One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 158 157: Ambush

Zhao Fuyun looked up at the boundless sky that seemed to not exist at all.

That vast fog was like a deep ocean and chaos.

“This is a Taoist soldier.”

Ge Wenyun said in surprise, just as Zhao Fuyun had guessed.

"I once read in an ancient book that in the past, when fighting in the cave heavens, Taoist soldiers were often used to charge in. If there was a strong Taoist soldier, it could cut down the caves and break through the mountains. What's more, in ancient times, the attacks between the various realms were always accompanied by Taoist soldiers, and each family had its own way of training Taoist soldiers."

The monks of Mount Li don't seem to be very capable in practicing magic and fighting. That can only be attributed to the lack of training in this area, not to say that their inheritance is poor. Both Ge Wenyun in front of him and Master Jin Xiuzhi have very pure and upright magic light on their bodies.

The purity of Dharma Light shows that his method of practice is very good, and its positive nature shows that the thoughts formed during the practice are good and will not make people feel bad.

If you see green mountains and clear waters, trees, rocks, sunshine and rain, having these feelings is pure and upright.

Zhao Fuyun felt a foul air coming from this giant who looked like a half-beast.

What Zhao Fuyun is thinking about now is how this giant Taoist soldier was born here by himself, and where did he come from.

"Brother Fuyun, where do you think this Taoist soldier came from? In this Tianfu, only natural spiritual materials are slowly growing, and real flesh and blood life has almost never appeared. The appearance of the spider just now was already a surprise, and now there is also a giant Taoist soldier like this."

There was an extra layer of worry in Ge Wenyun's voice. It was obvious that if a large group of Taoist soldiers appeared, not only would the people coming in be in trouble, but if they broke out of this paradise, it might bring trouble to Mount Li.

Now one can appear, so will there be two or three, or a large group?
The light in Zhao Fuyun's hand shone on the giant, and the totem symbols on his body could be clearly seen. But when Zhao Fuyun covered the light with his hand, the giant in front of him quickly sank.

How can a person be silent on earth?

Unless he knew how to burrow into the earth, which the giant didn't, when the light was turned off, without the direct illumination of the light, the giant's figure quickly disappeared into the void, as if there was nothing there.

The totem-like runes on this Taoist soldier's body actually have the mysterious power to make the opponent invisible.

"It's still there." Ge Wenyun kicked it with his foot, and the clear touch told him that it was still there.

Zhao Fuyun took his hand away, and the giant appeared again in the light, which broke through the darkness that obscured the giant's figure.

"The runes on the Taoist soldiers have at least the ability to make them stronger, more powerful, and more invisible."

The way to train Taoist soldiers is not only to tattoo symbols on their bodies, but also to provide food, pills, and training.

"We need to be careful. I wonder if other people have encountered such Taoist soldiers." Zhao Fuyun reminded.

"Oh, yes, we have to go and remind them." Ge Wenyun packed up quickly, and then he and Zhao Fuyun quickly returned to the way they came.

First, he met Wen Qi and Li Shiping from Hongrui Peak and told them what had happened. They were very surprised. Then he went to find the senior sister Wenxi from the main peak of Mount Li, who took him very seriously.

So they separated into groups of two and went to inform other people.

There are four peaks in Mount Li, namely Lilong Peak, Hanxiu Peak, Hongrui Peak and Wuyin Peak.

In addition, there is the Zhang family of Hejian and the royal family of the Great Zhou.

There were a lot of people outside before, so Zhao Fuyun just took a glance and Wen Yun didn't introduce himself to him because there was no time, so he just came in later.

After coming in, everyone dispersed and we didn’t have time to get to know each other.

It is also necessary to notify Wuyin Peak, the royal family of Da Zhou, and the Zhang family of Hejian.

Everyone chose a direction to look for the three groups of people. Coincidentally, Zhao Fuyun found Wen Yi from Wuyin Peak. With her was the eldest son of the Jinjian Zhong family, who had been determined to enter here with Wenyun, Zhong Dingfeng, who was known as the Divine Beauty of Zhong Jinjian.

He was holding a ball of light in his hand at this moment, which shone brightly with the lamp held by Zhao Fuyun, making it particularly eye-catching in the dark fog.

The reason why he was said to be holding a bead of light in his hand was because what he was holding also looked like a lamp, but at the top was not a flame, but a white bead emitting a pale light.

The pearl lamp looks delicate, mysterious and profound.

He looked at the lamp in Zhao Fuyun's hand, sized him up, and listened to Wen Yun's words. Wen Yi's temperament seemed a little weak. After listening to Wen Yun's words, he was very surprised and said, "How could such a thing exist?"

