Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 272 Master and Disciple Kill Each Other, Yet Missions Are Not Fulfilled
Inside the underground palace, before Fang Shu could react, screams rang out:
"You wicked woman! You have such a cruel heart."

"Young friend, you must not listen to this wicked woman, and absolutely must not lend her a hand."

The voice came from inside the belly of the Dragon Maiden Immortal; it was the old ancestor of the Na'er family speaking.

This thug spoke very quickly:
"This wicked woman wants to extract your yang essence and create a flesh and blood embryo within her womb, so that she can refine me and the Blood Lotus Seed into it, using the tangible to control the intangible. In this way, she will not only escape the crisis but also be able to refine this flesh and blood embryo!"

Although Fang Shu had already guessed that this was her intention from the request of the Dragon Maiden Immortal, he was still momentarily horrified when he heard the Er family patriarch explain so clearly that it was both about giving birth to a fetus and refining a fetus.

At this moment, the Dragon Maiden groaned a few times and shouted in a low voice, "Shut up!"

Then the woman raised her face, looked at Fang Shu, and said casually:
"Shu'er, this old man is trying to sow discord between us, master and disciple. Since you became my disciple, I have never mistreated you. Are you unwilling to even give me this little bit of yang essence, unwilling to save me this time?"

Her words had barely faded when the old patriarch of the Na'er family shouted again:

"Young friend, if you believe her, then you're the one who's believing nonsense!"

The Dragon Maiden's expression changed slightly, and she immediately used the remaining true energy in her body to try to suppress the soul of the Er family's ancestor and shut him up.

However, despite the swirling and writhing true energy around her, she failed to succeed, and even allowed the old ghost's true energy to be exposed, condensing into a blurry face.

The patriarch of the Er family looked at Fang Shu and suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"Wait a minute, young friend, you're a virgin too! As far as I know, you deflowered Dai Yuan and are now the son-in-law of the Er family. Could it be that you've practiced a virgin-locking technique?"

If that's the case, once you give him yang essence, your cultivation technique will be ruined, and all your previous efforts will be wasted.

Furthermore, mortals take ten months to conceive, while immortals take even longer. If one wants to accelerate the maturation of a fetus and achieve immediate results, it is necessary to continuously deplete the vital essence between the man and woman.

In other words, you must have a proper sexual encounter with this dragon maiden, at least to ensure the fetus is formed; you can't just give her your semen and call it a day. Do you really dare to do that?"

After the other person finished speaking, Fang Shu's expression changed noticeably, clearly indicating that the other person had hit a nerve.

It should be understood that the cultivation method he practices requires that one's primordial yang be locked up before foundation building, and that not a single bit be lost or defiled by others. Otherwise, not only will the effectiveness of the cultivation method be completely wasted and unable to help with foundation building, but one's entire cultivation may even be used to benefit others.

In particular, the Dragon Maiden Immortal was not only his master who taught him this method, but also knew all the details of the cultivation technique he practiced. Moreover, the person's cultivation level was at the Foundation Establishment stage.

If Fang Shu were to engage in sexual relations with her, it would not only be a case of a small horse pulling a heavy cart, a thankless task, but it would also be very likely like a lamb entering a tiger's den, where the other party could devour him whole.

"shut up!"

The Dragon Maiden noticed Fang Shu's unusual behavior, and her expression finally changed. She shouted sharply:

"Old man, do you think everyone is as ruthless as you, using their own family members as a furnace?"
Furthermore, if I were to give birth to a child, I would raise it carefully and nurture it to adulthood.

She looked at Fang Shu and then said softly:

"Shu'er, trust me. You have Yuan Yang, and I have Yuan Yin. Even if you lose Yuan Yang this time, with my Yuan Yin to help you, you can still maintain your chance to establish your foundation, and you will likely gain even more."

"Hahaha! Raising to adulthood?"

The old patriarch of the Er family laughed loudly again:

"Even if we take a step back, you bastard, can you really resist refining the Holy Son today and give up the opportunity to repair your foundation and advance further?"

But when you are pregnant, your own vital energy and blood will gradually decline, and your cultivation will even be greatly damaged. Can you endure it for a hundred days or a thousand days?

You should know that your child has a profound foundation. If he is born, he will be born at the Qi Refining stage and will most likely have the legendary Heavenly Spiritual Root.

"Fellow Daoist Long, do you truly intend to give birth to it, without refining it or seizing its body?"

The whispers, like those of a demon, echoed through the underground palace, causing the Dragon Maiden's expression to shift unpredictably.

She tried to find various arguments to refute the other party, but in the end, what came out of her mouth was only to make Fang Shu believe her.

A heated exchange ensued in front of Fang Shu.

But as time passed, the voice of the Dragon Maiden grew weaker and weaker, and she closed her eyes tightly.

This is because Fang Shu did not express his opinion in the face of the two people's persuasion and efforts, which was actually a form of expression.

