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

Chapter 830 Entering Wuliang Mountain, a great battle is about to begin!

Furthermore, the treasure from Mixiangou still has that Dragon Essence in his hands; needless to say, the energy within it is immense.

He has no shortage of energy; it's more than enough to create a demigod-like body.

Sensing Chen Yang's call, the Taotie Gu continuously released its stored energy, which was constantly absorbed and transformed by the bone marrow. The third transformation of the physical body had begun.

It's unclear how long this phase will take.

However, it didn't matter to Chen Yang anymore. His bone marrow was already pure, and in the time to come, even if he did nothing, he would naturally cultivate the body of a half-immortal.

Of course, the Marrow Cleansing Scripture must continue to be practiced, as it will undoubtedly play a significant role in accelerating the transformation of the body into a half-immortal.

I pulled up the system panel and took a look.

The transformation has just begun, and none of the values ​​have changed much yet.

Chen Yang didn't seem to care much. He got up, stretched, and a faint odor emanated from his body.

After a night of cultivation, which cleansed the bones and marrow, it seems that a lot of impurities have been washed away.

I quickly took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

Feeling refreshed and in a great mood, Chen Yang took out his phone and saw that it was almost noon.

Sun Tianhao had been waiting for a long time.

In the hotel restaurant.

After a night, Ke Shaohua felt much better, but he still complained from time to time.

My mouth tasted only bitter; I couldn't taste anything else. Looking at the food on the table, I had no appetite at all.

"Man is made of iron, food is made of steel. How can you slay demons and monsters if you don't eat your fill?" Chen Yang said with a bit of a laugh.

Ke Shaohua smiled bitterly, "The world is truly treacherous. If I ever run into that woman again, I won't be able to quell my hatred until I tear her to pieces..."

He spoke angrily, his voice filled with resentment, a hatred etched deep in his heart.

"Do you even know what she is? She's just making empty boasts here," Chen Yang said.

Ke Shaohua said, "If you hadn't suddenly appeared and scared her away, I might have already won her over last night."

"Come on, if it weren't for me last night, you'd probably be in the deepest hell right now, boiling in oil."

"I……"

Ke Shaohua choked up, as if he had lost some of his confidence, "That's not necessarily true, I haven't even had a chance to unleash my ultimate move yet..."

Chen Yang chuckled. "As the ancients said, 'A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit.' You seem to have no memory at all. When you encounter an opponent like this, you save your ultimate move for later, waiting to go down and spar with Ox-Head and Horse-Face?"

Ke Shaohua's face twitched. "Besides my master, no one has ever dared to lecture me like this."

"So what, you want to try your ultimate move on me?"

“You’re not an evil cultivator, I won’t fight you.”

"By the way, the ultimate move you mentioned, it's not that badge around your neck, is it?"

Chen Yang's gaze fell on Ke Shaohua's neck.

There was a red rope hanging there. Chen Yang had seen it last night when he was shirtless, but he was crying out in pain at the time, so he didn't ask.

Upon hearing this, Ke Shaohua instinctively reached out to block it.

"It's nothing special, is it really that big of a deal?"

Seeing his proud and protective demeanor, Chen Yang chuckled. "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Daoist Divine Thunder Token. I wonder which of the Five Elements Divine Thunder Tokens it is?"

Ke Shaohua clearly hadn't expected Chen Yang to recognize the wooden token on his person. He paused slightly before saying, "The Bing Fire Divine Thunder Token. My master gave it to me when I came down the mountain..."

Is it Bing Fire?
The Five Elements Divine Thunder Token originated from the Taiyi Sect of Taoism a thousand years ago. It was later destroyed by the Northern Emperor Sect, and its disciples scattered, leaving behind many inheritances. Among them, the most famous are the Zixia Temple, the Shenxiao Sect, and the Songhe Temple...

When the Taiyi Sect was destroyed, some belongings were left behind, including the Five Elements Divine Thunder Tokens. There were five of these tokens in total. When the sect was divided, the founder of Luofu Mountain received one, the "Kui Water Divine Thunder Token," but it has since been destroyed. The founder of the Shenxiao Sect also received one, the "Geng Metal Divine Thunder Token," which is said to have also been destroyed...

The Yi Wood Divine Thunder Token in Chen Yang's possession came from the Zixia Temple. The other two tokens, the Bing Fire Divine Thunder Token and the Wu Earth Divine Thunder Token, are missing. Now it seems that they were probably stolen by the Northern Emperor's faction back then.

