The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 269 Amidst Endless Flames of War
At this moment, in the Cold Pool Cave of Shattered Star Island.

"The yin energy here is pure and beneficial to spiritual plants."

With a slight thought, Chen Jinshu felt the scene of the spiritual plant space unfold in his mind.

Inside the space, the Xuan Yin spiritual field was absorbing the rich Yin energy surrounding Ding Fu, slowly nourishing the few Xuan Yin grasses that had been newly transplanted there.

Then she lightly touched her brow with her fingertip, and a puppet that looked exactly like her reappeared.

"go with!"

"Explore this island and the surrounding waters, seek out places where cultivators gather, purchase more comprehensive maps and sea gazetteers, and pay attention to teleportation array messages."

Hiding is paramount; retreat immediately upon encountering danger.

As she spoke, a wisp of divine thought was injected into the puppet's core.

The puppet's head immediately rippled with golden light patterns, its expression became vivid, and in the blink of an eye, it changed its appearance.

This time, she planned to let the puppet, which possessed a faint sense of her consciousness, explore the surroundings on its own.

……

After a stick of incense.

The puppet avoided the "Black Reef" direction it had visited before and chose the other side of the island, sneaking towards an area where the spiritual energy seemed relatively mixed and there appeared to be human activity. Finally, it made a gain.

After crossing a rotting mangrove forest filled with gray poisonous miasma, the puppet detected clear fluctuations of spiritual energy and a cacophony of human voices.

Ahead, the terrain leveled out, and in a relatively sheltered bay, the outlines of many majestic wooden and stone buildings appeared in the mist.

It is several times larger than "Black Reef" in scale, but the environment and atmosphere are not much better than Black Reef.

At the main entrance of the market, there is a huge stone with three characters engraved on it: Du Ni Fang.

Soon, the puppet stopped behind a huge weathered reef a hundred feet away from the entrance of the market.

There were more monks in Du Ni Fang than in Hei Jiao Fang, and their clothing was more varied.

There were body cultivators wrapped in dirty animal hides, sea hunters returning in small bone boats, and immortal merchants dressed in relatively neat robes.

The puppet wandered around for a while without finding anything of value, until it came to a cultivation inn, where it heard rough discussions.

"Damn it, something big has happened at Medicine King Valley?"

I heard they started fighting?

"Medicine King Valley?"

A thin, short monk chimed in, his voice tinged with surprise and doubt:

"That sacred land of spiritual plants in the Eastern Region? What major event could possibly happen there? Didn't the Valley Master just celebrate his 800th birthday?"

"Hey, I just got off the 'Flying Whale' and heard about it!"

The cultivator took a swig of the spiritual wine and wiped his mouth.
"The Blood River Sect and the Yin Sha Sect! These two powerful demonic factions have joined forces and surrounded Medicine King Valley."
The scale of the operation is terrifying; apparently, they want Medicine King Valley to hand over someone!

"Hand over the person? Hand over who?" Another cultivator leaned over, looking curious.

"I don't know, but it seems to be a mysterious cultivator who killed a powerful elder of the Yin Sha Sect near the market."

"What do you mean, 'killed a powerful elder'? It was just an elder. Does the Demonic Sect really value loyalty and righteousness?"

"These demonic sects are probably envious of Medicine King Valley's long-standing possession of Eastern Region's medicinal resources, and they've used this as an excuse to make trouble."

"Who knows!" the burly man spat.

"Anyway, the fighting was fierce and chaotic!"
The manager of the Flying Whale said that even from thousands of miles away, one could see the light of the Medicine King Valley soaring into the sky, accompanied by a pervasive aura of malevolence.

The protective array around the valley seemed to be shaking violently! Medicine King Valley is in grave danger this time!

"Just hand him over, isn't that enough? He's just an alchemist." Some people disagreed.

"Bullshit!" the burly man glared.

"What do you think Medicine King Valley is?"
If they just hand over anyone, who will trust them in the future?

Besides, the mysterious cultivator who made the move behind the scenes is said to be no pushover either. He just killed a Golden Core elder of the Yin Sha Sect and is still so calm about it.

"An absolutely ruthless character!"

The sounds of discussion rose and fell on the edge of the bustling market.

The substitute puppet listened quietly, continuously transmitting information back to the depths of the Cold Abyss Cave, into Chen Jinshu's sea of ​​consciousness, through that wisp of divine thought.

……

At that time, in the Eastern Region, tens of thousands of miles away, was the Valley of Medicine Kings.

The once sacred land of spiritual plants has now been transformed into a battlefield of carnage.

The Blood River Sect continued to bombard the massive light screen that enveloped the entire Medicine King Valley, the Azure Sky Array of Ten Thousand Trees.

