She looked towards the door. Hong Fu had already closed the doors and windows without her knowing. She came over and put her sword back, while Ling Yao——
She took out a white handkerchief.
Huang Quan was stunned. She thought Ling Yao would take out some horrible torture instrument. She was used to seeing these things in Biluo Mansion and was naturally not afraid of them. She was ready to endure it, but she didn't expect it to be an ordinary white handkerchief or even of high-quality material.
The Lord of Biluo Mansion was unable to react for a moment and sneered, "Could it be water torture? I underestimated you, but if you think this trick can scare me, you are wrong!"
Liu Yuan shook his head and laughed, "I am not wrong, it is the Palace Master who is wrong, you guessed wrong."
He took two steps forward and picked up Huang Quan horizontally. The latter had not anticipated his action at all and was carried into the house with his eyes wide open and a dazed look on his face.
It was not until she saw Ling Yao spread a handkerchief on the bed that she began to struggle as if awakened from a dream.
Huang Quan, who had long been hiding under the mask and had almost abandoned her identity as a woman, and had become somewhat complacent because of Liu Yuan's "kindness" over the past half month, seemed to have jumped out of a blind spot and felt an instinctive fear for the first time: "No!"
Ling Yao sat at the table and smiled slightly: "The Palace Master is scared."
Devil! This woman must have the same devil as Vihara in her heart!
Huang Quan cursed in his heart while feeling a cold mask put on his face again. In his narrow field of vision, Liu Yuan's face was very close to him. He felt heavy pressure on his lips, which were rubbed painfully by the edges of the mask.
Huang Quan could imagine the two of them kissing each other through the masks.
She subconsciously frowned because of the cold feeling and felt disgusted. Suddenly, she heard the young man's voice, so low and hoarse that her heart tightened.
"Meisheng..."
The young man's voice was close at hand, yet seemed far away.
Chapter 284 Lingyu
"Swish!" Blood splattered and a head fell to the ground.
The fallen body was caught by a rough-knuckled hand. On the strong bronze arm, a brightly colored spotted giant snake coiled up and opened its bloody mouth forward, swallowing the body in one gulp.
After a horrifying chewing sound, the giant snake's bulging belly returned to its original shape. Its cold animal eyes showed insatiable greed as it continuously spit out its tongue.
"Good, you are indeed a disciple of the number one sect in Central Continent. You have abundant spiritual energy, which is a great tonic." Wu Tianzong reached out and stroked the giant snake that was wrapped around his body affectionately, smiling with his eyes narrowed. He had a square face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked quite kind and simple.
But this kind face was stained with blood, and the words that came out of his mouth were extremely cruel, which made it even more frightening in contrast.
"Brother Lingxi!!!"
"Damn you demon sect monster! Give me back my brother!"
The several Yuxu disciples wearing Taoist robes on the opposite side were horrified, but the man in front of them who looked like a farmer just waved his hand, and Lingxi, who had the highest cultivation among them, was beheaded and buried in the snake's belly. The remaining few people were trembling, and although they wanted to kill the enemy for revenge, they had lost the courage.
To these disciples who have just entered the world of cultivation, the enemy on the opposite side is like a tiger among a flock of sheep. They can only be slaughtered. It is already a rare thing that they can still shout out a few slogans.
Wu Tianzong, a man with a "silent heart and a Buddha's mouth", was originally a Mingwang warrior monk of Zhiku Temple. His Buddhist name was "Liaojie". He cultivated the body of the Immovable Mingwang and his spiritual power was extremely strong and masculine. That was why he had the power to cut off Lingxi's head with one palm just now.
——The "Vajra Subduing Demon Mantra" that Liu Yuan often uses is actually from the same origin as Wu Tianzong's.
"Of course I have to pay it back!"
Wu Tianzong laughed loudly and moved the rosary hanging on the palm of his hand. Golden light shone all over his body and the tattered cassock he was wearing flew away as his spiritual energy boiled.
