Among the cultivators, there are indeed all kinds of people. Now, I have encountered four who have taken up the business of robbery.

Since the opening of the Canglong Valley, the vast majority of cultivators have probably already crossed the Longji Beach and left. Those who remain are either lost or have other plans. The four guys happen to be guarding a key passage. Now, they have encountered three isolated fellow disciples, and it is clear that they are taking advantage of the situation to extort a few spirit stones.

However, although two spirit stones are few, it seems not everyone can come up with them.

Wang Bi and Lu Zhi looked troubled, but they did not dare to argue. They turned back to look at Wuji, hoping that "Brother He" would make a decision.

Wuji lagged a few steps behind, slowly moving forward along the shore, while observing the strange river and paying attention to the movements of the four people.

The muddy river, besides its foul smell, occasionally emitted a few dull bubbles, adding to its eerie and unpredictable nature. It was like a slowly moving swamp, calm but harboring unpredictable danger. What was hard to imagine was that such a filthy place could actually contain spirit stones? Moreover, the river was about ten to twenty zhang wide in both directions. To cross it, the place where the four people were guarding was currently the only passage.

Wuji walked up to Wang Bi and Lu Zhi, grinned, and said, "There's a saying that if money can solve a problem, it's not really a problem. If the two of you can't come up with the spirit stones, why don't I cover it for you..."

Wang Bi and Lu Zhi immediately looked pleased and raised their hands to thank him.

Wuji added, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly to avoid future disputes. One spirit stone for a cultivation technique, talismans, or medicinal pills, the more the better..."

Wang Bi and Lu Zhi were slightly taken aback but then nodded in understanding. Although Brother He seemed to be taking advantage of the situation, it was also reasonable. As fellow disciples of Guxian Mountain, their cultivation techniques were not rare. If they could sell them for spirit stones and avoid conflict, why not?

"Brother He, this is the 'Guxian Decree.' If you're not interested, there's also an introductory array formation..."

"I have an introductory method for external alchemy, which I can lend to Brother for your consideration. I also have a bottle of three healing pills, which usually cost two spirit stones..."

Wuji accepted everything, taking the two jade slips and a jade bottle, and then walked forward, stopping three zhang away from the narrow part of the river. He smiled at the leading man and said, "Brother, your fishing net can actually scoop out spirit stones from a cesspool, truly impressive!"

The four disciples of Guxian Mountain stood on both banks. The leading burly man had already put away his net and was closely watching the movements of Wuji and the others. Seeing that they had conceded and were trying to flatter him, he sneered and said, "Hmph! What fishing net, what cesspool? Nonsense! This is made from the sinews of a dragon, called the Green Dragon Net. Even if you spend dozens or hundreds of spirit stones, you might not get one. Scooping out spirit stones from the Longji Beach is just one of its uses. Restraining spiritual energy and capturing enemies is its true power!" He did not intend to say more and extended his hand, "Since you are passing through here, it is only right to show some respect. A small tribute is only natural..."

What he meant by "natural" was to bully you openly!

Wuji did not argue, took out six spirit stones, and threw them over, indicating, "Please let us pass, otherwise, falling into the cesspool would be unseemly!"

The man caught the spirit stones, slightly surprised, and exchanged glances with his companions, who slowly moved back.

Wuji was about to cross the river when he paused.

He saw Wang Bi and Lu Zhi suddenly appear behind him, darting across the river, and landing on the opposite bank, running away without looking back. The four disciples guarding both banks did not stop them, but their eyes flickered with strange expressions.

Wuji stood there, stunned.

Those two guys looked loyal on the surface but were actually a pair of slicksters. How many honest people are there among cultivators? Just like these four, they were clearly full of mischief!

Wuji grinned, walked forward unhurriedly, and as he approached the river, he lightly stepped and leaped up. But just as he left the ground, he suddenly stomped his foot and returned to the air.

At that moment, a green light rushed towards him. It was the Green Dragon Net, clearly prepared in advance, but it missed and quickly changed direction, swooping down again.

Wuji returned to his original position, without hesitation, and with a few quick steps, he flew back over ten zhang, summoning a silver flying sword in front of him.

At that moment, the four people had gathered from both banks. The disciple controlling the Green Dragon Net led the chase, furious and said, "You dare to play tricks on me, leave your life behind!"

What a domineering statement! Was he supposed to willingly be caught in the net and be at his mercy just to please him?

Fortunately, he was cautious, or he would have been in big trouble!

Although Wuji was prepared, the sudden attack still made him flustered. As he flew backward, he turned to the four pursuers and said angrily, "I have already given you the spirit stones, what more do you want? Killing someone is just a matter of a nod, don't push it too far!"

Before he finished speaking, a green light enveloped him from above, accompanied by a sinister laugh, "Hehe, what more? I want all the spirit stones you have..."

