Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 461 What a pity

The three were about to step out of the hole to give chase.

A sudden shout interrupted my thoughts:
"stop!"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, then stopped in their tracks.

The next moment, Huang Shigong appeared in front of the void, holding the Xuanhuang Banner.

The three quickly bowed and said respectfully:

"Greetings, Lord of Scriptures!"

Huang Shigong stood with his back to the three of them, watching Tu Ling's departing figure, a look of anger appearing on his face.

This earth spirit actually ignored his call to stop and chased after him out of the Xuanhuang region?

He did want to chase after them and kill Luan Xuan, but he was afraid that Jin Peng would suddenly turn around and rush back. With Dao Yan alone, he probably couldn't protect Shi Lin and the others, and more people would die!
And who knows if Jin Peng and his men have prepared any ambushes in the rear?
What's wrong with this earth spirit?

Where is the brain?
Huang Shigong was furious and cursed loudly:

"Bastard thing!"

The three men from the Stone Forest were terrified and dared not utter a word. After a moment, Huang Shigong looked back at the three men and said:
"Let me recount the situation in detail."

The three from Shilin became serious, and then hurriedly recounted in detail how Kunshan and his group had planned to join forces with the Earth Spirit Temple Master to ambush Kunshan and Wujiu's group.

Huang Shigong, his face cold, showed a hint of surprise when he heard that the Earth Spirit Temple Master had unleashed the power of the Earth Spirit to forcibly kill Wu Jiu.

But upon hearing that the blood and flesh of the vulture had exploded and stained Feng Xiao and Tu Chen, the two men died instantly, and Huang Shigong cursed under his breath once more.

As expected, Fenglingdao was just sending Wujiu to his death!
Huang Shigong's face turned completely ashen when he heard Luanxuan unleash his Daoist aura, kill Kunshan in one strike, and break free of the restraints.

Dao Yan, who had arrived, also became solemn.

Luan Xuan has broken through!
Although his Daoist cultivation was not deep and he fell into weakness after two strikes, he had still made a breakthrough.

This is not good news for either side in the central region.

At this point, the two suddenly understood the purpose of Jin Peng's sudden invasion with his followers.

This was originally intended to exploit information asymmetry to eliminate the future general of the Central Domain.

The two exchanged a glance, and Huang Shigong gritted his teeth and slammed the Xuanhuang Banner into the ground!

Dao Yan's expression changed slightly upon seeing this. He instantly understood Huang Shigong's thoughts and said to Huang Shigong:
"The forces that attacked Zizhen's route were surrounded and annihilated by Zizhen and others, and three Nascent Soul cultivators of Fengling Dao were killed. In the end, it wasn't a loss."

That was true, but it only further agitated Huang Shigong.

It's Zi Zhen again! And the Yanwu Territory again!
Although he was not jealous, Zizhen had made many victories, while Xuanhuang Sect had been suffering continuous losses.

Even if he didn't care about such vanity, he still felt a little embarrassed!
Although both regions represent the Central Region in this attack on Fenglingdao, they belong to different Venerables' sects, and he did not want to embarrass the Xuanhuang Temple Master.

Moreover, it would be one thing if the Earth Spirit was truly as useless as before.

But according to Shi Lin and the others, Tu Ling had just killed Wu Jiu.

Even for a black vulture whose spirit body is a mixture of fusion and hybridity, this is not easy.

He didn't want the Earth Spirit Vulture to die in vain!

Looking back at Xiang Daoyan, Huang Shigong said:
"I have planted the Xuanhuang Flag here. I would appreciate it if Dao Yan could keep an eye on it and protect the four lines. Be careful that Jin Peng doesn't launch a surprise attack. I have already notified the flag guard, and he will be here soon. I will go out and retrieve Tu Ling."

Dao Yan's expression changed; as expected, Huang Shigong still wanted to go out.

To be honest, if he were to ask himself and put himself in his shoes, he wouldn't be able to directly abandon a subordinate who was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

His expression changed several times before Dao Yan finally spoke:
"In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea! Regardless of whether we can find it or not, please let the Lord return, and let the greater good take precedence!"

Huang Shigong nodded solemnly, then rushed out of the boundary and chased after the Earth Spirit Temple Master.

Outside the Xuanhuang region.

Li Wushou, disguised as the Earth Spirit Abbot, and Luan Xuan flew one after the other to the Maple Valley where they had landed earlier, while Huang Shigong was questioning Shi Lin and the others.

Through his gaze, Li Wushou clearly saw Huang Shigong's action of stopping Shi Lin and the other two.

Seeing Huang Shigong set off to chase after them, they were speechless.

He never expected that Huang Shigong would value the Earth Spirit Temple Master so much. According to Zi Zhen's information, the Earth Spirit Temple Master was never liked by anyone in the Xuanhuang Temple because he imitated the Xuanhuang Temple Master.

Why is it that Huang Shigong has come chasing after us now?

This completely dashed Li Wushou's hopes of luring Shi Lin and the others out!
However, Li Wushou was not disappointed. This time, the gains from Zizhen Daoist's side had exceeded his expectations.

Shi Lin and others have plenty of opportunities, but Huang Shigong, this fish is too big and too sensitive.

He was still hoping that the other side would continue to annihilate Fenglingdao.

Looking around Maple Valley, the great battle two hundred miles away had no effect on it.

The sky was filled with swirling clouds, creating a misty and hazy atmosphere.

Luan Xuan suddenly stopped and then launched an attack on the Earth Spirit Temple Master.

The two clashed again, and the intense noise attracted Huang Shigong's attention. For the first time, he directly experienced the domineering and ferocious power of the Earth Spirit Master's ultimate earth element.

