One thousand nine hundred miles away, on a hill near the Yuan River, a huge manor stood here.
Just as the Songjiang River is indispensable to the Yue Kingdom, the Yuan River is also one of the largest rivers in the Zhou Kingdom. It almost crosses the territory of the Zhou Kingdom and washes out a large area of fertile plains.
This place is one of the six large and small plains in the Zhou Kingdom. Originally, the land here belonged to several families.
But a few years ago, there was only one owner, the Shen family of Zhou Dynasty
The courtyard wall is newly built, tall and majestic, and the smooth wall surface seems to reflect light. The buildings and gardens in the garden are also exquisite, well-proportioned, beautiful and elegant.
People were coming and going in the garden, and countless maids and maids were busy shuttling back and forth, preparing for the upcoming ancestor worship ceremony.
Only the east side of the manor remained quiet. More than ten surrounding earth veins converged here, forming two spiritual eyes, making the east courtyard of the manor the leading spiritual place in the Zhou Kingdom.
Not only Shen Jue and his wife live here, but the Jindan monks who come to Shen Village as guests are also placed in various guest rooms in the east courtyard.
At this time, in the main building of the east courtyard, Chongyangzi was holding a jade talisman and meditating. His face was serious, but there was a slight smile at the corner of his eyes.
Xiao Lingshu stood at the window railing, looking to the north, her eyebrows lightly furrowed and her eyes filled with confusion.
"Dan'er and the others, why haven't they arrived yet?"
"How could it be so fast?"
Hearing this, Chongyangzi sighed and put down the jade talisman in his hand: "The message was sent just one day ago. The ship is twenty-six thousand miles away. Even if it comes at full speed, it will take at least an hour to travel. I know Madam, you always I love Dan'er and I haven't seen him for a long time, but there is no need to be so restless?"
"Shu'er just——"
Xiao Lingshu's tone was choked. She also knew that something was wrong with her state. But in the past two days, she always felt empty and uneasy in her heart.
Shaking her head slightly, Xiao Lingshu suppressed her emotions and looked at the jade talisman Chongyangzi put down. It was a fifth-level letter talisman that could communicate with each other across millions of miles, even on Taiping Road. It is also an extremely precious thing.
And this jade talisman returned to Chongyangzi's hands not long ago.
"But what about Zhuang Wudao? Could it be that there is good news?"
"It's almost certain. This matter is generally settled, but there are still three other things missing."
At this point, Chongyangzi's face showed a smile again, but he didn't speak too fully.
"If this happens, then Li Chen will have no worries for the time being. There is still hope in the land of the East China Sea,"
Speaking of Zhuang Wudao, Xiao Lingshu couldn't describe how she felt. Hatred, fear, disgust, guilty conscience, regret, all kinds of emotions were mixed together. In short, they were engraved in the bones and unforgettable. Especially in the cave of the immortal Taoist. One scene——
Perhaps only when that demon died completely could she bury the events of that day completely in her heart.
Fortunately, there is still a husband. If Chongyangzi's arrangement is followed, then Zhuang, who has no morals and no physiology, will definitely die without a burial place.
Trying her best to suppress the strangeness in her expression, Xiao Lingshu snorted coldly: "I'm just afraid that you will regret it in the future. If you hadn't been soft-hearted at the beginning, how would the situation be like this? If you were willing to be ruthless at that time, you could take that Shen Lie back. How could the South end up in such a state of quarrel with each other?"
"How can it be that simple?"
Chongyangzi's eyes showed helplessness, and he sighed slightly: "Some people want to use their mother and son to mess with my Taoist mind, how can I let them take them back easily?"
Xiao Lingshu fell silent immediately. She was not unaware of the situation back then. If the situation in the Central Plains had not become clearer, the Dalingyan clan and the Sansheng Sect were gradually drifting away. She would not have dared to send people to capture Zhuang Wudao back to the south.
.
After all, it was Chongyangzi who showed his sharpness and caused trouble. I am afraid that the person who laid out this chess piece at the beginning could not have thought that the child who only had a fifth-grade spiritual root and could barely enter the qi training door would actually be in his teens.
Years later, such a sharp edge emerged that surpassed the contemporary era.
Fortunately, everything will be over soon.
"As for regret—"
Chongyangzi smiled faintly, as if it was nothing worthy of his attention. His tone then changed, and he turned to him: "Dan'er, I heard that he seems to be very reluctant?"
"More than just reluctance, I want to run away."
Xiao Lingshu also smiled, her eyes as gentle as water, with a look of doting and helplessness: "He has always been proud and arrogant, how could he be willing to lose to that evil obstacle? Fortunately, it only delayed a few years, and the matter was settled.
After that, whether you still
The words stopped, and Xiao Lingshu felt a panic in her heart for no reason, as if someone had squeezed her heart hard.
Chongyangzi also changed his expression, looked to the north, and murmured in his mouth.
"There is a change in the earth's veins. Someone is setting up a formation?"
Without any further hesitation, Chongyangzi moved and went outside. He flew through the air two thousand feet high, with a sharp light in his eyes.
Two thousand miles away, there is only one Taiping Road, the cold crystal spirit ship that is about to arrive at Shen Village.
Chongyangzi turned his hand slightly and took another jade talisman in his hand. The secret jade talisman of Taiping Dao, but when he was inspired by his thoughts, he realized something was wrong.
