In this stronghold, the reason why Zuishan could become the leader was not only because of his character, but also because of his cultivation.
He was the strongest person in the stronghold.
But the aura of the newcomer was slightly higher than his.
Immediately after, seven or eight figures rushed into the karst cave.
The people behind Drunk Mountain suddenly showed a look of despair, knowing that they would not be able to escape this time.
The person who rushed in first had a hooked nose, a sinister and unruly expression. His hawk-like eyes swept over Drunk Mountain and the others, and he said in a cold voice, "The Pure Land is here to handle matters. I advise you to obediently surrender, otherwise you will suffer a fate worse than death!"
The people behind him lined up in a row, urging their spiritual power to show their powerful cultivation.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Drunk Mountain said with pain, "As humans, you don't fight against the Corpse Race, but choose to attack the weak. Do you still have any conscience?"
The sinister cultivator sneered, "Conscience? What is that? In this chaotic world, only your own strength is the king! You are weak, destined to be fish on the chopping block. Rather than die at the hands of the Corpse Race and become a Corpse Race member, it is better to let us cultivate.
Only when we become stronger can we have the possibility of continuing. How can the Pure Land's purpose and good intentions be understood by fools like you? "
"Nonsense!" Drunk Mountain was unable to restrain his anger.
The sinister cultivator was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He raised his hand to give the order, but at this moment, a figure silently appeared in the dark shadows.
Before he appeared, no one had noticed him.
He was almost behind the sinister cultivator …
Drunk Mountain's eyes flashed with a look of disbelief. This person … wasn't this the guest called Ying Wuji?
He did not notice when the other party had stayed, or where he had been hiding before.
Puchi …
As if something had been pierced, Drunk Mountain's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle, as if he had seen something extremely inconceivable.
The sinister cultivator who was about to give the order suddenly froze. He felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and then a strong sense of powerlessness spread throughout his body.
He seemed to have realized something and lowered his head to look. He saw that a sharp blade had pierced through his chest at some point in time!
"When … when?!" The insidious man muttered to himself in a low voice. He wanted to resist, but he couldn't circulate his spiritual energy at all. He could clearly feel his life force fading away.
This sudden turn of events caused the complexions of the Pure Land cultivators around him to change. They instinctively dodged to the sides, and when they looked over again, they were all left dumbfounded!
The strongest among them had actually been killed by someone who had snuck up on them without making a sound!
"Puchi …" Another soft sound. Endless Shadow pulled out his scimitar and said calmly, "Well said … don't say it again in your next life!"
"Thump …"
The malicious-looking man fell to the ground, no longer breathing. Large patches of blood stained the ground red.
Everyone's hair stood on end as they felt a chill run down their spines.
Zuishan and the others had never thought that the guest who came today would have such a strange and unfathomable method. If such a miraculous ability was used to deal with them … How could they resist it? Perhaps he would end up like this sinister man, not even knowing how he died!
He quickly regained his senses and shouted, "Kill!"
The sudden turn of events had thrown the enemy's mind into chaos. If he didn't kill them now, when would he?
As he shouted, he was the first to charge at the enemy. The others behind him finally reacted and followed closely behind.
Endless Shadow was already brandishing his scimitars. Like a wolf in a flock of sheep, he killed in all directions.
This was the strength that a cultivator of the Cloud River Tier should have. Ever since the start of the Battle of the Cloud River Tier, he had been exchanging blows with the most powerful elites of the Cloud River Tier in the Nine Prefectures. There were many defeats, and there were many times when he was depressed. Especially after meeting Lu Yiye, he could not help but feel a sense of self-doubt.
Why do I feel like I'm too weak?
In this realm, he was chased by a horde of corpses, but Lu Yiye could easily solve the problem and even save his life. This deepened his self-doubt.
Until now!
He finally met a normal opponent. He also finally understood one thing. It wasn't that he was weak. It was that bastard Lu Yiye …
Too! Strong! Too strong!
After a chaotic battle, Zuishan and the others worked together to kill two, and the rest were all killed by Endless Shadow.
The depression in his heart disappeared, and Endless Shadow felt his entire body relax. He couldn't help but shout, "Awesome!"
Drunk Mountain and the others stared at him in a daze. For a moment, they were shocked to the core.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go! "Endless Shadow was in a good mood. He called out to the others and chased in the direction of the secret passage.
Zuishan and the others finally reacted. One person was left to collect the spoils of war, while the others hurriedly followed Endless Shadow.
In the secret passage, Lu Yiye walked forward. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him.
Behind him, Xu Wang shouted, "Not good, the Pure Land even found the location of our secret passage!"
The thing he was most worried about had happened.
The location of the stronghold had been exposed by Little Fifth, but the direction of the secret passage was unknown to everyone except him and Zuishan. Little Fifth definitely didn't know either.
