Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 281 Chaos abounds
The female cultivator surnamed Xu sighed softly, shook her head and said with emotion.

Lin Shuyun quickly said a few words to comfort them, and then everyone turned their attention to the back of the female cultivator named Xu.

Her face was flushed, her skin was fair and she was beautiful. Below her eyebrows were a pair of beautiful blue eyes. Her dark black hair was tied up in a bun like a woman for some reason, which was in stark contrast to her youthful appearance.

"He Ling'er greets all the fellow Taoists!"

Perhaps it was because she was in Yuehua Mountain, a sect for female cultivators, that He Ling'er felt embarrassed when faced with the direct gazes of Chen Mu and Niu Dali, and she didn't know how to respond.

Seeing this, the female cultivator surnamed Xu explained, "Excuse me, fellow Daoists, for making fun of you. I, your junior sister, have never left the mountain since I first entered the sect. Only after I successfully established my foundation did my master release me from my restrictions..."

Hearing this, Lin Shuyun's eyes flashed, and he asked in surprise, "So, this fellow Taoist's talent...?"

He was able to break through to the foundation-building stage without ever going down the mountain to gain experience. If it wasn't for his innocent heart, then it must be due to his natural talent, with no bottlenecks whatsoever.

The female cultivator surnamed Xu smiled and nodded, saying, "Junior Sister He has a rare ice spirit root."

"Ice Spirit Root!"

Chen Mu and the other three all had their pupils shrink slightly, and their minds were quite excited.

They had long known about the theory of unusual spiritual roots, but had never encountered anyone who could truly claim to possess them. Who would have thought that Yuehua Mountain had quietly nurtured a cultivator with unusual spiritual roots in their foundation-building stage?

Chen Mu was curious, but she was afraid of being so abrupt and couldn't use her spiritual sense, so she could only look at it with her eyes, trying to see what was so proud of the ice spirit root.

But this time, the blush on He Ling'er's cheeks became more obvious. She clenched her hands together and felt uncomfortable all over.

Chen Mu then realized that his behavior was quite rude, so he quickly looked away and stopped looking. At the same time, he also stopped Niu Dali who was about to send out his spiritual sense.

"Since you have such a foundation, Fellow Daoist Xu was still expressing his feelings just now. It's really irritating!" Lin Shuyun said with a smile.

The female cultivator surnamed Xu waved her hand without saying anything.

Seeing this situation, Shi Xin was the first to get back to the topic.

"Friend Xu, were those people from the Palace of Eternal Life just now? Why did they attack here?"

Upon hearing this, the female cultivator surnamed Xu's face calmed down. She sighed softly and replied, "The power of the Eternal Life Hall is truly formidable. The number of Foundation Establishment cultivators is increasing day by day..."

"At the beginning, there were only two or three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and my Yuehua Mountain lineage was able to hold off the enemy alone. But as time went on, Fellow Daoist Zhou Weiqian of your sect and Fellow Daoist Chu of Wenjian Pavilion were forced to join the battle."

"Those four Eternal Life Hall monks were recruited yesterday. They took advantage of our border battle and headed straight for Yuehua Mountain Gate. In a hurry, Fellow Daoist Chu's sword flashed, helping the three of us escape the predicament. We then caught up and stopped them."

"But after such a fight, we could only hold on, hoping that Senior Xuanyu from the mountain gate would notice us and come to support us. Who would have thought that you fellow Taoists would show up instead? We are so lucky..."

The female cultivator surnamed Xu sighed repeatedly, a deep sense of war-weariness emerging in the depths of her eyes, but there was nothing she could do.

Chen Mu and the others were also worried. When two countries were at war, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could die if they weren't careful, let alone those Qi Condensation disciples...

Niu Dali scratched his head and asked doubtfully, "In this critical moment, where is your sect's Jindan Senior?"

As soon as these words were spoken, before the female cultivator surnamed Xu could respond, Shi Xin beside her replied speechlessly, "The Jindan cultivators from the Eternal Life Hall are eyeing them covetously. How can Senior Yuehua Mountain reveal his weakness so easily?"

