Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 129: Fighting the Enemy with Evil Means
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beam of light shooting out from a distance. It suddenly stopped, revealing a young monk wearing a black Taoist robe, with a tall stature and bright eyes. It was Chen Yuan, who had been following the group of monks with untied hair.

This group of people have already killed three groups of monks and snatched enough spiritual herbs. Now is the best time to take action.

When everyone in the field saw Chen Yuan riding the light of escape coming, they were all surprised. When would they be able to enter the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain and become a foundation-building cultivator?
But the two Lingyun Sect disciples reacted quickly. No matter how this person entered the secret realm, he was wearing the standard robes of the Lingyun Sect and his words showed that he wanted to save them. The most important thing was to save their lives first.

One of the thin disciples bowed and said, "Disciple Yun Fang, thank you for saving my life!"

Another short and fat disciple quickly followed suit and saluted: "Disciple Duan Changyu, greetings to Uncle Master!"

Chen Yuan took two steps forward, nodded slightly, and said, "No need to be polite. I'm Chen Yuan, you can just call me Uncle Chen."

"Yes, Uncle Chen!"

Then Chen Yuan looked at the monk with long hair and said coldly: "Your methods are not like those of a monk, but rather like those of a monster. Ziyang Sect has always claimed to be the orthodox sect of Xuanmen, but I didn't expect there would be such a crooked and evil way."

The monk with long hair changed his expression and argued: "I practice the secret method of physical cultivation, which is also the orthodox Xuanmen!"

Chen Yuan said: "If you are a physical cultivator, with this method, you should have broken through the foundation building stage. Why is your aura still at the tenth level of Qi Refining? Don't quibble. Wait until I kill you, and then I can find out the truth."

As soon as these words were spoken, the five Zi Yang Sect disciples, including the monk with untied hair, all showed fear on their faces.

They also knew that a monk with untied hair could fight against a level 2 demon beast, but could not compete with a monk who was at the foundation-building stage.

The biggest reliance of low-level monsters is their strong physical bodies. At most, they have one or two innate secret skills, so they are not difficult to deal with. Even several Qi Refining monks working together can kill them.

The true essence of the foundation-building cultivators is profound, and they can control spiritual tools and perform spiritual arts. They are far from being a match for the cultivators with untied hair who gain the foundation-building strength through trickery.

But since Chen Yuan had already said this, there was no room for maneuver and he had to give it a try.

The monk with untied hair roared, and a layer of yellow light reappeared on his body surface, and he rushed towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan stroked his storage bag, took out the four magical weapons: Silver Gang Sword, Purple Bee Needle, Silver Gang Sword, and Seven Star Blade, and attacked together, saying, "My two junior brothers, attack with me!"

Uncle Master gave the order, so Yun Fang and Duan Changyu did not dare to delay and immediately raised their magic weapons to attack the Zi Yang Sect disciples.

When the monk with untied hair saw that Chen Yuan was offering up magical weapons, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

This foundation-building cultivator from the Lingyun Sect seems to be just a figurehead.

He stomped the ground suddenly and rushed towards Chen Yuan like an arrow.

As long as he gets within ten feet of Chen Yuan, there will be a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Chen Yuan knew what he was thinking. He changed the spell in his hand and the fixed light mirror shot out a thick white beam of light that was as solid as a substance. It shone on the monk with untied hair and froze him for a moment.

At the same time, he moved his mind, rode on the light, flew into the air, and distanced himself from the monk with untied hair.

He himself is a physical cultivator and knows best how to deal with physical cultivators.

As long as you don't let the monk with untied hair get close to you, you will be invincible.

When the monk with untied hair saw Chen Yuan being so cautious, his heart sank, and he knew that there was no chance of winning this battle.

But he had no intention of surrendering. He roared wildly, and a yellow light shone from his body. The flying Silver Sword and Seven Star Blade all fell down.

However, he himself became much lighter and rushed towards the two Lingyun sect disciples.

Even if he dies today, he will take these two people with him!

Chen Yuan didn't expect the monk with long hair to be so stubborn. He fixed his eyes and said, "You two should retreat immediately!"

As he spoke, he controlled the fixed light mirror and released a white beam of light, which froze the monk with untied hair for a moment.

At the same time, the Silver Sword and the Seven-Star Blade slashed out together, hitting the monk with untied hair, but did not leave any trace, and could only slightly hinder his forward momentum.

When Yun Fang and Duan Changyu saw the untied-haired monk rushing towards them, they were terrified and did not bother to fight with the Zi Yang Sect disciples anymore and quickly withdrew.

The four Zi Yang Sect disciples were overjoyed to see how brave the monk with untied hair was, and they intensified their attacks.

As they walked along, they only saw the monk with untied hair fighting monsters and displaying his supernatural power. They did not know that he had run out of tricks and thought that he had a way to defeat the enemy.

The weapons Chen Yuan used were all magical instruments, which were far inferior to those of the foundation-building cultivators they usually saw. They thought that he was just a show-off, and that if the five of them worked together, they might have a chance of winning.

Little did they know that Chen Yuan just wanted to protect Yun Fang and Duan Changyu and let them serve as personal witnesses in front of the Jindan cultivators from various sects, which made him seem helpless against the untied-haired cultivator.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of these two people that Chen Yuan cannot use the power of physical cultivation.

This is his biggest trump card, and his physical cultivation technique is rare in the world and cannot be easily revealed to others.

If he were alone, he would only need to punch twice to break the yellow light shield on the body of the untied-haired monk.

But even without using the power of physical cultivation, Chen Yuan could still adopt the art of mobile fighting to deal with the monk with untied hair.

