Chapter 3974 Lure the snake out of its hole
Tang Ziyuan became a little embarrassed by what I said: "Brother Wu, no, I only said that to trick Liu Hao. I originally thought I could kill Liu Hao, but I didn't expect him to be so lucky. Those people from the Guandao didn't kill him."
"You're quite something, kid. So young and already so shrewd. Who taught you all that? Uncle Tang doesn't have as many tricks up his sleeve as you," I said with a laugh.
"Brother Wu, please stop joking with me. My dad has told me a lot about you. In fact, you guys are the real ancestors. I've been influenced by my dad talking about Brother Wu so much that I've become a bit smarter without even realizing it," Tang Ziyuan said modestly.
"Alright, now is not the time to talk about this. There's chaos outside, and many people have died. Yuan Kong and I will set up a magic array for you. Stay inside and don't go out. Who knows how long this fight will last? After I set up the array, I'll tell you how to break it. If I don't come back, you can release them."
With that, I returned to the Ancestral Hall, retrieved my Five Elements Command Flag, and began setting up a magic array behind the main hall. With Yuan Kong's help, the array was quickly completed. I instructed Tang Ziyuan to lead the Taoist academy students to stay inside the array and taught him how to break it. After giving him repeated instructions, Yuan Kong and I quickly left.
As Yuan Kong and I turned to leave, Tang Ziyuan called out, "Brother Wu, you must come back!"
I glanced back at Tang Ziyuan and felt a strange sense of familiarity with him. I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be back."
After saying that, Yuan Kong and I passed through the Ancestral Hall again and arrived at the square in front of us.
The fighting here was incredibly fierce, and naturally, our side suffered the most casualties.
Of the thirty-odd teachers at the Taoist academy, less than half are still standing, and the female Taoist priests have suffered even greater losses.
Ge Yu fought alone against Elders Qinglong and Xuanwu. The Maoshan Nine Star Sword in his hand unleashed powerful force, leaving the two elders with almost no chance to defend themselves.
On the other side, Master Chenyuan was also overwhelming Hu Jiuqing, and it looked like he was about to kill him with his sword.
Even when surrounded by five or six sword slaves, the Mysterious Master was still able to handle the situation with ease.
Seeing this, I finally felt a little more at ease; the battle situation had temporarily stabilized.
At this moment, I glanced again in the direction of the Dream Back Sedan Chair in the corner of the square, feeling a little worried.
Four experts were protecting the Dream Back Sedan Chair. There must be someone inside. Could that person be Bai Mile?
In that instant, a lot of thoughts raced through my mind...
There might really be a clone of White Maitreya inside the Dream Back Sedan Chair. The last time White Maitreya appeared in Kunlun, it was True Man Huangye who drove away his clone. A long time has passed, and now, White Maitreya's cultivation must have improved a lot.
Considering what Hu Jiuqing said back then, he didn't take the top experts of the Maoshan Sect seriously at all, which means he must have something to rely on.
The greatest reliance might be the white Maitreya Buddha inside the sedan chair.
Bai Mile could not lead his men to attack Maoshan Sect, as it was protected by a powerful magic array.
In that case, Bai Mile could easily lure the main force of the Maoshan Sect to this place and then wipe them all out. With the top members of the Maoshan Sect eliminated, the remaining members of the Maoshan Sect would be rendered meaningless.
This tactic is called "luring the snake out of its hole".
What I don't understand is, if Bai Mile really came and is sitting in that Dream Back Sedan Chair, why hasn't he made a move yet? Right now, the strongest members of the Maoshan Sect have already appeared...
Could it be that he's still waiting, or perhaps someone even stronger will appear here?
As I was thinking about these things, suddenly, a muffled groan came from not far away. I looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Elder White Tiger had been kicked away by Ge Yu and rolled on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of golden blood.
Elder Qinglong's dragon-headed cane transformed into a giant black python, coiling around Ge Yu. Ge Yu cleaved off many of its scales with a single sword strike. Then, Ge Yu's figure transformed into a beam of light, seemingly merging with his magic sword, and he charged straight towards Elder Qinglong.
Seeing this, Elder Qinglong panicked and retreated while loudly pleading for help: "Left Protector, save me..."
A moment later, suddenly, a person appeared to the side of Elder Qinglong and slashed a sword heavily towards Ge Yu.
This sword strike caused Ge Yu to pause, flying backward a distance. After landing, he staggered a few steps, and the bluestone slabs beneath his feet shattered.
Good heavens, even the Left Protector Peng Lingxiao is here.
All the masters of Yiguandao gathered here.
This further illustrates that the white Maitreya's clone is very likely inside that Dream Back Carriage.
The presence of Bai Mile sitting in the Dream Return Sedan Chair at this moment gives the people of Yiguandao immense courage. As long as Bai Mile's clone is there, there is someone to protect them, so what is there to fear?
With a single move, Peng Lingxiao broke through Ge Yu's killing move.
Peng Lingxiao is the Left Protector of the First Gate, the number one person below Bai Mile, so his cultivation is naturally much stronger than Hu Jiuqing's.
Judging from this person's strength, I feel he's almost on par with my old master.
Upon seeing Peng Lingxiao suddenly appear beside Elder Qinglong, Ge Yu's expression darkened, and he immediately became vigilant.
Peng Lingxiao grabbed Elder Qinglong's shoulder and pushed him back: "I've come to meet the youngest sect leader of Maoshan Sect, and also the youngest Immortal Realm expert in China."
As he spoke, Peng Lingxiao slowly walked towards Ge Yu, who stood motionless, looking wary.
When I saw Peng Lingxiao, I thought to myself, "Oh no!"
Peng Lingxiao is a master at the mid-stage of the Upper Immortal Realm, while Ge Yu is only at the early stage of the Upper Immortal Realm. The difference in strength is overwhelming. If Ge Yu doesn't use some top-tier, trump card, he is definitely no match for Peng Lingxiao.
However, I didn't see any fear in Ge Yu's eyes. There were only the small swords hanging on the Maoshan Nine Star Sword colliding with each other, making a trembling sound.
Before Peng Lingxiao could make a move, a cold wind suddenly rose across the entire square, and the air became extremely cold.
A voice came from all directions: "Oh my, it's so lively outside Jinling City today, I've come to join in the fun..."
As they were talking, a scarlet whirlwind appeared beside Ge Yu, spinning around him. The red whirlwind quickly subsided and transformed into an old ghost dressed in an official robe. Upon seeing the old ghost, I trembled with fear.
Good heavens, it's actually a top-tier ghost immortal among ghosts, a powerful being capable of instantly killing a hundred of Sister Na!
