Chapter 139 The Backstab of the Pine Tree Taoist

"boom!"

"boom!"

On the shore of Liubo Mountain, countless cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths were engaged in a fierce battle, with countless spells and magical treasures transforming into streaks of light that hurtled towards each other.

Faced with the strong attack of the righteous cultivators, those demonic sect members not only did not retreat, but became even more united, joining forces to resist the attacks of the righteous cultivators such as Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple.

Even more so, the older generation of demons, such as Bai Duzi and the Blood-Sucking Old Demon, showed no mercy and shamelessly attacked the young disciples of various sects.

Bai Duzi and his group did not seek to poison righteous people to death; as long as it could affect the poison used by those righteous cultivators, they would use it ruthlessly, no matter what kind it was.

In particular, Bai Duzi was a member of the Hehuan Sect. With a wave of his hand, he administered aphrodisiacs such as Hehuan Powder to countless righteous cultivators, forcing many to expel the toxins from their bodies first.

In a short time, due to the shameless actions of Bai Duzi and other old demons, the balance of this chaotic battle gradually tilted towards the side of the demonic sect.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xueqi couldn't help but feel anxious, but she was unable to go and help.

Because she had something even more important to do: protect Zhang Xiaofan.

After seeing Bai Duzi use poison, Zhang Xiaofan took a Da Huang Dan and began to regulate his breathing in hopes of recovering some strength as soon as possible.

However, Wan Renwang stood there watching intently, so Lu Xueqi naturally dared not be careless.

As the balance began to tilt in favor of the demonic sect, the situation changed rapidly.

At one point, after Cangsong Daoren forced his opponent back with a sword, he saw that Lin Jingyu, Qi Hao and the others were in poor condition due to the effects of the poison, so he quickly shouted.

"Everyone, retreat!"

As soon as Daoist Cangsong spoke, the righteous cultivators forced their opponents back and quickly retreated.

The demonic sect seemed to have a tacit understanding as well, and did not pursue them, retreating as well.

Perhaps because of the previous incident of 10,000 people forcibly extracting blood from corpses, this time, both righteous cultivators and members of the demonic sect took the opportunity to bring back the bodies of their fallen comrades.

Master Shuiyue, who had no choice but to retreat, glanced at Daoist Cangsong with great dissatisfaction and said in a cold voice.

"If Senior Brother Cangsong is afraid of death, he can simply run away. Why bother to disrupt the morale of the army?"

Retreating at this point would undoubtedly be handing over the shallow area where the magic array was set up to the Demonic Sect, which could then easily reactivate the Dragon-Trapping Array.

Once the magic array is activated, who can stop the throng of thousands?

"Senior Brother Cangsong, why are you yielding to the demonic cultists?"

Su Ru frowned, equally dissatisfied, her voice turning cold, her eyes filled with doubt.

Just now, even though Tian Buyi was seriously injured, he managed to hold off one person despite his injuries.

Not to mention, the current situation was all thanks to Zhang Xiaofan, a disciple of Dazhu Peak.

At this moment, wouldn't a single sentence from Daoist Cangsong mean that all their efforts would be in vain, and that everyone would be placed in a life-or-death situation?
Not to mention Su Ru, even Cangsong Daoist's own disciples, such as Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu, were unwilling, but they didn't say it out of consideration for their master.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Cangsong frowned, and a hint of anger flashed across his dignified face as he spoke with an air of righteous indignation.

"I also don't want so many righteous comrades to shed blood and sacrifice themselves in vain. Rather than wasting them here, it's better to preserve some of our strength." Tian Buyi's pale face was so angry that it even showed a bit of ferocity as he roared.

"Do you know that by doing this, you're only going to kill more people?"

How could Tian Buyi not be furious? Although he was extremely concerned about his reputation and not very magnanimous, he was still the same Qingyun disciple who was full of a sense of justice back then.

As for his magnanimity and temper, those only gradually changed after he became the head of the household.

Seeing that the leaders of Qingyun Sect were arguing on the spot, Faxiang quickly spoke up to mediate.

"Uncle brothers, things have come to this point, let's think of a way to break the Dragon-Trapping Formation."

Master Shuiyue snorted coldly upon hearing this, but he had no choice but to suppress his anger, since the matter was already settled and they could no longer change anything.

Moreover, under the command of the Azure Dragon, the group of demonic cultists have now completely occupied that shallow area and have begun to restart the Dragon-Trapping Formation.

"Previously, Zhang Xiaofan and the Kui Niu worked together to hold back the Ghost King. My junior sister and I took the opportunity to destroy the iron spikes that set up the formation, which is how we broke the formation."

As he spoke, Master Shuiyue paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice.

"To break that Dragon-Trapping Formation, we should attack from the outside, but the Ghost King has already suffered a great loss once, so this time he will definitely be more prepared."

"If we join forces with the divine beast Kui Niu and gather everyone's strength, is it possible to break the formation from within?"

Fa Xiang couldn't help but speak up, but as soon as he finished speaking, Su Ru quickly shook her head and rejected him.

"If that magic formation successfully traps the Kui Niu, we will have no chance of winning. That magic formation has a great restraining effect on the Kui Niu."

Upon hearing this, Faxiang and many other disciples from Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple all changed their expressions.

Many disciples looked up at the figure above the Kui Niu's head, and suddenly, one disciple exclaimed in surprise.

"What is Senior Brother Zhang doing?"

Looking at Zhang Xiaofan sitting cross-legged, many disciples were startled, and a sense of reverence arose spontaneously from the bottom of their hearts.

That appearance was completely unexpected to these Taoist and Buddhist practitioners; it was clearly meditation.

Zhang Xiaofan chose to start meditating at this time, so his idea was very simple: he clearly wanted to fight again!
"No matter what, this time, I will not back down!"

Lin Jingyu suddenly spoke up, his eyes filled with a stubborn and resolute look.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Cangsong was taken aback. He turned around in astonishment to look at his beloved disciple, who was turning his head away and deliberately avoiding him. A pang of pain shot through his heart for no reason.

Then, as if he had thought of something, Daoist Cangsong's face paled a little, and he seemed to be somewhat afraid.

The reason why Daoist Cangsong told people to leave was because he was never worried about his own safety. Unless Wanrenwang planned to kill all the cultivators of both the righteous and demonic paths, he would not be in any danger.

In fact, Daoist Cangsong had already planned that he would step forward and ask Wanrenwang to release Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu.

At worst, we can lock up Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu first. If they choose to join the Demonic Sect, they can follow him. If they don't want to join, we can release them after the attack on Qingyun Sect is over.

But at this moment, Daoist Cangsong suddenly felt a little scared, afraid that his disciple would not be able to accept the truth after learning it.
