Chapter 345

Cuilan has always had a playful attitude towards Li Dongting, like a cat playing with a mouse, but she didn't expect that Li Dongting would have the courage to directly break into the range of the magic circle.

She was unable to stop him at the time, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally followed him in.

Cuilan was very confident that ordinary magic circles might not be able to stop her. Even if something happened to this body, she could just change to another one.

For the Taoist Priest Poison, the thing he lacks the least is a body that has been infected by poison.

Yes, Cuilan had died a long time ago, at the hands of the Poisonous Taoist.

This individual is a notorious demonic cultivator in this world, renowned for his ruthlessness and treacherous methods. He possesses a unique power he calls Poisonous Evil, which can silently infect a person, turning them into a puppet of the Poisonous Evil Taoist over time.

Relying on this unique skill, the Poisonous Taoist has committed many serious crimes over the years and is wanted by all major sects and dynasties. Due to the nature of his puppet form, it is difficult for people to capture his true form.

Only when he infects the first person does he have to appear in his true form.

At this time, Cuilan was naturally already a puppet of the Poisonous Taoist, but the Poisonous Taoist's real body was hiding in a cave not far from the manor.

When the Poisonous Taoist focused his consciousness on Cuilan, the protection of his main body would be reduced to the lowest level. Therefore, in order to protect his main body, the Poisonous Taoist specially found someone to learn a lot of knowledge about formations.

Later, he found that he had no talent in this area, so he poisoned his teacher and inherited an ancient formation disk left by his master.

Even his master hadn't figured out the principle behind the array, but not understanding the principle didn't prevent him from using it. Once the array was activated, the cave where he was was hidden by a force, and he could then safely focus his consciousness on the puppet.

Cuilan... Forget it, let's just call her the Poisonous Taoist.

Taoist Poisonous had some understanding of battle formations and could see that what Cheng Hui had set up was a typical maze.

He had previously learned through investigation that there were two Jindan cultivators living here. If he was given enough time, he could infect these two people silently and turn them into puppets. However, at this time, the other party had already started to retreat and break through. The place of retreat must be well guarded, and he had no confidence in being able to break through.

Taoist Duye pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

I was careless!

He thought Li Dongting was a mortal, and the two Jindan cultivators were in seclusion, so there was no way he could escape from his clutches.

But who could have imagined that when those two people were in seclusion, they actually created a maze at the outermost part of their retreat?

What a psycho!

For something as important as a breakthrough in seclusion, who wouldn't want to use a magic circle that is as powerful as possible?

A maze? What the hell!

Taoist Du'e was puzzled.

However, even a maze with almost no lethality can be controlled. Taoist Du'e was not sure whether Cheng Hui and the others had started the breakthrough process, so he was still a little afraid to go in.

The magic circle is something that will change.

The maze of the previous second may turn into a dangerous killing array with just a slight frame skip.

Taoist Du'e was unwilling to enter such a dangerous place.

But when he thought that Li Dongting was the only person who met the requirements he had found in the past few years, he really didn't want to give up.

If he missed Li Dongting, where could he find someone born in a yin year, a yang month, a yin day, and a yang hour?

Helplessly, Taoist Du had no choice but to rush in, hoping to catch Li Dongting before his master discovered him.

Just like that, when Cheng Hui was adjusting his body and mind and preparing to break through, he suddenly felt that there were two more people in the outermost maze.

Cheng Hui: ???

He clearly reminded Li Dongting not to let anyone get close, okay?

As the host of the maze, he knows everything about it clearly.

Li Dongting came in, looking very flustered. Then a young maid came in, seemingly looking for Li Dongting.

Cheng Hui: ...

Is this... a scene where a girl pursues a boy and confesses her love to him?

Cheng Hui's mouth twitched, and he deleted his unreliable idea. He knew that Li Dongting would not hide in the maze just because of a relationship, so the girl who followed him in later was obviously very problematic.

Cheng Hui looked at the maid and felt that she looked familiar. After a little recollection, he remembered her name.

Green orchid.

He remembered that Cuilan was a very shy girl who usually worked in the kitchen. He had met her a few times occasionally, and every time she lowered her head, she seemed very embarrassed.

Could it be that this little girl is someone else's spy?

Cheng Hui didn't think so. This little girl had it all written directly on her face. Who would use someone like this as a spy?

Don't say that her acting is good. Even if he can't see it, he doesn't believe that Lin Qingyang can't see it. If Lin Qingyang saw it, then this little girl would not appear in the manor and would have been driven away long ago.

Cheng Hui still has some confidence in this. When it comes to his own safety, Lin Qingyang will definitely kill without mercy.

Cheng Hui's mind moved, and the maze slowly changed. Unknowingly, the distance between Li Dongting and Cui Lan was widened.

Lin Qingyang, who was practicing dual cultivation with him, naturally noticed this movement. He opened his eyes, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Someone broke in."

"Who?" Lin Qingyang's voice was cold.

Breaking in while a monk is in retreat is a provocation no matter what the reason.

There is nothing wrong with the retreat monk taking action to kill.

"I don't know him. I'll let Li Dongting in and ask him first." Cheng Hui still has a very high degree of trust in Li Dongting.

Lin Qingyang hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better not to."

Cheng Hui was stunned: "Not really."

