Inside the Yue Clan Villa, the battle that was as loud as a landslide and a tsunami did not last long. It ended in less than fifteen minutes.
Far away, the scattered troops waited for a long time. Seeing that there was no movement inside the villa and that there was no battle, they turned back carefully.
With the Rank-4 expert taking the lead, the subordinates lagged far behind, falling far behind.
The leaders of the Wulin League gathered together and slowly walked into the villa. The Earth Sect and Duke Huai's secret agents formed a camp.
Xiao Yuenu and the others were tense. Even though they were confident in their leader and it was only a clone, Dao Chief Renzong was a veteran second-grade martial artist.
He could not be judged by common sense.
"Don't worry. Alliance Leader Cao is a third-grade martial artist. No matter how powerful Dao Chief Renzong is, he can't defeat Alliance Leader in such a short time," Fu Jingmen said calmly.
"But the battle is over," the leader of the Thousand Mechanics Sect said.
"In my opinion, Alliance Leader Cao won." Xiao Yuenu's expression was relaxed as she blinked mischievously.
She made such a judgment based on the fact that Warrior was the hardest to kill among those of the same rank. Since Alliance Leader and Dao Chief Renzong's clone were both third-grade martial artists, it was impossible to defeat Alliance Leader in a short time.
The battle in the depths of the Yue Clan Villa had already ended. The outcome was obvious.
Yang Cuixue said emotionally, "Alliance Leader just advanced to third-grade and defeated the Imperial Preceptor's clone. If this gets out, the reputation of the Wulin League and Alliance Leader will reach new heights."
"The Jianghu of the thirteen continents of Daibun should respect the Wulin League," another leader added.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled. They were no longer nervous, but they did not let their guard down. They slowly walked forward.
"Pfft …"
Tianji, who was far away, cursed. It was not because the Imperial Preceptor had lost, but because Cao Qingyang had advanced to third-grade and made a name for himself. This was not good news for the Imperial Court.
The stronger the forces in the Jianghu, the weaker the Imperial Court's control over the region.
It was fine in times of peace, but in times of chaos, these regions would definitely be the first to rebel.
After passing through collapsed houses and messy courtyards, they finally returned to the edge of the cold pond after walking for nearly a quarter of an hour. From afar, they saw the purple-robed figure standing proudly.
Someone among the Earth Sect's Demonic Dao sneered.
Just as Yang Cuixue and the others' faces lit up with joy, their expressions suddenly changed. They were filled with panic and fear. More than ten Faction Leaders and Faction Leaders rushed over and stood in front of Cao Qingyang.
Cao Qingyang was no longer breathing, heartbeat, or any other signs of life.
The Earth Sect's Daoist Daoist had sensed that Cao Qingyang's Nascent Divinity had perished in advance, which was why he sneered.
"Sect … Alliance Leader!"
The sect leader of Qianji Sect howled in grief. He had suffered a huge blow. This result was different from what he had expected.
Fu Jingmen of the Divine Fist Sect's knees went weak. He knelt in front of Cao Qingyang and hammered the ground with his right fist.
Xiao Yue Nu's body swayed. Her face was drained of blood. Under her veil, her rosy lips turned pale.
Xiao Yue Nu's delicate body swayed as her face slowly lost its color. Under the veil, her originally rosy lips also turned pale.
She stared blankly at Cao Qingyang, who had his eyes closed in silence. She felt lost and at a loss of what to do.
The pillar of the Wulin League had fallen. It had fallen at the hands of the Yue Clan Villa. The new Alliance Leader had not been decided yet because Cao Qingyang was still in his prime.
This meant that the sects in the Sword Province and the headquarters of the Wulin League would fall into chaos as they fought for the position of Alliance Leader.
"The Wulin League has been established for six hundred years, but there have been less than three cases where the Alliance Leader has fallen. What should we do? What should we do? "Yang Cuixue, the leader of the Black Pavilion, was trembling.
At that moment, the disciples and members of the Wulin League rushed over. They cried when they saw what had happened.
The disciples of the headquarters of the Wulin League knelt down and cried.
