Chapter 136 The Advantage is in Me [5K]
Having decided to take action, Ye Linyuan locked himself in the spiritual eye of the cave.
He stayed here alone, looking at the chess game and constantly reviewing the current situation, and then constantly deducing it by combining divination and known information, and finally he took a deep breath slowly.
"The information obtained by divination alone is not comprehensive enough after all. Moreover, I cannot get all the information when it comes to the layout of the Jindan level forces."
"It seems that if there is a chance in the future, I still need to try my best to practice stargazing."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and after calculating his own fortune for the last time, he put the chess game away.
After walking out of the retreat room, Ye Linyuan first came to the Bright Moon Sea, found Bright Moon Shell who was practicing there and said, "During my absence, I'll have to rely on you to take care of the family."
"Master, don't you need my help?"
Ye Linyuan shook his head, and then said: "The family needs someone to stay behind, and as long as you stay in the Qinghe Islands, the Qinghe Immortal Sect will definitely not dare to send out all its forces."
Jiaoyuebei seemed to understand something, and said, "Master, don't worry. With Jiaoyuebei staying here in person, I can hold out for a while even if someone from the late foundation building stage comes."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan nodded slightly and stopped talking.
He did not waste any time and took Shui Hanqing, Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi and others with him, leaving the Xinghu Islands and heading straight for the Jinpeng Sea.
"..."
"Are you leaving now?"
At the same time, far away in the Qinghe Fairy Island, the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane, which had been dormant for a long time, slowly stood up, and a hint of coldness flashed in its eyes.
Beside it, Taoist Yu had a serious expression on his face and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Master, this man knew there was danger, but he still dared to charge into the Jinpeng Islands. Does he have any other cards up his sleeve?"
"He has no other choice. This is our last chance."
Jiuqu Linghe opened his mouth slowly, his eyes could not help but be cold as he said: "No matter what, we must take this opportunity to end it."
Taoist Yu was silent for a moment, then he spoke again: "Jiaoyuebei didn't go out with him, so we must leave someone to defend. Let Senior Brother Xuanyu stay this time."
"No."
Jiuqu Linghe spoke decisively, and then said with a cold look: "If you and I both leave, and something unexpected happens during this battle, won't that traitor Su Shaoyu be able to come back openly?"
“Let Xuan Yu go with me in this battle. He is at least in the middle stage of foundation building. Even if his cultivation level has dropped, if he ignores his injuries and fights with all his strength, he can temporarily be comparable to someone in the middle stage of foundation building.”
Having said this, Jiuqu Linghe made a prompt decision and called over Taoist Xuanyu who was recovering from his injuries.
After more than ten years, Taoist Xuanyu's injuries have barely recovered by half, and there is still a blood curse on his body that is like a bone-eating maggot. His normal combat power is only comparable to that of an ordinary early foundation-building person.
Of course, if he gave up suppressing his injuries, he would still be able to temporarily recover his strength to the middle stage of foundation building, but the recovery time would be very short, and his injuries would continue to worsen, and he might even be in danger of dying.
"I've met my uncle."
At this moment, seeing the Nine-bend Spirit Crane summoning him over, a trace of sadness appeared in the depths of Taoist Xuanyu's pupils.
He knew the purpose of Jiuqu Linghe summoning him here, and understood that Jiuqu Linghe did not trust him and wanted him to make up for the debt his lineage owed to Qinghe Xianmen.
"Do you know why I called you here?"
The Nine-bend Spirit Crane opened its mouth slowly, with a hint of awe in its pupils.
The Taoist Xuanyu nodded, and then he bowed and said, "Xuanyu understands. In this battle, Xuanyu must fight with all his strength."
"Okay, remember what you said."
The Nine-Curved Spirit Crane had a scorching gaze, and finally it flew across the sky with Taoist Xuanyu and fled towards the Jinpeng Islands.
Far away across the vast ocean, Su Shaoyu looked at the letter in front of him, his eyes showing hesitation, guilt, struggle, and a hint of anger, which were ultimately all covered by a hint of cold murderous intent.
"..."
The Jinpeng Islands are located on the outskirts of the Black Dragon Demon Territory.
This is a shallow sea archipelago with a radius of only about a thousand miles, and there are less than a hundred islands of various sizes on it.
In terms of overall strength, whether it is the number of low-level demons or the number of high-level demons, this place is far inferior to the Heikui Islands.
