Daoying

Chapter 720 The Instrument is the New Path

"Are you telling a joke?"

Xie Huan said sarcastically.

"Whether this is a joke or not, you will know it soon, fellow Taoist."

The gray-clothed man raised his lips slightly, and a ripple suddenly appeared in his ordinary eyes.

He still stood there casually, but suddenly he felt a sense of oppression that matched the heaven and earth. Even the most ordinary grey sleeves moved without wind, and faint dark patterns appeared.

"You want to take action?"

Xie Huan was a little surprised.

"if not?"

"Aren't you afraid of the Three Emperors and the Council of Elders?"

"What can we do if we are afraid? The leader has given the highest order to bring you back."

The man in gray said helplessly

Xie Huan suddenly felt his consciousness tremble, and the Immortal Return to the Origin and Restoration Chapter started to work automatically. More than ten powerful auras appeared like bright lights in the dark night in various places on Dragon God Island - it was the residence of the Three Emperors and the headquarters of the Elders Council.

His pupils suddenly shrank: "You want to go to war with the Ten Thousand Islands Holy Alliance?"

“Too serious”

The man in gray shook his head and sighed, a faint light flashing in his sleeves: "Just ask the Elders Council not to interfere."

Xie Huan quietly clenched his hands behind his back.
Although Daoyin is a maverick, he rarely provokes first-rate forces. Now he dares to challenge more than 20 giants including the Three Emperors at the same time. This determination and strength...

There are only 33 elders in the Wandao Saint Alliance, and more than 20 of them have gathered on Dragon God Island. Even if the sea tribes come out in full force, it will take a lot of effort to wipe them out.
"I am just a casual cultivator. Is it worth mobilizing so many troops?"

Xie Huan laughed at himself, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"worth!"

The gray-clothed man's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he spoke with great emphasis.
Instantly, the spiritual energy in the secret room stagnated.
Xie Huan suddenly asked: "What is a device?"

The gray-clothed man's fingers trembled slightly in his sleeves: "Since you already know, why ask again? Yes, you are the instrument cultivated by me, Daoyin, and you are a great instrument."

He stared at Xie Huan with burning eyes: "You should be aware that the body is different from that of ordinary cultivators, especially in the subtle areas. It can reach obstacles that ordinary people cannot break through, as if walking on flat ground."

Xie Huan's heart moved slightly, thinking of his previous breakthrough, he remained calm and asked again in a cold voice: "What exactly is a weapon?"

“The vessel is the vessel of the soul”

The grey-robed man stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves moving without wind: "The road to immortality is cut off. If the cultivator wants to cross to the other side, he needs to find a new path, and the weapon is the new path."

"Did that work?"

Xie Huan sneered

“It’s done!”

The man in gray suddenly took a step forward, his eyes gleaming with brilliance.

Xie Huan frowned slightly: "But I didn't feel the other side."

"You already have the body of the other shore, but you haven't grown into it yet. This is the limit of what we can do. There is still a line between us and the other shore, but you have already broken through it."

The gray-clothed man's eyes flickered, and he tried to suppress some excitement in his voice.
"Immortal Cells"

Xie Huan immediately thought of the key
"Exactly!"

The hand in the gray-clothed man's sleeve trembled a little: "The life spiral of the immortal way has been integrated into your artifact, and the chasm on the other side... has been crossed."

Xie Huan was stunned, and said with a smile: "So, I can become an immortal directly?" "In theory... yes"

The man in gray hesitated, his throat rolling.

"so what?"

Xie Huan smiled coldly
"So the leader ordered that this device be recovered at any cost."

The gray-clothed man's originally hunched back suddenly straightened up like a sword, and his cloudy eyes suddenly became clear and sharp, like two sharp blades drawn from their sheaths.

Xie Huan's eyes suddenly focused, "This price - includes going to war with the Ten Thousand Dao Holy Alliance?"

A golden light slowly appeared on his body, and his eyes showed insight and the eyes of time, responding to the changes in the gray-clothed man's momentum.

"Yes!"