It's not that the spell failed, but that no one knew what spell was cast over there. Within four hundred miles around, no one could use the ice escape technique to imprint their own traces and complete the ice shadow transformation technique. It seemed to be caused by some fire-type abnormality.
power, completely isolated.
"Four hundred miles——"
Chongyangzi pondered for a moment, then activated the jade talisman in his hand. The figure flickered, shuttled among the ice spirits, and appeared one thousand four hundred miles away in just a moment.
This is an ice spring underground. Chongyangzi did not pay attention to the surrounding scenery. He raced against the clock and used several void escape talismans in succession. Finally, he saw the cold crystal spirit ship suspended in the void in the distance.
The Taiping Qianyuan Heavenly Frost Formation on the ship had obviously been damaged, leaving only the ability to float. And under the ship, there were a total of seventy-two thunder and fire puppets that he was extremely familiar with, forming a structure with both positive and negative aspects.
Dutian Formation
Chongyangzi's heart sank, and he reached the uppermost deck of the cold crystal spirit ship in a flash. Then his pupils shrank, and a dazzling figure jumped into his field of vision.
"Finally here?"
Three hundred feet away, Zhuang Wudao stood there in plain white Taoist robes. Surrounded by flesh and blood corpses, no one was alive, but there was no blood on Zhuang Wudao's body.
"Zhuang Wudao"
Chongyangzi was about to take a step forward subconsciously, but then he was stunned again. He saw Xiao Dan, his face was ashen at this moment, and he was kneeling beside Zhuang Wudao.
Chongyangzi couldn't help but feel a panic in his heart. Since he worshiped at Taiping Road, he felt a sense of panic that he had never experienced before, and suddenly spread.
"What do you want to do?"
"Father, don't you know what I want to do?"
Zhuang Wudao chuckled, his eyes crazy and psychedelic and slightly self-deprecating: "I asked you this question half a year ago."
"you--"
Chongyangzi clenched his fists and wanted to say evil, but when the words came to his lips, he was choked and couldn't say them out.
Only his eyes turned red like Zhuang Wudao that day.
"Do you hate me? You want me to stop?"
When Zhuang Wudao saw this, he laughed loudly with endless madness. Then he clenched his right hand violently, and Xiao Dan's head suddenly exploded like a watermelon.
"My way is tooth for tooth, blood for blood. The cause of the day, sow the fruit, and say goodbye."
When he said the third word, Zhuang Wudao's figure turned into lightning and flew away, soaring into the sky. Only the lingering sound was left, echoing endlessly.
But at this time, Chongyangzi's face was distorted and extremely ferocious, and all his confidence and calmness were gone.
"Zhuang Wudao"
Beast-like roars and howls, carrying endless sorrow and hatred, spread in all directions, shaking the void. A huge ice sword suddenly slashed towards the place where the thunder light died, but all the sword energy was in vain.
The majestic power of ice spread from the cold crystal spirit ship. A thick layer of ice formed over the entire twenty-mile area.
Together with the seventy-two Thunder Fire Warriors, they were drowned.
A dozen golden elixir monks also came through the sky one after another at this time, but they all looked at the damaged ice ship above with blank expressions and disbelief.
※※※※
It was still the technique of moving light thousands of miles for nine consecutive times, completely eliminating the possibility of pursuit by Chongyangzi and the Taiping Dao monks.
Then Zhuang Wudao cautiously restrained his energy and sneaked for six hundred miles. Then he used the earth escape method to enter an underground cave.
This is a hiding place provided by Yan Xuan for him in the jade slip. There are two hidden earth veins here seven thousand feet underground that can be used.
It's not that Zhuang Wudao has unreserved trust in Yan Xuanzhen, but that he has another trump card.
The four puppet Tianzun can help him move thousands of miles away at any time and escape from the siege. Even the Yuanshen monks are unable to block him without knowing his roots.
And in this northern land, except for Yan Xuan, he has no one he can trust and has no choice.
At this point, the blood ape fighting spirit hidden in Zhuang Wudao's body could no longer hold on. The main reason was that the vitality in his body was exhausted and his physical body had reached its limit. The power inspired by the blood ape fighting spirit's blessing was torn to pieces.
If it continues, it will damage the foundation.
But just before the fighting spirit retreated, Zhuang Wudao activated his true energy and summoned the Eight Scenery Kunlei Sword in front of him. The sword turned into gray smoke and was pointed at himself.
Zhuang Wudao was shocked. The person controlling the sword at this time was not him, but the instinctive consciousness of the blood ape fighting spirit.
After Xiao Dan was killed, the demon seeds in Zhuang Wudao's spiritual thoughts exploded.
Especially in front of Chongyangzi, taking Xiao Dan's life made Zhuang Wudao feel unusually comfortable, and all his anger and anger were vented.
The thoughts flow freely, without any hindrance, and I feel extremely satisfied and happy. It’s like inhaling fairy poppy grass, and I feel ecstasy.
At this moment, half of the demonic obsession accumulated within the demon species dissipated. It turned into streams of cold spiritual energy, seeping into all corners of his soul.
The rest of the demon species has also shrunk significantly, and its scale is even less than half of what it was two years ago.
Zhuang Wudao had been running away, trying his best to restrain his mind. It was not until this predetermined hiding place that his tense mind suddenly relaxed.
Although he was not immediately addicted to the pleasure brought by those cold spiritual currents after the demon seed was broken, he was still in a trance, and his body was controlled by the mind of the sun-devouring blood ape.
