After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 801 Ancient Camphor Tree, a Vast Grove of Spiritual Plants!
"So, does that mean the Northern Emperor Sect can be considered a reputable and righteous sect?"

"Yes, they are indeed a prestigious and righteous sect, but they are too domineering. In the mortal world, they define what is good and evil. If they think you are an evil sect, they will kill you without mercy. Too much rigidity leads to breakage. They have committed a major taboo."

"I must say, I quite like this style," Chen Yang said.

"Heh, don't you dare learn from that, or the Northern Emperor's Sect's yesterday will be your tomorrow."

……

Chen Yang shook his head and said no more.

In the afternoon, he mixed several buckets of water with some strong herbicide and added the venom of the lychee worm, making more than 200 kilograms of poison.

This poisonous scheme is specifically designed for plants, and it should also be extremely harmful to spiritual plants.

Multiple measures are necessary to be prepared for any eventuality.

In the backyard, Chen Yang took some liquid and sprinkled it on a patch of grass.

The weeds that came into contact with the liquid dried out noticeably within minutes, and within ten minutes or so, they withered completely, their once lush green leaves turning scorched black.

Although it's not as terrifying as using tussock venom directly, the effect is still quite good.

After all, the venom of the tussock bug is limited.

There was still some undiluted venom left. Chen Yang took out some arrows and smeared the venom on the arrowheads.

Everything is ready; we're just waiting to meet tomorrow for the battle.

……

-

The next day, early in the morning.

At Jianfeng Temple on Bamian Mountain, the monks had already been taken away. At this moment, besides Li Changfu, there were more than a dozen men in the temple.

Some of these people were skilled fighters from the Li family, while the rest were independent cultivators from the Panshan region hired by the Li family from outside.

Many of them were at the third or fourth rank of cultivation, and none of them had reached the Spirit Realm.

Li Changfu sat in the backyard, where the sycamore tree used to grow, but now it was empty.

Knowing that something big was about to happen, even if the sycamore tree didn't want to leave, it had to go out and hide to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

The sun had risen, and the entire Bamian Mountain was covered in a layer of gold leaf.

Li Changfu didn't sleep a wink last night.

In fact, he arrived yesterday afternoon, and unsurprisingly, he did not encounter Li Chunxiao here, nor could he contact her.

This is enough to prove that this was a setup, and his good niece, Li Chunxiao, was probably involved as well.

What an ungrateful wretch! He actually helped outsiders turn against his own people, causing the Li family to be destroyed and ruined.

Since you guys want to play, let's have some fun.

After so many years of silence, do you really think the Li family has done nothing all these years?
You wouldn't know the Li family's true strength if they didn't show their power.

Li Changfu clenched his fists, feeling his blood gradually boiling. Something that had been dormant in his veins for many years seemed to awaken at this moment, and he finally experienced the feeling of boiling blood once again.

No matter who you are, even if there are official involvements, you've already come to blows in my face. Even if I kill you all, you deserve it.

At this moment, Li Changfu's aged eyes held only the word "kill".

Time passed by minute by minute.

Li Changfu sat there from morning until afternoon, and then from afternoon until dusk.

The person he was waiting for never appeared.

"Senior, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should."

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked towards Li Changfu.

Upon hearing this, Li Changfu raised his eyebrows slightly.

The middle-aged man said, "What if the person you're waiting for doesn't come? I mean, what if they're using a diversionary tactic, luring you here while actually fleeing to the Sword Sect..."

Upon hearing this, Li Changfu's face instantly fell.

He was too angry to have considered this possibility.

If the old Jianmen residence were attacked at this time, I'm afraid...

However, his brows quickly relaxed again.

If the opponent uses a diversionary tactic, it proves that they are wary of me and that their strength is inferior.

Even if the Li family's old house is taken over, he can regain control of the situation after he goes back.

No matter what moves the opponent makes, they will eventually have to face him. The Li family's strength lies within him.

"Susu..."

As the sun set and the last rays of sunlight faded from the horizon, a rustling sound came from behind Li Changfu.

Immediately, a large number of leaves and branches sprouted from the spot where the sycamore tree was growing, turning up the soil in the flower bed.

A huge camphor tree rose from the ground, its trunk several meters thick, enough for several people to hug, and it burst the flower bed.

