Chapter 142: Being surrounded and rescued
Chapter 142:
More than half a month had passed since their last separation, and during this period, Chi Yu had not been able to see Xie Xiyi.
Chi Yu actually had some premonition about this, so he felt homesick.
That day, he landed and entered a monastic city. He found the monks throughout the city somewhat restless. After entering a restaurant and spending some time as a guest, he finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that Wanqiongzhou was in chaos.
"That ghost-faced monk... no, the one called Xuanji. He was originally a disciple of the Luopo Zen sect in Zizaizhou, and was designated by the Anuttara Buddhist sect as the next Buddha's son. However, five hundred years ago, he caused a disturbance and defected from the Zen sect. Five hundred years later, he is wreaking havoc on the world again, no different from a demonic cultivator. The Wanqiongzhou aristocratic families have lost dozens of their powerful men, so they dragged Zizaizhou into the fight, demanding that the Anuttara Buddhist sect in Zizaizhou clean up its ranks."
"This is what the Anuttara Buddhist community should do. If a Buddhist disciple falls into the devil's trap, they have an unshirkable responsibility."
"That's what they said, but the Anuttara Buddhist sect refused and declared that they would not interfere in this matter and that the Wanqiong Continent should resolve it on its own."
"This... is so irresponsible? This is a demon from their Buddhist sect. It is shameful for Zizaizhou to behave like this."
"Although Wanqiongzhou usually maintains aloofness, they will step forward whenever the Demon Realm or the Nine Netherworld stirs, taking it upon themselves to protect the people. They are truly role models for us."
When Chi Yu heard this, his blood pressure rose.
What about taking protecting the people as one's responsibility? It's clear that it's not enough to suck the blood of a family, even Senior Brother Xuan Ji, who escaped the net, is not let go!
Chi Yu couldn't stand it anymore. This Wanqiong Continent was too beautiful. He had all the resources and fame, but the victim had lost his entire family and his reputation, and became a well-known demon in the Haoyuan Realm - although he was indeed a demon, Senior Brother Xuanji also had his own difficulties!!!
Chi Yu couldn't help but take out the jade talisman and looked down at it.
Five hundred years later, the Jade Communication Talisman had become widely popular. Because it was so cheap, even if it spread to Dongjingzhou, Wangxianzhou, or the Savage Land, the price would not be much higher.
Chi Yu finally realized why all the shops refused him accommodation after he destroyed half of the restaurant. It turned out that they really had a group.
Alas, Alsophila spinulosa owed him a share of the profits for five hundred years, and I don’t know whether he will pay it back or not.
Collecting his thoughts, Chi Yu suppressed his ideas and called out to the waiter.
This clear voice attracted the attention of the monks present, but Chi Yu did not take it seriously.
But the sudden silence around him still made him more alert. He looked around and saw that the diners on the upper and lower floors were looking at him. No one spoke, but their expressions were strange, as if they were communicating with each other through telepathy.
The waiter came over with a smile and asked, "Excuse me, sir..."
His voice stopped abruptly, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Chi Yu immediately stood up and escaped through the window without saying a word.
"Chase!" Someone spoke, and everyone rushed out like bees following Chi Yu.
Chi Yu's reaction speed was already considered very fast, but he had only been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage not long ago, and his cultivation was somewhat like a loft in the sky, so when facing a real Nascent Soul, he could not gain any advantage at all.
The city was under the control of a powerful person, and fighting and killing were not allowed, but this principle was very broad and flexible. Coupled with the tempting bounty, many "official" people secretly took off their patrol uniforms and joined the pursuit team.
The monks' magic weapons appeared one after another. Chi Yu turned into a small alley and used a magic weapon to change his face and body shape, but as soon as he went out, he was locked by a terrifying pressure.
"Boy, you are too naive to think that you can escape by changing your face and body shape. Anyone who practices some special magic can see through your true identity!" A middle-aged male cultivator laughed "hehehe" and attacked Chi Yu with a sword.
Chi Yu summoned phantom lightning and raised his hand to block it. His Nascent Soul's spiritual power was surging, but his magic skills were pitifully few. His most impressive skill was the sword skills taught by Xuan Ji. They were extremely powerful, and even the murderous aura he lacked emerged when he killed Qing Xuan, making him seem extremely perfect and accommodating.
The middle-aged male cultivator was actually defeated for a while. After all, he was just a casual cultivator. Even if his cultivation level was equal to Chi Yu's, it was difficult for him to keep up with Chi Yu's cultivation resources. Therefore, he was at a disadvantage under this outstanding sword skill.
