The night was dark and the moonlight shone like water.
About fifteen miles away from Chong Ming Town, twenty middle-aged men in purple robes slowly drifted into a pine forest. They were like twenty shadows, their footsteps were soundless, and they drifted into the town like ghosts.
Although they were not even a hundred years old, their cultivation level was higher than the average hundred-year-old master.
The group sat in a circle on an open space. The moonlight shone through the branches and their bodies were covered in mottled shadows.
"Brother Lu, should we attack Chong Ming Town and attack the High Duke's Public House?" someone asked softly.
"Yes!" The middle-aged man in purple robes, Lu Wuji, who was sitting in the middle, nodded slowly and scoffed. "There's no need for any tricks or schemes. We'll just destroy them!"
"Because of Chu Li, the Yi Public House's strength has improved tremendously in recent years. We have to be careful. When Chu Li returns, it's inevitable that he'll gather some masters to help," someone said softly.
Lu Wuji sneered. "What's there to be cautious about? Not everyone is Chu Li!"
"That's true." Someone nodded and smiled. "Unless he asks the masters from the Tempest Temple. However, I heard that the Tempest Temple doesn't have a good relationship with Chu Li. They won't help him."
"I'm guessing that he's hiding in Fairy's Capital now that he knows that we're after him! He's certain that we won't dare to go to Fairy's Capital."
The group remained silent.
Although they were powerful, they really did not want to go to Fairy's Capital to kill people.
The Fu Dynasty was extremely powerful and looked down on the Ji Dynasty. However, the Enlightened Masters were an exception. The Grandmasters from any country were no match for the Enlightened Masters. Fairy's Capital was guarded by the Enlightened Masters. They could go to Fairy's Capital but they could not kill people there. Otherwise, the Enlightened Masters would not show mercy just because they were from the Fu Dynasty's martial arts world.
"Let's see if he still comes after we destroy the Yi Public House!" Lu Wuji sneered. "If he's really a cold-blooded and heartless person, we'll admit defeat!"
Another scoffed. "He'll stay in Fairy's Capital for the rest of his life. He'll become a useless person."
"If that's the case, there's nothing we can do." Lu Wuji frowned.
A rugged middle-aged man scoffed. "Brother Lu, if that's the case, I'll bring a group of people to Fairy's Capital and kill him no matter what!"
"Yes! Even if we die, we have to kill him. "Someone nodded in agreement." Count me in when the time comes. "
"I don't think there's a need for us. Elder Chen and the others will take action."
Some of the elders in the sect had reached the end of their lifespans and were barely holding on. They would soon ascend to the Grandmaster's Boundary and these people would naturally deal with Chu Li, even if they were killed by an Enlightened Master in the Fairy's Capital.
"It doesn't matter if we kill Chu Li or not, we must destroy the Yi Public House first!" Lu Wuji said in a low voice. "Our disciples can't die in vain. We must bury the Yi Public House with them!"
"Senior Brother Lu, are we going to kill everyone after we enter?"
"That's right, no one will be spared!" Lu Wuji said coldly, "We won't even let a three-year-old go. We must let the world know the consequences of provoking the Sword Moon Sect. We must let the people of the Ji Dynasty fear us even more!"
"Yes." Everyone replied in a deep voice.
They had long passed the age of being hot-blooded and pure. There was no such thing as justice, only the benefits of the sect. As long as it was for the sect, they would not hesitate to commit murder or arson. Those who offended the sect, no matter how righteous they were, had to be killed.
"What a vicious heart!" Suddenly, a cold laugh rang out.
"Who is it?!"
Everyone hurriedly stood up and pressed their swords against each other.
"Chu Li!" Lu Wuji shouted. "How dare you come!"
Chu Li's voice seemed to come from all directions. "This will be the place where all of you will die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt the scene in front of them suddenly change. It was no longer a forest, but a mountain peak. It was as if they were standing on top of the mountain peak. Their surroundings were empty and there were only deep valleys. Everywhere they looked, there were mountains and dense forests.
"Oh no, it's a formation!" Everyone exclaimed.
They knew the power of a formation the best. What was even more strange was how did Chu Li manage to set up a formation without them knowing? They were not deaf or blind. If Chu Li really came close, they would definitely be able to sense it.
"Be careful, he won't dare to come over!" Lu Wuji said in a deep voice.
Although he said that, his heart sank. He did not expect to be ambushed by Chu Li. For a Grandmaster, this was really unusual. Logically, if there was an ambush here, they would definitely have a sense of danger and avoid it in advance.
Chu Li's ability to hide from their instincts was the scariest and the most threatening.
Chu Li's voice was heard again. "If you can't break the formation, then starve to death. Forgive me for not keeping you company. Goodbye!"
"Chu Li!" Lu Wuji shouted. "We're not the only ones in the Sword Moon Sect. If we die, more powerful masters will come and you'll die a worse death!"
Chu Li's laughter reached their ears. It was as if they could see a mocking smile on Chu Li's face. "Then I'll wait and see if your masters are more powerful or my formation is more powerful!"
"No matter how powerful your formation is, it's still dead!"
"That might not be true!"
"Why don't you surrender?" Lu Wuji said coldly. "As long as you die, we won't pursue this matter."
Chu Li laughed. "It's better if I don't say such a ridiculous thing!"
"Very well, you still have another option," Lu Wuji said. "You can join the Sword Moon Sect and become a disciple!"
Chu Li said, "I'm not worthy of the Sword Moon Sect. Goodbye!"
"Don't you want to experience the profound martial arts of the Sword Moon Sect?" Lu Wuji quickly asked.
Chu Li said, "If the Sword Moon Sect's martial arts were really profound, I wouldn't have beaten them so badly. It's nothing more than that. It's fine if I don't experience it!"
"That's because our disciples are unworthy and failed to master the Sword Moon Sect's martial arts." Lu Wuji scoffed. "The martial arts of the Ji Dynasty is a level lower than the Fu Dynasty's. Although you're strong, you're not the best in the Ji Dynasty, right?"
"Don't worry about it. Goodbye." Chu Li's voice was faint and faint before it finally disappeared.
Everyone looked at Lu Wuji in confusion. They did not know why he changed his mind to recruit Chu Li.
Lu Wuji shook his head with a solemn expression.
"Senior Brother Lu, let's just break the formation." A rugged middle-aged man scoffed. "It's just a formation!"
"Luckily, Senior Brother Lu was careful and brought the Formation Breaking Talisman." Another man smiled and shook his head. "However, the power of the Formation Breaking Talisman is limited. I don't know if it can break this formation."
The Formation Breaking Talisman could break some small formations, but it was useless against medium and large formations.
"How strong can a formation set up by him alone be!" The rugged middle-aged man scoffed.
Lu Wuji took out a blood-red jade pendant and sighed.
This Formation Breaking Talisman was not an ordinary treasure. It was a rare treasure that was refined by the Great One Palace. The Sword Moon Sect paid a huge price to obtain it, and there were only five of them in the sect.
They originally planned to use it to break the Yi Public House's formation, but they did not expect to use it here.
The rugged middle-aged man saw his reluctance and scoffed. "Senior Brother Lu, as long as we break the formation, we can go to the Yi Public House and kill them. There are still many treasures in the Public House, enough to make up for this Formation Breaking Talisman!"
"That's right, let's break the formation!" Everyone nodded.
"Sigh … Then let's break the formation!" Lu Wuji sighed and tossed the crimson Formation Breaking Talisman into the air. Then, he pricked his index finger with the tip of his sword and dropped a drop of blood on the talisman.
