Because there were too many injured people, Chen Xiao was so busy that he forgot about the test paper talisman. Fortunately, the spiritual practitioner he asked for help at that time did not forget it.

Chen Xiao was just asking the injured person in front of him where he was injured when the spiritual practitioner squeezed over and shouted into his ear: "I tried out the paper talisman you gave me and found out how to use it!"

Chen Xiao was stunned, and quickly handed the injured person to Liu Lang, and he and Ling Xiu walked aside.

This spiritual practitioner not only has a good temper, but is also very patient. Even if he has no idea what he has promised to do, he is willing to try it step by step.

After thanking the other party, Chen Xiao followed the other party's instructions, held the paper talisman with his not-so-flexible left hand, and slowly circulated his energy for a while. The paper talisman was ignited with a "bang" and burned quietly into a ball of light blue flame.

"What is this?" Chen Xiao was surprised and used his fingers to feel the flame. It didn't feel hot at all, but warm instead.

Because he couldn't figure out the purpose of this batch of paper talismans, Chen Xiao used ordinary talisman paper to draw them, not the ready-to-burn type that Li and Zhou had processed. Therefore, Chen Xiao never knew that this kind of paper talisman would take this form after being activated.

The spiritual practitioner was a little puzzled as to why Chen Xiao didn't understand his own things, but he felt relieved when he remembered that Chen Xiao had originally asked him to find out how to use this paper talisman.

He said, "I have tried several methods with the paper talisman you gave me, and I found that the most effective method is to eat it directly."

It turned out to be a swallowing talisman. In my previous life, talismans that could be eaten directly were quite rare. No wonder I had never discovered how to use it. Chen Xiao nodded, indicating that he understood. He asked, "What do you feel after eating it?"

The spiritual cultivator thought about it for a while before saying, "The Spirit Communication Talisman and the Heart Purification Talisman can increase spiritual essence and heal injuries respectively, while the Spirit Refining Talisman is a complete attack spell. It will do moderate damage to ordinary cultivators, but great harm to spiritual cultivators."

Chen Xiao pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "I understand. Thank you for your help."

The spiritual practitioner said sheepishly, "You're welcome. If possible, can I exchange some of these special paper talismans from you?"

Chen Xiao naturally agreed immediately. The other party had helped so much, so he should thank him. However, apart from the ones used in the experiment just now, there were not many of the three types of paper talismans left.

He had a more important purpose at the moment, so he had to give the other party the talisman first, and the remaining agreements would be exchanged after the war was over.

After parting with Ling Xiu, Chen Xiao returned to the logistics department and took the Qingxin Talisman. He activated it with his vital energy and gave it directly to Ling Xiu.

When the Buddhist practitioners saw that he could actually heal the spiritual practitioners in this way, they specially assigned the spiritual practitioners' injuries to him.

The longer the battle lasted, the more the Buddhists consumed their true energy, and the harder it was to use the healing spell. Just when they were feeling a little exhausted, Chen Xiao became a new force.

Chen Xiao was too busy to handle it, so he and Liu Lang each took half of the paper talisman and distributed them to the spiritual practitioners in turn, letting them activate it and eat it themselves.

This greatly accelerated the speed of treating the wounded. When all the wounded in the logistics area had been treated and peace had been restored, Chen Xiao felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Chen Xiao wanted to find the Buddhist monk who had just spoken to ask something, but the other party was busy meditating and recovering, so Chen Xiao had to give up.

After taking a look at Liu Lang who was almost exhausted, Chen Xiao walked towards the conference room alone. At this time, the room was empty.

Chen Xiao looked at the tea set on the table in confusion. The water was not completely cold yet. It was obvious that many people had been here before. He didn't know what had happened, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

This inexplicable feeling made Chen Xiao alert. With the previous experience in front of him, Chen Xiao never dared to underestimate his premonition.

Chen Xiao walked along the road in front of the conference hall to the edge of the defensive magic shield. There was a gentle slope here, and on the slope there was a bamboo pavilion for viewing the view. Chen Xiao jumped lightly and stood on the top of the pavilion.

