Chapter 480: Refining the Heart

“Roar~~~”

A roar that tore the sky came from the foot of the mountain, and then the river surged, and huge waves dozens of feet high surged in the Bailong River, rolling towards the Bailong Mountain, as if a dragon was going to flood the Bailong Mountain.

"Bang!"

In the river, a dragon's tail hit the purple lightning and green frost formation heavily, and a deafening roar suddenly erupted.

"not good!"

At the foot of the mountain, countless members of the Xu family were horrified and many children were crying loudly with fear.

“Don’t panic!”

On the top of the mountain, Ning Daoran floated over and cast spells continuously. Suddenly, a fourth-order lower-grade Kunpeng echo formation appeared inside the purple lightning and blue frost formation. Just after the Nascent Soul stage green dragon broke the purple lightning and blue frost formation, a Kunpeng Dharma image swirled in the formation. A real formation had already risen up, protecting the entire mountain! "The mountain master is here!"

Xu Jian was very happy.

"A strong enemy is coming, all of you should hide in the cave."

"yes!"

Xu Jian hurriedly led his clansmen to the cave.

Ning Daoran put one hand behind his back, a smile on his face: "Fellow Daoist Xuan Gu, how are you?"

Within the water curtain, a figure appeared above the head of the Nascent Soul Green Dragon. It was Xuan Gu Zhenren. He smiled calmly, "Fellow Daoist Qiu Shui is indeed amazing. He even has this fourth-order inferior formation. It seems that I still need to spend some effort to take off your head and avenge Senior Shi Gu. It's a pity that such a proud person as you is destined to perish here today."

"It's too early for you to speak, buddy."

Ning Daoran smiled faintly, and as he raised his hand, strands of golden swords broke through the air and headed straight for the Nascent Soul Green Dragon. Under the protection of the Kunpeng Echo Formation, it was not impossible for him to fight this Nascent Soul monster.

…

"Young Master!"

A figure floated down, it was Xiaobai: "The formation on the side of the back mountain is being attacked. Zhou Yao led the Blood Demon Sect's coffin bearers to turn against them. There are a lot of them, at least tens of thousands."

"Huh, I've been waiting for him for a long time."

Ning Daoran raised his eyebrows: "Old Deer, Little Blackie, go and destroy the Blood Demon Sect!"

“Ahhh~~”

"Yes, Brother Ran!"

Not long after, there was a sudden rumbling sound from deep within the earth, followed by wisps of blood-red mist rising up, constantly changing in the air, and soon transformed into a large formation formed by countless blood-red vines and sharp claws that enveloped Ning Daoran and Xiaobai.

The Nine Yin Soul Gathering Formation was finally activated.

"Young Master!"

Xiaobai frowned, and was about to use his true form to break the formation.

“No hurry.”

Ning Daoran sent a voice message: "The real master will be out soon."

As if to confirm his words, a figure appeared by the river and stood side by side with Master Xuan Gu. It was Jiang Shangyue.

“Master…”

Jiang Shangyue pursed her red lips, holding the jade talisman of the formation in her hand, and walked forward with a tide. As she walked, her clothes kept falling off, and her face and figure also changed drastically. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a demon fairy with a beautiful face but eyes full of hatred. The corners of her mouth curled up and she sneered, "You probably didn't expect that there would be a day when you would be so deserted by your friends and relatives, right?"

Ning Daoran frowned and quickly got into character: "I took you in at Bailong Mountain and accepted you as my disciple. I taught you advanced skills and used exquisite foundation-building pills to help you build your foundation, but I didn't expect you to betray me!"

"So what?"

Mu Yue gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "You killed my mentor, Master Shigu Zhenjun, and cut off the foundation of my great path. This hatred is irreconcilable. Although I have been by your side for ten years, I wish I could chop you into pieces day and night!"

"Who are you?"

“Hahahaha~~~”

Mu Yue raised her head and laughed: "I am Fairy Mu Yue, the chief disciple of Master Shigu! Mr. Ning, you didn't expect that, did you? This Nine Yin Soul Gathering Formation is the burial place that I, your disciple, have prepared for you. It is worth our relationship as master and disciple!"

"Fairy Mutsuki!"

Xuan Gu Zhenren narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't waste any more time talking to this man. Quickly activate the formation to drain his soul. I will control the Yuanying Jiaolong to break through the formation. Together, you and I will completely flatten this White Dragon Mountain!"

"That's great!"

Mu Yue quickly inputted a spell into the Nine Yin Soul Gathering Formation, and immediately the entire formation began to operate, turning that area into a hell on earth.

"well……"

Ning Daoran smiled helplessly: "You asked for this, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

As he spoke, a large blue dragon appeared in his hand, fiercely smashing the Nine Yin Soul Gathering Formation. At the same time, he raised his left hand and threw out a fourth-level inferior forbidden-breaking talisman! Amid the roar, how could a third-level inferior formation withstand the attack of a fourth-level forbidden-breaking talisman? In just a moment, the formation was torn into several pieces, and the formation flags and formation plates underground continued to explode and shatter! "Oh no, this person actually has a fourth-level forbidden-breaking talisman!"

Xuan Gu Zhenren was horrified: "Fairy Mu Yue, hurry up!"

But it was too late.

In the blink of an eye, Ning Daoran had already removed the Kunpeng Echo Array and appeared above Xuan Gu Zhenren with a spear in hand. The next moment, the spear light burst down!

