Chapter 96: Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds
Many cultivators in Yan Capital disappeared.
No one knew why those people suddenly disappeared, and no one knew who did it.
But if they had a deep understanding of the missing cultivators, they would find such a rule: the missing people were either Yan Wuji's loyal loyalists, or were often evildoers, or had been against the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.
There were very few people who could figure out such a pattern, so the other remaining cultivators in Yan Capital were panic, worrying about whether they would have an accident someday.
When the news reached the palace, Yan Wuji didn't take it seriously as soon as he heard it.
Along with the news, there was also a letter, a letter from Alchemy League, asking Yan Wuji to leave a way for Mo Xiu to survive at the critical moment, then arrest Mo Xiu and hand it to Alchemy League.
Yan Wuji didn't intend to reply as coldly snorted, "I gave your Alchemy League a face before, but now, you want to let me hand over people to you? Where did you put the face that I gave you?"
"Your Majesty, shall we recall the people that we sent out to arrest the forces of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce and Mo Family?" a confidant asked cautiously.
"Recall? Why do you want to recall?"
Yan Wuji glanced at the confidant, "Three days later, the Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds will be Mo Xiu's burial place. Once Mo Xiu dies, the Mo Family and the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce do not need to exist anymore, so why call people back? ?"
The confidant lowered his head and stopped talking.
...
Time passed quickly, and the agreed date had arrived in a blink of an eye.
Mo Xiu took Yan Ran and a hundred cultivators out of the defensive array.
The army outside the array had not yet evacuated, but seeing Mo Xiu and others, no one stepped forward to stop them, and let them leave.
Many people knew that Mo Xiu and Yan Wuji were about to have a battle. Seeing Mo Xiu and others walking down the street, they came to watch.
Mo Xiu was no different from usual, walking blankly, still ignoring everything as if he was not going to fight Yan Wuji in a life and death battle, but to watch other people's battles.
Yan Ran couldn't be so calm, but she trusted Mo Xiu very much, so she wasn't very nervous.
Except for the two, the state of the one hundred cultivators was very bad.
Among the 100 people, ninety-nine were from the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, and only one Wu Qingshan was the former commander of the Forbidden Army and did not belong to the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.
Wu Qingshan's limbs had long since recovered, and his cultivation level had also been restored. He was even much stronger than before. However, this person was afraid of death, even if Mo Xiu had told him many times that there was no problem, he was still nervous to die.
The ninety-nine Rainbow Chamber of Commerce's cultivators were also very nervous. If Mo Xiu hadn't helped them upgrade their cultivation to the Spirit Vessel Realm, they would not follow Mo Xiu to participate in this battle.
They followed Mo Xiu with the determination to "hear the Dao in the morning and die in the evening without regret". Among them, the Su Family accounted for the majority, otherwise, there would be no more than 99 people.
It was one thing to have determination, but when they thought that they were about to face Yan Wuji's army, how could they not be nervous?
They were also willing to believe in Mo Xiu, but no matter what, the Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds was the tiger's den after all. They really couldn't believe that a hundred people could defeat Yan Wuji and his thousands of troops.
The onlookers on the street all saw that there was something wrong with the hundred cultivators behind Mo Xiu, and saw them off with sympathy and pity. They secretly shook their heads in their hearts and regarded the hundred men as being captured by Mo Xiu.
Although everyone wanted to follow to watch the battle, this was probably not allowed, so everyone could only watch Mo Xiu and others leave.
There should have been guards at the city gate to check and register those who entered and leave, but Mo Xiu was in a special situation and didn't need to be checked and registered at all. It was easy to leave the city and head to the Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds in the northern suburbs.
Not long after, one hundred and two people entered the boundary of the Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds.
As soon as he entered it, Mo Xiu's Divine Consciousness spread and enveloped the entire hunting ground.
As he expected, this hunting ground had a large barrier, but it was not activated at the moment. If it was not for a person with a very high level of array, it was impossible to detect it.
There were more than one hundred thousand troops in the hunting ground, but only ten thousand troops were in the open, and the other troops were in the dark.
Whether it was the army on the bright side or the army waiting to ambush in the dark, they all looked wrong. They were all Core Formation cultivators, and their power was unusually strong. They seemed to have been specially cultivated through some secret method. This was really not simple, at least much stronger than the guards of the palace.
In addition, as Yan Ran guessed, Chen Xiaoyang who was supposed to be sitting in the palace also came, however, he hid in the dark without showing up in public.
More than that, there were many real traps in this hunting ground. If a trap was accidentally touched by mistake, even a Spirit Vessel Realm cultivator would die at any time.
