Chapter 96

Thank you: Muye Qingcha, Shiyehuifan, and Zaguaimairen for your support and moon tickets!

...

This is not good at all!

I was enjoying myself in Canglong Valley under the name of Hetiancheng, but it turns out my identity had already been leaked. The guys from Baijian Peak are really making a fuss, gathering three or four hundred people to deal with me.

Why go to such lengths?

I didn't intentionally infiltrate the Immortal Sect or Canglong Valley. Even if I did use a false name and kill several people, it was all out of necessity and beyond my control!

You should know that I used to be a gentleman, polite and kind to others! Now my hands are stained with blood, and I have to participate in one deceitful and life-threatening battle after another. Who can I turn to for justice?

Sigh, it's too late to say anything now!

Hiding in Canglong Valley is not a long-term solution! Now I can only think of ways to escape; there's no other way out!

However, with hundreds of people waiting ahead, just thinking about it makes me dizzy!

What bad luck!

The greatest misfortune in life is not a string of bad luck or stepping on dog poop, but knowing there's a big pit ahead and still jumping into it without hesitation!

Wujiao stood there, frowning deeply.

This unpredictable fate, like the narrow and dark gorge above, is suffocating and helpless! It's as if behind every sunny day, there's always a cloud. And now, before I've found the light, the heavy night has already fallen, leaving me lost and desperate!

Seeing that someone was already scared out of their wits, Senior Brother Gu couldn't help but laugh, "Hehe! You might as well surrender and confess! With me and the elders of our sect pleading for you, you might be spared your life..."

Wujiao remained motionless for a moment, then finally took a deep breath, came to his senses, and turned to look at Senior Brother Gu in the formation. He seemed to be moved and smiled, "Senior Brother Gu, to be able to reach the elders of Guxian Mountain, I am truly impressed!"

He seemed to have returned to his normal state, but there was a cold and resolute look in his eyes, and his entire demeanor was more decisive and calm!

Senior Brother Gu's figure swayed in the mist, looking very pleased, and boasted, "I am a relative of Elder Quanwenzhong, who has been in charge of the Immortal Sect for a long time. Even Senior Elder Shenbi and Sect Master Jiangyuan treat him with respect, hehe..." He laughed and continued, "If I capture you, who would dare to compete with me for the credit? What do you think..."

Wujiao didn't let Senior Brother Gu finish his sentence. A black light suddenly appeared in his hand, and he lifted his chin, saying proudly, "My life is determined by fate, and I will never beg for mercy! It was the same in the past, and it is the same now!"

He shook his arm, and the demon sword solidified. He held it with both hands and leaped up. A black lightning bolt shot down, fiercely striking the swaying figure.

"Boom—"

The explosion echoed, and the light flashed. The mist that had been swirling suddenly surged, and a powerful force swept back. The fierce demon sword had just shown its might when it was deflected. The remaining force rebounded, and a strong wind howled in the narrow gorge.

Wujiao, in mid-air, was forced to fly backward but managed to stop himself by stepping on the air. He then struggled to leap forward against the wind and raised the demon sword high, slashing down again. His frenzied stance clearly showed he was not going to let Senior Brother Gu off.

Indeed, after being bullied and trapped, anyone would be pushed to their limits. Regardless of the dangers ahead, it was time to vent his anger.

The demon sword's path was accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.

Boom, boom, boom...

Senior Brother Gu had already hidden his figure in the formation, but he was unharmed, only waving his hands and casting spells. As the formation was activated, a white light over twenty yards wide filled the gorge, growing stronger and more formidable, seemingly invincible!

Wujiao leaped up and down, repeatedly charging at the formation, his demon sword slashing wildly. But in no time, he stumbled and fell back, panting heavily.

The flashing light gradually subsided, and Senior Brother Gu's figure slowly appeared in the formation. He looked at the exhausted Wujiao and sneered, "Since you insist on breaking the formation, I will accompany you to the end, hehe..." Before he finished laughing, he added, "This is the Five Talisman Formation, with the powers of life, death, confinement, prohibition, and destruction. With the addition of magical power, even a senior expert would be wary. You are like an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating your abilities!"

Wujiao panted a few more times and said angrily, "Relying on the formation's advantage, you are nothing. I will go to Longjiao Peak, and you dare to stop me!"

He put away the demon sword, flung his sleeves, spat, and started walking forward.

Senior Brother Gu, not expecting Wujiao to leave so easily, was taken aback but only hesitated for a moment before quickly casting a spell. The flashing light disappeared, and the five small flags flew up into his hands. Seeing that his opponent was clearly running out of power, he decided to pursue, shouting, "Don't run..."

