Chapter 71 Qingyang's Escape
"Who am I? Where am I? What on earth happened?"
Master Wu stood frozen in place, whip in hand.
No wonder he was stunned.
The situation on the field was in complete chaos.
He was caught in a dilemma: whether to continue targeting the Zheng and Bai families or not.
After staring at the group for a long time, Master Wu finally managed to react.
The current situation is that the Zheng and Bai families are fighting amongst themselves.
Lord Qingyang acted too soon against the Zheng and Bai families, missing the opportunity to reap the benefits.
The Zheng family, in alliance with Mu Shan of the Qingchi Demonic Sect, originally intended to annihilate the Bai family, but unexpectedly, the Bai family also allied with Sun Yang, the black-robed deacon from the Yunxia Sect.
Even if Lord Qingyang wanted to help the righteous path of Yunxia Sect deal with the demonic sect, it would be impossible now, because after Lord Qingyang took action against the two sects, Sun Yang, the black-robed deacon of Yunxia Sect, actually ambushed him.
Then, the black-robed deacon was also ambushed by Mu Shan, a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Demonic Sect!
Sun Yang, the black-robed steward, was the first to react. He unleashed a cyan sword light and quickly withdrew his killing intent towards Qingyang Daoist, turning his defense towards Mu Shan behind him.
"【Green Trees Grow】!"
Qingyang Daoist was also taken aback, and quickly unleashed a divine power. Although the black-robed steward was of low character, he was, after all, from the Yunxia Sect, and Qingyang Daoist dared not withstand his full-force attack.
Fortunately, Qingyang, as the number one rogue cultivator in Dade, is also quite powerful.
He unleashed the supernatural power [Azure Tree Sprout], and a verdant life force rose up in front of him, a magical tree that blocked the black-robed deacon's attack.
"Qingyang, the Demonic Sect is coming with overwhelming force and will certainly not let us go. Let's not fight yet, let's kill this demon, Mu Shan, first, and then we can talk about other things!"
The black-robed deacon swung his sword, blocking Mu Shan's sword energy in front of him. Although he was somewhat surprised that Qing Yang had taken his attack without being hurt, this was not the time to be surprised. He immediately tried to win Qing Yang over, preparing to have him cooperate with him to deal with Mu Shan first.
"Black-robed deacon, you are right. Everyone has the right to kill members of the Demonic Sect. After all, they could be betrayed or ambushed by the Demonic Sect at any time."
Qingyang Daoist's face was ugly, and he said sarcastically.
Anyone who meticulously plans to conquer the entire Pingyang region, only to be suddenly ambushed by a hypocrite, will not look good.
At the same time, he extended a stream of emerald green magic power to explore the surroundings and was shocked to find that Dongyang Mountain was now shrouded by two arrays, one righteous and one demonic.
"Damn it! Mu Shan and Sun Yang were prepared even earlier and more thoroughly than I was. Dongyang Mountain is already shrouded in an array. Even if I wanted to escape, I couldn't. Helping either side would likely result in being purged by the other."
"While the Demonic Sect is undoubtedly wicked, can the righteous path be trusted? If I assist the Black-Robed Deacon now, and Mu Shan is killed, won't I become the next Mu Shan?"
Qingyang Daoist hesitated, while Mu Shan and Sun Yang were already locked in combat, each unleashing a sword light and a spell, their battle fierce and evenly matched, the entire sky seemingly torn apart by their unparalleled magical power.
"What should I do?"
He didn't have much time to think. The two of them were tacitly drawing the battle towards him, seemingly confident that he wouldn't help the other.
If he still hesitates, Qingyang has no doubt that the two of them will attack him together so that he won't reap the benefits.
Just as a burst of magical power was about to reach him, Qingyang suddenly received a telepathic message.
His pupils immediately contracted, and he said to the black-robed deacon Sun Yang, "Black-robed deacon Sun Yang, what you say makes sense. We absolutely cannot let the Demonic Sect win this round, otherwise, Great Virtue might be doomed!"
Upon hearing Qingyang's words, the black-robed deacon burst into laughter: "Excellent! Qingyang, as expected of the number one rogue cultivator of Dade! Once we kill this Mu Shan, I'll immediately return and petition for your reward! I'll have the sect bestow upon you the Foundation Establishment spiritual item you desire, or the Heart Demon Pill!"
