Colluding with the Demonic Path
Purple Cloud was severely injured and could no longer control her body.
He could only watch helplessly as the abyssal fissure, like the gaping maw of a monster, swallowed him whole.
The wind whistled in their ears, and the Purple Cloud plunged into boundless darkness.
Suddenly, a black tentacle came from above, wrapped around Purple Cloud's body, and pulled her back from the abyss.
The black tentacles were formed from the Origin-Returning Sha Qi.
Song Wen saved Purple Cloud because if something happened to Purple Cloud, he would have no way to explain it to the Lan Yin.
Song Wen looked at the heavily injured Purple Cloud, his expression extremely solemn.
Given Purple Cloud's current condition, she has completely lost her fighting ability.
This meant that he would have to face the two golden corpses alone.
"Zhu Yin, has the formation been successfully set up?" Song Wen asked loudly.
"Alright, retreat quickly."
Zhu Yin's answer delighted Song Wen.
He raised his hand and pointed towards the Blood Sea.
A pillar of blood surged from the Blood Sea, shooting straight into the sky and crashing into the flying golden corpse in mid-air.
The flying golden corpse was blocked by Purple Cloud's giant sword. Just as it was about to regroup and increase its speed again, it chased after Song Wen.
The pillar of blood, carrying earth-shattering power, charged straight towards them.
The flying golden corpse had no choice but to temporarily halt its pursuit, and with a wave of its hands, ten claw-like beams shot out.
The pillar of blood was struck repeatedly by the claws and snapped in two, turning into a sky full of Blood Qi.
Song Wen diverted most of the Blood Sea's power to block the Flying Golden Corpse, and naturally could no longer trap the Bull-Headed Golden Corpse.
The golden bull-headed corpse broke through the Blood Sea and charged towards Song Wen.
Its eyes gleamed crimson, as if it would not rest until it had torn Song Wen to pieces.
Song Wen turned around, gathered up the Purple Cloud, and fled.
In the blink of an eye, he was beside Zhu Yin.
"Extreme Yin, protect me! I must trap both golden corpses at the same time," Zhu Yin said.
Song Wen looked at the two golden corpses that were chasing after him and nodded solemnly.
The first to enter the formation's range was the Flying Golden Corpse, which was significantly faster than the Bull-Headed Golden Corpse.
Seeing the flying golden corpse getting closer and closer, Zhu Yin merely activated the formation, holding back the attack, waiting for the bull-headed golden corpse.
Seeing this, Song Wen knew it was time for him to take action.
He concentrated his energy and poured all the Law Power within his body into the Blood Sea Seal.
Under Song Wen's control, the Blood Sea Seal transformed into a blood mountain tens of feet high, crashing into the flying golden corpse with overwhelming force.
The flying golden corpse, its body surging with corpse energy, collided with the blood mountain without any fear.
The two collided violently in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.
The Blood Mountain was knocked away and transformed back into the Blood Sea Seal, falling back into Song Wen's hands.
Song Wen was panting heavily. His Law Power was severely depleted after fighting two golden corpses in succession, and his Qi and Blood were churning.
The flying golden corpse was also blocked by the blood mountain and retreated half a zhang.
The bull-headed golden corpse finally caught up and stepped into the formation.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Yin quickly formed several hand Method Formula, and the giant Corpse-Sealing Talisman reappeared.
The first to be hit was the flying golden corpse.
Under the powerful suppression of the talisman, the flying golden corpse suddenly froze, as if an invisible force was pressing down on it.
The flying golden corpse suddenly plummeted from mid-air and crashed to the ground. Together with the bull-headed golden corpse on the ground, it was suppressed by the Corpse-Sealing Talisman that descended from the sky.
The two golden corpses were enraged, their bodies surging with corpse energy, like battering rams, constantly impacting the talismans above.
The talisman flickered and trembled, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Extreme Yin, I have one more move that can temporarily trap the two golden corpses, but once I use it, my Law Power will be exhausted. At that time, you must take me with you to escape."
Upon hearing this, Song Wen was startled.