He took a step forward and stomped on the ground with a bang. The spider-web-like pattern suddenly split open, causing the surrounding buildings to collapse one after another, making him look like an angry Buddha.
"Hiss..." The gorgeous spotted giant snake on his shoulder opened its mouth and spit out a pile of white bones in an instant!
Wu Tianzong grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and his bright and upright appearance of skill suddenly became a little weird.
"Thank you for your hospitality. Isn't this just returning your brother to you?"
The rebellious monk grabbed the skeleton and pulled it out from the snake's belly. He exerted force like a whip and broke the entire skeleton into pieces. He then stimulated the spiritual power and sent it out. With the sound of breaking through the wind, he arrived in front of the Yuxu disciples in the blink of an eye.
"Ah!" These disciples were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground. They were pressured by the mighty power, but more importantly, they were shocked by the evil means. Seeing that their senior brother was dead and was being used as a "weapon" to kill them, they almost collapsed on the spot.
At this moment, a clear shout rang out: "Stop being so rampant, evil spirits!"
The long sword suddenly flew over, blocked the white bones, and stabbed straight at Wu Tianzong's face. The latter's face changed, and he raised his hand to block his cheek with a low shout. The back of his hand was as hard as iron against the tip of the sword, but he was still forced back several feet by the vast spiritual power.
The Yuxu disciples were overjoyed and shouted, "Palace Master!"
The person who came was the Lord of Cangming Palace. He rolled up his long sleeves and summoned the long sword again, rolling it into his hand. He looked at Wu Tianzong coldly and said, "How dare you be so presumptuous, you abandoned disciple of Zhiku?"
Wu Tianzong smiled and reached out to soothe the restless giant snake on his shoulder: "Zhi Chunqiu, I haven't seen you for hundreds of years, and you are still as righteous as ever."
The Yuxu disciples did not realize that the two were old acquaintances, but considering that Wu Tianzong was probably also a prodigy of Zhiku Temple before he betrayed the sect, it was not surprising.
The Lord of Cangming Palace said coldly: "I haven't seen you for hundreds of years. You are almost becoming neither human nor ghost. Adu Ru, Xu Xinhong, come out. Aren't you waiting for me?"
"Hehe... Palace Master Cangming lives up to his reputation. He can even wipe out the corpse of his own disciple with a single sword. It shows that he is truly spotless." A black-haired beauty wearing the red gauze clothing commonly seen in Beifu, revealing her slender waist, walked out with a sweet giggle. She had a pair of bare snow-white feet and a pitch-black scorpion tail dangling from her back, with the curved hook at the tip flashing a cold edge.
The traitor of Beifu Jile Sect, the scorpion monster Aduru.
"Greetings, Palace Master." Xu Xinhong bowed. He had an average appearance, but his eyebrows and eyes were clear and he had a scholarly air. It was hard to imagine that this man was the Yuxu traitor who had poisoned tens of thousands of people.
The three people sent by the Demon Cult this time all happened to be defectors from other sects. I don’t know if they can be considered the “traitor trio”.
The Lord of Cangming Palace did not change his expression, and said: "When Lingxi was my disciple, I loved him, taught him, and answered his questions. But when his bones were used by you evil spirits, these bones became an instrument that helped the evildoers to commit atrocities. There is no right or wrong in instruments. It is you who are wrong. I am clearing away your sins, not my disciples'."
Adu Ru licked his lips and smiled, "Just listening to what the Palace Master said, I know I won't kill the wrong person today."
The Lord of Cangming Palace looked around and raised his sword: "Is this your countermeasure? Knowing that you alone cannot cause much damage to Yuxu Dao Sect in a sneak attack, you want to maximize the benefits and lure me here to solve it alone?"
"That's right." Xu Xinhong nodded and said in a gentle and elegant manner: "It is more cost-effective to seriously injure a Cangming Palace Master than to kill ten thousand Yuxu disciples."