He used magic weapons to fight the enemy, consuming very little true energy and could last for several hours.

The monk with long hair borrowed the power of the demon pill to perform secret techniques, but it could not last long. In the next half an hour, Chen Yuan was not in a hurry. He used the Dingguang Mirror, the Silver Gang Sword, and the Purple Bee Needle to harass the monk with long hair, and did not forget to fly in the air to prevent the monk from getting within ten feet of him.

At the same time, he controlled five Seven-Star Blades and joined forces with Yun Fang and Duan Changyu to kill the other four Ziyang Sect disciples one by one, leaving only the monk with untied hair.

Yun Fang and Duan Changyu's magic power had long been exhausted. They watched Chen Yuan fighting with the untied-haired monk with solemn expressions.

They knew that they would definitely not die this time.

But the two of them were surprised that the monk with untied hair could hold on for so long.

Even though this Uncle Master Chen is a bit shabby and doesn't have any spiritual weapon in his hand, he is still a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He has an overwhelming advantage over a Qi Refining cultivator.

The monk with untied hair could fight with the monk who was building his foundation for less than half an hour. Even if he was passively beaten the whole time and had no power to fight back, it was enough for him to be proud of himself.

However, as time passed, the yellow light on the untied-haired monk's body became dimmer and dimmer, and he was finally unable to resist the Silver Sword any more. Chen Yuan used a fixed-light mirror to fix his body, and stabbed him in the heart with a sword, killing him instantly.

Yun Fang and Duan Changyu both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the untied-haired monk finally died.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, activated his true energy, and the Silver Sword flew back.

But at this moment, a yellow pill the size of a walnut slid out from the wound of the untied-haired monk and fell to the ground.

"Huh? This is..."

Yun Fang let out a light exclamation and subconsciously took two steps forward, but then he remembered that Chen Yuan was beside him, so he stopped and turned to look over, saying, "Uncle Chen, this pill seems to have fallen out of this person's heart."

Chen Yuan frowned slightly, raised his hand, picked up the yellow pill, looked at it carefully, and asked in confusion: "Could this be a demon pill?"

When these words were spoken, Yun Fang and Duan Changyu were both shocked.

The monk with untied hair is a human cultivator, how could a demon pill fall from his heart?
Chen Yuan raised his hand and sent the yellow pill to Yun Fang and Duan Changyu, saying, "You can take a look too."

The two of them probed their spiritual consciousness into the pill and examined it carefully. After a while, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

Yun Fang murmured, "I have seen a fourth-level demon pill in the hands of my master. It is very similar to this pill. There is no doubt about it. This is a demon pill, and a fourth-level demon pill at that!"

Duan Changyu frowned and said, "This demon pill is completely empty. All the demonic power and blood have dissipated, but it can still remain intact. It's really strange..."

Having said this, he suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Yun Fang also realized something and said in surprise: "The amazing defensive power and the yellow light secret technique that this person just displayed, could it be that they all rely on this demon pill?"

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, his face solemnly saying: "That should be the case. I didn't expect that Ziyang Sect actually had such a strange secret technique that could implant the demon pill into the body of a cultivator, allowing them to have strength comparable to that of a foundation-building cultivator."

Yun Fang and Duan Changyu were both terrified. Such secret techniques were something they had never heard of or seen before.

The two then thought of another thing. They wondered how many other Zi Yang Sect monks in the secret realm had demon pills implanted in their bodies, just like this monk with untied hair?
Yun Fang and Duan Changyu looked at each other and saw deep fear in each other's eyes.

They were lucky this time and met Chen Yuan, so they were able to survive.

What if I meet someone like this with a demon pill implanted in his body again?

At this moment, Chen Yuan suddenly raised his hand and took the storage bag of the nameless Zi Yang Sect disciple. He probed his spiritual sense into it and started to check.

Yun Fang and Duan Changyu were a little puzzled, and then they saw Chen Yuan's expression change slightly. He raised his hand and a pile of items appeared out of thin air in front of him.

When they both looked at it, their expressions changed drastically.

Inside are the identity jade tags of Lingyun Sect disciples, the flying swords of Tiangang Sword Sect disciples, the spirit beast bags of Wanshou Mountain disciples, the Yin flags of Mingyin Valley disciples, and eight or nine various magical instruments.

Yun Fang said in a trembling voice: "This, this is Senior Brother Zhang's Yunlong Ding. He also died in this person's hands!"

Duan Changyu also recognized the magic weapons of the two Lingyun sect disciples and showed a look of fear on his face.

Chen Yuan said solemnly: "This man relied on the power of the demon pill to act recklessly and killed many disciples from various sects. Fortunately, he was killed today, so that my two nephews did not suffer from this murderous hand."

Upon hearing this, both of them showed gratitude on their faces, bowed deeply to Chen Yuan, and kept thanking him.

Chen Yuan waved his hand and said, "No need to do this. I was once like you, struggling to survive in the secret realm. How can I sit back and do nothing when encountering this?"

Yun Fang was surprised and asked, "Has Uncle Chen entered the secret realm before?"

Duan Changyu also looked at Chen Yuan with a puzzled look on his face.

They all thought that Chen Yuan was a Jindan elder of the Lingyun Sect, or even a foundation-building cultivator who was sent into the secret realm by the sect leader Xuan Yuanzi at a huge cost, specifically to collect spiritual herbs. They never thought that he had entered the secret realm before.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Like you, I am entering the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm for the first time, but I have been here for ten years and have not yet left."

Thanks for the reward from Decadent Days!