The Earth Spirit's Dao principles have indeed made a breakthrough, becoming several times stronger than when his physical body was still intact. No wonder he was able to slay the Black Vulture.

This strengthened Huang Shigong's resolve to save Tu Ling, and he immediately sped up and rushed over.

As he sprinted, he shouted to the Earth Spirit Temple Master:

"Tu Ling, let's go back to the Xuanhuang Domain first. Luan Xuan will have plenty of opportunities to kill us!"

He keenly sensed something amiss in that area of ​​airspace, a vague feeling that something was lurking behind the sky. Who else but Jin Peng could give him this feeling?

Li Wushou, in his guise as the Earth Spirit Abbot, relentlessly attacked while suppressing the exhausted Luan Xuan. Upon hearing Huang Shigong's call, he replied directly:
"Lord Jing, I will be able to kill him soon. This time I will prove that Xuanhuang is no weaker than Yanwu!"

Having said that, it launched an even more ferocious attack, its terrifying force slamming into Luan Xuan, tearing his skin and flesh apart, and even causing the spirit of the Luan bird to have its azure-gold feathers fly wildly.

"you!"

Huang Shigong was furious, but he couldn't bring himself to reprimand him!

With a burst of energy, the Earth Spirit Temple Master forced Luan Xuan to retreat continuously until he stood firmly in the air above Maple Valley.

Luan Xuan concentrated his energy, and chaotic Daoist energy rose up. His eyes revealed murderous intent as he thrust his spear straight at the massive primordial spirit dharma image of the Earth Spirit Temple Master.

Seeing this, the Earth Spirit Temple Master revealed his fierce nature and roared:
"Trying to scam me? Go to hell!"

Huang Shigong's expression changed drastically when they were still dozens of miles apart. He could sense that Luanxuan was indeed weak, but the chaotic Daoist aura was also real.

It was too late to interrupt the Earth Spirit Master's charge.

"laugh!"

The spear pierced through his chest, and the image of the Earth Spirit Temple Master rippled with waves.

The Earth Spirit Abbot's face showed astonishment, seemingly shocked that Luan Xuan was able to unleash such a powerful attack.

Immediately afterwards, the intense pain drove the Earth Spirit Abbot to the brink of madness.

With a roar to the sky, the Earth Spirit Abbot charged directly at the weakened Luan Xuan.

This resolute determination moved even Huang Shigong.

"Earth Spirit!"

Luan Xuan stared at the charging Earth Spirit Temple Master, his expression unchanged.

As his final moments approached, Luanxuan murmured softly:

"If Elder Zuo doesn't make a move soon, Luan Xuan will probably die here. Judging from the current situation, he'll likely be reduced to ashes."

After speaking, Luan Xuan did not dodge, but simply looked at the Earth Spirit Temple Master with an expression of indifference to life and death.

The Earth Spirit Temple Master's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and a look of satisfaction at having avenged his great enemy appeared on his lips.

Just as the Earth Spirit Abbot was about to smash Luan Xuan into a pulp with his claw, a golden light suddenly flashed in the void in front of his claw, and the void was cut open like a curtain.

Then a golden claw gripped the Earth Spirit Temple Master's palm and pulled him sharply.

The massive body of the Earth Spirit Temple Master was instantly pulled into the void.

At the same time, a golden boat appeared beneath Luan Xuan's feet and sailed into the void.

When Huang Shigong arrived above Maple Valley as quickly as he could, he was still a step too late.

As his primordial spirit ventured deep into the void, Jinpeng, along with the Earth Spirit Abbot and Luanxuan, had already vanished without a trace.

The void is boundless, and even he can only briefly venture into it, let alone search for anything.

In his rage, Huang Shigong slammed down with his palm, leveling the entire valley, but it was all in vain.

With the time for a cup of tea approaching, Huang Shigong had no choice but to set off and return.

All that remained behind was a desolate Maple Valley, its surface rippling with mist.

Deep in the void
On a floating fragment of a sacred land.

Golden light rippled as Jinpeng stood stroking his beard, with Luanxuan standing behind him, gazing into the four directions of the void.

As far as the eye could see, there was only a gray haze, but above the Golden Roc's head, a vast divine palace and celestial phantom appeared and disappeared, resisting the invasion of the void storm.

Jinpeng's cultivation of Daoist principles was indeed profound; his divine palace and its surroundings were even able to briefly appear in the void.

This is already at the level of a partial Venerable One!

With a loud crash, the massive body of the Earth Spirit Temple Master in front of the two crashed onto the ground.

Jin Peng looked at the Earth Spirit Temple Master with a smile, somewhat surprised.

He had been observing in the void for a long time.

On one hand, he wanted to see the limits of Luanxuan's combat power so that he could control Luanxuan and prevent him from becoming a real threat without anyone noticing.

On the other hand, the Earth Spirit Temple Master was in a frenzy, worried that the other party's self-destruction would cause him trauma.

Unexpectedly, the earth spirit withstood Luan Xuan's Daoist aura attack, directly forcing Luan Xuan into a desperate situation.

This was the result of his prior agreement with Luanxuan to ambush and hide in Maple Valley, which prevented Luanxuan from retreating and fighting the Earth Spirit head-on.

But it still surprised Jin Peng!

Looking at Tu Ling struggling to stand up, panting like a bellows.

Jin Peng shook his head slightly and sighed softly:

"Pity!"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Jin Peng's sigh, the Earth Spirit Abbot, who had stood up, grinned and sighed as well:

“What a pity indeed!”
