Chapter 307 - Trap

Chapter 307: Trap

After the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region formed an alliance, the efficiency of all aspects of resource allocation clearly increased greatly.

Many small forces that could barely survive under the large forces also ushered in a golden period of development.

However, a portion of the external forces did not live well.

For example, after the Immortal Ascension Pavilion, which was quite good at doing business in the cultivation world, had their main business of the Immortal Ascension Assembly forcefully taken back by the Great Mountain Alliance, they gradually lost their originally arrogant status in the market and had already become a second-rate faction.

However, the newly appointed Immortal Ascension Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, Wen Huizhou, would not sit idly.

At this moment, a group of cultivators that should not have been related gathered in the Immortal Ascension Pavilion.

The group of people all wore some disguises. They sat in an underground secret room and quietly tasted the tea in their hands, as if they were waiting for someone to come.

Bang! A cup of tea landed heavily on the table.

“Pavilion Master Wen, who exactly is this guest that you mentioned? He actually made us wait here for so long! The elders of the three major sects don’t have such an attitude!”

“That’s right. If those emotionless masked people from the Great Mountain Alliance discover that we are gathered here, hmph, it will be troublesome.”

A group of people sat in the dim secret room of the Immortal Ascension Pavilion with gloomy expressions.

“I heard that the Nightless City Lord’s steward was found to have a connection with the Hundred Tempering Mountain. Those masked people directly rushed into the City Lord’s Mansion to capture him. They’re very fearless.”

The Hidden Rock Cultivator Army that Jiang Li had established enjoyed extremely great authority in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region. Their actions were swift and decisive, and they were ruthless.

Coupled with the expressionless masks, these cultivators who were more or less guilty were naturally afraid of them.

If Jiang Li was here, he would more or less have some impression of this group of people.

They were all cultivators from the various forces of the Great Mountain Region. Ordinarily, they could not see any abnormalities, but for some reason, they were very dissatisfied with the Great Mountain Alliance or rather the Alliance Leader, Jiang Li.

The development of the Great Mountain Alliance blocked the interests of many people. For example, Jiang Li had strictly ordered the destruction of the drug, Green-Robed Immortal. Just this alone made him offend a huge network of benefits.

Among them were even a few elders and disciples of the Scripture Storage Valley.

The dissatisfied clamor continued. Pavilion Master Wen sat at the top and held a cup of tea without saying a word. He only smiled and used the cup lid to gently scrape the tea leaves in the cup.

Compared to Pavilion Master Sun, not only was this person’s cultivation very high, he was also extremely shrewd and did not reveal his emotions.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the secret room.

An invisible pressure passed through the door, causing the tea cups on the table in the secret room to tremble.

The Anti-Alliance cultivators who were originally displeased and clamoring suddenly fell silent uniformly and turned to stare at the door.

Bang! The wooden door was pushed open by a stream of spiritual qi, and a group of 20 red-robed cultivators walked in.

Their arrival caused the surrounding temperature to drop instantly.

“Allow me to introduce them to everyone. They’re the famous Myriad Slaughter Sect’s Blood Saber Guards in the Eastern Region of the Azure Cloud Continent.”

“The Immortal Ascension Pavilion is honored that the esteemed guest of the Myriad Slaughter Sect is here as a guest.”

Pavilion Master Wen put down the tea cup and casually waved his hand. Twenty chairs appeared in the room out of thin air.

Those Blood Saber Guards did not sit. They only stood on the spot and looked at them coldly.

The cultivators of the Great Mountain Region present fell into chaos.

“Blood Saber Guards! They’re actually from the Myriad Slaughter Sect!”

“Pavilion Master Wen, what do you mean!”

The cultivators could not sit still anymore. They stood up and questioned Wen Huizhou.

The Myriad Slaughter Sect was prepared to invade the Great Mountain Region. Although this matter was deliberately suppressed, it was not spread around the Great Mountain Region.

However, many of the cultivators present were cultivators with authority in sects and factions. It was not difficult for them to obtain this information.

The faction behind this group of people was very likely to be the greatest enemy of the entire Great Mountain Region.

However, now, the people from the Myriad Slaughter Sect were standing in front of them. From the looks of it, the guests that Pavilion Master Wen mentioned should be them.

The meaning behind this was quite obvious.

“Everyone, we gathered here for different reasons. However, no matter what, we don’t like the Great Mountain Alliance or that Jiang Li.”

“Now, the opportunity has come. As long as you join us, not only will your lives not be in danger, but after the Myriad Slaughter Sect takes down the Great Mountain Region, the cultivation world of this region will be left to you all to manage in the future.”

“Think about it, no one will criticize us anymore. In the future, everyone will call the shots in the entire Great Mountain Region!”

“I have never forgotten to share such an opportunity. Now is the time for everyone to express their stance.”

