Chapter 309: The road is long and deep, and people’s hearts are complicated
"Strange, we are almost at the top of the mountain, why haven't we seen any disciples from Songshan Temple? Could it be that they are so scared that they dare not even leave the temple?"
"I don't know, but I always have a bad feeling..."
"You are probably overthinking it. In addition to the disciples from the Biluo Temple, there are also cultivators from Liuyun outside the mountain."
“Not to mention that there is only one Nascent Soul cultivator in Songshan. Even if they were given another one, facing this doomed situation, they still wouldn’t have the slightest chance of turning the tables.”
On Xinsong Mountain, several disciples of Biluo Temple said this.
At this time, an hour had passed since they entered the mountain.
During this time, they didn't even meet a disciple from Songshan Temple.
Not even a single living person was seen.
This is undoubtedly very strange.
However, due to their confidence in the coalition of the two temples, the disciples of Biluo Temple did not think much about it in the end.
I just thought that the people in Songshan Temple were too scared to come out.
But what they didn't notice was that just after they went up the mountain, the fog over the entire New Song Mountain began to thicken at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, it reached a point where it was pitch dark.
If it is just an ordinary fog, cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage can rely on their spiritual sense to explore and easily break it.
But if these fogs can even block the spiritual consciousness of the monks, then it will be troublesome.
Because this means that at this time, even cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage cannot grasp the situation around them.
It's easy to fall into an unknown ambush.
The fog that is now appearing on Xinsong Mountain is exactly this situation.
"ah!"
In a woods somewhere in Xinsong Mountain, several disciples of Biluo Temple were walking when they suddenly heard a scream not far away.
Without any hesitation, under the leadership of a Foundation Establishment disciple, ten Qi Condensation disciples nearby followed, and the group of people rushed towards the source of the screams in a hurry.
When they arrived, the scene before them made everyone look solemn.
What came into view were dozens of corpses of Liuyun Temple disciples.
These guys died in a very miserable way. Some were beheaded, and some were cut in half.
Others were shot through the vital parts.
It can be said that everyone has their own way of dying.
Among these people, there are two disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Even they died in unclear circumstances, not to mention that their team only consisted of a small group of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
For a moment, everyone present became worried.
"Brother Luo, how about we try to get in touch with the elders in the temple first?"
"There is something strange going on in Songshan right now. We haven't even seen the shadow of the enemy yet, and so many of our fellow disciples have already been killed."
"If we continue on this path, we might end up following in the footsteps of these fellow apprentices."
"Shut up!"
The leading senior brother named Luo scolded, then squatted down and began to observe the wounds on the corpses.
After careful observation, he actually found some clues.
The wounds on these corpses and the remaining magical fluctuations were very familiar to him.
These are clearly the means used by Biluo Temple.
If it was just one corpse, it could be explained as accidental injury.
But after he looked at all the bodies, he found that the wounds on each body were the same.
This also gave him a rough understanding of the cause and effect of the matter.
"These brothers all died at the hands of their own people."
"ah?"
Facing the exclamations of his fellow disciples, Senior Brother Luo did not care, but continued to analyze: "To be able to bewitch so many people at once, either a cultivator at the Jindan stage took action, or some kind of large formation was set up here."
"I personally prefer the latter. After all, I haven't heard of any magical power similar to the spell of bewitching among the methods of Songshan Temple."
"I think they know they can't defeat us if they go out of the mountains, so they asked people to set up such a large formation on the mountain."
"Don't worry, everyone. If even I can find out, the elders in the temple must have found out too."
"As long as the elders break this formation, Songshan will be like a turtle without a shell, and can only be slaughtered by others."
"Everyone, be careful. If you encounter an enemy later, don't rush to attack. Maybe the enemy is not an enemy, but our fellow disciples."
Listening to Brother Luo’s well-reasoned analysis.
The disciples of Biluo Temple present gradually calmed down from their original nervousness.
Their situation was seen clearly by the little white deer in the mountains.
"Alas, I thought these guys would find out later. It seems that Master's formation won't last long."
The little white deer sat on the white jade crown of the main body, with a look of sadness on its face.
