Chapter 134: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, the trap is above

The Dingguang Immortal Sect's main nest is in Xiniu Hezhou, but they also have their own underground transportation network. The rabbit thieves often flee to Nanzhanbuzhou to commit crimes, and then flee underground after the crime, making it difficult to track their whereabouts.

Rabbit bandits were rampant, but the several major sects of the Chan religion in the Southern Continent did not form a coalition to clear them out. Part of the reason was because of the face of the Western religion, and the other part was that they were really difficult to suppress. Even if a coalition was formed, it often wasted baggage and fodder, and after searching for a long time, they could only find some holes and a few rabbit hairs.

He intended to send troops to attack the Dingguang Immortal Sect's base, Fanjing Mountain, but the long-eared Dingguang Immortal was extremely cunning. He shamelessly built his base near the Maitreya Buddha's temple, making him a neighbor of the Future Buddha.

In this way, they would be cautious and act cautiously. Encircling Fanjing Mountain would be equivalent to encircling the Maitreya Buddha's temple, which would definitely cause serious dissatisfaction among Western religions and might even lead to a war between the two religions.

However, Master Gu very wisely formulated a plan to lure the rabbits out of their holes. He secretly followed the Chamber of Commerce's convoy, waited for the rabbits to appear, and then surrounded and annihilated them.

In fact, Gu Changfeng was only completing his master's mission. He recruited a large group of free cannon fodder to serve as bodyguards for the Chamber of Commerce's convoy. I wonder how much security costs of hiring individual cultivators could be saved every year.

At the same time, it can also continuously weaken the Dingguang Immortal Sect's manpower, which is really a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.

Li Yu from the Qingcheng Sect was an unlucky fellow who refused to leave the heaven. The trap was not set for him, and he could not escape this time. Together with many young swordsmen with a sense of justice from the human sect, he took the initiative to sign up and participate in the action of killing the bandits and upholding justice.

Cheng Ziwei really couldn't bear to watch her senior brother die, so she had to accompany him. What she was thinking in her mind was that if the situation got bad, she would knock her senior brother out and run away with him on her back.

She was so worried about the Qingcheng Sect!
When the convoy reached the center of the canyon, several masked monks blocked the road in front. At the same time, a group of people rushed out from the back of the canyon to block the retreat. The leader held two golden hammers and shouted, "I built this road and planted this tree. Leave the goods and women behind, and the rest of you can get out. Today, the king is in a good mood and will spare your lives!"

The bandit leader exuded the aura of Nascent Soul Great Perfection, and with a roar, the trees in the mountains and forests on both sides of the canyon were swept by a strong wind and shook continuously.

The Chamber of Commerce's convoy was composed of a group of mortals, from the coachman to the shopkeeper, with only five Jindan cultivators serving as guards. They were surrounded by dozens of Dingguang bandits. The gap in strength was too great, so they simply did not resist and fled, abandoning their carriages.

A strong guard force would be deployed only when transporting precious materials such as spirit stones, spirit gold, gems, etc. How could one spend spirit stones to hire monks as guards when transporting ordinary materials needed by women?

The Chamber of Commerce had already made a plan for this. The worst that could happen was that they would just abandon the supplies and escape. Even if they lost the goods, they would still pay their salaries. The monks were used to guard against wild beasts and monsters on the road, so there was no need to fight with bandits for a few hundred spirit stones.

The Dingguang bandits also took advantage of this and treated this trade route as their own warehouse, taking whatever they wanted.

However, what they had not expected today was that more than a hundred righteous monks who volunteered to suppress the bandits were lying in ambush in the canyon. With Gu Changfeng's command, the monks rushed out together, and their flying swords and spells were directed at the gathered Dingguang bandits, killing them all.

Li Yu leaped down to the bottom of the valley, his flying sword flashed a cold light, and he beheaded the three rabbit bandits with one sword.

Cheng Ziwei couldn't stop calling him, so she could only follow behind them, controlling her sword to fly around the two of them, guarding against any emergencies.

