Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 273 Returning with a Full Load
The silkworm leader's body was covered in blood and flesh. Song Xian flipped his hand, and a blood-shadow ghost shot out from the black banner, came to the monster, bared its fangs, and bit it.

The monster had been severely injured by the Netherworld's cold flames and had no power to resist. It could only allow the ghosts to suck its flesh and blood, and in the end, only a skeleton was left.

After the death of the silkworm leader, the low-level monsters immediately became a mess. Some fled in all directions, while others sprayed black mucus at Song Xian.

After dealing with the stubbornly resisting low-level silkworm monster, Song Xian walked into the cave again. Since there were monsters here, there might be some treasures.

He walked along the cave and saw a dark green pond with swaying four-colored lotus flowers. The largest lotus was about six or seven feet long, with a bright red, round fruit on it.

The fruit is oval in shape, with an eye in the middle, shaped like an apple, and exudes a strange fragrance.

Song Xian flashed to the lotus flower, carefully picked up the fiery red and round fruit, looked at it carefully, and confirmed that it was the Dragon Snake Fruit.

The Dragon Snake Fruit takes a hundred years to mature and can help monsters increase their cultivation, especially for low-level monsters at the Qi Refining level, the effect is significant.

This dragon snake fruit looked not yet fully ripe, so the monsters in the cave did not eat it.

A fully ripe dragon snake fruit should have three eyes.

All those monsters gathered in this cave, probably to guard the dragon snake fruit.

No wonder the silkworm leader chased him all the way, as if they had a grudge against him. He must have mistaken him for an intruder trying to steal the dragon snake fruit.

Song Xian originally just wanted to come in and hide for a while, but he didn't expect to get this thing by accident.

It is true that after searching for it everywhere, it finally came to me without any effort.

This thing can be fed to his spiritual beast, the Golden Ant. After so many years of careful breeding, the Golden Ant has now been promoted to a third-level monster. If it eats this dragon snake fruit, it may have a chance to become a fourth-level spiritual beast.

If the golden-armored ant could become a foundation-building spiritual beast, it would be of great help to him.

Thinking of this, Song Xian was very happy.

I have to say that I was really lucky on this trip to the forbidden area.

First, he encountered a toad monster fighting with a monk, which allowed him to obtain the Zhixuecao.

Later, he encountered monks fighting each other, which made him take advantage of the situation and took the Rejuvenating Pill and the Soul-Nourishing Wood with almost no effort.

Now, he broke into the lair of the silkworm monster for no reason and got the dragon snake fruit.

Although these elixirs are of no direct help to cultivation, they are all very popular and rare items in the cultivation world. Any one of them would be snatched up in Bianxi City.

After a while of joy, Song Xian returned to the cave entrance. He first pulled down the vines to cover the cave entrance tightly, and then blocked the entrance with stones.

In this way, even if someone discovers this cave, they will not rush in without knowing the situation.

Blocking the entrance with stones means that there is someone inside. Without knowing the strength of the other party and being sure whether there are treasures inside, most people will not risk a fight and enter.

.........

In the depths of a remote and dense forest, a dazzling black light shot straight into the sky. In mid-air, a huge black sword dropped from the sky and pierced directly into the head of a giant black snake. With a loud bang, the giant snake fell to the ground.

A tall and handsome man appeared beside the snake's body and pulled out the black sword that was stuck in the snake's head.

A Pu stood aside, his expression slightly changed: "Black Scale Sword, isn't that his magic weapon? He actually gave it to you, it seems he still trusts you very much."

"Hmph! Do you think the old thief will hand this treasure over to me?" The handsome man snorted coldly and put the black sword into his pocket.

A Pu's brows immediately furrowed. "Did you steal it? If he finds out and waits outside the forbidden area of ​​Tianlan Mountain, we'll all be dead without a burial place."

"I'm not afraid, so why are you afraid?" The man snorted and strode towards a cave in the distance.

It was dark and damp inside, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. When you reached the bottom, you saw a pool of boiling red water, like molten lava.

"This is the red wash solution you mentioned. Can it really remove the mark that the old thief put on me?"

"Believe it or not, I've brought you here, and it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

"When I really remove the mark, I will naturally give it to you." The man jumped down and jumped into the boiling red pool water.

.........

In the dim cave, Song Xian sat with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, there was a deafening sound and the whole cave shook violently.

He opened his eyes and stood up suddenly. Before he could figure out what was going on, there was another loud bang. The stone walls in the cave shook violently, as if they were about to collapse.

