After cursing the mother of the Black Cliff Demon, Master Qinghai quickly calmed his mind.

The Black Cliff Demon could most likely not be found, but remedial measures had to be taken, not to find the old demon, but to show it to the sect.

Hopefully the punishment will be reduced a bit.

Who would have thought that the old demon Heiya would make such a big move just for the earth spirit nurtured in the spiritual vein.

But for the sake of the earth spirit, more than ten pseudo-dans were mobilized at once, plus so many foundation-building cultivators. It is estimated that all the thugs accumulated by the old demon over the years have been exposed.

The cost is totally disproportionate to the benefit.

…

The sea outside Ao Shi Xian City is three thousand miles away.

Above Chiguang Island.

Suddenly, the void began to fluctuate, and after a twist, Lu Ya's figure fell down with a thud.

His face turned pale and he fell directly into the depths of the mountains.

"not good!"

Lu Ya, who had just landed, had trembling khaki buds in his pupils.

There is a breath of destruction.

The one-way teleportation array lands randomly, so how is it possible to encounter a Jindan cultivator?

He would not make a mistake in sensing the two auras of vitality and destruction. Even if the aura was very weak, it could not escape his perception.

Could there be a golden elixir hidden here? Only a third-level creature could have such a destructive power that made him tremble.

Lu Ya did not move, which was somewhat different from what was expected.

Facing a Jindan cultivator, he was no match at all.

In the mountains, insects chirped and birds chirped, and black-horned ants crawled slowly between the soil and rocks. Lu Ya did not pay attention to these ant-like creatures. He restrained his breath and thought about what to do next.

…

"Master, there is a silver light flashing in the sky above the island. Someone is falling from the sky."

In the cave, Big Black drill came in and reported to Shen Lian as soon as he came up.

"What? Someone fell from the sky."

While practicing, Shen Lian suddenly opened his eyes.

If he didn't know that Dahei was a well-behaved child, he would have thought that Dahei was joking.

There's a person falling from the sky. If he falls from such a high place, it's bound to cause a landslide and an earthquake.

Silver light flashed. Even Jindan cultivators could not use the power of space. Could it be that what fell from the sky was Yuan...

Shen Lian's mind suddenly focused.

There is a teleportation array in Ao Shi Immortal City, which can teleport randomly within a range of three thousand miles.

But Chiguang Island is already 3,500 miles away from Aoshi Fairy City.

But it’s not a big problem. Random teleportation is not a big deal.

Without hesitation, Shen Lian stood up and put away the Tianyan Jade Talisman that he had nurtured.

At this time, people were teleported out from Ao Shi Immortal City. Could it be that something happened in Ao Shi Immortal City again?

Since the Red Light Island was not very big and there were Qi-cultivating monks on it, the demonized black-horned ants would attract more attention. Therefore, he released only ordinary black-horned ants.

"Tell your people to continue investigating and see what the fallen people are doing?"

Shen Lian carefully put away the formation and attached the breath-suppressing talisman to the inside of his robe. He was not sure whether the person who was teleported out was a good person or a bad person, so he waited for the person to leave first.

"At this time, with a Jindan Zhenren in charge, what else could happen in Aoshi Immortal City that would be worth spending a lot of spirit stones to teleport out?"

Shen Lian was quite curious.

Ao Shi Fairy City can’t possibly explode.

The reason for choosing Chiguang Island is that it is neither too close nor too far from Aoshi Fairy City, and its spiritual energy is not too poor, so it is just the right place to stay for a few days and wait for the route to be restored.

"Forget it. It's none of my business. I'll find another place after everyone leaves."

Shen Lian was thinking in his heart that he would go and bring happiness to his fellow Taoist once the route was open.

Then, see if you can find a large mining city, go there to sell pills, and collect the raw stones of Xuanling Jadeite.

Not long after, another common black-horned ant crawled over and rubbed hands with Dahei and touched their horns.

This is also the reason why Shen Lian released ordinary black-horned ants. Although their strength is not worth mentioning, they can neither speak nor transmit sound, and have their own unique way of transmitting information.

Even a Jindan Zhenren can't do anything about it.

Who would care about a group of ants who haven't even set foot on the path of demons?

"Master, that person stayed where he was and hid."

"Oh, you're still a person of the Gou Dao sect."

Not everyone can ride the space teleportation array if they want to. The space pressure during the space teleportation process is very difficult for cultivators at the foundation-building stage to withstand.

It is said that the last time the teleportation array of Ao Shi Xian City was opened was more than fifty years ago, and the people riding on it were protected by a fake elixir cultivator.

According to the information sent back by the black-horned ants, the person who fell down seemed to have his clothes intact, which meant that he had withstood the pressure of space alone.

A person, with his robe intact, was initially judged to be a fake pill, or possessing a high-grade defensive magic weapon.

But when it fell, the black-horned ant at the Chaotian observation post did not see any magical light appear.

