return to heaven

Several juniors leaned against each other and fell asleep, while Zhu Xuan was talking to Luo Yu.

Last time on Penglai Fairy Mountain, the monk Zhu Xuan rescued was Luo Yu. He exchanged a pill for a detailed route to find jade berries.

"Thanks to brother Zhu's help last time, otherwise I don't know if I can survive to go down the mountain." Luo Yu said.

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "Whatever Brother Luo said, I must thank Brother Luo."

It seems that he finally got the jade berries, Luo Yu thought.

It's a matter of mutual benefit, and it doesn't matter who helps the most and who helps the least.

Even without Zhu Xuan's elixir, Luo Yu could have survived. His current master met him there, but there is no need to let him know about it.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhu Chen, Zhu Chen seemed to be observing, turned his head to look over, Luo Yu put on a slight smile.

Zhu Chen turned his head lightly.

What does it mean?Luo Yu almost doubted whether he had turned his head around...

Zhu Xuan took all this into his eyes, pretended to understand, and patted his shoulder, "He has always been like this, with no one in his eyes."

Is this word used too much?He looked at Zhu Xuan secretly, he had also practiced talisman cultivation for two years.In two years, he changed from a sword cultivator whose cultivation was completely ruined to a talisman cultivator, and he had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. This time, he should be able to break through the Golden Core Stage when he returned. Sure enough, the talisman cultivator was his right path.

If he read correctly, Zhu Xuan and Zhu Chen should be brothers. Although they don't look alike, it's not difficult to see their relationship from their bones.

How can a brother say that about his brother?

But it's no wonder that the two of them didn't communicate at all along the way, and their relationship was not good, or in other words, extremely bad.

Zhu Xuan looked at Zhu Chen's eyes, and the disgust in it seemed to have substance.

Bored, Jiang Lingxi slapped the surface of the water with a branch he picked at random. The water droplets reflected the sunlight a few times, and then fell into the water again, causing circles of ripples.

The water is so clear that even the stones and gravel under the water can be seen clearly.

"There are fish in the water!" Jiang Lingxi shouted excitedly.

Zhang Qianyao stretched lazily, "It's not surprising that there are fish in the water, really, disturb my rest."

Jiang Lingxi said angrily: "Are you stupid? It's not uncommon to have fish in the water when it's so clear, but there are fish in such clear water!"

"Yeah, I've been taught, you can continue to play, I'm asleep." Zhang Qianyao casually perfunctory, turned over, and continued to sleep.

Jiang Lingxi turned around angrily, and secretly looked at Zhu Chen, but Zhu Chen didn't look at her.

She was about to quietly walk up to Zhu Chen and sit down, when she saw a huge black shadow flashing in the water out of the corner of her eye, what is it?

She lifted the hem of her skirt and looked intently into the water.

Before they could understand it, a thick dead air spread, and almost at the same time, everyone noticed the change. The lush and lush trees began to wither and turn yellow from the top of the tree, and the fallen leaves floated down. Withered, layers of chapped bark are raised, and under the opened bark is the withered and yellow wood.

In their eyes, the earth quickly loses its color, loses its vitality, and replaces it with a lifeless and dull life.

The plants withered, the river dried up, and when the last drop of river water disappeared, the river bed was opened with finger-sized openings.

Luo Yu felt great uneasiness in his heart, "Everyone be careful, it's dangerous."

Jiang Lingxi, "Even a fool can see the danger, why do you need to tell me?"

Luo Yu was not in the mood to chat with her, and took out his compass to cast spells to find the source of danger.

The compass needle spins aimlessly and rapidly.Luo Yu looked at the compass without speaking, with a disturbed expression.

Jiang Lingxi ran out of patience, "You are talking!" She was about to go up to look at Luo Yu's compass, but she saw Zhu Chen flying in a direction with a cold face, that is, the direction where the second senior brother left.

She Yujian flew up to Zhu Chen, opened her arms to stop him, "I know what you are worried about, and I am also worried about them, but the situation is not stable right now, so don't act rashly, you have to trust the second senior brother, he is powerful and intelligent It will definitely be fine.”

Zhu Chen said coldly: "Get out of the way."

Jiang Lingxi firmly stood in front of him, "I promised my second senior brother to take care of you, so I won't let anything happen to you."

Zhu Chen was cold, "..." Suddenly Jiang Lingxi pulled him aside vigorously, and then she raised her sword to catch the fierce claws.

Zhu Chen stabilized his figure and looked at Jiang Lingxi. Just now, he was fully focused on looking for Shen Chubai, and he didn't notice anything approaching behind him.

It had a horn on its head, two fiery red cirrus moires under its eyes, and four sharp and hard claws, which collided with the sword and made a piercing "呲啦" sound. Behind it were two claws longer than its body Every time the tail is tapped, the life force of the things it touches is rapidly lost. The stone that the disciples were sitting on just now turned into a pile of dust after the tail swept over it, as if tens of thousands of years had passed... ..