Gu Changfeng, with his long hair loose, rushed forward like a mad tiger, completely disregarding life and death. The flying trajectory of the flying sword he controlled was mysterious and unpredictable. Wherever it went, blood splattered and limbs flew everywhere. He was invincible.

He still only displayed the realm of great perfection of the Nascent Soul, but his killing efficiency was far beyond that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. It seemed that the hatred for his deceased wife had stimulated his endless potential, transforming the endless hatred into a monstrous murderous intent.

Watching Gu Changfeng charging ahead from afar, Cheng Ziwei couldn't help but be impressed and deeply moved by this affectionate man. Such a Taoist partner is probably the perfect match that all female monks dream of. Even if he dies, he will always love you, sacrifice everything for you, and give everything for revenge. What a good man!
It’s a pity...I can’t be considered a man anymore.

Now, Gu Changfeng has become a saint in the eyes of the female cultivators. Of course, he is only a self-proclaimed saint, but his weight in the eyes of the female cultivators is heavier than that of a real saint. After all, a real saint would not publicly cut off the root of his troubles to show his determination in order to commemorate his fellow Taoist.

After Gu Changfeng killed several people, he faced off against the bandit leader Dingguang who was in the Nascent Soul Great Perfection realm. The two seemed to be evenly matched, each using their unique skills to fight against each other, and it was unclear who would win for a while.

In fact, if Gu Changfeng used all his strength, he could wipe out the entire group of rabbit bandits in minutes, but he had received orders from his master to make the major sects of the Chan and Ren sects and the Dingguang Immortal Sect stained with blood and cause and effect, so that the hatred would become deeper and the war would gradually expand.

The conflict continued to escalate, and if it really triggered a world war between the Chan Sect and the Western Sect, that would truly fulfill the master's wish. If this great feat could be accomplished, Gu Changfeng would be able to immediately enter the small jar and reunite with his wife.

The Dingguang Immortal Sect's bandits gradually fell into a disadvantage. The bandit leader saw that the situation was not good and whistled. The remaining bandits hurriedly left the battle group, risking casualties to gather together and formed a formation under the command of the bandit leader.

Great joy of Yin and Yang reversal array!

As soon as the formation was formed, it exerted miraculous effects. Countless five-element spells that fell on it disappeared completely, and the flying swords bounced off as if they hit an iron wall.

Gu Changfeng could naturally use the Moye sword technique to break the formation with one sword, but he just pretended to control the sword and chopped randomly, which gave the formation a lot of spiritual power in vain.

Soon the formation was filled with absorbed spiritual energy, and a golden beam of light shot out from the center of the formation, sweeping across and knocking more than a dozen disciples of the Chan sect into the dust.

Only then did the "Rabbit Suppression Alliance" suffer casualties, and they were heavy in an instant.

Cheng Ziwei was quick and agile, and pushed Brother Li Yu away the moment he was about to be hit. The two of them hugged each other and rolled on the ground several times before they managed to avoid the attack.

"Brother, let's run away!" Cheng Ziwei was so scared that she grabbed her brother's wrist and begged, "It's too dangerous. If I was a step slower, you would be dead!"

"No, this is the first battle of the alliance, we must not flee! You can run away by yourself, after all, you are just a woman. Even if I die here today, I will not retreat even a single step!"

Li Yu's eyes were red. He saw a disciple of Ziyang Immortal Sect, with whom he had a pleasant conversation and whom he regarded as a close friend, had no time to dodge and was hit by the golden light. He vomited blood and fell to the ground, obviously dead.

Cheng Ziwei felt bitter and didn't know what to do. The doubts in her heart grew stronger and stronger, and she always felt that she had fallen into a trap.

But she was in the trap, and she knew there was a cliff ahead, and she couldn't just watch her senior brother die. As a result, she was also trapped, and she was afraid that she would be in great danger.

On the highest peak on one side of the canyon, two shadowy figures covered in optical camouflage and aura reflective coating were silently observing the battle in the canyon. One of them whispered in surprise, "Hey, what a coincidence! I see an acquaintance!"
