Chapter 322: Another Confrontation

Half a minute later, Chu Tai let the female cultivator's true spirit, whose cultivation had been stripped away, leave. He looked in the direction Hong Yue left and whispered, "She escaped quickly. But he was able to find out something was wrong so quickly, so it seems he has some special abilities."

As he spoke, Chu Tai broke through Hong Yue's layout of this place, took out several special magic weapons, and placed them in the corresponding positions.

During the whole process, Chu Tai followed the ability of the Dao Fruit Fragment [Seventh Grade·Blessings] to rule a place and balance yin and yang, sorted out the veins and energy of the earth, and gained control of this place through simple rituals.

After occupying a certain geographical advantage, Chu Tai did not go to find Hong Yue immediately.

Chu Tai, who had obtained a lot of information from the female cultivator, knew very well that Hong Yue was a timid and insidious guy. He would hide in the dark and attack, but would never come to the front. He also liked to bribe, bewitch, and plot against others.

As far as the female cultivator knew, seven righteous cultivators were plotted against by him and all died at his hands. The difference between the seven people was that some were used many times and then killed in ambushes, such as Taoist Qinglu from Zixiao Palace, while others were unwilling to cooperate from the beginning and were suppressed by him.

Generally speaking, Taoist Hong Yue has abilities, good cultivation, and many hidden cards.

Rather than looking for trouble with such an enemy at this moment, Chu Tai felt that it would be more important to sort out the energy points that the female cultivator knew about and gain partial control over them.

To put it bluntly, if Chu Tai had mastered the basic Qi points controlled by Hong Yue, even if Hong Yue wanted to sacrifice blood to the earth veins in the later stage, he would only be beaten by Chu Tai.

As a second best option, if Chu Tai usurps half or even one third of the energy points controlled by Hong Yue, he will be able to form a powerful resistance during the blood sacrifice to the earth veins and protect most of the living beings in the area.

The most important thing is that many of the Dao Fruit fragments that Chu Tai possesses contain information about earth veins and qi points. Combined with his [Mountain and River] magic, he can easily find many qi points that Hong Yue has concealed.

As one magic weapon after another was buried into the qi points, Hong Yue became a little restless.

He ordered the monks from Meishan Sect, Maoshan Taoism, Pu'an Sect, Lushan Sect and other side sects to dig out the magic weapons left by Chu Tai.

In the memory of the female cultivators of the Naked Sect, most of these side sect cultivators were lured here by Hong Yue, and when they heard that there was a chance to obtain some magic weapons of good quality, they naturally wanted to try.

However, Chu Tai had the courage to leave the magic weapon behind, so he was sure that no one would take it away.

Holding the Taiyi Youxian Banner, combined with the power of [Flying Immortal], he can travel to various places easily.

The dragon and tiger double hooks are not something that these side sect monks with only sixth-grade cultivation can resist. As soon as the rainbow bridge falls and the double hooks start dancing, the person who attacks will be killed.

Afterwards, Chu Tai used the ability of [Blessings] to turn misfortune into good fortune and cleanse the aura left by those cultivators.

Although this approach would take more time, Chu Tai still did not mind doing it, and it would not affect his subsequent dealings with those monks who stole the treasure.

Hong Yue, who was observing the changes in the energy pockets from afar, had to admit that with the cards he had in his hand, no one could stop Chu Tai unless he did it himself, let alone release those energy pockets.

'Why don't you just give up?'

Hong Yue played with the Five Turbidities and Eight Winds Banner in his hand, and the idea of ​​abandoning the layout here arose in his mind.

But when he thought of the recent changes in the major sects in the Central Plains and the signs of the rise of several Taiyi Immortal Sect inheritances, Hong Yue could no longer bear it.

'After this time, will I still have a chance to obtain the complete Taiyi Immortal Sect inheritance?'

Hong Yue took out a map of the earth veins called Jinhua Huangyulu, which described in detail the operation rules and changing trends of the earth veins around the Jinhua Sect's inheritance cave. This place was the most suitable place for Hong Yue to find.