However, there is a small second-grade inferior spiritual vein here, which attracted the Jinpeng clan to live here.
The Golden Peng clan here has extraordinary blood. It is said that the source of their blood is the Golden-winged Peng, one of the ancient true spirits of heaven and earth.
Since the destruction of the ancient times, the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc clan has almost become extinct, and the bloodline of the Golden Roc here has become extremely mixed.
Even so, the strength of the Jinpeng clan is also very strong. This lineage is a demon clan that is very good at fighting. Its combat power is quite strong among the same level, so it possesses extremely strong strength.
Fortunately, the number of Golden Pengs here is very small, with only nearly a hundred Golden Peng birds in total, and only two of them have reached the foundation-building stage.
"They planted the Sword Intent Grass in the core spiritual eye of the Jinpeng Islands, waiting for us to kill them."
Looking at the Golden Wing Islands, Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, then looked at Shui Hanqing and said, "Leave those foundation-building enemies to us, you lead the golden-backed giant ape and the golden monkey Taoist soldiers to kill them."
Shui Hanqing nodded. The fighting power of the golden-backed giant ape was almost comparable to that of a nearby genius. Although there were only seventy-two golden monkey Taoist soldiers, each of them was a Taoist soldier in the late stage of Qi training, and they were fully equipped and had strong fighting power.
With the help of these spiritual beasts, it should be enough to deal with the Golden Peng clan.
Thinking of this, Shui Hanqing said, "The number of the Golden Peng clan is small. With the help of the Golden Back Giant Ape and the Golden Monkey Taoist Soldiers, it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with them."
Ye Linyuan nodded and handed the spirit beast bag containing the golden-backed giant ape and the golden monkey Taoist soldier to Shui Hanqing.
This is a large second-level spirit beast bag, which cost Ye Linyuan more than 800 spirit stones and can hold nearly a hundred golden monkeys at a time.
After dealing with this matter, Ye Linyuan took off into the air alone and was the first to charge into the Jinpeng Islands.
The moment he entered the place, Ye Linyuan immediately raised his sword and slashed towards Jinpeng Island. He said calmly, "Demon, hand over the Sword Intention Grass."
"Wow—"
In an instant, the sound of breaking air was heard from the Jinpeng Islands.
Two golden rocs broke through the air, one of them instantly blocked the flying sword, and the other one slashed towards Ye Linyuan with dazzling golden light.
"So fast."
Ye Linyuan frowned slightly and moved sideways to avoid the attack that Jin Peng was sure to hit him.
But in just a moment, the golden roc suddenly turned back and turned into a golden sword light that slashed towards Ye Linyuan's back.
"Golden Peng Sword Slash?"
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan sneered.
It turned out that Jin Peng's move of charging forward was fake, and the real one was a feint and a sneak attack with blood magic.
If an ordinary, newly-promoted foundation-building cultivator had no knowledge of the Golden Peng clan, he would probably suffer a great loss from this sneak attack, or even be in danger of dying if he was completely unprepared.
But Ye Linyuan had wiped out the entire Jinpeng clan at the Jindan level in his previous life, so he would naturally not be completely defenseless against this kind of bloodline magic.
But he was seen standing there motionless, while a bright moon in his palm rose into the sky, transforming into a domineering aura that shook away the golden sword light, forcing the Golden Peng monster to return to its original form.
Then, a bright moon rose into the sky and transformed into a mighty moon across the sky, manifesting three thousand moonlight swords that whizzed down.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
The two golden rocs did not dare to delay at all. They quickly spread their golden wings, transformed into countless golden feather blades that slashed across the sky, and engaged in a fierce collision with the Three Thousand Moonlight Swords.
Logically speaking, if they are both in the initial stage of foundation building, the water-based cultivators are often relatively weak and it is impossible for them to suppress the golden feather blades of the two golden rocs.
But at this time, the Moonlight Sword was extremely solid, constantly transforming into moonlight sword light and slashing down, forcibly cutting those golden blade beams into pieces.
"You two alone are no match for me."
"Who else is hiding in the dark? Come out and fight me, otherwise..."
Seeing that the two golden rocs were suppressed, Ye Linyuan stood calmly above the sky, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed down loudly.
In an instant, the light of the Nine Sky Moon surged, and once again manifested into three thousand moonlight swords, slashing down like an endless rain. "They will be destroyed one by one by me."
