Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Chen Yi manipulated the swarm of insects, secretly spreading it outwards.

However, the swarm of insects did not spread very far, and a faint sound of wind could be heard all around.

But the sound of the wind grew louder as it approached, quickly evolving into a chaotic and strange noise, while streaks of red light appeared in the darkness at the same time.

"Everyone be careful! A monster is attacking!" Chen Yi immediately warned.

He controlled the swarm of insects to rush forward immediately, detonating dozens of Azure Nether Devouring Insects.

In an instant, wisps of poisonous mist slowly formed, creating a barrier in front of Chen Yi.

By the moonlight shining through the night sky, Chen Yi could vaguely see that the attackers were bloodthirsty bats.

These bloodthirsty bats are each the size of a fist, with red eyes and teeth and claws that gleam coldly.

Thanks to the brief resistance from the poisonous fog, Wu Yifeng, Mu Yuanrong, and the others reacted immediately.

Mu Yuanrong took out several talismans from her bosom and immediately threw them out.

The talisman burst into dazzling light in mid-air, instantly affecting the swarm of bats that were attacking, and also allowing them to see the surrounding scene clearly.

Chen Yi was secretly alarmed; now, swarms of bloodthirsty bats were rushing towards them.

Without any hesitation, he immediately activated the shield talisman and the ancient bronze mirror.

The full moon shield and the talisman's glow enveloped Chen Yi almost simultaneously, and he flashed towards Wu Yifeng.

"Senior brother, let's go!" Chen Yi reminded him.

Holding a gourd of wine, Wu Yifeng spat out a mouthful of strong liquor and used magic to transform it into a raging fire that rushed forward.

"Hiss hiss hiss"

A series of burning sounds suddenly rang out, instantly burning the bats in front of them to ashes.

He immediately used his flying boat magic artifact to rush forward with Chen Yi, while turning around to remind Mu Yuanrong and the others.

Mu Yuanrong reacted quickly, and a formation plate and three formation flags floated out leisurely.

"White Cloud Illusion Array"

In an instant, bursts of white mist erupted, instantly enveloping an area of ​​twenty to thirty meters in radius.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mu Yuanrong used her flying artifact and rushed out with Chen Yi and the others.

Chen Yi frowned slightly. The arrival of the bloodthirsty bat swarm was very strange, and their numbers far exceeded the usual scale.

However, there were still many bloodthirsty bats around them, and they continued to swarm towards them.

Chen Yi immediately took out a lot of medicinal powder from his storage bag and sprinkled it on himself and Wu Yifeng, and even sprinkled a lot of medicinal powder on the flying boat.

This was specially purchased from the Treasure Pavilion; it can isolate the spiritual energy and human energy of cultivators.

Chen Yi then took out more than a dozen talismans and threw them around without hesitation.

Lightning, flames, and water erupted instantly, carving a path through the swarm of bloodthirsty bats.

Wu Yifeng turned to look at Chen Yi, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and said:

"Junior brother, you're pretty arrogant."

Chen Yi gave an awkward smile; he knew which was more important, life or spirit stones. Although these talismans were precious, he wouldn't feel bad if they could serve their purpose.

Using the talismans, the three escaped the attack of the swarm of bloodthirsty bats.

Two streaks of light flashed across the night; these were their flying magical artifacts.

Chen Yi, Wu Yifeng, and the other two rushed for more than ten miles before stopping.

Wu Yifeng dusted off his robes and took a few big gulps of wine from his gourd. Having just escaped a dangerous place, he naturally needed to drink some to calm his nerves.

Chen Yi let out a long sigh of relief and immediately dashed toward the giant tree beside him.

He rushed to the top of the giant tree and looked around. Only after confirming that there were no spirit insects or demonic beasts chasing him did he feel relieved.

Chen Yi leaped in front of Wu Yifeng and Mu Yuanrong and said:

"The surrounding area is safe, but fellow Daoists Yu Hualong and Liu Yuting, they..."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuanrong shook her head and said helplessly:

"It was too chaotic earlier and I didn't pay attention to them, but I left the White Cloud Illusion Array there."

