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

Chapter 890 Self-destruction upon contact, bound to Golden Clamp Mountain!

"Who?"

When they got within about fifty meters, Huang Long shouted ahead.

The sound caused the mist beneath them to surge.

The man remained seated on the ground, motionless, like a dead man.

Zhou Mingyuan probed with his primordial spirit, then frowned and quickly ran over.

Upon arriving in front of the man, Zhou Mingyuan's expression changed slightly upon seeing him.

Could it be an acquaintance?
Chen Yang and Huang Long then caught up and circled around to the front of the man.

A dark-skinned, robust old monk with a white beard.

The old monk's eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with frost, the bloodstains on his face had turned into ice crystals, and he showed no signs of life.

"Langse?"

Upon seeing the man's appearance, Huang Long raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but gasp softly.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat.

This name sounds so familiar.

The master that group of vultures sought out was named Langse, wasn't he?

The old monk's attire is that of a Tantric monk; could he be the person before us?

"The Venerable Langse of the Vajra Temple of the Secret Sect?" Chen Yang asked.

He had only heard of the name, but had never seen the person in person.

Huang Long nodded slightly and immediately reached out to check Lang Se's breath.

"do not move."

Zhou Mingyuan sternly rebuked him.

Huang Long was startled by his sudden action and stumbled, looking up at Zhou Mingyuan with a puzzled expression.

"If you want to die, then go ahead and touch me."

Zhou Mingyuan glared at him, made a gesture, and led Chen Yang and the others to carefully retreat.

His expression was so serious, as if he were defusing a mine.

Chen Yang was confused, but he still followed Zhou Mingyuan and took a few steps back.

Chen Yang's gaze fell on the monk Langse, and he felt a sense of unease. How could this person be here?

Judging from his appearance, it seems he has already stopped breathing.

died?

Zhou Mingyuan said, "The Vajra Temple has a secret technique for mutual destruction called 'Buddha Annihilates All Heavens.' This technique is used in desperate situations. On the surface, it looks like a turtle breathing and feigning death, but in reality, all the cultivation in the body is concentrated inward. Once the body is touched by a living thing or attacked by an external force, it will immediately self-destruct..."

"Self-destruction?"

Chen Yang and Huang Long both gasped softly.

Almost instinctively, I took a few more steps back.

Zhou Mingyuan had extensive dealings with the Secret Sect. Although Huang Long was knowledgeable, his understanding of the Secret Sect was not as comprehensive as Zhou Mingyuan's.

As for Chen Yang, I know even less about him.

Chen Yang had experienced firsthand how powerful a cultivator's self-destruction could be, especially the self-destruction of a Dao True Realm cultivator, which instantly burned their primordial spirit and all their cultivation, releasing a powerful energy that was terrifyingly destructive.

"That old monk is cunning. Who is he planning to take down with him?"

Huang Long was still shaken. If Zhou Mingyuan hadn't stopped him, the three of them would probably be dead by now.

There was no one else around.

"Yesterday I caught a flock of vultures in Qishan, and they told me some things..."

Chen Yang recounted to the two of them his encounter with the vultures the day before, and the things the vultures had told him.

After listening, the two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lingshan Sect?
They even got involved with the Lingshan Sect.

They all looked towards the cave at the same time, and already had a rough guess in their minds.

Those footprints outside must have been left by the monk Langse and the people he was chasing.

Langse was exhausted and unable to defeat them, so he resorted to these secret techniques.

The person he was chasing is most likely still inside the cave, and judging from the footprints outside, there is clearly more than one person.

When the people inside come out and see Langse blocking the road, they will definitely attack. At that time, there will be a loud bang, burying everything.

It has to be said, this move was really ruthless.

"madman."

Huang Long shook his head. "If I were him, I would just turn around and leave. Why risk my life to save someone else's? Wouldn't it be a huge loss if I didn't succeed?"

He could have easily left this place, but he chose to risk his life.

This kind of thinking is really hard for ordinary people to understand.

Do you think everyone is as selfish as you?

Zhou Mingyuan glared at him, "That's self-sacrifice to vanquish evil, a truly fearless spirit..."

"Ha, exorcising demons? They almost wiped us out too." Huang Long chuckled wryly. "What are we going to do now?"

Langse is such a big guy, just standing here like that, he's like a landmine, ready to explode at the slightest touch.

Chen Yang also looked at Zhou Mingyuan.