Wen Huizhou had a smile on his face as he portrayed a beautiful future for the cultivators below. However, at the same time, the group of Blood Saber Guards also pressed their hands on the hilt of their sabers.

Clearly, after knowing this secret, if they did not join, there was only death.

Whether they were going to die generously for the detestable Great Mountain Region or join the side of the strong, this was not a difficult choice for these people present.

“I can provide you with the map of the Scripture Storage Valley’s sect protection formation, but I have a request. I want to personally kill that Jiang Li and Chu Yunxuan!”

At this moment, a Scripture Storage Valley cultivator covered in a black robe spoke first. He took off his hood and revealed a strange face.

“As expected of the disciple of the Scripture Storage Valley, you are indeed bold. What about the others?”

…

A few days later, the travel-worn Jiang Li was still flying in the sky.

Looking at the rising and falling mountains below, he knew that he had finally returned to the territory of the Great Mountain Region.

He traveled alone and did not even ride on Rayquaza. Instead, he rode the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword at an extremely fast speed.

Due to the fact that he did not need to consider the expenditure of spiritual qi to a large extent, his flying speed was several times faster than ordinary flying ships.

Of course, for this, he had to pay the price of exhaustion.

At this moment, another message came from the clone in the coffin space. Jiang Li had no choice but to summon Rayquaza to let it continue on its way while his consciousness sank into the coffin.

The coffin had not been peaceful recently.

The Nascent Soul cultivator of the Dragon Transformation Island, who was bound by the Dragon Imprisoning Lock and thrown to the side, wanted to cause trouble at all times.

However, with the Nine Nether Wood’s main body watching, nothing could happen.

What made Jiang Li feel a little troubled was the statue clone that had already been embedded with a Buddhist relic and was continuously producing Ananda’s blood tears.

Jiang Li had forcefully used True Several Thousand Hands earlier and used too much of the energy of the opposite blood pool, causing the passageway between the two sides to widen greatly.

Right now, the Asura World had been urging Jiang Li to loosen his authority. The Blood Fighting Arena was prepared to send a few demons here to personally build a higher-grade altar.

The materials were provided by them, and so were the people. The group of Asuras could not wait to launch a new invasion.

Jiang Li, who claimed to believe in the other party, really could not find a reason to reject such a condition.

However, this was the coffin space. If the monster opposite him really came, he might be exposed.

At that time, he would lose his supply of resources.

The quantity of Ananda’s blood tears would stagnate. All kinds of unique treasures of the Asura World would be missed as well.

In that case, the statue clone was equivalent to being crippled.

Jiang Li had only used the technique, True Several Thousand Hands, once. Without the support of the Asura World, he could no longer use it.

This was definitely something that Jiang Li did not want to see, so he had been pacifying the other party.

However, if too much time passed, the other party would inevitably become suspicious.

He had to think of a way to resolve this. However, he happened to encounter the invasion of the cultivators of the Myriad Slaughter Sect, so he could not focus on dealing with the situation there.

At this moment, he still had to return to the Great Mountain Region to make proper arrangements.

Although the people of the Myriad Slaughter Sect were arrogant and domineering, the more such a sect was, the more cautious they were in their actions.

The cultivation world was very large. No one knew which mountain ditch hid a cultivator big shot who could destroy the world.

If they accidentally provoked it, it might bring about a calamity to the sect at any time. That was the lesson of many sects. Even a faction like the Myriad Slaughter Sect could not ignore it.

The cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region had always been a remote corner.

The outside world did not know much about it. Therefore, before the Myriad Slaughter Sect officially began to attack, they sent out elite Blood Saber Guards to probe the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region for harassment and killing.

After figuring out the true strength of the Great Mountain Alliance, they believed that they could defeat them and would attack with lightning speed.

Therefore, currently, the most important thing was to eliminate the Blood Saber Guards who had invaded the Great Mountain Region. Only by preventing the Myriad Slaughter Sect from determining the truth of the Great Mountain Alliance could they delay the war to a certain extent.

Jiang Li used the excuse of having a righteous sect visit to appease the Great Evil Eye in the Blood Fighting Arena again.

He told the other party that he would find another safe place as soon as possible and carry out the first live transmission. Only then did he barely believe it.

However, right at this moment, a communication spirit stone that Jiang Li had yet to use suddenly flickered.

“Senior Brother Jiang Li, when Senior Brother Chu Yunxuan and I were traveling outside, we discovered a group of strange red-clothed cultivators.”

“It’s very similar to the foreign cultivators you informed the sect to take note of. Senior Brother Chu Yunxuan is secretly following them. Come and see.”

The person who contacted Jiang Li was a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Hall of the sect. He acted extremely anxious and reported a location before directly hanging up the communication.

Previously, after he obtained the news, he had shared the information with the Sect Masters of the three major sects to make them pay more attention. He did not expect to gain something so quickly.

