My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 657 Green Caterpillar

The moon is bright in the sky and the night is quiet.

Step, step, step...

The sound of light and orderly footsteps rang out in Peach Blossom Valley.

One by one, figures walked out of their rooms and headed towards the peach forest where the entrance to the valley was.

At the foot of the southern mountain of Taohua Valley, in a square stone house.

A cloud of black smoke appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the house, and quickly spun and expanded, turning into a door as tall as a person.

Chen Mu walked out expressionlessly, strode to the door, and pulled open the heavy wooden door.

A ray of moonlight shone through the light mist onto the earth, and at the same time reflected into Chen Mu's eyes.

At this moment, Chen Mu's dilated pupils suddenly shrank.

puff!

A soft sound emerged deep in my mind.

A colorless flame suddenly rose between Chen Mu’s eyebrows.

squeak!

Accompanied by a short and shrill cicada cry, the emerald green lines on the forehead seemed to be ignited, and in the blink of an eye turned into black and red ashes and dissipated.

Chen Mu shuddered and came back to his senses.

He looked at the door handle he was holding, and his back was instantly covered with fine beads of cold sweat.

Almost!

Just a little bit closer!

If it weren't for the Seven Emotional Flames...

Chen Mu's heart was beating wildly. He took a few deep breaths, but it didn't calm down at all.

After a while, he calmed down a little and looked outside the stone house.

At this moment, figures in twos and threes were walking along the path on the hillside, unconsciously towards the edge of the peach blossom forest.

Under the moonlight, several familiar faces were vaguely visible. Although they had never spoken to each other, they had run into each other at the performance venue on weekdays.

But at this moment...

"Didn't Elder Yan of Qianji Sect claim that he had solved the evil spell of sleepwalking?"

"Just a lie to appease people?!"

"grass!"

Chen Mu's face was gloomy.

……

The next day, the performance ground at the foot of the hill was empty.

All the Taoist soldiers who were supposed to gather here to practice the Demon-Sealing Spell were hiding in their own residences and not showing up.

If someone approaches the house, they will even be shouted at and driven away.

A feeling of panic spread throughout Peach Blossom Valley.

"Can the Qianji Sect really easily quell this demon chaos?"

Inside the stone house, Chen Mu stood by the window, looking at the silent Peach Blossom Valley, his heart wavering.

Qianji Sect is a powerful sect spanning several states.

History can be traced back thousands of years.

For many years, he has been fighting on the front line against the demons from outer space...

He had heard many similar rumors about the Thousand Machines Sect, all of which demonstrated the Sect's strength.

This made everyone think that this demon chaos would not be difficult for Qianji Sect.

Even though the sect was destroyed and more than half of the people in the Baihuan Sect were killed or injured, they still had full confidence in the Qianji Sect.

But now.

They haven't even encountered the demon yet, but an evil secret technique has already caused everyone to panic.

"Or... run?" This thought suddenly arose in Chen Mu's mind.

"But where can I run to?" He sighed with a wry smile.

This time the demonic chaos was not limited to the Misty Forest Qingqiu Mountain, but was a chaos that swept across the entire Haizhou.

Even if he stayed away from the Misty Forest, he would probably run into other chaotic areas.

"Here, the Seven Emotions Flame of Delusion can still protect me temporarily."

"If I go to other places and get affected by more evil secret arts, then the result will be..."

Chen Mu looked grim.

……

In the central part of Haizhou, there is the Diyin Sect.

There are patches of charred empty space randomly scattered among the mountains, like patches.

All the broken walls and ruins on Fuyang Mountain have been cleared away.

A section of the top of the mountain was cut off, and in the middle stood a rather tall and wide stone palace.

On the central wall of the hall hangs a painting of an immortal riding a crane.

There is an altar in front of the painting, with an incense burner on the table. Three incense sticks are emitting wisps of green smoke.

"Brother Lu, the insect poison of Senior Sister Meng Qingchan is now wreaking havoc in Haizhou. Please give me the Plague Immortal Flag to drive it away as soon as possible." Lan Xiuzhu bowed and clasped his fists to Lord Lu in front of the altar.

"Sister?"

"Humph!"

"That's the Thousand Machines Sect's traitor, the Green Bug Demon!" Lord Lu snorted coldly. "He has been suppressed underground for three hundred years and has no intention of repenting. Now he dares to invite demons to cause chaos?"