"Chong-"
In an instant, four streams of light flew in from the sky again.
The leader was wearing a yellow robe. He casually offered an ancient stone seal, which instantly grew in the wind and turned into a small mountain, smashing towards Ye Linyuan. Ye Linyuan waved his sleeves and flew into the air. With a solemn look on his face, he activated the Nine Sky Bright Moon, which manifested a hundred-foot-long moonlight giant sword and slashed down, colliding with the stone seal.
"The Meng family, it is you indeed,"
After one move, Ye Linyuan retreated hundreds of feet into the sky, then looked at the person who came with a serious expression.
It turned out that the four newcomers were none other than the Meng family's patriarch, the great elder, and the three foundation-building cultivators Meng Changfeng. The last one, who was wearing a purple robe, was the Taoist Zi Yu who had newly advanced to the foundation-building stage in recent years.
"You are really capable of blocking my mid-grade spiritual weapon."
The one who made the move was the head of the Meng family. He looked at Ye Linyuan and sneered, "It seems that you have already guessed that we were going to make a move, but you still have confidence. I guess you have something to rely on."
Ye Linyuan did not answer, but looked behind him with a serious expression.
Then, Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi instantly flew into the air and rushed towards the center of the battlefield.
"Two great geniuses of the highest dao foundation, you really did allow them to break through in secret."
Patriarch Meng laughed loudly, then stroked his long beard, looked into the depths of the void and said, "My two fellow Taoists, it's time to take action."
At the same time, two figures flew in from the depths of the sky, they were the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane and the Black-Feathered Taoist.
Seeing the newcomer, Patriarch Meng burst into laughter, and couldn't help but stroke his beard and said happily: "We have long guessed that you might secretly arrange for them to break through, so we specially contacted Taoist Zi Yu for help."
"It's eight to three now. I have the advantage. What can you use to fight us?"
At this moment, eight powerful foundation-building masters appeared and surrounded Ye Linyuan and the other two tightly in the center. For a moment, the balance of the situation between the two sides seemed to be in an absolute tilt.
But Ye Linyuan remained calm throughout, without showing any sign of shock.
Meng Changfeng couldn't help himself and said sarcastically, "I guess you are waiting for Minghuang Jianzi, but I'm afraid he can't come."
"With Fairy Luoxia personally inviting him to discuss the Dao, he probably won't have the slightest chance to make a move."
When Ye Linyuan heard this, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.
Fairy Luoxia is the second direct descendant of the Chixia Sect. Her cultivation has reached the perfection level of the middle stage of foundation building, which is not much inferior to Minghuang Jianzi.
Seeing that Ye Linyuan had a calm expression, the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane could not help but say, "Everyone, if we delay, something bad may happen. Let's kill him first."
"it is good!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone present instantly used all kinds of magical powers to attack Ye Linyuan.
As soon as the battle started, Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi flew out instantly and entangled two golden roc monsters in the foundation-building stage.
The remaining six people ignored them and attacked Ye Linyuan one after another, but Ye Linyuan instantly split into dozens of phantoms and avoided the opponent's continuous attacks.
"Minghe Gongying, this technique has actually been mastered by him?"
Seeing Ye Linyuan use this move, Meng Changfeng was immediately shocked and angry and said: "Everyone, this boy is extremely talented. If we let him go today, he will sooner or later become a serious threat to us."
"I will never let him go back alive."
The leader of the Meng clan roared and directly activated the middle-grade spiritual weapon to suppress Ye Linyuan.
The other people also used their own methods and worked together to continuously compress Ye Linyuan's space.
Facing the attacks from everyone, Ye Linyuan fought and retreated, trying to delay everything, and paid a little attention to the Jinpeng Islands. It seemed that he was ready to escape at all costs if Shui Hanqing got in his way.
At this time, Shui Hanqing made a full-scale attack, leading the golden-backed giant ape and seventy-two golden monkey Taoist soldiers to continuously attack. Soon, the Jinpeng clan was defeated and was about to reach the core spiritual vein of Jinpeng Island.
But at this moment, bright moonlight suddenly came from the sky, a gorgeous moon rose across the sky, and then a dazzling fairy in the moon fell, blocking Shui Hanqing in front of him with a pressure that suppressed everything.
"I'm afraid you can't take this Sword Intent Grass away."
The person who came was Xuanling Sanren. He was like an immortal returning on the moon, looking at Shui Hanqing calmly.
