Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 847 The chess game fails and Jiang is in trouble

The night is hazy and the sky seems to be splashed with thick ink.

Under the Ruyuan curtain, Han Cang came walking on the clouds, with a streak of blood light falling far behind him. That was Luo Yunran, whose escape speed was not as fast as his.

As soon as the two appeared, the fighting on the field came to an abrupt halt, and the fighting died down for a while, falling into an eerie silence.

Be it the Chunyang side, Xi Chenghe and others, or Chen Mu and Tao Xianxu, they all stopped their actions and looked over.

"Elder Yang..."

There was a Taoist priest named Chunyang with an unpleasant look on his face, and he seemed to want to say something in a low voice.

But at this moment, Yang Cheng had no intention of listening to his useless words. He just kept looking back and forth between Chen Mu and Han Cang.

Han Cang's expression was grim. He first glanced at the magic cave in the distance, and then glanced at Yan Xinjue and others.

After seeing the dead man in the black robe, his expression suddenly darkened.

The defeat of Black and White was due to Chen Mu's return too timely, which resulted in a complete loss. He had no choice but to retreat and seek another way out.

And now, just as the plan was about to succeed and seize the Pure Yang Demon Cave, Chen Mu stood up to stop it...

Han Cang said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you are so active that you are annoying!"

Chen Mu smiled calmly and replied, "If you don't want to see me, you can lead the people away. I will not stop you."

"What a loud tone."

Han Cang stared at him and said, "Do you really think that I can't defeat you?"

Chen Mu remained calm and whispered, "You may be able to defeat me, but not in a short period of time."

Hearing this, Han Cang's brows tightened.

He had this worry. If Chen Mu was the only one among the black and white people, he would have taken action just now.

But with the addition of Tao Xianxu, things are not that simple.

Tao Xianxu is very powerful and has been ranked ninth among Taixuan for a long time. He should not be underestimated.

If he had the time, it would be no problem for him to deal with the evil cultivators he brought with him.

Once Xuanmen is free of obstacles and he is entangled by Chen Mu, the magic cave here will be suppressed and silent in an instant.

By then, there would only be one Purple Extreme Demon Cave among the Three Veins Demon Caves, and they would still not be able to achieve their original expectations.

Therefore, the method of attacking the Pure Yang Demon Cave by force is not appropriate. If we want to occupy another Demon Cave, we need to find another way...

"It seems that this is the only way..."

Han Cang made up his mind and suddenly waved his sleeves.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him. Seeing him suddenly move, they all paused, thinking that he was going to fight with Chen Mu.

But when they saw that Chen Mu was still calm, both the Xuan and Demonic factions couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Snapped!"

But there was a crisp sound, and a big hole appeared in the golden barrier that trapped Yan Xinjue and others. Several wisps of black air penetrated like ropes, wrapped around Yan Xinjue and others, and brought them out.

Tao Xianxu's eyes flashed: "Brother Chen Dao?"

Chen Mu shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Yan Xinjue and his companions escaped death with a look of great relief. After they landed safely, they all bowed their heads and said, "Thank you, Chief, for your help!"

Han Cang ignored him and just stared at Yan Xinjue.

After seeing that he looked like he was dying, he frowned slightly and waved his hand to summon a ball of dirty blood light to hit him.

The next moment, the blood disappeared, as if it had melted into the body. Within a few breaths, Yan Xinjue's energy gradually became stronger until it returned to normal.

Yan Xinjue's heart trembled, and he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Chief Envoy, for the gift of spirit!"

The turbid blood light is extremely precious. It was refined by the True Lord of Mengzong Tomb and can restore the injuries and consumed magic power of the person who receives the spirit in a short period of time.

The original intention was for Han Cang to use it when fighting Ming Chenzi, but unexpectedly, in the end, this spirit was used on him.

Han Cang waved his hand and said meaningfully, "Envoy Yan, do as I instructed you to do..."

Yan Xinjue's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Isn't the chief envoy going?"

Han Cang cast his gaze towards Chen Mu and the other two, shook his head and said, "They both came here for the creation of the spirit cave, but this magic cave is empty. After being dispelled by it, they will definitely not give up."

"To avoid any further accidents, I need to keep an eye on them."

Yan Xinjue looked troubled: "But... if the chief envoy doesn't go, I'm afraid we won't be able to accomplish our mission."

Han Cang said, "You all go find Envoy Qian, he will take you there."

"Money envoy?"

Yan Xinjue suddenly realized that the chief envoy had another plan...

A group of demon cultivators turned around and retreated in a mighty manner, including Xi Chenghe and others in the magic formation.

But Yang Cheng still didn't dare to be happy too early, after all, there was still someone left in the air.

Moreover, he is the leader of the Nascent Soul stage of the demonic sect. If he attacks, it will be another tough battle.

"What do you mean, sir?" Chen Mu asked in a clear voice.