Chi Yu seized the opportunity at that moment and beheaded the middle-aged male cultivator with a sword. The head that flew into the sky was shattered by his sword intent!
As soon as the middle-aged male cultivator died, Chi Yu turned into a stream of light and flew out of the city without hesitation.
He knew that many people were watching their fight. Although he had rarely faced these cultivators head-on, he had read novels and knew what kind of moral character these people in the cultivation world were when they fought.
The shady ones are shady, the cruel ones are ruthless, the cowards are the ones who pick up bargains, the ones who kill and rob are the ones who kill and rob, the ones who rob are the ones who rob...
None of them are easy to get along with! None of them are easy to deal with!
If he showed even the slightest sign of weakness and did not kill the middle-aged male cultivator, he would be swarmed with enemies and be devoured!
Chi Yu was running away at an extremely fast speed, but the monks who were targeting him were like top predators, each one more powerful and imposing than the other.
Chi Yu looked back and saw countless spots of light following him closely at a distance of several feet, and some were even about to surpass him.
No, if this goes on, he will be surrounded and attacked.
Chi Yu pursed her lips, her mind racing—
The secret realm is very useful, but only the appearance of a city can attract these monks.
However, the cultivation levels of these monks are too high, and they regard mortals as ants. If he uses the city to lure the enemy, the mortals inside will also be in danger.
Therefore, the secret realm cannot be used.
Chi Yu's consciousness entered the Sumeru Ring and searched for usable magical instruments inside the Sumeru Ring.
When it comes to using magic weapons, one regrets not having enough; when it comes to using magic techniques, one regrets not having enough. Only when Chi Yu actually engages in combat does he realize how pitifully few his means of attack are.
Chi Yu could only speed up and continue to escape.
When your spiritual power is about to be exhausted, just take Peiyuan Pills. He has plenty of pills.
However, he was wrong about one thing: the other monks would also inform their relatives and friends, so he was surrounded in no time.
Chi Yu stopped, and the dots of light followed suit, each taking on human form. From their demeanor, it was clear that most of them were independent cultivators. Independent cultivators generally appeared older and more mature, as they reached their Golden Core stage later, naturally appearing much older. While Nascent Souls could reshape their physical appearance, it required a significant expenditure of spiritual energy. Reaching the Nascent Soul stage was a barely achieved feat, leaving them with no spare energy for a physical body.
A small number of them were monks from the Immortal Alliance, wearing the Immortal Alliance's uniform. Chi Yu even looked a few of them familiar, as he had seen them before when he had sneaked into the Immortal Alliance.
Before beating up Chi Yu, these cultivators launched into their usual challenge, "Long Aotian, you're wanted by the Immortal Alliance now. Surrender now and come back with us, and we'll spare your life."
Chi Yu laughed and said in a clear voice, "Since so many people know me, I guess the Immortal Alliance has put out a bounty, right? And the amount is definitely quite large—but, with so many of you, how are we going to divide the bounty spirit stones?"
When these words were spoken, all the monks looked at each other in surprise. They had not expected this.
Chi Yu said with a hint of temptation, "Most of you are independent cultivators, right? It's not easy for independent cultivators to cultivate. With so many people, even if the bounty on spirit stones is huge, it won't be enough for everyone present. If you can take the bounty alone, it must be enough for you to cultivate to the Mahayana stage, right?"
"Boy, stop trying to sow discord! The bounty on spirit stones is 100 top-grade spirit stones. Even if we divide it equally, everyone here will get several hundred mid-grade spirit stones."
"But why should I share it equally when I can enjoy it all by myself?" Chi Yu said sincerely, "To be honest, although my cultivation is at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul, my bone age is only 18 years old. I only have such a high level of cultivation because I received the cultivation initiation from other cultivators. Such forced growth naturally makes my realm unstable. My only skill is my swordsmanship. Why are you all taking this matter so seriously, as if we were facing a formidable enemy?"
"Bone age 18?" A cultivator wondered. Then someone used a special technique to find out that Chi Yu was indeed eighteen years old. "It's true! He really is eighteen!"
"What? Eighteen years old, Yuanying stage?"
"Why have I never heard of any method of cultivation initiation?"
"I think it's the secret method of those immortal cultivation families."
The independent cultivators have always looked down upon the children of aristocratic families, thinking that they have merely taken advantage of reincarnation and are not as brave and strong as them who have fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Therefore, after discovering that Chi Yu's bone age was indeed 18 years old, contempt for him surged up.
Smart people knew that Chi Yu was trying to sow discord, but cultivation resources were indeed of utmost importance to these independent cultivators. If they could enjoy them alone, why should they share them with others?
