Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 340 Dilemma
"Nai Gong didn't get anything from that room at all. Don't go too far, you beast!" Yue Lan held the Lengyue Sword in front of him to protect him, and cut the sword net that Jiang Qing had covered into pieces.

"He said he didn't get it?!" E Yuan and Kang Dabao were both shocked after hearing this. The former had excitement in his eyes and couldn't help but looked back at the entrance of the room frequently.

The key to the stone gate was related to the future of their Bihu clan, so Crocodile Yuan was extremely nervous.

Don't look at this green crocodile, although it is hundreds of years old, it grew up in this secluded Guanshan cave, and its shrewdness is obviously far inferior to that of the head of the Kang family. The latter saw that the crocodile Yuan had been persuaded by Yue Lan's words, and the golden light in his eyes flashed, and he first beat the Leng Yue Wuhua in front of Yue Lan, and then he opened his mouth to persuade:
"Friend Daoist Crocodile, don't trust this man's words. Let's kill this official first and check his storage bag before we make a conclusion."

After all, E Yuan is the leader of the Bihu lineage in this position, so the word "stupid" has nothing to do with him.

After chewing on Kang Dabao's words for a while, the Green Crocodile felt that they made a lot of sense. When he looked at Yue Lan, his eyes became more bloodshot.

It thought to itself, "It was a good idea to let the first few people pass through Bihu at first. No one of them is easy to deal with! Or these Kang guys are weak enough. We can deal with them after the cleansing formation is opened.

I just have to take this burly Taoist priest in front of me as soon as possible, lest someone else gets involved! It's a pity that my Bihu clan has been so devastated by Guanyu that I can't even handle these few human foundation builders."

Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in Crocodile Yuan's eyes, and he retracted the Sawtooth Formation.

After the fierce battle with Yue Lan, the number of Zhou Tianxing Dou was less than 300. But Yu Yuan had no intention of being stingy. As long as he had enough food, it would not take too long for him to recover all the saw teeth.

As soon as Crocodile Yuan's sawtooth formation was retracted, the pressure on Kang Dabao and others increased sharply.

Because of his good aptitude and because of the Liangyi Sect's policy of "strengthening the trunk and weakening the branches" for the sects under its jurisdiction, Yue Lan, as a second-level spiritual root cultivator of the Yue family's direct lineage, was able to join the Liangyi Sect since he was a child. After building his foundation, he was accepted as a direct disciple by the master of the fake pill.

Before the Yue family of Hancheng connected with the Yunjiaozhou court, Yue Lan had always been regarded as a trustworthy person in the eyes of the senior cultivators of the Liangyi Sect.

Therefore, he was able to be taught the "Moonlight Soul Sutra", a lower-level cosmic martial art, despite his family background. During this period, famous teachers taught him non-stop and high-level masters performed the sutra.

This is a favor that even Yuan Feng, who is much more talented than him, could not even dream of!
Yue Lan, a mere Qingye foundation-building cultivator, was able to receive such preferential treatment. In addition to his own good qualifications and hard work, it also shows how well the Liangyi Sect treats Yue Lan.

If nothing unexpected happens, Yue Lan should stay in Liangyi Sect with peace of mind, and getting a fake elixir should be a sure thing.

But an accident had already happened. The eldest daughter of the Yue family was favored by Kuang Liuting, which caused the Yue family in Hancheng to make the decision under Yue Jing and abandon their indecisive stance.

This also caused the Yue family to cut ties with those Yue family members who practiced in the Liangyi Sect, which made Yue Lan's situation in the Liangyi Sect even more difficult.

As for the Bright Moon Token in the Guanshan Cave, it was obtained by Yue Lan in the Liangyi Sect through good deeds and favors he had accumulated over the years before the Immortal Dynasty took control of Yunjiao Province.

But things have changed and people have changed. In today's Liangyi Sect, Yue Lan no longer has the face to do so.

Not to mention others, even his fellow apprentices who had always been as close as family had changed their attitudes towards him to some extent. This was also the reason why he, as an elder of the Liangyi Sect's Battle Hall, did not bring anyone with him on this trip.

In other words, this trip to the cave was almost Yue Lan's only chance to turn things around. As long as he could do what he wanted, take the treasures in the cave, occupy Chu Yanran's body, and then form a golden elixir, there was no reason for Liangyi Sect not to accept him.

