The road is vague

Chapter 249 Sweeping Through the Secret Realm (Part 1)

The two flying swords collided in mid-air, producing a crisp sound.

Chen Linglong's magical power trembled, and the Langya Sword flew out in response. After tumbling more than ten feet in the air, it circled back to her side, its blade humming softly.

Just for a moment.

Chen Linglong immediately sensed the dual suppression of the opponent's magical power and the strength of the magical artifact. She could even vaguely see the sword path reflected by the opponent, which seemed to be countless people eagerly waiting under the midday sun. She immediately gasped.

The understanding of swordsmanship is far too exaggerated for a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

She had just gone all out, activating her Heavenly Frost Thunder Body talent, which was attached to the replica Langya Sword in the form of spiritual light.

But in front of the other side, it still seems to be completely vulnerable.

"what?"

Li Mo seemed to have discovered something. He raised his eyebrows slightly and then waved his hand to retrieve the Tiancheng Huajin Sword, which was as stable as a mountain.

He looked at the wisp of milky-white lightning that remained on the sword.

Each time the thunderclap exploded, a wisp of frost spread out.

Although the frost was quickly dispelled by the positive yang energy on the sword, it still aroused his curiosity. After carefully observing with his spiritual eye, he actually gained some insights.

"Is this the characteristic of the Heavenly Frost Thunder Body? It actually combines the way of thunder and ice. It seems to be even deeper than the way of water that I comprehended with the help of runes in the ethereal dream a few days ago."

That being said.

But talent is just talent.

As a cultivator's cultivation level and basic understanding of Daoist principles continue to improve, their talents can be explained through various Daoist insights, and corresponding effects can also be achieved through these insights.

"Instructor Li, are you really going to push this to the extreme?"

Chen Linglong asked through gritted teeth.

Li Mo ignored Chen Linglong. With his powerful spiritual light, he casually wiped away the remaining lightning on the Tiancheng Huajin Sword. Without saying a word, he summoned it again, transforming it into a dark golden stream of light that shot out.

Upon seeing this, Chen Linglong was furious, her expression immediately contorted into a ferocious and hysterical state.

You must know that she was an elite disciple carefully cultivated by the Chen family over more than ten years. Despite her kind and gentle request, the other party showed no mercy and acted as if they wanted to expel her from the secret realm. When had she ever suffered such humiliation in the sect?

"Then let me show you the true essence of the Heavenly Frost Thunder Body!"

Chen Linglong let out a roar, and an astonishing burst of ice and lightning spiritual power erupted. White lightning surged outwards continuously, and the temperature in the vicinity plummeted. Then, the ice and lightning materialized, and a large number of ice and lightning doves appeared, each full of spirituality. In an instant, there were dozens of them, and the number was still increasing.

A loud bang from the local area!
The two flying swords crossed in mid-air, and the Tiancheng Huajin Sword once again deflected the Langya Sword.

Just as Tiancheng Huajin Sword was about to charge straight in, until Chen Linglong left, a large number of ice lightning doves rushed towards Tiancheng Huajin Sword one after another, creating an amazing ice explosion effect that blocked and froze Tiancheng Huajin Sword.

A short moment.

After countless ice explosions, the Tiancheng Huajin Sword stopped three zhang in front of Chen Linglong, unable to advance any further.

Following a series of ice explosions, the Tiancheng Huajin Sword was frozen solid into a massive block of ice, its interior faintly radiating a dark golden hue. It was completely encased in ice, creating a truly spectacular scene.

This solid ice, which looks like frost, is actually lightning.

Chen Linglong looked up at the sky and let out a long howl.

"Even if you are Li Mo, even if you defeated Chen Kaixuan, even if others fear your reputation, so what? I am Chen Linglong!"

Chen Linglong's expression revealed a hint of madness.

A continuous stream of ice and lightning doves gathered and appeared around her.

Seeing this, Li Mo in the air calmly stretched out his right hand, gathered his scattered essence and spirit in the two realms with his right index finger, and began to outline and write in front of him. The Zha Nian Thunder Spear gradually took shape.

Chen Linglong was about to launch a counterattack, but her eyes widened when she saw the Zha Nian Thunder Spear in Li Mo's hand.

She also happened to learn and comprehend this intermediate-level spell.

However, with her early Foundation Establishment cultivation, it was quite difficult for her to execute, and the power displayed by the opponent's spell was simply too unbelievable!
It was only then that she suddenly remembered.

The way the opponent used this technique was actually through the methods of Qian Jing's lineage in the Law Enforcement Hall, drawing out the power of heaven and earth to condense a lightning spear on the spot. Although the speed of casting the technique was a bit slower, the power was greatly increased, and it was also more energy-efficient.

