After receiving the letter from Shi Tai, Chu Feng was a little surprised after reading the contents. It was actually written by Lu Dongbin, specifically addressed to Cuixuan Taoist Shi Tai.
However, the content of the letter was mainly to convey the news to Shi Tai that he was still alive, and not much else was mentioned. Other than that, he mentioned himself casually.
Chu Feng had a guess in his mind that Lu Dongbin was worried that it would be inconvenient for him to do it alone, so he stood up to endorse and support him. After all, although he practiced the Taoist sect's authentic Xuan Gong, he learned it from a mysterious teacher, which would inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.
Suspect.
"No wonder Fellow Daoist Chu was able to possess such great strength in such a short period of time. It turned out to be the inheritance of Master Huolong. It is really enviable."
"In the past, Mr. Chu also had something unspeakable. I hope Brother Dao won't blame him."
Chu Feng laughed dryly. Lu Dongbin only mentioned that he was his junior brother and didn't say much. The so-called Huolong Zhenren was just Shi Tai's own imagination. After all, he had used the sword control technique in Li Mansion in the past.
A battle with Zhen Wu Lao Monk was discussed everywhere in Bianjing City.
Lu Dongbin once learned the sword cultivation method from Huolong Zhenren, and also learned the alchemy method from Zhong Liquan. However, these were only guides and enlighteners, not his master.
Of course, he didn't explain much, so it was okay to let him misunderstand like this.
"Since Fellow Daoist Chu is Lu Zu's junior brother, in terms of seniority, he is our seniors. If I was rude in the past, I hope Senior Chu can forgive me."
Having said that, Shi Tai had already stood up and bowed his head, looking extremely respectful.
"Brother Tao, no." Chu Feng waved his arm lightly, and a soft force appeared out of thin air, instantly stopping the opponent.
"You and I get to know each other based on fate. We should talk to each other on our own terms. There is no need to be so polite. Otherwise, it will appear to be alienating."
"this……"
Feeling the invisible power all around him, Shi Tai's heart suddenly shivered. This power seemed gentle, but he could clearly feel it and couldn't resist it. This further proved the strength of the other party.
"Fellow Daoist Chu is very open-minded, but I think too much." After a pause, he continued,
"I came here today, firstly, for the letter, and secondly, about the Sun Eclipse Formation."
"Oh, but are you ready to start construction?"
"Not bad." Shi Tai nodded and continued?
"A few days ago, Pindao and Brother Liu Dao went to Gen's position in the imperial city to observe in person, and finally set a time? We will start cutting down the dense forest at noon tomorrow. By then, the original formation on the outer layer will be broken? Some resentful souls will have
He revealed the possibility of escape, so I want to invite fellow Taoists to come and help."
"Okay." Chu Feng agreed without the slightest hesitation. After a pause, he seemed to ask casually?
"Besides me and the other three? Are there other fellow Taoists coming?"
"Not yet." Shi Tai didn't know his true intention, so he explained,
"Right now, we are just cutting down the dense forest and doing some cleanup work. When the formation is actually activated, will Senior Tianlongzi personally preside over it? Other fellow Taoists will also come to help."
"That's it." Chu Feng's eyes flickered, and then he smiled.
"I always hear you and Daoist Brother Liu mentioning this Taoist Brother Tianlongzi? Mr. Chu is really curious and hopes to see it then."
"Senior Tian Longzi is open-minded by nature. He likes to make friends, and he never cares about seniority. Want to come? When Taoist friend Chu sees him, he will definitely not be disappointed."
After talking about the business, the two of them stopped being restrained and turned their attention to the Huanxin Formation ahead. At this time, Lu Ruolan and Ying'er were still trapped in it and could not escape for a long time.
"The time is almost up, how about releasing them?" Shi Tai could sense the situation in the formation and couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.
"That's fine."
Chu Feng did not refuse. He picked up the main formation flag on the table and waved it gently. Suddenly, the hazy formation area in the garden in front of him suddenly shook, and everything disappeared in an instant.
"Come out... come out."
At this time, the situation in the formation was a bit strange. Both Lu Ruolan and Tao Tong Ying'er looked disheveled, as if they had just experienced a big battle, and were extremely embarrassed.
Seeing everything in front of her disappear in an instant, Ying'er suddenly looked happy, but she still asked in disbelief.
"Everything I saw before was an illusion." Lu Ruolan breathed a long sigh of relief and explained helplessly,
"I arranged this formation myself, but at the end, I got lost in it."
