Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity
Chapter 679 Falling into a Trap
Li Jue had no choice but to quickly employ methods to defend against the sudden attack from the sky.
However, his subordinates were not so lucky.
The moment the attack arrived, they were all instantly killed.
Li Jue's eyes were bloodshot, almost spitting fire. The team he had painstakingly built up over many years was gone in an instant. This was his life's work.
However, it was too late at that point, and it was a pity.
Li Jue had no choice but to leave behind the corpses of these people and fly off in one direction with all his might.
Although this place is relatively far from Sanling Town, he can arrive in about fifteen minutes if he flies at full speed.
At that time, he will be saved.
The attacks from all sides came crashing down once again, and Li Jue threw away all his possessions.
He threw out all sorts of defensive magic items and offensive talismans at once.
In an instant, the surrounding area was filled with flashing light and explosions.
Li Jue also took advantage of this precious gap to break free from the encirclement.
They finally escaped before those people caught up with them.
Those people seemed to have some reservations, and did not continue the pursuit, disappearing quickly.
But Li Jue dared not stay there any longer and left immediately, not even burying the bodies of his brothers.
After Li Jue left, Yu Jie and the others slowly appeared.
Du Xingcai also took off her mask.
With their strength, they could have easily kept Li Jue and the others here.
However, Yu Changsheng specifically instructed them to leave one alive to go back and report the news.
Du Xingcai said, "I wonder if Li Muling will fall for it?"
Yu Jie said, "Whether we fall for it or not, Li Muling must hate Li Xiu even more right now. That will give us a better chance of using Li Xiu to lure him out. In short, let's wait and see."
"Let's hurry back and meet up with your husband."
Meanwhile, Li Jue returned to Sanling Town as quickly as possible, and only after entering the town did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He hurriedly said to the guards standing at the city gate:
"Hurry, take me to see the clan chief."
Before long, Li Jue was helped to the city lord's mansion.
Seeing Li Jue in such a state, Li Muling couldn't help but frown.
"Li Jue, what are you doing? You've gotten yourself into such a sorry state, what happened?"
"Chieftain, we've been ambushed!"
Li Jue quickly told Li Muling what had happened, "I barely escaped with my life."
"You bastard Lu Xin, you actually tried to scheme against me."
Li Muling's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he immediately asked Li Jue:
Where are those people?
"I've placed a secret technique of our Li family on them in the woods outside the city; they can be found at any time!"
"Good! Well done! This time, I'll make them pay with their lives! No, killing him directly is too easy on them. I'll personally show them how powerful I, Li Muling, am."
"Immediately mobilize manpower and invite all three Nascent Soul cultivators stationed in Sanling Town."
Li Jue said, "You invited them all? Clan Chief, why did you have to personally come to deal with those guys?"
Li Muling, however, said firmly, "Enough nonsense, go and fetch the people. This time, I don't want any surprises. You must capture them!"
"Yes."
Seeing this, Li Jue dared not utter another word and immediately went to make arrangements.
In the forest.
Yu Changsheng was also looking at Lu Xin and the other two.
At this moment, Lu Xin and the other two realized that they had already fallen into someone else's trap the moment they met Yu Changsheng at the inn.
Only now, seeing Yu Changsheng standing with the others, did I understand.
"Who...who exactly are you?"
Seeing Yu Changsheng's sudden change in demeanor, Lu Xin couldn't help but ask.
Yu Changsheng, however, had no intention of answering his question. Instead, he turned to Ding Xuan beside him and said:
"Is everyone here?"
Ding Xuan nodded and said, "Elder Wu's men have been brought over. It really wasn't easy."
"Even that one, we invited him this time, and everyone is in place."
Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "Alright, no matter how many people the Li family sends this time, we must take them down!"
Lu Xin was so shocked by their conversation that he almost dropped his jaw.
Is this young man in front of me the same newcomer to the cultivation world who didn't even dare to enter the city lord's mansion and was repeatedly deceived?
"You! Wang Meng, who exactly are you?"