However, every stronghold had its own secret passage.
If the Pure Land wanted to attack their stronghold, they would definitely search for the exit of the secret passage nearby. Xu Wang had originally held a glimmer of hope, but now it seemed that it was just wishful thinking.
"Where … are you going?" The newcomer was a woman. In the dim light, it was impossible to see her face clearly, but her voice was soft and sweet, making people want to listen to her for a while longer.
She seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. When she spoke, there was a hint of excitement in her voice. It was unknown what she was waiting for.
But since one person had appeared, there would definitely be more.
Such a narrow passage was unfavorable for them. If they fought, not only would the cultivators in the stronghold not be a match, many of the mortals would be injured or killed.
"And you're a little brother … it's rare to see such a delicate and pretty little brother. Come and talk to big sister." The woman had already seen clearly the face of Lu Ye, who was leading the way. Her words were full of charm.
At the same time, she stepped forward and grabbed at Lu Yiye.
Her white jade-like hands were covered with sharp, slender nails that glowed with a metallic luster.
"Keng …"
The long saber was unsheathed, and a fiery red saber light flashed past. The several cultivators behind Lu Ye, who were ready for battle, could only see the woman's shocked expression reflected in their field of vision. Then, they heard an abrupt scream.
Lu Yiye didn't stop. He continued forward.
Behind him, there was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.
By the time the cultivators behind Lu Ye arrived, all they saw was a warm corpse lying on the ground.
"One slash …." Everyone's eyes went wide with disbelief. "One slash …."
When the woman had attacked, the spiritual power fluctuations she had released were not weak. They knew they were no match for her.
To the cultivators in the stronghold, this woman could be considered a powerhouse. The only one who could defeat her was their leader, Drunken Mountain!
But such a powerhouse had actually been killed by the saber-wielding young man in front of them?
They couldn't even tell how high the saber-wielding young man's cultivation base was.
Xu Wang's eyelids twitched violently.
Such strength was simply shocking. No wonder he was able to kill the zombie that caused Yu Zhen's team to suffer heavy casualties and save Yuan Xiang.
Even if the stronghold wanted to defend against such a powerful figure, they couldn't.
They could finally be sure that the guest who came to the stronghold today didn't have any malice towards them.
There was a short exchange of blows in front of them. Every flash of a fiery saber represented the death of an enemy.
Along the way, they would find corpses lying on the ground from time to time.
Even the unscrupulous cultivators of the Pure Land were frightened by this situation. They had blocked this place and wanted to catch a turtle in a jar. Who would have thought that instead of catching a turtle, they would encounter a vicious shark that would devour people without spitting out their bones?
In just a short time, several people had fallen. The remaining cultivators of the Pure Land didn't dare to stay and retreated.
Lu Yiye was still walking unhurriedly. Behind him were the cultivators and mortals of the stronghold. The line was long, but quiet and orderly.
After walking for more than half an hour, there was a faint light in front of them.
Obviously, they had reached the exit of the secret passage.
About a hundred feet away from the exit, Lu Yiye stopped and ordered the people behind him, "Stay here and don't move. Come out when I call for you."
"Yes!" Several cultivators of the stronghold who were originally arranged by Xu Wang to monitor and guard against Lu Yiye instinctively responded.
Along the way, the people behind probably didn't notice what was happening in front of them, but they followed Lu Yiye closely and more or less saw something.
Because of this, their hearts were filled with awe.
Facing the light, Lu Yiye slowly walked out of the secret passage.
In an instant, auras from all directions shrouded them. Lu Yiye squinted slightly and saw more than ten figures gathered in all directions, all of them as if they were facing a great enemy.
One of the cultivators, who was as short as a three-inch nail, shouted with a duck-like voice, "Kid, are you the one who killed our people?"
Although the death of their companions made them realize Lu Yiye's strength, they still didn't have the intention to retreat.
It was inconvenient to fight in the secret passage, so they simply waited outside. They didn't believe that more than ten people together couldn't take down the other party.
They felt even more strange. According to the information they had gathered, the only person who could take action in this stronghold was a person called Drunk Mountain.
But their age didn't match. Drunk Mountain was a middle-aged man, but the one in front of them was a youth of average age.
Lu Yiye didn't speak. Hu Po, who was crouching on his shoulder, opened his mouth and wanted to roar.
"Shh …" Lu Yiye raised a finger to his mouth.
In the end of the world, it was better not to make too big of a commotion. Maybe Hu Po's tiger roar would attract some new trouble.
Hu Po took the opportunity to yawn and lazily lay down again.
He always felt that this trip to the Wushuang Continent had no place for him to use his skills.
Forget it, I'm just a tiger. What's the point of thinking so much?
