The little tree demon Wen Yu from the Spring God Hall accidentally trespassed into the Hall of Talents and inadvertently damaged the Immortal Tree, harming a mortal's longevity branch - causing...
Chapter 254: First Release of "Caged Flowers and Caged Cranes". ...
An emperor who appeared out of nowhere, with nothing more than an appearance very similar to Song Linsheng, is actually worthy of Wen Yu's life-threatening protection?
Yu Chang took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress the nameless anger rising from his internal organs. The anger made his breathing uneven and difficult to smooth out.
He was almost mad with jealousy.
Faint scales and horns appeared from the strands of hair in front of his head, and bursts of silvery light flickered. The flickering colors made him look even more unfathomable.
Chen Zhizhi swallowed his saliva and looked around, not knowing what to do as he was stuck between Yu Chang and Wen Yu.
"Aunt." Chen Zhizhi put one hand behind his back and carefully pulled Wen Yu's sleeve, "Aunt..."
Wen Yu suddenly came back to her senses when Chen Zhizhi whispered a reminder. Almost at the same moment, she immediately let go of her hand and turned her back to Taihao.
Her clothes fluttered and her body turned around. The moment Wen Yu raised her eyes, she was facing Yu Chang with gloomy eyes.
Seeing the silver light flickering on his forehead, Wen Yu felt something was wrong and quickly walked forward and covered Yu Chang's hair with her hands.
"Yu Chang, are you okay?"
Over the past few hundred years, Wen Yu had already figured out some of Yu Chang's habits, including the fact that his demonic power was too strong, he was restless, and especially when he was furious, he could not hide his true self.
Wen Yu comforted him softly, patting the hair on his forehead.
If left alone, Yu Chang's breathtaking horns would grow out in no time.
"You." Yu Chang looked directly at Wen Yu, then lowered his eyes, "I..."
Wen Yu's palm was slightly warm, which softened his cold scales and made them retreat obediently under his skin.
As her sleeves fluttered, he could even smell the scent of jasmine, which was Wen Yu's favorite.
Yu Chang paused, it seemed that Wen Yu didn't need to say anything more. As long as she walked towards him, like now, his wild heart would return to peace, and even the raging waves would stop in an instant.
"It'll be alright." Wen Yu whispered soothingly. A faint green light flowed from his palm, entangled with Yu Chang's silver light, and then dissipated together. "Yu Chang."
Yu Chang was tall, and at the moment he was leaning down to facilitate Wen Yu's movements, "Hmm."
He is the one who can stand beside Wen Yu.
Slightly raising his eyelids, Yu Chang looked over Wen Yu's shoulder and looked back - the Emperor Taihao was standing in the same place, looking towards him at the moment - a sinister look flashed across Yu Chang's eyes.
As if sensing something, Dan Qing returned Yu Chang's sharp eyes. The scales on the dragon's back shone, and it flashed and stood in front of Tai Hao, confronting Yu Chang.
Tai Hao's expression remained calm as he raised his eyes to signal Dan Qing to leave.
He didn't take the little white dragon's hostility to heart.
Tai Hao's eyes were calm as he just watched Wen Yu's actions quietly.
It wasn't until the silver light gradually faded away that Wen Yu finally felt relieved. She knew that this meant that Yu Chang was calm and peaceful and would not lose control.
However, Yu Chang has had this problem for a long time, and she had previously suspected that it was due to the Dingyuan Lock.
The Dingyuan Lock condenses the soul and suppresses magic power. Wearing it for a long time may affect Yu Chang's cultivation.
Moreover, as time went by, Yu Chang's demonic power became stronger and stronger, and his Taoism gradually improved. This was completely contrary to the effectiveness of the Dingyuan Lock, so it was not surprising that it made him difficult to control.
She had persuaded Yu Chang several times to take off the Dingyuan lock, but for some reason he always turned a blind eye and refused, and even treasured it very much.
Wen Yu patted Yu Chang's forehead, then withdrew his hand and waved his sleeves, and stopped Yu Chang behind him. His scrutinizing eyes passed over him and looked towards the other side of the rock wall.
Yu Chang lowered his head and said nothing. He did not rush to resist Wen Yu's arrangement, which was very different from his usual style of always rushing to the front. Instead, he could not suppress the curl of his lips.