Lin Qingyang shook his head: "How do you know if Li Dongting is under someone's control? Or if he has something hidden on him?"

Cheng Hui: ...

Well, he really wasn't sure.

The main reason is that there are too many strange skills in the world of cultivation, and Li Dongting is just an ordinary person. If he is controlled by someone, it would be very difficult to detect.

"Then I'll ask first and not let him come over for the time being." Cheng Hui immediately changed his approach.

Lin Qingyang agreed.

Cheng Hui contacted Li Dongting in the maze and learned from him that Cuilan had turned into a monster.

Cheng Hui: ...I have so many MMPs to say in my heart.

Okay, no matter whether Li Dongting is controlled by someone or not, Cui Lan is definitely the enemy.

Not long after the Taoist Poisonous Taoist, who was wearing the green orchid skin, came in, he noticed the changes in the maze and immediately realized that the two Jindan monks should not have started the process of breakthrough.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is that the fact that they haven't started yet means that the heavenly tribulation will not come for the time being, and he will not be easily dragged into it; the bad thing is that the two Jindan cultivators can give up their breakthrough at any time and run out to deal with him, then he probably won't be able to take Li Dongting away.

Li Dongting is very important to the Poison Taoist. A few years ago, he accidentally dug up the tomb of an ancient demon cultivator, and a special secret method was hidden in the tomb.

As long as 49 people with special birth dates are processed using secret refining methods, a poisonous person with infinite power can be created.

For so many years, the most worrying thing for the Poison Taoist was that his true form would be discovered. There was no other way, as his true form was affected by the poison and was extremely fragile. He had to be extremely careful when using it on a daily basis, as he could be seriously injured if he wasn't careful.

It can be said that the fragility of his body is his biggest shortcoming. Once this shortcoming is made up for, the Poisonous Taoist will not only be invincible in the world of cultivation, but will definitely become a hero who dominates one side.

He has collected forty-eight people with special birth characters, fourteen yin and fourteen yang, but he is missing Li Dongting, who is a person with a mixture of yin and yang.

In order to find someone who meets the requirements, I almost traveled all over the Xixuan Dynasty. It took a lot of effort to find one. Now I don’t know how long it will take to find the next one.

Taoist Du'e hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to capture Li Dongting first.

He felt that Li Dongting was just a mortal, and the two Jindan cultivators might not necessarily fall out with him for a mortal.

"My two fellow Taoists, I, the Taoist Du'e, am honored to meet you. I only need Li Dongting. If you two Taoists are willing to let me go, I will leave immediately and will never stay." Taoist Du'e said this with confidence.

He believed that as long as these two people had heard of his reputation and knew how difficult he was to deal with, they would definitely choose to send Li Dongting to him.

After all, it's a very cost-effective thing.

But what he didn't expect was that neither Cheng Hui nor Lin Qingyang had ever heard of the name of the Poisonous Taoist.

The main reason is that the cultivators they usually come into contact with the most are from Baiyujing, and these cultivators are all under the command of the Xixuan Dynasty. They definitely don't have a good impression of the evil cultivator like Poison Taoist who harms ordinary people and always comes in huge numbers.

When chatting normally, who would have the time to mention such an unlucky person?

If they had enough time to communicate, they might have mentioned him once or twice. Unfortunately, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang were both homebodies and had little contact with local cultivators, so they didn't know the name of the Poison Taoist.

This... is very embarrassing...╮(￣▽￣\")╭

After the Taoist Poisonous Evil finished speaking, he waited for a long time with full confidence, but received no reply.

Cheng Hui said that he was also confused. Although he didn't know the Poisonous Taoist, he felt that he was not a good person just by hearing his name. The other party also had such a confident look, as if saying, "You guys made a fortune by using an ordinary person to get rid of me." Cheng Hui could guess with his toes that this was probably a powerful enemy.

It's impossible to give it to someone else. Not in this lifetime.

Cheng Hui could never accept using innocent people's lives to protect himself from disaster.

So the question is, what should you do when you face a powerful enemy that will not tolerate compromise?

Cheng Hui didn't know what others did, but he took advantage of the time when the man was silent to activate all the magic arrays and enveloped the poisonous Taoist in layers of magic arrays.

Taoist Du'e waited for a while, but didn't get a satisfactory answer, so he snorted in dissatisfaction. He wanted to go out and teach these two people a lesson, but he walked out of the maze and stepped into the illusion array.

Poisonous Taoist: ...

Wait, he remembered that there was a gate outside the maze, so how could it suddenly turn into an illusion?

He immediately took a step back and wanted to re-enter the maze.

But... he stepped into the killing array again.

Poisonous Taoist:!!!

The killing array is not as peaceful as the maze. The enemy will start attacking as soon as they enter. A large amount of thunder will condense in the sky, comparable to a small natural disaster.

The soil on the ground rolled, and the swamp was reborn, delaying the enemy's progress.

Flames gushed out in front of him, cold wind blades shone on his left, and the cold air was rampant on his right. Even behind him, layers of sword mountains appeared, blocking his retreat.

Poisonous Taoist: ...

Taoist Duye couldn't help but curse, and also greeted Cheng Hui's parents.

Cheng Hui said, you can curse me as much as you want, but if you refute me, I lose!
