Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 301 The Pure and Tranquil True Skill, the White Lotus Manifests

"Ok?"

Master Tai Xian suddenly looked up and stopped playing his drum. "There are other experts?"

The next moment, he saw a cloud of black mist suddenly rise from behind the courtyard, and a human face emerged from the black mist, old and ferocious, staring fixedly at the courtyard.

"Where is my son? Where is my eldest grandson?" the old man murmured.

Master Tai Xian raised an eyebrow and his expression changed. He hadn't expected that this family of three had a powerful backer. Previously, this backer had been hiding underground behind the courtyard, never revealing his presence. Because the distance was not enough, even Master Tai Xian hadn't noticed it.

But when the other party woke up, Master Tai Xian could feel the malevolent aura that was even stronger than that of a family of three combined.

"It's also a malevolent spirit that harms people!" Master Taixian's eyes flashed with sternness, and he was about to strike the drumsticks again.

But before he could make a move, he saw the human face in the black mist become more and more ferocious, the eyes become clearer and clearer, and the corpse aura emanating from the black mist became stronger and stronger.

In just two or three breaths, the ghostly aura within the black smoke far surpassed that of Master Tai Xian.

Without saying a word, Master Taixian immediately put away the large drum in front of him and quickly retreated from the courtyard.

"My dear eldest son! My dear eldest grandson!"

The old man with the aged face let out a shrill roar, then turned to the retreating Taoist Master Taixian. A cloud of black energy surged toward Taoist Master Taixian, shouting, "You traitor! You killed my eldest son! Pay for my son's life!"

Master Tai Xian made a hand seal, and a lotus flower of true qi suddenly appeared around him. At the same time, he took out the Lingfei Jade Talisman and flew into the air with a whoosh.

"Your son and grandson died long ago, turning into corpses and harming people in the human world. I am performing a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife, which is for their own good!" Master Taixian shouted loudly as he hovered in mid-air.

He was just attacked by the black energy, and two lotus leaves of the True Qi Lotus he had hastily condensed were cut off, which startled him. This ghost had at least three hundred years of cultivation, and he was just starting out and really couldn't beat it.

So he immediately summoned helpers in his mind through the Thunder Seed, reported his location, took out a Golden Tiger True Talisman, and flicked his wrist to strike downwards.

"Roar!"

A tiger's roar resounded between heaven and earth, startling the old man's face. Then, golden light pierced through the black mist, causing the old man to cry out in pain and suffer a minor injury.

However, after the attack, the Golden Tiger Talisman made of sandalwood dimmed and returned to Master Taixian's hand, its aura slightly weakened.

"The Shangqing lineage is truly extraordinary." Master Taixian exclaimed in admiration. He then put away the Golden Tiger Talisman and flicked his fingers repeatedly, causing white lotus flowers to materialize out of thin air. The flowers then drifted down and fell towards the black mist.

"Chi chi chi——"

Just like water droplets falling into boiling oil, hissing and steaming, the white lotus was completely dissolved, but the color of the black mist also became lighter and lighter.

"You scoundrel!" The old man with the aged face roared in a mournful voice, and billowing black energy surged upwards, but even after rising hundreds of meters, it still couldn't reach Master Taixian.

The old man's face was pale and sullen.

Even though the other party's cultivation level was not as high as his own, how could he fly through the air?

He is clearly a human, not a bird-like fairy.
The old man looked bewildered, but Master Taixian was delighted. Although the height and speed of the Spirit Flying Jade Talisman were limited, it was nothing short of a life-saving artifact for the weak.

At least if he didn't have the Spirit Flying Jade Talisman, Master Tai Xian, although confident of escaping, would never have been as relaxed and happy as he is now.

Of course, the issue now is not about escaping, but about capturing him!
Master Tai Xian hovered in mid-air, his hands moving constantly, flicking out lotus flowers of true qi to dissipate the black energy. But no matter how furious and crazed the old man's face was, the black energy could not reach Master Tai Xian.

The two were locked in a stalemate for a moment. Although Master Tai Xian could hit the black energy, his own cultivation was insufficient to harm it, while the old man with the aged face, though possessing high magical power, could only rage helplessly. "Ahhh!"

The old man's face contorted in a mournful wail, then suddenly withdrew his black aura and vanished into the back of the courtyard.

White lotus flowers fell from the sky and disappeared into the ground, but to no avail; they could only slowly dissipate.

Master Tai Xian's eyes narrowed, but he did not descend.

Although he lacked combat experience, he had seen it all, even if he hadn't eaten pork. He had read novels and watched TV dramas, so how could he not guess that the opponent might not be running away because he was annoyed by the fight, but rather using a retreat as a strategy to wait for him to lower his body before suddenly attacking and cutting off his escape route?

Master Tai Xian's eyes flashed, and then he flew eastward, quickly leaving the courtyard, as if he no longer wanted to fight and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Moreover, his flight seemed to be off; he was swaying and looked like he was about to crash at any moment.

After he rounded a mountain pass and a grove of trees, he began to sway even more violently, his body wobbling as if he could not maintain his high-altitude, high-speed state. He then flew lower and lower until he finally spotted a secluded valley below and gracefully descended.

As he landed, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, looking as if he had escaped from a tiger's den.

But the moment he landed, a black mist suddenly emerged from beneath his feet, turning into a black curtain that enveloped him, completely cutting off his escape route through the air!
"Jie Jie Jie!"

An old man's face appeared before him, cackling wickedly, "You scoundrel, no matter how clever you are, you can't escape my grasp!"

However, in the gaze of the old man's face, Master Taixian did not show any fear. Instead, he sat cross-legged in the black mist, with a white lotus of true qi firmly protecting him inside. No matter how the black mist washed away and eroded him, it could not break through the white lotus and harm his body.

“Old ghost, although your cultivation is high, your foundation is too weak and your aura is chaotic. When you followed me down there, I could clearly sense when your divine sense locked onto me,” Master Taixian said with a smile.

The old man's expression froze, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Then why did you lower yourself?" The old man with the aged face couldn't help but ask.

Master Tai Xian chuckled, “Of course, it’s because my reinforcements have arrived.”

The next moment, two figures appeared on the two hilltops. One was thin and lazy, with a cigarette in his mouth, while the other had a serious face and an undisguised killing intent in his eyes as he looked at the black mist in the valley.

It was Master Huaiyi of the Jinshan Sect and Master Xuanyong of the Yushan Sect who arrived.

The three of them were descending the mountain for the first time, and their cultivation was not yet sufficient. Although acting alone ensured efficiency, they kept a safe distance from each other to ensure that if one of them encountered a strong enemy, the other two could provide rapid support.

So after receiving the notification from Master Tai Xian, the two old Taoists used their flying jade talismans to rush over to provide support. While communicating with Master Tai Xian, they chose this valley as their destination, intending to give the old ghost a thorough beating from both inside and out.

"Old ghost, take this!"

With a loud shout, the white lotus on Tai Xian's body suddenly shone brightly, and pure white light bloomed, using himself as the root and true qi to manifest the white lotus. The light pierced through the black qi, and the lotus appeared in the world.

At the same time, Daoist Huaiyi and Daoist Xuanyong also made their moves.

Master Huaiyi took a deep breath, then whistled, blowing out a gust of wind that swept through the air and transformed into a giant, striped tiger that pounced on the black mist and began to tear at it.

Master Xuanyong drew his longsword, leaped into the air, his body enveloped in clouds and glowing with azure light, and charged into the black mist. Wherever his sword went, clouds and light bloomed everywhere.

"Monster! Die!"
