"Seal all of these people's sea of qi and sea of consciousness, break their bones and veins, and drain their muscles and disrupt their souls. We must not give them even a single chance!"
"All medical practitioners and rune masters stay and find a way to untie these ropes."
In fact, Mu Zheshu didn't need to say anything, the other elders of the Mu family had already rushed forward.
One by one, branches emitting a unique yang aura pierced into the bodies of these demon cultivators, instantly turning them from their sleeping state into hedgehogs.
These longevity peach branches would not kill them, but they would hit their vital points, completely blocking the flow of their spiritual energy, making it almost impossible for it to flow through on its own.
Coupled with the several wires piercing their heads, these demon cultivators couldn't even wake up under such circumstances.
As long as we control them and then study them slowly, we will be able to untie this ring-knotted vine sooner or later.
"Master, what about these people? What should we do?"
A high-ranking member of the Mu family pointed to a group of casual cultivators who had also fallen not far away.
They were guests of the Mu family before. Regardless of whether they chose to join the Mu family in the end, they would have a good relationship.
But after the incident, the group of independent cultivators naturally became the least trusted group.
No one cared about them, they were all innocent. They were arrested on the spot and put under strict supervision.
They had all drunk a lot of peach blossom wine before, so naturally they all drank it now.
This story tells us not to drink other people's alcohol.
"Seal the Qi Sea, and then search my soul!"
"No need to hold back, check them carefully one by one, and don't let any suspicious person escape!"
It is hard to say whether the method of soul searching conforms to the default moral standards in the world of immortal cultivation.
The mortality rate alone was as high as 50% at one point. This method was usually only used by demon cultivators, but in fact, these large sects might have used it less often in secret.
The few evil cultivators just now were hiding among the casual cultivators, and no one could guarantee whether there were any hidden enemies among them.
The Mu family, which has been completely enraged, will no longer care about this "small detail".
Although doing so might lead to rumors in the world of immortal cultivation that the Mu family had murdered their guests, causing their reputation over the years to be damaged to a certain extent.
But the accident this time was serious, so we would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.
"Master, something happened in the forbidden area."
We had just barely finished this, and something happened over there again.
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong battle wave broke out in the core area.
There really are people who are bold enough to attack their core holy land! A group of masters immediately abandoned this place and rushed towards the place where Pantao Patriarch was.
"Keep an eye on them, and the rest of you follow me!"
Most of the monks who stayed behind went to study ways to rescue their own children.
As for the rest, these independent cultivators will be thrown into the Mu family’s dungeon.
They controlled the independent cultivators by using the same method of inserting longevity peach tree branches, but the depth was slightly shallower so as not to directly pierce the qi sea and cut off the meridians.
But some damage is unavoidable.
With a snap.
A longevity peach branch pierced Jiang Li's lower abdomen, and the front end of the branch broke directly, making a slight sound.
Obviously, it is not easy to break through Jiang Li's defense, even if he is not actively defending now.
However, Jiang Li still contracted his muscles in time, forming a depression on his body surface to clamp the branch and prevent it from being exposed after tilting or falling.
With the addition of a layer of Tushan and Shushan's mixed illusion, this abnormality was completely concealed, and neither the cultivator who took action nor the master standing aside to maintain order noticed it.
Jiang Li lay on the ground, not moving, allowing them to tie him up, pile him on a wooden rack, and push him towards the Mu family's prison area.
There are still two cultivators at the Divine Transformation level guarding here, so we cannot act rashly for the time being.
Jiang Li waited until the surrounding environment became dark and damp before he quietly opened his eyes.
There didn't seem to be any strong presence nearby, and there weren't many guards.
The Qi Hai point and seven major acupoints around the body were "pierced" with longevity peach tree branches with sealing runes.
The Mu family might be very confident in the means of control over them, so no experts followed them into the dungeon.
Soon, all the wandering cultivators were thrown in here.
They still need to deal with more troublesome demon cultivators, so they can't take care of them for the time being.
After the last group of cultivators was thrown in, the two Mu family disciples who were in charge of escorting them were about to leave.
But at this moment, Jiang Li suddenly jumped out from the crowd.
