Chapter 288 Temptation

white rhinoceros demon's soul was repeatedly injured by the Yin Soul Threads. Although the injuries were not serious, they were still troublesome. Its enormous beastly eyes stared fixedly at Qin Sang...Yu Kong let out a cold snort, saying nothing more. A red light suddenly shot from his palm, heading straight for the old man Mu Teng. It was the very same chain that had been used to rescue Yan Wu – an artifact of the highest order.

At this moment, the crowd was still unclear about the situation and no one dared to intervene rashly to help either side. They watched helplessly as Yu Kong made a move against the old man Mu Teng.

The chain transformed into a fiery streak and shot out.

As the chain shot into the air, another anomaly occurred.

Just as the chain swept past Yueya Xian, it suddenly veered off course, its speed surging like a bolt of lightning. It coiled around Yueya Xian like a serpent.

Yue Ya Xian was completely unprepared. When she noticed something was amiss with the chain, she hurriedly urged the red thread to defend herself, but it was too late. Before the thread could even unfurl, it was easily pulled away by the chain, binding her securely.

Meanwhile, as Yu Kong made his move, Old Mu Teng abandoned any hope of luck. With a loud shout, he stomped his foot heavily on the ground. Dozens of thick vines sprouted from the cracks in the stone. They grew frantically, intertwining with each other, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a massive and sturdy wall of vines in front of Old Mu Teng.

While Mu Teng, the elder, retreated towards the mountain cave using his strength, hoping that the vine wall could hold off Yu Kong for a while and allow him to escape through the exit.

Unexpectedly, as the old man Mu Teng just moved, a black slender sword suddenly stabbed towards him. This sword appeared without any warning, silently and with a very treacherous angle, aiming straight for Old Man Mu Teng's chest.

If the old man Mokujin continued to flee and ignore the situation, he would undoubtedly be pierced through the chest by the sword.

The old man Mu Teng's heart was filled with a sense of foreboding. His figure abruptly stopped, and he forcefully twisted into a bizarre angle, only to see that the person holding the fine sword was Yan Wu!

"It's you!"

The old man, Mokujin, bellowed with fury, and suddenly understood.

After entering from Hongqiao, Yanwu had been silent all along, and now he was even at the back of the crowd. Everyone's attention was drawn to the mysterious medicine garden, and no one noticed Yanwu's low-key behavior.

Now Yan Wu suddenly made a move, and everyone suddenly realized that Yan Wu was actually Yu Kong's person all along. He had been hiding behind everyone, his intention was to cut off Mu Teng Lao Ren's retreat!

Apart from Elder Mu Teng, Qin Sang's heart also sank suddenly.

If he had known earlier that Yan Wu was Yu Kong's man, even if he endured being ridiculed by Yan Wu, he would have absolutely never used him to establish his authority!

But now it is too late to regret.

Qin Sang's eyes flickered, his thoughts racing, but he never crushed the heart-shaped jade pendant nor intervened to help the old man Mu Teng.

“The old geezer…”

Yan Wu's lips curled into a cruel smile, "Get out of here!"

'Bang!'

A yellow talisman flew out of Yan Wu's hand, the paper bursting in mid-air and transforming into a thin, threadlike spark. The spark was silent and swift, heading straight for the old man Mu Teng's face.

This bolt of lightning looked unusually weak, but not only the old man Mokugi, but also the faces of the others wore a look of deep apprehension.

This symbol was definitely made with an extremely powerful spell. There's terrifying destructive power hidden within the lightning!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Facing the lightning strike, Old Mokuten had a more intuitive sense. He hastily dodged the hidden blade, but his strength was waning with age. At this time, he was also pressed by Yan Wu. If he wanted to survive, he could only reluctantly retreat.

Besides that, there is no other way.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

Of course, Old Mu Teng didn't want to die at Yan Wu's hands like this. But he dared not retreat either. He gritted his teeth and maintained that strange posture. His upper body suddenly bent over, as if broken in the middle, narrowly dodging the lightning bolt. Then, his figure turned into a blue light and charged towards the exit with all his might.