Mu Shan remained unmoved by their conversation, but his sword light grew increasingly fierce. He disregarded his own injuries and continuously channeled his magic power, unleashing a torrent of demonic energy that clashed with Sun Yang.
The next moment, Daoist Qingyang made his move.
Sun Yang felt a surge of powerful magic energy emanating from behind him, and his heart immediately relaxed. He shook his head inwardly, thinking to himself:
"Qingyang, good Qingyang, after I deal with Mushan, I'll let you accompany him. Today, you will all become my provisions. To thank you for your help, my sword energy will be even faster!"
Qingyang was naturally unaware of what the black-robed deacon was thinking, but he did not grant the deacon's wish.
Suddenly, a divine power combined with sword energy was unleashed.
【Ten Thousand Thorns】!
Strands of green sword energy, like willow catkins, shooting stars, or gentle drizzle, yet concealed a deadly intent as they attacked the black-robed deacon.
"Black-robed butler, thank you for your kindness. I'll help you... help you on your way!"
Qingyang Daoist gave a cold laugh. His divine power was not aimed at Mu Shan of the Demonic Sect, but at Sun Yang, the steward of the Yunxia Sect!
"Qingyang, how dare you do this? Aren't you afraid of being punished by our sect?"
The black-robed deacon's pupils contorted in horror, and at the same time, Mu Shan in front of him launched an attack, a jet-black demonic aura carrying streaks of starlight striking his chest.
"Sun Yang, don't talk about pursuing this matter. Do you think you'll let me go just because I helped you?"
Qingyang Daoist snorted coldly, and the next moment he unleashed another divine power that pierced straight towards the black-robed deacon's face.
The black-robed deacon had no choice but to withstand Qingyang Daoist's attack. Then, he turned to kill Xiang Mushan.
Although Mu Shan broke through to the half-step Foundation Establishment later than Qingyang Daoren, he preferred to directly confront the supernatural power of Qingyang Daoren, a veteran half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator, rather than directly confront Mu Shan's supernatural power.
Sun Yang was pierced by the [Ten Thousand Wood Thorn]. Although he was protected by the high-grade magic weapon soft armor, he still felt as if he was being pricked by needles. He gritted his teeth and activated his magic power to temporarily stop the injury. Then, he took the opportunity to collide with Mu Shan's sword and retreat to the side.
"Fellow Daoist Mu, according to our agreement, quickly release the formation and let me leave!"
Having succeeded in one move, Qingyang did not seek credit and immediately sent a telepathic message to Mushan, instructing him to fulfill his promise and let him leave.
It turned out that during the chaotic battle, Mu Shan had told him via telepathy that as long as he helped him ambush Sun Yang, he would not stop him and would not pursue the matter.
Compared to Sun Yang, who had ambushed him, Qingyang Daoist preferred to believe Mu Shan's promise.
"Damn Qingyang, I'll make sure you stay here today!"
The black-robed deacon's eyes were filled with rage. Just as he was preparing to fully activate the [Nine Netherworld Refining God Array] to attack Qingyang first, he discovered that Mu Shan had already activated the [Nine Imperial Demon Burning Array] to attack the weak points of his array, allowing Daoist Qingyang to leave.
"Black-robed deacon, you still want to keep me here? You'd better make sure you survive first!"
A gap appeared at the foot of Dongyang Mountain, where endless demonic energy and flames gathered. Just getting close to it made people feel cold all over and covered in ghostly flames.
However, Qingyang was overjoyed to see the demonic energy and flames. Despite the burning ghostly fire, he grabbed Wu Fangzhu, who was hiding to the side, and followed by a group of clever rogue cultivators, and squeezed out through the gap.
Some of the cultivators from the Bai and Zheng families were also moved and quickly emerged from among them, while Mu Shan did not stop them.
"That hateful Mu Shan! That hateful Qing Yang!"
Seeing this scene, the black-robed Taoist kept cursing. He originally wanted to first refine and kill those low-level rogue cultivators and Qingyang in order to enhance the power of the [Nine Netherworld Refining God Array] and kill Mu Shan.
Who would have thought that Mu Shan would activate that formation to protect those rogue cultivators!
How could there be such a hateful demon!
Instead of harming people, they save them!
Before the black-robed Taoist could even curse, Mu Shan's magic sword, imbued with demonic energy, slashed at him once more.
