Wu Lu, who didn’t know what happened, had a red chest as if he had spit out half a bowl of blood. He crawled up in a miserable manner and stumbled towards the two elders.
While running, he continued to cough up blood and shouted, "Elders, that person is the female spy of the Dawn. Quickly catch him."
Even though Elder Sa Ren didn’t understand what was going on, seeing Wu Lu in such a state made him believe it to some extent.
His figure flashed and quickly pounced towards the other elder.
The person, who saw Wu Lu’s performance, still didn’t know what had happened and was stunned on the spot.
Elder Sa Ren rapidly approached and reached out his palm towards the other elder. Five black lights appeared in the void and closed in on him.
Just as the elder was about to be restrained, he realized what was happening and hurriedly dodged, shouting, "No, he’s framing me..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the five black lights ruthlessly pressed down on him, suppressing him heavily on the ground.
"Ah..."
Just as Elder Sa Ren was about to question him carefully, a scream suddenly came from behind. He was startled and turned around, only to witness a horrifying scene.Wu Lu, who had previously appeared heavily injured, had now rushed to the high platform of the formation. He had a pitch-black snake-shaped longsword in his hand, which had pierced through the heart of Elder Chu Xiong from behind.
And Wu Lu had actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
Yuan Ming was also shocked for a moment, then a realization flashed through his mind.
He had long felt that Wu Lu’s behavior was mysterious, giving him a feeling that he couldn’t quite understand. Now, combining today’s events with the past, it seemed to form a thread.
Elder Chu Xiong, as the elder in charge of the hall, had reached the later stage of Foundation Establishment. He was one of the few powerful experts at the Foundation Establishment stage in the sect, apart from the three cave masters. At this moment, he was fully focused on activating the formation, and he never expected Wu Lu to suddenly make a move and succeed with one strike.
This person’s scheming and methods were top-notch, and he had always concealed his cultivation level, giving Yuan Ming a chilling feeling.
"You are the traitor!" Elder Sa Ren angrily shouted and immediately abandoned the previous elder, rushing towards Wu Lu.
"You are truly clever!" Wu Lu’s mouth revealed a deep smile as he raised his sword and threw Elder Chu Xiong’s body off the high platform.
Elder Chu Xiong’s body rolled and fell to the ground, already dead. Then, the pitch-black longsword in his hand emitted a black sword light and suddenly stabbed into the lower platform.
"Boom!"
After the longsword was inserted into the formation, the brilliance on the platform instantly dimmed. The green pillar of light that soared into the sky also collapsed, causing the entire protective sect formation to lose a powerful support, as if a corner of the sky had collapsed, revealing a huge gap.
All of this happened in an instant. Elder Sa Ren was still in mid-air, his palm raised in anger.
In the palm of his hand, a cold light flashed, and a piece of ice cone-like object appeared out of thin air. It left a light trace in the void and instantly flashed towards Wu Lu.
Wu Lu seemed to have been prepared for this. He waved his hand, and a black silk curtain appeared in front of him, blocking the ice cone.
"Chi!"
The black silk curtain was instantly pierced, forming a deep arc at the top, almost touching Wu Lu’s chest.
But under Wu Lu’s full power, the black silk curtain still managed to block the icy cone.
The momentum of the cone slightly slowed down, but an extremely chilling aura spread from it, penetrating through the black silk curtain and instantly covering Wu Lu’s half-frozen chest with a layer of frost.
However, immediately after, a burst of light surged from Wu Lu’s body. Not only did it dissipate the layer of frost, but the powerful force even forced Elder Sa Ren’s ice cone back.
"This person is at least at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment!" Yuan Ming couldn’t remain calm after seeing this scene.
Wu Lu was most likely a hidden spy sent by the Dawn. Now, thinking about it, the destruction of the sub-formation mentioned by Elder Sa Ren was probably his doing.
Yuan Ming couldn’t help but feel emotional when he remembered that both he and Wu Lu were once beast slaves.
"Wu Lu, you are ruthless!"
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something.
Wu Lu must have a special technique that can forcefully disguise his Foundation Establishment cultivation as that of an ordinary person with only spiritual roots, deceiving everyone!
Could it be that the Dawn had already planned to destroy this sect before he entered the Bi Luo Cave?
Since they came prepared, they must have more than just these means.
At this moment, since the formation had been breached, the members of the Dawn organization outside immediately rushed towards this side, eagerly and competitively killing their way in.
With a quick glance, Yuan Ming saw several familiar faces rushing towards them.One of the most eye-catching figures was a young man in a white robe with colorful face paint. He had put on the somewhat ridiculous pointed hat again, and his face was filled with excitement.
Between his hands, golden light blades danced and twirled, cutting through everything in their path, causing limbs and flesh to fly.
Not far from him, Yuan Ming also saw the figures of Bai Ye and Huan Shi.
Compared to this clown-like young man who was killing without mercy, Bai Ye and Huan Shi seemed to be taking advantage of the chaos.
Seeing a large number of enemies pouring in from this direction, Elder Sa Ren could only grit his teeth and abandon Wu Lu. While waving his hand to throw out a transmission symbol, he called on everyone to shrink their defenses and counterattack the enemy.