Unfortunately, the old man Mu Teng was still a step too late. By this time, Yu Kong had already dealt with Yueya Xian, and the chains wrapped around him even faster than they had around the old man Mu Teng.

Meanwhile, Yan Wu on the side was not to be outdone, his slender sword appearing and disappearing like a ghost.

Two-pronged attack, let alone Yu Kong's cultivation realm was a whole level higher. Old Man Mu Teng could barely put up any resistance and was killed by the chains piercing through his back of the head.

Yu Kong swept his arm, retracting the chain. The corpse of Old Man Mu Teng landed with a 'bang' beside Yueya Xian.

“Senior Yu, I didn’t know this old geezer before. Why did you attack me Do you want to kill us all” Yueya Xian cried out in alarm and indignation.

As she spoke, Yueya Fairy also looked at Qin Sang and the others with her eyes, her expression clearly urging them to act quickly and not be defeated one by one by Yu Kong.

“You, my dear wife, are quite the temptress. I never expected old fool Luo Xingsou to let his mistress come out as an undercover agent. Unfortunately, Yu has no interest in you. Today is your death day!”

Yu Kong's gaze swept over the faces of the two prisoners below, his voice so calm it sent a chill down their spines.

The Moonlit Fairy was astonished into silence, after a moment of stalemate, she dejectedly gave up struggling, "So you knew all along"

Yu Kong sneered without a word, turned to Qin Sang, Shangguan Lifeng and Wu Chen, and said, "Three fellow Daoists, there is no need to be afraid. You have also seen the scene outside the cave. Yu has old grievances with those two old fellows, these two are spies they sent by my side. Yu intentionally let them in, just wanting to take this opportunity to settle old scores, and it has nothing to do with the three of you. When taking the treasure, Yu will still keep his promise."

Yan Wu stood behind Yu Kong, sword held upside down. With his imposing height, he looked like a perfect bodyguard.

Shàngguān Lìfēng was holding a long sword, his expression unreadable.

Wu Chen's face of astonishment hadn't dissipated yet. Hearing Yu Kong's words, the unease in his heart finally eased a little.

Qin Sang lowered her head, keenly sensing that Yan Wu's gaze held a playful, condescending amusement, occasionally falling on her.

Having soothed Qin Sang and the other three, Yu Kong leaned down to squat.

Have you already spread the word

Yu Kong's mouth twitched into a strange smile. Ignoring Yue Ya Xian's complex expression of shock and fear, he surged out a wave of spiritual energy with his palm, instantly killing Yue Ya Xian. He sealed the corpse's bloody smell, then drew something on it.

Finally, the spiritual energy formed a strange pattern. After a flash, a hidden figure emerged within the pattern. Yan Wu then took out several talisman papers and stuck them onto their bodies.

Qin Sang silently watched their movements. He could tell from Yu Kong's words that something was amiss.

Yu Kong intentionally let two spies in, allowing them to witness the process of opening the secret passage and even letting them spread the word. His intention was clearly to lure Luo Xinan and Sheng Yuzi into a trap.

Where did he get the confidence to simultaneously deal with two people whose strength was no weaker than his

Qin Sang's remaining gaze swept towards the outside of the cave, Xuanji should be just ahead.

“Come with me.”

After such actions, Yu Kong carefully wiped away the traces of the battle in the cave. In fact, both Mu Teng Lao and Yue Ya Xian were unable to put up any meaningful resistance. Besides a few withered vines, there was no trace left behind.

Then, Yu Kong's spiritual energy transformed into a large hand, grasping the two corpses and walking them out of the cave.

Yan Wu held his sword, eyeing them intently. The three of them looked at each other and hurriedly followed.inan coldly glanced at them, remained silent, and suddenly surged out with Shangguan Lifeng.At this moment, his speed reached its peak. Except for him, everyone else was in the early stage of foundati...