The tree is nearly thirty meters tall, with a huge canopy that blocks out the sun.

The tree was covered with tiny black fruits, densely packed together, like marbles.

A strange fragrance instantly filled the temple.

Just one whiff of it makes you feel dizzy.

The middle-aged man, along with the dozen or so people gathered around him, froze in place, trembling uncontrollably at the sight.

Li Changfu remained seated, seemingly oblivious.

"They've arrived, they're at the foot of the mountain!"

An aged voice rang in Li Changfu's ears.

Upon hearing this, Li Changfu used his spiritual power to probe down the mountain.

A young man was walking up the mountain step by step.

His eyes flickered; this scene was clearly not what he had imagined.

It turned out to be a young man, and besides this young man, he didn't see anyone else.

The young man climbed the mountain slowly, empty-handed, giving the impression that he was someone who had come to climb the mountain.

Could such a young man be the murderer who caused the Li family to be destroyed?
"Could there be a mistake?" Li Changfu frowned.

"There's no mistake, this person has concealed his aura, his true cultivation level should be quite high," the aged voice said.

"Is it?"

Li Changfu raised an eyebrow. "Then let Tao Wu go and test the waters first."

……

-

At the foot of the mountain, Chen Yang deliberately slowed his pace.

The reason for choosing this time to go up the mountain is simply because there might be tourists on the mountain during the day, and it would be more convenient to do things at night.

He had just scanned the mountain with his primordial spirit and had already detected several powerful auras.

This Li Changfu was clearly prepared.

Chen Yang was also eager to see just how much wealth the Li family, this powerful clan of spiritual plants, had accumulated over the years, how many spiritual plants they had created, and what surprises they could bring him.

Saddle Stone.

Near the foot of Jianfeng Temple, there is a forest on the mountainside. At the entrance of the forest is a huge rock that looks like a saddle, hence the name of the forest.

The forest is located on a flat area halfway up the mountain, where various kinds of miscellaneous trees grow. A path winds through the forest, and a thick layer of dead leaves has accumulated on the ground.

A faint floral fragrance permeated the woods.

On both sides of the mountain path, many oleanders grew, and the flowers were in full bloom.

Round, pink flowers dot the forest, giving the quiet mountains a beautiful evening makeover.

There were no cicadas chirping or birds singing in the woods.

Even a fool could see there was something wrong.

Chen Yang, however, seemed oblivious and walked directly into the woods.

"Susususu..."

When Chen Yang arrived in the middle of the forest, strange noises suddenly arose from the woods. Oleander branches surrounded Chen Yang from all directions, quickly trying to wrap around him.

The flowers release an intense, toxic fragrance that could knock down an adult elephant within seconds.

Unfortunately, he encountered Chen Yang.

His S-level biological toxin immunity allows him to completely ignore the vast majority of poisons.

"Humph!"

Chen Yang snorted coldly, and his true energy burst forth, transforming into streaks of sword energy that shot out.

"Shhhhh..."

In an instant, the oleander tree was pulverized, and its branches, leaves, and blossoms flew everywhere.

……

"Ding! S-rank spirit plant [Oleander] detected. Encyclopedia unlocked. Reward: [Heart-Questioning Pill] *1. The item has been placed in the system space and can be retrieved at any time."

……

Item: Heart-Questioning Pill

"Introduction: Taking this product can slightly improve one's mental cultivation."

……

"Ding, mission issued."

"Task: Hunt the S-rank spirit plant [Oleander], progress (0/1)."

"Reward: 1 Spirit Pill".

……

Several pieces of information instantly appeared in Chen Yang's mind.

"what?"

A sudden mental fluctuation arose, tinged with panic.

It was clearly this oleander that attacked Chen Yang.

Chen Yang didn't even lift a finger; he simply released his true essence and shaved off most of its branches.

Oleander was terrified, knowing she was no match for Chen Yang, and without a word, she fled out of the woods.

"Buzz!"

Chen Yang directly used his primordial spirit to fiercely attack the oleander plant.

In an instant, the oleander stopped in its tracks.

Under the overwhelming pressure of the primordial spirit, it was completely stunned and unable to escape. Chen Yang, holding a long-handled broadsword, walked over and thrust it down, instantly severing its roots and prying them up.

