Chapter 227 Spring Returns
Master Shangrui has lived for a long time and has seen too many conspiracies and plots. As soon as these words came out, he came to his senses, retracted his outstretched hand in an instant, and turned around to return to the Shangxu Wanging area.
Even if the other party really lied to him, losing face for this is just a small matter. At worst, he can get back at it and pay it back tenfold.
But he was really afraid that the other party had set a trap and lured him in.
Master Shangrui turned around and transformed into a ray of green light and ascended to the sky. He did not even return to the mountain gate, for fear of being plotted against.
But since Taoist Yuanchu dared to say this, then it must be true! A large golden net suddenly appeared above the Nine Heavens, blocking the way of Master Shangrui. A majestic middle-aged man in a golden robe walked out with a smile, "Master Shangrui, I haven't seen you for a long time. The last time we met was when we were fighting for the Tianzhi Xuanling Grass in Jiuzhou."
After seeing who was coming, Master Shangrui's expression changed instantly. The person in front of him turned out to be the Palace Master of Jinyuan Palace from Shangxuanhai!
Not only was Shangrui Zhenren surprised, but Yuanchu Taoist was also quite surprised. The Lord of Jinyuan Palace was a subordinate of Cangminghai Palace in the Twelve Immortal Sects, and was a subordinate of Renshui Zhenjun.
Such a big thing happened in the sky, Ren and Gui were separated, but I didn't expect Jin Yuan was willing to come.
Master Shangrui's face instantly turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Jin Yuan, I have no grudge against you, why do you have to stop me?"
"No grudges or hatred? Haha, the struggle for the great way for the pursuit of cultivation is an irreconcilable hatred!" Jin Yuan replied unmoved.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Shen Jin figure in front of him was drawn into the golden spirit bag and began to press towards the real person.
Taoist Shangrui turned pale. Although the Yimu Taoism he practiced was magical, it was defeated by Shenjin. Two thousand years ago, he had a fierce battle with the golden dragon for the spiritual herb. His magical powers and status were three points weaker than the opponent's. In addition, the opponent was a dragon with a long lifespan, and he was not at an advantage in Taoism, so he lost the battle.
He didn't expect that the old dragon would actually conspire with the Qi Ling Sect to plot against him. He immediately secretly sent his divine power to the Jiuxiao Yunque Palace, and at the same time activated the Yimu divine power, guiding the Jiutian status to transform into a ten-thousand-foot-tall giant tree, towering between heaven and earth, with its gnarled roots piercing into the earth, and its lush canopy supporting the Shenjin Lingdou.
After he had put himself out of danger, he spoke again, "Jin Yuan, don't let others take advantage of you for nothing! The Qi Ling Sect is not a good group!
Even if they really break into Jingyuan Xuan Palace, you won’t get any benefit.”
"You don't need to worry about that." Jin Yuan sneered and said, "If you can hand over eight or nine Yimu sacred branches, I will turn around and leave."
"Eight or nine? Do you want to kill me, old Taoist?" Upon hearing this, Master Shangrui became furious. His Taiyi Divine Willow could only produce one branch every thousand years. Wouldn't eight or nine branches mean the end of his life?
"Haha, then don't blame me for being merciless!" Jin Yuan stretched out his hand, and a long spear came through the air. He held it in his hand and it fell heavily, smashing into the body of the giant willow.
Countless willow leaves flew out from the crown of the giant willow tree and lifted up the giant halberd. The emerald green light and the grand golden glow collided, causing the void in all directions to shake, and the surrounding mountains also shook along with it.
The place where the roots of this giant willow are located is the Guangyuan Mountains.
The mountains shook and rocks fell.
Seeing this scene, Taoist Yuanchu frowned and waved his sleeves. Countless drops of water fell into the soil around the willow roots. However, they did not help them grow. Instead, they raised their energy, like a snake or a python entwining itself and absorbing their vitality and nutrients.
Fortunately, the two Jindan Zhenren knew that they were in the human world and did not dare to use their full strength. In addition, with the help of Taoist Yuanchu to stabilize the terrain, no major disaster occurred.
In the Jiuxiao Yunque Palace, deep in the clouds, Master Lu Zhang hesitated for a moment. It was obvious that the current situation was a trap set by someone, and not just one side. Otherwise, after the Taixu Zhongyuan Guihe, Jin Yuan would never help the Qi Ling faction.
But if he sits back and does nothing, he might lose two allies at once, which would be very detrimental to his future plans.
After hesitating for a long time, this calm Taoist finally set off. However, he was not heading to Qi Ling Sect, but to the southwest.
He only relied on the wind to fly for a few dozen breaths before arriving in front of the Thousand Swords Gate. He said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!"
"I will go there to uphold justice!" Master Lan Yi of the Thousand Swords Sect responded with a salute.
The two walked side by side towards Qi Ling.