After a long silence, the Immortal Dragon Maiden closed her eyes and said in a weak voice:

"Shu'er, are you really going to make this choice and not help your teacher?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Shu felt a pang of pity and hesitated to speak.

In fact, before the old devil Erjia had even begun to bewitch him, he had already made a general decision in his mind.

This decision was made without needing any reminders from others; he himself was wary of the Dragon Maiden Immortal Family, and even suspected that they actually had a way to deal with the Naer Family Ancestor.

The reason I'm asking him to help me now is simply to use our friendship as a bond and his yin energy as bait, so that I can extract his yang energy and better help him repair himself.

A multitude of thoughts swirled in Fang Shu's mind. He sighed inwardly and abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to feign politeness with Long Gu and stalling for time.

He bowed respectfully to the Dragon Maiden Immortal and spoke aloud:
“Master, this is a chaotic order, and I will not obey it.”

Hearing her disciple's direct and uncompromising refusal, the Dragon Maiden Immortal's expression clearly faltered.

She scrutinized Fang Shu carefully, then a sneer appeared on her face as she muttered to herself:

"You have been my disciple for a short time. Although you have not been wronged, you have not received much of my favor."

"What a pity. If I had treated you well in the past, instead of letting you grow up unchecked, you wouldn't have dared to carry even the Gu worms I gave you with you, and I wouldn't have ended up like this."

Fang Shu had been respectful, but upon hearing the other person's words, he felt a chill run down his spine instead of being moved, and stared intently at the other person.

"He can sense whether the Gu worm is on me. This Dragon Master really did tamper with the Gu worm!" He felt a surge of relief, thankful that he had sent the Gu worm away early on.

Otherwise, with that Gu worm by his side, who knows what trouble it might cause.

Long Gu was being watched closely by Fang Shu, and she knew that this boy was unusually vigilant. The last bit of warmth between the two of them vanished.

Her smile faded, and she said calmly:

“Since you do not obey my laws, then don’t blame me for being heartless.”

Fang Shu, I'm determined to possess your primordial yang and essence.

go! "

The five-colored Gu worms suddenly flew out from the other party's sleeve.

Although Long Gu was constrained by the Blood Lock Array set up by the Er family patriarch and her internal energy was running out, she could still manipulate the Gu worms as long as they weren't all dead.

Seeing this, Fang Shu retreated several feet, flipped his hand, picked up the Hundred Gu Banner of the Dragon Spine, and waved it fiercely several times.

Clumps of Gu worms flew out from his hand, about to take shape on the spot to fight against the Gu worms under Long Gu's command.

Long Gu scrutinized her, her expression changing slightly, and said, "Using Gu as an array, and even more so than before."

It seems I, Long, have truly taken on a fine disciple. It's just a pity I was blind to have treated him well; otherwise, with my allies, how could your old devil have had the chance to act?"

A hint of melancholy flickered across her face.

But just as the two sides' Gu worms were restraining each other, and Fang Shu's Gu array was still a hair's breadth away from being completed, the Dragon Maiden suddenly shouted:
"My disciple Junliang, help me!"

"Senior Brother Hao!?" Fang Shu's eyelids twitched, greatly surprised.

He quickly looked to the left and right of the Dragon Maiden Fairy, especially to the sleeves of her robe, thinking that she might be hiding someone in her sleeve pocket.

But the next moment, a hissing sound rang out behind him, followed closely by Erdaiyuan's exclamation:
Watch out behind you!

Before these sounds could reach Fang Shu's ears, a thick, dark figure rushed to his front.

The other party opened its ferocious maw and bit down horizontally at his neck, intending to rip his head off.

Faced with such a sudden change, and with the opponent's movements being so swift, Fang Shu didn't even have time to turn his head, let alone cast a spell to defend himself.

Fortunately, there was a thud!
The menacing snake's mouth was blocked by the shackles and failed to land on Fang Shu.

With a soft rustling sound, the talisman hanging on Fang Shu's body came into effect, protecting its owner on its own.

A sudden burst of inspiration occurred at the scene, and Gu worms flew around wildly.

Fang Shu's own Gu worms, Long Gu's Gu worms, and Er Daiyuan's magical attacks were all in disarray around him.

He seized the opportunity, leaped away without looking back, and landed on a stone pillar some distance away.

Once he regained his footing, Fang Shu, still shaken, clutched his chest. Learning from Luan Tong'er's mistake, he quickly pulled out an ounce of mid-grade spirit stones to replenish his true energy, lest he run out of spirit stones later. After calming himself, he looked again at the giant snake that had attacked him, muttering to himself:
"Senior Brother Hao...?"

He was filled with suspicion, thinking that Long Gu knew he had a good relationship with Hao Junliang and was deliberately making a bluff.

As a result, the giant snake coiled on the stone pillar, as if it had heard Fang Shu's words. Its mouth opened and closed, and a human head was revealed from it.

