Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 255 Domineering Old Friend
As soon as she finished speaking, a pink flame flew out of Luan Tong'er's mouth.

Upon seeing the fire, the celestial being who had been shouting immediately became wary. While casting spells and using magical artifacts to protect himself, he quickly retreated while shouting:
"You brat, how dare you kill your own fellow disciples!"

However, the pink flames flickered, seemingly slow but actually fast, and in the blink of an eye, they attached themselves to his body, easily piercing through the protective spells around him, and even burning through his proud sixth-level magic weapon.

With a scream of agony, the man was engulfed in flames and instantly transformed into a fiery figure, his flesh and bones charred away.

This scene, witnessed by the other disciples of the Five Internal Organs Temple around Luan Tong'er, left them all terrified. They never expected that Luan Tong'er, who seemed all smiles on the surface, would be so ruthless in her actions.

After killing the disciple from the Five Internal Organs Temple, Luan Tong'er looked around and sneered:

"Want to go back and complain? You'll have to be alive to go back."

Turning his gaze away from the charred corpse, Luan Tong'er looked at his entourage, whose expressions had changed. He flashed a white smile, seemingly unaware that his actions had gone too far, and calmly said:
"Fellow Daoists, I am a disciple of the Immortal Chuyang. I have come here on my master's orders to collect spiritual herbs. Once I leave this place, my master will surely guarantee me a Foundation Establishment stage."

I humbly request your strong support, fellow Daoists.

Upon hearing this, the quick-witted disciples of the Five Internal Organs Temple immediately bowed and greeted him with a fawning smile: "Greetings, Brother Luan! We will follow your lead without question."

However, quite a few of them, while bowing in greeting, suddenly scattered and fled without a word.

These people saw that Luan Tong'er was indeed ruthless, and that he had already treated his fellow disciples so cruelly as soon as he entered the secret realm. They believed that he was capricious and undoubtedly a bad person, and that they had to stay away from him.

When Luan Tong'er saw the crowd scattering and fleeing, his face showed no surprise, but instead a mocking expression reappeared.

He slightly raised his chin, and the two beautiful women on his left and right suddenly pounced out with great speed, catching up with the fleeing immortals. Their slender fingers pierced directly into the immortals' bodies, pulling out their still-beating hearts.

Those who were able to resist even slightly were manipulated by Luan Tong'er through hand seals and incantations. She then spat out a lively little firebird, laughing as she said:
"Now that you've joined, you can't just leave whenever you want. Go!"

Next, this fellow led his three disciples to search for the people who had just escaped.

When they met again, they were all engulfed in flames, or already charred corpses, or barely clinging to life. They were then killed by those who had been following Luan Tong'er.

Luan Tong'er looked at the accompanying disciples with satisfaction: "That's more like it."

He didn't even bother to look at the charred corpses and their broken magical artifacts. Instead, he swaggered through the secret realm, stepping on pink clouds, as if he were just there for amusement.

In this child's mind, this trip to the secret realm was indeed no different from a leisurely stroll.

He has his master's protection; how could he be like those peasants who need to fight to the death here?

The three disciples of the Five Internal Organs Temple who were accompanying them exchanged glances, and then their eyes fell on their newly acquired storage magic artifacts. Their expressions changed, and the three of them were all delighted and quickly followed.

However, until they left, this group of people were unaware that a gaze was watching their every move from a distance of a hundred feet underground.

This person was Fang Shu.

After confirming that Luan Tong'er and her group had completely left, he opened his eyes, his brows furrowed, and whispered:

"What an arrogant disciple!"

A hint of killing intent rose in Fang Shu's eyes.

His killing intent, however, did not arise from righteous indignation at seeing the disciples of the Five Internal Organs Temple die tragically at the hands of their own people.

Instead, he spotted a familiar face beside Luan Tong'er through the divine silk and the spying of one or two Gu worms.

That face was none other than Mai Sheng'er, one of his few old friends from the temple. Fang Shu had been back on the mountain for half a year, and he had seen Lu Renjia, Bao Fengtao and other surviving old friends a few times, but Mai Sheng'er was the only one whose fate was unknown in the temple, and he had not been able to catch up with her.

As a result, he now meets the other party in the secret realm.

Thinking of this, Fang Shu's gaze darkened even more.

Mai Sheng'er did not enter this place as a disciple of the Five Internal Organs Temple, but was accompanying Luan Tong'er and was one of the two beautiful concubines.

Just by looking at Mai Sheng'er's numb and stiff expression, Fang Shu knew that she had met with misfortune and had been turned into something like a puppet or zombie, to be driven by others.

Underground.

After memorizing the face of the phoenix boy, Fang Shu slowly exhaled, his eyes regaining their calm.

Although he harbored murderous intent, the enemy was in the open while he was in the shadows, so there was no need to rush to avenge his old friend; he would wait and see.

Who knows, there might be an opportunity to take advantage of the situation or even kick someone when they're down in the future.

Coming to his senses, Fang Shu closed his eyes and sensed something.

He then swayed and emerged from underground, leaving his hiding place.

"Four days have passed, and I have a general understanding of the environment here. It's time to set off to explore this place and search for spiritual herbs and other items," Fang Shu thought to himself.

He would never forget that the reason he came to this secret realm was twofold: firstly, to collect thousand-year-old spiritual herbs for the Dragon Maiden Immortal Clan, and secondly, to accumulate resources for his own foundation building and earn merit within the temple.

Collecting treasures is the real business.

Fang Shu stood in mid-air, looked around, and after a few moments of contemplation, chose a direction that would be different from that of the Luan Tong'er before heading towards the depths of the secret realm.

As he walked, he also released Gu worms, letting them roam around a distance of three hundred feet, the farther the better, to scout the way.

quickly.

Fang Shu left the edge of the secret realm and encountered many ferocious beasts along the way.

And with just a casual gesture, he picked a lot of spiritual herbs, each of which was a hundred years old!
The only pity is that these spiritual herbs also contain evil energy, which must be processed and removed before they can be refined and consumed. Currently, they are in a secret realm with limited conditions, so they cannot collect and use them immediately. They can only seal them one by one in jade boxes for the time being.

For several days in a row.

He gained something every day and realized that the trip was truly worthwhile.

At the same time, other immortals in the secret realm also set off one after another, like Fang Shu, gradually heading towards the depths of the secret realm.

The abundance of spiritual materials in this place constantly stimulates all the immortals who come here, naturally leading to one bloody battle after another.

Among the disciples of the five sects of Mount Lu, apart from a few lone wolves like Fang Shu, the vast majority chose to band together for warmth, attaching themselves to the ruthless figures within the sects, and working together for wealth and power.

Suddenly, on this day...

As Fang Shu traveled to the vicinity of a swampy area, a precious light suddenly appeared in front of him, several feet high, and clearly visible for ten miles.
