The Poison Lord's intentions were simple.
He would give Murong Niu and the other two a chance to attack for the sake of the Murong family. This way, he would be able to save a poison array. After all, such a large poison array was not cheap. If he were to rely on the poison array to defeat his opponents, the poison array would be completely destroyed. If he could fight without using the poison array, it would not be a bad thing for the Poison Lord.
"Alright."
Murong Niu agreed readily to the Poison Lord's suggestion.
They were well aware of the Void Order's power. They may not be weak but if they were to join forces, they would not be able to withstand a single blow. Under these circumstances, it did not matter if they used the Poison Lord's poison array or not.
Since the Poison Lord had given them a chance to perform meritorious deeds, they would not let it go.
However, at this moment, the Phoenix King was in a bad mood. She raised her brows and looked at the Poison Lord. She then lowered her voice and said, "Poison Lord, what are you doing?
We can easily take down the Void Order's members. Why should we give up the credit? "
"I have my own plans."
The Poison Lord glanced calmly at the Phoenix King as if he did not care at all. He then replied calmly, "If you want the credit, you can follow us in!"
"You!"
The Phoenix King furrowed her brows when she heard this. Her heart was filled with dissatisfaction towards the Poison Lord.
The Murong family had also noticed the exchange between the Phoenix King and the Poison Lord. Murong Niu glanced at the Phoenix King and said, "Let's get ready to go!"
They did not want to waste any more time. If the Phoenix King and the Poison Lord did not enter, the three of them would be able to take all the credit. That would be a great profit.
Hence, under Murong Niu's lead, the Murong family cultivators headed towards the World King's Valley.
"Good luck."
Just then, the Poison Lord glanced at the three members of the Murong family and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll keep watch outside. I won't let a single person out."
"Poison Lord!"
Hearing this, the Phoenix King felt an impulse to beat the Poison Lord up. She was growing more and more dissatisfied with the Poison Lord's actions. She has already made up her mind to complain about the Poison Lord to the Shura Sect's Master once she returns to the Shura Sect.
The Phoenix King glared fiercely at the Poison Lord. She then led the Shura Sect's subordinates and followed behind them angrily.
The Poison Lord did not care about the Phoenix King's reaction.
He only cared about the words he had just said — he wouldn't let anyone out.
He would not release the members of the Void Order. Similarly, he would not release the members of the Murong family and the Asura Sect.
At the same time, Murong Niu and the others did not deliberately conceal themselves. Relying on their own senses, they quickly charged into the valley.
In their opinion, even if there was an ambush set up by the Void Gate in the valley, it would not pose any threat to them. This was because they were absolutely superior in terms of both quantity and quality.
"Bastard of the Buddhist Sect, die!"
"Come out and accept your death, bastard of the Buddhist Sect."
…
At this moment, the members of the Murong family began to shout all sorts of slogans. Their goal this time was to destroy the members of the Buddhist Order. Naturally, they could not afford to lose in terms of momentum.
In comparison, the Phoenix King was in a more awkward position.
For this operation, the Shura Sect had sent out the two Shura Kings while the Murong Family had sent out the three Murong Zodiacs. They were supposed to be working together but now that the Poison Lord had 'retreated', it was difficult for her to act alone. Under these circumstances, she could only keep a low profile and follow them from the side.
"You are the ones who should die!"
Just then, a voice rang out. At the same time, two figures charged towards the Phoenix King.
These two were none other than the Order Master and the Great Elder of the Buddhist Sect.
Both of them were Semi-Saints at the peak of the Buddhist Sect. Their powers were no weaker than that of the Phoenix King. At this moment, both of them had launched a fatal attack on the Phoenix King, putting her in a dangerous situation.
When Murong She saw this, he was astonished. He looked at Murong Niu and Murong Hou and raised his eyebrows, "This … What do we do now? Do we save her?"
Even though the Shura Sect and the Murong family were in an alliance, the grudges between the two families ran deep. It was unrealistic for them to form an alliance without any grudges. Hence, they did not really want to save the Phoenix King.
However, due to the fact that the two families were in an alliance, they had no choice but to save her. Murong Niu hesitated for a moment before slowly replying, "Of course we must save her. However, there's no need to rush. Let's observe for a while before we make our move!"
"Understood."
Hearing this, Murong She and Murong Hou revealed a smile that could only be understood but not explained in words.
As long-time partners, how could they not understand Murong Niu's thoughts? Murong Niu was doing this because he wanted the Phoenix King to suffer a little and exhaust her powers.
The Murong family's Three Zodiacs had yet to make their move. The Shura Sect's subordinates were no match for the Order Master and the Great Elder of the Buddhist Sect. The Phoenix King was in a precarious situation.
Even though she was also at the peak of the Semi-Saint Realm, it was still difficult for her to fight against two enemies at the same time. Furthermore, the Order Master and the Great Elder of the Buddhist Sect had launched a sneak attack on the Phoenix King. Under these circumstances, it was already a miracle that she had been able to defend herself.
At this moment, she needed the help of her companions. However, her 'companions' were watching the show from the sidelines!
This enraged the Phoenix King. She glared at the Murong family's Three Zodiacs and spat hatefully, "Look at the situation now, Murong Niu! Are the three of you still watching the show?!"
"Ahem …"
Murong Niu cleared his throat. He then smiled and replied calmly, "Don't worry, Phoenix King. We're only looking for an opportunity. Hold on a little longer!"
"You!"
Hearing this, the Phoenix King was so angry that she nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood. The Order Master and the Great Elder of the Buddhist Sect's attacks grew even more ferocious as if they would not rest until the Phoenix King was dead.
"This …"
When Murong She saw that the Phoenix King was being suppressed by the Order Master and the Great Elder of the Buddhist Sect, he turned to Murong Niu and said, "Second Brother, I think she's about to die."
"Mm."
Nodding his head, Murong Niu slowly said, "It's about time. We just want to teach her a lesson, not take her life. If our cooperation with the Shura Sect breaks down because of this, the Master will definitely blame us. Get ready to strike!"
In reality, the reason why Murong Niu and the others had been watching the show for such a long time was not only to exhaust the Phoenix King's power but also to teach her a lesson. After all, the Phoenix King could have saved Murong Yang and Murong Quan back at the Medicine Sect but she had abandoned them and ran away on her own. Murong Niu and the others still held a grudge against her for that.
However, the Murong family and the Shura Sect were currently working together. Even though they were not happy with the Phoenix King, they still had to consider the bigger picture. Hence, they had no choice but to attack.
However, just as they were about to attack, a cry of 'Amitabha' rang out. At the same time, a golden light flashed and landed on the Phoenix King's back.