He looked around. Because the second layer of the Yuxu Mountain protective formation suddenly failed, they had already entered the second layer. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be the limit. The appearance of Palace Master Cangming meant that the Yuxu Taoist sect was finally ready to fight back.
Just because of an order from the Saint, a few of them, who were considered elite elders in the Demon Cult, came here to die without any regrets.
He sighed lightly. Being able to smash the rankings of the successive hall masters enshrined in the Red Fire Hall with his own hands, Xu Xinhong's obsession in this life was gone. Only an empty shell was left. Let him die.
When Palace Master Cangming heard the sigh, he was slightly stunned and felt foreboding. Then, without any warning, Xu Xinhong smiled slightly, and his whole body suddenly swelled and exploded. The bloody poisonous mist spread out in an instant, and the first few Yuxu disciples who came into contact with it melted into a pool of blood.
The face of Palace Master Cangming changed drastically, and he shouted: "Retreat, retreat, retreat! Everyone retreat!"
【Maple Leaves Dye the River】
Palace Master Cangming activated his spiritual power to gather the poisonous fog that was spreading instantly and locked it firmly within the range of his spiritual power. However, this horrific poison could even corrode his spiritual power. His face turned pale and his fingers trembled, and he was unable to make a decision for a moment.
If we conserve our strength and leave now, choosing to directly block the second layer, then the ones who lose their lives are only the disciples with low cultivation levels in the second layer. After the formation is repaired, it will be very convenient to clean up.
If he took action, risking serious injuries to control the poisonous fog directly, there would naturally be no other sacrifices. However, now is the critical time for the Yuxu Dao Sect to compete for the position of the headmaster. It was not easy to finally suppress Ling Yao to this point. The Lord of Cangming Palace was extremely reluctant to be seriously injured and lose his dignity at this time...
A figure wearing the robes of a true disciple suddenly flew forward: "Seal the Soul!"
The flying black hair swept across the pretty and delicate face. It was Lingyu, the fifth junior sister of Danqing Palace, who once had a relationship with Liu Yuan.
The blood-colored poisonous fog was swirling and was temporarily suppressed by Lingyu. She was clearly only at the Jindan stage, but she absorbed all of the poisonous fog.
Lingyu is pure and flawless, and can ward off evil and misfortune.
The Lord of Cangming Palace turned around and looked at the two "scorpions", his eyes wide open, hiding a hint of joy, the long sword in his hand flew out, and he shouted angrily: "Death, you evil demons!"
Chapter 285: The envoy from Zhanhai Tower has arrived!
"Death to the evil spirits!"
In a flash, the sword in the hand of Palace Master Cangming cut through the smoke and dust, carrying great power, and spiritual power attacked the two snakes and scorpions like a tide.
In this sword light, it seemed to encompass the world, spanning time and years, condensing into a sword mark, passing through the air, causing the surrounding grass and trees to wither instantly, and quickly expanded to a radius of hundreds of miles, cutting off all life in an instant.
"Whoosh!"
As the Lord of Cangming Palace drew his sword, he looked at Wu Tianzong and Aduru with a gaze as sharp as lightning, full of murderous intent. His spiritual energy surged, and he was full of vigor and momentum. He whispered:
"A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, a hundred generations have changed the world.
When there is loneliness in the world, the cup will be filled with white dew. "
"Oh no, it's the twenty-four swords!" Wu Tianzong's face suddenly changed. He couldn't form the Vajra Seal with his hands. His bronze skin suddenly glowed with dazzling golden light. He looked as if he was made of iron or copper. His eyes were wide open like an angry Vajra. However, the dark evil light in his eyes caused by the magic cult's skills distorted his Buddha nature.
The golden light emanating from his body gathered in mid-air to form a barrier, as solid as a rock, blocking all the sharp sword energy that swept over, leaving only traces of sword marks.
