Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 281 Zijiang Beique
Chu Tai did not feel displeased when facing Arnold, who was a little afraid but still wanted his help.

He could feel that at this moment, Arnold was relying on the spiritual root peach wood branch in his hand to resonate with the entire blessed land and to establish a subtle connection with the masters of the Twelve Spiritual Rivers Pearl Palace, the Nine Rivers Beique and the Eight Rivers Water Palace.

This connection was not close, but because the difference in their cultivation levels was so great, Arnold developed a higher degree of empathy for them, which in turn affected his self-awareness.

With a wave of his hand, Chu Tai invoked the power of the Taiyi Golden Light Curse to stabilize Arnold's mind and spoke to comfort him.

"Don't be so nervous. They won't fail that easily. To put it bluntly, ordinary cultivators have to be careful when facing them to prevent themselves from being affected by the foreign laws and principles brought by their power. In addition, he has a burden by his side. If a fight really breaks out, it's unclear who will have the upper hand."

As he spoke, Chu Tai pulled Arnold along the waterway and entered the Beique of Zijiang River.

Compared with the Lingxi Pearl Palace in Dangzhong, the Zijiang Beique is closer to the core of the blessed land, but the overall decoration is simpler, and the monk standing in the center of the Beique is in worse condition than the "female immortal" in the Lingxi Pearl Palace in Dangzhong.

The man was wearing a Taoist robe and had a face as handsome as jade. On his forehead grew a pair of dragon horns that looked like coral, and behind him stood a dragon tail that looked like condensed flowing water.

The whole person stood in the rolling waves, two similar yet different Tao rhymes spread out from his body, turning into layers of rays of light flying up and down. This was one of the manifestations of being unable to control his own power.

When he saw Chu Tai and the other two enter, the Taoist sighed before they could speak.

"I didn't expect someone else to come. It's a pity that you came a step too late. Regarding the inheritance of the sect, I, Gu Le, have already made a choice."

Although he had expected this when he saw Shui Bo, after hearing this, Chu Tai still wanted to fight for it.

"The inheritance never said that it can only be opened by one person. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Gu Le could give me some convenience?"

"no!"

Taoist Gu Le shook his head and looked in the direction of the Water Spiritual Hall. Chu Tai said again: "Daoyou Gu Le, the Emei Sect has bad intentions. They want to seize the fate of the lineage and turn the blessed land of Youkan Sect into their lower house."

As he spoke, the light of the ancestor's spirit appeared in Chu Tai's hand again, and he pointed at Arnold and said, "He also has the right of inheritance. I hope you can help him."

"The spirit of the ancestor? The reincarnation of a direct disciple? It seems that you have a greater right of inheritance."

Taoist Gu Le's eyes darkened slightly. Chu Tai was about to say a few more words when he heard the Taoist sneer.

"But I don't agree. When the sect collapsed, I didn't see these ancestors help. Why should I listen to their words now?"

"Compared to them, at least the Emei Sect is more sincere and willing to help me to be liberated and practice."

At this point, Taoist Gu Le paused, stared at Arnold with some regret and said: "As for the reincarnation of the direct disciple, one is enough. You came late, so he has the advantage. It can only be said that this is your fate. Just like me..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tai understood what the "female fairy" in the Lingxi Pearl Palace in the Dangzhong meant by losing control. It was a loss of control over her own emotions and a loss of approval of the sect's philosophy.

But matters like the ancestor's rescue are a matter of personal opinion.

First of all, the collision happened suddenly in the two days that year, and the ancestors were not in the human world. They may have made some moves from a distance, but it was ineffective.

Secondly, the current situation of Youkanmen may not be unaffected by the protection of the ancestors.

Otherwise, based on the current situation of the cultivators in the blessed land, the blessed land itself should have been influenced by their increasingly powerful foreign laws and principles, and moved closer to the environment of the immortals. But this part was obviously regarded by the Taoist Gu Le in front of him as what the ancestor should do. In his current concept, it was the fault of the ancestor for not being able to fully protect him and others.

This is a very typical extreme change in temperament under the influence of foreign laws and principles.

Chu Tai, knowing that he couldn't explain himself to the other party, turned around and left with Arnold, but as soon as he moved again, water light blocked his way all around.

"I promised my fellow disciples of the Emei Sect that I would help them intercept the newcomers. Since that boy was a direct disciple in his previous life, would you stay here with me and wait for the inheritance to end?"

While speaking, Taoist Gu Le did not give Chu Tai and the other two any chance to choose.

Under his feet, countless thin green rays naturally rose up and spread outwards, like countless branches and vines, spreading everywhere. Precious light rose up from the branches and leaves, intertwining up and down, weaving like a net, enveloping the surroundings in lush greenery and completely blocking the exit.

There were also mysterious scriptures that constantly appeared and disappeared in the precious light, demonstrating another wonderful way of practicing water magic. They spread outward in an extremely corrosive way, trying to pull Chu Tai and the others into it.

"In this case, I can only offend you."

Seeing what Taoist Gu Le was thinking, Chu Tai took action immediately. He released a jade landscape screen and took Arnold into it. Then he waved the purple bamboo branch casually, and the vital energy began to fluctuate, turning into waves of sound that spread outwards.

Taoist Gu Le ignored him and stretched out his hand. Flowers blossomed among the branches and vines all around, and clear lights gushed out. They touched the roof of Beique and fell again, like hanging raindrops or a veil of gauze, and in an instant a defensive formation was set up.

The tidal sound generated by the purple bamboo branches fell into it, like a moth to a flame. Before it could get close, it was torn into pieces by countless points of light.

Chu Tai stretched out his hand again, and the scorpion-tail sword flew out, turning into a sword light that flashed across the sky, cutting through the veil of the curtain, and a drizzle of light fell towards Taoist Gu Le.

The sword light was so swift and sharp that it was difficult to describe, but Gu Le just shook his head.

After practicing to their level, who wouldn’t have two or three means of self-defense?

Although flying swords are sharp, they are not invincible in the world, otherwise the current immortal path would be dominated by sword immortals.

What's more, Chu Tai is not first-rate in the art of flying sword, and he relies more on the sharpness of the flying sword itself.

This kind of method is not difficult to deal with.

Taoist Gu Le raised his hand and pressed down. The water light behind him was like a waterfall, hanging upside down, and turned into a big hand that slapped forward and collided with the sword light. Branches and vines grew out of the water light, layer upon layer, and entangled it.

Then, with a flick of his long sleeves, the water vapor turned into a dragon that flew into the sky and fell towards Chu Tai and the other two.

Seeing this, Chu Tai casually threw out the Five Dragons Demon-Slaying Wheel, and the five elements of energy gathered together, transforming into five dragon phantoms circling, turning up and down, and crushing the dragon.
At the same time, two chains stretched out from the void and crossed into a heart shape beside him.

"Five Dragons Demon-Slaying Wheel? Qianyuan Ruyi Heart-Transforming Lock? Are you a disciple of Yin Jing Sect?"

Taoist Gu Le took two steps back and swung the dragon's tail behind him. A water flag flew out from the waves and swayed in the air. Suddenly, heavy waves rolled up, white foam splashed, and turned into a water curtain, blocking the revolving lock.
