Chapter 63: Trap

In the distant sky, there was a loud rumbling sound, and a sudden rain fell.

At this moment, Ye Chunyang and others were deep in the center of the tree trunk, surrounded by wormholes in the branches leading to the top of the tree, but after this change, all the wormholes surged with extremely shocking storms, as if the world in the ancient tree was about to collapse at any time.

Ye Chunyang was surprised.

Judging from the riot at this moment, the ancient tree was obviously under a huge attack from the outside world, making the world in the cave unstable, which led to this shocking change.

Ye Chunyang felt a strong sense of unease in his heart, but while Li Hong's spiritual power was out of control, he moved his body, broke through the fire curtain and rushed out, and then flew into the sky.

"What's going on?" Mu Yunshu frowned.

"Someone is forcibly breaking the ancient tree's forbidden method!" Princess Xuanyang's beautiful eyes were extremely shocked, "Once the forbidden method here is destroyed, it will produce a destructive force, and everyone will die!"

Hearing this, the monks trembled physically and mentally.

At this time, the cracks in the sky were getting bigger and bigger, and the entire treasure house was shaking. They could clearly feel their bodies sinking down bit by bit, and they were about to lose gravity and fall to the bottom.

It was obvious that the ancient tree had lost its mana support and was about to collapse.

The wormhole above was broken, and Li Hong was blocking it from below. This time, there was really no way to go up to the sky and no door to enter the earth.

Just as they were horrified, black spots suddenly appeared in the cracks in the sky, which grew from small to large and quickly fell to this place.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be human figures, including righteous disciples wearing Taoist robes and demon disciples with demonic energy. At this moment, they were fighting fiercely outside the ancient tree. It was the aftermath of their battle that caused cracks in the treasure house in the ancient tree.

"What happened? Why are there so many righteous and demon disciples!"

Looking at the battle outside the sky, the cultivators were terrified.

There were more than a hundred people in this battle, and most of them were foundation-building cultivators!

However, seeing this scene, Li Hong was not surprised but happy, and his face showed madness.

"Here they are, they are here, hahahaha... Hundreds of disciples from the headquarters were sacrificed, and they were led here. I thought I would have to wait for a while, but it was so quick. This time, let this Tianmai treasure house become the grave of the seven sects' disciples."

Just as Li Hong was muttering to himself, the battle outside the ancient tree had entered a white-hot stage. The blood-red demonic energy emanated from hundreds of disciples of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, like clouds covering the sky, and rushed towards the righteous disciples fiercely.

And in the crowd, Ye Chunyang actually saw an extremely familiar figure.

Su Xueyuan.

She actually came here, and led many foundation-building disciples behind her.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chunyang's heart was extremely cold.

He finally understood that the so-called spy mission was just to use them as bait to lure out the evil cultivators of the Demonic Path. After that, the higher-level foundation-building disciples would hunt the demons behind them.

What a good strategy to lure the snake out of the hole and the mantis catch the cicada!

Ye Chunyang was gloomy. He knew from the beginning that this mission would not be as simple as finding out the news of the Demon Sect. As expected, the sect had a back-up plan behind the scenes and did not care about their lives at all.

However, it seemed that although there were many disciples of the righteous sect in this battle, they were suppressed by the Blood Shadow Demon Sect.

At this time, around the disciples of the righteous sect, there were dozens of red blood orders rotating and floating, releasing raging blood and fire, surrounding everyone. There was even a blood-clothed man who was in the late stage of foundation building with Su Xueyuan. The two fought together and were extremely motivated.

This discovery shocked Ye Chunyang.

It was obvious that the Demon Sect had been prepared. After attracting the disciples of the righteous sect by some unknown method, they set up the "Blood Shadow Demon Fire Formation" to surround and kill them.

In a blink of an eye, the righteous sect had lost no less than ten disciples in the foundation building period. The battle was so tragic that it was unimaginable.

Originally, in order to avoid Li Hong, the scattered cultivators had already flown high into the sky with their weapons, but at this time they were also caught in the demonic energy and screamed continuously.

At this moment, a spiritual light came quickly.

Next to Mu Yunshu, a woman in yellow appeared. She was graceful and about 30 years old. She held a delicate jade ruyi in her hand, emitting a bright light.

"Third Senior Sister, why are you here?" Mu Yunshu looked at the newcomer with a look of surprise and doubt on his face.

"We fell into the trap of the demons. Before that, they sent a group of disciples to the Kingdom of Daughters and were intercepted by us. We got the news that the demons were lurking here from them. I didn't expect that it was a smokescreen created by the other party to lure us here, so as to use the thousand-year-old spiritual energy here to set up a magic array and catch us all in one fell swoop."

The woman in yellow said anxiously, and the information she threw out shocked Mu Yunshu and Ye Chunyang to the extreme.

She took a look at the place, then controlled the jade ruyi, released a bright yellow air shield, and lifted up Mu Yunshu and Princess Xuanyang: "Before, you sent a message to me outside the treasure house for support, but the demons had already prepared, and the righteous suffered heavy losses. We must not stay any longer, you and I will leave quickly."

Mu Yunshu was in a critical situation and was about to leave with the woman in yellow.

But at this time, a cold voice suddenly came from behind: "Since you are here, how can I let you go easily?"

With a "swish", the protective air shield of the woman in yellow suddenly broke, and a huge golden sword came in at some point and pierced through her full chest.

Looking back, I saw Li Hong holding a sword in one hand and a command in the other, with a grim smile.

At this time, his breath suddenly surged, and the spiritual energy around him was like a flood, revealing the cultivation of the early stage of foundation building.

