The first attack failed, and countless magical powers and spells came from all directions. For Nangong Mengxiang, these could be directly resisted, but the actor could not resist, and could only be forced to retreat and avoid them.
"People from Juexiao Sect..."
Luo Xue's eyes sank slightly, she turned her head slightly and looked at Li Guijiao beside her.
Li Guijiao also recognized the aura of these people's martial arts, and her mouth opened wide enough to swallow an egg.
"Okay, it seems to be the senior brothers and sisters..."
"I know."
Luo Xue said in a low voice.
"Junior Sister, what I mean is that they should be from Mingshuijian..."
Li Guijiao looked at them one by one and reported the names of these Juexiao Sect's spies.
"Zhou Ping, Yuan Li, He Buyi, Xu Keke... they were all disciples of Mingshuijian who were expelled from the sect hundreds of years ago."
"Hundreds of years ago?"
Luo Xue's pupils shrank slightly. This time seems a bit sensitive.
"Yes, it was that rebellion." Li Guijiao's eyes dimmed a little.
"Let's not worry about that for now. They are here to kill me anyway." Luo Xue exhaled, "Let's go back to the formation first. It's just right that these people are fighting."
“There’s no going back.”
A familiar deep voice sounded behind her, and Luo Xue subconsciously tensed her body.
But he soon relaxed again.
I'm still not used to it, it's exactly like the master... .
Master Zou came out and said solemnly,
"Someone is trying to crack the formation. The sect protection formation is close to collapse. Only the core refining formation is still barely maintaining."
"How long will it take to complete the refining?" Luo Xue asked.
"About a hundred breaths, but it's too late." Master Zou pondered, "Unless... this puppet is sacrificed. Because when the formation was constructed, the center of the formation was connected to this puppet, which can temporarily speed up the refining process."
"Let's just speed up." Luo Xue made a prompt decision, "In short, we must refine the elixir first, otherwise we won't be able to break the current situation."
Master Zou nodded and returned to the formation.
“Success!”
The storyteller put away the compass and smiled slightly.
He looked at the gradually collapsing sect protection formation not far away and sighed,
“With the current environment of our Juexiao Sect, it is surprising that such a genius can be born. If he can experience the trials of the great war between immortals and demons, even the peerless swordsman from thousands of years ago would be amazed by him.”
The collapsed protective formation completely crushed the Evil Spirit Sect's base. The escaping spiritual energy disturbed the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even temporarily formed a space where magical powers could not be used.
This was right within the storyteller's calculations, and he caused the formation to collapse in order to subdue everyone and complete the task in one fell swoop.
In an instant, the indiscriminate bombardment of magical powers stopped, only the sword of Juexiao Sect remained sharp.
The sword intent will not be affected by the environment.
"Draw your sword!"
The farmer, who had been fighting with his sword in its scabbard, finally drew his sword, and his old body seemed to grow taller at this moment.
He took a step forward and followed his intuition to explore the ruins of the formation.
At the same time, the other spies of Juexiao Sect also caught their breath, and taking advantage of the moment when the cultivators of Demon Abyss were silent, they immediately advanced forward.
"Draw your sword!"
"Draw your sword!"
Countless sword lights flashed by, and half of the Jindan demon cultivators were seriously injured. Even two weaker ones died on the spot, and their blood and flesh turned into rain and scattered on the ruins of the Evil Spirit Gate.
"I found you."
The farmer closed his eyes and muttered softly.
The sword had already shown him the direction.
He slowly opened his eyes, trying to see clearly who the traitor was who was ordered to be killed by the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement.
But the next moment, the farmer's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
"Zong, Zongzhun?"
A middle-aged man stood inside the refining formation, and his figure gradually faded away.
Next to them were Luo Xue, the other two, and the farmer, staring at each other.
"I was seen after all. Will my master scold me when I get back..."
Li Guijiao said in a low voice.
"Let's worry about whether we can go back first."
Luo Xue curled the corners of her mouth.
Taking advantage of the farmer's moment of distraction, Nangong Mengxiang did not hesitate, took a step forward and punched him.
But the farmer quickly recovered, gently raised his sword to block it, and casually killed Nangong Mengxiang with one sword.
Ordinary magical powers could hardly hurt Nangong Mengxiang now. Even if Wu Hai, who had seriously injured her before, was here, a full-strength attack would inevitably make Nangong Mengxiang lose her combat effectiveness.
But the farmer just swung the sword casually, and Nangong Mengxiang fell to the ground instantly.
"You can withstand my sword, not bad." The farmer glanced at Nangong Mengxiang nonchalantly, and then looked at Master Zou again, "So it's just a puppet, a naughty kid, how dare you... "
Before the farmer could finish his words, Li Guijiao took out the puppet of the Great Law Enforcement Elder.
Chapter 116: West, Always West
"Master Zou can no longer hold on. We can only use other puppets to hold on."
While Li Guijiao was taking out the puppet, she immediately started to maintain the refining formation which was just one point away from completion.