If you want to fight, then fight. If you want to leave, then leave. What does it matter?
Han Cang didn't rush to answer. Instead, he looked up at the sky, then smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, the sky is about to brighten. It seems that the Demon Cave is not far away from solidifying. What do you think?"

Chen Mu still frowned and nodded slightly.

Han Cang continued, "If that's the case, then you and I shouldn't run around anymore."

He looked around and stopped at a cloud-covered peak. Then he jumped down and casually set up a chessboard at the top of the peak.

After taking his seat, he stretched out his hand and gestured towards the cushion opposite him, saying with a smile, "Why not play a game of chess with me? It'll save you some energy..."

Chen Mu suddenly realized that this was because they were afraid that he would cause trouble again during this last period of time.

But if this is the case, doesn't it prove that this magic cave is fake?
He glanced at Tao Xianxu and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

If Han Cang was determined to stop the two of them, they really had no way to stop them.

After all, as he had said at the beginning, time was running out. Before they could decide the winner, the outcome would already be decided...

Tao Xianxu was not a stupid person, so how could he not see the deep meaning of it?

He sighed deeply and said, "Not being able to get what you want is fate."

Chen Mu said in a serious tone: "I can use all my strength to hold Han Cang back."

Tao Xianxu shook his head: "Ziji has already been lost. Since Han Cang dared to come here, it means that he must have set up a heavy formation. It is almost unrealistic to want to recapture and suppress the Demon Cave in a short period of time."

"As for the Jiang family...even if I help them clear the obstacles and successfully suppress the Demon Cave, do you think they will repay me by giving me some of their spiritual cave fortune?"

"Brother Chen Dao, this matter is no longer possible. Just agree to his request."

After saying that, he exchanged a look with Yang Cheng.

The latter immediately understood and led his fellow disciples to fly up together. After nodding to Chen Mu, he and Tao Xianxu returned to the magic cave...

……

The wind was howling, and Luo Yunran followed back in a daze, his mind already filled with doubts.

Seeing that they were out of the Xuanmen cultivator's divine consciousness range, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "Envoy Yan, what did the chief envoy say to you? Why did we return in such a hurry?"

He wasn't the only one confused; the rest of the group didn't know the reason either. Yan Xinjue, sensing everyone's gaze, replied in a deep voice, "The chief ordered us to go to the Jiang family."

"what?"

Luo Yunran said in a gruff voice, "Are you kidding me, Jiang Clan? Jiang Clan is much more powerful than Chunyang Heaven. Instead of changing their orders every day, they should try their best to entangle the cultivators of Chunyang Heaven!"

Yan Xinjue said coldly, "You didn't see what happened just now, Lord Luo? Tao Xianxu is ranked ninth in the Taixuan realm. If he is determined to help Chunyang, who can we rely on to stop him? Lord Luo?"

Luo Yunran's expression froze. He thought to himself that he was very powerful and had personally killed a first-class figure like Qiankun Cave Daozi. But as Yan Xinjue said, Tao Xianxu was ranked ninth, and he was only twenty-seventh.

Such a gap cannot be made up by self-confidence.

"But even so, is Jiang easier to deal with than Tao Xianxu?!"

He pretended to be indignant, thinking that Yan Xinjue would have nothing to say, but he didn't expect that the other party's expression was firm, and he sneered: "Maybe it will be easier to deal with."

His heart suddenly trembled, and he vaguely sensed something, and asked, "What exactly is the Chief Envoy's plan?"

Yan Xinjue himself didn't know everything, so he just replied, "You'll know in a moment."

The group fled at an extremely fast speed, and within a short time they ran into the Taoist priest in gray robes who was coming towards them.

Yan Xinjue was delighted and called out loudly, "Envoy Qian!"

The gray-robed Taoist flew in front of the group, frowned, and asked, "Why are you back? Is there something wrong?"

Yan Xinjue nodded and briefly told him what had just happened.

"Envoy Qian, I was worried that we wouldn't be able to stop the Jiang family from suppressing the Demon Cave, but the Chief Envoy said you have a solution. I wonder what it is?"

The gray-robed Taoist suddenly smiled, his eyes puzzling as he said, "What methods do I have? I am just the chief envoy making preparations..."

……

Jiang family territory, Linque Cliff.

The pillar of demonic breath broke into the sky, and was still climbing up and expanding outwards little by little.

Jiang Xiuqi's eyes were cold, he stood with his hands behind his back, and looked quietly at the shadow of the demon world.

After an unknown amount of time, he turned around with a somewhat impatient expression and asked, "Third Uncle and the others still haven't killed those demon cultivators?"

Just because he has a cooperative deal with Han Cang doesn't mean that the Jiang family is involved with the Demon League.

Therefore, there is no shortage of demonic cultivators outside to cause trouble, and because their Jiang family is powerful, the scale of their demonic cultivators is much more powerful than that in the Chunyangtian and Zijimen lines.

