Chapter 653 Backstabbing an Ally
Today, the entire cave is covered with the runes and markings of the demon race, which shine brightly and exude extraordinary power.
These uncommon demon marks have been used to deal with human Confucian cultivators since ancient times.
Human cultivators can use their power to subdue demons and ghosts, so why wouldn't some powerful demon and ghost clans with deep resources find a way to deal with humans?
Lu Zheng sensed the changes around him and indeed found that there were some obstacles to releasing his righteous energy, and its power was weakened.
Lu Zheng looked at the location of the Armadillo King and said leisurely, "If that's the case, then come and kill me."
Upon hearing this, the Armadillo King gritted his teeth, but dared not make a move. Instead, he cautiously concealed his aura and silently moved his position.
Nobody knows what other tricks Lu Zheng has up his sleeve, and the Crow King doesn't want to be the one to stick his neck out.
"This grotto-heaven is a world unto itself, there's no need for us to take action. You just stay here..."
Countless runes formed from auras flew up and enveloped Lu Zheng.
Within the grotto, a unique power of heaven and earth permeated the area.
Lu Zheng was locked in by a powerful force, and his entire body was restricted.
Moving your body requires significantly more energy.
"The Master said..."
As Lu Zheng recited the words of the sages, he discovered that his words caused countless demonic runes to react violently, dissipating the power of the verbal technique.
Interesting… Lu Zheng’s eyes flickered slightly.
He had witnessed similar stories when he was in the Yunmeng Sect, where demonic seals could restrain the power of human cultivators.
Now he's encountered it firsthand and experienced it firsthand; he's definitely got some tricks up his sleeve.
Breaking this method is not that complicated; it can be done by force.
In the face of absolute power, everything else seems merely flashy and superficial.
Lu Zheng took a deep breath and looked into the shadows.
Under the influence of the power of the cave, he couldn't find the location of anyone else for a while.
They were all clearly still wary of him and wouldn't show themselves easily.
Fortunately, he had already observed those people; they were all familiar faces, people he had seen at Huai Jun's birthday banquet, and some of the people who had received his letters.
Lu Zheng suddenly spoke up: "Are you really not going to surrender?"
Everyone was speechless upon hearing this. It was as if Lu Zheng had surrounded all of them, these powerful individuals, all by himself.
Seeing that no one answered, Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "Very well, I, Lu, will put in some effort and let's see who's the real deal!"
In the shadows, everyone became vigilant, each adorned with protective artifacts to guard against any eventuality.
Lu Zheng stood still and slowly began to speak: "The Evil Demon Qiu, at the Profound Realm, has cultivated for over a hundred years, wreaking havoc on the region, causing immense suffering to the people, with hundreds of thousands harmed by it..."
When the others heard Lu Zheng recounting the crimes of the Armadillo King, their expressions turned strange. What was going on?
The Armadillo King listened with a gloomy expression. Lu Zheng still had time to say these things at this moment, which was really nonsensical.
Lu Zheng spoke slowly and deliberately, and no one disturbed him.
"...The demonic fox has committed heinous acts and committed grave sins, showing no sign of repentance. It should be punished with death, its body and soul destroyed."
King Qiu was furious. How could he be convicted like this? What was the point of saying such things? Even the Confucian principle of "words becoming law" didn't apply to this.
"Lu Zheng, acting on behalf of Heaven, shall be punished in Heaven's name!"
Lu Zheng's expression hardened, and the Taiping Codex within his body vibrated.
A powerful aura was released from the codex.
Lu Zheng raised his hand, and white lightning was clearly visible.
The next instant, the lightning vanished into nothingness.
The Armadillo King, hidden in the shadows, felt a sudden pang of fear and wanted to teleport to another location.
However, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared before them, piercing into the Armadillo King's body without any hindrance.
"Ah!" The Armadillo King couldn't help but let out a scream.
He felt a powerful force raging within him, frantically destroying his body and soul.
For a moment, the Armadillo King suffered a splitting headache and excruciating pain all over his body.
Lu Zheng's figure flashed, arriving with the thunder.
Upon seeing Lu Zheng suddenly appear before him, the King of the Flying Fox stared wide-eyed, his eyes also revealing a hint of fear.
"you……"
Lu Zheng's expression was cold, and his aura was terrifying.
In the eyes of the Flying Fox King, Lu Zheng was like a completely different person.
"die."
Lu Zheng's tone was indifferent, as if he had directly sentenced the King of the Foxes to death.
The aura emanating from Lu Zheng directly enveloped the Armadillo King.
Before the Armadillo King could put up any resistance, his body convulsed for a moment, and he died on the spot, his soul and spirit annihilated.
The people hiding elsewhere were horrified. How could the way the Armadillo King died be so similar to that of the Huai King back then?
They still couldn't figure out what kind of trump card Lu Zheng had used to kill the Armadillo King so suddenly, even though the various protective treasures on the Armadillo King's body couldn't stop it.
"What, what exactly did you do?"
Someone couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "How come the power of this grotto-heaven is useless? Could it be a skill passed down to you by a sage?"
Lu Zheng said calmly, "If I had the means given by a sage, would I be wasting my time with you?"
Lu Zheng paused for a moment, then said, "You are indeed quite capable, having prepared so many demonic runes that can restrain the power of Confucianism and Taoism. However, it's a pity... Lu is not only skilled in the power of Confucianism and Taoism."
"It seems you are no match for such power, so prepare to die."
Lu Zheng's actions just now had weakened some of these people's strength, and he also realized that this cave was indeed completely isolated from the outside world.
Perfect, they've all become sitting ducks.
Seeing that his Legalist power could quickly slay the great demon, Lu Zheng naturally didn't bother trying other methods.
As he spoke, Lu Zheng waved his hand, and the Taiping Codex, radiating colorful energy, was already in his hand.
This sudden change filled everyone with dread.
A deep-seated fear surfaced, impossible to dispel, as if some great terror was about to befall us.
Upon seeing this, some people, without the slightest hesitation, prepared to flee this grotto.
However, the next moment, some people realized that they couldn't leave this place at all.
"Huh? Why can't we get out!"
"Damn it, the escape talisman failed! How could this be..."
……
The group wanted to leave the cave, but found that their backup plan was not working for the time being.
It's as if they've locked themselves inside.
They all looked at Lu Zheng, completely baffled as to when he had done something to trap them here.
Lu Zheng was using the Codex to lock down everyone's aura when he saw this and couldn't help but say, "It has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything."
The fact that these people didn't escape immediately wasn't because Lu Zheng did anything.
However, Lu Zheng had some vague guesses.
Soon, a voice rang out, "Young Master Lu, I made some changes to this cave, so they won't be able to leave for a while. Let's execute them on the spot and not let them escape!"
Upon hearing this, the group of Transcendent Realm cultivators were both shocked and furious; there really was a traitor among them!
Now, at this critical juncture, they've come out and ruthlessly betrayed them.
Now that the cave is isolated from the outside world, they are unable to use their methods at all.
