Dragons battle in the wilds, their blood black and yellow

"The path of cultivation is far more arduous than you imagine. Let's not discuss taking a master again; we are no longer destined to be together."

At this moment, Daoist Lü's expression turned serious, and he spoke definitively.

Seeing that Wu Cunyi looked somewhat dejected and at a loss, he continued to speak.

"Considering our brief acquaintance today, let me offer you a piece of advice."

"Dragons fight in the wilderness, their blood is black and yellow, bright pearls are covered in dust, their brilliance is tarnished."

"Immortal Lü, what is the meaning of this?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Cunyi couldn't help but ask a question.

"A battle among heroes in the wilderness—a terrible omen."

Having said this, Daoist Lü shook his head and turned to walk away into the distance.

Knowing that Wu Cunyi would not let him leave so easily, Daoist Lü was about to use Law Technique to conceal himself.

Suddenly, a thought struck him: a young man was smiling at him from not far ahead.

Behind him stood a group of disciples dressed in blue robes with the characters "Yu Xu" embroidered on the right side of the robes.

Daoist Lü was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, then suddenly realized what was happening.

Disciple of Jade Void Mountain!

The person in front of me looks unfamiliar; it's neither Qingyun nor Qingcheng.

However, they must be fellow Daoists.

With this thought in mind, Daoist Lü quickly stepped forward.

"I never expected to meet you here, fellow Daoist. May I ask your name?"

"I am Fang Zelin, and I greet Fellow Daoist Lü."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin immediately bowed and said...

"Fellow Daoist Fang? Is that the senior who wrote the ' Scripture of Salvation' on Jade Void Mountain, attracting Jade Void disciples to flock to the Seeking Dao Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Lü was startled and quickly asked to confirm.

"It was merely something I wrote on a whim. The disciples of Jade Void are all insightful, and with this, their cultivation improved somewhat before they entered the Seeking Dao Mountain."

Fang Zelin remained remarkably modest.

Judging from this, did someone spread the word about this during the two weeks we spent at Jade Void Mountain?

"It really is Fellow Daoist Fang. Fellow Daoist Fang's name has been renowned for half a month. It is an honor to meet you today."

Upon hearing this, Fellow Daoist Lü bowed deeply in respect.

"I had long heard of your name, Fellow Daoist, and after entering the city, I came to find you based on the folk tales. I never expected to witness your destiny so unexpectedly."

Fang Zelin's words at this point did indeed seem to indicate that he had gained some insight.

I had never seen anything like this before, so seeing it today was quite strange.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't speak ill of the old beggar. That man met the old beggar once before, when he told his fortune."

Daoist Lü could only smile wryly; his methods were utterly futile in front of Fang Zelin.

Even just hearing about Fang Zelin's affairs, I knew that his abilities were extremely profound, far beyond my own.

Seeing Daoist Lü's reaction, Fang Zelin knew that the other party had misunderstood, but he didn't know how to explain. "This isn't the place to talk. How about we find a place to sit down and discuss this further?"

"That's how it should be!"

Daoist Lü responded and then walked away into the distance.

Upon Wu Cunyi immediately realized what was happening and took a step to chase after them.

However, a mist rose up, and within a few breaths, when the mist dissipated, the immortals had vanished without a trace.

Wu Cunyi there dumbfounded, watching this scene unfold.

Was that young man's cultivation level even higher than Immortal Lü's?

Wu Cunyi was stunned as he thought about what he had just witnessed.

He remembered that young man very clearly.

He was attracted to the other person when he first met them, but then he realized that the other person was not Immortal Lü, so he didn't go up to speak to them.

In fact, he guessed correctly; the other party was not Immortal Lü, but he also missed his fortuitous opportunity.

Having only met Immortal Lü once, the other party gave him a piece of advice.

If I were to meet that young man even once, given his profound cultivation, what fortuitous opportunity could I possibly gain?

Surely, he's no less skilled than Immortal Lü!

Thinking of this, Wu Cunyi felt a sharp pain in his heart.

To meet an immortal but miss the chance is a truly painful feeling.

When Wu Cunyi returned to the mansion somewhat unsteadily, he was immediately welcomed inside.

When his subordinate presented his few words, Wu Cunyi broke out in a cold sweat, and all his previous thoughts vanished instantly.

"What did you say? The three warlords have dispatched their troops in three separate routes, preparing to decide the outcome in one battle?"

"Yes, this is the battle report from the front!"

Wu Cunyi picked up the letter, read it carefully, and his expression instantly turned serious. "If you're preparing for a decisive battle, how are you so sure they won't join forces?"

Sending out such troops, what if some of them secretly form an alliance?

Thinking about this, and then recalling what Immortal Lü had just said, Wu Cunyi immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"My lord, even if we join forces, we can still secretly form alliances with others, can't we?"

"Hmph, perhaps they've already secretly formed an alliance to attack me? The three armies have moved out so smoothly, without any concern about others forming an alliance. Those guys aren't stupid; how could they be completely unprepared?"

There must be something fishy going on!

Wu Cunyi only needed a moment to think about it before he sensed something was wrong. Moreover, as Immortal Lü had said, dragons fighting in the wild, their blood turning black and yellow, was an ominous sign.

"Sir, surely it doesn't have to be this way?"

The subordinates couldn't help but feel terrified. If that were really the case, wouldn't they have absolutely no chance of winning?

Three armies—how could they possibly defeat them?

"Hmph, I'm afraid the rumors of immortals in the county have already reached their ears, and their worry is that they've formed an alliance."

Wu Cunyi deep breath and roughly guessed the reason.

In order to create momentum and legitimize his future rule, he showed no restraint whatsoever when he went around building his reputation.

Such a show of force must have made those three uneasy.

Think about it carefully, where do other people have immortals? And they all sound so convincing.

Moreover, so many ordinary people witnessed immortals battling each other.

From this perspective, it seems to pose too high a threat to oneself.

Therefore, if they don't take this opportunity to eliminate the other party, they might be out of luck if the other party actually finds that immortal.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for them to join forces to deal with him.

"Alas, it's time to stop now."

Wu Cunyi understood that at this point, there was nothing more he could do.

If he dares to continue, the three warlords will show absolutely no mercy.

But now, it's proving difficult for him to back down.

After all, if the three warlords attack, everything on his side will belong to the other side.

The only option now is to choose one of them to surrender.

At that point, the alliance between the three will naturally crumble on its own.

However, the person chosen should be carefully considered; only a sincere person should be selected.

After pondering this for Wu Cunyi quickly came up with an idea.
