“How is everything going?”
Inside the Yellow Wind Cave.
The members of the Blood Oath Alliance, including Xue Linglong and Feng Lin, were gathered together, looking at Zheng Jun in the center.
“There are too many powerful existences involved; the heavenly fate is completely obscured…”
Zheng Jun frowned, putting away the turtle shell and coins, clearly unsatisfied with the results of his divination: “What about the scouts we sent out?”
“Neither our people nor the subordinates of that Yellow-Furred Monster have been found…”
Xue Linglong bit her cherry lip: “And at the other dozen major array nodes, fierce battles have already broken out… Could this mean that those Revenants have discovered us and redirected their attacks?”
“If they did redirect their attacks, the Poisonous Dragon Pool guarded by General Qing Shan isn’t very far from here, and his abilities are only slightly superior to the Yellow-Furred Monster. He has been sending out distress signals repeatedly, obviously barely holding on…”
Zheng Jun hesitated for a moment: “This is not impossible, but if we split our forces according to the enemy’s intention, wouldn’t that fall right into their trap?”
“Even if it is a trap, so what?”
Feng Lin seemed quite contemptuous: “Does any of us fear those insects?”
“This person, ever since he transplanted his bloodline, seems to have become as stupid as a bull…”
Zheng Jun inwardly rolled his eyes, glancing at Xue Linglong. To him, she was the truly dangerous one.
“Perhaps… even if we don’t want to split our forces, we might have no choice!”
Xue Linglong smiled and pointed outside the cave: “Look!”
A group of minor demons and monsters, under Zheng Jun’s astonished gaze, rushed toward the Poisonous Dragon Pool.
“Cursed! Fools are beyond my counsel!”
Zheng Jun gritted his teeth furiously: “Has this Yellow-Furred Monster gone mad?”
“My lord has given an order!”
However, the blow from reality was even greater. A creature very similar to a blue wolf, but with slightly shorter forelimbs, ran over, speaking quite fluently: “You are ordered to immediately dispatch forces to reinforce the Poisonous Dragon Pool!”
This was a Jiao Bei, known for cooperating with wolves, hence the saying “wolf and Bei in collusion.”
This animal, naturally cunning, had greatly enhanced intelligence after becoming a monster. This one was the strategist of the Yellow-Furred Monster, known as “Master Bei.”
“Should we also dispatch forces?”
Zheng Jun was so angry his face turned pale, almost wishing to send this wolf-and-Bei conspirator to hell with a single spell.
If they truly acted, not only would these minor monsters be no match for them, but even the Yellow-Furred Monster might not get the upper hand.
But behind him stood the shadow of Heishan Jun.
This powerful threat forced them to restrain themselves, making them painfully aware of the helplessness of the system.
Within the Blood Oath Alliance, they held high positions and used their resources and connections to force their subordinates to constantly sacrifice themselves.
But now, within the Heishan system, they were merely outsiders who barely managed to join. They could not expect any benefits, yet they were inevitably burdened with such tasks, and they could not resist. Resistance would be seen as open rebellion, cutting themselves off from Heishan.
“Brother Feng, what if I go to the Poisonous Dragon Pool?”
Zheng Jun sighed inwardly, trying to figure out how to minimize the losses. Pretending to ask, he turned his eyes.
“You go? Why should you go?”
Feng Lin indeed widened his eyes: “I just happen to feel itchy; I’ll go to the Poisonous Dragon Pool and see how strong these natives of this world really are… and how strong they are!”
He wasn’t completely foolish, managing to swallow the words “Revenants” just in time in front of Master Bei.
“In that case, younger brother wishes you success, Brother Feng!”
Zheng Jun smiled, already no longer regarding this person as a threat.
A brute with strength but no brains would always end up being used and stirring up trouble, no matter where he was.
…
“Indeed… that Yellow-Furred Monster couldn’t help but split his forces!”
On a distant hilltop, several people, including Gong Yunshang, watched this scene with expressions of excitement: “What should we do next?”
“Of course, we strike directly!”
Wu Ming lightly laughed: “After all, we did sign the Zhengyi Alliance Oath, right?”
Although the alliance stipulated mutual support, delaying for a short while was still within reasonable limits. However, if they didn’t act or even switched sides directly, it would become problematic.
But for the Revenants with many tricks, it was merely a minor problem.
The solution was simple. The opponents were all straightforward monsters, so no sophisticated tactics were needed.
Now, the effect looked quite good.
When the patrolling monsters below noticeably decreased, Wu Ming nodded: “Begin!”
“Release!”
At this moment, Xu Ziquan, holding a magical seal, shouted. Instantly, several figures appeared out of nowhere, causing the minor demons to cry out in alarm.
“The Legalist’s ‘Imprisonment within a Drawn Circle’ technique can be used like this? Truly eye-opening!”
Gong Yunshang smiled.
Earlier, it was Xu Ziquan who had used the ‘Imprisonment within a Drawn Circle’ technique to enclose the four of them. The effect surpassed ordinary illusion techniques by several degrees. Neither the patrolling minor demons nor the members of the Blood Oath Alliance had detected them.
Gulu! Gulu!
When other monsters saw the four suddenly appearing from the void, they roared and were about to charge, but they saw a giant fireball rolling rapidly on the ground. Where it passed, everything turned black, igniting nearby dry wood.