After another assessment, without a high-level defensive weapon, the probability of this being a fake pill increased to 80%.

What is the purpose of a fake alchemy cultivator being teleported out from Ao Shi Immortal City?

Three thousand five hundred miles of water, it won't take long to fly directly, is there a spirit stone to burn? Shen Lian thought about it and decided that if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move.

He still needs to be cautious with the fake Dan monk.

The Tianyan Jade Talisman in the Dantian was mobilized, and the divine consciousness immersed in the bracelet jade talisman formation, ready to go.

…

"The breath disappeared?"

Lu Ya's figure was embedded in the cracks of the underground rocks. He looked around carefully. In his divine sense, he saw the appearance of black-horned ants, big-headed ants, small flying insects and other insects.

He knew that he couldn't extend his spiritual thoughts too far, as he couldn't compete with the Jindan cultivator in terms of spiritual thoughts, unless 'it' could crawl out of the rotten old tree roots in its entirety.

Half a day passed.

Lu Ya suddenly realized that something was wrong.

If it was the Jindan Zhenren from Xuanhai Sect, he would just come up and kill him.

What are you hiding?

Unless it is not a golden elixir, but a golden elixir-level talisman in his hand, and he just happens to find him, he dare not take action and is waiting for the sect's golden elixir to arrive.

What a profound young man.

He has been in Ao Shi Immortal City for thirty years, and he knows all the foundation-building cultivators of the Xuanhai Sect who stayed in the Immortal City. None of them are as deep-minded as him.

That's not right. He escaped via the teleportation array. How could a foundation-building cultivator catch up with him?

After thinking for a long time, Lu Ya felt a little drowsy, and always felt that something was not going right.

But the vague aura of destruction just now could not be faked.

"We can't wait any longer."

Lu Ya's spiritual consciousness spread out, and his figure crawled in the mud in a strange way.

“The underground cave is hidden here.”

"You are not strong enough, so..."

"die!"

…

Inside the cave, yellow mud suddenly rolled up from the soil, and yellow tree roots emerged, which pierced Shen Lian's body in an instant.

After being pierced, Shen Lian was visibly stunned.

He wanted to struggle, but was held tightly by the protruding tree roots.

Lu Ya was a little surprised. Those Taoist friends who had killed cultivators knew that there would be a "pop" sound when the flesh and blood was pierced through.

But there was something wrong with this voice.

“What a strong spirituality.”

wrong!

The range of the tree roots' clenching was getting smaller and smaller. Instead of a clanging sound, there was a splashing sound, and water flowed through the gap into the pool next to it.

This surprised Lu Ye. He had never seen such a method before.

"go!"

Tree roots grew out of the soil again and crashed into the pool of water.

Sizzle!

But before it fell onto the tree roots in the pool, they were covered with colorful spots of light. At this moment, the light spots were corroding the tree roots, emitting sizzling black smoke.

poisonous!

In an instant, the roots that had grown out broke, discarding the parts that were contaminated with the spiritual poison. New branches grew out, stirring up the water in the pool.

“No one!”

"out!"

Suddenly, the entire cave began to shake violently, and countless tree roots grew out of the soil in all directions.

Wherever there is soil, it is filled with dense tree roots.

A figure was caught by the tree roots.

"Hey, puppet."

The fluttering sound was heard everywhere, and it was impossible to tell from which direction it came.

Just at this moment.

When the puppet was surrounded by countless branches, lightning and fire collided inside the puppet, causing it to explode.

Horrifying thunder and fire surged in the narrow cave, and the electric sparks burned countless tree roots into nothingness in an instant.

The power of the explosion of an ordinary jade talisman is like causing a dragon to roll deep in the earth, and energy surges out from the ground in wave after wave.

From the cracked earth, streaks of lightning and fire erupted.

"ah……"

Screams were heard, and Lu Ya's disheveled figure emerged from the crack in the ground, slapping the flames on his body in fear.

He glanced around and saw five phantoms of different colors, all casting spells at the same time.

Streams of light emitting the destructive aura of thunder and fire attacked from all directions.

"No!"

Feeling the thunder and fire, Lu Ya was subconsciously startled. The mud below rolled up and formed huge earth swords that protected him in the middle.

“Boom!”

Three Fires Returning to the Mountain Talisman Formation.

The thirty-six jade talismans formed three sequences, creating three spheres of lightning and fire, which slammed down towards the standing earth swords.

As thunder and fire rolled, they blasted the earth sword apart. The splashing sparks covered the area, causing Lu Ya to dodge subconsciously.

"The fake pill cultivator is indeed very tough. The talisman array that can rival the fake pill cultivator is not strong enough in terms of power or quantity. It looks like it needs to be strengthened."

Thousands of feet away, Shen Lian frowned when he saw the figure still struggling in the thunder and fire. He then made some hand gestures and the suspended Five Elements Immortal Puppet once again sacrificed the jade talisman.

At this moment, the yellowish-brown buds in Lu Ya's pupils trembled continuously, causing him to lose his composure and be hit by thunder and fire.

