Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.
When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...
Although Amur Heaven Realm is small, it has few talents. It is difficult to find powerful people in the Fusion Stage, but it is not impossible to find a few people in the Out-of-Body Stage.
The Elder Pi who was on duty at the Elder Council at that time was a cultivator in the out-of-body stage.
This happened at Yanxia Cliff. So many people have disappeared in recent years, but they have not been found. The Elders Council cannot escape the blame. Elder Pi was quite responsible. He agreed to take the lead without being urged.
He was still worried that his fighting power was not enough, so he invited another out-of-body cultivator from Yanxia Cliff, Master Gushan, to help.
In addition to Elder Pi, Master Gushan and his several disciples, several fellow practitioners whom Sariam had sought help from this time and their respective friends who had asked for advice were all preparing to go together to attack the Youying Cliff.
To be more specific, a terrible incident of kidnapping and disappearance occurred so close to Yanxia Cliff. As local cultivators, they could not sit idly by.
It would be fine if they didn't know, but now that they knew about the existence of such evil practices, they would have to take action for the stability of Yanxia Cliff.
Chen Xiao still thought that this time the operation against the Throbbing Cliff would still be the same as before, with them as the main force.
It was not until Saliam brought back the good news that he realized he had overthought.
This is a good thing. The stronger they are, the greater the chance of finding Ah Rou back.
Eventually, the team that went to the Yuyan Cliff to conquer and rescue the missing cultivators grew to more than 50 people. There were two out-of-body cultivators, five Yuanying cultivators, nine Jindan cultivators, thirteen foundation cultivators, and the rest were high-level cultivators in the body refining stage, which made people feel at ease.
Without further ado, after a brief reorganization, the team set off.
It was noon when they left Yanxia Cliff. The group moved very fast and reached the outskirts of Youyan Cliff just after dark.
The Sobbing Cliff was just around the corner. Sariam, who had always been calm, could no longer hold back his inner worries and anxieties and wanted to attack the Sobbing Cliff in one go.
The light became dimmer and dimmer, and the bright stars began to appear, but they did not bring much light.
Whether it was day or night, the change of light did not have much impact on the immortal cultivators. It was just that according to the habits they developed during their mortal period, immortal cultivators usually chose to rest at night.
Once a war that lasts for several days and nights breaks out, immortal cultivators do not have the tradition of calling off the battle at night and continuing the battle during the day.
The cultivators who came to help knew that she was concerned about the safety of her disciples, so they did not dissuade her. Only the high-level cultivators in the body-refining stage were left to guard the periphery, and the group headed for the main peak of the Weeping Cliff.
The terrain of Youyan Cliff is extremely steep, with steep peaks rising one after another, forming a stepped landform. At first glance, you can tell that this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Whether it was man-made or naturally formed, the surface is covered with dense vegetation, including a variety of tall trees, short shrubs, and countless layers of dense vines.
There is a solitary peak at the highest point, standing abruptly on the top of the mountain. It looks like a mountain that has been split in half, with a slope on one side and a cliff as smooth as a mirror on the other.
A strong wind blew across the mountain top, making an eerie sound like a woman's sad sobbing. The strange isolated peak and cliff made the atmosphere even more terrifying.
In addition, it was a night battle, which made Chen Xiao feel inexplicably uneasy.
Tong Nuonuo beside him suddenly shuddered. He touched his standing hair, shook his shoulders and said, "Why are you so creepy?"
Xi Yunting and Jing Hui did not react as strongly as they did, and could only comfort themselves by saying that they had not experienced enough battles.
Chen Xiao tried to analyze the cause and used Feng Shui techniques to explore the surrounding geomancy.
The Feng Shui of Youyan Cliff is definitely not very good, but it is not bad either. There are many vegetation here, and the vitality is sufficient, but it is obvious that the yin energy here is stronger than the yang energy.
Maybe... this evil spirit is the reason why he feels uneasy and Nuonuo feels creepy?
Chen Xiao thought uncertainly.
Turning to the other side of the cliff, everyone saw a stone fortress on the cliff.
The stone fort was built in a simple and rough way, but it was solid and huge. There was no beautiful decoration, and the outer wall was covered with creepers, and the exposed wall was directly made of stone. There was no eaves or balcony, and there were not only few windows, but each one was very small.
This doesn't look like a secluded cave for cultivating immortals at all, it's simply a gloomy medieval prison!
The appearance of the stone fortress immediately attracted everyone's attention. This was the residence of the evil cultivator in the out-of-body stage who had done so many evil things.
Xi Yunting was walking in front of Chen Xiao. He suddenly stopped and stopped Chen Xiao.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xiao looked around vigilantly.
Xi Yunting's expression was solemn, "It's too quiet."
Chen Xiao then noticed that the sounds of insects chirping and rodents moving around him had all disappeared since he didn't know when.
Jinghui also stopped and scanned the area with her spiritual sense.
"Except for the lack of sound, nothing seems to be wrong," he said puzzledly.
Before they could remind the team in front, figures suddenly appeared on the surrounding mountains.
"Who is it?" Elder Pi shouted, and the man on Lonely Mountain next to him also prepared a spell.
