Chapter 561: An Unexpected Turn of Events

The person Yu Wushuang mistakenly thought was from the Three Realms and One City was naturally Xiao Mian.

It turned out that on the way to Yangguan using the Qingmu Flying Boat, Xiao Mian would land on the ground from time to time to find out the news from the places where the monks gathered.

The news that Hua Mancheng was trapped in the ancient city of Loulan had long been spread all over the Yangguan Avenue. After a little inquiry, Xiao Mian knew the whereabouts of Hua Mancheng.

He did not take the Qingmu Flying Boat and flew directly to the ancient city.

With a small number of people against a large number, Xiao Mian would naturally not be stupid enough to fight openly with the people of Zhishan Sect. While Yu Wushuang and Niu Shi were bickering with Hua Mancheng, Xiao Mian secretly sneaked into the defense line of the ancient city, and with a knife in his hand, he attacked two groups of Zhishan Sect believers.

However, the people sent out by Zhishan Sect this time were all Jindan cultivators, and they were all outstanding disciples among the younger generation of Zhishan Sect, with high cultivation and vigilance. Xiao Mian successfully killed one person in the first attack, and then he did not make any achievements.

In the second attack, Xiao Mian encountered Niu Shi.

As early as when he found out the whereabouts of Hua Mancheng, Xiao Mian had a general understanding of the troops sent out by Zhishan Sect this time. In addition, Niu Shi had a special appearance. At a glance, Xiao Mian guessed Niu Shi's identity. This is how he gave Niu Shi a warning with the force of thunder. If he could kill Niu Shi on the spot, Xiao Mian would naturally not hold back. However, Niu Shi was one of the three outstanding disciples of Zhishan Sect after all, and he was only injured but not killed.

After fighting with Niu Shi, Xiao Mian disappeared again.

As for Yu Wushuang, he was also in a dilemma at this time.

Just like Hua Mancheng said before, the trip to Longhutan was controlled by Yu Wushuang from beginning to end, and at the end, he was even accused of a false crime.

It took half a year and a lot of effort, but Yu Wushuang was determined to win.

It was not easy to trap Hua Mancheng in the ancient city of Loulan. As long as the seven-colored phantom barrier was broken, Hua Mancheng, who was at the end of his rope, could be easily killed. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, an accident still happened - and it was a big accident!

The young disciples of the Zhishan Sect who could defeat Niu Shi at the high level of Jindan in an instant, I am afraid that only Yu Wushuang could defeat Niu Shi in an instant!

Moreover, even if Yu Wushuang could defeat Niu Shi quickly, it was just because of her cultivation. What was the origin of this mysterious person who could defeat Niu Shi quickly at the middle level of Jindan?

Could it be that the Seven Emotions Demon Palace sent rescuers?

This is not right!

Although Hua Mancheng is not the only core disciple of the Seven Emotions Demon Palace, the fact that he was brought out by the Seven Emotions Demon Palace to support the stage shows that Hua Mancheng is quite powerful in the Seven Emotions Demon Palace. Even if the Seven Emotions Demon Palace sent other core disciples, they would definitely not be so brave.

Could it be that the Seven Emotions Demon Palace actually gave up its old face and sent out the cultivators of the previous generation?

Countless possibilities passed through her mind, but Yu Wushuang quickly accepted all these speculations in her heart, waved her folding fan, and quietly launched an attack on the ancient city of Loulan.

She actually planned to kill Hua Mancheng first regardless of Xiao Mian's sneak attack!

As long as Hua Mancheng died, there would be no evidence, and Yu Wushuang could cover the sky with one hand. At that time, even if the Seven Emotions Demon Palace wanted to avenge Hua Mancheng, the Zhishan Sect would stop it.

I think the Seven Emotions Demon Palace would not completely tear its face with the Zhishan Sect for a dead disciple, but if Hua Mancheng did not die today, there would be endless troubles!

