Chapter 4585 Caught off guard

The chosen ones all have their own habits and don’t like to be restricted by others. Liu Wuxie is one of them.

When Gong Futu was born, strange phenomena appeared in the heaven and earth. He was trained by his family since he was young. At the age of thirty, he became the Holy Son of the Gong family, and now he is a sequence disciple.

From Gong Qingyang, we learned that Gong Futu was not the first in the Gong family, but could only be ranked in the top three. The Gong family has developed rapidly in recent years, and its influence has surpassed the Tang family.

Compared with the Tang family, the Gong family is much more low-key.

"We all underestimated the Gong family. No wonder Youlan Cloud Valley has suffered losses repeatedly over the years. I never thought that the Gong family's overall strength is already on par with the Night Empire."

Ye Tianhao said in disbelief.

"Besides your Gong family, have the Yan family, the Tang family, the Fu family, and the Night Empire also sent Semi-Saint-level experts to infiltrate the Four Elements Secret Realm?"

Liu Wuxie must understand that Gong Futu alone made him realize the intense crisis. If the five major forces each sent a strong man like Gong Futu, combined with the five semi-sacred artifacts, it would be very difficult for him to kill them.

"Due to restrictions imposed by the laws, those in the Half-Saint realm cannot enter the Four Elements Secret Realm. Gong Futu was able to enter because he refined the Heart of Heavenly Yin. Other families wanted to send people in, but they couldn't conceal the power of their own Half-Saint rules. As far as I know, they seem to have sent out quite a few Half-Step Half-Saint level elders, using the environment in the Four Elements Secret Realm to break through to the Half-Saint realm, which would pose a threat to the master. Before I came in, I was already a Half-Step Half-Saint. Everyone in the Gong family fully cooperated with me to help me break through to the Half-Saint realm."

Gong Qingyang shook his head.

If the five major forces each sent in a semi-saint realm expert, they would have wiped out Youlan Cloud Valley and the Ji family long ago.

It was just a Gong Futu, but Liu Wuxie didn't take him seriously. With his own methods, he might be able to kill him.

"I'll give you a mission. From now on, you'll be responsible for seizing the Yan family's treasures. Find a way to provoke conflict among the five major factions and cause them to collapse from within. This way, I can defeat them one by one."

Liu Wuxie converted Gong Qingyang not only because he was a semi-saint, but also because he wanted to use him to stir up disputes among the five major forces.

The five major forces are united because of me, and they are not a monolithic entity.

With just a few tricks, they can be torn apart, and Gong Qingyang is the best instigator.

"Yes!"

Gong Qingyang said with respect.

"Go ahead, but don't overdo it. Be as subtle as possible. Just let the other four major factions know it was your Gong family who did it. There's no need to make things too awkward. Conflicts accumulate over time. Forcing a conflict will only arouse suspicion."

Liu Wuxie instructed again seriously.

Gong Qingyang has lived for countless years, how could he not understand Liu Wuxie's intentions?

"Yes!"

After Gong Qingyang finished speaking, he jumped off the mountain and headed towards other areas.

"Brother Liu, this is a very clever move of yours. If you can successfully sow discord, the five major forces will inevitably cause internal conflicts, and this will divert attention away from you."

Ye Tianhao gave Brother Liu a thumbs up.

"There's no time to lose. We should set off to prevent the Gong family from harming the disciples of Youlan Cloud Valley."

After Liu Wuxie finished speaking, he took Ye Tianhao and left the mountain and headed towards the periphery.

Disciples from the four major sects rarely go deep into uninhabited areas. In the first one or two months, everyone lived in peace and searched everywhere for Hongmeng grass.

Two months later, the Hongmeng grass in the outer area had already been searched thoroughly. If one wanted to obtain more Hongmeng grass, they could only start from other people, and plundering was undoubtedly the best way.

"For the next period of time, I won't take action lightly unless you are facing a life-or-death crisis. Otherwise, you will gain experience on your own. This is a good opportunity to improve your combat effectiveness."

Three days later, the two finally left the no-man's land. With Liu Wuxie there, all the ignorant holy beasts along the way were killed by him.

"Right on my mind!"

Ye Tianhao nodded.

During the time he had been deep in the mountains, although his cultivation had improved by several levels, his combat effectiveness had increased extremely slowly. Most of the time, it was Brother Liu who was fighting the sacred beast, and he could not help much.

Every time one advances in realm, one needs to constantly hone his skills in order to stabilize the realm. Ye Tianhao spent only more than a month to advance seven or eight levels of cultivation, and his foundation has become unstable.

The best way is to hone your foundation through actual combat.

"Go ahead, I'll follow you in secret!"

Liu Wuxie let Ye Tianhao gain experience on his own, and he would follow him secretly.

With his current level of cultivation, even a beginner in the semi-saint realm would find it difficult to detect his presence.

Ye Tianhao, holding a weapon, went into the dense forest. His first purpose was to gain experience, and his second was to find other disciples of Youlan Yun Valley.

Liu Wuxie hid his body, like a ball of air, floating behind Ye Tianhao. He could reach anyone within a hundred miles in an instant.

For several days, it was very peaceful. On the way, Ye Tianhao encountered some sacred beasts and killed them one by one with his own strength.

There are only twenty days left until the March deadline, and the competition is even more intense during this period. On the fifth day, Ye Tianhao was attracted by the sound of fighting in the distance.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Tianhao continued to shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the battle area. More than a dozen top-level sub-saints were besieging five elders of the Youlan Cloud Valley. There was also a person lying on the ground. It was the outer sect elder of the Youlan Cloud Valley. He was barely breathing, seriously injured, and could die at any time.

