Above Tianshui City, four figures stood atop the clouds, with Xu Yan looking solemnly at the three opposite him.
In a one-on-one situation, he fears neither of them.
He was not afraid even when facing two opponents.
He had no confidence against three opponents.
Moreover, Lord Yan had instructed that no conflict should occur before his arrival.
"A month ago, four outer disciples of the Hehuan Sect died at the hands of Su Muzhe of the Jianmen Sect."
The Martial Arts Alliance sent Kou Huai'an, claiming he could capture him, and we believed him.
As it turned out, Kou Huai'an and Su Muzhe teamed up to put on a show, fooling us like idiots.
That wasn't all; Zi Fu of Tianshui Palace actually went down the mountain himself and killed Ning Chen and his son from the Hehuan Sect, as well as Wu Jiugong from the Qianhuan Sect.
Xu Yan, what else do you have to say?
Wei Wuming, the leader of the Sky-Gazing Sect, looked at Xu Yan with a grim expression.
According to the original plan, Ning Chen did not need to show his face at all.
Wu Jiugong alone can control the situation.
He doesn't need to show himself; he can simply remain hidden in the shadows.
The plan was about to succeed, and Xu Yan was under his watchful eye, but an accident happened at the last moment.
Ning Chen and Wu Jiugong were killed one after another without making a sound.
Although these two are not top-tier experts among Earth Immortals, they are still considered above average.
To kill two people silently, at least two people at the eighth level of the Purple Mansion realm would need to act simultaneously, or one person at the ninth level of the Purple Mansion realm would need to act.
But there are very few martial artists at this level.
Everyone was being watched by the sect.
They received the news long ago, even at the slightest sign of trouble.
In fact, they were also keeping a close eye on that ninth-level Purple Mansion martial artist from Tianshui Palace.
As a result, no one made any unusual moves, but Ning Chen and Wu Jiugong were the ones who died.
This means... there are still powerful figures secretly within the Martial Arts Alliance.
It is highly likely that Yan Mingshu secretly trained him.
The Joyful Union Sect and the Thousand Illusions Sect will not simply accept this loss.
It was precisely because of this that Duan Chongyang, the young master of Shenji Tower, and Shi Sansheng, the Ghost King of the Corpse Demon Sect, came to their aid.
The former is at the eighth level of the Earthly Immortal realm, while the latter is at the ninth level.
The arrival of the two men allowed Wei Wuming to get his revenge first.
As for the remaining venues, those Celestial Immortal experts will have to come and find them themselves.
His appearance was not to kill Xu Yan.
Instead, they intended to keep Xu Yan pinned down here, leaving the rest to the Seven Kings of Tianshui Lake.
As luck would have it, Yang Buhui left Tianshui Palace by herself today.
An ambush was thus created.
Yang Buhui was surrounded and was doomed to die.
If those seven Earth Immortal Beasts were bold enough, they could even use Yang Buhui as bait to ambush and kill that martial artist from the Ninth Heaven of the Purple Mansion of the Heavenly Water Palace.
As long as that warrior at the ninth level of the Purple Mansion Realm is killed, the Heavenly Water Palace will cease to exist.
In this way, the Martial Arts Alliance would have no reason to retaliate.
After all, the people were killed by the Seven Kings of Tianshui Lake, so what does it have to do with these immortal sects?
"How dare you even mention this?"
What are Ning Chen and Wu Jiugong doing in Tianshui City? Don't tell me you don't know.
I still have some photo-taking stones, don't I?
If it weren't for the intervention of a mysterious powerful figure at the last moment, you would have actually succeeded.
Whoever orchestrated this, the Martial Arts Alliance, Tianshui Palace, Sword Sect, and the four major families must be given an explanation!
Having followed Yan Mingshu for so many years, Xu Yan has also learned how to argue and bicker.
He knew very well that the final outcome of this matter was not up to him, nor could it be up to the three guys on the other side.
This guy has actually gotten smarter.
But this is good too; with everyone arguing, Tianshui Palace will be destroyed.
As Wei Wuming thought this to himself, his expression gradually darkened. "Xu Yan, don't give me this nonsense. We have recording stones too..."
"Senior Xu, do you need any help?"
Before Wei Wuming could finish speaking, Yang Buhui's voice came through.
Soon, she was standing behind Xu Yan.
"Palace Master Yang, you've come at the right time. These three are Wei Wuming, the head of the Sky-Gazing Sect; Duan Chongyang, the young master of the Divine Mechanism Pavilion; and Shi Sansheng, the Ghost King of the Corpse Ghost Sect. They've come here to seek justice for Ning Chen and Wu Jiugong."
Two of the victims were disciples of the Tianshui Palace, just three days ago. Do you have anything to add?
Xu Yan's words were nothing more than a dodge and weave.
If you don't make definitive statements, you won't escalate the conflict.
Today's battle will not take place.
As long as we can stall until Lord Yan arrives, we can leave the rest to him.
Xu Yan wanted to settle things temporarily, but Yang Buhui didn't think so.
The Tianshui Palace has always had few disciples, and she only started accepting apprentices in recent years.
She raised each and every one of her apprentices as if they were her own daughters.
When his three disciples went out, one was bewitched, and the other two almost had their innocence ruined.
How can this debt be settled so easily?
In the past few days, besides secretly investigating the senior who made the move at the Tenfold Tower, she has also focused her energy on finding the immortal sect members who secretly orchestrated this scheme.
Now that enemies have met, it's natural that they're extremely hostile.
How could I possibly continue to feign compliance with them?
"You three shameless old bastards, it seems you're among those who plotted to harm my two apprentices."
Senior Xu, let's join forces and leave these three old bastards here.
Whether they kill or maim, it will all be blamed on my Tianshui Palace!
Yang Buhui's cold eyes flashed with anger, and the long sword in her hand was already drawn.
? ? ?
Xu Yan was filled with questions.
Just now...didn't she ask me if I needed any help?
I do need it, and I've made it very clear.
Yang Buhui could get away with it today if she just made a small conversation.
How did things turn out like this... that they started fighting over nothing?
Xu Yan felt like his brain wasn't working properly!
Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll just take action!
Without much hesitation, Xu Yan decided to take action.
A magnificent golden Buddha descended, tearing through the clouds.
Three heads and six arms, the Immovable King.
Dragons and elephants intertwine, coiling around the body.
The Vajra Sect warriors are unparalleled in the Zhou Tian Realm in both their fighting stance and aura.
"Palace Master Yang, please step back, let me go first!"
As a senior, one should naturally act like one.
Xu Yan, like a wrathful king, charged towards Wei Wuming and his two companions with overwhelming pressure.
With its six arms outstretched, it unleashed beams of golden light.
"Sect Leader Wei, what's going on?"
How did Yang Buhui end up here? And what about the seven demonic beasts from Tianshui Lake?
Corpse Demon Sect Ghost King Shi Sansheng frowned.
"I don't know!"
Wei Wuming shook his head.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense."
Since we can't rely on those opportunists, we'll have to do it ourselves.
"Three against two, the advantage is ours!"
The first to make a move was none other than Duan Chongyang of the Divine Machine Tower.
His body was filled with magical power, and countless metallic rays shot out from his sleeves.
Those metallic streams of light were components that didn't quite resemble magical artifacts, and the components converged towards his body.
The mortise and tenon joints and the snap-locking mechanism illuminate the various patterns on the surface.
Soon, a colossal divine soldier appeared.
Duan Chongyang, on the other hand, transformed into the core of the Divine Machine Heavenly Soldiers.
