Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 688 Evil Point
"All the ghouls are wiped out? Really?"

"How was it destroyed? Who destroyed it?"

"Before the corpse demon was destroyed, did you see anything through the corpse demon's eyes?"

A group of Chu shamans surrounded the corpse-demon shaman surnamed Zhao, asking him a barrage of questions.

Although they looked anxious, they were not panicked; instead, they were filled with a strange excitement and ecstasy.

The corpse-demon shaman surnamed Zhao, despite being injured and having all his corpses wiped out, still had a joyful expression on his face.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything. The ghouls suddenly lost contact with me and were then wiped out. I also suffered backlash damage! It happened on my way to investigate the target location."

The dozen or so Chu shamans were overjoyed upon hearing this and pressed for more information:
How far are we from our destination?

"When the ghouls were destroyed, besides suffering a backlash from the magic, what other feelings did you have?"

A flush appeared on the face of the Zhao-surnamed corpse demon shaman, a result of both the weakness caused by the backlash of the spell and the excitement and exhilaration.

He recalled and said:
"We're not far from our destination, maybe ten miles or so at most."

"Before the ghouls were completely wiped out, their malevolent aura suddenly vanished, as if stripped away by a powerful and mysterious force!"

Upon hearing this, the group of Chu shamans became even more excited, laughing and saying, "Devour the evil energy? Haha, that's right!"

"Zhao Shiguan, you have rendered a great service this time. I will definitely petition the King on your behalf to allow you to cultivate the supreme divine arts alongside the King!"

A wizard with a full head of silver hair and skin as withered as a dead tree patted the corpse wizard surnamed Zhao on the shoulder and burst into laughter.

This sorcerer, who resembled a withered tree, was the leader of this group of Chu sorcerers.

After laughing a few times, he hurriedly ordered, "You guys quickly send word that we've made a discovery here, and tell them to send people over immediately. Mark the location clearly so they don't go to the wrong place."

"Yes."

Several Chu shamans immediately obeyed the order, took out jade talismans, and chanted incantations to send a shamanic message to the Chu army's main camp.

But soon, the messenger, Chu Wu, exclaimed in alarm, his expression changing: "My lord, something's wrong! My jade talisman can't send out any shamanic messages!"

The other Chu shamans who were delivering the messages also shouted:
"mine too!"

"An unknown force is interfering with the transmission of the shamanic message!"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Chu shamans frowned at first, but after thinking for a moment, he relaxed and laughed, "Don't panic, this is a good thing. It means that the treasure land we are looking for is in this mountain, and it has already begun to undergo a qualitative change, which is why it can interfere with the transmission of shamanic messages!"

Upon hearing this explanation, the dozen or so Chu shamans nodded in unison, agreeing with it and feeling relieved, but they did not relax their vigilance.

The leading Chu shaman changed his orders: "Since the jade talisman can't transmit the message, release the shaman's pet and the swift ghost to rush back and report. Chi Xiu and Gao Yu, you two will make the trip to outside the interference zone to deliver the shaman's message."

"Leader!"

The two Chu witches whose names were called immediately stepped forward and responded with their hands clasped.

The leader, Chu Wu, carefully instructed, "You must be quick on your journey! Now that this precious land has begun to undergo a qualitative change, it will surely be noticed by the feng shui masters of Deng Kingdom. You must send the message back before the cultivators from Deng Kingdom arrive, in case things change!"

"Understood!" Gao Yu replied with a few words, crossing his hands.

Chi Xiu grinned and said, "Don't worry, boss. Don't you know Gao Yu and me? We're both famously fast!"

As he spoke, he quickly formed hand seals, casting a series of speed-enhancing and lightness spells on himself.

Gao Yu then summoned a flying magical artifact and affixed more than a dozen magical talismans with different effects to it.

The two men were indeed quick, and in a moment they were ready. After clasping their hands in farewell, one used a teleportation technique and the other used a magical artifact to rush off in the direction of the Chu army's expedition.

