Clang!
Blade Light flashed past, blood splattered everywhere.
Wu Ba There was a bloody wound on his chest.
But he has entered a violent state.
The hair on his body stood up, his eyes were blood red, his fangs were missing, and his face was ferocious. He didn't care about the wound on his chest and swung his arms vigorously.
The wind howled and the ax fell.
In front of him was One-Eyed Taoist holding a pair of swords.
The ax directly split it open.
However, it was just an afterimage.
One-Eyed Taoist has appeared on the other side, as fast as light and shadow, covered in black smoke, flying up and down, heading straight for Wang Dao Xuan.
Bang!
Sha LiFei fired quickly.
The fire exploded and smoke filled the air.
But the Daoist's escape method was astonishingly fast, black smoke exploded, and the Sha LiFei musket missed everything.
"What a coward, are you a rabbit?!"
Sha LiFei cursed angrily and quickly changed the magazine.
The limitations of firearms are completely exposed.
Two of the three loose immortals from Wushan entered the cave, and the remaining one left the valley to cause trouble for them.
He can suppress everyone with just his own strength.
Black smoke flashed past, and the other party appeared in front of the altar.
Wang Dao Xuan has opened the altar and controlled Five Directions Fengdu Banner. The surrounding wind is howling, and the frost and black smoke are coming, trying to trap this person.
Unfortunately, Wang Dao Xuan is not the real owner of "Five Directions Fengdu Banner" after all. In addition, it is still daytime, so Five Camps of Soldiers and Horses's power is obviously weakened.
"Hahaha..."
The Daoist laughed wildly, and the two swords clashed with each other.
Clang!
As the dragon roared, Gang Qi surged. It was invisible Qi, but under the influence of the sound, it turned into ripples visible to the naked eye and spread outward.
The Yin soldiers who rushed towards him were forcefully forced back.
Boom, boom, boom!
At the same time, a dull drum beat sounded.
But it was Old Woman Bai Huan, with a group of Bai family women, who had all danced to Nuo Dance, wearing Nuo masks on their heads, beating tambourines, and staring at him.
This is a witchcraft. Although some of the Bai family's spells for praying for blessings and rain cannot be used after leaving Wushan, the witchcraft Gu Arts is not affected.
The sound of the curse was far away, and One-Eyed Taoist suddenly felt dizzy in his mind.
At this moment, Wang Dao Xuan, who was presiding over the altar, suddenly took out a short fire blunderbuss from under his robe and pulled the trigger directly.
Wang Dao Xuan This firearm is rarely used.
It is mainly used for self-defense at critical moments when the enemy is close to the altar.
He was not very accurate, so he used shotguns.
Boom!
There was a loud noise and smoke dispersed.
No matter how fast One-Eyed Taoist flashed, he was still hit on the shoulder by the broken lead shot, and blood immediately flowed out.
At the same time, Sha LiFei and Wu Ba also rushed over.
Phew!
The Daoist turned around, and black smoke billowed and roared away.
When we reappeared, we were already on the hillside on the right side of the valley.
"You are really looking for death!"
One-Eyed Taoist looked over his shoulder, and murderous intent rose in his eyes.
Wang MengSheng was thoughtful and gave him the task of controlling the people in front of him and using them as blackmail chips.
Add "Wish-Fulfilling Pearl" and it's almost foolproof.
But God's calculations are not as good as those of man.
Wang MengSheng didn't count, Li Yan is not an ordinary Living Underworld Messenger.
One-Eyed Taoist also didn't expect that these people in front of him would join forces, use dark soldiers, firearms, witchcraft... to block him.
If this spreads out, people will definitely laugh their heads off...
Thinking of this, One-Eyed Taoist murderous intent rose, he inserted the knife on the ground with his right hand, bit his fingertips at the same time, made Entering the Taboo and drew the talisman on the knife in his left hand.
In an instant, Yin Wind roared all over the Daoist, and the Yin Energy visible to the naked eye turned into black smoke, swirling and gathering towards the blade.
"Be careful, it's Tongtian Sect Soul Severing Technique!"
Old Woman Bai Huan looked solemn immediately when he saw it.
Others are also wary.
The reputation of the Tongtian Sect is no less than that of the Yin Mountain Sect.
It is popular in Yuzhou and Southwest China, and there are many taboos in the family. You can't eat some meat, and you can't walk under spider webs, which is very troublesome.
