Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 327 Turtle in the Urn
Dark clouds covered the moon and it rained heavily.

On the Muhe grassland, in the desolate mountain forest, two beams of light fell, revealing two figures. They were Jiang Feng and Song Xian who had rushed over.

In a cave not far away, four foundation-building monks walked in one after another.

"This is Song Xian, the head of Hunyuan Sect in Bianxi City. He will help us eliminate the Kong family. This is our junior brother Wu Zixu, this is junior brother Xu Yaoming, this is junior brother Huang Lin, and this is junior brother Jiang Xuan." Jiang Feng introduced both parties.

Song Xian nodded to the four people one by one. Among these four people, Wu Zixu and Xu Yaoming were cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building, while Huang Lin and Jiang Xuan were only in the early stage of foundation building.

There are only four foundation-building cultivators in the Kong family, among whom Kong Zhenqing and Kong Zhenxuan are in the middle stage of foundation-building, and Jiang Yuhuan and Kong Xiangyuan are in the early stage of foundation-building.

Although they had a great advantage with six against four, it was still quite difficult to kill all the opponents.

"Senior Brother Jiang, now that you are here, I guess the Kong family has fallen into the trap? When do we take action?" Wu Zixu looked at Song Xian and asked.

"Before I set off, I received news that they had set off from Bianxi City on a second-level spirit ship and were heading here. The four foundation-building cultivators of the Kong family have all been dispatched, and they also brought dozens of Qi-refining cultivators. The speed of a second-level spirit ship is slower than our escape route, and we don't know yet whether they have arrived. You guys wait here for news, and I'll go to Anshanling to investigate the situation first." After Jiang Feng finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the cave, and flew away into the sky.

"I heard that the Hunyuan Sect originally moved from Pingyuan County and settled in a remote place in Bianxia Town. Later, they occupied Tianshan Mountain and gradually rose to prominence. I wonder if this is true?" Xu Yaoming asked after Jiang Feng left.

"Indeed, I am ignorant and do not know what position Fellow Daoist Xu holds in your sect."

"I am the deputy director of the sect's Guard Peak. I have been ordered by the sect to come and assist Senior Brother Jiang in his operations. I have also heard of Fellow Daoist Song, but I didn't expect to meet him here."

"I never thought that my humble name would be known by fellow Taoist. I am honored." Song Xian didn't know what he wanted to say, but since he had started talking, he couldn't ignore it.

The other people didn't seem interested in the two people's chat. They sat down cross-legged and did not join in the conversation.

"I heard that Tianshan didn't originally belong to your sect. After Senior Brother Jiang became the head of Bianxi City, he specifically asked you to take over Tianshan. That's how your sect was able to occupy Tianshan. Is that true?"

"At that time, the Tianshan Sect was in fierce internal strife. The two factions were incompatible and attacked each other. In order to protect this important place from falling into the hands of others, Senior Jiang asked me to manage the affairs of Tianshan." Song Xian didn't know what he meant, so he could only answer one question at a time.

"Brother Jiang trusts you so much. If we destroy the Kong family, I'm sure you and your sect will gain a lot of benefits!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other people who were originally not interested also looked over.

"Our sect is where we are today thanks to your great blessing. Now the Kong family is plotting a rebellion, attempting to instigate the independence of Bianxi City. If they succeed, they will not only drive your sect out of Bianxi City, but will also target our sect. As for the benefits you mentioned, I don't know. I am risking my life and property simply to do my part for your sect."

Song Xian answered calmly, but he was a little worried in his heart.

These people didn't know that Jiang Feng had agreed to hand over the Kong family's property. In this case, the Beast Taming Sect should not know about it either. Could Jiang Feng be fooling them?
After hearing what he said, Xu Yaoming did not ask any more questions, and the cave fell into silence.

.........

Torrential rain poured down. In the distance, a spirit ship came at high speed and landed in mid-air. Figures jumped down from it one after another, and the person leading the ship was Kong Zhenqing.

"Master, it's right there." The fat and big-eared Kong Xiangjun pointed to the cave in front.

"You guys stay outside, we'll go in and take a look at the situation. Keep the spirit ship away from here to avoid attracting onlookers from passing cultivators. This is not Bianxi City, it would be disastrous if we attract local sects to come and rob us." After Kong Zhenqing said this, he went straight into the cave.

No one noticed that in the distance, Jiang Feng had been guarding here for a long time using the magic of hiding his body. After seeing Kong Zhenqing enter the inner room, he left quietly.

.........

"There's no rich spiritual energy here, and it doesn't look like a place that produces spiritual fluids." As the group walked in the cave, Jiang Yuhuan looked around and frowned.

"Are you sure it's in this place?" Kong Zhenqing also had some doubts. The spirit-inducing liquid is a spiritual object of heaven and earth, and the place where it is formed must be blessed with natural beauty. This cave is ordinary, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin, so how could it produce the spirit-inducing liquid?

But now that we are here, we naturally have to find out what is going on.

