Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

After the agreement was reached, Chen Yuan and Daoist Cangsong set off for the Red Ridge Mountains, while Qin Wuyai and Lu Wangquan remained there to wait.

The young scholar guessed correctly; Chen Yuan had already removed the blood-veined Gu from the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Serpent God Sect and killed the two stubborn individuals on the spot.

However, Chen Yuan did not plant the Fire Lotus Mark in their bodies. Each time a mark was planted, the burden on Chen Yuan's soul would increase.

Although Chen Yuan's soul could easily withstand even a dozen more imprints, he was still capable of bearing them.

But naturally he wouldn't reveal all his cards, so he deliberately acted as if he was about to collapse in front of the three of them.

That's why he only allowed the Snake God Cult cultivators to remain in Yanling City instead of coming to besiege the Red Ridge Mountains.

Unlike the Wolf God Cult cultivators, Lü Qiao and the others had the Fire Lotus Mark implanted in their bodies, and the Howling Moon Silver Wolf Clan had already been wiped out. Other cultivators were intimidated and had nowhere to go, so they dared not harbor any disloyal thoughts.

However, the Five Elements Formation of the Red Ridge Mountains remains stable. If these Snake God Cult cultivators were to participate in the siege, some might waver and defect at the last minute.

Chen Yuan and Cangsong Daoist returned to a place dozens of miles away from the Red Ridge Mountains, where they stopped and spread their divine senses to cover the entire Five Elements Formation, waiting for the Blood-Eyed Spirit Serpent clan's demon generals to break through.

The two concealed their auras, and with the great formation blocking their way, She Zhelin was unable to detect their presence.

Such a short distance also allowed the two to immediately take action and block the demon general who was calling for help.

It was already dusk, but the siege by the human Nascent Soul cultivators had not stopped.

Various colored lights illuminated the dim sky, and the sounds of magical powers and magical treasures clashing with the five elements could be heard for miles. The wild beasts nearby were terrified and fled into the distance.

The Blood-Eyed Serpent Clan remained silent, with only a few demon generals scattered around the mountain range, nervously watching the Nascent Soul cultivators unleash their magical powers and treasures to fiercely attack the great formation.

But the formation remained unbreakable, so they relaxed and began to mock them.

Among the mountains, there were many blood-eyed spirit snakes that had not yet taken human form, as well as some low-level cultivators with blood-red eyes, who looked up at the battle in the sky with expressions of amazement.

But they quickly disappeared under the demon general's rebuke, presumably having returned to their cave.

Chen Yuan and Cangsong Daoist waited all night, and the offensive of the human Nascent Soul cultivators weakened somewhat compared to yesterday.

Despite relentless attacks, they saw no progress whatsoever, and their morale inevitably began to wane.

As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell upon the earth, a slight change finally appeared in the quiet Red Ridge Mountains within the array.

Dozens of streaks of light shot into the sky, and the demon general of the Blood-Eyed Serpent clan reappeared behind the array.
The old pine Taoist, standing with his hands behind his back in the sky, flashed his eyes and slowly said, "It seems that it is time for us to make our move."

Chen Yuan nodded, and the two of them rode their escape light towards the Crimson Ridge Mountains. Within a few dozen breaths, they traversed dozens of miles and arrived in front of the Five Elements Grand Array.

Chen Yuan adopted a cold and arrogant expression, even exuding a sense of superiority.

The elders of the Tai Xuan Sect should be even more powerful than the demon race.

Upon seeing the two arrive, everyone clasped their hands in a respectful greeting.

Chen Yuan casually waved his hand, looking at She Zhelin from a distance of a thousand feet, through the supernatural light and the five elements' strange phenomena, and said indifferently, "What has your consideration been, sir?"

"If you surrender now, I guarantee that I will not take your life, and the Blood-Eyed Serpent Clan can also be preserved."

"Since you know about the ancient times, you should know that we cultivators in the human realm have always been kind, benevolent, and tolerant."

"As long as the Blood-Eyed Serpent Clan remains loyal, they will not only be spared the fear of being wiped out, but will also receive many rewards."

She Zhelin sneered: "Generosity and benevolence? You still want to plant a restriction on our souls, making us serve as the spirit beasts of your human cultivators."

Chen Yuan said calmly, "Being able to serve as a spirit beast is already a great act of kindness. I wouldn't even look at someone with mediocre bloodline."

"Only the Blood-Eyed Spirit Serpent with the purest bloodline can have a soul restriction implanted within its body."

"These demon generals should be executed even if they surrender."

"Those blood-eyed spirit snakes with mixed bloodlines cannot be allowed to live either."

He casually pointed to the demon generals of those subordinate tribes, his tone very cold.

The demon generals, who had been on duty all night, immediately turned pale.

She Zhelin laughed in anger, now somewhat believing that what Xinghuo Zhenren said was probably true.

This person is so arrogant and domineering, he is very similar to the elder of the Tai Xuan Sect recorded by our ancestors in the jade slip.

