Seeing Chen Lu escape, Daoist Xiaoyue couldn't help but chuckle, as if everything was under his control.
He first suppressed the Five Poisons Immortal-Slaying Sword, and then fled in the direction Chen Lu had left.
At this moment, Chen Lu had already entered the cave and activated the formation. He went to the back cave, retrieved the Heavenly Book and various treasures, and put them all into his treasure pouch, waiting to flee with his belongings if things went wrong.
He had just finished tidying up when Daoist Xiaoyue caught up to the cave entrance. She looked up and saw the stone door flashing with multicolored light, and immediately realized that Chen Lu had activated the formation.
Without any hesitation, he stepped back a short distance and then took out a yellow gourd from his treasure pouch.
This is the Six-Six True Fire Gourd, which contains hundreds of Earth Fire True Thunders.
At this moment, he opened the lid, aligned the gourd opening with the cave entrance, and then reached out and patted the bottom of the gourd three times.
Hundreds of Earth Fire Thunderbolts, enveloped in bursts of emerald flames, shot out in a single burst, striking the stone gate of the cave.
Rumble!
The earth-fire and true thunder exploded in succession, causing a violent earthquake that shook the mountains and caused the thousand-foot-high peak to tremble violently.
In an instant, smoke and dust rose, rocks flew everywhere, and clusters of emerald green flames gathered into clouds, enveloping the entire mountain in an eerie atmosphere.
As the real lightning continued to bombard the cave entrance, the multicolored light that had been covering it shone stubbornly for a while before finally giving way and bursting away like a bubble.
The stone gate also burst open with a roar, revealing the passage behind it.
Chen Lu, who was originally deep inside the cave mansion and manipulating the changes of the great formation, sensed the formation's destruction and his expression changed.
There was no reason for them to stay in the cave to wait for death; they immediately flew towards the back cave.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to leave an escape route in the back cave when he was building the cave.
At that moment, he leaped into the passage and immediately flew towards the other side.
In just over ten breaths, he had already escaped the passage and darted out through a hidden cave entrance filled with vines.
Then, after discerning the direction, he immediately summoned a white silk-like magic item and wrapped it around his body.
This was a flying magic weapon. After it wrapped around him, Chen Lu felt incredibly light and agile. He stomped his feet on the ground and instantly soared into the air.
Meanwhile, Daoist Xiaoyue had already followed the aura left by Chen Lu and arrived, giving Chen Lu no chance to destroy the passage.
"Boy! How dare you escape my grasp!"
Just as Chen Lu took off, Daoist Xiaoyue stepped out of the cave and once again unleashed a large hand of primordial energy in the direction Chen Lu had fled.
This is the Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique, a rather mysterious and profound secret technique in the cultivation world.
A massive hand swept across the sky, blotting out the sun, and instantly reached above Chen Lu's head, slamming down with tremendous force.
With a bang.
The precious light surrounding Chen Lu suddenly shattered, and he cried out in alarm as he fell from the sky with a mournful cry.
Coincidentally, the place where he fell was the very Taoist temple where Hu Le was staying.
Just now, the battle of wits between Chen Lu and Xiaoyue Daoren could not be hidden from Hu Le.
However, although he and Chen Lu were neighbors, they were not close, so there was no need for him to lend a helping hand.
He merely glanced at it with his divine sense before quickly withdrawing his attention, too lazy to care about Chen Lu's life or death.
To his utter surprise, trouble came looking for him even though he didn't want to cause any.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Lu crashed into the Taoist temple like a meteorite falling from the sky, smashing a large hole in the dome of the main hall.
Hu Le was cultivating in the hall when suddenly a large hole appeared in the roof, and then his neighbor fell through the hole and landed with a thud in front of him.
If it were an ordinary person, falling from that height would have turned them into a pile of minced meat.
However, Chen Lu was no ordinary person. The white silk wrapped around his body was originally a treasure for light-body flight. Although it was hit by the giant hand of energy earlier, its spiritual light had not yet dissipated.
As he landed, a cloud of mist flashed across the white silk, relieving most of the weight.
Only then was he able to land safely.
"Old neighbor! How have you been?"
After regaining his balance, Chen Lu raised his hand and greeted Hu Le with a dry laugh.
He never imagined that his first meeting with this neighbor would be under such circumstances.
Ugh...
Hu Le sat calmly cross-legged on the futon, looking Chen Lu up and down.
"Fellow Daoist, where did you come from?!"
After a short while, Hu Le withdrew his gaze and asked with a half-smile.
Before Chen Lu could answer, Hu Le suddenly frowned and released the Xuanhuang Ruyi by raising his sleeve.
The Ruyi scepter transformed into a streak of light and shot out from the opening in the roof, colliding violently with a massive hand of primordial energy that slammed down from mid-air.
It turned out that when Xiaoyue Daoist saw Chen Lu fall into the temple, he did not stop. Instead, he slapped down the large hand of primordial energy again, completely enveloping the entire temple.
Although Hu Le had repaired the Taoist temple, he did not set up any formations there as it was a temporary residence.
It was just an ordinary Taoist temple.
If this powerful hand were to strike, the entire Taoist temple would likely be reduced to ashes.
As for whether there were other people in the temple, Xiaoyue Daoren said she didn't care.
Even if someone lived there, if they were killed by this giant hand, they could only blame their bad luck.
In the distance, Master Chizhang stood in the clouds, watching the giant hand strike down from the sky. He couldn't help but frown, feeling that Daoist Xiaoyue had gone a bit too far.
It's one thing for you, Xiaoyue, to clean up your own house, but you can't drag innocent people into it!
He was also worried that Hu Le in the temple would be killed by this slap, and was considering whether to help him. Just then, a dark yellow jade ruyi suddenly rose from the temple, wrapped in a ball of auspicious light, and collided with the giant hand of primordial energy.
boom!
The giant hand of vital energy was blocked by the Xuanhuang Ruyi and immediately hung in mid-air, unable to fall down.
The next instant, the giant hand of energy exploded, turning into streams of energy that scattered in all directions.
Hu Le then stood up from the prayer mat and pointed at Chen Lu opposite him.
Chen Lu felt his whole body stiffen, and he immediately froze in place, unable to move.
Then, Hu Le flicked his sleeves, and his whole body seemed to rise lightly on the breeze, instantly flying out through the hole in the roof.
Once halfway up in the air, Hu Le grabbed the Xuanhuang Ruyi in his hand, held it in his arms, and looked up at the sky.
At this moment, Daoist Xiaoyue stood above the clouds in the mountains, surrounded by a radiant glow of five colors.
He was also looking down at Hu Le.
Their eyes met at the same time.
Xiaoyue Daoist frowned. He hadn't expected that such a remote and ordinary Taoist temple would actually be hiding a dragon and a Taoist of such extraordinary talent.
Hu Le glanced at Xiaoyue Daoist, too lazy to argue with him, and simply tossed the Xuanhuang Ruyi from his arms away...
