Mingmei subconsciously suspected that the Zerg's earlier surrender was an act, a pretense, a prelude to a sudden outburst that would catch everyone off guard.
Even if Xie Chen isn't a good person in the game, and might even be in league with the Zerg, he's still quite old. With his cultivation level, even if he came over, how could he cause such a commotion?
Therefore, Mingmei immediately ruled out Xie Chen, and besides, she remembered that Mu Chen was in control of the body that morning.
"careful!"
Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyao, who had been standing not far from Mingmei, saw the sky brighten in the distance, and a sharp, silvery-white light slashed towards their small courtyard.
Lu Xiaoyao instinctively hugged Mingmei and Meijiu, who were closest to her, and rushed to the side.
Mingmei only felt a flash of white light before her eyes, followed by darkness. At the same time, she heard a cracking sound, and then she was tackled to the ground by Lu Xiaoyao.
Then, a series of loud rumbling sounds came from behind!
The formation was suddenly shattered by a streak of astonishing sword energy. Everything in its path, whether people or objects, was destroyed. When Lu Xiaoyao came to her senses, she was almost scared to death. She was lying on the edge of the ravine, and could fall in if she wasn't careful.
She looked up and saw that the house they used to live in had been split in two, with a large section of it collapsed!
Holy crap!
Those who narrowly escaped were nearly scared to death by what they saw!
They thought their level was terrifying in combat, but who knew that a single sword strike from someone of a higher level would cause such a thing?
When everyone came to their senses, the Fifth Elder, who had been as gentle and refined as a breeze and a bright moon, now had red eyes and a very strange expression. He stood outside their courtyard, holding a long sword that gleamed coldly, staring straight at everyone in the courtyard.
"Don't go over there!"
Mingmei, who had just stood up, suddenly grabbed Mei Jiu and Lu Xiaoyao who were standing next to her, and looked warily at the Fifth Elder not far away. She had already sensed that something was wrong with him.
She turned to look at Shi Qing's clone and saw a trace of blood on the corner of the boy's lips, clearly a backlash from the broken formation.
Behind Shi Qing was a group of younger people he was protecting. Shi Qing, who already had few expressions, became even more serious.
This further confirms that the Fifth Elder is in grave danger at this moment.
"come over."
The Fifth Elder, sword in hand, didn't even glance at Shi Qing, but looked at Ming Mei and said coldly, "It's not safe here, leave with me."
"Have my father and mother arrived yet?" Mingmei, who hadn't moved an inch, asked first about her parents. Mei Jiu, who had already noticed Mingmei's reaction, quietly took off the red ribbon tied to her hair.
They had prepared for the worst, as the Fifth Elder's current condition was far from reassuring.
Not to mention listening to him and going forward.
Perhaps sensing her master's unease, Hongxiao immediately took action. The fiery red silk, which was less than a meter long just now, stretched out infinitely and wrapped around Mei Jiu's bright and beautiful side.
"They are fighting against evil cultivators. You should leave with me first."
He said "you," not "you all," and his gaze remained fixed on Mingmei, as if he didn't care about anyone else. This made Mingmei's heart sink.
"Don't go over there." Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyao, with a sudden burst of courage, grabbed Mingmei's collar.
With the Fifth Elder looking like this, who would dare to answer?
Lu Xiaoyao finally realized that there might be something wrong with the elder.
His tone, his words, his expression—the people around him also began to look grim.
Their fifth elder went out for a while, and when he came back, it seems he has become the enemy. What should they do?
The Fifth Elder, who is halfway to the Nascent Soul stage, is not someone that a bunch of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment noobs like them can defeat.
The disciples of Jingyun Mountain simultaneously brandished their weapons, despite the fact that their opponents were far beyond their capabilities.
"Jin Wu..."
"Shut up!"
As soon as Shi Qing stepped forward and called out the Fifth Elder's name, he was met with a long sword pointed at him.
For some reason, the Fifth Elder seemed to have a headache at the moment. He supported his forehead with his remaining hand and looked at Shi Qing through his fingers. What he said was quite unexpected: "Don't think I don't know about your problem... It's not your place to deal with the people of Jingyun Mountain."
Bright and beautiful: ? ? ?
What kind of processing?
"What's the meaning?"
The group, who had originally planned to seek help from Lianhua Temple, were now at a loss.
It seems like there's something wrong with our own elders, but Lianhua Temple doesn't sound like a good place either.
A group of disciples at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages trembled, completely bewildered by the scene before them.
“Your inner demons have taken hold…” Shi Qing sighed, only to receive a light laugh and mockery from the Fifth Elder: “Whose inner demons have taken hold? Who caused my current state? You can’t possibly not know?!”
After saying that, the Fifth Elder, who had just said he would take Mingmei away, suddenly drew his sword and attacked Shi Qing's clone. In order to prevent his disciples behind him from being affected, Shi Qing had no choice but to engage in battle and change the scene.
In an instant, all that remained were a group of weaklings with insufficient cultivation and a pile of ruins.
Where do we go next?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Because there were no defensive formations, the light and sound of the battle in the sky were amplified infinitely, and the occasional strong winds brought by the aftershocks of the battle made it difficult for them to stand firm.
This scene made everyone realize that they could not stay here for long.
Staying means you'll be caught in the crossfire!
"Let's evacuate outside the city lord's mansion..."
Someone offered a suggestion, and since the others didn't have any better ideas, they all agreed and began to retreat.
It's unclear whether the Fifth Elder's words had any effect, but even though the group that evacuated was still a bunch of novices, Mingmei and the others clearly sensed the estrangement between the disciples of Jingyun Mountain and Lianhua Temple during the evacuation.
Although the retreats were in the same direction, they were clearly distinct from one another.
However, even the disciples of Lianhua Temple are now completely baffled.
What exactly are they here to host?
Is she really that hateful?
"Zen Light, you are the abbot's personal disciple, do you know what exactly happened?"
Madison is a man who can't hold back, especially when he sees Lu Xiaoyao's suspicious gaze from afar. When asked what's going on, he's dumbfounded, so he can only ask Zen Guang, who is closest to the host.
"I don't know."
As Zenkwang was speaking, Charlie chimed in, "A monk doesn't lie, Zenkwang, are you sure you don't know that?"
"uncertain."
Charlie: "..."
So what he's saying is that you actually know something, kid?
"What on earth happened?" Madison couldn't help but ask, but then met a pair of light golden, glassy eyes and instantly lost consciousness...
