Chapter 191: So, you are the traitor!
Chapter 191: So, you are the traitor!
The young man in white robe retracted the sticky blue light, casually put away the bronze mirror and storage magic tool of the black-bearded elder, and continued to rush towards the next Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Bi Luo Cave.
"This person is really powerful!" Even though it was the second time Yuan Ming saw the opponent’s methods, he couldn’t help but be amazed.
Due to the appearance of this young man and his extremely strange methods, the Foundation Establishment cultivators nearby were all filled with fear and began to be distracted and cautious, not daring to exert their full strength. Under the fear of the Qi Refining cultivators, they also started to retreat.
On the contrary, the morale of the members of the Dawn Alliance soared, and their attacks were swift and fierce.
At this moment, the situation was delicate, and a slight change could affect the overall situation. The defense line of the entire Bi Luo Cave began to loosen.
At this moment, a white light shot from a distance and instantly arrived at the mountain gate, revealing the figure of a sturdy black-bearded old man. He was the second elder.
Without saying a word, he raised his hand and waved, and a green light the size of an arm fell on the ground next to the mountain gate and disappeared into it.
The ground there trembled, and an astonishing wave of spiritual power burst out from underground, but it quickly dissipated and disappeared.
Seeing this scene, the people nearby were all filled with doubts.
Under the joint efforts of Ougi and Blood Battle, they were unable to defeat the Grand Elder in a short period of time. They didn’t know the intention behind the second elder’s actions, so they both withdrew from the battle at the same time."Are you ready?" The Grand Elder breathed slightly, but he was delighted in his heart and asked through voice transmission.
"All seven formation eye pillars have been activated and can be used to activate the protective sect formation at any time." The second elder replied through voice transmission.
"Good, activate the formation immediately!" The Grand Elder’s eyes shone brightly.
"Some Qi Refining disciples outside have fought to a distance where the protective sect formation may not cover. Should we order the disciples to gather first and then activate the formation?" The second elder hesitated for a moment and asked through voice transmission.
"We don’t have time to consider that many things! Blood Battle is one thing, but Ougi is extremely cunning. Any action at this time will only add variables. Activate the formation first. Sacrificing some Qi Refining disciples for the sake of our Bi Luo Cave’s foundation is not important!" The Grand Elder coldly transmitted his voice.
The second elder stopped speaking after hearing this, and took out a green disc with complicated runes engraved on it, and activated it with hand gestures.
The ground near the mountain gate shook, and a black stone platform quickly emerged from the place where the spiritual power burst out earlier. It was covered with countless runes and lines, emitting dazzling green light.
Elder Chu Xiong of the Execution Hall flew out and landed on the stone platform. His body also emitted green light, resonating with the light of the stone platform.
He quickly performed hand gestures, and the green light on the stone pillars quickly condensed, turning into a green light pillar the size of a arm, shooting straight into the sky.
Almost at the same time, six other green lights rose from different directions around the Bi Luo Cave. Each of these green lights had a stone platform, and each stone platform was guarded by a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Bi Luo Cave.
The seven light pillars formed a circular shape, enclosing the entire Bi Luo Cave and part of the back mountain.
"Go!" The second elder waved his hand in mid-air, and the green disc in front of him shot towards the sky at an astonishing speed, reaching a very high place in the blink of an eye.
With a loud bang, the green disc burst into a dazzling green light, making it impossible to look directly at it, like a small green sun.
The seven towering light pillars were attracted by the green disc and all bent towards it, merging into the small green sun.
The second elder’s ten fingers danced as he performed hand gestures, and a green light curtain spread out from the disc, sliding down along the seven curved light pillars. It seemed that it would form a huge hemisphere-shaped light curtain that enveloped the entire Bi Luo Cave sect.
The green light curtain fell extremely fast, and it was about to touch the ground in the blink of an eye.
The Bi Luo Cave disciples outside the green light curtain hurriedly rushed towards the inside of the mountain gate.
It was a dead end to be trapped outside the green light curtain.
At this moment, Yuan Ming was still fighting with the tall and thin man. He was quite far from the mountain gate, but when he saw this scene, he quickly recalled his Nine Ring Golden Blade and also rushed towards the inside of the mountain gate.
"Don’t run!" The tall and thin man saw this and activated his black shuttle magic tool to chase after him. At the same time, a green light shot out from his sleeve, which was a green rope magic tool that coiled around Yuan Ming’s legs.
Yuan Ming didn’t turn back, but raised his hand and slashed in the air. Two white sword qi shot out from his hand and accurately cut the black shuttle and the green rope, causing them to pause for a moment and unable to continue chasing.
Yuan Ming activated the jade belt around his waist and used the Shadowless Steps technique, speeding up his whole person. In the next moment, he appeared in front of the mountain gate and flew in.
A black shadow followed him closely, entering the mountain gate. It was Wu Lu.
One by one, some disciples returned to the mountain gate. With a loud bang, a green light curtain fell on the ground, forming a huge protective sect formation like an inverted giant bowl, completely isolating many Bi Luo disciples who hadn’t had time to enter!
The Dawn Alliance had already gained the upper hand, but suddenly being separated from the Bi Luo Cave disciples by a light curtain, the situation instantly changed. They were all shocked and angry, and various magic tools fiercely struck the light curtain. The green light curtain only trembled slightly where it was hit.
Ougi and Blood Battle also landed from mid-air and floated in front of the green light curtain.
