"Heh, this person has quite a plan. In the past, considering that he is a powerful force of the Great Yue, we never considered advancing into the Purple Mountain Herb Garden. But we never expected that this scoundrel would be so ungrateful, launching a surprise attack on our Lingyan border, catching us completely off guard, and causing us to lose many resource-rich areas in succession!"
"Hmph, now that things are going badly, you want to sue for peace? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
"However, senior brother, this young man may not be seeking peace. He is cunning and treacherous, and may be harboring evil intentions, plotting to deceive the heavens!"
"Yes, we must be on guard. The Cloud Soaring Sect's current power is largely due to this boy's cunning."
"…………"
Wu Xingteng initially thought that the person might be seeking peace, and he began to feel an uncontrollable excitement. However, after hearing the subsequent discussions of the crowd, he realized that it made sense. How could someone as cunning as that person, who had been launching a fierce attack earlier, suddenly seek peace?
His vigilance immediately returned, and he said:
"Heh, no matter what, our defenses here are almost complete. Even if war breaks out, it's not something we can just break through at will."
"Let me go and meet him, and see what tricks this boy has up his sleeve."
After making specific deployment arrangements and even arranging the evacuation, Wu Xingteng led a group of Purple Mansion cultivators slowly to the array barrier.
...
now.
At the location of the array barrier.
The demonic cultivators were already on high alert, their array patterns constantly flashing, gathering a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to form a solid barrier.
They all looked solemnly at the people outside the formation.
Before the heavily fortified formation, there was only one person!
But even so, this one person alone possessed the power of a vast army.
This put the demonic defense stronghold here on high alert!
What is the magnificent and awe-inspiring spirit of "one man guarding the pass, ten thousand cannot break through"?
The figure in black robes outside the formation at this moment is the best illustration of this.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering slightly in the wind. Behind him stretched a vast mountain range, and before him stood an impenetrable wall of bronze and iron constructed by countless demonic cultivators. Yet, it was precisely this slender figure that made all the demonic cultivators within the great formation tense up.
His expression gradually became serious!
Wu Xingteng narrowed his eyes. Although he felt a lot of resentment and hatred towards this person, he had to admit that this young man was indeed a rare cultivator in the world and should be considered a prodigy of this era.
He dared to appear before the great formation alone; no wonder he was able to reverse the tide of battle and turn defeat into victory multiple times, gradually building up to his current status!
He suppressed his doubts and led several high-ranking members and cultivators at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm out of the formation.
Despite his deep-seated fear, he realized that since the other side had come to the front lines alone, it would be too ridiculous for him to remain holed up in his own formation.
Not to mention, he is a cultivator at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, whose cultivation level is even higher!
The light slowly flew out, but it was not necessarily far from the great formation before it disappeared.
Several figures then came into view.
It stands in stark contrast to it from afar.
Lin Xiuyuan stood with his hands behind his back, suspended in mid-air, his body exuding a gentle spiritual aura. He faced the demonic stronghold alone, seemingly unafraid that the other side would charge out to attack.
Looking calmly at the group of people in the distance, he smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Wu, I wanted to see you a few days ago, but you left rather quickly, so I regret that I was unable to meet you. Therefore, I have made a special trip here today."
Wu Xingteng narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Enough with the nonsense. Why waste your breath? What's the point of talking to you? You're such a cunning scoundrel. I bet there's the Cloud Sky Army lying in ambush all around. Are you plotting something again?"
Lin Xiuyuan spoke up:
"Fellow Daoist, you have truly misunderstood me. I have come today with something to discuss with you!"
"Whether or not troops are stationed here, do you not know, fellow Daoist? Within a radius of dozens of miles, there are spies under your command. How could you possibly hide this from me?"
Wu Xingteng remained silent for a moment.
really.
As the location of a stronghold's defensive line, how could it not be surrounded by spies?
If a large army were to arrive, it would be impossible for them to remain completely silent and deceive everyone.
Unless they are extremely well hidden, such as dividing into small groups to quietly infiltrate and scatter in various places, hiding themselves away, and then regrouping into an army when the time comes to attack!
But what's the point...?
This is not a defensive battle, but a battle of attrition!
They had already laid out a complete defense, so even if they were to launch a surprise attack, there would be no advantage or disadvantage; they could simply use their array formations to block it.
Could it be that they really have come to sue for peace?
Wu Xingteng understood, and couldn't help but feel a little smug. He immediately let out a cold laugh.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, seeing you come alone this time, I initially thought you were taking advantage of our demonic path's lack of manpower. Now it seems, could it be that you see the tide has turned and are therefore seeking peace?!"
"Too late, far too late!"
"Heh heh, back then when our Demonic Sect was weak, they launched surprise attacks on our borders, ravaged various places, and repeatedly slaughtered our Demonic Sect disciples and occupied our Demonic Lands!!"
"Today, the chief of the demonic path has personally led a large army here. How can we allow you, a clown, to continue your antics?"
"Once the main army arrives, we will march west and completely annihilate the Yunxiao Sect of Fengxia Mountain. At that time, we might just kill you on the spot!"
"If you surrender now and submit, you will still have a chance to live. Otherwise, you can only take advantage of this opportunity to escape."
Wu Xingteng sneered and looked at Lin Xiuyuan from afar, his face full of smug satisfaction.
Times have changed, and there's a sense of triumph and triumph.