He flashed and rushed out of the cave, only to see two dazzling rays of light intertwined in the air.

Huge shock waves spread in all directions, and just as he rushed out of the cave, the cave collapsed with a loud bang.

The shock wave came like a huge wave, hitting his shield of condensed spiritual power, causing the shield to be visibly distorted.

Golden elixir monk.

Song Xian looked at the two blurry figures in the air, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he was shocked.

Because they were too far away, he couldn't see the faces of the two figures clearly, but from the spiritual pressure released by the two people, he could sense that they were two Jindan realm cultivators fighting.

I don’t know what kind of divine treasure could have caused two Jindan cultivators to fight each other, and they even passed by here alive.

Song Xian didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly fled away. He walked ten miles before turning around to look. He saw a light rising into the sky over there, and it was obvious that the two were still fighting fiercely.

He didn't have the leisure to watch, and ran away without looking back.

Fortunately, the place where the two were fighting was still some distance away from the cave where he was. If it was a little closer, with the strength of a Jindan cultivator, the residual power of the magical powers of the two would be enough to give him a hard time.

In mid-air, two Jindan cultivators fought for a while, then one of them went backwards, while the other one chased closely after him.

Although the two had gone far away, Song Xian did not return to the dense forest, but headed east and found another secluded place to hide.

.........

The sun is shining brightly and the sky is cloudless.

In Xijiang County, in front of the misty mountains, a huge and glittering spiritual ship came speeding towards them. On the bow of the ship was a huge red flag with the word "Qi" engraved on it.

The spirit ship landed steadily in mid-air, beams of light shooting down from it. Dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators lined up in two rows, ready for battle. Beneath the mist-shrouded mountain range, a man soared into the air, his gaze warily surveying the oncoming force. He bowed his head in greeting, "May I know your names, fellow Daoists? What brings you to the Mingxuan Sect?"

Just as he finished speaking, a somewhat old voice came from the spirit ship: "I am Qi Yunxuan, and I ask the headmaster of Mingxuan Sect to come out and answer my questions."

Although the person has not appeared, the huge spiritual power of the Jindan cultivator has already spread.

The man's face changed slightly. He didn't expect that there was a Jindan cultivator in charge of the spirit ship. This group of people obviously had bad intentions. The key point was that this person was called Qi Yunxuan. He had never even heard of this person's name.

Not to mention Xijiang County, the entire Xishu County had never heard of such a person, but he suddenly arrived with dozens of foundation-building cultivators.

Where did this force come from?
"Senior, you have come to us. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you. Please forgive my ignorance. I have never heard of your name. I wonder where you are from?"

No more sound came from the spirit ship. The leader of the dozens of foundation-building cultivators stationed on both sides shouted sternly, "Stop talking nonsense! Call your master out quickly."

Anger flashed across the man's face. Although the Mingxuan Sect was not the most powerful force in Xijiang County, it was still a dominant force. When had they ever been treated like this? Even the high-level members of the Beastmaster Sect were polite when they arrived.

The other party was so rude, clearly not taking them seriously. But this was not the time to lose his temper. The man suppressed his anger, said nothing, and turned back to the misty mountains.

After a long while, a beam of light shot out from within, revealing the figure of a burly man in purple clothing. It was none other than Mingxuan Sect's headmaster, Mo Heng. His gaze swept over the group of Foundation Establishment cultivators who were waiting in formation, and as he looked at the spirit ship from afar, he said in a thunderous voice, "Fellow Daoist Qi, I wonder what brings you here?"

"Friend Mo Dao, I would like to borrow your sect's precious land. I hope you will lend it to me." An old voice came from inside.

Mo Heng narrowed his eyes slightly. He had already gone out to greet him personally, but he didn't expect that this person would be so arrogant and not even show his face.

He knew that the other party had ill intentions, but he did not want to be an enemy of a Jindan cultivator until the last moment. Moreover, the other party's origin was mysterious, so he had to swallow his anger for the time being.

"I wonder what you want to do with my sect?"

"I want to establish a family business in Xijiang County, and I need a place with abundant spiritual energy. Your sect's mountain gate has a third-order, mid-grade spiritual vein, which is exactly what I want. From now on, Mingxuan Sect will be renamed Yunxuan Sect. Disciples of your sect who want to stay can stay, and those who don't want to stay can leave. If you don't mind, you can serve as an elder in Yunxuan Sect."

