We walked out of the dense forest and crossed the mountain pass.
A vast valley, with no obstacles in sight, only lush green grass.
The wailing and howling of ghosts and the pervasive miasma all disappeared here, as if a new world had been created.
Suddenly, a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz came from a reclining blue stone at the entrance of the valley, "Senior Brother, can we really find someone here?"
The next second, another suppressed and furious voice rang out, "Shut up! If you say another word, I'll sew your mouth shut."
If someone could see through things, they would discover that a hole had been dug out at the bottom of this reclining ox-shaped bluestone.
The cave entrance is concealed by an illusion array and covered by grass and vines, making it extremely well hidden.
Inside the cave, four cultivators, cloaked in concealment cloaks and gripping their magical artifacts tightly, were staring intently at the entrance to the valley outside the cave.
Deeper inside, there was an altar, upon which sat a young man also wearing a concealing cloak, who was none other than the "senior brother" who had spoken earlier.
At this moment, the "eldest brother" was also wondering: Why hasn't anyone come yet?
The setup I set up earlier has already been triggered.
However, after waiting for a long time, they did not see the target they had imagined.
Moreover, the "sniffing bug" didn't make a sound. Could it be that the other party had already sensed something and decisively chose to take a detour?
That shouldn't be happening!
The "Dust-Seeking Powder" was a secret recipe he obtained from an old cultivator; how could it have been discovered?
Most importantly, the ambush location he chose was also carefully considered.
First of all, this valley is a "resource area," and nothing that comes along is worth missing.
Secondly, apart from passing through this valley, all other routes are inconvenient or dangerous, so this is the only way to continue forward.
Finally, when a person emerges from the miasma-filled dense forest and is greeted by this "picturesque" scenery, with the allure of resources, it is difficult not to lower their guard or be drawn to it.
Even if one is to be more vigilant, it should be towards the demonic beasts that live alongside spiritual beings, not before entering the valley.
In this way, whenever someone enters the valley, it becomes their best opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
But the question now is: why is no one coming?
"roar!"
Just as the "eldest brother" was racking his brains trying to figure it out, he suddenly heard a roar as loud as thunder.
A jet-black tiger, accompanied by gusts of eerie wind, hurtled in from afar.
Like a tidal wave, the malevolent spirits and ghosts flew through the air and headed straight for the reclining ox-shaped blue stone.
A middle-aged Taoist priest, straddling the back of a black tiger, waved a long, black banner in his hand, unleashing a deluge of emerald-scaled ghostly flames.
"Riding a black tiger, carrying the Hun Tian Banner, is the Black Tiger Taoist!"
Upon seeing this, the expressions on their faces changed drastically.
The four people holding magical artifacts at the cave entrance did not hesitate to leap up and unleash their artifacts to attack the Black Tiger Taoist.
"Black Tiger Taoist?"
"How did he discover us? Did the 'Dust-Seeking Powder' give itself away?"
The "eldest brother" also rose up with a flick of his sleeves, and quickly performed the ritual steps to activate the altar.
Black Tiger Daoist is Wolf Exterminator, a notorious figure in the Heshan Dao sect. His cultivation of over a hundred acupoints is extraordinary, and his fierce magical artifacts are even more powerful. In addition, he has rich experience in combat, so his junior brothers won't last long.
However, the "eldest brother" was not afraid: in terms of cultivation, he was not much inferior to Black Tiger Daoist, and he also had the blessing of the altar, had made arrangements in advance, occupied the advantage of the terrain, and had several junior brothers to help him, which gave him the initiative.
He has already secured two of the three advantages: favorable timing, advantageous location, and popular support. What can Black Tiger Taoist possibly use to win?
As the saying goes: 800,000 against 600,000, they're ripping me off again!
"call!"
In the blink of an eye, "Senior Brother" performed the ritual steps, and suddenly the valley was filled with wind and clouds.
A fierce wind howled, dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled.
"Thunder magic?" At the entrance of the valley, the Black Tiger Taoist cried out in surprise, and layers of light shields appeared out of thin air.
"Boom!"
The next moment.
As if the sky had collapsed, a powerful and oppressive aura suddenly descended.
In the blink of an eye, a bolt of lightning struck down from the dark clouds.
In just a moment, the Black Tiger Taoist's many protective light shields shattered.
"roar!"
A short, piercing wail suddenly rose and fell, and the ten-foot-long, jet-black tiger was instantly reduced to charred remains.
Black Tiger Taoist was covered in grime. Taking advantage of the moment when his mount, the fierce tiger, died in his place, twenty or thirty skulls rolled out from his sleeves. With eerie cries, he charged toward the reclining ox and the blue stone.
Clusters of emerald-green, ghostly flames bombarded the cave entrance relentlessly, as if they were free.
At the same time, Black Tiger Taoist hurriedly waved the Hun Tian Banner, and streaks of black energy, like whips, intertwined into a net, entangling and swirling towards his "junior brothers".
"Ha, a mere skeleton demon, trying to distract me?"
Seeing this, the "eldest brother" sneered and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen golden beans shot out into the air.
Then, with a roll in the air, it transformed into more than a dozen golden-armored divine generals, who fought against twenty or thirty skeletal demons the size of cartwheels.
A rich aroma of incense immediately filled the space.
"Scattering beans to create soldiers? You are disciples of Ge Zhenjun?"
Black Tiger Taoist's expression changed drastically, and he opened his mouth to let out a strange cry, as if he wanted to say something.
Suddenly, he raised his hand, and a Taiyin Blood God Mirror, which looked like condensed blood, flew out of his hand.
It transformed into a streak of blood-red light in mid-air and disappeared into the depths of the dark clouds.
"boom!"
At the same time, the "eldest brother" performed the ritual steps and chanted incantations.
A bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, struck down from the dark clouds.
In just a moment, the spiritual light of more than a dozen magical artifacts rose from the body of the Black Tiger Taoist.
Then it was shattered again, smashed to a crisp, and fell backward in despair.
And that dark cloud, rumbling with thunder, vanished in an instant under the intense crimson light.
"What a magnificent Taiyin Blood God Mirror! No wonder it belongs to the Black Tiger Taoist."
Seeing this scene.
The "eldest brother" looked smug and stepped out from the altar. "Fortunately, I had already set up the altar and buried ninety-nine lightning-attracting talismans, otherwise it would have been hard to say who would win or lose."
Just as I was thinking this, a sharp whistling sound suddenly pierced the air.
The "eldest brother's" expression changed drastically, and he had no time to react.
A sharp, chilling sword light leaped out from the back of his head.
With a swift strike, the sword pierced through the top of his head, pinning him to the spot.
Then a cold light enveloped his body, instantly turning him into a pool of blood.
"Indeed, if it weren't for using one tiger to devour another, it would have been quite a task for me to take you down."
Bai Cang's figure materialized out of thin air, and with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands towards the pool of blood and said, "Fellow Daoist, go in peace. I will take your possessions!"
Before he finished speaking, Bai Cang's expression suddenly changed drastically. He quickly swayed his body, merging with the five elements, and in an instant, he appeared hundreds of feet away.