Not long ago, they were cheering for Cao Qingyang's promotion to the third rank. They thought that the glorious era of the Wulin League had arrived and their power and prestige would rise to a higher level.
How long had it been?
The situation had taken a turn for the worse. Alliance Leader Cao had fallen. The good news had turned into bad news.
"Tsk, tsk. Luo Yuheng is still as decisive and ruthless as ever." The white-haired Chilian Taoist priest said sarcastically.
Since Cao Qingyang was dead, they had nothing to fear.
The sects of the Wulin League dared to attack in anger. That was exactly what he wanted. The Lotus Taoist priest of the Earth Sect would wash the Sword Province in blood.
"Eh, the nine-colored lotus is gone." Tianji searched for a while but could not find any lotus seeds.
Tianshu transmitted his voice to the Taoists of the Earth Sect.
"The nine-colored lotus must have been taken away by the Imperial Preceptor. She came with a clone and will never return. The lotus must be in Xu Qi 'an's hands. Let's go kill Xu Qi' an and take the lotus seeds. "
After that, she bewitched the people of the Wulin League and said, "The Imperial Preceptor's clone was summoned by Xu Qi 'an. He knew that the Imperial Preceptor was a second rank expert, but he still summoned her. It was obvious that he wanted to kill Alliance Leader Cao.
"Poor Alliance Leader Cao. She praised him and helped him to promote to the fifth rank. But in the end, he repaid her kindness with ingratitude."
The people of the Wulin League looked at each other angrily and glared at her.
Tianshu snorted and continued to speak, facing everyone's gaze, "Don't worry.
"What? Did I say something wrong? Brothers of the Wulin League, ask yourselves. Did Xu Qi 'an repay kindness with ingratitude? Did Alliance Leader Cao die unjustly? "
The people of the Wulin League looked at each other.
"Shut up!" Yang Cuixue shouted angrily, "If you try to mislead us again, I'll cut you down with my sword."
Tianshu sneered, "Bring it on!"
King Huai's secret agents stepped forward and held onto the hilts of their weapons.
At this moment, the Chilian Taoist priest attacked without warning. A flying sword flew out of his sleeve and attacked the Jinlian Taoist priest who was sitting cross-legged in the distance.
Buzz!
The flying sword hit an invisible wall of air and bounced back, flying into the sky.
"Everyone, help us kill this old Taoist first. We'll settle the score with Xu Qi 'an later. What do you think?" The Chilian Taoist priest said loudly.
As he spoke, the Taoists of the Earth Sect kept attacking, controlling their flying swords to attack the wall of air. But no one could break through it.
The Demon Daoists of the Earth Sect knew Jinlian's true identity. Now, the Taoist leader was entangled with him in his consciousness. Actually, it was very easy to break this stalemate. They just needed to kill Jinlian's body.
That way, Jinlian's remnant soul would be like a rootless duckweed. They could use this opportunity to injure him or even kill him.
If they could rope the people of the Wulin League into their camp, it would be foolproof.
As for whether it would hurt the Taoist leader, that was not a concern. After all, the Taoist leader was only a clone.
Tianji immediately agreed, "That's right. There's no need to argue over such a small matter. Let's kill this old Taoist first. This all started because of him. Let him die with Alliance Leader Cao."
He cleverly did not mention dealing with Xu Qi 'an because it would definitely cause the people of the Wulin League to hesitate and even feel disgusted.
The straightforward Fu Jingmen cursed, "Bullsh * t. If it weren't for the Yue Family Villa, Alliance Leader wouldn't have died. I'll let this old Taoist die with Alliance Leader Cao. "
At this moment, the Jinlian Taoist priest opened his eyes and looked at the people of the Wulin League. "Alliance Leader Cao isn't dead yet."
Fu Jingmen stopped in his tracks. His eyes widened when he heard that. He suspected that he had heard wrongly. He said, "What did you say, stupid Taoist?"
Yang Cuixue, Xiao Yuenu, and the others shuddered.
"His primordial spirit has been extinguished. How can he still be alive? Old Taoist, don't lie to us, "a sect leader said in a deep voice. His voice was clearly trembling.
"Of course he can. I didn't lie to you," said the Jinlian Taoist priest.