By then, Yue Jing, with his fake pills, would no longer be able to hold on to his position as the head of the Yue family. The Hancheng Yue family, a family founded by the founder of the Liangyi Sect, should return to the Liangyi Sect to preserve the face of the sect.

But before the plan could be realized, Kang Dabao hooked up with a group of water beasts and entangled him. How could Yue Lan not be angry? !

When Crocodile Yuan's attack paused for a moment, Yue Lan felt the pressure greatly reduced. He put his fingers together and the Lengyue Sword shone brightly. Eight sword energies came out from all directions and corners, extremely sharp.

After breaking the golden light of Kang Dabao's pupil technique, cutting off Jiang Qing's charged sword, destroying Yuan Xiyue's Mingfei Dharma image, and breaking Zhang Qingran's protective spiritual weapon, Leng Yue's sword energy did not stop, plowing four bloody marks in the group of water beasts, and several second-level monsters were all killed by this sword.

There was a bloody mark on Jiang Qing's black robe caused by Yue Jing Lengyue's sword energy, but there was no fear on the face of this Chongming Sword Immortal. Instead, he was full of excitement.

The Bailu sword in his hand seemed to be humming continuously, fully revealing the fighting spirit that was surging in Jiang Qing's heart.

"I'm afraid my third son has some serious illness?" Master Kang could only complain in his heart. He stretched out the big banner in his hand, and without slowing down for a moment, the flag fluttered violently. The black wind it stirred up almost deflected the sword light that was about to stab Jiang Qing again, and it landed directly on the latter's side a few feet away.

In an instant, there were explosions and the sky was filled with mud.

Zhang Qingran and Yuan Xiyue were already inferior to Jiang Qing in strength, and without the support of their senior brother Kang Dabao, they were put in a very awkward position by Yue Lan's sudden attack.

"Cough," blood oozed from the corner of Yuan Xiyue's mouth, and the blood flowed onto her snow-white face, adding a bit of color.

Zhang Qingran's face was pale. Under Yue Lan's strong attack, she broke two or three spiritual weapons in succession. Her storage bag was originally an empty bag, how could it withstand such consumption? !

If Yuan Feng, who is kind and considerate to women, saw the current situation of these two girls, he would probably be so heartbroken that he would cry.

But compared with him, Master Kang is much rougher and stiffer and doesn't talk about these things.

Even when facing a powerful enemy, Kang Dabao could make Yuan Xiyue feel that a pair of golden eyes were watching her all the time, so that the eldest daughter of the Yuan family never had the courage to cross the line.

She always felt that this unprepossessing little headmaster had the ruthlessness to bring down the emperor. Even if it meant being hit by Yue Lan's sword, he could still smash his head with the golden light in his two little eyes.

Besides, Yuan Xiyue had planted the Ming Fei Seal on Zhang Qingran. While holding the latter's life in her hands, she also made the latter dare not to stay away from her and was willing to be an accomplice to the head of the Kang family.

With a "crackling" sound, the flagpole of the Mo Yuan flag that Kang Dabao had been with for many years broke, and the eleven layers of spiritual patterns burst completely in an instant. The golden fragments made of wind-cold iron and glass steel fell to the ground. The large banner made of the skin of the second-grade top-quality spiritual beast mountain hog was tanned by Yue Lan's fierce sword light!

This change filled the golden pupils of Sect Leader Kang with heartache, and forced him to use the Immortal Chess Plate to cope with the situation.

Then, Yue Lan saw the white dew in Jiang Qing's hand being blocked by his sword, and the sword energy scattered and splashed, causing the former to suffer several injuries.

Even though he knew that Crocodile Yuan was gathering strength to use a powerful method, it would take too long. Sect Leader Kang could no longer hold back and shouted, "Fellow Daoist Crocodile?!!!"

As the magic sound came out, a green glazed water arrow shot out from the crocodile's huge mouth. Yue Lan held up a shield to block it, but the shield magic weapon was pierced on the spot.

Yue Lan's shield is a top-grade spiritual weapon, and he used it to resist the water arrows of the crocodile Yuan without any intention of overestimating himself. Who would have thought that the method of the crocodile Yuan was still far beyond his expectations! !
At this point in the battle, Yue Lan's expression finally changed drastically. While slapping out the talisman to save his life, he also urged urgently: "Brother Chi, save me!"