After touching the Alliance Leader Token, Jiang Li sent a message and rushed towards the location provided by that person.

It was quite a coincidence that the location was basically the same as the direction Jiang Li was traveling in, and the distance was not too far.

In just a few hours, he landed outside an already abandoned town.

Outside the city, a Foundation Establishment cultivator wearing the uniform of the Scripture Storage Valley was anxiously walking around the entrance of the town.

He was overjoyed when he saw Jiang Li and hurriedly welcomed him.

“Senior Brother Jiang Li, you’re finally here. Senior Brother Chu Yunxuan and those suspicious cultivators are over there. Quickly come with me.”

That disciple looked a little different from ordinary people. His skin was black and his hair was curled. He also smelled like he did not like to bathe.

From these characteristics, he was undoubtedly a variant human.

Jiang Li knew this person. His name was Karla, and he was indeed a disciple of the Scripture Storage Valley’s Heaven and Earth Hall.

In the sect competition that Jiang Li participated in all those years ago, this person had even obtained the outstanding result of being first in the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, this fellow had always been a little dishonest. In the sect, he had always tried to imitate Eldest Senior Brother Chu Yunxuan, but his imitation was quite clumsy. Coupled with the problem of his character and character, as a genius of the Heaven and Earth Hall, he was instead disliked.

He did not expect that his Eldest Senior Brother Chu Yunxuan would actually go out with him to train.

Jiang Li nodded and followed the other party into the town.

This place was not big, and there were no traces of mortal life inside.

Then, he did not walk far before he saw a figure lying in a pool of blood on the ground not far away.

Chu Yunxuan’s clothes were different from ordinary disciples. From the clothes on the ground, it was indeed the clothes of the Scripture Storage Valley’s Valley Master.

However, Jiang Li was not in a hurry to step forward.

“Junior Brother Karla, didn’t you disguise yourself when you were following the enemy?” Jiang Li turned and asked Karla.

When Karla brought him in, he walked in from the main path without any intention of disguising himself. It did not look like he was following the enemy.

When Karla saw that Jiang Li had already fallen into the trap, he no longer pretended to smile proudly.

“Jiang Li, oh Jiang Li, you’ve been smart all your life, but you still ended up in my hands.”

“Hahaha! What peerless genius? What Great Mountain Alliance Leader is only so-so!”

Karla of the variant race had already quickly pulled away from Jiang Li, and a small mountain appeared in his hand.

A few red-robed Blood Saber cultivators appeared at the right time and surrounded Jiang Li.

“It’s indeed the Blood Saber Guards of the Myriad Slaughter Sect. I can smell this bloody aura from afar.”

“Karla, you colluded with external enemies and have bad intentions. If you surrender now, I might spare your life. Otherwise, I’ll take action on behalf of the Scripture Storage Valley today.”

Jiang Li stood on the spot and was still calm.

“Hmph, I have evil intentions?! Be it you or Chu Yunxuan, the sect has always only given you the best things.”

“As for me, just because I’m a variant human, I’ll never be valued. I want the sect to know that they were wrong. When you and Chu Yunxuan die at my hands, everyone will know who the true genius is!”

Karla was stimulated by Jiang Li’s words. He still did not feel that there was anything wrong with him. He still felt that it was because of his identity as a variant human that others looked down on him.

He threw out the small mountain in his hand in anger. The mountain peak quickly enlarged, transforming into a mountain that was around 20 meters tall and smashing towards Jiang Li.

“Haha, try the Earth Dust Peak that I created! Every speck of dust is pressed down, and the power that erupts from it will be even stronger than the Square Heaven Seal!”

“It’s your honor to die under this move!”

This was the modified version of the Earth Dust Scripture that Karla had used back then.

This guy had really been imitating Chu Yunxuan all his life. Without the Square Heaven Seal, he had forcefully used the Earth Dust Scripture to imitate a similar Earth Dust Peak.

It had to be said that the imitation was quite good. However, it was far inferior to the Square Heaven Seal.

Jiang Li raised his hand and slapped it to scatter the mountain. To him, the lethality of this thing was no greater than a piece of tofu.

As for the suction effect of this dust, it had long been ineffective against Jiang Li.

“This… this… this is impossible!”

“You actually broke my spell! Damn it, no matter what, you’ll die here today!”

Karla, who had been refining the Earth Dust Peak for more than ten years, spat out a mouthful of blood upon its destruction. He still did not dare to believe that his trump card would be so easily broken.

“What’s impossible about that?”

“You already said that I’ve been smart all my life. How can I be so easily tricked by a fool like you?”

“In addition, are you sure this is your trap? Perhaps this is also my trap.”

As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, 30 rays of light instantly arrived. They formed six sets of the Five Elements Sword Formation together and surrounded Karla and all the Blood Saber Guards present.
