Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 103 Closing the Net
Yun Yi was indeed not mistaken!
Ci Lan pretended to be panicked, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she had succeeded in her evil plan.

The next moment, the shadow disappeared and appeared behind Tingni in an instant.

Poor Tingni had assumed the shadow, summoned by Prince Xian Su Xin, was a friend, not an enemy, so she didn't take much precautions. Furthermore, Nun Cilan suddenly launched a counterattack using the Six-Character Mantra to contain Tingni.

Therefore, the righteous fairy had no time to react and could only watch as the shadow stabbed a black dagger into her chest.

The crape myrtle soft armor only blocked the attack for a moment, and then was pierced, causing blood to spurt out instantly.

"Ah!" Ting Ni roared, sacrificed blood to thunder magic, and summoned several blood thunders to force back the shadow.

But Master Ci Lan took advantage of the opportunity and shouted "Hum". Ting Ni could only resist with the giant drum in a hurry. Unexpectedly, the drum surface was directly broken by the roar of the mantra, shattered and exploded, and Ting Ni's body flew out.

At this time, the shadow followed like a leech, snatched the tiger talisman from Tingni's hand, and flashed again, appearing side by side with Master Cilan.

Su Xin watched this scene with his eyes bloodshot and shouted, "Shadow, how can you break your promise?!"

The shadow gradually revealed its true form. He was wearing a black cloak that covered most of his body. His left arm was bare, probably just one arm, and he exuded a sinister aura.

He grinned, his white teeth quite conspicuous: "I am not a righteous person, so what's wrong with breaking my promise?"

Song Xinci didn't expect to actually meet someone from the Demon Sect, but she still had no intention of taking action. In her opinion, no matter how the people below the stage fought, it would be best if Ting Ni of the righteous path died.

She was in a good mood today, so she took the initiative to introduce Yun Yi: "There are five shadows in the Tiancan Sect, and their cultivation has reached the Return to Void Realm. The identities of these shadows are a mystery, and each of them has a defect in their body, which is related to the cultivation method they practice."

Yun Yi naturally knew all this a long time ago, but he still pretended to be ignorant and said, "These people seem to be proficient in assassination. If Wuming Town has their help, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to escape."

"The Tiancan Sect and the Jile Sect have always been at odds. They won't join forces."

"Why?"

"The Ji Le Sect's foundation is too shallow, and they just occupied the He Huan Sect's territory. If it weren't for the great war between good and evil a thousand years ago that nearly wiped out the He Huan Sect, it wouldn't have been Ji Le Sect's turn to dominate the area."

This is indeed true. The Bliss Sect is known as one of the five major sects of the Demon Sect. There are very few people in the sect who have reached the Return to Void Realm, and there is only one person, the Bliss Ancestor, who has reached the Hedao Realm. That is why they were destroyed by Song Xinci like cutting melons and vegetables.

The Tiancan Sect possesses a profound foundation. The mere presence of five Return to Void Realm cultivators is enough to terrify one, not to mention the presence of a Hedao Realm cultivator within. Furthermore, under it lies the Dique Sect, which boasts numerous disciples. While not considered one of the five major sects, it should not be underestimated.

Therefore, ever since Su Xin joined the Buried Sword Valley, he has deliberately made friends with several major sects in order to be able to drive the masters among them at critical moments.

Unexpectedly, this time the situation turned out badly. Shadow was indeed a member of the Demon Sect. Although he agreed to help Su Xin fight for the Tiger Tally, he had secretly harbored rebellious intentions.

Su Xin had originally been confident of victory, believing that with two Return to Void Realm cultivators under his command, one bright and one hidden, he would definitely be able to seize the Tiger Talisman. He had never imagined that he would end up being the one to suffer the most. Ting Ni's body fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.

The other shadow transformed into the person opposite.

Su Xin said unwillingly: "What benefits did Prince Duan give you? Why did you choose to help him?!" He immediately guessed that Prince Duan, who had not appeared for a long time, was the person behind the shadow.

No wonder Su Cen has never shown up. It turns out that he had already planted stakes beside him, waiting for the critical moment to strike.

Damn it, Prince Duan Su Cen, you are the most vicious among the princes of Da Xia!
Yingzi casually tossed the tiger talisman to Nun Cilan and said disdainfully, "You can't afford the price Prince Duan offered."

"I promised you three hundred disabled children. Can he give you more?"

"Yes, Prince Duan promised that if I do him this favor, Tiancan Sect will be able to recruit disciples freely in Daxia from now on."

Yun Yi frowned when he heard this. Tiancan Sect only accepts disciples with disabilities. Prince Duan's promise means that in the future, if Tiancan Sect sees a promising candidate, they can make him disabled and then accept him into the sect.

Wouldn't Daxia be in great trouble if this happened?
It seems that Prince Duan Su Cen has an even worse mind and treats the people of Daxia like grass.

Su Xin was stunned after hearing this, then burst into laughter: "He, he actually dared to make such a promise?"

Shadow said, "My young prince, there is a truth you must understand: you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child."

Su Xin: "In that case, just kill me."

Shadow: "No, no, no, I still remember all the kindness the young prince has shown me. So when Prince Duan came to me, I told him that I would only take the tiger talisman and not harm your life."

Su Xin: "You might as well kill me!"

Shadow: "We in the Demon Sect are also very loyal."

He said this, but it was obvious that he did not take Su Xin seriously. He spared his life because he was too lazy to take action and just wanted to see him look miserable with his dignity destroyed.

……

In fact, according to Yun Yi's original plan, he would first use the tiger talisman to induce the two forces to fight, so that both sides would suffer losses.

