Inside the main hall of Fengying City.
The first elder, the second elder and the fourth elder of Jiying Palace all looked unhappy.
The chief elder among them clenched his fists so tightly that veins bulged on the backs of his hands.
The hall was silent and the atmosphere was depressing.
"… I still find it hard to believe that Luo Jun and Tong Binhong (the fifth elder) would actually rebel against Jiying Palace and establish their own regime."
The second elder is old and is the oldest among the five elders.
He is from the same era as the current Lord of Jiying Palace.
Luo Jun was promoted by him to become the elder of Jiying Palace.
He knew that although Luo Jun had ambitions, he would never rebel against the Jiying Palace and establish his own regime.
This was not something the Luo Jun he knew would do.
"Now they have openly declared independence in Tree Shadow City and called themselves the Tree Shadow Sect. How can this be false?"
"Earlier, Luo Jun claimed that he had a way to improve the combat power of our Jiying Palace, but he turned around and teamed up with Tong Binhong to stab us in the back!"
"Now it seems..."
"He was deliberately paralyzing us before, so as to give them enough time to become independent!"
The fourth elder said this with gnashing teeth.
"I don't think Luo Jun is the main culprit."
The Great Elder analyzed carefully.
"The main culprit should be Tong Binhong."
"Don't forget, Shuying City has always been ruled by Tong Binhong. If Luo Jun wanted to rebel, he would definitely rebel in Jianying City, but now they are rebelling in Shuying City."
"If I'm not mistaken..."
"It should be that Tong Binhong somehow took control of the Cang'e Ancient Tree, which gave him the confidence to rebel against the Jiying Palace and establish his own regime. At the same time, he used Luo Jun's ambition to incite him, making Luo Jun stand on the same side with him."
The second elder and the fourth elder nodded.
I agree with the Great Elder's analysis.
In the past, the Cang'e Ancient Tree was not under their control, which was why they were unable to make the Cang'e Ancient Tree take action when they were attacked by a powerful foreign martial spirit realm expert last time.
They felt that Tong Binhong and Luo Jun dared to rebel now because they had the powerful trump card of the Cang'e Ancient Tree.
"The most urgent task now is to suppress and defeat them in one fell swoop before they can gain a firm foothold!"
There was a cold light in the Great Elder's eyes.
anyway.
They couldn't just sit there and watch the Tree Shadow Sect become independent.
It must be suppressed.
"Does this need to be notified to the Sect Master?"
The second elder asked.
They knew very little about the Cang'e ancient tree.
They only knew that the Cang'e ancient tree was extremely powerful, but they had no accurate idea of how powerful it was.
"Don't worry yet."
The Great Elder shook his head.
"If we can solve it, there is no need to bother Shadow Master."
"Although they now have the Cang'e Ancient Tree, in the final analysis, they still only have two people in the Wuhun Realm."
"Even with the help of the Cang'e Ancient Tree, the best they can do is catch up with us in terms of combat power."
"We can try this first..."
"The main purpose is to test what kind of abilities the ancient Cang'e tree possesses. If we can't figure it out, we'll go ask the Shadow Master for instructions."
The second and fourth elders nodded in agreement.
In terms of combat power, they are completely stronger than the other side.
The only uncertainty is the ancient Cang'e tree.
But the initiative is in their hands.
They can try it out first.
See what the capabilities of the Cang'e ancient tree are.
And then respond accordingly.
In their opinion.
The worst case scenario is that Luo Jun and Tong Binhong use the power of the Cang'e ancient tree to catch up with them in terms of combat power.
If that's the case.
They went to ask the Shadow Master for instructions, and the Shadow Master came forward to suppress the rebellion.
I believe that with Shadow Lord's strength, it will not be difficult to suppress them.
After all, the Shadow Master is at the Soul Consciousness Stage of the Martial Soul Realm!
That day.
The three elders of Jiying Palace came to the top of the attic of Fengying City.
Standing here, you can have a clear view of the five cinemas below.
They clearly saw...
Tree Cinema, which was originally merged with four other cinemas, is no longer in its earlier location.
The ancient tree trunk extending from the ground directly moved the Tree Shadow City to a farther place.
There is some distance between the four movie studios.
The Tree Shadow City is located on top of the huge tree trunk.
Among the many cities in Tiandou Province, Shuying City is definitely a big city.
But now, on the trunk of the ancient Cang'e tree, it looks extremely small.
And they all know it.
What has emerged from the ground now is only a small part of the ancient Cang'e tree.
