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

Chapter 981 Using the Tiger's Might to Intimidate the Enemy!
However, it does consume a lot of true energy.

Especially the higher the simulated realm, the greater the consumption after reaching the Dao True Realm.

Chen Yang thought for a moment and concluded that the strongest aura he had ever seen was that of the ferocious beast in Bei'e Mountain.

The ferocious beast had used its aura on him before, so Chen Yang was quite familiar with its aura and power.

Visualize it immediately.

True essence flowed into the jade bracelet as if it were free.

The jade bracelet felt warm and cozy, and a strange energy returned to Chen Yang. Immediately afterward, a terrifying aura emanated from Chen Yang.

Mo Yuan, standing to the side, was also somewhat startled. An instinctive sense of crisis made its fur stand on end.

After a short while, the energy expenditure became too great, so Chen Yang quickly stopped.

"interesting."

Chen Yang took off the jade bracelet. "It's not bad for fooling people."

The bracelet only simulates the aura and imposing presence of a realm; it doesn't grant you the corresponding cultivation level. At most, it makes you look more imposing or weak.

They are either all bark and no bite, a wolf in sheep's clothing, or they are like still waters running deep, pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

However, you also need to be able to intimidate people.

Take Chen Yang for example. Even without the bracelet, if he simply revealed his late-stage Creation Realm aura, few of the old guys he usually encountered would believe it.

The reason is that he is too young, with no beard, and too inexperienced. A late-stage Creation Realm cultivator in his early twenties is a rare breed.

Some super sects can be created; if you have extraordinary talent and the backing of a major sect, others can barely accept it.

But if you were to simulate the aura of someone at the Dao True Realm, or even the late stage of the Dao True Realm, how many people would still believe it?
This completely defies common sense; it's absolutely a scam.

If you happen to run into a few stubborn guys who aren't intimidated and start fighting you, then you'll just be a paper tiger that breaks easily.

The key issue is that this thing consumes too much true energy.

The bracelet has a built-in function of concealing one's aura. When you wear it, others cannot see your cultivation level. This does not consume true essence. However, this function of simulating the aura and imposing presence of a cultivation level is definitely a paid feature.

It's definitely an interesting little thing.

But Chen Yang only found it fun; for him, it was still somewhat of a waste of time.

He casually handed the bracelet to Mo Yuan, saying, "Take it for now. Since it belongs to the Qing Shen Sect, we can see if we should return it to its rightful owner after we leave."

Giving the bracelet to Mo Yuan might be more useful than giving it to himself.

After all, this rat was once powerful, and given its status, simulating its peak strength might be more convincing.

This rat used to be Zhao Quanzhen's spirit pet, so it must have seen many powerful beings in the Celestial Realm. It might even be able to mimic the aura of a Celestial Realm expert.

However, there are no Celestial Realm beings in the world now, so even if it simulates the aura of a Celestial Realm being, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Mo Yuan didn't stand on ceremony with Chen Yang and directly put the jade bracelet on his wrist.

Chen Yang's gaze fell on the skeleton in front of him again.

He was very curious about how Feng Qingzi had died.

Chen Yang used the scabbard of his Qingfeng sword to gently brush the clothes off the corpse.

Over the years, the clothes had rotted and would fall apart at the slightest touch.

The skeleton hidden beneath the clothing was revealed.

The flesh was dried up, with only a layer of skin covering the bones.

There were still traces of pure energy remaining in the bones, indicating that this person must have broken through to the Dao True Realm before his death.

There are multiple fractures in the sternum, and the skin has lacerations, probably caused by knives or swords. There is a circular hole in the left chest that runs from the front of the chest to the back, through the other side.

The skull was also broken, with a clear palm print.

This should have been a fatal wound. He was stabbed through the chest, his heart meridian was damaged, his physical body perished, and then his spirit was shattered by a palm strike.

Perhaps he didn't die on the spot and escaped here, but with injuries like these, there's no way to save him.

It is certain that he was killed by a human, and not by a mountain spirit beast.

As for who killed him, there was no other useful information at the scene, so Chen Yang had no way of knowing.

Apart from a Qingfeng sword and a jade bracelet, which could prove the identity of the remains, nothing else was left.

Chen Yang directly stored the remains in the system's warehouse.

