Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 795 Asking for help
A breeze suddenly arose, blowing away the remaining clouds.

Chen Mu looked into the distance at the sky, and a ripple flashed in his originally calm eyes.

"A curse of changing places?"

He murmured in his heart, feeling that there was a reason why the Demonic Sky Alliance could expand so quickly to the entire Taiyi Xuanling Realm.

Not only do they have a profound foundation, they can also easily use special spells that even the major Xuanmen sects do not have, and their disciples are full of resentment and cruel acts of betrayal are everywhere.

Although such an alliance has many shortcomings, its momentum is so strong that how can it not make people afraid?
Chen Mu was moved and lost the desire to chase Xi Yuanming who had disappeared without a trace.

He originally wanted to use the short and fat old Taoist to spread the news of his return, but after being instigated by Xi Yuanming, although he had not yet found out any real information, he became stupid and foolish, and then disappeared along with the island.

But since Xi Yuanming is so "competitive", let him take on this task...

Chen Mu looked calm, and lowered his eyes to look at the scholar named Wang, whose face was as pale as death.

Perhaps knowing he was doomed, the scholar stopped struggling, but still unwilling to give up, his eyes swirling around as he tentatively said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I was completely tricked into coming here by that despicable villain. I really don't know your relationship with Huanyue Palace!"

"Now that the culprit has escaped, if Fellow Daoist Chen is angry about it, I am willing to vent your anger on your behalf."

"As long as you spare my life and let me return to the alliance, I will make Xi Yuanming wish he were dead!"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, what do you think..."

Chen Mu smiled faintly and said, "If I get angry and want to kill that person to vent my anger, why would I need you to do it for me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, inspiration surged throughout his body. He slightly extended his right hand and pressed it down lightly.

In an instant, the sky and the earth suddenly darkened, and then a giant hand that was a thousand feet long broke through the clouds and fell down with a bang, covering the sky and the sun.

The soul of the scholar surnamed Wang was terrified, and he desperately used the art of escape, splitting into nearly a hundred blood shadows and fleeing in all directions.

His escape technique is quite unique and has been famous in the alliance for a long time. Each blood shadow that is separated contains part of his mind. As long as one of them escapes from the predicament, he can use that part of his mind to push himself again. It is an excellent way to avoid disaster.

In the past, he had used this escape technique to escape danger many times, and even the Buddhist methods of the Western Desert were powerless against him.

Unfortunately, this time he met Chen Mu...

More than a hundred blood shadows flew up to the sky and into the sea, but they could never escape the range of the giant hand that was a thousand feet in size.

It's like an ordinary fish or beast that can never swim out of this ocean in its lifetime.

"boom!"

The thousand-foot giant hand truly descended upon the scholar surnamed Wang, and not even his Nascent Soul could escape. Everything was annihilated into nothingness...

……

Huanyue Palace, Shenmeng Hall.

In the empty hall, there were several figures sitting or standing here and there, all of them were the people in power in the palace today.

Liu Tingnan sat at the top seat, her usually gentle face now tinged with sorrow.

She looked around, pausing especially at Taoist Chonggu, and said, "Gentlemen, I can no longer hide this from you. The various resources and spiritual objects in the mountain gate have indeed been exhausted. If we can't find a way out..."

"We are still relatively well off, but many of the disciples in the sect will inevitably lose their foundation and lack the basic skills within ten years, making it difficult for them to carry the banner of the sect in the future."

"However, the demon cultivators are watching us closely. There is a demonic Yuanying no less powerful than Uncle Chonggu guarding us at all times. If we want to go out and search for spiritual objects, we will most likely be controlled by them."

"I called you here today to discuss this matter and see if there is a better solution..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall became even quieter.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally they all sighed in unison.

That’s right, even the Palace Master has no solution, so what good ideas can they, the Jindan Zhenren, come up with?

But looking at Liu Tingnan's worried look, they could only pretend to think for a while, and then put forward a few clichéd methods.

"In my opinion, we can temporarily suspend our cultivation and leave the palace's resources to the disciples. If we continue like this, we may be able to hold on for more than ten years."

"But if we follow Palace Master Yin's advice, what good will it do even if we persist for more than ten years? By then, the demonic calamity might have already descended, and the pressure on us would be even greater."

"In my opinion, we should gather all the remaining resources in the sect and provide them to Palace Master Han. If he can achieve the Nascent Soul stage, and then work together with Patriarch Chonggu and the Palace Master, wouldn't the sect's crisis be easily resolved?"