Most of its body is still buried underground.
This also made the three elders look solemn and they did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
The three of them looked at each other.
call!
The figures rushed out at the same time.
A gust of wind formed under the Great Elder's feet, allowing her to step directly on the wind and move forward in the air.
Water shadows and shield shadows appeared under the feet of the second elder and the fourth elder respectively.
So that they can also fly in the air.
At an extremely fast speed, he ran straight to the ancient Cang'e tree in the distance and arrived directly in front of the Tree Shadow City.
Almost the moment they arrived.
whoosh!
whoosh!
Two figures flew out from the Tree Shadow City at the same time.
They are Luo Jun who is standing on the sword shadow, and Tong Binhong who is supported by the tree shadow.
The original five elders of the Jiying Palace have now formed two camps, suspended in the air and confronting each other.
Neither side chose to let their men go into direct battle.
Instead, their respective top warriors clashed first.
After all, this is a civil war within the Jiying Palace.
It is not advisable to make a big fuss.
As long as we can eliminate the top powerhouses on both sides, we can naturally absorb the rest of the disciples back.
This will avoid unnecessary deaths and injuries.
"How dare you two bastards rebel against the Jiying Palace and establish your own kingdom? Do you think that you can fight against us just because you have the Cang'e Ancient Tree? How ridiculous!"
The four elders followed the convention and pronounced the verdicts on the two men first.
The Great Elder had a cold look in his eyes.
There was regret in the second elder's eyes.
Luo Jun and Tong Binhong remained unmoved. They looked at the three people coldly and said indifferently.
"Stop talking nonsense and start the fight!"
"Heh, it seems like you guys really want to fight two against three? Since you want to die so badly, I'll grant your wish!"
The fourth elder sneered.
The shield shadow beneath his feet quickly solidified.
A powerful aura emanated from him, causing air currents to vibrate.
Powerful aura fluctuations were also emanating from the First Elder and the Second Elder, ready to strike.
"Two against three?"
Luo Jun and Tong Binhong laughed at the same time.
"Um?"
The three elders of Jiying Palace were stunned.
He turned around as if he sensed something.
Suddenly saw...
A figure covered in a large black cloak appeared behind them at some point.
His entire body was covered by a black cloak, and his figure and appearance could not be seen under the cloak.
"Now, it's three on three!"
An old and hoarse voice came from inside the cloak.
And at the moment the sound sounded.
Swish!
The figure under the black cloak seemed to teleport, and in a flash, it appeared in front of the four elders.
A punch as fast as lightning exploded the air.
Go straight to the fourth elder.
The fourth elder's child's hole shrank.
Too fast!!
He had absolutely no time to react.
Buzz!
The moment the fist reached him.
A purple-black shield suddenly appeared in front of him.
This purple-black shield is his protective treasure!
It will be automatically triggered when he encounters a crisis.
It can be said to be his extremely important protective treasure.
This type of automatically triggered protective treasure has always been rare and can often save lives at critical moments, and is extremely valuable.
Kacha!
When the purple-black shield was hit by the fist, the entire shield was shattered by the punch, and the extremely powerful impact force went along the opponent's fist and hit the whole body of the Fourth Elder, causing the Fourth Elder to fall straight down.
With a loud bang.
It fell heavily to the ground.
A big hole was smashed into the ground.
Xiao Shi, who was covered in a black cloak, knocked the fourth elder from the air to the ground with one punch.
His figure flashed again.
Without any pause, he rushed towards the four elders in the pit.
Ignore the first elder and the second elder standing aside.
All this happened in an extremely short moment.
The first and second elders were shocked and angry and were about to provide assistance.
But they found that Luo Jun and Tong Binhong were already approaching them.
"The three of them have already chosen their opponents!!"
The Great Elder was shocked and angry.
Before this, they had always thought that there were only two people in the Wuhun realm between Luo Jun and Tong Binhong.
They never expected that there was a mysterious master hidden among them!
And based on Luo Jun and Tong Binhong's understanding of them.
Apparently they had already decided who would deal with whom early on.
In this way.
They took the initiative and advantage as soon as they started fighting!
After all, Luo Jun and Tong Binhong were aware of the strength, methods, and expertise of their three elders.
When it comes to choosing your opponents, you can target them very well.
For example, let a mysterious master who is good at speed deal with the four elders with the strongest defense.
This way, the Four Elders can be restrained to the greatest extent!
Even if the three elders of the Jiying Palace wanted to change their opponents now, it was too late.