Zhu Yin even has Secret Method for dealing with zombies.
"Alright, I will definitely help you escape from this underground cave." Song Wen readily agreed.
Zhu Yin didn't seem worried about Song Wen breaking his promise; her hand Method Formula suddenly changed.
The black inscriptions on the talisman seemed to come alive, gradually coalescing into two black chains.
The chain has no physical form; it is some kind of illusion.
With a soft shout from Zhu Yin, two black chains shot out from the talisman like serpents, transforming into two deep black beams that instantly shot towards the two golden corpses.
The two golden corpses seemed to sense the danger and tried to escape, but the suppression of the Corpse-Sealing Talisman made their movements extremely slow.
Their bodies emanated a terrifying aura of death, yet they were utterly powerless to stop the chains from closing in.
In an instant, the two golden corpses were tightly bound by chains.
Zhu Yin's face was as pale as paper, and her body swayed slightly, almost falling over. Clearly, this move had taken a heavy toll on her.
"Hurry!" she gasped to Song Wen, "The Corpse-Locking Chain won't hold them for long."
Song Wen dared not delay for a moment, and a blue talisman suddenly appeared in his hand, which was the 'Azure Astral Movement Talisman'.
The cyan talisman shattered, and a cyan gale instantly surrounded Song Wen. His figure shot out like an arrow, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.
Behind him, the Origin-Returning Sha Qi condensed into two tentacles, which rolled up Purple Cloud and Zhu Yin.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, so fast it was astonishing; it was as if a gust of wind had swept by, and the three of them had vanished from their spot.
Thirty breaths later, the Azure Nether Astral Wind on Song Wen's body dissipated, and he had already escaped more than twenty miles away.
Song Wen dared not relax for a moment and continued to flee at full speed.
To his surprise, the two golden corpses did not chase after him.
The path we came from gets wider and wider as we walk.
On the way back, it was the opposite; the path became narrower and narrower.
Song Wen led the two women upwards until they arrived above Black Stone Mountain.
Song Wen rode the air and headed west.
After flying away from the Black Stone Mountain area, Song Wen arrived at the bottom of a cliff.
He withdrew the Origin-Returning Sha Qi from his body and put Purple Cloud and Zhu Yin down.
Purple Cloud was badly injured, and she gave Song Wen a grateful look.
"Thank you Extreme Yin. I will remember this kindness."
After saying that, she swallowed a healing pill and began to circulate her internal energy to heal her injuries.
Zhu Yin, on the other hand, had exhausted Law Power. After taking a pill to replenish her Law Power, she also began to sit cross-legged in meditation.
Song Wen's situation wasn't much better; he had less than 20% of his magical Law Power left.
Just as he was about to set up an array to conceal his presence, he saw two figures descending from the sky.
The two men, Hu Gao and Wen Lin, had noticed Song Wen while he was traveling through the sky and followed his trail.
Their gazes swept over Song Wen and the other two, and a cold glint flashed in Hu Gao's eyes.
He stared at Song Wen, the only one still standing, and asked in a cold voice.
"Who are you?"
"I am Extreme Yin," Song Wen said.
"You are not a cultivator of my Two Forms Sect, so why are you in the Illusory Spirit Valley Secret Realm? And why are you with Senior Sister Purple Cloud? And who injured her?" Hu Gao asked aggressively.
Song Wen did not want to clash with the people of the Two Forms Sect, and replied in a calm tone.
"I am indeed not a cultivator of the Two Forms Sect. As for why I appeared in the Illusory Spirit Valley Secret Realm, please forgive me for not being able to tell you. Fellow Daoist Purple Cloud was injured by Demon Beast, Non-Self."
Hu Gao wanted to ask something more, but Wen Lin suddenly interrupted him.
After confirming that Song Wen and the other two were in extremely poor condition, she wore a half-smile.
"Senior Brother Hu Gao, don't you understand yet? Purple Cloud colluded with Heretical Demons and Outer Dao and treacherous sects, luring them into the secret realm with the intention of stealing its rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