She Zhelin didn't want to say much, but turned to look at a high-ranking demon general beside him who was willing to go out to seek help, and whispered, "Activate the talisman quickly and don't linger. If human cultivators make a move, I will protect you."

The high-ranking demon general immediately agreed, his expression solemn.

She Zhelin turned and flew towards the array, with the demon general following closely behind.

Chen Yuan suddenly spoke up: "Stop!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of all the human cultivators, who immediately stopped fighting and retreated.

The magical artifact flew back, its supernatural power dissipated, and the five elements phenomenon of the great formation also weakened considerably.

The demon generals arrived at the edge of the array. She Zhelin flicked his sleeve, revealing a passage. He immediately flew out, followed closely by the young scholar and the two high-ranking demon generals.

The other demon generals remained within the formation, their eyes filled with tension.

The Taoist Cangsong's eyes sharpened. He made a hand seal with his left hand, and a point of azure spiritual light appeared at the tip of his right finger. It moved like a dragon and snake, drawing talismans in the void. Wood-elemental spiritual energy surged in, and nine emerald green spears quickly condensed into shape.

Chen Yuan remained motionless, but a sealing force had quietly spread out, locking down an area of ​​a hundred miles, preventing anyone from using teleportation.

A high-ranking demon general flipped his hand and took out a talisman. Demonic power surged out wildly, and a strange fluctuation spread out.

She Zhelin stood in front of the three, his face full of vigilance, looking at Chen Yuan and Cangsong Daoist.

The Taoist Cangsong snorted coldly, pointed his finger, and shouted, "Go!"

Nine emerald green spears shot out with a loud whistling sound, the five elements' strange phenomena surged again, meteorites fell from the sky, tree people roared, rivers churned, and flying swords rained down.

However, these five elemental phenomena that easily blocked the attack of dozens of human Nascent Soul cultivators were easily pierced by the nine emerald green spears.

Only three spears were destroyed; the other six remained sharp and continued to shoot at She Zhelin and his companions.

Chen Yuan followed suit, raising his hand and throwing out four Kunyu short arrows, which transformed into four faint black rays, flying out after the six emerald green spears.

The three young scholars' expressions changed drastically; the methods of a Nascent Soul cultivator were far beyond their ability to withstand.

She Zhelin frowned. The aura of the four Kunyu short arrows was extremely familiar to him, and they were definitely related to the Kunyu clan.

His blood-red eyes suddenly lit up, as bright as blood, and he made no other move, nor did he try to dodge. Under everyone's watchful eyes, six emerald green spears and four faint black rays struck She Zhelin's body, but strangely they passed right through him, also passing through the three young scholars behind him, and hitting the array.

Several cracks appeared on the array, but they were quickly repaired by a surge of rich spiritual energy.

A sea of ​​fire appeared out of nowhere, engulfing the six emerald spears. The fire elemental energy and the wood elemental energy collided and annihilated each other, disappearing together.

The four Kunyu short arrows were not Five Elements magic weapons and were not restrained by the Five Elements Grand Array. Only the sharp sword rain formed by the metal element spiritual energy shot out and blocked them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the talisman in the high-level demon general's hand began to burn, and that strange fluctuation became more and more obvious, which was clearly a spatial fluctuation.

The Taoist Cangsong's face darkened. He changed the hand seal with his left hand and drew a talisman in the air with his right hand. Wood element spiritual energy surged in, transforming into green leaves that covered an area of ​​several miles before falling down.

She Zhelin flipped his hand and took out a delicate array plate. He pointed at it, and the sea of ​​fire expanded, with blazing flames rising up and rushing towards it.

He began to personally control the Five Elements Universe Array, and the power of the Five Elements Phenomena increased accordingly.

Green leaves fell into the sea of ​​fire, quickly withered, and turned into ashes.

If it were just She Zhelin and Cangsong Daoren fighting, it would take them at least a lot of effort to neutralize this supernatural power.

However, with the power of the Five Elements Universe Array and relying on the giant spiritual vein, it was an easy task.

This is the power of an array. Although it consumes a lot of resources and the array flags and array plates are not easy to refine, it can enable a demon general to block several times his number of cultivators of the same level.

At the same time, the talisman in the high-ranking demon general's hand had turned to ashes. With a flash of light, the three figures disappeared from the spot, their whereabouts unknown.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes. He wondered what the origin of this talisman was, that it could ignore the sealing power of a Nascent Soul cultivator and allow the three demon generals to escape.

He kept his divine sense spread out, covering an area of ​​two thousand miles, but he did not see the figures of the three demon generals.

This talisman can not only ignore the power of sealing, but also has an extremely long teleportation distance.

The Taoist Cangsong's expression changed slightly: "The Heavenly Edge Talisman?"

She Zhelin coldly replied, "Indeed, it is the Tianya Talisman."

"They have already sought help from the three races of Jiaolong, Kunyu, and Shuanglie Xiong. If you know what's good for you, it's not too late to retreat now."

