"How's the situation?" Chen Xiao asked Xi Yunting expectantly.

Because of their cultivation and status, Chen Xiao and Tong Nuonuo were not allowed to attend the pre-war meeting. Only Xi Yunting and Jing Hui were invited.

But this invitation is just to attend.

The Master of Lonely Mountain was furious because his disciple had died. He even seized the power from the Council of Elders, and the Council of Elders, which had lost all its prestige, did not even dare to protest.

The plan made by the man on Lonely Mountain is very radical. He does not intend to let anyone alive except those in the dungeon.

Sariam raised objections several times, but was rejected by the man on Lonely Mountain every time.

Her disciples were precious, and the disciples of the Lonely Mountain Master were not weeds. Although it was not her original intention, after all, the death of the person was directly related to Tang Ru.

If Tang Ru still had hope of turning over a new leaf, the Lonely Mountain Master could swallow his hatred and let her go. But when the captive said that Tang Ru and others were brainwashed and controlled by magic, he knew that even if he rescued her, she would no longer be a normal person. Of course, this was only the Lonely Mountain Master's superficial attitude. Who knows what he really thinks in his heart.

Almost no one stood on Sariam's side. Although they listened to Xi Yunting and Jing Hui's words with respect, they still had no intention of changing their minds.

"How can this be!" Tong Nuonuo couldn't believe it. "Our original purpose was to save people, but now we are not willing to try to see if we can turn them back to normal, and we directly sentence them to death! Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?!"

Jinghui was also full of anger. If he had not tried hard to suppress his temper by moving the Buddhist beads hanging on his body, he would have directly confronted the Monk on Gushan Mountain.

"Humph! They all have their own agenda and don't want to hurt themselves any more." Jing Hui saw it clearly and became even angrier. "These cultivators whose spiritual roots were transformed by Wu Xuzi have poisonous spells when they cast them. They have the upper hand in the battle. Killing them directly is of course less laborious than capturing them alive."

Xi Yunting said coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with them, and it has no benefit. It is not surprising that they are unwilling to make any effort. The world is just like this."

Chen Xiao could understand it intellectually, but he couldn't accept it emotionally. "Are we just going to watch Ah Rou die?"

Xi Yunting turned to look at him and said, "Fellow Daoist Tang has outstanding spiritual roots. If Wu Xuzi cherishes her talent, he will not damage her sea of ​​consciousness too much. And magic control can only be done on the premise that the person casting the spell is alive."

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, "You mean, if Wu Xuzi died, Ah Rou would most likely recover her memory?"

Xi Yunting nodded affirmatively, "That's a possibility."

"That's great!" Tong Nuonuo couldn't help herself, "Let's tell them the good news right away!"

Jing Hui smiled bitterly, "Do you think we didn't tell you? To confirm this, Wu Xuzi must die before Tang Ru, but no one can guarantee this. It can be said that the Master of Gushan has a mortal enemy with Tang Ru. Even if this is possible, he will not try. He may even obstruct it in every possible way and let Tang Ru die first."

Chen Xiao frowned, "What should I do?"

Jing Hui smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xi and I have already thought of a solution!"

Xi Yunting said: "Since the people on Lonely Mountain are unwilling to give us a chance, there is no need for us to act with them. Sari from Ali Village will cover us, and then we will go up the mountain in advance and enter the stone fort on the cliff. We will find ways to intercept Fellow Daoist Tang outside the battlefield and wait until Wu Xuzi is killed. If Fellow Daoist Tang recovers, everyone will be happy. If Fellow Daoist Tang does not recover, we will take her away directly."

Jing Hui nodded and added, "Even though Sari is delaying the people on Lonely Mountain, we have to act as soon as possible." He turned to Tong Nuonuo, "By the way, if you can contact the immortal master who captured the prisoners, it would be best to have him lead the way."

Tong Nuonuo completely put his personal emotions aside at this moment. He nodded seriously and ran away to give Li Muye a secret signal.

Li Muye had given him a wooden whistle before, which could make a sound that only fierce beasts could hear. This sound had an extremely low frequency and was mixed in the wind, so even if there were many powerful people at the Out-of-Body Stage at the scene, they would not be able to hear it.

A moment later, Li Muye came alone.

He was very low-key. At this moment, the reinforcements requested by the Elder Council and the people from Zhishitang were coming one after another. He blended in with them and no one noticed him.

Tong Nuonuo curled her lips. It was obvious from the sneaky behavior that the man had done too many bad things.

Xi Yunting and Jing Hui stepped forward to communicate with Li Muye, and Li Muye agreed without hesitation.

His client was a person with low talent and bad luck, and had already been thrown off the cliff. Without the client, Li Muye's business deal was completely ruined.

He could have just left, but I don't know why he stayed here. Maybe he wanted to find an opportunity to make a fortune?

Tong Nuonuo speculated with some malice.

Not sure if he received a malicious signal, but Li Muye suddenly looked over. Tong Nuonuo quickly looked away, looking at the sky and the earth but not at him!

Li Muye chuckled, turned around and agreed on a time for action with Xi Yunting, then left again in a low-key manner.

The Fujilin maze is impenetrable. To be honest, there is no difference in vision between entering during the day and at night.

