Chapter 533: Too Cunning

Inside the valley, Wu Yan broke free from Ma Ming's arm, looked at Ma Ming with a very ugly face, and said angrily: "City Lord Ma, what are you doing? Why do you want to stop me from rushing to the rescue of our team's attack?"

Ma Ming was not angry, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, don't worry. With Elder Xiao and others coming forward, and the elite disciples of the four sects and the alliance gathered on the island, we will rush to the rescue. The attack of the sea clan is nothing. I believe that good news will come soon. Come, come, come, brother Wu, just wait here for good news. Taking this opportunity, this city lord and Master Shi Yan will investigate and inquire about the ten selected disciples to clear your name."

"Okay, very good, City Lord Ma, good calculation! Humph, you are really, really cunning! Forget it, just investigate it carefully, humph, I really have nothing to say to you!" Wu Yan sighed dejectedly and stomped his feet as if he had accepted his fate. After a moment, he turned around and saw many disciples standing next to him, looking at each other in bewilderment. He immediately waved his hand and said angrily: "What are you all doing here? Those who have not been selected for investigation and questioning, go back to your house!"

Everyone immediately returned to their own caves and wooden houses, closed the doors tightly, and speculated about what happened in their minds.

Immediately, Ma Ming used his spiritual power to cover the five hard-working casual cultivators and questioned them with his spiritual power. Master Shi Yan used his spiritual power to cover the five direct disciples of the Baoxiao team and also questioned them with his spiritual power.

The five hard-working casual cultivators naturally did not know about the fierce battle that took place in the valley that day, and Ma Ming could not ask anything. The five direct disciples of the Baoxiao team were devoted to the Baoxiao team and even more loyal to Wu Yan. No matter how Master Shi Yan oppressed them with his spiritual power, he could not ask anything.

In fact, Ma Ming and Shi Yan were just pretending to do this, and their minds were no longer here.

Wu Yan stared at the two coldly, without saying a word, showing an attitude of resigning himself to fate.

As time passed, the two were still asking questions, but as time went by, Xiao Hai and others who went to help did not come back, and there was no movement at all. The two gradually showed doubts and anxiety on their faces.

"You two, you have been asking for so long, haven't you finished? Look, the disciples of my team are almost mentally collapsed by your spiritual pressure. You don't want to take this opportunity to kill the disciples of my Baoxiao team?" Suddenly, Wu Yan, who had been standing aside coldly, asked loudly.

Ma Ming and Shi Yan were shocked to find that the ten disciples who were questioned were all sweating and pale, and they looked like they were mentally exhausted and their souls could not bear the pressure.

The two of them quickly put away their spiritual pressure. After looking at each other, Master Shiyan raised his hand and took out a small white jade bottle, handed it to a disciple who was questioned, and said to Wu Yan with a hint of apology on his face: "Haha, Master Wu, we have finished asking. From the answers of these disciples, Master Wu really has nothing to do with this matter. These ten soul-replenishing pills are top-grade pills refined by our sect that can help restore the consumption of the soul. Give them to them as compensation."

The disciple did not take the jade bottle handed over by Master Shiyan, but looked at Wu Yan. Wu Yan nodded and said: "Why don't you thank Master Shiyan? Hurry up and take the share, swallow it quickly, meditate and rest, don't leave any hidden dangers."

The disciple's face was happy, he took the small jade bottle, carefully poured out ten soul-replenishing pills, and each person was given one. After thanking Master Shiyan, he apologized to Wu Yan and left, hurriedly returned to his residence, and closed the door to practice.

"Since you two have finished your investigation, shouldn't you accompany me to see how the battle is going at Shengmen?" Wu Yan said with a cold face.

According to the prior discussion of the five people, the two naturally did not want to leave here, but after Wu Yan said that, the two could not find any excuse to stay here. Thinking that such a long time had passed, three mid-stage Yuanying cultivators had taken action, and there were a large number of sea creatures attacking, it was time to take down the array center, right? The two nodded immediately and said, "Of course, the two of us will accompany Master Wu to the array center of Shengmen to see how the battle is going."

The three of them immediately flew into the air with their flying tools, transformed into three escape lights, and fled in the direction of the array center of Shengmen. The large array outside the valley suddenly closed after the three left.

The array center of Shengmen is located at the edge of Zhenyang Swamp Beach northeast of Zhenshui Peak, and its location is actually quite hidden. It turned out that before the large array was opened, this array center had never been discovered by the monsters of Crocodile Jiao Island. Even if there were monsters passing by, most of them died under the blood-sucking demon vines, and their bodies rotted in the Zhenyang Swamp.

This Shengmen array eye is a lucky array eye among the power of the Eight Diagrams Locking Gate. This array eye can open a special space channel that connects the inside and outside of the large array. The Kaimen and Xiumen array eyes among the eight array eyes are actually the same, belonging to the lucky array eyes. The three lucky array eyes focus on defense and have no attack power. The three gates of death, shock, and injury are the evil array eyes, focusing on attack power. Falling into these three gate array eyes, it is a dead end. The other two gates, Dumen and Jingmen, belong to the middle level array eyes, combining offense and defense. These two array eyes are located at the north and south ends of the Water and Fire Valley Spiritual Land.

