Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 845: Purple Extreme Settled Clouds Cover the Body
As the sky gets dark, the frosty and cold air becomes particularly strong.

The whistling cold wind swept across the sky, blowing into the hair of the Purple Extreme Taoists in the air, cutting their scalps like a knife. It had never been as cold as it was now.

They all knew what was going on.

Since the evil cultivators had already planned it, how could they take it back easily?

Even if there are not many people, they can use the magic array as a basis to hold out for a considerable period of time.

But too much time has passed, and in a few hours, the situation will be settled.

Can they recapture the magic cave and suppress it in such a short time?
High probability is not.

But during this ten thousand year demonic calamity, the sect's survival is at stake. Even if Peng Ying didn't express his stance, who would dare to speak out and abandon it?
At that moment, all the Taoists of Zi Ji gathered together and looked at Peng Yingzong.

"Brother Peng, the demon cultivators are in a hurry, so the formation they set up must be full of flaws. If we turn around and attack, there may be a chance of breaking through."

"That's right. I don't believe that the Demon Alliance has so many Nascent Soul cultivators. Maybe they are just pretending to be powerful and want to trick us into leaving on our own."

"Elder Peng, there is no time to lose. I hope you can make up your mind soon..."

Peng Yingzong nodded slightly, his eyes fixed, and said, "Junior Brother Guo, Elder Li, you two will return with me, and the remaining three of you will do your best to delay Feng Bai and the others from coming to reinforce. If we are defeated..."

He cast his gaze back to the battle in the distance and said loudly, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, the situation is critical. I hope you can continue to take care of us. I, Peng, would like to express my sincere gratitude!"

After saying this, he bowed solemnly.

Regardless of whether the secret of the spiritual formation was leaked by Jiang or not, he could only assume that it was not the case at this moment.

Otherwise, after they fell out with Jiang Mingyuan, they wouldn't have any chance at all...

Jiang Mingyuan was unhappy, but in his eyes, he came here to seek fame. Since Peng Yingzong said so, how could he turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear.

"Don't worry, Brother Peng. I will do my best."

"Thank you."

Peng Yingzong said the last words, and then he and Guo and Li leaped into the air and quickly fled towards the magic cave.

In the magic formation below, a Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator said, "Envoy Feng, shouldn't we stop them? What if they ruin the Alliance Sect..."

Before he could finish his words, Feng Bai chuckled and said, "Why, do you think that with just these three people, we can surrender and take back the Demon Cave?"

The man smiled awkwardly and said, "I dare not."

Feng Bai's smile remained unchanged as he continued, "Since the overall situation has been decided, why should we risk our lives to do something insignificant?"

He shook his head and said meaningfully, "Envoy Wu, don't overdo anything. If you accidentally make things worse, you will end up losing more than you gain..."

Peng Yingzong and the other two flew at an incredible speed and arrived in front of the magic cave in a flash.

Looking at the overwhelming demonic aura and foul air, their expressions became more solemn.

"Senior Brother Peng..." Taoist Guo turned his head to look.

After Peng Yingzong nodded, Taoist Guo suddenly stepped forward and summoned the Thousand-Force Formation-Breaking Shuttle. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, sweeping away all the remaining clouds, and the entire sky was filled with bright light that condensed into one point.

But before the treasure shuttle actually fell, a beam of mysterious light shot up into the sky and knocked the treasure shuttle away.

The three of them were startled and turned to look downwards.

Just then, a demonic shadow flashed, and a human figure came out and stood in mid-air. The man was wearing a bamboo crown and a cloth cloak, and had a natural temperament. He did not look like a demon cultivator, but rather like a Taoist monk with profound Taoism skills.

He sneered, bowed to the three of them, and said, "My three fellow Taoists, I have been waiting for you for a while."

Peng Yingzong and the other two felt a buzzing sensation in their heads. In an instant, they felt hopeless and blurted out this person's name in disbelief.

"Han...Han Cang!"

The Xuan and Demons have been fighting each other for decades, so they can naturally recognize Han Cang.

But the key point is, wasn't Han Cang heading for the Black and White Dao Palace? Why did he suddenly appear here at this time?!

The three of them were thinking quickly, thinking that there were only two reasons. One was that the Black and White Palace had been breached by them, and the other was that Han Cang was defeated. So they decisively withdrew and changed their target.

"But why... does it have to be my Ziji Sect..."

They didn't know the current situation on the continent, they just felt that their luck was extremely bad.

Han Cang waved his sleeves and said in a resounding voice, "Fellow Daoist Peng, do you want to fight again?"

Peng Yingzong's face suddenly darkened and he felt extremely humiliated.

But it was not towards Han Cang, but because the thought of avoiding the fight suddenly flashed through his mind.

Although he knew that this was the right thing to do, as the head of a lineage, how could he be so cowardly!

His eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he was about to shout loudly.

But at this moment, Taoist Guo walked up and shook his head at him.