The disciples and elders who had just escaped with their lives were forced to fight back, summoning their spirit beasts to charge at the pursuing members of the Dawn Alliance. The sect’s gate immediately fell into chaos and a bloody battle.
Yuan Ming originally wanted to ignore it, but due to the delay just now, someone from the Dawn Alliance had already approached him. He had no choice but to draw his Cold Star Sword to face the enemy.
Two members of the Dawn Alliance attacked from both sides, one holding a black round mirror and shining it towards Yuan Ming. A black light enveloped him, causing his body to stiffen and his movements to slow down.
The other person, wielding a long knife, launched a surprise attack from the side, swinging the knife with all his strength.
Yuan Ming’s movements were slow, and it seemed like he was about to be struck by the knife. But suddenly, a green gem on his waistband flashed with a spiritual light, and his body suddenly became light. He swiftly dodged the attack.
At the same time, his long sword struck towards the attacker.
A freezing wind blade shot out, and the jade pendant on the person’s waist also lit up, releasing a green light that enveloped his whole body.
In the next moment, a cracking sound was heard.
The jade pendant on his waist shattered, and the protective green light was also shattered. The person fell to the ground, already frozen. The other person with the black mirror turned it around and shone it again, but it was met with a blazing flame arrow.
The raging flames blocked the black mirror’s black light.
As the "Rocket Symbol" burned out at Yuan Ming’s fingertips, another black needle appeared in his palm and shot through the air.
The black needle flashed in the void and disappeared.
By the time the person reacted, the black needle had already passed through the flames caused by the rocket symbol, grazing the edge of the black mirror in his hand, and "swoosh," it pierced into his brow.
Yuan Ming casually used his ability to control objects to retrieve the black needle, immediately putting it away. His movements were clean and neat, and with just a glance, he killed the two enemies.
Elder Sa Ren also noticed this and suddenly felt that what he had seen and heard today was too unbelievable. It overturned his previous understanding. First, there was a traitor, Wu Lu, who could kill a Foundation Establishment elder with one strike, and now there was a Qi Refinement disciple with extraordinary strength. Moreover, both of them, judging from their attire, were only registered disciples before.
In fact, after Yuan Ming completed the mission for the Beast Slave Hall, he had met Elder Sa Ren and reported on the mission. However, at that time, the elder was a lofty figure, and his attention was focused on the killing of Kun Tu and others. He didn’t pay much attention to Yuan Ming and didn’t even bother to take a second look at him.
And Yuan Ming had been low-key all this time, never revealing his skills in the sect, which is why he had remained unnoticed until today.
After temporarily getting rid of the entanglement, Yuan Ming’s gaze couldn’t help but search for Wu Lu’s figure.
But he saw that Wu Lu had already fled in the direction outside the sect’s gate.
Yuan Ming’s gaze narrowed, and he saw that whenever Wu Lu encountered members of the Dawn Alliance along the way, he would extend his left index finger and middle finger, intentionally showing it to the other party.
Upon seeing this, the other party would directly pass by him as if they hadn’t seen him, without attacking or obstructing him.
"It really is a secret signal," Yuan Ming thought to himself, his mind racing.
"Boom!"
Another loud explosion sounded.
The high platform standing inside the sect’s gate, without anyone guarding it, was shattered by a figure descending from the sky with a punch.
The exploding debris scattered like a meteor shower, causing the Qi Refinement disciples around to cry and howl in pain.
And with the complete collapse of the formation, which had only been maintained for a short time, the protective sect formation began to crumble. The green light curtain that covered the entire sect shattered into pieces and disappeared.
The entire Bi Luo Cave’s gate was wide open, welcoming the full-scale invasion of the Dawn Alliance.
"Retreat, quickly retreat..."
Elder Sa Ren shouted loudly, leading the elders and disciples to retreat towards the three peaks. At this moment, he suddenly saw a figure from the Dawn Alliance flying out and landing beside the corpse of Elder Chu Xiong. Yuan Ming originally wanted to leave directly, but after seeing this person’s actions, he couldn’t help but look at him.
He appeared to be around forty years old, with a tall and imposing figure, a dignified and somewhat heroic appearance. However, his brow was always furrowed, forming a character "川" wrinkle, giving him a somewhat troubled look.The man bent over to examine Elder Chu Xiong’s corpse for a moment, his face immediately showing a mix of pain and regret.
He then pulled out a strangely shaped long hook-curved blade, placing the sharp edge on the inside of the hook against Chu Xiong’s neck. He stepped on Chu Xiong’s head and yanked hard.
Elder Chu Xiong had long since died, but his head was still severed and rolled to the side.
The heroic middle-aged man seemed unsatisfied, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield, finally settling on Elder Sa Ren.
In the next instant, his aura surged, as if all his rage had ignited. He stomped the ground with both legs.
A pair of black combat boots on his feet lit up.
His body immediately shot up from the ground, leaping more than ten meters into the air, and came crashing down heavily towards Sa Ren.
