Seeing Huang Xie watching them from the forest like this, the young master’s anger surpassed his fear.
Instead of cowering like he had done before, he suddenly pulled out another whip and started charging in that direction.
At first, the middle aged man didn’t notice the actions of his son since he was too busy dealing with the hunchbacked old man, but it was hard to ignore him in the end.
That was because the young master started swinging his whip at the bushes where he had seen Huang Xie. With the sudden attack from him, he immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
“Take this!” The young master shouted as he swung his whip, but it was clear that there was no one where he was swinging at.
All he was doing was tearing the bushes apart.
The middle aged man deeply knitted his brows when he saw this.
It was clear by the fact that he appeared in this place all to save his son just how much he cared about his son. As such, he was naturally concerned when he saw his son acting this way.
He thought…
“Did he go crazy from the stress?”
If he really did go crazy from the stress of the situation, that would be bad for them since they were in a situation that would be hard to get out of if they were sane. But if he was crazy like this, it would just be even harder for him to get them out of this.
It could be seen how much he still cared about his son since he didn’t think about abandoning him for even a second when he saw his son like this.
The hunchbacked old man and the other demonic cultivators looked at the young master with strange looks.
But in the end, the hunchbacked old man suddenly said, “Take care of that fool first.”
The demonic cultivators immediately followed his orders and directed the array that they were controlling in the direction of the young master.
The young master was unaware of this as he was still focused on swinging his whip at where he thought Huang Xie was. But the moment that middle aged man saw this, he gritted his teeth and suddenly burst forth with spiritual energy.
He had been pinned down by the hunchbacked middle aged man’s attacks, but this burst of energy allowed him to free himself.
As soon as he freed himself, he went over to his son.
It seemed that he wasn’t planning on abandoning him now that he was free.
The hunchbacked old man revealed a faint smile when he saw this.
He hadn’t thought much about this before since he assumed that the middle aged man would abandon the young master when the time came. However, if he was still willing to protect him like this when he lost his mind…then it seemed that this was something that could be used to his advantage.
When the middle aged man came to the young master’s side, he immediately picked him up and started to run.
There was no hesitation in his actions as he knew that even a second of hesitation would mean the end of the two of them. He couldn’t allow himself to be hesitated for a moment if he wanted to escape this place.
“What are you doing?” The middle aged man scolded the young master.
The young master came back from his fit of rage when he heard his father’s voice and said, “Father, I found the ones that set us up. If we use them as bait, then we’ll be able to escape this place.”
The middle aged man was surprised to hear this since he didn’t expect a logical answer from his mess of a son. He knew what kind of personality his son had, this was something that he wasn’t delusional about.
He knew that his son wouldn’t be able to think of something like this unless he was truly desperate.
In that case, he should at least see if his son was correct.
So the middle aged man looked in the direction that the young master had attacked in, but he didn’t see anything which caused him to scold the young master, “This isn’t the time to be playing around.”
The young master shook his head before saying, “No, I know that I saw him earlier, it’s just that he ran away when I attacked him…”
The middle aged man narrowed his eyes to look at his son, but he didn’t have time to keep feeling disappointed by him.
That was because the demonic cultivators weren’t going to give him the time to do that.
At the same time, the hunchbacked old man suddenly had an idea.
“Take the young one down first.” His grating voice suddenly rang out.
The demonic cultivators were surprised to hear him say this, but they didn’t say anything else as they followed his orders and directed the array to focus on the young master.
It seemed that they completely followed the words of the hunchbacked old man.
That went to show that it wasn’t his cultivation that was high, it was also his prestige among the demonic cultivators that was high.
The middle aged man wanted to run, but the young master suddenly said while pointing in a direction, “He’s over there!”
As soon as he heard this, the middle aged man looked in the direction that the young master pointed in.
It was just too bad that there was nothing there.
That was the opening that the demonic cultivators needed to attack.
The middle aged man was completely trapped because of this.
From time to time, the young master kept shouting out, “He’s there, he’s there!”
It was just that whenever the middle aged man looked in the direction that he pointed in, he didn’t see a single thing.
Being distracted again and again like this created openings for the demonic cultivators.
Eventually, even the middle aged man wanted to strangle his son for distracting him like this.
“Are you even still on my side?!”
That was what the middle aged man wanted to say, but he held himself back because of his love for his son or he might have really tanned his son’s hide.
After being distracted by him for so long, there was nothing that he could do as he was eventually trapped by the demonic cultivators. It seemed that he had no choice but to wait for his death.
…
All around the Dragon Beard Valley, the same scene was happening.
The cultivators of the righteous sects that came to suppress the demonic cultivators were surprised to find the powerful demonic cultivators that were here. They didn’t expect to find so many demonic cultivators and for them to be this strong.
They tried fighting back, but there were just too many demonic cultivators who were all too strong for them to face.
So eventually, they were all trapped just like the middle aged man had been.
“What is going on? Why are there so many of these demonic cultivators?”
“No, you can’t do this! My sect won’t forgive you if you do anything to me!”
“Go get the Mu Empire, they’re the ones that wanted to attack you! I’ll give you all the information that I know if you spare me!”
When they were pushed to the brink, they showed that they didn’t have any loyalty to the Mu Empire at all. When they were close to death, their wills immediately crumbled and they wanted to betray the Mu Empire just to survive.
That was the kind of people that these cultivators from the sect were.
They only cared about their lives.
It was just that they didn’t know that there were people watching over them the entire time.
The young master hadn’t gone crazy, Huang Xie had been with the group of Love Sect disciples watching the whole thing happen. He didn’t help them at all and just waited for the young master and his father to be trapped by the demonic cultivators.
In fact, they had been waiting for this exact thing to happen.
After all, the plan was to use the young master and the one behind him as bait and they certainly worked well as bait.
They had even drawn out one of the Golden Core Realm demonic cultivators.
Now all that was left was for them to take care of the demonic cultivators.
Of course, Huang Xie wasn’t brave enough to fight a Golden Core Realm demonic cultivator all on his own.
That was why there was someone else who was here with them.
“Elder, it’s up to you.”
The one that he was talking to was one of the elders from the Hidden Dragon Sect.
He had been following them without anyone noticing them.
It was only when Huang Xie and the other Love Sect disciples had baited the young master and his father that he finally showed himself.
The elder gave a nod before disappearing.
Huang Xie narrowed his eyes to look at the array of the demonic cultivators and waited for his chance to strike.
While all this was happening, the person that had planned all of this was nowhere to be found.
That was because he had gone into the depths of the Dragon Beard Valley.
He was the only one that could do this since he had an illusion spell that allowed him to hide himself from everyone else.
Lin Fan headed right to the place that he had gone the day he had come to scout out the Dragon Beard Valley.
