Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 839: The Talisman Takes Away All the Pure Spiritual Energy

Try looking eastward from a high point, and you will see the sea of ​​clouds and the sky are low.

The dazzling water light fell halfway, and then disappeared in an instant, revealing a handsome young Taoist priest.

He was wearing a black water-soluble robe, his long hair was tied up high with a white jade hairpin, and his whole body was full of magical power, which was still shaking the clouds when he fell.

"Chen Shangzhen, Chen Shangzhen is here!"

"It's Junior Brother Chen!"

Seeing the figure and appearance of the person coming, the people in the Taoist Palace immediately became excited. Zi Yang was among them, his eyes full of excitement.

His cultivation wasn't particularly outstanding, and he had just nearly been trapped in a swarm of insects. He had thought he had no chance of escaping the disaster, but who would have thought that Junior Brother Chen would suddenly come to the rescue...

In the distant sky, Yan Xinjue frowned as he looked at the situation from afar. Seeing that everyone in the Dao Palace looked excited, their previous dejection had been swept away, he couldn't help but think to himself, "I didn't expect Chen Mu's reputation in the sect to be so high."

He shook his head and sighed, then whispered to the thin man beside him, "Envoy Wu, please take back the spiritual locusts."

The thin man felt a little uneasy. It was obvious that the monks in the Taoist Palace were extremely excited. If he forcibly controlled the spiritual locusts to kill them, the losses would be heavy. After comparing them secretly, he waved his hand to take back the insect beasts.

Seeing the overwhelming and dense swarms of Green Rainbow Soul-Eating Locusts begin to retreat, the people in the Taoist Palace were even more delighted and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Chen Mu was floating in the air, looking into the distance, as if he could see through the formation and fall on the demon cultivator opposite.

However, he did not rush to cause trouble for the other party. Instead, he lowered his eyes to look at where Tianxiao and others were, then he restrained his internal energy and stepped down from the clouds.

Zi Yang immediately stepped forward to greet him, and the others did not dare to neglect him either. They stepped forward to pay their respects and greeted him, saying, "We respectfully welcome Master Chen Shangzhen."

Taoist Tianxiao also stood up and came forward to greet him, politely asking, "Chen Shangzhen, has the Beiyuan Demon Cave been completely suppressed?"

Chen Mu nodded: "One is false and the other is real, both have come to an end."

Taoist Tianxiao couldn't help but feel moved, knowing that Chen Mu had rushed here without even having time to refine his inspiration.

"I feel ashamed that I was chased by the Supreme Master..."

Chen Mu smiled slightly and said, "What are you talking about, Taizhen Palace Master? Since I am the Shangzhen Palace Master, I should come here to help the Dao Palace. Moreover, Master Xuyun has already informed me, so there is no need for Taizhen to blame herself."

After hearing this, Taoist Tianxiao calmed down a little.

This is an extraordinary time, and the magic cave is right in front of us. A few polite words will be enough to complete the formalities.

Chen Mu looked at everyone and asked, "What's the current situation?"

He came in a hurry because he was closest to the magic cave, so he came here decisively, but he had no idea of ​​the overall details.

Taoist Tianxiao sighed and said, "A tall tree attracts the wind. The Demon Heaven Alliance has been planning this for a long time, waiting for us to split up into three demon caves before appearing and fighting us."

"And seeing that victory was imminent, they decisively retreated and set up a formation, intending to trap us here until the rest of the world could come out..."

He briefly explained the reasons, and when he talked about his fellow disciples who had died or were left with only the Nascent Soul stage, his words were filled with sighs.

After hearing this, Chen Mu's eyes kept turning around, but he didn't say much. He just nodded and said, "I understand."

Although his voice was calm, everyone who heard it felt a chill in their hearts.

Zi Yang thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said seriously, "Now that Junior Brother Chen has arrived, we are no longer inferior to the Demon Alliance cultivators in terms of frontal battle. However, the demonic insects ahead are really difficult to deal with. I don't know how to defeat them..."

An elder in a black robe said bitterly, "Those locusts are extremely annoying. Several of our fellow disciples were just a little slow in escaping and were eaten alive by them. If we don't get rid of them, I'm afraid we won't succeed."

Taoist Tianxiao said in a deep voice, "This demonic insect is no ordinary creature. It feeds on the essence, blood, and spiritual energy of cultivators. Once it devours a person, it will split into thousands, making it extremely difficult to completely eliminate it."

A few people talked a lot, and every sentence mentioned the evil insect.

Chen Mu's idea moved him, and he waved his hand to grab the corpse of an insect beast.

Lingji went in to take a look and nodded silently.

"I have my own way to defeat this insect, so you don't have to worry."

Several people were stunned for a moment. They never thought that he had found a way to control the insect in just a moment.

Taoist Tianxiao decided, "Since Chen Shangzhen said so, then I think he is confident. There is no need for us to say anything more. We might as well act according to Chen Shangzhen's words."

Seeing that he said so, the few of them looked at each other and naturally had no objection.