Without the blessing of the Buddhist eye-opening mantra, Chen Xiao could only rely on his own eyesight to look into the distance.

The previous scenes of fighting until the sky was dark are no longer seen, and there are no more battles in groups of three or two.

From a distance, Chen Xiao saw a huge tree that seemed to be attacked by a strong wind, with its branches dancing wildly in the wind. On the wildly swaying branches, there were black spots that moved like bees, and they seemed to be dodging because they were afraid of the strong wind.

At first, Chen Xiao was a little confused. He couldn't understand how such a huge tree suddenly appeared. He thought it was a spell cast by some immortal cultivator with wood-type spiritual roots.

But after a closer look, it turned out that the wildly waving branches were not blown by the wind at all, and the trajectory and direction of the swing were completely irregular. And those moving black dots were not bees, but living immortal cultivators.

Chen Xiao was shocked and gasped. The towering crimson tree turned out to be a "Whomping Willow"! It was even more ferocious than the "Whomping Willow" in the movie. After all, this was not just a plant, but an evil creature with human thinking.

Chen Xiao was very anxious, searching for familiar figures. Unfortunately, they were too far away, and each person was only the size of a sesame seed, so he couldn't recognize who was who.

Fortunately, through the splashing and dissipation of the magic light, Chen Xiao was barely able to guess Jing Hui's location, and the group surrounding him must be Buddhist practitioners.

The protection put up by the Buddhist practitioners often could not withstand a single blow from the branches, which forced the Buddhist practitioners to gather together and cast all their protective spells on Jinghui alone.

The golden shield on Jing Hui's body had a faint halo that emitted a hazy fluorescence even from a distance. He bravely withstood the crazy attack of the Whomping Willow and charged forward fearlessly.

With a casual glance, Chen Xiao spotted a fast-moving light spot, which seemed to be the blade of the Snow Blade. The trajectory of the light spot was very agile and graceful, rushing towards the Whomping Willow several times, and avoiding the branches' blows several times, and then running away after one strike.

Chen Xiao knew very well how tough the skin of the Whomping Willow was, and it was not easy to pierce it. Every time the light spot was in danger, Chen Xiao broke into a cold sweat, and every time he escaped unscathed, Chen Xiao felt excited and happy.

Even though they were just small black dots in his field of vision, Chen Xiao could sense their unwillingness to admit defeat. His blood surged in his chest, and he wished he could be among them and fight alongside them.

But this impulse turned into regret when he turned around and saw his broken arm.

Chen Xiao's mood became low, and he came back to his senses from his excitement. The battle between his elder brother, Jinghui, and the Buddhists only looked dangerous. With Jinghui's strong defense and his elder brother's sharp attack, even if he couldn't defeat the "Whomping Willow", there would be no fatal danger. So where did he get this ominous premonition?

Chen Xiao was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned around and looked towards the north, his eyes widened. "Enemy attack!!!"

His voice rose high, piercing the silence, and at the same time he jumped down from the top of the bamboo pavilion and quickly ran towards the logistics area.

At the other end of the sky, a large group of evil spirits flying in the air are approaching!

In the entire building complex near the bamboo forest, there were only a few Buddhist practitioners whose true energy was almost exhausted and a group of wounded people who had to recuperate - the lightly wounded people who could still fight followed the garrison to Xiayuan, as well as two Feng Shui masters who had no combat ability at the moment (one of them was still an apprentice who had not yet completed his apprenticeship).

Therefore, when they learned that the evil spirit cultivators who had captured Xiayuan had launched a surprise attack, the Buddhist cultivators in charge of logistics could not help but curse the defenders of Xiayuan as useless.

However, no matter how much they cursed, it was useless. Panic and fear made these Buddhist practitioners behave in a confused manner. Before they could organize a decent action, they were rushed to the vicinity of the building complex by this group of evil spirit practitioners.

Fortunately, the defensive magic shield here was built with great effort, and it barely withstood the first wave of attacks from this group of evil spirits.

