Chapter 632 – Subterfuge
Others did not notice Du Dong’s small movements, but Han Li had used his divine sense to monitor this person’s every move as early as when he entered this place just in case.
Now, although Du Dong was sitting on the ground with his head bowed, his lips were trembling slightly between one and the other, clearly carrying out a private voice transmission with someone. There was even an accomplice of Du Dong in this room.
For fear of startling the other party, Han Li did not forcefully listen to their voice transmission, and naturally did not know who the other person was. However, the only cultivators who could escape without being exposed under a sweep of his divine sense were the four JieDan cultivators in this house.
Han Li’s mind was spinning rapidly, his eyes drifted over these people one by one, and for a moment he couldn’t tell which one was more suspicious.
Right at this moment, Han Li’s brain resounded with Silver Moon’s voice transmission.
”Brother Han, the roots of this Tree of Spiritual Eyes are similarly protected by a light shield. Although I have a way to forcibly vanish into the shroud, I don’t dare to guarantee that I won’t startle the JieDan cultivators within the shroud. Do you need me to forcibly break the shield and go in?” Silver Moon said softly.
”Do not act rashly! The hard robbing tactic can only be used when there is no chance to take advantage of it at the end. I reckon that there will be a chaos in this place soon, so it’s not too late to act then. Silvermoon, come back first.” Without thinking, Han Li denied the other party’s suggestion and recalled them.
As soon as Silvermoon heard Han Li’s words, without any intention to disobey, the miniature Silverwolf noiselessly snuck back into Han Li’s interior. Afterward, Han Li closed his eyes and no longer made any other movements other than secretly paying attention to Du Dong’s movements.
Don’t know how long, that Du Dong shut up, and at the same time raised his head and looked around, eyes hidden bizarre color flashes.
Han Li’s heart was in awe, is thinking about whether the other side to act, who knows Du Dong once again lowered his head, nothing happened.
Han Li was slightly stunned, somewhat strange.
Just at this time, a sound like a heavenly crack came violently, then the whole cave violently trembled and shook up, all the meditating cultivators were suddenly shocked to open their eyes, their faces looked at each other with horrified colors.
Gray-clothed old man and other three cultivators also showed a hint of surprise, in which the yellow-clothed cultivator frowned under, hurriedly got up to the direction of the stone door to go. But before he reached it, the cave door opened on its own, and the long-faced old man walked in with a gloomy expression.
”Senior Hu, what happened!” The yellow-clothed cultivator asked hurriedly.
”This place is really exposed! A group of hidden cultivators suddenly appeared outside attacking the spell formation outside the valley, not only are there those of the JieDan stage, it seems that there are also YuanYing stage old monsters involved. It looks like either the righteous alliance partner, or the devil’s six clans of people, other forces will never have such a big hand. Blue senior has gone out to preside over the formation, but the other side of the crowd, you a few also with me to go out to cope with it, here as long as to stay Wei brother can be a person. As for the matter of washing the eyes of these disciples, put it aside for now. Fellow Daoist Battle-axe, you will bring these disciples to the quiet room, and during this period, as long as anyone dares to enter the Sacred Tree Cave, Senior Brother Wei, you will just kill them.” The long-faced old man said under his breath with a murderous face.
”I know. Brother Hu, just lead the others to meet the enemy, I’ll keep an eye on this place.” A calm voice from the cloaked old man came from the light shield.
When the long-faced old man heard this, his expression slowed down as he nodded, and immediately led the gray-robed old man and the middle-aged man from the Hundred Coincidences Academy, hurriedly going out.
Seeing this, the yellow-clothed cultivator turned his face to Han Li and the other cadre of disciples and nonchalantly commanded, “You all heard it, the matter of washing the eyes, temporarily delayed, first follow me to the quiet room to hide for a moment or two.” He then left in large strides without looking back.
The young cultivators did not dare to slow down and hurriedly followed closely.
Seeing that Du Dong honestly followed the cadre of disciples out of the stone forest and out of the cave without any movement, Han Li could not help but secretly sneer as he also followed the crowd without moving.
Since even Du Dong, a person with bad intentions, was composed to this point, why should he be anxious. However, it was rare that what was happening outside was really related to this person, Du Dong. This time, it was also too opportune, Du Dong was here, and there was still no connection with the person outside? Han Li was still a bit puzzled in his heart.
A few moments later, ten disciples were yellow-clothed cultivator east and west turn a big circle, was sent into a larger stone room, and then instructed a few sentences, people hurriedly left. It was obvious that he intended to go over to help in the battle.
At this time, the bursting sound in the distance became a little louder, and the ground shook more and more, as if the outside was caught in a bitter battle.
Although these young disciples were a bit apprehensive, as soon as they saw the yellow-clothed cultivator leave, they unconsciously split into several piles according to sect and discussed in low voices.
