Chapter 531: Verbal Sparring

Wu Yan's eyes were fixed on the Spiritual Appraisal Ball, with a thoughtful look on his face. After a long while, he smiled coldly, seeming to understand something.

"What a vicious strategy. Unfortunately, they forgot where this is and underestimated our ability to monitor and control Crocodile Dragon Island."

"Leader, what conspiracy do they really have?" Xuan Yaozi couldn't help but asked strangely after hearing Wu Yan's meaningless words.

Wu Yan pointed at the dozen or so thumb-sized white light spots that had spread out on the spirit appraisal ball, and said to Xuan Yazi: "Look, these dozen guys quickly dispersed as soon as they arrived here. . These guys have been on this island for a long time. If they don't have a thorough understanding of the situation on the island, they will never survive. They must not be ordered to spy on the reality of the Sea Clan. , probably to spread some news. A few days ago, Ma Ming and the others had already discovered the existence of the Bagua Formation Eye. I think they probably wanted to use the Sea Clan to attack the Bagua Formation Eye, and then use our large formation. Use your strength to deal with these sea tribes and monsters, so that they can enjoy the benefits of being fishermen. "

Xuan Yaozi sneered and said: "Hmph, they underestimate the power of the Wuji Yuan Locking Formation handed down from my ancestors of the Xuan family. Leader, don't worry, as long as I am here, no one of them can break through the Bagua Formation. "

Wu Yan sighed with some emotion and said: "No wonder the human monks of Xumihai have been unable to force the sea people back to the abyss for so many years. In this critical period of the war, they don't think about how to unite us. We discussed strategies to defend against the enemy together, but instead wanted to use the hands of the Sea Clan to destroy our island defense formation, force us away from the island, and even kill us. Such a chilling move must have been popular in all hunts over the years. It should be commonplace in sea battles, right?"

Xuan Yaozi was silent, pondered for a moment, and said: "Cult Leader, why should we care about what they do? Our goal is to preserve ourselves and grow rapidly in this troubled world. When we become stronger in the future, we Let’s find the way back to Tianzhou Continent. Our roots are in Tianzhou, not here, so why bother?”

Wu Yan looked at Xuan Yazi, slightly surprised. It seems that even though Xuan Yaozi has lived in this world of Xumihai Immortal Cultivation for hundreds of years, and even his ancestors have passed down to his generation for thousands of years, he still has no sense of belonging to this Xumihai Cultivation World. , from this we can also imagine how cruel the suppression suffered by the monks of Tianzhou Continent in this Sumeru Sea.

Even Xuan Yaozi has no sense of belonging to the Xumihai Immortal Realm. Wu Yan, a newly arrived monk from Tianzhou, is naturally even less likely to have any sense of belonging. He just sighed.

If he was not alone, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in Xumihai, he had to gain recognition from the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance, why would Wu Yan have to work so hard?

In this Sumeru Sea, the cultivation resources available to those who are not directly orthodox are extremely limited, and their status is still very low. They are often swayed by the four major sects and the Hunting Sea Alliance. Where do you have enough time and energy to go there? Practice?

"I think Ma Ming and others will take action soon. Their target is actually you, senior brother. However, there is nothing they can do if you remain hidden, senior brother. Thinking about it, their next step must be to destroy the formation and capture My nephew and the others are here to force you to show up. Senior brother, do you have any good ideas to solve this situation?" Wu Yan asked Xuan Yazi in a deep voice.

After listening to Wu Yan's words, Xuan Yaozi nodded with a thoughtful expression. After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and said: "They want to drive the tiger to devour the wolf and reap the benefits of the fishermen. We might as well use their trick and pretend to be invincible to open the door." At the corner of the formation, let this sea demon clan leave the island. I think they are definitely more afraid of these sea demon clan being able to escape. You know, there are only a few sea demon clan armies of this size in the demon sea. If they are released, the pressure on the disciples of the various factions participating in the Hunting Sea War will be even greater. In fact, once this group of sea demons are released, they may immediately attack the parked Hunting Sea Shenzhou and Wuyun War Boat."

"Hahaha, senior brother, we want to go together. That's it. Senior brother, please contact your nephew and the others, inform them of this meaning, and let them act accordingly." Wu Yan said with a smile.

Xuan Yaozi nodded and said: "Okay, brother, I will try to inform them now."

After saying that, Xuan Yaozi made a secret and punched a series of formation control techniques into the spirit mirror ball. On the spiritual appraisal ball, a bright white light shines, and the flowing catalog keeps changing with the white light, deriving various strange combinations of rules.

Wu Yan stared at the Spiritual Appraisal Ball intently for a long time, said a few words to Xuan Yaozi, and immediately walked out of the control room and appeared above the valley.

Half a day later, Wu Yan received the summons from Ma Ming, inviting him to meet outside Hemlock Ridge.

Wu Yan had already made up his mind, and without hesitation, he flew through the air with his sword and appeared at the agreed upon location a moment later.

Ma Ming, Xiao Hai, Shi Yan, Gui Shura, and Xuanyuan Jiyu were all there. The elite monks from various factions gathered by them did not appear. It seemed that they should still be hiding in the foothold of Hemlock Ridge.

"City Master Ma, elders, is everything going well?" Wu Yan smiled calmly and greeted the five of them with his hands raised.