Mo Heng's expression suddenly darkened, and he spoke slowly, "Fellow Daoist Qi, are you kidding?"

"Since fellow Daoist is unwilling to follow me, then I can only take it myself." The voice in the spirit ship was still calm.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge golden dragon claw swooped down from the sky and grabbed Mo Heng.

…………

The sky was clear and the air was bright. On the vast plain, groups of cultivators occupied different places, and were far apart from each other. Among them, two groups were particularly eye-catching, namely the cultivators from Hussein and the Alqiu family. These two groups had a total of about dozens of foundation-building cultivators, and were led by four Jindan cultivators.

And more monks are hiding in the darkness.

Today is the day when the forbidden area will be reopened, and all the monks are here waiting.

Song Xian used a concealing talisman to hide in the northwest corner, secretly observing the situation. He was still about ten miles away from the center of the teleportation site and did not dare to get too close, for fear of being spotted and getting into trouble.

It's not that no one in this forbidden area knew that he was in possession of treasures. When he obtained the Rejuvenating Pill and the Soul-Nourishing Wood, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who knew about it escaped.

If you meet this person, you are very likely to be targeted by him. If this person has a powerful force behind him, it will be even worse.

Song Xian's mentality now is like a thief with a huge treasure. No matter who he meets, he feels that they have bad intentions.

Although he was hiding here with his body concealed, he could already feel several spiritual senses sweeping over him, but no one paid any attention.

As time passed, it was almost noon, and suddenly, a strong wind blew from the originally clear sky, and the sky suddenly became dark.

High in the sky, the space was slowly torn apart, and a funnel-shaped rotating vortex emerged. As the hole in the space became larger and larger, the sky became darker and darker, and the wind howled violently.

It lasted for about an hour before the torn space finally took shape. At this time, the black hole had expanded to a hundred feet in size, and there was a faint light flowing inside.

After a while, a beam of light rose into the sky and disappeared into the huge black hole.

Soon after, many more people rose up and entered the inner room.

Seeing everyone coming in one after another, Song Xian stopped watching and flew straight towards the black hole.

As soon as I entered the inner room, I felt dizzy and my whole body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. My head was dizzy and my consciousness gradually became blurred.

By the time the dazzling white light shone in, he had already returned to Tianlan Mountain.

Song Xian looked up and saw many cultivators standing scattered around, but no one stepped forward to stop him. He did not stop and fled eastward.

.........

In the Beast Taming Sect, in a dim training room, an old man with white hair and beard was sitting inside. He was practicing Qi training when there was a sudden knock on the door.

The old man opened his eyes, stood up and opened the stone door. Standing outside was a thin middle-aged man who bowed respectfully to him and said, "Master, I just received urgent news that the Mingxuan Sect's mountain gate is being attacked by a group of people."

"Ming Xuanzong?" The old man frowned immediately, a little shocked: "Who is it?"

"There is no definite information yet, but it seems to be a group of foreign forces."

"External forces?" The old man's eyes flashed slightly. Mingxuan Sect was one of the top forces in Xijiang County, and there were also Jindan cultivators in the sect, but it was suddenly attacked by external forces. The key point was that the Beastmaster Sect had not received any news before. This shouldn't have happened. Such a big thing, but there was no sign at all.

Regardless of whether it is a major force in Xishu County or a force from other counties, if they want to step into the territory of Xijiang County, they should say hello to the Beast Taming Sect out of both emotion and reason.

Such a sudden attack would break the rules, and it might even be aimed at the Beast Taming Sect.

"Has the Mingxuan Sect recently had any conflicts with any sect in Xishu County?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"Immediately send someone to investigate at the Mingxuan Sect's mountain gate to find out the origins of the forces attacking the Mingxuan Sect. Also, send someone to Wei Wuya of the Xuanyuan Sect to gather information."

"I have sent someone."

As the two were talking, a young man dressed in the uniform of the Beast Tamer Sect hurried over. He bowed and said, "Master, Elder Xu, Huang Jin, a disciple of the Mingxuan Sect, has arrived. He wants to see you regarding something urgent."

Hearing this, the two couldn't help but look at each other.

They had just received the news that Emperor Xuanzong of Ming was attacked, but they did not expect that the disciples of Emperor Xuanzong's cabinet would arrive so soon.

"Junior Brother Xu, go meet him and find out what's going on."

"Yes." The man surnamed Xu responded and strode away.
