Hearing Wutan's shout, Jian Yi and the other man suddenly froze in mid-air. One could vaguely see that there was mist in their eyes.
They were touched! Although the legion commander's tone was extremely cold and even without any emotion, they could hear the deep concern from him, and it was the concern of a friend for a friend.
"Leader..."
"I have made up my mind, don't say anything more!" Wu Tian waved his hand, looked at Gui Jianchou and the other two, and sneered: "I have already recognized the Holy Soldier as my master, and you are still dreaming of snatching it away. How ridiculous!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Tianshen moved his mind, and the speed of his left and right hands increased dramatically, even faster than the speed of lightning, and fell directly into Jian Yis hands.
"recovery!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the elemental power of the five people immediately surged and poured into the left and right hands of the god. Suddenly, a shocking pressure gradually spread.
"It's really a holy soldier!" the Buddha said in surprise. At the same time, the three of them stopped and looked at him with serious expressions.
"Ghosts, ghost demons, what are you doing? Why don't you sneak attack the three people and take the initiative to revive the holy soldiers? Could it be... Could it be that you have also been controlled by Wujitan?!" The Ghost Sect transmitted the voice, his eyes were filled with demonic energy, like two black suns, stealing souls!
The two ghost girls did not say anything. They looked at the expression on Guijianchou's face and sighed in their hearts. If they really had to choose now, they would rather choose to follow Wutan.
"All ghost officers listen up, kill the people from the Shura Legion and these two traitors at all costs!" Guijianchou shouted angrily.
However, until the words fell, no one stopped and they were still fighting in the distance. After this short and fierce battle, almost half of the ninety Vajra Arhats were killed, and the buildings of the Gutuo Temple were basically destroyed, with ruins and devastation everywhere!
On the other hand, on Wutan's side, not a single person from the Shura Legion was killed, and only one person from the Dark Legion died, but most of them suffered varying degrees of injuries!
"Do you think they are still the ghost messengers you used to have? Dark Legion, Shura Legion, listen up, stop fighting immediately and gather here!" Wutan shouted coldly, his voice rolling out like a loud bell.
Upon hearing this, all the people from the two legions stopped immediately, and in the blink of an eye, they all came to Wutan.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "You have worked hard in this battle. Go and have a rest first. After you have regained your energy, there may be another battle waiting for you."
"It's not hard. We are willing to serve the commander-in-chief!" More than a hundred people said in unison with smiles on their faces.
Wutan smiled slightly and didn't say much. He waved his hand lightly, and more than a hundred people disappeared from the spot in an instant.
The power of the holy soldiers is terrifying. If they are not sent away, they will definitely suffer from the disaster. It has been difficult to subdue so many powerful people. Wu Tian does not want to destroy them all in a fit of anger.
"You really have controlled all the ghost messengers, Wutan, you are seeking your own death!" Guijianchou spoke word by word, his face extremely gloomy, and he looked like he wished he could eat Wutan alive.
"Hmph! Your murderous aura now will send you to hell!" Wutan smiled coldly and nodded to Jian Yi and the other four.
"My dear friend Wutan, please be patient. Can you come in and talk to me and then we can make a decision?" At this moment, an indifferent and somewhat weak voice suddenly sounded from Xuli Palace.
"Greetings, Master!"
"Greetings to the Master of Burning Lamp!"
As soon as this voice appeared, the remaining forty or so Vajra Arhats, the Buddha, and the One-Armed Man put their hands together and bowed in worship.
"One-armed, Xuanmo, what you have done really pains me. If I had not woken up now, wouldn't the Gutuo Temple be destroyed in your hands? How would I face the Buddha and the ancestors after you let me pass away?"
A weak voice came out intermittently from Xu Li Palace, as if someone was talking to himself, but to the ears of the two one-armed men, it was like a bolt from the blue. They both knelt in the air immediately, their faces sad and their hearts bitter.
In fact, both of them had a lot to say in their hearts, but when it came to their mouths, they didn't know what to say.
"Alas! I know that everything you did was to save my life, but you should not forget the Buddha's teachings. If you do this, even if I can continue to live, I will feel uneasy!" Ran Deng sighed.
The one-armed duo did not dare to disobey and quickly admitted their mistakes: "Master, I know I am wrong, please punish me!"
"Well! Since everything was caused by me, then I will end it all! Little friend Wu Tian, please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden light on Xu Li Palace cracked apart with a popping sound, and drops of light quickly dissipated into nothingness. Then, with a creaking sound, the door of Xu Li Palace slowly opened, and when a gap appeared that was just enough for one person to pass through, it stopped abruptly.
"Captain, no, beware of traps!" Seeing this, Jian Yi hurriedly advised.
Jian Er nodded and said, "Yes, we have the Holy Soldiers in our hands now. We don't need to be afraid of the Ran Deng. We can just kill them all. Commander, you must not take any risks!"