Although the Northern Emperor's faction is domineering, Ke Shaohua is really guileless. With just a casual remark from Chen Yang, he blurted out everything he needed to say.

"However, I have more than just this as a trump card..."

"Oh? What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

"Our Northern Emperor Sect's unique secret technique, the Heavenly Heart Divine Thunder Spell, can invoke heavenly punishment by accumulating power with the Divine Thunder Token, but the casting process is rather lengthy..."

As he said this, Ke Shaohua had a smug look on his face, as if he wanted to prove to Chen Yang that he was really not weak.

Will it trigger divine punishment?
Chen Yang raised an eyebrow.

As someone who had once suffered divine punishment, he was naturally aware of its power. This kind of heavenly lightning was more destructive and thorough than ordinary heavenly tribulations.

This Heavenly Heart Divine Thunder Spell, which can actually trigger heavenly punishment as a means of attack, is truly unbelievable.

More than three hundred years ago, the Shenxiao Sect, Zixia Temple, and Songhe Temple gathered at Mount Luofu to verify the Thunder Techniques. They complemented each other's Thunder Techniques legacy left by the Taiyi Sect, which became the "Five Thunder Escape Techniques" that Chen Yang learned.

Although the Five Thunder Escape Techniques include a method for summoning thunder, it is a completely different concept from invoking heavenly punishment.

It's no wonder that the Northern Emperor's faction claims to act as the emperor's representative in punishing evil; their thunder magic is indeed domineering, and based on this alone, they certainly have the capital to be domineering.

"What are your plans next?" Chen Yang asked.

Upon hearing this, Ke Shaohua didn't rush to answer, but instead asked Chen Yang, "What are your plans?"

"Me?"

Chen Yang said, "I'll go to the Five Elements Sect first. Tomorrow is the Gu God Sect's Immortal Slaying Assembly, which is the eye of the storm, so I probably won't be there..."

"If you don't go to the scene, how can you eliminate evil and uphold justice?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Shaohua shook his head vigorously, "I'm definitely going to the scene. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Since it's a den of demons, it's exactly where I should go..."

Seeing his fearless expression, Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated. "A wise man doesn't stand under a crumbling wall. Knowing the danger, you still insist on going for it. Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Ke Shaohua said, "Mencius said, 'A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall,' but there is another saying: 'He who dies after fulfilling his duty is fulfilling his duty.'"

"I came to Raojiang to fulfill my duty and follow the will of Heaven. Even if I die, it will be a martyrdom, a worthy death..."

"Moreover, our Northern Emperor lineage follows the path of killing. It is our duty to vanquish demons and evil spirits. Only by killing, killing, killing can I break through my illusions. My cultivation has been stuck at the mid-stage of the Creation Realm for nearly two years. I have finally come here. How can I be satisfied if I don't kill them to my heart's content?"

……

Ke Shaohua's words left Chen Yang speechless.

I was originally thinking of persuading him not to go and die, but seeing him like this, there was no point in trying to persuade him, and it was impossible to persuade him anyway.

All I can do is wish him good luck.

After lunch, we drove to the outskirts of Wuliang Mountain.

The Wuliang Mountains are part of the Yunling Mountains, located on the banks of the Canglan River, facing the Shuailao Mountains to the east and west respectively.

The mountains are high and the forests are dense, shrouded in clouds and mist, with peaks and ridges stretching as far as the eye can see. The vast mountains, just like their name, are full of infinite mystery.

"Have you thought it through? You really don't want to come with me?"

The car was parked on the side of the road, and Chen Yang asked Ke Shaohua one last time.

Ke Shaohua shook his head, saying nothing, but his face showed great determination.

Unable to understand this person's thought process, Chen Yang didn't meddle any further, and the two parted ways.

With the peach wood Seven-Star Sword on his back, Ke Shaohua resolutely walked into the mountains and forests.

Chen Yang watched his figure disappear into the dense forest before finally looking away.

"Will he survive?" Chen Yang asked.

Sun Tianhao thought Chen Yang was asking him, so he immediately said, "Maybe. This guy is a bit reckless, but he's still pretty lucky."

Chen Yang shook his head without saying anything, got into the car, and the two headed towards another mountain pass on the east side of Wuliang Mountain.

……

In the car.

Chen Yang said to Wu Lei Zhenren, "Are all the members of the Northern Emperor Sect like this? If they are all like this, it is truly a miracle that this sect has been able to survive to this day."