The vines tied to his body loosened, and the branches hanging on his body fell off. Under the guidance of the illusion just now, the restraints on Jiang Li had no effect at all.
Two hand knives chopped their necks from behind. Two streams of nine ghost qi mixed with chaotic power rushed straight into their minds.
The two Mu family cultivators were of average strength and fainted without much resistance.
"What happened in there? Why don't you two come out?"
The people outside heard some noise, and the interrogator walked over here.
As a result, a figure approached them at a high speed from behind.
The two black hands struck the back of their heads at the same angle.
It was the fifth clone that ran out of the forbidden area. At this time, Mu Chunyang had changed into a new outfit to cover up the big hole in his chest.
"Brother Chunyang? What are we doing here?"
Mu Jingnan, who was beside him, had just barely recovered her ability to move. She was in a state of panic, not knowing why her brother came here.
"Jingnan, after this is over, you just say you don't know anything about it."
"You were just deceived. You didn't do anything, understand? Don't tell anyone anything no matter who asks you."
Mu Jingnan didn't know why this Sixth Brother said that.
But before she could react, he struck her with a knife and knocked her unconscious.
After entering, he handed everything over to Jiang Li, and he had completed his mission.
The question now is how to leave this troubled place.
At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly felt that the spiritual energy surrounding him seemed to have suddenly become much denser.
Even though he did not actively absorb it, the spiritual energy in the environment was actively moving towards him.
Jiang Li's mind moved, and the spiritual energy around him gathered, and a vibrant green plant grew in the palm of his hand.
He was very surprised by this, as he had not used a single bit of his own spiritual energy just now. When did the spiritual energy between heaven and earth become so obedient and reach this level?
Just a thought can be used by him, and he can even use it as a spell without any obstacles.
Moreover, the world around him became clearer before his eyes.
The differences in the subtle structures of the surrounding rocks and stones, and the orderly flow of spiritual energy within the formation on the cage, all these things that were previously invisible became observable before his eyes.
[Resist the invasion of the Shura Realm, receive the reward from the heaven and earth, and the blessing of merit (middle) will act on yourself. 】
[Blessing of Merit (Medium): Greatly increased affinity with heaven and earth, full recovery, enhanced talent, reduced spiritual energy consumption, reduced karma accumulation, reduced power of heavenly tribulation, increased breakthrough probability, blessing of low-level auspicious signs, weakened barrier of heaven and earth rhyme, enhanced comprehension, duration of 14 days] (-+)
It turned out that after half a month of accumulating merit points, his merit blessing status had finally been refreshed to a higher level.
All the effects are much stronger than Merit Blessing (Small), and there are a few more that increase the probability of realm breakthrough, a kind of auspicious sign, and the effect of weakening the barrier of the Dao rhyme of heaven and earth.
I can’t feel its specific effect for now.
But I think it shouldn't be bad.
But it is fortunate that the status advancement was completed at this time, otherwise the blood pool secretly built by the Yaksha clone would not be able to last for long.
The remaining crazy blood in the blood pool will be completely consumed in a day or two at most.
At this point in time, the space rift could no longer sustain and allow Jiang Li to continue to reach a high merit state.
There is no hope of refreshing the state of Merit Blessing, and continuing to open the space rift is just a meaningless waste of energy.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
But Jiang Li did not close it.
In case he is unable to leave here normally, this space rift will be his last retreat.
Leaving Mu Jingnan and the four unconscious monks together, Jiang Li, under the leadership of Mu Chunyang, began to rush out of the peach forest.
In the current Ten-Li Peach Forest, there is a guard post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps, and guards are on emergency patrol from time to time.
The blockade is extremely tight.
Fortunately, what Mu Chunyang did has not been exposed yet, and they can rely on the identity of the Sixth Young Master to create a time difference.
Jiang Li changed his appearance, put on the peach blossom attire of the Mu family's cultivators, and headed towards the outskirts of the peach forest under the leadership of Mu Chunyang.
"Sixth Young Master, the eldest young master said that no one can leave here without his order."
After passing two checkpoints by scanning their faces, they were finally stopped.
This is the dividing line between the Ten-Li Longevity Peach Forest and ordinary peach trees. After going out from here, the outer defense formation will be greatly weakened, and their chances of escaping will be higher.
