Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 129 The Sky is Dark
Because of Zhang Laodao's humorous tone, everyone chuckled and agreed to his cruel words of running as far as they could.

Half a day later, as Taoist Zhang got up and left, Chen Mu and others also walked out of the side hall one after another.

As they were about to enter the mountain, they no longer had the desire to get together and chat, so after chatting briefly for a few minutes, they each returned to their residence.

Chen Mu nodded to Niu Dali and Han Jing, then strode into the room with a calm expression.

Although there were only two days left, he still did not stop practicing.

After sitting cross-legged, he lightly patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a pill, and swallowed it immediately...

……

Two days later.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, making it extremely gloomy, making the fluttering colorful flags all over the gate of the Beast Taming Sect appear even more vivid.

As the cold wind blew, Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes.

He frowned slightly, stood up and walked out of the room, then looked up at the sky.

"It's not a good weather..."

The weather was so bad on the day they entered the mountains. Even though Chen Mu never believed in the so-called prophecy, he still felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

After a moment, he shook his head, went back into the room, and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

Another half hour passed when shouts were suddenly heard outside the room.

"Junior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Chen, it's time for us to leave..."

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he knew that the time had come, so he pushed the door open and walked out.

"Sister."

The person who came was Han Jing.

Han Jing smiled and nodded, saying, "Junior Brother Niu has already gone. Let's not waste any more time and go."

Chen Mu had no objection. He nodded in agreement and walked out with her.

After a short while, the two of them arrived at a wide square.

At this time, the square was already crowded with monks.

There were disciples from all sects, but the largest number were the young disciples from the Beast Taming Sect. They had heard the news that the cultivators from the five sects were going to the mountains to slay monsters today, so they came early to join in the fun.

"Brother Chen, here, come here!"

Chen Mu raised one eyebrow and looked in the direction of the voice. Sure enough, he saw Niu Dali waving at him, and next to him were the Shuiyunjian group.

"Why are there so many people? Haven't the other groups set out yet?"

After he approached, he whispered to Niu Dali.

However, this time Niu Dali did not reply. Instead, he shook his head with a puzzled look and said, "I don't know. I just arrived..."

Fortunately, they were not the only two here.

Seeing the two men's puzzled expressions, Yao Xi, who was standing quietly by the side, gently explained, "Two junior brothers, please wait for a moment. I just heard from the Beastmaster Sect disciples that Master She seems to have something else to give."

"Oh?" Niu Dali raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "What is it?"

"This...I don't know either." Yao Xi shook his head.

Niu Dali could only give up and muttered, "Why didn't you take out the thing earlier? You have to wait until you are about to leave and waste time."

Chen Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything. After nodding to Yao Xi, he stood aside and closed his eyes, waiting.

Time passed by little by little, but because the sky was covered with dark clouds, it was impossible to see the changes in the weather.

After a long time, all the monks from the five sects had arrived and were divided into five distinct groups.

Opposite them were five rows of Beast Taming Sect disciples. If one looked closely, one could see that their number was almost the same as the five sects' cultivators. Chen Mu opened his eyes and suddenly saw Zhang Laodao, who had appeared in front of the team without him noticing.

He felt a little relieved, and then looked at the other four sects, and found that their foundation-building masters were in the same situation.

"Looks like we're getting ready to set off..."

As soon as this thought came to mind, She Chengyue, the head of the Beast Taming Sect, slowly walked over from the other side of the square.

The square suddenly became quiet, especially the young disciples on the periphery, who had unconsciously stood up straighter.

She Chengyue's expression remained unchanged as he walked up to the platform.

"Boom!"

The dark clouds in the sky, which had been silent for several hours, suddenly lit up with silver-white lightning, followed by the sound of deep thunder.

She Chengyue ignored him completely. He looked at the people in the audience very slowly, making everyone feel as if they were looking at him, and then he spoke loudly.

"The plague of demonic beasts has once again ravaged the world. However, we immortals have risen against the tide, striving to save the land. A wisp of immortal sound has been passed down through the ages. Now, in these remote and neglected places, the spirit of injustice lingers, breeding endless evil. We, the disciples of the immortal path, must bind our hair and draw our swords, slay the demons, eradicate the injustice, and protect our immortal path. Slaying demons in the Black Ze Mountains is treacherous and dangerous, needless to say. We must willingly shed blood for the land. There is fortune in danger, and the moment of life and death reveals the divine opportunity. I only hope that you will uphold the Dao heart and live up to the immortal soul. When you return after vanquishing the demons, I will brew wine to celebrate your return..."

At the gate square of the Beast Taming Sect, under the vast sky covered with dark clouds, disciples from various sects, dressed in different robes, all followed behind their commander-in-chief, listening to the instructions of the Beast Taming Sect's leader, She Chengyue, with high spirits and excited minds.

The entire huge Beast Taming Sect was filled with solemnity and dignification!
When She Chengyue finished his last words, Xin Cang, the leader of the Cold Pond Valley, stood up and shouted, "Are the remaining disciples of the Beast Taming Sect gathered?"

"One hundred and fifty disciples from each valley, waiting for the immortal's order!"

The five rows of black-robed disciples in front of Chen Mu and others shouted in unison, their voices as loud as drums.

Even the young disciples who were joining in the fun on the periphery were inspired by the atmosphere and shouted loudly, which seemed to disperse some of the dark clouds in the sky.

Niu Dali was stunned by the shouting and wanted to join in, but just as he was about to shout, he was suddenly stopped by Chen Mu.

After following Chen Mu's gaze and looking at the other four sects, he nodded in sudden realization.

Except for the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, the others may have looked excited, but no one spoke.

"In that case, get in line!"

At Xin Cang's command, the 150 disciples of the Beast Taming Sect were divided into five groups, each walking to the side of the five sects' ranks.

"Haha, Junior Brother Chen, you didn't expect it to be me, did you?"

She Yingtan, who didn't dare to laugh wildly for the time being, moved gently in front of Chen Mu, raised her eyebrows at him and said.

Behind him followed Gongye Ji, who was wearing a crimson robe and carrying two swords.

Chen Mu's eyes twitched, but his expression remained unchanged. He nodded and continued looking forward.

Han Jing, on the other hand, pretended to smile and started chatting with her.

Seeing that they were all lined up, She Chengyue nodded slightly, then suddenly raised his hand and swung it into the air.

"Shhhhh..."

Countless strands of silver light streaked across the sky and landed in front of the disciples below.

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he looked over attentively.

I saw that the silver light was actually a three-inch long silver needle, flashing with a creepy cold light.

She Chengyue slowly turned around, lowered his eyes to look at the disciples who were puzzled, and explained in a loud voice.

"This is a magical weapon unique to our Beast Taming Sect. It is used to assist disciples in taming demonic beasts. It has the effect of immobilizing them..."

"However, the effectiveness will gradually decrease with the grade of the monster. For example, a high-level monster can only be immobilized for three breaths."

"I am giving it to you now. If you encounter danger in the future, I hope this device can delay you for a while, giving you a chance to escape..."