"Those zombies are so scary, who can know if they are real or fake?" Ying'er turned her head and glanced at the stone pavilion, then suddenly came closer and lowered her voice and said,
"Sister Ruolan, does your master have any quirks? Why did he create such a strange illusion? Especially those blond female zombies who don't even wear clothes. They are so shameless, and they are so disgusting. I just know.
It’s fake, and I can’t stand it.”
"Don't talk nonsense, let my master hear it, and I will punish you carefully."
"As long as my master protects me, I won't be afraid."
Ying'er replied proudly, but she did not see that in the stone pavilion in the distance, Shi Laodao's face had already turned black, and he was obviously very angry.
Chu Feng was also a little embarrassed. He just simulated a fantasy of a biohazard. He didn't take into account the differences between Eastern and Western cultures, but it was a bit nondescript.
At this time, Lu Ruolan had already pulled Yinger over slowly, bowed respectfully and said:
"The disciple was lost in the illusion and let the master down."
"It's good to be able to set up the formation. As for getting lost later, it's mainly because your mental strength is too weak. You just have to practice harder in the future." She turned to look at Ying'er, who was a little unconvinced, and said meaningfully,
"Little girl, were you talking bad about me just now?"
"You...what are you going to do?" Ying'er was startled, shook off Lu Ruolan's hand, ran quickly behind her master, and shouted,
"Master, he wants to bully me."
"You really should be taught a lesson for your naughty temper." Shi Tai smiled helplessly and then said,
"My little disciple is naughty and makes fellow Taoists laugh."
"It doesn't matter." Chu Feng laughed dumbly, and instead of teasing the other party, he invited him,
"It's already noon. Brother Tao, please stay in the mansion and have dinner together."
"In this case, the poor Taoist will cause trouble."
In the afternoon, Master Shitai and his disciples said goodbye and left.
At this time, Xiao Zi suddenly asked:
"Now that the bodies of the seven nightmare poisonous spirits are known, does the master plan to take action?"
"Have you collected the origin of Ying'er's soul?"
"Already got it, plus Master Li and the two from Miao Village, there are four in total."
"There are also three people in the palace." Chu Feng added, paused, and then said,
"Well, just in case, it's time to make some preparations in advance."
…
The night was as cold as water, and it was so dark that it was hard to see.
Unlike in the past, Funing Palace was still brightly lit until midnight today.
On a bright yellow futon on the ground, Zhao Ji was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, seeming to be in trance. As for the maids and chamberlains, strict orders had been issued, and no one was allowed to enter without a summons.
Suddenly, there was a flash of purple light in the dim hall, but a figure suddenly appeared. Zhao Ji seemed to have expected it, without any fear, but slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile:
"Should we start?"
"Um."
Zhao Ji nodded and raised one of his palms. The next moment, three faint rays of light appeared one after another and floated on the palm of his hand.
"This is the origin of the Queen and the two concubines' souls. I leave them all to you. But, can you promise me one thing?"
"Why, you probably have feelings for them, right?"
"I just don't want to hurt innocent people."
"I will try my best, but I can't guarantee that everything will go wrong. After all, I still can't determine what kind of plan they have?"
"Thank you very much."
Zhao Ji seemed to have expected this, and said no more. Then he waved his arm, and the three glimmers of light suddenly flew away slowly thinking about each other.
…
The next day.
Northeast of the imperial city, outside the dense forest, there is already a bustling scene with huge crowds of people.
Chu Feng arrived slowly, and what he saw was countless strong men, each holding a cutting tool. On the outermost layer, there were countless armies standing side by side, ready to fight.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, you are finally here."
At this time, a familiar voice sounded, and it was none other than Liu Hunchang. Beside him, in addition to the familiar Shi Tai, there were also many court officials in official uniforms.
"I've seen two Taoist brothers." Chu Feng nodded, turned to look at the crowd in front, and asked,
"Are you all ready?"
"Everything is ready, just wait for noon, when the yang energy is strongest, and we will start."
"That's it." Chu Feng nodded, then looked at the crowd in front and said with some doubts,
"Why are you so mobilized? Wouldn't it be easier to just burn it down?"
"Fellow Daoist Chu doesn't know something. This forest is filled with endless evil and resentment. It's cold and damp. Let alone setting fire to the forest, ordinary flames can't even ignite it."
"I see."