But the person who stopped them was a cultivator from the school of the eldest son Mu Chunhao, who usually did not get along with them.
If some powerful elders came over at this time, they might not dare to stop them.
But since their target was Mu Chunyang, they had to create some trouble no matter what.
"Get out of the way! Don't you see who I am?"
Mu Chunyang scolded loudly with style.
"I'm sorry, Master Chunyang, the eldest master said that no one can leave."
The other party was very determined. The power of the eldest son could not suppress others, but he could suppress the sixth son.
"Mu Chunhao hasn't become the head of the family yet, what right does he have to restrict me?"
"I was doing something for my father and delayed something important. Can you take responsibility?"
Being stopped at this time, Jiang Li was weighing whether to take action or not. There shouldn't be many checkpoints after this place. If he kills his way through, he should have a chance of winning. "Sorry, Sixth Young Master. You can't go out."
After the monk who blocked the road refused again, he even raised the big knife at his waist this time.
"How dare you hold a knife against me? You are just a family servant, and this is treason! According to family rules, I can destroy you right now!"
"Who is so arrogant as to want to destroy my retainers?"
This guy Mu Chunhao, by some strange luck, happened to come here at this time.
"Sixth brother, why is he here instead of cultivating in the core secret place?"
"You want to leave Taolin at this time. Have you done something shameful?"
"The appearance of the demon cultivators within the family this time is strange. Sixth brother, hasn't your "mistress" been with them all the time? Could it be that you brought them into the Mu family?"
"I advise you to surrender and wait for your father's decision."
Mu Chunhao saw Mu Chunyang follow his father into the holy land to meet the ancestor.
Fearing that his position was threatened, he had been angry all day. Now that he had the chance, even without evidence, he would put the blame on this outstanding sixth brother.
"I've already said that I'm working for my father. If I delay things, you can't afford it!"
"This is a token from our ancestor. Who dares to stop me?"
As he spoke, he pulled out from his arms a peach leaf with a mysterious golden pattern on its surface.
Mu Chunhao was also shocked when he saw the leaf.
He had seen this leaf before, and it was undoubtedly the leaf from the ancestor's body.
Although the family seemed to have no precedent of using this kind of leaf as a token of trust, in an emergency, tearing off a leaf was enough to prove identity.
"Humph! You're lucky."
Mu Chunhao gritted his teeth, but still did not dare to disobey the orders of the ancestor and the head of the family. He ordered his men to make way.
Jiang Li, who was controlling Mu Chunyang, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Together with Mu Chunyang, he crossed the checkpoint and headed towards the outside world.
As long as we leave here, and then use the same trick again later, maybe we can leave here safely.
But no one knew whether his luck was good or bad. The sound of spiritual energy colliding from behind seemed to be getting closer and closer to them.
It was the Nine Netherwood from the cemetery, running towards them.
Despite being besieged by so many top monks, it was able to escape.
Is it the Reversal Field from Backshady Mountain? What a troublesome ability.
Coming over here, he came for those peaches!
Jiang Li quickly figured out the other party's purpose.
He was still thinking about snatching things at this time. He just wanted to yell, "Don't come over here!"
But at this moment he could not afford to hesitate too much, and no longer concealed his purpose. With the power of his feet exploding, he ran out with Mu Chunyang.
"Wait, they have a problem stop them!"
When Mu Chunhao saw this, he knew that the two of them were up to something, and quickly called for people to step forward and stop them.
But dozens of streaks of light chasing from behind had already arrived here in an instant.
Mu Zheshu's figure appeared above the black shadow, and a peach blossom sword finger shot out, directly hitting the Nine Nether Wood in the cemetery below.
His white cat body has been abandoned and now he has transformed into his true form, an old Taoist priest covered in wood textures.
There was a halo emanating from his body. After the peach blossom sword finger hit the halo, it remained stagnant for a moment before bouncing back along the same path.
However, his strength was not as good as that of the head of the Mu family. Even though he bounced back some of the attacks, he was still smashed to the ground by the irremovable impact force.
And the landing point is just near Jiang Li and his clone! (End of this chapter)
