In the Thunder Mountain of the Immortal Realm.
The news of Yan Li's escape from the Five Elements Mountain spread throughout the Five Elements Court in an instant. Disciples from all the courtyards rushed out, intending to fight for a good reputation in this wave of punishing spies.
Yuan Shulin was a new genius disciple of the Wood Courtyard of the Five Elements Court. At the age of 20, he had mastered the most difficult Golden Fire Heavenly Thunder of the Five Elements Thunder Method and mastered the Golden Thunder Flame Palm. He was almost as famous as the chief disciple and was now ranked in the top 10 of the Heavenly List. People called him the Thunder Beast in Jianghu because he was as fierce as a beast with thunder when he used the Golden Thunder Flame Palm. His master was Xiang Youshan, who was fighting with Su Xiaojian.
Yuan Shulin was young, but he looked very mature. He looked like he was in his early thirties, which was very similar to Xiang Youshan's calm style. Being famous at a young age did not bring him much pride. His pair of exceptionally sharp eyes flashed with a rare light of contemplation. This was the calmness that only a person who had carried a great deal of experience could have.
"Who went to inform the Eldest Senior Brother?"
Hearing Yuan Shulin's question, the disciples of the Wood Courtyard looked at each other. One of the older disciples stood out and said, "The Eldest Senior Brother suddenly went into closed-door cultivation. Maybe he comprehended something in the duel with Yan Shifang. If we inform him now, I'm afraid his cultivation will be interrupted."
"That's right!" Another disciple hurriedly echoed, "The four courtyards of Metal, Fire, Water, and Earth have all been dispatched. Yan Shifang's Taoist root was destroyed by the Headmaster, so he can't fight back. If we don't take this opportunity to make a contribution, they will beat us to him again."
The number of disciples of the Wood Courtyard was not eye-catching. Most of them had been transferred to the front line, so there were only about 3,000 of them. But it was also relatively speaking. These three thousand disciples filled the small square in front of the Wood Word Courtyard. Hearing this, they all agreed, and the square suddenly became noisy.
"Shut up!" Yuan Shulin shouted, and the square immediately quieted down, showing an extraordinary majesty.
Someone squeezed out of the class. It was a middle-aged man who looked to be about 37 or 38 years old. He had a short beard under his chin, and he smiled as he said, "Didn't you guys hear? That Yan Shifang came down from the Five Elements Mountain and killed over a hundred people from the same sect. He didn't look like his Dao foundation was destroyed at all. Those who rushed over have all lost their lives. Now, all the academies are preparing to take their time to think about it. "
Her name was Zhao Xinrong, a disciple of the Wood House. She was the disciple with the highest calculation ability in the entire Five Elements Court.
In the Wood House, his prestige was even higher than that of the genius disciple, Yuan Shulin.
Hearing him speak, everyone listened carefully. When they finished listening, they broke out in cold sweat. "That Yan Shifang is from the devil race, he is actually so violent!"
Zhao Xinrong was supposed to contribute his wisdom at the frontline, but he returned to the sect because of some private matters. Coincidentally, he was caught in this big show, so he naturally couldn't leave.
Zhao Xinrong continued, "Su Xiaojian is still making trouble on the Five Elements Mountain. His destructive power is obvious to all. No matter what Cangjian Peak will do in the future, now is a critical moment. Don't make a fuss. Someone go and call Eldest Brother here. In addition, those who testified against Yan Shifang are also invited here."
The order was quickly carried out. Liu Tang, who was in seclusion, was summoned to the Wood House. Along with him were the "partners" who had gone through thick and thin with Yan Li.
After entering the branch hall of the Wood House, everyone took their seats. Liu Tang was at the top, and below him was Zhao Xinrong, followed by Yuan Shulin, and then those who testified against Yan Li.
Liu Tang's eyes glanced back and forth at these people vaguely, trying to determine their sincerity. He paid special attention to a woman, a peerless beauty — Ji Zhiyuan, the top of the List of Beauties. In his impression, this woman seemed to have some emotional entanglement with Yan Shifang. He didn't want to know the details, but he wanted to figure out one thing, and that was this woman's standpoint.
"Miss Zhiyuan, this is your first time in the Five Elements Court, right?" He glanced at Ji Zhiyuan from the corner of his eye. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he could not show even the slightest bit of his admiration for Ji Zhiyuan. If the First Disciple of the Five Elements Court lost his composure because of a woman, it would be very unbecoming of him.
"Yes," Ji Zhiyuan said.
Liu Tang said, "Why don't I send someone to show you around?"
"Why?" Ji Zhiyuan said.
Zhao Xinrong rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Miss Zhiyuan, there's no need to trouble you with the matter of capturing Yan Shifang. It's just that he's very powerful, and we need the help of an expert to ensure that nothing goes wrong. I've long heard that Miss Zhiyuan and Yan Shifang seem to have a special relationship. I'm afraid that if you go easy on him, you'll make things very difficult for us. "
"I won't," Ji Zhiyuan said.
"You won't?" Liu Tang said.
Ji Zhiyuan said.
"I'm not here because of my standpoint. If I can't get over it, I'll act on my own. "
"That's not it." Liu Tang's eyes flickered. He thought to himself, 'If I let her act on her own, I don't know what she'll do. It's better to keep her by my side and supervise her at all times.' With that in mind, he said, "Don't doubt the people you use. I believe that Miss Zhiyuan is sincere. Next, let's decide on a plan. Does anyone have a plan? "
Zhao Xinrong cupped his hands. "Chief judge, I have a plan."
"Senior Brother Zhao, please speak." Liu Tang didn't dare to be negligent.
Zhao Xinrong snapped her fingers and shouted as if she was chanting a spell, "Summon the water mirror!" The panicked voice penetrated the main hall. The Five Elements Formation that was everywhere immediately sensed it. A water-colored aura condensed in the air in the main hall and quickly formed a mirror. Inside the mirror was the figure of Yan Li, who was running down the mountain.
This supernatural power was called the "Eye of Truth". It used a powerful cultivation to drive the Five Elements Formation and create a water mirror projection. As long as one was inside the Five Elements Formation, one wouldn't be able to escape the tracking of the Eye of Truth.
"Yan Shifang's Taoist foundation was destroyed, but he was still able to kill our disciples with his Sword Qi. This means that his Sword Dao cultivation has reached the state of perfection. That Sword Qi isn't an ordinary Sword Qi, and it doesn't seem to be the inheritance of Cangjian Peak either. Everyone, you must be careful. " Zhao Xinrong first gave a warning before explaining the plan. "If we want to capture Yan Shifang alive, we must reduce our losses. Otherwise, the price will exceed our expectations. There's a hunting ground at the foot of the mountain. It's inaccessible and full of Star Fallen Beasts. You just need to force him into the hunting ground and consume his energy. When he's exhausted, we can work together to capture him. That's enough to ensure that nothing goes wrong. "
Liu Tang nodded and waved his hand. "Pass down my order. Except for the disciples of the Wood Word House, everyone else is to block the road outside the hunting ground. We must not let Yan Shifang escape!"
"No." Zhao Xinrong hurriedly said.
"Why?" Liu Tang asked.
The disciples of the Wood Word House and Yuan Shulin also looked at Zhao Xinrong in confusion.
Zhao Xinrong said, "Looking at Yan Shifang's history of fame, we can see that he is cunning, intelligent, sensitive and paranoid. If we block the road, he will definitely notice it. If we want to force him into the hunting ground, we can only let nature take its course."
"How to let nature take its course?" Liu Tang said.
Zhao Xinrong smiled mysteriously. "I have my own plan. Lead disciple and everyone can just follow it."
