Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 721 A Gathering of Heroes, Dragons and Tigers Unite

The strong winds and thick fog came very suddenly, not only covering Lu Zhangyin and Changsun Jing, but also restricting Shang Lu and Gongshu Ling's five senses.

In this situation, someone suddenly appeared in the fog and rushed towards them, which startled Shang Lu and Gongshu Ling.

The two reacted extremely quickly. Shang Lu drew his witch sword and immediately turned it around, unleashing a dazzling bloody light and fierce sword energy, about to slash at the two uninvited guests in the wind and fog!
The armor plates that Gongshu Ling had just retrieved were once again propelled out amidst the hum of the Spirit Vortex Reactor, ready to cooperate with Shang Lu to kill the enemy and break through the encirclement.

The figure rushing towards them was also quite strong, and extremely sensitive to auras and killing intent. Before the two could unleash their attacks, it shouted urgently:

"It's us!"

"We're on the same side, stop right there!"

Although they did not directly reveal their identities, the voice was indeed very familiar to Shang Lu and Gongshu Ling.

Shang Lu, in particular, was no longer surprised by the sudden appearance of the gale and fog after hearing the two voices.

These two are adept at summoning wind and exhaling mist.

Even the wind-summoning and mist-spitting technique that Shang Lu mastered was taught to him by these two.

As for whether they were illusions or enemy imposters, Shang Lu was not worried.

If it is an illusion, his mind will give him an immediate warning, and the Heart Sutra will also make him realize that something is wrong.

As for the enemy impersonating someone, that's even more impossible!
The pursuers had no idea who they were, so why would they impersonate these two to deceive them? They would be better off impersonating other patrolling officials or guardian spirits.

Besides, if it really was an enemy impersonating someone, Third Sister wouldn't have been so unresponsive.

Therefore, the ones who can summon wind and mist and obscure this world can only be those two!
Although it's unclear why they dared to defy convention and lend a helping hand, it was a good thing for Shang Lu and Gongshu Ling.

The two stopped their attack the moment they recognized the voice!

Fortunately, their cultivation levels were all quite high, and they were able to control their own power at will; otherwise, they might have accidentally injured their own people.

As soon as the words were spoken, the two figures rushed in front of Shang Lu and Gongshu Ling.

The thick fog surged away at that moment, restoring Shang Lu and Gongshu Ling's vision so they could clearly see the two figures rushing towards them.

They were not human, but a stone dragon and a stone tiger!
These were the dragon and tiger stone statues that Shang Lu had not seen when he returned to the Witchcraft Academy of Baiyi County—the Mountain Lord and the Cloud Lord.

Shang Lu suddenly remembered that Lu Dao had once told him that the Mountain Lord and the Cloud Lord had been summoned to Wushan. On his way to Wushan, he had also wondered if he would encounter the Mountain Lord and the Cloud Lord.

Unexpectedly, it was at this time, under these circumstances, that I met Master Shan and Master Yun.

After Shan Jun, Yun Jun, and Shang Lu and Gongshu Ling clearly saw their appearances, their figures flickered and, with the blooming of witch light, they transformed into human forms—two middle-aged people, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, one male and one female.

Ordinary appearance, average temperament, the kind of ordinary person who would be hard to spot in a crowd.

Because neither the Mountain Lord nor the Cloud Lord revealed their identities nor called out their names, Shang Lu and Gongshu Ling instantly understood their meaning—although the wind and fog shrouded this land, it could not be ruled out that there might be spies of the King of Ba or powerful clans hiding in this place.

Therefore, when they saw the Mountain Lord and the Cloud Lord, although they were pleasantly surprised, they did not call them by their names or address them as teachers. Instead, they asked, "Why are you two elders here?"

Yun Jun, who had transformed into a tall, slender woman, said urgently, "This is not the place to talk. Our wind and mist cannot hold them for long. Let's leave Wushan first and then catch up."

"Leave Wushan?" Shang Lu frowned.

The short, stout man, Shan Jun, spoke in a low voice but exuded a powerful aura.

“Your aura has been locked and your souls fixed. If you continue to stay in Wushan, they will catch up with you again soon. The only way is to leave Wushan first, get out of the range of the Qi-locking and Soul-fixing spell, and wait for it to wear off before trying to sneak back.”

The suggestions from Shan Jun and Yun Jun were both mature and prudent, but Shang Lu was unwilling to leave Wushan.

He couldn't abandon Bai Lingxu, Du Feng, and the others.

Moreover, given the current situation, it will only become more difficult to sneak back in after leaving Wushan!
Not to mention, Zi Shu Xun Shou and Lü Yang and the others are not only missing in their fates, but we haven't even been able to find any news about them. How could he leave so easily?

