Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 260 Attacked
'Sword Intent Takes Shape!'

Zhenren Zhengyang's eyes were full of admiration, and the haze in his heart about the many outstanding disciples who died in the secret realm suddenly dissipated a little.

"You are quite good. Qiu Bai, at your age now, has only comprehended the sword intent and is still far from realizing it."

Li Haoran's expression remained normal, he nodded slightly and said:
"Grandmaster, you are too kind. My sword power has barely taken shape and is still very immature. I still need to learn more from Master on the path of cultivation."

His tone was flat, as if the sword's transformation was just a trivial matter.

"Okay, be neither arrogant nor impatient, this is the attitude a cultivator should have!

When you climb one peak, you'll see another. Only by remaining humble can you go further."

Zhenren Zhengyang was even more satisfied. He didn't know how many cultivators became complacent after achieving a little success, and then relaxed their pursuit of higher realms, wasting their time.

The path has no end, and the pursuit of knowledge cannot stop.

Even if one can never reach the end of the immortal road, the heart that pursues the Tao will still be stronger than gold and stone.

Apart from other things, those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage or above have the possibility of reincarnation and cultivation.

Lin Jiuxiao and Zhu Xiangrong looked at each other and saw each other's joy.

The Jinling Sect is not a sect of sword cultivators. If a sword cultivator and Golden Core ancestor is born one day, a more systematic sword cultivator inheritance will surely be established.

It is not like it is now, where there is only a small inheritance among a few people in the Yingyue Peak lineage.

To put it bluntly, with so few people, the inheritance might be cut off one day.

Zhenren Zhengyang raised his arm slightly and grabbed the black bottle in Li Haoran's hand. After probing into his spiritual sense, his eyebrows raised slightly and his face became gloomy.

"Take a look. Can you recognize what this thing is?"

As he spoke, he threw the jade bottle into Lin Jiuxiao's hands.

Lin Jiuxiao took the bottle and cautiously used his spiritual sense to check it.

Since Junior Brother Li said that the culprit that caused the monster riot was inside, of course we have to be on guard.

Inside the bottle was a white, translucent soft-bodied creature.

It has a flat body and black spots on its back, resembling the pattern of an evil spirit.

It has no eyes or other organs, and extends outwards countless black tentacles as thin as cow hair.

He was horrified to find that this strange thing could actually devour his consciousness.

"Is this a Gu insect?"

He recalled the records about poisonous insects. When the Jinling Sect had just migrated to Xizhou, there were still some indigenous tribes here who were good at raising poisonous insects and making poisonous insects.

The most mysterious and bizarre of them is the soul Gu that controls the consciousness of the cultivator.

Rumor has it that the soul insect can devour the spiritual consciousness, and eventually completely merge with and replace the cultivator's consciousness.

A cultivator who has been infected by the soul poison is no longer the same cultivator as before. His behavior and thoughts will change and he will be controlled by the owner of the soul poison.

"It's the Soul-Eating Silkworm Gu, probably the remnant of the indigenous people back then."

Zhenren Zhengyang nodded slightly. He had personally experienced the war to exterminate the indigenous people and had a deep understanding of these methods.

He had a rough idea of ​​what happened in the secret realm.

"Haoran, tell me how you discovered this insect."

In order to verify what you think, you still have to ask the people who experienced the incident.

Li Haoran began to describe his discovery, "When I confirmed that the Foundation Establishment Stage monsters in the secret realm were no match for my sword, I set out for one of the forbidden areas."

His sword power was unable to reach the level of transformation, so he decided to enter the forbidden area to find a more powerful monster to hone his sword power.

When I spar with my master every day, although the process is thrilling, my master has no intention of killing me. I always feel that I am a little short of the mark.

Only through the tempering of fire can true gold be produced.

His sword-escape skills are not inferior to those of ordinary Chaoyuan-stage monsters, which is why he dares to enter the forbidden area.

It is very important to sharpen your sword will, but to enter a life-or-death trial without any preparation is not courage but foolishness.

“When I was surveying the periphery of the forbidden area, I discovered two wandering cultivators lingering nearby, so I followed them for a while.

I found that they lit an unknown spiritual plant, which caused the monsters in dozens of miles around to go crazy, and even the Chaoyuan period monsters were lured out.

Finally, I discovered that these two wandering cultivators were deliberately luring the monsters to the area designated by the sect, so I killed them.

After the two men died, the poisonous insects actually tried to control me with illusions. I killed one and captured the other. I originally thought that these two were just isolated cases and did not take them too seriously.

It was only later that we discovered that many independent cultivators had been controlled by the Gu worms, leading to the tragedy."

After listening to the narration, Zhenren Zhengyang restored the facts in his mind.

The hidden enemy was very familiar with the affairs of the secret realm, and had made preparations early on, controlling a large number of independent cultivators.

This soul-controlling method is very covert. Only a Jindan Zhenren can detect the slight disharmony between the soul and body of the controlled cultivator.

At this moment, a roar full of surprise sounded, and a demon wolf with a body length of about two meters and covered with snow-white hair flew out from the exit of the secret realm.

It has two huge heads, one spewing out blue flames and the other spewing out white icy air.

The sound was loud. It had not eaten the delicious flesh and blood of a monk for many years.

It ate a lot this time, so it wants to catch more and store them to eat slowly.