At the same time, the other witch beasts, swift ghosts, and paper figures released by the Chu witches also disappeared into the night, heading back to the Chu army camp via different routes to report the news.

The leader, Chu Wu, turned around and looked at the mountains and forests ahead again. He ordered, "Zhao Shiguan, you lead the way. Take us to the place where all the corpses and demons have been wiped out. We need to find this treasure land as soon as possible to make initial arrangements."

"Leader!"

The Zhao-surnamed corpse demon shaman hurriedly struggled to his feet, clasped his hands in response, and then prepared to lead the team to set off.

Suddenly, a series of soft "thump thump thump thump" sounds abruptly reached the ears of the group of Chu shamans.

The leader, Chu Wu, suddenly changed his expression and immediately turned around to look in the direction from which the soft sound came.

The same applies to the other Chu shamans.

Some people even exclaimed in surprise:

My magical beast is dead!

"My Swift Ghost has also lost its breath!"

"Someone destroyed my messenger effigy!"

They soon discovered that it wasn't just the witch beasts, rampant ghosts, and paper figures that had been killed.

Gao Yu, who had just taken flight wielding his magical artifact, plummeted from the night sky under the watchful eyes of the Chu sorcerers, his head and body severed, leaving him lifeless.

Chi Xiu, who had left using Earth Release, remained silent.

But Gao Yu is dead, so he certainly won't escape it either!
The leader, Chu Wu, stomped his foot on the ground, releasing several streams of witchcraft energy that then disappeared into the ground.

It was soon discovered that Chi Xiu's escape technique had been broken, and he was stuck underground, unable to move.

Not only that, the surrounding mud and rocks were also frantically squeezing Chi Xiu's body.

His facial features were squeezed and deformed, his internal organs were all ruptured, and his eyeballs bulged out strangely, like a dead toad.

This series of unexpected events made the leader, Chu Wu, unable to laugh anymore.

At this point, he finally understood that his earlier judgment was wrong. The flying zombies and evil spirits of Zhao Shiguan hadn't been corrupted by the sacred land at all; they had been deliberately destroyed!
Who dared to ambush them without them noticing?

The leader, Chu Wu, had a gloomy expression. He made a spell, unleashing his full witch energy, which spread outwards to search the surrounding area.

However, they found nothing and were unable to locate the enemy.

The leader, Chu Wu, was greatly alarmed. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Who is this master here? Please show yourself!"

He hid his hands in his sleeves, his left hand forming a spell, while his right hand held a magic artifact shaped like a mace.

Once the attackers appear or make a sound, it's easy to take action and catch them off guard!
However, in the pitch black surroundings, there was no one in sight, nor any sound in response to his question.

Instead, a beam of five-colored light suddenly shone and shone on them.

The group of Chu witches immediately felt their internal witch energy disrupted, their internal organs ached, and their life force rapidly diminished.

They were all discerning people and immediately recognized the power of the five-colored light.

"It's the Five Signs of Decay and Bloodlust!"

"This is the signature move of Yin Shu, a cultivator from the Jiang Kingdom! Could it be that the one who came here to ambush us was a cultivator from the Jiang Kingdom?!"

"Why would cultivators from the Jiang Kingdom come here? And why are they opposing us? Have they also set their sights on this treasure land?"

The Chu shamans were terrified.

They clearly knew the power of the Five Signs of Decay, and hurriedly activated their witchcraft to protect their internal organs and resist the pollution and invasion of the Five Signs of Decay's blood and evil spirits.

The leader, Chu Wu, suddenly swung his hands out.

The hand seal formed by his left hand shot out a black beam that surged in the night sky, transforming into a ferocious giant python.

The mace-shaped magical artifact in her right hand bloomed like a flower. However, from within the flower's stamen flew a barrage of poisonous needles imbued with extremely powerful curses, raining down on the direction from which the five-colored light had been shot.