Moreover, Wu Ming and the others continued to throw torches, setting the forest ablaze.
Although the dense fog in Heishan made it difficult for flames to spread, pouring oil on the fire made it different.
Furthermore, once the fire spread, it would be even harder to extinguish.
“Aowww!”
Wild beasts fear fire. Even after becoming monsters, some innate instincts couldn’t be changed. The group of minor demons immediately fell into chaos.
In ancient times, harnessing natural forces meant using water and fire!
Wu Ming hadn’t yet mastered flooding techniques, but he was quite skilled in arson.
The fire spread rapidly, aided by the wind, quickly approaching the Yellow Wind Cave, burning the beasts so severely that they fled in panic.
In this fire, the most deadly aspect wasn’t the flames themselves, but the dense, toxic smoke, which caused even more damage than the fire.
At this moment, a large amount of smoke rushed into the Yellow Wind Cave, immediately followed by several furious roars.
This was also one of Wu Ming’s objectives.
Otherwise, a single Yellow-Furred Monster, along with the high-ranking members of the Blood Oath Alliance, hiding in the heavily fortified Yellow Wind Cave, would be more than enough to end several lives.
Bang!
A burst of yellow light immediately shot out from the cave, followed by a shout. An invisible ripple spread out, clearing an open space at the cave entrance.
Even for monsters, unless they had reached a transcendent level, they would still be affected by fire and smoke.
“Daring cultivators! How dare you disturb my cave!”
A monster general wearing a yellow robe, resembling a human in appearance but with yellow fur and patterns on his face, roared furiously. It was undoubtedly the Yellow-Furred Monster.
Behind this monster stood Zheng Jun and Xue Linglong, looking somewhat sooty and disheveled.
“This…”
The other minor monsters were one thing, but the auras of Zheng Jun and Xue Linglong caused Xu Ziquan and the others’ expressions to change instantly: “This… these are Revenants, and senior members of the Blood Oath Alliance!”
Recalling Feng Lin, who had left with his team, their hearts sank like ice: “Damn! The Blood Oath Alliance actually sent three elders this time! What a massive effort!”
In contrast, when Wu Ming saw these two, he felt slightly relieved.
Because in his Divine Eye, although their auras were still powerful, they had not yet reached a level that would make him feel deeply threatened.
“You…”
Zheng Jun stepped forward, about to speak, when suddenly a very dangerous feeling enveloped his entire body, causing him to instinctively retreat without thinking.
“Edict! Thunder!”
Wu Ming’s wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, his robes swelling with wind and thunder. In his consciousness, the cloud-script thunder talisman representing the Five Thunder Palm Technique suddenly moved, and a thick bolt of lightning flew from his palm, sweeping across.
Zila!
The dazzling electric light instantly formed a circle, carrying annihilating power, surrounding the group on the other side.
“Thunder Technique!”
The Yellow-Furred Monster cried out, a layer of earth-yellow light appearing on his body, but it was quickly shattered by the electric sparks. His fur turned black, and he rapidly retreated.
“It’s actually a Taoist specialized in Thunder Techniques!”
Zheng Jun retreated while screaming inwardly, knowing only too well how devastating such Taoists could be.
“Kill!”
But in the next moment, Wu Ming’s figure had already followed closely, launching an attack.
After the Five Thunder Palm Technique reached the Yunlei realm, it underwent a qualitative change. In Wu Ming, martial arts and Taoist techniques were perfectly integrated.
At this moment, he struck again, thunder flashing, electric light condensing into real palm imprints, as if the power of the underworld had reappeared!
“Heaven and earth, the five elements, the five extremes and five spirits, transform into my armor!”
Zheng Jun silently recited the incantation in his mind. In his consciousness, a talisman representing the seed of the five elements instantly exploded, transforming into a virtual armor filled with five-colored spiritual light, covering his entire body.
This “Return to Origin Five Spirit Armor” was neither a magical artifact nor not a magical artifact. It could be nurtured within the consciousness and had astonishing defensive power. It could be summoned with a single thought, making it a hidden trump card he had kept secret.
But now, under the threat of death and the intense alarm in his heart, he immediately activated it without hesitation.
“The Five Elements Spirit Armor?”
Seeing Zheng Jun’s reaction, the corner of Wu Ming’s mouth curved into a slight smile. His consciousness instantly connected with the Su Hou Pearl. Above his head, the golden-blue aura transformed into a dragon, roaring at Zheng Jun.
Kacha!
The dragon’s aura suppressed the five elements, forbidding all techniques. Although in the mortal world, Zheng Jun’s Five Elements Spirit Armor still hesitated, its light flickered, and it seemed about to collapse.
“Die!”
In Zheng Jun’s terrified gaze, the thunder-charged hand instantly broke through the armor, striking his chest. Violent thunder instantly swept through, annihilating all the vitality in his internal organs!
Peng!
His body fell to the ground like a broken sack, roaring as if wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
“It’s actually the dragon’s aura… a thunder Taoist… I can’t accept it… I still have great ambitions unfulfilled, and my younger brother’s revenge…”
Until now, he still didn’t know that Wu Ming was the one who had killed Zheng Qian!
Zheng Jun’s eyes dimmed, and after a breath, he closed his eyes forever.
