Chapter 126: The Situation Collapses
"It's unbelievable, it's like a miracle!"
Xu Chen's face kept shaking, and he sighed with shock.
If this disgusting process is purely aside, the process of soul beasts fusing the flesh and soul of these corpses can be called an unprecedented miracle.
Lan You's hands that grabbed Xu Chen's clothes were trembling violently.
Xu Chen felt her fear, gently grabbed her hand, and then continued to stare at this huge bat and continue to fuse and grow, until a certain moment, a huge bat that exuded a terrifying aura was completely formed, and at the same time as a pair of blood-red eyes opened, Xu Chen's fingers twisted slightly, and his divine sense led the sword technique, and the second-grade flying sword hanging in front of the bat's head suddenly swept past the bat's neck.
"Boom~"
In a flash of light, the bat's massive head fell from its upside-down body.
With the black water flowing like blood, the bat's huge body began to convulse wildly, and its two huge wings trembled and shook aimlessly.
The flying sword surrounded the upper and lower range of the bat, and with a few flashes of spiritual light, the bat's wings and body were cut and collapsed again, and they were instantly piled up on the ground.
"Hey, I'm not dead yet!"
After slicing the huge bat to pieces, Xu Chen felt that the life breath of the soul beast was rapidly dissipating, and at the same time, a pile of black meat pieces was also rapidly drying up.
Xu Chen did not continue to move, but let go of his divine sense to fill the entire cave, enveloping a pile of broken corpses and black water and black smoke in it, carefully observing the changes in it.
Soon, all the ground minced meat and black water dried up and began to decay, and suddenly exploded with a bang, and in the black fog that scattered in the sky, a round bead turned into a black light and flew out along the alleyway.
At this juncture, Xu Chen naturally made it even more impossible for him to escape, so his vitality rolled out and turned into an invisible wall to completely block the alleyway.
The black bead slammed into the Yuan Qi wall and bounced back, but the violent impact made Xu Chen couldn't help but shake his spirit, and his face turned a little pale, which instantly surprised him even more.
Heizhu seemed to want to escape, so he rampaged in the narrow cave, and a cloud of black light exploded under the obstruction of the vitality, Xu Chen felt that his divine consciousness was blown to pieces, but he was full of vitality, and the black bead could not escape, and finally was squeezed by the vitality to the point that he could not move, and was finally imprisoned in the air.
This doesn't seem to be a soul bead?
Looking at a black bead the size of a bowl, Xu Chen was surprised and delighted, but his divine sense fell on it, and he quickly confirmed that this thing was not a soul bead.
Because the soul power it exudes is not too strong, it is similar to that of an ordinary soul beast in the True Yuan Realm, but there is an extremely strong breath of life hidden in the black beads.
"Is this an egg?"
Xu Chen was even more surprised, but now was not the time to observe carefully, the cave was filled with black fog, the smell was incomparable, and there were corpses everywhere, black water and shriveled corpses, Xu Chen raised his hand and put the black beads into the storage bracelet, and then walked out with Lan You, who was emotionally unstable.
Soon, the two of them were out of the mine.
The old Taoist priest and apprentice were still hiding behind the stones not far away and waiting, and when they saw the two coming out safe and sound, they hurried to catch up.
"How about the two Immortal Masters?" The old Taoist priest asked with a nervous face.
Xu Chen smiled slightly and nodded: "Fortunately, it is not disgraceful, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, I will send you back to the city!" ”
After saying that, Xu Chen's vitality was wrapped, and the master and apprentice took the sword into the air, Lan You seemed to be emotionally settled at this time, and hurriedly followed the sword, and returned to the small city in the blink of an eye.
However, this time it did not fall in the outskirts of the desert, but directly on the street in front of the tavern where the city was eating.
At this time, the street had been under martial law by the soldiers of the city lord's mansion, several corpses were still lying on the street, and some brave people were also watching in horror from a distance.
"Look, it's the immortals coming!"
Seeing the four people descending from the sky, the people suddenly cheered and shook the sky after a period of sluggishness, and then knelt down on the ground one after another.
A short and fat man in an official robe ran to Xu Chen and the four of them with a puff and knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Please also ask the immortal master to help kill the evil ghost and save my life!" ”
Xu Chen smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, the evil ghosts that plague this place are hidden in the barren mountain caves near the village five miles north of the city, and now that they have been killed by us, there should be no hidden dangers." ”
"Hey, the immortal master has killed the evil ghost, we are safe!"
Although Xu Chen's voice was not loud, almost all the people in the small city could hear it under the spread of vitality, and the onlookers and soldiers on the street immediately cheered.
The man was overjoyed, lying on the ground and knocking his head a few times in succession, only then did he get up with a grunt, and excitedly shuddered and arranged for someone to go to the list of Anmin.
Xu Chen looked at the old Taoist master and apprentice, and his divine sense fell on the young Taoist priest for a moment and said: "Daoist Chief, this apprentice has good qualifications, the spiritual root has already shown some signs, it is a cultivator of immortals, if you worship under my Taiyuan Gate, you may have the opportunity to step into the Immortal Dao in the future, but we still have important things, we can't take you together, if you have the heart, go to Nanyang City near Southern Xinjiang, look for the Taiyuan Gate Outer Gate to visit, report the name of the poor Dao, naturally someone will lead you up the mountain, this matter, we will go first!" ”
After Xu Chen finished speaking, a small medicine bottle landed in front of the old Taoist priest with a flick of his finger.
