Chapter 281: Unexpected Change
The Wind and Cloud Witches thought that with Daoist Chrysanthemum and gang’s strength, they would still put up a fight for sure. At that time, SongZhong would probably come and provide reinforcement with the Gold Dragon Boat. Thus, they wanted to finish the battle quickly and so they unleashed their strongest moves instantly.
However, the Wind and Cloud Witches never expected that after they unleashed their attacks, Daoist Chrysanthemum and gang did not even bother blocking at all. Instead, they looked at the Wind and Cloud Witches with a smile and allowed themselves to be slaughtered and reduced to ashes.
Under such circ.u.mstances, Daoist Chrysanthemum and gang actually did not say a single thing and died right on the spot. This was something which was far out of the Wind and Cloud Witches’ expectations. As such, they were stunned silly on the spot.
Right at this moment, five black shadows floated out from the bodies of Daoist Chrysanthemum and gang. One of them then chuckled, “Ai yah yah, internal strife isn’t a good thing! The enemy is already knocking on your doorstep and you guys are still not fending off the enemy. Instead, you two killed the prime disciple of your sect master and four others. Hehe, I wonder how the both of you will be able to explain this to Daoist Lecher?”
As they said that, the demonic witches retreated immediately. Since they had already framed the Wind and Cloud Witches successfully, they can leave the rest to Daoist Lecher.
After the Wind and Cloud Witches heard that, their expression changed immediately. Only now did they realize that they had fell for a trap. This Daoist Chrysanthemum was not an ordinary person; he was the beloved disciple of Daoist Lecher. After young master Yu from the Thousands Desire Sect died, it was already an almost certain fact that Daoist Chrysanthemum would be Daoist Lecher’s successor. For someone like Daoist Chrysanthemum to die under the hands of sister duo, how would Daoist Lecher let go of this matter?
While Daoist Chrysanthemum had indeed been possessed by the demonic witches, no one else knew about this matter apart from the Wind and Cloud Witches. Instead, the high grade cultivators who were hiding from SongZhong’s pursuit had witnessed the Wind and Cloud Witches killing Daoist Chrysanthemum and gang.
Due to their distance, they were unable to hear the conversation between the Wind and Cloud Witches and Daoist Chrysanthemum. They were unaware of the truth as well. They only witnessed the Wind and Cloud Witches killing Daoist Chrysanthemum. What would these guys think? It can be imagined how they would report this matter back to Daoist Lecher.
The Wind and Cloud Witches knew that these people had also fell for SongZhong’s trap and would definitely testify against the duo. This rendered them helpless to salvage the situation. After all, there were many of them and their hiding spots were extremely concealed. It would be extremely difficult for them to kill all of those hiding. If they were to attempt to silence all witnesses and some of them escape, they would really have really committed the crime of killing their fellow sect mates.
In that instant, the Wind and Cloud Witches were trapped in a dilemma. They can’t kill, neither could they fight. It would also be useless for them to try and explain this matter. SongZhong had dumped a pile of s.h.i.+t right on their head! They were completely exasperated.
Thankfully, the Wind and Cloud Witches had been through many storms and troubles. Even after knowing that they fell for SongZhong’s trap, they were still composed. They knew that the most important thing for them to do now would be to activate the sect protecting formation. As long as they can protect the Thousands Desire Sect, they would be more confident when facing Daoist Lecher in the future.
Thinking about this, the Wind and Cloud Witches could not be bothered with anything else. They rushed into the cave and destroyed all of the restrictions which stopped them along the way, entering the core of the cave. The core of the cave was a large hall a thousand feet in diameter. There was a huge formation inside, the product of a few FenShen cultivators. This was the core of the sect protecting formation.
As the Wind and Cloud Witches entered the place, they were completely dumbfounded. Corpses littered the formation as all of the 300 people guarding the formation was lying there. The weakest amongst them were foundational cultivators with at least two JinDan cultivators present.
By right, two JinDan cultivators and 300 foundational cultivators is definitely enough to deal with five JinDan cultivators.
The problem is, the demonic witches would definitely not fight them all head on. They made use of Daoist Chrysanthemum’s ident.i.ty and signalled these disciples out wave by wave for the five JinDan cultivators to ambush them. They would therefore be able to take them all out easily without sustaining any injuries.
Of course, the corpses present here would definitely not let the Wind and Cloud Witches lose their cool. The thing which devastated them the most was the fact that the formation which had been formed after great difficulty by FenShen cultivators, had completely been destroyed. The most important materials had been dug out, and hundreds of craters were left in its place.
Apart from that, the demonic witches had used their flying swords to mess up the lines of the formation. Even the senior who refined this formation would probably be unable to recognize the formation for sure. A proper formation was completely destroyed beyond repair just like that!
