In mid-air, the three great masters of Mulan and the three great monks of Tiannan were facing each other.
The two sides looked at each other for a while, and Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong took the lead and said:
"Why are these fellow Taoists so stubborn? As long as we give up half of Tiannan's territory to our clan, we can stop this war and turn enemies into friends. Otherwise, after this battle, no matter whether we win or lose, the Tiannan Immortal World will definitely be destroyed.
The vitality is severely damaged!"
"It's a joke. It's true that our Tiannan Immortal Realm will be severely damaged, but if you Mulan people fail in this battle, you will be exterminated. You should be the ones who are worried, right?" Wei Wuya smiled coldly and said directly
countered.
"It seems that there is no room for negotiation at all, so we can only fight to the death!" The skinny old man shook his head with a 'regretful' look on his face, and continued,
"As agreed, we will start a gambling battle first. You and I will jointly send people to set up a ban. No matter how much we win or lose, as soon as the gambling battle is over, we will let it go!"
"No problem, but where is the prisoner you promised? If you don't see anyone..." Hehuan Laomo stared at the other party with a cold light in his eyes.
The skinny old man was not upset at all. He transmitted a few words to the direction behind him. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the team of magicians. Then, hundreds of monks with bare hands and nothing but clothes were pushed out of the queue.
.
The Mulan people were too poor. You can imagine what happened to these people who became prisoners. All valuable things were plundered by the other party.
The loss of the treasure is secondary, the more important thing is the face.
Immortal cultivators have always been proud, and most of the captured disciples were not ordinary disciples. But now they are displayed in an extremely embarrassed state in front of all the forces in Tiannan. It is so embarrassing.
Even if he can be successfully rescued this time, he will be under tremendous pressure when facing others in the future.
Among these people, disciples from the Nine Nations Alliance accounted for the majority, and there were also a few from the four major forces. When Fang showed up, he was immediately recognized by his familiar classmates.
When the three monks saw this, they immediately looked at each other and then nodded with a slightly calm expression.
"You guys have seen me, can we start now?" Master Bi was a little impatient and urged immediately.
"Your Excellency, you are so impatient? Is there something fishy about this gambling battle?" Wei Wuya narrowed his eyes slightly and asked directly.
"If you don't dare to bet, just say so. Why bother asking around? Or just kill all these people to sacrifice the flag. It would be easier for us to start a war directly!" How could Master Bi not hear the other party's probing intention?
Instead, he directly threatened.
"Your Excellency is threatening us!" Wei Wuya's eyes flashed coldly.
"It's not a threat, but if you are not willing to wager a battle, then there is no use keeping these people. It would be good to kill the sacrificial flag and use it to boost morale." The skinny old man's expression remained unchanged, but his voice was sinister.
of a few points.
Obviously, the Mulan people were confident that the other party would not give up on these disciples, so they were confident. This was also true. No one in Tiannan dared to agree to do this, otherwise they would definitely become the target of public criticism.
"We can agree to the gambling battle, but we need to release these disciples first." Master Zhiyang spoke again, breaking the somewhat stagnant atmosphere.
"My fellow Taoist, your words are a bit fanciful, right? If you really let me go, will you still agree to bet that the battle will fail?"
"But we can't trust you either. What if the gambling war ends and you don't keep your promise?"
"Even so, we..."
"Okay!" The skinny old man interrupted Master Bi's words, and then said in a cold tone,
"Needless to say these useless words, it is impossible to release them all, but we are willing to make a concession and release 30% of the prisoners first. The rest can only be determined by winning or losing as agreed. This is already our bottom line
, if you still don’t agree, then just go back and start the war immediately.”
"Thirty percent?" Wei Wuya frowned, exchanged a few words with the two people beside him, and then agreed,
"That's it. You release them immediately, and we will start to set up restrictions here."
"Can!"
After the conditions were negotiated, the six of them returned to their camps.
The Mulan people did not waste any time, and within a short time, 30% of the prisoners were released from their restraints.
Finally able to regain their freedom, these people were naturally overjoyed and flew to the other side impatiently.
Naturally, Tiannan Fang had already made arrangements. Before these people could rush into the camp, hundreds of monks immediately came to greet them. After careful inspection, they confirmed that there were no spies and no hands or feet were left on the body.
Let them return to the camp with confidence.