"Otherwise, when the three clans come to your aid, you will all be doomed."

He still wanted to first relieve the siege of the Blood-Eyed Serpent Clan, and then deal with these two Nascent Soul cultivators slowly later.

Chen Yuan said calmly, "What is there to fear from a mere monster?"

She Zhelin sneered, "Since that's the case, then you may all wait here to die!"

After saying that, he turned around and flew back into the Five Elements Universe Array, and the passage disappeared.

He would not fight the two of them before Ao Cang and the other two arrived, as it would be a waste of his demonic power.

Chen Yuan remained arrogant, but secretly transmitted his voice to Daoist Cangsong: "May I ask, fellow Daoist, what is this Tianya Talisman?"

Daoist Cangsong replied telepathically, "The Tianya Talisman is an ancient Nascent Soul stage talisman that can ignore the power of sealing and teleport people thousands of miles away. It was extremely rare in ancient times and has long been lost."

“Our sect once had a Tianya Talisman, which was used by the then sect leader more than 6,000 years ago. However, some records have been passed down, which is why I was able to recognize this talisman.”

"I never expected that She Zhelin would have a Tianya Talisman. Those three demon generals are already thousands of miles away, beyond our reach."

Upon hearing this, Chen's heart sank: "Is there a way to limit the Heavenly Horizon Talisman?"

"Since She Zhelin was willing to let the demon generals of his clan use the Tianya Talisman to go out and seek help, he probably has more than one."

"He's not leaving now because he thinks we can't break through this Five Elements Formation."

"If we break through the great formation, She Zhelin will not dare to linger and will use this talisman to escape. Are we just supposed to sit and watch him flee far away?"

After pondering for a moment, Daoist Cangsong replied telepathically, "The Heavenly Edge Talisman is not without its limitations, but the sealing power of a Nascent Soul cultivator is far from sufficient. At the very least, a Void Refinement cultivator will be needed to intervene."

Chen Yuan's heart stirred: "We don't necessarily need to render the Heavenly Edge Talisman ineffective; we only need to shorten its teleportation distance so that She Zhelin cannot escape. Do you have a solution, fellow Daoist?"

Daoist Cangsong hesitated for a moment before replying, "We can let Fellow Daoist Qin give it a try. He is a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and the sealing power he unleashes is stronger, which can shorten the teleportation distance of the Heavenly Edge Talisman."

"Fellow Daoist, you have refined the Kunpeng's true blood and are proficient in the way of space. If you exert your full strength, it should also be effective."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, looking at the group of demon generals in the great formation who were full of excitement, as well as She Zhelin who was sneering, and transmitted his voice: "I will summon Fellow Daoist Qin and Fellow Daoist Lu here to break the formation."

Daoist Cangsong was taken aback and transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoist, are you able to restrict the teleportation of the Heavenly Edge Talisman?"

Chen Yuan said, "I already have a plan."

The Taoist Cangsong looked at him with some skepticism, but didn't ask any more questions; he simply nodded.

Chen Yuan immediately turned and flew away.

To prevent She Zhelin from discovering Qin Wuyai and Lu Wangquan's whereabouts, that peculiar solitary peak was located about 1,300 li away from the Chiling Mountains.

Chen Yuan's divine sense could cover two thousand miles, but of course he would not reveal it in front of the three of them. Therefore, he needed to fly three hundred miles away first before transmitting his voice to the two of them.

When She Zhelin saw Xinghuo Zhenren retreat, he assumed that Xinghuo Zhenren was afraid, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

But the white-haired old Taoist priest remained where he was, which puzzled him. He asked, "Do you intend to wait here to die alone?"

The Taoist Cangsong ignored him completely and simply stared at him coldly.

Having made a fool of himself, She Zhelin sneered and said nothing more, but did not leave as he had the day before.

With a Nascent Soul cultivator spying from the outside, he naturally had to be on guard at all times.

A quarter of an hour later, Master Xinghuo reappeared in the distance, accompanied by two other figures. They quickly arrived a thousand feet away from the great formation and stopped.

She Zhelin frowned as he looked at the old man in black robes and the handsome young man. Just as he was about to speak, Xinghuo Zhenren coldly said, "I would like to ask the three of you to make the first move."

Fellow?

She Zhelin was startled, but before he could react, two powerful pressures erupted from the black-robed old man and the handsome young man, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

She Zhelin's blood-red pupils contracted. There were two more Nascent Soul cultivators. No, why was the black-robed old man's aura so powerful? Could he be a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator?
The demon generals behind him all looked dazed, while the Nascent Soul cultivators who already knew the inside story were in high spirits.

Daoist Cangsong flipped his hand and took out a talisman in four colors: blue, white, red, and yellow. He raised his hand to form a hand seal and chanted incantations.

She Zhelin took a deep breath and suddenly turned to look at the Grand Elder: "Quickly capture Yin Hui!" (End of Chapter)