He exploded during the crisis and barely suppressed the Black Lotus clone. He took the opportunity to persuade the people of the Wulin League to protect him for a while.
The Wulin League cared about Cao Qingyang's life the most.
Xiao Yuenu took a deep breath and said gently, "Taoist, please give us some pointers. If you can save Alliance Leader Cao, you'll be the great benefactor of the Wulin League."
Yang Cuixue bowed solemnly. "Taoist, please let bygones be bygones and save Alliance Leader Cao."
Fu Jingmen immediately changed his attitude. He stared at the Jinlian Taoist priest. "Old Taoist, no, Taoist, if you can save Alliance Leader Cao, I, Fu Jingmen, will protect you even if I have to risk my life."
The others quickly echoed and asked the Jinlian Taoist priest to save Cao Qingyang. Their words were extremely respectful.
The Jinlian Taoist priest shook his head. "You're not asking for me. You're asking for Xu Qi 'an."
Xiao Yuenu's beautiful eyes widened. She said in surprise, "Xu Yinluo?"
W-Why is this related to Xu Yinluo again? Even he's not here … The faction leaders and faction leaders looked at each other.
"Taoist, hurry up and tell us. I'm dying of anxiety. Why can Xu Yinluo save Alliance Leader Cao?" Fu Jingmen was curious and impatient.
The others stared at the Jinlian Taoist priest.
"Taoist Leader Renzong is decisive and never shows mercy to her enemies. However, I saw with my own eyes that she sucked Alliance Leader Cao's soul out and took him away …"
The Taoist priest of the Earth Faction also said that Taoist Leader Renzong is decisive and never shows mercy … Xiao Yuenu's eyes flashed when she heard this. She had a guess in her heart.
She said gently, "Is it because of Xu Yinluo?"
The Jinlian Taoist priest nodded. "I believe Xu Yinluo had already pleaded for Alliance Leader Cao before summoning Taoist Leader Renzong."
Fu Jingmen was impatient. He said impatiently, "Let's go and find Xu Yinluo."
However, Yang Cuixue stopped him. She glanced at the Earth Faction and Duke Huai's secret agent and said, "Xu Yinluo is chivalrous and noble. If Alliance Leader Cao's soul is in his hands, we don't have to be in a hurry."
The Qianji Sect Leader agreed. "That's right. Let's protect this Taoist priest for now."
The members of the Wulin League were immersed in the joy of regaining Alliance Leader Cao. However, they did not let down their guard. While guarding against the Earth Faction Taoist priest and Duke Huai's secret agent, they slowly approached the Jinlian Taoist priest.
At this moment, several auras approached. The members of the Heaven & Earth Society had returned.
"Damn it!"
Tianji cursed in his mind. He knew that it was impossible.
If there were only the members of the Wulin League, they could still fight with the Earth Faction Taoist priest. However, if Chu Yuanzhen, Li Miaozhen, and the others joined forces, they would only die if they fought to the death.
"Let's go!"
Tianshu was even more decisive. He led his subordinates and retreated in another direction.
The Earth Faction Taoists followed closely behind.
"Stop them!"
Someone from the Heaven & Earth Society and the Wulin League shouted at the same time.
Li Miaozhen stepped on her flying sword and took the lead. The black in her eyes faded and turned into pure Glaze. She opened her palm toward the fleeing crowd.
In an instant, Duke Huai's secret agent and the Earth Faction Taoist priest were bound by their own clothes. Their flying swords and sabers betrayed them and jumped out of their scabbards to stab their masters.
Fortunately, this attack was not too powerful. The ordinary secret agents and disciples of the Earth Faction were not weak either. Therefore, some of them were injured, but their lives were not in danger.
However, the effect that Li Miaozhen wanted had been achieved.
The female secret agent, Tianshu, tore her clothes and pants apart with her qi and forcefully broke free. She was only wearing a pair of underwear and a plain dudou. Her exposed waist was slender and showed faint lines of muscle.
Her thighs were tight, slender, and powerful.
She pounced toward Li Miaozhen like a female leopard, trying to get close to the Tenzō Shōnin and kill the Tenzō Shōnin.
