Chapter 144: Witch Attack

Inside Jiuli Cave.

The figure of a small and graceful woman kept flickering, passed directly through the guard in front of the door, and stepped into Jiuli Hall.

Qiangwei looked at the figure on the high platform and said in a deep voice:

"Reporting to the leader, the passage connecting Dongtian and Lingzhai Tiankeng has been attacked! The enemy is the Witch Gu tribe! The barrier of the passage has been forcibly destroyed, and both the guards and monsters have suffered heavy casualties..."

"Elder Qian Bao has led his disciples to provide support."

Li Yuan slowly turned around, facing this emergency situation, but his voice remained calm:

"What kind of poison did the visitor use?"

Qiangwei replied: "The attackers seem to be...a group of zombies...no other Gu creatures have been seen yet."

"Corpse Gu? They came faster than I thought..." Li Yuan thought thoughtfully and immediately ordered:

"Let Qian Bao and the others come back, and all the survivors in the passage evacuate. Since the Witch Gu Clan wants to come in, let them come in and open their eyes."

Hearing this, Qiangwei's face flashed with surprise for a moment, but she quickly recovered and nodded: "Yes, I'll go right away."

...

inside the tunnel,

The Witch and Gu clan continued to go deeper, passing some sporadic monsters and human corpses on the roadside.

Some inner hall disciples became curious and touched and looked at the tunnel wall.

Elder Longxu kept looking at the wall of the tunnel and couldn't help but sigh:

"I didn't expect that the passage leading to Jiuli Cave Heaven, although it looks like a mine, is actually made of condensed spiritual energy particles."

"But these spiritual energy particles have all solidified, which is equivalent to turning from dust into boulders. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to bear it."

The young patriarch raised his eyebrows and said:

"It can be seen that the spiritual energy in Jiuli Cave is very rich, but the efficiency of breathing out the spiritual energy here will be very low. Because the spiritual energy particles in the tunnel are materialized, the tunnel is very stable and strong. Even for me, no matter where I am, It takes a lot of effort to vomit or destroy the tunnel.”

"In contrast, once the tunnel is really destroyed to the point of collapse, the energy storm generated will form a gap in the Jiuli Cave Sky, and the spiritual energy in the Cave Sky will quickly escape to the outside world along the gap."

"That guy Li Yuan is very arrogant. He can't use the quality of Jiuli Dongtian's spiritual energy as the price for annihilating us and launch a high-level battle in the tunnel. Moreover, even if he is reckless and causes the tunnel to collapse, I can still find a way to lead you elders." Leave in peace."

"So, even if he knows that we are coming, he can only wait for us to enter Jiuli Cave. Of course... there should be an ambush for him at the exit of the tunnel..."

A look of surprise appeared on the faces of the group of elders, "No wonder no one is guarding this tunnel anymore."

In front of them were hundreds of walking corpses, 'corpse puppets' that had been planted with corpse poison.

Behind them were thousands of Inner Hall clan members.

After a stick of incense, the young man and others finally saw the light coming from the end of the tunnel through the groups of corpses.

Under the control of Elder Long You who controlled the corpse puppet, the corpse puppet passed through the end of the tunnel first.

But there was no sign of any attack.

Long Youhui reported: "Clan Chief, through the corpse Gu's field of vision, there is a plain outside, with a radius of one kilometer, and no threatening creatures have been found."

"Haha..." The young man suddenly smiled: "It seems that Li Yuan plans to give us a surprise. We haven't seen him for so many years, but he didn't show up to greet us."

"Follow me." The young man glanced sideways behind him, and then walked alone into the light and shadow at the end.

...

Even when the young man and a group of elders appeared under the sunshine of Jiuli Cave Sky and on the green plain, there was still no hostility towards them.

The plain is vast and surrounded by scattered mountains. Occasionally, you can see the smoke of distant villages and the simple towers reflected in the blue sky.

More than a thousand Wugu clan disciples soon arrived, and the dense crowd looked very abrupt on the empty plain.

"Is this Jiuli Cave Heaven?"

"It looks like the same as in the wild, but I feel like my breathing has become much clearer, and even my Gu insects are getting excited."

"Yes, even breathing here is a beautiful thing..."

"Can we... really take this place as our own?"

"It's so clean, hmm... I can't help but want to urinate right here."

"...Hey! Calm down, do you really think of this place as your home?"

As soon as they entered Jiuli Cave, the originally orderly disciples became slightly agitated, whispering to each other.

"Li Yuan, since you're already here, why don't you come out and see me?"

The young patriarch suddenly stared at an open space and asked with a smile.

"Long Gang, long time no see."

Wherever the young man looked, there was also a deep, magnetic voice.

The next moment, the space seemed to ripple, and an invisible curtain parted from the middle, revealing dozens of figures.

The leader was Li Yuan, the leader of Jiuli Cult. Standing beside him were eight elders, the Holy Son Ye Chuyang and other protectors.

The young patriarch raised his eyebrows: "Your nine-death silkworm clothing concealment method can be hidden from others, but you can't hide it from me, but why did you put on the hat? Could it be that something went wrong in the retreat and you don't dare to see people?"

Li Yuan was still wearing a gray robe with dark patterns and a hanging shoulder cap. The young man could feel that the other person's attention only stayed on him, as if he didn't care about anyone else at all.

Li Yuan's tone was calm:

"You are the one. The last time I saw you, you were a middle-aged man in his thirties, but now you have become a hairless baby."

"Could it be that the holy Gu has the effect of rejuvenating the old and rejuvenating? As far as I know, the Holy Gu is an extremely yin thing. If a man holds it for a long time, he will risk losing his yang forever."

"That's right." Ye Chuyang half-hidden behind Li Yuan and laughed:

"Chief Longgang, is it possible that you came to Jiuli Cave Heaven specifically to ask for new year's money? But it's not the New Year's Eve yet, and besides, Jiuli Cave Heaven doesn't have any herbs to treat that kind of hidden disease~"

"..." The young patriarch's white and tender face trembled slightly, and he glanced at Ye Chuyang coldly:

"Little bastard, you are not qualified to talk to me."

He looked at Li Yuan again, "I come here with sincerity. Don't let some unimportant people ruin the friendly atmosphere between us."

Li Yuan asked calmly: "Sincerity? You, a thousand witch and Gu clansmen and elders, broke into my Jiuli Cave without being invited, hurting my followers and monsters. Is this what you call sincerity?"

The young patriarch just said solemnly: "If you don't use this method, how could you invite us in? Li Yuan, I want to make a deal with you."

Li Yuanwu said unceremoniously in a calm tone: "No matter what deal you want to make, don't leave here easily today."

The young patriarch's lips curved in an intriguing way: "Don't worry, if the deal is reached, I will naturally compensate for your sect's losses."
