distance at the figure standing in the magic circle, suddenly feeling a bit grateful for Lin Qiye’s mental confusion. If Lin Qiye had chosen to join the [Phoenix] team back then, the [Nightfall] team would likely not exist now…

And he would probably just be a cold corpse buried in the Bai family of Guangshen.

In the grand scheme of things, everything seemed so coincidental yet so reasonable, as if an invisible hand was connecting the fates of all of them to Lin Qiye.

With the intervention of the [Phoenix] team, they directly shared the majority of the pressure faced by the [Nightfall] team, causing the number of beasts at the breach to rapidly decrease. Under the combined assault of the six, they quickly eliminated all of them.

“What should we do next?”

The six gathered together, looking at the chaotic battlefield around them. Shen Qingzhu asked.

After a moment of silence, everyone turned their gaze to An Qingyu.

With Lin Qiye absent, An Qingyu was the core of the team. With his extraordinary intelligence and decisiveness, he was definitely qualified to lead the entire [Nightfall] team.

An Qingyu scanned the members of the [Nightfall] team. Although they hadn’t been fighting for long, in the face of the beast tide, everyone except Jialan had sustained injuries, covered in mud and blood, yet their eyes remained bright.

After pondering for a moment, An Qingyu asked, “Can you all still fight?”

“Of course.” Jialan raised her hand and patted her chest. “I can keep fighting all day!”

“Roar—!!” Crazy Mo Caoyuan expressed strong agreement.

“These are just minor injuries; they don’t matter at all,” Shen Qingzhu said calmly. “Just give the order.”

Seeing that everyone was still in good condition, An Qingyu nodded and turned his gaze to the golden figures fighting in the beast tide beyond the steel city walls.

“Let’s go outside the wall; we can’t let the [Phoenix] team fight alone. After all… we are all special teams, just like them.

Special teams shouldn’t hide in the back.”

“Alright!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the six members of the [Nightfall] team rushed across the battlefield littered with blood and corpses, sprinting towards the broken city wall.

…

Outside the city wall.

Boom—!!

Xia Simeng threw a punch, directly smashing dozens of “mysterious” beings in front of her into countless fragments that flew through the air.

Amidst the endless roars and screams, Xia Simeng turned around and glanced at the few “mysterious” beings rushing toward the breach, her brows furrowing. She shouted to several teammates draped in golden cloaks not far away:

“Extend the battle line a bit more! The breach in the wall is too large; we haven’t blocked it all yet!”

“Yes!”

Upon hearing Xia Simeng’s voice, Kong Shang immediately dashed forward again. He carved a bloody path through the beast tide, but soon more “mysterious” beings surged up, separating him from the other team members, making it impossible to see each other’s situation.

A serious expression flashed in Kong Shang’s eyes.

At that moment, several screams from “mysterious” beings came from behind. He was taken aback and turned to look, only to see six figures, all covered in wounds, rushing out from the broken city wall!

“[Phoenix] team sisters! I’m here to help you!” Bai Li Pang Pang laughed heartily, his feet moving in a yin-yang taiji pattern, and in the next moment, he positioned himself at the breach in the [Phoenix] team’s defense.

He erupted with dazzling forbidden light, bracing against the impact of the beast tide.

Invisible threads danced in the air, crazily reaping the lives of the “mysterious” beings. Among the six, An Qingyu, carrying a black coffin, calmly walked to the side of the [Phoenix] team.

“Hello, [Phoenix],” he smiled and said, “We… are the [Nightfall].”

Xia Simeng immediately recognized these people as Lin Qiye’s teammates, but it was the first time she had heard the name [Nightfall].

“[Nightfall]?” Xia Simeng seemed to recall something, looking up at the pitch-black night sky, and smiled slightly. “That’s a nice name…”

…

In front of Shenlong Pass, the battlefield was in chaos.

The two special teams stood united before the broken city wall, firmly resisting the onslaught of the beast tide. Another special team had flown to the edge of their vision, beginning to execute a decapitation plan.

Only with the cooperation of the three teams could the situation be stabilized.

In the night sky, lines of green code suddenly appeared, floating and swirling in the void, quickly coalescing into a man wearing a checkered shirt and a flat cap.

“Finally made it…” Guan Zai glanced at the situation below and sighed deeply.

A few hours after leaving Shenlong Pass, Guan Zai had gone straight to the capital, preparing to find Lu Wuwei to hunt down the invader who had escaped into the mirror world. However, just as he handed the mirror over to the other party, a phone call came in, prompting him to rush back.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too late.

Guan Zai took a quick look at the situation and was about to tap in the code to join the battle when a blue light shot down from the clouds at an astonishing speed.

The blue light, hidden within the chaotic mist, resembled a giant bird. It seemed to have noticed Guan Zai’s presence, turning in the air and flying in front of him.

The blue light receded like a tide, the chaotic mist rolling and gradually solidifying into a young man draped in a dark red cloak.

“Zuo Qing, you finally made it,” Guan Zai said, raising an eyebrow upon seeing the man.