If the image is a Taoist soldier, then it is not born naturally, but a Taoist soldier raised by humans. In this case, we need to find out where it comes from.

"It is unbelievable that there are Taoist soldiers in this secret and closed Tianfu." Zhong Dingfeng beside him said, "Since you are so sure, we still want to take a look. As the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is not."

Zhao Fuyun didn't say anything. He could feel the hostility emanating from Zhong Dingfeng, which was not only directed at himself, but also Wen Yun.

Before, he had wanted to come in with Han Xiufeng. Although Han Xiufeng did not give him a positive answer, she did not directly reject him either.

Until Zhao Fuyun arrived, all his ideas came to nothing.

He has been practicing cultivation until now and regards this incident as a great humiliation. The Zhong family is also a wealthy family, and this participation in the Tianfu collection is regarded as a symbol of entering the upper class of aristocratic families.

Therefore, he not only hated Zhao Fuyun deeply, but also hated Han Xiufeng extremely.

It was okay for the other party to not believe it and want to see. Zhao Fuyun and Wen Yun brought them to the first stop where they came in. After waiting there for a while, they saw light appearing in the fog. They were each holding a magical weapon that could emit spiritual light and dispel the fog.

When everyone came together, it instantly became much brighter.

The people from the Zhang family of Hejian and the royal family of the Great Zhou who came later did not quite believe it. They thought it was impossible for "Tao soldiers" to appear here, so they had to take a look.

Heading all the way to the place where the 'Taoist soldier' died, Zhao Fuyun was thinking in his heart that if the 'Taoist soldier' disappeared after he got there, it would mean that there was more than just one Taoist soldier here.

Zhao Fuyun felt that this possibility was not impossible. If there was one, there would be two. Why couldn't there be a group of two?

It didn't take long to find the place where the 'Taoist soldier' died, and then no one saw anything.

What’s even more surprising is that there is not even a trace.

Wen Yun was very surprised, while Zhao Fuyun looked into the fog. His eyes were blazing with fire, and the distance he could see immediately became farther and clearer. There was no feeling of fog or darkness blocking his eyes.

He looked around but saw nothing.

Someone chuckled.

"Nothing." This is what Zhong Dingfeng said after he chuckled.

Everyone else was silent. They intuitively knew that Wen Yun would not lie, and there was no need to do so, but there was nothing here.

If they were told that a group of Taoist soldiers had come in, they would not really believe it and thought it was unlikely.

Wen Yun was also a little panicked. She looked at the place, but there was nothing there, not even a trace.

"Someone took the body away and erased all traces." Wen Yun said.

The others were silent, because they didn't know whether to believe it or not. "Haha, the time for Tianfu's collection is urgent, so we won't bother you from looking for Taoist soldiers." The person who spoke was from the Zhang family in Hejian.

After they finished speaking, they turned and left.

Then someone from the Zhou royal family said, "If Fairy Wenyun's magic can kill the Taoist soldiers, there's no reason why we in the Zhou family can't kill them. Time is running out, so I'll go first." The people from the Zhou royal family also left.

Zhao Fuyun could see that the pride of the Zhou royal family was deep in their bones.

Next are the people from the four peaks of Mount Li.

"Junior Sister Wenyun, did you really kill a Taoist soldier?" Wenxi asked.

"Senior Sister, would I joke about such a thing?" Wen Yun asked back.

"Then let's use this as the starting point and search in all directions." Wenxi said. She is the eldest senior sister of Mount Li, so everyone will naturally listen to what she says.

So everyone scattered and searched, but as soon as they scattered, the place that was originally bright suddenly became dark. Even the lamp in Zhao Fuyun's hand could not drive away the loneliness in the darkness.

"Senior sister, don't be anxious." Zhao Fuyun said.

"How can I not be anxious? The body of a Taoist soldier just disappeared like that, and obviously his companions are still there. Everyone is in danger." Wen Yun said.

"Yes, it is dangerous, but I think everyone is very confident in their magic. Even if we encounter it, it won't be a big danger." Zhao Fuyun just saw that the ones who were really nervous were the four girls with the surname 'Wen' in Mount Li.

Although the others looked shocked and doubtful, they were not very scared.

In their opinion, if Zhao Fuyun could kill, they could certainly kill as well, and it seemed that Zhao Fuyun killed them very easily. They were also confident in themselves and did not think that they were inferior to Zhao Fuyun who came out of nowhere.

Wen Yun sighed and searched for a while. When he came back, he saw three groups of bright lights already waiting there. They probably didn't search for long before coming back.

