Each faction had its own judgment, knowing that unless both sects used all their Golden Core cultivators, they might not be able to completely eradicate the Heart-Eroding Stronghold Valley.
The master of Heart-Eroding Stronghold is mysterious and has not been seen for many years. In the past, it was usually this deputy master of Heart-Eroding Stronghold, who is now at the Early Golden Core Stage, who gave orders.
No one knows this person's specific name; he is only respectfully referred to as the "True Person Bone-Corroding" by outsiders.
As the saying goes, even a centipede with a hundred legs does not fall down when dead.
If we are not absolutely certain that we can completely wipe out his entire gang, and the lord of the village escapes, without the Heart-Eroding Stronghold as a constraint, he will be single-mindedly focused on revenge, which will cause both families a great deal of trouble.
That's what they say, but the process can't just end there.
The arrival of the True Person Xuanguang, or rather, the Spirit-Seeking Sect, was merely a pretext for all three parties.
The venerable swordsman of the Jing Kingdom, Old True Person He, spoke slowly, his slightly hoarse voice emanating from the bright sword light, saying, "The five prefectures, neither of our two families will relinquish them."
"This is the price that Heart-Eroding Stronghold paid for offending my Empty Sword Sect and killing many of my Empty Sword Sect disciples."
Rotting Bone was seething with hatred, but with two Late Golden Core Stage cultivators in front of him, how could he, a junior in the Early Golden Core Stage, have the right to speak? Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and say, "In any case, strength will speak for itself. It's not appropriate to use Foundation Establishment. Let the heroes of my sect fight it out."
"Whoever wins, their word counts!"
Following the death of a Foundation Establishment on Azure Light Mountain, two more Foundation Establishment have died in succession in Heart-Eroding Stronghold in the past few months.
Although they were all juniors in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, the deaths of three of them in a row were a devastating blow to his family. No wonder they are now saying that " Foundation Establishment are not easy to use."
Let the heroes under your tutelage fight a battle...
Chen Shuangbai then realized that what he had said a few months ago had come true here.
Old True Person He turned his gaze to True Person Bo, who treated the old True Person with True Person Bo and said in a calm tone, "Senior, you are highly respected. Please speak."
The two families had already discussed this beforehand; it's just a show now.
Old True Person He then said, "Then let's have a fight. If you lose, you'd better tuck your tail between your legs and go back home."
"You..."
Rotting Bone was seething with hatred, but he couldn't utter a single curse. He could only raise his hand and pull three people out of his own camp.
These three individuals, both male and female, were described as either wickedly charming and arrogant, sinister and cunning, or having the piercing gaze of an eagle and the menacing look of a wolf... Clearly, none of them were ordinary people.
With a flash of magical light in Exalted Cultivator Huo's hand, Chen Shuangbai and the other four unconsciously flew up from the peak and landed in front of the formation.
Seeing this, True Person Xuanguang smiled and said, "In that case... then this junior will set up this spectacle."
That's all.
He raised his hand and pointed, and a huge, square piece of ground cracked open and floated up into the air, creating a training ground suspended in mid-air.
The ten people landed below, their eyes clashing across a distance of several dozen feet.
The True Person Xuanguang again, and a point of golden light fell into the arena. Instantly, beams of light rose up, enveloping the entire arena. He then said, "This duel must end when the point is reached. No malicious intent should be harbored, or you will be declared the loser."
Chen Shuangbai looked at the person opposite her and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"There are five of us on our side, and only three on the other side... This..."
really.
Then the True Person Xuanguang said again, " Heart-Eroding Stronghold, it is naturally not as numerous as the Jade Spring and Kong Jian families. To be fair, my family will send two people to complete this battle of heroes."
Two of the people behind him landed and approached the three from the Heart-Eroding Stronghold. Both were handsome, but their eyes held an inscrutable look.
Chen Shuangbai glanced briefly at the sky.
The True Person Xuanguang possessed the appearance and demeanor of a righteous and virtuous master, but what he truly thought was... truly impossible to discern.
However, since True Person Bo had no objections, he must have his own plans.
The group landed, and upon hearing this, their expressions varied.
"After going through all this trouble, you just wanted to test the mettle of the younger generation from both families, huh?"
Lu Mingxuan's voice was slightly low, hovering in their ears.
Feng Jintang and Qu Ling both nodded slightly in agreement, their expressions similar.
Chen Shuangbai looked at Yan Heng, who was holding a bamboo cane. Her gray-white eyes were staring at the person in front of her, as if she were in a daze or in meditation, and she remained silent.
Upon hearing True Person Xuanguang's words, True Person Bo remained calm and noncommittal. The sword light that Old True Person He had transformed into also fell silent, clearly indicating his tacit agreement.
Not long after.
The five people opposite them stood still.
There weren't many rules for this duel; it was just a free choice, one-on-one.
The three from Heart-Eroding Stronghold a cold and sinister aura. One was surrounded by a faint, dark red blood mist, another had pitch-black fingers that gleamed with an eerie light, and the last woman had a pale face and empty eyes, toying with a colorful jade spider in her hand.
Hundred Poisons Lineage the Evil Bone, Resentful Blood, and Hundred Poisons lineages have all arrived.
As for the one from the Spirit-Seeking Sect, dressed in golden robes and radiating a golden glow, he clearly practiced the Earth Element Dharma.
The True Person Xuanguang said loudly, "In that case, you may choose your own opponents... Hmm, this time the Jade Spring and Kong Jian sects have the advantage, so logically your two sects should make the first move."
The five exchanged glances, Lu Mingxuan stepped forward, saying, "Then let me try out the tricks of these Heart-Eroding Beasts."
Chen Shuangbai and the others nodded.
Lu Mingxuan stepped forward, casually pointing at the tall, slender man among the three from the Heart-Eroding Stronghold whose ten fingers were jet black and gleamed with an eerie light, and said, "Come and fight!"
A hint of coldness appeared on the man's face. Without uttering a word, he raised his hand and waved it, sending several Evil Bone puppets flying out in a row. Their auras were faintly connected, forming an evil array.
" Lu Mingxuan, I know you..."
The man chuckled in a low voice, " Evil Bone Sun Chen, come and fight!"
Standing on a high cliff, Chen Shuangbai looked out and saw that the puppets controlled by Sun Chen were indeed formidable. Not only were they incredibly strong, but they also contained a small amount of potent poison, making them extremely frightening.
But Lu Mingxuan didn't care about any of that. The [ Yellow Dust Sword ] in his hand drew out streaks of crystal-clear Sword Qi. No matter what kind of puppet or poison you were, they were all useless under the powerful Sword Qi.
After several moves, Sun Chen's puppets were reduced to rubble, and he himself was repeatedly pushed to the brink of defeat, ultimately suffering a regrettable loss.
Lu Mingxuan sheathed his Law Sword, a joyful smile on his face.
"Oh!"
Empty Sword Sect was determined to take down the people from Heart-Eroding Stronghold, so the next two matches would naturally be fought by Qu Ling and Feng Jintang.
These two are both direct descendants of the younger generation of the Empty Sword Sect, members of the [ Five Edges of the Empty Sword Sect ], and their strength is naturally outstanding, completely Heart-Eroding Stronghold.
Qu Ling won, while Feng Jintang suffered a regrettable defeat.
The one who defeated Feng Jintang was the female cultivator from the Heart-Eroding Hundred Poisons Lineage lineage who was playing with a colorful jade spider. Her eyes were empty, and she showed no joy at winning against Feng Jintang. She remained cold and inhuman, which made people's hair stand on end.
