Ruan Xiyan felt that the living dead were inextricably linked to the spies who had infiltrated the Illusionary Hidden Sect.
It's a good opportunity to use these living dead to test the loyalty of the recruited experts to the Illusionary Hidden Sect.
Seeing the approaching undead, the people of the Illusionary Hidden Sect quickly engaged them in battle.
“This demonic energy is stronger than the power we’ve encountered on the mortal continent before.” Yu Qiqi smashed a living dead man in front of her to death with a single blow.
“But we are not the same as we used to be,” Lin Muze replied.
The two stood back to back, one wielding a long spear and the other carrying two meteor hammers, knocking away any approaching undead.
The other Illusionary Hidden Sect disciples were all ganging up on a living dead man, pinning him to the ground and raining blows on him.
Poison appeared in Luo Wanyin's hand, and the poison condensed into countless tiny insects, which scurried among the fighting crowd.
Each venomous worm burrowed precisely into the body of the undead, and the moment the worm entered, the undead collapsed to the ground.
Ruan Xiyan stood still, not making a move, carefully observing the powerful individuals she had recruited.
Those powerful figures were all diligently killing the invading undead, without any shirking or cheating. With those powerful figures around, the more than one hundred undead who came were quickly wiped out.
Lin Muze slung the spear over his shoulder. "These living dead aren't that powerful!"
Ruan Xiyan stared at the fallen living dead, sensing that things were not so simple.
"They're alive... alive! These living dead have stood up again!" The disciples exclaimed in horror as they watched the scene unfold before them.
Black beads flew out from the undead in front of them, intertwined in the air a few times, and then burrowed back into the bodies of the undead.
The undead moved their stiff limbs and shakily stood up from the ground.
Lin Muze and his group immediately became wary.
All eyes were drawn to the resurrected undead.
Taking advantage of the crowd's attention being drawn away, a man in the crowd quietly retreated, revealing the power in his hands.
Ruan Xiyan's spiritual power was constantly spread around her. Although her eyes were fixed on the living dead in front of her, she did not relax her vigilance towards her surroundings.
Sensing the commotion behind her, Ruan Xiyan smirked and finally couldn't help but make her move.
"You brat, I've been acting with you for so long, it's been so frustrating! I've finally found my chance, go die!" The attack came from behind in the blink of an eye.
Ruan Xiyan was about to retaliate.
Suddenly, an even faster attack came, blocking the attack that was right behind Ruan Xiyan.
"Sister Yan, are you alright?" Yu Qiqi exclaimed in surprise at this unexpected turn of events.
Ruan Xiyan shook her head and turned to look at the middle-aged man behind her who had revealed his true face.
He then glanced at the man who had made the move. He hadn't been very noticeable in the Illusionary Concealment Sect these past few days, but he hadn't expected the man to react so quickly.
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with frustration when he saw that his attack had missed.
"You busybody!" he roared at the man who had made the move.
If it weren't for this guy, he might have been able to successfully assassinate Ruan Xiyan and complete the mission assigned to him by the sect leader.
"Those who know what's good for them will hand over the medicinal beast, or I will massacre the Illusionary Hidden Sect today."
"What arrogance! You think you can wipe out my Illusionary Hidden Sect? Take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror. Do you even have the ability?" Yu Qiqi pointed at the middle-aged man, her face full of anger.
This is the traitor who infiltrated the Illusionary Hidden Sect; he even tried to ambush Sister Yan just now.
“I have already planted gunpowder throughout the Illusionary Hidden Sect. With my command, you will not only be surrounded by the immortal undead.”
"Moreover, the gunpowder will explode with a bang, and the entire Illusionary Hidden Sect will be reduced to ashes." Shen Qiang looked at the crowd whose expressions had changed drastically and sneered, "I went to great lengths to infiltrate the Illusionary Hidden Sect in preparation for this inside-outside collaboration."
“I know you don’t trust me and have sent disciples to secretly monitor me. But do you really think those useless disciples can keep an eye on me? In the end, you’ve just let a wolf into the house.”
Shen Qiang threw his head back and laughed triumphantly, as if victory was already in his grasp.
Ruan Xiyan looked at Shen Qiang in front of her with an unhurried demeanor, as if she were looking at a fool.
"Are you sure you've buried all your gunpowder?" As Ruan Xiyan finished speaking, several Bugu birds with gunpowder in their beaks flapped their wings and landed beside her.
"One, two, three..." Shen Qiang saw that the gunpowder he had buried in the Illusionary Hidden Sect was all here, and his face was full of disbelief. "How could this be!"
"The snub-nosed birds have the most sensitive noses. They hover and soar in the air every day, so how could they possibly miss such a strong smell of gunpowder?"
Ruan Xiyan stroked the feathers of the Bugu bird and put them back into the Beast Suppression Tower.
"Your scheme has been exposed by Sister Yan. Let's see what other tricks you have up your sleeve." Lin Muze looked at Shen Qiang. "You thought we were the prey, but little did you know that you were the prey. We've been waiting for you for a long time, and we've finally waited for you to slip up."
"You plotted against me?!" Shen Qiang glared at Ruan Xiyan after realizing what had happened. "You knew all along that someone would infiltrate the Illusionary Hidden Sect. You deliberately let me in!"
“That’s right.” Ruan Xiyan smiled slightly. “Otherwise, how would we find out who the mastermind is from your prey?”
"Damn it! I'm so angry." Shen Qiang looked at the living dead standing there and whistled.
The undead stretched out their arms and lunged at the Illusionary Hidden Sect disciples around them.
"With these living dead around, I'll wear you down until you're all dead. By then, the medicinal beast will still be mine."
After Shen Qiang finished speaking, he displayed the strength of the ninth level of the Supreme Realm and struck Ruan Xiyan with his palm.
He wanted to personally take down the sect leader of the Illusionary Concealment Sect and achieve great merit.
If Ruan Xiyan hadn't relied on her alchemy skills to bribe powerful individuals to risk their lives for her, how could a mere girl with only a little over the Supreme Realm have become the sect leader of the Illusionary Hidden Sect?
His strength makes him more suitable to be the sect leader of the Illusionary Hidden Sect than Ruan Xiyan.
However, he disdained to be the leader of a mere small force, so he could only destroy him.
Seeing Shen Qiang attacking, Ruan Xiyan didn't retreat, but instead went to meet him.
She also wanted to see if, with her current strength, she could deal with a ninth-level Supreme Realm expert if she went all out.
Ruan Xiyan and Shen Qiang flew into the air and collided with each other.
Facing a powerful expert at the ninth level of the Supreme Realm, Ruan Xiyan dared not be careless in the slightest and immediately unleashed her killing move.
The phantom of Sword Spirit Abyss appeared behind her, and together they unleashed the strongest strike of Frostfall Sword.
Shen Qiang scoffed. Compared to his strength, someone at the third level of the Supreme Realm was worlds apart.
Her attacks were like tickling him.