"It's here." Kong Xiangjun nodded affirmatively.

Soon, the group arrived in front of the huge green light curtain.

"According to Chelsea, the Cold Blood Fruit is inside this formation." Kong Xiangjun pointed at the light curtain.

Looking at the huge light curtain, Kong Zhenqing felt delighted. He had some doubts when he first entered the cave, but now he had no doubts. After all, no one would take the trouble to build an array in a cave in the desolate mountains. There must be treasures inside.

He maintained the dignity of a patriarch, his expression calm. "Let's first break through this defensive light curtain. Yu Huan, you're knowledgeable about formations. In your opinion, how can this formation be broken?"

"Let me try." Jiang Yuhuan flipped his hand and took out a crimson bead. As spiritual power poured in, the crimson bead swelled against the wind and became several feet in size. It soared into the air and headed towards the green light curtain, hanging on top of it. A dazzling crimson light shot out from it, shining on the light curtain.

The red bead slowly rotated along the light curtain until the red light illuminated the entire light curtain, and then returned to his hand.

Jiang Yuhuan's consciousness entered the bead, and after a while he put it away. "This formation belongs to the Five Elements formation, possessing the power of fire, water, and earth. Even with our strength, it will take some time to break it."

"I tell you what to do, and we'll follow your instructions."

"Divide everyone into five groups. Those with water-attributed spiritual roots should be in the northwest, and attack them with water-based magic. Those with gold-attributed spiritual roots should be in the southeast, and attack them with gold-based magic. Those with fire-attributed spiritual roots should be in the southwest, and attack them with fire-based magic..."

As Jiang Yuhuan requested, everyone stood at different positions outside the light curtain. The four foundation-building cultivators of the Kong family each occupied one place, and the other dozen or so selected Qi-refining disciples stood in the same position. With a command, everyone used the Five Elements magic and attacked the light curtain.

.........

Inside the cave, several people were attacking the formation fiercely, while outside, Song Xian and six others had quietly reached the entrance. They could vaguely hear bursts of sounds like the collision of metal and stone coming from inside.

"Senior Brother Jiang, how long do we have to wait before we take action?" Wu Zixu asked in a low voice.

Several of them used the Qi-hiding Talisman to conceal their figures and auras, so the Qi-refining monks who were stationed outside the cave by the Kong family could naturally not detect them.

"No rush, let's wait until they have used up more spiritual energy before we take action."

Inside the cave, the sound of metal clashing against stone continued to be heard, and it became louder and louder, indicating that the other party was increasing their offensive. After about half an hour, the sound inside suddenly stopped.

"Let's do it! Get rid of those minions outside first. They are inside the cave and can't escape." After hearing the sound in the cave stop, Jiang Feng gave the order decisively.

Several people flashed and came to the Kong family disciples guarding outside. With a scream, a dense golden sword light instantly penetrated the three Kong family cultivators. It was Jiang Feng who took the first step. As soon as he appeared, a golden needle shot out from his hand.

The Kong family cultivators guarding outside were all Qi-refining cultivators. They were not covered by a spiritual shield and were completely unprepared. By the time they reacted, the golden needle was already close to them.

"There's a sneak attack, be careful."

"He is a foundation-building cultivator."

"Jiang Feng!!"

"Run!!!" When the others saw Jiang Feng, they were all horrified, and screams one after another instantly resounded throughout the cave.

At the same time as Jiang Feng took action, several other people also appeared one after another, condensing their magic and heading towards those cultivators.

Song Xian used the Fire Cloud Spear, instantly piercing the chest of a Kong family cultivator.

With the cultivation level of everyone, dealing with these Qi-refining monks was no problem, not to mention that one was in the open and the other was in the dark. In just a dozen breaths, the dozen or so Qi-refining monks guarding outside were killed one after another.

Inside the cave, Kong Zhenqing and others were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, recovering their spiritual power, when they suddenly heard loud shouting and a burst of clashing sounds from outside.

Everyone opened their eyes and looked at each other.

"Master, this is bad. I saw Jiang Feng suddenly appear with several Beast Taming Sect foundation-building cultivators and kill the brothers guarding outside." A cultivator from the Kong family ran to the crowd in panic and shouted loudly.

This person was guarding inside the cave. When Jiang Feng took action to kill the Kong family cultivator outside, he immediately turned around and fled.

"What?" Kong Zhenqing's expression suddenly changed.

"This is a trap set by the Beast Taming Sect. Let's get out of here quickly." Kong Zhenxuan's pupils suddenly shrank and he reacted immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge rock shining with black light shot out from outside and hit them.

Kong Zhenqing was the first to react. He flipped his hand and held a golden talisman in his palm. As spiritual power poured in, the golden talisman shone brightly and turned into golden sharp blades that rushed towards the boulder.

The two collided, and the golden light and the black light intertwined into one.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what do you mean?" Kong Zhenxuan shouted.

