Chapter 226 Inviting mysterious reinforcements
These phantom insects were carefully cultivated by them using secret methods. There is some kind of soul bond between them. They control the phantom insects through mental power, so they can naturally sense the death of the phantom insects.
As more and more wizards noticed the death of the phantom insects, they could no longer hold back. The leading wizard reported to Wu Youqun: "My lord, the situation is not good. The phantom insects that broke into the formation are dying in large numbers. Some wizards said that their phantom insects are almost wiped out."
Wu Youqun was shocked and said, "How could this be? The phantom insects are invulnerable to swords and knives. Could it be that the enemy knows our witchcraft very well and has already prepared methods to deal with the phantom insects?"
The witch said: "Your Excellency, quickly order everyone to recall the Soul Devouring Insects! If the loss continues like this, a large number of insects will die, and our strength will suffer a heavy blow!"
Every witchcraft practitioner devotes almost all of his wealth and energy to raising soul-eating insects. The death of the insects means they will be left penniless.
Wu Youqun suddenly realized what was going on and shouted, "Quickly recall your Soul Devouring Insects!"
Upon hearing this, many witchcraft practitioners breathed a sigh of relief and called back their insect swarms.
However, after they drove them away, the Soul Devouring Insects were already deeply trapped in the magic circle. How could they be easily recalled? Even if the insects tried their best to swim upstream, they could not break free from the magic circle.
They tried their best, but only a few of the soul-eating insects escaped, while most of them were still trapped in the formation.
Previously, some soul-eating insects had managed to escape on their own by wandering around in the formation, but were forcibly driven back into the formation by them and now could no longer be recalled.
The faces of the witches were as pale as paper, and Wu Youqun's hearts were as hard as rocks.
The magic circle was still peaceful as ever. More than a hundred people and tens of thousands of soul-eating insects stepped into it silently. They only felt panic in their hearts and subconsciously wanted to stay away from this mysterious magic circle.
This magic formation is like a terrifying giant mouth that swallows up all living things without leaving any trace.
Wu Youqun left a message: "You guys wait here, I'm going to the clan's territory!" Then he flew quickly to the Wu clan's territory.
He didn't dare to risk stepping into the magic circle. He had no other choice but to go back and report the situation to Wu Youyu and others to see if they had any other countermeasures.
In the Wu Clan's territory, after listening to Wu Youqun's narration, Wu Youyu was shocked and said, "The Soul Devouring Insects were unable to break the formation and were slaughtered. More than a hundred disciples of the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion also disappeared after entering the formation? So, the enemy must have a formation master who is familiar with the means to fight against our Wu Clan!"
Wu Youliang responded: "The first thing to do now is to find out the identity of the enemy and what their purpose is in provoking my Wu clan."
Then he asked Wu Youqun: "Have you tried to communicate with the people in the formation?"
Wu Youqun replied: "How could I attack without thinking? The people in the formation responded to me: 'Now I have 29 captives from your Wu clan in my hands. You'd better consider what price you are willing to pay to redeem your people.'"
Wu Youliang analyzed: "It seems that the enemy really came for the 'Chaos Gourd Vine'."
Wu Youzhang added: "Now that my third brother has fallen into the hands of the enemy, they are well aware of our methods. It will be extremely disadvantageous for us to continue to confront them head-on!"
Wu Youqun vowed: "If I find out which bastard did this, I will make them pay a hundred or a thousand times the price!"
Wu Youliang advised: "Now is not the time to show off your bravery. If the 'Chaos Gourd Vine' cannot exchange for the safety of our third brother, we have no choice but to compromise. Once our third brother is safe, we will try to take him back. No force can take advantage of our witch clan."
Hearing this, Wuyouqun and Wuyouzhang both turned their eyes to Wuyouyu...
In the mysterious universe, Wu Youliang has always been regarded as the light of wisdom of the Wu Clan, and his words are like a beacon in the fog. He snorted coldly: "We must not give up the Chaos Gourd Vine easily. If we compromise at this moment, any race will think that the Wu Clan is cowardly. We cannot set this precedent."
"If we can't protect the gourd vine, then at least we have to make the enemy pay a price. So, fourth brother and fifth brother, you go to Taiyi Sect and Xuantian Sword Sect respectively, promise them the gourds on the 'Chaos Gourd Vine' as a reward, and ask them to help us break the formation and kill the enemy!"
Wu Youyu's proposal illuminated the hearts of the three brothers, and hope shone in their eyes. Although they were willing to accept the Chaos Gourd Vine in exchange for the lives of Wu Yougong and more than 20 clansmen, they were filled with reluctance and depression. At this moment, Wu Youyu's decision was like a spring breeze, making them feel relieved.
Taiyi Sect is proficient in formations, while Xuantian Sword Sect is a sword-cultivating sect that is good at breaking formations and killing enemies. With the support of these two sects, they firmly believe that no one can resist the might of the Wu Clan. In this way, they can not only defeat the enemy, but also maintain the dignity of the Wu Clan. Only a part of the Chaos Gourd Vine is lost, and at the same time, the deep connection with Taiyi Sect and Xuantian Sword Sect is deepened, killing two birds with one stone.
They secretly praised in their hearts that the eldest brother is the eldest brother. They may rely on Wu Youliang's wisdom on weekdays, but they still have to rely on the eldest brother's decision at critical moments.
Wu Youqun set out to the Taiyi Sect's camp on the original star. This Taiyi Sect is not ordinary, and its ancestor Donghuang Taiyi is a famous powerful force in the three realms. He once laid a grand formation called "Zhoutian Xingdou", which was inspired by the chaotic stars in the "Donghuang Bell".
