Chapter 182: Shocking Gongsun Zhi

"The Wu family is a hidden line placed by Yunshui Sect against the Xiao Kingdom. If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed."

Cao Rui thought to himself: "The Yunshui Sect will definitely not completely fall out with the Spiritual Beast Sect just because of the small Wu family."

However, the Yunshui Sect monks who came to detect it were not necessarily sure personally.

He knew that this operation might arouse the vigilance of Yunshui Sect.

After all, after the secret line of the Wu family was removed, the Yunshui Sect would definitely notice the abnormality and react accordingly.

Therefore, he decided to wait here for a few more days to make sure nothing went wrong.

As the default buffer place for the three major sects, Xiao State has a very special status.

Cao Rui's arrangement of signal towers here is actually a side kick.

However, the Spiritual Beast Sect did not substantively occupy the spiritual veins and mines and establish a city in the Xiao Kingdom. It only set up a signal node. It was difficult for Yunshui Sect and Miaoyin Temple to find suitable reasons to object.

However, during the stage of Xiao Guo's deployment of signal towers, Cao Rui needs to remain vigilant and be ready to deal with possible situations at any time.

The response of Yunshui Sect and Miaoyin Temple is the top priority.

Cao Rui needs to pay close attention to the movements of Yunshui Sect and Miaoyin Temple in order to adjust his strategy in time.

Fortunately, Lu Jiuxiao also fully supported Cao Rui, which also gave Cao Rui the confidence to deploy the signal tower.

On the other side, Chen Rui led the disciples of the Weapon Refining Academy and quickly found a suitable location for the signal tower nearby.

If the Wu family is destroyed, they can only arrange a node nearby and deploy a signal tower by themselves.

Cao Rui rushed over to check.

The location where Chen Rui found the signal tower node was located on a remote and uninhabited mountain peak.

This mountain peak towers into the clouds and is so steep and dangerous that it is simply beyond the reach of mortals.

It is really appropriate to open a training cave here, arrange a magic array to cover it up, and place a signal tower at the same time.

After receiving Cao Rui's approval, ten disciples from the Weapon Refining Academy immediately took action.

As expected of the elite disciples of the Weapon Refining Institute, they were skillful in their movements and cooperated with each other tacitly. It only took them a few hours to successfully complete the arrangement work.

A training cave was opened, the phantom array enveloped it, and the signal tower was securely placed in it.

Immediately afterwards, the signal tower was quickly activated, emitting a weak but steady light and connecting to the nearby signal tower.

The disciples present were surprised to find that the Spiritual Sound Jade Pendant in their hands had once again restored its communication function with the Moon Country.

The signal tower was activated and placed in the training cave.

The disciples responsible for guarding the stronghold within the sect have not arrived yet, so only one disciple from the Weapon Refining Academy can stay temporarily to help guard the stronghold here.

Until the disciples from the sect who took over the stronghold mission came over.

For the remaining eight strongholds, Cao Rui handed over the signal towers to Chen Rui and asked Chen Rui to lead his disciples to arrange them.

Cao Rui himself was lurking near the Wu family ruins, waiting quietly for the monks from the Yunshui Sect to come.

in this way.

A few days passed.

During this period, it rained heavily, turning the Wu Manor into a complete ruin.

Cao Ruizheng was wondering whether people from the Yunshui Sect would stop coming here.

On this day, a figure came from the horizon.

The figure slowly stayed in the sky above the Wu family ruins.

"Sure enough, an accident happened. Was it caused by the Spiritual Beast Sect?" The visitor looked solemn.

This person is Gongsun Zhi, the master of weapon refining of Yunshui Sect.

"It should be someone from the Spiritual Beast Sect who discovered something unusual."

"According to Wu Tong's previous summons, Yunshui Sect should have installed a signal tower nearby."

Gongsun Zhi unfolded his consciousness and searched the area carefully.

Cao Rui, who was lurking on one side, had his concealment technique fully activated and managed to avoid Gongsun Zhi's spiritual detection.

