About half an hour later, after the last witch sister had recovered, Long Momo ordered them to leave. After all, it was urgent for her to go to the Dragon God Palace, as Long Hao might already be inside.
Of course, Long Momo didn't forget about the people who had "left" earlier. It was obvious that those guys would be ambushing them outside, trying to take advantage of the situation.
"Those guys must be ambushing us outside, trying to take advantage of the fact that we just went through a battle and haven't fully recovered yet," Long Momo said.
"Hehe!" Long Nisi smiled, a smile that left Bexia speechless. Having lived with Long Nisi for several years, Bexia knew that she was up to something. She had seen this cunning smile from Long Nisi countless times before.
"Why don't we turn the tables on them? Since they won't know what's happening inside, they definitely won't expect that Bexia single-handedly killed the guardians. How about we pretend to be weak and catch them off guard?"
"Isn't Bexia the one with the advanced invisible cloak?"
"Yes."
"Can you lend it to me?"
"Sure!" Bexia readily agreed and took out the invisible cloak without hesitation. This showed her trust in Long Nisi. After all, this cloak was a champion-level item that could easily cause a fight among champions. Its value was extremely high.
"Later, you guys pretend to be injured and weak when you go out to deceive them. Meanwhile, I'll wear the invisible cloak and attack them from behind. Once I make my move, you guys can go all out and attack them."
"Okay!" Long Momo nodded in agreement. This plan had a clear advantage. While they might not necessarily lose in a head-on confrontation, considering the time and casualties, Long Nisi's method was better.
In terms of strength, Long Momo herself, along with Long Nisi, Bexia, and Isha, were much stronger than the other six witch sisters. On the other side, there were nearly twenty people. In a real fight, the witch sisters wouldn't stand a chance. For the safety of these people, Long Momo naturally agreed to the plan. She had a deep emotional connection with these witch sisters whom she had grown up with. The death of one of them had already caused her great sorrow.
And Long Momo was happy to deceive those people as well. She, like Long Nisi, had a bit of a dark side, although it wasn't as evident externally. Bexia had some understanding of this.
After discussing how to implement the following steps of deceiving the enemy, Long Nisi left with a mischievous smile, leaving Bexia and the others unable to suppress their laughter.
"Shouldn't we add something else next?!" Long Momo said as she took out a bottle from her spatial item. When she opened it, a bloody smell filled the air. It was obviously blood, but it was actually the high-level monster blood she used for drawing talismans and runes.
Bexia and the others immediately understood what Long Momo meant. However, Long Momo didn't actually intend to smear the monster blood on herself, nor was it meant for the other witch sisters. After all, they were all girls and wouldn't appreciate the blood smell.
But Bexia was not! He was the only male in the group, and as he looked at Long Momo's smile, Bexia immediately felt something was wrong. Then, at the signal of Long Momo, a group of priestesses pinned him down and began "applying makeup"...
Outside the barrier, the dozen or so people lying in ambush stared at the only passage that led out of the canyon. One of them couldn't help but say impatiently, "We've been waiting for so long. What if they've escaped?"
"It's impossible. Long Hao said there is only one way out of this Misty Gorge, and you've all seen it before. It's enclosed on three sides, with only this entrance and exit!"
"That's what he said, but what if they don't come out? And once they fully recover, they'll be difficult to deal with!" one person worriedly mentioned.
"That guy, Long Hao, gave me a special talisman. As long as I crush it by Long Momo's side, she'll be severely injured and weakened, with no fighting power left. Then it won't be difficult to deal with the others, right?"
"Is it true? Is there really such a powerful talisman?" the person expressed disbelief.
"It should be true. Long Hao and Long Momo are competing for the position of the high priest. It is most advantageous for him to get rid of Long Momo through us. If he dares to deceive us, we can just split up and run later. I don't believe that Long Momo can catch up with us!"
"Well, be careful anyway!" Just as he said that, suddenly the surroundings brightened, and a figure appeared in the misty gorge.
Then Long Momo and the others appeared in front of everyone, with the priestesses looking a little listless. As for Long Momo who they were most concerned about, she carried a boy covered in "blood stains," the same boy they had seen with Long Momo before.
"That guy ended up being so badly injured?" the leader frowned. He was none other than the second heir of the Saint Shield family.
"He probably took a direct hit from the guardian. The loud explosion just now must have been the powerful magic unleashed by the guardian. This guy was probably hit head-on!" someone speculated.
"What does it matter? If we can win, let's fight. If we can't, let's run! What do you think, Young Master Yage?"
"Alright then, let's go!" With a command from Yage, the second heir of the Saint Shield family, the dozen or so people swiftly descended from both sides of the mountain pass, surrounding Long Momo and the others in a pincer movement.
"What are you trying to do?" The priestesses showed expressions of "terror," one by one drawing the commanding daggers from their waists, cautiously watching the people surrounding them.
"Hehe! We don't mean any harm. We just want to take back what belongs to us. If Goddess can hand over what we want, then we can leave!" Yage showed a gentle smile and said, his every move displaying the courtesy befitting a noble.
Yage was also a smart person. They didn't have any hatred towards Long Momo, any conflict between them was simply due to conflicting interests. As long as they could obtain what they wanted, it would be fine to let Long Momo go. Who knew if Long Momo might go on a rampage later? After all, her combat prowess was too strong. Even in her dying moments, she could probably strike back hard at them.
Is it really okay to kill recklessly in this Dragon God's space? Obviously, that's impossible. His family behind him would not allow him to kill Long Momo here. If they really decided to take action, it couldn't be him who did it, otherwise, they would suffer a great loss of benefits.
You should know that Long Momo's parents are high-level members of the Great Dragon Church and have a significant say in matters. If you kill their only daughter and expect them to give you a favorable treatment, that is clearly impossible. Such actions will only result in greater losses.