"This is a few pills of the elixir that washes the essence and the marrow, you can take it in advance, the poor Dao is called Xu Chen, and there will be a period later!"
The master and apprentice knelt on the ground together excitedly, and the old Taoist priest held the medicine bottle tightly with both hands and said with tears: "Immortal Master Xie, we will go to Nanyang City immediately." ”
"Well, now the world is unstable, take care on the road, and I'll see you when I go back to the mountain, and say goodbye!"
Xu Chen raised his hand and threw out the flying sword, stepped on it in one step, and Lan You also followed, two rays of light rose into the sky, and left the small city in the blink of an eye.
How the people in the city preached, Xu Chen and the others didn't care.
Although the two worlds of immortals and mortals are deeply entangled, they are also strangers, and there is no intersection between monks and ordinary people, even if there is any contact, they are all related to the royal family and the powerful family, and the Sanxiu family is somewhat implicated.
Therefore, Xu Chen will not talk to these ordinary people too much.
Lan You is even more so, the Yuqing Hall is high, the emperor is just a dog in their eyes, there is no respect at all, these disciples of them, almost never have any face-to-face and communication with ordinary people.
Like Xu Chen, the behavior of communicating with the two mortal Taoist priests and Yan Yuese, and even giving the elixir to enter the mountain gate, is even more unreasonable.
The Yuqing Palace's acceptance of disciples is very strict, and those who are not excellent in spiritual roots never consider it.
And the apprentices also give priority to the disciples of the inner and outer families, and then the royal nobles and those wealthy folk dogs, as for the children of ordinary poor people, unless they are traveling or experiencing going out, and the spiritual root is also very good, it may be possible to earn from the mountain gate, but this kind of opportunity is pitiful.
If mortals want to get immortal fate and step into the path of immortality, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
The people of such a remote town as in front of them may rarely see an immortal trace once in tens or hundreds of years.
Therefore, Xu Chen and the others came here to slay demons and eliminate demons, and they will be passed on forever like miracles.
Xu Chen is different from Lan You, he was born low and poor, so he does not discriminate against the ordinary people at the bottom, so he will not have a sense of superiority.
And the Taiyuan Gate and the Yuqing Hall are also completely different.
Taiyuan Gate itself started from the cold, more than 300 years ago the patriarch of the school was just a folk loose cultivator, because of the lack of resources, so the apprentices are also casual mentality, and the powerful and rich do not have much contact, but are from the folk to collect some poor children with spiritual roots and slowly cultivate.
Therefore, the hearts of the disciples of Taiyuan Sect are also more easy-going and harmonious, and they are also more kind and tolerant to ordinary people.
Because they suddenly discovered that this escaped bat soul beast had appeared in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, and caused turmoil and heavy casualties in the mortal world, so in the next time, Xu Chen and the others were not in a hurry to fly directly to the Yuqing Palace, but took the spirit bird to observe and search all the way near some villages and towns where the people in the mortal world were more dense.
After a few days in a row, they actually encountered a place where soul beasts were raging again.
This is a soul beast similar to a flying squirrel, its strength is not strong, but for ordinary mortals, it is as terrifying as a demon and a monster, directly leveling a small mountain village, when Xu Chen and the others found the soul beast, they found that it had collected a large number of human bodies, fused to form a terrifying body several zhang in size, and even created a lot of small soul beasts.
But fortunately, this kind of soul beast will not invade the divine soul, and will only kill and devour flesh and blood like a beast and demon beast, so it is easier to deal with, and it will be quickly killed by the two of them.
And after witnessing the damage caused by these two soul beasts, Xu Chen's good mood for traveling was also completely destroyed, and at the same time, he also felt that the situation was becoming more and more serious, and decided not to continue to stay on the road, but to go to the Yuqing Palace as soon as possible, report the matter to the top of the Yuqing Palace, and then solve it through the Immortal Alliance.
After all, the two of them were weak, and it was impossible for them to go all over the world to clean up and kill these scattered and escaped soul beasts.
In addition, soul beasts began to fuse human and animal flesh and soul to cast bodies, and the situation will inevitably become more complicated in the future.
It is even more unknown what kind of changes this change will bring to the fairy world and the mortal world.
According to what the two of them saw, after the soul beast cast the flesh and blood soul, its strength became even stronger, and ordinary soul beasts could almost reach the strength of second-order demon beasts, and the folk cultivators were almost impossible to deal with, not to mention those Jianghu knights and Fang Dao warlocks who were familiar with some simple talismans.
If this situation continues, it will eventually spiral out of control, and mortal chaos will be inevitable.
The Great Song Dynasty is like this, and the situation in the neighboring Ming Kingdom, Shu Kingdom, Wu Kingdom, Eastern Wilderness and other places that have been out of control will only become more erosive to the point that it cannot be cleaned up.
However, these are not the problems that Xu Chen, a scumbag monk, should consider.
The sky fell, and there was a tall man on top of it.
There are also high-ranking spiritual realm cultivators and those powerful Danyuan realm powerhouses in the immortal sects of various countries.
To what extent the situation will collapse in the end still depends on the growth rate of these soul beasts and the strength of the Immortal Gate.
However, Xu Chen was still faintly worried, I was afraid that the peaceful immortal realm would soon usher in a violent turmoil and great changes.
