Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 258 Eradicating the Illness and Cleansing the Foundation
Fang Shu examined Luan Tong'er's burning corpse. Although his gaze was surprised, he did not lower his guard.

With a whoosh, his figure flashed and he suddenly hid behind an outer disciple.

Luan Tong'er's corpse swayed.

Then, pink peach blossoms bloomed and flew out from the corpse of the phoenix boy, flashing as they rushed towards the living creatures in all directions.

One of them was aimed at Fang Shu.

Fortunately, Fang Shu was alert. After killing Luan Tong'er, he kept a close watch on what other tricks she might have up her sleeve.

His dodge successfully redirected the peach blossom mark that was aimed at him to the immortal being.

The protective aura and magical artifacts on the other person's body were all rendered useless, easily penetrated by the mark and imprinted on their cheek.

Even though Fang Shu used outer disciples as shields, a few peach blossoms still bypassed him, acting like dogs and insisting on pouncing on him.

Amidst the buzzing, these peach blossom marks ultimately failed to materialize; they were merely imprinted on the Gu worms that Fang Shu had prepared long ago.

"Is this... tracking living things?" Fang Shu squinted as he examined the markings on his Gu worms.

Without hesitation, he severed his connection with the Gu worms and sent the other Gu worms forward to devour several of them that had been marked with the peach blossom symbol.

As for the few Gu worms that he swallowed, they died on the spot and were then burned to ashes by him with a fire talisman.

Fang Shu was handling the situation methodically, while the other outer disciples beside him were all in a state of utter despair.

"What the hell is this?! I can't wipe it off!"

"This is bad. This must be the mark left on Luan Tong'er by the Immortal Chuyang. Once we leave the secret realm, the Immortal Chuyang will be able to find us through this mark."

The five outer disciples were all sweating profusely with anxiety. One of them even gritted his teeth, took out a small knife, and scraped it against his cheek, trying to cut off the flesh branded with peach blossoms.

After the skin and flesh were cut off, cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead: "This thing seems harmless, but it has actually deceived our physical energy and penetrated directly into our bones."

"Damn it, what should we do!"

The group was getting increasingly impatient.

But just then, a cheerful voice rang out from the scene:
"Fellow Daoists, instead of worrying about the future, why not consider the troubles at hand?"

These words startled all five of them.

They snapped out of their daze and quickly looked at Fang Shu beside them, only to find him holding a banner, with the yellow phantom hovering around him, smiling at them.

The five men's expressions changed, and without further hesitation, they all bowed down in worship:

"Greetings, Immortal Master!" "I beg you, Immortal Master, spare my life! I am willing to follow you to your side, to serve you like a beast of burden!"

Fang Shu did not reply. He simply flicked his finger, and Huang Ding shot out, smashing the heads of the two outer disciples who attacked him first.

With a soft thud, the two men's skulls exploded like ripe melons, leaving the other three pale and terrified.

"Please forgive us, Immortal Master! We had no choice but to turn to thievery in our desperation!"

"Immortal Master! Please spare my life for the sake of our shared sect."

Bang bang bang!

The remaining three lay on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

Fang Shu ignored the other person. He carefully observed that the marks on the faces of the two dead people had not flown out again, so he collected their souls, storage bags, and other items.

After dealing with the situation, he pondered for a moment before speaking to the remaining three: "If you answer all my questions, I may let you go for now."

"Yes, yes, your disciple will certainly speak without reservation and without holding back." The three were overjoyed, and the other party bowed respectfully to his master.

Next.

Fang Shu questioned them one by one, learning a great deal about the Luan Tong'er and the secret realm from them. Suddenly, his eyelids lifted sharply, and he exclaimed in surprise, "A wondrous object that cleanses one's bones and elevates one's spiritual roots?"

"Exactly!"

The three outer disciples answered one after another: "That scoundrel Luan Tong'er once said that he would definitely go to the Blood Lake in the second month after entering the secret realm."

"This lake isn't hard to find, but its waters are sinister, and it harbors many ferocious creatures that can suck a person's life essence. However, the center of the lake is full of treasures, with a pool built of blood lotus flowers. Bathing in it can cleanse one's very being!"

