Under a huge withered tree, an old woman was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. Around her were pale white skulls. These bones were arranged in the shape of a flower, and the old woman was in the middle of the 'flower'. Some strange white gas floated out from the bones and continuously seeped into the old woman's body.
A bit of sweat appeared on the old woman's face, and her breathing became rapid. However, one could see that her expression was abnormally relaxed, and there was a strange expression of reluctance to part with this feeling, as if she was experiencing something painful and happy at the same time.
"Master!"
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind, followed by a low voice.
The Suicide Witch slowly opened her sunken old eyes, and her bark-like old face congealed with waves of unhappiness. She said coldly, "Zi Du, didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I'm cultivating? Did you forget what I said? "
When the person heard this, he hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "How could Zi Du dare to forget Master's teachings? However, this matter is too urgent, so Zi Du has no choice but to disturb Master. "
"Hmph, speak, what's the matter?" The old woman said coldly.
"Master, just now, a disciple of the inner tree reported that Junior Brother Xie was killed outside the valley. Only six of the eleven disciples from our sect returned. Right now, the person who killed our disciples might still be at the entrance of the valley. "
Mu Zidu said respectfully.
When these words fell to the ground, the old woman's face immediately turned cold.
"What did you say? Who was killed? "
"It's the inner tree disciple Xie Bingkun and the others." Mu Zidu said, "Because recently, our Suicide Valley has sent many disciples out of the valley to do some work, but we have only seen people coming out and not people coming in. Moreover, it has been nearly half a month, and we have not received any news from the outside world, so I suspect that someone is playing tricks. Perhaps he deliberately sealed off the connection between our Suicide Valley and the outside world, so he sent Xie Bingkun and the others to investigate the situation outside the valley. I didn't expect the other party to be so arrogant, and actually set up an ambush at the entrance of the valley.
"How strong is the other party? How many people are there? "
The old woman asked calmly.
"According to the six people who came back, the other party is only one person, and his strength is very powerful."
"Oh?"
The old woman's dim yellow eyes suddenly widened as she glanced at Mu Zidu. After a moment of silence, she waved her hand and said, "Call those six people over."
"Yes, Master!"
Mu Zidu immediately went down and summoned the six people.
The six of them nervously walked into the old shaman's cultivation area. When they saw the old shaman sitting in front of the withered tree, the six of them hurriedly knelt down respectfully and loudly called out, "Greetings, Valley Master."
"Yes."
Suicide Witch nodded her head, slightly opened her eyes, swept her gaze across the six of them, and asked: "Who is that person? How was his cultivation? Why are you going against my Suicide Valley? Do you know?? "
"That person … That person was wearing a hood, so we couldn't see his face clearly …"
"Also … also … he has a shielding magic treasure on him. We can't see through his cultivation level …"
"What he's doing here, we … we're not too sure either …"
Three of the six said in a trembling voice.
"Oh?" The old witch opened her eyes completely and asked in a low voice, "Then why did six of you die and six of you live? Why did he let you in? "
"Disciple … Disciple doesn't know either. He just told the disciples to return to the valley … Disciple … Disciple came back …" One of them said with a trembling voice.
The old witch stared at that person for a while, and a strange light flashed across her dim yellow eyes. Then, she turned to look at the others and asked, "Is that so?"
"It's like this."
The others hurriedly said, not daring to hesitate at all.
However, in the next second, a green light spun out like an air blade, spreading in all directions. In almost an instant, it swallowed the six disciples of the Suicide Valley and wrapped their corpses tightly. The green light stayed on their bodies for about three breaths of time before dissipating. However, the six corpses had already turned into six sets of white bones and fell to the ground. Even their souls had disappeared without a trace.
"For no reason, why would he let you come back? No matter what the reason is, you must die! I will not allow there to be traitors in the Suicide Valley! "
The Suicide Witch coldly snorted, then suddenly stood up, waved her withered hand, and shouted at the calm Mu Zidu, "Zidu, follow me to the entrance of the valley to meet someone!"
"Yes, Master!"
Mu Zidu hurriedly said.
The Suicide Witch's movements were extremely fast. She directly flashed out of the withered tree altar and ran out of the Suicide Valley.
She was arrogant. Ever since the Suicide Valley was founded, she had never encountered such a thing. Someone had blocked her door, and the other party was only one person. If she didn't know how to deal with him, where would the face of the Suicide Valley go in the future?
As the Suicide Witch rushed out, the eldest disciple, Mu Zidu, also planned to inform the elites of the Suicide Valley to support the Suicide Witch. However, when the old witch found out, she immediately stopped him.
