Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Am I coveting my master? ...
The golden light of the Blood Spirit Array was like the hot magma erupting from a volcano, hitting the shadow in the shadow, causing its edges to twist, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting, like a painful roll.
"laugh……"
At this moment, a hint of laughter escaped from among them.
Bai Lu felt a chill on her back and almost thought she had heard it wrong, but soon, she saw many ghosts and demons rising up from the surroundings of the Tianyan Sect's formation, as if they had been lying in ambush for a long time and attacked Yan Wuji!
Yan Wuji put all his concentration into controlling the formation to stop the shadow ghost, and was caught off guard and besieged. He quickly returned to defend, but was still hit. His body was shaky and he was suspended in the air.
This scene came suddenly and was completely unexpected.
Everyone believed that Yan Wuji, as the Demon Lord and the leader of the demon cultivators in Jintingzhou, was closely related to the invasion of the Netherworld, but he actually activated a large formation to help just now.
Next, the Shadow Phantom faction seemed to have anticipated this and took advantage of the opportunity when Yan Wuji was running the formation to attack his "teammates" to launch a surprise attack on Yan Wuji, as if they had already planned to use this opportunity to attack the Tian Yan Sect.
But those attackers were clearly also made up of ghosts and demons...
Yan Changming was already dumbfounded: What's going on? Isn't my father the Demon Lord? !
"Come." Huo Xuexiang felt something was wrong from the beginning. The shadow ghost seemed to be lying in ambush with a plan, so he delayed. After thinking for a while, he drew his sword to help the Blood Spirit Formation to nail the shadow ghost in place, and flew towards the gate of Tianyan Sect to deal with the ghosts and demons who attacked Yan Wuji.
"Go, go, go!" Bai Lu also came back to her senses. Now she didn't care about anything else. She would help whoever helps her. The enemy of her enemy is her friend. The boss's father is also the boss.
This team of righteous monks originally came here to break into the command center and capture the Demon Lord alive, but they didn't expect that their first battle would be to help the Demon Lord Yan Wuji.
Bai Lu threw Yan Changming out, and at the same time, his staff shook the ground, and countless plants and trees gathered into a giant swordsman again, and countless green leaves rustled in the wind, "Spring is coming!"
In the netherworld, the petals gathered into a deep purple sword, surrounded by miasma and poison gas, and slashed away with the power to split mountains and break peaks. The sword light poured out like spring rain.
The ghosts and demons were attacked brutally, with ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Yan Changming was thrown into the air and was about to curse when a hand caught him. He looked up and saw that it was Jin Sunzhi - he had been passed on by others several times, and now it was Jin Sunzhi's turn.
"You... forget it, be gentle." Yan Chang knew that the body cultivator had heavy hands and was afraid that he would accidentally crush him.
Jin Sunzhi hesitated for a moment and said loudly, "Why not untie him?"
At this point, Huo Xuexiang tilted his head and said simply, "Solve."
Jin Sunzhi immediately released the spiritual power that was sealed by Yan Changming. Although Yan Changming, who had been in the heat for a long time, still didn't know what the situation was, he knew what to do.
Yan Changming felt the spiritual power returning to his body, he clenched his spear tightly, and the spear body emitted a low hum as the spiritual power permeated through it. Without hesitation, he used the spear to tear through the air, sweeping away the ghosts in front of him!
While attacking, Yan Changming approached the Tianyan Sect, but because he was still outside the formation, he could not get close to Yan Wuji, so he asked, "Dad! Are you okay?"
He remembered that Yan Wuji had just been hit.
Fortunately, Yan Wuji's face was only slightly pale, and he was still able to control the formation, so it seemed that it was not serious. He even had time to frown and glance at Yan Changming, scolding him: "You go out to explore, and then you get kidnapped and brought back?"
"You're still scolding me at this time..." Yan Changming muttered, but he was completely relieved. He knew that his father would not ignore him. His father must have discovered him just now, which is why he activated the formation to help him.
Thinking of this, Yan Changming angrily cursed "traitor" and attacked with all his strength.
Besides, Huo Xuexiang helped Yan Wuji out of his predicament, and then turned back to face Yingmei. This matter still fell on it.
"This is Yu Jing Youzhu, one of the ghost kings. Be careful." Yan Wuji's voice came from afar, confirming that this shadow ghost was indeed at the ghost king level.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Xuexiang moved again and drew his sword again. This time, the sword energy seemed to be both real and unreal, and it was even more ethereal and ethereal, just like...
Like a wandering shadow.
If Ying Mei's face could be a little whiter, we would definitely be able to see the color change.
It didn't expect that its own body skills would be broken in such a short time. It was originally proud of itself for being just like the human masters, and it was helpless in the fight.
