Chapter 436 Me? Going to save Master Huang Lin?

Xie Jinhuan was engrossed in his revelry and had almost forgotten where he was when he heard these words and remembered his predicament:

"Was it Sister Guo or the others? They must be so worried about me falling..."

Ye Hongshang shook his head, pressed his right hand against his chest, and a crystal ball immediately appeared in his palm.

Inside the crystal ball, a raging thunderstorm and towering waves filled the air. An old man dressed in a yellow and black Taoist robe ran amidst the waves, tears streaming down his face as he cried out:
"Xie Jinhuan? Xie Jinhuan? Come out here..."

She looked like a heartbroken, abandoned woman, left in a dangerous situation...

"what?!"

Xie Jinhuan was baffled. He pressed down on his ghost wife's hand and continued thrusting his hips while holding her.
"Never mind him, let's continue..."

"Lu Yan is so anxious, it seems like something really has happened. Let me see..."

"Sigh, no matter how big the matter is, can it be more important than the four great joys of life?"

"It seems that Master Huang Lin is surrounded and about to be killed."

"?"

Xie Jinhuan paused, looking at the beautiful ghost wife, and thinking about the situation between good and evil and the common people, he felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle.

However, as a righteous and chivalrous hero, he ultimately chose to "live up to the world and to his beloved," and got up with his ghost wife in his arms, serving her as he ran out.

clap clap clap...

Ye Hongshang was startled, the flower branches swaying violently from the jolt, and she flicked her forehead with her hand:
"What are you doing? Do you really think you're the Ancestor of the Joyous Union, ready to make a grand entrance and do something wicked?"

"Sigh, let's go take a look first, I'll make it up to you later."

"Then put me down first!"

"It won't delay... Hey, hey, don't turn into Empress Xu... Madam Han is fine though, ah~ it hurts, it hurts..."

Rumbling--

Thunderclouds rolled over the Northern Sea Lake, and the thunder and fire turned dozens of miles of land into boiling water. However, the power of the heavens was too strong, and the aftershocks of the energy could not even reach more than a hundred miles away.

Upon hearing the roar from behind, Lü Yan was moved to tears. Fearing that his senior master would be unable to withstand the attack and would self-destruct his golden body, he could only search for the whereabouts of Master Qixia and other seniors at full speed.

But the heavens are vast and he has no divine guidance. How can he find a few people in the vast waters?

Xie Xiao'er, who used to be omnipresent and would rob people whenever he had the chance, has surprisingly failed to show up and hasn't appeared yet.

As time ticked by, Lu Yan grew increasingly anxious and had no choice but to resort to a classical method of finding people—shouting at the top of his lungs!
"Xie Jinhuan? Xie Jinhuan?!"

Facing the endless waves and the raging storm, Lü Yan shouted at the top of his lungs, but there was no response. He felt utterly hopeless.

Fortunately, perhaps his obsession was so strong that it moved the heavens!

Just as Lü Yan was searching anxiously, he suddenly heard a sound coming from the lake not far away:
wow-

Then a shirtless young man emerged from the water, looking around blankly:
"Huh? Wife?"

"Thank you, Jinhuan!"

Lu Yan was startled, knowing that 'Dajiba' had arrived. He scrambled over to it, grabbed its arm, and ran.

"Hurry up……"

Xie Jinhuan had just been holding the ghost and attacking, but after emerging from the water, the ghost disappeared. He was even a little worried that what he had just experienced was an illusion, but then he quickly heard a voice in his ear:

"Sister, take a break, go and get back to your business."

"Hey?"

Xie Jinhuan looked around a few times and found that the ghost had truly 'disappeared into the void', which made him a little suspicious.

However, Ah Piao was probably embarrassed to be seen after causing trouble, so he didn't ask any more questions and followed Lü Yan on his way, inquiring along the way:
"what's the situation?"

Lu Yan said anxiously, "Master Huang Lin encountered Yang Huaxian and Sikong Tianyuan ahead. He wanted to sacrifice himself and take one of them down with him. The other side is also carrying a demonic sword..."

"what?"

Xie Jinhuan had already begun investigating the Gu Poison Sect when Chen Yishan defected. The Blood Rain Tower had indeed found many suspicious points recently. He originally planned to go to the Southern Frontier after finishing his work, but he didn't expect that old man Sikong would defect directly.

If that's the case, then that's perfect...

wrong……

Xie Jinhuan spread his hands and said:

"Why did you pull me along when we ran into Yang Huaxian and Sikong Tianyuan?"

Lu Yan said matter-of-factly, "Go save them! It's an emergency, you'd better hurry..."

