When the Hermit of Gushan received the news about Xi Yunting, all the setbacks he had suffered before were immediately forgotten.
He personally took action and formed a fan-shaped formation with the out-of-body cultivators from the Elder Council and Zhishi Hall, preparing to wipe out the main vines area by area.
He just didn't believe that he couldn't force Wu Xuzi out this time!
In fact, Wu Xuzi would become restless even without him clearing an area.
Wu Xuzi controlled those modified humans through spells and magic arrays, and he could clearly feel the destruction of every cornerstone.
At the beginning, when only two or three main vines were destroyed, he could still think that these guys had done it by accident, but when large areas of cornerstones were destroyed later, he could no longer deceive himself.
Wu Xuzi's research has reached a critical moment, so he naturally cannot give up on the Youyan Cliff, especially now that he has the treasure Tang Ru in his hands. The possibility of his success is very high, so he is even more unwilling to give up.
He couldn't abandon everything and run away, nor could he allow the other party to further destroy the cornerstone, so he had no choice but to show up.
"Stop!" After Wu Xuzi appeared, he stopped Gushan and others in a tough manner.
The Lonely Mountain Master folded his hands, hatred and anger surging in his heart, but he did not show it. He sneered and said, "After hiding for so long, you finally show up."
Wu Xuzi looked to be in his fifties, with a long face, thin eyebrows and eyes, and looked fair and handsome.
Just from his appearance and demeanor, you can't tell that he is a person who is extremely cruel and insane.
Wu Xuzi seemed to have misunderstood something from the attitude of the Lonely Mountain Master. His gloomy eyes faded a little, and he said to the Lonely Mountain Master: "I know your identity. You are also a well-known figure in Amur, so I will respect you as the Lonely Mountain Master. But don't go too far! As far as I know, none of these people I recruited are your disciples, and this matter was originally not yours. If you are willing to stop interfering now, I can let it go."
Elder Pi said angrily, "You still dare to confuse right and wrong! The survivors rescued from the dungeon of the stone fortress accused you of deceiving them and subjecting them to evil magic trials! Such a horrible behavior cannot be tolerated by the Taoist heroes of Yanxia Cliff! You can't continue to destroy the practitioners of Amur!"
Wu Xuzi sneered, "I'll say it again. When I summoned these practitioners, I explained the interests involved to them in advance. They voluntarily followed me. How can you say they were deceived or cheated? Don't make trouble!"
Chen Xiao watched from the side and saw that Wu Xuzi had no guilt at all and obviously believed that he was right.
He had seen this type of criminal before on TV news reports.
For the type of person who doesn't think his behavior is wrong at all and only thinks he is the truth, no matter how much you argue with him, you will not be able to convince him.
Wu Xuzi still felt that he was quite magnanimous. He waved his hand and said, "As long as you are willing to retreat, I will not interfere with you from now on."
Elder Pi was so angry that he almost laughed. The Lonely Mountain Master said at this time: "If you want us to settle our grievances and never offend each other again, that's fine. As long as you are willing to hand over the principal offender and commit suicide in front of the graves of my disciples who died in her hands, I can let this matter go."
Wu Xuzi then learned that the disciple of the Lonely Mountain Master had died in the previous fight, and said with regret: "It's all your fault for meddling in this matter. When I was looking for people, I avoided the children of the famous families in the cliff and only looked for those who were irrelevant. If you hadn't gotten involved in this mess, you wouldn't have lost the lives of several young people. The only fault in this matter is that they died too young!"
The Lonely Mountain Master felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, and he regretted it more than once. It was not that he regretted bringing his disciples here, but that he regretted being too arrogant and underestimating the danger of this trip.
The Lonely Mountain Master's eyes became stern: "Stop talking nonsense! This man...are you going to hand him over or not?"
Wu Xuzi was furious, but no matter how reluctant he was, he had to endure it.
He gritted his teeth in his heart, thinking that after he passed this level, when his martial arts skills were fully developed, he would settle all the accounts one by one!
Wu Xuzi, holding back his anger, raised his hand and pointed at a few people to step out.
These were the ones who took the lead in the ambush the day before. Just handing over these few would be enough to make Wu Xuzi feel as painful as if his flesh was being cut.
He comforted himself, thinking that as long as the mountains are green, there will be no shortage of firewood, so he should send these plague people away first!
The movements and expressions of these people were no different from those of ordinary people, except that their eyes were numb and indifferent. With one order from Wu Xuzi, they would jump directly into a fire pit even if it was in front of them.
Several people jumped on the vines and came to the Lonely Mountain Master. The Lonely Mountain Master was not polite at all, he raised his hand and slapped them one by one, killing several people in front of him.
It happened that some of the people had relatives or friends in the battle line, and before they had time to plead for mercy, they had to watch people die.
He suddenly let out a cry and started crying.
The Lonely Mountain Master glanced back and said to a foundation-building disciple of Zhishitang next to him, "Collect the bodies of the victims, collect their names, and bury them properly when you return, so that they can comfort their families."
The disciples of Zhishitang arranged people to collect the bodies, and asked the crying man to go forward and take the body away personally. While crying, the man thanked Master Gushan.
Chen Xiao couldn't bear to watch this, and Xi Yunting beside him put his hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the law of the jungle prevails. Those who are not strong enough don't even have the chance to beg for mercy.
And they themselves had to find ways to rescue Tang Ru from the murderous man on Lonely Mountain.