As a result, people's hearts were in turmoil, and after being provoked by Chi Yu's few words, these independent cultivators actually started fighting among themselves.
The Immortal Alliance disciples were dumbfounded. They tried to steady them, but were stabbed with swords. The Immortal Alliance disciples could not bear it and rushed in with swords in hand.
Even so, there are still some people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to harvest Chi Yu.
Chi Yu keenly sensed the murderous intent behind him and immediately used his phantom lightning to counterattack.
His reaction speed was already extremely fast, but the attacker cleverly changed his attacks several times. Chi Yu did not respond in time, and a sword energy attacked his heart directly.
In this way, the forbidden spell was activated instantly, and black runes surged out like a tide. The attack was dissolved, and the runes even copied the same attack and pierced the enemy's heart.
However, Chi Yu did not breathe a sigh of relief. He had been actively fighting the enemy. One of the main reasons was that once the forbidden spell was triggered, Xie Xiyi would definitely know.
And they will meet eventually.
His premonition was so strong that this time, it must be his senior brother Xuan Ji.
Chi Yu's heart began to beat fast, and a noise like a flickering TV screen appeared in his ears. The phantom power in his hand hummed softly, as if it had sensed something.
Chi Yu squeezed the phantom lightning tightly, and the flow of time seemed to slow down extremely much. A black mist appeared in his golden pupils.
The black fog appeared out of nowhere, unusually thick, like the dark clouds brewing a thunderstorm at sea, eerie, evil, and freezing cold.
The flashes of swords and shadows around disappeared unnoticed, and everyone's attention was attracted by the black fog. Some people had already sensed something, and fear and panic appeared in their eyes.
Now, thanks to the jade talisman, most places in Jiuzhou know the reputation of the Ghost-Faced Monk, and the Ghost-Faced Monk's signature weapon is this unpredictable black fog.
But there are still people who don't believe it, because according to reliable information, the Ghost-faced Monk was being besieged by aristocratic families and scattered immortal sects not long ago, so how could he suddenly appear here?
The knowledge of the independent cultivators was so limited that they knew very little about forbidden spells, so even though some had already started to flee, many people still stayed here.
Xie Xiyi's figure emerged, still wearing a mask, and approached Chi Yu like a ghost. Chi Yu's voice was slightly hoarse, and he smiled nonchalantly and called out, "Senior Brother Xuanji."
Xie Xiyi didn't answer him, but just put one arm around his waist. The black mist swallowed them up in an instant, spinning rapidly in the air like a whirlpool and disappearing.
“They…they ran away!”
"This Long Aotian has a close relationship with the Ghost Face Monk, and the Immortal Alliance actually concealed this fact. This is too much!"
So, everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to chase.
*
When Chi Yu opened his eyes again, they were already in a beautiful sea of flowers.
"Senior Brother Xuan Ji..." Chi Yu looked to follow Xie Xiyi's figure and saw a human figure wrapped in black mist.
The human figure was lying in the sea of flowers, crushing a large area of flowers and grass. The black juice flowing out of the black mist corroded a large area of flowers and even spread to Chi Yu's feet.
The boots under Chi Yu's feet melted instantly, and he felt a burst of cold wetness, and within this wetness, a burning sensation. He was slow to react for a few seconds before he realized what this black liquid was.
This is Xie Xiyi's blood.
Chi Yu was a little shocked. In his mind, the villain Xie Xiyi, who had always been omnipotent, could actually be injured?
But he soon remembered the black giant egg last time. Well, it wasn't the first time.
Next, Chi Yu saw the formation process of the black dome.
The black fog wove black patterns like a spider, wrapping up Xie Xiyi's body bit by bit.
Soon, a giant egg was formed.
Chi Yu used his magical power to break illusions and saw countless lines in the dome begin to burst out.
Xie Xiyi's body was immersed in a black mist like amniotic fluid. It started from his hands. Other fingers stretched out from the skin of his five fingers, one by one, and soon, a complete hand grew out from Xie Xiyi's wrist.
Chi Yu: "..."
Chi Yu turned off his magical power to break delusion, wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, and felt that this scene was really a bit embarrassing.
After calming down, Chi Yu couldn't help but activate the Delusion Breaking Technique again. The world in the golden eyes suddenly darkened, and the countless lines in the egg emerged again.
Chi Yu moved closer and took the lines that were floating towards him, which belonged to Xie Xiyi's state of mind. The information in the lines was shallow, but it was repeated countless times.
"Chi Yu, Chi Yu, Chi Yu..."
Chi Yu: "..."
Hahahaha, this is a bit scary, Senior Brother Xuan Ji.