The elder in black robes asked, "Then I wonder when we will take action?"

Zi Yang looked at Chen Mu and said with concern, "Junior Brother Chen, you must have used up a lot of your energy on the way here. Why don't you take a break and recuperate before making any plans."

Chen Mu nodded and smiled at him, but said, "No need. The situation is urgent now. If we don't go to the Demon Cave, we will have no peace. We can't delay even a moment. Wait for me to make some arrangements, and then we will launch."

He had extraordinary magical powers. Except for the difficult encounter with Luo Ling, the other enemies did not cause him to consume too much magical power.

After waving his hand and casting down a curtain of forbidden gods, he called Tianxiao and the others, as well as some of his disciples, to his side, and then passed down a series of decrees...

……

On the Demon Alliance side, Yan Xinjue and the other two did not look as relaxed as before.

They knew that Chief Envoy Han had sent people to intercept Chen Mu on his way here.

Those two were not unknown people. Sima Chenghong ranked tenth on the Taixuan list, and Luo Ling was personally taught by Master Zhan. The chief envoy personally said that his fighting ability was not inferior to his.

Although there are bound to be some discrepancies, it is at least among the top ten in the Taixuan List.

Even so, Chen Mu was not delayed, and he still arrived here before the situation was settled. It was really terrifying.

Seeing him about to attack, the three of them couldn't help but be extremely vigilant...

Yan Xinjue looked again and again, and finally sighed and said, "Envoy Wu, now that Chen Mu has arrived, this is no longer a matter we can handle. Since the Chief Envoy has already said so, why don't we just leave now?"

Another demon envoy with disheveled hair agreed, "The chief ordered us to try to kill some of them. I just saw at least three of them abandon their bodies and escape, which is no different from falling to their deaths. It seems that we have exceeded our mission."

Different from the two who retreated in the face of difficulties, the thin man looked at the Green Rainbow Soul-Devouring Locusts with bright eyes. Their numbers had increased instead of decreased after they devoured several Nascent Soul bodies. He felt extremely confident.

In his opinion, although Chen Mu was extremely powerful, his spiritual locusts were not to be trifled with either.

It devours the essence, blood, and spiritual energy of cultivators and can be said to be the natural enemy of the Xuanmen cultivators.

Look at Taoist Tianxiao, isn’t that the case? Although he has perfect cultivation, he still finds it difficult to drive away and kill the swarm of insects.

It is true that Sima Chenghong and Luo Ling failed, but how can we be sure that they were not making things easier for him?

I guess Chen Mu’s combat power must have been reduced by at least half after traveling this distance.

If he could use the power of the Spirit Locust to stop Chen Mu, or even kill him, then the merit he would have achieved...

Just thinking about it made him feel a little restless.

"The time is right, the place is right, and the people are right. It's time for me to become famous!"

Yan Xinjue and the other two had no idea what he was thinking. They could see that he remained silent for a long time, his eyes flickering constantly, and they immediately felt something was wrong.

"Envoy Wu, Chen Mu is powerful, so don't have any inappropriate thoughts." Yan Xinjue reminded in a low voice.

"Hmph!" The thin man waved his sleeves and said in a slightly cold tone, "What do you mean by that, Yan Shangshi? Could it be that Wu is really not worthy of your attention?"

Yan Xinjue cursed inwardly, lowered his gaze, and said, "I didn't mean that. I just wanted to remind Envoy Wu not to cause any unnecessary trouble."

The thin man narrowed his eyes and vaguely heard the other party's warning. He couldn't help but think for a moment, but still didn't want to miss this opportunity.

He softened his tone and said, "Envoy Yan, why do you need to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige? We have the spiritual locusts to protect us. Even if Chen Mu has all kinds of tricks, it will not be easy to break them."

"If we encounter any problems during this period, it won't be too late for us to retreat. After all, the Demon Cave is ahead, and they won't lose sight of the main goal."

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and stared at Chen Mu's figure in the distance for a long time before turning back and saying solemnly:

"Besides, Chen Mushi is a great enemy of our Mengzong. Now that we have a good opportunity, I believe that even if Han Shoushi were here, he would choose to give it a try and kill him here."

Seeing him bring out the Han chief envoy, Yan Xinjue's eyes flickered. He knew it was hard to persuade him, so he shook his head secretly, but said nothing more...

……

Dao Palace Array.

In his haste to break out and expel the demon cultivators, Taoist Tianxiao did not make any advance deployments, so when fighting with the cultivators of the Demon Alliance, they mostly fought on their own.

Now that Chen Mu had arrived and there was someone in charge, everyone felt relieved and had an order in mind. Everything was arranged in just a few minutes.

This time, everyone was simply divided into three formations, with Chen Mu himself at the head, Taoist Tianxiao and four Nascent Soul cultivators including Zi Yang in the second formation, and as for the disciples, they were at the end.

These three formations did not rush forward at once like before, but had to wait until the front formation broke through the situation before moving forward, otherwise they would remain stationary.