The great array of light curtains was a resilient cyan-gold color, with countless mysterious plant and tree runes flowing and dying within it, stubbornly resisting the erosion of the demonic fire.

Each impact produced a deafening roar.

Outside the great formation, Yin Sha Sect cultivators rode rolling black clouds, howling winds, and the Myriad Soul Banner fluttering.

Countless vengeful spirits emitted piercing screams, transforming into a black tide that crashed against the weak points of the great formation wave after wave.

Pale white bone spears and filthy, dark lightning rained down like a storm.

The disciples of Medicine King Valley, relying on the great formation, fought desperately under the command of the elders of each peak.

Countless spiritual plant seeds, shimmering with azure light, were activated, took root, and instantly grew into resilient giant walls of vines or strange plants that sprayed poisonous thorns.

The alchemy furnace was used as a ritual implement, spewing out scorching alchemical fire or corrosive poisonous mist.

The light of flying swords and magical artifacts crisscrossed the night sky, colliding with demonic artifacts to create dazzling sparks and explosions.

The outer sect elder Liu Qingchen was no longer the kind-hearted person he usually was.

He was leading a group of outer disciples in a desperate defense of a key array point near the valley entrance.

He waved a jade array flag wildly in his hand, his face as pale as paper, trying his best to maintain the stability of the array in this area.

"Hold on! The key point of the formation must not be lost!"

"The Valley Master and the Supreme Elder are dealing with the demon!" Liu Qingchen hissed in instruction.

Boom!

A thick, pale bone spear slammed into the array not far in front of him, causing the cyan-gold light barrier to fluctuate violently.

In an instant, more than a dozen disciples who were forming an array were shocked and coughed up blood, collapsing to the ground.

Several Yin Sha Sect cultivators seized the opportunity to widen the crack and rush in.

"You wretched creature, how dare you!"

Liu Qingchen roared, his array flag slammed down, and a condensed azure light shot out, piercing through the chest of a demonic cultivator.

At the same time, his disciples also unleashed their magical weapons to intercept him.

puff!puff!
Swords clashed and blood splattered.

Although the attack was temporarily repelled, the cracks in the array's core continued to widen.

"Uncle-Master Liu! We can't hold on any longer! There are too many demonic cultivators! The Nascent Soul stage demon hasn't even made a move yet!"

Liu Qingchen's heart sank to the bottom instantly. Looking at the terrifying figures at the front, his eyes were full of astonishment.

The Valley Master is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Nascent Soul cultivators from the Blood River Sect and the Yin Sha Sect.

Before the mountain-protecting formation, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley was still dressed in a blue linen robe.

Behind him, the red-robed elder was surrounded by raging flames and roared:
"Blood River Old Ghost! Yin Sha Demon!"
What is Medicine King Valley?
Even after the death of a wicked creature who colluded with demons and slaughtered mortals, he still dares to come here to cause trouble and demand people back?
If you want to fight, fight!

My 'Heaven-Burning Furnace' is missing a few key ingredients from the demonic path!

Chu Nanguan, dressed in white, stood at the very front of the formation, his hand on his sword, his gaze fixed on the terrifying Blood Demon on the flying chariot.

The Valley Master raised his hand, stopping the red-robed elder's roar:

“Xuan Yinzi has been committing evil for a long time, and his actions deserve to be punished.”

What crime have fellow practitioners committed in upholding justice on behalf of Heaven?

This is a personal grudge; the person responsible for their life or death is to bear the consequences.

Medicine King Valley is not a place for venting anger, nor is it a place where demons can lightly humiliate.

His wide sleeves fluttered even without wind, as he pointed at the crumbling mountain-protecting formation from afar.

"Buzz!"

The nearly depleted greenwood light barrier suddenly trembled.

Suddenly, tender new green shoots sprouted from countless withered yellow spots that had been eroded by deathly energy.

These tender shoots grew wildly, instantly devouring and purifying the death energy, making the dim light barrier even more resilient and solid than before.

"Stubborn!"

Upon seeing this, the Blood Demon's eyes blazed with crimson light, his scarlet cloak fluttered wildly, and a Nascent Soul aura, ten times more terrifying than before, erupted forth.

Behind him, amidst the churning blood mist, the faint phantom of a gigantic demonic banner emerged.

"In that case, I will personally dismantle your turtle shell, then drag out that junior and extract his soul!"

On the flying chariot of withered bones, the eerie green soul flames of the nine skulls suddenly blazed fiercely.

Suddenly, an incredibly thick, filthy river of blood, mixed with the pale, malevolent energy peeled from the skeleton, stabbed fiercely at the newly revived green wood barrier.

