Chapter 90 Black Corpse Temple
Half a day later, the speed of the flying boat began to decrease.
After a moment, the flying boat shook violently, and the huge tree roots pierced through the rocks and landed steadily on the ground.
"Let's go."
Chu Hongye said this and jumped down first.
The other three teams also separated, and the four teams went in four directions, completely blocking the space for those wandering cultivators to escape.
“Is this a formation?”
After getting off the flying boat, a group of disciples looked at the huge light curtain in front of them and couldn't help but show shock. They were still thinking before, after so many days, wouldn't those casual cultivators escape? Now it seems that the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect had a plan in advance. From the day of the incident, the formation of Xixia Market was activated, and all those who participated in the looting were locked in the formation.
"Each market has its own defensive formation. As a subordinate market of our sect, Xixia Market has naturally arranged a similar defensive formation. These casual cultivators know nothing about formations and are simply courting death."
Chu Hongye led a group of people to the entrance of the market town.
There were people waiting here early.
"Greetings, Immortal Master!"
A group of guards from the market town saw Chu Hongye and others coming down from the flying boat, and they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.
These people are ordinary people trained in the market town. They have no spiritual roots and have only learned some martial arts.
It was OK against ordinary people, but not so good in front of immortal cultivators. If they didn't fight head-on, a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining could kill them all.
"All of them are at the Bone Tempering Realm, and there are three Grandmasters as well."
Chen Luo followed Chu Hongye and felt for the first time the strict hierarchy of this world.
No wonder those people are trying their best to send their children to the Shenhu Immortal Gate. In this world, people with spiritual roots and those without spiritual roots live in two different worlds.
"lead the way."
Chu Hongye, the team leader, no longer had the gentleness she had with her fellow disciples. In front of these people, she seemed like a different person, cold as ice.
"This way, please."
Upon hearing this, the old man in the lead quickly stood up and ran to the front, starting to lead the way for everyone.
With their identity tokens, the group entered the formation range one after another. After entering, Chen Luo clearly felt that the air around him was much hotter and filled with a faint smell of blood.
Although the areas outside where ordinary people live have returned to normal, the emotions after the chaos can still be felt.
Unrest and fear are spreading.
The survivors hid inside the house and watched them secretly through the crack in the door.
'The Immortal Master of Shenhu Xianmen has arrived, and the problem is solved!'
This was the propaganda they had heard a few days ago.
For these ordinary people living in the market town, the immortal master of Shenhu Immortal Gate is their hope.
A group of people walked on the quiet street.
The houses on both sides were in ruins, and several areas were burned out. The dark pits told of the previous riots.
Chu Hongye, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
"Get out of here."
The next moment.
Chu Hongye suddenly turned around, her figure turned into a purple light, and she slapped a house beside her.
A dark purple light flashed, and then a loud bang was heard.
boom!!
The house exploded and three figures jumped out from it.
One of them casually threw a handful of lime, and the other two opened their mouths and spurted out two fireballs, one on the left and one on the right. In just a blink of an eye, Chu Hongye went from being the attacker to being the one being attacked.
It all happened in a flash.
From the time Chu Hongye took action to the time these three people suddenly attacked, it only took two or three breaths of time.
"die!"
Chu Hongye's face was cold and she stood there without moving at all.
Then her eyes flashed.
The three sneak attacking figures twitched and fell from the air one after another.
"poison?"
After the last person said a word, he spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his face turned visibly dark purple. The fireballs they sprayed out failed to hurt Chu Hongye at all, and were directly dispersed by the spiritual energy around Chu Hongye.
Lime and the like were simply ignored.
This scene made the people following Chu Hongye feel frightened.
As expected of the chief disciple of Gu Wangfeng, she poisoned several people who attacked her before they could even see their faces clearly. This strange poison technique was simply terrifying.
"You dare to show off your mere magic skills? You really don't know how to live or die."
Chu Hongye walked over and waved her hand. A group of tiny black and white poisonous insects flew out from the corpse and fell into her hands.
The three corpses also rotted rapidly. When the poisonous insects flew away, the three corpses on the ground also disappeared. Not even bones were left, only three pieces of clothing.
Only at this time did everyone see clearly that a emerald green porcelain bottle appeared in Chu Hongye's hand.
"Keep leading the way."
After collecting the poisonous insects, Chu Hongye turned around and said something to the old man kneeling on the ground.
The old man knelt down the moment Chu Hongye took action. The awe of the 'Immortal Master' was already ingrained in his bones.
After crossing the street, everyone came to the market inside.
Starting from this line, the following is the immortal cultivators' trading area, and the riot also started from here.
Compared to the areas outside where ordinary people live, the destruction here is greater. There are traces of fighting everywhere, and there are many uncollected corpses lying on the streets. No one knows how long they have been dead.
After entering here, everyone became alert.
Unlike the area where ordinary people live outside, this is the execution point of the mission. The old man who led the way retreated spontaneously when he reached the door. For ordinary guards like them, the rest of the things are the responsibility of the immortal masters. If an ordinary person like him enters, it is easy to lose his life.