Zhang Qianyao roared: "Watch out for his tail! What kind of monster is this?" Swinging his sword and stabbing it at the neck, it drove it away with its horns. Zhang Qianyao stood still on a dead tree after a few ups and downs.

"Spirit-eating beast!" Luo Yu said at the right time, "If I'm not mistaken, this is exactly a spirit-eating beast. I didn't expect there to be such an evil and ferocious beast hidden inside!"

Zhu Chen took one last look at the direction Shen Chubai was leaving from, and sensed Jiansui once. He was very calm, it seemed that he was fine, and then he raised his sword and joined the battle.

Jiang Lingxi struggled to dodge its sweeping tail, "Luo Yu, what the hell is this spirit-eating beast? Why can't it hurt it!" He could easily resist any moves made on it.

"It is said that the spirit-eating beast is an ancient evil beast that feeds on the living things in the world. He likes anything that is alive. After eating it, its cultivation level will greatly increase. Later, the spiritual power and vitality of the cultivation world will become stronger. It was almost devoured by him. The cultivation world spent a lot of effort to subdue it, and damaged more than dozens of Nascent Souls and monks, but failed to surrender him, only hurt his body, and finally A powerful elite clan used his inner alchemy to turn it into a cage, trapped him in it, and relieved the troubles in the cultivation world!" Luo Yu Yujian flew up, and volleyed to stick a talisman on its paw.

But it only hindered its movement slightly, Zhu Chen took the opportunity to pierce its claws, the spirit-eating beast roared, the talisman paper burst into flames, Zhu Chen drew his sword neatly, and then grabbed Luo Yu's back collar with one hand, Roll over to avoid a sweeping tail.

"Thank you brother Zhu for saving me!"

Zhu Chen dropped him and joined the battle again.

"Isn't it? Then we're doomed today?" Dozens of Nascent Soul Stages are resistant to his discord, aren't they just sent up to feed it?Jiang Lingxi yelled loudly, but she didn't hesitate at all in the moves in her hand.

Zhu Chen glanced at the spirit-eating beast that was chasing after him, looked up at the huge dead tree beside him, stepped lightly, and stood on the top of the tree.

The spirit-eating beast also followed Zhu Chen's movements and jumped up the tree.

Sure enough, he followed.

A junior brother asked: "That spirit-eating beast seems to be after Zhu Chen."

Yes, ever since that evil beast appeared, it has been looking for opportunities to bite Zhu Chen.

How Jiang Lingxi couldn't see it, she chased after it without hesitation, volleyed, pointed her sword at the sky, pinched the magic formula with her hand, and pointed the sword energy wrapped in strong killing intent directly at the head of the spirit-eating beast, and then landed on the ground.

The spirit-eating beast seemed to have sensed it, and raised its tail to disperse the sword energy.

The sword energy came back, Jiang Lingxi couldn't help vomit blood.

"Senior Sister!" The little junior brother shouted worriedly.

Jiang Lingxi rubbed the blood stains off her lips with the back of her hand, "It's okay." In any case, we must get rid of this evil beast, otherwise no one can escape, "Luo Yu, do you know how to deal with this evil beast?"

Luo Yu jumped in his busy schedule, "How do I know this?"

"Then how do you know this thing is a spirit eater?"

"Didn't I read it in an ancient book? It only said that he feeds on spiritual power and anger, and I don't know anything else!" He took out two sticks of incense and lit them with a fire talisman .

It turned out to be like this, Zhu Chen carried profound merits and virtues on his body, and how many people's kindness was carried on it. For the spirit-eating beast, it was a fresh life calling him.

After thinking about it, she couldn't let this thing get close to Zhu Chen. Jiang Lingxi tied the leg of the spirit-eating beast with spiritual power, turned back a few somersaults, and dragged it back two steps with all her strength. , and shouted at Luo Yu: "What time is it, are you still in the mood to offer incense and pray?"

Zhang Qianyao was dumbfounded, this girl is amazing.

Jiang Lingxi restrained the spirit-eating beast, but it didn't last long before it broke free.

The other disciples of Nanyang Immortal Sect are not surprised. They have heard about this senior sister's immense power.

Luo Yu held a stick of incense in each hand, and cooperated with both hands, using the heaven and earth as the talisman paper and the incense as the cinnabar pen, and quickly drew the rune on it. When the last stroke fell, Zhu Chen obviously felt that the spirit-eating beast was moving slowly. .

He slowly landed on the top of the dead tree that he jumped on first, and as soon as he stood still, a complete formation appeared with the tree as the center.

What everyone else could see, Zhu Chen discovered from the very beginning, and led the spirit-eating beast to mediate with him, setting up a formation to trap himself in it.