"Hiss!" The half-Chi was now covered in blood, and its body was wrapped in blue flames from the tips of its claws to its tail. It was fighting fiercely with the three beasts led by the purple-bearded king tuna. The scene was much more lively than that of Master Kang's side.

The water beasts were not doing well either. A huge hole opened on the pectoral fin of the purple-bearded king tuna, which had to be sealed with a spiritual ban to prevent it from breaking open. Four of the three pairs of yellow pupils of the six-eyed wise widower were blinded by the smoke. The horn of the one-horned poisonous porpoise had long since disappeared, leaving only an empty flesh hole on its head, which spurted blood from time to time.

Even in such a tense battle situation, Ban Chi still shook his body after hearing Yue Lan's urging. After being hit by the long whisker whip of the Purple Bearded King Tuna, he used the force to bounce out, and desperately sprayed out a stream of fire, which evaporated the green glaze water arrow of Crocodile Yuan into steam on the spot, and immediately saved Yue Lan from danger.

"Yue Lan is so lucky!" Kang Dabao felt envious and sighed that it would be great if his son who died young could fight as well as this half-Chi!

But it was clear that the flames that Ban Chi spewed out were not ordinary means. After it was spewed out, its spirit became visibly weak. It no longer had the majestic look it had when it fought the three-headed water beast.

"My fellow Taoists, please make a harder effort and don't let this mixed-blood loach survive today!" Crocodile Yuan shouted coldly, looking at Banchi with disgust in his eyes.

"To serve a lowly person with the dignity of a dragon descendant is the most despicable thing!"

When the Purple-bearded King Yui and the other three beasts saw Ban Chi's dejected look, their morale was greatly boosted.

Although Yue Lan's swordsmanship was high, he lost his defensive spiritual weapon. Facing the joint attack of E Yuan and the other cultivators, he lost his initial composure and began to be caught in a dilemma, looking quite embarrassed.

"Brother Chi is gone!" Yue Lan shouted loudly and urged the Lengyue Sword, barely blocking a row of saw teeth sprayed out by the crocodile Yuan. He was hit on the shoulder by two golden lights from Kang Dabao, which tore his robes and spiritual restrictions on the spot. The skin and flesh on his shoulder were flipped up and difficult to heal.

"Damn you little thief!" Yue Lan had been fighting with this strange group of people for such a long time that the field was full of blood and his soles were slippery. However, it was not until this time that he was seriously injured. Naturally, he was quite angry with the instigator, Master Kang.

But the latter was no longer the young Qigong practitioner whom he had criticized in the past. In this situation, even if Yue Lan was furious, it would be difficult for him to cause any substantial harm to Kang Dabao.

Yue Lan had no choice but to take advantage of the fact that the crocodile's energy had not yet been regenerated and to block Jiang Qing's sword. Even though the wound on his shoulder would burst open and could no longer be stopped, he still squeezed to the side of Ban Chi and slashed with his sword.

"Roar! The monk is looking for death!" Half of the pectoral fin of the purple-bearded king tuna was cut off by Yue Lan's sword. The two purple whiskers trembled in pain and made way for the half-chi to retreat.

"Brother Chi is leaving!" Yue Lan ignored the fact that his opponents were all eyeing him covetously and first took back his greatest helper into his spirit beast bag to raise him, leaving himself alone to fight the powerful enemy.

"You can't get away!" How could E Yuan bear to let the cooked duck fly away, so he stepped forward to stop him.

"This four-legged beast has a very thick skin. I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill him even with a few sword strikes!" Yue Lan immediately made a plan. As an elder of the Liangyi Sect's War Hall, he had experienced many life-and-death crises. Even in more dangerous situations than this, Yue Lan did not lose his composure.

The crocodile Yuan was ferocious, and within a short period of time, only one of them could restrain Yue Lan's Cold Moon Sword, making it impossible for him to escape. Seeing that the other cultivators and water beasts were also rushing towards him, it was only at this time that Yue Lan was willing to release his real trump card.

"Ding!" A shadow of a silver bell suddenly appeared in the air, covering Yue Lan and isolating all the Taoist magic and spiritual weapons in the sky from outside.

The head of the Kang family frowned and sighed softly, "Another talisman!"

These children of wealthy families and disciples of high-ranking sects are all extremely wealthy. Master Kang has practiced for so many years, and this time during the visit to the cave, he has seen the most talismans.

