Chapter One Hundred and Twenty: Cao Wenjin's Decision
Chihu Mountain Oasis.
When Zhou Yang cut through the capsule space in the body of the "Earth Dragon Earthworm" with a sword, as a large amount of acid poured out from the gap, the "Earth Dragon Earthworm" that had stopped to swallow the mud and rocks suddenly
Like a deflated rubber ball, the huge body quickly withered and shrank.
After a while, only a body of less than twenty meters remained in place.
"Sure enough, the legend is indeed correct. Monsters like the [Earth Dragon Earthworm] indeed possess magical powers such as the golden cicada's ability to escape from its shell as a substitute!"
Underground, Zhou Yang looked at the body of the "Earth Dragon Earthworm" less than twenty meters below his feet, with a look of regret on his face.
Just now, he slashed through the capsule space in the body of "Earth Dragon Earthworm" with his sword. In fact, he had already caused serious damage to this monster that was difficult to heal. As long as he applied more force, it would not be difficult to kill him!
It's a pity that after feeling the danger of death, "Earth Dragon Earthworm" decisively used the innate magical power of "Escape by cutting off its tail" and directly abandoned half of its body and fled here.
Under the ground, "Earth Dragon Earthworm" wants to escape. Not to mention that he used the magic secret technique to regain his magic power. Even if a monk from the Zifu period comes, he may not be able to leave behind who wants to escape.
other side.
Of course, "Escape by cutting off the tail" is not without cost. "Earth Dragon Earthworm" used this innate magical power, and although he escaped with his life, his cultivation level also dropped by two levels and fell to the third level, and he will not be able to do so in the future.
Do you know if you still have a chance to live to adulthood?
Although Zhou Yang did not leave behind the "Earth Dragon Earthworm", an extremely rare third-level high-grade monster, he also harvested a small half of the opponent's body, which is not a complete gain.
Although it is only a smaller half of the body of "Earth Dragon Earthworm", it is larger than many third-level monsters, and can barely make up for the loss caused by his "Blood Boiling Technique".
Zhou Yang did not have a storage bag that could completely contain such a large monster corpse. For this reason, he had to maintain the "blood boiling technique" for a while and use the flying sword to cut the corpse into several pieces.
In a storage bag.
After doing all this, he moved and quickly escaped from the underground to the ground.
Then he didn't care to check where he was in the depths, and quickly took out a set of second-level high-grade formations "Small Five Elements Lost Tracing Formation" from his storage bag, set it up, sat down on the spot and cast a spell to disperse the "Blood Boiling Technique"
Effect.
puff!
As soon as the effect of the "Blood Boiling Technique" was lifted, Zhou Yang suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood. Then his face turned bright red and bleeding, and the blood dissipated instantly, turning whiter than snow in the blink of an eye.
If that's all, what's even worse is that after Zhou Yang lifted the "blood boiling technique", he soon discovered that many tiny blood vessels in his body had burst and bleed, and even the meridians had looming cracks!
If this situation is not handled well, it will leave internal injuries on his body that are difficult to heal, completely cutting off the possibility of his future progress in cultivation!
This discovery immediately made Zhou Yang's face become extremely ugly.
If he had known that the consequences of using the "blood boiling technique" were so serious, he might still have used this secret magic technique to save his life, but he would never have maintained the effect of the secret technique to deal with the loot after escaping from the tiger's mouth.
It's a pity that the matter has come to this, and it is useless for him to regret it in his heart. He can only accept this fact with great pain.
Then he silently took out some healing elixirs from the storage bag, swallowed them, and used the power of the exercises to refine the elixirs to heal his injuries.
It's just that the healing elixirs on his body are all of the second level. For him who is in the foundation building stage, the effect can be very limited. In the most optimistic case, it will take several years to return to a good state.
Only then can it be restored to its original state.
While Zhou Yang was hiding to heal, the two "Golden-winged Thunder Eagles", after discovering that they could not deal with the mountain-protecting formation of Chihu Mountain, began to attack crazily all the visible human monks on the oasis, even Huang
The mortals who have migrated to the oasis will not be spared either!
