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

Chapter 1033 The White Tiger Falls, the Black Lotus Emerges!
"hiss!"

The white tiger's roar abruptly stopped, and it gasped in shock.

A glint of light entered his eyes, and a sudden, intense pain shot through him.

The white tiger instinctively closed its eyes.

A powerful stinging sensation instantly spread from my right eye to my entire head.

It tried to mobilize its internal energy to suppress the pain, but the energy entered its right eye, which not only failed to relieve the pain but made it even more intense.

It is Tian Bonong's grain-counting urn.

A thought flashed through Baihu's mind instantly, and he subconsciously thought of the treasure in Tian Bonong's hand.

Did Tian Bonong ambush me?

No, what reason would Tian Bonong have to ambush him?
Was that the kid from earlier?
How did Tian Bonong's grain-measuring urn end up in that kid's hands?

Could it be that Tian Bonong is dead?
……

Even at this critical moment, when life and death are at stake, this White Tiger Demon is still thinking about these trivial matters.

If you don’t die, who will?

"Roar!"

The intense pain caused the white tiger to roar and howl in agony, its claws flailing wildly across the ground.

Its fur was sometimes white and sometimes red, and it could barely maintain its berserk state.

The success rate of using the Valley-Pointing Jar is relatively low against opponents who are stronger and more wary than oneself, but once it does hit, it becomes extremely difficult to deal with.

It can spread rapidly throughout your body, to some extent restricting your cultivation.

The greater the difference in skill level between the user and the one affected, the stronger the binding force will be.

After all, the Soul-Destroying Nail relies on the user's true essence to be formed. The Soul-Destroying Nail formed by a superior is fatal to the restraint of a subordinate.

However, if a powerful being is hit by the Soul-Destroying Nail, like the Bashe, although it cannot remove the wisp of light on its own, it can seal it in a certain part of its body to minimize the damage to itself.

The White Tiger Divine Fiend is an existence on par with the Bashe, so Chen Yang certainly didn't expect that this wisp of light could subdue him.

However, the Water Monkey and Monk Juechen were still present at the scene.

The White Tiger has lost its composure; in this state, how can it possibly survive?

The water monkey pounced, grabbed the white tiger's tail, and slammed it wildly to the ground.

Monk Juechen put away his Dharma image, grabbed his staff, and strode over.

"boom!"

He swung his staff and struck the White Tiger Demon on the head in an instant.

"You beast, die!"

The monk Juechen's voice was like a resounding bell.

With a loud bang, the Zen staff, carrying immense force, struck the Baihui acupoint of the White Tiger God.

As if struck by lightning, the white tiger's limbs suddenly straightened, and its entire body instantly stiffened.

His eyes were tightly closed, as if he had been paralyzed.

In an instant, blood gushed from all seven orifices.

"Roar……"

The white tiger let out a low growl, and then its entire body collapsed.

At the same time, a white light shot out, trying to escape.

"boom!"

Just as Monk Juechen was about to make his move, a huge, thick arc of light lashed out and struck the white light.

A sharp, spiritual shriek emanated from the white light, then vanished without a trace in an instant.

died!

The White Tiger, one of the four guardian beasts, died just like that.

Juechen, leaning on his staff, stood there, staring blankly at the corpse of the White Tiger God, which lay sprawled on the ground.

This white tiger has been following Cang Gou for many years, and they are already old rivals.

They've had countless dealings with each other.

Although the opponents always outnumbered him, he was always able to hold his own against them with his Golden Body Technique. He thought to himself, "I can't kill you, and no matter how strong or how many of you attack me, you can't kill me."

If one of you comes at me, it's a draw; if ten of you come at me, it's still a draw. You can't break through my defense.

Over the years, Juechen has gotten used to fighting them to a draw.

I never imagined that the situation would turn around and that I would end up ganging up on these guys.

The death of the White Tiger God Demon actually made him feel a little sad.

"Amitabha."

Juechen clasped his hands together and silently recited a mantra for rebirth.

Not far away, Chen Yang, carrying a mountain-driving whip, walked towards them.

……

"Ding, mission complete. Hunted SS-level Divine Fiend [White Tiger]*1. Reward: [Dao Zhen Pill]*1, experience points +100000."

