Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 284 Tragic Elephant
"But if we continue to defend like this, aren't we being too passive?"

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he frowned slightly and said softly.

Now, the number of foundation-building cultivators on their side is already less than that of the Hall of Eternal Life. Although their strength is not the same, if the numbers are piled up, Chen Mu and the others will not have it too easy.

And now they have to defend two locations separately. If the Eternal Life Hall gathers all its strength to attack one, I'm afraid they will be defeated one by one...

As soon as these words were spoken, Niu Dali also nodded in agreement.

"In my opinion, it would be better to have the Wu family move here and guard the area together... If that doesn't work out, we can move back after this matter is over!"

Upon hearing this, the Liu clan ancestor smiled awkwardly and said sheepishly, "Fellow Daoist Niu, you don't know that there are many stubborn people in our clan who would rather die than flee the clan. At most, they will send a group of clan members away in advance to preserve the inheritance..."

"What kind of foolish idea is this? There are actually people waiting to die?" Niu Dali frowned, looking very confused and annoyed.

"Alright," Shi Xin said suddenly. "Since Yuehua Mountain has made such an arrangement, it must have been carefully considered... How about this? Junior-Junior Brother Zhou and Fellow Daoist Chu are already familiar with this place, so they can stay here. Junior-Junior Sister Lin, would you and Chen Mu go?"

Before he finished speaking, he changed his tone and continued, "It's just that we need to keep communicating with each other, so that if one side is attacked, the other side can provide timely support!"

Upon hearing this, the Liu family patriarch quickly added, "Don't worry about this, Fellow Daoist Shi. Yuehua Mountain just sent over a batch of second-level sound transmission talismans the other day. Although they're only of a low tier, they're enough to carry messages back and forth between Wu and here... Fellow Daoist Lin and the others can take some with them when they leave later."

After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and nearly thirty second-level sound transmission talismans appeared in front of everyone.

Lin Shuyun stepped forward and took ten of them, nodded, and said, "In that case, I will go with Junior Brother Chen."

In fact, if we talk about danger, the Liu family spiritual vein is the most dangerous. After all, it is the first to be affected and is closest to the border of Mu Country.

The Wu clan's territory and the Ghost Leaf Gate where the disciples of the Sword-Asking Pavilion go are all located a little further back. They are just worried about the cunning and lurking people of the Eternal Life Palace, so they take precautions before it happens.

Seeing that the discussion was finalized, Niu Dali on the side started to think about it again. He turned his eyes and said:

"Uncle Lin, why not let me go with Chen Mu? He and I work very well together. Even if the Eternal Life Hall cultivators attack, we can repel them and wait for your support..."

Unfortunately, before Lin Shuyun could even shake his head, Shi Xin took the initiative to say, "Don't try to show off. Just stay by my side."

He knew his disciple very well. If he got excited and was free from restraints, he could chase him straight to the Eternal Life Palace's lair...

"Now that it's settled, the two of us will set off now."

Lin Shuyun turned to Chen Mu, as if asking if there was anything wrong.

Chen Mu's eyes moved, and he subconsciously deduced something. After a moment, he shook his head, and then he followed Lin Shuyun and flew away in an instant.

……

Half an hour later, Chen Mu and the others still had not reached the Wu family spiritual vein that the Liu family ancestor mentioned.

"It's said to be a thousand miles away, but it doesn't clearly say how many thousands of miles away..." Chen Mu complained in his heart.

It was not until another quarter of an hour had passed that their spiritual senses were able to sense some outlines from afar.

"We're here..." Lin Shuyun's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Chen Mu frowned and quickly stretched out his hand to block Lin Shuyun's escape light.

"what happened?"

Chen Mu said nothing, and tried his best to extend his spiritual sense to the front.

He was just a little surprised and suspicious just now, but now that his spiritual sense was covering him, his heart sank suddenly.

The ruins of the palace were charred everywhere, hundreds of corpses were scattered everywhere, and blood flowed with a gurgling sound, like a stream...

"Wu clan land..."

Chen Mu pressed his consciousness forward, but couldn't detect any energy. He guessed the murderer had already fled. "The Wu family has been breached."

"How could that be?" Lin Shuyun's pupils shrank when she heard that. She didn't bother to ask why Chen Mu's consciousness was stronger than hers. She hurriedly controlled the light and flew forward quickly.

When the two of them got closer, the tragic scene before them was even more shocking.

At the front of the clan's territory, an old man with white hair was fixed in place by a long banner. Although he had long since died, he was still glaring, perhaps hoping that this would drive back the invaders.

It's a pity that he didn't get what he wanted...

Chen Mu turned his gaze to a huge ancient tree behind the old man. Hanging from it were several naked female corpses, with blood dripping from their lower bodies...

Lin Shuyun almost gritted his teeth and quickly waved his hand to put the corpse down: "Evil cultivators are all beasts!"

Especially seeing that among the corpses of the women, there was even a young girl who was not even old enough to wear the golden hairpin...

She cursed continuously, wishing she could kill the murderer on the spot.

Seeing this, Chen Mu shook his head and sighed, then walked up to the white-haired old man.

"He should be the ancestor of the Wu family, the old ghost Wu mentioned by Liu Tianbao..." Sensing the traces of foundation building on the corpse, he said slowly.

According to the ancestor of the Liu family, Old Ghost Wu was timid by nature and would often come to him to cry and complain about how difficult it was to be an ancestor. Even after he had succeeded in building a foundation, he did not dare to expand the family's scope for fear of offending others and getting into trouble.

But who would have thought that when the disaster truly arrived, this timid person would be able to stand at the forefront and never retreat until his death...

"Ugh……"

Chen Mu waved his hand to gather the corpses together, and then a red crystal block popped out.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a flame rose up in the wind and wrapped up hundreds of corpses in the blink of an eye.

After a short while, the fire gradually subsided, and countless ashy bone mists sank everywhere, as light as swallows returning to their nests...

After the incident, Chen Mu's face turned pale, and he felt something was wrong in his heart.

"Why is there no spiritual energy here..."

He had just been attracted by the chaos and had not noticed it yet. It was only at this moment that he began to have doubts.

Looking up, I saw gray and black everywhere, with no sign of elegance at all.

Although the Wu family's spiritual vein is not as huge as the Liu family's, it still supports the cultivators of the entire clan. If it is divided into grades, it is at least the lower second grade. It is impossible that there is no spiritual energy at all as it is now!
"Junior Brother Chen, look!"

Suddenly, Lin Shuyun, who also noticed something strange, pointed to one place first.

Chen Mu's eyes flashed and he looked over quickly.

Beyond the layers of ruins, on a huge gray-black rock, there actually grew a swaying blood-red flower!
The flowers are beautiful, but growing here gives people a weird feeling.

Not to mention, at this moment, rays of spiritual light are rising from the ground, flowing along the roots of the flowers into the petals, making the flowers bloom more beautifully.

As the spiritual rays of light rose from the ground, the gray-black color continued to expand, and at the same time, a very slight feeling of desolation and death spread.

"My divine sense can't even detect any trace of this flower..."

Chen Mu was shocked. He had just covered this place with his spiritual sense, but he did not notice that there was such a blood-red flower here.
