"Friend Chen Dao, do you hold the same opinion as me?"
The cultivator asked in a serious tone. At the moment, the two of them, who were in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, were confronting four other cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. Overall, they seemed to be equally strong.
Chen Yun, who had never expressed his position, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention at this moment.
After hearing this, Chen Yun did not respond immediately. Instead, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Wang Tiangu and others calmly, taking in their facial expressions.
Wang Tiangu not only showed no fear, but responded to Chen Yun with a peaceful smile, without any sign of worry.
Mrs. Tai, the monk surnamed You and others did not show any sign of panic, but the look they gave Chen Yun was cold and heartless, without any emotion.
Chen Yun's heart tightened, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and he became alert.
He took a few steps seemingly nonchalantly, keeping a distance between himself and the two parties, then chuckled and said, "Mr. Chen has no objection to this. No matter what conclusion Fellow Daoist Wang and Brother Nanlong finally reach, I will support it."
Nanlong Hou was not too surprised to hear Chen Yun's statement.
Chen Yun's choice to maintain a neutral position had already been made clear. His question just now was just to further clarify it.
Therefore, Nanlonghou's expression relaxed a little, and he nodded slightly at Chen Yun. Then he shifted his gaze away from Chen Yun, sneered, and turned to Wang Tiangu, as if he was ready to make a speech.
However, at this moment, the old man in white shirt next to him suddenly took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "Brother Nanlong, why bother wasting your breath with these people? Do they really think that by uniting, they can force us to make concessions? It's just a foolish dream!" As soon as he finished speaking, the old man opened his mouth, and a light flashed, as if he was about to spit out a magic weapon.
"Brother Yun, please be patient. I am talking to... ah, it's you!"
Nanlong Hou frowned and tried to stop the old man surnamed Yun from his overly impulsive behavior.
After all, when they really started fighting, they didn't have a 100% chance of winning. However, what he never expected was that the old man suddenly turned his head, and a silver wheel rushed out at a speed as fast as lightning, instantly hitting Nanlong Hou who was right in front of him.
A muffled "bang" sound was heard.
As Nanlong Hou was in shock, the silver wheel easily penetrated his protective golden light and hit his chest directly.
Not only did he take several steps back, but his chest also caved in. A mouthful of blood spurted out, shining with golden light.
Nanlong Hou reacted with extreme anger, and immediately waved his long sleeves. A small golden sword flew out from his palm and went straight towards the old man named Yun.
However, the old man flashed and came to the side of Wang Tiangu and others on the opposite side. At the same time, he stretched out his hand, retracted the silver wheel to block the golden sword, and then stared at Nanlonghou's chest with indifference.
A piece of leather armor gleaming with green light was seen from the tattered collar of Nanlong Hou. Although it had sunk into the collar, it was not torn apart.
"Green Rhino Armor! It turns out that you are carrying this precious treasure with you." The old man surnamed Yun's eyes flickered and he whispered to himself with a cold expression.
"Very good, very good! I never thought that you would choose to join the enemy."
Nanlong Hou's face was as pale as paper, with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. He covered his chest with trembling arms, stared at the old man with angry eyes and spoke word by word.
Although the small sword shining with golden light was standing straight in front of him, everyone could see clearly that the man was suffering from severe internal injuries.
"My fellow Taoists, please be careful and cautious. We must not let this villain escape from here, otherwise with his profound cultivation, we will face great difficulties."
The old man surnamed Yun ignored the angry rebuke of Nanlong Hou, but turned to Wang Tiangu and others and reminded them calmly.
It was as if he had suddenly become a stranger between him and Nanlong Hou.
"Please rest assured. We have so many masters here, and he is seriously injured. He will not be able to escape this time." The cultivator surnamed You said with a grim smile, and at the same time sacrificed a white flying knife magic weapon.
At this time, Wang Tiangu turned to Chen Yun and invited him enthusiastically:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, if you are willing to join hands with us to fight this beast right now, we will give you some of the treasures on his body. What do you think?"
