[System notification sound] Congratulations Host, your "Great Wisdom Reduction Technique," no, your "Auspicious Twin Pupils Divine Ability" has been successfully cast. The target "Zhen Zhibing" has declined in fortune and reduced intelligence. He was bewildered by your "Empty Fort Strategy" and dared not invade the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
[System notification sound] Congratulations Host, your "Great Wisdom Reduction Technique" has been successfully cast. The target "Crimson Sword Immortal" has declined in fortune and reduced intelligence…
…
Similar system notification sounds kept ringing in Hao Ren's mind.
A smile appeared on Hao Ren's lips.
Good!
Very good!
"Great Wisdom Reduction Technique" is the best!
Combined with Hao Ren's masterful "pretentious skills," it was simply invincible.
"Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing, "Crimson Sword Immortal," and others were instantly conquered.
At this moment, they had already determined that Hao Ren was a powerful and terrifying "super reclusive expert."
Facing such a "super reclusive expert," even if they had eighteen more courage, they wouldn't dare to enter the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
So, the problem arises.
What should they do now?
"Crimson Sword Immortal" and the others found themselves in a dilemma.
If they attack, sorry, they dare not, really dare not!
"Senior Dragon Knight" is powerful and mysterious. Who dares to attack him? Isn't that asking for death?
If they retreat directly, alas… it would sound terrible!
The "Demonic Path Evil Cultivator Army" was advancing majestically.
They paraded through the streets along the way.
As a result, after loitering at the entrance of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest," they didn't even dare to enter, and shamefully fled with their tails between their legs.
If this were to spread, they would be laughed to death.
This wouldn't do, and that wouldn't do either. What to do?
"Crimson Sword Immortal" convened a meeting to discuss the matter. Everyone remained silent.
What good solutions could they have? This was an unsolvable predicament!
And so, over a thousand "Demonic Path Evil Cultivators" surrounded the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
They neither shouted to attack nor kill. They just sat quietly on the periphery, staring at each other, doing nothing.
Soon, three days passed.
The "Demonic Path Evil Cultivators" sat outside the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" for three days.
At regular intervals, Niu Huan would bring people out and enthusiastically sing "My Door is Always Open."
After singing, he would enthusiastically invite the "Demonic Path Evil Cultivators" to enter the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
The "Demonic Path Evil Cultivators" were unmoved, even somewhat contemptuous!
Hmph!
Stop pretending, we have seen through everything!
The "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" is protected by the "Nine Heavens Ten Absolute Grand Formation." Once entered, death is certain.
You want to trick us into entering and dying? Impossible!
The highly intelligent "Demonic Path Evil Cultivator Great Sages" were too clever, and no one "fell for it."
By the evening of the third day.
"Crimson Sword Immortal" and the others finally came up with a plan.
Although it was called a discussion, "Crimson Sword Immortal" and the others did not participate at all. It was all Zhen Zhibing's idea.
"Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing came up with a "terrible idea."
Since we don't dare to attack the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" now, nor can we retreat shamefully, why not turn our guns elsewhere and attack another place!
Where to attack?
Heh heh, in the entire "Eastern Desolation Mountain Range," besides the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest," there is another most special place – the "Yun Family Immortal Abode"!
The "Yun Family Immortal Abode" itself is an "ancient immortal abode relic."
In ancient times, this was the immortal abode of the "Eastern Sword Sect."
The entire "immortal abode" is well-preserved, with a large number of opportunities and treasures waiting to be developed.
The Yun family's strength is insufficient. Their development of the "Yun Family Immortal Abode" is less than one-tenth, which is too wasteful.
Zhen Zhibing proposed attacking the "Yun Family Immortal Abode" for various reasons.
First, of course, is profit!
Attacking the "Yun Family Immortal Abode" brings many benefits.
Successfully conquering the "Yun Family Immortal Abode," let alone the "heritage" left by the "Eastern Sword Sect," even the "supreme grade fire element mineral vein" recently discovered in the "Yun Family Immortal Abode" is an enormous fortune.
"Crimson Sword Immortal" and the others were greatly tempted by this.
Cultivation and Dao practice are very expensive. If they could make a fortune, that would be great.
Second, the "Yun Family Immortal Abode" is very weak.
The Yun family itself is just a small, insignificant family in the "Eastern Desolation Mountain Range."
Before their rise, their patriarch, Yun Zhenting, was merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The entire family had only a handful of people, not worth mentioning.
Now, although the Yun family has occupied the "Yun Family Immortal Abode" and their strength has improved significantly, they are still no match for the "Demonic Path Evil Cultivator Army."
Moreover, Yun Zhenting and the other main forces of the Yun family have gone to participate in the "Dongxuan Secret Realm," leaving behind insufficient personnel, making it easy to attack.
Third, a test!
A test of whom?
Of course, "Senior Dragon Knight."
The entire "Eastern Desolation Mountain Range" knows that the "Yun Family" is protected by "Senior Dragon Knight."
If the "Demonic Path Evil Cultivator Army" attacks the "Yun Family Immortal Abode," "Senior Dragon Knight" cannot stand idly by. As long as he makes a move, it will be easy to test his true strength.
It must be said that Zhen Zhibing's move was insidious and vicious.
Despite being in a losing situation, he was able to jump out of the "chessboard" and create a new destiny!
[System notification sound] Your enemy "Zhen Zhibing" is plotting a conspiracy: to besiege the "Yun Family Immortal Abode"…
Hao Ren
(╬￣皿￣)
Zhen Zhibing, you scoundrel, you are too damn insidious.
You could even come up with such a wicked trick, it's too much!
Arrangement, after the "Seventy-two Chaotic True Demons" are resurrected, I must arrange a "curse" for him.
No, one "curse" is not enough, at least three waves!
As things stand, Hao Ren's frantic complaints in his heart are of no use. Outside the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest," the "Demonic Path Evil Cultivator Army" has already started to act, preparing to march towards the "Yun Family Immortal Abode"?
What to do?
Should I stop them?
Uh…
Don't be ridiculous!
Stop what nonsense!
Hao Ren shook his head. If he had the ability, why would he go to such lengths to devise the "Empty Fort Strategy"?
He is just a "Golden Core cultivator." How can he stop such an "Demonic Path Evil Cultivator Army"!
It's beyond his capabilities!
It's far beyond Hao Ren's scope of abilities!
So, ignore the "Yun Family Immortal Abode"? Let them fend for themselves!
Of course not.
First of all, Hao Ren couldn't live with himself psychologically.
Everyone in the "Yun Family Immortal Abode" respects and worships Hao Ren one hundred percent.
How could Hao Ren bear to abandon such a group of "fanatical believers"?
Moreover, the monkey, Yun Zhaozhao, Yun Zhaotian, and Yun Tianteng, whom Hao Ren particularly valued, are all in the "Yun Family Immortal Abode" right now.
They must be saved.
Besides, Hao Ren has a reason he must save them.
Once he doesn't rescue the "Yun Family Immortal Abode," all his previous "pretenses" will be exposed, and the "super reclusive elder" image he painstakingly built will collapse instantly.
At that time, Zhen Zhibing and the others will see through his true nature, and he will be the first one they won't let go!