Wujiao didn't run but turned around, his figure flashing, and the demon sword extended horizontally. The five small flags descended, and the surrounding energy changed abruptly. He was startled and quickly dodged.

Senior Brother Gu's cold laugh followed, "Hehe, you tried to lure me, but I will turn the tables on you!"

Wujiao moved dozens of yards in the narrow gorge, barely avoiding the formation's confinement. A jade talisman then attacked, exploding with a loud bang. Dozens of sharp sword beams appeared out of nowhere, raining down like a storm. Just as he was about to dodge, it was too late. In a panic, he suddenly fell to the ground, disappearing instantly.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

Sword beams poured down, and the gorge was filled with dust and flying debris.

Senior Brother Gu retreated, the five small flags circling around him, and he held a flying sword, still on high alert and bewildered.

After a moment, the dust settled. A series of stone pits were visible, but the figure in the tattered blue robe was nowhere to be seen.

He didn't dare to let his guard down, using his divine sense to check the surroundings. There was no movement in the gorge, on the rock walls, or even dozens of yards underground. After a moment, he sighed in frustration.

Under the combined attacks of the Five Talisman Formation and the sword talisman, any expert would be forced to surrender. Who would have thought that the cunning opponent would escape, which was quite unexpected.

Did he return the way he came, or did he head for Longjiao Peak?

If he returned, he would only be asking for trouble. Canglong Valley would be closed for thirty years, and everything would be hidden, with no one known to have survived.

If so, he must have headed for Longjiao Peak. Although he would face an attack, there might be a chance in a desperate situation.

No!

I can't let Meng Hu and the others from Baijian Peak get the credit!

I will capture the infiltrator myself to win the favor and rewards of the Sect Master and the elders...

Senior Brother Gu had a plan but didn't rush into action. He stayed where he was, carefully on guard, and after a while, slowly crossed the series of stone pits, looking around suspiciously. After a moment, he put away the five small flags, summoned his flying sword, and started walking forward along the gorge.

In a short time, he had moved dozens of yards, and there was still no sign of anything unusual.

Finally, he relaxed, hovering three feet off the ground, ready to move quickly. At that moment, a green light suddenly emerged from the ground. He was startled, leaped up, and used his flying sword to block, while also pulling out the five small flags. Despite his quick reaction and experience, he was still too late. As he moved, he was already surrounded by the green light. Instantly, countless green threads covered the sky, making it impossible to break free or escape, and darkness descended, the world turned upside down...

At that moment, someone jumped out of the ground, grabbing without hesitation. The green light, still struggling, suddenly contracted with a "crack" and fell, revealing a bloodied figure. He didn't have time to think, put away the green silk net, and swept up the five small flags with his sleeve, then swayed his tired body, letting out a long sigh.

Luring me into a trap?

The last laugh is the best!

These small flags are very powerful, and they are mine from now on!

The so-called Five Talisman Formation, invincible and versatile, with both offensive and defensive capabilities, was formidable. Even after dodging several ambushes, it still caused him a lot of trouble!

Wujiao finally turned the tide and couldn't wait to examine the five small flags he had taken.

At that moment, a light flashed on the ground nearby. In the blink of an eye, the supposedly dead Senior Brother Gu came back to life and disappeared with the light.

Wujiao just noticed, and the green silk net on his wrist flew out. But there was nothing left on the ground, and Senior Brother Gu was gone. His joy turned to shock, his eyes wide, his mouth half-open, and he stood there for a while before sighing in frustration.

Every cultivator is exceptionally intelligent. A slight mistake in a confrontation can lead to a loss.

Today, he encountered such an opponent!

First, he tried to lure and trap, but was instead ambushed. He had to hide underground to barely escape. Thinking he had won, he was surprised to find that Senior Brother Gu had survived the green silk net and used a trick to escape, which was completely unexpected!

Looking back, the guy's cultivation might not have been strong, but his intelligence and cunning, as well as his versatile methods, were superior. If he didn't have the demon sword, earth techniques, or the green silk net, he might have died several times...

Wujiao, after being stunned, suddenly felt useless. Compared to any cultivator, even someone like Muxin, he felt inferior in many ways. He had only made it this far by a stroke of luck, stumbling along without direction!

Well, as long as the luck is still there, the heavens won't abandon me. I am just a mortal, so why should I belittle myself!

Wujiao was dejected for a moment, then shrugged indifferently. He looked at the small flags in his hand, took a step forward, and slowly disappeared into the ground.

Hundreds of people are waiting at Longjiao Peak, it must be quite a scene. Let me prepare and make a grand entrance. Whether I can carve out a bloody path or meet my end depends on my luck...
