Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 37: The Snipe and the Clam Fight (Please recommend and collect)
The sky was bright and it was just afternoon.

As the female cultivator of the Beast Taming Sect was tied up in mid-air and flew to the side of the valley, the other disciples of the Beast Taming Sect shouted loudly, exerted their magic power, and did not dare to stop as they chased after the female cultivator.

For a moment, the six of them charged forward like well-trained soldiers, but then they suddenly stopped...

But in front of them, the original huge rock suddenly disappeared, and then five monks gathered together appeared out of thin air.

In an instant, everyone's magic power was mobilized and they were ready to go, and the situation on the field suddenly became tense.

Looking at their figures, Chen Mu opened his eyes and shrank slightly, as if he was dazzled by the uniform golden robes they wore.

Then he analyzed the cultivation levels of everyone on the field that were exposed due to the stimulation of magic power.

"Each side has one person at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, two at the seventh level, and the rest are at the sixth level..."

After a moment of stalemate, neither side dared to act rashly.

Among the five people who suddenly appeared, a shorter, middle-aged male cultivator reached out and called back a scroll hanging in the air. He said smugly, "Brothers, how do you think of my Bluestone Map? Did I boast? Junior Brother Yu still doesn't believe me and doesn't want to take the risk... If I hadn't taken the risk, how could I have achieved such a great harvest?"

When these words were spoken, a simple-looking young man snorted coldly, but did not refute.

"Okay, Junior Brother Liu, there's no need to say any more. Once this is done, I won't treat you unfairly..." The handsome cultivator standing in the middle, who was vaguely the leader, promised, and then casually threw the bound female cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect to Junior Brother Yu behind him.

The female cultivator was firmly pinned down by the cultivator named Yu and could not break free, so she could only glare at him.

The short male cultivator's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this, and he couldn't suppress a smile. He bowed and complimented, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xu... Senior Brother, you will surely succeed this time. After you kill that precious toad and obtain the elixir, after returning to the sect, Senior Sister Liu will throw herself into her arms. A bright future awaits you..."

The handsome monk also showed a look of joy: "It's too early to say... However, I didn't expect this trip to go so smoothly. It seems that destiny is on my side..."

Chen Mu was busy trying his best to hide his presence. Hearing this, his heart moved and he looked at the five people's golden robes again, "They are really disciples of the Golden Light Valley..."

Just a few words, and it was over in a flash.

Looking at the people from the Beast Taming Sect again, he found that they had calmed down. The young man from the Beast Taming Sect had a steady look in his eyes and was no longer panicked. It was obvious that he had recognized the identities of the other party and guessed that they would not dare to kill them, so he made a sarcastic remark.

"I suspected those bandits were hiding, but they turned out to be disciples of the Golden Light Valley... As one of the six great sects, have you learned these despicable tactics?"

"You're joking, sir… With this unmanned monster before us, we naturally have to resort to some minor tricks."

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense and let our junior sister go immediately. I can still pretend nothing happened! Otherwise..." The young man snorted coldly and shouted loudly.

"Senior Brother..." The other disciples looked at the young man worriedly, but were interrupted by him.

"Who gave you the courage to be so arrogant? Don't think that we in the Golden Light Valley don't know. When we were fighting with Shuiyunjian, your Beast Taming Sect seemed to be neutral and did not help either side, but in fact you helped them a lot in private. Even the spirit beasts that their disciples rode were given by you... Snakes and rats are of the same nest, and they are in cahoots with each other!" The taciturn cultivator named Yu shouted.

The young man from the Beast Tamer Sect did not get angry upon hearing this. Instead, he smiled and said softly, "Oh? It seems your sect is ready to fight against the two sects..."

The handsome monk's expression changed, and he quickly turned around and scolded, "Junior Brother Yu, why are you talking nonsense?"

The monk surnamed Yu looked indignant, bowed, turned his head and said nothing.

The handsome monk then turned around and sneered, "Why do you have to escalate this to a sectarian dispute? Besides, we're just peers fighting each other. Even if we lose a few lives due to a momentary mistake, I don't believe your sect would go to war over it..."

"Of course, ordinary disciples wouldn't... But what about the only daughter of our sect leader? Think about it carefully..."

The handsome monk's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but his eyes flickered suddenly and he looked at the tied-up female monk who was glaring at him.

"You say it is? But I don't believe it!"

"Take a look at our junior sister's storage bag."

The five people from Jin Guanggu all looked at the storage bag on the female cultivator's waist.

It has an exquisite shape and has the word "She" embroidered in gold thread. The shape of the word is ordinary but full of charm.