At this moment, Lu Xin was still eager to know Yu Changsheng's identity.
However, Yu Changsheng had no intention of revealing the truth to him yet, but simply said:
"Hehe, Brother Lu, just stay here and relax. I'll take care of the rest."
"Don't worry, I don't intend to kill you, nor do I intend to kill anyone else. I just want to borrow a few people to help me get rid of one person!"
"After this, I will release you all, and I will not take a single spirit stone from you as payment."
Hearing Yu Changsheng's assurance, Lu Xin and the others felt somewhat at ease, but still a little nervous, after all, their previous actions were hardly likable.
After Ding Xuan sent people to escort the group to the designated location.
Ding Xuan then asked, "Sir, are we really going to let them go so easily? These people are not good people."
Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "Perhaps you're asking too much of these rogue cultivators. For them, cultivation resources have to be fought for."
"Those previous actions were reasonable, though they can't be called moral. But as a rogue cultivator, who hasn't done such things?"
"Such behavior, though despicable, does not warrant death. Besides, we were the ones who actively devised this plan to lure them into the trap."
Seeing this, Ding Xuan said no more and immediately did as instructed.
Before long, the scouts sent to Sanling Town immediately sent back news.
It is said that a large number of cultivators have appeared outside Sanling Town and are heading this way.
Yu Changsheng knew immediately that Li Muling must have taken the bait.
So they immediately rushed to the location of the large formation that had been set up.
This time, Yu Changsheng also spent a lot of spirit stones and energy to deal with the people sent by Li Muling.
A formation was set up, and it was a killing formation.
Once inside, even a Nascent Soul cultivator, even if they don't die, will suffer a severe physical loss.
As for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, there is absolutely no chance of them surviving.
We must capture all the people Li Muling sent.
Outside the forest.
Li Muling led his large group of men and slowly approached the direction of the woods.
Seeing that Li Jue was still constantly activating the secret technique, he noticed that Li Jue was standing to the side.
Li Muling asked, "Is the person here?"
Li Jue nodded and said, "Clan leader, it's not far from here."
"Very good, send a small team over to take a look."
"yes!"
Li Jue immediately gathered several Purple Mansion cultivators and then headed towards the forest.
When the group arrived above where Lu Xin and the others were, they indeed saw Lu Xin and the others bound.
Besides the four people, there were also many other cultivators guarding the area.
And judging by the number, it's quite a lot.
Seeing this situation, Li Jue knew that with his limited manpower, he might not be able to take down all of the enemy.
More importantly, we don't know the other party's manpower situation, so it's not appropriate to draw any conclusions directly.
Therefore, after ascertaining the situation, Li Jue immediately led his men to evacuate.
They returned to the location where Li Muling had been.
Upon seeing them return, Li Muling immediately asked, "How did it go?"
Li Jue said, "Report to the clan leader, there are about a dozen people there. I don't know their identities, but they shouldn't be ordinary cultivators."
"Especially when they ambushed me before, their speed and the power of their spells were very strong."
"This is no ordinary strength."
Upon hearing this, Li Muling became even more puzzled. "So many experts have suddenly appeared. What are they planning to do in my Sanling Town?"
"And you mean, they launched a surprise attack while you were resting?"
Li Jue nodded and said, "That's right, it should be the people who made the deal with Lu Xin and the others, their men."
"The person who was able to capture Li Xiu is definitely not an ordinary cultivator; perhaps other forces around the island discovered Li Xiu."
"But they might have a grudge against us, yet they want those ten million spirit stones, which is why they sent so many people."
After hearing this, Li Muling nodded slightly, indicating that it was not impossible.
After all, there are quite a few powerful forces surrounding the island where Sanling Town is located.
Of course, many of them were enemies with several families in Sanling Town.
Perhaps they captured Li Xiu, but were unwilling to return him to the Li family for nothing, so they planned to use this method to lure him out.
Li Jue said, "My lord, we should go and capture those people as soon as possible. We can find out the truth by questioning them."
Li Jue's suggestion does make some sense.