Soon, Gongsun Zhi detected anomalies on the nearby mountain where the signal tower was located.

"Huh? Level 0 illusion array?"

Gongsun Zhi raised his weapon and flew towards the mountain peak.

Arriving in front of the mountain peak, Gongsun Zhi's consciousness easily penetrated the level 0 magic circle and detected the signal tower and Spirit Beast Sect disciples inside.

The disciples of the Spiritual Beast Sect in the stronghold also stood up quickly, and a strange Foundation Establishment Stage monk locked onto him, which made his hair stand on end.

"Get out!" Gongsun Zhi Ning shouted.

"Friend Yunshui Sect, calm down, why are you so angry?" A figure came out of the air and flew behind Gongsun Zhi.

Gongsun Zhi was startled and turned around to see this young man, wearing the purple robe of a high-ranking member of the Spiritual Beast Sect, looking at him indifferently.

The Wu family should have been destroyed in the hands of this son...

"What does this Taoist fellow from Yunshui Sect have to do here?" Cao Rui asked first.

Gongsun Zhi frowned: "The Wu family, a family that cultivates immortality nearby, has an old relationship with me, but was it destroyed by you?"

Cao Rui admitted generously: "I was the one who killed him. On behalf of the Spiritual Beast Sect, I negotiated a business deal with Wu Tong, the head of the Wu family. However, this person was not very honest. He agreed openly, but secretly colluded with others to get it." He stole the second-level magic weapon of my Spiritual Beast Sect, so I destroyed his clan in a fit of rage."

Cao Rui admitted generously that Gongsun Zhi had nothing to say for a while. It was impossible to really start a war between the Wu family and the Spiritual Beast Sect.

After a moment of silence, Gongsun Zhi said, "Fellow Taoist, you still went too far."

"Is it possible that Taoist friend wants to stand up for the Wu family? Is this a personal grudge or a sect grudge?" Cao Rui said with a slight smile.

Gongsun Zhi finally gave up after looking at Cao Rui, an elusive person who appeared in his consciousness.

He is a weapon refiner, and he can fight very hard when he uses his realm to suppress others, but he is scared when facing Cao Rui, whose background he cannot see.

When did the Spirit Beast Sect have such a young and unfathomable foundation-building cultivator?

"Since the Wu family is at fault first, I have nothing to say."

"However, what are you doing in the Spirit Beast Sect?" Gongsun Zhi pointed to the stronghold on the mountain.

Cao Rui smiled faintly: "This is not a market protected by high-level formations, and there are no large number of cultivators stationed there. It is just a temporary stronghold arranged by our Spirit Beast Sect. It can provide rest for the disciples of the sect and pass on messages. This is not considered breaking the rules, right? Don't say that your Yunshui Sect has no similar stronghold in Xiaoguo."

Gongsun Zhi was silent again. This Spirit Beast Sect was too cunning. With the help of the Lingyin Jade Pendant, after setting up the stronghold, Gongsun Zhi could predict that as the number of people using the Lingyin Jade Pendant increased, the casual cultivators of Xiaoguo would inevitably lean towards the Spirit Beast Sect.

"The signal base is an important place for our Spirit Beast Sect."

"Our Sect Master once said that if someone attacks the signal base of our Spirit Beast Sect."

"We don't mind starting a war again, so I hope this fellow Taoist will not make similar dangerous moves."

"If you continue to provoke our Spirit Beast Sect, the consequences will be disastrous." Cao Rui warned in a serious tone.

Cao Rui was referring to Gongsun Zhi's previous show of force in front of the base.

If Cao Rui was not there, Gongsun Zhi might have rushed into the cave and killed people to seize the signal tower.

At this time, Cao Rui made his attitude clear. If Yunshui Sect dared to do so again, it would really touch the bottom line of the Spirit Beast Sect.

Gongsun Zhi was indeed shocked by Cao Rui's words.
