Su Mu, standing behind, took a few steps back upon seeing the scene before him.
The guy opposite them seemed to be much stronger than Luo Yan and the others; it was unclear whether he would suddenly turn on them and kill them.
Luo Yan and the others had grim expressions. This Wind Scar Grass was worth thousands of Spirit Stone, and they were truly unwilling to give it up so easily.
But at that moment, upon noticing that Su Mu had taken a step back, he couldn't help but frown.
This guy, you've already taken a step back before the fight even started?
Several people were dissatisfied, but then they thought better of it and let it go.
This guy is only at the Qi Refining stage; it doesn't matter whether the other person is there or not.
Seeing the battle between Foundation Establishment cultivators, it was indeed beyond the other party's control.
What are your plans?
Luo Yan glanced at the number of people on the other side: six Foundation Establishment cultivators and three Qi Refining Late Stage cultivators.
Among them are one Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, three Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and two Foundation Establishment Early Stage.
They seem to be a bit stronger than them, but it doesn't seem like they can't fight them.
Despite the slight difference in strength, he was confident in his Law Treasure and felt he could put up a fight.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenfeng and the others exchanged glances, about to say something, when Su Mu hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and spoke.
"Gentlemen, as Qingshan, we can always fight another day. Let's back down this time and wait..."
Judging from their expressions, they seem to be planning a battle of wits with the other side.
If they can't win, these people will definitely run away on their own, and then Su Mu will be in trouble.
The journey back alone was too treacherous.
He decided to try and persuade these people anyway; if all else failed, he could always find some people to help them get revenge later.
With Yu Guyue around, figuring out where the other person is should be quite simple, right?
Before Su Mu could finish speaking, the woman surnamed Shang tossed her head and said coldly.
"This is worth eight thousand Spirit Stone. How many Spirit Stone do you think the Great Liang will give us if we send you back? If you're cowardly and afraid of trouble, then just go back by yourself! How can you succeed on the path of cultivation by cowering and shrinking back?"
The woman surnamed Shang was extremely impatient, feeling that Su Mu had already lost face by taking a step back before the battle even began.
Now we have to persuade them to let things go, how could they possibly agree?
That's eight thousand Spirit Stone! How many pills could that buy?
"That's right. With such resources right in front of us, if we don't even have the will to fight for them, what's the point of cultivating immortality?"
Li Chenfeng also spoke up in agreement at this moment.
They could all see that Su Mu was only focused on getting them to escort the other person back.
But they wouldn't give up the resources right in front of them so easily.
Su Mu listened helplessly, knowing that even if he said that seniors would help them get justice later, they probably wouldn't believe him.
Luo Yan was overjoyed to hear this. "Good! It seems that you fellow Daoists share the same thoughts as me. The resources are right in front of us. How can we just hand them over without fighting for them?"
"Ha, you should have listened to that kid and left immediately."
In the distance, the man in black watched this scene and couldn't help but shake his head.
Luo Yan's expression was cold and stern. He gave a look to the people beside him, signaling that he was about to make a move.
Li Chenfeng and the others understood each other, and their Spiritual Power quietly surged.
However, at that moment, a sudden burst of spiritual light appeared all around, and a light barrier enveloped them all.
Upon seeing this, Su Mu was immediately alarmed. His flying sword appeared in front of him, followed by a flash of starlight.
The next moment, Su Mu appeared at the edge of the light screen, but he couldn't fly out.
Luo Yan and the others acted with extraordinary speed. Just as Su Mu appeared at the edge of the light screen, all of them appeared one by one.
However, their path was firmly blocked by the light barrier, preventing them from escaping.
"See? I told you you should listen to that kid. But since you're unwilling, leave everything you have on you."
The man in black stepped forward, smiling broadly as he spoke.
At this moment, three more Foundation Establishment cultivators appeared around them.
Upon seeing this, Luo Yan and the others' expressions completely changed.
If it were just these six Foundation Establishment cultivators, they would still be confident in fighting them, but now...
With three Foundation Establishment cultivators suddenly appearing, their side was already at a disadvantage.
From the very beginning, the other party intended to keep them all here.
"What should we do? What kind of formation is this? Do you recognize it?"
Luo Yan gripped his axe tightly, watching the cultivators in the distance warily.
"It should be the Six Formations. You'll need half an incense stick's time to break it."
After examining it carefully for a moment, Li Chenfeng spoke with concentration.
Upon hearing this, everyone around them held their breath slightly.
Half an incense stick's time? Would the other side really give that much time?
If the enemy breaks through their formation, the four of them won't be able to withstand their attack.
The group of people found the situation quite troublesome.
Meanwhile, Su Mu, who was hiding behind them, also had an extremely ugly expression. He had told them to leave earlier, so why did they insist on staying?
Now, everyone's stuck here.
Su Mu was a little nervous.
The group of cultivators in the distance stopped delaying. They had already stalled for enough time, trapping these cultivators here. Now they could kill them and steal their Storage Bag.
These cultivators are already heading back; they must have found quite a few good things before preparing to return.
"Do it!"
The black-clad cultivator flicked his hand, and countless talismans floated out. Then, with a flash of spiritual light, fireballs, water arrows, and other objects rained down on Su Mu.
Upon seeing this Luo Yan and the others' expressions hardened, and they were the first to pick up their giant axes and smash them at the Law Technique in front of them.
Seeing this, the others behind them immediately followed.
While Su Mu was still thinking about how to escape and whether to use the Dao Lotus, he suddenly saw the scene in front of him and was stunned.
This seems a little different from the great battle he envisioned?
When these cultivators started fighting, it looked a bit like they were playing house.
However, upon further reflection, Su Mu immediately realized that these people were merely Foundation Establishment cultivators, and their Nascent Soul prowess could never be as strong as that of Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Boom!"
Just as Su Mu was pondering this, a loud explosion suddenly erupted in front of him.
Various talismans flashed in front of them, then suddenly knocked Luo Yan and the others back heavily.
Upon closer inspection, Luo Yan's giant axe was shattered in several places, and it was probably ruined.
Looking at Li Chenfeng and the others, they were all pale and breathing heavily, probably because they had just suffered a great loss together.
Just then, a surge of Law Technique light erupted from the front, rushing directly towards Su Mu and the others.
Upon seeing this, Luo Yan and the others turned pale, already powerless to resist.
Seeing this, Su Mu sighed helplessly. If they died, it would be difficult for him to return to the village with just a single Dao Lotus.
Thinking of this, Su Mu opened his right hand, and a blue lotus flower was slowly turning.