"I've never had any contact with the Northern Emperor's faction, how could I possibly know?"

"Wasn't the Taiyi Sect destroyed by the Northern Emperor's faction? Your Songhe Temple is also a branch of the Taiyi Sect."

"So what? That happened so many years ago. Do you expect us, the various factions, to avenge the Taiyi Sect? To join forces and wipe out the Northern Emperor Sect again?"

Master Wu Lei sighed.

Over the course of a thousand years, although the Taiyi Sect has left behind many branches, its disciples have changed generation after generation, each with their own lineage. Who can still remember the Taiyi Sect, and who can still remember the hatred of the sect's destruction back then?

"So many years have passed, I wonder how Songhe Temple is doing now..." Wu Lei Zhenren's voice was somewhat melancholy, as if he was missing home.

Chen Yang said, "During this crackdown on the Gu God Sect, there might be people from Songhe Temple as well. If there's a chance, I'll ask them for you."

"Ah."

Master Wu Lei said nothing more.

……

Led by Sun Tianhao, the car arrived at a village called Yugongzhai on the banks of the Canglan River. The village was not large, with about a hundred households, and was located on the outer edge of the eastern foothills of the Wuliang Mountains.

Behind the village, there is a small path leading into the mountains.

We are now on the eastern edge of the Wuliang Mountains. Further east, a huge shadow can be seen on the horizon.

That is the legendary Shuailao Mountain.

Raojiang has few other things to offer but mountains; as far as the eye can see, there are mountains everywhere.

Led by Sun Tianhao, the two entered the mountains from Yugong Village around 3 p.m., traversing mountains and ridges all the way until dusk, when they crossed a small river and arrived at the foot of a peak.

The mountain is called Knife Rack Peak. Its summit has a distinct depression, resembling a natural knife rack, guarding the gateway to the eastern foothills of the Wuliang Mountains.

The river flows from the foot of the mountain, exits the mountains, and merges into the Canglan River. A little further east, it leaves the Wuliang Mountains and connects with the Shuailao Mountains.

In the cultivation world of Raojiang, the Five Elements Sect's Five Organs Temple, which is quite famous, is located on this Knife Stand Peak.

It was the height of summer, and the forest was teeming with snakes, insects, rodents, and ants. The mountains were high and the forests dense, making it hot and humid. In some places, miasma lingered all day long, and the conditions in the mountains were quite harsh.

Before sunset, the two climbed up Knife Ridge Mountain and arrived at the Five Stomachs Temple.

In the middle of Knife-Shell Mountain is a valley with a large expanse of fertile flat land. The Five Elements Sect's residence is located in this valley, with wooden stilted buildings built against the mountain, exhibiting some of the ancient architectural styles of the Raojiang region.

The camp was surrounded by large fields, where all sorts of medicinal herbs were grown, clearly indicating that someone had taken great care of them.

At this time, smoke was already rising from the valley, and the aroma of rice could be smelled from afar.

According to Sun Tianhao, the Five Elements Sect has only a handful of disciples, a mere twenty or so. Apart from a few direct disciples, the rest are just drudges.

Among the direct disciples, Sun Tianhao has the highest cultivation level. In their sect, whoever has the highest cultivation level has absolute authority.

With Elder Qingquan dead, he naturally became the leader, and no one in the entire Five Elements Sect could rival him.

The only one who could compete with him based on her background and talent was Wang Sidi, but unfortunately, Wang Sidi also died.

The two passed through the herb garden and arrived at their camp.

Sun Tianhao sensed that something was off. He didn't see any familiar faces, but instead saw several middle-aged men dressed as Taoist priests walking towards them.

"who?"

The older Taoist priest in the lead shouted at the two from a distance.

Sun Tianhao frowned slightly; he almost doubted whether he had come to the wrong place.

"I am Sun Tianhao, the eldest disciple of Elder Qingquan of the Five Elements Sect. And who are you?"

You came to my house, and before I even asked who you were, you started asking me questions?

The moment he announced his number, the way the other person looked at them changed.

"There are still two who escaped. Arrest them."

The leading Taoist priest gave an order, and several middle-aged Taoist priests behind him immediately surrounded him.

There was absolutely no reason; they simply had to be captured.

They're only at the Spirit Realm level, yet they're so incredibly powerful.

Sun Tianhao subconsciously stepped back to Chen Yang's side.

"stop."

Just then, a shout came from behind.

