Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 681: Obscuring the Secret
In the evening, the Khitan army set out to cook.

Shortly after nightfall, the Khitan army split into two groups and quietly left Yingzhou City.

Both groups were light cavalry, led by the Southern Court King Di Nian and General Gao Mohan respectively.

Among them, Guan Yu, Lu Dongbin and others followed General Gao Mohan's team.

Li Jing, Tieguai Li and others followed the group of people led by the King Di Nian of the Southern Courtyard.

Chen Yun did not leave Yingzhou City. He needed to stay and take charge to prevent any gods from the Jin army from launching a sneak attack.

In addition, he had more important things to do, which was to use magic to conceal the secrets of heaven and prevent the opposite side's divine spying, thereby exposing the whereabouts of the two teams of King Nanyuan and General Gao.

Yingzhou City, the governor's residence.

An altar was set up in the back garden.

Chen Yun stood in the middle of the altar, waving the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his hand.

Around the altar there are many of his disciples and divine soldiers and generals guarding the Dharma.

This was done to prevent the opponent's divine being from noticing the clues and casting a spell through the air.

In addition to his disciples and generals, the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang and a group of advisers were also present.

At this time, the back garden was silent and no one dared to disturb Chen Yun from casting the spell.

Chen Yun took the Seven Star Steps, made hand gestures, and muttered something.

As he cast the spell, the night in the whole world seemed to become darker.

And from time to time there were bursts of "boom, boom" rumbling sounds of thunder in the sky.

The wind between heaven and earth gradually grew stronger, from a gentle breeze at the beginning to a roaring gale.

If someone looked carefully, they would definitely find that when Chen Yun was taking the Seven Star Steps and dancing with the Seven Treasures Magic Tree, the air around him seemed to be distorted.

Mortals would definitely not be able to see the clues.

People like Niu Dali, Jiao Daoren and Ba Daoren can see clearly.

They saw that Chen Yun had mobilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of dozens of miles, and was constantly setting up one formation after another to integrate into nature.

This process lasted for a long time, about half an hour.

Finally, Chen Yun gradually stopped his actions, and finally pointed the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree towards the south, and shouted softly: "Fast!"

All of a sudden, the spiritual energy of the entire heaven and earth seemed to overlap, and all the secrets of heaven were obscured.

After doing all this, Chen Yun let out a long sigh, then put away the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and slowly walked down the altar.

Yelu Deguang quickly stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Excuse me, sir, what's the situation?"

Chen Yun waved his hand and said, "Prince Nanyuan and General Gao have not yet sneaked across the river, Your Majesty, please don't worry."

Yelu Deguang was confused and asked, "Then why did you do that, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Yun came to the chair below, sat down and responded: "There are many sacred beings in the Jin army. If there is no cover-up, the King of the South Court and General Gao will definitely be investigated for leading the troops out of the city with such a large momentum. Therefore, I used the great law to cover up the secrets of heaven, so that the sacred beings in the Jin army cannot sense the whereabouts of the King of the South Court and General Gao."

While he was speaking, his disciple Lin Lingsu came forward obediently to pour tea.

Chen Yun nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Yelu Deguang suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. After listening to what Mr. Chen said, I finally know why we suffered two defeats in a row. It turns out that every move of our Khitan army was noticed by others. No wonder we were defeated so miserably before."

Zhao Yanshou and a group of advisers on the side all nodded.

Before this, they were a little puzzled as to why they always encountered bad weather or their marching routes were always controlled by the enemy.

After hearing Chen Yun's explanation today, everyone suddenly realized that everything that happened before was the work of the sacred people in the Jin army.

Precisely because they knew the specific reasons, Yelu Deguang, Zhao Yanshou and others felt more and more how wise it was to invite Chen Yun back.

If Chen Yun is still not in their army this time, the situation will probably not be much better than the previous two southern expeditions, and may even be worse.

……

On the other side, the Later Jin army.

During the day, Kuimu Lang and Pleiades were defeated by Chen Yun.

This resulted in the Zhongdu Bridge being blocked, preventing the Jin army from moving forward even a single step.

They could only follow Du Chongwei back to Wuqiang to discuss how to cross the river and attack him.

This is a matter for mortals, and the twenty-eight constellations will not get involved.

Despite this, the twenty-eight constellations have never stopped.

They have been keeping an eye on Yingzhou City, trying to find out the whereabouts of the Khitan army and prevent sneak attacks.

Jiaomu Jiao stared at Yingzhou City for a long time but still found no clues.

But he inexplicably felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, Kuimulang asked, "Mr. Deng, have you noticed any unusual movements in Yingzhou City?"