"Brother Peng, as long as there is life, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood. The Demon Cave has been lost. Even if we die here, it cannot be restored. It is better to stay here and help the master survive this disaster."

The white-haired elder also stepped forward and said, "Elder Peng, the ancestor also said when he came here that if you see that the situation is not going well, you can retreat as appropriate."

"Now that Han Cang is here, let alone the three of us, even if we had a few more of our fellow disciples, it would be difficult to seize the Demon Cave within a few hours..."

Peng Yingzong sighed secretly, and the heroic spirit that had been built up in his heart dissipated. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't worry about priorities."

His expression grew serious, and he shouted in a serious voice, "Friend Han, I was defeated by one move today. I admit defeat and will take the initiative to lead my disciples back to the mountain gate."

"But before I leave, could Fellow Daoist Han please help me resolve the doubts I have in my heart?"

Han Cang smiled faintly and said, "I understand what you want to ask, but now is not the time to answer your questions."

Peng Yingzong was paused, but he could only bow and fly back with Guo and Li.

Looking at the three people leaving, Han Cang's expression remained unchanged and he remained calm.

Only when he raised his eyes and looked into the distance at the direction of the Pure Yang Demon Cave did a hint of worry appear in his eyes.

The distance between the two places is neither close nor far, and it is hard to say what other movements are happening. However, if the spiritual formation where the magic cave is located turns into a demon, some of the noise can still be heard.

But until now, the distant sky is still silent, with no movement at all...

Thousands of miles away, beneath a towering ancient tree, Jiang Xiuqi and a gray-robed Taoist priest sat opposite each other, with a chessboard in front of them.

It was his turn to make a move, but just as he picked up a chess piece from the box, he suddenly seemed to realize something. He looked up at the sky, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, nodded and smiled:

"The curtain has fallen on the Purple Extreme Sect's Demonic Cave. Fellow Daoist Qian, according to the previous agreement with Chief Envoy Han, could you please hand over that item to me?"

The gray-robed Taoist reached out and captured a stream of Qi. After sensing it for a moment, he smiled and said, "It should be so."

He waved his sleeves, and a square crystal jade box appeared in front of him, and a fresh fragrance immediately spread out.

Jiang Xiuqi lowered his eyes and looked, and after just a quick glance, he felt the blood in his body boiling.

He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and reached out to grab it impatiently.

But before he could get it in his hands, the Taoist in gray robe pulled it gently again and took the jade box a little further away.

Jiang Xiuqi's face darkened and he asked, "What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Qian?"

The gray-robed Taoist smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, why are you so anxious?"

He turned to look in the direction of Chunyang and whispered, "The Chunyang and Ziji meridians are both active at the same time. Why is it that Ziji has already settled, but Chunyang is still motionless?"

"joke!"

Jiang Xiuqi replied coldly, "My promise to you all was to clearly explain the routes of the two spiritual formations. As for whether it succeeds or not, or whether there's any movement or not, what does that have to do with me?"

"Fellow Daoist Qian, are you trying to break the agreement by doing this?" At this point, he narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I wonder if this is what Chief Envoy Han meant, or if it's just your idea?!"

Seeing his strong reaction and extremely tough attitude, even bringing up Han Shoushi, the gray-robed Taoist's eyes flickered a few times and he couldn't help but smile:

"Friend Jiang, please don't overthink it. I just wanted to ask if there's anything missing. I don't have any other intentions."

He pushed the jade box over and said, "This is what you deserve, fellow Taoist. Please accept it."

"Humph!"

Jiang Xiuqi felt relieved, but his expression remained unchanged. He took the jade box, opened it, and after confirming that it was the Three Lives Blood God Pill, he casually put it in his pocket.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, goodbye."

After this episode, he didn't even want to say a word of courtesy. He hurriedly stood up, bowed, and flew away.

Only after he flew out of the other party's range of consciousness did he lose control and burst into laughter, the sound echoing in all directions.

With this item in hand, he can continue his journey. The joy in his heart is beyond words. He can't wait to take the elixir and rebuild his body.

But he also knew that now was not a perfect opportunity, as his own magic cave had not been completely suppressed. As a disciple of the Jiang family, how could he not even show up once?
His expression straightened, and a gray light flashed around his body, and he suddenly broke into the sky.

But before he set off, he suddenly thought, "Come to think of it, Zi Ji has already been determined, so why is there no movement from Chun Yang Tian?"

He pondered for a moment, then shook his head and ran towards Jiang's place. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared...

Little did they know that Chun Yang, who was puzzled by everyone, was not completely silent...

……

earlier.

Yang Cheng and Peng Yingzong received Jiang's flying letter at the same time, and almost left their respective spiritual formations at the same time, heading straight for the demon cultivator.

But unlike the Ziji Sect who marched all the way to the magic formation, Yang Cheng and his group not long after they set out, they felt a light approaching from the distant sky.

For safety reasons, Yang Cheng decisively signaled his fellow disciples to stop and be alert.

But after seeing the figure of the person coming, he shouted on the spot, surprised and said: "Brother Chen, why is it you?!"