But even so, he still couldn't stop the sword of Palace Master Cangming.
The meaning of time and years permeated and engraved on the sword mark, instantly disintegrating the Acalanatha Seal and creating cracks.
Wu Tianzong's face became even uglier, but the giant snake on his shoulder was not simple either. It was a living poison refined by the Poison Sect of the Demon Cult. It was nourished by flesh and blood. The more people it ate, the stronger its toxicity became. At this moment, Wu Tianzong grabbed it and threw it towards Palace Master Cangming.
"Hiss!" The giant snake opened its mouth and a thick, black poison arrow shot out from its white fangs.
At the same time, the "Scorpion Beauty" Aduru finally made a move. With a charming laugh, she took out a rosewood pipa decorated with mother-of-pearl patterns, plucked the five strings, and a clanging sound rang out.
The beauty twisted her waist slightly, and the scorpion's tail clicked in coordination. The crackling sound carried a strange and powerful demonic nature, enough to make those with insufficient cultivation bleed from all seven orifices instantly, and their facial features explode, causing them to die.
The Lord of Cangming Palace sneered: "Isn't it too stupid to use such a petty trick to deal with the people of Yuxu?"
The Yuxu Taoist martial arts is called "Shangqing Tianyan Heart Calming Treasure Record", which emphasizes calming the mind the most. This kind of mind-disturbing musical attack, apart from slightly stirring up the blood, is like a punch on cotton. There is no feedback at all, and it is a complete waste of effort.
He drew out his sword again, the tip of the sword was sharp, completely different from the sword intent that was as gentle as spring breeze and rain just now. It was like a strong wind in the cold winter, which suddenly came and broke through the air with a whoosh sound, instantly shattering the sound of Aduru's pipa!
"Puff!" Aduru vomited blood, flew backwards, and rolled three times on the ground, but a fierce smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Her body flipped over, and the moment she landed on the ground, she twisted her waist, swung her scorpion tail, and a long dark blue needle shot out quietly.
At this moment, Palace Master Cangming was silently reciting the protective spell "Clear Wind and Bright Moon" to dissolve the poisonous arrow, but he was caught off guard and the poisonous needle, which had gathered all of Adu Ru's strength, broke through his protective spiritual energy and pierced into his shoulder.
His face suddenly changed, he covered the wound on his shoulder, and immediately used his spiritual power to search, but found that the poison needle had disappeared without a trace.
After Aduru shot the poison needle, he fell to the ground, no longer able to fight. Seeing his ugly expression, she laughed and mocked him, "Hahahaha... who is the idiot? When we came to deal with you, we naturally studied your character. Your stubbornness is your biggest weakness!"
The Lord of Cangming Palace stared at her coldly. They only wanted a momentary flaw in the battle and risked everything. These were the crazy people of the Demon Cult! Yet they succeeded!
The spiritual energy in his body had begun to become chaotic, and his body had begun to become paralyzed. Although it was definitely much weaker than the poisonous mist that Xu Xinhong had transformed his body into, it should not be underestimated.
Wu Tianzong laughed loudly: "Hahaha, good, Zhi Chunqiu, you have been poisoned by the Mysterious Marrow Devouring Poison. You have weakened the Yuxu Dao Sect. The three of us will die without regrets. The Holy Religion should prosper! The Holy Religion should prosper, hahahaha... um!"
He was halfway through laughing when he was stabbed in the chest by the master of Cangming Palace with another sword. In an instant, his physical strength was broken, the golden light dimmed, and his skin instantly became loose. Then his face became old, his body became haggard, and he gradually aged. He struggled weakly, but in the end he could only stare at the sky helplessly before he died.
"Pah." The abandoned disciple of Zhiku Temple fell to the ground and died, and Aduru had already died.
Palace Master Cangming snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and turned the bodies of the two men into ashes. Suddenly, his face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blue blood.
"Xuanming Devouring Marrow..." His face was uncertain. He sat down to meditate and at the same time called the disciples in the hall to come over.