……

A system notification appeared in Chen Yang's mind, officially announcing the departure of the White Tiger Divine Demon.

Another Dao True Pill.

The Dao Zhen Pill that was just consumed has essentially been returned to you.

"Roar!"

The water monkey let out a low growl and moved closer to Chen Yang.

Putting everything else aside, this water monkey is really awesome.

A natural-born top-tier fighter.

Chen Yang didn't say much, but gave it a Grade 1 [Super Animal Growth Essence] as a reward, and then put it into the Azure Profound Pearl.

The corpse of the White Tiger God-Demon rapidly shrank, with some of its divine and demonic energy dissipating and others receding.

In a short while, it turned into dust, leaving only a fist-sized inner core divine demon bead on the spot.

Chen Yang bent down, picked up the bead, and easily stored it in the system warehouse.

"Ugh!"

At this moment, Monk Juechen had also finished reciting the Rebirth Mantra.

"Grandmaster."

Chen Yang clasped his hands together and bowed to Monk Juechen.

Monk Juechen nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Chen Yang, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "What are you doing here?"

"It's a long story."

Chen Yang gave a wry smile. "Master, now is not the time to talk about this. Cang Gou, he..."

……

In just a few words, Chen Yang recounted the whole story to Juechen, picking and choosing the parts that came to mind.

Juechen was somewhat surprised to hear that Canggou had entered Longya Mountain.

He immediately followed Chen Yang and headed towards Longya Mountain.

With Monk Juechen here, Chen Yang felt more confident. Even if he were to face Canggou head-on, Juechen would be there to take his place.

Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing the collapsed hole, Juechenye was at a loss for words.

Chen Yang chuckled dryly and said, "There are restrictions in this mountain that can imprison cultivation and even suppress physical strength. I didn't know you were coming, Master, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic of sealing him inside. With the restrictions in place, even if he survives, it will be very difficult for him to climb out..."

Chen Yang did not know beforehand that Monk Juechen would come; otherwise, he would not have chosen to do so. At that time, it was indeed the best course of action.

But with the arrival of Monk Juechen, the current situation has become quite difficult to handle.

Chen Yang first summoned a few bone-eating beetles to go inside and check the situation.

The cave has been severely damaged by two explosions.

The entire passage is probably two-thirds blocked.

The restrictions of the laws seem to have been unaffected; the sealing power still exists.

Even if you release all tens of thousands of his bone-eating beetles and let the swarm dig, it probably won't be able to dig through in just a day or two.

The key issue is that after the tunnel was blasted, the mountainside became loose. Even if you dig away some soil and rocks, more soil and rocks may collapse down, potentially burying the area even more severely.

"Do you know what's inside?" Juechen asked.

Chen Yang shook his head. "Tian Bo Nong has captured a lot of beast slaves and people, and has been digging here for quite some time. I originally wanted to go in and take a look, but I was afraid that there might be some evil spirits inside. Master, do you know anything about this place?"

He originally intended to ask Juechen this question.

After all, Cang Gou must know what's inside, and Jue Chen has dealt with Cang Gou for so many years, so he might also know something.

Upon hearing this, Juechen shook his head as well. "Although I don't know what it is, I can sense a very powerful evil aura. You're probably right, there's probably some incredible evil spirit lurking in this mountain."

Since Juechen has said so, it must be true.

Juechen's expression was serious. "Although the sealing barrier in this mountain is powerful, it shouldn't be able to completely imprison Canggou's power. So, don't be too optimistic. This place might not be able to trap him."

"Now what?"

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow and looked at Juechen questioningly, "Want to go in and take a look? I can have the swarm of insects clear a path, but with the cave collapsed like this, it probably won't be open anytime soon..."

Juechen took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and said, "That's fine. We can seal him off for now. The secret realm will close again in a few days. This guy is eager to get out. As long as we can keep him here for this period, it will be too late for him to come out once the secret realm closes. At that time, I will deal with him..."

Chen Yang looked at Juechen in surprise, "Grandmaster, aren't you planning to go out?"

"Amitabha."

Juechen sighed, "What's the point of going out? I've grown accustomed to my current life, and my days are numbered. What's the point of going out? Knowing that Emei still exists, and that its lineage is still intact, is enough to satisfy this humble monk..."