At this moment, he was startled and instantly gathered into a small dot to avoid the sword energy. But the sword energy accurately captured him, and when they collided, it exploded like golden rain, illuminating the sky!
Under this dazzling sword light, all shadows became fainter and fainter, leaving no place to stay.
The shadow demon only felt that his body was also being melted away. He felt an unprecedented panic and tried to avoid it, but he could not avoid it under the sword energy.
The sword light engulfed the shadow, and as it gradually faded away, the shadow disappeared into thin air, leaving only a faint trace of a human figure on the ground.
Huo Xuexiang put away his sword and turned around, only to see that the bodies of those demon cultivators were frozen, and they were being beaten in vain.
Huo Xuexiang had already guessed this, and with a wave of spiritual energy, he saw the figures of those ghost cultivators gradually turn black. At the same time, their shadows on the ground also returned to their original colors, and the two exchanged positions.
These "demon cultivators" turned out to be their shadows, and their real selves turned into dark shadows on the ground, trapped within them.
Everyone was horrified when they saw this. When they were dealing with the shadow just now, they had never thought that this might be the result if they lost. Looking back, their shadow was still trapped in the thundercloud of Bai Lu.
Besides, those demon cultivators have recovered their bodies. Although they have been shadows for a while, they actually have some consciousness in the shadows. They turned against the Demon Lord without hesitation and followed the righteous side to attack ghosts.
The shadow ghost was eliminated, and with the arrival of a group of helpers, it didn't take long before the remaining ghosts were wiped out.
Looking at the demon cultivators who had just been rescued, Bai Lu discovered that their shadows were still a little out of sync, and some even wanted to leave their bodies.
Wow, it’s like it has developed its own consciousness. This is what a shadow that’s used to being wild is like, right?
Bai Lu suddenly became worried about his own shadow, wondering if it would also become independent. He quickly dispersed the thunderclouds and waved, "Come back soon!"
Everyone also mobilized their spiritual power to bring back their shadows. Their shadows had not been rebelling for long, so they were not that agitated yet. They had just come back and were not yet fully synchronized.
It was strange that the shadows were out of sync when they were fighting, but now that everything was fine, it was not so worrying. Ning Yanhu was even interested and took out the magic tool to record the image, and asked You Yue to help him record the appearance of her out of sync.
Bai Lu saw her own shadow slowly coming back, standing under him, and returning. But perhaps because she had just been beaten by him, the color was still a little pale, and the posture was not completely synchronized.
When Bai Lu raised her hand, Shadow Bai Lu shrank back, thinking that Bai Lu was going to hit someone.
"Record it for me too!" Bai Lu called You Yue.
"Okay." You Yue wanted to finish recording Ning Yanhu first, but Pei Zhaoting had already very consciously taken out his own recording device to help Bai Lu record.
Bai Lu stared at it with a silly smile, and suddenly she caught a glimpse of Shadow Sword Master on his way back. He stopped beside Bai Lu, and without moving on, he reached out to touch Bai Lu's shadow's head.
Bai Lu: “…”
"Huh?" Pei Zhaoting also saw it, but because Huo Xuexiang and Bai Lu were usually like this, it was not very strange, so he recorded it.
Feeling guilty, Bai Lu couldn't help but look back. Her master was still some distance away.
If he hadn't just seen himself and his master's shadow interacting from a bystander's perspective, he wouldn't have realized it at all. When he found out that his master had killed Shadow Phantom, he might have rushed forward to celebrate. But now he hasn't stepped forward...
But Huo Xuexiang had already come over. He walked forward slowly, scanned the movements of his own shadow with his mind, smiled, stood beside Bai Lu and looked down.
Unlike others who were waiting for their shadow to resynchronize with themselves, Huo Xuexiang looked at it for a moment, then slightly turned sideways and followed the shadow's movements - he raised his hand and touched Bai Lu's head, and the shadow and form became one.
Bai Lu, who was originally daydreaming in her mind, was startled at this moment. She didn't dare to look up, but she found it particularly interesting and felt itchy inside.
Until Bai Lu saw his own shadow seemed to move its head, he subconsciously imitated Huo Xuexiang and rubbed his head in Huo Xuexiang's palm, saying distractedly: "Hahahaha, I'll learn it too!"
The movements of the form and shadow gradually became synchronized, and the shadows became quiet. Bai Lu looked up and saw the eldest sister with her hands on her hips looking at the two of them with a smile, as if she was teasing them.
If Bai Lu had ignored it in the past, he would have been generous and ignored it, but now Ning Yanhu's eyes made him wander.
Although the relationship between master and apprentice is often criticized, Bai Lu always feels that the relationship between others and their mentors is average. He found that he didn't know when it started, but he couldn't look at his master with the same feeling as a mentor...
