Chapter 367: Fierce Battle

Chu Yun also has a certain understanding of the "Xuanyuan crossbow" held in the hands of these archers on the hillside, which is a weapon specifically aimed at martial cultivators, which can continuously shoot crossbow arrows with the power of absorbing true yuan, once these crossbow arrows pierce the body of a martial artist, even if it is not the heart part, it will make the martial artist lose his combat effectiveness in an instant.

Looking around, after glancing at it, Chu Yun roughly estimated that there were two thousand crossbowmen on this small hillside, although their martial arts strength was in the early stage of the True Martial Realm, but with the "Xuanyuan Crossbow" in their hands, plus they were well-trained, even if they were masters of the Jade Martial Realm, they were probably difficult to fly, and Chu Yun had obviously become a complete disadvantage.

"It seems that this matter is a bit tricky and not easy to solve. ”

After all, the people of the Five Elements had been through a hundred battles, and they had already heard of the horror of the Zhu family's "Xuanyuan Crossbow", so they all frowned, and then moved their eyes to Chu Yun, but when they saw Chu Yun's indifferent expression, they admired it in their hearts and blamed themselves slightly.

"Young Master Yun has heard of the power of the Xuanyuan crossbow?" the man at the head of the Five Elements asked with a sideways face.

"I've heard, I've heard that anyone who hits this Xuanyuan crossbow arrow, even if it's a martial artist, will be instantly sealed with the power of True Yuan in his body!" Chu Yun replied.

"This is actually not the most terrifying, the terrible thing is that there will be martial cultivators who will come to fight us at close range, and then those crossbowmen will shoot arrows in unison. The man at the head explained in detail.

Hearing this, Chu Yun was stunned: "Random arrows are fired? Aren't they afraid of hurting their own people? In order to deal with the enemy, this Zhu family can even ignore their own people?"

The man in charge shook his head: "This is the terrible thing about the Xuanyuan crossbow, the Xuanyuan crossbow shoots their own martial cultivators, it will only cause skin injuries, but if it hits us, even if it doesn't penetrate our hearts, we will be sealed with the power of the True Yuan, even if it is a jade martial realm like me, it will be paralyzed by it." ”

After learning the characteristics of this Xuanyuan crossbow, Chu Yun breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately the middle-aged man trayed to him, otherwise he would definitely wear the trap of this Xuanyuan crossbow.

Chu Yun hurriedly bowed to the man in charge: "Thank you for saving your life." ”

The man at the head hurriedly replied: "The old-timers don't dare to be it, Young Master Yun will call me Lao Wu, my surname is Wu, and my name is Chunqiu." ”

Chu Yun bowed again: "Thank you Senior Wu for saving your life." ”

Wu Chunqiu sneered: "Young Master Yun is too polite, in fact, I probably know their plan, the reason why they haven't done it now is that they want to make you change your mind, and then put you under house arrest, and use you to blackmail the six elders not to make a move." ”

Chu Yun exclaimed, "House arrest me?" Moving his gaze forward, looking at the enemy's complacent expression, he could roughly guess the purpose of these people.

If the purpose of these enemies is as Wu Chunqiu said, then there is still room for maneuver in the matter.

"No wonder they don't do it now, they want to force my father through me. ”

Wu Chunqiu continued to explain: "Yes, they know that the six elders and the third elders of the upper echelons of the Chu family are extremely difficult to deal with, although Chu Tianheng is stupid, but the ancestors of the Chu family who are not familiar with the world behind him will never hand over the Chu family to the Zhu family, so they plan to coerce us to surrender through various means. ”

Hearing Wu Chunqiu's words, Chu Yun didn't quite understand what he meant, and hurriedly asked, "What does Uncle Wu mean by this? Could it be that the ancestor of our Chu family has not died yet?"

Wu Chunqiu said: "Young Master Yun has just entered this martial arts cultivation realm, many things you don't know, the ancestors of this Chu family have been sleeping, they have been unable to break through the martial realm for a long time, and finally freeze their strength in a certain martial realm. Probably in the middle and late stages of the Jade Martial Realm, after the strength of the Martial Realm was frozen, they stopped cultivating and chose to sleep, and when the Chu family was in crisis, they would be awakened, when I was arranged by the second elder to find out how the Zhu family destroyed the Li family, I had witnessed the ancestors of the Li family being awakened, these sleeping ancestors were extremely powerful in the martial arts realm, and they had been experienced in a hundred battles, and it was extremely difficult to deal with. ”

