"It's one thing to just grab them to scare them, but to actually lay a hand on them..."

Questions and criticisms continued to emerge.

Upon seeing this, Boss Wu frowned, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

"madness!"

He shouted sharply, his voice drowning out all the doubts, "What do you think this is?"

"This is a fight to the death, not child's play in the mud!"

"If we let them go today, they might turn on us with knives tomorrow!"

Boss Wu brandished his curved sword, pointing it at the girl. "She was kidnapped from Lingjiu Palace. Think about it, are there any innocent people in Lingjiu Palace?!"

"Have you forgotten the suffering we have endured over the years?"

"Have you forgotten the feeling of being worse than dead when the Life and Death Talisman activates?!"

These words were like a bucket of cold water, waking up some of those who were still lost in hesitation.

Yes, how could I forget the humiliation and pain I've suffered over the years?!

The feeling of wanting to die when the Life and Death Talisman was activated instantly surged into my heart!

"That's right, Boss Wu is right!"

A man with a pointed face and monkey-like features jumped out and shouted, "Everyone in Lingjiu Palace, from the oldest to the youngest, is innocent; they all deserve to die!"

"Yes! Kill her!"

"Kill her!!"

With someone taking the lead, more and more voices echoed in agreement.

Especially those who suffered greatly from the Life and Death Talisman, their eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.

Seeing that the atmosphere had heated up, Boss Wu decided to take another drastic step.

"Of course!"

His voice suddenly rose, drowning out all the shouts of killing, "If any of you brothers really can't bring yourself to do it..."

His gaze swept over those whose faces were still contorted in struggle. "It's not impossible!"

"Leave your life behind!"

Only the dead can truly keep a secret!

"Tonight's Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals must not be leaked in the slightest!"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell into a deathly silence!

Those who were still hesitating turned pale instantly and felt cold all over!

No one dared to voice their doubts. Everyone understood that tonight's pledge of allegiance was a must, or else... death!

The little girl shook her head repeatedly, her eyes filled with tears, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"I'll go first, Boss Wu!"

"Alright, you make the first cut!"

The man with the pointed snout and monkey-like face showed an excited and cruel expression after receiving Wu Laoda's approval.

He licked his chapped lips, picked up a slender water-splitting dagger, and walked toward the girl curled up on the ground.

"Little brat, don't blame me for being ruthless. Blame it on your bad luck to be born in Lingjiu Palace!"

"go to hell!"

Just then, the lookouts on the perimeter immediately noticed someone approaching and shouted sharply, "Who goes there!?"

The sudden, sharp shout was like ice water poured into boiling oil, instantly shattering the stagnant and tense atmosphere.

Everyone turned their heads sharply, looking towards the darkness at the entrance to the valley.

Chapter 96 Sneak Attack

The leaders, including Wu Laoda, Buping Daoren, and Sangtugong, were immediately alarmed.

Their gathering here was top secret, and they chose an extremely remote place. How could someone have sneaked up on them without them noticing?

Could it be that the people from Lingjiu Palace got wind of this and came to wipe them out in advance?

The moment this thought arose, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Many people had already instinctively gripped their weapons, their eyes fixed on the figure approaching from the edge of the firelight.

The atmosphere instantly became tense and filled with murderous intent.

When the firelight illuminated their faces, they saw that the newcomers were a handsome young monk and two stunningly beautiful women.

The tension in everyone eased slightly, but their vigilance remained undiminished.

They don't look like people from Lingjiu Palace, but we can't let our guard down.

Its appearance at such a sensitive time is itself suspicious.

The leader, Boss Wu, stepped forward and looked Chen Mo and his group up and down. This group was quite strange.

He asked in a cold voice, "Who are you gentlemen? What brings you to this desolate place so late at night?"

The hundreds of people behind him subtly surrounded Chen Mo and his companions.

If you give a bad answer, you might be met with a barrage of attacks the next second.

Chen Mo clasped his hands together, seemingly oblivious to the hundreds of menacing gazes around him.

"Amitabha."

He smiled gently and said, "Greetings, esteemed benefactors. We have come here to seek out the master of the Tianshan Lingjiu Palace—the Tianshan Child Granny."

"I never expected to meet you all; it's truly fate."

"Looking for Granny Tong?!"

These words immediately made the atmosphere, which had just eased slightly, tense up again!

Old Wu's eyes suddenly sharpened as he stared intently at Chen Mo. "Who are you to Granny Tong? What do you want with her?"

The surrounding crowd began to stir, whispering amongst themselves.

"Could this little monk be one of Granny Tong's men?"

"I don't know, but it's better to be cautious and take it first!"

"That's right! At this critical juncture, there's no room for error!"

"..."

At this moment, the Unjust Taoist stepped forward, flicked his whisk, and said in a sinister tone, "Brother Wu, why ask so many questions?"

"There is absolutely no way that what happened tonight could be leaked."

"No matter who they are, now that we've run into them, they're not going to leave easily!"

Despite being surrounded by hundreds of hostile people, Chen Mo remained calm and composed.

"Esteemed benefactors, there is no need to be too nervous."

"I have no intention of getting involved in the feud between you and the Child Granny..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sang Tugong's short figure suddenly darted out from the crowd like a groundhog.

With a flick of his arms, dozens of fine, bluish-green poison needles shot towards Chen Mo's upper, middle, and lower body like a torrential rain!

The speed was extremely fast and the distance was very close, clearly indicating that it was a premeditated sneak attack.

Bang bang bang! !

Just as those poison needles were about three feet away from Chen Mo, they seemed to have hit an invisible and tough air shield.

Frozen in mid-air, unable to advance an inch!

what? !

What's happening here? !

Protective internal energy?!

Wu Laoda, Buping Daoren, and the others' pupils shrank, their faces filled with disbelief.

The ability to release protective true energy and to condense it so effectively is simply astonishing!

The little girl, who had been huddled in the corner, secretly glanced at Chen Mo.

A fleeting look of surprise and doubt, along with a hint of contemplation, flashed across those eyes that had been filled with terror.

"Amitabha."

Chen Mo shook his head and chuckled, "This benefactor, interrupting others at will is not a good habit."

Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, Sang Tugong snorted coldly and his short, stout body suddenly sank downwards.

The person completely disappeared into the ground, leaving only a slightly raised mound that quickly 'swimmed' away into the distance.

Chen Mo sighed softly.

He raised his right hand and made a grabbing motion in the air towards the rapidly receding mound of earth!

Dragon-Capturing Skill!

An overwhelming, invisible suction force suddenly erupted!

"what!!!"

Sangtugong let out a short scream, feeling himself being grabbed by a large hand and forcibly pulled out of the ground!

"Stop! Let go of Brother Sang!"

"stop!"

Wu Laoda and his men were both shocked and terrified. They shouted at each other, and the sound of weapons being drawn filled the air.

They surrounded Chen Mo and the others even tighter, trying to exert an invisible pressure on them.
