Ziwei Immortal Path

Chapter 31 Cold Haze
“Clang, clang, clang! Clang, clang, clang!”

On the shore of Xinyue Lake, a group of ugly fish monsters with white heads and red bodies were swimming in the water. After surfacing, they immediately opened their mouths wide and roared, flapping their wings on their cheeks, and flew up from the lake one after another.

The big fish monster with red stripes leading the group had a ferocious face and murderous eyes. In his hand he held a dark red trident that flashed with a faint red light.

In the reeds on the ground, there was a rustling sound. Dozens of vipers shuttled through the reeds. They came to She Pingfu and stopped, raised their heads, spitting out their tongues, and their pupils were flashing with ferocity!

Chen Baochong sucked in a breath of cold air, his face pale. The group of fish monsters in the sky were crowded together. A casual glance showed that there were no less than hundreds of them. All of them had their teeth bared, and they looked terrifying. Glancing sideways, he saw Xu Boyang also stood up, his face also full of horror.

A shocking battle is about to break out!
She Pingfu glanced at the slowly flying Lei Gang, then fixed his eyes on Chen Baochong, and said in a deep voice with his spiritual consciousness:
"This yellow-robed brat must be a Taoist disciple of the Immortal Sect. He's not easy to deal with. I don't know if he has any help from behind. You and I will hold him back here, and let the clan members head southwest. Once we pass Wuyin Town, we'll reach Qidu Mountain. After crossing that mountain, we'll reach Zhufen Plain. By then, no one will be able to do anything to us!"

Lei Gang nodded slowly, glanced at Xu Boyang, and felt puzzled. He slowly asked with his spiritual sense, "She Pingfu, isn't this kid a cultivator? How come I haven't died for so long?"

"Humph!"

She Pingfu snorted, feeling his face pale and the wound under his ribs aching slightly. He only replied:
"I don't know what kind of escape technique this kid has learned, he's very cunning. Don't be careless! Kill these two Taoists if you can, but don't fight them if you can't. You and I have an important mission, we can't lose the big picture over a small one!"

"I know."

Although Lei Gang said nothing, he was secretly muttering in his heart:
"You can't even kill a small cultivator, yet you still come to order me around. How did you, a stupid snake, become the leader of the 72 Teng Snake tribes? You're a weakling on the inside, too."

Xu Boyang was really frightened by this scene. He had just killed a fish monster, but he didn't expect so many to appear at this moment. How could he kill them all? It was really impossible to kill them all. He silently pondered a countermeasure in his heart, secretly pinched his hands behind his back and performed the "divine speed technique". Suddenly, he heard Chen Baochong's voice:

"Brother Xu, there are so many monsters, they're not easy to deal with. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape unscathed. With such a powerful enemy at hand, my father has become a burden. I'm truly ashamed. I'll hold them off for a while, so please take my father back to Reed Village as quickly as possible."

"In addition, I will give you another 'Square Inch' token. Please go to Wuyin Mountain on the west bank and inform me that the Chen family monks are coming to support us. Don't worry, as soon as the Wuyin Mountain monks arrive, the situation will be resolved!"

Xu Boyang looked at the golden sword that fell from the sky, which was really shocking and made the gods and ghosts weep. He thought that this person was really powerful and there was nothing wrong with listening to his arrangements. He nodded slightly.

I glanced sideways at Old Man Chen in the distance and found that he had already urinated and defecated, with his eyes open, mouth open, lying on the ground with his back facing up, trembling all over. He looked like he was scared silly, and I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

In the blink of an eye, the two forces each had their own ulterior motives and calculations, but it was unknown who would have the last laugh.

The situation becomes tense in just a moment!
"move!"

She Pingfu knew that the longer he stayed, the more danger he would face, so he shouted loudly, picked up his spear, flashed a mysterious light, and rushed towards Chen Baochong alone!
Manta followed closely behind, waving his trident!
At the sound of this order, the monsters moved, flying and swimming at an incredible speed, rushing towards the southwest!
A token was sent across the air!

Xu Boyang stretched out his hand and grabbed it. A golden light flashed under his feet, and he leaped towards Old Man Chen!