Wu Xuzi saw that the man on Gushan first killed the people he assigned, and then slowly ordered people to collect the bodies. He had no intention of retreating at all, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
He said with a cold aura, "I have given you the person you want. It's time to do what you promised me, right? Or... do you want to go back on your word?"
Wu Xuzi became angry and glared at the man on Lonely Mountain.
The Lonely Mountain Master sneered and said, "Since I promised you, I will not regret it." Without waiting for Wu Xuzi to react, he continued, "But the people you handed over to me are accomplices, not the principal offender. Everyone present has eyes, and they saw clearly that day that the dwarf female cultivator was the main culprit who hurt people!"
Wu Xuzi was so angry that he laughed: "Haha, you are such a treacherous person on Lonely Mountain! You are such a group of righteous people who don't keep their promises. You are so shameless to attack me in the name of others! I don't think you have any intention of settling the matter peacefully. You are just trying to deceive me and make a few heads, right? Well, well, I trusted you and suffered this loss!"
Elder Pi snorted, took a deep breath and said loudly: "Wu Xuzi! Stop slandering me. The man on Lonely Mountain is trustworthy and is our representative. As long as you do what he promised you, I, Yanxiaya, promise that I will never ask about the affairs of Youyan Cliff again!"
He knew that compromising with Wu Xuzi and withdrawing from the Youyue Cliff would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the relatives and friends of the missing persons such as Saliam, but the man on Lonely Mountain had already said it, and Elder Pi was not in a position to refute him at this time.
This was also a helpless move. The strength of the Elder Council was too weak, so they had to rely on a few famous people from Yanxia Cliff, such as the Master of Lonely Mountain.
Otherwise, they would have been blocked by Tenglin long ago and had to retreat to Yanxia Cliff in disgrace, declaring the operation a failure.
The Master of Lonely Mountain lost all his disciples. The loss is so great that Elder Pi is afraid that the people of Lonely Mountain will vent their anger on the Council of Elders. In this matter, he can only choose to stand on the side of the Master of Lonely Mountain. I'm sorry to Sariam.
Sariam, who was at the back of the crowd, heard it clearly and was filled with indignation. She naturally could not accept the situation to just stop like that and let it go.
Tong Nuonuo, who was standing next to her, saw that she was very excited, so she pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Amu, please be patient."
He had read Wu Xuzi's casual notes. Tang Ru was the core of the formation. He would never give up on her, no matter who he was!
Therefore, it was simply impossible for the Monk on Solitary Mountain to bring Tang Ru over and kill him to vent his anger.
As expected, Wu Xuzi's expression suddenly changed, and he said gloomily: "Gushan! Don't push your luck! I've already given you an explanation by handing over those people. I wanted to make peace with you, but you took advantage of me. This is not the right attitude!"
The expression of the Lonely Mountain Master was even more gloomy than Wu Xuzi's. He said, "Do you think I can't see that it was just a sacrifice to save the king?" He raised his chin proudly and said word by word, "Whoever kills my disciple must pay with his life!"
Wu Xuzi was furious and said, "You forced me to do this! Today, I will fight you to the death!"
The Lonely Mountain Master shouted coldly: "That's exactly what I meant!"
The movements of the cultivator in the out-of-body stage were too fast. In addition, the environment in the vine forest was dark. Before Chen Xiao could see clearly, the man from Lonely Mountain approached Wu Xuzi and then quickly retreated back to his original position.
Chen Xiao looked confused and bewildered. What just happened?
Xi Yunting quickly whispered in his ear, "Just now, Master Gushan had a close combat with Wu Xuzi. Wu Xuzi's wind-attributed spiritual roots and skills prevailed, and Master Gushan was defeated."
It's too early to brag, and you'll be slapped in the face too quickly.
Although he had expected that Wu Xuzi, who had a rare spiritual talent and had cultivated to the out-of-body stage, would be quite powerful, he was defeated in one round, which still made the Master of Lonely Mountain lose face.
The Lonely Mountain Master was so angry that he waved his hand and called on his teammates to attack together: "Everyone, come together! Eliminate this scum who deserves to be killed by everyone!"
"You are not good at martial arts, so you can only show off your skills with your mouth." Wu Xuzi sneered and said coldly: "Forget it, it is your fate. Let me see you off to your last journey. Humph, you are lucky to see the greatest research of my life before you die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Yunting realized something was wrong and quickly hugged Chen Xiao into his arms. Jing Hui's actions were also very decisive, and she directly carried Tong Nuonuo onto her shoulders.
The closed roof of the vine maze in front of me opened instantly, and countless vines woven into huge chains rushed towards the sky. The huge chains that continued to grow smashed the clouds, as if they were piercing into the sky, dividing the sky into small grids.
Tang Ru, who had been hidden and invisible, appeared. She was floating in the air with a painful expression.
Wu Xuzi grabbed her head with his palm, and through Tang Ru, the center of the formation, Wu Xuzi's true essence continuously poured into the formation, and umbrella-shaped mists spread out at the top of the giant chain.
These umbrellas became bigger and bigger, and gradually they merged into one, forming an extremely huge circle.
The huge chain towering into the sky forms a strange semicircle in the sky. Even if you are standing four or five hundred miles away, you can still clearly see this shocking scene.
Yanxia Cliff, which is more than a hundred miles away from Youyan Cliff, has already been in chaos, and people in the city are at a loss.
They looked out and watched the clouds in the sky change rapidly, and a huge leaden cloud quickly formed. After a moment's brewing, lightning like thunder struck down.
Wu Xuzi unexpectedly got promoted suddenly at this moment, and wanted to use the power of thunder to kill all the people!
