Chapter 309: Shu Mountain Was Taken Down? (1/2)

”What do you want me to do?”

Wen Huizhou had already realized that something was amiss. However, he was at the mercy of others and did not have much choice.

Jiang Li also told him the alliance's plan very bluntly. After all, if this plan did not have Pavilion Master Wen's cooperation, it would actually be of no value.

The more Pavilion Master Wen listened, the uglier his expression became. This plan would not let him die immediately, but if he did this, he would be stabbing the Myriad Slaughter Sect in the back.

If the Myriad Slaughter Sect knew about this, he would be in deep trouble.

Not to mention the Myriad Slaughter Sect, even the Immortal Ascension Pavilion could not tolerate him.

”No, I can't agree. If I do this, the entire Immortal Ascension Pavilion will offend the Myriad Slaughter Sect. I, Wen Huizhou, will definitely not be a traitor to the sect.”

When he thought about the feeling of being surrounded by enemies, his scalp went numb.

”Merchants pursue profits. You should know the price of rejection.”

”We still hope that Pavilion Master Wen can consider it carefully.”

At this moment, a golden seal enlarged in the sky, enveloping the entire Immortal Ascension Pavilion. It smashed down with a huge wind pressure.

Wen Huizhou felt that the surrounding space was sealed. He could not even move a step.

The simple and unadorned Ancient Dust Sword slowly flew over from outside and floated in front of him. The edge of the sword pointed at the space between Pavilion Master Wen's brows.

With the combination of the Square Heaven Seal and the Ancient Dust Sword, it was very difficult to find an opponent in the entire Great Mountain Region, causing him to instantly become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Even though he was a Soul Formation cultivator, he still felt the aura of death at this moment.

As the Pavilion Master, he had a life-saving artifact on him. If he sacrificed that artifact, he was confident that he could temporarily escape from the edge of the sword.

However, outside, a group of monks knocked on the wooden fish. Heavy Buddhist chanting transformed into golden words that covered the sky. Clearly, they had already made full preparations and did not give him any chance to escape.

He was really not good at fighting. Under such circumstances, he did not have the confidence to escape.

”Actually, Pavilion Master Wen won't suffer any losses. You only provided some information to the Myriad Slaughter Sect.”

”You didn't lie to them. The failure of the Blood Saber Guards is only because of bad luck. As long as you do well, no one will know what happened today.”

Jiang Li continued to persuade him tirelessly. Under the pressure of death, the determination in Wen Huizhou's heart continuously collapsed.

To a businessman who had been weighing his gains and losses his entire life, loyalty was actually not important.

Compared to his life, there were still some things that he could give up.

”Alright, I agree! Can you take these weapons back now?”

”Pavilion Master Wen, don't be anxious. These few guys have committed a heinous crime by slaughtering the people of our Great Mountain Region. Why don't you punish them on the spot?”

Wen Huizhou looked at the heavily injured Blood Blade Guards of the Myriad Slaughter Sect who were thrown into the room and gritted his teeth. This time, he was going to be forced to choose a side.

These were the few Blood Saber Guards that they had captured after attacking another group of the Myriad Slaughter Sect according to the information.

As for Wen Huizhou, he needed to kill them as his proof of allegiance.

Otherwise, how could Jiang Li and the others work with him in peace?

Unwillingly, Wen Huizhou personally killed these few Blood Saber Guards and was recorded by the high-grade jade slip.

If not for the increasing difficulty of parasitizing high-level cultivators with the spiritual root seed, Jiang Li really wanted to turn this person into one of his own.

...

A few days later, the Immortal Ascension Pavilion announced that an auction was about to be held in the pavilion. The auction item would be an unprecedented Earth-rank artifact.

Earth-rank artifacts were extremely rare in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region.

As soon as this news was out, the leaders of the various large factions rushed to participate in the auction.

It was said that the leaders of the three major sects who would only appear in major events in the Great Mountain Region had all appeared in the Immortal Ascension Pavilion.

In the Misty Mountain Range, for some reason, there were suddenly several large-scale demon beast attacks.

The three great sects were forced to send people to assist them again.

Nearly half of their people were sent to the Mechanism City at the edge of the Eastern Region. A portion followed the Sect Master to the Immortal Ascension Pavilion to participate in the auction, and a portion even ran to the Misty Mountain Range to guard against demon beasts of unknown origins.

These consecutive events immediately caused the three great sects to lose 70-80% of their manpower.

This was especially true for Shu Mountain, which had an extremely high threshold for accepting disciples and had always been short-handed. At this moment, the mountain gate had fallen into an unprecedented emptiness.

At this moment, a group of more than 200 bloody-clothed cultivators approached silently under the cover of some kind of stealth spell technique.

”Hmph, a small place is a small place. The news of an Earth-rank artifact being auctioned has tricked all their leaders away. How laughable.”

”Hehe, they don't even know about the Demon Luring Powder. How can they have seen an Earth-rank artifact? When they return, they'll discover that their sect has been destroyed. I think they won't have the courage to resist our sect anymore.”

It turned out that the false auction of the Immortal Ascension Pavilion and the attack by the demon beasts in the Misty Mountain Range were all their doing.

Sects like the Myriad Slaughter Sect were either in war or on the path to war. They had fought all year round and had all kinds of sinister and cunning methods.

These demonic sects were not only strong, but they were also smart. If not for the fact that the Immortal Ascension Pavilion had reached an agreement with them, if they faced such an attack without knowing anything, just this group of people's guerrilla warfare would be able to turn the Great Mountain Region upside down.

”However, such an immortal mountain can actually appear in a small place like the Great Mountain Region. It's really a waste to give it to these rural cultivators.”

”According to the information from the Immortal Ascension Pavilion's Wen Huizhou, the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak is the strongest and longest-standing faction in the Great Mountain Region.”

”If there are any powerful cultivators hidden in the Great Mountain Region, the greatest possibility is here.”

”Apart from that, in the middle of these five mountains, there's also a place called the Demon Subduing Pagoda where demonic cultivators and demons are imprisoned. As long as we release those guys inside, the entire Great Mountain Region will be in chaos.”

”At that time, if they can't even take care of themselves, they won't have the ability to stop the blade of our Myriad Slaughter Sect. This will be extremely helpful in attacking the Great Mountain Region in the future.”

They were actually not wrong about this. A large number of powerful demon beasts and demonic cultivators were imprisoned under the Demon Subduing Pagoda, especially on the ninth level that even Jiang Li had not gone to. Once the thing inside escaped, the consequences would be unimaginable.

”Saber 13, Saber 14. You guys go.”

They chatted for a moment on the spot before a Soul Formation cultivator ordered the two of them who looked the most friendly.

After the two people received the order, they sneered and consumed a medicinal pill each.

Then, the aura on their bodies quickly fell, falling from the Nascent Soul realm to the Core Formation realm.

At the same time, the bloody aura on their bodies was also concealed. After changing their clothes, they really looked harmless.

Of course, if that was all, the people of Shu Mountain were not fools.