Among the eight array eyes, only this Shengmen array eye has almost no attack power and belongs to the full defense array eye. The sea demons chose this array eye to launch a crazy attack. There must be a monk who is familiar with the Eight Diagrams Locking Gate Array behind them. Otherwise, with the knowledge of the sea people, they would never find this.

Wu Yan was a little depressed, but fortunately, this Wuji Locking Yuan Formation was not just a powerful formation with the Eight Diagrams Locking Gate. The Eight Diagrams Locking Gate was not originally used for attack, but for defense and blockade.

As long as Xuan Yazi and his nine disciples were fine, the Eight Diagrams Locking Yuan Formation would not be broken.

When the three arrived at the eye of the Shengmen Formation, they saw a large number of sea creatures, under the command of dozens of sea creature demons, rushing towards a hundred-foot-long light curtain like moths to a flame.

The light curtain emitted an extremely strong and blazing white light. After the sea creatures collided with the light ball, there was a violent collision sound. The light curtain of the light ball flickered, but it still stubbornly covered there, without any sign of being broken.

A black-skinned sea demon commander who was more than two feet tall was standing on a dark demon cloud, standing in the air a hundred feet high, staring anxiously at the sea creatures below who were constantly being bounced away by the power of the light curtain.

Some of the sea creatures who rushed towards the light curtain desperately were bounced into the sky, and hurriedly used their weapons to stabilize their bodies. Some were caught off guard and fell into the Zhenyang Swamp below after being knocked away. They screamed in pain because of the corrosive mud and water in the swamp. Some of the unlucky ones were even swallowed up by the swamp and died.

What was even more bizarre was that from time to time, dark red thick and strange vines would flash out from the light curtain. The tip of the snake-like demon vine would pierce a sea creature, and then it would be thrown away hundreds of feet away.

Any sea creatures pierced by these strange dark red vines were like paper, and they couldn't even scream. They were sucked dry of their essence and thrown out in an instant. When they fell, they had become a pool of meat paste, corroded by the True Yang Swamp without even a dregs left.

The most bizarre thing was that there was not a single human cultivator in this battlefield with a radius of thousands of feet. Not only did the three of them not see any trace of the three elders including Xiao Hai, but even the more than 200 elite disciples from the four sects who came to help were nowhere to be seen.

Seeing this, Wu Yan finally showed a strange smile on his face, and looked at Ma Ming and Shi Yan.

Ma Ming and Shi Yan were shocked at the same time, obviously they didn't expect such a strange situation. The two of them scanned the area of ​​thousands of feet with their consciousness several times, but didn't find a single hair. Even Master Shi Yan sent out several communication symbols in succession, trying to contact Xiao Hai and others, but after a few moments, he didn't get any response.

The two looked at each other, and could not help but turn their eyes to Wu Yan. After seeing the strange smile on Wu Yan's face, the two finally came to their senses and realized that they were fooled by Wu Yan this time.

The appearance of the three people had already aroused the vigilance of the sea clan demon commander. After sensing that Ma Ming and Shi Yan were both in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and the other one gave him a more dangerous feeling, the sea clan demon commander did not hesitate any more, and immediately stamped his feet, and the dark magic cloud below immediately surged out, and in an instant it turned into a ball of hundreds of feet.

At the command of the sea clan demon commander, all the sea clans that attacked the light curtain stopped attacking and flew quickly into the magic cloud in an orderly manner.

They had only been attacking for less than two hours, and they had already lost nearly a hundred foundation-building stage demon soldiers. While the sea clan demon commander was extremely distressed, he was also very angry at the cunning human race. The news was learned from the human cultivators. As a result, after they rushed to attack the array gate, the group of human cultivators took the opportunity to teleport out of the array eye light curtain and escaped. The sea demons who attacked the light curtain array eye with all their might not only failed to escape, but suffered heavy losses. The demon commander was naturally very angry and his face was ashamed.

The hundreds of feet big demon cloud, carrying more than a thousand sea demons, rushed madly towards the direction of the Water and Fire Valley. Wherever it passed, the monsters with incomparable demon power crawled, and the cultivators were frightened.

Ma Ming and Shi Yan naturally did not dare to do anything to these sea demons. Wu Yan would not provoke these sea demons at this time. The three of them avoided them from a distance and made way.

When the demon cloud flew hundreds of miles away and disappeared completely, the three of them flew to the array eye.

Obviously, what happened here was only known by the three disciples of the Baoxiao team guarding the array eye of the life gate.

A moment later, the three of them appeared above the gradually receding light curtain array.

"Master Wu, what is going on?" Ma Ming frowned and said with dissatisfaction on his face.

"Amitabha, good, good! Master Wu, you are too cunning, aren't you?" Master Shiyan seemed to have guessed something, and at this time, with deep anger on his face, he accused without any hesitation.

Wu Yan spread his hands, showing an extremely innocent expression, and said to Ma Ming: "Master Ma, it's unfair, even I don't know what happened." Then, he looked at Master Shiyan with anger on his face, and said angrily: "Master Shiyan, you must be responsible for what you say. I, Wu Yan, am an upright person, and the whole Liehai City knows it. You say that I am cunning, which is a great slander on my personality. If you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame Wu for turning against you!"