At this point, he chuckled again, "Besides, that Cang Gou fellow probably can't live without me. It's been almost three hundred years. He wants to kill me, and I want to kill him. We should settle things before we die, so we don't carry our grudges into the next life..."

Chen Yang said awkwardly, "Now that the White Tiger is dead, the White Fox is dead, and Xiao Ling has also perished unexpectedly, Cang Gou is all alone. Let him stay in this secret realm. The Ancestor has been entangled with him for many years. Why not take this opportunity to go out and enjoy a peaceful life? The world today is completely different from the world the Ancestor knew. Doesn't the Ancestor wonder what time will be like in three hundred years?"

Juechen waved his hand, "The mortal world is full of appearances, and no matter what I become, it's all the same. Besides, I'm not destined to enjoy a life of leisure. There has to be a resolution between me and Canggou. This Nine Elders Cave Heaven is the foundation of my Emei Sect for thousands of years. I can't leave Canggou alone here..."

Seeing his insistence, Chen Yang didn't say anything more.

The message urging him to leave was conveyed by Yuan Long through Chen Yang. The Emei sect might not know about it, but since they know there is such an ancestor, they must hope that he can leave.

Even if their lifespan is short, even if they don't live long, they are still the foundation of Emei. "Rumble..."

Just then, the mountain of Longya Mountain trembled slightly.

Both of them looked over at the same time.

The shadows of the trees on the mountain swayed, and rocks collapsed, as if an earthquake had struck.

At first, Chen Yang thought it was a follow-up reaction to the explosion he had previously caused, but upon closer inspection, he realized it didn't seem quite like it.

The feeling was more like something was crashing into the entire mountain from the inside.

"Boom, boom..."

The shaking of the mountain became increasingly noticeable.

When Chen Yang used his Heavenly Eye, he saw that layers of pale golden net-like energy had appeared out of thin air on the surface of the entire mountain.

Under the impact of a dark energy emanating from inside the mountain, the golden energy layer flickered, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, sometimes distorted, and sometimes normal.

Juechen was also watching intently, pulling Chen Yang back over a hundred meters.

The golden energy layer must be the barrier in this mountain, and the black energy is trying to break through it.

This seal contains laws, it must be the work of a Celestial Realm expert. How could that black energy shake the laws?
At that moment, Chen Yang clearly saw a black lotus floating out of thin air from the mountain.

A black lotus, several meters long and wide, glossy black.

"Is that it?"

Upon seeing the Black Lotus, Juechen's face immediately showed horror, and he even clenched his fists.

"what?"

Chen Yang was equally surprised.

The black lotus was enveloped in inky energy, and its seventy-two petals and leaves were in full bloom, but due to the angle, the situation inside the lotus platform could not be seen.

Even from a great distance, Chen Yang could feel the immense evil.

Juechen didn't answer him, but just stared at him, his eyes filled with only two words.

Shocked.

"boom!"

The black lotus crashed violently into the golden energy layer.

With a deafening roar, the earth shook and the mountains trembled, and three stones crumbled.

The golden energy layer shook violently, flickering like a balloon about to be punctured.

"boom……"

"boom……"

……

After several impacts, the golden energy layer grew increasingly dim.

"Shh!"

Just then, a black sword aura suddenly shot out from the mountain.

"boom!"

The sword light finally broke through the golden energy layer and shot straight into the sky.

It almost blew away all the clouds above Longya Mountain.

Rumble…

Longya Mountain shook violently, and a large number of rocks collapsed.

Chen Yang only felt a gust of wind whistling past him, and when he turned around, the monk Juechen was nowhere to be seen.

Looking further ahead, Juechen was standing on a blue futon, flying towards the summit of Longya Mountain.

From a great distance, a staff was swung out.

His true essence was released outward, and a huge golden staff phantom condensed in the void, which then struck fiercely at the black lotus on the mountaintop.

"Shh!"

Another sword aura shot into the sky, striking directly at the golden staff phantom.

The two quickly broke apart.

At the same time, a figure shot out from the mountain and stood firmly on the mountaintop.

