Chapter 328 Cloud City Trap: Brothers Fighting

He knew that Wang Yu had been in Guiling for many years, had mastered many of the secrets of Dongjijing, and had even cultivated a killing technique, which he had demonstrated to the fullest when he played against Lu Chenzhou.

Zhuo Shouyun attempted to mimic Wang Yu's thinking and set up this relatively reasonable trap, believing that the other party's intelligence should allow him to deduce a great deal of the truth.

He didn't have time to waste on Wang Yu.

Since they couldn't kill him outside, they could only kill him in the Blood Abyss. As for Fu Xiao's opportunity, it was in contrast to the help Wang Yu brought to Zhuo Shouqing.

It's nothing.

It's not like it's his chance to form his Nascent Soul, so there's no need to prioritize it in everything.

Zhuo Shouyun brazenly reached his hand into Dingxiang's clothes and began to rub her vigorously, muttering to himself.

"Judging by the time, Zhuo Shouqing is about to step into the trap I've prepared for him... Brothers fighting? Not between you and me, but between you and those two good-for-nothings!"

now.

He rolled the bell into a ball with one hand and held the shrunken Rakshasa Demon Bell in the other. He wasn't confident he could awaken and refine it, considering the risks he had mentioned to Wang Yu through Ding Ming.

It is real. This is the special characteristic of the Mind Dao Treasure. Its spirituality surpasses that of other magic treasures of the same level, not to mention that it combines the mysteries of the Soul Dao.

He wouldn't be surprised if this treasure had a spirit.

Even if he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, it will be difficult to refine it... He plans to wait until the dispute with Zhuo Shouqing is resolved before seeking help from the Zhuo Clan's ancestor.

At that time.

Even the most famous genius in the Zhuo family, the Qilin Child!

He is confident that he can compete with them.

…………

…………

Outside the Blood Abyss.

Once all the participants had entered, a dispute led by Zhuo Shouqing began!

"Uncle Huang, you are in charge of dealing with Fu Xiao. Join the main force in the frontal assault. Yu Xing and Lao Ming will set up traps in the rear. We must defeat them in one fell swoop."

As the pinnacle of Zhuo Shouqing's forces, Huang Jiu's cultivation reached the Pseudo-Nascent Soul Realm, making him the strongest below the Nascent Soul Realm. His help was on the condition that Zuo Qiuming asked him to.

Yes.

Zhuo Shouqing had no intention of following the rules. If the other party could gather the sons of powerful and wealthy people to put pressure on him, what difference would it make if he used the power of his sworn brother?

Taking advantage of Zhuo Shouyun's absence, Wang Yu killed all the people left behind by the other side. Even though Wang Yu's actions in the Blood Abyss Holy Land were not going smoothly.

He was confident that he could surround and kill the enemy once they came out.

Breaking the rules is a traditional skill of his, and he had already thought of a reason: one time per person... It's fair, and I doubt even Emperor Liezu could say anything about it.

He had already pinpointed the location of the enemy's forces; they were in a city called Cloud City, located outside the gates of the Holy Sect, which Zhuo Shouyun had been managing for nearly a century.

The counter-array strategy and the means to deal with a large number of cultivators have been prepared. The only disadvantage he has always been in terms of high-end combat power.

Upon hearing this, Huang Jiu couldn't help but speak up.

"Prioritizing killing Fu Xiao? Isn't that just dealing with young friend Wang Yu? He's the only one outside; there are two more troublesome figures inside the Blood Abyss..."

Zhuo Shouqing nodded decisively.

"With the primary objective of killing, there's no time to consider Wang Yu's chance at this point; he should be able to obtain the Blood Infant Fruit."

Huang Jiu did not believe him when he said this.

Because of the contract, Wang Yu had to focus most of his energy on how to reduce the number of people in Zhuo Shouyun's team, so he didn't have the energy to try to obtain the Blood Infant Fruit.

This is a lie!

However, Huang Jiu only touched on the topic briefly and did not say much more before going down to arrange manpower, ready to launch a general attack on [Cloud City] at any time.

Shortly after, Zhuo Yuanshen appeared beside Zhuo Shouqing.

He said meaningfully, "Young Master Qing, do you really want to fight to the death? Once the war starts, there will be no turning back."

"I've already crossed the line."

Zhuo Yuanshen was unaware that he had lost the trust of Zhuo Shouqing, who was in need of manpower and did not investigate him as the intelligence chief, choosing to postpone the investigation.

Regardless of the circumstances, eliminating the enemy's wings is the top priority.

“Yuan Shen, you also lead a team to launch a feint attack on Yunshang City from the flank, creating an opportunity for Uncle Huang.”

"--good!"

Right now.

Outside Cloud City, in a secluded forest, hidden by special magical artifacts, countless silent figures, all dressed in black and wearing masks, stood in close proximity.

There were over a hundred people in total, all of them Core Formation cultivators.

However, 70% of them were unorthodox Golden Core cultivators, only at the early stage of Core Formation, and their cultivation would hardly improve in this lifetime. They were the assassins trained by Zhuo Shouqing over the years.

There were also some talented individuals from the grassroots who led their men to surround Cloud City from the rear.

Fu Xiao, who had recently returned from Mount Sumeru, was among them.

The situation is on the verge of erupting!

Blocking the left flank of the team, Yu Xing, with a solemn expression, held a low-grade fourth-tier talisman. This was a life-saving item given to him by his father, and he had only one, fully prepared to use it.

But at that moment, a black dot suddenly flew in from afar.

He reached out to calm the slightly agitated soldiers and recognized the figure's aura.

