Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 655 Seemingly Calm
The huge shadow disappeared under the moonlight, and the wind and waves subsided.

Only Donghai Tiandi knows what just happened.

He held the jellyfish sword pellet in his hand, the scales still clinging to it, and looked at it twice in the moonlight.

Its color is like the deep blue of the ocean, shimmering and radiant, just like the moonlight just beginning to bloom in the night sky, scattering a vast expanse of crystal-clear light; its shape is like a jellyfish pearl, lustrous and translucent, as if it were a rare treasure from the deep sea, condensing the essence of the four seas, with a faint light surging as it swims, making it even more mysterious and unpredictable in its agility.

"Seven Cultivators of Shu Mountain." She lightly twirled the sword pellet, its blue light, like the vast ocean, reflecting on her snow-white skin. The sword pellet suddenly trembled, its inner spiritual energy like a water snake being pinched at its vital point, not daring to reveal even the slightest trace of its attribute that specifically countered the Five Poisons.

"Boring."

With a flick of her wrist, the sword pellet transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the void.

The woman in the white dress raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of Qiantang River. As the dark patterns on her skirt became visible, her figure vanished like smoke.

the other side.

Qingbo Gate, the backyard of the Bai residence.

Xu Xuan was sitting cross-legged by the lotus pond, his hands forming a hand seal, drawing on the moonlight to cleanse the realgar energy within Xiao Qing's body.

"Ouch...it hurts!" Little Green rolled over, its tail slapping the water's surface, splashing water everywhere.

"Bear with it," Xu Xuan said helplessly. "It's your bad luck that you had to run into Baoantang's realgar powder, which is too effective."

The clinic's reputation in Jiangnan is largely due to its medical skills and medicinal herbs. This time, the little monster has truly been ruined by his own business.

"The store must have cleared out its stock of medicines this time and made a lot of money, right?" Xiaoqing said through gritted teeth, her heart filled with resentment towards the realgar powder.

Xu Xuan chuckled twice, and the several prominent families who paid the bill were quite generous.

After all, a small disturbance is still a disturbance, and they were frightened after witnessing the rampage of the Five Poisons.

So I bought the Super VIP package offered by Baoantang, which even included some other slow-selling medicinal herbs, mainly targeting people who were just trying to rip them off.

The two were chatting casually when suddenly, Xu Xuan's eyes sharpened, and he looked up sharply into the sky. In his spiritual sense, a chill swept across from above, an aura that seemed to emanate from the deepest abyss of the sea—cold, sinister, and sending shivers down his spine.

"Clap!"

A deep blue bead fell from the sky and landed precisely on the bluestone slab by the pool, rolling twice before slowly coming to a stop.

Xu Xuan was taken aback and subconsciously reached out to pick it up. The bead was cool to the touch, felt like jade, and seemed to have water flowing inside, as if it contained endless vitality and power.

"Jellyfish Sword?" Xu Xuan looked at the bead in his hand, his heart filled with doubt.

Just then, a clear, cold voice suddenly reached his ears. The voice seemed to come from a distant void, yet it entered his ears clearly—

"The distraction caused by the long eyebrows has been eliminated; continue in seclusion."

His tone was indifferent and flat, as if he were merely stating a trivial matter.

Xu Xuan blinked, then was overjoyed, secretly marveling, "A true powerhouse indeed!"

When he sensed that things wouldn't end so simply, he went to West Lake, not to try and pass through the gates, but to drop a message down there.

He was originally just trying his luck; if he could see it, he would ask the Empress to help; if he couldn't, he would let Changmei off the hook.

Who knew it would be so swift and decisive? As soon as the Dragon Boat Festival was over, Lady White Snake beat the old scoundrel to death and even stole a jellyfish sword pellet.

"Amazing!" Xu Xuan exclaimed.

But... why is his tone so cold? What kind of thing did he cultivate in seclusion? He stroked the jellyfish sword's tip, lost in thought.

For every person who is happy, there is someone who is sad.

At this moment, in the Little Star Sea, the blood pool churned, and hot air rose up, as if it were a purgatory.

The original Long-Browed One sat upright in the center of the blood pool, his eyes tightly closed. Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, and the last fragment of his divine memory in the Haotian Mirror surged in like a tide.

Despite obtaining a considerable amount of intelligence, almost all of it was bad news, along with a large amount of uncertain information.

The enemy's fog cleared a little, only to reveal an even deeper layer of fog.

This made his originally calm expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

Moreover, the record of being defeated twice is indeed quite ugly. After many years of being undefeated, he lost one, two, three, or four times in one go. This is not a good omen.

Just then, Deng Yin approached and asked expectantly, "Senior brother, how did it go? You're sure to succeed when you take action."

He sighed again, realizing his teammates were truly indescribable. Before practicing the Blood Nerve Technique, Deng Yin was quite a clever young man; how could he be so stupid now?

The flaws in demonic cultivation techniques are too great, and there are too many loopholes in the mind.

The results of cultivating the "Purple Clarity Treasure Seal" for a hundred years were shattered in one day, and all the spiritual energy was worn away, allowing the turbid energy to enter the soul, causing emotions and thoughts to fluctuate constantly.

Improving one's cultivation level is a shortcut, but it represents a significant regression in terms of one's overall realm.

If junior brother can protect his mind with the mental techniques of Guangcheng Tianzun while peeling off his skin without any disturbance, and then use demonic fire to needle his physical body and soul together for 365 days, thus cultivating a blood god child without any bloody smell, then he can be considered to have embarked on the right path.

Unfortunately, not everyone has this talent, and this is already the limit for my junior.

In short, we must never let him fight Xu Xuan alone in the war. The Buddhist sect is good at attacking the mind, and after he becomes a demon, he is even more terrifying than the Blood Demon.

So, "Not bad, you didn't lose unjustly, junior brother." There was nothing else he could say but that.

I can't hurt his feelings when we're facing a formidable enemy, and besides, my junior brother's words show that he trusts me.

Moreover, the evil demon controlled by the restraints is a hungry wolf. If it shows even the slightest sign of failure, it will immediately generate more rebellious thoughts.

The demonic path is so disunited that it has always been suppressed, and even with the help of powerful forces, it still fails to make progress.

However, he did not intend to set foot in Jiangnan again before the final battle, as the small town of Qiantang was ten times more terrifying than the Black Hell of the Demonic Sect.

Long Eyebrows had realized a terrible truth.

Although some people timely adapted to the changes in the natural order and withdrew from the righteous path, others started on the demonic path from the very beginning, which was even more in line with the changing fortunes of the heavens.

As the founder of a sect, his insight was naturally extremely sharp, and he had a thorough understanding of the demonic path.

Each of her three meetings with Xu Xuan allowed her to peel away his disguise layer by layer, bringing her closer to the truth.

He could tell that this junior was hiding a secret even more powerful than the combined Buddhist and demonic cultivation.

With all sorts of karmic consequences upon him, including the expectations of Heaven, the strange aura of the mortal world, and the unimaginably scorching demonic energy, he was able to stir up any karmic threads that came near.

Any magical methods or strange tricks are likely to fail when facing this monster.

We must crush them with overwhelming force outside of Qiantang to have any chance of winning.