Jiaomu Jiao's real name is Deng Yu, and his courtesy name is Jundi.

So Kuimulang called the other party Deng Xingjun.

The other twenty-six stars all looked towards Jiaomu Jiao.

"I didn't notice any unusual movement." Jiao Mujiao frowned and said, "But I always feel like something is wrong."

Kang Jinlong smiled and said, "What could be wrong? You said that Chen Pu, King Chicheng, Nezha and others made unusual movements, but we couldn't find them. That's normal, but these Khitan soldiers are all mortals. If they want to leave the city, their momentum will definitely be huge. Can we detect it?"

Jiao Mujiao smiled and said, "That's right, maybe I'm too suspicious."

"Don't be suspicious, Lord Deng." Ji Shuibao said, "Unless the other side is hiding the secrets, we will know everything about any action of the Khitan army."

"Um……"

Jiaomujiao nodded instinctively and wanted to continue what Jishuibao said.

As a result, he just nodded, and suddenly he was startled, and then his brows were furrowed more and more tightly. He said: "What do you think will happen next if Chen Pu and others really use Dafa to cover up the secrets of heaven?"

Fang Ritu's face changed, "If that's the case, I'm afraid the Khitan army has already set out from Yingzhou City, and then quietly crossed the river to attack the city!"

Bi Shuiyu reacted, "No, the Khitan army cut off the Zhongdu Bridge and took the lead. They are not afraid of the Jin army's direct advance. Logically, they should have no worries. They should have planned a southern expedition, such as sending out spies to gather information. But we didn't even see any spies. This is obviously not in line with common sense. So, I think there are only two possibilities."

Winged Fire Snake asked: "What are the two possibilities?"

Everyone's ears pricked up.

Bi Shui said: "The first possibility is that the Khitan army deliberately sent all the spies back, giving people the illusion that they don't have to worry about attacks if they cut off the Zhongdu Bridge. In fact, they are trying to lure the Jin army to attack and then capture them all in one fell swoop."

This is unlikely.

After all, the Zhongdu Bridge was blocked, making it difficult for the Jin army to cross the river.

At least it is basically impossible to cross the river in a short period of time.

Gui Jinyang asked, "What about the second possibility?" Bi Shuiyu's face became serious. "The second possibility is that Chen Pu and others have concealed the secret. What we see now is all imaginary. In fact, the Khitan army has quietly left Yingzhou City and is heading towards Wuqiang. We will be caught off guard!"

"Hmm?" Jiao Mujiao's face changed drastically. "This possibility is the most likely, but we don't know where the Khitan army is hiding now, so how can we defend ourselves?"

Zhen Shuiyin sighed and said, "If we had the two gods, Qianliyan and Shunfenger, here, we wouldn't be hidden from the secrets of heaven."

"Clairvoyance and Superb Ears are monitoring the heavens and the worlds, so they can't help us." Jiaomu Jiao directly denied Zhen Shuiyin's words, then took a deep breath and said, "We only have one way to know whether the other side is hiding the secrets of heaven."

Zhang Yuelu asked tentatively: "Deng Xingjun, what do you mean..."

Jiao Mujiao nodded gently and said, "That's right. We should build a magic altar as soon as possible to sense whether the secrets of heaven are being obscured. If the secrets of heaven are being obscured, we must break the opponent's magic as soon as possible and then find out where the Khitan army is hiding."

At this point, he slowly stood up and said, "In terms of fighting, we may not be as sacred as Chen Pu, King Chicheng and Nezha, but we are the star gods of the twenty-eight constellations. If we want to conceal the secrets of the sky or push away the clouds to see the blue sky, we have a natural advantage. No one in the Khitan army will be our opponent!"

Kuimu Lang, Pleiades Star Official and others nodded in agreement.

The twenty-eight constellations themselves are part of the "heavenly secrets", so of course they have an advantage in doing such things.

They had enough reason to believe that once the altar was established, they would be able to find out whether the secret had been concealed by someone.

If there is, they can easily break through it.

The Twenty-Eight Constellations acted quickly and built the altar immediately after the decision was made.

As the leader of the twenty-eight constellations, Jiaomujiao naturally took on the role of the person who performed the ritual.

He was seen wearing a yellow robe, holding a tablet in his right hand and a magic bell in his left hand, walking in the altar and exploring the secrets of heaven.

Jingle Bell.

The bell rang.

The tablet shone with a green light.

The next moment, a breath of green dragon rose from Jiaomujiao's body, then rushed straight into the sky from the top of its head, spreading out all at once, dyeing the entire sky green.