This was the first time he faced a magical artifact with unpredictable changes, and he was at a loss. He hurriedly threw the silver sword in his hand. There was a dull thud, and the silver sword was swallowed by the green light and disappeared.

He paused, quickly grabbed two talismans, and waved them. Fortunately, he had not forgotten how to use talismans, and two streams of firelight burst out. Another dull thud, the green light intensified, sparks flew, and the true fire talisman he had cast was already in tatters.

Wow, the Green Dragon Net was so powerful!

Wuji gasped, turned to run, but in the blink of an eye, he stopped and stared in shock.

He had already moved over ten zhang, which was fast enough, but one of the opponents was even faster, intercepting his path in a breath, and each of them had summoned flying swords, ready to attack. The burly man controlling the Green Dragon Net stopped about seven or eight zhang away, green light swirling around his hand, his expression full of arrogance and triumph.

No need to think, it was all because of the spirit stones! Human desires are insatiable, truly unpredictable!

The four guys deliberately let Wang Bi and Lu Zhi go to deal with him. Now, trapped here, he was probably doomed. Those four were stronger than Xiang Rong and Gou Jun from Lingxia Mountain, and they were well-coordinated, with the Green Dragon Net in hand. This was going to be tough!

Wuji hesitated for a moment, waved at the four people around him, and said, "I still have a few spirit stones on me. If you need them, take them. We are fellow disciples, why hurt each other? If the elders find out, they will surely blame us..."

At that moment, he had regained some of Mr. Wu's style, rambling and timid, looking helpless to others. But his eyes behind the mask were darting around.

"Hmph! Every time the Canglong Valley opens, dozens of disciples go missing. No need to worry, no need to hide your face with a golden mask..."

Wuji followed the voice, but before he could respond, he suddenly noticed a figure on his left had disappeared, like a ghost. His face changed, and without thinking, he swung his right arm, pulling out a black sword light and sweeping it out fiercely.

"Bang—"

The magic sword struck, and a figure that had just appeared screamed and fell to the ground. The flying sword that had suddenly attacked still had its momentum and slashed towards him.

Invisibility? There was actually an invisibility technique...

Wuji, in a daze, could not dodge in time. His protective spiritual energy "cracked" and collapsed, his clothes shredded, and a blood line appeared on his waist and abdomen. He grunted, staggered, and just as he was in danger, another sword light whistled towards him from behind. Without turning his head, he twisted his waist, and spiritual energy surged, making the three-foot magic sword burst into a light over ten feet long, sweeping out a black storm with his arms.

"Clang—"

The flying sword, which was moving forward, was deflected back, leaving the attacker stunned. Before he could react, he was hit by the black sword light, flying back and landing on the river, realizing he had no support, and called for help in panic.

At the same time, the cultivator controlling the Green Dragon Net was about to take advantage of the situation but paused, then cast the green light from his hand to rescue. His last companion, seeing the opportunity, urged his sword light to deliver a fatal blow.

"Bang—"

Wuji, protected by the magic sword, deflected the approaching sword light again, grabbed a few talismans, and threw them at the two opponents.

Firelight burst, and the talismans disintegrated.

This slight delay was enough for the disciple who had fallen into the river to struggle in vain, emitting two final, piercing screams before gradually being consumed by the foul mud. The mud seemed to be a bone-eroding poison, and anyone who fell into it was instantly reduced to nothing.

Wuji, having gained the upper hand, turned and ran.

Four opponents, two were eliminated, and the remaining two were the most powerful, especially the Green Dragon Net, which was impossible to deal with!

"Stop—"

The burly man shouted and, with his companion, pursued fiercely. In a moment, one dead and one injured, they thought they had a sure win, but they suffered such a great loss. They were ashamed and angry, moving as fast as the wind, casting the Green Dragon Net to capture the opponent. His companion urged his sword light, ready to deliver a lethal blow.

Wuji moved over ten zhang in a step, which was fast enough. But the two pursuers, not touching the ground, did not need to jump, directly flying three feet above the ground, their cultivation levels clearly superior.

In no time, the pursuers and the pursued were getting closer.

The burly man cast a spell, and the green light suddenly turned into a green cloud, enveloping down.

Just as the opponent seemed to have no way to escape, a blinding sword light suddenly appeared, accompanied by rolling thunder, tearing through the dark sky and rushing towards them with overwhelming power.

The burly man and his companion did not have time to be surprised before they were crushed by the powerful and strange sword light. The sword light continued its momentum, rushing over a hundred zhang before finally dissipating in a loud boom. The injured disciple who had fallen to the ground also did not escape, his flesh and blood turned to dust, and his soul returned to the heavens.

A moment later, a beast skin talisman slowly fell from the sky... Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