Even if they don't touch it, there's no guarantee that other beings won't. If a Dao True Realm expert self-destructs, this cave might not be able to withstand it. Once it collapses, they might not be able to escape.

Too dangerous.

Zhou Mingyuan said, "He's not dead yet, he can still be saved. However, saving him will be risky. Let's see if you dare to do it."

Chen Yang frowned. "Is this person worth saving?"

Zhou Mingyuan said, "The Vajra Temple has long since reformed, and Langse is a representative of the righteous path in the Western Frontier. As you said, he came to exorcise demons, so naturally he is worth saving..."

"If it's worth saving, then let's save it!" Chen Yang said.

Zhou Mingyuan said, "If you accidentally self-destruct, the thing I gave you might not be able to stop it."

Chen Yang paused.

Huang Long said, "You tell me first, how do you do it?"

Zhou Mingyuan said, "The three of us will act simultaneously, sealing his upper, middle, and lower dantian respectively. This way, we can seal the energy within his body, preventing it from being completely untouchable. However, the timing must be just right, not even by the slightest bit. Otherwise, if any one of them is sealed too late, it will inevitably self-destruct..."

"As long as I seal his three dantian, I have a way to awaken him..."

"This……"

Huang Long chuckled dryly, "Maybe we should just forget about it. Three people, three heads, how could we possibly achieve perfect accuracy..."

The old Taoist priest was the first to back down.

The three of them, each with three heads and six arms, would be struck down with a loud bang if anyone was even slightly slow.

The risk is just too great.

Although Chen Yang didn't say it, he actually agreed with Huang Long's statement. Was it worth risking the lives of three people to save one?
If they were close relatives, it would be fine, but Chen Yang and this monk Langse were complete strangers.

In fact, Chen Yang was very familiar with the matter of sealing the dantian. In fact, even if the three of them attacked together, it would not be as effective as if Chen Yang attacked alone.

The Yin-Yang Acupuncture Technique can simultaneously seal the Lingtai, Zifu, and Qihai acupoints.

However, it's not absolute; there's still a failure rate, and Chen Yang doesn't dare to gamble on that probability.

In this place, if it were to explode, no one would be able to escape.

Zhou Mingyuan didn't say much. He had some connection with Lang Se and wanted to save him, but he hesitated about risking his own life.

If even he himself hesitated, he had even less reason to morally blackmail Chen Yang and Huang Long.

However, the current situation is a bit tricky.

This person is stuck here and can't move. If he moves, he'll explode. Just because they don't touch him doesn't mean others won't. As Huang Long said, there are also spirit beasts and corpses in this cave, which are all dangerous factors.

If this cave is blown up, it will inevitably collapse, and then everyone will probably not survive.

Unless, we go out now.

But they came here to explore the cave for treasures, so how could they be willing to leave like this?
"Is there no other way?"

Huang Long arrived with a dark expression, full of enthusiasm, only to encounter this situation, which was truly disheartening.

Zhou Mingyuan shook his head.

If Chen Yang and the others were willing, he would definitely want to take the gamble, but clearly, everyone was afraid.

Huang Long looked at Chen Yang and said, "Chen Yang, don't you have the Gluttonous Gu? Why don't you go and absorb his cultivation?"

If we absorb his cultivation, let's see what he can use to self-destruct then.
"I don't have the ability to absorb energy from a distance!"

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated. This guy was so easily angered; what kind of terrible idea was this?

Huang Long chuckled, seemingly aware that it was unreliable.

"I do have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."

Chen Yang's eyes suddenly flickered. Huang Long's idea, though terrible, had given him a wake-up call.

"Oh?"

The two looked at him. "What method?"

Chen Yang flipped his right hand, revealing a pill in his palm. "Let's see if the Five Poison Soul-Destroying Miasma can dissipate his cultivation..."

The two looked at the pill in Chen Yang's hand.

It was the [Five Poisons Soul-Destroying Miasma] that Chen Yang himself had refined.

Huang Long's eyes lit up. "Give it a try, it might work."

The effect of the Five Poisons Soul-Destroying Miasma is that, upon inhalation, it can rapidly dissipate the cultivator's cultivation, essentially dissipating their power. However, this dissipation is only temporary; after the effects of the medicine wear off over time, the cultivation will recover, and the cultivator's realm will not be affected.

Chen Yang hadn't tried this medicine on Dao Zhen Realm experts, but it was extremely effective on Creation Realm experts.