Fang Shu nodded thoughtfully, then questioned the three of them for more information and found that they did not seem to be faking it.

Seeing Fang Shu's increasingly friendly attitude, the three of them felt a sense of relief, realizing there was a way to survive. However, their expressions quickly returned to tension, and their eyes revealed fear.

Because Fang Shu actually picked up the souls of those two outer disciples right in front of them and began to search their souls!
Even after someone dies, they are still not spared. Such methods are truly utterly depraved.

Fortunately, none of them lied or concealed any crucial information, harboring the idea of ​​luring Fang Shu to the blood lake so they could escape or kill him.

After a long while, Fang Shu opened his eyes and nodded with a gentle expression: "You all did not deceive me. In that case, the three of you may leave."

"Thank you for sparing my life, Immortal Master!"

The three outer disciples were overjoyed and bowed to Fang Shu.

But the next moment, their bodies jolted, and they struggled to raise their heads, looking at Fang Shu with expressions of confusion, anger, and sorrow.

呲呲呲!
All the protective spells and artifacts around the hearts of the three men were broken open, leaving holes that caused them to lose a lot of energy and become paralyzed.

The three men could only manage to look up at Fang Shu, their mouths slightly open, but they couldn't utter a single word. Then their eyes dimmed, and they died on the spot.

Fang Shu remained calm. He continued until he sent out the Gu worms to confirm that the three were completely dead, and then took their storage bags before cremating and collecting their bodies.

His voice finally broke through the silence:
"I will keep my promise and spare your souls."

After he finished speaking, his gaze shifted and landed on Mai Sheng'er, who was standing to the side.

After Luan Tong'er died, the two beautiful concubines who accompanied her remained motionless and unresponsive.

Fang Shu looked Mai Sheng'er up and down, a few fluctuations appearing in his eyes.

According to his divine sense and what his disciples said, this beautiful woman from the Xingtang Hall was indeed the Corpse Princess.

It is made by secretly refining a living person's flesh for seven days and seven nights, and the soul of the living person must be imprisoned in the corpse to increase servility.

With a soft sigh, Fang Shu took out a fire talisman and cast it on Mai Sheng'er's body.

With a hissing sound, the corpse energy on the other party surged up, making it difficult for even the Six Tribulations Fire Talisman to burn it.

It should be known that these two beautiful women have bodies as strong as Vajra and bodies as serpentine as elephants, and are extremely beautiful. They are not only for amusement, but also one of the trump cards given to Luan Tong'er by the Immortal Chuyang, so that the other party can act tyrannically in the secret realm.

Unfortunately, after being hit by Fang Shu's Yellow Nail, the opponent was in a panic, first focusing on raging and killing Fang Shu, and then focusing on escaping. Although the two beauties provided some support, they did not fully utilize their abilities.

After some effort, Fang Shu finally ignited Mai Sheng'er's physical body and released a dim wisp of spiritual light from it.

Under his protection, the spiritual light was not burned by the fire talisman. Instead, it swirled around several times and even flickered towards him a few times before dissipating into the world with the wind, its whereabouts unknown.

Observing this scene, Fang Shu lowered his gaze and remained silent for a few moments.

He then abandoned all caution and smashed the other beautiful woman statue to pieces, burning it to the ground. It was best not to be greedy for objects personally crafted by the Immortal Clan of the First Sun.

As for the most important corpse of Luan Tong'er, he boldly stepped forward and explored it.

Unfortunately, the strange fire on Luan Tong'er's body was meant for self-destruction, and it had already burned the other party's soul to ashes, making it impossible to search for the soul.

Even the opponent's storage bag was burned, and all the items inside fell out and were all tainted by the seductive Yang-stealing fire, and were destroyed one by one. Only a lot of spirit stones, ores and other raw materials were not completely destroyed.

Fortunately, Fang Shu's thousand-year-old spiritual herb was not implicated, and a dark golden armor was shimmering with spiritual light within the opponent's remains, unaffected by the pink flames...