……

"Ding, mission complete."

"Hunting S-rank spirit plant [Oleander]*1, reward: [Spirit Pill]*1, experience points +10000."

……

"Item: Zhuangshen Pill."

"Description: After consumption, you can randomly gain 10 to 50 points of Yuan Shen cultivation."

……

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow.

One enhances one's state of mind, and the other enhances one's spiritual essence; that's not bad.

He left the oleander tree by the roadside without even glancing at it, and walked straight through the woods towards the mountain.

……

-

At the mountaintop, there is Jianfeng Temple.

"Tao Wu is dead."

The camphor tree trunk trembled slightly, and the aged voice echoed in Li Changfu's mind once more.

Li Changfu merely frowned slightly, seemingly showing no sign of regret.

"It seems this young man does indeed have some skill."

Li Changfu clicked his tongue. "So young, could he be that one from Emei?"

A while ago, a young disciple at the Creation Realm of Emei Sect was rumored to have emerged. He was quite famous, and although many people had never seen his face, his reputation was already widespread.

To be able to take down Tao Wu so easily, one must be at the Creation Realm level, and at such a young age, the suspect pool is very small.

Li Changfu guessed the man's identity almost immediately.

Does the Li family have any grudge against this person?
That shouldn't be the case, right?

It seems that it is indeed related to Emei Mountain. Since it is related to Emei Mountain, it must be related to the authorities.

"Elder Zhang, have you discovered any other powerful individuals?" Li Changfu asked.

The camphor tree trunk trembled slightly, and a powerful surge of primordial spirit energy was rapidly released, almost instantly enveloping the entire Bamian Mountain.

"No."

Soon, the camphor tree gave Li Changfu his answer.

Upon hearing this, Li Changfu revealed a sinister smile. "This kid thinks he can come to the meeting all by himself? Does he even know what death means?"

"wrong."

At this moment, the camphor tree's voice rang out, "At the foot of the northern mountain, there is a centipede, whose strength is probably at the mid-stage of the Dao True Realm."

Li Changfu frowned slightly. "Traveling with this kid?"

"I don't know, but we have to be careful about it appearing at this time," said the camphor tree.

Li Changfu took a deep breath. "Have Pu Sanniang and the two elders of the Sha family go to the north foot of the mountain to intercept it. Also, have Bi Niang lure this kid down the mountain to Elder Mao's place..."

He quickly made his plans, his eyes flashing with cold light, "Today, even if the three eminent monks of Emei come, I will make them all perish here..."

The Three Divine Monks of Emei?
If Chen Yang were here, he would probably burst out laughing when he heard Li Changfu's boast.

If the three eminent monks of Emei were to arrive, this fellow would probably only have one option left: to flee for his life.

……

Halfway up the mountain, the sky was gradually darkening. Chen Yang looked up at the summit and could vaguely see the location of Jianfeng Temple.

At this point, if we could just request the authorities to send a missile directly at the target, how simple and convenient that would be!

The idea is a bit unrealistic.

Chen Yang withdrew his gaze, deciding to take matters into his own hands, since what he wanted was experience and rewards.

One shot and everything's gone; there's no experience or reward to be gained.

The radar was activated, and the ground ahead shifted, revealing a giant cactus that burst forth from beneath the ground and hid behind a rock by the mountain path.

Late stage of the Creation Realm.

It's another Creation Realm spiritual plant, and it's even in the late Creation Realm.

Just how much wealth and power does the Li family possess?
Chen Yang was still shocked. The Li family had always kept a low profile and kept a low profile for decades. They had actually cultivated so many powerful spiritual plants in private. It was unimaginable how many trump cards Li Changfu was hiding.

Cacti, desert plants, have all made their way out, and they're not afraid of not adapting to the new environment.

Chen Yang walked over without changing his expression.

"Whoosh!"

When they were still about fifty meters away, the cactus shook its leaves, and dozens of sharp thorns instantly tore through the air, shooting towards Chen Yang like a volley of arrows.

Sneak attack!

ridiculous.

Chen Yang shuddered, releasing his sword intent, and dozens of streams of true essence transformed into sword energy and shot out.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

The sword energy collided with the spikes and was instantly annihilated.

