What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 172

The Chiyin Cliff, which has thrived in the Jue Tian Mountain Range for thousands of years, naturally has some profound background.

Initially, the information that Li Nian’an received indicated that the Chiyin Cliff had a deep foundation within the Jue Tian Mountain Range, and its leader, Wan Boxiang, was skilled in formations. He had already refined much of the Jue Tian Mountain Range into a gigantic formation.

This news was partly true and partly false.

Indeed, the Chiyin Cliff had a deep foundation within the Jue Tian Mountain Range, and Wan Boxiang was indeed a master of formations.

The only inaccuracy was that Wan Boxiang had refined the entire Jue Tian Mountain Range into a massive formation decades ago. Moreover, he had placed surveillance in the surrounding area.

Long before the cultivators from the Xuan Du Sect and Kai Shan Village arrived last night, the Chiyin Cliff had already received news of their arrival.

Furthermore, before they had even stabilized their footing, they had snatched a disciple from the Xuan Du Sect.

Upon learning their entire plan for this extermination operation, in order to avoid raising suspicions with the Xuan Du Sect and Kai Shan Village cultivators, the Chiyin Cliff's Second Elder, Qiao Jinke, used a soul-binding technique on that disciple and sent him back before dawn.

This was how they managed to avoid alerting the enemy.

Since they were already aware of the Qingyun Sect's extermination operation, the Chiyin Cliff naturally needed to respond.

Thus, Second Elder Qiao Jinke volunteered, preparing to catch the Qingyun Sect and the other sects off guard today while they had yet to stabilize their positions.

Wan Boxiang agreed to this plan and personally set up a formation in the woods, allowing Third Elder Deng Yuanqiu to lead a hundred disciples to lie in ambush.

Once Second Elder Qiao Jinke and his men reached the designated location, the two sides would coordinate their efforts to deal a heavy blow to the righteous cultivators of the Qingyun Sect.

The agreed-upon signal for action was “I was wrong, I’m sorry.”

Surprising, right?

That's right.

In Wan Boxiang’s words, the signal should be unique, something that could not be guessed at all.

However, at this moment, Third Elder Deng Yuanqiu still hadn’t figured out why Second Elder Qiao Jinke had initiated the signal prematurely.

But from the urgent tone, it was clear that the situation was dire.

If that were the case, then they must act!

With a wave of his large sleeve, Deng Yuanqiu transformed into countless black crows, flying ahead.

Once they reached above the heads of the Kai Shan Village cultivators, the multitude of black crows flapped their wings, releasing a purple gas.

All the cultivators who inhaled this gas immediately showed difficulty in their expressions, staggering and collapsing to the ground, losing all fighting ability.

Clearly, they had been poisoned.

Following that, nearly a hundred hidden demon cultivators from the Chiyin Cliff rushed out and began killing.

Their sudden attack indeed caught the Qingyun Sect and Kai Shan Village cultivators off guard.

But under Li Nian’an’s command, the righteous cultivators quickly stabilized their positions and began to fight back against the demon cultivators.

At this moment, Fang Yingzhuang could no longer afford to shout slogans.

He immediately stowed the spiritual stones in his storage ring and drew his long sword to protect Ye Yu.

“Big brother, I’m here to protect you!”

To be fair, those spiritual stones were not wasted.

Fang Yingzhuang, when faced with danger, still knew to provide some protection services.

That was indeed worth the investment.

However, with only the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, this was really awkward.

Are you sure you're protecting me, and not the other way around?

Ye Yu shook his head helplessly.

As time went on, relying solely on the small number of people brought by Third Elder Deng Yuanqiu was not enough to match the four righteous sects.

They quickly began to falter, retreating step by step.

Deng Yuanqiu felt quite bewildered.

Why had he brought people to the battlefield yet not seen Second Elder Qiao Jinke's men?

Was he playing tricks?

Initiating the signal while not appearing himself, was he deliberately setting up his teammates for failure?

The more Deng Yuanqiu thought, the angrier he became.

He shouted loudly, “Qiao, you bastard!”

In truth, this matter had nothing to do with Qiao Jinke.

It was entirely a misunderstanding.

Qiao Jinke was just as puzzled.
