Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 292 The world is impermanent
A wisp of black smoke streaked across the sky, and the chaos gradually subsided.

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at the bronze-faced monk for a long time without saying a word.

For some reason, he always felt that the bronze-faced monk's figure and aura were somewhat familiar...

This was easy to guess. After all, he had only seen a few monks from the Hall of Eternal Life at the Mu Country Auction before, and the female monk who claimed to be the Flower Spirit Envoy was even killed by him.

Then there was the auctioneer who wanted to invite him into a trap.

"Could it be him?"

Chen Mu frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head to suppress the mixed thoughts in his mind.

Whether it is or not, it has little to do with him for now, and he can find out in the future...

"The Liu family's protective formation is riddled with holes and is no longer useful, and fellow Daoist Liu Tianbao has even perished... Without the assistance of fellow Daoists, the Liu family's spiritual vein... may be lost."

Shi Xin put away his magic and his body returned to its normal size. He looked around and walked closer to Liu Tianbao's remains, sighing and saying.

Lin Shuyun also nodded and said, "If it's just the evil cultivators from the Hall of Eternal Life, it's not a big deal. But if a few more cultivators from major sects like the ones just now come, it's hard to say with the strength of our Zhao State alone..."

"A cultivator from a major sect... which major sect is it? How dare they be so arrogant, secretly aiding the evil sect and even draining the power of their spiritual veins? Aren't they afraid of attracting a crusade from other sects?"

Zhou Weiqian frowned and asked closer, because he had heard about the scene that Chen Mu and the others saw in the Wu family's spiritual vein.

Chen Mu asked, "Uncle Shi, can you tell which inheritance those people used just now?"

He and Niu Dali and others had only recently established their foundations, and they didn't know much about the inheritance of the surrounding major sects. However, Shi Xin was different. He had been establishing his foundation for decades, and perhaps he could see the inheritance of the few people just now.

Unfortunately, Shi Xin pondered over it for a moment, then shook his head as his eyes flickered. "Let's not talk about the various spiritual weapons for now. The Du cultivator's Heavenly Fire Mysterious Body is incredibly mysterious, but I've never heard of any other Taoist sect possessing such magical powers..."

Chen Mu nodded when he heard this. Shi Xin was good at practicing the magic of the power lineage. Even he could not tell where the Heavenly Fire Mysterious Body came from. He estimated that his clan was very far away from the State of Zhao.

……

While everyone was talking, Chu Li put away the hilt of the Purple Magic Sword that had fallen to the side and said with a complicated expression:
"My fellow Daoists, my uncle Zong Lin's sword has inexplicably appeared here. I'm afraid the Ghost Leaf Sect's spiritual vein has also been attacked by the Palace of Eternal Life..."

He didn't continue talking, because everyone present could more or less guess the fate of his fellow comrades stationed at Guiye Gate.

Even his sword was taken away, I'm afraid he's in great danger...

Shi Xin sighed softly and said, "I don't know what the situation is like at Guiyemen. I need to go check it out before making a decision."

It would be fine if they were not breached, but if something unbearable happened, even they would be left isolated and helpless.

Thinking of this, he changed his tone and continued, "Junior Sister Lin, you take the others and wait here first. Fellow Daoist Chu and I will go investigate. We can discuss other matters later!"

Chen Mu's heart moved when he heard this, and he said, "Uncle Shi, let Fellow Daoist Chu and I go. The formation here is incomplete. If there are more invaders, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist them with just the few of us. You'll need to stay here to keep the situation under control."

Their side was passive, and it was really hard to tell when the Palace of Eternal Life would attack. So Shi Xin nodded and said, "Be careful. Those monks from the major sects just now used mysterious methods to hide. Don't be careless."

Niu Dali heard this and shouted, "I'll go too. I'm worried about those two!"

Shi Xin ignored him and waved his hand to signal Chen Mu and the others to leave.

Chen Mu laughed inwardly, then soared into the sky with his flying light...

Half a day later, two beams of light landed beside a pitch-black stream.

In front of us is an endless stretch of ancient trees with ghost leaves, which makes the place look eerie and quiet.

The reason why it was named Ghost Leaf Sect was because of this patch of ancient Ghost Leaf trees. The leaves had various strange shapes. If ground into powder, it would become a low-level spiritual material called Ghost Mist Powder, which could replace cinnabar for drawing talismans and had other miraculous effects...

The two did not stop, but strode forward following the guidance of the spiritual sense.

After a short while, the two of them arrived at the mountain gate of Guiye Sect.

The result was just as they had expected... The Ghost Leaf Mountain Sect, which used to be full of spiritual energy, was now completely drained of its spiritual energy. Blood was flowing everywhere, and corpses were scattered all over the ground. It looked like a purgatory, dead and lifeless.

Chu Li said nothing, took a few quick steps and came to a corpse. After confirming the identity, his face became extremely ugly.

He was wearing a white robe, now covered in blood and mud, with only some sword marks faintly shining, indicating his identity.

It turned out to be Lin Yuanqing, who had a history of fighting with Chen Mu.

Chen Mu walked forward slowly, feeling also sighing in his heart.

They had a duel not long ago, and he also invited him to drink and chat, saying that he wanted to take out the monkey wine that he had collected for a long time.

But now, everything has vanished in the blink of an eye, and everything has come to an end. It can be said that the world is impermanent...

"Fellow Daoist Lin must have died at the hands of the cultivator surnamed Zhong."

When Chen Mu explored with his spiritual sense, he did not find any injuries on Lin Yuanqing's body. Instead, there were three horrific scars in his sea of ​​consciousness, each deeper than the last.

The Three Talents Spirit Sword cut directly into the soul. He guessed that Lin Yuanqing was careless and was killed by the cultivator named Zhong in one fell swoop.

Chu Li nodded, and after regaining her composure, she waved her hand and collected Lin Yuanqing's body.

Seeing this, Chen Mu expanded his spiritual sense and looked around, saying, "I didn't see the other two fellow Taoists from your sect. Maybe they escaped."

"I hope so."

The two of them started walking again and headed straight for the center of the mountain gate.

After a moment, the familiar scene appeared in front of Chen Mu again.

A strange red flower swayed continuously, constantly sucking the energy from the spiritual vein here.

Chu Li's brows tightened. Although she had heard Chen Mu talk about it, this was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.

"The Eternal Life Hall launched a massive attack just to obtain the spiritual veins of another country?"

Chen Mu replied, "Not entirely. Perhaps it's the request of the forces behind him. We need to report this to the master as soon as possible."

After saying that, he swung out a sword light, cutting off all the red flowers here.

"Yeah." Chu Li nodded in agreement.

After the two of them packed up, they immediately jumped up and left in an instant...

In a blink of an eye, another half day passed. After Chen Mu and the others returned to the Liu family's spiritual vein, they found that Yuehua Mountain had sent someone to deliver a message.

"Friend He?"

Chen Mu raised one eyebrow and stepped forward to salute.

The person who came was He Ling'er, the female cultivator with extraordinary spiritual roots who had established her foundation.

Seeing this, He Ling'er curled her lips and forced a smile in return: "Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Chu..."

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat. What was that expression? Even if two of the three spiritual veins were lost, it shouldn't be this serious. After all, this was still a border area.

He quickly looked at Shi Xin and others beside him, but found that they also had sad faces.

"Junior Brother Chen, the disaster that befell the State of Zhao this time was far beyond our expectations..." Shi Xin shook his head and sighed.

Chen Mu didn't show it on his face and asked, "Where did you get it from?"
