After reading the method for breaking the formation on the jade slip, Master Yiyuan felt relieved: "This method of breaking the formation is not a problem."
After Zhang Lan looked at it, she also felt there was no problem.
Qin Xiong said there was no problem after reading it.
Fellow Daoist Hu knew nothing about these restriction formations and such. Although he was cautious, seeing that everyone said there was no problem, he said to A Yao, "It's good that Fellow Daoist Lu is cautious. Now that everyone has checked and said there's no problem, Fellow Daoist Lu should hurry up and enter the formation."
He was very eager to get the treasure behind the door.
Ayao sneered: "No problem. If we break the formation according to Fellow Daoist Ye's method, apart from Fellow Daoist Ye and Fellow Daoist Qin, the rest of us will become sacrifices to this formation. This is probably what Fellow Daoist Ye and Fellow Daoist Qin want."
What?
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
The warm smile on Qin Xiong's face vanished, and Ye Tian looked at A Yao, his expression turning extremely cold. Ye Tian said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, what is the meaning of this? Why are you deliberately slandering me and Brother Qin?"
Ayao said coldly, "Stop pretending."
Ayao then looked at the others: "They want us to be sacrifices. If you don't believe me, so be it. Anyway, I'm not going to enter the formation."
Ayao made a move to leave.
Ye Tian and Qin Xiong exchanged a glance. How could they let A Yao leave like this? They had gathered all four sacrifices; now it was time to turn their backs. Suddenly, Qin Xiong cast a spell towards the ground, and a beam of red light shot out. The array engraved on the ground lit up, and at the same time, all the runes already carved on the walls and pillars lit up, shooting out beams of multicolored light, sealing off the entire space.
Now, Fellow Daoist Hu, True Man Yiyuan, and Zhang Lan all realized that something was wrong.
They all looked at Ye Tian and Qin Xiong. Ye Tian said coldly, "You've come, and you think you can leave? Not so easy. Now that you've been discovered, there's no chance of letting you escape."
Master Yiyuan looked at the runes around him, his expression changed drastically, and he said angrily, "So, you really want to use us as sacrifices?"
Zhang Lan looked at Ye Tian in disbelief. She and Ye Tian had known each other for over two thousand years, and their relationship was far from ordinary. She looked at Ye Tian and asked, "Ye Tian, what do you mean? Is what Sister Lu said true? You want to use us as sacrifices? You actually want to kill me and use me as a sacrifice?"
Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
Ye Tian didn't answer Zhang Lan's question. Undoubtedly, he still had some feelings for her, but compared to those feelings, he wanted what lay beyond the door even more. The moment he made that decision, he had already abandoned Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan's heart shattered when she saw that he didn't even offer an explanation. How could he really be so heartless!
Zhang Lan was both angry and resentful. She had been so blind to have trusted such a heartless man. She immediately stepped down from the lotus platform and rushed to A Yao's side.
As Fellow Daoist Hu and True Person Yiyuan were about to leave, Ye Tian and Qin Xiong's eyes turned cold. One struck Fellow Daoist Hu with a palm strike, while the other thrust his sword at True Person Yiyuan. Only when Ye Tian made his move did everyone realize that he wasn't a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. It turned out he had been concealing his true cultivation level all along; he was actually a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. No wonder he conspired with Qin Xiong, who was also a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
It was precisely because both of them were at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm that he chose to cooperate with Qin Xiong. If he were only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, how could he dare to join forces with Qin Xiong?
Hu Daoyou's face showed horror. He exchanged a palm strike with Ye Tian and was sent flying backward, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth.
Fellow Daoist Hu froze in mid-air and immediately summoned his spirit beast. A gigantic spirit ape appeared beside him, its body reaching five zhang in length. Upon its appearance, the ape roared, causing the entire cave to vibrate. Ye Tian struck again with his palm. Fellow Daoist Hu and his spirit pet punched together. Ye Tian's blood-red palm print collided with the golden fist prints of Fellow Daoist Hu and his spirit beast, creating a deafening roar.
On the other side, after fighting Qin Xiong for a while, Master Yiyuan was gradually defeated. Seeing this, Ayao drew her longsword and went to help Master Yiyuan. Zhang Lan looked at Ye Tian with resentment in her heart, and immediately went to help Fellow Daoist Hu.
Ye Tian and Qin Xiong were both at the late Nascent Soul stage, so even in a two-on-one fight, they had the upper hand. Moreover, these two had already made various preparations here. In the fierce battle, Fellow Daoist Hu was killed by Ye Tian, Zhang Lan was seriously injured, and Daoist Yiyuan also suffered considerable injuries. Seeing the situation turning against them, A Yao released Little White.
The moment Xiao Bai appeared, the pressure emanating from him, a Void Refinement stage cultivator, caused Ye Tian and Qin Xiong's expressions to change drastically.
The white-clad corpse puppet wore a silver mask, its exposed eyes gleaming with a blood-red light. It exuded an aura of death, its oppressive power terrifying.
"Void refining period..."
Ye Tian, Qin Xiong, Zhang Lan, and Master Yiyuan all stared at A Yao in shock. None of them had expected that A Yao would actually possess a corpse puppet at the Void Refinement stage. Although they were all shocked, Ye Tian and Qin Xiong were horrified, while Master Yiyuan and Zhang Lan were overjoyed.
"Xiaobai, take them down," Ayao ordered.
At A Yao's command, the white-clad corpse puppet vanished. A white figure appeared behind Ye Tian, the puppet wielding a long sword and slashing at him. Ye Tian had already summoned his immortal artifact pearl, but it was useless; the white puppet's magic sword was also an immortal artifact. Ye Tian screamed in agony as he was cleaved in two by the white puppet's sword, his body falling to the ground, staining it crimson with blood.
After killing Ye Tian, Xiao Bai slashed at Qin Xiong with her sword. Qin Xiong suddenly revealed a strange smile, and wisps of blue-black mist appeared on his body. Then, one of his hands swelled up and turned into a huge claw. The claw stretched forward, and with a clang, Xiao Bai's longsword struck the claw, but it didn't sever Qin Xiong's claw.
Qin Xiong let out a strange laugh, and sharp horns grew from his head, his whole body shrouded in demonic energy.
Ayao was very surprised: "You are a demon."
Demons? Zhang Lan and Master Yiyuan were extremely shocked.
Qin Xiong laughed loudly: "That's right. Originally, I wanted to cooperate with that guy Ye Tian first, sacrifice you guys, then kill him and take all the treasure for myself. I didn't expect there was someone like you who was hiding your true abilities. Little girl, how did you do that? A Nascent Soul cultivator at the early stage can actually control a Void Refinement stage corpse puppet?"
Ayao coldly replied, "What's it to you?"
"Your corpse puppet looks quite good, I'll take it." Qin Xiong waved his hand, and huge blue claw marks appeared in the air, shooting towards A Yao. A Yao stood still, and Xiao Bai flashed in front of her, blocking her way. With a swing of his longsword, hundreds of terrifying sword energies shot out, shattering all of Qin Xiong's claw marks.
