Chapter 1078
Faced with Xu Shan's questioning, Shi Li, whose eyes darted away and whose heart was in turmoil, chose to remain silent.
But one of his trusted confidants shouted at the top of his lungs, "Xu, Xu Shan, do you really think we Red Miao people are cowards who are afraid of death?"
"I'm warning you..."
"The Coffin Mountain Ancestor has been resurrected."
"If you dare to lay a finger on us today, the consequences will be unimaginable."
As soon as he finished shouting those words, Xu Shan keenly noticed a familiar figure darting up behind him.
In that instant, Master Xu took a large step back.
'bass! ’
'Sizzle.'
"what……"
The moment Shi Li's confidant finished speaking, Li Yuanfang, unable to bear it any longer, drew his sword and beheaded him.
Silky smooth and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
In an instant, the blood spurting from Stone Gravel's henchmen, now headless corpses, splattered like ink onto the faces and bodies of their companions.
This elicited their piercing and terrified screams.
Even the pebble, though he remained silent with restraint, revealed his inner panic through the movement of his Adam's apple and the beads of sweat dripping from his chin.
"If I hear it again, who dares to bare their teeth at my parents..."
"It's not going to be solved with one cut. I'll slice him alive, one cut at a time!"
Like a demon, Li Yuanfang, holding his still-dripping Embroidered Spring Blade, coldly warned the three remaining people on the scene.
At that moment, the three of them even became careful with their breathing.
At this moment, Xu Shan smiled and waved to Li Yuanfang, signaling him to step back for the time being. Then, he walked up to Shi Li and said, "You should have heard that. In twenty minutes, whether you speak or not, this imperial envoy will lead his troops to storm Coffin Mountain."
"You don't have much time left."
"Elder Shi, you must cherish this!"
‘Gulu. ’
Hearing this, Shi Li swallowed hard, suppressing his fear, and asked softly, "If I... if I tell... if Imperial Envoy Xu... could you let us go?"
"Of course! Not only will I release you, but I will also let you go to Chengdu to reunite with the Princess of Shu."
"If I remember correctly, the Princess Consort of Shu should be from the same lineage as Elder Shi."
"Really?" Stone Gravel asked again.
"You should ask around; I, Xu Shan, am a man of my word."
"Alright, can we begin? Time is of the essence."
'call.'
After Xu Shan finished speaking, as if he had made a great decision, Shi Li finally chose to speak.
"My lord, this is the map of Coffin Mountain provided by the Black Miao."
As the gravel opened, Li Yuanfang handed it over at the opportune moment.
"Elder Shi, please mark this. We will verify it!"
"Once everything is fully compliant, you can leave."
After Xu Shan finished speaking, the restraints on Shi Li's body were also lifted.
Knowing that the other party could decide his life or death in a single thought, Shi Li naturally dared not play any tricks at this time.
Therefore, we dutifully marked out the entire defensive distribution of Coffin Mountain.
Of course, he also kept a watchful eye on things.
The defenses for their own lineage were vaguely defined. In contrast, the defenses of the Great Shaman Shi Teng's lineage were meticulous in every detail.
Shi Li also had his own ulterior motives.
Once Xu Shan breaches Guanshan, Shi Teng will undoubtedly launch a full-scale counterattack.
If he were to perish in this contest, given his strength and the background of the Shu Queen, he would naturally become the top choice for the next 'Great Shaman' of the Red Miao.
Even if he is seriously injured, he has a very high chance of gaining the favor of the Witch Ancestor.
But the prerequisite is that his lineage must preserve its strength.
As for Xu Shan...
He underestimated his opponent and delivered himself into their hands.
How could the ancestor of witchcraft let him go?
"Alright, alright, Lord Xu!"
When Shi Li handed the map to Xu Shan, he also explained in detail the key points of the Guanshan defense zone.
Of course, these areas are all controlled by Shi Teng's direct descendants.
"Imperial Envoy Xu, there is something I need to explain. The 'Seven Formations of the Red Miao' (or 'Seven Formations of the Red Miao') and their tenth and eleventh bends cannot be opened from the outside."
"Even if we go back, we must reveal our identities and wait for the people inside the coffin mountain to open it."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shan, who had put away the map, replied with a smile, "Then we'll trouble Elder Shi to help us open the [Seven Formations and Ten and Eleven Bends]!"
Just as Xu Shan finished speaking, the system notification sounded suddenly.
'Ding dong. '
"Congratulations, host. The deduction of the [Red Seed Seven Formations Ten and Eleven Bends] has been completed."
As the system notification sounded, Shi Li, whose face had completely collapsed, immediately said, "Xu, Imperial Envoy Xu, please, please let me lead you in?"
"Isn't that..."
Before Shi Li could finish speaking, Chen Dingtian suddenly appeared and patted him on the shoulder.
He then said with a smile, "So you came out here to investigate our whereabouts, right? Now that you've found out, shouldn't you hurry back to report?"
"As long as you perform well, the position of Grand Shaman is yours for the taking."
As they were talking, Chen Dingtian had already quietly slipped a [Thunderbolt Spell Talisman] into Shi Li's clothes.
Coincidentally!
The two of Shi Li's confidants were tricked by the overly familiar Chen Dingtian.
Human bombs, incredibly thrilling!
That's more than enough; it'll give those Red Miao elders a run for their money.
Under Xu Shan's threat, Shi Li and the others had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
However, they had already made up their minds.
If they really escape back, they'll definitely turn around and accuse us.
at the same time……
Xu Shan pulled Chen Dingtian and the others aside to devise a strategy.
"Are you sure you can ignore the [Red Miao Seven Formations, Tenth and Eleventh Bends] and sneak in ahead of time?"
Faced with Chen Dingtian's question, Xu Shan replied with a smile, "Otherwise? How did you manage to get to Jinjiangling unscathed?"
"Let's proceed according to my plan."
"I will personally lead the people from Tianxue and Mingyue Pavilion to sneak in first."
"Master Chen has been punished. He will lead Gou Dan and Yuan Fang to help draw fire from the front."
"【Corpse and Deterioration】(Surrendered Minister) is currently in seclusion. Among the entire Red Miao, only Shi Teng is truly resilient. If I strike in time, I can kill him with a single blow."
"Without a leader, even if the Red Miao people have the upper hand, they are just a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals."
Hearing this, Chen Dingtian nodded slightly.
"Heavenly blood!"
"arrive."
"After you enter the village with me, follow these markings and quickly eliminate the sentries in these three locations."
"This is the core of the entire Red Miao Mountain Protection Formation."
"We must not allow them to activate this formation."
"clear."
"After the deed is done, we will flank them and ambush the Red Miao elders who are rushing to our aid..."
Before entering the battle, Xu Shan gave a detailed briefing to Tian Xue and the other assassins from the Dark Moon Pavilion, making preparations for their mission.
After doing all this, he emphasized, "Brothers!"
"Have!"
"After storming into the coffin mountain..."
"Leave no scraps of armor behind!"
"Use every despicable means at your disposal."
"Remember, we are eliminating a scourge for the country!"
"Yes."
After giving these instructions, Xu Shan led the team to the barrier at the tenth and eleventh bends of the Seven Formations of the Red Miao.
Based on the markings provided by the gravel, they chose to quietly break into the camp from the flank.