"It's just one person, is there a need to make such a big fuss? What's more, I don't plan to. You can go later. If you can't deal with it, I will take action. If even I can't deal with it, no matter how many people come, it will be useless. "
The Suicide Witch said, but she was more worried that the other party might have some traps. If there were too many people, it would not be easy to escape. At least for herself, self-protection was enough.
Very quickly, the old witch, Mu Zidu, and a few other people from the Suicide Valley came out of the blood formation. The Suicide Witch flew straight into the air, her dim yellow eyes sweeping the outside of the valley.
However, the scene outside the valley shocked her.
Outside the valley, more than a thousand people had appeared. These people were divided into small groups and gathered together. Moreover, each group of people had a symbol on their back or on their body that represented their identity.
Qing Cai Chamber of Commerce.
Dong Guang Chamber of Commerce.
Yu Wanxin Auction House.
Red Road Chamber of Commerce …
"These are people from the Chamber of Commerce?"
The Suicide Witch was slightly stunned.
"Old Witch, you've finally appeared!"
At this moment, a fat man with a round body walked out from among the people from the Chamber of Commerce. He stared at the old witch and shouted, "Today, either you die or I die!"
"What is it? You want to rebel against me? "
The Suicide Witch's old face turned cold as she spoke in a deep voice.
"You want to force us to our deaths. If we don't rebel against you, how can we survive?"
Another president of a small Chamber of Commerce shouted.
"Pay half of the month's profits as a tribute every month! You're simply asking for our lives! Suicide Witch, since you're treating us like this, why don't we stand up and resist you? We are also people, not fish that you can slaughter! "
"You devil!"
"The reason why we're here today is all because of you. Suicide Witch, come to your senses!"
"Don't be afraid of this person. Everyone, join forces and fight her!"
"Why should we be afraid of her?"
The roars continued to ring out. These people who had been dealing with goods and profound coins for many years had finally found the pride and self-esteem that Spirit Cultivators should have. All of this had been revived today.
The continuous roars caused the old witch's ice-cold face to freeze. She frowned and scanned her surroundings with her turbid eyes. Her heart was filled with doubt.
From the words of these people, she could tell that something was amiss. Pay half of the month's profits as a tribute every month. What did this mean? Could it be that every Chamber of Commerce had to pay half of the profits to the Suicide Valley as a tribute every month? When had she given such an order?
Could it be that she had been framed?
The Suicide Witch secretly snorted, and suddenly understood the cause and effect of the matter.
First, she sent people to spread rumors and used the identity of the Suicide Valley to force all the Chamber of Commerce to release this news, causing them to have no choice but to resist. Then, she used her own methods to seal off the communication between the Suicide Valley and the outside world, causing the Suicide Valley to be unable to find out about this matter in time, and even more so, unable to clarify this matter in time, causing this contradiction to subside!
It seemed that all of this had been carefully planned by someone.
"Don't cause trouble here. What 'pay half of the month's profits as a tribute'? I never gave this order at all. Someone must have deliberately framed me and my Suicide Valley. Hurry up and disperse. The tribute will still be the same as before. I will not increase the amount of tribute!"
The Suicide Witch said solemnly.
However …
This was supposed to be a clear statement, but it was rebutted by another statement that suddenly popped up from the crowd …
"Everyone, don't believe in the Suicide Witch. Who is she? She is just a despicable and shameless villain. Lies are easy for her. If everyone believes her words today and scatters, then in the future, the Suicide Witch will definitely secretly attack everyone and destroy everyone one by one. If that happens, then everything will be too late! "
As soon as she said this, many people nodded in agreement.
The Suicide Witch's reputation was not good. How many people were willing to believe her at this time? Moreover, the real reason why everyone was gathered here at this moment was not because of the sudden increase in the amount of tribute. In the end, it was because of the oppression of the various Chamber of Commerce by the Suicide Valley.
Everyone had had enough, and they didn't want the cultivation coins that they had painstakingly earned to fall into the hands of others for no reason. Everyone urgently wanted to solve the problem of the Suicide Valley, and today, more than a hundred Chamber of Commerce were gathered here. This was an opportunity. In the past, no resistance had ever been as large as today.
Thus, no matter how much the Suicide Witch said today, no one would leave just like that.
Because everyone had already made up their minds. Today, they swore to destroy the Suicide Witch and regain their freedom!
Seeing the gazes of these people, the Suicide Witch's expression became even more unsightly.
She sensed the fighting spirit in these people's eyes.
It was the eruption of resentment that had been accumulated for a long time. It was extremely terrifying!