"Third sister!"

Mu Yunshu was extremely sad and angry, and Princess Xuanyang was also shocked, but how could the two of them be Li Hong's opponents? They were injured and retreated after being shocked by his sword energy.

Fortunately, someone appeared behind them and caught them safely.

"This person was originally a foundation-building monk. Now that there is no forbidden law to suppress him, he is no longer a match for you and I. We must evacuate this place as soon as possible."

Ye Chunyang's voice was low, and the demonic way was invading. At this moment, he was facing the biggest crisis since he began to practice Taoism. If they could not evacuate this place, they would become victims of the battle between good and evil.

He looked around, locked on a crack in the sky, and wanted to escape with his imperial weapon.

"Now that things have happened, do you think you can still leave?"

A faint sneer echoed in his ears, and Ye Chunyang's heart was shaken.

After restoring his foundation-building cultivation, Li Hong's speed was incredibly fast and he appeared behind them in the blink of an eye.

While he was speaking, he waved the golden giant sword, and a sword wheel as bright as the scorching sun suddenly appeared in front of him. The ferocious spiritual energy whined like a violent wind, and like a heavy rain of sword energy, it instantly surrounded the three of them.

The absolute oppression made Ye Chunyang feel the breath of death, but he would not accept the killing obediently. He sent Mu Yunshu and Princess Xuanyang away with the power of his palms, and immediately swept the Qiankun Bag with his spiritual consciousness.

The three magic weapons, Tianluo Yanyue Blade, Qingxu Treasure Seal, and Prisoner Dragon Ancient Flag, were sacrificed together.

Suddenly, Princess Xuanyang's heart was shaken, and her beautiful eyes were staring at the ancient flag, unable to control herself.

"Why is this ancient flag in his hand?"

This ancient flag was made by her and disappeared after being surrounded by two Taoist youths.

At this moment, he appeared in the hands of this ghost-faced man. Could it be that he was the one who saved him in the dense forest that night?

She stared at Ye Chunyang's figure. The black cloak on the latter's body now became more and more identical to that of the man of the night in her eyes.

Ye Chunyang didn't know what Princess Xuanyang was thinking, let alone what interactions he had with her. With his current power of divine consciousness, he could control these magical weapons at the same time without any pressure. When Li Hongjian's energy came towards him, his mind moved. Drive all the magic weapons to fight bravely.

"How can you control so many magical weapons at the same time?"

This scene surprised Li Hong, but he didn't take it seriously and slashed through the air with his giant sword.

The harsh sound of the collision of magic weapons was heard, and after a shocking fluctuation, Li Hong was found safe and sound. Instead, Ye Chunyang's body flew back, and a large crater exploded when his feet landed on the ground.

At this time, all the magic weapons had cracks, and there was no trace of spiritual power anymore. Except for the ancient magic weapon of Prisoner Dragon Ancient Flag, they were all useless.

From this, Ye Chunyang deeply realized that the foundation-building monks were so powerful that they could not even use medium-sized magic weapons.

But he sneered, and a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Li Hong came through the air, looked down at Ye Chunyang and the three people on the ground from a high position, and laughed: "I didn't expect you to be able to control so many magical weapons at the same time. It's really surprising, but it's a pity..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to notice something and looked down at the flying sword in his hand.

But it was too late.

On Li Hong's flying sword, a fiery red bead exploded with a bang, and the dazzling spiritual light wave spread out like a thunderous wave. Then he heard him scream violently, and his body was drowned.

Seeing this, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, the crisis was finally resolved.

Just when he had just let go of his hanging heart, a cold gaze suddenly looked at him.

"Fire Spirit Pearl! How come you have this thing!"

Mu Yunshu looked shocked. Just now he saw clearly that the bead that detonated Li Hong was the Fire Spirit Bead.

"I gave this bead to a junior brother of mine, how did it appear in your hand? Who...are you?"

She stared at his mask, as if she wanted to see through it.

But she immediately denied her inner speculation. Although her wooden junior brother had improved in cultivation, he was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. This person was at least the ninth level. How could it be him?

Or maybe her junior brother has met with something unexpected and the Fire Spirit Pearl has been taken away by this person?

Ye Chunyang secretly smiled bitterly.

He knew that if he sacrificed the Fire Spirit Pearl this time, he would inevitably be suspected by Mu Yunshu, but in a life-and-death situation, everything seemed unimportant, and he had already thought of an excuse, and then said calmly: "There are so many Fire Spirit Pearls in the world. Is it just your junior brother’s one?”

Mu Yunshu's expression froze.

Indeed, as she said, the Fire Spirit Pearl is just an ordinary medium-level magic weapon. As long as you have some means, you can buy it in Xiuxian City everywhere. Maybe you are overthinking it?

Ye Chunyang smiled and said nothing, and was about to continue speaking when another person asked next to him.

"I dare to ask, senior, where did you get this ancient flag?"

Princess Xuanyang clasped her hands slightly, showing her inner nervousness.

Hearing this, Ye Chunyang felt a chill in his heart. The other person's question reminded him of the killing of two Taoist youths that night. Could it be that this matter had already reached the ears of a third person?

Ye Chunyang's eyes showed murderous intent.

If this matter is really exposed, he will face a crazy pursuit by the world, and Lingyun Sect will obviously not offend him because of a small handyman disciple. In this situation, he will have no way out!

Just when he was thinking about whether to capture Princess Xuanyang, interrogate her, and kill her, a slight cough suddenly made his expression change, and he saw a figure slowly appear in the aftermath of the explosion.
