Chapter 176: The Mirror in the Calm Lake
"It would be fine if you demons were practicing properly, but you want to do things that are against the will of heaven. Since I am a cultivator of Xuan, how can I just sit back and watch?!" As he said this, he stretched out his hand and slapped the ground. Suddenly, many vines sprang out from the ground, twisting continuously like snakes.
Seeing this, Yinghuan sneered, "Good old fellow, I thought you were only good at illusions, but it turns out you have some skills. I guess this is your signature skill."
Chi Yanzi didn't answer, but just shouted, "Go!" and the vines rushed towards Yinghuan together.
When the vines were about to approach Huanhuan, they suddenly burrowed into the ground. After a while, they came out from all around Huanhuan. Each one seemed to have eyes, and they made a "whooshing" sound as they twisted and whipped.
However, Yinghuan showed no sign of panic. Facing the numerous branches and vines attacking her, she dodged them with ease with a few quick swerves. As she dodged, she sneered, "Even if it's my signature skill, it's nothing more than this."
She seemed to be playing with the vines, her body nimble and effortless. Seeing this, Chi Yanzi roared, and the vines moved even faster.
At this moment, Yinghua seemed to be tired of playing around. She dodged and glanced at Chi Yanzi seductively. Then she disappeared in a flash.
Taoist Chi Yanzi was shocked when he saw this. He held his breath and looked around vigilantly. But apart from the rustling of the vines, there was no movement at all.
He quickly untied the spell and was about to listen carefully when, at this moment, Yinghuan suddenly appeared behind him, silently, and raised her claws to grab him.
The claw was wrapped in black mist and was about to fall. At this time, a yellow talisman flew over and hit Yinghuan's chest. Suddenly, a fire exploded and separated the two.
Yinghuan quickly stepped back and reached out to extinguish the talisman fire on her chest. At this moment, a voice rang out:
"I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be the female general under the Demon Lord."
Upon hearing this, Yinghuan looked up and saw someone helping Chi Yanzi, who had fallen to the ground, to his feet. It was none other than Lingxiang!
"Humph! What a narrow path for enemies to cross. I actually ran into you here."
Lingxiang smiled upon hearing this, but that smile was filled with disdain: "Look at what you said, as if you are very familiar with me, and even an enemy. I don't remember there being such an enemy as you."
She actually misinterpreted Yinghuan's words as words from a play, which made Chi Yanzi burst out laughing.
Upon hearing this, Yinghuan was immediately furious: "You sharp-tongued little girl, wait for me to teach you a lesson and see how you can continue to show off your verbal skills!" After saying this, she disappeared in a flash.
Here, Yinghuan hid her figure, and Chi Yanzi became anxious and wanted to make some hand gestures to gather his strength, but Lingxiang seemed not to care at all and only asked Chi Yanzi if he was injured anywhere.
It's already this late, and she's still so calm!
Just as Chi Yanzi was concentrating on paying attention to the movements around him, he saw Yinghuan suddenly appear behind Lingxiang.
Chi Yanzi cried out in a hurry, but Yinghuan's claws had already fallen, and were about to hurt Lingxiang. At this moment, a white figure flashed by, and the sharp claws wrapped in the devilish miasma were caught steadily!
"Hey old man, why can't you make people worry no matter where you go?"
It was Xiaobai in white clothes!
Chi Yanzi still had his mouth wide open, and he hadn't even had time to utter "be careful". This look was really funny. Xiaobai saw it and frowned: "I say, old man, are you getting old and your memory is not so good? Looking at me like this, have you forgotten who I am?"
After hearing what Xiaobai said, Chi Yanzi finally closed his jaw and smacked his lips to hide the embarrassment on his face.
Lingxiang laughed at this moment: "Looking at you two, I inexplicably feel that you are a perfect match!"
Xiaobai couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard this. He really brought this upon himself. Why did he have to find some strange storybook for her? Now, he was being teased. He really shot himself in the foot.
Yinghuan was caught tightly and couldn't get away for a while, so she took advantage of the three people talking, twisted her waist, raised her leg and swept it.
Xiaobai was feeling frustrated and didn't pay attention to Yinghuan's movements. He was kicked right in the face by the sweeping kick, and he lost his strength without paying attention.
Yinghuan was able to escape, and retreated a few steps. As soon as she stood still, she frowned at Xiaobai and said, "Are you a demon?!"
Xiaobai dusted off the dust on his body, fetched a folding fan from somewhere, opened it with a "swish", and fanned himself casually, looking like a gentleman. He answered slowly and calmly, "So what?"