"With their strength, they should be able to escape."

Chen Yi sighed inwardly. The number of bloodthirsty bats was too great; even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would find it difficult to withstand them.

The three became more cautious, and Chen Yi and Mu Yuanrong made some arrangements around the area.

Wu Yifeng set up a magic array, and the array barrier instantly enveloped the three of them.

Chen Yi looked around, still feeling a little uneasy.

He took out the insect-rearing bag and let the purple-winged centipede hide in the surrounding soil.

Having done all this, Chen Yi came to Wu Yifeng and the other man's side, leaned against the tree trunk, and sat cross-legged in meditation.

Chen Yi always kept a portion of his consciousness outside, so that any slight movement would bring him back to his senses.

The three had just rested for half an hour when Chen Yi suddenly opened his eyes.

The reason was simple: he sensed an aura approaching from not far away.

Chen Yi immediately alerted, "Senior brother, Miss Mu, someone's here!"

The two opened their eyes simultaneously; they hadn't been sleeping, but were simply meditating and regulating their breathing. Upon hearing Chen Yi's words, they immediately became alert to their surroundings.

Wu Yifeng was secretly shocked; he hadn't expected Chen Yi's spiritual sense to be even stronger than his own.

The next moment, a figure rushed out from the lush foliage.

Chen Yi was about to cast a protective spell with talismans and magical artifacts, but he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who it was.

"Brother Yu? You escaped!" Mu Yuanrong exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Yi secretly sized up Yu Hualong, becoming more wary.

Yu Hualong looked extremely disheveled, his clothes were tattered and stained with blood.

"Miss Mu, Yu, Yuting, she..." Yu Hualong choked up.

Chen Yi and the other two immediately realized that Liu Yuting had probably already met with misfortune.

"Brother Yu, please accept my condolences." Mu Yuanrong said in a deep voice.

A glint of light flashed in Chen Yi's eyes as he secretly observed Yu Hualong.

He always felt that these were too coincidental; they had separated and fled, yet Yu Hualong was able to find them so quickly.

Chen Yi turned to look at Wu Yifeng, about to speak and remind him, but the latter shook his head slightly at him with a slight change in expression.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yi immediately realized what was happening, and Wu Yifeng also noticed that something was wrong.

The two men walked slowly to Mu Yuanrong's side without making a sound.

Chen Yi was thinking about how to remind Mu Yuanrong, but he hadn't had the chance yet.

Yu Hualong seemed somewhat at a loss, while Mu Yuanrong was comforting him from the side.

Wu Yifeng smiled calmly, took out another wine gourd from his pocket, and handed it to Yu Hualong, saying:

"Brother Yu, please accept my condolences."

"This is wine I brewed myself. Drinking it will make you feel better."

Wu Yifeng opened the cork of the wine gourd, and a fragrant aroma of wine wafted out.

Seeing this, Yu Hualong picked up the wine gourd, thanked him, and then tilted his head back and drank a few mouthfuls.

Wu Yifeng grabbed Mu Yuanrong's arm, his expression becoming very serious.

The next moment, several wisps of black smoke rose from Yu Hualong's body. Although they were extremely faint, Chen Yi and the other two noticed them.

Without any hesitation, Wu Yifeng pulled Mu Yuanrong back.

Yu Hualong exerted force with his right hand, and the wine gourd instantly turned into dust.

He suddenly made a move, and two flying swords shot out, heading straight for Wu Yifeng and Mu Yuanrong.

The speed was so fast that the two of them couldn't react in time.

Yu Hualong suddenly opened his mouth, and two golden beams shot out instantly, transforming into two sword energies that met the attack head-on.

Two crisp "clang" sounds rang out.

Two beams of sword light instantly knocked the flying sword away.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wu Yifeng and Mu Yuanrong successfully distanced themselves from Yu Hualong.

Chen Yi's expression was icy as he instantly concealed himself in the shadows using his black cloak.

He secretly manipulated the purple-winged centipede to break through the ground and head straight for Yu Hualong in the center.