"what?"

A mental fluctuation came from ahead.

It was that cactus. It was clearly a woman's voice, tinged with surprise.

Before Chen Yang could get close, it turned around and ran up the mountain.

……

"Ding! S-rank spiritual plant [Cactus] detected. Encyclopedia unlocked. Reward: [Heart-Questioning Pill] *1. Item has been placed in system space and can be retrieved at any time."

……

Item: Heart-Questioning Pill

"Introduction: Taking this product can slightly improve one's mental cultivation."

……

"Ding, mission issued."

"Mission: Hunt the S-rank spiritual plant [Cactus], progress (0/1)."

"Reward: 1 Spirit Pill".

……

A cold smile appeared on Chen Yang's lips as he took out the Eclipse Bow and nocked a poisoned arrow.

Draw the bow, aim, and release the string.

All in one go.

"boom!"

The enormous arrow, accompanied by a terrifying whistling sound, tore through the air and shot directly towards the cactus that was rushing wildly into the forest.

"Oh!"

Sensing danger, the cactus released powerful spiritual energy, forming a protective shield behind it. Countless sharp spikes flew out, swiftly meeting the giant arrow head-on.

Everything happens in the blink of an eye.

The giant arrow, imbued with the power of several dragons, was not hindered by the spikes in the slightest, nor did it deviate from its trajectory by even a fraction.

There was a bang.

With overwhelming force, the mental energy shield didn't even last half a second before being shattered by the giant arrow.

One of the cactus's largest leaves was instantly blasted apart by the giant arrow.

"what!"

A violent fluctuation of mental energy, followed by a piercing scream.

The cactus was severely injured, but it didn't dare to look back. It immediately burrowed into the ground, wishing it had more legs, and fled in a frantic escape.

Chen Yang went to the middle of the cactus and pulled the arrow that was embedded in it from a rock.

The arrow was piping hot, and coated with cactus juice.

He looked in the direction the cactus had fled, and according to radar monitoring, it had only run a little over a hundred meters before stopping again.

It seems she's deliberately trying to seduce me.

A wicked glint appeared on Chen Yang's lips.

This wretched creature probably has no idea how terrifying the venom of the lychee worm is.

……

"hiss……"

The cactus was badly injured, but it still remembered its mission. It emerged from beside a dried-up ditch and extended its spiritual energy downwards.

When it saw Chen Yang approaching, it quickly burrowed back into the ground and continued running up the mountain. Having witnessed Chen Yang's prowess, it no longer dared to be reckless.

I rinsed it with a bowl of water.

The cactus changed direction abruptly and ran towards the earthen slope.

Fearing that Chen Yang wouldn't follow, it would occasionally shoot out sharp spikes to harass him from afar.

That's ridiculously childish.

Chen Yang wasn't in a hurry. He walked to the bowl of water, stopped, and looked up at it.

There are two roads. One goes straight up to Jianfeng Temple at the top of the mountain, and the other goes to the left, leading to the deep mountains on the other side of Tulongpo.

Chen Yang used radar to probe the area, covering part of Tulongpo.

There is a large grassy area in Tulongpo. In summer, when it grows rapidly, the grass is more than a person tall. If you crawl into it, you can't see your shadow at all.

Radar detection revealed that there was quite a lot of cargo inside.

"There's actually one Dao True Realm cultivator, seemingly a thatch plant, four Creation Realm cultivators (two thatch plants, one rose, and the cactus from before), the remaining Spirit Realm thatch and rose, and some other kinds of spiritual plants, numbering in the hundreds..."

The voice of the Three Corpse Divine Tree echoed in my mind.

Even the Three Corpse Divine Tree couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

It's not an exaggeration that a family with a history of misdeeds like the Li family could cultivate someone at the Creation Realm, but the fact that they have someone at the Dao True Realm is somewhat beyond imagination.

Chen Yang was also somewhat surprised; encountering someone at the Dao True Realm was not so easy to deal with.

Originally, he only knew that the Li family might have a camphor tree at the Dao True Realm level, which was a survivor of the spiritual plant riots of that year.

Over the course of several decades, the Li family has secretly built up such a grand presence.
Is the Qi Ling San really that powerful?