This scene was naturally seen by the three great masters of Mulan. Fortunately, they did not do any tricks, otherwise it would be really difficult to pass this level.
After the captive monks were released, the next step was the gambling battle.
A group of monks and mages who had been arranged in advance flew out of the camp, landed in the center of the armies of both sides, and then divided into ten places and began to set up magic circles.
These are the formation masters of both sides. Although the prohibition barrier to be deployed is very powerful, it is not a special formation. With these people's formation skills, if the other side does something, they will not be able to hide it.
However, the more this happened, the more suspicious the Tiannan side became. The Mulan people mobilized their troops to promote this gambling war. It was absolutely impossible for them to just compete in an arena. There must be some conspiracy.
"Junior Brother Mo, did you see anything?" Old Demon Hehuan noticed Mo Juren's calm expression from beginning to end and couldn't help blurting out.
"If several fellow Taoists can't figure it out, how can Mr. Mo figure it out?" Mo Juren shook his head slightly, looking helpless.
None of the ten monks participating in the gambling fight had a simple existence. Even if the Yinluo Sect's secret technique was not simple, it could not trap them. It was only a matter of time before they came out.
Moreover, he also gave Han Li the 'Mountain-Suppressing Pearl'. With the power of this treasure and the other party's other methods, it would not be difficult to break through those barriers, and he could also help with the rescue.
In this case, he will naturally not reveal anything, and it is not easy to explain.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the Hehuan Old Demon nodded subconsciously. This answer was reasonable. After all, even if the opponent could defeat the later monks with powerful secret techniques and magic weapons, he couldn't be too outrageous. He knew everything.
The reason why he spoke just now was purely on a whim and to subconsciously test a sentence.
The arrangement of the formation was very smooth, especially under the premise that both sides did not hesitate to spend a lot of precious materials. In just a quarter of an hour, ten small formations with a faint white light were formed.
Immediately afterwards, the formation masters from both sides began to activate the formation together, and ten white light masks covering an area of 70 to 80 feet appeared one after another.
After checking again in detail and confirming that there were no problems, these array masters withdrew one after another. At the same time, ten more monks and wizards in the alchemy stage came forward again, standing in pairs on ten light shields.
Before.
These people are responsible for controlling the operation of the formation, and one of them, a monk in the alchemy stage, is none other than Yan Wanxi.
This was what Yan Wanxi took the initiative to find Mo Juren and specifically requested it last night. In her words, since Master Uncle Han was going to participate in the gambling battle, he naturally needed to control the formation to feel at ease.
Of course, this was only one of the reasons. The more important thing was that this decisive battle was a rare opportunity for training, and she did not want to give it up. The reason why she violated her teacher's orders that day and agreed to come with the two aunts was also for this purpose.
When it comes to the heart of the Dao, Yan Wanxi is much firmer than her two elders, Lin Ying'er and Xiao Cui'er. Therefore, last night, she braved the pressure of being punished again by her master and took the initiative to come to the door.
Mo Juren also didn't expect that this girl would be so stubborn, which made him feel helpless.
Although he reproaches him openly for such a character, he actually likes it in his heart. With such a firm Taoist heart, coupled with excellent qualifications, the higher his achievements will be in the future.
This is very similar to Han Li. He doesn't have to worry about his cultivation at all. In contrast, the two girls Lin Ying'er and Xiao Cui'er are somewhat unqualified.
That is to say, if they meet a master like him, otherwise the limit of the two girls' life is estimated to be the elixir formation period, and then they will get married and have children, until they die hundreds of years later.
There is no doubt about this, but if you become his disciple, your destiny will naturally change accordingly.
Talking about the gambling battle, it actually doesn't matter whether Yan Wanxi goes to the front or not. After all, the Mulan people have to do something, and the monks outside who are responsible for controlling the formation have almost no effect.
However, he still agreed to the other party's request, and while giving him many life-saving trump cards, he also gave some special instructions.
Naturally, Yan Wanxi did not dare to disobey her master's order again, and immediately agreed seriously. At the same time, she looked at the treasures in her hands, and her heart became more and more moved.
Somewhere in the team, Han Li, who also noticed Yan Wanxi, did not hesitate and immediately turned into a blue rainbow and flew away quickly. The other monks participating in the gambling fight also started to take action.
At the same time, ten figures also flew out of the mage camp on the opposite side, but they were all covered in black robes, their faces could not be seen clearly, and their whole bodies were filled with strong demonic energy.