Except for the handsome monk, the other four people's expressions suddenly changed, and they looked at the handsome monk and shook their heads slightly.

This is because the leader of the Beast Taming Sect is named She Chengyue!
Chen Mu was far away and couldn't see clearly, but he got the answer from their reactions and was secretly shocked...

The handsome monk's eyes flickered, and it was obvious that he was extremely conflicted.

After a moment, a smile spread across his face, and he looked towards the Beastmasters, pretending to speak out to ease the tension. Seeing this, the Beastmasters breathed a sigh of relief. Although they outnumbered them, they had already expended considerable mana dissipating the toad's energy. If a fight really came to pass, victory wasn't certain...

The next moment, before the handsome monk could speak, everyone heard the sound of a sword echoing through the valley.

Everyone looked up into the air following the sound, and saw a golden flying sword slowly flying towards the female cultivator.

"You dare!"

The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect summoned their spirit beasts and rushed towards the group from Jin Guanggu.

Seeing many spirit beasts attacking them, a hint of success flashed in the eyes of the handsome cultivator. He immediately made an idea, and the flying sword that was originally flying towards the female cultivator turned around in the blink of an eye, and in a flash, it slashed towards the dying Cold Crystal Snow Sun Toad lying on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the flying sword pierced the toad's back, bringing up a column of blood like a gushing well.

The toad screamed in pain and looked up to the sky. Then, as if it had a last burst of energy, it mustered up its last bit of strength and jumped into a river not far away. In an instant, the place where it entered the water was stained red with blood.

The handsome monk's face lit up with joy, and he concluded in his heart that the toad would not live long.

He immediately turned around and ordered the four people from the Golden Light Valley who were fighting spirit beasts or cultivators: "My fellow apprentice brothers, please hold off for a moment. I will retrieve the demon pill and then take them down... Remember, the others can be defeated, but that female cultivator... cannot!"

The others, busy dealing with the spirit beast, nodded. The shorter cultivator still had the energy to reply, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. The female cultivator is bound by the golden rope and won't be able to break free for a while... A heaven-sent opportunity is right before us. Senior Brother, go quickly."

The handsome monk nodded upon hearing this, and immediately chased towards the river. Then, when he was about to jump into the water to chase, he was forced back several steps by a monkey that fell from the sky.

The handsome monk looked at the side of the monkey with an ugly expression. It was the young man from the Beast Taming Sect who had arrived later.

"If you want to go... you have to get past me first!"

He immediately ordered the monkey to run towards the handsome monk, while he cast a spell to restrain it from behind.

The handsome monk's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and he said coldly, "You must force me to finish you off..."

He reached out and called back the golden flying sword, and started fighting with the monkey.

In a blink of an eye, the small valley was filled with beasts roaring and swords wailing, and a chaotic battle ensued...

……

Chen Mu stared at the river flowing not far ahead, his face showing confusion and he remained silent.

Reason told him that if he wanted to be safe, he should leave immediately and pretend he didn't see it.

But he just couldn't move...

In a trance, Chen Mu suddenly remembered what the short monk in Jin Guang Valley said, "Without taking risks, how can such a harvest be achieved..."

"Strive! The opportunity is right in front of you. If you don't have the courage to seize it, how can you talk about the future path?"

Having made up his mind, Chen Mu no longer hesitated. After concealing his presence, he rushed out in an instant, using the fastest speed possible to conceal his presence. His magic power flowed through his feet, and he instantly plunged into the river, splashing a little water. The sound was as small as a pebble falling into the water...

Once he entered the water, he no longer dared to use his magic power and could only rely on the strength of his body to swim.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Mu arrived at the scene where the handsome cultivator and the young man from the Beast Taming Sect were fighting. Glancing upward, he could see the handsome cultivator becoming increasingly ferocious. The ape was covered in blood. The young man from the Beast Taming Sect was also in trouble, his face pale, and it was obvious that he was running low on mana...

Fortunately, the two were busy fighting and did not notice Chen Mu in the water.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Chen Mu's heart was beating wildly like never before. He was afraid that the young man from the Beast Taming Sect could not hold on for much longer.

But even though he was extremely anxious, his body remained calm as he swam forward, like a spirit turtle swimming... This truly demonstrated the spirit turtle concealment technique he had practiced...

After a while, Chen Mu touched the stone wall in front of him and there was no way forward.

He had an idea and dived down, and sure enough, he found traces of blood in the water.

As he dived deeper, the river water became increasingly icy cold, and anxiety surged in his heart like a tide...
