Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 140 Mixed joys and sorrows
The thunder rolled and the sound was roaring.

All the disciples in the formation were stunned and stared blankly for a long time. It was not until the dark clouds above the sky gradually dispersed that they suddenly reacted and rushed towards Chen Mu at varying speeds.

When they got closer, the disciples could see clearly that Chen Mu, who had just been like a banished immortal who had brought down thunder and killed demons, no longer had the cool and dashing spirit he once had.

His face was pale, his steps were unsteady, the corners of his robes were stained with blood, and he looked a little tired. It was clear that he was using his remaining magic power to suppress the bleeding from his five orifices. It seemed that if he was not careful, he would faint...

But fortunately, everyone knew that the danger was over, so they did not pretend to be serious, but talked freely in a very good mood.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, how are you feeling? Are you still holding on?"

……

"Brother Chen, what kind of magic was that technique you just used? I've never seen it before. Did you learn it from your master? Brother, can you tell me if I have the talent for it..."

Everyone started talking about it, especially Li Quan, who couldn't wait to imagine the scene of himself controlling thunder and killing demons.

Chen Mu pursed his lips and smiled, trying hard to support the dried-up spirit pool in his body. He waved his hand to disperse the thunderclouds in the sky. A sense of high spirits surged in his heart, and he did not forget to pretend to be humble.

"When magic is in operation, it is all in one's mind. When the mind is calm and the intention is right, the spirit will naturally condense and the energy will be refined!"

"If Junior Brother Li wants to practice this 'Secret Technique of Small Gui Water Nether Thunder', he must first report to the Master of Tianhu Peak."

Li Quan's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. He glanced at Niu Dali and whispered, "So it's the secret treasure of Tianhu Peak... Senior Brother Chen, please help me intercede when we get back and see if you can bring me to your Tianhu Peak. How about that?"

Chen Mu was slightly stunned, then shook his head and laughed.

Niu Dali heard it clearly, and immediately laughed and said, "You kid, you want to change your sect just for the sake of Taoism and magic? When I go back and report to the Peak Master, I will definitely not let you off!"

Li Quan knew he was joking, so he quickly waved his hands and said with a bitter face, "Since we are from the same sect, why should we change sects... Forget it, it seems that this technique is not suitable for me. Senior Brother Niu should not tell the Peak Master."

"Go, go, hurry up and clean up. We have to go check on where the other disciples are stationed!"

Niu Dali glared and scolded with laughter.

Everyone laughed, and Li Quan was not angry at all. He looked at the demon corpses all over the ground, and his heart became more motivated. He quickly asked everyone to get busy.

Chen Mu chuckled and nodded at Niu Dali, then looked at Han Jing, whose brows were slightly furrowed, and whispered, "It's okay, you can't see it after a while of breathing..."

He knew what she was worried about, so he told her directly to avoid her asking again.

Han Jing's brows relaxed slightly when she heard this, and she nodded slightly without saying anything more.

At this moment, She Yingtan finally found an opening, took two steps forward, and chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Chen's battle this time really surprised me. It changed my mind a lot..."

Judging from the beginning, she was indeed quite prejudiced against Chen Mu, thinking that he loved to show off his eloquence and was used to using reason to pressure others.

But after spending time with him this time, she felt that Chen Mu's behavior was quite to her liking. He was flexible and adaptable, yet also brave enough to take responsibility...

The most important thing is that Chen Mu saved her an opportunity to reveal her true colors. Just based on this point, she secretly thought about discarding all her previous prejudices.

Chen Mu smiled faintly, exhaled softly, and replied, "Thank you, Daoist Fellow She, for your praise. The victory in this battle was not due to me, but to your Four Symbols Spirit Gathering Formation. Without it, the disciples of our two sects would be lucky to have survived for more than half." She Yingtan giggled repeatedly, and after a moment, replied, "If Daoist Fellow Chen really thinks so, then please give us more demon pills and spiritual materials."

Chen Mu nodded slightly in agreement. The fact that their numbers remained the same was indeed due to the power of the formation. Compared to the lives of his disciples, he was not stingy with even a little bit of resources...

They didn't know whether there were any monsters invading other positions, because they didn't notice the Lingguang Talisman at all during the fight, and now, the Lingguang Talisman had long been silent and nothing could be seen. However, they did not dare to be careless for the sake of safety.

So everyone quickly collected some monster and spiritual materials, recovered some magic power, and then quickly flew to support the other positions.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the bright sunshine appeared.

In the dense forest, ten figures moved one after another, and soon they arrived at a mountain range.

Chen Mu and others jumped over the huge rock in front of them. After seeing the scene behind the rock clearly, they were stunned and rushed over to help.

Dozens of monsters gathered together, and seemed to be very patient as they took turns attacking the several monks surrounded by them.

At this time, the remaining monks all looked pale and haggard, and it was obvious that they could not hold on for much longer.

But suddenly he saw a familiar figure coming from a distance, and his eyes suddenly became hot. He used all his magic power to hold back the monster.

After a while, everyone worked together to catch all the remaining monsters. After a few words, Chen Mu did not dare to delay and leaped away with a few people.

It was not until half a day later that they circled the 500-mile area and stopped with serious expressions.

"Within a 500-li radius, the monsters actually attacked in three waves. How could there be so many monsters?"

Niu Dali muttered gloomily.

However, as they came along, they discovered that among the original five groups of disciples, two areas had been invaded by monsters. Adding the group they encountered, the total number was nearly two thousand!
Although there were not many high-level monsters, such a large number of monsters inevitably caused a tragic scene.

The two groups of disciples suddenly clashed, and several died on the spot. Fortunately, they released a spiritual talisman, attracting the other three groups of disciples to come to their aid. They were able to stabilize the situation until they received help from Chen Mu and others...

"There's no set number of monsters to plague us. We're just unlucky to have encountered this many monsters."

She Yingtan shook her head and sighed. Several disciples of the Beast Taming Sect also died, and she sighed for it too. But since she was in the midst of this disaster caused by the monster, she could only sigh that this was her fate.

Gongye Ji, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up upon hearing this, "Junior Sister She is absolutely right. We have done our utmost to stop nearly half of the attacking monsters. We can now have a clear conscience."

It would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but the fact that he spoke immediately caused Niu Dali to snort and curl his lips.

But in the end, out of consideration for the Beastmaster Sect and She Yingtan's face, he did not make any more sarcastic remarks. Instead, he stood up, turned around and walked away, as if he did not want to say anything more to him.

"you!"

Gongye Ji growled, a hint of anger rising on his face. However, he knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't really step forward to argue with Niu Dali. His reaction was only to show that he wasn't afraid of...