His tone was extremely sincere, and he seemed to have completely forgotten the old grudge between him and Chen Yun and the Guiling Sect.
"Join forces?" Chen Yun, who had already seen through everything, did not show any surprise. He just had a calm expression, frowned slightly, and asked softly.
However, his gaze turned towards the stairs.
At the moment when the old man secretly attacked Nanlong Hou, the old woman stood there quietly, obviously to prevent him from escaping.
Unfortunately, they didn’t understand that Chen Yun had never thought of escaping.
Moreover, the walls of this jade pavilion were flashing with white light, and it was obvious that a powerful ban had been set up there, and it could not be broken through by attack.
Naturally, Chen Yun scoffed at Wang Tiangu's proposal for cooperation.
He knew very well that once he got rid of Nanlong Hou, this elder of the Guiling Sect would never mind eliminating another opponent like him.
Otherwise, he should have been invited to join when they first discussed the joint action.
I'm afraid that from the very beginning, he was regarded as a burial object of Nanlong Hou.
Thinking of this, Chen Yun's face remained calm, and he was ready to say a few perfunctory words first, but Nanlong Hou sneered and said first:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, do you really believe in such superficial tricks? Although I don't understand what kind of means this Daoist Wang used to convince so many people to join his camp. Even my best friend who I have known for more than a hundred years chose to betray me."
"But as long as we work together, there is still a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, if we are defeated one by one, we will surely fall into an irretrievable situation!"
As Nanlong Hou spoke these words, he gently touched his chest with his hand, and in an instant, a soft light flowed out. The originally sunken part returned to its original state in an instant.
The expressions of Wang Tiangu and others changed slightly, but the old man named Yun remained calm and said:
"Don't worry, everyone. He just used some mysterious magic to temporarily suppress his injuries. He hasn't fully recovered yet! However, it's a waste of time to get entangled with this young man named Chen. We only need to send one person to contain him, and the rest of us will eliminate Nanlonghou first."
The old man finished his words in a cold tone, then calmly pointed at the silver wheel in front of him and lightly tapped it. The magic weapon immediately turned into a brilliant silver light and flew to his head, and then sprinkled a dazzling silver light that enveloped his entire body.
The old man's figure became blurred in the silver light. It was obvious that he knew that Nanlong Hou held a grudge against him, so he did not expect to defeat the other party, but tried to avoid being hurt as much as possible.
Wang Tiangu frowned, as if he felt that the old man's words made sense, so he turned to the monk named You beside him and said:
"Brother You, you will be the one to deal with this young man. You don't have to fight him to death, just delay him for a while. After we get rid of Nanlong Hou, his end will come."
Wang Tiangu finally stopped concealing his murderous intent towards Chen Yun. After glancing at Chen Yun with a sinister look, a black light several feet high suddenly emerged from his body, and the whole person instantly disappeared into the darkness, looking extremely strange.
When the old woman and the black-faced man saw this scene, they also took out their magic weapons and slowly gathered here.
"Don't worry, I will take care of this fellow Daoist Chen!"
The monk surnamed You sneered, and a white jade Ruyi slipped quietly from his sleeve. Then he took a step forward and walked towards Chen Yun with a mocking smile.
For him, it was easy to contain a cultivator who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage. This was much safer than directly facing Nan Longhou, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage.
Chen Yun stared at the cultivator named You and stood there motionless, but when the old woman left the stairs, the hand hidden in his sleeve tightly grasped an ancient magic weapon.
At this moment, Nanlong Hou suddenly stretched out a hand and waved it backwards. A golden light rushed out, swept away the three jade boxes on the jade bed behind him, and then quickly returned to his hand.
"then!"
Nanlong Hou threw one of the jade boxes to Chen Yun without hesitation.
This sudden action surprised everyone present, and naturally they had no time to react.
Chen Yun took the jade box easily, but he blinked, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Since you have not joined forces with them, I will give you this jade box. If the box really contains the secret of the Fallen Demon Valley, and you can take it away alive, it will be your blessing."