But the power of its magic is equally astonishing.
There are many evil Strange Art methods in the door, specifically attacking Divine Soul, such as Thousand Catty Press, Root Fixing Technique, Soul Tethering Technique, Soul Capturing Technique, Soul Hanging Technique, Soul Bewitching Technique, Soul Searching Technique, Soul Severing Technique, etc.
They belong to the Dharma lineage but are not bound by the imperial court.
Some time ago, in the battle between Dujiangyan and the Orthodox Church, many people from the Tongtian Fa Sect were the main force.
There is a saying in Xuanmen Jianghu, "I would rather recruit Shaolin Wudang than provoke Tongtian Yinshan", which shows his fierce reputation.
Especially "Soul Severing Technique" has an extremely famous reputation. There is a folk story of <Investiture of the Gods>, and "Immortal Slaying Flying Knife" is based on this.
As it Soul Severing Technique was used, the knife in the left hand was also covered with a layer of white frost, murderous intent was awe-inspiring, and billowing black smoke overflowed.
He smiled coldly and looked at the people below.
As his gaze moved, the person he saw suddenly felt a chill on his back, and his eyes went black, giving him a feeling of impending disaster.
But soon, One-Eyed Taoist also suddenly felt a chill on his back.
I saw Sha LiFei on the hillside behind them, a person suddenly emerged. It was the liaison person of the "Yellow Spring" organization, Fengdu head hunter Meng ChangGui.
At this moment, he was once again wearing a black robe, and he still looked as useless as when he was in the county government. His eyes were cold, holding a ultimatum in his hand, and shouted, "Heaven has rules, earth has rules, the underworld restrains the soul, and the yang avoids it!"
This is the backhand of Li Yan.
With Fengdu County's backing, and having already joined the "Yellow Spring" organization halfway, and dealing with Returning Yang One and Earth Immortals, how could Li Yan not call for help?
Before he set off, he had secretly informed Meng ChangGui.
"Ah--!"
One-Eyed Taoist made a strange roar, turned around and ran away.
However, Meng ChangGui recited this incantation instead of casting Celestial Decree, indicating that he had seen him and accepted the task.
Yin Wind At first, darkness spread quickly.
One-Eyed Taoist's escape method was indeed amazing, but before he could run very far, a large area of darkness surged into the ground beneath him, as if light was being swallowed up.
Accompanied by the sound of chains and screams, the darkness quickly dissipated, leaving only a hoarfrost-covered corpse on the ground.
"I'm going to strangle my mother, so you're here!"
Sha LiFei breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly said dissatisfied, "Didn't we agree that we would just follow behind and attack people when we see them? Where did you go?"
"I'm sorry, everyone."
Meng ChangGui looked apologetic and looked serious at the same time, "People from the Salt Gang have come to Fengdu, along with Shu King Residence and a navy..."
"Yi Divination Cave" is located at Fuling.
It is on the Yangtze River North Bank, facing Fuling City across the river.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, Cheng Yi annotated "Yi" here for six years and wrote "Yi Zhuan", a representative work of Neo-Confucianism. This is where Cheng's Neo-Confucianism originated.
It is not only a holy place for Confucianism, but also a place that students of Yi yearn for.
This mountain is occupied by "Yi Divination Sect", which is also one of the "five flowers" in Emei Five Flowers Eight Leaves, and Azure Ox Temple keeps watch and helps each other.
In the "Yi Divination Cave" where Cheng Yi lives, there is also a poem written by Zhu Xi: "The divine house is a small space, and the world's economy is contained in it. Every direction is full of insufficiency, just like there is an infinite origin."
Due to the large number of tourists, scholars often sneaked in to make rubbings, which almost caused the inscription to be damaged, so "Yi Divination Cave" has been closed.
"Yi Divination Sect" was built along the mountain, and a large manor was built.
In the hall of the sect "Yi Tower", Yi Divination Sect leader Cheng YuanXing was holding a tea cup, skimming off the foam with the cup lid, blowing it gently, and drank three sips.
He was dressed in a Confucian robe, with a white face and a long beard, and carried himself with great grace.
In the hall, on the left is Chongxu Zi Old Taoist, and on the right is Commandery Commandant Office, Liu Gan from a hundred households, and a eunuch in brocade clothes holding a fly whisk.