The black-robed elder of the Blood River Sect and the Golden Core cultivators of the Yin Sha Sect roared simultaneously, as various demonic magical treasures and supernatural powers surged forth in a torrent, following closely behind. "Hold fast to the array's core!"

The Valley Master shouted in a deep voice, forming hand seals. Behind him, a phantom image of a towering Jianmu tree appeared, and the abundant essence of Yi wood poured into the great formation like a tide.

The red-robed elder roared and summoned a giant bronze cauldron engulfed in flames.

Chu Nanguan's longsword rang out clearly, its sword energy like a rainbow. All the cultivators of Medicine King Valley gritted their teeth and pushed their spiritual power to the limit.

"boom!"

A cataclysmic collision erupted.

The azure light and the blood-black demonic energy clashed violently.

The entire Medicine King Valley shook violently.

"Master of Medicine King Valley! Hand over that junior's corpse!"

Otherwise, I will raze your Valley of Ten Thousand Spirits to the ground today, turning this sacred land of spiritual plants in the Eastern Region into scorched earth and a ghostly realm!

"Old Valley Master, why risk the lives of the entire valley for a junior who has already escaped and is oblivious to his fate?"

Hand her over, and I will personally extract her soul and refine her spirit.

Otherwise, I wouldn't mind using all the plant and tree spirits in this valley to fill my Banner of Ten Thousand Souls!

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley snorted coldly, his tone unwavering:
"The Way and the Demon cannot coexist."

Medicine King Valley has existed for three thousand years, and has never bowed to the demonic path.

Whether that person stays or leaves is up to fate; he is neither a member of my valley nor someone I can befriend.

You covet the art of enlightenment and intend to do evil; why do you need so many excuses?

"If it's war, then let's fight!"

After he finished speaking, a towering azure beam of light slammed into the Blood River Sect elder atop the Bone Dragon's head.

"Roar!"

Upon seeing this, Elder Blood River immediately activated the Bone Dragon.

The crimson demonic fire and the cyan pillar of light collided violently, and a terrifying shockwave instantly swept in all directions.

It tore a huge hole in the clouds in the sky.

……

boom!
Another filthy river of blood, mixed with the ghastly aura of pale bone spears, slammed heavily onto a light barrier near the valley entrance.

"puff!"

Liu Qingchen was struck hard and flew backward, crashing into a stone pillar behind him, spitting out blood.

His face was deathly pale, but he gritted his teeth and gripped the dimly lit "Yi Wood Azure Flag" tightly, struggling to stand up.

"Uncle-Master Liu!" Several Foundation Establishment disciples, covered in blood, rushed over to help him.

"Don't worry about me! Inject spiritual energy! Stabilize the situation! We can't open a breach!"

Liu Qingchen slammed the green flag into the ground, using his body as a wedge, and frantically poured the last bit of spiritual power from his dantian into the array flag.

The blue flag flashed faintly, barely managing to hold up the crumbling crack and temporarily halting the surging tide of demonic cultivators.

However, this is merely a drop in the ocean.

Ahead, the Valley Master was fighting alone against the black-robed elder of the Blood River Sect and the Nascent Soul Demon of the Yin Sha Sect. Even with his extraordinary cultivation, his brilliance was somewhat dimmed under the combined attack of the two demons.

The crimson-robed elder's Heaven-Burning Furnace was engulfed in raging flames, but it was also tightly bound by several magical treasures.

Chu Nanguan, his white robes stained with blood, wielded a sword that cut down countless low-level demonic cultivators, yet he was held back by a Yin Sha Sect elder at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

"Hehehe... Old man Medicine King!"

To put up a stubborn resistance will only increase casualties!
"Hand over the 'Scripture of Enlightenment' and the remaining branches of the Jianmu tree, and I might show mercy and allow your bloodline to linger on!"

"How dare you, you wicked demons, invade my sacred land of righteousness in the Eastern Region!"

In an instant, a clear and cold voice rang out.

On the eastern horizon, a massive silver cloud ship broke through the clouds.

On the cloud boat, hundreds of figures stood solemnly like a forest, each carrying a long sword and dressed in white.

The middle-aged Taoist priest at the head of the group, whose body was radiating sword energy, was none other than Ling Yunzi, a Nascent Soul sword cultivator from the Yan Yun Sect.

"Yan Yun Sword Formation, activate!"

Ling Yunzi pointed his fingers like a sword and pointed in mid-air.

Hundreds of elite disciples of the Yan Yun Sect behind him echoed in unison, their voices resounding throughout the surrounding area.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

The clear, melodious chirping of countless swords drawn simultaneously converged into a torrent.