The few disciples who were accompanying them stood in the distance. A battle of this level was beyond their ability to participate.

Liu Wuxie landed on a big tree, looking down at the ground, taking in everything around him.

"People from the five major forces!"

Liu Wuxie's eyes narrowed.

Those who besieged the elders of Youlan Cloud Valley included not only the strong men of the Gong and Yan families, but also the elders of the Tang, Fu and Night Empire.

They were invited to become the protectors of the disciples of the Gong and Yan families. Their real purpose was to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the strength of Youlan Yungu and the Ji family, and secondly to kill Liu Wuxie.

Youlan Yungu signed a cooperation agreement with the Ji family and Taihemen, successfully resisting the counterattack of the five major forces against Taihemen, making the five major forces bear a grudge.

"Chi Rui, give up resistance. None of you will leave alive today!"

The one who spoke was an elder of the Gong family. Their Gong family had a deep feud with Youlan Yungu, so his attacks were extremely fierce, and each move was a killing move.

On the side of Youlan Cloud Valley, the elder named Chi Rui had the highest cultivation level, reaching the top sub-sage. He was no match for four hands with two fists. The other side had too many people and their strength was not inferior to theirs, so he quickly fell into a disadvantage.

"Your Gong family has a very deep plan. You want to use the Four Elements Secret Realm to attack our Youlan Cloud Valley. We will not let you succeed. Even if it means death, we will drag you down with us today."

Chi Rui's aura surged, and a terrifying aura swept out. This was a fighting style of mutual destruction.

"Old man Chi, stop struggling in vain. From the moment you, Youlan Cloud Valley, chose to cooperate with the Taihe Sect, you were destined to be targeted by the five of us. So your death is not unjust."

A powerful man from the Tang family said this with a gloomy face.

"Tang Qing, you are such a despicable villain! You used such despicable means to injure one of us. One day, your Tang family will suffer retribution!"

Another elder of Youlan Cloud Valley shouted angrily.

The battle became more and more intense, and all kinds of terrifying moves were constantly used, making the surroundings a mess.

Rocks collapsed, trees broke, and a large number of cracks appeared in the sky and the earth. The area within a radius of several thousand feet had already been razed to the ground.

"Elders, I'm here to help you!"

Without any hesitation, Ye Tianhao quickly rushed into the battle group to assist the sect elders and resist the counterattack of the five major forces.

"Take the other disciples and leave quickly. Leave this place to us old guys."

Chi Rui shouted at Ye Tianhao.

Ye Tianhao was just an ordinary disciple in Youlan Cloud Valley before. Since Liu Wuxie arrived in Youlan Cloud Valley, everyone in the entire Youlan Cloud Valley knew Ye Tianhao, including the senior elders.

In just two months, Ye Tianhao climbed all the way from the primary virtual saint to the sub-saint realm, which shocked Chi Rui and other elders.

The most important thing right now is to escort those disciples away, and these old bones of them will hold back the strong men from the five major forces.

"Don't worry, elders. They will all die today!"

Ye Tianhao had a gloomy face, and a terrifying murderous intent swept out. He rushed forward without hesitation, which made Chi Rui and others' eyes twitch wildly.

"Come back quickly, they are at the top sub-saint level!"

Chi Rui stamped his feet anxiously and told Ye Tianhao to retreat quickly.

Although Ye Tianhao is strong, he has just entered the sub-saint realm. Compared with those top sub-saints, there is still a big gap. Killing them directly like this is no different from committing suicide.

"You ignorant fool, I'll kill you first!"

A strong man from the Gong family rushed in and slashed at Ye Tianhao with the sword in his hand. The sharp sword energy split the sky and the earth into two.

Ye Tianhao did not dare to be careless. He raised his weapon and blocked it in mid-air.

"Qiang!"

The powerful collision knocked Ye Tianhao away.

After taking the Yan Yuche Spirit Fruit, his body was different from that of an ordinary person. He was knocked away by a top-level sub-saint, but he only suffered some shocks and his foundation was not damaged.

"Come again!"

Ye Tianhao needed such a battle to sharpen his foundation.

"boom!"

Ye Tianhao was knocked out again.

Time and time again, Chi Rui and the others were stunned. They didn't expect that Ye Tianhao could withstand three attacks and survive.

The fourth time, Chi Rui finally stopped him and prevented Ye Tianhao from continuing to attack.

"I recognize him. It's Liu Wuxie, whom he invited to be his protector. I didn't expect to meet him here. What's strange is why I don't see Liu Wuxie."

Another elder of the Gong family immediately recognized Ye Tianhao's identity.

The news that Liu Wuxie became the protector of the disciples of Youlan Yungu was already spreading like wildfire before entering the Four Elements Secret Realm.

For this reason, the five major forces conducted a special investigation and finally found out Ye Tianhao's identity.

"Liu Wuxie, I know you are here, just come out and die!"

Tang Qing roared at the air around him, telling Liu Wuxie to get out quickly.

It was quiet all around and no one answered him.

"No need to shout. Brother Liu doesn't even need to kill you personally."

Ye Tianhao gripped the weapon tightly in his hand and attacked again while Chi Rui and the others were still in shock.

"Since you refuse to show yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll kill this brat first. I wonder how long you can hide."

Tang Qing thought that Liu Wuxie was hiding in the dark and didn't dare to show up, so he asked Ye Tianhao to fight. After all, there were too many masters on their side, and even an ordinary semi-saint might not be able to do anything to them.

"Roar!"

A fierce roar came from the depths of the jungle.

immediately!

A terrifying semi-saint-level holy beast swooped down from the air and charged into the crowd, catching everyone off guard.