Xie Jinhuan was stunned:
"Me? Go and rescue Huang Lin Zhenren, who is being besieged by Yang Huaxian and Sikong Laozu? The other side is even wielding the Corpse Ancestor's divine weapon? How am I supposed to save him?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yan slowed his movements slightly, sized up the unarmed Ah Huan, and then looked behind him:

"Where is the female warrior, Qixia Zhenren?"

Xie Jinhuan had no weapons on him because A Piao had taken him underground earlier, and they were worried that the White-Haired Fairy and the others might need to use their magical weapons, so they had kept them for him.

At this moment, he not only had no weapons, but he also had no birds left, making him a complete beginner at the fifth level.

Seeing that Lü Yan was in a great hurry, Xie Jinhuan could only search for A Piao again, and as always, he heard a reply in his ear:
"Xiao Qixia and the others have no one to guide them and don't know their location. They've already gone over a thousand miles and are still speeding northeast. If we notify them to come back now, it might be too late."

?

Upon hearing this, Xie Jinhuan felt that Master Huang Lin was probably dead for good, and replied:

"I've gotten separated from Qixia Zhenren and the others. What should I do now?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yan immediately became anxious:

"You're asking me? What about your former skills? If you can save your master, I'll give you ten immortal herbs."

Xie Jinhuan's eyes widened in disbelief: "Two sixth-realm old demons, the Immortal Transformation Ancestor and Old Man Sikong, you're sending me to my death with just a few immortal herbs?" "Then name your price! I'll agree to anything I have! I'll even marry my daughter to you!"

"..."

Xie Jinhuan opened his mouth, feeling that the offer was perhaps a little tempting...

Of course, he didn't mean Miss Lü, but rather that the Divination School possessed a divine gift from the Qilin, and that if he held it, he would achieve the Five Elements Gathering...

Xie Jinhuan considered it for a moment and then asked:
"This person is definitely unkillable; I can only try to help him out of this predicament."

"Quickly, quickly! If my master martyrs, Empress Guo will have to shoulder the burden of the North all by herself. You should know how much pressure that will put on her..."

"Let me think of something..."

……
-
thunderbolt--

A bright flash of lightning ripped through the night sky, and four figures moved across the waves.

Huang Lin Zhenren was surrounded by the illusory image of a Qilin, and the surrounding area was a hundred-zhang-high earthen wall that rose from the earth, which was then reduced to broken walls and ruins under the bombardment of incantation and sword energy.

Yang Huaxian and Sikong Tianyuan maintained a distance of several miles, while Kongkong Daoren, who arrived a step later, stood on the earthen wall, panting heavily after a long battle.

Four beings at the sixth realm fighting each other is an extremely rare sight, even during the chaos of the Witch Cult.

But this scene is not unusual in Beiming Lake. It has occurred almost once every sixty years in history, which is why there is the saying of Xiandeng Cemetery.

Huang Lin Zhenren's title alone reveals his expertise in the Five Elements Earth Magic. Even without the Qilin Divine Gift, his protective power remains comparable to that of Buddhism. However, the Daoist and Wu families are known for their agility, and sword cultivators are especially fast and long-limbed. Knowing that he intended to perish together with others, they intervened and protected each other, giving him no chance at all.

Master Huang Lin did not want to die meaninglessly. When he saw that Daoist Kong Kong had arrived with injuries, he knew that Master Qi Xia must have succeeded. He originally wanted to preserve his strength and retreat.

But even those who follow the unorthodox path aren't stupid.

Now that the two opportunities have been seized by the righteous path, Huang Lin Zhenren will return as a powerful and invincible warrior, dominating the northern frontier for the next sixty years. At that time, he will be several times more difficult to deal with than he is now without divinely bestowed magical artifacts.

Therefore, the group still tried their best to kill Huang Lin Zhenren and eliminate the remaining forces of the righteous path.

However, Yang Huaxian and the others were also afraid that Huang Lin Zhenren would take advantage of the situation and replace him, so it turned into a protracted war of attrition, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long.

Under normal circumstances, if Master Huang Lin abandons his equipment to avoid aiding the enemy, and faces three fully equipped warriors of the same realm, even the Valkyrie Qixia would be unable to provide support and would undoubtedly die.

But the reason why the Corpse Ancestor lost back then was because some people were truly unreasonable and always appeared in impossible places, rendering all his brilliant strategies useless.

Boom——

Just as the three joined forces to attack and Huang Lin Zhenren struggled to maneuver around them, a bolt of lightning suddenly lit up in the distance!
Lightning pierced through the chaotic world, illuminating almost the entire expanse of water for dozens of miles.