The white lightning flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Chen Linglong felt the terrifying spiritual pressure emanating from it, and her soul trembled. She used her lightning escape technique to teleport about three zhang away, but she was still instantly blasted away by a terrifying lightning explosion.

However, before she could catch her breath, Li Mo approached silently again using the Wind Escape Technique, his hidden flying needles flashing and disappearing in an instant.

Ding!
Just as Li Mo was about to succeed, he heard a metallic clanging sound coming from under Chen Linglong's crane cloak.

"Inner armor?"

Having failed in his sneak attack, Li Mo quickly retrieved the Xuanming Needle to prevent it from being destroyed by the opponent's magic weapon.

Chen Linglong then realized that she had almost been attacked. Even with the protection of the refuge talisman, she was still shaken after flying back more than ten feet. At this moment, although her Frost and Lightning Technique was still ongoing, even at the peak of its execution, it was still being suppressed by her opponent.

At this time.

The dark golden light struck again. The target of Li Mo's Thunder Spear attack was actually to destroy the Frost Seal, not her.

Chen Linglong immediately used her continuous secret spiritual power to activate the Extreme Cold Ice Shield Technique, and a pale blue ice shield suddenly formed in front of her.

Bang!
Although the ice shield was shattered in one corner, scattering large pieces of ice crystals, it successfully blocked the attack of the Tiancheng Huajin Sword.

But it was only a single blow.

Seeing the dark golden light quickly swirl and disappear, Chen Linglong's face turned pale. Although she still had a backup plan in her spirit beast pouch, she had completely lost the courage to fight back. She realized that the huge gap in strength between the two sides could not be bridged by external means.

Chen Linglong gave Li Mo a deep look.

"Your guidance today has been greatly appreciated, and I, Chen Linglong, have taken it to heart!"

After saying that, she decisively tore off the refuge talisman, and her figure twisted and disappeared.

The entire exchange lasted only a dozen or so breaths.

"To achieve this level with the cultivation of the early Foundation Establishment stage is quite impressive."

The Tiancheng Huajin Sword spun around and landed at Li Mo's feet.

He first looked around to make sure there was no one else nearby, then looked at the two strands of true yang fire on the ground, one the size of a broad bean and the other the size of a soybean.

The wisp of true yang fire, about the size of a broad bean, was left behind by Chen Linglong when she left this place.

The other wisp of True Yang Fire was an unexpected discovery after he used the Zha Nian Thunder Spear to create a crater about ten feet in diameter on the ground.

So he took out the True Yang Furnace, put away the two strands of True Yang Fire, and flew towards another volcano several miles away.

True Yang Fire is one of the basic materials for casting the True Yang Cauldron.

As a replica of a Tongtian Lingbao (a magical artifact), its basic materials are quite mysterious and cannot be taken away by ordinary means. This is why the Jiang family chose to forge the cauldron in this secret realm.

……

Near the low-lying crater.

Lu Ping and Fan Gao were fighting here. Between the two of them, there was a ball of True Yang Fire of astonishing size, which burned quietly like an orange.

Both of them were at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

One was from the Lü family, who married into the Luo family and had a wide circle of friends within the family.

The other was a bannerman from Luquan County, who happened to be in charge of the Luo family mansion.

The two sides already harbored deep resentment, and this internal strife within the Justice Society escalated to the point of armed conflict, with friends on both sides dying at the hands of the other. Furthermore, the unexpected discovery of this True Yang Fire only fueled their hatred, leading to a fierce fight without a word.

at this time.

Two figures flew in from a distance.

The two men, who were fighting fiercely, suddenly became tense.

Upon recognizing the visitors as members of the Justice Society, Fan Gao's eyes lit up, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, grinning at the two of them.

"So it's Fellow Daoists Chen Cheng and Fang Qiong. You two have arrived at just the right time. This person is from the Lü family and has married into the Luo family. She has a long-standing grudge against me. I would like to ask you two to lend a hand and fight alongside me. This ball of True Yang Fire can be your reward."

These two were the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Battle of Qinglongtan.

Upon seeing such a large quantity of True Yang Fire, the two were immediately intrigued.

Compared to Fang Qiong, Chen Cheng is little known, but Fan Gao is one of those few people.

However, although his surname is Chen, he is not a member of the Chen family; it is just a coincidence that they share the same surname.

Lü Ping's expression changed.

Both of them were at the late Foundation Establishment stage. She kept observing them secretly, preparing an escape plan, but Fan Gao was already prepared for this and was on high alert.

