Chapter 146

Luo Chanzhi had used some inferior methods on Su Jinzhou.

The Yuxiu Sect mainly practices illusion. In order to see Jitang, Su Jinzhou wants to use the Changhuanhuanshengfu created by Luo Chanzhi to enter a long dream.

However, although he fell into a dream, the person who appeared in the dream was Luo Chanzhi who had transformed into Jitang.

Furthermore, entering a dream required Ji Tang's nightmare energy as a guide. By the time Su Jinzhou discovered it was Luo Chanzhi, the nightmare energy he had carefully conserved had been lost. Resentment and anger took over, directly causing his inner demons to worsen. He truly put a lot of effort into suppressing these inner demons.

Although Tang had not heard Su Jinzhou talk about this incident in detail, he could guess a lot about it.

She met Luo Chanzhi in this secret realm. As enemies often meet on narrow roads, she had to teach her a lesson.

The spiritual fruit hitting her head was just the beginning. She would not let Luo Chanzhi leave the secret realm safely.

Lang Yu didn't know about Ji Tang's old grudge. Just looking at the minor fight in front of him, he guessed that Luo Chanzhi must not have offended him seriously, so Yan Zun just gave him a slight punishment.

Just when he thought that Nightmare Lord would make some hidden moves again, fireworks suddenly exploded in the distant sky.

The fireworks are still eye-catching in the daytime, and the red powder sprayed out looks like a burning fire in the pale blue sky, indicating that the situation is urgent.

Before he could take his eyes off the fire, fireworks exploded in other places.

He spoke to her carefully through the power of the Nightmare Lord's soul that rested on him, "Nightmare Lord, it seems there are many dangers in the secret realm. There are so many fireworks crying for help and warnings all at once. Should we go and see if the disciples in the sect are safe?"

Ji Tang knows everything within the secret realm. Although some disciples of Su Xuan Sect are in danger, none of them are fatal. As long as they are not fatal, she will not take action.

As for these fireworks...

"It's okay, I did it."

Lang Yu said "Huh?" stupidly.

"You, uh, it was you who did it?"

Luo Chanzhi had no time to study the spiritual fruit anymore. He directly summoned a flying sword and flew towards the red smoke caused by the fireworks.

Lang Yu immediately realized, "So the red smoke came from the Yuxiu Sect."

He suddenly had a new understanding of the old grudge between the two. Judging from the commotion, it seemed that the grudge was not small.

After Jitang found work for Luo Chanzhi, he flew up the tree, lay down, and then closed his eyes leisurely.

She took out the soul-transforming bracelet that Su Jinzhou gave her from her storage ring.

This bracelet is different from the ice-transmitting bracelet that Su Jinzhou casually threw to her when she was still Jiu Shui Shen. The materials used in making it alone can make a top-grade magic weapon.

It’s not that Su Jinzhou is extravagant, but Ji Tang’s cultivation is too high. Most soul-transforming instruments cannot withstand her nightmare energy. Many times, the soul-transforming instruments would break as soon as she injected nightmare energy into them.

Ji Tang put on the Soul-Transforming Bracelet, and the surging nightmare energy was transformed into spiritual power at the same moment. The surging spiritual power covered the spiritual tree where she was, and the spiritual fruits on the branches visibly changed from unripe green to a moist peach pink, and their size also doubled.

Although this spiritual tree is hundreds of years old, it has no spiritual intelligence. Ji Tang did not discuss it and controlled the spiritual power to shuttle between the spiritual fruits. Soon, the ground was covered with ripe spiritual fruits, spiritual energy overflowed, and the fragrance of the fruits also spread.

She called Lang Yu from the tree, "Just eat the spiritual fruit and practice here."

Lang Yu didn't close his mouth until he heard her voice.

These spiritual fruits are hard to come by in the secret realm. Others may not get one in one trip, but he not only gets to eat them, but he can also eat his fill!

It took Lang Yu almost two hours just to eat the spiritual fruit and absorb the spiritual power inside.

When he finished his practice, there were still some spiritual fruits scattered on the ground in the distance. Unfortunately, he was willing but unable to eat them.

Ji Tang jumped down from the tree and said, "I think Luo Chanzhi's apprentice is no pushover. Let's go and take a look."