However, the hermit on Lonely Mountain learned his lesson and decided to redeploy his troops in the early morning of the next day. He even specially arranged a team to bypass the vine forest maze and attack the cliff stone fortress from behind.

This change was so sudden that Chen Xiao and his companions had to set off early, enter the encirclement early, and wait for Li Muye at the designated location.

The entire Youyan Cliff was covered with vines, and the cover grew bigger with each day it was not seen.

Four people followed behind Li Muye, flying close to the maximum altitude of the vine forest. If they made the slightest mistake, countless vines would emerge from underneath and wrap around them.

After several dangerous encounters, the vines finally reached the cliff where the stone fortress was located.

There is no change here from the day before yesterday. The surface with exposed rocks and sand is touching to see. Finally, there are no damn vines.

Chen Xiao wanted to approach the gate of the stone fortress, but was stopped by Li Muye: "Although there seems to be no defense from the front, we can't take it lightly. Let's go in another direction."

The outer area has been turned into a maze, and yet they still want to do something in front of their own front door. How insecure a person must be to do such a thing?

However, Chen Xiao did not raise any objections and tried not to land. He followed Li Muye in the air and went around the back of the cliff.

This side is a cliff and the environment is extremely dangerous. Even if the world's most skilled rock climber came here, he would not be able to find a suitable path.

Li Muye led them to an inner valley where the angle was more than vertical, pointed at a stone door and said, "Enter from here and you can directly reach the dungeon. This is the back door that Wu Xuzi reserved for disposing of corpses, and it can be said to have the lowest defense."

Chen Xiao still had questions: "Even if it's lower, there can't be no early warning defense on this road, right?"

Li Muye said: "Wu Xuzi obviously trusts those poisonous root cultivators who have been transformed by him. Besides, he may not want to invest more in defense, or he may be more confident in his mechanical skills. There are only a few traps on this route. When I caught the jailer, he triggered one." At this point, he looked at Tong Nuonuo: "You should be able to solve the remaining traps, right? Or do you need me to continue leading the way?"

Tong Nuonuo's face flushed red as if she was insulted, and she said stiffly, "No!"

Li Muye saw that he was getting anxious, so he decided to quit while he was ahead. He nodded and said, "Then I wish you good luck."

After saying that, he turned around and jumped directly into the abyss under the cliff. A ferocious beast appeared silently and carried him away.

Chen Xiao was puzzled: "He won't move with us?"

Xi Yunting stroked his back, "Maybe he has other plans."

Chen Xiao didn't believe that Li Muye would help for free. Although he didn't think like Tong Nuonuo that he would try every means to make a fortune, it was totally unlike Li Muye's style not to take away any spoils.

Jinghui walked in front and stopped when encountering danger. If it was a mechanism, he would let Tong Nuonuo dismantle it, and if it was a spell, he would solve it.

Li Muye had only reached the dungeon before, and he had no idea of ​​the route ahead.

Jing Hui was holding a defensive magic shield, Xi Yunting was holding a heavy sword, Chen Xiao was holding an attacking paper talisman, and Tong Nuonuo was walking at the end.

When they arrived at the dungeon, it was empty and they did not see the prisoners that Li Muye mentioned.

"Wait, this road is coming to an end." Jing Hui said in a voice transmission.

Chen Xiao and Tong Nuonuo stopped in tacit understanding. If they moved forward, they would leave the dungeon and enter the ground space of the stone fortress.

Xi Yunting calculated the time in his mind and realized that it was almost the early morning of the next day and the agreed time was approaching.

He sent a message to Jing Hui: "We can't wait any longer."

Jinghui was a little worried. After all, Wu Xuzi was an immortal cultivator in the out-of-body stage, and there was no way they could not help but alarm him.

Xi Yunting calmly took out a small cage-like cover that shone with a faint golden light, and made a seal with his fingers. A halo flashed, and it instantly grew larger and disappeared. "It's OK now."

Jing Hui couldn't believe it: "Is this the Golden Thread Cover? Senior Tai Su actually passed it on to you!"

He was so surprised that he forgot to transmit his voice. Fortunately, the sound inside the golden veil could not be transmitted outside.

Tong Nuonuo asked curiously: "What kind of magic weapon is the Golden Thread Cover?"

Chen Xiao next to him couldn't suppress the heat in his ears and looked away embarrassedly.

Jing Hui was still in disbelief, "This isn't a magic weapon, it's a magic treasure! A rare and top-quality item in the world of immortal cultivation! When I wasn't familiar with Fellow Daoist Xi, we brothers often discussed who Tai Su would leave this magic treasure to, and it unexpectedly fell into your hands!"

"It's a long story." Xi Yunting avoided the main point and said seriously, "The main thing is the important thing."

Under the cover of the golden veil, the four people's subsequent actions went smoothly.

After leaving the dungeon, they followed the corridors of the stone castle and searched every room.

There was no one in the stone fort at this time. Not only was there no one left behind, but even Wu Xuzi was not there.

Although they did not find Tang Ru, they made an important discovery. While searching the stone fort, they found Wu Xuzi's workshop.

Like any research geek, Wu Xuzi would also record his achievements in files, and Tang Ru's file was right at the top.