But suddenly there was a gust of cold wind between heaven and earth, the sky dimmed, and Gui Yin walked out from mid-air, blocking the way of the two.
"Two Immortals, since it is raining and you are here to entertain me, why don't you chat with me in the rain?"
When Master Lan Yi saw the feminine man in front of her, her forehead twitched. She said coldly, "Gui Yin, are you going to break the hundred-year agreement we made?"
"Fellow Daoist, don't be angry. I naturally remember that this agreement cannot be violated. That's why I came here to ask you not to fall into the quagmire."
Guiyin smiled with her narrow eyes, and advised her: "Even if you want to help the righteous path, you should also think about yourself and do what you can!"
Upon hearing this, Master Lu Zhang frowned coldly and suppressed his aura, "Gui Yin, you don't have the protection of Master Zhenjun behind you now. Aren't you really afraid that no one will covet your snake treasures?"
Guiyin smiled softly, "Master Guishui is not here now, but it doesn't mean that my Tianyao Dao will lose the protection of the True Lord.
Master Lu, you should just guard your own orthodoxy."
"Do you need to teach me how to do things?" Master Lu sneered and pointed his finger. A bit of spirituality appeared on his fingertips. A flash of inspiration appeared and pierced Guiyin's eyes in an instant. Blood immediately flowed out and blood dripped onto his face. His face was covered with blood for a moment.
Guiyin cried out in pain, caught the blood dripping from his chin with his palm, and made a hissing sound like a snake, and said indistinctly: "Master Lu Zhang is very powerful, but unfortunately there is a saying that Master must have heard.
Supernatural powers cannot defeat destiny! "
After saying that, he turned around and disappeared in front of the two real people.
When Master Lan Yi saw this scene, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised and said, "Senior Lu, I'd better stay and keep an eye on the demon king, lest he take the opportunity to do anything out of line."
Master Lu Zhang's face darkened slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end. He could only sigh and nod, saying, "That's fine."
After saying this, he turned around and ascended to the ninth heaven, intending to go to Qi Ling.
He flew thousands of miles across the sky, but suddenly his body stopped. He saw a figure holding a mountain and sea stick standing in the clouds ahead, sitting in the clouds and waiting for him for a long time.
"Nanchuan Demon King?"
"Hey, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The figure suddenly jumped up and landed on the Nine Sky Cloud Sea, shaking the clouds and dispersing them. "Yes, it is this king."
Master Lu Zhang's face was already gloomy, "Nanchuan, Jinyuan, and Guiyin have all come out. You are definitely not here for the Qiling Sect. I'm afraid you have other plans, right?"
"The Immortal is smart, but even if you guessed it, you can't change it." The Demon King of Nanchuan laughed and said, "I have always heard that Immortal Lu Zhang's seals and magic are divine, and his magic is boundless. Today I can finally experience a little bit of it!"
After saying that, without waiting for the other party to reply, he directly raised the Shanhai Xuan Stick and jumped high. The long stick turned into a thousand feet long and smashed down heavily, sweeping towards Master Lu Zhang like a thunderbolt.
When Master Lu Zhang saw this scene, his expression was solemn, and marks appeared on his fingertips. He took out the jade pen from his waist, drew a line in the air, and the ink-colored brush spread out in the sky, blocking the stick.
Then he picked up his pen and wrote out a series of profound Buddhist texts, using words like "imprison", "ban", and "seal" to restrict the actions of the Nanchuan Demon King.
But the Nanchuan Demon King also had a Four-Life Golden Elixir, and when he attacked with all his strength, even though Master Lu Zhang was slightly stronger, he had to deal with him with all his strength.
At this moment, Master Shangrui who was outside the Qi Ling faction felt even more uneasy. It was obvious that many of these things had been premeditated and countermeasures had been thought out by someone, making it impossible for their alliance to support each other.
"Nothing in the world is done without benefit. Since they can attract so many golden elixirs, what are they planning to do?" Master Shangrui was already finding it difficult to calm down. After being hit by another halberd falling from the sky, he was suddenly startled and figured something out.
"Yes! Most of these man-made things are not the broken mirrors in Jingyuan Xuan Palace, but the countless precious medicines in my Shangxu Wanding Domain, and... my disciple!"
The physical body of a Mu De Zhenren can be compared to countless precious medicines and can be compared to the most precious elixir in the world. If it is compatible with his status and soul, it can be a heavenly elixir that even a Zhenjun would be tempted by!
He had never seen what the top-grade elixir looked like, but it was said that it had unparalleled miraculous effects.
Thinking of this, he immediately found it difficult to remain calm. He distracted his mind and focused his attention on Baili Yu in the Shangxu Wanding area, asking him to immediately activate the mountain protection formation and not to step out of the formation at all.
At this moment, in the Yimu Immortal Mansion in the Heavenly Palace, Yimu Zhenjun looked at the situation in the lower world with an indifferent expression.