Hundreds of dazzling sword lights shot into the sky and rushed towards the Blood River Demon Dragon in the formation.

Boom boom!

The phantom of the giant sword collided violently with the Blood River Demon Dragon.

The ferocious and incomparable demonic dragon was instantly pierced from head to tail by the sword light.

It vanished in an instant.

"Yan Yun Sect!"

The Blood River Sect elder was filled with shock and anger, and the bone dragon beneath him let out an uneasy roar.

The backlash from the destruction of the demonic dragon caused Elder Blood River to sway and his face to turn slightly pale.

He stared in shock and anger at the silver cloud boat that stretched across the sky:
"Ling Yunzi! How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Blood River Sect?"

"It is the Yan Yun Sect's inescapable duty to eliminate demons and uphold justice!"

Ling Yunzi's voice was cold and clear:
"Medicine King Valley is the leading alchemy sect in the Eastern Region, benefiting all living beings. How can we allow you demons to run rampant here!"
"Disciples, heed my command! Follow me to slay demons and vanquish evil!"

"Slay the demons and eliminate evil!!" Hundreds of Yan Yun sword cultivators roared in unison, their voices like a tidal wave.

Elder Blood River's expression changed drastically. He could no longer care about the great formation below. He snorted and his bone dragon spewed out raging demonic fire. At the same time, he summoned a blood-red demonic shield to block in front of him.

"Violent!"

The next moment, a majestic and sacred cry of a bird echoed from the southwestern horizon.

The dark clouds were dispersed by an invisible force.

A huge, colorful cloud came in, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be countless magnificent birds with beautiful plumage and majestic physiques.

The Azure Phoenix spread its wings, scattering a purifying radiance; the Golden-Winged Roc stirred up a gale that tore through space; and the Blazing Divine Crow spewed fire to burn demons…

A chorus of birdsong, a sky covered with countless wings!
On the back of the spirit bird stood many powerful cultivators, dressed in beast-patterned battle robes.

Leading the group was none other than Xiong Li Zhenjun, a Nascent Soul Elder of the Beast Taming Sect.

"The Beast Taming Sect is here! You demon brats, taste the claws and fangs of your grandfather's spirit beasts!"

Xiong Li suddenly waved his hand, and all the beasts behind him roared in unison.

Rumble!
Countless colorful and uniquely attributed divine abilities of spirit beasts descended.

Chi Chi Chi!
The Yin Sha Sect's proud Ten Thousand Souls Formation quickly crumbled under the might of the Hundred Birds Heaven.

The Yin Sha Sect elder who was controlling the Myriad Souls Banner groaned, and several cracks instantly appeared on the banner's surface as his aura weakened.

"Beast Taming Sect! Are you going to get involved in this mess too?"

"Hmph! If Medicine King Valley is destroyed, the Eastern Region will run out of spiritual pills. Where will my Beast Taming Sect get food for its thousands of spirit beasts?"

Cutting off my food supply is like killing my parents!
"Men, tear these demon bastards to shreds!" Xiong Li roared, and the mountain-like giant ape-man beneath him stood up, pounding his chest with his fists and letting out a deafening roar.

He leaped down from the clouds, his enormous feet carrying the force to shatter mountains, and slammed down on the densely packed camp of demonic cultivators on the ground.

"Imperial Edict of Yuqing! The righteous law of Heaven and Earth will ward off all evil!"

Then, from the north, a patch of clear light and auspicious clouds drifted leisurely over, with figures on the clouds, all dressed in simple Taoist robes, exuding composure.

The leading middle-aged Daoist nun was none other than Qingwei Zhenjun, a Nascent Soul Elder of the Yuqing Sect.

Behind her, dozens of Yuqing Sect disciples moved in unison, forming hand seals and chanting incantations.

Countless jade talismans and golden seals, shimmering with clear light, flew out from their sleeves and instantly filled the sky!
"Suppress!" True Monarch Qingwei waved his whisk lightly.

hum!
The talismans in the sky shone brightly at the same time.

Some transformed into enormous golden "镇" (zhen, meaning "to suppress") characters, pressing down like mountains to forcibly imprison and suppress the surging demonic energy.

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements from the three great sects! Heaven has spared Medicine King Valley!"

Liu Qingchen used all his strength to pour his remaining spiritual power into the Yimu Azure Banner, and the banner's light actually became a little stronger.

The pressure on the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley lessened dramatically, and he laughed heartily:

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Lingyun, Fellow Daoist Xiongli, Fellow Daoist Qingwei!"
Medicine King Valley will forever remember your kindness!

The demonic path is rampant! Today, I urge all fellow Daoists to follow me and eradicate this evil completely!