Now Cao Wenjin of Huangshamen couldn't sit still.
He may not care about the two "Gold-winged Thunder Eagles" attacking Chihu Mountain, but he absolutely cannot tolerate these two beasts massacring mortals!
It’s not that Huangshamen cannot afford to lose the hundreds of thousands of mortals on the Chihu Mountain oasis, but that this hole cannot be opened. Once this hole is opened, people like Zhang Yunpeng in Huangshamen who have climbed up step by step from ordinary mortal families will
The monks will definitely feel cold towards the sect because of this matter.
And these monks who have climbed up from ordinary mortal families not only account for nearly half of the disciples of Huangshamen, but they are also the most loyal and reliable group of people to the sect.
If Cao Wenjin had to choose, he would rather have a battle with the fifth-level monster "Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle" in the Duanyun Mountain Range than chill the hearts of these loyal ministers of the sect.
As a result, Jiang Ming, a golden elixir-stage monk from Huangshamen who had just returned from Liuyunzhou's immortal world, was once again ordered to rush to Chihu Mountain, the spiritual mountain that he had personally led.
As soon as Jiang Ming, a second-level Golden Core monk, arrived, he just released the aura of a Golden Core monk from afar, and the two "Golden Winged Thunder Eagles" became frightened birds and fled the oasis in an instant.
What Cao Wenjin and Jiang Ming didn't expect was that although the two "Golden Winged Thunder Eagles" fled the oasis because they were afraid of Jiang's obvious aura of a Golden Core monk, they still lingered around the oasis without any interruption of their return.
Signs of cloud mountains.
"What's going on? Are these two beasts really crazy? Or is there something on the oasis that attracts them?"
The two golden elixir ancestors of Huangshamen were confused. The abnormal behavior of the two "Golden Winged Thunder Eagles" made this matter more and more complicated and difficult to figure out.
There was no way, facing these two "Golden-winged Thunder Eagles" that could not be killed or driven away, Huang Shamen's two golden elixir monks could only let Jiang Ming continue to sit on the Red Tiger Mountain to deter the two.
"Golden-winged Thunder Eagle", while secretly checking all the monks' storage bags on Chihu Mountain and the entire Lingshan Mountain to see what is attracting the two "Golden-winged Thunder Eagle".
However, at this moment, the demon cultivator, who had been silent for a while, reappeared.
This time, it was a foundation-building family that was brutally attacked by demonic cultivators. It was the Liu family of Chixia Mountain, which was famous in the world of cultivating immortals in the Baisha River Oasis.
The Liu family originally had several foundation-building monks, and at the exchange meeting on the Baisha River oasis, they used treasures as inducements to get three foundation-building casual monks to agree to serve as his family's guest ministers and to guard Chixia Mountain, the family's spiritual mountain.
However, Chixia Mountain, which had as many as seven foundation-building monks garrisoned, quickly fell under the attack of the demon cultivators. When the ancestor of the Chen family who was stationed in the Baisha River Oasis arrived at Chixia Mountain with reinforcements, the original mountain
The beautiful Chixia Mountain has been dyed red by the blood of hundreds of Liu family monks and countless mortals.
A powerful family with a heritage of six to seven hundred years was wiped out overnight!
"Don't stop me, I want to see Ancestor Cao, I want to see Ancestor Jiang, and I want to ask these two ancestors why our Huangshamen, as the overlord of the Immortal Cultivation World in the Boundless Sand Sea, will connect several Zifu Demons
Is there nothing Xiudu can do?"
"Our Liu family has been working as cattle and horses for Huangshamen for hundreds of years. For eighteen generations, at least ten Liu family members in each generation joined Huangshamen to serve the sect. Lius sacrificed their lives for the sect one after another.
There are more than 300 family members, and the total value of the tribute resources paid to the sect exceeds 300,000 spiritual stones..."
"This disciple dares to ask the two ancestors why my Liu family has served the sect conscientiously for hundreds of years, but in the end the whole family ended up being wiped out? If the sect doesn't even have the ability to protect the vassal family, what shame will it have?