Having said this, Xuanling Sanren looked at Ye Linyuan and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, when you took away my Bright Moon Pearl, have you ever thought that your Taoist partner's Sword Will Grass would also be taken away by me?"
"Is it?"
Ye Linyuan summoned the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag to temporarily block the attacks of the crowd, and then said calmly: "Su Shaoyu, if you don't take action now, how long are you going to wait?"
"Om-"
In an instant, the sea trembled, and a huge sky whale rose into the sky and blocked Xuanling Sanren's way.
Su Shaoyu stopped in front of Xuan Ling San Ren, looked at him calmly and said, "Let her go?"
"You want to stop me?"
Xuan Ling San Ren's pupils slightly chilled, and he understood in an instant, then nodded and said: "Yes, if she fails to build her foundation, how can you complete your foundation?"
Although he understood this, Xuanling Sanren had no intention of giving way. The Sword Intent Herb was the treasure of their Luoxia Sect. Why should he give it to Shui Hanqing to refine just because of a mere Su Shaoyu?
"Rebel!"
Seeing Su Shaoyu appear, Xuanyu Sanren immediately showed a look of anger and almost couldn't help but attack Su Shaoyu.
But at this moment, Jiuqu Linghe stopped Xuanling Sanren and said, "The key is to kill Ye Linyuan first. As long as Ye Linyuan is killed, Shui Hanqing will not be able to escape."
"Is it?"
Ye Linyuan sneered instantly, then waved his sleeves and summoned the Xuanyuan Water Controlling Flag, completely covering the area of a thousand feet in radius.
Seeing this scene, the elder of the Meng family couldn't help but said with a slightly changed expression: "Large-scale formation."
The six foundation-building masters stood outside the formation, looking at Ye Linyuan in the formation, each of them revealing a hint of fear.
A large-scale second-order formation, even if it is only a water-attributed formation, is extremely dangerous for a foundation-building cultivator, and is enough to make Ye Linyuan invincible.
Seeing that everyone was retreating, Meng Changfeng immediately said, "This person has just established his foundation for more than ten years. Even if he takes Xuanyuan Pills every day to practice, he can only have 20 to 30 mana at most. How long can he maintain this formation?"
"As long as we charge in, we will definitely be able to break the formation and kill him."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.
In the end, the patriarch of the Meng family set an example and was the first to charge into the Xuanyuan Water Control Array. Seeing this, Jiuqu Linghe and Xuanyu Sanren also rushed into the formation.
Taoist Zi Yu, Meng Changfeng, and the great elder of the Meng family all rushed towards the formation.
"interesting."
As soon as they entered the formation, they immediately realized that something was wrong.
Because after they entered the formation, they found that Ye Linyuan was standing in the center of the formation. The infinite water element power around him turned into a circling water dragon, and in Ye Linyuan's palm, a ball of bright red blood was floating.
The man in snow-white clothes had his hands behind his back, a ball of blood swirling in his palms. Another blood curse rose into the air and finally turned into a blood-red ancient character - 傷!
"Everyone, now that we have entered the battle, this battle should be over."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and in an instant the blood merged with the ancient curse with the character [傷], turning into an extremely terrifying blood curse that flew into the sky and landed between the eyebrows of Taoist Xuanyu.
The moment he saw the ancient characters, Taoist Xuanyu's expression suddenly changed drastically. He immediately looked at Jiuqu Linghe in great fear and said, "Uncle Master, run away quickly..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and fell straight into the vast ocean.
"Xuan Yu——"
The Nine-Curved Spirit Crane let out an incredible roar as it recalled the life of Taoist Xuanyu over the years.
This was the child he watched grow up, from the wasted time in the Qi training stage to the joy of cultivating to the foundation building stage, to the anger when his son betrayed the sect, and now to the powerlessness he felt as his son fell in front of him.
Jiuqu Linghe's eyes were red, and he caught Xuanyu Taoist tremblingly, muttering in pain: "Child, you didn't do anything wrong."
"Uncle Master shouldn't have taken his anger out on you."
"what--"
Just as everyone was shocked by the death of Taoist Xuanyu, a painful howl came from the distant void.
They looked back and saw that half of the body of the Meng clan elder had been cut off. He looked at Taoist Zi Yu with despair and anger and said, "Taoist Zi Yu, you dare to betray the covenant?"