Ma Ming looked solemn and said: "Master Wu, after an investigation by the five elders of our investigation team, we finally found out some things that happened on the island. Now, on behalf of the Sea Hunting Alliance, this city lord wants to investigate a major matter with you. I hope you will Please cooperate with our investigation team and tell the truth.”

Wu Yan's expression remained unchanged and he said: "City Lord Ma, please tell me. As long as Wu knows anything, he will tell you everything."

The other four people were all staring at Wu Yan at this time, but no one spoke. Ma Ming asked in a deep voice: "Master Wu, have you seen Elder Ni Daoxi in the past few months?"

Wu Yan shook his head and said: "Mr. Ma, you don't know, right? This old guy and I have never been on good terms. Where can I meet him? By the way, I heard that this old guy disappeared not long after landing on the island. Could it be that Has something unexpected happened to him or has he done something unspeakable and is hiding? "

Ma Ming and others did not expect that Wu Yan actually talked about Ni Daoxi without hesitation, and his face was natural, even with a little disgust and hatred, as if mentioning this person made him very annoying, and there was no clue at all. Come.

"You really didn't kill Elder Ni Daoxi?" Xiao Hai stepped on a cloud of blood and suddenly stepped forward a few feet, staring at Wu Yandao.

"Master Xiao, what do you mean by this? Do you think that Mr. Ni Daoxi's disappearance is related to Mr. Wu? Hum, although Mr. Wu hates this person and even wishes to kill him with his own hands, after the sea hunting war started, Wu I haven't even seen this old man, how can I kill him? Mr. Ni Daoxi has always been greedy. I heard that the Crocodile Dragon King has a treasure cave with a rich collection that is comparable to the entire wealth of the four major families in the Sea Hunting Alliance. . This old man Ni Daoxi may have found the treasure cave of the Crocodile Dragon King, swept away the treasures, and then hid. You actually suspect that this old man's disappearance is related to Wu. It's so funny. ?" Wu Yan sneered. Wu Yan also didn't expect that his face would become so thick, and he would tell lies without blinking an eyelid.

However, he is not a Buddhist monk who practices abstinence from grammar, so naturally he will not have any taboos about this.

Ma Ming and others' expressions changed after hearing Wu Yan's words. They obviously knew about the treasure cave Wu Yan mentioned. However, the five people seemed to have missed this point in their previous discussion. Thinking about it now, everyone's reaction was different.

But no matter what the five people were thinking, it was obvious that at this moment they were all shaken by the rumor that Wu Yan was the murderer of Ni Daoxi. After all, Ni Daoxi had joined forces with Old Man Ghost Sword and led thirty monks in the Danjie Stage to leave the Sea Hunting Island Capture Team. No one knows whether they are really looking for trouble with Wu Yan or if they have another hidden agenda.

Even, according to everyone's understanding of Ni Daoxi and Old Man Gui Jian, if these two people really discovered the treasure cave of King Crocodile Dragon, they might really pull off such a trick to conceal the truth and make people mistakenly think that they were looking for Wu. In order to solve Yan's trouble, he actually feinted and secretly unearthed the Crocodile Dragon King's treasure, then hid, and waited until the hunting sea war was over, then found an excuse to show up, and concealed the matter without anyone noticing.

The five people looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know how to interrogate Wu Yan on this matter. Because they don't have any evidence to prove that Ni Daoxi's disappearance is related to Wu Yan. Just relying on some groundless rumors is not credible.

"Amitabha! Good, good! Lord Wu has such a clever mouth. Lord Wu, not to mention how secret and difficult to find the treasure cave of King Crocodile Dragon. As far as I know, when Elder Ni Daoxi led everyone to land on this island, he One thing was to search for the treasure cave, but they spent several days searching all the caves in Zhenshui Peak, but could not find any trace of the treasure cave. Later, under the urging of Elder Feng Tianshou, they did so. I had to give up the search for the Crocodile Dragon King's treasure cave and start building a garrison camp for our human monks in the Water and Fire Valley Spiritual Land. How can you justify your words despite your eloquent words?" Master Shi Yan clasped his hands together and raised his eyes. Like a knife, he stared at Wu Yandao with righteous words.

"Yes, Master Wu, if you want to prove that you have nothing to do with the disappearance of Elder Ni Daoxi, it is useless to just rely on words. I think you'd better come up with some favorable evidence." Xuanyuan Jiyu suddenly said.

Wu Yan looked troubled, but his heart trembled, and he thought to himself, if these guys really insist on this matter, they will still be a nuisance and trouble after all. After pondering for a while, Wu Yan glanced at the five people coldly and said, "Elders, what do you want?"

The five people looked at each other and showed a hint of joy. Wu Yan was shocked when he saw this, and suddenly realized that he had fallen into the verbal trap designed by these people.

"If Lord Wu wants to prove his innocence, he only needs to lead the five of us to your team's stronghold. Lord Wu, don't worry, we just want to ask the disciples of your team. When we are in the middle stage of Nascent Soul and other monks' spiritual pressure and Under the pressure of spiritual consciousness, ordinary foundation-building disciples would never dare to lie. As long as your disciples can prove that this matter has nothing to do with you, it means that Lord Wu is innocent in this matter. , what do you think? We are doing this for your own good, and we hope Master Wu will think twice." Ghost Shura Jiejie said in a sinister tone.