Li Miaozhen would not let her get close to her so easily. She stepped on her flying sword and retreated. At the same time, she increased her altitude.
Tianshu did not continue to chase. She ignored the inertia of the charge and suddenly turned around and ran away.
Because she saw Xu Qi'an pouncing toward her. This guy had just advanced to the fifth rank and was very strong in close combat. If she was entangled by him, she would not be able to escape.
Tianshu did not know if it was an illusion, but she saw that this guy's eyes were shining, as if he could not wait to have a hand-to-hand fight with her in the dudou.
On the side of the Wulin League, Xiao Yuenu and the others were in hot pursuit. Tower Master Xiao of Wan Hua Lou was much more agile than Yang Cuixue and the others. He was the first to intercept the Earth Faction Demonic Taoist.
The Chilian Taoist priest met her with a flying sword with a whistling sound.
Xiao Yuenu slipped out a small silver fan from her sleeve and gently knocked the flying sword away. Suddenly, she let out a cry and blushed. Her legs became weak, and she felt a burst of heat in her lower abdomen.
The Chilian Taoist priest sneered and waved his sleeve, sending her flying.
Xiao Yuenu crashed into a firm embrace. She heard a strange voice, "Tower Master Xiao, are you okay?"
She raised her misty eyes and saw a handsome and masculine face. It was Xu Qi'an, who could not wait to have a hand-to-hand fight with Tianshu in the dudou.
Xiao Yuenu jumped out of his embrace as if she had been electrocuted. Her face was red as if she was drunk. She tried her best to keep her voice normal and said gently, "I'm fine. Thank you, Xu Yinluo."
The Earth Faction Demonic Taoist priest's method of corrupting people's hearts and stirring up their desires is very powerful … Xu Qi'an's heart trembled. As a man who had been through many things, he could see that Tower Master Xiao was acting strangely.
If that Chilian sword had hit me just now, I would have twisted my waist slightly, and there would be no one within thirty thousand kilometers … he thought as he continued to lead his men in pursuit.
Just as they left the Yue Clan Villa, they saw the Earth Faction Daoist take Duke Huai's secret agent and fly into the sky on their swords.
Twang!
The sound of a bowstring was clear and powerful. An expert from the Wulin League who was skilled in archery decisively appeared and shot two flying swords and four disciples. When he drew his bow for the third time, the flying altitude of the Earth Faction disciples had already exceeded the range of his bow and arrow.
The Earth Faction Daoist could fly on swords, but on his side, only Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen could fly. With their strength, it was obvious that they would not be able to keep everyone from the Earth Faction.
Even though his side had more experts than the other side, the Wulin League was full of Warrior … Xu Qi'an narrowed his eyes as he looked into the sky and thought to himself:
"It's not a bad idea to let them return to the capital dejectedly and anger the Yuanjing Emperor," Xu Qi'an thought with a cold smile.
"Xu Yinluo …"
Xiao Yuenu's gentle voice pulled him back to reality. Looking at the pearl of the Sword Province, Xu Qi'an nodded and said, "Alliance Chief Cao's soul is with me. I will send it back now."
The faces of the Wulin League members were filled with anticipation.
"Meow …"
An orange cat passed through the ruins and stopped at a distance, staring at them with its green eyes.
It was unclear if this cat was lucky enough to survive, or if it had just returned from outside and found its home in ruins.
Xu Qi'an walked in front of Cao Qingyang, under the expectant gazes of the Wulin League members, he opened the sachet, released Cao Qingyang's soul, and guided it back into his body.
At this time, a vortex appeared between the eyebrows of the Jinlian Taoist priest. A soul covered in golden light and black fog shot out, attempting to take over Cao Qingyang's body.
The change was too fast, completely out of everyone's expectations. Furthermore, Warrior couldn't stop the Daoist's Yin God from taking over his body, so he lacked an effective means of attack.
Everyone's expression changed.
"Meow …"
The orange cat screeched, arched his back, and bared his teeth at the soul covered in golden light and black fog.
Cats were very sensitive to otherworldly items.
As soon as the cat screeched, the soul clearly paused, then, as if by instinct, changed direction and crashed into the orange cat's body.