"Junior Sister Wenyun, have you found it?" Wenxi asked.

Wenyun shook his head.

The man next to Wenxi said impatiently, "Since we haven't found him, there's no need to look for him. He's just a soldier who doesn't know how to practice. He's just a slave. Even if we find him, we can just capture him and interrogate him."

Li Shiping, who was next to Wen Qi, waved the fan in his hand and said, "Brother Han is right. It is more important for us to collect. Tianfu opens only once every twenty years. Don't miss this rare opportunity. Just be careful."

Zhong Dingfeng, who was next to Wen Yi, just smiled without saying a word, but his eyes were full of mockery.

Everyone dispersed again, and the groups of light left. There was only Zhao Fuyun's lamp here. Wen Yun looked back at Zhao Fuyun and said, "Junior Brother Fuyun..."

She only said these four words and couldn't continue because she didn't know what to say.

"Sister, why worry? The purpose of our coming in is to collect the precious materials here. Things have already happened, so we just need to be careful." Zhao Fuyun said so, and Wen Yun could only suppress all the thoughts in his mind.

It seemed as if everything had returned to calm.

But the fog is still the same fog, but it seems to be much more dangerous.

Wen Yun was still collecting, but his movements were more agile, as if he was rushing to harvest. At the same time, he would occasionally look around, like a spirit deer eating grass with its head down, carefully observing the situation around it.

When she looked up, she found that four firebirds were flying around in the sky.

It shone through the fog, making the bright area much larger and giving her a sense of security.

……

The people from Hejian Zhang were the first to leave.

The person walking first was named Zhang He, and he was holding a lamp-like magical instrument in his hand.

The Zhang family spent a considerable amount of money to buy this evil-burning lamp. The flame on it is a poisonous evil fire collected from deep in the volcano, which is contained in the lamp with a secret method. It has the ability to burn evil and refine demons.

Zhang He's own foundation is also the Fire Evil Foundation, so he can drive this lamp with ease.

Next to him was his cousin named Zhang Tong, with a precious pearl hanging around his neck, shining brightly in the darkness.

"Brother He? Are you really talking about unknown Taoist soldiers?" Zhang Tong asked.

Zhang He was silent for a while and then said, "In theory, Wen Yun is not the kind of person who would lie."

"But how is it possible? Is there another entrance in this heavenly palace?" Zhang He asked.

"Who knows?" Zhang He thought.

"Is it true?" Zhang Tong asked in surprise.

"It doesn't matter if it really exists. What I'm afraid of is that Lishan is up to some evil intentions," said Zhang He.

"Lishan has evil intentions?" Zhang Tong repeated this sentence, and said: "Although the mountain master of Lishan is a Jindan cultivator, he has never been good at fighting. It's good enough for them to guard this mountain. What plans can they have?"

"Alas, you don't know that the abbot of Luoxian Temple made a divination more than ten years ago. The hexagram was complicated, but the final interpretation meant that dragons and snakes would rise from the land, heaven and earth would be in turmoil, and a great catastrophe would come." Zhang He said.

“No matter how great the catastrophe is, can Mount Li still turn the tables? If it weren’t for the impact, the ownership of Mount Li would have changed long ago.” Zhang Tong said.

Zhang He didn't say anything. He held the lamp in his hand and suddenly stopped because he seemed to hear some sound in his ears.

"What's wrong, brother He?" Zhang Tong asked puzzledly.

"Be careful, there seems to be something." After Zhang He said that, he turned around. The light in his hand seemed to rise according to his wishes. In an instant, a huge ball of light surged up, dispersing the fog that was originally squeezing the light. However, the moment the fog was dissipated, the things under the fog were revealed.

There were dark green faces like animals, tall giants with hunched backs and red hair on their heads.

His hands hung below his knees, he had pointed ears, an animal nose, exposed fangs, and a leather cloth wrapped around his waist, like an orc who had not yet fully evolved into a human.

There were not just one orc, but four, who had surrounded them silently. When they were illuminated by the light, they did not retreat and hide. Instead, they let out a low growl, bent over, and pounced on them.

Zhang Tong was horrified and screamed, "Brother He! Taoist soldiers!"

Zhang He swung the lamp in his hand, and a burst of fire surged up, dividing into four beams, and shot towards the four orc-like Taoist soldiers like four flaming arrows.

Zhang He was an extremely outstanding member of the Zhang family of Hejian.

He has a strong and pure fire power, and he is adept at controlling fire and can use various techniques at will.

In an instant, the flames split into four parts and turned into four rockets, which instantly fell on the four half-beast Taoist soldiers and turned into thick flames, submerging the four Taoist soldiers.