At the same time, he roared, "Enemy sighted! Follow me and kill the thieves quickly!"

The other dozen or so Chu witches reacted extremely quickly, each immediately unleashing their strongest killing moves, blasting towards the source of the Five Decays Blood Fiend.

"Boom boom boom..."

This wave of magical attacks was swift and fierce, instantly leveling all the trees along the way and completely razing the hillside where the five-colored light had been radiating to the ground. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Several strong and sturdy soldiers immediately raised their shields and longswords and rushed towards the leveled hillside.

They were afraid that the enemy might dodge their attack, or that they might not be killed, and that they would have to finish them off.

Several sorcerers, beast sorcerers, and ghost sorcerers released all sorts of strange and ferocious-looking worms, sorcerer beasts, and rampant ghosts to assist them.

The leading Chu shaman gestured repeatedly, instructing the remaining Chu shamans to disperse and surround the hilltop that had been leveled.

He roared and ordered, "Continue casting the spell! We must find them alive or dead! We cannot let the thieves who attacked us escape!"

"Yes!"

The Chu shamans accepted the order in unison and quickly dispersed.

At that very moment, they suddenly heard a strange melody.

It sounded like someone was playing a folk song, the melody was very mysterious, like a Nuo song.

Chu Wu's expression changed drastically, and he urgently warned, "Be careful, the thieves have accomplices!"

But a Chu shaman, skilled in Nuo magic, sneered and mocked: "They want to summon the gods with Nuo songs? Heh heh, don't be afraid. For thieves to summon the gods at this time is no different from courting death! I think they're desperate and don't care about their own lives."

The leader, Chu Wu, had the highest cultivation level and the fastest reaction.

The moment the mysterious song began, he felt the witch power within him, polluted by the Five Decays Blood Fiend, sink into an even deeper level of chaos, to the point that he could hardly suppress it.

There's something strange about the folk song!
His expression changed drastically, and he urgently warned, "Everyone, be careful..."

But as soon as they finished speaking, thirty-six command flags flew out from the darkness and surrounded them in a formation resembling the Heavenly Gang.

Streams of blood-red energy flew out from the thirty-six command flags, transforming into raging blood swords that crashed down upon them with the force of thunder!

These command flags arrived extremely suddenly. The strangest thing was that, apart from the leader Chu Wu and a few other people with higher cultivation levels who saw them, the rest of the Chu Wu were completely unaware of them.

They were instantly struck and killed.

"Puff puff……"

Amidst the deadly sound, Chu Wu was pierced through the chest by a blood sword, his heart shattered.

A Chu witch had her head severed, and her head, still flying in mid-air, had her eyes wide open, filled with shock and disbelief.

Chu Wu was cleaved in two, his blood and internal organs spilling onto the ground...

In a mere instant, most of the dozen or so Chu shamans were dead.

Only a few people with higher cultivation levels survived by sheer luck.

But even with the Blood Fiend Banner surrounding them, the offensive did not stop.

One wave passes, another rises!
And the light of the Five Decays Blood Fiends shone brightly once more.

Clearly, their attack just now, though seemingly fierce, failed to damage the Celestial Decay Mirror.

"go!"

The leader of the Chu shamans shouted loudly, no longer daring to resist.

His magical power had already been weakened by the Mirror of Decay of Heaven and Man. And the strange melody echoing in the night sky continued to pollute his mind and magical power.

In this state, he had to divide his attention and effort to suppress it, and could not use up 60% of his cultivation.

The clash with the blood swords just now had already forced him into a frantic state, and he had to use all his strength to barely withstand them.

He didn't believe he could withstand any more or stronger blood-fiend sword energy!
If you don't run away quickly, you'll either be killed by these bloodthirsty sword energies, or you'll be unable to suppress the corrupted witch power in your body, suffer a backlash, go into a demonic state, and die suddenly!
The same applies to the other Chu shamans.