But if we don't leave, what method can we use to break the Qi-locking and soul-stabilizing spell?

Both the Mountain Lord and the Cloud Lord suggested they avoid it, which indicates that this curse is quite unusual; at least, the Mountain Lord and the Cloud Lord don't have a good way to deal with it.

Just as Shang Lu was about to ask Gongshu Ling, he suddenly saw San Niang raise her hand and point, saying softly, "The Witch Temple!"

Yes, the temple of witches!
Shang Lu reacted instantly.

No matter how powerful or difficult to break this Qi-locking and soul-stabilizing spell is, as long as they enter the witch temple, whether they seek the protection of the Earth Goddess, the Mountain Spirit, the Eastern Lord, or other deities, they can easily break this witch spell!
"Luckily, Third Sister reminded me. I was so caught up in the situation that I completely forgot I could go to the witch temple."

While sighing inwardly, Shang Lu quickly said, "We don't need to leave Wushan. I have a way to break this Qi-locking and Soul-stabilizing Curse! Come with me!"

He gave a shout and led Gongshu Ling, Shan Jun, and Yun Jun to follow San Niang's guidance to the nearest witch temple.

The Mountain Lord and the Cloud Lord stared at each other in astonishment.

They were surprised that Shang Lu had a way to break the Qi-locking and Soul-stabilizing Curse, and also surprised that Shang Lu could discern directions and know where to go in this fog.

For a moment, their minds were filled with questions, but they remained silent. After a brief hesitation, they chose to trust Shang Lu and ran after him.

As for Gongshu Ling, he didn't hesitate at all and followed Shang Lu immediately.

In her opinion, Shang Lu survived such a dangerous situation when he fled Chu Du. Not only did he survive, but his cultivation level also broke through two major realms!

This is more than just good fortune; it's practically divine favor!
Following someone like that will definitely not be a bad choice!

However, after running a certain distance, Shang Lu suddenly stopped.

"Why did you stop?"

"What is the problem?"

The Mountain Lord and the Cloud Lord spoke almost simultaneously.

Unlike Shang Lu and Gongshu Ling, the fog that enveloped the world was summoned and exhaled by them, and they were completely unaffected, able to see their surroundings clearly through it. Therefore, they were surprised that Shang Lu had suddenly stopped, assuming that he had made some discovery. However, they stared wide-eyed, looking left and right, but saw nothing at all.

"It would be a bit of a loss to just leave like this."

Shang Lu looked up at the sky. Although it was all foggy and he couldn't see anything, he knew that the pursuers were in this sea of ​​fog in the sky.

"I have to leave them with a surprise."

"surprise?"

Shan Jun and Yun Jun were stunned again. If it weren't for the inappropriate time and place, they would have liked to ask Shang Lu to explain what exactly a surprise meant.

Soon, Shang Lu left behind a "surprise" and once again led Gongshu Ling, Shan Jun, and Yun Jun, closely following San Niang, towards the nearest witch temple.

Not long after they left, Lu Zhangyin, Changsun Jing, and the others, who were trapped in the sky by the wind and fog, finally managed to disperse the wind and fog with their witchcraft, and also killed the "enemies" hiding in the wind and fog who were trying to ambush them.

Looking at the burning ashes, the faces of Master Lu, Changsun Jing, and the others turned extremely dark.

"Paper dolls? Humph!" Master Lu wanted to curse them as mere child's play, but he swallowed the words back.

Although they were not harmed by these paper figures, they were still thrown into a state of chaos and confusion.

If these paper figures are just a trivial skill, then what about their earlier disheveled state?
Therefore, he could only let out a heavy groan, then turned his gaze to Changsun Jing and the others, and said in a snarling voice, "This mist and paper figures don't seem to be the methods of the Snake! She has found accomplices whose strength is no weaker than hers!"

Even without his reminder, Changsun Jing and the others had already noticed the situation.

"We absolutely cannot let them escape!"

"Capturing such a treacherous traitor and handing him over to the King would be a great achievement!"

Changsun Jing chanted incantations, urging his bee worms to quickly locate the people, but to no avail. Even the Commandant of the Guards, who had been confident, changed his expression after performing the incantation, exclaiming in astonishment, "My Qi-Locking and Soul-Stabilizing Spell has actually lost track of their location!"

Upon hearing this, Master Lu and the others all looked astonished.

They all knew how powerful the Guardian's Qi-Locking and Soul-Stabilizing Curse was. Either they had escaped from Wushan and fled to another place, or they had powerful remnant spirit artifacts in their hands that could interfere with the Qi-Locking and Soul-Stabilizing Curse.

Otherwise, even celestial phenomena, divine intervention, or cultivators of higher realms might not be able to break this curse!

In such a short time, it's impossible for the rebellious traitors like the Snake to escape Wushan or the range of the Soul-Locking Curse.