With their abilities, it was not difficult for them to enter the green light curtain just now. However, it was too dangerous for only the two of them to go in. If they were surrounded by the Bi Luo Cave, they would also be defeated on the spot.
Ougi raised his hand with one hand and pointed, and a black thunderbolt the size of a bowl hit the green light curtain, making a thunderous explosion.
This was the Kui Water Divine Thunder, a divine ability that could only be displayed when the water system cultivation reached a high level. The green light curtain trembled violently, and the place hit by the water thunder became thin by more than half.
But the surrounding green light quickly gathered, and the green light curtain returned to its original state in a few breaths.
Ougi raised his eyebrows, put down his arm, and ordered in a deep voice, "The enemy’s protective sect formation has been completed, but it is not unbreakable. Everyone, follow my orders and attack with all your strength!"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Dawn Alliance nearby all unleashed various means and attacked with all their strength.
For a while, various magic tools, spirit beasts, and corpse puppets were continuously sacrificed.
The members of the Dawn Alliance had complicated backgrounds and various attack methods. They even had secret techniques from the Five Sects of Southern Region and other regions in Southern Region.Amidst the booming sounds, various colored light orbs continuously exploded on the surface of the green light curtain, stirring up ripples of different colors and causing the air to vibrate violently.
Inside the Sect Protection Array, everyone felt the fierce attack from the Dawn faction, their expressions tense and hearts filled with lingering fear.
The few Dawn members who had followed them in were instantly besieged and killed by the disciples of the Bi Luo Cave.
Yuan Ming had already put away the Heart Splitting Thunder he had been holding in his hand. He looked at Wu Lu, seeing his chest heaving and his face serious, clearly not yet recovered from the previous tension.
He then looked outside the array, at the Bi Luo Cave disciples who had failed to escape. Under the concentrated attack of the Dawn faction, they had completely lost the ability to fight back.
Seeing that they were isolated outside the array, more and more people gave up resistance and chose to surrender.
The people of Dawn took away their storage bags and put a round magical artifact around each of their necks.
The people inside the Sect Protection Array could only watch all this happen, continuing to rely on the array’s defense to resist the enemy’s attack. Fortunately, the Sect Protection Array was quite sturdy. Although it was constantly shaking under the continuous bombardment, and the ground was also shaking non-stop, it did not collapse.
"What’s going on? Why hasn’t the auxiliary array outside the sect responded?" Elder Chu Xiong, who was guarding a part of the array, looked towards the distance outside the light curtain and couldn’t help but frown.
"Do you need to ask? It must have been sabotaged in secret." Elder Sa Ren, who had come here to support him, frowned and answered after a moment.
"That’s impossible. We have been strengthening our patrols. If the auxiliary array outside the mountain was destroyed, we would definitely have found out." Elder Chu Xiong said incredulously.
"We can only investigate the reason after this matter is over." Elder Sa Ren said with a serious face.
Upon hearing their conversation, Yuan Ming’s expression became complicated.
He suddenly remembered that during the hunt for the Human Demon King, he and Chen Wan had followed a seemingly intelligent person into an underground cave.
There, he had seen an ancient stone tablet about six feet high, engraved with the words "Tiger Trap". At that time, he didn’t know what it was, but now thinking back to the patterns on it, they were clearly array runes. It was probably the auxiliary array outside the sect that Elder Sa Ren and the others were talking about.
With the protection of the Sect Protection Array, the disciples who had managed to retreat back to the mountain gate were relieved. Seeing that the array could not be broken, they all showed joy, completely forgetting that many disciples had been abandoned outside the mountain gate.
Regardless of what others thought, Yuan Ming’s remaining gratitude for Bi Luo Cave had vanished at this moment.
He just wanted to rush back to the Fire Refining Hall to see what the situation was there.
In the entire Bi Luo Cave, if there was still a place worth his concern, it was there.
After making up his mind, Yuan Ming didn’t plan to stay here any longer. He turned his gaze to Wu Lu, intending to call him to leave together.
But at this moment, he found that Wu Lu had already turned around and was walking towards the sect.
"Wu Lu, the situation is critical this time. I’m afraid it won’t end until the Grand Elder makes a move. We might be able to help each other if we stick together." Yuan Ming immediately followed and said in a low voice.
Wu Lu turned his head and looked at him, "Brother Yuan is right. As long as the Grand Elder makes a move, Bi Luo Cave will definitely hold on. We do need to look out for each other. But you should leave here first, I still have some things to do." Wu Lu suddenly showed a slight smile and winked at Yuan Ming.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming frowned slightly, gave Wu Lu a deep look, and immediately turned around and left.
Seeing that he had walked some distance away, the smile on Wu Lu’s face gradually disappeared, and his expression became serious.
He slowly walked up to an elder and suddenly said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Son, kneel down now and call me ’Dad’, and I will spare your dog’s life."
The provoked elder angrily reached out to strangle Wu Lu.
But Wu Lu, it was as if he had been slapped hard, his toes touched the ground, and he flew backwards.
In mid-air, his hands waved up and down, looking out of control.
"So, you are the traitor!" Wu Lu shouted, like a thunderbolt out of the blue.
Hearing the sound, Yuan Ming turned around and saw this scene, also taken aback.
The disciples of Bi Luo Cave around were all dumbfounded. Their attention had been on the enemy’s attack on the Sect Protection Array, and they had no idea what had happened.
Elder Sa Ren and Elder Chu Xiong were the first to react, frowning and looking this way.