"If the Jindan Zhenren really takes action, then our Zhao State will be at a critical moment of life and death." Lin Shuyun also sighed lightly.

The female cultivator surnamed Xu suppressed her mixed feelings, frowned slightly, and changed her tone, saying, "There's a spiritual vein on the border, owned by the Liu family, a small immortal cultivation clan affiliated with Yuehua Mountain. Now, five foundation-building cultivators are attacking them, and these four have escaped. Fellow Daoist Chu and the others may not be able to hold out for much longer, so we need to go and support them quickly!"

Hearing this, Niu Dali on the side suddenly paused and said immediately: "I'll go!" God has mercy on him. He hasn't had a good stretch since he entered the foundation-building stage, and today happened to be the opportunity.

Shi Xin nodded and said, "Friend Xu, the four of us will go and provide support. The three of you should quickly return to the mountain gate to prevent the four people from sneaking back!"

"In that case, on behalf of the Yuehua Mountain lineage, we would like to thank all of you fellow Taoists." The female cultivator surnamed Xu was not polite. After bowing and telling the specific location, they all turned around and left.

After the three figures gradually disappeared, Shi Xin turned the spirit boat around, soared into the sky in the blink of an eye, and flew towards the border area.

……

The spirit boat was fast, and in less than a day it could feel the rich fluctuations of spiritual energy ahead.

"The Liu clan should be located ahead. The spiritual vein is indeed good..." Lin Shuyun nodded calmly.

Chen Mu and the other two's eyes moved, and when their spiritual sense was expanded, they immediately discovered that on a barren mountain, there were several Foundation Establishment cultivators fighting in a group, and there were also many Qi Condensation cultivators surrounding the barren mountain, shouting loudly, and magical power fluctuations of various colors appeared one after another.

"Why didn't Junior-Martial Brother Zhou and the others stick to the Liu Clan's formation, but instead came here to fight?"

Because of the powerful fluctuations influencing each other, Lin Shuyun couldn't see the situation of the battle for a moment, so he was a little confused.

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he knew that Lin Shuyun's spiritual awareness was probably not as good as his, which was why he couldn't see the situation on the field clearly.

The five foundation-building monks of the Hall of Eternal Life were divided into three groups. One of them faced Zhou Weiqian of Shuiyunjian, one faced the old man in brocade robe, who should be the ancestor of the Liu family, and the remaining three joined forces to besiege Chu Li of Wenjian Pavilion.

Although the situation seemed urgent, Chu Li did not face much pressure in dealing with it, so for a while Zhao State actually had some advantages.

"You shameless little thief, come after Grandpa Niu!"

As the distance got closer, several people's spiritual senses could clearly see the chaos in the field. In an instant, Niu Dali felt his blood boiling. He roared and rushed down!

"Why haven't Tianhu and the others come back yet?" The black-robed monk with a silver mask on his face waved the Yama Banner in his hand, and immediately three Yama phantoms rushed towards Niu Dali.

Seeing this, another black-robed monk said urgently, "The enemy is strong. We should retreat first and wait for the Lord's decision!"

"it is good!"

The other three people had an idea and were the first to break away from the entanglement of Chu Li's sword light. Then they rolled up the Yama Banner in their hands and each of them turned into a black smoke and quickly spread away.

However, the consciousness of one of them suddenly trembled for some reason when it passed by Chen Mu and his group, as if he was shocked. But in that instant, he withdrew it and could no longer feel it...

Chen Mu looked up as if he sensed something, only to see billowing black smoke passing across the sky in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't help but frown.

"This Eternal Life Hall monk's escape technique is truly bizarre. How can it be so swift..."

When Niu Dali saw that three people had escaped, he became furious and in the blink of an eye he turned into a giant man of eight feet tall and roared suddenly!
The next moment, the silver-faced monk who was about to perform the escape technique opened his mouth and spat out a ball of blood, and the spiritual fluctuations on his body were actually disrupted!

"Leave me alone!"

The eight-foot-tall body was like a giant black bull, rushing straight towards the silver-faced monk.

The last black-robed monk took advantage of this opportunity and quickly released a black light to force the Liu ancestor back. He then used his escape technique and disappeared in a moment...
