After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 1031 A Dream Within a Dream: The Grey Dog Has Really Arrived!

Once you enter the cave, no matter what kind of Taoist priest you are or what kind of deity you are, everyone will be on the same starting line.

I refuse to believe that I, young and strong, can't beat you.

At worst, we can blow up the cave and die together.

……

In that instant, Chen Yang's adrenaline surged to its limit.

Getting into a fight right after waking up is a really bad feeling. I wasn't prepared at all, and I was too passive.

Chen Yang headed straight for the cave entrance at top speed.

Once inside the cave, there is hope for survival.

However, when Chen Yang ran to the cave entrance, he found that Canggou Daoren was already standing there waiting for him.

Cang Gou stood at the cave entrance, his hands gripping a sword, his sword domain unfurled, like a hunter waiting for his prey.

Chen Yang trembled, then took out a grain urn, poured in his true essence, and a beam of light shot straight towards Cang Gou.

"Keng!"

Before the light even arrived, the sword light appeared, and with a clang, it directly slashed the light away.

Tian Bonong is right.

If Gu Weng wanted to injure someone, a sneak attack would have a higher success rate.

If Shi Xiang Sheng hadn't used the round mirror to freeze the Bashe for a moment back then, Tian Bonong might not have been able to injure the Bashe's eyes.

The Canggou Daoist was clearly on guard. The difference in their cultivation levels was enormous, and they were clashing head-on. How could he possibly be injured by Chen Yang within his sword domain?
"You cunning brat, I've finally caught you. What, have you run out of tricks? Without those schemes, do you feel like you're nothing now?"

Canggou Daoren looked at Chen Yang with a mocking expression, as if he were looking at a dying rat.

Chen Yang, standing twenty or thirty meters away, was extremely tense. He directly took out the Divine Fiend Inner Core of the White Fox Ancestor. "This is nothing. I still have a move called Heaven and Earth Coexistence. Want to try it?"

He appeared fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

It was as if he was holding a bomb in his hand.

Canggou Daoist raised an eyebrow; he could naturally sense the powerful divine energy within the inner core.

Moreover, this kid is a demolition expert; White Fox had already told him that back in Nan'e Mountain.

Of course I know what Chen Yang meant.

"Ignorant child."

Cang Gou sneered, "If you're so capable, then detonate it. Let's see if you can detonate it faster than my sword!"

"Shh!"

A sword light suddenly appeared and slashed towards Chen Yang in an instant.

At the same time, the White Tiger roared from behind and quickly approached.

This……

Chen Yang was surprised that Cang Gou was not threatened at all and acted so ruthlessly and decisively.

He originally wanted to buy some time to allow the power of the pill within his body to be released. Even if it only took half a minute, once the effects of the medicine took hold, he would have enough strength to escape, even if he couldn't win the fight.

Now, it's all for naught.

The speed of Cang Gou's sword was beyond imagination.

A sense of death suddenly descended, and for a moment, Chen Yang's mind went blank.

The flashback of memories before death did not appear; all she knew was that she was going to die.

He only had time to instinctively detonate the Divine Fiend Inner Core in his hand.

If we're going to die anyway, let's die together.

The sword flashed, and a chill ran down my neck.

"boom!"

Then came a tremendous explosion, and a huge mushroom cloud rose up at the foot of Dragon Tooth Mountain.

The ground trembled, the sky collapsed and the earth caved in, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into darkness.

……

"Master, master..."

"what!"

Under the cover of night, in the woods, Chen Yang suddenly sat up from the stone bed.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Gasping for breath, Chen Yang was covered in sweat and hurriedly reached up to touch his neck and body.

Still here, still here.

The parts are still there, it's still alive, and I'm still alive.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Mo Yuan stretched out his paw and waved it in front of Chen Yang, then patted Chen Yang's face.

Chen Yang finally caught his breath and pulled himself out of that extreme fear of death. The cold mountain wind blew, and his whole body was covered in goosebumps.

"Mo Yuan, you're not dead..."

Upon seeing Mo Yuan, Chen Yang's consciousness returned to reality.

"I?"

Mo Yuan paused for a moment, "Master, are you having a nightmare? Or is there some kind of warning?"

Warning?

Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat. He immediately jumped out of bed, packed up the stone bed and pillow without saying a word, and ran away with Mo Yuan.

……

Night had already fallen.

The light in the forest was gradually dimming. Chen Yang led Mo Yuan and ran for two miles in one breath, found a dense forest with poor lighting, and used the Moon Shadow Technique to disappear into the darkness.

Mo Yuan also used the Formless Bracelet to shield his aura, simulating it to the level of an ordinary small animal.

"A dream within a dream?"

Mo Yuan was somewhat taken aback when he heard Chen Yang's brief explanation.

Chen Yang sat behind a tree and pinched his face hard.

Only now did he dare to confirm that what had just happened was a dream.

However, the dream felt far too real.

It felt so real, like a personal experience; it was as if I had truly died once and been reborn.

In his dream, he was ambushed by Cang Gou and had almost no chance to fight back. Moreover, Cang Gou was ruthless and taciturn, and gave him no chance to retaliate.

The dream ended at the moment of the explosion. In the dream, Chen Yang must have died from that level of explosion. I just don't know what happened to Cang Gou and the white tiger.

"call!"

At this point, he was still thinking about these things. Chen Yang took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"Roar!"

Just as Mo Yuan was about to say something, a tiger's roar came from afar.

The howl shook the mountains and forests; its terrifying power could be felt even from a great distance.

Mo Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

This power, this direction.

The White Tiger Deity? Is it really here?
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Mo Yuan finally came to his senses, a wave of fear washing over him.

Could Chen Yang's dream actually be real?

The appearance of the White Tiger deity proves that the Azure Dog has definitely arrived as well.

Moreover, this direction is exactly the direction they were just in.

In other words, if they hadn't left, they would definitely have been cornered by the Cang Gou.

So, Chen Yang said that they would die in the dream...

Thinking of this, Mo Yuan shuddered and turned to look at Chen Yang. "What is this Cang Gou doing here? Could it be that he came specifically for us?"

Chen Yang's face turned ashen.

Xiao Ling died at his hands, so Cang Gou naturally had reason to hunt him down. But how could Cang Gou possibly know that he was here?
Chen Yang thought it must be a coincidence.

An unexpected encounter.

But in any case, Canggou Daoren has really arrived.

The radar probed out.

Chen Yang pushed the Moon Shadow Technique to its limit, lying in wait silently.

At this point, he was considering whether to leave immediately or stay and see if there were any opportunities.

The pressure from the Canggou Taoist in his dream was too great, too terrifying.

Even now, recalling that suffocating feeling of death still makes his hands and feet feel a little cold.

……

-

Two miles away, in the woods.

A giant white tiger opened its blood-red maw and let out a roar.

On his back sat a thin, old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest carried a long sword on his back, his expression solemn, his eyes as sinister as a hawk's.

A man and a tiger, wherever they went, the wind followed, and all the birds and beasts in the forest had long since flown away.

"The person is missing. They were just here a moment ago."

The White Tiger God spoke to the old Taoist priest telepathically.

The old Taoist's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. "This young man does have some skills, but it doesn't matter. He'll have to get out sooner or later. When that time comes, we'll just ambush him at the exit..."

Baihu said, "Danyangzi and the others are missing, and the furnace of immortal pills is also gone. This little kid should know what happened last night..."

Canggou Daoren pondered for a moment, "Let's get down to business first. We can deal with the rest later. We finally managed to shake off that monk, so we need to hurry. He might come chasing us again soon..."

Immediately, Canggou dismounted from the tiger's back and quickly headed towards Longya Mountain.

Judging from his posture, he seems to be after something in Dragon Tooth Mountain as well.

……

Two miles away.

The radar seemed to be interfered with by the aura of the person and the beast, resulting in somewhat blurry images and intermittent signal transmission. However, the movements of the person and the beast could still be barely discerned.

It seems they didn't come specifically for him.

Judging from their appearance, are they heading towards Longya Mountain?
And what about Monk Juechen?

Weren't they fighting last night? Now that Canggou Daoren is here, where is Juechen Monk?
They shouldn't have been killed, right?

Chen Yang's heart tightened. He had originally planned to join forces with Monk Juechen to try and deal with this Canggou Daoist.