The immortal servant beside him couldn't help but ask, "Master Zhenjun, are you really not going to take care of it?"
Yimu Zhenjun glanced at him sideways and sneered, "It's fate, no one else can be blamed. In fact, Yin and Mao are smart and didn't enter this Nanjue Continent.
It seems that this place of destiny, which is fought for by the Dao, is rare in the ages. But in fact, it is just a game. There is no big fight, I am afraid it was all decided from the beginning!
It's just a life-saving elixir, so it doesn't matter if I give it up. It's good to be able to withdraw now."
Outside the Shangxu Wanging area on the Nanjue Continent, dark clouds suddenly covered the entire area, and cries of ghosts and demons were heard, frightening all the disciples.
In the mountain, the mountain protection formation was activated layer by layer. Nine giant tripods stood in the eight directions. Baili Yu sat cross-legged on the central giant tripod, and his soul pushed the mountain protection formation to the extreme.
“Ga ga ga~”
The wild laughter of demons came from outside the mountain. Countless devil sounds confused the minds of all the disciples. It was unknown when the disciples in the mountain began to kill each other in a state of confusion.
Baili Yu, who was at the core of the Yuan Array, immediately stretched out his hand and pointed when he saw this scene. Green light floated in the sky, freezing all the disciples in the mountain to prevent them from killing each other or even going berserk and falling into madness.
Outside the formation, white skeletons crawled out one after another, and an endless army of bones reappeared.
There were endless monsters emitting billowing demonic smoke, all rushing towards the formation.
In addition, the disciples of Wanzhu Mountain also chanted spells and cast them on the light curtain of the formation from a distance.
True Man Jiuyou, True Man Yexian, True Man Cannian, and True Man Hongyin all appeared and stood on one side of the formation. The four figures descended from afar and sealed off the void in all directions.
Each of these four immortals is a second-life or third-life immortal, and each of them can defeat Baili Yu. However, to kill the physical body of a Jindan immortal, one must have strength several times greater than his.
Obviously, such a powerful lineup in front of us is completely enough!
After all, Baili Yu is just a golden elixir that has just been formed, and it is not a flowing state like Yuanshui that can differentiate all waters. Although Maomu has extremely strong vitality, it is not a main virtue like Jiamu that can achieve endless life.
Baili Yu also wanted to retreat at this moment, but he couldn't get his treasure on the list, and he had no support. If he rashly left the mountain protection formation, he was afraid that his fate would be even worse.
Ye Xian Zhenren chuckled and said, "I want all the bones of this kid. You can't snatch them from me."
"Then his flesh and blood will belong to me!" said Master Jiuyou with a sneer.
"That won't do. I still need his flesh to feed the Gu!" Master Hongyin said, "The blood is yours, and the flesh is mine."
"Then his soul will belong to me." said Master Cannian.
The four Jindan reached a tacit understanding, but no one mentioned the ownership of the Maomu position, because they knew that Maomu Zhenjun was not someone to be trifled with. If they dared to touch the Maomu position, Zhenjun would have an excuse to intervene.
On the Qi Ling Sect's law enforcement peak, Taoist Yuanchu silently watched the scene in the distance. The glorious and grand blue sun rose up, and the four evil demons attacked together. Billowing black smoke filled the air, and the sky and the earth darkened, without the sun or the moon.
Master Shangrui's heart was bleeding. He no longer held back. Thousands of willow leaves flew up and gathered into a sea of emerald green leaves, wrapping Jin Yuan tightly. Then he was ready to stand up and rescue the golden elixir disciple he had cultivated with great effort.
But a decree fell from the sky and the empty tower that had remained on Qiyuan Lake for decades suddenly lit up with light, illuminating the darkness and pulling Nanjuezhou out of the hell on earth. The grand green light enveloped Master Shangrui, put him into the tower, and slowly ascended to the sky.
No one tried to stop this scene. Instead, more Jindan Zhenren followed suit and started to fight for the precious medicine in Shangxu Wanding Realm.
Thousand-year-old magical herbs, ten-thousand-year-old magical trees, even tens of thousands of disciples and followers, and tens of millions of ordinary people are all precious medicines.
Demons were rampaging, bones were cold, poisonous insects were chirping, curses were muttered, and the Shangxu Wanding Domain was reduced to ruins in an instant. All the spiritual objects on it were taken away by various golden elixirs, leaving only a few marginal spiritual objects that were ignored.
The four real men left with extremely satisfied smiles, like demons with blood on their mouths, content after plundering.
The green light of the trees in the sky dispersed and turned into green stars, spreading into the Nanjue Continent, nourishing countless spiritual herbs and trees, and the peach blossom forest in front of Guchunyuan came back to spring again.
Taoist Yuanchu sensed the spring breeze coming back from all directions and laughed out loud, "The karma of my suppression back then has finally paid off."
