The movement in the capital spread throughout the Song Dynasty's fairy world in two or three days.
Many melon-eating immortals have not yet fully digested the news that Master Yulong failed to suppress the three low-level monks of the Taiyuan Sect and instead were beaten to death.
Liang Feng, an elite member of the inner sect of Yuqing Palace and the great disciple of Yulong Zhenren, was chasing three people from the Taiyuan Sect, but was unexpectedly shot through the Dantian and then chopped into two pieces.
The person who killed Liang Feng was not Taiyuanmen, but probably Guo Ming, a fourth-generation elite disciple of Longmen Dojo and in the late Kaiyuan realm.
But Guo Ming was also killed near Liang Feng.
The traces left at the scene of the battle were horrific. A mountaintop was destroyed, and trees and rocks within hundreds of feet were turned into powder.
In addition, there are traces of real people from the Danyuan Realm at the scene. However, according to the expert who inspected the traces, it was the use of a third-level True Fire Talisman to cause the damage, and it was not the involvement of a strong person from the Danyuan Realm.
fought.
However, it was discovered that although two corpses and a large amount of damage were left behind, all the magic weapons and storage bags of the two people were missing.
However, the three young Kaiyuan Realm cultivators from the Taiyuan Sect who were at the core of the incident suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Since then, the situation has become even more confusing.
After three days of fighting, a colorful sparrow suddenly came from the northwest and hung on the mountain.
The traces of the battle below are still clear.
A gray-haired monk who was about fifty years old was sitting on the back of the spirit bird. His powerful spiritual consciousness swept across a hundred miles like a strong wind. As long as it was within the scope of his spiritual consciousness, not even the breath of a mouse could escape tracking. But unfortunately
, a full incense time passed, and nothing was found. In the end, I could only sigh and withdraw my consciousness and said:
"Three days have passed, and many monks have come to investigate. The atmosphere is completely chaotic. I can't learn the truth of that day, let alone track the whereabouts of the three people from the Taiyuan Sect."
Behind the old man, stood a beautiful woman wearing a long black dress and carrying a sword case. She said with a cold face: "Elder brother must have been killed by the Taiyuan Sect. Please let the fifth elder make the decision."
The old man twisted his beard and pondered: "This matter is complicated and confusing, and I can't make a decision. However, Dan Chenzi of the Taiyuan Sect has a hot temper. Unless he is easy to get along with, before we understand the cause and effect, it will be a lot of trouble for him to ask for help."
."
The woman said anxiously: "That day in the palace, the disciple saw with his own eyes that the master was severely injured by three people."
The old man sighed and said: "Your master's injury has been carefully examined by several of our elders. It is true that the soul has been severely injured, but it does not necessarily have to do with Taiyuan Sect. In order to prevent the spirit bird from being restless, your master created a third-level magic weapon array.
The disk was destroyed, causing the soul to be injured, and then according to you, your master used his spiritual consciousness to forcefully suppress the three minor cultivators of the Taiyuan Sect, and suddenly they fell into a coma. Not to mention your master, but you, the three Kaiyuanmen
Can a monk in this realm be able to severely damage your soul?"
The woman was immediately speechless.
"So, let's put this matter aside for the time being. After we go back, we old guys will discuss it and we will definitely send a letter to Taiyuan Sect and ask for an explanation, but there may not be any result, because judging from the scars, your senior brother
He died under Longmen Mountain's Feiyun Gun, not under Taiyuan Sect's magical weapon. This matter has been spread in the fairy world. We cannot use force to overwhelm others without any reason, and Taiyuan Sect's magical weapon.
Provoke a war between the Yuanmen."
The woman burst into tears and said: "Elder brother died in an unknown way, and the master is unconscious. Please ask the fifth elder to find a way to save the master."
The old man frowned and said: "Your master's soul has been severely injured. We have exhausted all the magic elixirs. We can only save his life now. It is extremely difficult to cure him, unless..."
The woman said anxiously: "Unless it's a treasure, please ask the fifth elder to show me. Even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, my disciple is willing to get it."
The old man shook his head slightly and said, "Unless it's the Resurrection Fruit."
The woman cried and said: "Resurrection fruit is rare in a hundred years, and there is nothing I can do about it."
The old man twisted his beard and muttered: "It's not impossible. I heard that Taiyuan Sect's Resurrection Tree has blossomed. If nothing happens, it will mature in three years. It's just because your master has a conflict with Taiyuan Sect again.