When the time came, the Taoists regained their sanity after the panic, and the Buddhists checked one by one how many were still able to fight and arranged them to the front. The evil spirits were blocked outside and could not attack the people inside, but the people inside could hit them.

As for those who are seriously injured and unable to move, and have no fighting ability, there is nothing we can do. Everyone is busy taking care of themselves at the moment, and no one has the extra ability to save others.

Chen Xiao gave Liu Lang some soul-refining talismans, which he activated and swallowed in one gulp. This way, if an evil spirit cultivator broke in, they would have the power to resist.

The number of troops arranged by Cheng Gu was not large, but it was enough to eliminate all the people left in the bamboo forest complex.

This person was ruthless and shrewd, and had no intention of giving the Taoists and spiritual practitioners a chance to breathe. First, he cut off the spiritual practitioners' retreat and their hope of seeking help, and then he wanted to remove the only remaining base of the Taoists who were already trapped in a jar.

His step-by-step encroachment not only put Daoxiu in a difficult position strategically, but also constantly dealt a huge blow to the other party psychologically.

After the fall of Xiayuan, if even this place was gone, Daoxiu would surely fall into despair and be completely defeated.

As for whether the desperate spiritual practitioner would launch a crazy counterattack, resulting in mutual destruction, Cheng Gu obviously didn't care.

Regardless of the outcome, their goal was achieved. Not only did they get their revenge, but they also used the blood and bones of the Taoists to build the illustrious reputation of the Huaiyin Patriarch.

Therefore, in order to achieve their goal as quickly as possible, the evil spirits who came were all at the Golden Core Stage. Soon, the protective shield was shaken by the impact. When the protective shield was broken and the evil spirits rushed in, Chen Xiao pulled Liu Lang and several Buddhist and spiritual practitioners who happened to be around to retreat in the direction of the "Hitman Willow".

There were evil spirits everywhere killing people, and there was nowhere to escape. Several Buddhist and spiritual practitioners were at a loss and subconsciously followed Chen Xiao.

Many of the spiritual practitioners who were caught by the evil spirits were bitten directly. The evil spirits sucked the spiritual practitioners like jelly. With just one breath, only a layer of skin was left on the spiritual practitioners.

When ordinary immortal cultivators were killed, their souls were shattered and turned into light-colored smoke before they could escape. Evil immortal cultivators were intoxicated, and took a deep breath like they were smoking opium, and the smoke was completely absorbed without any resistance.

The scene was as horrible and weird as hell, enough to cause a weak-willed person to suffer a mental breakdown.

There were screams everywhere, and evil spirits were chasing the survivors everywhere.

Chen Xiao's expression was tense. Once an evil spirit cultivator rushed towards him, he would open his mouth and spit out a blue flame, which would instantly burn the evil spirit cultivator so much that he screamed and turned into a burning fireman.

The soul-refining talisman was not as powerful as it looked. The flame could only bring severe pain to the soul and make the person mentally depressed. However, the damage was magnified several times when it came to spiritual practitioners. The flames did not burn for too long, but it bought Chen Xiao and the others enough time.

Using one's own energy to activate the ignited flame will not harm the person. Chen Xiao distributed the soul-refining talisman to the Buddhist and spiritual practitioners around him. In this way, several people relied on the soul-refining talisman to forcibly break out a way to survive.

After leaving the defensive shield of the bamboo forest complex, several Buddhist and spiritual practitioners felt at a loss. In front of them was the huge and ferocious "Whomping Willow", and behind them was the dangerous Xiayuan gathering point. No matter which direction they fled, they would be pursued.

Chen Xiao, however, moved forward towards the "Whomping Willow" without hesitation. A Buddhist cultivator shouted at him in fear: "The Huaiyin Patriarch will devour everything, you can't go there!"

Chen Xiao said without even turning his head: "My elder brother and Master Jinghui are over there! If we can survive, the only way out is to kill Patriarch Huaiyin!" This judgment coincided with the countermeasure proposed by Xi Yunting not long ago.
