Blood God Palace, Palace Lord's throne.
A group of servants wearing Tianji Peak uniforms surrounded the Palace Lord's throne and were on high alert. Tianji Peak Lord Sheng Zhiyu stood in front of the throne with his eyes slightly closed.
"How is it?" After a while, Sheng Zhiyu opened his eyes and asked.
"Peak Lord, we have used a large amount of stones to seal the secret path behind the throne and poured in sand. Even a rat wouldn't be able to crawl out. "A Tianji Peak elder said.
"Very good." Sheng Zhiyu nodded slightly.
The Tianji Peak Elder said, "I didn't expect the rumored secret path entrance to the Martial Storehouse to be behind the Palace Lord's throne. It is a pity to seal the secret path like this. "
Sheng Zhiyu said lightly, "There is more than one secret path entrance. According to Palace Lord Gu, there is a water valve in the Heart Cleansing Pond that can also lead to the Martial Storehouse secret path. The Righteous Faction hypocrites sneaked in through the Heart Cleansing Pond entrance. "
"Then what about the Heart Cleansing Pond entrance?" The Tianji Peak Elder was shocked.
"Don't worry. The Heart Cleansing Pond has been poisoned by Poisonous Guanyin and has become a poisonous pond. If anyone dives into the pool, it won't be long before their bones and flesh dissolve and they die an unnatural death. "
Sheng Zhiyu stroked his beard and said, "Now, the righteous hypocrites hiding in the secret passage, as well as the rebels under Qin Hui, are like rats in a cage. They can't come out no matter what and will only starve to death inside. Of course, after repelling the invasion of the seven Righteous Faction sects, we can also open the seal from the outside and properly entertain these uninvited guests. "
That Tianji Peak elder heavily nodded his head: "Although Qin Hui is dead, his influence is endless. The Black Guards under his command actually took the initiative to collude with the Seven Righteous Sects, wanting to attack from the inside and destroy the foundation of the Shen Palace. Fortunately, Palace Lord Gu is meticulous and has already seen through their evil plan. "
Sheng Zhiyu smiled, "Not only that, Palace Lord Gu also beat them at their own game. He burned firewood in the Sword Discourse Cliff and pretended that the Righteous Faction had successfully infiltrated. He used this to lead the main force of the seven Righteous Faction sects to the poison array set up by Poisonous Guanyin. This time, the seven Righteous Faction sects are in big trouble. Who knows how many casualties there will be. Fast, fast! "
…
Looking at the arrows shooting out, the experts of the seven Righteous sects in chaos, Gu Yulian stood on the mountain ridge, her beautiful face not showing the slightest change in expression.
A few of the Division Leaders who had just fought gathered around Gu Yulian.
"Palace Master's ingenious plan to lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory is truly ingenious! The seven righteous sects will definitely be annihilated this time. "Lingyun Peak Master Ji Ming said.
Ling Yun Peak had been attacked by the seven Righteous sects. Although the experts had retreated in time, there had still been some casualties. Moreover, many of the pavilions and towers of Ling Yun Peak had been burned down. As a peak master, Ji Ming naturally hated the seven righteous sects to the bone.
Gu Yulian glanced at him. "The White Commander deserves the most credit for discovering the conspiracy of the seven righteous sects this time. If it weren't for his reminder, I wouldn't have thought that the seven righteous sects would follow Qin Hui's remnants and infiltrate the secret passage. Then, it would be even more impossible for us to beat them at their own game. Where is he? "
"Reporting to the Palace Lord, the White Commander is on his way."
Ji Ming Jue said with a smile. "Speaking of which, the White Commander's battle just now was really in the limelight. I don't know if it was with the help of the mechanism or his own ability, but he was actually able to display a grand martial art concept and burn three righteous elders into ashes. With such strength, it's no wonder that he could kill the traitor Qin Hui. "
Ji Ming praised. "The White Commander is young, but his martial arts and wisdom are all outstanding. It's really a great fortune to have him join the Blood God Palace. "
Although Kang Qin, Ying Jianfan and the other Division Leaders were somewhat ashamed of Ji Ming's "licking dog" behavior, what Ji Ming said was basically true, so they couldn't refute.
Bai Xiaowen came to Gu Yulian's side and saluted. Gu Yulian smiled gently. "You came at the right time. Let's see the miserable end of these righteous hypocrites. They will definitely not dare to covet the Blood God Palace again."
At this time, in the stone formation of the Sword-cleansing Valley, poisonous fog filled the air and rows of broken arrows shot out. Those elite righteous disciples couldn't bear it at all. They were dead and injured and let out waves of miserable cries. The elders with profound skills and the leaders of various sects could barely resist. At the same time, they rushed left and right in the smoke and dust, trying to rush out of the range of the poisonous formation.