After Tingni and Yingzi team up to defeat Master Cilan and obtain the tiger talisman, Crescent City can start the next step.

Unexpectedly, the situation has changed now. Yingzi has inexplicably become a team with Master Ci Lan, while Tingni's life or death is unknown.

In this way, both halves of the tiger talisman fell into the hands of Futian Pavilion.

But it doesn't matter, because no one can take the Tiger Talisman away from Crescent City today! Ye Ling has already started to close the barrier, and countless soldiers are surrounding this place, and the sound of killing is deafening.

The soldiers of Crescent City are good at military formations. Once tens of thousands of people form a formation, even those who practice cultivation will suffer.

Of course, this does not mean that ordinary soldiers can defeat the Return to Void Realm by forming a formation. At most, it can only play a delaying role.

Yun Yi's killer move is actually Tie Hong, who is still regarded as a waste until now!
Nun Ci Lan held the two halves of the tiger talisman and told Shadow, "We shouldn't stay here for long. Take Gong Che and leave immediately."

Ye Ling said coldly, "If you wish to leave, Master, please leave the tiger talisman behind and we will respectfully see you off."

Master Ci Lan chanted the Buddha's name softly and ignored the other party. After all, it was not glorious for her to snatch the treasure.

Shadow, however, had no such scruples. He said, "Are you really going to sacrifice the lives of those soldiers? This deal wasn't right in the first place, and if you insist on doing this, it's probably even more wrong."

Ye Ling said: "The Tiger Talisman is the foundation of Crescent City, it must be left behind!"

After that, there was an endless sound of killing outside the formation. Luo Tong led several generals in the God Transformation Realm to be on high alert, ready to take back the tiger talisman even if they had to die!

"In this case, I have no choice but to break my vows." Master Ci Lan pretended to be compassionate and immediately prepared to suppress the soldiers of Crescent City with the Six-Character Mantra.

However, just as she was using her spiritual power, something strange happened!

For some unknown reason, her hands suddenly turned purple, and at the same time, most of the spiritual power in her body was sealed, and she was unable to activate it for a while!

"How could this happen?" Master Ci Lan tried again, but found that she seemed to have become an ordinary person, and all her spiritual power and divine consciousness had disappeared without a trace.

She reacted immediately, took out the tiger talisman and found that half of it was indeed unusual.

It was stained with a bluish-purple color. The poison was odorless and completely undetectable.

Nun Ci Lan angrily said, "How dare Crescent Moon City resort to such a despicable method as poisoning!"

Ye Ling replied, "Compared to the nun, we are nothing but a giant compared to a small one."

The idea of ​​poisoning the tiger talisman naturally came from Yun Yi. Having spent many years in the Demon Sect in his previous life, he wasn't exactly a good person. As for the poison, called "Falling Star Sand," which could conceal the essence of a Return to Void Realm cultivator, it was provided by Tie Hong.

This poison is Tie Hong's trump card that he has kept hidden for many years. Unfortunately, the conditions for its use are harsh, and close contact between the skin and the poison is necessary for someone to be infected.

So Yun Yi smeared poison all over the tiger talisman, betting that whoever got this half tiger talisman would be poisoned.

He also deliberately let Nangong Zhuo touch the tiger talisman to reduce the vigilance of those people.

Nun Ci Lan hurriedly put a few pills into her mouth, but unfortunately they had little effect because the "Falling Star Sand" would not harm her life. Its only use was to temporarily dissolve the spiritual energy in the poisoned person's body and block all absorption of spiritual energy.

Therefore, ordinary detoxification pills are useless, and the spiritual energy replenished into the body cannot be preserved.

Nun Ci Lan's expression turned ferocious: "Ye Ling, you are ready to die!"

Yun Yi couldn't bear to watch this anymore and couldn't help but sigh, "The nun's face looks ferocious right now. She really doesn't look like a monk."

"You! I knew it was you who did this!"

"It's down."

This situation made Shadow feel a little troubled. If he left alone, there would be no problem, but if he took the poisoned Nun Ci Lan with him, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers outside, it would be a bit tricky.

Shadow said, "How about Master, give me the tiger talisman? I'll find a way to get it out first, and then I'll bring people back to rescue you."

Ci Lan cursed, "Shadow, you should know the rules of Futian Pavilion. If I die here, the Pavilion Master will definitely suspect that you are involved!"

This was quite true, so Shadow gave up the idea of ​​escaping alone and said, "Since that's the case, then we can only go on a killing spree."

Master Ci Lan was unable to expel the poison immediately, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. She immediately mobilized all the remaining spiritual power in her body and poured it into the tiger talisman.

Humph, since you in Crescent City have set up a military formation to deal with me, I will summon these three hundred Iron Pagodas!

As the two halves of the tiger talisman were combined into one by Master Ci Lan, the crack disappeared instantly, and the palm-sized tiger talisman turned into a vivid little tiger sculpture.

Ye Ling angrily said: "You dare?!"

Nun Ci Lan looked crazy, thinking to herself, why shouldn't I dare? Today I will make you all kill each other in Crescent City, and make you, Ye Lingtiehong, suffer unbearable pain!
The tiger talisman became brighter and brighter, emitting a dazzling golden light, while at the same time, the sound of killing could be heard faintly from it.

The three hundred iron pagodas are about to be summoned at this critical moment.

Tie Hong, who had been hiding for many days, finally took action. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Master Ci Lan, his bald head shining in the sunlight.

In order to not give Master Ci Lan any chance to counterattack, General Tie used all his strength!