, and it has reached this point, I am afraid that even if Taiyuan Sect has it, Dan Chenzi will not give it to him. Alas, that’s all, I will search around again. There is the aura left by the True Fire Talisman here. If I guessed correctly, it should be
It's the one left in the Treasure Pavilion, but I don't know how it was used here."
After the old man finished speaking, his spiritual consciousness was activated, and the colorful sparrow gave a clear cry, spread its wings and turned into a stream of light and flew away into the distance.
Not long after the two left, another spiritual crane came out of the sky. On the back of the spiritual crane sat a white-haired old Taoist wearing linen clothes and an immortal spirit. After letting go of his rolling spiritual consciousness and searching around,
He quickly frowned and left, heading straight to the southwest.
Although the capital of the Song Dynasty was prosperous, the mountains and fields were vast and sparsely populated.
Xu Chen and the others have escaped two hundred miles away from the battle scene. According to the radius of two hundred miles, if you want to find them, you need to search an area of more than ten thousand miles. Even if the monks of the Transformation Realm come, they will use up a lot of brain cells, and even more
What's more, it's just the Danyuan realm, and the largest spiritual consciousness is hundreds of miles in radius.
Moreover, Xu Chen escaped to the southeast that night, instead of continuing to the southwest. Therefore, whether it was the people from Yuqing Palace, the people from Longmen Mountain, or other immortal sects and casual cultivators, most of them focused on the southwest.
, so Xu Chen and the others hid two hundred miles away and concentrated on practicing and recovering, but they were not affected at all.
Of course, during this period, a few rays of spiritual consciousness may have swept through the cave where they were hiding, but because the three of them had already restrained their auras and there was no trace of any fluctuations in their souls, naturally no one noticed.
Seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye.
The three of them had sufficient elixirs and many rare elixirs. Therefore, Xu Chen and Ninth Brother had recovered more than half of their health and were almost as normal as usual. Zhao Xuan had also regained consciousness. Apart from the difficulty in moving, she had no other symptoms.
No big deal.
However, the three of them are only in the Kaiyuan realm. This series of battles has caused damage to the meridians, Dantian, and even the soul. If they cannot be taken care of properly, it may have an impact on future cultivation. Especially Zhao Xuan, whose body was severely injured and her meridians were damaged a lot.
Even if it is well maintained, I'm afraid it won't be able to go very far in the future, and whether it can even build a foundation is a huge question.
Therefore, although Xu Chen and Ninth Senior Brother were recovering well, they were not in high spirits.
Zhao Xuan didn't care, and kept comforting the two of them: "The cultivator asked, I am going against the will of heaven, how can everything be smooth sailing? I was just an orphan back then. I was lucky to survive, and I never thought that I could become an immortal one day.
, even if I can't build the foundation, I'm satisfied, but Ninth Senior Brother and Junior Brother, you must have a good rest after you go back, and don't fight with others out of anger. Try to succeed in building the foundation, and maybe you can even form elixirs and transform into spirits."
Brother Ninth smiled bitterly and sighed: "Well, it's fate. It's useless to think about this matter. Now the fairy world is probably going to explode. We'd better find a way to get back to the mountain quickly. The sooner the better!"
So the three of them simply tidied up and then left the hidden cave. They continued to fly southeast for hundreds of miles with their swords close to the wilderness mountains, and then changed to the direction of Taiyuan Gate.
A few days later, the three of them entered Nanyang County. However, they did not go to Nanyang City, which was closest to the mountain gate. Instead, they went directly through Heifeng Ridge, and after making a big circle in the vast mountains, they finally returned to the mountain gate after being away for more than a month.
.
When they saw the unique Chaoyang Peak and the familiar mountain gate, the three of them couldn't help but relax at the same time, feeling a sense of excitement and joy of surviving a catastrophe.
At this time, Taiyuan Sect was already in chaos.
All the disciples who had gone down the mountain had heard the news and hurried back to the mountain gate. Even the great elder Dan Chenzi, who was out looking for refining the Ziyun Transformation Pill, and the second elder who had been wandering around all year round, hurried back after traveling thousands of miles.
At the highest point of Chaoyang Peak, there is an ancient palace. There is a plaque hanging on the lintel, which reads "Tai Yuan" in two ancient Chinese characters. However, the writing is mottled and it looks a bit bleak after being weathered by wind and rain.
In the main hall, three elders were sitting on the throne, and a group of male and female disciples were sitting on futons on both sides. The atmosphere was very serious.
Dan Chenzi held a jade slip in his hand, his face full of anger.