It was not an easy task to break the Seven-Colored Magic God Barrier, and it was even more difficult to kill Hua Mancheng with Gui Hai's help. Conservatively speaking, even if Yu Wushuang could successfully kill Hua Mancheng and Gui Hai, the Zhishan Church members on the periphery would also suffer heavy casualties.

Yu Wushuang, this is to exchange life for life - the life of the Zhishan Church members in exchange for Hua Mancheng's life!

Sure enough, as soon as Yu Wushuang made a move, Xiao Mian used another killing move.

Yu Wushuang was unmoved and continued to attack the Seven-Colored Magic God Barrier - such a barrier that had been left over from ten thousand years ago was incomplete in itself. As long as the total amount of attacks it suffered accumulated to a certain limit, it would collapse on its own due to lack of energy.

Without the protection of the Seven-Colored Magic God Barrier, wouldn't Hua Mancheng be easy to capture?

Hua Mancheng was like a lost dog, panicking and not knowing where to go. He had no time to rest all the way. In addition, the guerrilla war lasted for a long time. Even if Hua Mancheng had sufficient supplies, he would have run out of supplies. On the other hand, Yu Wushuang was hiding in the dark, recuperating, and had sufficient supplies. In addition, the realm of the two was one level apart. So it was unclear whether Hua Mancheng could survive three moves under Yu Wushuang.

Yu Wushuang was decisive, but Niu Shi was in a dilemma.

If he went to the periphery to intercept the assassin, with the help of many Zhishan sect members, he could certainly stop the man's evil deeds, but in that case, Yu Wushuang would have to deal with Gui Hai and Hua Mancheng alone. If Niu Shi stayed by Yu Wushuang's side, Yu Wushuang would be fine, but those Zhishan sect members would inevitably suffer heavy casualties at the hands of the evildoer.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a white light flew straight over the ancient city of Loulan.

The sound arrived before the light.

"Brother Niu! Go and protect my disciples of Zhishan Sect. I will be here to defend my elder sister!"

"Second elder sister? Are you finally out of seclusion?"

"That man is slaughtering my disciples of Zhishan Sect wantonly. Brother Niu, why don't you go!"

"Yes!"

Niu Shi is pure by nature. He couldn't bear to see his fellow disciples being slaughtered by that hateful assassin. Now that he saw his second elder sister coming to the danger, he naturally withdrew immediately.

Niu Shi's second elder sister is naturally Liu Suyi!

Few people in Zhishan Sect knew about Liu Suyi being poisoned by Yu Wushuang. To the outside world, Liu Suyi naturally claimed that she was in seclusion to seek a breakthrough. Now that she has successfully used the red peach poison to suppress the green radish poison, she naturally wants to break out of seclusion and win back everything she has.

Speaking of Yu Wushuang, when she first saw Liu Suyi, even she was calm and composed, her face changed.

Closing the folding fan, Yu Wushuang actually stopped attacking the seven-color phantom god barrier, and turned to look at Liu Suyi with an uncertain expression, but Liu Suyi just smiled faintly.

"A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. Why don't you just make a move, Senior Sister?"

"... Junior Sister, you came at a perfect time!"

"There is no such thing as a coincidence! Just like the night before the election of the goddess, I was suddenly poisoned. How could it be described by just one word of coincidence?"

"Let's talk about the past between you and me later. This Hua Mancheng is indeed the future enemy of our Zhishan Sect. Junior Sister, can you help me get rid of this guy first?"

"Are you begging me, Senior Sister?"

"How about this? Let me make a bet with you: whoever can kill Hua Mancheng today will be the current goddess of Zhishan Sect. How about that?" Yu Wushuang's words not only stunned Liu Suyi, but also made Hua Mancheng's face change greatly - although this sentimental young man is idle on weekdays, he is actually an extremely aloof person. How can he endure such a fate of being used as a bet? Before Hua Mancheng could curse, Gui Hai grabbed his sleeve and whispered something. Hua Mancheng was stunned, but didn't say anything else. At this moment, Liu Suyi looked at Yu Wushuang and asked solemnly, "Are you serious about what you said, Senior Sister?"

"Absolutely true!"

"It's a deal!"