At present, there are four Jindan cultivators and hundreds of foundation-building and Qi-training cultivators in Songshan.
These guys are easy to deal with. Even without relying on Lu Chen's formation, Xiao Bailu is confident that he can deal with them one by one on his own.
The real trouble was actually the two bone boats parked outside Songshan.
Although the little white deer did not leave the mountain, it does not mean that she cannot sense the situation outside the mountain.
As the mountain god of Xinsong Mountain, every blade of grass and every tree on the mountain can serve as the little white deer's eyes.
Therefore, she could clearly sense what kind of terrible danger was hidden on those two boats.
That was an existence that she could never fight against alone.
But no matter how difficult it was, the little white deer never thought of retreating.
Now no one knows where her master has gone, and she is the only one who is in charge of the huge Biyou Palace.
If she doesn't stand up at this time, who else can stand up?
Thinking of this, the little white deer stood up, clenched his fists tightly, and showed a determined look.
"Master said that if a cultivator above the Nascent Soul stage appears, I should hide well."
"But right now, those Nascent Soul cultivators are still hiding outside and dare not come in. The ones who come in are only cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage."
"In this case, I don't think there's any need to hide."
"Otherwise, once they reach the top of the mountain and find that there is no one on Song Mountain, they will sooner or later follow the clues and find the Biyou Palace inside the mountain."
"Right now, I am the only one who can protect the Biyou Palace!"
Xiao Bailu's tone was firm, as if the entire Biyou Palace was being carried on her shoulders alone.
Thinking of this, the little white deer made a decision that went against his master.
She... is about to take action! Not long after, the little white deer relied on his natal sword as a carrier and left the Biyou Palace quietly in the form of a clone.
What she didn't know was that at this moment, Lu Chen had already returned to the original Songshan Temple location on the top of the mountain and saw everything she did.
Looking at the reckless little white deer, Lu Chen shook his head.
He thought that after three months of teaching, the little white deer had already deeply understood what "stability" meant and what "planning before making decisions" meant.
But now it seems that the little white deer is still too small.
Even if the innate spiritual body has a very high level of comprehension and a strong learning ability.
But in just a few months, she still couldn't learn much life experience.
After all, there are some things that you cannot truly learn just by hearing or reading about them in books.
You have to experience it once for yourself.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen was no longer in a hurry to take action.
This is a good opportunity to teach the little white deer a profound lesson.
Let her understand that it is best not to expose herself to the enemy until she is absolutely sure.
The reason why Lu Chen was not worried about the safety of the little white deer.
It is because he has already established contact with the Daqianshan disciples who are in charge of this place.
And reached some kind of deal with the other party.
This is why he came out some time ago.
It can be said that with the completion of the transaction, the fate of Liuyun and Biluo has been determined.
They thought they were chess players, but little did they know that they had become chess pieces on Lu Chen's chessboard.
Even the Nascent Soul cultivator from Daqian Mountain was just another chess piece on Lu Chen's chessboard...
The top of New Songshan Mountain.
There were not many people from Liuyun Temple present at this time, only four.
But these four people, without exception, are all Jindan-level cultivators.
Otherwise, they would not have been able to break through the formation left in the mountains and come here.
The four of them looked at the closed door of Songshan Temple and did not rush to take action.
Because along the way, they have learned a lot of the methods of "Songshan Temple".
Whether it is the fog formation that covers the entire mountain, or the extremely lethal sword formation within it.
They all caused them a lot of trouble.
If the four of them had not gathered together early and had not had their sophisticated means.
Perhaps they were destroyed by the formation before they even got here.
Having suffered such a huge loss, the four naturally became cautious.
Besides, they were just the vanguard troops that came in to investigate the situation. Their mission was only to find out the distribution of the monks in Songshan Temple and to roughly explore what dangerous places there were in the mountain.
There is no doubt that they have almost completed their mission by reaching the top of Songshan Mountain.
So next they just need to pass on the information here.
But just as the four were preparing to go down the mountain, something unexpected happened.
The environment around the four people began to change rapidly.
The Songshan Mountain that was originally shrouded in fog disappeared.
In its place was a huge white jade tree.
Looking at the magnificent white jade tree in the distance, the four people with broad vision understood what had happened.