There are two people coming.

A man dressed in black and white Taoist robes, with a neatly decorated hair crown and a dignified and generous face.

A man was wearing an ink-black water-soluble robe, with a look of transcendence between his brows, a slender figure, and a handsome demeanor.

It was Chen Mu and the other one who came at high speed!

Chen Mu laughed out loud and said, "Brother Yang, long time no see."

When he escaped from the Void Heaven and returned to Zhongzhou, Yang Cheng and others came to congratulate him with gifts.

Unfortunately, the timing was not right and he was in seclusion practicing hard at that time, so he was unable to see it.

I didn't expect that the day we met again would be when we were in such a difficult situation.

"Fellow Daoist Tao."

"Tao Huanzhen..."

"Is this the rumored Chen Shangzhen?"

The Taoists from Chunyangtian were also very excited and greeted Chen and Tao one after another.

Chen Mu and the other person returned the gifts one by one, and after a lot of trouble, they finally finished the tedious etiquette.

Yang Cheng and others looked at them enthusiastically, especially when they learned that they had come specially to help, they were deeply moved.

"Brother Chen, I really don't know what to say..."

As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Yang Cheng has always been a man of great courage, but at this moment, his eyes could not help but turn red.

Chen Mu smiled and patted his shoulder, jokingly saying, "In all the years we've known each other, I've never seen Brother Yang act like this."

"Let me make it clear to you first. I'm here to help you, and you don't need to say anything. But Tao Huanzhen can't make this trip in vain."

Yang Cheng's expression immediately straightened, returning to his usual heroic demeanor. He said, "Of course. I wonder what Daoist Fellow Tao needs?"

Tao Xianxu nodded and smiled at Chen Mu first, then politely replied: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother Yang. I came here for only one thing."

"If this magic cave is real, I will shamelessly share some of the spiritual cave's fortune. But if this magic cave is false, then there is no need to bother you, fellow Taoist."

Yang Cheng waved his hands: "How can this be possible? Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Tao, even if I fail to fulfill your wish, I will definitely not remain silent..."

Of course, this is all later, and neither of them wanted to have a deep conversation.

Chen Mu's expression became serious and he asked about the current situation.

After a Chunyang elder explained the situation clearly, Chen Mu and Tao Xianxu looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

As they traveled along the way, they saw no trace of Han Cang and the others who had fled in defeat. They thought that they had already split up to support the three magic caves, but now it sounded like they had not yet arrived here.

How is this possible?

If Han Cang had no interest in this magic cave, why would he leave so decisively?

Obviously there is something fishy going on here...

Seeing their eyes flickering, Yang Cheng's heart skipped a beat and he asked unconsciously, "But what's wrong?"

Chen Mu did not hide anything and said frankly: "If my guess is correct, Han Cang and others have already arrived at your three meridians."

"Who?"

The elders of Chunyangtian stared in disbelief, but suddenly they confirmed the matter.

Yes, even the two Palace Masters of the Black and White Dao Palace have come here, which shows that Han Cang and his men have been defeated and have changed their target...

"Han Cang... Elder Yang, what should we do now?"

Several elders were already panicking and speaking without thinking, obviously they had been afraid of him for a long time.

Yang Cheng forced himself to remain calm, waved his hands and said, "Don't panic. With Brother Chen and Fellow Daoist Tao's help, we'll be able to fight even if Han Cang comes to us."

He looked at Chen Mu and the others and said in a deep voice, "Brother Chen, since the situation is unclear, do you have any ideas?"

Chen Mu frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "Now that you are in the light, the two of us and Han Cang are in the dark. In my opinion, we can proceed according to the original plan."

"It would be a good thing if nothing unexpected happened, but if Han Cang were to attack, the two of us could also become the cause of the change."

At this time, a Chunyang elder said with a lack of confidence, "Chen Shangzhen's words of wisdom and security are very good, but what if... Han Cang and the others have already discovered Shangzhen's arrival, how should we respond..."

Once it is discovered, the light and darkness will change, or it may backfire.

Chen Mu smiled calmly: "This elder is very thoughtful. But you can rest assured. Since I haven't been able to find the other party's whereabouts, I don't think they will find out either."

Given the strength of his soul, it is possible that his whereabouts were discovered quietly by True Lord Huashen, but as they are both Nascent Soul cultivators, the probability is less than one in ten thousand.

Yang Cheng thought to himself that Chen Mu had always been cautious and steady. Now that he said this, it was clear that he was extremely confident. He couldn't help but be infected by him and said in his heart, "Okay! I'll follow Brother Chen's opinion!"

Everyone hit it off immediately, and after giving each other a few words of advice, Yang Cheng led his fellow disciples to continue running forward.

Chen Mu and the other two waved their sleeves, and clouds surrounded them, merging with the clouds in the sky and following behind Yang Cheng.

If someone were to use their divine sense to investigate at this moment, even if they went back and forth ten times, they would definitely not be able to detect the slightest difference...