"Haha! Although my life has come to an end, if I want, with just a last-gasp attack, all of you, including the holy soldiers, will be reduced to ashes!" Randeng smiled lightly, his tone was very calm, without a trace of murderous intent, but it made Wutan and the others tremble, and their bodies and minds instantly turned cold.
"Do you think we will believe it?" Jian San said gloomily.
"You keep an eye on the three Buddhas, especially Guijianchou. If they show any abnormality, they will be killed immediately!" Wutan whispered in secret, and ignoring the advice of Jianyi and the other four, he turned into a stream of light and rushed into the gate.
Because when Randeng said this, all he saw on the faces of the two one-armed men was sadness, and no other emotions such as surprise. This was enough to prove that they had known about this for a long time.
So, it would be better to just venture into this dangerous place and see what Ran Deng has to say.
"kindness?"
As soon as he walked into Xu Li Palace and saw the so-called ancestor of Ran Deng, Wu Tian's hair stood on end. Without even the slightest hesitation, he waved his hand and a fiery red wave roared towards him.
"Wutian, don't be rude!" Outside, the Buddha and the other two shouted angrily, and at the same time, their figures flashed and rushed towards Xuli Palace.
"Stop, don't make the same mistake again." Randeng spoke, and stretched out his dry arm and lightly pointed it forward. The waves in the air suddenly collapsed, and even Wutan's body was trapped in place, motionless.
"Are you Randeng or Chi Yanzi?" Wutan was not surprised or afraid, but his eyes were filled with gloom.
With a gentle wave of his other hand, an old cushion fell in front of Wu Tian. At this time, Randeng lowered his hands and said with a smile: "My friend Wu Tian, please be patient and take a seat. I will answer your questions now."
"You are not Chi Yanzi." Wutan looked at him deeply, uttered these words, then sat cross-legged on the cushion, waiting for Randeng's explanation.
It's no wonder he would be like this, because Randeng and Chi Yanzi are so similar, whether it's the eyes, facial features, or height, they all seem to be carved from the same mold. If Chi Yanzi wasn't a little healthier and Randeng was not skinny, Wutan would really think they were the same person.
“Haha!” Ran Deng smiled and said, “In fact, we can say that Chi Yanzi is Ran Deng and Ran Deng is also Chi Yanzi.”
Wu Tian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, just say it."
"My friend, you are really impatient!" Randeng smiled faintly, then shook his head slightly, and said bitterly: "In fact, Chi Yanzi is my soul, but it is a soul with its own independent consciousness, which is completely out of my control."
"How is this possible?" Wutan trembled and exclaimed.
"The world is so big that nothing is strange. This kind of thing is very common in the world. My friend just hasn't reached that level yet."
Randeng smiled and explained, “When I first reached the Great Perfection of the Unparalleled Stage, I separated my primordial spirit on a whim. At first, there was nothing unusual. Unexpectedly, after my retreat, my primordial spirit gradually grew and became stronger. Until more than a thousand years ago, it gradually developed its own spiritual wisdom and became a truly independent person.
At that time, he didn't do anything bad and lived peacefully in Gutuo Temple. It happened that my life was about to come to an end. Since we were of the same root, I didn't erase his intelligence and let him continue to grow. This can be regarded as another kind of rebirth after my death!
Unexpectedly, my momentary kindness would lead to the murder today. It really proves the old saying that evils sent by heaven can be forgiven, but evils brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven!"
Wu Tian said in a deep voice: "Then why didn't you stop him when you found out that he was abnormal?"
Ran Deng shook his head and sighed, "It's not that I didn't try to stop him, but that I was powerless to stop him. At the beginning, he learned about the existence of the Beast King and Beast God from somewhere, so he took advantage of the opening of the Jueyin Ruins a thousand years ago to sneak into Qinglongzhou and try to seize the body of the Beast King and Beast God. When I found out, the door to the ruins had already been closed."
Wu Tian sneered and said, "With your Wushuang Great Perfection cultivation, even if your vitality is completely lost, I'm afraid you can easily capture him back from Qinglongzhou. In my opinion, it's not that you are unable to stop him, but that you don't want to stop him."
"You are right. As long as he is in the Five Continents, I can capture him with my strength. However, I was not in the Samsara Continent at that time. I was in the eighth floor of the God and Demon Cemetery of the Jueyin Ruins. There is a small world between us, so I was really powerless."
At this point, Randeng's expression suddenly darkened, and he looked a bit solemn. He stopped talking and instead sent a message to Wutan.
"Almost a hundred years ago, after I returned from the ruins, the first thing I thought of was to capture him and wipe out his intelligence. That was when you destroyed the Yan Sect. But just when I was taking Chi Yanzi back to Xihuzhou, a divine thought suddenly appeared and rescued him. Later, I asked Dubi to secretly investigate and finally found out that this person came from a place called the City of Darkness."
"So it was you who rescued Chi Yanzi!" The murderous intent in Wutan's eyes flashed suddenly, but he quickly suppressed it because he still had many doubts in his heart.
