What to do?
What to do?
What to do?
Hao Ren pondered, and finally decided to deal with the "Rainbow Seven Sword Immortals" in his most skilled way—bluffing!
That's right, as a professional "Level 8 Bluffing Expert," Hao Ren could only unleash his talent to stop the "Rainbow Seven Sword Immortals" by bluffing.
Hao Ren decided he would learn from the ancients and pull off the biggest bluff in history!
The Empty Fort Stratagem!
Zhuge Kongming's "Empty Fort Stratagem"!
This was a "masterpiece" in the world of bluffing!
Hao Ren studied it carefully, made a detailed plan, and after ensuring it was foolproof, he smiled...
...
In a certain mountain forest of the "Eastern Wasteland Mountains."
The "Rainbow Seven Sword Immortals" and "Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing, leading a group of "demonic cultivators," were marching mightily towards the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
These people were full of killing intent, fierce and menacing, as if "evil" was carved onto their foreheads.
Birds and beasts in the surroundings scattered in terror.
What a scene of chaos!
As the group of "demonic cultivators" were swaggering along, the "Red Sword Immortal" at the front suddenly frowned.
He raised his hand, making a "stop" gesture.
All the "demonic cultivators" halted.
The entire procession stopped moving forward.
"Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing flew forward and asked.
"Senior Uncle Master, what's happened?"
The "Red Sword Immortal" pointed forward, towards the path they were about to take.
"Over there, I sense the aura of a large number of righteous cultivators. There might be an ambush!"
The "Red Sword Immortal," as the leader of the "Rainbow Seven Sword Immortals," possessed profound cultivation and immense strength.
He detected the "ambush" immediately.
At such a distance, "Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing tried to sense it but found nothing.
At this moment, the "Orange Sword Immortal" and "Yellow Sword Immortal" also spoke with solemn voices.
"Indeed, there is a strong aura of righteous cultivators ahead!"
"The number of ambushers seems quite large!"
Upon hearing this, "Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing's brow furrowed, and he said angrily.
"Hmph! Those despicable scoundrels of the righteous path only know how to engage in sneak attacks and ambushes! Esteemed Senior Uncles, worry not. I will dispatch troops to encircle and annihilate them, eliminating all those ambushing righteous scoundrels..."
Regarding "Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing's proposal.
The "Red Sword Immortal," "Orange Sword Immortal," and "Yellow Sword Immortal" all shook their heads in unison.
"No need for such trouble! Let them ambush if they wish. With us here, any ambush is useless! Let's go, continue on our way!"
These words were brimming with arrogance, bordering on utter insolence.
However, this also represented the absolute confidence of the "Rainbow Seven Sword Immortals"!
No matter what "schemes and tricks" the righteous path might have, they could crush them with absolute power!
Unmatched dominance!
"Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing was full of admiration and nodded repeatedly.
"Esteemed Senior Uncles are truly awe-inspiring, a model for us to emulate!"
With this "flattery," the "Red Sword Immortal" and the others felt incredibly pleased.
Thus, the "Great Army of Demonic Cultivators" resumed their journey.
Soon, they arrived at the "ambush point of the righteous cultivators."
The "Red Sword Immortal" and the others' bodies shimmered with a faint spiritual light, and the "natal flying sword" in their dantian was ready to be unleashed.
Despite their boastful words, they were quite cautious when the actual situation arose!
The "Red Sword Immortal" and the others were vigilant, ready to strike at any moment.
However, what happened next nearly made them "lose control of their true essence" and "lose their dao heart."
A group of righteous cultivators "rushed" out.
There were quite a few of them, over three hundred.
Each person was at the "peak Golden Core stage."
Their strength was considerable!
But, they showed no killing intent or fighting spirit.
On the contrary, each "Golden Core righteous cultivator" wore a warm, enthusiastic smile on their face.
"Welcome, fellow daoist evil cultivators!"
Over three hundred "Golden Core righteous cultivators" bowed in unison, a spectacular sight.
Uh...
Dragon King Zhen Zhibing

Rainbow Seven Sword Immortals
(O_O)
The group of demonic cultivators
(O_O)
Stunned!
What's going on?
What the hell?
Are our eyes playing tricks on us?
We're seeing "Golden Core righteous cultivators" bowing to us and cordially addressing us as "fellow daoists"!
It's too surreal!
Unbelievable!
Shouldn't the proper way for righteous cultivators and evil cultivators to meet be like this:
Righteous Cultivators: Evil cultivators, your sins are unforgivable. Today, I shall act on behalf of heaven!
Evil Cultivators: Righteous scoundrels, you are despicable, shameless, and vile. You all deserve to die!
And then, a fierce battle would ensue, to the death.
...
This was the familiar way "righteous and evil cultivators greeted each other."
Being so friendly and intimate like this... was utterly unacceptable!
A conspiracy!
There must be a conspiracy!
"Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing's face darkened, his gaze sharp.
He believed this was all a conspiracy by the "scoundrels of the righteous path"!
Just as "Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing was about to erupt and shatter the conspiracy, an unexpected event occurred.
Melodious wine fragrance, joyful songs...
Friends, please have a drink, please have a drink...
...
Accompanied by beautiful music, the group of "Golden Core righteous cultivators" held hands and began singing cheerful songs.
The songs were full of passion, evoking a feeling of "welcome home."

The group of demonic cultivators
(O_O)
Holy crap!
What the hell is this now?
Why are they singing?
Are righteous cultivators so competitive now that they have to learn singing to be righteous?
What does this song even mean?
It seems to be encouraging friends to drink fine wine.
Uh... they're not going to make us drink, are they!
Before the thoughts of the demonic cultivators could fully form, they witnessed a scene that left them "dumbfounded."
Jars of fine wine, with large red "酒" (wine) characters on them, were cheerfully carried out by the "Golden Core righteous cultivators."
These "Golden Core righteous cultivators," while singing passionate songs, poured the fine wine and offered it to the demonic cultivators.
Come, come, come, come...
Come, come, come, come...
The wine is fragrant, strong, and beautiful...
Even after a thousand cups, you won't get drunk...
...
As the song reached its "most passionate" crescendo.
The "Golden Core righteous cultivators" drained their own cups of fine wine and urged the "demonic cultivators" to drink heartily.

What kind of "divine operation" is this?
Are they trying to poison us to death?
Possible, very possible!
"Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing's face darkened, and he said in a low voice.
"Everyone be careful, this wine is poisoned. Do not be deceived, do not drink..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
Someone had already downed the wine in their cup.
"Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing looked at that person, his mouth twitched, wanting to curse but daring not to.
The identity of the person was...