……

In Yingzhou City.

Chen Yun was sitting in the back garden of the governor's mansion.

While chatting casually with Yelu Deguang and others, he also distractedly checked the situation of the altar, and from time to time he sensed the troops led by the King of the Southern Courtyard, General Gao and others.

Zhang Qian, Lin Chen, Niu Dali, Mei Junyan and others continued to guard the altar.

Yelu Deguang was frantically flattering Chen Yun at this time, "Mr. Chen's magic is boundless. With your help this time, I will definitely be able to wipe out the Jin court and rule the Central Plains."

Chen Yun smiled and said, "I hope Your Majesty will succeed."

Yelu Deguang added: "If I can rule the Central Plains in the future, I will definitely respect Taoism as the state religion, and Mr. Chen, you..."

He hasn't said anything yet.

Chen Yun suddenly stood up, then stretched out his hand and the Seven Treasures Magic Tree instantly appeared in his right palm.

Yelu Deguang was startled, "Mr. Chen, what's wrong?"

Zhao Yanshou and his advisers were all puzzled.

Including the disciples and divine soldiers who were guarding the altar, they were almost the same and did not understand what was happening.

Chen Yun instantly flew onto the altar, stepped on the Seven Star Steps, and waved the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree while speaking rapidly: "Someone is trying to break my magic, I must fight him."

After he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and a ball of immortal energy gushed out of his mouth, covering the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.

Immediately, Chen Yun's Seven Treasures Magic Tree shook, and the ball of immortal energy immediately flew towards two different directions: the sky and the earth.

After a part of the immortal energy flew into the sky, it immediately expanded and diffused, merging into the high-altitude clouds, causing the dark clouds to shine with a faint golden glow.

The other part of the immortal energy merged into the earth and spread rapidly. Golden lines were visible to the naked eye, covering an area of ​​dozens of miles and forming an extremely huge Tai Chi Bagua pattern.

Yelu Deguang and Zhao Yanshou looked at each other, really not knowing who Chen Yun was fighting against.

Not to mention mortals like them, even Niu Dali, Jiao Daoren and Ba Daoren, who were already immortals from Chen Yun's sect, had no idea what had happened.

But they soon understood.

When the two streams of immortal energy enveloped an area of ​​dozens of miles, a green light suddenly flashed between the clouds in the southern sky.

The green light was not clear at first, but when the golden light merged into the clouds, the green light suddenly turned into a green dragon, roaring and striking towards the north.

Chen Yun on the altar had a serious expression on his face and kept waving the Seven Treasures Magic Tree.

The golden light in the dark clouds in the sky became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a golden-armored god who pounced towards the attacking blue dragon.

Both of them were so fast that they collided with each other in an instant.

However, what is surprising is that the collision between the Azure Dragon and the golden-armored deity did not produce the slightest noise; it was just a flash and it was as if neither of them had appeared at all.

In fact, only Chen Yun knew that neither the Azure Dragon nor the golden-armored god existed in reality. Instead, he was using his great power to fight against the trajectory of human movement on the Great Dao.

This invisible fighting method may seem peaceful, but it is actually extremely dangerous and even more ferocious than face-to-face combat.

When Chen Yun fought face to face with others, the most he would suffer would be injuries to his physical body or his yang spirit. However, with his powerful recovery ability, he could recover almost instantly.

This kind of fighting method is different. The opponent can use the power from the trajectory of the avenue to directly penetrate his origin.

If he cannot defeat the opponent, his origin will most likely be damaged, and it will take a long time to recover.

Knowing the danger, Chen Yun did not dare to be negligent at all. He mobilized almost all the immortal energy in his body and continued to compete with the opponent.

The two great laws are constantly entangled with each other in the trajectory of the Great Dao.

Everyone wants to gain the upper hand so that they can sense the secrets of heaven.

Although Chen Yun had reached the middle stage of the Immortal Realm, when he was fighting with his opponent, he clearly realized that his magic power was inferior to that of the opponent.

No, not just inferior, but the magic power is far inferior to the opponent.

When he faced the other party, he felt like he was trapped in a vast ocean.

It was as if the other party could create a huge wave at any time and destroy his magic power.

Chen Yun could clearly feel that the magic power used by the other party seemed to contain the power of the Azure Dragon.

If I'm not mistaken, the person opposite might be Jiaomu Jiao.

"No, if this continues, he will definitely break my spell."

Chen Yun frowned slightly, knowing that he couldn't continue fighting like this.

I have to find a way myself.

You cannot allow the other party's overwhelming magic power to devour your own magic power.

He thought quickly, trying to find a way out of the situation.
