Chapter 3147: Uninvited Guest

Several streaks of light flew rapidly from the distant horizon.

Before long, the streaks of light halted, revealing five Void Refinement cultivators—four men and one woman. Leading them was a thin, old man in a green robe, who had reached the Grand Completion stage of Void Refinement.

The green-robed old man had a square face, small eyes, small ears, and a long nose, with green spiritual markings on his body. He was a member of the Vine Clan.

Besides the green-robed old man, the other four consisted of one late-stage Void Refinement cultivator and three mid-stage Void Refinement cultivators. They were very powerful, and judging by their appearances and physiques, they hailed from different races.

All five exuded a strong murderous aura, clearly indicating they had been involved in considerable slaughter.

"Zongyun, stay here. We'll go stop them."

Wang Yingjie called out and flew towards the distance.

Wang Zongyun's primary role was to guard True Monarch Hunyuan. It wouldn't be easy for outsiders to interfere with Wang Mengbin, as Bai Yuqi had set up a formation in the outer perimeter. If the enemies wanted to break through, they would first have to deal with Wang Yingjie and the other three.

"I am Mu Xiao. Pleased to meet you, fellow cultivators."

The green-robed old man cupped his fists and said with a smile, appearing approachable.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, please leave this place to avoid any misunderstandings."

Wang Yingjie said politely.

"Misunderstandings? If you have nothing to hide, what is there to misunderstand?"

A pot-bellied old man in a purple robe sneered.

Wang Yingjie's group of four only consisted of three mid-stage Void Refinement cultivators and one early-stage Void Refinement cultivator.

"Let's deal with them quickly. If that person passes the Seven-Nine Lightning Tribulation, it will be troublesome."

A beautiful woman in a golden dress said coldly, her face filled with murderous intent.

They made a living by hunting demonic beasts, occasionally engaging in robbery and murder. Passing by this place, they discovered a Void Refinement cultivator attempting to break through to the Integration stage and came over to investigate.

Seeing Wang Yingjie and his companions' relatively low cultivation levels, they harbored malicious intentions.

No sooner had she spoken than a burly man in a yellow shirt took a deep breath and let out a deafening beast roar, spraying out a hazy yellow sound wave that shot directly towards Wang Yingjie's group of four.

The burly man in yellow had a wide mouth, small nose, and sunken eyes, with yellow spiritual markings on his body. His physique was similar to that of a human.

They were from the Skyhowl Clan, a minor clan from the Qianyuan Continent known for their sound wave techniques, immense strength, and relatively warlike nature.

At the same time, the green-robed old man and the other three each made their moves, either activating their Dharma Idols or unleashing their treasures, all attacking Wang Yingjie's group of four.

According to their plan, they would first deal with these four, then interfere with Wang Mengbin's breakthrough to the Integration stage, directly letting the lightning tribulation strike him dead.

When the yellow sound wave approached within a thousand zhang of Wang Yingjie and his companions, it stopped. Ripples appeared in the void, and a pale yellow light screen materialized, covering an area of three hundred miles.

On the surface of the yellow light screen, nine yellow lotus flowers glowed with spiritual light.

The attacks from the green-robed old man and the other four landed on the yellow light screen, which remained perfectly still.

"A formation! Go all out and break it as quickly as possible!"

The green-robed old man's face darkened, and he commanded.

He changed his incantation, and the humanoid phantom above his head shot out a green light, striking the yellow light screen. The yellow light screen remained unmoved.

The weeds on the ground grew wildly. One after another, sharp, thorn-covered green vines burst from the earth, rapidly growing and transforming into long green whips that violently lashed at the yellow light screen.

The burly man in yellow summoned a giant bell shimmering with yellow light, engraved with a yellow lion motif. With a loud shout, an enigmatic, massive character flashed out, heading directly towards the yellow light screen.

The woman in the golden dress and the other two were not idle either, manipulating their treasures to attack the formation.

Bai Yuqi took out a nine-cornered formation disc shimmering with spiritual light, infused several incantations into it, and the disc glowed brightly.

They only needed to hold out long enough for Wang Mengbin to pass the Seven-Nine Lightning Tribulation, which was why the formation Bai Yuqi set up was primarily defensive.

Wang Yingjie and Liu Hongxue each summoned a giant ape puppet beast and a green falcon puppet respectively. Upon closer inspection, numerous hack marks could be seen on the surfaces of both puppet beasts, and the giant ape puppet beast's left arm was missing.

After arriving on the Qianyuan Continent, they had frequently engaged in battles with foreign cultivators. It was inevitable for their rank six puppet beasts to be damaged, and as they had no way to repair them, they could only make do with them.

"Rank six puppet beasts!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the green-robed old man's eyes, and his gaze turned fervent. This group of people truly possessed a lot of treasures.

He flicked his sleeve, and a scroll shimmering with green light flew out. He infused an incantation into it, and the green scroll unfurled in mid-air, revealing a painting of a dense forest with countless trees.

The green scroll sprayed out a hazy green mist, which enveloped the two rank six puppet beasts.

Just as the giant ape puppet beast was about to dodge, countless thick green vines burst from the ground, entangling its body. It struggled and pulled, breaking all the green vines. However, the hazy green mist had already enveloped the giant ape puppet beast, drawing it into the green scroll.

A hazy golden hand materialized out of thin air, swatting at the green falcon puppet. The green falcon puppet flapped its wings lightly and vanished from its spot.

The next moment, the green falcon puppet appeared above the woman in the golden dress, its sharp claws heading directly for her head.

Countless golden runes emerged on the golden-dressed woman's body, and a thick golden light screen materialized, blocking the green falcon puppet.

With her right hand, she smacked the void above her head. A golden light flashed, and a hazy golden hand shot out, swatting the green falcon puppet away.

The void rippled, and a hazy red hand materialized, striking the golden light screen. With a muffled thud, surging flames engulfed the golden light screen.

A dazzling golden light flared, and the flames flickered violently before disappearing. The woman in the golden dress looked towards Wang Yingjie's group of four, as Wang Yingjie's eyes glowed with dazzling golden light, revealing a golden vortex within them.

Qianyang Illusionary Eyes!

The woman in the golden dress felt the world spin. The environment before her changed, and she suddenly found herself in a world of ice and snow.

"Illusion!"

The golden-dressed woman was greatly alarmed.

A red light flashed, and a giant brick wreathed in flames materialized, smashing towards the golden-dressed woman.

The green-robed old man and the other three tried to help, but a deafening dragon roar sounded, and a monstrous beast with a dragon's head and an ant's body lunged forward. It was Wang Long.

The green falcon puppet flapped its wings lightly, vanished from its spot, and reappeared above the burly man in yellow. Two thick golden lightning bolts shot directly towards the golden-dressed woman and her two companions.

"Dragon-Devouring Ant!"

The green-robed old man frowned, flicked his right hand, and a green light shot out, heading directly for the Dragon-Devouring Ant.

The green light flashed, and a giant green net appeared above the Dragon-Devouring Ant. At the same time, the Dragon-Devouring Ant's body glowed intensely with blood-red light, transforming into a bloody mist and vanishing.

The next moment, it reappeared above the green-robed old man's head, its sharp claws striking at him.

Countless green vines grew from the ground around the green-robed old man, weaving themselves into a hazy green hand that blocked the Dragon-Devouring Ant.

A miserable scream of a woman rang out, the ground shook, and the red giant brick smashed the golden-dressed woman into a pulp, leaving her undeniably dead.

The green-robed old man's face darkened, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Gu, let's not hold back anymore. Break the formation as quickly as possible."