"Go!"

Chen Baochong saw it clearly and took a step forward with his left leg. Immediately, a dark green talisman paper appeared in his left hand. With a sharp shout, the talisman paper shot out and burned up in the air. In an instant, bamboo shoots broke through the soil on the mudflats, growing thick and strong branches, thin branches, and leaves.

In just a few breaths, the bamboos grew against the wind, and among the reeds on the mudflats, a row of thick and dense bamboos grew out. They were tall and big, turning into a green barrier, blocking the way of the monsters.

The row of bamboos appeared suddenly, and the leading fish monster stopped in its tracks. However, the ones behind it didn't notice it at all and couldn't avoid it in time, so they bumped into it. Then, several fish monsters in a row rushed into the bamboo forest like a pile of Arhats.

As soon as the fish monsters entered, the bamboo forest seemed to come alive, waving its branches and embracing them tightly, binding the fish monsters in an instant. The trapped fish monsters panicked and struggled desperately, causing the bamboo leaves to scatter!
The other fish monsters stopped in their tracks, startled, and wanted to escape elsewhere, but they never expected that the green bamboo would grow in the wind, with its branches curling up, and actively come towards them.

Chen Baochong slapped out the "Lingxu Cuiyun Barrier Talisman" of the Foundation Establishment Period, and then stopped looking at it. He made a sword gesture with his right hand and swung out the Biwei Sword. The green light flashed, and the sword's sound broke through the air. A green sword energy, shaped like a crescent moon, flew out from the tip of the sword and flew straight to She Pingfu!

At the same time, he exhaled a breath of spiritual energy, and a token appeared on his left hand. The token was covered with ancient patterns, and the two ancient seal characters "Ding Jia" were written in the center. It was another foundation-building magic weapon of his.

"[Dingjia Order]!"

Ding Jialing exhaled spiritual energy, and then a faint light flashed, and a stream of clear green water poured out from the token, fell to the ground, and in a blink of an eye turned into a two-meter-tall water man wearing helmet and armor.

This water man was lifelike, with green liquid flowing around his body and emitting green light. He held a double-edged sword in his hand. As soon as he landed on the ground, he danced with the two swords and slashed at the ray!

It's too late, it's faster than that!

Within a few breaths, Chen Baochong delivered the order, threw the talisman, drew the sword, and summoned the armor, all in one go, perfectly demonstrating the demeanor of a cultivator that a disciple of an immortal sect should have.

Precisely because he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, he immediately put to use all he had learned in the past ten years, not daring to hold back. Unfortunately, he had not yet established his foundation, so he could only rely on his own energy to release spiritual energy, and could not borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at will. He had to rely on magic tools and talismans, otherwise he could use the magic of heaven and earth, which was even more powerful.

She Pingfu and Yue Gang had never expected that this person, who had not even reached the foundation-building stage, had so many methods. They were almost the same as the cultivators that Jianshui had besieged. They were a little panicked for a moment.

The sword energy of the Biwei Sword broke through the air and shattered She Pingfu's mysterious light in one go. It continued to fly towards his face without slowing down!
She Pingfu was shocked and fell down in a hurry. He just managed to avoid it, but in the next moment he saw Chen Baochong rushing towards him with a sword!
"puff!"

The ray had just successfully awakened its spirit and had not yet transformed. It was weaker than the snake Pingfu. It turned around and fought with the water man. It saw the right moment and stabbed the water man with a fork, but the other party had no reaction. It was like stabbing into a lake or sea. The water man didn't care and chopped at his head with two swords!
For a moment, monsters were trapped in the bamboo forest, water people were fighting rays, Biwei was killing snakes, and Chen Baochong actually killed more than a hundred water monsters on the opposite side by himself!
At this time, Xu Boyang had already carried the frightened old man Chen on his back. He took a look and saw that Chen Baochong was very capable and displayed his magical powers frequently, fighting against the monsters on equal terms!
Secretly envious:

"This immortal sect cultivator is truly amazing. I have obtained this [Purple Star Fate Palace], but I cannot join the immortal sect. I am caught between two things and I don't know if I will ever have such a great blessing in the future!"

