After a long journey, everyone finally arrived at the Donghuang Temple again.

At this time, the square of the shrine was deserted. Apart from Qilin lying lazily in the corner, there were no other monks from the five paths.

It was in stark contrast to the lively scene when we arrived.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Wei Dongliu came to Qilin alone, took out the golden sword and the box containing Jiahe, and opened them.

Qilin lazily opened its mouth, sucked in the golden sword and Jiahe into its stomach with its nose, and showed a satisfied look.

"Excuse me, senior, why is there no one in this square?" Wei Dongliu took the opportunity to speak.

"Almost dead." Qilin replied lazily.

"Dead?" Wei Dongliu asked in astonishment.

Didn't they say that the five disciples would jointly ambush Shushan? They were able to defeat them badly... Wait, Senior Sister and Ling Yunpo were also in there, so it's okay.

Hey, that's not right! This trip to the Hundred Thousand Mountains involved Jindan and even Yuanying cultivators!

No matter how strong Senior Sister and Ling Yunpo are, they cannot defeat so many high-level cultivators from the Five Paths of the Demon Cult. Otherwise, what is the meaning of the Five Paths' existence? They will be directly wiped out by the Three Purities of the Orthodox Cult.

"Humph." Qilin sneered, "Using low-level disciples as bait, these Jiejiao descendants are going backwards as they grow older."

"Before you set off, the fox hinted at you and reminded you like this. Didn't you understand? If you don't accept my commission and insist on heading north, you will die just like them."

After saying this, it closed its eyes, rested its chin on the center of its forelimbs, and remained silent.

After just a few words, Wei Dongliu's heart skipped a beat:

What, there is a conspiracy this time?

He hurried back to Donghuang Temple and saw Wen Yang and others who had received the news from their fellow disciples gathered outside his room near the guest room where he stayed last time.

“Daoyou Wei!” Seeing that he had finally returned, Witch Jiang hurried over and said hastily, “This trip to the Shiwan Mountains is a trap!”

"Using low-level disciples as bait?" Wei Dongliu said slowly.

"You know?" Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this.

The synchronization value began to skyrocket.

"What a trick!" Gu Lie was the first to break the silence, and couldn't help but sigh, "First, they pretended that the Five Sects united to ambush Shushan in the Shiwan Mountains, and tricked Shushan into asking Kunlun and Penglai for help."

"Then we organized all the high-level cultivators and pretended to send them to the Eastern Emperor Realm Gate. In fact, we took a detour through the South China Sea and the East China Sea to attack the Penglai Yuqing Temple! This time, our Five Daos have completely revived their reputation!"

Wei Dongliu: ...

So he is a master of military strategy, right?

He had understood by now: the area north of the Donghuang Palace was originally estimated to be the main battlefield between the Five Paths of the Demon Cult and Shushan, and the Five Paths had an absolute advantage in both low-level and high-level cultivators.

Since Shushan knew about this in advance, it would definitely not sit idly by and wait for death.

Long before the southern expedition to the Ten Thousand Mountains, when Ling Yun broke through the line, Senior Brother Lin Duanshan had mentioned that Shushan was still hesitating whether to ask for help from the other two sects.

Now it seems that he has finally made up his mind to ask for help, but unexpectedly he fell into this side's trap.

The Five Paths left their low-level disciples behind as bait to die, but drew away all their elite high-level cultivators. In the name of conquering the Eastern Emperor Realm Gate in the south, they secretly went to the South China Sea and the East China Sea to attack the Yuqing Temple of Penglai.

"How's the performance over there?" Wei Dongliu asked slowly.

"The five sects united, and even the Sword Barbarian of Mount Shu was no match for them. How could those nerds of Yuqing Temple defeat them?" Witch Jiang sneered, "Even the protective formation of the sect was broken. The high-level cultivators fled with the low-level disciples, and suffered heavy casualties."

"If Kunlun hadn't come to our aid so quickly, the Yuqing Temple lineage would have been exterminated from now on."

"Even so." Wen Yang added, "It is said that this expedition team also looted countless magical instruments, flying swords, and spiritual medicines from Penglai. It can be said that they made a lot of money."

At this point, everyone's expressions were somewhat depressed and unwilling.

He was depressed because he felt that he was not strong enough to join the expedition team that besieged Penglai and make a fortune.

They were unwilling to do so, because some of their fellow disciples, due to nepotism such as connections with their teachers, were also privately called to join the expedition team, and received all kinds of benefits.

On the other hand, although they are also elite disciples in the sect, they do not have a strong enough backing background, so they were thrown to the Shiwan Mountains as bait.

If Wei Dongliu had not been favored by Lord Qilin and cleverly avoided death, he would have really lost his life on the battlefield in the north.

Wei Dongliu was speechless for a moment, only to hear Kunlun Mirror suddenly say:

"Guanshui, don't ask any more questions."

"What's wrong?" Wei Dongliu asked with a frown. He also wanted to know what was going on with Tiangong Workshop in Yuqing Temple.

"Everything you hear will become a historical fact," Kunlun Mirror warned. "To ensure there is room for change in the future, you should stop here."

"Hmm." Wei Dongliu also understood immediately. As for Schrödinger's cat, it collapses when observed. It is better to keep it mysterious.

"Speaking of this." Jiang Li'an suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist Wei, do you still remember my senior sister Ai Zhenzhi?"

"I heard that she was selected to join the expedition team before she left, and it seems that she got a powerful magic weapon this time."

"Does Fellow Daoist Wei have a grudge against Ai Zhenzhi?" Wen Yang also said in surprise, "I heard that this person has an extremely violent temper and holds grudges very hard. If he really got some powerful magic weapon this time, Fellow Daoist should be careful next time."

"Alas." Jiang Li'an also sighed.

Originally thought that the eldest sister would ambush everyone in the Ten Thousand Mountains this time, she could just join forces with Wei Laozei and others to fight back...but unexpectedly such a change happened!

Everyone followed Qilin's guidance and changed their route to the south, while the eldest sister temporarily joined the expedition team. The two sides cleverly staggered each other and each gained great benefits.

Senior Sister Ai obtained a powerful magic weapon from Yuqing Temple. Although it is definitely not as good as her seventy years of Purple Mansion cultivation, her combat power is likely to improve by leaps and bounds.

Given her personality, she will definitely take the opportunity to seek revenge after she comes back. I don't know if she can defeat the old thief Wei.

If that old thief Wei is no match for her, then I'm dead!

Otherwise, why not run away early?

For some reason, when thinking of "Old Thief Wei", Witch Jiang suddenly thought of "Demon Lord Wei".

With Lord Wei's unfathomable strength, it seems impossible for him to be defeated by the eldest senior sister... Just imagining this possibility seems outrageous.

Well, no, I have to take this opportunity to bring more people back.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said to everyone:

"The trip to the Shiwan Mountains has ended. Would you like to go to Shiping Mountain for a gathering?"

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Wei's sect is located near the Biyan Palace?" Wen Yang was also somewhat interested. "I would like to visit Fellow Daoist's sect, but I wonder if it is convenient?"

"Of course it's fine." Wei Dongliu said lightly.

Looking at Gu Lie and Long Xiaoqi, they also had no objection - everyone had already made up their minds to curry favor with Wei Mojun, so of course they would have to get to know him more in the future.

Seeing that things were going so smoothly, Jiang Li'an secretly felt relieved.

Very good! With the help of Wei Mojun and the other three, even if we face a Jindan cultivator, we may not be powerless.

I don't believe that Senior Sister can kill me!
