After this man said this, they realized that he was not a subordinate of the person behind the scenes, but instead an unlucky guy who was on the missing list.

Looking at the injuries on his body, I thought he was a diehard member of the Weeping Cliff. But he was obviously a victim as well, and he was beaten up by the people who came to rescue him. How miserable he was.

Several people looked at the guy who was sitting on the ground and trapped tightly with strange expressions. They thought that Li Muye was not from the same group as them. He came just for the man who owed money.

Just beat him up, there's no place to seek justice from him anyway.

Seeing that he was conscious and clear-headed, he was completely different from Tang Ru and the others who were unable to communicate. It made people wonder what role he played in this incident.

Faced with the doubt, the man grinned awkwardly and said, "It was also because I didn't know the person well enough that I was fooled by Wu Xuzi. Oh, Wu Xuzi is the one who deceived us. He has a respectful title called Chen Hui Jushi, and he claims to be a madman obsessed with research."

"Tell me in detail how he tricked you." Chen Xiao asked with a serious face, and did not let his guard down just because this man was also a missing person.

"I had just left Yanxia Cliff when Wu Xuzi appeared and asked me if I was willing to go with him because there was an opportunity in front of me. I asked what it was, and he told me directly that it could improve my cultivation. I didn't believe him at the time, because I had never gotten such a good thing as pie in the sky." He said, "In the end, he immediately told me that my talent was mainly wood spiritual roots, and my realm. He saw my spiritual roots in just one encounter, without even fighting. I was stunned at the time."

He smiled bitterly and said, "Then he revealed his identity as an out-of-body cultivator and bewitched me by saying that if I volunteered to go with him, he would guarantee that my cultivation would rise by three small realms in a short period of time. If I rose by three small realms, I would reach the great perfection of the foundation-building stage. To be honest, it was impossible for me not to be tempted. At that time, I specifically asked him what price I would have to pay. Wu Xuzi did not elaborate, only saying that I only needed to work for him for a period of time."

He sighed and lamented, "But who could have thought that Wu Xuzi only talked about the benefits and didn't mention the harm. This short-term improvement in realm will cause permanent changes in the nature of the spiritual roots. When those of us who were deceived by him learned the details, we wanted to leave, but we couldn't. Wu Xuzi didn't allow those who knew the inside story to leave the Weeping Cliff. In order to survive, we had to live in disgrace and endure the humiliation."

Listening to his experience, it seems quite tragic and makes people feel sympathy.

Li Muye fed the beast and sent it flying. He walked over and sneered, "Don't flatter yourself. Maybe some people are trying to survive, enduring humiliation and waiting for a chance to survive, but you are definitely not one of them!"

He turned to Chen Xiao and the others and said bluntly, "Don't be fooled by his sweet words. This man won't tell the truth unless he is beaten. Wu Xuzi certainly tricked him into falling for it, but this man didn't tell Wu Xuzi the truth. He was not born with a wood-type spiritual root, but was transformed by swallowing natural treasures. Wu Xuzi's so-called opportunity has no effect on his impure spiritual roots."

Li Muye glanced at the man sitting on the ground with disdain. "Wu Xuzi originally wanted to give up on him, but this man was unwilling to miss the opportunity and voluntarily joined Wu Xuzi and became a lackey. Where do you think I found him? In the dungeon of the stone fortress, he was well fed and well fed, and was the head of the cell there!"

Tong Nuonuo just felt a little sympathy for this man, but suddenly felt that her feelings were wasted.

At the same time, he secretly reflected on himself, why was he still so gullible and believed everything others said?

Especially in front of Li Muye, it was really embarrassing.

The man knelt up, took a few steps on his knees, and shouted at them, "Masters, you have wronged me! Think about it, under the circumstances at that time, if I had not pretended to serve him, Wu Xuzi would have been the first to kill me! I could only pretend to be compliant, and I was definitely not willing to go along with him."

Li Muye heard him complaining and laughed, "If you want to go along with Wu Xuzi, you have to be qualified." After laughing, he said, "You said you are not willing to be a lackey, then explain why you had no intention of responding to me when you saw me sneaking into the dungeon, and your first reaction was to trigger the mechanism?"

The man had cold sweat on his forehead and tried to defend himself, "I, I was just trying to protect myself. Wu Xuzi was too powerful. If I hadn't triggered the mechanism at that time, I would have been the one to be punished afterwards."

Li Muye didn't say anything else, just sneered. Tong Nuonuo realized that this man was guarding the dungeon, and the one who could break in must be going to rescue people.

If what he said was true, he should have helped the people who came to rescue him instead of making things difficult for them. His actions immediately made it clear that he was an enemy, not a friend.

Chen Xiao only cares about what he cares about and is a bit cold-blooded towards irrelevant people.

From his master Fang Gu in his previous life, to Xi Yunting in this life, and even people like Tong Nuonuo who are of slightly lower status, there are only a few people whom he can regard as his own.

At this moment, he only cared about Tang Ru's experience. He was impatient to watch this man's performance and distinguish what he said. If his soul-suppressing bell had not been broken in the Shenzhou Atlas, he would have used evil spirits to torture him.

Chen Xiao became more and more indifferent. Tong Nuonuo said angrily, "Let's beat him up."

Li Muye thought so too. Just as he was about to go over and grab the man and beat him up again, Xi Yunting raised his hand.

