Chapter 613 Taoist Soldiers
The next day, evening.

The ice cave was brightly lit, and several ape-like monsters, three or four meters tall and covered in white fur, were thrown into the bottomless pool one after another.

Chen Mu stood to the side, carefully sensing the essence stored inside.

"In the end, the time was still too short," he sighed, shaking his head.

The number of ghostly monsters who control the Yellow Springs Crossing is only slightly over three thousand.

The positions of the six Crimson Feather Swords, which could be determined as the landing points of the Gate of Hell, were only half calculated.

“If I had another half month, I could have left this cave with ease. It’s a pity…” Chen Mu glanced at Lian Xi beside him with an unfriendly expression.

Lianxi's heart tightened.

Is this guy trying to kill me to vent his anger?

He quickly bowed and clasped his hands in apology: "It was my greed for the Dragon Ball's magic that caused you such trouble, sir. Please forgive me."

"If you know you're guilty, then find a way to delay things for a few more days!" Chen Mu couldn't help but glare at the other party.

That's what he said, but he knew in his heart that the treasure was captivating. Even without Lian Xi's attack, there might have been Zhang Xi or Li Xi instead.

He had already made a basic determination after only a brief inquiry yesterday. The two silvery-white streams that had entered the unexpected situation were the so-called Dragon Ball Spiritual Mechanism. Qiu Jinwu sold the entire Goose and Sheep Path just for this thing.

If it weren't for the Absolute Stone concealing their presence, and if the Dragon Balls themselves weren't so magical, it might have been Akijin Gou who came instead of Lianxi.

Lianxi felt her scalp tingle from the glare and hurriedly explained, "If it were anyone else, I could delay for another three to five days, but the other party is Qiu Jinwu, who has reached the peak of his Dao Foundation, this..."

This is really asking the impossible.

"With your meager skills, you dare to steal Qiu Jinwu's opportunity?" Chen Mu sneered.

"I was blinded by greed." Lianxi immediately lowered her head in embarrassment and admitted her mistake, but she couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart.

Son of a bitch!
When the Spirit Lord arrives, see how I deal with you!
Just as he was secretly plotting a vicious scheme, he looked up and met a pair of piercing eyes.

"Are you cursing me in your heart?" Chen Mu asked suspiciously.

Lianxi felt a chill run down her spine and quickly put on a terrified expression to show her loyalty: "I am only grateful that you spared my life, sir. How could I dare to be disrespectful to you?"

"That would be for the best!" Chen Mu snorted and looked away.

"Speaking of which, I should thank you."

"If you hadn't shown up, I wouldn't have known that I had offended Akijingo."

Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined; there's no such thing as a free lunch. The Dragon Balls, appearing out of nowhere, inadvertently attracted the formidable enemy, Akio Kingo.

"What do you think if I voluntarily return the Dragon Ball to him?" Chen Mu looked at Lian Xi hesitantly.

Not good!

If you give him the Dragon Ball secret, how can I secretly keep the secret?

“Master Qiu is a rather suspicious person,” Lianxi replied indirectly after a moment’s thought.

"You mean, to ensure secrecy, he would kill someone to cover it up?"

"It's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free; this is a principle that important people have always believed in."

"Tsk!" Chen Mu clicked his tongue with a sour face.

“You can’t entrust your life to someone else’s kindness, sir.” Lianxi advised earnestly, “The longer it goes on, the more things can go wrong. Three days is long enough. If it drags on any longer, it may be unfavorable.”

“You’re right.” Chen Mu nodded in agreement. “Why don’t we leave now?”

"Now...now?" Lianxi was a little confused.

"Isn't it two days from now? If we move through the void without proper preparation, people could die."

"How about we wait another day?" Lianxi suggested cautiously.

If we wait just one more day, the Spirit Lord will surely find this place!
"I'm not waiting any longer." Chen Mu waved his hand dismissively.

"I didn't want to leave today, but thanks to you for reminding me." He said with a look of appreciation.

"The saying 'the longer the night, the more dreams' really resonates with me. Let's go, let's leave right now!" Chen Mu looked at Lian Xi with an expression of kindred spirit.

Lianxi: "..."

……

Late at night.

All those who went out on the Pingning returned.

Inside the Xiaoji Lei Hall, Chen Mu carefully gave Lei Cheng instructions.

"Later I will focus on presiding over the Shrinking Earth and Moving Technique, so you will still be in charge of piloting the Water-Avoiding Shuttle."

"Once you receive my signal, you must immediately activate the water-repelling shuttle without hesitation."

Opening the gates of hell is quite a commotion. If we're even a step too slow and Qiu Jinwu notices and comes after us, that would be disastrous.

"Yes, sir!" Lei Cheng solemnly clasped his hands in agreement.

"As for you..." Chen Mu looked at Lian Xi again.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely behave myself and will never hold anyone back," Lianxi quickly assured him.

"I do not believe."

Lianxi: "..."

"You should go stay in the dark room." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a vortex of black mist appeared, and the gates of Thousand Lantern City opened.

Seeing the constantly swirling black smoke, Lian Xi's expression changed drastically.

Who the hell knows where this black fog leads?

But seeing Chen Mu's indifferent eyes, he dared not hesitate and immediately stepped into Thousand Lantern City.

Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

If it weren't for wanting to understand the root of talent, the Dragon Ball's spiritual potential, and the inside story of the previous Goose-Sheep Path incident, Lianxi wouldn't be entering Thousand Lantern City right now, but rather the Five Ghosts Bag. After instructing Lei Cheng to wait in the secret chamber of the Small Thunder Accumulation Hall, Chen Mu turned and escaped from the Water-Avoiding Shuttle, standing atop the enormous tortoise shell.

He took off the Five Ghosts Bag from his waist and opened the black drawstring on it.

Puff puff!
The three thousand vengeful spirits transformed into streaks of black shadows, swiftly bursting out of the Five Ghost Bags and instantly forming a black cloud in front of the Water-Avoiding Shuttle.

Chen Mu took a deep breath and activated the Mountain-Carrying Sutra.

Using the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed as a link, the three thousand Yin Soul Monsters instantly twisted into one, and a massive amount of Yin Spirit divine power surged forth.

hum!
The massive black cloud rapidly transformed, and a huge archway-shaped portal instantly appeared in mid-air.

"It's done!"

Chen Mu was overjoyed.

This is precisely the Gate of Hell, a place where one can move through the void!

The difference is that the door frame, which was originally made of gray-white Forgotten River Stone, is now entirely made of thick, oily black smoke.

Strange, dark faces appeared one after another on the black smoke-filled door frame. Their mouths opened and closed, silently howling.

"It looks a bit weird, but the effect is exactly the same."

"After being stranded here for nearly two months, we are finally able to escape."

Chen Mu was overjoyed and was about to notify Lei Cheng to activate the water-avoiding shuttle.

hum!
An invisible force suddenly descended, instantly enveloping the gates of hell.

In just a few breaths, the door formed by the black mist developed dents like fishing nets.

As time went on, the invisible force intensified, and the net-like tearing indentations deepened, as if to shatter the gates of hell.

City God Temple?

The Heavenly River Dharma Realm has been sealed off by an inescapable net?!

That damned Lianxi, how dare she conceal such important information!

Chen Mu wanted nothing more than to drag Lian Xi out and tear her to pieces, but he had to take a deep breath and forcefully suppress his anger.

"With such a commotion at the Gates of Hell and the Net of Heaven, it's possible that others have already been alerted. We must leave this place immediately!"

A net of heaven and earth, a city god's sacred site, a living deity...

In a flash, Chen Mu immediately mobilized the power of the Yin Spirit.

Lingbao Cardinal!

This is a secret method that every living deity must learn, which can be used to infiltrate the restrictions of the City God's ritual.

As the secret technique unfolded, countless invisible threads suddenly appeared before our eyes.

Chen Mu used the power of the Yin spirit to attach himself to the net, and his mind quickly sank into the net of heaven and earth.

The next moment, like the stars in the night sky, a pattern composed of countless bright spots suddenly appeared in my mind.

At the center of this starry pattern, seven shimmering highlights immediately caught Chen Mu's attention.

The Seven Wushan Brothers?
The Seven Sons United by Heart Gu?!

Lu Kushang and his seven companions were indeed in this grotto-heaven!

He had sensed the aura of the Seven Sons United Gu before and guessed that the group had been captured by the Lock Dragon Academy and buried here.

The starry pattern before him undoubtedly confirmed his guess.

"Judging from the situation, these seven people seem to have been made into the core veins of the City God's Taoist temple!" Chen Mu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

The star patterns are the exquisite pulse points, and each pulse point contains a Qi cultivator. The power of the City God's temple is transmitted entirely through these pulse points.

The best way to destroy the power of the City God's temple is to dig it out and destroy it before the Linglong Vein Point is completely integrated into the earth's veins.

"What if we directly poach the seven Wushan brothers from the core?"

Chen Mu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

"Including the time at Ganhe Lower Academy, the people from Daqian Lock Dragon Academy have arrested me twice already."

"Then I'll give a small response; I'm sure they won't mind."

Seven Souls Dao Soldier!

The Perfect Union Mantra, which had not been used for a long time, was activated at full power. The Union Rope used to tie hair suddenly shot into the sky.

The thick black rope suddenly dispersed into countless black threads, weaving and intertwining, instantly transforming into a pitch-black umbrella with a diameter of four or five meters.

buzzing...

Accompanied by continuous tremors, seven finger-thick black vines spread out from under the black umbrella. Immediately, their ends bulged rapidly, and seven fist-sized black gourds quickly expanded and appeared.

Just as the seven gourds were fully formed, the bright star map in Chen Mu's mind suddenly collapsed. No matter how much he activated the Spirit Treasure Core Chapter, he could no longer probe into the power of the Dao field.

The net that had enveloped the Gates of Hell in mid-air vanished silently in an instant.

"It's done!"

"Ha ha!"

The Seven Souls Dao Soldier is the strongest ability of the Heart-to-Heart Curse, which can forcibly transform the host of the Seven Sons Heart-to-Heart Gu into a Dao Soldier.

He just used this opportunity to pull the seven Wu brothers out of the City God's temple, effectively cutting off the temple's resources.

With the core energy point gone, the power of the dojo collapsed instantly!
"set off!"

Chen Mu laughed and reached out to scoop the seven gourds into the Five Ghosts Bag, then immediately cast a spell to notify Lei Cheng.

The water-avoiding shuttle suddenly burst into a burst of lightning, roared off the ground, and crashed into the Gates of Hell in mid-air.