After seeing the monks disappear after entering a light curtain, it hesitated for a long time before deciding to chase them.

As soon as it arrived in this world, it immediately felt the sense of restraint on its body suddenly disappear, and saw a lot of delicious food.

"That Chaoyuan period monster has run out!" A disciple growled, his voice filled with a hint of fear.

It was this mutated two-headed wolf that killed the most monks.

Any cultivator who was sprayed by the icy air would immediately become stiff and then be easily swallowed by it.

The icy air has a wide range and fast speed. Even if the cultivator is not hit directly but only swept by the aftermath, the icy power can still have an impact, slowing down the cultivator's movements and reaction speed.

"furious!"

Following the angry roar of Master Nanshan, a golden light flashed, and the roar of the monster that had just been showing off its might stopped abruptly.

Then the monster split into two halves, blood spurted out, and it seemed as if a gorgeous scarlet flower bloomed in the air.

The Chaoyuan-level monster beasts that were killing everyone in the secret realm were no match for the Jindan cultivators.

"My two fellow Daoists, I will gladly accept the demon core of this demon beast."

Zhenren Nanshan shouted and ordered the Chaoyuan-level disciple behind him to fetch the demon pill.

Zheng Yang Zhenren didn't care about the inner elixir of the monster. He asked for the jade bottle that sealed the poisonous insect and said to Li Haoran:

"Come with me and tell the other fellow Taoists everything you just said."

The appearance of the remnants of the indigenous people is a serious matter. The three sects are in a common position, so of course this kind of information must be shared.

There is another very important matter that needs to be discussed. The support from Zhongzhou has not arrived yet, and we also need to work out a plan on how to deal with the Mingfeng Mountain defense line.

At midnight, the Wuji Hall on Chaoyang Peak was brightly lit.

More than twenty Chaoyuan-stage cultivators who stayed behind in the sect were all present, discussing in low voices.

"Ancestor, you are urgently summoning me. What happened? Is there a huge crisis in Mingfeng Mountain Immortal City?"

More than an hour ago, they had just finished a meeting in this hall and arranged the tasks for the next stage.

"Probably."

The monks' faces became serious, and they all felt that a storm was about to come, and the air seemed to become heavy.

Chu Huaige said nothing. He knew very well the reason why he gathered everyone again, but the matter was too big, as if a huge rock weighing ten thousand pounds was pressing on his heart.

He knew that the weather in Xizhou was about to change.

The war has entered a critical turning point, and the original plan may have to be completely overturned.

Zhenren Zhengyang stepped into the hall. His footsteps were quite heavy, like the sound of a drum beating on the hearts of all the monks.

"I just received news that True Man Qingxu of Luofeng Valley was attacked by demon cultivators on his way back to the sect from the secret realm entrance. He was seriously injured when he returned to the sect.

None of the disciples who accompanied him survived."

Luofeng Valley used the teleportation array to transmit the message to Mingfeng Mountain Fairy City, and True Man Yuxiao then passed the message back.

Zhenren Zhengyang was well aware of the impact this incident could cause. Zhenren Qingxu himself had a short lifespan, and after being seriously injured, he was probably going to die soon.

The news that came back said that the attacker was a demon cultivator at the eighth or ninth level of the Golden Core Realm. His demon body was a green dragon, and he was good at controlling water magic and was highly poisonous.

The battle in Mingfeng Mountain Fairy City seemed fierce, but although some Chaoyuan-stage cultivators were injured, no one was killed.

Although his words were kept as calm as possible, they still stirred up huge waves in the hearts of the monks.

"how is this possible?"

Some cultivators exclaimed that none of their disciples survived, which was definitely a major blow to the inheritance of Luofeng Valley.

There is actually a Jindan stage demon cultivator sneaking into the heartland of the human race. It is a sword hanging over the heads of all cultivators. Maybe one day misfortune will fall on their heads.

As long as this sharp blade exists, all cultivators will be uneasy, just like dark clouds pressing down on the sky of Xizhou.

We must find the hidden enemy before we can discuss the next step.

But how can the three sects have any means to check and balance an enemy that can cause serious injuries to a Jindan cultivator?

Unless all the Jindan combat forces return, it will be possible to wipe them out.

Lin Jiuxiao said in a deep voice:

"Ancestor, what should we do next?"

The impact of this attack was not only casualties, but also a heavy blow to morale.

The fear is that the enemy will remain hidden and launch an attack when people are not prepared.

From now on, no monk would be able to carry out a mission outside without feeling anxious.

The ancestors of Luofeng Valley were all defeated, and the other cultivators were targeted and killed one by one.

Everyone looked at Zhenren Zhengyang. His decision involved the life and death of many cultivators.

“I will take the teleportation array to Mingfeng Mountain, and fellow Jindan Daoists from other sects will also go with me.

This meeting will determine the future of Xizhou.

After I left, the sect's mountain protection formation increased its defense intensity and temporarily reduced the patrol range of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Before I leave, I will awaken the sect's guardian beast, the Fire Turtle, so that the sect will be safe."

Upon hearing his arrangements, all the monks showed surprise on their faces.

Any beast that can be called a mountain guardian must undoubtedly be a Jindan stage beast.

A few days ago, the appearance of Yanzu made all the cultivators celebrate, but they did not expect that the sect had such a solid foundation!