Yu Huaizhen of the Qingshen Sect had taught him martial arts, so Chen Yang couldn't ignore the fact that they had met.

The remains should be taken out and handed over to the Qing Shen Sect for disposal.

The cave was empty. Chen Yang scanned it with radar but found nothing else.

They immediately left the cave with Mo Yuan.

By this time, the sky had fully brightened, and the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests were awakening. The roars of the beasts accompanied the chirping of the birds, like an alarm clock in the early morning.

……

More than ten miles away.

A sword light stopped at the top of a mountain.

An old Taoist priest in gray robes was followed by a large yellow-throated marten.

The old Taoist priest flicked his whisk and gazed southwest.

His aged eyes were extremely sharp, as if they could pierce through the void.

"Master!"

The yellow-throated marten stood upright beside the old Taoist priest, also gazing in the same direction.

Just now, the old Taoist priest was flying with him on his sword when they suddenly sensed a powerful aura, which startled both of them.

They quickly followed the scent and came over.

But the aura came and went quickly, disappearing in an instant, leaving the man and the weasel with only a general idea of ​​its location.

The old Taoist priest didn't speak, but his expression was quite solemn.

The fleeting, powerful aura he had just witnessed gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

It seems to have the aura of that ferocious beast in Bei'e Mountain.

It doesn’t make sense!

It's not time for the ban to be lifted yet, so there's no reason for that ferocious beast to come out of the mountains.

The old man's brows furrowed slightly.

He closed his eyes, and his powerful mental energy spread outwards like a tide.

"Could it be that person?" the yellow-throated marten asked.

The next second, the old Taoist suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes gleamed with an undisguised sharpness!
……

-

Meanwhile, ten miles away in a valley, Chen Yang and Mo Yuan were crossing a stream.

The man and the mouse stopped almost simultaneously.

A chill ran down my spine; I had the feeling of being watched by a ferocious beast.

Chen Yang keenly sensed a powerful spiritual force sweeping over him.

He turned and glanced at Mo Yuan.

Clearly, Mo Yuan sensed it too.

Chen Yang was very familiar with this spiritual energy.

That night, when he killed the giant wolf, he had a mental connection with Danyangzi through the Mountain Demon Seal.

It is the spiritual energy of Danyangzi.

Sure enough he came.

In just a moment, Chen Yang got goosebumps all over his body.

It's just a few Bodhi seeds, why are you chasing me so relentlessly?

alert!

Chen Yang immediately went on high alert and led Mo Yuan to an open area not far away.

In just a few breaths, he sensed that the swarm of bone-eating beetles he had sent out to scout ahead, about five or six miles away, had been largely cleared out.

So fast?
The Crimson Sky Sword had already appeared in his hand.

In a short while, a sword light, carrying two figures, suddenly broke into his radar detection range.

A few breaths later, the sword light fell, and a man and a sable stood on a low cliff about fifty or sixty meters in front of Chen Yang.

Chen Yang's pupils contracted slightly.

It was indeed Danyangzi.

"I never expected it to be Fellow Daoist Rat! It's been so many years, but you're still as charming as ever!"

Danyangzi's voice carried on the wind from a great distance.

He flicked his whisk lightly, his long beard fluttering, his Taoist robe dancing in the wind, giving him an air of otherworldly elegance.

However, he first greeted Mo Yuan. Back then, Mo Yuan was a big name in Emei, and even Danyangzi was not qualified to participate in the siege against him.

When he first saw the yellow-throated marten manifest as a rat, he instinctively thought of Mo Yuan. He just found it hard to believe that Mo Yuan, who was at the Dao True Realm, could enter the cave heaven.

But now that he had actually seen Mo Yuan, he had no choice but to believe it.

As the former abbot of Chunyang Temple, although Mo Yuan may not have met him or even remember him, he certainly remembers this person who almost caused chaos in Emei.

Although he did not participate in the encirclement and suppression back then, he still had some understanding of Mo Yuan's combat strength.

To be able to survive a joint attack by top experts from both the Buddhist and Taoist sects of Emei is an incredible feat that even a child could imagine.

Moreover, more than a hundred years later, this beast is still alive, and its strength is probably even greater.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan looked up at the cliff top, remaining calm. "I remember you, from Chunyang Temple..."

I must say, she's quite good at putting on airs.