"I'm asking my disciples to suffer in order to help them overcome their predicament. As for the infamy during this time, I will bear it all by myself!"

"It's easy for you to say, but how can it be so easy to reach the Nascent Soul stage? If Palace Master Han fails to succeed, the palace will be in even greater trouble."

"This won't work, and that won't work either. Master Zhu, tell me what you think you can do!"

"..."

Everyone expressed their opinions, and they all felt that the other party's method had too many disadvantages, so they couldn't help but argue.

In the end, everyone became more and more excited as they talked. The manic emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally released. Their faces turned red and they argued fiercely. If the two Yuanyings were not by their side, they would have exchanged a few moves to vent their emotions.

It was only when Taoist Chonggu looked at the chaos below and coughed lightly that the quarrel stopped.

He sighed inwardly and looked at Han Kong: "Nephew Han..."

He was about to speak but stopped himself, but Han Kong's expression had already straightened up. He stood up and bowed to him, saying, "Disciple is here."

After sixty years, he pushed his cultivation to the Golden Elixir perfection, but his aptitude was really limited, coupled with the lack of resources, so he was unable to make progress and was stuck in the perfection realm for nearly twenty years.

But even if he didn't succeed, after nearly twenty years of trying, he still showed a unique aura and was very conspicuous among his fellow disciples.

Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have come up with the idea of ​​gathering resources and trying to get him in to resolve the crisis...

Taoist Chonggu gave him a deep look, then smiled and asked, "I heard that Junior Brother Han and Beiyuan Fushan Changhe have been in contact in recent years and their friendship is very good. I wonder if this is true?"

Han Kong's heart moved, and he knew who Chonggu was talking about.

He nodded and said frankly, "I am a disciple of Huanyue Palace and also of the Lingyuan lineage. In recent years, Senior Brothers Yu and Meng have often come to the East China Sea, so naturally I have to accompany them and entertain them."

"The Lingyuan lineage..." Taoist Chonggu seemed to sigh a little, shook his head and sighed, then nodded and said: "You did the right thing in this matter. The friendship between the same lineage cannot be broken..."

He paused, carefully choosing his words before continuing, "But right now, my Huanyue Palace is in trouble. Junior-Martial Brother Han, could you please send a message to them and let them know so... Fushan Changhe can lend a hand?"

"After all, my Huanyue Palace is different from other sects. We have a relationship with fellow Daoist Lingyuan. As long as we make a solemn promise, I believe Fushan Changhe will also put aside the monk's face and come to help us, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of all the cultivators in the hall lit up and they looked at Han Kong almost at the same time.

Han Kong frowned secretly and replied truthfully: "The demonic cultivators' rebellion is not limited to the East China Sea. The North Plains is also under pressure."

"Uncle Master, it's not that I don't distinguish between close and distant disciples, but if I want Fushan Changhe to travel a million miles to save the palace, I'm afraid my status as a nominal disciple alone is not enough to make this happen."

Taoist Chonggu refused to accept this explanation and shook his head, saying, "You are overthinking it, my nephew. Fushan Changhe is different from my Huanyue Palace. They have the True Lord Huashen in charge of Beiyuan. The Demonic Heaven Alliance will not be too radical or even reckless."

"But above our East China Sea, the Dragon Palace is inactive, and the True Lord of Transformation in the human race is acting on his own. The situation is completely disorganized, which is why we have today's disaster."

"And as far as I know, Fushan Changhe is now full of talented people. There are at most five or six Nascent Soul cultivators. As long as my nephew sends a letter, they will definitely agree to this matter."

Perhaps worried that Han Kong would still refuse, he also gave an additional "reminder": "As my nephew said, you are a disciple of Huanyue Palace and also a disciple of Lingyuan lineage. Now that the master is in trouble, I hope you can put the overall situation first..."

Now that things have come to this, what else can Han Kong do?

However, he still looked hesitant. He felt that he had not made any contribution to Fushan Changhe. If he sent a direct message asking for help, it would be fine if Beiyuan politely declined. But if he really came to help, it would cost him the friendship of his mentor...

The hall fell silent for a moment, and all the cultivators were waiting for Han Kong's reaction.

Seeing him in such a dilemma, his Taoist companion Li Ying could no longer bear it and muttered with a frown:
"Master Chonggu is speaking so lightly now. The Palace Master clearly reminded Master Chonggu many times back then, wanting him to prepare in advance and not invest his energy and resources in the Seven Seas. But Master Chonggu refused to listen and just blindly befriended the Seven Seas."