Qiao Hongjun had fallen victim to this trick before.

Even a Dao Realm expert, who is not yet in a state of perfect health, should logically be unable to withstand the effects of the Five Poison Soul-Destroying Miasma.

Zhou Mingyuan nodded slightly.

Although he didn't know where Chen Yang got this secret medicine from, based on his understanding of it, it wouldn't have much effect on a Dao True Realm expert. If he were to inhale the medicine, he could completely control its effects to the minimum by manipulating his blood and qi.

If one is afflicted by the Five Poisons Soul-Destroying Miasma, the loss of one's inner power is inevitable; however, the extent to which it is lost depends entirely on one's own skill.

Although Langse is a Dao True Realm expert, he is currently in a state of suspended animation and cannot resist the effects of the medicine. Therefore, dispersing his power is feasible.

The three of them stepped back a little further. Chen Yang flicked his finger, sending the Five Poison Soul-Destroying Miasma pill flying to a spot not far in front of Lang Se.

"laugh……"

Upon impact, the pill immediately released a large amount of white smoke.

The white smoke, mixed with the swirling mist, quickly engulfed the monk Langse.

White smoke billowed out, and Chen Yang and the other two held their breath.

However, even if you accidentally inhale it, don't worry, Chen Yang has the antidote for the Five Poison Soul-Destroying Miasma.

The white smoke dissipated in a short while.

In just a moment, the effects of the drug took hold, and all three could clearly feel that Lang Se's aura was dissipating.

Dissipate your power!

His true essence and spiritual power were leaking out uncontrollably, causing the mist around Langse to churn.

Zhou Mingyuan was communicating with Langse through his primordial spirit, but he didn't know if Langse, in her tortoise-like state, had responded to him.

Perhaps he was conscious, because in his current state, Langse offered absolutely no resistance.

The medicine took full effect, and within just a few minutes, Lang Se's vital energy was greatly weakened, like a high-pressure boiler that had been deflated, and he became completely exhausted.

With the energy accumulated in the three dantians released, the danger of explosion naturally disappears.

Zhou Mingyuan seized the opportunity to approach, and with a flick of his finger, sealed Lang Se's spiritual platform.

The Purple Mansion and Qi Sea are relatively safe, as their essence and true energy have been completely depleted, so there is no danger of explosion. However, the primordial spirit is still hidden in the Spirit Platform.

The Five Poisons Soul-Destroying Miasma can dissipate true essence and spiritual power, but it cannot dissipate the primordial spirit.

The secret technique of Langse can burn even the primordial spirit.

At this point, sealing the spirit platform, awakening its consciousness, and letting it dissipate its power on its own can completely eliminate the hidden danger.

The temperature inside the cave was extremely low, probably already minus forty degrees Celsius. Lang Se was dressed very thinly, and even though he was physically strong, after dissipating his internal energy, without the protection of his true qi, the cold air entered his body and quickly froze his skin blue and purple.

Zhou Mingyuan quickly took off his down jacket and draped it over Langse, then pressed on Langse's Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.

"Cough cough..."

It was as if a power button had been pressed; Langse, who had been as still as a corpse, suddenly came to life.

He coughed heavily a few times.

Zhou Mingyuan reached out and patted him on the back.

He spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

With a soft gasp, Lang Se slowly opened his eyes, his aged gaze meeting Zhou Mingyuan's.

"Brother Mingyuan..."

"Let go of your energy first..."

Zhou Mingyuan quickly gave an order.

Langse was aware of his current situation, so he quickly closed his eyes, withdrew his supernatural powers, and after a few breaths, completely cleared the pre-launch state of the "Buddha Annihilates All Heavens" secret technique.

However, due to the loss of his power, Lang Se looked particularly weak, and he would have almost been unable to stand if Zhou Mingyuan hadn't been supporting him.

"call……"

Lang Se let out a long breath of stale air, and Zhou Mingyuan released the seal on his spiritual platform.

Chen Yang took out the antidote for the Five Poison Soul-Destroying Miasma and gave it to him. Zhou Mingyuan then transferred a breath of true energy to him, and Lang Se's bluish-purple face finally regained its color.

Zhou Mingyuan fed him another pill of some unknown kind, and Langse slowly regained some strength.

"What happened? How did it get like this?" Zhou Mingyuan asked.

Upon hearing this, Langse's spirits lifted instantly. "Zongba and the others, did they escape?"