However, the originally messy stone formation on the ground hid a mystery. It was the Nine Palaces Formation set up by the Tianji Peak Master, Sheng Zhiyu, which had the ability to confuse the five senses. If there was no interference, the Nine Palaces Formation wouldn't be enough to trap so many masters. But now, under the poisonous fog, arrows, smoke, and other dangers, the stone formation's confusing effect was fully played. The righteous masters were like headless flies for a while, but they couldn't rush out.
"Will this plan be able to completely annihilate the invading martial arts experts?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
The Division Leaders next to him looked sideways. This young man from the righteous Duanshui Villa was even more ruthless than them. But considering the blood feud between him and the Boundless Sword Sect, it was normal for his views to be extreme.
Gu Yulian shook her head and said, "It's very difficult. There are many righteous masters. Just now, they were just in a mess. The poison formation and stone formation can't trap them for a long time. You should know that there are also capable people among them. At this time, they must be calculating the position of the formation and distributing the antidote … "
Before Gu Yulian's voice had even faded, she saw the Righteous Faction's martial art masters disorderly reorganizing their formation, with several Sect Leader level martial art masters as the vanguard, turning left, turning right, they actually charged to the edge of the stone array. The broken arrows shot from the side were flicked by the sleeves of these masters and lost their power, falling to the ground with the wind.
Xie Qingrong, the Kunlun Sect Leader, was the first to rush out of the formation. His face was still a little green, obviously still poisoned. After rushing out of the range of the poison formation, he gasped for breath and let out a long howl.
The clear howl provided the location for the other people trapped in the stone formation. Suddenly, there were people who stumbled out. Many of them had arrows stuck in their bodies and were seriously injured.
"We've fallen into the trap of the demons of the Blood God Palace. Retreat quickly!" Xie Qingrong didn't care about his face and shouted loudly. At the same time, he protected a group of masters of the Kunlun Sect and ran wildly in the direction of the valley entrance.
Behind them, the Infinite Sword Sect, the Huijian Sect and other sects also fled.
However, of the hundreds of righteous masters who entered the poison formation, less than a third of them escaped. More than two hundred Righteous Faction experts, either died from poison or arrows. Most of them were Elite Disciples, but there were also quite a few Elders who were Leader Rank.
To put it bluntly, it was because the warriors of the Sword Song World had too little health and were all fragile. Usually, relying on their high agility and lightness skills to dodge, they could pass through thousands of flowers without a single leaf touching them. But in the face of a neat military formation and rows of broken arrows, it was difficult to escape unscathed, not to mention the terrible interference of the poison formation.
Bai Xiaowen secretly guessed that this was probably the reason why martial arts masters were afraid of being besieged by an army in wuxia novels. Not to mention the intensive long-range attacks of thousands of arrows, even in close combat, there were seven or eight soldiers surrounding you. Seven or eight swords slashing at you at the same time, it was not easy to dodge and block. Even if you killed a few soldiers, there would be more to fill in. Even if you were a master, if you did not think of a way to break out, you would be exhausted to death.
Since Gu Yulian knew that the poison formation and the stone formation would not be able to trap the righteous masters for too long, she naturally had a backup plan.
Poisonous Guanyin Ji Mingjue played the snake flute. Immediately, a large number of poisonous snakes poured in from the valley entrance, forming a snake formation and surging towards the fleeing righteous masters.
Xie Qingrong, the head of the Kunlun Sect, paled. At this time, the remaining poison in the righteous masters' bodies had not been cleared. They could only move because of their profound skills and the antidote pills given by the head of the Huijian Sect, Wang Chen Shitai, temporarily suppressed the poison. Once they used their full strength, the poison would easily flare up. If they were entangled by the snake formation, none of them would be able to escape.
"Scatter and break out! Let's save as many as we can! "
Xie Qingrong shouted loudly. His sword slashed out in circles, killing all the poisonous snakes in his path. He cleared out a path and flew away. The head of the Boundless Sword Sect, Zuo Yunxuan, also followed suit. The righteous masters were like exploding fireworks, wildly flying in all directions.
Although the snake formation commanded by Ji Mingjue was large in number, it was unable to stop so many people from breaking out at the same time. If the righteous masters were gathered together, they would be able to control the poisonous snakes to surround and attack. But now that everyone had scattered, it would be difficult to surround them again.
Gu Yulian lightly waved her hand. The crossbowmen on both sides of the mountain ran along the ridges of the mountain. After entering the range, they once again shot out a rain of arrows, attacking indiscriminately along with the group of poisonous snakes.