The man screamed and rolled on the ground. Soon he looked like he had been fished out of the water.

This time when I asked him again, he behaved himself and didn't dare to play tricks or try to get away with it. The move just now was too cruel, it was like being thrown into hell.

He said that besides being afraid of death, he was willing to work for Wu Xuzi mainly for the benefits that the other party had promised him, which allowed him to advance three small realms in a short period of time.

What Wu Xuzi called an opportunity was nothing more than using special means to transform wood-attributed spiritual roots into rare poisonous spiritual roots. What he said was true, he indeed transformed several cultivators with wood-attributed spiritual roots into poisonous spiritual roots, and stimulated their potential, raising them to several small realms.

But the price was painful. The blood of these people turned from bright red to blue-purple, and was also highly poisonous. At the same time, they also lost some of their body functions. Their tongues could no longer taste anything, and their vision and hearing became dull.

If that were the case, some people who were willing to take risks in order to cultivate immortality would not be unacceptable. But Wu Xuzi had a more sinister purpose besides using them for experiments.

He had no intention of letting these people go, and while performing the conversion method, he used magic to establish a connection with them, directly brainwashing them and making them obey his orders.

Because of this person's later well-behaved behavior, he also secretly collected a lot of information.

Wu Xuzi's experiment was not very successful, and the chance of failure was very high. The dead bodies were thrown directly under the cliff of Youyan Cliff.

At first he just went to other realms to cheat people, but recently he became more and more rampant and kidnapped people directly at Yanxia Cliff.

Chen Xiao was very skeptical about what he said: "If you say that others were deceived by Wu Xuzi, I would believe it, but if you say that Ah Rou could also be deceived, I don't believe it. Ah Rou has a single spiritual root of the wood element, and her future is limitless. It is impossible for her to be persuaded by Wu Xuzi with a few words."

Tong Nuonuo also agreed, "That's right. Unless they are obsessed and go astray, the cultivation speed of cultivators with single spiritual root talents is not slow. Ah Rou will never agree to improve three small realms, even if it is to improve a large realm, if it involves shortcuts with hidden dangers."

Although Tang Ru was born in the remote Ali Village, her teacher Sariam was a worldly-wise man. With Sariam's teachings, Tang Ru would not be so short-sighted.

The man nodded, "I know who you are talking about, the short person named Tang Ru. She was not bewitched and came here voluntarily. She was knocked unconscious by Wu Xuzi and brought back. Wu Xuzi's experiment was stuck in a bottleneck, and a person with a single spiritual root of the wood attribute appeared in front of him. How could he not be tempted? Regardless of whether Tang Ru was willing or not, she could not escape Wu Xuzi's hands. After Tang Ru was brought back, Wu Xuzi spent all his attention on her as if she had found a treasure. It can be said that that period of time was a period of comfort for the people in the dungeon. The talent of a single spiritual root is indeed unique. Wu Xuzi converted it in one go, and it was the most successful one so far. Tang Ru was directly promoted from the foundation-building stage to the Nascent Soul stage."

Chen Xiao's face was gloomy, and Tong Nuonuo's face was also as gloomy as iron. From the transformation of wood spiritual roots to poisonous spiritual roots, it was frightening to hear that there were so many hidden dangers.

Xi Yunting got to the heart of the matter: "During this period, did the robbery cloud appear?"

The man was startled, and he shook his head: "I didn't hear any sound of thunder falling, so there shouldn't be any."

The hearts of the three people sank to the bottom. It was still unclear whether the cultivators who had not been promoted by the Tribulation Cloud would be able to continue practicing Taoism in the future.

Li Muye's focus was different from theirs. He asked, "What is Wu Xuzi's main occupation?"

The man looked strange and said, "He has many main duties, but you can also say that he has no main duty. Have you seen the mechanism in the dungeon? He made it himself. But he is not a mechanism master. In his stone castle, there are alchemy furnaces and smelting furnaces. But he is not an alchemist or a weapon master. He knows a little about mechanisms, alchemy, medicine, and weapon making. I don't know if Jing is proficient in it, but anyway, as long as he will use it in his experiments, he will study it thoroughly."

Li Muye was amazed and said, "No wonder he dares to call himself a madman."

Chen Xiao and the others wanted to ask for more details when they heard the sound of a mechanical bomb exploding at the edge of the vine forest.

One after another, Elder Pi, Master Gushan, Jinghui, Sariam and several other Jindan stage cultivators escaped and returned.

Except for the lucky Tong Nuonuo, all the Foundation Establishment Stage warriors were wiped out, including the disciples brought by the Lonely Mountain Master, none of whom returned.

Xi Yunting directly handed the man captured by Li Muye to Elder Pi. The heartbroken Master of Lonely Mountain tortured him and got everything he wanted out of him.

Li Muye didn't want to deal with people like Elder Pi, so he flew away without saying hello again.

Elder Pi and his men did not bother to care about this man who had made such a great contribution. They seized every opportunity to gather people and planned to attack the Youyan Cliff once again.

This time it was not a small fight involving dozens of people. Tong Nuonuo's arrangement worked. Masters from the Council of Elders and Zhishitang came out together, and together with the relatives and friends of the casualties, hundreds of people gradually gathered.

It seemed that a great battle was about to take place that would rewrite the history of Yanxia Cliff.