The surroundings were in a mess, with traces of fighting everywhere.
The second level of Yuxu Mountain had almost been reduced to ruins under the fierce attack of the Demon Cult. A large number of disciples were held hostage by the Demon Cult and used as a threat to restrict the Yuxu Taoist sect's actions, which ultimately caused the matter to be delayed for a long time.
However, although the three masters in the fusion stage of a mere branch of the Demon Sect are powerful, they are not enough to force the Yuxu Taoist Sect into this situation. Most of the reason for this is actually a delaying tactic made by the Three Halls of Yuxu to buy time.
Originally, they naturally hoped that the matter would be resolved as soon as possible. After all, the wanted Ling Yao and the "demon monster" Liu Yuan, and continuing with the preaching and stele rubbing ceremony were the top priorities.
However, ever since the second-level formation failed for some unknown reason, the seven major sects collectively impeached it, and the Qingfengfang came to investigate. After a series of events, the Yuxu Taoist sect had no choice but to get involved in a "fight" with the Demon Sect and was unable to extricate itself.
But even so, the people from those sects actually said that we all share the same righteous principles. We cannot just sit back and watch. We must set off immediately and send people to help!
Those people from various major sects who came to "help" just arrived at Yuxu Mountain yesterday and were settled down, but it seemed like they were just there to watch the joke and didn't help at all.
——Of course they knew very well that the Yuxu Taoist sect was reluctant to take action because they had something to hide.
This time, Palace Master Cangming finally decided to take action, with the purpose of "mutually suffering losses" with these three people, trying to delay for a while. However, who would have thought that these people from the Demon Cult suddenly became extremely determined and launched a suicide attack. Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also got himself into trouble.
Now that these three people are dead, the tension between Yuxu Dao Sect and the Demon Sect has disappeared, and they will have to face the doubts of those sects about the Ling Yao matter...
Palace Master Cangming frowned, feeling extremely angry. He heard a voice in his ears and opened his eyes suddenly. A crowd of people had gathered in front of him.
In order to heal his wounds and suppress the spread of the poison, he did not use his spiritual sense to investigate, so he only realized at this moment that these people had been here for a long time.
But then the Lord of Cangming Palace was stunned, because not only were there people from Cangming Palace, but people from other palaces were also there. The unconscious Lingyu was being helped up by the old man Sheng'e to heal his injuries. In addition, there were even people from other sects!
The Wuque Family, the Xuanyin Family, the Taiqing Pavilion, the Jiange, the Xinjian Sect, the Acacia Sect, and the Gujiu Peak, at first glance, it was as lively as the battle at Ghost Crying Gorge when the Demon Sect was being suppressed. It was so lively that no one knew when they all gathered on the second level of Yuxu Mountain.
Palace Master Cangming was stunned again. Aren’t the people from these sects all accommodated in the guest rooms on the top of Yuxu Mountain? Why did they all come down?
"Palace Master, you are awake!"
Someone nearby shouted, and then a large group of people gathered around, asking about Palace Master Cangming's health, his injuries, and praising him highly.
He held back the turbulent blood and felt an unusual tightness in his chest. He raised his hand to silence them and asked, "What happened? Why are you all coming down?"
The person next to him was his disciple, who had been hesitant to speak just now, and immediately said: "Palace Master, Zhan Hailou suddenly said that he would send an envoy! And, and he has already arrived!"
"Zhan Hailou?" Palace Master Cangming suspected that he was too deeply poisoned and had problems with his ears.
The bustling crowds of people from various sects suddenly parted, and a hunched figure in a black cloak holding a cane in his hand, with his exposed hand covered with silver-blue scales, appeared there at some point, emitting a terrifying aura that horrified everyone.
The Lord of Cangming Palace didn't care about his injuries, he stood up suddenly, his pupils constricted: "Crossing Tribulation Stage???!!!"