So he said to one of them, "Very well, then please ask the Second Elder and Third Elder to take some men and get rid of those people."
Above the forest.
The second and third elders of the Li family stood side by side, with a group of Purple Mansion cultivators from the Li family behind them.
The second elder was named Li Man, and the third elder was named Li Buwei; both of them were Nascent Soul cultivators.
Originally, neither of them intended to participate in this operation.
After all, it was just dealing with some grunts, and in their eyes, it was a waste of their talents to ask them to take action.
"Hmph! That guy Li Muling, after becoming the clan leader and then the city lord of Sanling Town, he's still as arrogant as ever. He makes us take care of every little thing."
Li Man also said this with great displeasure.
He was at home refining an extremely important elixir, but what happened? He was called over halfway through the process.
They said the Li family had been attacked and that he needed to come and help as soon as possible.
I thought it was something big, but it turned out to be just some small fry.
Li Buwei also snorted coldly, "I've disliked that guy for a long time too. Don't be fooled by his arrogance now; he'll get his comeuppance sooner or later. Let's just watch."
After venting her frustration, Li Man asked, "Will you make the first move, or should I?"
Li Buwei said, "I'll do it. I've been in a bad mood lately, let them vent their anger!"
Li Man nodded slightly. "I'll provide support from the rear."
Li Buwei roared angrily, and a huge hammer-shaped magic weapon suddenly appeared in his hand.
That giant hammer was a full two meters tall, bigger than a person, and exuded an imposing aura.
When Li Buwei arrived above Lu Xin and the others, he immediately began to wield the hammer.
Before long, the sledgehammer had expanded to a size of several hundred meters.
At this moment, Lu Xin and the others below had naturally already noticed the abnormality above.
Lu Xin was filled with even greater fear, for the method above was clearly the work of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
He never expected that he would provoke a Nascent Soul cultivator this time.
Apart from Li Muling, he had hardly ever seen any other Nascent Soul cultivators like this before.
However, Yu Changsheng consistently prevented them from resisting, and it was unclear what he was planning to do.
Seeing this, Hu Chong became even more frightened and struggled even more.
They thought Yu Changsheng was using the Li family to kill them.
But no matter how much he struggled, it was all in vain.
Because Yu Changsheng had long ago ordered his men to keep them firmly under control in this place.
"Die!"
Above, Li Buwei directly activated the giant hammer and slammed it down.
The immense power instantly startled a flock of birds and beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests.
The terrifying wind pressure even snapped many trees at the roots.
Just when Lu Xin and the others thought they were doomed.
However, several figures quickly approached the group and took them away.
boom!
The massive tremor lifted the entire earth, turning the once flat ground upside down.
It has now become a ruin.
Li Buwei was also quite satisfied with his results.
The power of this hammer blow was enough to turn everyone below into dust.
At this moment, Li Man also led her people over, looked at the mess below, and asked:
"How is the situation?"
Li Buwei said, "They should all be dealt with. They were just a bunch of ants. I thought there would be some powerful figures among them."
Li Man nodded slightly. "Now that it's all resolved, let's go back. It's such a small fry, and you made the two of us take action?"
After the two had gone far away.
Below, Lu Xin and the others crawled out from the underground ruins.
Lu Xin and the others then realized that a safe location had been set up here, but it was underground and could not be seen under normal circumstances.
Just before the attack landed, Lu Xin and the others were pulled inside, barely managing to withstand the attack.
Lu Xin was still somewhat unsure why Yu Changsheng and the others would do this.
Could it be that they intend to fake their death and escape using this method? I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
Lu Xin asked, "Aren't we leaving yet? The Li family might come and search us again to see if there are any survivors."
Ding Xuan, standing to the side, said coldly, "What are you afraid of? Let them come. I'm more afraid they won't come."
Lu Xin was completely stunned, but Ding Xuan pulled him over again.
"Be careful, they're coming from the other side, don't show your face."
At this time, Li Muling had also arrived with his men to search the area, and soon they found themselves amidst the ruins. (End of Chapter)