The old eunuch had a kind face, fair hair, and a childish face. He also had an extraordinary demeanor. He looked up and said calmly, "Master Cheng, 'Wish-Fulfilling Pearl' is also missing. It will be difficult for our family to explain it when we get back. What do you think we should do?"
"Hahaha..."
Chongxu Zi Old Taoist's face was full of grief and anger, "You instigated the Salt Gang, colluded with the Wushan demon people, killed my leader, and massacred the people, how should this account be settled!"
"Daoist priest, please don't talk nonsense!"
Commandery Commandant Office Liu Gan said in a deep voice, "This matter has not been investigated clearly. There are many doubts in it, so don't jump to conclusions."
The old eunuch was a little unhappy when he heard this, and waved his hands and said, "It's just some gangsters who are making trouble, I Shu King Residence don't care about this."
"If the Daoist priest wants to pursue the case, he should go to the Salt Gang himself."
"You?!"
Chongxu Zi suddenly became angry.
"Everyone, please calm down..."
Yi Divination Sect leader Cheng YuanXing smiled indifferently and said, "The imperial court is crusade against the Bo Prefecture Yang Family. Many Tusi City are causing trouble along the way. Evil cults are raging in the southwest, and the Eastern Sichuan area is not stable either."
"Just like that near Wushan, there is a demon who is secretly causing trouble, releasing the demon 'Guest in the Mist' to harm the people, just to find some 'Elixir of Immortality', it is simply ridiculous!"
"Now that such a big thing has happened, we are also responsible. We will go to Chengdu in a while and go to the palace in person to apologize."
When the old eunuch heard this, his pupils shrank immediately, and then he forced a smile on his face, "Master Cheng was joking. Since the demon has been eliminated, there is no need to say more about this matter."
"This... is not good. 'Wish-Fulfilling Pearl' is Thirteen Treasures of Tang Zhenguo. It was stolen by those Wushan Rogue Cultivator. I..."
"I will investigate this matter later, so there is no need to trouble your faction."
"Okay, Prince, how are you doing lately?"
"It's great. Chengdu Lantern Festival will host it personally this year."
"That's good, I will send you a congratulatory gift when the time comes..."
The two started chatting about home matters, and then the tension disappeared.
Chongxu Zi Old Taoist looked on with cold eyes and said nothing.
Two days have passed since Wushan Rogue Cultivator caused trouble.
That day, people from the Salt Gang and Shu King Residence suddenly arrived, bringing with them a naval force. From top to bottom, Fengdu County felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Chongxu Zi knew that something was not right, so he immediately sent his disciples to use armored horses, go forward through the mountain road, and ask Yi Divination Sect for help overnight.
Yi Divination Sect's headmaster came personally, so no big trouble happened.
Facing Cheng YuanXing, Shu King Residence did not dare to mess around.
The reason is very simple. Yi Divination Sect is not only one of Emei Five Flowers, but also a holy place of Confucianism, and has contacts with many Divine Land academies.
The head Cheng YuanXing is proficient in Numerology Arts, and has friends all over the world from the dignitaries of the imperial court to Confucian Circle high scholars.
More importantly, Cheng YuanXing is still a member of the Cheng family.
The Cheng family is the first Xuanmen family in Sichuan and Sichuan. The patriarch Cheng Jianxin is one of the ten great masters, the Sword Immortal of Sichuan, and the original headmaster of Qingcheng.
Because he had not been born for many years, the world heard that he was dead, and no one suppressed him in Sichuan and Sichuan, which caused a lot of chaos.
But even so, no one dares to bet.
Even Shu King Residence must be treated with caution.
Thinking of this, Chongxu Zi couldn't help but feel sad.
Compared to other Wuhua, Azure Ox Temple has already declined, and anyone dares to bully it. No wonder the senior brother would take risks.
The only thing he can do is to throw all the blame on the dead Mount Wu Loose Immortal to preserve his reputation and prevent Azure Ox Temple from becoming upset.
In this way, there will be a chance to rise again in the future.
"Everyone, please have some tea."
A disciple from outside the door came in with a tea tray and refilled tea for everyone in turn, behaving politely.
After the old eunuch saw it, he nodded and smiled and said, "Yi Divination Sect is indeed well-deserved, and there are successors."
"My father-in-law is joking."
The leader Cheng YuanXing glanced indifferently and said, "Cui Song, how did you get this tea? Go and get my newly picked 'FangPing Tea'."