Chen Cheng and Fang Qiong exchanged a glance and couldn't help but grin.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Fan. Fellow Daoist, don't be anxious, the two of us will make our move now."

The two simultaneously unleashed their magical weapons, aiming directly at Lü Ping.

Just as Fan Gao revealed his arrogance, two cold glints flashed. One of them suddenly turned and shot towards Fan Gao. When the flying knife was less than a foot away from Fan Gao, a shield suddenly appeared from its concealed state and blocked the flying knife.

This shield actually has the ability to conceal itself and wait for the enemy to tire themselves out.

This sudden turn of events left Fan Gao momentarily stunned, before he flew into a rage.

"You are crazy!"

In contrast.

After blocking the attack, Lü Ping wore a mocking expression.

"Fool, haven't you realized yet? These two have joined forces, and there are only two spots for the true disciples this time. To them, anyone else is superfluous!"

Seeing that his sneak attack had failed and that Lü Ping had exposed him, Chen Cheng simply stopped pretending.

"We are both at the late Foundation Establishment stage. If we join forces, we might have a chance to seize a spot. So, Fellow Daoist Fan, we can only ask you to make do with this."

that's it.

Fan Gao and Lü Ping, who were originally fighting, were forced to temporarily join forces to fight against Chen Cheng and Fang Qiong.

Both of them were late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even with Fan Gao and Lü Ping joining forces, they were no match for each other, which made Van Gogh grit his teeth and feel extremely anxious.

But at this moment.

Another person appeared in the distance, who, despite knowing the situation, still flew over.

This unexpected turn of events filled Fan Gao with immense joy.

When the four looked at the person who arrived on a sword, light in body and with an indifferent expression, and confirmed his identity, their expressions changed drastically.

Chen Cheng and Fang Qiong, in particular, had personally witnessed Li Mo display his divine power at Qinglongtan and knew that his strength was terrifying. It was far from time to take advantage of the situation, and it would be unwise to fight him.

In their vision, everyone would inevitably be trembling with fear over a battle involving the Ye siblings.

Only after this will the two have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Lü Ping saw it as a lifeline.

"So it's Instructor Li. We had a very pleasant collaboration in the Nine Yin Cave before. How about we work together again?"

Li Mo looked down at the four people from his high vantage point.

After assessing the strength of the four individuals, he immediately took out the Six Calamities and Six Disasters Matrix Puppet and the Six Ding and Six Jia Matrix Puppet.

"Everyone from the Lü family, shut up!"

After Chen Cheng's reprimand, his eyes darted around rapidly as he looked at Li Mo with a smile.

"So it's Instructor Li. We had a pleasant collaboration at Qinglongtan. We can handle these two. Instructor Li, there's no need to waste your magic here. You should go check on other mountains as soon as possible, lest the Ye siblings reunite and ruin everything."

Li Mo activated the Shadow Line Secret Technique, and the spiritual power of the two sets of matrix puppets suddenly surged.

Upon experiencing the terrifying spiritual power emanating from the two puppets up close, Chen Cheng, Fang Qiong, Fan Gao, and Lü Ping were all horrified.

"It's alright. With the strength of the four of you, it shouldn't take much time or magic. It won't cause any delay."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng was momentarily stunned.

Fan Gao, however, realized what was happening and burst into hearty laughter.

"Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng, you probably never dreamed that you could take advantage of the chaos and be the one unaware of the others' schemes, but in reality, you're just a small fry that can be easily dealt with in other people's eyes, hahahaha!"

Lü Ping, on the other hand, looked surprised and uncertain.

This Coach Li seems to have changed quite a bit in just a few months.

I don't know if it was because the disguise was clever before, or if something happened in the past few months.

Chen Cheng, enraged and embarrassed, looked at Li Mo.

"You underestimate us too much. We both contributed to the battle at Qinglongtan! Moreover, aren't you afraid that the Ye siblings will ultimately reap the benefits and seize the two true disciple spots, bringing shame upon Hall Master Lu?"

"This is not something you need to worry about."

After a cold laugh, Li Mo immediately commanded the two sets of matrix puppets to launch an attack.

The Six Calamities and Six Disasters Matrix Puppet assumed a charging stance, its fire elemental power exceptionally active in this high-temperature environment.

The Six Ding Six Jia Matrix Puppet suddenly and eerily disappeared before the four people's eyes, and the next moment it appeared above Fan Gao's head, stretching out a huge palm and silently pinching his head, seemingly preparing to crush it in one swift motion.

For Li Mo

If we can use the Ye family siblings to lure together a large number of powerful individuals, and then seize the opportunity to have the advanced True Demon clone suddenly appear and wipe them all out, that would be the perfect choice.