Yang Huaxian and the others suddenly stopped moving, thinking that the Old Demon of Qixia had arrived.

Master Huang Lin also showed a hint of joy, and they all turned to look at each other.

But instead, they found a young man standing on the lake dozens of miles away.

The young man, shirtless and with his arms crossed, carried no weapons or protective gear. He simply stared coldly at the Xiandeng battlefield, much like a martial ancestor perched atop a mountain, casually observing four menacing ants.

Not far away, Lü Yan stood to his side, holding the Five Elements Seal in his hand and with one hand behind his back. His imposing aura was even more formidable than that of Huang Lin Zhenren...

?

Seeing their domineering appearance, Yang Huaxian thought these two greenhorns were courting death. Even if he didn't say anything, Kongkong Daoist could kill them with a single sword strike.

But Xie Jinhuan has such a great reputation, surely he can't be a moron?

Could these three evil tycoons just stand there and give away their loot so casually?

Therefore, the three of them quickly stopped their attack, scanned the surrounding waters, and searched for traces of the Old Demon Qixia.

Thump thump thump…

Lu Yan stood against the wind, his heart pounding like an emperor's engine!
Xie Jinhuan remained completely calm and composed, gazing at the few old men in the distance, and spoke in a flat tone:
"Sikong Tianyuan, you were once Ye Sheng's student. Why did you betray the righteous path and commit such an unjust act?"

The voice showed no fear, only contempt and scrutiny towards those who were dishonest.

Sikong Tianyuan, leaning on his rattan cane, responded from afar:
"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. This is not the place for you to speak. If you want Ye Sheng to show himself, then please have Ye Sheng come out."

Xie Jinhuan frowned slightly:
"You are no longer worthy to see Ye Sheng, but as Ye Sheng's student, I will still give you a chance. The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but there is always a shore to return to. If you now relinquish the Xuanwu Divine Gift and sever ties with Yang Huaxian, the righteous path can still allow you to reform. Otherwise, even if you can leave today, I will go to the Southern Frontier tomorrow and completely overthrow the Gu Poison Sect!"

Sikong Tianyuan, always meticulous in his thinking, failed to find any trace of Qixia Zhenren and the others, so he carefully examined Xie Jinhuan:
"You came alone?"

Xie Jinhuan remained unmoved, while Lü Yan beside him felt a sudden jolt of fear, thinking to himself—it's all over...

But at that moment, a voice came from behind:
"Hahaha! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. Now that things have come to this, don't say the righteous path didn't give you a chance..."

Everyone held their breath and turned to look, only to see a white-haired Daoist nun in golden armor rushing towards them like a madwoman. She passed by Lü Yan and even snatched the Five Elements Seal. Her actions, demeanor, and tone were exactly the same as those of the Old Demon Qixia...

? !
Upon seeing this scene, Yang Huaxian's expression changed drastically. He knew it was impossible to deal with Huang Lin Zhenren any longer. If he were entangled by Qixia Laomo and the Valkyrie also attacked, he might even suffer casualties on the spot. Therefore, without hesitation, he vanished into the wind and rain.

"go!"

Sikong Tianyuan actually suspected that Xie Jinhuan was playing the "empty city ploy," after all, this wasn't the first time; he had done something similar at the Vermilion Bird Mausoleum.

But Qixia Zhenren did appear. Even if there's a 90% chance that something is amiss, they won't suffer any loss if they retreat. But if it's real, the situation will collapse on the spot!
Therefore, Sikong Tianyuan and Kongkong Daoren also quickly fled.

Huang Lin Zhenren's recognition of Qixia Laomo is no less than Lü Yan's recognition of Xie Jinhuan!

Seeing that the Taoist Double Flower Red Sticks had arrived, he knew he had to stop them, so he quickly gave chase!
Damn it? !
Xie Jinhuan saw this scene and knew something was wrong!

After all, this white-haired fairy was a ghost in disguise. If Old Man Huang really rushed up to stop her, wouldn't that expose his disguise?

Fortunately, Yang Huaxian and other heretical cultivators are no ordinary people. Leaving aside their direct actions, their ability to escape is far more professional than that of the righteous path; otherwise, they wouldn't have qualified to live to the sixth realm.

In the blink of an eye, the three figures vanished.

When Master Huang Lin's two "Ten Thousand Mile Divine Travel Spells" failed to stop the person, he was heartbroken and felt that he was really getting old.

A group of young people rushed over excitedly to help suppress the evil forces, but he couldn't even hold them back in front of him. How could he turn around and face the reinforcements?

Therefore, Master Huang Lin steeled his heart and chased after them for a while longer, making Ah Huan very nervous, but fortunately, they escaped unharmed...