It's his older sister—Yu Shuying!

Seeing the figure land, Yu Xing asked in confusion.

"Sister, what brings you here?"

Yu Shuying looks younger than Yu Xing, and beneath her slender eyebrows are a pair of eyes that exude an air of authority.

Her beautiful face was etched with exhaustion.

“Yu Xing, come with me. You must not get involved in this matter.”

"Why?"

Instead of yelling and screaming as her sister had expected, Yu Xing calmly inquired about the reason.

"If the concern is only that the second son will break the rules set by his ancestor, there's no need to be so worried... It was Zhuo Shouyun who broke them first!"

Yu Shuying glanced at the people around her, then lightly stepped forward with her long, beautiful legs. Three array patterns formed a soundproof barrier, surrounding the two of them, before she spoke.

"Do you remember what I told you when you were practicing with me a while ago?"

Yu Xing was taken aback.

"The Holy Blood of the Earth Emperor? A legendary sacred object that can bestow upon humans the spiritual roots of heaven and earth? Didn't you say I wasn't worthy of it..."

"There is already news about this item. It is located in the desolate ancient plains. The message was sent by our fellow Daoists from the Zhuo clan."

Yu Xing immediately understood.

Yu Shuying said those things before simply because she didn't want to give him too much hope. She really didn't want him to recover, and she wouldn't personally urge him to cultivate anymore.

"Zhuo Shouyun's news? Can he believe it?!"

“I’ve verified it, and it’s pretty much true. His condition is that you withdraw all your forces and stop helping Zhuo Shouqing.”

"I……"

He wanted to argue, didn't Zhuo Shouyun want such a heaven-defying, fate-altering sacred object? The truth was... he didn't want it; others were aiming for the Blood Demon Body.

Moreover, the desolate ancient plains are extremely dangerous. Even just a message is a great show of sincerity. To truly obtain it, much more effort will be required.

"I……"

Seeing her younger brother stammering, Yu Shuying sighed and said, "Yu Xing, don't you want immortality? This time, Father will personally take you with him."

"I...I understand."

Yu Xing's face turned bright red. He wanted to inform Zhuo Shouqing, but was stopped by a look from his sister.

They could only use a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

Speaking towards the distance.

"sorry."

As if this could lessen his shame for betraying his brothers, two-thirds of those present followed the two men away as the soundproofing disappeared.

They left behind only a few cats and a few adults, which left them somewhat bewildered.

"Young Master Yu Xing, where are you going?"

Yu Shuying turned around and smiled.

"You guys stay here and we'll go make some arrangements elsewhere and then come back."

"Understood."

This person had a bad feeling, so he took out a communication jade talisman to try to contact Zhuo Shouqing, but found that the communication artifact was not working, as if it was blocked.

This means that the battle has already begun on the main battlefield, a tactic that Zhuo Shouqing had prepared in advance.

His expression immediately turned serious: "Everyone get ready. Xiao Wu, hurry up and go around to the back to report the situation here to Young Master Qing."

"--yes!"

Zuo Qiuming was responsible for blocking the right flank of the enemy force.

He was being forcibly held down by several people. His pitiful mid-stage Foundation Establishment true essence and divine sense were completely unable to leave his body; he was locked up!

"What do you want?! What are you trying to do?!"

"Are you crazy?!"

Meanwhile, Zuoqiu Jiedan, who was in charge of commanding the troops, was excitedly directing Zuoqiu's skilled men to kill all the people sent by Zhuo Shouqing.

Because of their superior numbers, higher cultivation levels, and the element of surprise, they gained a significant advantage in a localized three-on-one situation.

In just a dozen breaths, all of Zhuo Shouqing's men were killed, their blood staining the mountains and forests, but they caused no disturbance whatsoever.

Like slaughtering a chicken or killing a fish, years of hard work vanish in an instant.

This was all the wealth he had accumulated over the years by hanging out with Zhuo Shouqing at Qingji Tower every day. How could Zuo Qiuming not be furious upon seeing this?

His forehead was covered with bulging veins, and he was shouting hoarsely.

"Zuoqiu Yang, what the hell are you doing?!"

"I'm going to kill you! — Ah!!!"

Zuoqiu Yang wiped the blood off the blade and said confidently, "Young Master Ming, I am following the master's orders to help you make the right choice."

"My father?"

Zuo Qiuming had assumed this man had betrayed him and was acting on Zhuo Shouyun's orders, never expecting it to be his father's.

Since the Blood Spring Evil Method failed to reshape his spiritual roots, he has never seen his father again; only his mother visits him frequently.

"Explain yourself clearly what you mean!"

"Young Master Yun has found a way to help you make up for the defects in your spiritual root, but at most it can only restore you to the level of a high-grade spiritual root, that is, the level of dual spiritual roots."

"Half a month ago, Young Master Yun approached the master, and the master agreed on your behalf."

"This method comes at a great cost, and you are the master's only son... Go back first, the master will explain this to you."

Zuoqiu Ming's anger rose from his heart.

"I won't go! Zuoqiu Yang, I'm giving you one last chance, let me go! Otherwise... I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

Zuo Qiuyang shrugged indifferently.

“I knew the young master wouldn’t leave. A person as sentimental as you is rare, even in Taihu. If you want to kill the sheep, do it after you recover.”

Despite his words, he is now obeying his father's orders.

How could he possibly die?

Having said that, he said no more, gestured to the others, and prepared to forcibly take the person back to the Xianyin tribe's territory.

"Zuoqiu Yang! Zuoqiu Yang!"

A little noise, but it didn't cause any problems...

This, too, is true affection!