Seeing him act so pretentiously, Lingxiang almost laughed out loud, while Yinghua frowned, "Since you're from the demon clan, you should know who I am. How dare you get in my way? Why don't you leave immediately!"
Hearing this, Xiaobai looked puzzled: "Forgive my poor eyesight... Which temple are you from?"
Now Lingxiang couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing, unable to stop for a moment.
Xiaobai frowned and glanced at Lingxiang, his eyes full of anger: After all, he is a demon king with a cave residence, and he should be given some face in front of outsiders.
Seeing him like this, Lingxiang quickly waved her hands and covered her mouth to apologize, but the smile in her eyes grew even more.
But Yinghua looked incredulous: "You don't know my identity?"
Xiaobai seemed extremely sincere. He leisurely put away his fan and asked sincerely, "Should I know who you are?"
Now Lingxiang couldn't hold it back any longer, and even Chi Yanzi beside her couldn't help laughing out loud.
These two funny guys are really infuriating!
wrong!
It's so pissing me off!
Seeing the three people like this, Yinghuan knew that they were playing tricks on her. She was immediately furious and raised her hand, and many monsters suddenly rushed out from all around.
Lingxiang frowned upon seeing this, thinking to herself, this is all wrong, Maidong is still waiting for her to save him!
Seeing this, she twisted her fingers and took out an object that looked like an emerald green bamboo stick from her Qiankun bag. It was none other than the Cizhu Sword.
Upon seeing this object, a trace of panic flashed across Yinghua's eyes. Lingxiang smiled and said, "I wonder if the female general still recognizes this object? Perhaps the scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten?"
After hearing this, Yinghua forced herself to remain calm and said, "Before, I was just using someone else's skin, so I couldn't use my full strength. With your level of cultivation, even if you had this thing, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to defeat me!"
Lingxiang smiled, stroking the strand of bamboo leaves on the Cizhu Sword, and then looked at Yinghua: "Who said I was going to use this sword?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he handed the Cizhu Sword to Chi Yanzi.
"Brother! Take the sword!"
Seeing this, Chi Yanzi took the bamboo stick from Lingxiang's hand in confusion, and said, "You call this a sword?"
Lingxiang couldn't help but roll her eyes, as if she was too lazy to explain.
This old Taoist is really something. The momentum she had worked so hard to build up was instantly weakened by three points after he asked this question.
"Brother, you can just use it as a stick for now. This is something I got from the Bamboo Stick Immortal, and it's specially made to restrain demons."
Chi Yanzi's eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew the Bamboo Staff Immortal. This was actually his magic weapon. It must be extremely powerful!
But before he could get too excited, Yinghuan seemed extremely fearful and quickly made a gesture, and all the monsters rushed forward.
Seeing this, Xiaobai quickly pulled Lingxiang behind him and quickly dealt with the monster that pounced on him. He then said to Chi Yanzi, "Old man, since you've got the treasure, I'll let you take the limelight."
Chi Yanzi was helpless, sighing inwardly. They were both demons, yet how could there be such a stark difference between them? This bamboo stick looked unremarkable, but it was surprisingly effective against the demon. After a few swings, the demon was left wailing in agony, struggling to even stand.
Although Xiaobai said that, the monsters would never let them go. Lingxiang was concerned about Maidong, so she twisted her fingers and made hand gestures while shouting at Chi Yanzi, "We were just playing around just now. It's not convenient to fight now. There are still people in the city who are counting on you to rescue us!"
Hearing this, Yinghuan raised her eyebrows, pinched her waist and smiled charmingly: "Oh? Could it be that Elder Fu Cang is dying? Then it's not a loss to have killed so many monsters this time."
"No wonder you're the only woman under the Demon Lord," Lingxiang sneered, "I guess your brain isn't very good. You don't even know who Elder Fu Cang is."
Upon hearing this, Yinghua's expression changed. She stared and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lingxiang pierced the throat of the charging monster with a single move of her Lotus Heart Sword Intent. She turned around, revealing a black jade waist badge in her hand. "Outer disciples of the Yuanqing Sect possess ebony waist badges, while those within the sect possess black iron waist badges. And the elders possess this black jade waist badge. So, you still don't know who Fu Cang is?"
Yinghuan's eyes widened in anger as she stared at Lingxiang, who looked smug. She felt her internal organs burning. Thinking of how Lingxiang had treated her before, she became even more furious. She roared and was about to pounce on Lingxiang: "You damned girl! How dare you lie to me!"