Chu Feng suddenly realized that he had ignored this point. However, ordinary flames were not enough, so spiritual fire was no problem. He was thinking about whether to help. However, when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly felt something in his heart and stopped talking.
Liu Hunkang didn't know this, so he continued,
"A few days ago, Pindao and fellow Taoist Shi had gone into the forest and swept through it, eliminating all the ordinary innocent souls one by one. However, there were still a few places that they dared not approach because the evil spirit was too strong."
"It doesn't matter, leave it to Chu."
Chu Feng smiled, his body shape changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared into the dense forest.
"hiss……"
Liu Hunkang and the two were naturally not surprised, but the ordinary people and soldiers were a little surprised. This ability to flicker a few times and disappear without a trace was completely beyond everyone's understanding.
"Isn't that just the legendary shrinking of the ground into an inch?"
"I recognize that person. He is Master Feiyun. I heard he can fly directly and wield a sword..."
"I really met an expert today."
"..."
Chu Feng didn't know what was going on outside. At this time, he had already entered the dense forest.
Because I have been here countless times, I know the situation inside very clearly. The special areas mentioned by Liu Hunkang are the places where corpses are buried, and they have gradually become places where the innocent souls gather. In the past, I was worried about alerting the enemy and causing trouble.
It was an unnecessary incident, so it was deliberately left unresolved.
"Xiao Zi, how are you doing with the real Wu Yao Monk? Is there any movement?"
"He..." Xiao Zi suddenly paused and then said,
"He glanced here just now, as if he was mocking us, and then he stopped moving."
"ridicule?"
Chu Feng sneered. It seemed that the demon monk had no intention of showing up. After all, he already knew what was going on here and was waiting for a good show.
Unfortunately, with you around, things won't go as you want.
There are many places where the resentful souls gather, but for Chu Feng, it is completely effortless to deal with them. Everywhere he goes, he doesn't even take action. He just lets Xiao Zi put a fire in, let alone the resentful souls.
, everything nearby, including the pervasive death aura and resentment, was instantly burned into nothingness.
"Weaken the resentment in the forest a little, lest some people can't hold on anymore."
"Isn't it all purified?" Xiao Zi was a little confused. As long as she took action, it wouldn't take much effort at all.
"I know you are powerful, but we need to keep a low profile so as not to ruin the original plan."
Chu Feng explained, Xiao Zi immediately accepted the order, raised his hand and shot out a silver flame, which turned into thousands of light strands and flew away into the dense forest.
That thread of light was obviously the nemesis of all negative energy. In less than a moment, more than 30% of the dead energy and resentment in the dense forest were purified, and the temperature in the entire forest rose slightly.
"Stop." Chu Feng stopped the other party in time. Any more would have been too obvious. As for the remaining negative energy, it will be dealt with later, so it will have no impact.
"Let's go out."
As soon as he finished speaking, purple light flashed around him and he disappeared in an instant.
…
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Chu, you came out so quickly, but did you encounter trouble?" Seeing Chu Feng's figure flashing out, Liu Hunkang's heart suddenly shivered and he asked eagerly.
"already solved."
"What, solved?"
Liu Hunkang was startled. He had personally inspected those places. The resentment was extremely strong, and there were even more resentful souls entrenched inside. How could it be so easy to remove them?
"Brother Taoist, if you don't believe it, you might as well go and check it yourself."
"this……"
Hearing the strangeness in the other party's words, Liu Hunkang suddenly realized that he was really confused. How could he raise questions in person? He was here to help, so wouldn't it be too rude?
Moreover, this fellow Daoist Chu's strength is unfathomable, and it is possible that he can be easily dealt with.
"Brother Dao Liu, you are worrying too much. Fellow Daoist Chu is taking action. What else is going on?" Shi Tai noticed the situation here and immediately spoke to smooth things over. Liu Hunkang got off the slope and said with a smile,
"Don't be surprised, fellow Daoist Chu. The old Taoist just made a slip of the tongue for a moment and had no other intention."
"This is just a trivial matter, how could Mr. Chu take it to heart?" Chu Feng smiled slightly, turned to look at the sky, and continued,
"Now that the sun is in the middle of the day and the Yang Qi is strong, the two Taoists can start."
"That's fine."
Liu Hunkang stopped hesitating and turned around and walked towards the officials. The two sides seemed to have exchanged a few words. The next moment, the leader immediately issued an order. For a moment, the crowd in the venue began to make a noise.