"you!"

Under the terrifying air compression and breath suppression, Xuan Gu Zhenren's face was twisted wildly, and he hurriedly sacrificed a bone shield to resist Ning Daoran's attack! With a loud noise, the third-level medium-grade magic bone shield was vibrated and hummed, and Xuan Gu Zhenren was even more shaken by the terrifying power of the twenty-four layers of the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra.

"not good!"

Just as he turned around to escape, he saw a beam of blood piercing through the void and instantly coming to his neck.

It was a short knife, emitting the aura of a low-grade spiritual treasure!

He would never have thought that the other party actually had a spiritual treasure!

After a slight sound, the evil dragon fang swept past and completed the beheading. The next moment, Xuan Gu Zhenren's body fell limply to the ground.

Moreover, at the moment when Xuan Gu Zhenren was killed, the Nascent Soul stage Green Dragon corpse under his feet also let out a wail, and fell into the rolling river together with him, and died together! "Oh?"

Ning Daoran was slightly surprised, but everything became clear to him in an instant.

In the Eastern Wilderness world of immortal cultivation, there are many kinds of contracts signed with spirit beasts.

Some are shallow contracts. After the master dies, the spirit beast can still live for many years and can recognize the master again.

Some are deep contracts, which bind the soul of the master and the spirit beast for better control. Once the master dies, the spirit beast will die with him.

Therefore, the ancestors of those immortal cultivation families and sects often sign shallow contracts, so that after their lifespans are exhausted, the spirit beasts can still survive and become mountain guardian spirit beasts, guarding their descendants for many years.

However, the demonic cultivators like Xuan Gu Zhenren are more selfish and extreme, and they sign deep contracts with the monsters.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It’s easy to understand. If I’m dead, what’s the point of you still being alive?

So, this Nascent Soul stage demon dragon didn't need Ning Daoran to do anything at all, and it just followed its master.

…

"ah!?"

In the distance, the river is flowing.

The water threads fell from the sky and landed on Mu Yue's face, making her beautiful face even more moving.

At this moment, she was stunned. She had been plotting and planning for more than ten years, but now it was completely shattered in an instant. The opponent's strength was far beyond her imagination, and it seemed that the opponent had been prepared and was not unaware of her plan.

"So you..." Mutsuki gritted his teeth.

"That's right."

Ning Daoran held up the big blue dragon and said calmly, "From the first day you came up the mountain, I knew you were Mu Yue. I spared your life just to see what you wanted to do. Now it seems that I was wrong. I should have killed you on the first day you came up the mountain. After all, all your plans now seem so insignificant."

"you……"

Mu Yue gritted her teeth, her eyes gradually softened, letting the water soak her body. She looked at Ning Daoran with tears in her eyes and said, "Master, can you really bear to kill me?"

"Don't try that."

Ning Daoran's eyebrows lit up! "Ah?!"

Mutsuki's mind went blank for a moment.

When she woke up, Ning Daoran had already placed one finger on her forehead. With a little strength, a ray of Jianjia sword energy pierced through her and directly crushed Mu Yue's brain! Everything was so simple.

Ning Daoran frowned and looked at the corpse of the early Nascent Soul stage green dragon corpse that was floating eastward along the river. Its fur, scales, bones, etc. had been contaminated by ghost energy and were no longer top-quality materials for refining talisman paper, but its demon pill could be used.

"Xiaobai, go get the demon pill back."

"Yes, sir!"

Xiaobai floated away.

Ning Daoran raised his hand and held Mu Yue's body in his hand.

…

“Master…”

Below, Xu Zhongyao's eyes were filled with shock. She looked at Mu Yue's body with tears in her eyes: "Junior Sister Jiang, she..."

"That's right."

Ning Daoran said calmly, "She is not Jiang Shangyue, but the Saintess of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, Fairy Mu Yue, and the direct disciple of the Bone Erosion Demon. She sneaked into Bailong Mountain this time to seek revenge for the Bone Erosion Demon. I know you have a deep relationship with her, but the fact is that her purpose in going up the mountain is to kill me, do you understand?"

"I see……"

Xu Zhongyao held her tears in her eyes, clasping her skirts tightly with both hands, and said softly, "It's just...it's just that I still can't believe that she would be like this..."

"What is this?"

Ning Daoran said: "The cruelty of the immortal world is far beyond your imagination. Such hidden things are just common. Zhong Yao, you must remember that this is the first step in your heart training."

"Yes, Master..."

Not long after, Big Dumb Deer and Little Blackie returned.

A great victory.

Xiao Heizi transformed into a young man in black, holding the body of a strong man in his hand. It was Zhou Yao, the leader of the Blood Demon Sect. It seemed that his neck was twisted apart. Xiao Heizi's killing method was extraordinary.

“Ahhh~~~”

The big stupid deer shouted, indicating that the matter had been settled and there was no need to worry, brother.

"Old deer!"

Ning Daoran lifted up Mu Yue's body and slowly rose into the air, saying, "We have stayed in Bailong Mountain for thirty years, and it is time to leave. Get ready. We will recast the Autumn Water Sword on the cliff, and on this Double Ninth Festival, we will use the newly recast Autumn Water Sword to pay tribute to the spirit of Junior Sister Han Bing in heaven!"
