He lowered his eyes to signal to sixth junior brother Zi Niu and second junior brother Mu Xu Taoist.

The moment they caught his eye, Zi Niu and Mu Xu suddenly sprang into action, rapidly stepping towards Yun Mei Taoist.

Their steps traced long horizontal and short vertical patterns on the ground—they were weaving an array.

As the array was woven, it exploded with astonishing force, pulling toward Yun Mei.

"What are you doing?"

Yun Mei reacted, her toes touched the ground, attempting to leap gracefully and escape the array.

Once this array is formed, countless hidden air currents surround it.

These currents interlocked like jagged teeth; if you were to be accidentally hooked or collide with them, your movement would slow just a bit, and the rest of the currents would wrap around you like ropes, trapping you in the array, unable to break free.

Yun Mei Taoist, a long-time practitioner of arrays, naturally understood the mysteries within, and his eyes glowed with a purple light to view the invisible path of the currents, carefully avoiding them.

Everyone was Taishang, without significant differences in skill level; moreover, Zi Niu and Mu Xu had the advantage of the first move, so Yun Mei fully committed his focus to dodging the array without the slightest negligence.

While he was wholeheartedly escaping the array, he failed to notice a silhouette appearing above his head.

This person was Hulu Taoist.

Hulu Taoist hung in the air, suddenly plummeting down. As he fell to within a foot above Yun Mei Taoist’s head, his toes abruptly jabbed down, striking Yun Mei’s crown.

"Fall."

Hulu Taoist let out a light chant, descending again, his toes pressing Yun Mei Taoist down towards the ground.

Seeing this, Zi Niu and Mu Xu simultaneously formed Taoist spells, and the array on the ground lifted fiercely.

The array lifted upward, toes pressing downward,

The three senior brothers attacked from above and below, trapping Yun Mei Taoist in the center.

"Ka-cha, ka-cha..."

After a few crisp sounds, the power of the rotating array twisted Yun Mei Taoist’s feet off,

while Hulu Taoist’s toes had already penetrated into Yun Mei Taoist’s head.

"Speak...speak...alright...the divination..."

"Brother Yun, if you do the divination, you’ll be invincible; how could we dare to compete with you in divination?"

Hulu Taoist had already floated away,

while Yun Mei Taoist lay on the ground, staring hatefully at the five senior brothers.

"Third junior brother, don’t blame us, when the battlefield begins, we will definitely kill Zhou Xuan to honor your spirit."

Mu Xu Taoist spoke mournfully, though his eyes smiled as he squatted and tapped Yun Mei’s brow with two fingers, ending his life.

However, just as Yun Mei Taoist died, a hand burst forth from Mu Xu Taoist’s chest.

"Poof!"

As the hand pierced through him, it brought out a lot of blood, splattering Mu Xu Taoist’s face. He looked down.

The second hand, third hand, fourth... penetrated through his body in succession.

These four hands varied in length and skin color, clearly belonging to four different people.

Mu Xu Taoist had been collectively backstabbed by his four senior brothers.

"Why...is it...me?"

"Betraying our kin started with you, second junior brother. Now that you face death by our hands, it is simply cause and effect."

Hulu Taoist first gave a vicious glance at "Zi Niu," then looked firmly at Mu Xu Taoist, speaking icily.

In truth, he intended to seize the chance to eliminate Zi Niu.

After all, Zi Niu had exposed his disgrace in front of so many spectators in Mingjiang Prefecture—but Zi Niu usually got along well with the other senior brothers, killing him now would disrupt the formation arrangement.

"Once off this stage, I’ll find an opportunity to kill Zi Niu, it doesn’t matter, but for now, let’s kill the coward Mu Xu first."

The four senior brothers’ hands, moving like the tentacles of an octopus, drew symbols on Mu Xu Taoist’s chest with their fingertips.

As the symbols became increasingly clear, Mu Xu Taoist’s body quickly withered, his life force evaporating in mere moments.

Thus, the internal strife within the Tunnel Armor Sect temporarily came to a halt,

of nearly thirty people, only four Taishang now remained alive.

Hulu Taoist, filled with indignant rage, gestured toward Zhou Xuan: "Zhou Xuan, step down, I challenge you to a duel."

Zhou Xuan gently shook his head, simultaneously pointing to the Buddha Country Warrior, saying, "Old Hulu, no rush, your numbers are compliant, but they haven’t finished yet."

The Buddha Country Warrior seemed to be alone, but in reality, Zhou Xuan could perceive that many things were hidden within the warrior’s abdomen—the warrior was not a single person.

The Buddha Country Warrior lowered his head and inquired, "We also don’t meet the numbers, what should we do?"

"Buddha Country’s Five Forms, reveal true selves."

A voice echoed from within the warrior’s belly...