At that moment, Yu Wushuang and Liu Suyi started to attack the Seven-Colored Illusionary God Boundary at the same time - these two people actually took Hua Mancheng as a bet for the goddess!

Hua Mancheng was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, but he could do nothing about it.

However, when he thought of Gui Hai's words before, Hua Mancheng felt relieved.

Xiao Mian is here!

Although Hua Mancheng didn't know Xiao Mian's true identity, he knew Xiao Mian's strength - he dared to fight against the monk Hui Jing with the cultivation of the middle level of Jindan! Putting aside the other Jindan cultivators of Zhishan Sect, at least in terms of top combat power, Hua Mancheng's side is not much different from Yu Wushuang and others, and at least they can fight.

At worst, fight to the death!

Seeing Yu Wushuang and Liu Suyi join forces to attack the colorful phantom barrier, Hua Mancheng calmed down, sat cross-legged and meditated to recover his true energy.

Let's talk about Xiao Mian again. He was fighting with Niu Shi.

Five Spirit Sword, Soft Tongue Whip, Ice Soul Finger, Heart Breaking Fist, Dragon King Secret Scroll, Peng King Secret Scroll...

Various magic weapons and magical powers took turns to fight, killing Niu Shi's blood.

Gradually, under Xiao Mian's seduction, Niu Shi moved away from the ancient city defense line.

After a long time, Niu Shi also noticed Xiao Mian's intention, but he was not alert, but relieved. Outside the ancient city defense line, although there were many Zhishan Sect believers who could help Niu Shi attack Xiao Mian, those monks were more likely to cause trouble than help. There were several times when, despite Niu Shi's rescue, many Zhishan Sect believers were injured by Xiao Mian. Fortunately, Niu Shi tied up most of Xiao Mian's energy, so there was no death.

Now that he was far away from the defense line of the ancient city, Niu Shi could give it a try.

Unexpectedly, just when Niu Shi was about to fight Xiao Mian with real swords and guns, Xiao Mian also tore off his disguise and smiled at Niu Shi.

Niu Shi was confused by Xiao Mian's smile, but he also instinctively felt that something was wrong.

The next moment, a golden bell suddenly appeared and trapped Niu Shi in it. Then, one golden bell after another suddenly condensed from the void, like making dumplings, surrounding Niu Shi. Niu Shi's figure was almost invisible in the layers of golden light. At this moment, Xiao Mian actually launched hundreds of Five Spirits Golden Bell Covers!

This was also because Xiao Mian's true essence was strong enough, and the number of divine thoughts was amazing, so he dared to do so recklessly. Otherwise, if it was someone else, he would have drained himself before trapping Niu Shi. But even Xiao Mian had to swallow a Wu Leak Zi to restore his true essence after sending out these hundreds of Five Spirits Golden Bell Covers. He waved his hand at Niu Shi and Xiao Mian disappeared.

Niu Shi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he couldn't break through the hundreds of layers of the Five Spirits Golden Bell Cover for a while - conservatively estimated, it would take him a quarter of an hour to get out of the trap!

A quarter of an hour is enough for a Jindan cultivator to do a lot of things!

Niu Shi didn't know that the reason why Xiao Mian spent so much effort to trap him was not because he didn't have the ability to kill him. On the contrary, for Xiao Mian, killing Niu Shi was much easier than trapping him. There was a reason why he only trapped him but didn't kill him.

In the first confrontation, Niu Shi was injured by Xiao Mian in a single encounter, not because he was weak, but because he wanted to save a member of the Zhishan Sect. It was that tiny action that made Niu Shi bear Xiao Mian's heavy punch, but also made Xiao Mian respect this big fool - in this world of intrigue and deceit, even blood relatives can't be trusted, this big fool actually knows how to sacrifice himself to save others?

It was this perception that made Xiao Mian have good thoughts about Niu Shi.

What Xiao Mian wanted was just an opportunity to rescue Gui Hai.

Hua Man Cheng? What does it matter to Xiao Mian whether that bastard is dead or alive?
