Fairy Eye

"Stop running!" When the Old Ancestor Jinghong saw the Old Ancestor of the Grass Man turn and fly away, his face darkened, and he chased after him with the Second and Third Protectors.

Of the three guardian ancestors, the Amazing Swan Ancestor and the Second Guardian both have peak Nascent Soul cultivation, while the Third Guardian's realm is lower, only at the late Nascent Soul stage.

After a brief chase, the third protector lost track of the straw man ancestor first, followed by the second protector who also lost sight of him.

Only the Swift Ancestor was incredibly fast, not only hanging steadily behind the Scarecrow Ancestor, but the distance between the two was also rapidly closing.

The Old Ancestor of the Straw Man was extremely shocked and dared not turn around. During the flight, she suddenly took out a black straw man from her bosom, bit her finger and smeared the blood on the straw man. Then, without looking back, she threw it at the Old Ancestor of the Startling Swan behind her.

The straw figure flashed with a bloody light, its body suddenly enlarged, becoming indistinguishable from a real person! Immediately afterward, black energy surged all over its body, transforming into countless fine needles that shot towards Ancestor Jinghong like a tidal wave.

With a wave of his sleeve, the old ancestor Jinghong sent countless silver needles flying back and piercing the straw man. At the same time, he raised his right arm and a beam of silver light flew out from his sleeve, striking the straw man between the eyebrows with a snap.

They punched a transparent hole in the scarecrow's forehead.

The straw man ancestor who was flying ahead suddenly let out a scream, his body swayed, and he almost fell from the sky.

Ancestor Jinghong sneered, suddenly accelerated, and arrived ten miles behind Ancestor Caoren. He quickly drew a circle with his hands in front of his chest, bringing out a golden stream of light. Then he pointed at Ancestor Caoren from a distance, and the golden stream of light shot towards Ancestor Caoren's back with a whoosh!

The light was too fast. The old man only heard a sharp whooshing sound behind him. Coupled with the excruciating pain in his head, he didn't have time to react. He could only forcefully dodge to the side, letting the light fly past his arm.

Stab it!

The light streaked across her sleeve, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on her arm.

The Grass Man Ancestor didn't feel much pain, but she didn't dare to turn around and fight the Amazing Swan Ancestor. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the other party cast another spell, she took out a black talisman, stuck it on her body, and turned into a wisp of black energy that rushed into Broken Soul Mountain.

Just as the Old Ancestor Jinghong was about to give chase, a large cloud of mist suddenly rose from Broken Soul Mountain. After twisting for a while, the mist transformed into a farmer who was a hundred feet tall, dressed in coarse linen clothes, carrying a hoe on his shoulder. His skin was sallow, and even the beads of sweat on his brow were clearly visible.

"Summoning Technique of the Divine Witch Clan!"

Upon seeing this, Ancestor Jinghong's expression changed slightly. He suddenly stopped, turned around, and just then, the Second Protector arrived from behind.

"Brother Jinghong."

The two guardians flew over and stood side by side with Ancestor Jinghong, gazing in astonishment at the giant phenomenon in the opposite Broken Soul Mountain.

"This... seems to be a summoning spell from the shaman tribe?"

"That's right. The people of the Shamanic Cult have arrived here. The situation is unclear, so it's not advisable to rush in. Let's go back first."

Ancestor Jinghong nodded, then turned and flew towards Mugui City without hesitation.

The second protector glanced at the hundred-foot giant, and without hesitation, followed Ancestor Jinghong back to Mugui City.

Inside Broken Soul Mountain.

The old man with the straw man face turned pale and gasped for breath. He then turned and walked to a giant with fangs, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Alliance Leader!"

"No need to thank me. You should thank Fellow Daoist Zui and Fellow Daoist Mingyue. If they hadn't found me and told me that you were in danger on this trip, I wouldn't have come here!" Gou Shi said with a gloomy face, his tone clearly displeased.