Ji Mingjue exclaimed, "Aiya! My snakes."
Gu Yulian smiled, "After this, I'll compensate you."
Ji Mingjue's eyes were charming, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, "I'll remember this. Head Palace Master Gu will compensate me well."
Bai Xiaowen felt a chill at the back of his neck. There was probably something fishy between Gu Yulian and Ji Mingjue.
Thinking about it, when the other six division leaders didn't support Gu Yulian, Ji Mingjue was the first to side with Gu Yulian. He even didn't hesitate to set up poison at the Sword Discourse Cliff in advance, offending the other six division leaders! Rather than saying it was loyalty, it was better to say it was love.
Combined with the fact that Gu Yulian was indifferent to his outstanding beauty, and the strange situation where her favorability rose at a snail's pace, Bai Xiaowen felt that there was something fishy. Could it be that Gu Yulian didn't like men, but women? Then her feelings for Concubine Yin were probably not as simple as a disciple's admiration for her master.
Bai Xiaowen was terrified. It seemed that he had to let Li Shuyi and Qiao Rui stay further away from Gu Yulian … But this had nothing to do with him. He raised his Desert Eagle and also participated in the long-range attacks. He didn't need treasure chests. As long as he contributed a little, he would receive soul essences. How profitable was that?
This scene was seen by the other division leaders and Gu Yulian. They were all secretly shocked by Bai Xiaowen's bloodthirsty nature. However, the evil path's martial arts world was already used to killing. In addition to Bai Xiaowen's personal blood feud, no one criticized him.
The righteous path's experts scattered and broke through the encirclement. In the end, only twenty or so people managed to escape. It could be said that they had suffered a great loss.
The remaining righteous path experts trapped in the snake formation were either injured or poisoned. They could only stay where they were and wait for death.
Gu Zhen was one of them. He was hit by Bai Xiaowen's giant snake. He suffered severe burns and all his attributes were halved. He was unable to break through the encirclement.
Bai Xiaowen saw this and his heart stirred. He said to Ji Mingjue, "That Gu Zhen has a blood feud with me. I must kill him with my own hands. I'll have to trouble Valley Master Ji to spare his life. "
Ji Mingjue naturally didn't refuse. The sound of his flute changed and the snake formation went around Gu Zhen to attack the others.
The battle ended and the crossbowmen stopped their attacks.
Bai Xiaowen led his three teammates through the snake formation and walked in front of Gu Zhen.
Gu Zhen's current appearance was very miserable. His whole body was like charcoal and his hair was all burned away. Giant snake? The residual heat of the flames was still wreaking havoc in his body.
In addition, he was also poisoned. There were two crossbow bolts in his back and his life points had already fallen to the bottom.
"Old man, you also have a day like this." Bai Xiaowen automatically entered the role of the Broken Water Manor's young master and said coldly.
When Gu Zhen saw Bai Xiaowen, he first trembled. He knew that Bai Xiaowen wouldn't let him go. He wanted to die a bit more bravely, but he was also a bit timid.
Seeing Bai Xiaowen raise the muzzle (handheld crossbow) and aim it at his forehead, Gu Zhen panicked and finally shouted, "Young Master Bai, all of this has nothing to do with me. It was all ordered by Senior Brother Sect Master!"
"Zuo Yunxuan? He asked you to massacre Broken Water Manor? "Bai Xiaowen frowned and realized that things weren't simple.
"Yes, this is the Sect Master's secret order brought by He Xiyuan. Senior Brother Zhangsun and I could only follow it. The reason is that Senior Brother Sect Master … Zuo Yunxuan saw the handwritten letter left by the 34th Sect Master and was very curious about He Xiyuan's Broken Water Sword Intent. He secretly ordered us to assist He Xiyuan to obtain the Broken Water Sword Manual and the cultivation method … "Gu Zhen said with a trembling voice.
Bai Xiaowen said coldly, "Even so, you are an accomplice and deserve to die."
With a bang, a gunshot that only the awakened could hear, Gu Zhen was shot between his eyebrows. His life points were emptied and he fell to the ground dead. A golden treasure chest also condensed on his corpse. It was an unexpected surprise.
In fact, it was normal for Gu Zhen to drop a treasure chest. After all, he was the Giant Snake Bai Xiaowen. He only entered a state of burn when he hit. Bai Xiaowen's contribution to the kill was very high. However, because the poison array and the crossbowmen also participated in the damage output, the final score wasn't high.
The moment Gu Zhen died, Bai Xiaowen and the other three received a notification from the Spiritual World's rules.