Chen Mu stood at the front, glanced across at the other side, and said calmly, "Everyone, I'll go ahead."

Taoist Tianxiao knew very well that if he could not break out of the formation and expel the disruptive demon cultivators this time, let alone plan to attack other demon caves, he would not even have a chance to suppress this demon cave.

Therefore, this first battle is the most important and can almost be said to determine the success or failure of this battle.

He bowed solemnly and said in a serious tone, "Chen Shangzhen, be careful."

Chen Mu nodded slightly, auspicious clouds appeared under his feet, and he suddenly soared into the air.

In the sky, a torrent of water was seen passing by like a startled wild goose, rushing towards the place where the demon cultivator was in front.

The members of the Demon League immediately noticed the movement here and couldn't help but turn their eyes over.

However, even though they saw only Chen Mu here, the demon cultivators still felt a tremor in their hearts, and felt that the pressure had suddenly become as huge as a mountain.

Among them, Yan Xinjue is the best.

Not for any other reason, but simply because compared to others, he had the most contact with Chen Mu.

Looking back at Chen Mu's previous records against the monks of the Alliance Sect, he had never been defeated.

Even that little-known god was very likely to die at his hands.

Who can treat such an opponent with a normal attitude?

Although he did not agree with Wu Shangshi's approach, he was right in saying that Chen Mu was indeed a great enemy of Mengzong.

He's only at the Nascent Soul stage, yet he's already constantly causing trouble. It's easy to imagine how formidable a foe this type of person would be if he achieved the status of a True God Transformation Sovereign...

The thin man also became serious at this time. No matter how much combat power Chen Mu had left, he was able to kill and repel Sima Chenghong and Luo Ling's men one after another.

He forced himself to suppress the throbbing in his heart, and his eyes suddenly became fierce.

Now that you have decided to take action, you can't let go of the opportunity!
He waved his sleeves, and a buzzing sound suddenly spread between heaven and earth. Countless insects flew above, covering the sky and the earth, and the roaring sound was like a tide, all rushing towards Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was not panicked at all, he was well prepared for this.

He just turned his hand and threw out an inconspicuous jade talisman.

This item was a gift from True Lord Xuyun and was made by him personally. It has many uses. Besides being able to attack and defend, it also has another wonderful use.

That is, once used, it can take away all the spiritual energy within hundreds of miles!

Although it was only a brief moment, it was enough for him to make a big fuss about it.

Chen Mu guessed that the purpose of Master Xuyun giving him this talisman was to give him another chance to set things right when the situation was irreversible.

However, the situation has evolved to the point where it is actually nearing its end.

It was not used during the fight with Beiyuan, but one was used against Luo Ling, and now there are two left.

Even if I use one more jade talisman now, there is still one jade talisman left as a backup, which is enough.

What's more, this talisman is the most suitable to deal with the Green Rainbow Soul-Devouring Locust.

Once the spiritual energy in the surroundings is cut off, the insects and beasts that feed on it will be like fish out of water, and it will be easy to subdue them.

Besides this talisman, he still had many other methods to deal with the demonic insect, but this method was undoubtedly the most effective. More importantly, it was the fastest, making it easier for him to act later...

As soon as Chen Mu thought about it, the jade talisman thrown into the air flashed immediately.

In a moment, a dazzling light flashed through the sky, and countless clear spirits floated like mountains and seas, coming and going in all directions, and then in this instant, the world here was suddenly in trouble!
This feeling is strange, just like a mortal who is used to breathing suddenly stops breathing. Even if he holds his breath until his face turns red, he won't get any relief at all.

Chen Mu was waiting for this opportunity. He shouted loudly and unleashed his magic power. There was a loud bang, and the water surged and rolled up with a loud noise, expanding for dozens of miles.

In an instant, the surging waves swept away most of the demon insects with just one rush.

"not good!"

Yan Xinjue reacted the fastest. Seeing Chen Mu waving his hand to take away most of the demon insects, he couldn't help but be shocked.

The thin man also had his eyes wide open, looking incredulous.

How could the Spirit Locusts, who were displaying their might just now, be so vulnerable now?!
He was stunned for a moment, but Chen Mu did not stop for a moment.

His whole body was filled with magical power, and the white clouds above his head rolled, and suddenly a giant hand holding up the sky was condensed, with five fingers stretched out for dozens of miles, pressing down with a roar.

Yan Xinjue was the first to notice it, his face changed drastically as he said, "Envoy Wu..."

But before he could finish his words, the thin man with a complicated mood thought that he was going to blame himself, his face immediately darkened, and he subconsciously shouted first: "Why are you panicking, Yan Shangshi? I haven't lost yet..."

Little did he know that Yan Xinjue had no intention of blaming him. His urgent words were just a reminder: "Envoy Wu, retreat immediately!"

But after the thin man delayed himself for a moment, when he reacted, it was already too late.

Looking up, I saw a giant hand slamming down like it was blocking out the sun and the sky.

"Oh!"

A ball of blood rain exploded, startling several rays of light that fled.