The defensive silver bell talisman that Yue Lan sacrificed at this time was much more valuable than the golden knife talisman that Yuan Xiyue had used before.

But the Jingnan Yuan family was just a good family in a remote area, and was far inferior to the Liangyi Sect, a great Jindan sect that dominated several states. It was already a great effort for them to equip Yuan Xiyue with an incomplete talisman, which was considered rare.

With the silver bell protecting his body, Yue Lan finally got a chance to catch his breath. This talisman was given to him by the head of the sect as a reward when he was promoted to the elder of the war hall.

Yue Lan has always cherished this treasure, but now he can no longer care about it in order to save his life.

However, although the Silver Bell Talisman is more precious than ordinary attack talismans, it has no offensive capabilities.

Therefore, Yue Lan's situation did not improve at all. He could only take the beatings. At most, he would shoot out a few sword energies from time to time to show that he was still determined to fight.

After fighting and retreating, Yue Lan moved to another wing of the room.

"Not good!" Kang Dabao had seen through Yue Lan's thoughts, because once a cultivator entered any room in the Ice Drinking Room, it would be much more difficult for outsiders to break in from the outside. Without the power of the fake elixir, it would be almost impossible.

Apparently, Crocodile Yuan had anticipated Yue Lan's plan. The green glazed water arrow in his mouth slowly took shape and was about to be ejected.

“It’s gonna be bad!!” Anxiety immediately appeared on the face of the head of Kangda. As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Lan’s figure entered the light curtain of the room and disappeared without a trace.

The silver bell talisman disappeared, and Crocodile Yuan forcefully swallowed the green glaze water arrow back, apparently in a very unhappy mood.

"Our only plan now is to hope that what this guy said is true." Crocodile Yuan sighed, not even willing to take a break. He talked to the other beasts in animal language for a while, and then looked at Kang Dabao.

"Friend Kang, I will go into the room again to check. If the key to the stone door is still there, I have a method passed down by my ancestors to unlock it. But with my ability, I'm afraid it will take more than three days to open the light curtain in this room. I wonder if Friend Kang has a formation-breaking bead you can lend me?"

"Array-breaking beads?" Kang Dabao only had five first-level beads on hand, so he knew they were useless here, so he looked at the Sword Immortal Chongming who was still unsatisfied with the battle.

"Senior Brother, I don't have this either." Jiang Qing stroked the blade of the Bailu Sword affectionately. This flying sword given by the Earl of Nan'an was very tough. There was no crack on it after such a great battle.

Needless to say, Zhang Qingran was almost alone at this time.

"Master Kang, I do have a second-level array-breaking bead in my hand." Yuan Xiyue was single, and she knew that a poor guy would not let her go, so she said frankly.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" Master Kang was quite satisfied with Yuan Xiyue's performance just now. The latter did not do anything unwise, which saved Kang Dabao from getting more blood on his hands.

After getting the second-level formation-breaking bead, E Yuan entered the room that Yue Lan had just come out of. Kang Dabao first ordered the cultivators to regulate their breathing and heal their wounds. Although Yue Lan was alone, the life-and-death struggle caused considerable casualties to the cultivators.

The same was true for the Purple-bearded King Tuna and other water beasts. If they didn't risk their lives and pay a heavy price, how could they force Banchi, who had been with Yue Lan for many years and had a slight reputation in Shannan Dao, to flee?
After settling all the practitioners, Master Kang, who was not seriously injured, fell into a dilemma.

There are quite a few empty rooms nearby. Maybe I can just pick one and go in, and take out a few golden elixirs? ? Can't I trust everything that the four-legged beast, Crocodile Yuan, says? !
However, Master Kang was only hesitant for half a quarter of an hour when a light curtain flashed in a room in the distance, and a halberd-wielding monk wearing a cloak and holding a short halberd walked out with an unwilling look on his face.

Yuan Feng was feeling unwilling to waste another second-level formation-breaking bead, but was pleasantly surprised to find out the whereabouts of Yuan Xiyue and Zhang Qingran with his spiritual sense.

"Sister, little darling!"

Kang Dabao, who had relied on the Changxi Jue to hold on until now, felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he heard these frivolous words. Now the camp is full of wounded soldiers, and he has to choose whether to fight or not.