In its presence, Danyangzi was indeed a junior, and it certainly had the right to put on airs.

However, the current Mo Yuan is no longer the Mo Yuan at his peak. His cultivation is only at the mid-stage of the Creation Realm. Dan Yangzi could kill him with just a thought.

"Chunyang Temple, Danyangzi."

Danyangzi calmly announced his name. Although he had to admit that Fellow Daoist Rat had a great reputation and strong strength, things were different now, and Danyangzi was no less capable.

Despite his fear, he didn't think he would lose if a fight actually broke out.

"Yes, Danyangzi, you are the abbot of Chunyang Temple, right? What are you doing here?" Mo Yuan acted as if he had just realized something, and he really did put on a convincing act.

"It's a long story."

Danyangzi remained aloof and showed no intention of explaining, instead turning his gaze to Chen Yang.

"Young friend, are you named Du Wencai?"

From a distance, two pairs of eyes pierced Chen Yang like knives, as if trying to penetrate his body.

Clearly, it wasn't just because of the Ten-Leaf Water Bodhi; Danyangzi had already connected the person who had fooled him that night with Chen Yang.

They were even certain that he was the one.

At this point, arguing is pointless.

Leaving aside the aura of spiritual power, the bone-eating beetle that was just sent out to scout ahead was enough to make Danyangzi suspect his identity.

"It's the junior."

Chen Yang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and readily admitted, "Yes, it was me that night."

Danyangzi didn't expect Chen Yang to admit it so readily.

They had prepared a lot of evidence, but they were held back by it.

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. What skill and audacity! My wolf brother must have fallen victim to Fellow Daoist Rat's wickedness, right?"

Danyangzi snorted coldly, his killing intent radiating outwards without any attempt to conceal it.

In his eyes, Chen Yang clearly did not have the strength to kill the Wolf King. That night, it was Chen Yang who held him back, and then Mo Yuan killed the Wolf King.

That makes sense.

"Danyangzi, don't make false accusations."

Mo Yuan objected, saying, "I, Mo Yuan, act with integrity and uprightness. If I killed someone, I killed them; but if I didn't kill them, don't try to pin it on me."

"Oh? Not you?"

Danyangzi raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Mo Yuan actually refused to admit it.

Based on his understanding of this fellow Daoist Rat, he was unlikely to deny the things he had done.

But if it wasn't Mo Yuan, who else could it be but this young man beside him?

Regardless of the young man's strength, he was still communicating with the Wolf King spiritually when the Wolf King was in trouble that night.

Chatting and fighting at the same time?
How can this be?

Mo Yuan nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Danyangzi looked suspicious, but quickly relaxed. "Regardless of whether it was you that night, you must have killed the white crocodile in the White Dragon River, right? And the Ten-Leaf Water Bodhi, is it in your hands?"

The Wolf King is dead, and that's that. What's more important than the Ten-Leaf Water Bodhi?

"What do you intend to do?" Mo Yuan asked.

Since Danyangzi was able to find them, it meant he was already certain that it was them. Denying it at this point would be completely pointless.

Although Mo Yuan did not admit it, it was tantamount to tacitly agreeing.

Danyangzi chuckled and said loudly, "Since that's the case, I won't ask for more. Take out a ten-leaf water bodhi seed. For Fellow Daoist Rat's sake, let's call it even..."

Mo Yuan looked at Chen Yang.

Danyangzi's gaze also fell on Chen Yang.

Perhaps he found it strange that Mo Yuan, with his status and cultivation, would look at this young man with such a questioning gaze?
Chen Yang said, "Senior is joking. Rare treasures are meant to be obtained by those who are destined to find them. Besides, we haven't taken them all. We still have one left at the bottom of the river. If you want it, Senior, you can go and get it yourself. Why are you keeping an eye on us?"

Upon hearing this, Danyangzi frowned.

This kid really knows how to talk. He left me one, but do you think I'd dare take it? If I take that fruit, the Water Bodhi will die, and then heavenly punishment will descend. Are you going to help me bear it?

He stared coldly at Chen Yang, "Junior, is the fruit on you?"

"Yes."

Chen Yang nodded as a matter of course.

Danyangzi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Didn't you say you were from the Pingtian Sect? Now, as an elder of the Pingtian Sect's Pill Hall, I order you to hand over the Ten-Leaf Water Bodhi. Will you hand it over or not?"