If Monk Juechen dies, he alone will have a difficult time facing this man and tiger.

The experience in the dream left a deep shadow on Chen Yang.

A flash of inspiration struck Chen Yang.

A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

If they came for what's in Dragon Tooth Mountain, they'll inevitably have to go into that cave.

The laws and restrictions within the cave will imprison their cultivation; I can wait until they enter and then blow up the cave.

Even if they don't die, they'll still be in big trouble.

……

-

Just as Chen Yang was devising a plan, the man and the tiger arrived at the foot of Dragon Tooth Mountain and found the cave entrance at the foot of the mountain.

Several dozen meters away, the Taoist Canggou stopped.

"This Tian Bonong is truly useless. He hasn't been able to manage this place for so many years, and I have to do it myself." Cang Gou sneered.

Judging from his tone, it seemed he already knew where this place was.

"Roar!"

The white tiger growled softly, "If you really want to go in, the thing inside is very powerful. Even if it's dead, leaving only a trace of its will, it'll be enough to give us trouble..."

"Ah."

Cang Gou shook his head indifferently, "Fortune favors the bold. My lifespan is almost over, and with this grotto-heaven open, there's not much time left. This time, I'm determined to get out no matter what. If I back down now, I'm afraid I'll never have another chance..."

Baihu could sense Canggou's determination, so he didn't say anything more.

"There are laws and restrictions in this mountain that can imprison cultivation. You stay outside and keep watch; you don't need to come in with me. I guess that kid hasn't gone far yet. Be extra careful and don't let yourself be caught off guard. That kid has some tricks up his sleeve; don't let him get close..."

Cang Gou gave an order and then casually walked into the cave.

"Roar!"

The white tiger let out a low growl, stayed outside the cave, and went to a large rock outside the cave, where it lay down directly.

He appeared to be looking downcast, but in reality, his primordial spirit was scanning his surroundings again and again, in a state of complete alert.

……

Mudd!

Seeing the White Tiger God Demon left outside the cave, Chen Yang felt completely unwell.

It would have been better if both the man and the tiger had gone in, but they had to leave one guarding the door.

Canggou Daoren was indeed cautious.

Now, Chen Yang dared not make any rash moves.

Mo Yuan's eyes gleamed with golden light. "A White Tiger Divine Fiend at its peak combat power. Master, can we try to lure it away and take the opportunity to blow up the cave? There are restrictions in the mountain. Once Cang Gou's cultivation is imprisoned and he's buried inside, it will probably be difficult for him to get out again..."

"We'll talk about it later."

Chen Yang had the same idea. Even if the White Tiger God didn't fall for it, he still had one Dao Zhen Pill left, which he could use to force the Water Monkey to take advantage of him.

When the time comes, all we need to do is blow up the cave entrance, and Canggou Daoren will surely be buried inside.

You must understand that the restrictions in the mountains can imprison cultivation. Even if a Taoist Cang Gou whose cultivation is imprisoned isn't crushed to death, how can he get out of the collapsing mountain? Dig out with his bare hands?

How many people did Tian Bonong hire, and how many years did it take to dig through such a cave? How long would it take Cang Gou to dig it out all by himself?
This method is feasible.

But Cang Gou was a cautious person, so Chen Yang thought it best to be on the safe side and wait a little longer.

After all, Cang Gou had only just entered the cave; what if he was already waiting at the entrance?
Rushing in so recklessly might just be courting death.

Calm down; the night is still long, and Chen Yang can afford to wait.

As a hunter, you must be able to keep your composure.

……

Time passed second by second, and the White Tiger's primordial spirit scanned again and again, but the frequency had decreased significantly.

After storing Mo Yuan in the Azure Profound Pearl, Chen Yang cautiously made his way towards the location of the White Tiger Divine Fiend.

By this time, it was completely dark. In this secret realm, there wasn't even a single star in the night; it was pitch black.

Chen Yang even took a breath-holding pill, completely switching to internal energy, and dared not even breathe loudly.

The greyhound has been inside the cave for some time now, so it shouldn't still be guarding the entrance, right?
Slowly and leisurely, Chen Yang reached a point about a hundred meters from the cave entrance.

This distance is already very close.