He struggled to get up, but Zhou Mingyuan held him down. "Don't rush, tell me the situation first. Zongba, who else?"

Upon hearing this, Langse calmed down slightly.

Time was of the essence, so Langse kept it brief.

On his way to Dalun Temple in Daxue Mountain, he was ambushed by Zongba and Gesang from the Lingshan Sect. After a fierce battle, he killed Gesang despite being seriously injured, and then chased Zongba all the way into Shu.

They ran and chased each other for a month, their footprints covering almost the entire Shu region. During this time, they fought several major battles, with Zongba constantly on the run.

Yesterday, they chased them to Jinjia Mountain and arrived here. Zongba thought he could corner Zongba, but he didn't expect there to be two other people here.

Solang of the Lingshan Sect and Asaga of the Shenhuo Sect.

Now, Langse has become the weaker party. In a great battle, even though Langse is a powerful expert in the late stage of Dao Zhen Realm with profound cultivation, he was seriously injured and could not fight against six people. If the three people had not been afraid of destroying the cave and had some reservations, Chen Yang and the others would probably be seeing his corpse now.

The three were hesitant to act rashly, fearing that the cave might collapse. After fighting Langse for a long time, seeing that they couldn't defeat him in the short term, they all went deeper into the cave.

Langse originally wanted to collapse the cave and bury the three people there forever, but he was afraid that there were other exits to the cave, and that he would die in vain.

So he used the secret technique of "Buddha Destroys All Heavens".

In fact, this secret technique will automatically deactivate if it is not triggered within seven days after it is cast.

"Asaga? Who is that?"

Zhou Mingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He knew about Zongba and Suolang, but he had never heard of such a person in the Divine Fire Sect.

"Amitabha."

Langse chanted a Buddhist prayer and said, "Brother Mingyuan, you haven't been to the Western Frontier for a long time, so you may not know that the Divine Fire Sect has recruited some powerful figures from beyond the region in recent years. Asaga is one of them. He comes from Persia, is in the mid-stage of the Dao True Realm, and is skilled in fire control techniques. He is quite compatible with the Divine Fire Sect, and his strength should not be underestimated..."

"Ah."

Zhou Mingyuan looked solemn. It had indeed been a long time since he had been to the Western Frontier, and his understanding of the three major secret sects was still based on what he had seen decades ago.

He didn't say anything more and moved Langse to a side cave not far away.

"You rest here for now, leave the rest to us."

Given Langse's current situation, it's unrealistic to expect him to come down the mountain on his own.

……

-

Leaving Langse behind, the three continued to explore deeper into the cave.

"Zongba's strength is also at the mid-stage of the Dao Zhen realm, and Solang should be at the early stage of the Dao Zhen realm. Add a Persian expert on top of that, damn it, this is making things more difficult for us right from the start."

Huanglong Daoist's face was gloomy. He hoped that the three people had already left, otherwise it would indeed be quite difficult.

While we're not exactly afraid, the enemy's lineup is not to be underestimated. Moreover, there are still many unknown dangers lurking in this cave.

"They come, the security."

Zhou Mingyuan simply said one sentence.

Chen Yang walked behind without saying a word, and he brought up the system panel.

At this moment, he was considering whether or not to bind Jinjiashan to him.

He still hasn't used the opportunity to bind a new mountain after the last upgrade.

Currently, Jinjiashan has considerable binding value.

According to Huang Long, there is at least one corpse ape and a powerful shrimp in this cave, both of which are probably at the Dao True Realm.

This is only what Huanglong has discovered; there might be other things as well.

These things are all experiences and rewards.

If you don't bind Jinjia Mountain, killing any number of monsters will be a waste of time.

Let's tie him up, so we don't panic if something unexpected happens.

……

Number of mountains that can be bound: 1. [View Details]

……

[Ding, searching the map...]

[Search complete. The host may choose one of the following mountain ranges to bind to.]

【1. Jinjia Mountain】;
2. Longtai Mountain;
【3. Wuguniang Mountain】

……

"what?"

Looking at the options retrieved by the system, Chen Yang was slightly taken aback, not expecting Longtai Mountain to be among them.

So, Longtai Mountain, where the Yang family lives, isn't far from here?

He hadn't looked at a map and wasn't really familiar with the area.

Once things are settled and I have some time, I could visit Longtai Mountain.

With just a fleeting thought in his mind, Chen Yang's attention returned to the three options.

Without hesitation, I chose [Jinjia Mountain].