Therefore, it must be that these treacherous officials and traitors are hiding some rare and magical treasures!
Under the leadership of the Grand Priest, the Wei Wu clan annihilated many powerful families and seized countless treasures. As one of the Twelve Patrols, the Si She (巳蛇) must possess many treasures, and their quality must be quite high.

If we can capture the Snake Hunting Clan and their group, we can take these powerful treasures for our own use!
Everyone felt a surge of warmth in their hearts, but they quickly frowned again: Where exactly have these traitors hidden?
Just as they were about to try other witchcraft and sorcery to find the whereabouts of the Snake Hunting Clan, a sharp and sinister laugh suddenly came from the streets below:
"Hehehe... What kind of Qi-locking and Soul-stabilizing Spell is this? It's nothing special! I'm in a good mood today, so I'll spare your lives for now. I'll come back in a few days to take your heads!"

This sentence was full of sarcasm and even contained a special power. Even though Lu Zhangyin, Changsun Jing and others had long since realized their true nature, they were still aroused by an inexplicable anger.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be enraged and lose their temper by those words.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, glaring angrily at the source of the mocking voice.

Changsun Jing shouted, "You cowardly scoundrels, hiding in the shadows, show yourselves before me!"

A surge of witchcraft energy, mixed with malevolent curses, emerged from the strips of cloth on his body covered in incantations, like fierce and venomous tentacles that roared out and instantly dragged him into the sky.

However, when Changsun Jing and his group saw what this person looked like, their anger not only did not subside, but intensified.

This was because the "person" had a deathly pale complexion and strange blush on his face, as if two smears of blood had been smeared on his face.

But it's still just a paper figure!
"Paper figures again." Changsun Jing's face was cold as he gritted his teeth and cursed, "Are all the people Da Zhu brought out running funeral shops? They use paper figures for everything they do."

The paper figure could actually understand Changsun Jing's words. It grinned sinisterly again and mocked, "Hehehe, you're right. It's a funeral parlor, run specifically for you guys. We won't close until we've sent you all away!"

Changsun Jing's gaze turned cold, and his nameless anger flared even more intensely. He was about to destroy the paper figure.

But just as he was about to act, he suddenly remembered something, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. He immediately changed his mind, and at the same time, his eyes rolled, and he sneered, "Heh heh, you're really stupid to leave behind a paper figure to mock us. This paper figure will contain your aura, allowing us to follow the clues and catch up with you again!"

Before the paper figure could react, Master Lu's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Let me do it!"

In a flash, he rushed to the paper figure, made hand seals and chanted incantations, unleashing a burst of witchcraft energy at the paper figure, intending to use it as a clue to trace and expose the treacherous officials hiding in the shadows.

As soon as Changsun Jing uttered his cry, Wei Wei raised an eyebrow. Seeing Lu Zhangyin so eager to show off and claim credit, a strange look flashed in his eyes. However, he did not speak, but instead retreated quickly and summoned a blood-flag-shaped magical artifact to protect himself.

Almost simultaneously, Changsun Jing also swiftly withdrew his witchcraft and Gu aura, and like the Commandant of the Guards, retreated.

The others were all taken aback by the reactions of Changsun Jing and the Commandant of the Guards.

Under the influence of his nameless rage, Lu Zhangyin did not notice any of this and unleashed his witch energy, blasting it towards the paper figure.

The paper figure instantly turned to ashes, but the two crimson spots on its cheeks turned into blood mist and entered Lu Zhangyin's witchcraft aura.

Without thinking too much, Master Lu urged his witch energy to force out the two plumes of blood mist, while cursing with a gloomy face, "To actually make the paper figures self-destruct, that's quite clever of them..."

He turned around, wanting to ask the Commandant of the Guards and Changsun Jing if they could use the blood mist to track down the whereabouts of those traitors, but he saw that the two of them had not only hidden in the distance, but were also on high alert.

Have those treacherous officials and rebels, including the Snake, returned to fight again?!

Master Lu was startled and hurriedly looked around, but saw nothing. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly felt the witch energy in his body become uncontrollable, churning wildly and impacting his internal organs and meridians.

It's as if this witchcraft is about to betray us and possess our bodies!
"what happened?!"

Master Lu felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if his body was about to explode. This terrified him, and he hurriedly urged his energy to regain control of the witch energy and suppress the maddened and rebellious witch energy!

But at that very moment, his physical body also changed, and multiple sores appeared.

Foul-smelling pus and blood gushed from the wound, and countless granulation tissues sprouted from it, turning into sharp spikes that pierced other parts of his body, like countless bloody, fang-like teeth!
At this moment, Lu Zhangyin's body actually wanted to "eat" itself!