Is that why I have those strange feelings? Bai Lu was a little surprised. Could it be that I am coveting my master?
Bai Lu became more and more confused after coming to this conclusion. Let me think, is this right?
"Bai Lu!"
Bai Lu was startled and realized that it was Yan Changming who was shouting. He came back to his senses and looked at Huo Xuexiang first. He found that his master probably didn't notice his abnormality. He smiled to cover it up and then said to Yan Changming, "What are you doing?"
He was scared to death by the shouting that loudly. He had never noticed that Yan Changming had such a loud voice before. He was still thinking about something important.
Yan Wuji had already put down the formation and let them in. The father and son had just reunited, and Yan Changming couldn't wait to show off to Bai Lu: "My father just opened the formation because he found me here and came to the rescue."
"Oh, then congratulations. I'm so happy for you that your father cares so much about you." Bai Lu said sincerely. He thought Yan Changming picked it up.
Of course, Bai Lu was somewhat disappointed. Yan Wuji was actually bullied by the ghosts. He didn't seem to be on the same side. He also said that he would take down the Demon Lord in one fell swoop and force him to change his name... What was going on? It made people even more distraught.
Yan Changming felt that something was a little strange... but at least he was proud of himself. He couldn't wait to ask Yan Wuji, "Dad, what's going on? Has your power been taken away? Did our Tianyan Sect recruit the Netherworld Army?"
I was filled with doubts and wanted to let them all out at this moment.
"No." Yan Wuji looked at these righteous monks.
He could recognize some of the people's ways and their corresponding sects. What was rare was that there were two Wood Clan cultivators... From this point of view, there must be chaos outside, right? Even the Wood Clan cultivators who were in seclusion had come out.
Moreover, one of the young men from the Mu tribe, who was wearing Xuanshan clothes, kept staring at him for some reason. After his eyes met his, he quickly looked away, probably questioning the position of the demon cultivator.
Most of the rescued demon cultivators were also Tianyan Sect cultivators. They all said at once, "No, Young Master, how could it be us! I am a diligent and honest demon cultivator!"
"We in the Tianyan Sect were also victims. I didn't do anything. I was just practicing hard when the shadow attacked me..."
"Please come in and have a chat, otherwise the ghosts from the underworld may attack again." Yan Wuji interrupted their messy explanations and let the righteous people into the gate of Tianyan Sect.
They can be let into the mountain gate formation, and considering the previous situation, I think there is nothing to defend against.
Everyone looked at each other, followed silently and entered the gate of Tianyan Sect that they had been looking for.
As Bai Lu walked away, she returned Yan Changming's brocade bag to him and said regretfully: "Since you are not a bad person, I will return it to you." This is what it means, even thieves have their own code of conduct.
Yan Changming looked at Bai Lu arrogantly, and seeing that Bai Lu was still staring at his treasure bag, he opened it and said casually, "You can choose two."
"!" Bai Lu smiled sincerely and brightly, "Thank you, Boss Yan!"
When they got inside, the righteous group discovered that there were still many demon cultivators in the Tianyan Sect, but most of them were injured, so they were unable to participate in the resistance.
"What on earth is going on?" Yan Changming was shocked. He had never seen Tianyan Sect in such a mess since he was a child. "Which sect did this? They are good at controlling ghosts... Could it be Qianmei Mountain?"
Yan Changming guessed who was behind the tricks from several powerful demon sects in Jintingzhou.
"Who among them do you think can do this? You should have discovered that many areas of Jinting Continent have already merged with the Netherworld." Yan Wuji's eyes were dark.
He waved his hand and ordered people to serve tea to the guests. Then, in his son's puzzled eyes, he slowly said, "The integration of the netherworld began gradually last year, but no one noticed it at first because they used nightmare ghosts as the vanguard. Even if they found traces, there are so many practitioners of the netherworld ghost way in Jintingzhou, who would care?"
Nightmare ghost, Bai Lu nodded secretly, the ghosts in the underworld like to use this route, use the nightmare ghost to attack the heart first.
Yan Wuji glanced at his son and said, "Something has happened in my Tianyan Sect. I have been in charge of the Tianyan Sect for many years and have noticed that something is wrong. That's why Chang Ming wanted to go to the other side and stole the Hidden Mountain Seal and ran away from home.
"I originally wanted to send someone to chase him, but the situation in the sect was getting worse, so I thought of letting him hide outside for a while while I investigate."
"So we couldn't get in touch with Yan Changming anymore?" Ning Yanhu added, "We haven't been able to get in touch with Jin Tingzhou these days, and we can't even predict what's going on here."