Among the puppets she escaped from, the Law Enforcement Hall's Grand Elder, Hanlingya Peak Master Xi Xiaofeng, and even her master, Mingshuijian Peak Master Heipao were not spared.
If Li Guijiao had not seen Luo Huaxin before, Luo Xue suspected that her adopted mother would not be able to escape the fate of being made into a puppet.
At this time, the farmer was completely numb. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Li Guijiao deeply.
Then he turned to look at Luo Xue, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Are you the traitor?"
"If my identity as a traitor was designated by the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement, then that is it."
Luo Xue said, with an expression that was unexpectedly indifferent and calm.
Now Luo Xue’s strength has reached the late stage of Soul Condensation, and she has enough cultivation foundation, so it doesn’t matter even if she dies here.
It’s just a pity that I couldn’t uncover the truth about Master Fengyin’s death, and I couldn’t see Xiaoyao again.
"The Grand Law Enforcement Elder holds the power to enforce the law in Juexiao Sect, so there is nothing wrong with designating the traitor as such."
The farmer was only slightly surprised, and soon drew his sword again.
"Since this is a mission assigned by the higher-ups, we are the swords of the Sword Sect, our weapons, and it is our duty to carry out the mission... I hope you can understand."
Whether she understood it or not, dying on a mission seemed to be Luo Xue's only fate.
At this time, Li Guijiao activated all the puppets and they all attacked the farmer.
But the farmer was unmoved by these puppets that looked like high-ranking members of the Juexiao Sect. With a few strikes of his sword, the puppet remains were scattered all over the ground.
"Young people should respect their elders. What you did is wrong." The farmer said to Li Guijiao patiently, "Even if the puppet's appearance needs to be disguised, it is better to use the enemy's."
As he spoke, he drew his sword from its sheath towards Luo Xue.
"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more..."
Li Guijiao had no idea what the farmer was saying; she was concentrating on the refining formation.
The formation was only a little bit away from condensing the elixir, and it would be completed in less than ten breaths.
but...
The farmer will not give Luo Xue another ten breaths of time.
The sword light spurted out.
"No-"
With a heart-wrenching scream, Li Guijiao leaped up and blocked the sword light.
Seeing this scene, the farmer's pupils shrank slightly and he wanted to retract the sword.
The person he wanted to kill was Luo Xue, but he didn't want to attack another genius from Juexiao Sect.
But the spiritual power has already left the body, how can it be easily taken back
The sword light directly penetrated Li Guijiao's body, and her body fell into the refining formation like a kite with a broken string, and disappeared silently.
Like a flower withering.
"... It was my mistake, my oversight."
The farmer looked at the blazing flames of the refining formation with a gloomy expression.
“I didn’t expect that among the current disciples of Juexiao Sect, there are young people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for justice.
"What's more, with such outstanding talent, he should have died on the battlefield of the great war between immortals and demons, rather than dying in vain under the sword of his fellow disciples."
The farmer saluted with his sword towards the refining formation, then put away his sword and said to Luo Xue,
"You go now."
At this moment, Luo Xue was stunned where she was.
Wait, what is this fellow elder talking about...
Sacrificing one's life for justice is something that is possible for anyone, but Senior Sister Li would never do such a thing.
If Luo Xue died in battle here, Senior Sister Li would never make a meaningless sacrifice. She would just lurk secretly and wait for the right opportunity to avenge Luo Xue.
This actually made Luo Xue feel more at ease. She was not afraid of death, but she was worried that people close to her would be in danger because of her.
Seeing Luo Xue was silent, the farmer thought that Luo Xue still didn't understand, so he explained softly,
"I respect the wishes of this fellow junior. She wanted to save you, even at the cost of her own life. I hope you can remember this: it was she who saved you.
"The mission has failed."
Then, before Luo Xue could say anything, the farmer turned around and left.
Only Luo Xue was left there, holding the seriously injured and unconscious Nangong Mengxiang, with the elixir that was gradually being condensed next to her.
It was not until the farmer went away that Luo Xue finally realized that the other party had really let her go.
... because he thought he had killed an innocent fellow junior.
"The problem is, Senior Sister Li is not dead, she just destroyed a puppet..."
Luo Xue scratched the back of her head but still didn't say anything about it.
What if the farmer found out and killed her
"Fortunately, the elixir has been completed. Now let's wake Nangong up first."
Luo Xue put away the super-powerful and invincible explosive elixir. Fortunately, Li Guijiao had already told her how to use this elixir, so she didn't have to use it as a firecracker to play with.
Although the maximum effect it can have is similar to that of firecrackers.
At the same time, there were ruins outside the sect protection formation.
The cultivators of the Demon Abyss have been fighting with the hidden men of the Juexiao Sect for three hundred rounds, and more than five Jindan cultivators have fallen at the hands of these Juexiao Sect's swords.
The hidden players were not unscathed either. The actor's mask was half missing, revealing half of his handsome face.
The general charged in the fiercest way and suffered many injuries.
Instead, the weakest storyteller achieved the most remarkable results. After unlocking the sect protection formation, he used the compass and cast a spell to trap the strongest few of the Demon Abyss cultivators.