He could already see the white tiger deity on the large rock at the cave entrance with his naked eye.

The trees ahead had already been cleared away by Tian Bonong's men.

There were burn marks in many places, and the white tiger was also very cautious, lighting a campfire in front of the cave.

The towering flames illuminated the surroundings, making him easy to spot if he approached at that moment.

The Moon Shadow Technique can conceal one's aura, but it cannot hide his figure in bright light.

For a strong person, even if you conceal your figure and aura, as long as they are alert and attentive enough, they can detect your approach through abnormal air movements, the sound of footprints on the ground, and other details.

Even if a person walks slowly, the surrounding air needs to make way for them. The ground around here is covered with branches and fallen leaves, so it's impossible to walk past without making a sound.

Moreover, with such a large ball of fire, if you can hide your body, can you also hide your shadow?

……

The White Tiger God's primordial spirit was still scanning the surroundings from time to time. Chen Yang strained his eyes but did not see the figure of the Canggou Taoist at the cave entrance.

That old dog has been inside for a while now.

Chen Yang was a bit hesitant.

They were afraid that Cang Gou was hiding in the passage, waiting for him to show himself.

This possibility is small, but not nonexistent.

Secondly, they worried that if the time dragged on too long, Cang Gou might finish what he was doing inside and come out with some kind of opportunity, which would put them in an even more passive position.

After a brief hesitation, Chen Yang finally made up his mind.

Go dry.

Lure the white tiger away, fire a cannon and leave, regardless of the outcome, just make a quick getaway.

With his ability to hide, once he enters the mountains and forests, he has nothing to fear from being found by the elusive dogs.

At this moment, Chen Yang stopped testing the waters. Testing would only waste time and might even give Baihu and Canggou Daoren a chance to communicate.

He directly threw a Dao True Pill into the Azure Profound Pearl.

Once the water monkey had eaten the Daozhen Pill and its effects took hold, it was immediately released.

……

"Roar!"

The White Tiger God was using his primordial spirit to monitor the surroundings, and after a long time without finding any movement, his mind had clearly relaxed.

Suddenly, a roar came from the woods not far away, and then a red figure suddenly darted out.

high speed.

Baihu jumped to his feet, sensing the powerful aura of divine power emanating from the other party, and dared not be negligent either.

Its white fur was instantly stained red.

Go crazy.

Its momentum suddenly surged.

"Roar!"

The white tiger roared at the afterimage in front of it, trying to threaten it not to come closer.

However, the afterimage showed absolutely no fear.

Only when it got closer could one see clearly that it was a red-haired water monkey, carrying an iron rod in its hand, with a frighteningly fierce aura.

The white tiger spat out a ball of divine energy, which instantly struck the water monkey.

"Roar!"

The water monkey roared and swung its staff, causing the ball of divine energy to explode.

Seeing that its threats were ineffective, the white tiger pounced down from the boulder, its massive body carrying immense pressure as it struck directly at the water monkey.

……

-

at the same time.

Deep inside the cave, Cang Gou had broken through the last small obstacle in the passage and entered the interior space of the cave.

The space was pitch black, but a sliver of light suddenly appeared the moment Cang Gou stepped inside.

A few fluorescent lights shone from the cave ceiling. Although the light was dim, Cang Gou's eyesight was still good enough to see.

The entire space is about half the size of a football field.

Scattered throughout the cave were some black crystals, like quartz, reflecting the fluorescence from the cave ceiling, appearing to flicker like some kind of animal blinking.

Looking around, it was very spacious.

There is a pool of water only in the middle of the cave.

Even from a distance, you could feel a chilling aura.

Cang Gou, however, acted as if nothing had happened and simply walked over.

The pool was pitch black.

It was three to five zhang wide, and the water inside was frozen.

Completely frozen, it looks like a piece of black jade inlaid on the ground.

Deep incantations were etched into the ice.

"The Purification Altar Demon-Sealing Mantra, the Golden Summit Golden Light Mantra!"

With Cang Gou's keen eyesight, he could easily recognize that the incantations on the ice were the Taoist "Purifying Altar Demon-Sealing Incantation" and the Buddhist "Golden Summit Golden Light Incantation," which were used by Emei to seal away evil spirits.