So without the slightest hesitation, they immediately followed their leader, Chu Wu, and charged in the same direction, trying to concentrate their strength to break through the encirclement.

But after only a few steps, he couldn't move anymore.

At this moment, the surrounding mountains and rivers seemed to suddenly "come alive," releasing a huge force field that pressed down on them, making them feel as if they were carrying mountains, and each step required a great deal of effort.

The faces of the surviving Chu witches turned deathly pale instantly.

They couldn't understand who could so silently manipulate the power of the mountains!

Even if it's a feng shui formation, it shouldn't be done so suddenly, leaving them completely unaware!
They inwardly cried out in alarm, but at the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the enemy must have thought they were still useful and wanted to interrogate them because they had suppressed them with the power of mountains.

This is their last chance.

If used properly, it can not only save your life but also help you remember the attacker's appearance and take revenge later.

However, just as the Chu witches were exchanging glances, a sharp, piercing sound suddenly exploded in the darkness.

"Om-"

A bolt of blood-red lightning appeared in the night sky, hurtling towards them at an incredible speed!

This blood lightning bolt was different from theirs; it was completely unaffected by the power of the mountains and flew close in an instant.

Only then did the Chu shamans realize that this blood lightning bolt was actually a shaman's sword that was entirely blood red!

The blade not only exuded a menacing sharpness, but also a strong bloodthirsty desire!
It's the desire of this witch's sword!
"not good!"

The Chu sorcerers were horrified and immediately realized they were wrong.

The people who attacked them had no intention of sparing their lives, nor did they plan to interrogate them.

This is to kill them and perform the soul-searching ritual!

Several Chu shamans tried to beg for mercy, but the immense pressure from the mountains and the sharp blade energy made it impossible for them to speak or utter a sound.

"Shh-"

A blood-red blade flashed past, instantly severing the heads of several Chu witches. The blood that had just gushed out was immediately absorbed by the witch's blade, causing the Ice Crystal Blue Lotus and the Calamity Lamp to release their discontent.

The witch power and malevolent aura on the Chu witches were completely devoured by the Heavenly Decay Mirror and the Blood Fiend Banner.

As for the souls of these Chu witches, they were all sucked into the floating banner in mid-air, and not a single one escaped.

Wearing the mask of the mountain spirit, Shang Lu finally emerged into the night at this moment.

He was very satisfied with the power of the treasures.

In the past, if he had encountered this group of Chu witches, he would have run as far away as possible and would not have dared to run into them, let alone fight them.

But now he doesn't even need to make a move; the magical artifacts in his hands are enough to wipe out this entire group of Chu witches.

Things are truly different now.

As soon as the battle ended, the little black fox emerged from its hiding place.

Without Shang Lu's command, it obediently searched the corpses and took out all the witchcraft tools, pills, talismans, money, and other items carried by these Chu witches.

The little black fox was very clever. Although it was filled with longing, it did not act rashly. It placed all the spoils it found in front of Shang Lu, and squatted down beside him, wagging its fluffy tail like a rattle drum.

With a wave of his hand, Shang Lu collected all these things into the Impermanence Token, intending to examine them in detail later.

He simply selected a box of spirit fat that seemed to be fine from the pills and tossed it to the little black fox.

The little black fox leaped up and snatched the box of spirit oil in its mouth, its tail wagging even more happily.

Seeing that it skillfully pried open the box lid with its paws, Shang Lu reminded it, "One bite a day, then you can practice your skills. Don't be greedy and eat too much, otherwise you won't be able to refine it and will suffer the consequences."

The little black fox originally intended to swallow all the spirit oil in the box, but after hearing Shang Lu's words, it suppressed its urge to eat it all. It only took a sip of the spirit oil, then closed the lid with its little paws and began to cultivate on the spot.

At that moment, San Niang put away the bamboo banner, floated to Shang Lu's side, and said, "We found out. These Chu shamans came for the evil acupoint."