She seemed to be crazy, with demonic energy surging in her body and coming at her with great speed, but it was too late for Lingxiang to chant the magic formula, and Xiaobai and Chi Yanzi were blocked by the swarm of demons and monsters, and could not get away. Seeing that they were about to pounce on Lingxiang, the two were extremely horrified!
At this moment, a flash of sword light appeared. If Yinghuan had not retreated in time, her face would have been cut! And the one who flashed this sword light was not someone else, but Long Qi!
When Lingxiang saw that it was Long Qi, she was delighted and thought that she was lucky because she didn't have to look for him again. Just when she was about to ask him how he found her, she found that Long Qi seemed a little unusual.
Long Qi frowned, his eyes wide open, staring at Yinghuan motionlessly, his teeth gritting and making a creaking sound.
"It's you!"
Jiuhuan was suddenly stopped, and initially furious. But upon seeing Long Qi's furious eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine. Those eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred, terrifying. She wondered who this person was, who could possibly have instilled such fear in her. But the fear was fleeting.
"Why? Do you know me?"
Of course Long Qi knew her, even if he turned into ashes, he would never forget her face!
It was she who led the monsters to slaughter the entire Long family thirteen years ago!
What he saw with his own eyes was the pretentious face in front of him!
And now she actually wants to take away Lingxiang!
Long Qi was suddenly filled with murderous intent, and his cultivation level increased dramatically in an instant. He leaped towards Yinghuan and slashed with his sword!
Yinghuan was shocked by his aura and did not react for a while, but after a moment, she came to her senses and easily dodged the fierce attack.
But Long Qi's cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Although he was full of murderous intent at the beginning, he was at a disadvantage after just a few moves. Chi Yanzi saw this and took advantage of the moment when Yinghua and Long Qi were fighting. He quickly moved behind her and swung his stick, knocking Yinghua back a few feet.
When the stick hit her, Yinghuan immediately felt a burning pain on her arm. She frowned, stared at the Cizhu sword in Chi Yanzi's hand for a moment, ordered all the monsters to attack together, and then disappeared.
It seems that she is extremely afraid of this Cizhu Sword.
Although Yinghuan left, a group of monsters continued to harass everyone. Lingxiang was extremely anxious. At this moment, three talismans flew over, and her body suddenly exploded. As the explosion ended, Banxia came quickly with the Ruyi Judge's Pen in her hand, which surprised Lingxiang.
Senior Brother Donghui himself spent years staring at the fragments of the Xuantian scroll, unable to comprehend them, but he was quite skilled in teaching his disciples. It seemed Banxia's talisman technique had reached a certain level.
Just when Lingxiang was thinking about Banxia, she saw two figures flying out from behind Banxia. They were Liu Xia and Xinyi.
"Why are you here?" Lingxiang was very surprised. She knew that Long Qi was with Xinyi, but she didn't expect that these two people would find Liu Xia and Banxia.
When Banxia approached, she quickly said to Lingxiang, "Wuyang is currently looking after Senior Sister Maidong in the clinic. After listening to Uncle Longsheng's brief explanation, I brought them here using the Bagua Plate to help you. Saving lives is like putting out a fire, so leave this to us. You can go back and take Senior Chi Yanzi back to save them first!"
Lingxiang was a little worried when she heard this. At this moment, Xinyi suddenly flashed to her side and killed the monster that was about to get close to her. Then she said, "I'll leave Maidong to you!"
Upon hearing this, Lingxiang said nothing, but just called out Xiaobai. Xiaobai immediately understood, and in a few leaps he was next to Chi Yanzi, grabbed him and leaped up.
Chi Yanzi was fighting fiercely when Xiaobai, like a mother wolf, dragged him to Lingxiang. He was about to complain when Lingxiang advised, "Brother, saving people is the most important thing!"
…
Xiaobai carried Lingxiang on his back, with Chi Yanzi beside him. The three of them hurried towards the city. At this moment, Lingxiang suddenly asked Chi Yanzi, "My mother went to Yunmengze in the past. I think you went with her, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzi opened his eyes wide, even forgetting to hurry on, and stared at Lingxiang.
"Why do you ask this? Do you want to enter the water mirror?!"
Lingxiang smiled and said, "Why not?"
"To reach Yunmengze, you must pass through that stagnant water. But it's said that the stagnant water is a spell cast by the ancient god Yunzhongjun, so it's not so easy to enter! Besides, it's extremely dangerous. Why would you want to go there?!"
"Of course it's for..." Lingxiang smiled, took out a medicine book from her Qiankun bag, then flipped out a fragment of a prescription and handed it to Chi Yanzi.
Chi Yanzi took it and looked at it and was shocked:
"Rescuing Pill!"