The man in gray slowly raised his head and said firmly
His eyes were like lightning, looking towards a certain place on Dragon God Island - there were several auras swirling and interweaving, as if some earth-shattering event was brewing.

"If the Holy Alliance of Ten Thousand Islands insists on fighting—"

The gray-clothed man raised his mouth in a sinister arc:
"Then let's fight!"

……

In the Jinmu Residence, the sandalwood incense is wafting and the teacup is still warm.

Jin Mu was leaning on the couch with his eyes closed, resting. Two maids in white gauze were kneeling beside the couch, kneading and serving with their slender jade fingers. Suddenly, the maids' fingertips trembled, and the peaceful atmosphere in the room suddenly stagnated, as if even the air had frozen into ice.

The void ahead was as dark as ink, and two figures appeared out of thin air, both wearing hell robes.

The robe of the left-handed man is embroidered with an endless river of blood, with millions of resentful souls floating in the sea of ​​blood. The pupils of each painful face are embellished with netherworld fire, and these eyes blink strangely when the corners of the robe flow.
The robe of the man on the right is painted with a wasteland of bones, with bones piled up to form a stairway to heaven. At the end is a throne made of monks' skulls. Chain patterns are like living things wrapped around the corners of the robe.
The moment the two of them stood still, the restrictions of the entire residence collapsed silently. The maids turned pale and could not even scream.
On the couch, Jinmu raised his eyes lazily, seeming to be awake but not quite.
When his eyes were fully opened, his laziness faded away, and his eyes were as cold as a pool in the ninth autumn, reflecting the two figures, whose robes were covered with blood and whose bones were wailing.
"Red Eyes"

The woman on the left slightly parted her red lips, and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye trembled slightly as she spoke, like a red coral floating on a sea of ​​blood.

"Imprisonment"

The man on the right had a sneer on his face, but his expression was as dead as frozen earth. The bone lines on his sleeves suddenly twisted, and it seemed as if he was about to burst through his clothes.

"Daoyin wants to go to war with the Ten Thousand Islands Holy Alliance?"

Jin Mu spoke slowly, waved his hand and asked the maid to pass the fragrant tea, and took a sip.
"We just need to take Xie Huan away"

The red-eyed girl's wide sleeves fluttered lightly, and the blood river pattern rippled. The ghosts at the corners of the robe opened their eyes at the same time.

Jin Mu heard this, his expression remained unchanged, and there was no ripple in his eyes. He just gently placed the teacup in his hand on the table, and said in a voice as faint as a wisp of smoke: "What if I don't agree?"

Gujie took half a step forward, and the blue bricks under his feet turned into powder: "Then let's fight!"

Jin Mu's pupils suddenly shrank like needles, but he suddenly smiled again: "Haha, for Xie Huan, is it worth it?"

"worth"

The red eyes and red lips parted slightly, and the teardrop mole at the corner of the eye glowed bloody under the candlelight
As soon as the two words came out, the candlelight in the room dimmed.
Jin Mu's smile froze at the corners of his lips, gradually turning into frost. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window at the dusk flowing in his eyes: "There are fifteen of you in total, and you are completely at a disadvantage. The chance of taking Xie Huan away is zero."

Her red eyes and lips curled up slightly, and a hint of sneer flashed in her eyes: "The foundation of the Ten Thousand Islands Holy Alliance is to resist the sea tribe. Would they go to war with me, Daoyin, for a mere Xie Huan? Even if Lord Jinmu is willing, will the elders be willing?"

"willing"

Kaneki replied without hesitation
Fei Tong and Gu Jie were both stunned, their faces full of disbelief.

Fei Tong's pupils shrank like needles: "Does the Elders really want to become enemies with Dao Yin for one person? Or is this just Jin Mu's selfishness? Can you afford the consequences of this?"

"Since I have the command—"

The wide sleeves of the golden wood suddenly moved without wind, and the voice became clear, echoing from the throat, sweeping across the island like ripples, "I will bear the responsibility alone! Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from the Holy Alliance and severely punished!"
