Wu Chang Jie

185+186

Chapter 185
They are in the palace hall, surrounded by rubble and wreckage. A group of men and women were dressed in icy gray cultivator uniforms surrounding them. Countless longbows have been strung in half-moon shapes, and the arrow tips were aimed at them in unison.

This feeling is like waking up from a sleep and finding yourself in a mountain of knives and a sea of swords. Xie Bi An's heart was pounding, and his hand clutching the hilt of his sword was oozing with sweat.

Lan Chui Han and him were back to back: "You finally woke up." The tone was somewhat helpless.

"I ... am sorry." Xie Bi An was very vexed that he had fallen back into the illusion at such a moment of crisis. His eyes quickly caught sight of the tall man in the crowd that covered his face, and his eyes instantly burst with killing intent.

Lan Chui Han said: "Brother Yun, you let Qing Wu Zi lure us into the city and set up an ambush, what for? Is it because you want to kidnap us and turn us into hostages?" Of course, he had already guessed that both the Golden Trunk Jade Policy and Qing Wu Zi were due to Yun Zhong Jun playing tricks behind their backs, and the purpose was just to get Xie Bi An's core, but Yun Zhong Jun didn't dare to let the Cangyu Sect people, especially Qi Meng Sheng, know yet, and they naturally didn't want Xie Bi An's identity to be exposed. This fact might help them hold back Yun Zhong Jun.

Xie Bi An could feel Lan Chui Han's muscles behind him tensed up. His shoulder blades were rising and falling slightly with his breathing. He was obviously not as calm as he sounded.

Yun Zhong Jun's voice was still cold: "Qing Wu Zi is still missing now. I also would like to know what deal he has with you guys. You guys have trespassed into Chidi City and come to the palace and plotted against my master, so it can be considered that you guys have walked right into our trap. What ambush do I still need to set up?"

"How much longer does Brother Yun still want to pretend?" Lan Chui Han smiled coldly, "If Qing Wu Zi really had any deal with us, would he not tell us that Immortal Lord Qi is not in the Palace at all?"

"Qi Meng Sheng is not in the Palace?" Xie Bi An whispered, "Could it be that she went to Shen Nong Ding?"

Yun Zhong Jun said, "That's right. Master went to Shen Nong Ding three days ago to make the final layout for the opening of the furnace. I expected you guys to have no guts to assassinate Master, so this trip is for the Qingfeng Sword?"

Xie Bi An stared at Yun Zhong Jun. His eyes full of coldness: "Does Yun Zhong Jun really not know why we came? Unluckily, we know why Yun Zhong Jun came."

It was difficult to see the expression on Yun Zhong Jun's face behind the mask, but the hollow of his eyes had a faint flicker in those shadowy pupils: "I don't know what you are talking about. Could it be after you were struck by the 'Realm of Nothingness' that you can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion?" His pale pink lips curled slightly, "Do you guys think you are really awake now?"

The two were shocked.

Lan Chui Han said in a deep voice: "Bi An, don't fall under his spell. We are awake now."

Xie Bi An settled his mind: "Don't worry." He lowered his voice again and said, "Wu She is definitely trying to think of a way to save us."

"Don't try to stall for time. Allow yourself to get captured with hands tied!" An elder bellowed, "When Sect Leader Immortal Lord has succeeded, for the sake of Heaven Master Zhong and Immortal Alliance Li, perhaps she can spare you from death."

"Qi Meng Sheng will not be able to refine the core, and she will never get her way with her schemes."

"You're overestimating your capabilities." Yun Zhong Jun said, "Brother Lan, White Immortal, I advise you to recognize the situation. Heaven Master Zhong has lost his Qingfeng Sword, Li Bu Yu is dying, and Xu Zhi Nan has passed away. Looking at Jiuzhou, no one can confront my master. My master will definitely refine the Absolute Human Emperor, forge an immortal body, and unify the immortal cultivation world. A gentleman won't stand beside a collapsing wall*. One of you is from the Underworld, and one of you is a new talent who's not fully accepted by the Immortal Alliance, so why do you have to fight for Li Bu Yu?"