After completing all this, Nanlong Hou put his hands behind his back and said meaningfully.
When Wang Tiangu, the old man surnamed Yun and others heard this, their faces suddenly changed.
Chen Yun lowered his head and examined the jade box in his hand, knowing clearly that this was a trap deliberately set by Nanlong Hou.
This treasure that occupied the entire attic space and was being competed for by the monks was actually brought to them by someone else. It was really ridiculous.
Nanlonghou's behavior was obviously not well-intentioned. The jade box pursuers, represented by Wang Tiangu and others, had long been determined to get it, but now the jade box fell into his hands, which was undoubtedly a strategy to divert the conflict.
The purpose is to distract Wang Tiangu and others so that they can relieve the pressure and escape smoothly. However, this mysterious person showed extraordinary magnanimity and decisiveness. He was able to give up the treasure he had obtained and give it to him, showing a certain degree of heroic style.
However, when the treasure actually fell into his hands.
Chen Yun sneered and turned his palm without hesitation. The jade box disappeared and was put into his storage bag.
Ironically, despite the tense and tense atmosphere in the attic, neither Wang Tiangu and others, nor Nanlong Hou himself, took the initiative to take action.
This is not because there is still any friendship between the two sides, but because everyone understands that Nanlong Hou is now a trapped beast, and once he makes a move, it will definitely be earth-shattering. He may even die together with one or two opponents in a fit of impulse.
These old foxes are well aware of how terrifying the dying counterattack of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator is.
Therefore, no one is willing to be the first to attack and bear the opponent's fatal attack.
Moreover, they themselves were not afraid of the opponent's delaying tactics, because as long as Nanlong Hou could not meditate and regulate his breathing in time, his injuries would become increasingly serious with the passage of time, which was undoubtedly more beneficial to them.
However, what is puzzling is that Nanlong Hou himself remained standing still, seemingly unconcerned about his injuries.
However, the red patches on his face became brighter and brighter, and now had turned into the color of blood.
This made Wang Tiangu and others more cautious, fearing that the other party had already performed some extremely powerful and desperate secret method. They stared at Nanlong Hou with cold eyes, not daring to even blink.
As for the cultivator named You standing nearby, he held a similar view towards Chen Yun, thinking that they only needed to tie up Chen Yun, so he had no intention of taking the first step.
Therefore, even though the attic was filled with a strong murderous aura, it fell silent for a moment.
After a brief silence, Chen Yun, whose face was gloomy, suddenly let out a soft sigh. Although the volume was not loud, it was particularly eye-catching at this moment.
However, the Yuanying stage monsters in the attic were all extremely cunning. Except for the cultivator named You opposite, no one else showed the slightest concern, and no one bothered to look at Chen Yun.
In their minds, Chen Yun would definitely wait for Nanlong Hou to launch the attack first, and then wait for an opportunity to take action.
Only in this way can he find that tiny chance of survival in the chaos.
However, what no one expected was that after sighing, Chen Yun actually took action.
Chen Yun raised his arm as usual, and a black object appeared in his palm.
The monk surnamed You narrowed his eyes slightly, and before he could see clearly what it was, Chen Yun threw the object into the air without mercy.
The object was spinning and dancing in the air, and suddenly it expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge monster that was seventy or eighty feet tall. It was like a huge wall lying between the two people, instantly isolating them.
It was not until then that the monk surnamed You saw clearly that it was actually a dark hill, shining with black light all over, making it difficult to identify its true identity.
However, when he was stunned by the sudden attack, he remained calm and composed, without any sense of panic. Instead, he calmly waved his finger and pointed at a jade ruyi magic weapon standing quietly in front of him.
In an instant, the Jade Ruyi magic weapon emitted a series of deafening buzzing sounds, followed by a dazzling white light that suddenly lit up. In the layers of halos, an image of an extremely huge white tiger appeared. (End of this chapter)