The second elder and the third elder looked like they were in meditation with their eyelids lowered, but in reality their auras were restless.
A group of disciples were even more emotional, including anger, confusion, fear and uneasiness.
"The people from Longmen Mountain have just left, and the Yuqing Palace has sent a letter to accuse them, but we don't know the truth of the matter. The whereabouts of the three of them are unknown at the moment, and their life and death are uncertain. I dare not make any judgments, but the matter has been solved.
There must be a result in the end, but the most urgent thing right now is to get the person back first, and see him alive and his body after death, so that we can negotiate with Yuqing Palace and avoid provoking a war among the immortal sects."
Although Dan Chenzi was angry, he knew that this matter was not trivial.
Originally, after seeing the flowering of the Resurrection Tree, he felt that this was the opportunity given by God to transform into a spirit. Therefore, he was very surprised and went straight to the Yuqing Palace to find his former friend Baiyun Zhenjun to obtain the refining spirit pill and obtained Baiyun Zhenjun.
After making his promise, he prepared to spend three years traveling across China in search of the remaining elixirs.
He rushed back after receiving the flying sword message from the third elder, and he was only half a day ahead of Xu Chen and the others.
Moreover, when I returned to the mountain, I received two pieces of bad news one after another, both of which were like bolts from the blue.
First, the resurrecting tree died.
Second, Xu Chen and three others severely injured the real Yulong of Yuqing Palace.
But now all kinds of news are flying all over the sky. There is no news about the three disciples under the sect. People from Yuqing Palace and Longmen Mountain have also come to inquire one after another. Their tone is aggressive, naturally they want an explanation.
The second elder was tall and thin, with gray beard and hair. He looked half a century old, but he was actually over a hundred years old. His aura at the peak of the True Yuan Realm could not be concealed. He lowered his eyebrows and said in a deep voice in silence for a long time:
"This matter is complicated. My disciple Xu Chen is only fifteen years old, and his cultivation is only at the early stage of Kaiyuan. The two nephews, Lu Yuan and Zhao Xuan, are only in the middle and late stages of Kaiyuan. Even if the three of them join forces, how can they defeat the real Yulong of Danyuan?"
We were beaten until we were unconscious. The people from Yuqing Palace want to use this to suppress us, so we are not afraid of the ridicule of our colleagues in the world."
The third elder, who was described as haggard and old, also nodded and said: "Senior brother, what you said makes sense. Moreover, it is said that Liang Feng, a disciple of Master Yulong, and Guo Ming, a disciple of Longmen Mountain, did not die at the hands of our sect, so why should we explain to them!
"
Dan Chenzi's face twitched slightly, and he sighed: "The world of immortality was never a place of reason."
The two elders were silent together, and the disciples were even more dejected.
When I first started practicing in the mountains, I always felt that cultivating immortals meant living in seclusion in the mountains and living in isolation from the world, being pure of heart and having few desires, taking elixirs and practicing Qi, so that one day I could become an immortal, attain the Tao, live a happy life, and live forever.
However, after going down the mountain and experiencing it several times, I realized that practicing Taoism is even more cruel. You have to work hard to find elixirs and magic weapons by yourself, and advancement also depends on great opportunities. You can live forever without just meditating.
To put it bluntly, immortality means competing with heaven for life, collecting rare treasures from the world, and seizing the power of creation from heaven and earth to strengthen oneself.
And once you embark on this road, unless you really understand life and death, you will go through dangerous mountains and rivers for a spiritual medicine or a rare treasure, and you will have to face numerous threats from monsters, poisonous snakes and other monks.
Therefore, the road to becoming an immortal may seem easy to ordinary people, but only oneself knows how hard it is.
Now that the Resurrection Tree is dead, Dan Chenzi knows that there may be no hope of turning into a spirit in this life, and he is a little discouraged. However, as the elder with the highest level of cultivation, he cannot ignore this crisis, otherwise his disciples will face the situation of life and death. If they are not careful, they will be too careful.
Yuanmen will be beyond redemption.
If the matter is not investigated clearly, Yuqing Palace and Longmen Mountain will never give up.
But just when everyone was feeling depressed, Dan Chenzi's expression suddenly changed, he stood up, took one step forward, and turned into a stream of light and headed outside the mountain gate.
The two elders also looked surprised and flew out of the hall together.
All the disciples didn't know why, and they all got up and ran out of the hall, wielding their swords or flying into the air to look in the direction where the three elders were going.