Following Wen Yu's gaze——
There was a large human-shaped hole on the broken rock wall, and all around it were sharp spikes made of silver-white hair, with a little cold light at the end, which were deeply nailed into various places.
It can be seen how strong Yu Chang’s counterattack was.
Further down, the last sharp tip nailed the rock wall and also nailed a little guest who was trying to escape.
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the fox that was in a miserable state with its tail nailed. Its previous elegance and charm disappeared, and now only two bags of tears and a bunch of snot bubbles were left.
She had said earlier that this silver-embryoed jade snail would still be useful.
Now is the time to settle the score with this white-haired fox!
Wen Yu held the silver-embedded jade snail in his hand and tossed it around casually, his eyes leisurely scanning the fox that was holding its tail up and down and left and right.
"Hmm..." She pondered, considering where to begin her interrogation. "You sly fellow—"
Unexpectedly, he plotted against her and her group time and time again. She didn't know why, it was simply... incomprehensible.
Thinking back to their original intention, she and Yu Chang just wanted to ask some questions, but who told him to trap Zhizhi here and then run away on his own?
Putting aside his thoughts, Wen Yu said seriously:
"What is your name, where is your cave, what school of thought did you follow, and who are your parents?"
In the silent cave, there was no sound except the dripping of water and no one responded.
The white-haired fox hugged its huge tail, the dense fur on it almost covering most of its body, and spots of crimson oozed from the tip.
He was obviously seriously injured.
Wen Yu frowned, a little reluctant. Although the little fox was a bit cunning, he hadn't done anything wicked. He only waited for her to ask a few questions before healing him.
Wen Yu asked.
The fox's shoulders shrank, as if frightened. He tried hard to speak in a trembling voice, trying not to appear timid. "I, I have no comment."
Although Wen Yu expected this answer, she was not satisfied. She tilted her head and stared at the fox for a moment, thinking about how to pry open the fox's clever mouth.
All the people present had profound Taoism and unfathomable cultivation. Chen Zhizhi, who was standing aside, glanced around and suddenly felt a little unsure.
This stinky fox, it would be fine if he just did some minor things, but why did he have to stab people in the back and make trouble behind their backs!
Right now she didn't know how to plead with her aunt.
Chen Zhizhi saw that the situation was not good, and the red blood on the fox's tail continued to flow, making her anxious and angry. She quickly joined in, "Just tell the truth when I tell you to. Why are you being so stubborn?"
As soon as these words came out, the fox's originally dim eyes suddenly lit up. After spinning around twice, he said, "Confess! I confess!"
Unexpectedly, he agreed so readily. Chen Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, and even Wen Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Yu Chang beside him.
Yu Chang remained silent, feeling amused, and just shook his head indifferently.
"But I'm only saying this to you, do you agree?" Seeing that Chen Zhizhi had no reaction, the fox could only persuade and deceive people.
Chen Zhizhi reacted, and although he looked reluctant, he immediately agreed, "As long as you explain yourself properly, nothing will happen."
As he spoke, Chen Zhizhi raised his foot and walked towards the fox.
Seeing her hurried back, Wen Yu smiled helplessly. Although Zhizhi and her mother were related by blood, their temperaments were very different.
Yu Chang brushed off the non-existent dust on his sleeves, glanced at the white-haired fox with suspicion, but said nothing.
The fox clan is cunning, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
"That's the best. Thank you very much." The fox laughed wildly, showing off his white teeth. "Fellow Daoist Chen."
Chen Zhizhi's face tightened, and she walked to the front of the fox in a blink of an eye. After hearing what he said, her eyes moved around and she gave the fox a cold look.
"Put away your coquettish look." Wen Yu said calmly and joked seriously.
I don’t know whose tail is still nailed, and I have forgotten what day it is.
"How can I deceive this innocent little Taoist if I put it away?" The fox's eyes changed, and he immediately clamped Chen Zhizhi's arms with both hands. "What do you say, Immortal? Is it true or not?"
His smiling eyes were narrowed and his teeth were sharp, and for a moment the face of a fox was faintly visible between his facial features.
Mysterious and dangerous.
Then he took out something from his waist and raised his sleeve to attack Wen Yu and his group.