The demon-subduing formation was completed, and the golden light suddenly appeared, watching the spirit-eating beast howling in the sky, raising its tail, and slapping the barrier formed by the subduing demon formation.

It will break the formation.

Zhu Chen immediately slashed his palm and slapped towards the edge of the formation, "I'm not cultivated enough, so I can only form a formation, I can't protect it."

Jiang Lingxi rolled over and put her sword in to protect the formation.

The disciples of Nanyang Xianzong stepped forward one after another, inserting swords at every node of the formation to protect the formation.

Luo Yu and Zhang Qianyao, one holding a talisman and the other holding incense, cast spells in front of the formation to strengthen the formation.

The spirit-eating beast kept struggling in the Demon Subduing Formation, and its tail slapped the barrier of the formation fiercely. Every time it slapped, the formation weakened a bit. If it didn't want to come up with a solution, it would be a matter of time before it escaped.

A young disciple couldn't bear it any longer, and turned his head to look around, "Second Senior Brother, why hasn't he come back yet? Second Senior Brother is the most powerful, and we are almost unable to hold on."

One said so, and others shared their anxieties.

Suddenly a disciple exclaimed, "Second Senior Brother, be careful!"

He was facing a blind spot that Zhu Chen couldn't see, Zhu Chen's heart tightened, the spirit-eating beast saw this opening, and almost immediately swung its tail towards it, the demon-subduing formation broke, and Zhu Chen rolled to the side on the spot , I can't help but be swept by its tail.

He squatted on the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and before he had time to wipe the blood off his lips, he flew towards the direction the previous disciple was facing.

no one!

"Zhu Chen be careful!" Several voices sounded behind him at the same time, a huge shadow covered him, and his scorching breath was sprayed by his ears.

Before Zhu Chen could react, the evil beast opened its mouth to hold him in its mouth, and disappeared after a few vertical jumps.

Luo Yu frowned and glanced at Zhu Xuan. It was Zhu Xuan who called the second senior brother. He happened to have his back turned in the direction of his call. He didn't know if it was really Shen Chubai. Judging from the current situation, it's probably [-]% No, Shen Chubai hasn't appeared until now.

The disciple next to Zhu Xuan asked Zhu Xuan, "Did you see the second senior brother just now?"

Zhu Xuan said uncertainly: "I saw a white shadow approaching at that time, I wanted to remind him of the danger here, and then I yelled out...Maybe I misread it..."

Seeing him, I really don't know if my eyes are dazzled, and it's hard for others to say anything, but now that Zhu Chen has been arrested, what should I do?

"Hey, senior sister, what are you going to do? Please calm down first, you will die if you go, let's wait for the second senior brother to come back first." A disciple stopped Jiang Lingxi.

"If you wait any longer, Zhu Chen will die, let me go!"

Luo Yu also persuaded: "I think brother Zhu's auspicious people have their own celestial features, and they will be fine. If any of you have something related to brother Zhu, I can make a divination."

Fuxiu is best at fortune-telling and divination. They can see half of the secrets, and the divinations are basically true.

"I have it!" Someone handed out a sword with a tassel hanging from it.Shen Chubai didn't know when he came back, his expression was stern, his whole body was so cold that he seemed to have crawled out of hell.

Luo Yu took the sword seriously, held the incense and wrapped it around the sword a few times, "..."

The wick of the incense flickered, and the smoke slowly condensed into a figure...it was Shen Chubai.

"..."

Luo Yu looked at Shen Chubai, "This sword..."

Shen Chubai frowned and said in a cold voice, "Who asked you to divination to Jiansui, Jiansui! Jiansui! This Jiansui is the prize he won in the Nanyang Immortal Sect Sect Competition, can it be counted?"

Luo Yu calmly touched another stick of incense, "Yes."

Before he recounted, he caught a glimpse of the line representing fate on the pillar, disappeared for a moment, and then reappeared.

Whose fate is so weird that after dying, they will come back to life?But he didn't think too much about it, he just thought it was because he was not good at learning.

Then he held the incense with one hand and wrote Zhu Chen's name in the air with the incense, and the name gradually evolved into Zhu Chen's appearance.

It's strange, why did he come up with strange hexagrams even after two hexagrams today? He couldn't find out Zhu Chen's fate, but he could still calculate his recent fortune, otherwise he wouldn't have the face to admit that he is a disciple of Tianjimen Well, I'm not good at learning, after I go back this time, I must practice more devoutly.

According to the hexagrams, Zhu Chen's fortune is very good in the near future, and he may encounter some physical hardships, but it will not affect his good luck...

Shen Chubai took his sword away from the air, told Jiang Lingxi to take good care of his juniors, asked the direction where the spirit-eating beast left, and flew away with the sword, without giving Luo Yu a chance to continue talking.Shen Chubai fell into deep self-blame, brought the person out but didn't take good care of him, and even listened to this half-assed Fu Xiu divination, what should he do if something happened to Zhu Chen?

