"Luohu! Come out! You have the guts to scheme against heaven and earth, but not to come out?"

Yang Mei shouted towards Mount Sumeru in front of him. The sound shook hundreds of millions of miles. Every living being in this vast Western land could hear his shout.

Luohu was originally calmly waiting for a few people to enter the formation.

Suddenly hearing Yang Mei's words, his expression couldn't help but turn strange.

Hmph, is Hongjun trying to send me to my death?

Hongjun is indeed not simple. I already invited him into the formation, but instead, he threw Yang Mei out to embarrass me and call me a coward?

"Kekekekeke~"

Accompanied by a cold laugh, Luohu, who was hidden within the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, spoke again.

"Old man Hongjun, don't think I don't know your scheme. You want to use Yang Mei to lure me out of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, and then you'll all swarm me? Do you think I'm Yang Mei!"

Yang Mei: "..."

Why is everything Hongjun's scheme? And what's with that last sentence?

Yang Mei couldn't help but feel depressed. He seriously suspected that Luohu was mocking him for lacking intelligence.

As the voice fell, a figure slowly appeared in the Void.

The figure wore a Daoist robe as black as ink, and its eyes were as dark and cold as an abyss. Even an ancestor-level being would feel like they were being devoured if they met his gaze.

The figure exuded a fearsome Sha Qi, holding a long spear. Within this spear was an endless, violent, and malevolent energy.

If a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal were to face it, they would probably be terrified and their Dao Heart would be damaged just by looking at it.

At this moment, Luohu's aura had likely reached the Sage level.

Of course, this was just speculation. In this Primordial World, one could only become a Saint according to the Heavenly Dao. No matter how strong you were, you couldn't achieve sainthood on your own.

Listening to Luohu's words, Yang Mei's gaze towards Hongjun became even more vigilant.

He believed it, he believed Luohu's words!

At this moment, he also felt that his shouting earlier was part of Hongjun's scheme!

As this thought appeared, Yang Mei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Terrifying, too terrifying. To scheme against me so silently!

As expected, Hongjun is still the Hongjun I know.

He's still that cunning old fox. By getting me to call Luohu out, he definitely has his own plans!

No, I absolutely cannot let him succeed.

But, what should I do?

At this moment, Yang Mei completely believed that his earlier shout was Hongjun's scheme.

How could I be so foolish as to shout like that?

Since Hongjun is scheming against me like this...

Hongjun's scheme must be to send everyone to their deaths. I can't let things proceed according to Hongjun's plan.

At this moment, Luohu appeared before everyone, with a dark, ominous cloud hovering above his head.

Within the cloud, the Nine Demon Pagoda spun and churned, and from its four eaves and eight corners, endless resentful roars emanated.

And beneath Luohu's feet, a twelve-petal World-Ending Black Lotus spanned the Void. No matter how the celestial winds raged, they couldn't come close to him.

Unlike the terrifying aura he exuded, Luohu's gaze towards Hongjun was filled with apprehension, not the casual look he gave others, including Shi Chen, who was hiding on a certain mountain.

Facing Luohu's wariness, Hongjun was speechless.

Yang Mei shouted the words, Luohu put on the act, and now both of them are looking at me so vigilantly. Why do I suddenly feel like the villain?

"Hongjun! How did you become like this???"

It was only then that Luohu finally noticed that Hongjun's appearance seemed different from his impression.

He was clearly an old man just over a dozen kalpas ago.

"We're all immortals, and we get bored. What's strange about changing our appearance?"

Hongjun said casually:

"You... you're not really going to come out and fight me one-on-one, are you?"

Hongjun looked at Luohu suspiciously. Could this guy's brain be malfunctioning too?

However, Hongjun didn't say it out loud.

Of course, if Luohu really wanted to come out for a one-on-one fight, Hongjun would definitely call his buddies to swarm him.

"Hmm? Why would I come out? I think it's you who doesn't have the guts to come in!"

Luohu stood within the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, shouting provocatively.

He wasn't stupid. After finally getting the Immortal Execution Array Diagram to reappear and utilizing the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to gain an absolute advantage, why would he believe Yang Mei's taunts and go out to fight Hongjun one-on-one?

Unless his brain was filled with holes.

Moreover, he felt that Hongjun must have some sort of scheme!

Although the two had not interacted much, he knew what kind of person Hongjun was after meeting him just once.

In his eyes, Hongjun was hypocritical, calculating, and always managed to position himself on the side of righteousness.

In comparison, his own methods were far inferior to Hongjun's.

If he weren't truly stronger than Hongjun, he wouldn't even want to be enemies with him.

"If you have the guts, come in! Hongjun, you son of a turtle! Do you not have the courage to enter my Immortal Slaying Sword Formation today?!"

Good heavens, being provoked repeatedly, Hongjun admitted, this move was quite effective.

Hongjun shouted:

"If you have the guts, come out! We won't gang up on you, are you afraid to come out and fight me one-on-one?"

Hongjun stated: How much is a thick skin worth? Everyone thinks I'm full of schemes, so no matter what I do, they'll think it's a scheme.

"Hahahaha, you say I don't have the courage? Weren't you scared away by my Immortal Slaying Sword Formation before?!!!"

"Hehehe, didn't the result turn out the same? You only dare to act tough relying on the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, if you have the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one?!!!!"

"Hmph! You spineless rat who doesn't even dare to enter my sword formation, and you have the nerve to talk about me?!!!"

"A scumbag who doesn't even dare to come out and fight one-on-one actually dares to call himself the Demon Ancestor?!!!"

"Hongjun! You old geezer!!!"

"Luohu! You son of a turtle!!!"

Hongjun and Luohu were shouting at each other from a distance.

"Cough cough..."

Yang Mei finally couldn't help but speak.

He felt that if the scolding continued, Luohu might actually come out.

After all, he could hear the tone of their shouting.

Hongjun appeared indifferent, while Luohu became increasingly enraged.

Although he didn't know what Hongjun's next move meant, adhering to the principle of not letting Hongjun succeed in his schemes, he naturally came out to stop Hongjun's plan...

Sorry, this fool had completely forgotten that the matter started because of him.

So, he hid and said to Hongjun:

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, in my opinion, that Luohu doesn't dare to come out, why don't we go in."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun's gaze turned to the crowd behind him, and he frowned:

"Everyone, to be frank, I have already learned the Heavenly Secrets."