"Now, in the end, the seven seas are gradually disintegrating. Not only can they not help us, but many of our previous resources are gone and will never come back. And you have transferred all the pressure to Brother Han..."

Before she finished speaking, Taoist Chonggu's face had already turned ashen and looked extremely ugly.

As for the others, they didn't even dare to breathe, and looked at Li Ying in surprise.

They knew Junior Sister Li quite well. She was always gentle and considerate, but they didn't expect that she could be so "unbridled" for her Taoist partner.

Han Kong quickly stopped her and then bowed, "Uncle Master..."

What surprised everyone was that Taoist Chonggu did not get furious. Instead, he took a deep breath and his expression gradually calmed down.

His eyes flickered, and he finally shook his head and sighed, "Junior Brother Li is right. This matter... this matter is my fault. I have wasted a lot of the sect's resources..."

If he had not done this, Huanyue Palace would not have faced the dilemma of resource shortage in just ten years.

Everyone was shocked by his admission of mistake. The resentment that had been hidden deep in their hearts disappeared. Even Li Ying was stunned and could not say the "offensive" words he had originally prepared.

People are so complicated. No matter what mistakes people in high positions make, as long as they can humble themselves and admit their mistakes, people will easily accept them...

Han Kong had the same feeling. After looking around at his fellow disciples, he reached out and patted his fellow Taoist partner's arm, signaling him not to worry.

"Uncle Master, rest assured. I will report this situation to Fushan Changhe..."

The sound was so clear that it spread throughout the hall in an instant.

Everyone was delighted, feeling that the situation had taken a turn for the better.

Taoist Chonggu also nodded repeatedly, his expression extremely complicated for a moment.

Li Ying was still somewhat puzzled, and whispered, "Brother, didn't you say you didn't want to waste too much of your mentor's affection? Why did you agree to this?"

Han Kong held her hand and explained, "Just as my uncle said, our sect is in trouble now, and I should give an explanation..."

In fact, Yu Chengduan and the other two had discovered the predicament of Huanyue Palace several years ago, and had sent a letter to ask if they needed help. However, he was upset and didn't want to make things difficult for them, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

He shook his head slightly, his mind churning. Thinking of Yu and Meng, and his mentor, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "If my mentor were still alive, how could Huanyue Palace be in this predicament..."

Seeing that this matter had been resolved, Liu Tingnan, who had been silent for a long time, finally smiled and said, "As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. If Fushan Changhe can lend a hand, the entire Huanyue Palace will never forget it for generations to come..."

Everyone immediately bowed in agreement.

Liu Tingnan nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Since that's the case, everyone go down and prepare yourselves. As for Junior Brother Han, if you need anything, please let me know."

"Yes."

The group of practitioners bowed deeply and turned to leave.

But before he actually walked out of the temple, he suddenly heard a deafening noise coming from the distance, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart, and the entire temple shook.

However, the cultivation of the people present was quite good. They stabilized their bodies after taking a deep breath, and then they were surprised and confused, not knowing what was happening outside.

At the head of the hall, Liu Tingnan suddenly stood up and exchanged a glance with Taoist Chonggu, his face solemn.

She could sense that the loud noise just now came from thousands of miles away from the mountain gate, and that was where the demon cultivators were.

The fact that the noise could be heard from such a great distance showed that the person who made this noise was extremely powerful. If the other party was a cultivator of the demonic path, then their Huanyue Palace would be in danger...

Thinking of this, she quickly sent a message to Chonggu, "Uncle Master, should we go out and investigate?"

Taoist Chonggu knew what she was thinking, so he nodded and said, "We should go and take a look. If it's really the work of the demonic cultivators, we need to respond immediately."

But he changed his mind and felt that this trip might be deliberately led out by the demon cultivators. If he acted rashly, he would fall into the trap of the demon cultivators.

It's no wonder he's suspicious; he's really forced by the situation. If anything goes wrong, Huanyue Palace will decline overnight.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely oppressive. Although everyone's bodies were stable, their hearts were in turmoil...

After an unknown amount of time, Taoist Chonggu finally calmed down and said in a deep voice, "You all go and appease the disciples. I will investigate this matter."

Liu Tingnan frowned slightly, as if he had something to say.

But before she could open her mouth, she heard a clear voice from outside the mountain gate: "Where is Palace Master Liu? Chen Mu from Beiyuan is here to visit."