In fact, Xi Yunting was not the only one who noticed something was wrong. The experienced cultivators ahead had also noticed it. But just as Jing Hui said, they didn't find any other problems except that there was no movement, so they continued to move forward.
Secretly, several people were on high alert, and as soon as the ambushers showed up, they immediately reacted.
The revealed figures included ordinary people as well as members of a few tribes, including a few dwarfs.
They stood there quietly, and under the dim starlight, their skin actually had a faint blue hue.
There were suddenly several cries of surprise from within the punitive team, because these people were none other than the missing persons who they thought were in grave danger!
"Arou!" Sariam called out.
Chen Xiao looked in the direction she was shouting and saw Tang Ru standing on the branch of a tall tree, looking at them indifferently.
"A Rou!" Chen Xiao and Tong Nuonuo also called out to her, "Are you okay?"
"Speak up, Ah Rou!"
But no matter how the people below shouted, Tang Ru did not respond.
This made several people terrified.
As if hearing some kind of command, the person standing still suddenly rushed towards the crowd below.
At the beginning, everyone was still concerned that they were here to rescue people, so they were restrained in the fight. However, they soon discovered that although these people seemed to still have consciousness, they were like puppets and could not communicate.
This made everyone feel depressed. Although the person was still alive, it was no different from being dead.
It was unknown how many people the person behind the scenes had kidnapped, but there were more than a hundred people in front of them. They split into two groups, and the group that went up the mountain was less than thirty people. Each of them was entangled by two or three missing persons. They shouted but could not wake up, and they did not dare to hit them hard, so they were all in a stalemate.
"A Rou! Ah Rou!" Chen Xiao and Tong Nuonuo chased after Tang Ru.
They saw the opportunity quickly and rushed towards Tang Ru before being entangled by anyone.
Tang Ru's movements became even faster. He just tapped the leaf lightly and flew far away.
Fortunately, Chen Xiao and Tong Nuonuo both knew how to fly, so they were not left behind.
Soon, the two caught up with Tang Ru.
Tang Ru looked at the two of them with a strange gaze, and his usually lively eyes were now numb and cold.
"A Rou, Tang Ru! Wake up, I am Chen Xiao!" Chen Xiao shouted loudly while parrying Tang Ru's attack.
Not only did he shout himself, he also asked Tong Nuonuo to shout along with him.
He didn't know what Tang Ru had been through, but she looked as if she had been brainwashed and had forgotten everything about her past.
But the human brain is very sophisticated and magical. As long as it is stimulated repeatedly, maybe Tang Ru's memory can be restored.
Chen Xiao and Tong Nuonuo kept calling Tang Ru until Sariam got rid of the missing person who was entangled with her and rushed over here.
"Sari, you're just in time!" Tong Nuonuo's eyes lit up, and she told Sari Am that they were calling Tang Ru to try to restore her memory, "Come and call Ah Rou, maybe you can wake her up!"
Sariam called out several times.
After all, Sariam taught Tang Ru to grow up, and the two of them lived together for such a long time. Even if she has no memories of him, the feeling of her body will tell Tang Ru that this is her closest relative.
Tang Ru's movements slowed down and she looked at them blankly, "Am..." she murmured.
The three were overjoyed upon seeing this, and hurriedly continued calling out, trying to wake Tang Ru up.
This was undoubtedly what the person behind the scenes did not want to see. A sharp voice rolled over the sky above the Sobbing Cliff, "You uninvited evil guests, you are not welcome here! Get out of here right now! Otherwise, I will start a killing spree!"
The person behind the scenes finally showed up. Elder Pi was alert for a moment and shouted, "Which evil sect are you from? Do you dare to tell me your name?"
"Hmph! What a big hat. You are the uninvited people who rashly ran to other people's doorsteps and fought and killed, but you have the nerve to call the owner an evildoer!" The sharp voice said in a sinister tone, "I think that after coming to the Youyue Cliff, I have been practicing quietly behind closed doors. I have never disturbed the neighbors and have never done any evil. How can I say that I am an evildoer?"
Elder Pi laughed in anger, "How dare you quibble? If the victim hadn't come to me, I wouldn't have known that you had kidnapped so many people in Yanxia Cliff without knowing it!"
The man sneered, "It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. These people were not kidnapped by me. They all came back with me voluntarily."
If Chen Xiao and the others hadn't come, perhaps what he said might have really been able to fool people.
Sariam was furious, "What did you do to my Ah Rou? Why does she refuse to recognize me now?"
The man said coldly: "She did this voluntarily. If you want to become stronger, you have to pay a price. There is no such thing as a free lunch."
Sariam had never expected to hear such an answer and was stunned for a moment.
Chen Xiao raised his voice and said, "In this case, may I ask this senior, how can I make her recover as before?"
“Hahahaha! After going through so much trouble to become stronger, who would want to go back to their original state?” After laughing, the man said coldly: “I can’t make them go back to their original state.”
Tong Nuonuo gritted her teeth and squeezed out a voice: "It doesn't matter if it can't be changed back to the original state. Since you said that Ah Rou came with you voluntarily, we accept the consequences. Please set her free and let Ah Rou go back with us."
The man immediately turned hostile and said, "What kind of place do you think I am? You can come and go as you please? Since you agreed to my terms, you want to go back on your word? Humph, impossible!"
