Chapter 318 Lay Down Your Weapons and Don’t Kill

Yu Zhongdou, Meng Na, Ming Qi and others were lurking in the dark, quietly observing the tense situation.

Yu Zhongdou crouched down, staring at the two opposing parties, his hands unconsciously clenched the hilt of the knife at his waist, he was so nervous that he dared not breathe, and muttered in a low voice: "This atmosphere is so tense, it feels like a fight is about to break out."

Mona hid behind a huge rock and poked her head out. Her eyes were shining with excitement and nervousness. She whispered, "Shh, don't make any noise. We can finally see a big fight."

Ming Qi had a stern expression and sharp eyes, like a cheetah ready to pounce in the shadows, carefully observing every subtle movement of the White Lotus members and the temple guards, quickly calculating the development of the situation in his mind.

He slightly turned sideways and whispered to the two people beside him, "Be careful, our goal this time is to watch them fight each other, so don't expose yourself too early."

At this time, the tension between Elder Xun Gang and Liang Palace became increasingly intense. Elder Xun Gang took a step forward, his aura rising suddenly, and pointed the long sword in his hand directly at Liang Gong, roaring: "Liang Gong, you despicable villain, taking my apprentice as a hostage, what a skill! If you don't hand over Chengri intact today, I will raze your hypocritical temple to the ground!"

His voice resounded like a huge bell, causing an echo. The White Lotus sect members behind him also became indignant, waving their weapons and shouting in support of their elder.

Liang Gong was not moved at all. With a contemptuous smile on his face, he said slowly: "Xun Gang, you are still so impatient. This Quanchun Town should be under the jurisdiction of our temple. Your White Lotus Sect is here to disturb the people. As long as you promise to take your people away, I will naturally release your apprentice."

As he spoke, he waved his hand gently, and a guard escorted Sun Chengzai out of the temple.

Sun Chengzai's face was full of fear and helplessness. When he saw his master, hope instantly ignited in his eyes and he shouted loudly: "Master, save me!"

When Elder Xun Gang saw his disciple suffering, the rage in his heart burned even more fiercely. He flashed and rushed towards Liang Palace.

However, Liang Gong was prepared, and the guards beside him quickly stepped forward and formed a human wall to protect him behind them.

At the same time, more guards poured out of the temple, armed with weapons and ready for battle, confronting the White Lotus sect members. The two sides were on the verge of a fight, and the air was filled with strong murderous intent.

Yu Zhongdou couldn't help but move forward again, wanting to see more clearly. But he was grabbed by Ming Qi.

Ming Qi glared at him and said in a low voice: "Do you want to ruin the whole thing? Now is not the time for us to take action."

Yu Zhongdou shrank his neck in dismay and muttered, "I was just too excited. Seeing them like this, I really wanted to rush up and do something big."

Mona at the side couldn't help but get excited: "When are we going to start?"

Ming Qi shook his head and said with a firm look, "It's not time yet. Their fight has just begun. We have to wait until both of them are seriously injured before we take action to clean up the mess. Only then can we achieve twice the result with half the effort."

At this moment, Elder Xun Gang shouted loudly and took the lead in attacking the temple guards.

The sword in his hand danced with a cold light flashing, like a silver lightning, piercing straight at a guard in the human wall.

The guard quickly raised his sword to resist, but was forced back by Elder Xun Gang's powerful strength.

Seeing this, the White Lotus Sect members also shouted and rushed towards the temple guards. For a moment, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the two sides fell into a fierce melee...

Mengna's face flushed with excitement. She stared at the fighting on the battlefield and kept repeating, "Fight, fight!"

Her hands trembled slightly with excitement, and she couldn't wait to rush up and join the battle.

Yu Zhongdou was also infected by the tense and exciting atmosphere. His throat seemed to be choked by something and he could only make low, suppressed cries. His eyes followed the figure of Elder Xun Gang intently and he gripped the hilt of the knife tighter in his hand. His knuckles turned white due to the force.

On the battlefield, Elder Xun Gang attacked like a tide. His swordsmanship was sharp and fierce. Every time he swung his sword, there was a whistling sound of the wind. Wherever he went, the temple guards could not resist and were forced to retreat step by step.

Encouraged by the elders, the members of the White Lotus Sect also mustered their strength and marched forward bravely. In a short while, they actually tore open several holes in the defense line of the temple guards.

Seeing Elder Xun Gang stepping into the trap he had carefully set, Liang Gong felt ecstatic.

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, a gleam of success flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to quickly form seals with his hands and mutter to himself.

As he moved, the ground suddenly shook violently. Mysterious runes emerged from the ground and quickly intertwined into a huge formation, enveloping the White Lotus Sect members.

At the same time, he shouted, "Quick, release the monsters we have raised for a long time. We must catch all the White Lotus Sect members in one fell swoop today!"

However, at this moment, a guard ran over in a panic and reported in a trembling voice: "High Priest, it's bad! The monster in the underground palace... is gone!"

When Liang Gong heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly. He was struck by lightning and his eyes widened in disbelief: "What did you say? Say it again!"

The guard was so frightened that he fell to his knees and repeated tremblingly: "All the monsters in the underground palace have disappeared, not a single one is left!"

Liang Gong felt dizzy. He couldn't understand why those monsters, which they had spent so much effort and resources to raise, disappeared at this critical moment.

His face turned pale instantly, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

“Hahahaha… Liang Gong, do you think you can trap me with this little trick of yours? Since I dare to come here alone with my brothers, how could I not be prepared at all!”

Elder Xun Gang threw his head back and laughed, his laughter was full of pride and joy, that laughter seemed to penetrate the clouds, making the air around him buzz.

"It's you? It was you who stole the monster from my underground palace?!" Liang Gong was shocked.

He didn't expect that while he was plotting against Xun Gang, this guy actually dared to plot against him?

Liang Gong yelled, "Where did you take the monster I have worked so hard to raise for so many years? I tell you, if you don't hand it over, the temple will not let you go..."

"As long as I kill you, I will support another one of my own to take over. Do you think the temple will know?" Elder Xun Gang snorted coldly, "Do you think I don't know the nature of your temple? Others may not know, but I know that your temple is in chaos and has no energy to care about a useless small branch temple like you..."

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to do it.

Although the White Lotus Sect is quite powerful, it still has to stay away from the so-called "orthodoxy".

Unfortunately...

Elder Xun Gang's eyes turned cold, and under his command, the White Lotus Sect members in the formation mobilized their own strength to form a powerful combined force with Elder Xun Gang.

Elder Xun Gang was seen muttering something, and the long sword in his hand suddenly thrust into the ground. A dazzling light quickly spread out with the long sword as the center.

Wherever the light reached, the mysterious runes shattered, making a crisp sound, just like glass being shattered.

In just a moment, the seemingly indestructible huge formation collapsed and turned into starlight that dissipated into the air.

Liang Gong looked at the scene in front of him with his eyes wide open, almost popping out of his sockets, his face full of shock and anger.

He pointed his trembling fingers at Elder Xun Gang, his voice becoming sharp with anger: "You...you tampered with my formation?!"

"Otherwise, what do you think? I've said it long ago, since I dare to come, I will definitely not be unprepared." Elder Xun Gang waved his arm, "White Lotus Sect followers, charge..."

The White Lotus sect members rushed out, shouting as they rushed: "Put down your weapons and we won't kill you!"

"Put down your weapons and don't kill!"

"Put down your weapons and don't kill!"