"If we abandon this place and move to another place..."

His finger moved across the geomantic map and landed on another circled location. Hong Yue's eyes narrowed slightly.

'Although there is a possibility of success, it is at least one third smaller than here. And this part is missing, which means that I can only enter the cave normally at most. It is difficult to truly guide the change of the cave's position, disrupt the earth veins and aura, and gain more advantages. The most important thing is that if the location of the cave cannot be changed, it will be difficult for the Emei Sect to interfere with the Jinhua Cave near their jurisdiction...'

Thinking of this, Hong Yue couldn't help but look towards the direction of Mount Emei, his eyes full of disdain.

'These guys are ridiculous. They have clearly decided to steal the luck of Taiyi Xianmen, but when the time comes, they are looking for excuses to flaunt their own righteousness, as if this can cover up the fact that they stole the luck of other sects. This makes it much more difficult for me to lure them into the game.'

Thinking of this, Hong Yue thought of something again and shook his head.

"No, it should be said that many of my actions were actually condoned by them."

He raised his head to look at Emei again, then turned to look at Wutai Mountain, his thoughts changing.

'These guys had already begun calculating the secrets of heaven and planning the fate of Taiyi Xianmen long before the Jiazi year. If the Wutai Sect had not also wanted to gather the fate of Taiyi Xianmen and had been interfering with each other, they might have already started. Whether it is Wutai or Emei, they need certain variables to influence the other party's layout, and this is one of the reasons why I was able to intervene before.'

"But now the situation is gradually becoming clearer, and with the addition of a major variable like the legitimate successor of Taiyi Xianmen, I am afraid that the time will soon come for me to be an unstable factor. Therefore, this layout may be my last chance..."

Hong Yue closed his eyes, and after figuring this out, he no longer hesitated. He released all the people he had tricked, and headed for the next Qi point in Chu Tai.

This place where the spiritual energy of the earth's veins converge is a spiritual place arranged by Hong Yue in his early years, in which he did not make too many backup plans.

Therefore, the moment he landed, he waved the Five Turbidities and Eight Winds Banner, and thirty-six rays of mysterious light flew in it and fell according to the directions of the Earthly Branches, transforming into a forest of banners, and their auras collided to form a flag gate light tower.

Then he took out three or four magic weapons from his arms and placed them in different positions, drawing the spiritual energy of the surrounding earth veins and blurring his own aura.

After doing all this, Taoist Hong Yue hid himself again and hid in the dark waiting for Chu Tai's arrival.

As for Chu Tai, as more and more magic weapons were buried, he gradually mastered the energy of the double dragons playing with a pearl here. Combined with the converging "fate", he had already sensed it when Hong Yue started to arrange the flag gate formation.

He first used the mist summoned by "Lord in the Clouds" to conceal his own form, and went to several nearby acupoints to make arrangements. Then he quickly rushed to the area where Hong Yue was, and began to purify the earth veins as if without noticing.

At the moment when Chu Tai took action, Hong Yue activated the flag gate changes, and instantly a cloud of gloom and mist covered the surrounding area for dozens of miles, with blazing green flames and numerous ghostly shadows in the middle.

As Hong Yue waved the Five Turbidities and Eight Winds Banner in his hand, wisps of mist immediately rose from the surrounding earth veins, forming a large ball of lead-colored clouds in mid-air. Green flames fell into it, forming hundreds of thousands of green thunderbolts, which blasted towards Chu Tai.

Although he had been prepared, Chu Tai was still startled when he saw the incoming attack. The terrifying pressure almost made him want to take out the Miro Umbrella to deal with it.

But he was worried that Hong Yue would escape immediately if he saw no chance of winning, so he settled for the next best thing and released the Five Dragons Demon-Slaying Wheel. The five elements of spiritual light surrounded it in the air, like a dazzling halo, surrounded by five-colored clouds, and greeted the green thunderbolt.