"Use a search symbol."
Chu Hongye said to the disciple of Guwang Peak beside her.
Upon hearing the order, the Guwang Peak disciple quickly took out a talisman, poured spiritual power into it, and the talisman paper automatically burned. A circle of invisible ripples spread out, sweeping the entire area.
"Life waves are ahead."
The disciples of Guwang Peak quickly told the results of the search.
Chen Luo had wanted to draw this kind of talisman before, but unfortunately the task came before the plan even started. Otherwise, he could definitely make a small fortune by taking advantage of this wave of opportunities.
"Junior Brother Lian, please go ahead."
Chu Hongye nodded and said to Lian Qiang beside her.
"good."
Lian Qiang responded in a muffled voice, took the initiative to walk forward, and walked towards the direction of the search symbol. The aura around him condensed little by little, and light blue secret patterns began to appear on the surface of his skin.
Chen Luo walked in the middle of the team and also took out a magic sword.
This sword was given to me when I first joined the sect, but I had never used it much. Now it was just the right time to use it to show off. The others also took out their magic weapons, most of which were upgraded and high-quality magic weapons, and they were very powerful.
The street was quiet.
The group followed the location found by the search symbol and walked all the way to a temple at the innermost part of the market.
This temple is called the Black Corpse Temple. It is the residence of an evil cultivator who sells corpse puppets in the market. The Xianmen Market does not distinguish between good and evil. As long as you are willing to spend money to open a shop and pay taxes to the Xianmen on time, the Xianmen will allow you to settle down here.
“It’s right here.”
The disciple of Gu Wangfeng spoke up.
The life fluctuations that he sensed when he used the search symbol earlier were emanating from here.
BANG!!
Lian Qiang, who was walking in front, kicked the door open.
The door panel exploded, and broken wood pieces flew everywhere. The temple was pitch black, and at a glance, only a few vague black outlines could be seen, and it was unclear whether they were living people or corpses.
Boom boom.
The sky darkened and thunderclouds rolled overhead.
The people at the door looked up and found that the originally clear sky had become gloomy at some point. Lightning gathered in the depths of the dark clouds, as if it might rain at any time.
"Why did the weather change so suddenly?"
Mo Wenjian said this with some doubt.
Chen Luo was also looking at the sky, but he had some guesses in his mind. He remembered the words that the mummy's brain reminded him of.
There is someone deep in the clouds!
"Could this thunder be caused by that person in the deep clouds?"
"Come in, there's no one inside."
While they were stunned, Lian Qiang, who was in charge of clearing the way, had already gone inside to check. Seeing that he was unharmed, the people inside should have left.
The group entered the Black Corpse Temple one after another.
The temple was empty, with no stone statues or tables or chairs, only a long row of pitch-black coffins.
The owner of this Black Corpse Temple is an evil cultivator who is best at refining corpses. This guy is very likely to be a participant in the riot in Xixia Market.
"He must have just escaped."
Another disciple of Guwang Peak who had been following Chu Hongye squatted on the ground, touching the floor with his index finger. Black insects gathered from all around and flew into his collar.
Previously, this disciple had been hunched over and didn't talk much, causing many people to ignore his existence. But when he spoke, everyone felt something was wrong, and the two Tianjian Peak disciples closest to him subconsciously moved two steps to the side.
Poisonous insects, there are poisonous insects all under this man's clothes, so densely packed, it's very scary.
"Can you find the exact direction?"
Chu Hongye frowned and asked.
The independent cultivators were not fools without brains, and they would not stay there and fight with them like fools. During the blockade, they should have been looking for a way to escape. If they left now, they might have found a clue.
“It’s not difficult.”
The disciple full of poisonous insects took out a small black gourd from his arms.
As soon as the gourd was taken out, everyone felt their noses itchy, as if something invisible was spreading over them.
'poisonous!'
'Parasitic poisonous insects can avoid being eroded by practicing soul magic.'
The two external brains of the foundation-building period gave feedback at the same time. The other brains of the late Qi-refining period also had their own methods, but the simplest one was the solution given by the foundation-building brain.
"Soul-chasing Gu, life and death are inseparable."
The poisonous insect disciple pulled out the stopper of the black gourd, and a thin layer of black mist flew out from the mouth of the bottle, blending into the air and disappearing. The tiny poisonous insect circled in the Black Corpse Temple, and then flew out of the window.
"This way."
The poisonous insect disciple quickly stood up and took the lead to walk outside.
When he passed by the crowd, he took a special look at Lian Qiang, Mo Wenjian and Chen Luo. The poisonous insects he had just released were killed as soon as they approached these three people. Lian Qiang in front was not a big deal, as the disciples of Shenhuo Peak mainly cultivated their bodies, and their bodies were as strong as a furnace. What surprised him were Mo Wenjian and Chen Luo behind him.
Both of them are newcomers who have been in the industry for half a year.
Being able to reach the fifth level of Qi training is already considered a genius, but I didn't expect that he had so many trump cards that even his poisonous insects couldn't corrode him.