There was a knife-like pain in his heart, Zhu Chen was only a disciple of the Qi refining stage, his cultivation base was not high, how could he resist the fangs and sharp teeth of that ferocious beast, he didn't dare to think about it any further, he was afraid... he Trying to stabilize the sword, we shuttled through a lifeless dead forest.

He and another disciple went to inspect the surrounding area, but got stuck in a misty forest. When they finally walked out of the misty forest and wanted to return, they found that there was a layer of enchantment that they couldn't break through no matter how hard they tried.

After the enchantment finally weakened by itself, they rushed back immediately, just as they saw... Zhu Chen disappeared.

The spirit-eating beast spat out Zhu Chen, and Zhu Xuan slammed on the cave wall with a muffled sound. Several blood holes were pierced on his back by the protruding stones, and he fell to the ground again. The wound on her body, her snow-white Taoist robe, had already been soaked in blood, her messy hair stuck to her face, and she was in a terrible state of distress.

Even so, he didn't snort, and gritted his teeth.

It turns out that being injured is so painful, he has never been injured before, he has never suffered physical pain, and now he has experienced it all.

I don't know if the little master has come back. I was arrested before I saw him clearly. If he was found missing, the little master would definitely be worried. Now he hopes that the little master won't come to rescue him. He can't beat this food spirit animal.

The evil beast brought him back, probably wanting to enjoy it slowly.

The spirit-eating beast repeatedly rubbed its forefoot on the ground, its eyes sparkled with excitement, the blood of this monk was so delicious, it tasted delicious after eating it, it wanted to drink up all the blood on his body immediately, tearing off his blood one by one. Meat, swallowed into the stomach.

Zhu Chen sensed the danger in its eyes, dragged his broken body to move behind, and hit the cave wall within two strokes.

Zhu Chen raised the sword in his hand, stood up straight against the wall, pointed at the spirit eater, and stabbed at the spirit eater with all his strength. The spirit eater swung him to the wall with one paw, and then fell to the ground again.

Zhu Chen couldn't help spitting out blood, stood up again, quickly erected the sword in front of him, with the tip of the sword facing upwards, and countless sword shadows spread out behind him like flower petals, forming a powerful aura behind him.He held the sword with one hand, and with the other hand he raised his fingers together and slid towards the tip of the sword. He pressed the sword down with force in his hand, and made a handprint with both hands. Yaori followed his gestures and changed his moves, stabbing at the spirit-eating beast. .

The spirit-eating beast underestimated the enemy, and raised its foot indifferently to try to flick away the menacing sword, but was scratched by the sword energy on its neck. It let out a loud roar, and angrily opened its mouth and bit Zhu Chen.

A beast-like roar came from a distance, and Shen Chubai immediately accelerated to fly in that direction.Unexpectedly, it was like crossing a watershed. The scenery along the way was completely different. It was no longer dead and silent, but full of vitality as when they first entered.Even though the difference is so big, he didn't want to think too much about it, all he could think about was the person whose life or death was uncertain.

A cave appeared in front of me. The cave was halfway up the mountain, and there was a huge protruding stone plate outside. The cave was dark and nothing could be seen. The sound should come from here.

Shen Chubai quietly stopped beside the cave, hiding behind the vines.

There was another roar, which made the ears hurt.

Something flew out and stuck on the stone plate. It was Zhu Chen's sword, Yaori.

Shen Chubai took the sword over from the air, and before he had time to think more, he groped along the cave wall.

There was a shock in his heart, Zhu Chen felt a familiar feeling coming over, it was the resonance between his heart and his breath - the little master came.

The spirit-eating beast is very sensitive to anger and aura, and almost at the same time, he also sensed another strange breath approaching.

There is no reason not to accept the delicious food delivered to your door.

It glanced at Zhu Chen who was paralyzed on the ground. There was no white spot on Zhu Chen's body, and his whole body seemed to have been soaked in blood.

The spirit eater is going out.

Zhu Chenqiang got up by himself, burst out with strong spiritual power all over his body, gathered the spiritual power with both hands, and slammed it on the tail of the spirit-eating beast. While it was turning around in pain, he ran to the entrance of the cave with all his strength.

The spirit-eating beast came to its senses and quickly chased after it. Zhu Chen threw another blow, and the spirit-eating beast dodged. Zhu Chen turned around and hugged Shen Chubai, and said quickly in his ear, "Run away."

"Pfft" the sound of something piercing flesh and blood.

Accompanied by the howling of beasts.

Shen Chubai couldn't see anything at that moment, he could only see the color of blood in front of him...the blood red without a trace of impurities, and still had warmth.

A sharp thing passed through Zhu Chen's abdomen, it was so dazzling that Shen Chubai's eyes hurt.