"You don't know what life and death is!" Lord Lu's face was grim.

"She used to be able to wreak havoc with the Green Worm Gu, but now... humph!"

"It's just a mere insect poison, let her put it away." There was a cold light flashing in Lord Lu's eyes.

"The more you put in, the faster she'll die."

"I am not as soft-hearted as the previous sect master. This time, I will make her die!"

"But if this happens, the people of Haizhou will probably suffer a great disaster. Why don't we..." Lan Xiuzhu looked reluctant and quickly tried to persuade them.

"You've been outside the Thirty-two Heavens for so long, and you don't understand the principle that a kind person cannot be in charge of an army?" Lord Lu interrupted Lan Xiuzhu with a squint.

"If we had killed the caterpillar earlier, how could we have encountered such a disaster?"

"I will kill the demon from outer space, and I will also take the life of Qingchong."

“No matter how high the cost, we must eradicate the weeds.”

"I don't want such incidents to happen again a hundred years later." Lord Lu looked cold.

Meng Xiuzhu opened his mouth, but in the end could only sigh helplessly.

"Don't worry, I won't just watch Haizhou fall completely." Lord Lu's expression relaxed slightly.

"Once you have completed the arrangements for the Chengtian Forbidden Law, I will immediately use the Plague Immortal Flag to exterminate the green worms."

"If you want to reduce casualties, then quickly return to your defense area and follow the plan." Lord Lu looked solemn.

"I will follow your orders, brother." Lan Xiuzhu took a deep breath and bowed with his fists clasped.

……

Peach Blossom Valley outside the misty forest.

As time went on, the situation got worse.

Every night, someone would leave the room like a sleepwalker and walk out of Peach Blossom Valley.

Although they were all intercepted, it still couldn't stop the panic from spreading.

The elder of Qianji Sect did not do nothing.

From time to time, Elder Yan would appear in the valley with his Taoist soldiers, sometimes busy setting up magic prohibitions, and sometimes chanting spells to cure diseases and ward off disasters.

But these methods are unable to stop the spread of the evil somnambulism.

Late that night, Chen Mu stood by the window looking out as usual.

The moon was at its zenith, and figures opened the doors of their houses and walked into the moonlight.

Step, step, step...

The sound of footsteps was heard not far outside Chen Mushi's house.

When Chen Mu saw the figure with small eyes and round face, he felt complicated and indescribable.

The man was Yang Fu, whom he hadn't seen for several days.

After entering Baihuan Sect for a year, the people he had the most contact with were Yang Fuluhan and Lu Han. Unexpectedly...

Chen Mu reached out his hand, pinched the stone window sill with his thumb and index finger, pulled off a large piece of longan stone fragment, and flicked it with his fingers.

boom.

There was a slight sound, and Yang Fu's body swayed slightly. He seemed to wake up from a dream and slowly came back to his senses.

He looked down blankly at the stone that had rolled to his feet, then looked up at Chen Mu standing by the window of the stone house, and finally glanced at the surrounding houses, looking at the pairs of frightened eyes hiding in the rooms.

A hint of bitterness slowly crept up his face.

"Hey, it's all fate..." Yang Fu sighed with a wry smile.

"Thank you, Junior Brother." He clasped his fists towards Chen Mu, then took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the peach forest.

There, several patrolmen wrapped tightly in black were standing guard.

More than a dozen awakened people infected by evil arts also gathered there.

Chen Mu felt increasingly heavy-hearted as he watched Yang Fu leave.

It's not that he hadn't thought about using the Seven Emotions Flame of Delusion to save people, he even caught a colorful pheasant infected by evil magic for experimentation.

The source of the evil magic can indeed be burned by the colorless flames, but the pheasant spirit will also be burned and dissipated.

The Seven Emotions Flame can save itself because the flames come from within itself and can distinguish between friend and foe.

However, if it is used on others, the source of the evil spell and the other person's spirit will be attacked at the same time, and no one will be immune.

"If the Heavenly Demon Body transforms again, I will understand the Seven Emotions Flame better and may be able to remove the evil spell without harming other people's spirits."

"but now……"

"Ugh……"

Fortunately, all those who were attacked by Yang Fu were intercepted and isolated in the depths of Peach Blossom Valley in time.

Once Qianji Sect understands the essence of the evil magic, there may be a great chance of recovery.

"I just hope that Qianji Sect can come up with a solution soon."

Chen Mu sighed softly.