"Demon cultivator from the Great Jin Dynasty!" Wei Wuya narrowed his eyes slightly, and at the same time released his spiritual consciousness to explore, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything strange. The Master Zhiyang and the old demon Hehuan beside him were no exception, both of them looked gloomy.
.
Not only them, Mo Juren was also looking carefully, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Yinluo Sect's method was indeed not simple, even he couldn't see anything from such a distance.
"Everyone is at the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul. Isn't it too coincidental?" Hehuan Laomo frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"There is indeed something wrong." Master Zhiyang nodded.
"The monks we sent are mainly in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but the opponent does not have any middle stage monks. Either they are really confident and feel that they can compete with the middle stage monks with the peak of the early stage, or they have other purposes."
"No matter what the purpose is, this gambling battle is inevitable. Fortunately, the people we sent are not weak. Plus we have made preparations in advance, there should be no problems." Wei Wuya sighed.
This is also true. We have reached this point and it is unrealistic to stop it immediately. We can only wait and see what happens.
At this time, the two parties in the bet had exchanged the bets prepared in advance. After some inspection, there was indeed no problem. Even though the Mulan people provided a small variety of materials, there was no discount in value.
At this point, the gambling war officially began.
The monks and mages responsible for controlling the formation also recited incantations almost at the same time, and kept making seals with their hands. As a spell entered the formation, the white light shield flashed a few times and then disappeared.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, both parties involved in the fight swayed and appeared within the magic circle. At the same time, the white mask of light emerged again, completely isolating the inside and outside.
The battlefield suddenly became extremely quiet. All the monks and magicians were silent. They held their breath subconsciously and stared intently at the vague figures inside the light shield.
However, in just a blink of an eye, the mutation suddenly appeared, and no one knew what happened inside. The originally white light shield was instantly infected by blood, and no trace of it could be seen anymore.
Obviously, this was the manipulation of the Mulan people. Even if the formation outside stopped, it still had no effect. On the contrary, the magician on the opposite side had already expected it. The moment the change occurred, he immediately flew back.
camp.
No matter what happened inside, it is a fact that our ten Yuanying Stage powerhouses were trapped, and they were not ordinary Yuanying Stage monks, they were real elites.
Seeing this scene, Wei Wuya and others naturally couldn't sit still, and together with Mo Juren, they immediately escaped from the camp.
"Everyone, get down! You can't handle this anymore." Above the magic circle, looking at the blood-red light barrier below, Master Zhiyang said with a cold face.
Naturally, the monks in the alchemy stage below did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly drove away in the light. Yan Wanxi glanced at her master, and also returned to the rear.
In the mage camp, seeing that the plan was completed, the skinny old man and others all showed excitement. Even when the four major monks on the opposite side came out together, they still did not worry at all.
According to what the Yin Luo Sect Master said, the defensive power of this thing is so amazing that even a strong person in the late Nascent Soul stage would not be able to break through it in a short time.
"If this 'blood cover' is really what Sect Master Fang said, it can trap those ten Nascent Soul Stage monks for half a day, the strength of the Tiannan side will be greatly reduced. This half day is enough for us to decide the outcome with the opponent.
Yeah!" The skinny old man laughed loudly.
"I wish you, fellow Taoist, to rest assured! This Blood Mask is one of the six secret techniques of our sect. Not only does it require the sacrifice of ten blood corpses that have been kept in captivity for hundreds of years, but in order to prevent the other party from becoming suspicious, these blood corpses are also specially given magic pills.
Then let ten Nascent Soul stage experts, including myself, take action at the same time and use awareness to control them, so that they can be hidden from the opponent's detection.
Not only that, we have even discarded that ray of spiritual consciousness. After so much effort, we are naturally sure that even a strong person in the late Nascent Soul stage can't break through it without spending much mana and half a quarter of an hour.
Open, and will you give them a chance?" The man in black robe glanced at the old man and replied with a sneer.
As if to verify what the man in black robe said, Master Zhiyang in the distance rushed directly towards a blood shield, and struck it with a dazzling sword energy with his hand.
There was a loud rumble, but the blood shield only trembled slightly and quickly returned to its original state.
Seeing this scene, the smiles on the faces of the skinny old man and others became more intense, and they were about to say something else, but the next scene they saw suddenly made everyone's expressions change dramatically.