"Oh no, it's the Sword Domain, everyone be careful!"
A Jindan stage cultivator said this as he began to retreat.
It was obvious from his appearance that he was planning to use the others as bait to buy himself time to escape.
But among the other three, two had the same idea as him.
They all started to retreat at the first opportunity.
Only one person seemed to be stunned, standing there motionless.
Looking at the Jindan stage cultivator who was standing still, the little white deer who was using the sword domain instinctively felt that the other party was frightened by his sword domain, so he didn't pay too much attention to the other party.
He directly attacked the other three Jindan stage cultivators from Biluo Temple who wanted to escape.
But when the countless sword energy branches transformed from the Little White Deer Sword Domain swept towards the three Jindan stage cultivators.
A majestic aura emanated from that ordinary Jindan stage cultivator.
"Law of Heaven and Earth?!"
The little white deer looked at the giant snake that appeared in front of it in an instant, and the expression on its face was stunned.
She had clearly carefully observed the people who went up the mountain and only took action after making sure that there were no Nascent Soul cultivators.
But I never thought that the other party was so insidious.
He actually used a secret method to conceal his own cultivation level and disguised himself as an ordinary Jindan stage cultivator.
No wonder the master said that the outside world is very complicated and many things cannot be solved by cultivation alone.
She has only been here for more than three months, how can she beat these old guys who have lived for hundreds of years! At this time, the Yuanying stage monk Lu Zhiwei of Biluo Temple was completely exposed, and his shock was not much less than that of the little white deer.
A spiritual body in the foundation-building stage has already mastered the sword domain of the Hedao realm.
He could also tell that the child was definitely not very old.
It is very likely that it was born not long ago.
When he thought of this, Lu Zhiwei's eyes were filled with greed.
If he could swallow the little white deer, he would still be able to obtain all of its talents.
But even if he only gets one tenth of it, it will still allow him to achieve a complete transformation.
Who knows, it might even increase his chances of success in reaching the Spiritual Transformation Stage in the future.
"I never thought that I would have such an unexpected reward when I quietly climbed the mountain. God really treats me well."
While laughing, Lu Zhiwei smashed the sword domain cast by the little white deer.
For ordinary Jindan stage cultivators, the little white deer's Hedao realm sword domain is almost unstoppable.
But for Lu Zhiwei, who is in the Nascent Soul stage and has mastered the laws of heaven and earth.
The sword domain of the Hedao realm in the foundation-building period is still too fragile.
It is impossible to trap a behemoth like the Nascent Soul Stage.
Looking at Lu Zhiwei who was attacking him quickly, the little white deer no longer had any intention of fighting.
Without hesitation, he turned and ran.
The direction she ran was not towards the Biyou Palace in the mountain.
But outside the mountain.
Although the situation was dangerous, Xiao Bailu knew that he must not expose the existence of Biyou Palace.
Without her natal flying sword, her foundation was damaged and her vitality was seriously injured.
But what if Lu Zhiwei found the Biyou Palace and discovered his true form.
Then it's not as simple as just getting injured.
However, the little white deer still underestimated the methods of the Nascent Soul cultivators.
Almost at the same time when the little white deer wanted to escape, the scales between the eyebrows of the giant snake not far away burst into a strange green light.
Under the illumination of the green light, the little white deer felt his body becoming stiff, and even the circulation of the spiritual energy in his body became difficult.
Not long after, he fell directly from the air and hit the ground heavily.
The little white deer raised its head and looked with fear at the giant snake above its head that was looking down at it.
I really regretted not listening carefully to Master Lu Chen.
The master clearly said that we should not only focus on the present, but also never rely on luck.
She shouldn't have been naive enough to think that only those in the Jindan stage went up the mountain.
She should prepare for the worst case scenario, and make plans based on the premise that there will be cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or even higher.
Tender, she is indeed still too tender.
I saw the giant snake above my head opening its bloody mouth and getting closer and closer to me.
The little white deer closed his eyes in despair.
But the next second, a familiar voice came from her ear.
"After this incident, you should understand the truth that your teacher taught you before."
The little white deer turned around in surprise and found that Lu Chen had come to her side without her noticing...
