Everyone settled down, facing Shen Luoyan's direction. A long-faced old man with a beard three feet long, holding a black-handled white silk whisk, tilted his neck, and his eyes were cold and sinister. He stared at Shen Luoyan and made a joking sound. .
"Friend Daoist Shen, I have underestimated your ability. I never imagined that there is such a powerful fourth-level magic circle outside your cave."
"However, it would be too simplistic to try to trap me with just such a method!"
The cultivation of this long-faced old man is astonishing. He is at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul stage and is definitely the strongest in the field.
As he spoke, an astonishing aura emanated from his body, sweeping in all directions.
Shen Luoyan and his group, who had just soared into the air, were hit hard by the breath and were hit hard. They fell from the air to the ground like dumplings.
Behind the crowd, there were only a few people who had cultivated in the Qi Refining stage. Under this absolute pressure, they even fell to the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices, showing expressions of extreme pain.
The blood flowed gurglingly, and the few true energy in several people's bodies was directly dispersed.
In the blink of an eye, he fainted, his breath was like a gossamer.
Even the many foundation-building monks could not bear the pressure. They all knelt on the ground with blood flowing from their mouths.
The monks at the Foundation Establishment stage cannot even deal with the powerful ones at the Golden Core stage, let alone the giants at the Nascent Soul stage they are facing now.
Death is most likely to occur in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, expressions of pain and despair appeared on the faces of everyone present.
Feeling the situation of everyone behind him, Shen Luoyan, who was also under tremendous pressure, his face darkened, and the crutch in his hand hit the ground hard with a 'bang' sound.
In an instant, the aura around his body surged several times, and his cultivation level directly surpassed the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir stage, and was promoted to a half-step Nascent Soul cultivation level infinitely approaching the Nascent Soul stage.
Such a state of cultivation is still far from being comparable to the real
Compared to the Nascent Soul Stage monks, it was enough to protect everyone behind him from being oppressed by the long-faced old man's aura and causing death.
"Oh? A half-step Nascent Soul cultivation realm?!"
"Young Taoist Shen really hid it deep enough, it really surprised the old Taoist again!"
"I just don't know what kind of back-up tactics Fellow Daoist Shen has, so I might as well show them all so that I, the old Taoist, can see clearly!"
The long-faced old man raised his brows slightly and did not rush to take action. Instead, he looked at Shen Luoyan with interest.
Shen Luoyan did not answer, stared at the person in front of him, and asked coldly: "Friend Huang, you and I have been friends for many years, what do you...what do you want?"
The long-faced old man shook his head and said: "No, the old Taoist just wants to invite Fellow Daoist Shen to join the Demon Shadow Palace. But Fellow Daoist Shen's repeated refusals really make the old Taoist lose his face!"
"I'm only a casual cultivator in the Golden Core stage, and I'm used to the leisurely life of idle clouds and wild cranes. I don't have much interest in the various disputes in the world of immortality. Besides, the Demon Shadow Palace is now very powerful. With my humble skills, I can join If you don’t join, what will be the impact?”
Shen Luoyan's face was filled with sadness. As he spoke, he looked around with his peripheral vision, looking for other ways to escape.
"Is it affected... With the current development momentum of the Demonic Shadow Palace, it is only a matter of time before it can completely control Muyun Province. The old Taoist is doing this for the sake of fellow Taoists."
"Or does Fellow Daoist Shen think that within the sphere of influence of the Demonic Shadow Palace, uncontrolled casual cultivators will be allowed to exist as before when the five major sects checked and balanced each other?"
The long-faced old man continued to speak, Gulu's eyes rolled with a sinister and cold light.
"Since there is no place for me to gain a foothold in Muyun Prefecture, I just need to take my people out of Muyun Prefecture. I also ask fellow Daoist Huang, for the sake of our old friendship, please don't push me hard and let me have a way out!"
Shen Luoyan continued to speak, decisively lowering his posture, and his already stooped back became even more curved.
"Leave? Humph, the old Taoist is currently working for the Demonic Shadow Palace. If I let you leave, it would be dereliction of duty!"
"Shen Luoyan, I will ask you one last question, do you want to join the Demon Shadow Palace or not!!!"
The long-faced old man's expression darkened, his three-inch long beard and clothes fluttered in the wind, and his eyes became colder and colder.
"I'm sorry! I can only accept your kindness from Daoist Huang!"
Shen Luoyan shook his head slightly, with a heavy expression and eyes full of bitterness.
She is not stupid either. The other party's purpose in forcing her is definitely not just to get her to join the Shadow Palace, but also has other plans.
Even if you agree today, you will never escape the other party's plot.
The only way now is to rely on the final formation and make a last-ditch effort.
Just thinking about the cultivation level of the person in front of her made her heart become heavier.
A half-step Nascent Soul is still a golden elixir. Against a real Nascent Soul monk, the chance of winning is really slim!
"Okay, very good! I have given you the opportunity, but you don't know how to cherish it. Then I...I have no choice but to ask you to go on your way!"
The long-faced old man showed murderous intent in his eyes, and his true energy surged around his body, creating strong winds.
Shen Luoyan knew something was wrong, so he immediately chanted a mantra and urged the final formation arrangement under him.
However, a series of formation techniques flew out, but the surroundings did not change at all.
Shen Luoyan's pupils suddenly tightened. He was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and looked at the long-faced old man in astonishment.
"Is this what Fellow Daoist Shen is looking for? It's a pity that the formation layout you left here has been destroyed by me, the old Taoist."
The long-faced old man smiled contemptuously, waved his hand gently, and a large amount of formation materials fell from his sleeves to the ground.
Seeing the large pile of materials piled up into a small mountain, Shen Luoyan's face darkened again and again, and his face turned ashen in an instant.
At the same time, an even greater invisible aura spread from the long-faced old man's body, oppressing Shen Luoyan and his group like an overwhelming force.
"boom!"
With a muffled sound, Shen Luoyan took a few steps back. His body exploded on the spot under the huge pressure and turned into a ball of blood mist.
"What? How... is this possible?!!"
"Senior Sister Luoyan is still a half-step Nascent Soul. She is only suppressed by the aura of the Nascent Soul monks. The others are not dead yet. How could something happen to her...?"
Su Twelve, who was dozens of miles away in the sky and saw this scene, couldn't help but be shocked.
This scene happened unexpectedly and suddenly, giving him no chance to save him.
But for just a moment, Su Twelve's expression condensed, and his thoughtful peripheral vision glanced farther into the sky.
The reason why he did not help immediately was because he was vaguely aware that on the peak a hundred miles away, another monk who was also in the Nascent Soul stage was secretly watching.
In terms of concentrating his energy and concealing his whereabouts, Su Twelve had his own skills, and his whereabouts were never exposed from the beginning.
But when the origin and position of the other party were unclear, he chose to wait and see what happened.
But I never thought that such a change would happen in a single thought.
Su Twelve was feeling heavy-hearted, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed the invisible air currents surging in the heaven and earth.
