Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 654 Deliberate Humiliation
The sound of the rustling wind in the mountains and forests is like singing.

Above the sky, real water washed away all the impurities, making the originally dark and depressing atmosphere suddenly clear.

When the monks of various sects were thinking about their own things, the dark clouds dispersed and the sky became clear, which made them all look up and wait.

At this moment, the sun was hanging high in the sky, and a river was flowing across the sky, piercing into the void from east to west. Golden light was rippling, and shining with thousands of clear and spiritual points.

Among them, a young Taoist with a bright and clear mind stood in the sky. He waved his sleeves, and the water light gradually subsided.

The thousands of cultivators below were all motionless, staring intently, with all sorts of thoughts in their minds.

Zhao Tianhe's face was already grimacing, a complex mixture of resentment, anger, and fear all mixing together. He lost his composure and shouted, "Impossible! My Crimson Skyfire is unstoppable. What kind of sorcery did you use to avoid it?"

He knew his own desperate methods best. With the strength of Chen Mu's water magic that he was using to compete with him, it was impossible for him to withstand it unscathed.

And he didn't sense any other Taoist rhyme fluctuations, which showed that Chen Mu didn't use any new Taoist magic, and didn't have the rhyme of spiritual treasures. Taking all these factors into consideration, it was no wonder that he would use evil magic to shout it out.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea and immediately stood up and shouted to the late-stage cultivators of each sect:

"This person possesses a wicked skill and is most likely a demon. How can we allow such a person to participate in the incense-burning dispute? Fellow practitioners, please quickly apprehend this person and identify him!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Although they didn't know how Chen Mu had taken it, they knew it had nothing to do with the devil. Zhao Tianhe's words were clearly malicious, trying to force a accusation on him...

Zhao Tianhe waited for a moment, but there was no response. He felt a chill in his heart and dared not say another word. He quickly turned around and rushed to his senior brother, hoping that his senior brother could help him.

Taoist Tunyun was the first to react. He used his Taoist magic to force Sun Zhiyan to retreat and was about to run towards Zhao Tianhe. However, just as he was about to move, Sun Zhiyan stopped him despite his injuries.

In the later stages of the battle, a single negligence could lead to defeat, so he could only curse inwardly and place his hopes on Chixi.

"Junior brother, quickly rescue Tianhe!"

Chixi looked up and saw Chen Mu pressing forward under the blazing sun, while his fellow apprentice was fleeing in a panic like a stray dog. He was horrified for a moment.

What’s going on? A Taoist disciple of the same lineage... was defeated by a young cultivator from Beiyuan in an instant?
"waste!"

He snorted coldly, feeling extremely dissatisfied, but considering the friendship between fellow disciples, he couldn't stand by and watch him die.

"I didn't expect you to cause some trouble..."

He looked at Chen Mu under the dome, smiled coldly, and picked up the blue gourd with red stripes tied around his waist.

How could Taoist Tianxing let him have his way? He muttered a curse and immediately swung the whisk in his hand.

The next moment, a dark blue dragon appeared out of thin air in the sky, carrying the Yuan Gang wind energy and rushing forward. Looking at its posture, it seemed as if it wanted to swallow Chixi in one gulp.

"Little tricks."

Chixi sneered and slapped the gourd lightly, and a stream of water gushed out.

It’s strange to say, although it is clearly a stream of water, its Taoist rhythm is full of fire.

The blue dragon came with the wind, and there was a sound of fire exploding. A ray of light flashed in the water, so dazzling that it ignited the whole body of the blue dragon in the blink of an eye.

After Chixi shot out from the water, he turned around and rushed towards Zhao Tianhe without even looking, as if he was extremely confident in the means he had released.

And the result was just as he expected. Within three breaths, the blue dragon had dissipated and turned into a breeze between heaven and earth.

Taoist Tianxing groaned and could only take a deep breath to calm himself down.

Zhao Tianhe, who was trying to escape, saw all of this and was overjoyed.

"With Senior Brother Chixi here, what good is it even if you can defeat me?" With this sudden surge of courage, he looked back and saw the water blooming, already approaching a hundred feet behind him. Suddenly, his soul was terrified and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Senior Brother, save me!"

Chixi frowned, feeling that Zhao Tianhe had brought shame upon his master, so he scolded him, "Shut your mouth!"

While scolding, he kept moving. He first stretched out his hand and slapped the gourd, and a three-inch flying knife flew out of it and hit Chen Mu in the air, trying to force him to stop.

He himself flashed with light and in an instant he was close to Zhao Tianhe within a hundred feet.

Eighty feet, fifty feet, thirty feet...

Taoist Chixi walked towards the water-colored light, their target being the Taoist figure in the center.

Looking at the Taoist Chixi who was so close to him, Zhao Tianhe finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave up the idea of ​​abandoning his physical body and escaping with only his Nascent Soul under pressure.

But just when he was relaxing, he suddenly found that his senior brother's face changed, and then he mobilized his magic power to attack him from behind.

He felt something was wrong and wanted to run away, but the rumbling sound that was getting closer and closer distracted him.

He slowly turned his head and looked back, his eyes reflecting a hint of water...

"division……"

The shouting stopped abruptly, and along with it, he himself...

"Crash..."

The water bloom slowly receded, returning the clear blue sky to its former glory.

Taoist Chixi stopped moving abruptly, his expression suddenly darkening.

"One step too late..."

But at the last moment, the water-colored light suddenly accelerated and swallowed Zhao Tianhe before him. Even the three-inch knife he released was fixed in the air by a gust of wind and could not be called back.

At this point, how could he not know that Chen Mu had the ability to kill the fleeing Zhao Tianhe in an instant, and the reason he allowed him to escape here was just to... humiliate him...

"Oh!"

In the Cloud Palace, True Lord Chixiao slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily, "Pingyang, how dare you, Beiyuan, kill one of my Zhongzhou disciples? Is this how you come to ask for incense?"

"beg?"

True Lord Pingyang snorted coldly, not losing his composure at the rebuke of True Lord Chixiao. He simply stroked his sleeves and said aloud, "I want you to know that the last time we came here, we were asking for incense..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. Those who had originally wanted to stand up and say a few words in defense of Piaomiao Taoist Temple also gave up the idea.

Just as Pingyang said, their last visit was to ask for incense, but they were harassed by Piaomiao Taoist Temple because of this, and even lost a late Nascent Soul cultivator...

"it is good!"

At this moment, Bai Jin, the Demon Ancestor of Southern Xinjiang, suddenly broke the silence. His five-foot-tall figure slowly stood up and laughed loudly:
"Brother Pingyang, what you said is very insightful. This time, we have come together from all four continents not to ask for incense, but to participate in the incense-burning competition like all of you here!

Since there's a 'fight' involved, casualties are inevitable. Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Beiyuan hasn't resorted to any strange tactics. True Lord Chixiao's pressing questions like this is truly inappropriate."

Upon hearing this, True Lord Ximo's eyes flickered, and he stood up, bowed with his hands behind his back, and said, "Brother Bai, what you said makes sense..."