Lang Yu hurriedly put all the spiritual fruits into the storage bag and followed Ji Tang's steps. "What did Nightmare Lord see?"

Ji Tang did not answer directly, but asked: "What is the relationship between Tan Wen, Yang Xiaoluan and Cui Ranmei?"

Lang Yu: “…”

He looked troubled. "Tan Wen and Yang Xiaoluan both admire Miss Cui Ranmei, but Miss Cui Ranmei has never clearly stated who she likes."

Ji Tang understood, "You're still too polite. Isn't this just to lure them together?"

Lang Yu was speechless for a moment, his cheeks flushed.

They remained invisible and came to the spiritual spring where Tan Wen and the other two were.

As soon as I arrived, I saw all three of them fell into the spiritual spring, soaking wet and in a miserable state.

Cui Ranmei was covering her face and sobbing. Tan Wen and Yang Xiaoluan were in an awkward situation. They looked at each other and were speechless.

Jitang got angry when he saw how restrained they were, so he and Lang Yu showed up.

The three of them were very frightened. After seeing who it was, they all bowed.

Ji Tang stood high on the shore, lowering his eyes to look at them, his eyes revealing impatience, "Are you taking a shower?"

Lang Yu pursed his lips and said nothing, thinking that what Yanzun said was really vicious.

However, after she asked this, his irritability eased a little. Otherwise, he would have been angry when he saw these two disappointing brothers and fellow disciples.

Tan Wen and Yang Xiaoluan were trying to climb up in a hurry, but they couldn't leave Cui Ranmei behind who was still in the spiritual spring. The two of them looked back and forth, looking hopeless.

Jitang: "Lang Yu."

Lang Yu immediately took action and used magic to drag the two of them up.

Cui Ranmei stopped crying now. Seeing the two people being dragged up, she was the only one left in the water, with a stunned expression.

Ji Tang sucked the sachet from Cui Ranmei's waist, cut it open with her fingernails, and used her nightmare energy to lift up the materials inside.

"There's a herb in here," she said bluntly, picking out a single herb. "It's called the Mystic Spring Wood. It has a light fragrance on its own, but if you put it with other spices, it easily hides the scent."

"Its aroma, when blended with other spices, is very unique. Prolonged exposure to this fragrance can cause a person to become dazed. The scent can also cause a slight warming of the body, though the symptoms are so mild that they're easily overlooked. It can also cause a palpitation of the heart, creating the illusion of a racing heartbeat, accompanied by numbness in the limbs."

Ji Tang pushed the herbs in front of Tan Wen and Yang Xiaoluan, "If you're exposed to this herb for a long time, coupled with some of the shady secret techniques of the herb user, it will create some indescribable feelings in people. The longer you are exposed to it, the more you'll be unable to extricate yourself."

Although the smell of the Shenchun wood is light, Tan Wen and Yang Xiaoluan are both cultivators and can still distinguish its taste.

As soon as they inhaled the scent, they smelled a familiar fragrance. Furthermore, the fact that Ji Tang had singled out this herb, without any other spices to mask it, sent it straight into their nostrils, causing them to feel a sudden surge of heat.

Ji Tang said to Lang Yu: "Kick them down again."

Lang Yu kicked each of them without hesitation, and the two of them fell into the spiritual spring again, and the splashes of water splashed all over Cui Ranmei's face.

Jitang sat on a rock half a person's height on the shore, without any sympathy for this cunning little girl.

"Did you research these inferior things on your own, or did your master teach you?"

Cui Ranmei was soaked all over and could only look up at Jitang.

Jitang sat high up and looked down at her with cold eyes when he asked her. Cui Ranmei felt humiliated after only looking at her for a moment.

Ji Tang: "You're not talking? Or is it that your Jade Embroidery Sect's tradition is not right? The entire sect is doing these things that are not presentable."

Cui Ranmei's averted gaze suddenly sharpened, and she looked at her fiercely, "You must have evidence to support your words! Although you are the leader of the Suxuan Sect, if you slander my Yuxiu Sect, I will not forgive you!"

Jitang smiled.

When he smiled, the three people on Su Xuanzong's side shuddered at the same time.

The next second, Cui Ranmei was dragged to Jitang by the nightmare.