He was dressed in tattered Taoist robes, thin in stature, yet possessed an exceptionally upright bearing, his powerful aura instantly overwhelming all directions.

Chen Yang was controlling a bone-eating beetle, holding a Divine Demon Inner Core, preparing to charge forward and self-destruct.

However, the bone-eating beetle was intimidated by the Taoist's imposing aura and could not advance an inch.

Even from a distance of forty or fifty meters, it was directly crushed in mid-air by that Taoist priest.

"boom!"

At the last moment, Chen Yang detonated the Divine Fiend Prayer Bead.

But they were too far away, and when the mushroom cloud rose, the shockwave had almost no effect on the person.

The Taoist priest held a sword in his right hand and exchanged blows with Juechen from a distance.

The two were evenly matched, and after a few exchanges, it was difficult to determine a winner.

The black lotus suddenly spun around, and a stream of black energy shot directly towards Juechen.

Juechen seemed unwilling to be touched by the black energy, so he abandoned the Taoist priest and quickly flew away to avoid it.

At this moment, the black lotus quickly retracted and disappeared into the top of the Taoist's head.

The Taoist priest merely turned and glared down the mountain, saying nothing.

With a clang, a sword light landed at his feet, and the Taoist immediately mounted the sword and soared into the sky.

The speed was beyond imagination.

……

Throughout the entire ordeal, Chen Yang didn't dare to get close.

The powerful evil aura emanating from the Black Lotus sent chills down Chen Yang's spine.

Especially when Cang Gou turned around and looked back at him, Chen Yang was absolutely certain that he was looking at him.

That look in their eyes was truly terrifying, indescribably chilling.

Without any prior preparation, they could only watch helplessly as the greyhound left.

Juechen showed no intention of giving chase and reluctantly landed on the summit of Longya Mountain.

Chen Yang came to his senses, summoned a group of bone-eating beetles, and they carried him up to the mountaintop.

As you can see, there is a large hole at the top of the mountain, leading directly into the mountainside.

At this moment, the entire barrier around Dragon Tooth Mountain seemed to have disappeared.

Chen Yang could no longer sense the power of the previous restriction.

"I told you long ago, these mountain restrictions can't hold him!"

Monk Juechen sighed, his expression very serious.

Chen Yang asked, "Master, what was that black lotus just now?"

"Amitabha."

Juechen clasped his hands together and said, "I'll explain in detail later. Let's go down and see what's going on inside."

Without saying a word, they headed straight for the cave entrance.

Chen Yang was very puzzled. He left some bone-eating beetles around as a guard, and then followed Juechen down into the cave.

……

-

in the cave.

Several sections have collapsed, and the surrounding fluorescent stones and some black crystals are emitting faint glows.

Chen Yang looked up and saw that the cave walls were covered with dense incantations, but at this moment these incantations were cracked and destroyed, and their power was gone.

Juechen, leaning on his staff, had already begun walking deeper into the cave.

They stopped in front of a pool of water that was as black as ink.

Chen Yang followed, and couldn't help but pinch his nose.

The water in this pool has a strong fishy smell.

It doesn't smell bad, but it gives people a great deal of discomfort.

Juechen said, "Be careful not to get your hands on the water in the pool. The water in this pool is mixed with evil karma. Getting your hands on it is no different from getting your hands on calamity energy, and it will affect your cultivation..."

"Bad karma?"

Chen Yang's face was filled with surprise when he heard this word.

Juechen nodded.

He surveyed the scene, a hint of regret on his face, before finally sighing and preparing to leave.

Chen Yang also used radar to probe the bottom of the pool.

The boundary of Longya Mountain has now been removed, and the radar is basically functioning normally.

The pool wasn't very big, nor was it very deep, only about thirty or forty meters.

A single radar scan reveals everything.

The bottom of the pool was empty, with only some dark, charcoal-like silt.

The black gas energy is dissipating rapidly.

With Juechen's warning, Chen Yang naturally dared not easily come into contact with these energies.

After Juechen said goodbye, the two quickly returned the way they came.

……

"Master, what exactly is that thing?"

After leaving Longya Mountain, the two walked some distance and found a flat grove of trees nearby to rest for the time being.

Chen Yang lit a campfire, prepared some food, and started chatting with Juechen.
