Lu Sanyuan's face was somewhat grim. He never expected that under such circumstances, there would still be 20% of people willing to follow Yun Jianyue.
He said coldly, "You're courting death!"
Zuan looked around and said, “You are all disciples of the Holy Church. If we cause infighting and killing each other because of personal desires, it will only make our friends suffer and our enemies rejoice. Lu Sanyuan, since you want to be the leader, don’t involve others. Why don’t you and I have a duel? The winner will be king and the loser will be a bandit.”
The members of the Demonic Sect nodded secretly, and even among the 80% who had sided with Lu Sanyuan, many felt a sense of shame.
Even at a time like this, Master Yun is still thinking of them, which is truly shameful.
To be honest, apart from a few die-hards, most people chose Lu Sanyuan because they were forced by the situation and naturally did not want to go up and fight to the death.
Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, Lu Sanyuan remained unmoved: "Senior Sister Yun, I thought you were someone important, but now it seems you're not honorable at all. Right now, your side only accounts for about 20% of the people, while our side has 80%, not to mention that we're surrounded by my elite troops. Under these circumstances, you're talking to me about a fair duel?"
He was too lazy to talk to her any longer, worried that she might cause some trouble that would shake morale, so he waved his hand.
Upon receiving the order, the archers around the courtyard wall released their bows, and arrows rained down in an instant, appearing almost immediately in front of the followers of Yun Jianyue.
Hearing the terrifying whistling sound of the arrows piercing the air, everyone turned pale. These arrows were all enhanced with runes, making them incredibly powerful and armor-piercing. Although they were all skilled fighters in the sect, they might be able to withstand one or two waves of this terrifying rain of arrows, but ultimately they were destined to be shot to death here.
Just as everyone was filled with fear, a pale yellow light barrier appeared out of thin air, blocking all the arrows.
Everyone was overjoyed and turned to look at Chi Fuzi in the center: "The Venerable Guiyin is mighty!"
At this moment, a small array plate appeared in Chi Fuzi's hand. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cursed, "What a load of bull! You didn't bring enough magic treasures to the wedding today. This defensive array can only last for ten breaths at most. If you can't think of a way before then, you'll all die here together."
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of cracking sounds rang out around him.
To everyone's horror, the arrows proved to be true armor-piercing arrows of the battlefield. They did not fall off the light barrier after hitting it; instead, the arrowheads flashed with runes and the arrow shafts spun continuously, trying to penetrate the light barrier.
If it's just a few arrows, the Hidden Master's defensive formation is enough to stop them.
However, there were simply too many arrows. These armor-piercing arrows were everywhere, trying to break through the light barrier. The entire light barrier was flickering, and cracks appeared in many places, clearly on the verge of breaking at any moment.
The crowd reacted quickly and unleashed various ranged attacks, beams of light shooting towards the archers on the courtyard wall.
With muffled groans, many archers were hit and fell to the ground.
At this moment, the soldiers in the courtyard formed a shield and blocked the subsequent attacks.
Some of Lu Sanyuan's trusted men also flew over to help deflect these ranged attacks.
With them taking the lead, the others had no choice but to act, fearing that if they didn't show their abilities at this crucial moment, Lu Sanyuan would settle scores with them later.
The majority of those who joined Lu Sanyuan's camp were already there, and these people were also experts in the sect, so they quickly and easily neutralized the opponent's ranged attacks.
The archers' formation stabilized completely, and with their coordinated efforts, they continued their relentless attacks into the field.
With a crack, the array plate in Chi Fuzi's hand shattered completely, and the surrounding defensive light shield also scattered into starlight almost simultaneously.
The people inside brandished their weapons to deflect the ensuing attacks, but their expressions were more or less filled with despair.
Everyone knew that the other 80% of the followers who attended the wedding could be wiped out in a few rounds of attacks, not to mention the many archers with crossbows and Lu Sanyuan's elite armored soldiers.
Just then, the sound of a pipa suddenly rang out, plaintive and melodious.
The soldiers, who had been filled with murderous intent, calmed down a bit, and involuntarily lowered their crossbows.
The other 80% of the demonic cult members also gave up the attack, finding all the fighting and killing utterly meaningless at that moment.
Only some of the female followers were puzzled and asked their companions, "What's wrong with you?"
Unfortunately, they received no response, so they naturally dared not leave the main force to continue the attack on their own.
Following the men's gaze, a woman in a flowing white dress appeared in a tree in the distance, holding a pipa in her arms. She gently plucked the strings with her delicate hands, her toes touching the swaying branches. She swayed in the wind as if standing on a cloud.
Her beauty and unique temperament are truly difficult to describe with human words.
For a fleeting moment, even the woman had a thought: Is this a fairy descending to earth?
Qiu Honglei couldn't help but secretly transmit her voice, "Aunt, this Daji girl is so beautiful, so incredibly beautiful."
Although it wasn't the first time I'd seen it, each time it still deeply moved me.
Zuan laughed and said, "You are very beautiful too. These days in Qiuchi, I have found that almost all the young disciples of the Demonic Sect are your admirers."
In fact, he could have easily dealt with such a large number of people using the Lion's Roar technique, but with Yun Jianyue's appearance now, it would be rather unseemly for him to use the Lion's Roar technique.
If rumors spread throughout the martial arts world that Yun Jianyue's Lion Roar repelled everyone, Sister Yun would surely bite me to death if she found out.
