A flame of black and red mixed with destructive energy rose slowly above the Hancui Cliff. Along with a dull roar, a mushroom cloud slowly spread out in all directions.

Below the pillar of fire, a few green ripples appeared on the mountain protection formation of Hancui Cliff.

Under such a fierce attack, the mountain protection formation had already responded on its own without Chu Tian needing to launch an attack. Hundreds of lightning bolts as thick as water tanks emitted a roar several times louder than the explosion of the Ruicheng Fire Crossbow, tearing through the void and splitting out.

Those who had just activated the City Destruction Fire Crossbow were a group of spiritual practitioners from a small family in the Windless Canyon.

They can be regarded as Master Qiao's staunch allies and have gained many benefits from him. Therefore, they are very disapproving of Chu Tian's busyness in the Windless Canyon in the past two days.

When Master Qiao called out and gathered his relatives and friends to attack Handui Cliff, this group of spiritual practitioners from small families who were eager to show off and make achievements immediately used the ultimate weapon in their hearts - the Ruicheng Fire Crossbow!

As the black and red pillars of fire slowly rose into the sky, these guys were still clapping their hands and laughing triumphantly. Suddenly, lightning shot out from behind the pillars of fire and hit them head-on. These guys suddenly realized that this was the most expensive mountain protection formation in the entire Windless City.

The most expensive one proves to be the most powerful!

Dozens of defensive spiritual weapons flew out rapidly amid the shrill cries of these guys, rushing towards the thunder like moths to a flame.

Thunder struck violently, lightning flashed everywhere, and dozens of spiritual weapons were blown to pieces amid the deafening explosion. Lightning swept across the void and heavily struck the group of spiritual practitioners who were retreating rapidly backwards!

Dozens of transparent human figures appeared in the sky, and strong electric currents penetrated their bodies, shattering their flesh, bones, and internal organs. After the lightning faded, these figures turned into ashes and drifted away in the wind.

The dozen or so alchemists who were setting fire to attack the mountain protection formation stopped in a daze, looking at each other in silence.

Just now, they used their usual alchemy methods to stimulate the true fire to burn the Hancui Cliff's mountain protection formation, but there was no reaction from the formation. They thought that Chu Tian was afraid of them and dared not react!

It was not until the City Destroying Fire Crossbow exploded in the air and countless thunders broke through the air and killed people that these alchemists realized belatedly that it was not because Chu Tian was afraid of them and did not fight back, but that their attacks were not strong enough to trigger a counterattack from the mountain protection formation!

"Master Qiao!" Several alchemists turned around and looked at Master Qiao awkwardly.

Master Qiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the place where those spiritual practitioners were killed by the formation just now, his face was very gloomy.

He didn't have a very good reputation in the Windless Valley. He was greedy for money and lustful. In short, his reputation was not very good. However, in order to gain a solid foothold, he still put in some effort and won over some small families.

This time he came to settle accounts with Chu Tian, ​​in order to strengthen his momentum, Master Qiao gathered all the spiritual practitioners from those small families who were close to him, and formed a mighty team of thousands of people!

As soon as they met, dozens of people were killed. Seeing the ugly expressions of the remaining people, Master Qiao's heart was boiling with anger and he wanted to kill people. The fire poison that he had just suppressed started to boil again because of his rising heart fire. Master Qiao's face was flashing red and blood seemed to be gushing out of his pores.

"Hu Xiaotian! Come out, I have something to ask you!" He waved his hand gently, signaling everyone to stand behind him. Master Qiao gathered his strength and snorted coldly at Han Cuiya surrounded by blue clouds.

In front of the small building, Chu Tian held the Red Cloud Furnace in both hands, looking at the mushroom cloud spreading slowly in the sky, and sighed faintly: "It really has come knocking on my door. Ha, ha, is it going to end?"

Master Qiao shouted loudly, but after a while there was no response, and his face became even uglier.

"Hu Xiaotian, my colleagues in the alchemy field in Wufeng Gorge have come to visit you, and this is your attitude? You are indeed lawless, arrogant, and shameless. How can you be qualified to be an alchemist?" Master Qiao glared at Han Cuiya and yelled.

Chu Tian shook his head gently. He pointed his finger and a ray of green light flashed. His voice passed through the mountain protection formation and resounded for hundreds of miles: "Oh? May I ask, why am I not qualified to be an alchemist?"

Master Qiao was cheered up. He was waiting here, waiting for Chu Tian to speak.

Hearing Chu Tian's words, Master Qiao turned around and grabbed Baihe, who was in tattered clothes, had a pale face, and looked pitiful and weak, from behind him: "Hu Xiaotian, do you still recognize this girl? How dare you bully a weak girl who has no parents and whose family has been destroyed!"

As soon as Master Qiao finished speaking, Chu Tian's voice came out: "I know her. This girl's real name is Li Ling'er, and her stage name... Oh, no, the apprentice name you gave her is Lily. She is the youngest daughter of the Li family in Xiaoliu Village, south of Luoyun City, 8,000 miles northwest of Wufeng City."

Master Qiao and Lily were stunned on the spot. Lily looked pale and her body was shaking unconsciously. A blue vein on Master Qiao's forehead was as thick as his little finger and it looked like it was jumping up and down, which was really scary.

"You...what nonsense are you talking about?" Master Qiao roared in frustration.

"You are not talking nonsense. You accepted her as your disciple five years ago, but you kept it a secret all along because of the alchemy inheritance of the Li family in Xiaoliu Village. If the Li family had not presented you with their ancestral alchemy manual, and this girl was quite clever in alchemy, would you have accepted her as your disciple?"

Chu Tian sneered and said, "Everyone, please watch the show!"

As a mountain protection formation, in addition to its super strong defense and attack power, the mountain protection formation naturally has various auxiliary functions, such as monitoring the surrounding movements and recording the surrounding conditions.

Chu Tian raised the bronze mirror that controlled the mountain protection formation. A green light flickered at his fingertips. A large piece of green cloud coiled in front of Master Qiao and the others, condensing into a cloud curtain that was a hundred feet long and wide.

A green light flickered, and on the cloud screen appeared Lily's experience of being chased by four burly men and fleeing all the way to Handui Cliff in a panic.

"Haha, haha, Master Qiao, this little girl's ancestral home is eight thousand miles northwest of Windless City. How can a little girl in the Gathering Spirit Realm escape eight thousand miles from four spiritual practitioners in the Condensing Soul Realm? Are you kidding me?"

Afterwards, a scene appeared in the clouds where Lily pleaded pitifully with Chu Tian.

Chu Tian said slowly: "According to common sense, a little girl put her family heirloom in front of me, and she has a good talent for alchemy, I should take her as my apprentice and teach her well."

With a heavy sigh, Chu Tian said in a long voice: "But, a gentleman does not take away someone else's love. Master Qiao, she is your true disciple, your only true disciple. How dare I accept her as my disciple?"

"Haha, have you all seen clearly the cause and effect of the matter?" Chu Tian said with a smile to the spiritual practitioners who were looking at each other in bewilderment behind Master Qiao: "This is what happened. That's what Master Qiao told you. Hmm? Everyone, why did you come to attack me, Han Cuiya? Do you really think that I, Hu Xiaotian, am easy to bully?"

Master Qiao's body shook, and the fire poison in his body suddenly erupted, and a mouthful of burning old blood spurted out with a "wow".