There were not only ordinary beasts in the hunting grounds, but also monsters that were rare for ordinary people, and even fierce beasts that were powerful as the Profound Spirit Realm experts.
Mo Xiu had already overestimated Yan Wuji's sinister intentions as much as possible, only to realize that he was still a little underestimated.
This Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds was indeed the tigers and dragons' den; it was truly perilous.
But even if he knew that there were various dangers hidden in the Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds, Mo Xiu didn't shrink back. Now that the situation of the entire hunting ground had been investigated, the so-called danger was no longer a danger.
In Yan Wuji's opinion, this was the place where his Mo Xiu was buried, but he did not realize that this was also the perfect place for him to kill Yan Wuji.
"The feeling here is really dangerous," Yan Ran turned her head and said to Mo Xiu.
"There is nothing dangerous."
Without frowning, Mo Xiu turned around and said, "Let's go, go to Yan Wuji."
The group continued to move forward, and under the leadership of Mo Xiu, walked towards Yan Wuji and the 10,000 armies.
Somewhere along the way, Mo Xiu took out the four array flags that had already been refined. Then he raised his hand and waved as the four array flags flew out in different directions, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"That was...?" Yan Ran couldn't help but wonder.
"A killer move," Mo Xiu said mysteriously.
Yan Ran was not surprised, nodded, and stopped asking.
On the contrary, Wu Qingshan was overjoyed when he heard this but soon calmed down again.
No matter what, that was only four flags, what big role could it play? Wasn't the key point still relied on them?
Although Mo Xiu looked calm and composed from beginning to end, Wu Qingshan still felt that this battle was not that easy. Whether he could go back alive was really a big question.
In fact, the four array flags really couldn't play a big role. Mo Xiu's mouth was talking about killer moves, but it was not for helping kill people, but to take control of the array that deploy would deploy the barrier so that Yan Wuji and others could not escape after the defeat.
Ordinary array masters naturally could not easily take control of the barrier, but Mo Xiu could.
After confirming that the four array flags were in the correct position, Mo Xiu stopped using his hands and feet, took Wu Qingshan and others, and quickly found Yan Wuji and the 10,000 army.
"Mo Xiu, you have finally come. It's worth my wait for a long time," Yan Wuji stood on the high platform, his voice spread from afar.
"..."
Mo Xiu didn't say a word and slapped his palm on the ground. With a rumbling sound, a large part of the ground protruded, forming a higher platform.
After that, Mo Xiu and Yan Ran flew up and landed on the high platform.
Yan Wuji's eyes flickered, a little unhappy, but he didn't care.
His gaze shifted to Yan Ran, and he said coldly, "Yan Ran, you are also a member of my royal family no matter what, but you actually acted against me and had adultery with such villains as Mo Xiu. It's really a loss of royal dignity."
"The villain refers to yourself, right?" Yan Ran snorted, "Although my father doesn't like you, he has never done anything to you. But you actually colluded with the people of the Seraphic Sword Sect, murdered my father, took away my father's country, and killed my brothers and sisters. I will avenge them today!"
"Avenge? Just rely on you people?"
Yan Wuji's face was full of disdain, "Even if I can't take you people down, this Yan Kingdom will not have your turn to call the shots."
As he said, he took out an array flag, "I was worried that you didn't have the guts and didn't dare to come for a fight, but now that you are here, you don't have to go back. This is the place of burial that I carefully selected for you. You will like it very much."
He waved the array flag in his hand, ready to start the already prepared protective barrier.
However, to his surprise, the array flag in his hand glowed with white light, but the sky and the earth were still clear, and there was no rumbling sound from a distance. It seemed that the array had not been activated.
"What's the matter?" Yan Wuji was stunned, his face suddenly became a little ugly.
At this time, Mo Xiu also took out an array flag, and said, "Want to trap us with the Entrapment Array? Since you carefully selected it, you must be responsible for your own burial. You should like this burial ground too."
As he said, the array flag swayed from side to side, a white light flashed, and there was a grumbling sound. An invisible barrier manifested, like an inverted bowl, covering the entire Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds.
Yan Wuji was shocked immediately, and said incredulously, "Impossible! When did you do it? Why didn't I know it?"
"Since it is I who made the move, how could you find out?" it was Mo Xiu's to display disdain towards Yan Wuji.
Yan Wuji gritted his teeth, but soon, he realized that it was wrong again, and laughed loudly, "I miscalculated, but what if you can control the barrier? This hunting ground is full of my army, do you think with such a small amount of allies, you still have a chance to escape?"