When he thought of this, he was surrounded by powerful enemies and did not dare to stay any longer. He immediately used his "magic speed" and carried Old Man Chen on his back as he ran towards Luwei Village.

Little did he know that from the moment he got the token and put it in his arms, the token began to flash with a subtle golden luster. In the direction of the center of Xinyue Lake, the wind and clouds changed, and the clouds gathered like a real dragon sucking water. In the blink of an eye, a gray-brown mist condensed and flew towards the south bank at a high speed.

This cold mist came very quickly and silently in the night. In less than a moment, it had arrived thousands of feet above the sky on the south bank of Xinyue Lake.

Lin Huaisheng was wrapped in black smoke, riding on the back of an eagle, looking at the lively fighting on the shore not far below. He was grinning mischievously when he suddenly felt the hair on his body stand up like thorns on his back. When he looked up, he saw a cold mist flying towards him like lightning from the distant sky.

"Cloud shelf on the Huai River!"

His Lin family was originally from the Huai River. When he saw the cloud, he was frightened and his breathing became rapid. He felt that his life was about to end. He quickly made a gesture to retract the eagle, and quickly fell down and hid in the reeds. In just a moment, he saw the cold mist coming above his head, paused, and then flew straight towards the reed village!
"Oh no!" Lin Huaisheng was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly. He weighed the pros and cons in an instant and took out his magic weapon [Ghost Torturing Stick]. However, he did not dare to fly the wind and hurriedly ran towards Luwei Village!

Unexpectedly, after running for a moment, he saw from afar that the cloud had stopped halfway. It actually stopped in the small courtyard where he had just stayed, blocking the road to Luwei Village.

Lin Huaisheng saw it from a distance and immediately squatted on the ground, not daring to move. At this moment, he felt like he was carrying water with a bamboo basket. He didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, turned around and went straight to the lake.

"No matter what, life and death are up to fate!"

Xu Boyang ran all the way, and in a blink of an eye, the old Chen family was in sight. Suddenly, he saw flames in the reed village farther away, and heard crying and shouting from afar. He was immediately startled and said:
"Those monsters aren't on the shore, what happened in the village?"

Old Man Chen, crouching on Xu Boyang's back, also heard the distant shouts. He looked up and saw the smell of fireworks filling the night sky above Reed Village. He stretched out his hand and exclaimed, "Fire! Fire!"

Xu Boyang was anxious and ran as fast as he could. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at Old Chen's house, but saw the gate was wide open and the yard was in a mess. His heart skipped a beat and he immediately had a bad premonition. He thought to himself that something was wrong and stopped at the door for a moment, not daring to go in rashly.

He put Old Man Chen down, drew the Qingyuan Sword from his back, listened for a moment, and when he heard no movement, he tiptoed into the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the room, I saw Huang lying on the ground with blood all over the floor.

Xu Boyang's heart sank. He put away Qing Yuan and hurried over to help the old man up. He checked his mouth and nose and found that he had been dead for a long time.

Xu Boyang stood up slowly, shocked and angry, with huge waves in his heart and a chill on his back.

He looked carefully but could not find any fatal wounds. When he injected spiritual energy into him, he found that his internal organs were all shattered into a ball. He didn't know who had done such a cruel thing that he didn't even let an ordinary old man go. He had such a vicious mind. He was so angry that he was shaking for a moment. Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him.

Old man Chen was in a daze. When he saw Xu Boyang come in, he stood at the door for a moment, then followed him in tremblingly. When he stepped over the threshold and looked up, he saw his wife lying in a pool of blood!
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The old man stretched out his hands and rushed over like crazy, holding the blood-stained Huang in his arms. He swallowed hard and wanted to speak, but he felt something stuck in his chest, like a fishbone in his throat. His whole body trembled uncontrollably. After a while, he coughed and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth!
"Mother! Mother! Who is this bastard who did this evil thing? You will die a miserable death! Oh my God!"

"I, Old Chen, have never desired anything in my life. Why do you treat me like this? My dear mother, wake up! Wake up! How can I live without you... Wuuuuuuu... Oh my God! I don't want to live anymore!"