"What..." Chen Zhizhi was caught off guard and struggled to resist, "What are you doing?"
The fox's eyes turned and quickly swept over Chen Zhizhi, then raised his eyes and looked directly at Wen Yu opposite him, even flicking his tongue provocatively, but did not answer Chen Zhizhi's question.
Faced with the sudden change, Wen Yu's eyes fixed and he immediately prepared to take action.
Although the fox's cultivation level was not very high, she was afraid that if it had any bad intentions towards Zhizhi, it would be detrimental to Zhizhi.
Yu Chang's deep gaze revealed no emotion. He just glanced at the fox indifferently and sighed faintly.
"That move just now is called 'Sudden Rain and Gale'. You're quite capable if you can dodge it."
The fox held Chen Zhizhi with one hand and turned his wrist with the other hand to control the red light. It expanded rapidly in the air, like a huge net, almost trying to cover Wen Yu and the others.
"But I won't fight you this time. I'll show you my 'Flowers Caged Crane' formation."
There was probably no chance of winning in a head-on fight, so the only option now was to use the formation to hold these people back so that he could escape with Xiaodao.
He was just teasing her originally and had no intention of trapping her here. But when he was hiding to watch the fun, that guy named Yu Chang caught him and now even injured him.
This minor injury was actually nothing to worry about; what was really hurt was his dignity and his dignity!
Especially in front of this little Taoist, he was completely humiliated!
Thinking of this, the fox's face flushed and he looked at the people opposite him angrily.
Wen Yu looked up and saw a red umbrella-like formation falling rapidly from above his head, almost covering all of them, even Dan Qing's dragon.
Flowers in the cage and cranes in the cage.
Judging from the name, this formation traps people and makes it impossible to escape.
Wen Yu's thoughts were in a tizzy as he pondered over how to solve this formation.
She was originally a plant spirit, and was good at healing. Even after she ascended to become an immortal, she still specialized in this art.
Therefore, I have not learned much about formations.
Directly break through the front or enter the formation personally. Just as Wen Yu was hesitating, a moon-white figure suddenly turned over.
No one could see clearly how Taihao moved. They only saw the shadows of the clouds under his feet overlapping, and he blocked Wen Yu almost in an instant.
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
Tai Hao's usually calm eyes turned towards the white-haired fox, a complex expression hidden in them flashing across his face. Then, without even glancing at the crimson umbrella-like net above his head, he casually flicked his sleeves.
Immediately, the underground undercurrents all around surged up, and the dark water column tore the red umbrella cover into pieces.
In just a blink of an eye, Tai Hao directly broke through the so-called caged crane of flowers, and then the huge waves that burst out scattered in all directions. Dan Qing, who was waiting on the side, immediately followed and blocked the water flow for Wen Yu and his group.
But the fox was not treated in this way.
Tai Hao frowned and said nothing, looking indifferently at the fox that was holding Chen Zhizhi hostage.
Repeated assassinations, multiple attacks...
The accumulated waves branched off from Taihao's side and instantly turned into countless icicles, their tips extremely sharp, revealing a dazzling cold light.
Arrows made of ice were aimed at the fox's eyebrows.
Compared with the minor tricks the fox had just used, this one was much more powerful and dangerous.
And the other party obviously realized this.
"Let's talk it over." The fox shrank his neck and asked weakly, choking on his words: "You...what are you doing?"
Tai Hao lowered his eyes and looked at his fingertips silently, ignoring the fox's show of weakness.
It's just a cover-up of wrongdoing.
As Tai Hao bent his fingertips inch by inch, the expression on his face did not change at all, still so cold and indifferent.
Wen Yu turned sideways to glance at the huge and majestic green dragon next to her. This was the first time she had observed his appearance so closely.
Before, in Zhuoying Palace, she and Chi Huang had only glanced at each other from a distance.
Now it looks like its scales are shining and it looks majestic.
But this admiration did not last long, and Wen Yu suddenly felt a chill and turned to look at Emperor Taihao who was blocking her way.
With an immortal demeanor and extraordinary temperament, he is like a cedar tree isolated from the world, unafraid of the severe frost, standing alone in the mountains.
Wen Yu frowned, and a slightly scrutinizing gaze crept up the man's neck.
This Emperor Tai Hao seems to like standing in front of her?