But even so, it is not his turn to fight in the battlefield. He only needs to control the overall situation from the back.

A member of the Jiang clan replied, "Most of the demon cultivators have been killed. Only the old demon Xuehuang remains, stubbornly resisting and refusing to leave."

"Blood Desolate Old Demon?"

Jiang Xiuqi's eyes flashed. He knew that this person was indeed very powerful. Although he was unable to make it onto the Taixuan List due to his approaching deadline, he was still strong enough to be in the top ten.

However, in his impression, this person was obviously afraid of death, and the closer he got to his death, the more he tried to find ways to prolong his life. What happened today?
He couldn't help but ponder inwardly, and after a moment, his heart suddenly trembled.

"Don't tell me Han Cang arranged this on purpose..."

He hurriedly said, "Send two or three people to risk their lives to entangle the old demon, and the rest of you should quickly return and help me suppress the demon cave."

"Yes!"

The Jiang clan members immediately obeyed the order and left, and the scene fell silent for a moment...

"Taozi has orders, Taozi has orders..."

The Jiang clan member passed on the order, and the blood cloud in front suddenly surged, and several figures flew out from it. A rough count showed that there were six or seven figures.

However, although there are many people, most of them are cultivators in the early and middle stages.

They were invincible against ordinary demon cultivators, but they seemed somewhat inadequate in front of the old demon Xuehuang who had lived for nearly a thousand years.

The third brother, Jiang Mingzhi, his beard fluttering, looked up at the demon cave in the distance and said with determination, "Xiu Qi has given orders. It's clear that we can't delay any longer. Fourth brother, seventh brother, and Xiuping, the three of you will deal with the old demon here. The rest of you will return with me!"

"it is good!"

The group split into two groups and went in opposite directions.

But the old demon Xuehuang was unwilling to do so. Han Cang had made him a promise and asked him to do his best to entangle the Jiang family. Since there was no news at the moment, he could not let the Jiang family turn around and leave so easily.

"Where to go!"

He shouted in a hoarse voice, and the sound of waves rising and blood clouds dispersing appeared. A magnificent river of blood suddenly emerged from it, flowing gently, as if connecting the past and the present. Once it was revealed, even time seemed to pass slower.

The fourth brother, Jiang Mingxiang, gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

Lao Qi and Xiu Ping followed closely behind.

Jiang Mingzhi and others seized the opportunity, exerted their magic power, broke free, and rushed towards the magic cave.

Seeing that they were about to fly out of the blood river, the old demon Xuehuang was anxious, but he was helpless as the other three people fought desperately to stop him.

At this moment, a blood-red light suddenly fell from the sky and landed right on the way Jiang Mingzhi and others were returning.

"Why are you all so anxious? Come and catch up with me."

A figure appeared and bowed and smiled at everyone calmly.

Jiang Mingzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he muttered, "Luo Yunran?"

When everyone heard this name, their pupils shrank.

In these three veins, if we put aside the old demon Xuehuang, the person they fear and dread the most is Luo Yunran.

It's not just because of his powerful strength, but also because of his cruelty. Not to mention that he had killed Qiankun Dongdaozi, almost everyone who fell into his hands was sucked dry of blood by him and died.

But this is still not the main point. The main point is how Luo Yunran suddenly appeared here, and he is not the only one...

One after another, the demon cultivators appeared, floating in the air like colorful flags. They were Yan Xinjue and others.

Jiang Mingzhi and the others looked ashen for a moment. They were already dealing with just one Blood Desolate Demon, but now there were so many more of them...

The old demon Xuehuang was also startled, then laughed loudly and said, "Envoy Yan, has something changed?"

If things change, then his merit in keeping Jiang in check will increase dramatically.

Yan Xinjue pursed his lips and smiled, then nodded. He then took a step forward and shouted loudly to the direction of the demon cave: "Fellow Daoist Xiuqi, a good friend is visiting, why don't you show up to meet him?"

The sound rumbled and echoed, and it sounded like thunder in this place.

Or perhaps the people in the room were so nervous that they didn't realize for a moment that the name was wrong.

"Fellow Daoist Xiuqi?"

Seeing that there was no movement, Yan Xinjue shouted again, but this time, before the sound faded away, he saw a startling rainbow rising in the distance.

Jiang Xiuqi showed no expression of joy or sadness, and walked forward on the clouds with his head held high.

When the sky became brighter again, he flicked his sleeves and appeared before everyone.

Yan Xinjue's heart suddenly skipped a beat, thinking to himself that the other party shouldn't be in this attitude...

He was overwhelmed with thoughts, but decided to remain constant in the face of change. He laughed heartily and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiuqi, it feels like three years since we last met."

"We have come here today in the hope that you can help us to the end and do us one last favor..."