Xu Boyang sighed to the sky, and tears couldn't help but flow from the corner of his eyes.

He and the Chen family met by chance and had a meal together. Although Mrs. Huang was a bit nagging, she was just an ordinary rural old woman. The murderer was really cruel and worse than a beast. He didn't even let go of an old, weak, woman or child!

I'm afraid all the answers are right now in Luwei Village!
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he made up his mind to pick up Old Man Chen and shouted:

"Mr. Chen! Wake up! Your wife is dead, and the dead cannot be resurrected. Stop crying. I'm afraid this disaster was caused by a traitor! Your son is still in danger by the lake. Stay home and I'll go out and check on him!"

Then he carried him into the house, searched for a moment, and stuffed him into the stable in the backyard, covering him with horse straw. He shouted in a deep voice, "If you want to see your three sons again, you'd better stay inside and don't move. Except for Chen Baochong and me, no matter who comes, don't come out! Wake up and remember this!"

At this time, Old Man Chen was curled up in a pile of horse hay, covering his head with his hands. He was so scared that he couldn't hear anything. He was hysterical and only a hissing sound could be heard in his throat. His eyes were blurred with tears and his nose and eyes were wrinkled.

Xu Boyang couldn't bear to watch any longer, and planned to lock the gate of the courtyard. But then he thought it was not right. Huang's internal organs were shattered by someone, and the murderer was either a monster or a cultivator. For such a strong man, the door would be like paper. Locking the door would be of no help, but would make people suspicious.

The gate to the courtyard was wide open and the ground was a mess. Even if someone came to take a look later, they probably wouldn't come in.

"What on earth happened in Reed Village? How could such a heinous crime happen?"

"The situation on the shore is critical right now. If I don't go to Wuyin Mountain for help, I'm afraid Chen Baochong won't be able to hold off the water monster. If the water monster breaks through the barrier, it will be a river of blood. But then again, I've never been to Wuyin Mountain. Not to mention where it is, the journey is probably not short. I don't know what will happen if I go back and forth like this."

Xu Boyang rushed out of the yard with the token given by Chen Baochong in his hand. He looked at the fire in Luwei Village and the wailing everywhere. His mind was in turmoil for a moment and he was a little undecided.

After thinking for a moment, he realized that he had just been hit by the snake demon's mysterious light and had suffered considerable internal injuries. It would be even more dangerous to go to Reed Village alone. He decided to follow Chen Baochong's plan and go to Wuyin Mountain. In case there was any powerful cultivator on the mountain who came riding on the clouds, who knew that he would be able to escape the current crisis in a moment.

Having made up his mind, he stopped hesitating and looked towards the west of the lake shore. He performed a magic trick of speed, stepped on the golden light, and prepared to set off.

Suddenly, there was an echo in my ears, and a faint female voice rang out, with a slightly strange tone:
"There are evil bandits slaughtering villagers up ahead, and fellow disciples being besieged by water monsters in the back. You're not helping, but standing here for a long time, and now you're heading west. That's strange. Where are you going?"

This sound came suddenly and without warning. Xu Boyang was struck by lightning, his face changed drastically, and he stopped in his tracks and looked around. He saw only darkness all around him. He could only see thick reeds, but no human figures. He shouted angrily:

"Who are you, woman? Why are you sneaking around in the middle of the night?"

"Humph…"

The female voice snorted, with a hint of disdain in her tone.
"You little cultivator, you're afraid of death, you're timid, you have poor cultivation, yet you're so arrogant, and you even dare to ask for my name?"

After hearing this, Xu Boyang immediately flew into a rage and shouted:

"Since you were able to discover the situation, you must be a high-ranking cultivator of the Immortal Sect. As a senior of the Immortal Sect, why don't you lend a hand? Instead, why come to me and waste time? If you don't want to take care of this matter, why bother me?"

"you…"

The woman didn't expect Xu Boyang to show no fear at all. Instead, he scolded her loudly, and every word he said was reasonable. For a moment, she felt guilty and snorted, saying:

"Well, I can tell you my name, but you have to tell me where you want to go now?"

After that, he paused and said coldly:
"Kid, remember, my name is Qi Fuling."