"Yes, Master."
The person who came in was none other than Cui Song. He shrunk his neck and left quickly.
He took over from his junior brother and came in to serve tea, just to inquire about the news. However, the leader found out immediately and asked him to change the tea, which was also a secret tip.
After "Yi Tower" came out, Cui Song hurriedly came to another courtyard, turned around and closed the door.
"How's it going?"
A young Daoist priest hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
It is Lingfeng Zi, the apprentice of Chongxu Zi.
"This is not going to be easy."
Cui Song's eyebrows drooped, "The headmaster noticed it and secretly signaled that fellow Daoist Li and the others should not be talked about."
"The leader first tested it and said he would come to the door in person. The old eunuch immediately showed weakness and was willing to take a step back. He didn't want to make it public. I'm afraid there is someone else controlling the matter."
"I heard that Shu King Residence has been fighting fiercely to seize Young Lord's position. Most likely, someone among them wants to take the risk to find Elixir of Immortality and instigate the Salt Gang to do this."
Lingfeng Zi frowned and said, "Can't you tell King of Shu directly?"
Cui Song shook his head and said, "King of Shu Who is that person? Although he is old, his mind is not confused. He probably knows about this matter and pretends not to know it. Otherwise, how could 'Wish-Fulfilling Pearl' appear?"
"The headmaster asked me to take 'FangPing Tea', which is a hint that I, Yi Divination Sect, can only protect myself and will not participate rashly."
"Tell fellow Daoist Li and leave as soon as possible!"
"Hmm."
Lingfeng Zi also knew that the situation was urgent, so he quickly wrote a secret letter and tied it to the pigeon beside him.
Wow!
The pigeon fluttered its wings, penetrated the gloomy sky, and flew towards the mountain forest opposite Fuling City.
On the river, several navy warships were patrolling.
All boats along the way were stopped and searched carefully.
On the warship, the master of Commandery Commandant Office stood with a knife, and there was another person carrying Divine Firearm behind his back.
Not only that, there were some strange-looking warlocks beside them, who were using Divine Ability to investigate.
Li Yan's boat has been impounded and tied to the river bank with thick ropes, and a team of soldiers is stationed on patrol.
The pigeon passed through the dense forest and came to a valley.
In the valley, it was Li Yan and others.
Lu San With a whistle, the pigeon immediately fell down.
After Li Yan opened the secret letter and read it, he immediately shook his head and said, "As expected, Shu King Residence found out that the matter was exposed and wanted to cover it up, but 'Wish-Fulfilling Pearl' insisted on pursuing it."
"Yan XiaoGe, we can't hand this baby over again!"
Sha LiFei spoke quickly and secretly looked to the side.
There, a Daoist priest smelled of alcohol and was holding a gourd of wine, pouring it into his mouth.
It is Ezhou's No. 1 Demon Hunter and Wudang Yu Longzi.
Only after Li Yan entered Wudang did he realize his status. His qualifications are astonishing, comparable to Yu Chanzi. If he had not embarked on the road to becoming a god, he would have become the next leader of Wudang.
Hearing Sha LiFei's words, Yu Longzi suddenly became happy, burped, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, that thing has an owner. Shu King Residence also hides two Old Ghost. I don't want to touch it."
"But if you think clearly, little friend, if you take this thing, you will be in trouble."
"This thing must stay!"
Li Yan also nodded seriously.
This thing can block Divine Ability's detection. For their team, it is simply an artifact. It was so hard to grab it, so there was no reason to hand it over.
After saying that, he cupped his hands and said, "I would also like to thank you, senior, for taking the initiative."
At that time, the Salt Gang attacked, and "Fast Boat Zhang" and his group, as well as their luggage, were all detained on the ship.
Fortunately, Yu Longzi, who was a guest at the Yi Divination Sect, heard this and brought out all the people and things without knowing it.
"It's a trivial matter..."
Yu Longzi waved his hand, "Don't worry about Wushan's affairs. It will be taken down by Xuanmen in as little as half a year."
"Southwest War is in full swing, and the evil forces in the southwest are ready to move. You must be careful when you go there."
After saying that, he jumped up straight, landed on the donkey next to him, staggered around, and soon disappeared into the dense forest.
From afar, a warning came:
"Remember, there are many strange people in Shu, so never seek the truth..."