"Elder Dantang?"

Chen Yang was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this.

This Danyangzi is indeed related to the Peace Heaven Sect, and he's even an elder of the Pill Hall, so his status seems quite high.

Seeing his reaction, Danyangzi immediately sneered, "What, you don't know that Pingtian Sect has a Pill Hall? You keep saying you're from Pingtian Sect, don't you?"

"Of course I am a disciple of the Pingtian Sect."

Chen Yang snapped out of his daze, puffed out his chest, and looked very proud of himself. "I have this, which is enough to prove my identity."

He took out the token he had picked up and waved it at Danyangzi, saying, "The Heavenly King's Token is here, Danyangzi, open your eyes wide and take a good look..."

I'm not kidding you!

Danyangzi and the yellow-throated marten were both stunned.

Heavenly King's Decree?
Both the man and the beast had their eyes fixed on the token in Chen Yang's hand, and their spiritual energy swept over them.

……

"It really does seem to be the Heavenly King's Decree?" the yellow-throated marten said in surprise.

It was quite familiar with this thing; its owner, Shi Xiangsheng, had one in his possession.

Danyangzi's face darkened.

It was indeed the Heavenly King's Decree, but he felt something was off.

Is this kid really from the Pingtian Sect?
This token cannot be faked. Even within the Pingtian Sect, only someone of high rank and power, or a direct descendant of the sect leader, could possess such a token.

Could this kid be a direct descendant of the sect leader?

So young, yet with such high cultivation, and with a great master like Mo Yuan accompanying and protecting him, it's not impossible!
However, if this kid is a direct disciple of the Pingtian Sect, and the Ten-Leaf Water Bodhi falls into his hands, will he still have a share?
Such a miraculous herb, this kid will definitely take it back to his sect. How could we let him have a share?

No, we absolutely cannot let him take it away.

Having waited and prepared for so long, all that's missing is this one ingredient. With the Great Elixir nearing completion, I have a great chance of breaking through to the Immortal Body level. How could I possibly give up like this?
Once I cultivate the Great Elixir and achieve the Great Perfection of Immortal Body, I won't care about the Pingtian Sect or its leader.
"Danyangzi, what should we do? Old Bai sent a message saying that it was this man and beast who attacked it," the yellow-throated marten asked from the side.

It was genuinely afraid that Danyangzi would back down. If Danyangzi backed down, how could it maintain its composure?

The white fox has probably already fallen into the hands of this man and the rat. When that happens, will I still want to cause trouble for this man and the rat?
"Humph!"

At this moment, Danyangzi snorted coldly and said to Chen Yang, "You dare to impersonate a disciple of the Pingtian Sect with just a worthless token? Junior, you are far too ignorant..."

Chen Yang paused for a moment.

With that tone and attitude, it's obvious they're not admitting it, right?

Sure enough, it wasn't that easy to fool this old fox.

"Danyangzi, how dare you disregard the Heavenly King's decree?" Chen Yang rebuked, using the prestige of the powerful.

"Junior, stop with your pathetic tricks. Even if the sect leader himself came, let alone a mere token, he would still have to give me some face. Trying to scare me with this thing is simply laughable!"

Danyangzi scoffed, "I'll say it one last time: hand over the Ten-Leaf Water Bodhi. Out of respect for Fellow Daoist Rat, I won't pursue your responsibility. Otherwise, no matter who you are, I guarantee you'll die a horrible death."

Damn, can't be intimidated?

Chen Yang's expression was a little unpleasant; this guy didn't seem to take the Pingtian Sect seriously at all.

That's right. With his current strength, why should he need to care about other people's opinions?
"These two don't seem very strong. Danyangzi, let's take them down first. Later, you can have your Ten-Leaf Water Bodhi, and I'll ask them for Old Bai..."

Sensing Danyangzi's attitude, the yellow-throated marten breathed a sigh of relief; it was afraid that Danyangzi would back down.

It didn't care about the young man's identity; it came for the white fox. Now that the white fox's fate was unknown, it naturally wanted to settle scores with this man and the rat.

It was born and raised in this cave, and it doesn't recognize the Pingtian Sect or the Heavenly King's Decree. It only recognizes its master, Shi Xiangsheng.