Previously everyone thought that the evil cultivators from Jintingzhou tried to cover it up deliberately, but now it seems to be the opposite.
"Yes, this place is like half of the underworld, but it has not yet been fully integrated. Jintingzhou is like being sandwiched between the two worlds. How can ordinary people communicate with it?" Yan Wuji replied.
"Later, I discovered that it was not just the Tianyan Sect, but all the sects were the same, and the topography had also changed. I sent some subordinates to investigate, but it was too late... The Netherworld Army had captured Jintingzhou two months ago.
"We are able to survive thanks to the mountain gate formation, but we are also trapped here. That shadow has been trying to break through here. As far as I know, more than half of the other sects in Jintingzhou have been captured, and the rest are probably trapped like us."
So when Yan Changming was outside wondering why his father didn't care about him, it was not because Yan Wuji was really that cold-blooded, but because he simply had no time to care!
Yan Changming's face turned pale and he was confused. He was originally worried about the battle between good and evil, afraid that he would be caught between his friends and relatives, but who knew that he now found out that his father was in trouble even earlier. He felt in his heart that he should not have run away with the Hidden Mountain Seal.
"Who is that?!" Yan Changming was filled with resentment but had nowhere to vent it. He recalled carefully, "Dad, I saw many Rakshasa curtains, but you said that those sects couldn't do it. But I really can't think of anyone who can do this. Could it be that it's not a sect in our Jintingzhou, but an evil cultivator from the righteous path..."
This is also possible!
Those demon cultivators who had just been rescued actually had no idea what was going on. They had fallen too early and were now looking towards the righteous side with suspicion.
Not to mention, some of the righteous monks do have some evil tendencies...
Bai Lu received many looks. He hid behind Ning Yanhu without making a sound. “I don’t know about other sects, but it’s not our Xuanshan.”
Huo Xuexiang tilted his head slightly.
"If it's the righteous path, why do we have to attack from Jintingzhou?" Ning Yanhu didn't pay attention to Bai Lu's actions, and just pondered. "Moreover, these days, the Netherworld Army has been crossing the border, and the righteous path has gathered to resist. I know the big and small sects, and whether they have come or not. No sect can do this."
If we think about this matter, we will know that it is definitely impossible for the sects that try their best to resist on the front line, and those who have not come do not have the strength to do so.
Even the water tribe and the hidden wood tribe, who originally didn't want to get involved, were dispatched to eliminate suspicion.
"We attacked from Jintingzhou because many of the cultivators here practice the Dark Ghost Dao, which is more suitable. The Rakshasa Curtain you saw..." Yan Wuji said this with a bit of sadness, "The Rakshasa Curtain was originally used by the Dark Ghost Dao cultivators to summon ghosts for sacrifice, but when there are millions of ghosts, it has become a magical tool for ghosts to refine and control the souls of the Dark Ghost Dao cultivators."
Bai Lu thought of the fluttering Rakshasi curtains in the army. No wonder, they couldn’t see the demon cultivators, but only saw the Rakshasi curtains, so they had a preconceived idea that they were controlled by the demon cultivators.
In fact, it is just the opposite. It is the ghosts from the underworld who are refining the evil cultivator!
Jintingzhou was the first place to be attacked.
Huo Xuexiang had been listening quietly without saying anything. He said, "Master Yan has analyzed the situation calmly. If you know the culprit, you may as well tell us directly."
"I want to speak directly, but I'm afraid that if I say it right at the beginning, you won't believe me." Yan Wuji smiled helplessly, "You all wonder who can cultivate the Dark Ghost Dao to such an extent, but have you ever thought that the Dark Ghost Dao practiced by the demon cultivators is just obtained from the fragments of the ancient witch clan.
"The witch clan is the best at controlling ghosts and monsters in the underworld."
Even though they had just finished analyzing the situation, everyone was still shocked and cried out, "Witch Clan?!"
Yan Changming calmed down and thought carefully: "Yes, I said that even our Tianyan Sect can't do it, who else can do it? Only the Wu Clan can do it."
Both the righteous and the evil cultivators were a little dazed. To them, the Witch Clan was like a legendary existence.
Ning Yanhu said in a daze: "But, the Wu Clan has been in seclusion for a long time. Does Sect Master Yan have any basis for his statement? Is this just speculation, or is there any real evidence?"
Before Yan Wuji could say anything, Bai Lu had already taken out an object. It was the witch clan silk book obtained in Shenguang Bay. She said in a daze: "My master and I got this when we caught nightmare ghosts. At that time, we thought that it might be a demon cultivator who accidentally got it and used it to cast a spell..."
Bai Lu's heart was in turmoil, perhaps even more so than anyone else. After all, he had been looking for the whereabouts of the Wu clan, but he didn't expect to end up here.