Cui Ranmei screamed and fell to the ground, looking at Jitang with a mixture of shock and anger, "If you touch me, my master will not let you go!"

"Her?" Ji Tang said lightly.

"Just me."

The younger generations were surprised to realize that there was another person.

There was still a smile on Jitang's lips, and his expression didn't show any surprise at all.

Luo Chanzhi had just arrived, but did not show up immediately. Instead, he hid in the dark and watched for a while before speaking.

Jitang leaned back lazily and looked at her sideways.

By this time, Cui Ranmei had already stumbled up the shore and was running towards Luo Chanzhi.

Luo Chanzhi looked Cui Ranmei up and down, "Why are you in such a mess?"

Cui Ranmei pointed at Jitang, feeling aggrieved. "Master, it's all her fault! She not only slandered me, but you as well, even saying that our Yuxiu Sect has a flawed reputation and is not worthy of being recognized!"

Ji Tang's expression remained unchanged as he said to his young disciples, "See? This little girl is only good at parroting and telling stories. You are all bewitched by evil spirits. You are so foolish that you will suffer a great loss sooner or later."

Without saying anything, Lang Yu pulled Tan Wen and Yang Xiaoluan to Jitang.

Tan Wen had not yet recovered from the blow. He looked as wilted and listless as an eggplant hit by frost.

Yang Xiaoluan bowed awkwardly, his lips opening and closing but no words coming out.

Luo Chanzhi glanced at Ji Tang, his eyes were filled with poison. If his eyes could be real, then millions of knives would fall on Ji Tang.

"Are you the leading elder of Suxuan Sect?" She had been to Suxuan Sect, but did not remember such a person.

Ji Tang's eyes were a little provocative, "That's right."

Luo Chanzhi: "Although you are from the Suxuan Sect, you bully the disciples of my Yuxiu Sect and slander my sect. Today, I will not let you stay!"

Ji Tang's smiling eyes lost their warmth, and his voice was tinged with frost. "What a coincidence, I thought so too."

Luo Chanzhi couldn't see through her and didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, so she directly used her hands to perform an advanced spell - Blowing Dreams and Stabbing the Heart.

The moment the spell was cast, the space suddenly distorted.

A dense mass of sharp thorns appeared behind Luo Chanzhi, all pointing towards Ji Tang, with cold rays of light aimed at her, ready to strike.

Cui Ranmei's resentful eyes were mixed with pleasure, as if she had already foreseen the scene of Ji Tang being pierced by thousands of arrows.

She looked at Tan Wen and the other two with pride. She had expected to see fear and panic on their faces, but there wasn't any.

She saw loss and pain on Tan Wen's face, shame and regret on Yang Xiaoluan's face, indifference and disdain on Lang Yu's face. There were many expressions, but there was no fear or timidity!

Why?

Cui Ranmei always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't find out what the problem was.

And in front of him, the Dream Blowing Heart Thorn had already been activated.

This is the offensive illusion that the Yuxiu Sect is proud of. Anyone who is hit will feel as if they are really enduring the pain of being pierced by thousands of arrows. Once hit, it will be difficult to escape or fight back.

Many people were killed by this high-level spell, and this spell and the Yuxiu Sect were promoted to a higher level in the world of cultivation.

Countless spikes shot out from behind Luo Chanzhi, and countless piercing screams that cut through the air overlapped with each other, with such fierce momentum that it formed a deafening roar like thousands of thunderbolts.

Millions of spikes were like huge waves. They watched as the magic was about to overwhelm and swallow up Ji Tang and the other three. But just as the huge waves hit, they suddenly stopped several meters away from Ji Tang!

Time seemed to stop at this moment, and the powerful high-level spell maintained its momentum and was fixed in place.

The clouds in the sky were still moving slowly, birds spread their wings and flew over the treetops, the leaves swayed, and the light and shadows they cast mottled the spiritual spring and the ground. The light and shadows flickered in irregular orange shapes, and as the leaves became still, they soon returned to silence.

Jitang watched Luo Chanzhi weaving through the gaps between the dense spikes.

Her voice was calm, forming a sharp contrast with Luo Chanzhi's shocked and horrified expression.

She said, "It's my turn."