Immediately afterwards, an old man came out of a wooden building not far away.

Chen Yang looked up, paused for a moment, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Old Qiao? What are you doing here?"

The person who came was none other than Qiao Hongjun, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

Qiao Hongjun walked towards them, waved his hand, and dismissed the middle-aged Taoist priests.

Qiao Hongjun's gaze fell on Chen Yang, and he said, "Of course I'm here on official business. But what are you doing here?"

Chen Yang grinned, making no attempt to hide his feelings, "I heard something big is going to happen in Raojiang, so I've come to join in the fun."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Hongjun shook his head helplessly, "You..."

They're like newborn calves, fearless and willing to join in any kind of excitement. This is no child's play; it could very well result in death.

However, he knew very well what Chen Yang's purpose was in coming to Raojiang.

Therefore, some questions are simply unnecessary to ask.

It's good that he's here. After all, this kid is quite strong, and he can be a helper if necessary.

He led Chen Yang toward the wooden building ahead.

As they walked, he explained the current situation to Chen Yang.

Wuliang Mountain has been closed to the public for a week. Zixia Temple is responsible for guarding the exit near Daojia Peak on the eastern slope, allowing entry but not exit.

Other sects were stationed at other exits of the mountain, and the entire Wuliang Mountain Range is now completely surrounded.

Upon entering the building, Chen Yang met Xiao Jianfeng.

In addition, there are five other True Persons of the Creation Realm from Zixia Temple.

Zixia Temple has put in a lot of effort this time, after all, it was led by the government and even the abbot, Xiao Jianfeng, personally took charge.

Chen Yang met them all and greeted them.

The five True Immortals had never met Chen Yang, but they had heard of his reputation. After all, recently, a young disciple of the Creation Realm had emerged from Emei, and he had even beaten up Qiangba, a genius disciple of the Western Frontier Divine Fire Sect. This matter had already spread throughout the circle.

All eyes were on Chen Yang, some curious, some admiring, and some skeptical.

When Chen Yang arrived, they seemed to be discussing something. Xiao Jianfeng didn't say much, but directly pulled Chen Yang into the group and assigned tasks.

Their mission at Zixia Temple was to guard the area near Daojia Mountain, preventing the Gu God Cult members from escaping, and waiting for orders from their superiors to join forces with other sects in a final siege of the Gu God Cult.

The sole objective this time is to completely eradicate the Gu God Cult's headquarters, preventing any possibility of its resurgence.

There was a map on the table.

Xiao Jianfeng pointed to the map and said, "This area near Daojia Mountain has four mountains, three valleys, and one river, with a total of eight paths leading out of the mountains. Chen Yang's arrival is just in time. The eight of us will each guard one place. Now, let me assign the tasks..."

Chen Yang had just arrived when he was conscripted and assigned a task without even knowing why.

There was nothing to discuss, and regardless of whether Chen Yang liked it or not, by the time Chen Yang realized what was happening, Xiao Jianfeng had already made the arrangements.

Chen Yang was responsible for guarding a mountain peak called Dog Head Mountain on the north side of Knife Gear Mountain.

Emerging from the deep mountains, there is a road leading straight into Dog Head Mountain. Go around halfway up the mountain and descend the cliff behind it to exit the mountain.

This road is dangerous and remote; no one would choose to take it. Xiao Jianfeng was kind enough to choose the one with the lowest risk for him.

As for Xiao Jianfeng himself, he chose to guard the river below Daojia Mountain, as it was the most likely and convenient way for these remnants of the Gu God Sect to leave.

"Alright, after dinner, everyone can go back to their seats."

After making the arrangements, Xiao Jianfeng slammed his hand on the table and said very seriously, "I just received news that they won't wait until tomorrow; they'll likely take action tonight. So, everyone, guard the intersections. Anyone who tries to force their way through will be killed on sight. If you can't handle the situation, send a message immediately..."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, and then the meeting adjourned as they went to eat.

Only Chen Yang remained sitting there, stunned.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Xiao Jianfeng looked at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang came to his senses, feeling both amused and exasperated.

What kind of situation is this? I just arrived and haven't even had a sip of water yet, and I'm already being forced into this?
and……

"Master Xiao, you're saying you'll make your move tonight? Not even waiting for the Immortal Slaying Assembly?" Chen Yang asked hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jianfeng smiled slightly, "Preparations are in place in all aspects. We should strike while the iron is hot. Why wait until tomorrow?"