"Ah...you are not from Xuanhai Sect, who are you!"

But in response to Lu Ya, four jade talismans condensed into pillars of lightning and fire, falling down with a crackling sound.

This time, the earth sword guarding Lu Ya's side completely shattered, and the splashing lightning and fire were like sword rain, piercing his body into a sky full of stars.

From time to time, one could see fire and lightning coming out of the holes, causing his body to tremble violently.

A ball of ochre-colored spiritual light shook violently and emerged from the position of its heart. Broken tree buds grew out of the spiritual light.

A strong smell of decay and evil wafts out from the tree buds.

"stop!"

Waves were heard from the trembling tree buds struck by lightning and fire.

"Let me go, and you set the conditions."

In the distance, Shen Lian was dazed as he looked at the strange tree buds that appeared.

Puppet? Or parasite?

The scene in front of me was so weird. No wonder the figure just now was so afraid of thunder and fire. It turned out that he was possessed by a tree bud.

This tree bud looks like a smaller version of a fat bamboo shoot, with overlapping black and yellow spots on its surface. It looks extremely ugly and exudes a strong sense of filth and evil, as if it is a combination of filth and evil thoughts.

Demonic energy!

This voice! Suddenly, Shen Lian was startled.

This rather gloomy voice is...

The Black Cliff Demon!

When killing Xiang Jingying before, the old devil left this tone in the air.

The old demon is a tree bud? At this moment, Shen Lian was a little suspicious whether he had made a mistake.

"It's you!"

Suddenly, a ball of divine power emerged from the suspended tree buds, and a vague shadow emerged, looking at the five elements spirit puppets floating around.

"The ancestor remembered you. You killed one of his chess pieces."

"Stop, stop, stop it!"

"The ancestor admires you very much. If you become my disciple, I guarantee that you will be promoted to the Golden Core True Person immediately."

Amid the splashing of lightning and fire, the suspended tree buds ran around in panic, and every time they tried to escape, they were blasted back by the lightning and fire.

When Shen Lian heard that the Black Cliff Patriarch recognized him, his eyes narrowed.

The Five Elements Spirit Puppet attacked again, and the remaining Xiao Tianyan Jade Talisman in his hand flew out like flowers scattered by a fairy.

Feeling the breath of destruction in the air, a loud cry came from the tree buds.

"I have supreme magic, real magic, I'll give it to you..."

Boom boom boom! After three attacks by jade talismans and talisman arrays that were as powerful as fake pills, the tree bud was bombarded by more than forty small Tianyan jade talismans, and the entire tree bud was cracked into pieces in the sea of ​​thunder and fire.

After experiencing several attacks of such power, this land was completely reduced to ruins. The ground was cracked, charred, with potholes and splashes of lightning and fire.

The previously shattered corpse was also turned into ashes in the thunder and fire.

Only a ray of spiritual light flew out in the thunder and fire, and was caught in the hands of the Five Elements Spirit Puppet in mid-air.

After coming out from the hidden earth, Shen Lian looked at the ruins in front of him. Even if he wanted to hide the aura of battle, there was no way.

The entire area was completely destroyed by lightning and fire.

If you want to cover the aura of thunder and fire in this area, you must have a stronger level of power to baptize this place again.

Shen Lian can't do it now.

I'm really in trouble.

Was it the Black Cliff Ancestor who was killed by the explosion? Shen Lian shook his head slightly. The tree buds were most likely a means for the Black Cliff Ancestor to control other people. It was impossible for the old demon himself.

He suffered a huge loss this time. He ran into the old demon for no reason. Not only did he use up all the small Tianyan jade talismans he had accumulated, but he also used up the ordinary jade talisman.

Nothing was caught...

At this moment, Shen Lian's expression suddenly became serious.

A brilliant spiritual light burst out from the Five Elements Spirit Puppet.

What was that flash of light just now?

Subconsciously, Shen Lian wanted to control the spirit puppet and throw it away.

But a rich and pure breath, purer, thicker and warmer than the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, permeated and drilled into the body of the spirit puppet.

"What is this?"

Shen Lian distanced himself from the Five Elements Spirit Puppet and used his spiritual power to sense the spiritual light he had just captured through the air.

It was a shell, which was previously sealed. Due to the continuous explosion of fake pill-level energy, cracks appeared in the shell and the energy inside overflowed.

After this energy overflowed, it was quickly absorbed by the Five Elements Spirit Puppet.

He tried to put the shell into his storage ring, but found it was useless and he couldn't put it in.

Instead, the shell merged into his body, and in an instant, Shen Lian came back to his senses.

No matter why the old demon Heiya came out of Ao Shi Fairy City on the teleportation array, or what kind of spiritual object this thing is, it is not advisable to stay here for long.

We must leave the waters of Ao Shi Xian City immediately.

I won’t ride on this ship, no matter whether it’s a good ship or not.

Run! (End of this chapter)