The four of them, Han Li, Du Dong, the woman surnamed Mu, and Sun Huo, naturally stood together as well.
”I really didn’t expect that the Ancient Sword Sect’s Uncle Bai was actually a spy for the Righteous Alliance! Luckily, I used to think that he was also a loose cultivator originating from a JieDan cultivator, and I still had a lot of respect for him!” Sun Huo seemed to have smothered these words in his heart for a long time, and first said with a sigh.
”Senior brother Sun, do you really think it’s that easy for a loose cultivator to conjugate dan, without the support of a bigger family behind them, there are a few who have the chance to enter the conjugation stage. On the contrary, Sun Senior Brother is a real loose cultivator origin, I heard that there are quite a few families that have the intention of recruiting Senior Brother into the family. Why don’t you just pick one to join, and you’ll naturally have a lot of help in your cultivation in the future.” The woman surnamed Mu coldly glanced at the youth and said emotionlessly.
”Hehehe! Mister Sun really doesn’t believe that a cultivator has to have a family in order to form a dan. I’m not talented, but I don’t care to join any family.” The stoic-faced youth sneered and said with great bravado again.
Then he subconsciously took a few glances at the gorgeous and cold woman’s beautiful face, revealing a hint of eagerness in his eyes. However, the woman with the surname Mu seemed to feel nothing about it and did not interface anything further.
”However, this Senior Uncle Bai is also a pitiful person when all is said and done.” Du Dong even suddenly spoke from the side.
”Pitiful? Master Nephew Du, what do you mean by that.” Sun Huo could not help but be stunned at his words, with a hint of suspicion on his face. The woman with the surname Mu had a green light flowing in her bright eyes, and she similarly looked at the big man in front of her with a surprised expression on her face.
Du Dong smiled at his words, ignoring the duo in a reversal of his usual naive demeanor, instead, his gaze turned and he suddenly asked Han Li grimly, “Senior Brother Han, do you think there’s any truth in what Mister Du said?”
”I don’t know, I don’t know much about this Uncle Bai, how can I comment!” Seeing that the other party was directing his words towards himself, Han Li didn’t look the least bit alarmed and leisurely replied with an unchanged expression.
”Is that so? But how do I feel ……”
”Master Nephew Du, you’re too unbridled, didn’t you hear me ask you?”
When Du Dong wanted to say something more, Sun Huo on the side saw that this senior nephew even ignored his question, he could not help but reprimand somewhat huffily.
”What’s the point of speaking so loudly? It’s not like I don’t have long ears, I naturally heard your question, but I really have no interest in answering such nonsense.” Du Dong squinted at the youth, a cold aura flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly said with a scowl on his face.
”What, you ……”
”What exactly are you?” The woman with the surname Mu finally discovered that something was wrong, under the jade face sank, her slender hand quietly pressed on the storage bag, and asked in a cold voice.
The disciples of the other two factions, at this time also discovered the abnormality between them, were all somewhat surprised all looked over.
”Hehehe! The direct disciple of the Devil’s Path Thousand Illusions Sect, is this answer satisfactory to the two master nephews!” Suddenly a man’s words, from outside the room coldly came. Then “bang” a loud bang, the door of the quiet room instantly cracked into several pieces, debris scattered shooting.
Indoor disciples were all shocked, hurriedly took out their magic weapons, all made a vigilant attitude, a familiar man’s figure, appeared at the broken door.
”Uncle Bai!” An Ancient Sword Sect disciple, upon seeing this person, could not help but yell out of his mouth, and then his face changed drastically, full of disbelief.
The other disciples were equally dumbfounded and at a loss for words at the sudden appearance of the green-robed Confucian. They these people can see with their own eyes, when this person was restrained and then be confined, now how will appear here. And look at the other party’s energetic appearance, which has the slightest appearance of magic power is prohibited.
”How come? If he doesn’t show up again, we will act first.” As soon as Du Dong saw the white cultivator appear but without any surprise, he instead coldly questioned.
”Hmph! How do you know the power of that old monster’s sword silk. Although I had already prepared for it, I was really restrained at that time, if not for your repeated assurances that the other party’s scruples would never hurt my life, do you think I would cooperate with you?” The white-surnamed cultivator returned without politeness.
”Hehehe! We also didn’t expect that it was this old monster himself. However, everything is pretty much as expected, Uncle Burn and Senior Qin from your pavilion should be able to buy us enough time.”
As soon as they heard the question and answer between the two, the other young disciples did not know what had happened, but they also knew that something bad had happened. A disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect was also resourceful, and immediately transformed into a red light and rushed towards the direction of the stone gate with his weapon, intending to take the road and escape.
But this disciple only flew past the white cultivator’s side, the Confucian scholar’s face was a lifetime of fury, piercing white light flashed away.
Miserable screams rang out, the disciple and the magic weapon was instantly chopped into two, the dead body “plop” sound, fell to the ground.