"Stop talking nonsense, this is where you will die." Jiang Feng snorted coldly. At the same time, the other people also used their own magic to attack Kong Zhenqing.

Wu Zixu put his hands together, and a huge ice pillar condensed and shot towards Kong Zhenqing.

A golden light flashed in Xu Yaoming's hand, turning into a golden spear.

Huang Lin threw a punch, and a huge golden fist condensed.

Jiang Xuan condensed a huge golden sword and slashed down.

Song Xian condensed the Fire Cloud Spear, and all the attacks went towards Kong Zhenqing.

Kong Zhenqing, Kong Zhenxuan, Jiang Yuhuan and Kong Xiangyuan also used their magical powers to greet the few people.

Ten foundation-building monks fought in a group, the lights intertwined into one piece, and the rumbling sound of metal and stone colliding was earth-shaking. The attacks from both sides caused the entire stone wall of the cave to shake.

Kong Zhenqing was covered in a golden round shield, with a layer of dark green barrier protecting him outside. Looking at the people blocking the outside of the cave, his mind raced.

At this point, it was obvious that the so-called Cold Blood Fruit was a trap. Jiang Feng had found so many helpers at once, and Song Xian from the Hunyuan Sect had also joined in. It was obvious that he wanted to catch him and the others in one fell swoop.

The Beast Taming Sect must have known about the conspiracy between the Murong family and himself. It is useless to argue now. The only way now is to escape from here first, return to the mountain gate, and then unite with the Luoyun Sect. Only then will there be a chance.

The other side has six foundation-building cultivators, one is in the late foundation-building stage, three are in the middle foundation-building stage, and two are in the early foundation-building stage.

On his side, there were only two people in the middle stage of foundation building. In terms of combat power, they were obviously no match for the other side. Now they were trapped in this cave, making it difficult for them to escape.

Seeing that the magic used by the four people on his side was being suppressed, Kong Zhenqing flipped his hand, and a stone box with intricate patterns appeared in his hand. He opened the lid of the box, and inside was a golden talisman with a lifelike golden sword painted on it. There were many runes engraved around it, surrounding the golden sword like flowers.

Kong Zhenqing took out the golden talisman. As the spiritual power in his body continued to flow into it, the talisman burst into dazzling golden light. The golden sword on it seemed to come alive and gradually broke away from the talisman.

In an instant, an extremely powerful aura of spiritual energy emanated.

Everyone was startled when they felt this unusual spiritual energy. They all looked in its direction and saw a small golden sword emerging from the talisman. Powerful sword energy emanated from it and transformed into tangible sword beams that scattered in all directions.

"Talisman." Jiang Feng's eyes fixed and he blurted out.

"Let's go." Wu Zixu's expression suddenly changed, and after he said that, he flashed and flew backwards.

The other people also changed color. No one wanted to be the target of Fu Bao's attack, so they flew backwards one by one, fearing that they would fall behind and become the target.

The golden little sword clanged, followed by a light shout from Kong Zhenqing.

The golden sword shot out like lightning, aiming at Jiang Feng.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Everyone understands this principle, so the magic attacks just now were all aimed at Kong Zhenqing.

Kong Zhenqing naturally knew that the leader and decision-maker among these people was Jiang Feng, so the talisman attacked him.

In the blink of an eye, the golden sword was in front of Jiang Feng and struck the huge black water ball.

When Kong Zhenqing took out the golden sword, Jiang Feng had already put his hands together and condensed a dark green water ball towards her.

Seeing the golden sword coming towards him, he took out several talismans in succession and condensed them into a series of defensive barriers to block in front of him.

The moment the golden sword collided with the black water ball, the water ball shattered with a bang, and the dark green liquid inside poured out, submerging the golden sword.

The dark green liquid had a very strong corrosive spiritual effect, but there seemed to be an invisible shield around the golden sword. When a large amount of dark green liquid poured down, the sword light of the golden sword had dispersed the liquid. Under the shining of the golden light, the dark green liquid evaporated in the sunlight like white snow.

After the golden sword pierced the water ball, it did not stop at all. It continued to move forward with unstoppable force and momentum, striking the blue light shield outside Jiang Feng.

The two collided, and there was a loud clashing sound. Golden light and blue light intertwined, and the blue light shield melted visibly under the attack of the golden sword.

Soon, the golden sword broke through the blue round shield and stabbed at the golden shield.

It may sound like a long process from the golden sword piercing the black water ball to breaking the blue light shield, but in fact it only took a few breaths.

Jiang Feng originally only had two layers of shield covering himself. Taking advantage of this time, he took out a dark green talisman and activated it, forming another dark green defensive shield inside the golden shield.

The others did not stand by and watch, but gathered their magic to attack the golden sword.

The five people's magical attacks came from all directions and hit the one-foot-long golden sword. The sword energy from the four directions of the golden sword formed a small sword energy area, covering an area of ​​100 feet in radius. As soon as the five attackers entered the area, they were attacked by the endless sword energy.