He refined 365 Great Zhoutian Star Flags, corresponding to the 365 main stars in the sky, and 14,800 Small Zhoutian Star Flags corresponding to the 14,800 secondary stars, plus the Sun Flag and the Moon Flag as the core of the formation. It is deep and full of murderous intent, and is the guardian of the ancient heaven. The master's profound attainments in formations made Taiyi Sect the most authoritative sect in the Three Realms.
Of course, the people who came to the Primordial Star this time were only a group of low-level disciples from the Taiyi Sect who were training. They had not yet been able to get a glimpse of the essence of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array". However, in this Primordial Star, all the people were low-level disciples from various sects. Wu Youyu was convinced that in terms of array strength, the disciples of the Taiyi Sect were second to none, so he immediately thought of asking them to come and help.
Upon hearing that Wu Youqun from the Wu Clan was coming to visit, Tian Zimu, the leader of the Taiyi Sect and a cultivator in the Void Realm, went out to greet him personally, and said with a smile from afar, "It is indeed Brother Youqun from the Wu Clan! Please come in!"
Wu Youqun also bowed from a distance and said, "Brother Tian, I am sorry for coming so abruptly!"
Tian Zimu responded: "I am so happy that a group of brothers are willing to come. How can I say that it is impolite?"
He invited Wu Youqun into the wooden hut, and after exchanging pleasantries, he asked, "Brother Youqun, I'm so happy to be your sudden visit. Is there anything you need from me?"
Wu Youqun said in a deep voice: "My Wu tribe has recently encountered a difficult problem, and I am here to ask Brother Tian for help!"
Tian Zimu was surprised and asked, "What has caused you Malays to feel so troubled?"
Wu Youqun explained: "My third brother Wu Yougong and more than 20 witchcraft apprentices accidentally fell into a maze set up by a formation master. After all, the witches are unfamiliar with the art of formations, so..."
Tian Zimu nodded and said, "I see! The formation that could trap Brother You Gong must have a very high level of attainment in formations. His origin must be extraordinary, and he may also be related to my Taiyi Sect. If I break the formation rashly, I am afraid that I will have a deep hatred with this master and there will be endless disputes.
As the saying goes, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. I think some brothers can try to communicate with that person. Resolving the dispute peacefully is the best option.
Moreover, this trial journey to the primitive planet is an opportunity bestowed upon us by the powerful beings such as Emperor Xuanyuan. We should go all out to strive for these blessings and should not waste our energy on meaningless fights. "
Wu Youqun sneered in his heart. Tian Zimu treated him as a brother on a normal day, but now he was making excuses when something really happened.
He didn't have the patience to waste time talking to this person, so he changed the subject and said, "Brother Tian just mentioned that the original planet was a blessing bestowed by Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi. I wonder what kind of blessing Brother Tian himself has obtained?"
Tian Zimu smiled awkwardly: "Brother Youqun is really humorous. The Wuyi clan is full of talented people. I heard that the five of you brothers have been entrusted with important tasks. The rewards must be far greater than our Taiyi clan!"
Wu Youqun said calmly: "Brother Tian is right. We Wu people have indeed made a great harvest this time - 'Chaos Gourd Vine'."
Tian Zimu gasped and asked in surprise, "Did you Wu people really find a 'Chaos Gourd Vine'?"
Wu Youqun affirmed, "Of course, would I lie to Brother Tian? My eldest brother Wu Youyu also mentioned that if Taiyi Sect can help us break the formation and rescue my third brother and the witchcraft apprentice, he will give us the 'gourd' grown on the 'Chaos Gourd Vine' as a thank you gift.
However, after hearing what Brother Tian said, I plan to go back and propose to use the 'gourds' produced on the 'Chaos Gourd Vine' to exchange for my third brother and those apprentices. So, goodbye!"
Tian Zimu suddenly grabbed Wu Youqun's arm and said, "Wait a minute, Brother Youqun! Your elder brother Wu Youyu really said that if I help break the formation and save people, you are willing to give me the 'gourd' produced by the 'Chaos Gourd Vine' as a reward?"
Wu Youqun sneered in his heart and replied proudly: "When have I ever broken my promise? I will keep my promise."
Tian Zimu knew it well, and said with a hearty smile: "Since the Wu brothers are so loyal, why not give it a try? I will definitely help you break the cultivator's formation and rescue Brother Yougong!"
Wu Youqun smiled and asked, "Brother Tian, are you no longer worried about making enemies with other formation sects?"
Tian Zimu responded: "Brother Youqun, why bother to say more? If the Wu clan is in trouble, I will certainly help them. Please wait a moment, I will immediately gather my fellow disciples to meet the formation master."
In any case, accomplishing the mission is victory.
Wu Youqun waited quietly for Tian Zimu to summon more than fifty subordinates, and prepared a series of mysterious materials for breaking and setting up formations, and went to the territory of the Wu clan together.
He had just returned with Tian Zimu and his party in great fanfare. Over there, Wu Youzhang had also invited Wei Shaohong, an ethereal sword practitioner from the Xuantian Sword Sect, and his seven divine sword practitioners.
Wei Shaohong, the ethereal swordsman, is surrounded by a sharp sword aura, making him seem like a sword god that no one should approach.
As soon as he entered the door, he spoke frankly: "Fellow Daoist Wu, I heard that your fifth brother Wu Youzhang mentioned that the Wu clan has obtained the 'Chaos Gourd Vine'. Can you let us feast our eyes on it?"
Wu Youyu was a little dissatisfied. The Taiyi Sect represented by Tian Zimu had not spoken yet, but he was so impatient to see the treasure that he even omitted the most basic courtesy!
However, sword cultivators are so straightforward by nature. If Wu Youyu gets angry about this, it will only make him uncomfortable.