Chu Yun was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly understood the meaning of Wu Chunqiu's words. This is estimated to be a special rule in the Xuanhuang world, if a powerful martial artist falls into a bottleneck for a long time, he will definitely choose to enter a dormant state, and then wait until the right time to be awakened by others, to solve some problems that cannot be solved by future generations, or to help future generations to encroach on other people's martial arts resources, in this way, it not only ensures the continuation of its lifespan, but also can better ensure that future generations can achieve succession, and after re-dormancy, maybe they can also break through the bottleneck, this approach of killing three birds with one stone is obviously extremely in line with the law of the jungle in the Xuanhuang world, and it is also completely in line with the character of those heroes in troubled times。

"These old immortals, abacus is really good!"

Choking up for a while, Chu Yun continued to ask, "Then the Zhu family must also have ancestors. ”

Wu Chunqiu said: "The Zhu family's attack on our Chu family with great fanfare this time is by no means his will, it must have been carefully deployed. Presumably Young Master Yun is also very clear that the master of the Zhu family alone does not have such courage at all, it must be one of its ancestors who has been awakened, and this ancestor of the Zhu family is estimated to improve his own strength in order to get the Chu family's mental method, so he will be so popular, and according to my experience and analysis, the number of the ancestors of the Zhu family who have been awakened must be more than one, and there must be no less than ten, and the strength is around the late stage of the Yuwu Realm, or even the early stage of the Xuanwu Realm. ”

Chu Yun said: "No wonder the Zhu family's ambitions are huge, it turns out that behind this... I thought that the backstage behind the Zhu family was the recently declining Seven Swords Sect, but I didn't expect it to be these ancestors of the Zhu family. ”

Wu Chunqiu said: "According to the information I have gotten, in fact, the Zhu family has made a few plans, and it is estimated that they also have the secret support of the Seven Swords Gate in the background, but the Seven Swords Gate will definitely not support the Zhu family openly, and will only provide the Zhu family with some siege weapons and some high-level mental methods, and will not really send people to participate in these family battles, otherwise they will be caught by more powerful forces such as Xianyun Pavilion and Tianyun Palace, and when the time comes, there will be one." The division is famous', even the imperial family can't protect him, the master of the Seven Swords Gate will definitely not be so stupid, and the Great Elder's side has already connected with the Seven Swords Gate. ”

Chu Yun exclaimed again: "So the Seven Swords Sect not only has dealings with the Zhu family's case, but also has secret dealings with the Great Elder?"

Wu Chunqiu said: "Yes, the purpose of the Seven Swords Gate to do this kind of thing is to let the two sides merge with each other, and then he will reap the benefits of the fisherman, as for why the Seven Swords Gate is like this, I guess that after they are recognized by the imperial family as the "Nine Great Forces", they know that they are not enough to bear the heavy responsibilities given to them by the imperial family, so they want to find a good way to retreat, and if the Zhu family and the Chu family merge, the Seven Swords Gate can naturally report to the imperial family, withdraw from the "Nine Forces", and be able to find a place to live." ”

Chu Yun said: "If they want to withdraw from the 'Nine Great Forces', why should they intervene in the struggle between the Zhu family and the Chu family?"

Wu Chunqiu said: "Things are not as simple as Young Master Yun thought, if they withdraw from the 'Nine Great Forces', they will not be protected by the imperial family, which is especially fatal to them. And once they withdraw from the "Nine Great Forces", although they will not be eaten by the rest of the Nine Great Forces, but the surrounding forces that have long coveted the central method and high-level magic weapons of the Seven Swords Gate may not be able to attack them, especially those sleeping ancestors, once they learn that the "Seven Swords Gate" has withdrawn from the "Nine Great Forces" and is not protected by the empire, these ancestors will definitely try their best to attack the Seven Swords Gate in order to break through their own martial realm strength. Seventy years ago, when I was just born, there was a "Nine Forces of the Empire" called "Tianque Sect", which was because after withdrawing from the "Nine Forces", it was eaten by the forces below, and was finally divided, forming the current "Xizhou pattern", and at that time, our Chu family also got a piece of the pie. Even the suzerain of the Tianque Sect died in battle, the Seven Swords Sect definitely did not want to repeat the mistakes of the Tianque Sect, so he would naturally take precautions, at least he must weaken the power of the Zhu family and the Chu family in this way, even if he withdrew from the nine major forces of the empire, he would also be the king and hegemon in their Hezhou, and their talents in Hezhou had been hollowed out, so they stretched out their hands to this Xizhou. ”