After a slight pause upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor of the Grass Man quickly thanked the Old Ancestor of the Dark Moon and the Drunken Old Man.

The drunken old man didn't say anything, but just frowned slightly and looked out of the mountains, seemingly lost in thought.

Ancestor Mingyue smiled slightly, "It's alright. This isn't the place to talk. Let's go back first."

"it is good."

Gou turned and walked into the depths of the woods.

At the same time, four elders of the Demonic Path Alliance converged on the group from several other directions. After exchanging brief greetings, they followed behind Gou Shi with their heads down.

They returned to the army's camp.

After suppressing his anger all the way, Gou Zi led the group to the giant stone hall where he was resting, and finally couldn't hold back any longer and lost his temper.

"Elder, is your disciple alright? Didn't he say that there's only one Nascent Soul Grandmaster in Twilight City? You owe me an explanation!"

Upon hearing this, Elders Six, Seven, Eight, and Nine all looked towards the Grass Man Ancestor, their anger evident on their faces.

Fortunately, they didn't rush in directly, otherwise, given their combined cultivation levels, they would have been doomed in Mugui City tonight.

"Lord Alliance Leader, please understand! I swear, I did not conspire with my disciple Mo Xiao to harm the four elders. Otherwise, I would not have left the four elders outside the city and ventured into the core alone!" Old Ancestor of the Grass Man hurriedly explained.

The fanged giant said coldly, "I didn't say you colluded with your disciple. What I mean is that your disciple himself might have some issues that need to be thoroughly investigated."

"this……"

The Old Ancestor of the Grass Man was at a loss for words, because it was indeed her disciple who had provided incorrect information, which led them into danger and nearly caused their annihilation.

"Ninth Elder, bring Mo Xiao here. If he resists, kill him on the spot," the fanged giant ordered the Ninth Elder.

"Yes."

The Ninth Elder clasped his hands in a fist salute and walked out of the hall.

A moment later, Mo Xiao was brought over. At first, he thought there would be some reward, but when Gou Yi explained the situation, he realized the seriousness of the matter. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, explaining and begging for mercy.

"Lord Alliance Leader, spare my life! I swear to God, the information I received from that informant was exactly as I said before, without a single lie!"

"He explicitly told me that only Patriarch Huayang arrived in Twilight City with them!"

"Hmph! One person? Could it be that those old guys who appeared later weren't human, but ghosts?" the Sixth Elder roared angrily.

"Uh, I don't know either..."

Mo Xiao wore a mournful, innocent expression. "Perhaps, perhaps even my informant doesn't know that there are other Nascent Soul cultivators hiding in Twilight City..."

Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor of the Underworld Moon's expression shifted, and he said, "Alliance Leader Gou Su, I think what this little guy said makes sense. Perhaps the person he controlled didn't even know it himself. There are other Nascent Soul experts in Mu Gui City, which led to the misjudgment."

"Yes, Senior Mingyue is right. This disciple truly did not mean any harm. I beg the Alliance Leader to understand and forgive me this time."

"...Alliance Leader, I am willing to vouch for Mo Xiao. If he is a traitor, I am willing to share the blame with him. Please forgive him this time." Seeing this, the Grass Man Ancestor gritted her teeth and stepped forward. She only had two disciples. The other one had been missing for many years and her fate was unknown. Now she only had this one left. She really did not want to ruin all the years of cultivation.

"Hmph, accomplices? If Mo Xiao is truly a traitor, and his army collapses like a house of cards, tens of thousands of disciples will perish with him. Can you two worthless lives afford to pay for that?!"

Gou Shi stared at the straw man ancestor with eyes as sharp as knives, and his words were chilling.

But the Old Ancestor of the Grass Man dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

Because her life was in the other party's hands, they could easily kill her if they wanted to.

"I'm rather curious, what astonishing information have you obtained that would drive you so mad as to dare to cross Broken Soul Mountain on your own initiative?" At this moment, the drunken old man slowly spoke.