…
boom!
The fourth elder fell heavily to the ground.
Before I could even stand up from the ground.
Xiao Shi had already fallen from the sky.
A foot stepped on his chest.
The Fourth Elder was trampled so hard that he coughed up blood and his chest bones cracked.
Although he is good at defense, it is mainly due to his shield shadow, not his own strong physical defense.
“Get lost!!”
He roared.
Three thick shield shadows condensed in front of him, overlapping each other, forming a powerful thrust that pushed Xiao Shi away.
The fourth elder seized this opportunity and quickly stood up from the ground.
But he just stood up.
Peng!!
He felt a heavy blow on his back.
Xiao Shi, who was clearly in front of him the previous second, now appeared behind him. He hit him hard on the back with his elbow, sending his entire body flying forward.
And on the way to flying.
Xiao Shi unexpectedly appeared in front of him again.
He kicked him back.
The fourth elder was like a ball, being kicked back and forth by Xiao Shi.
The most terrifying.
It was Xiao Shi's own speed, which even exceeded the speed at which the Fourth Elder was kicked away. Before he reached the landing point, Xiao Shi had already arrived at the landing point and kicked him back.
This speed...
The Fourth Elder has never encountered this in his life!
Blood was constantly oozing from his mouth and many bones in his body were broken.
Since the shield shadow he cast could only block attacks from one direction, when facing a strong enemy like Xiao Shi who was fast, it was difficult for him to use the shield shadow to block Xiao Shi's attacks.
He fended off the attack from the front, and Xiao Shi appeared behind him.
He was blocking the attack from behind, and Xiao Shi appeared on his left.
"If this continues... I'm sure he'll kill me!!"
The fourth elder was anxious.
He is now thrown into the air and cannot land.
Xiao Shi completely treated him like a ball.
call!
When Xiao Shi kicked him away again.
The fourth elder let out a roar of grief and anger.
Hundreds of shield shadows instantly appeared around his body.
These shield shadows surrounded his body, covering his entire body in all directions without any blind spots.
They overlap each other to form a huge polygonal sphere.
“Now you really are the ball.”
An old and hoarse voice came from inside the cloak.
Although the opponent protected his body with these shield shadows, it would not bring any change. I could still kick him like a ball.
"Um?"
Just when Xiao Shi’s attack hit the opponent’s shield shadow again.
He suddenly noticed something different.
The opponent's shield shadow, while blocking his attack, could actually absorb some of the power of his attack.
Although not much is absorbed.
But if you keep attacking, it will inevitably accumulate into a big one.
"Is this your way of coping?"
Xiao Shi kicked the polygonal sphere formed by the entire shield shadow high into the air.
…
“Their strength has increased significantly.”
The second elder was facing Luo Jun at this time.
The water shadow that condensed in front of him was directly shattered by Luo Jun's sword shadow.
At the same time, his entire body was knocked back by Luo Jun's attacks.
The great elder who was fighting with Tong Binhong not far away had a deeper feeling about this.
As the grand elder of Jiying Palace, although she has not yet reached the soul consciousness stage, her strength has always been the strongest among the five elders.
In the past, Tong Binhong was no match for her at all.
But now...
He is actually on par with her.
Even slightly suppressed her.
"The wind is coming!"
The Great Elder formed seals with his hands and pushed forward.
Suddenly, strong winds emerged from all directions, making the entire area seem to have turned into a world of strong winds.
In this violent wind.
Some things that they could not see before are now displayed clearly before them.
The first and second elders immediately saw...
Behind Tong Binhong and Luo Jun, there is a branch that is invisible to the naked eye.
The branch pierced into their backs and connected to the ancient Cang'e tree.
It's obvious.
This is the source of their increased strength.
"It is indeed the Cang'e Ancient Tree!"
The first elder and the second elder looked at each other.
However, this enhancement is within their acceptable range.
What really surprised them this time was the presence of a third martial soul realm expert!
So that's it.
It is obviously impossible for these three elders alone to deal with Luo Jun and his two companions.
This matter...
The Shadow Master needs to come forward personally to suppress it!
Think of this.
The first elder and the second elder no longer had the will to continue fighting, and at the same time wanted to retreat.
The Great Elder raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Tong Binhong and Luo Jun, and the wind in the area suddenly swept towards the two of them.
Forcing the two to resist.
The second elder took this opportunity to find the fourth elder and prepared to retreat with him.
Just bowed your head.
Then I saw a sphere flying out from the hole below.