Let the vassal families pay tribute to the sect?"
"Please ask the two ancestors to answer the disciple's questions! Please ask the sect to give an explanation to the disciple and the Liu family!"
Outside Cao Wenjin's cave, Liu Zhitao, the only remaining foundation-building monk of the Liu family in Chixia Mountain, knelt on his knees outside the gate of the cave, looking at the gate of the cave with grief and indignation, and kept roaring.
Behind him, Guo Shuyun, the master of the Huangshamen General Affairs Hall, and twenty or thirty Zifu and foundation-building monks who were inside the mountain gate looked at this scene with admiration and regret in their eyes.
Liu Zhitao's courage is undoubtedly admirable. As a monk in the foundation period, he dared to question the Jindan Patriarch at the top of the sect. This courage is unparalleled by anyone in the entire Huangsha Sect.
However, his behavior, which was close to forcing him into the palace, seriously violated the Huangshamen's rules. Even if he was a foundation-building monk, he would definitely be severely punished by the rules afterwards.
But inside the cave, Cao Wenjin listened to Liu Zhitao's mournful roar outside the cave, his face turned black to charcoal.
He has been practicing for more than 800 years. Since he opened the Purple Mansion more than 600 years ago, this is the first time that he has been questioned and offended like this by a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Normally, let alone the Foundation Establishment monk, even if the Zifu monk dared to question him like this, he would have slapped him down and killed him on the spot.
But it doesn't work now. Now Huangshamen is experiencing a crisis that has never happened in a thousand years. The entire sect, including the monks in the entire boundless sand sea, are watching him.
If he ignored Liu Zhitao and slapped him to death outside, he would certainly be able to relieve the evil spirit in his chest, but it would also be what those demon cultivators wanted, causing a gap between the many immortal cultivating families who were in the same camp as Liu Zhitao and Huang Shamen, and eventually
Push these original allies and younger brothers into the enemy's camp.
"The sect will handle this matter on its own. For the foundation-building monks lost by the Liu family, the sect will compensate you with foundation-building pills in full. The sect will definitely avenge the genocide of the Liu family to you!"
"I dare not say that I can guarantee that every family that relies on the sect will be safe and sound, but I can guarantee here that as long as a family dies because of resisting the demon cultivators and the foundation-building monks are killed, the sect will help their families survive in the future.
We will distribute a corresponding amount of foundation-building pills to the survivors for free as compensation, and help the survivors of their families rebuild their families!”
"Are you satisfied with my handling of this matter?"
The sky above the Huangshamen Mountain Gate suddenly changed color. Cao Wenjin was sitting in the cave, his lips slightly opening and closing, but the words that came out of his mouth were like thunder in the ears of all the monks in the entire mountain gate.
Explosion.
"Disciple, satisfied!"
Outside the cave, Liu Zhitao had a heartfelt smile on his face after hearing the thunderous words.
The words spoken by the Jindan period monk with Tianxian in his mouth are more binding than any guarantee. With Cao Wenjin’s status, since he said these words, it is absolutely impossible for him to go back on his words at all, and he cannot afford the consequences of going back on him.
consequences.
Then he looked back at Guo Shuyun and other disciples standing behind him, grinned and said: "Liu is lucky to be able to be in the same class as you all. If there is reincarnation in this world, Liu is willing to enter Huangshamen again in the next life to practice!
"
After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes, looked back at Cao Wenjin's Cave Mansion with wide eyes, and shouted: "Disciple Liu Zhitao has committed an offence, bumped into the ancestor, and is willing to be punished according to the sect's rules!"
After saying this, a surge of mana surged through his body, directly destroying his Dantian meridians and heart.
"Hey! Why bother with this!"
Guo Shuyun let out a long sigh, then bent down and bowed to Liu Zhitao's body on the ground, turned around and left.
When the other monks saw this, they all shook their heads and sighed, then bowed and silently turned around and went down the mountain.
After everyone left, a bolt of thunder suddenly "boomed" from the sky and chopped Liu Zhitao's body on the ground into ashes on the spot.