The monster with a human head and a snake's body opened its eyes, looked at Fang Shu from afar, and nodded in acknowledgment:
"Junior Brother Fang, it's been a long time."

That person was none other than Hao Junliang!
Fang Shu stared intently at the other person for a long time before speaking in a deep voice:
"Senior brother, what is this...?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Junliang wore a weak smile, realizing that Fang Shu was asking him why he was in this state and why he had tried to kill him.

"None of that matters anymore." Hao Junliang shook his head.

Then, with great difficulty, the person writhed their charred snake body, faced the imprisoned Dragon Maiden Immortal, and kowtowed on the stone pillar:
"Master... Your unfilial disciple will take his leave first."

As soon as he said this, the snake under Hao Junliang's neck suddenly loosened, and his head tilted back as he slowly slid into the bloody water of the underground palace.

A sizzling sound of flesh and blood dissolving rang out, indicating that the enormous snake body could no longer hide in the blood and had been worn down and refined.

Without this person interfering, the Gu worms around Fang Shu successfully closed up, setting up the Three Talents and Four Gu Formation.

But he did not act immediately. Instead, he frowned and looked at the spot where Hao Junliang had fallen into the blood.

The Dragon Maiden Immortal did not make a move at this moment, but also looked down and remained silent.

The master and apprentice remained silent, while Er Daiyuan, standing to the side, was filled with astonishment and uncertainty, barely daring to breathe.

On the contrary, within Long Gu's body, the soul of the Er family patriarch, who had been observing coldly, couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Good heavens, you actually turned your own disciple into a snake!"
No wonder these three disciples of yours have all betrayed you. Fellow Daoist Long, you've truly failed.

The gloating tone practically emanated from Lao Gui's words.

The usually aloof Long Gu Xianjia, upon being spoken to in this manner, had a complex expression on her face, as if her emotions were churning.

But when she looked down and saw the bloodstains on her body, especially her increasingly withered skin, she closed her eyes and refused to open them again, suppressing all distracting thoughts.

Buzzing!
The five-colored Gu worms surrounding Fang Shu suddenly rose up again, sweeping towards him and attacking him.

However, Fang Shu had already successfully set up the Three Talents and Four Gu Formation. With the help of the formation and being in the secret realm, Long Gu's Gu worms were restricted. For a time, he fought Long Gu to a standstill and did not fall behind much.

In particular, when Erdaiyuan also leaped out and pounded the drum at her waist, she promptly provided assistance with her foundation-building artifact.

The two worked together and, after some effort, successfully dispersed the hordes of Gu worms, rushing straight to the Dragon Maiden's house.

At this moment, Long Gu opened her eyes again.

Her expression changed, and she opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

But what responded to her in advance was a yellow phantom that appeared in front of her in a flash and nimbly entered her body, leaving her unable to react.

By the time the nail-headed arrow was drilled out again, the internal organs of the Dragon Maiden Fairy were already rotten.

Her body trembled, and her true energy was completely lost. If she hadn't been bound by the blood-red chains, she would have collapsed to the ground.

Her appearance deteriorated rapidly. Her once youthful face turned ashen, like a piece of white paper burning, until she looked like an old woman, with only her eyes remaining bright.

A sigh finally escaped from his lips:

"They are all good disciples..."

Once this energy was released, the Dragon Maiden's eyes dimmed, and she breathed her last.

Immediately, the five-colored Gu worms that were fluttering around fell down like rain, and the blood-red chains that were wrapped around her body broke inch by inch.

Their remains scattered like ashes, clearly indicating their demise.

Looking at the scene before him, Fang Shu felt a slight sense of relief, but his expression was also filled with melancholy.

But just then, a loud laugh rang out above the ashes of the Dragon Maiden Immortal:

"Excellent! He truly lives up to his reputation as the son-in-law of the Er family."

After the ashes dissipated, a crimson blood mist was suspended in place, its shape writhing and forming a hideous yet blurry infant shape.

And the baby's face was exactly like that of the patriarch of the Nar family.

It seemed to have absorbed the essence and blood of the Dragon Maiden Immortal, which made its color even more intense.

Upon seeing this object, Fang Shu's expression turned cold and stern. He waved his hand and suppressed the Gu formation, coldly saying:

"Senior is too happy too soon. Now that my master is dead, how can he not be buried with him?"

You die too!

With a whoosh, the yellow nail swirled around and suddenly struck at the patriarch of the Er family.

Unexpectedly, the patriarch of the Er family did not dodge, but instead took the blow from the yellow nail, and laughed:
"Me, die? Of course I'm going to die."

This Blood Lotus Saint Son, after accumulating for many years in the secret realm, and then receiving blood sacrifices from hundreds of Qi Refining Immortals, now has two and a half Earth Immortals as sacrifices, making him a true treasure of heaven and earth.

Even if a pseudo-spiritual root immortal consumes it, they might be able to refine it into an earth-based spiritual root, or even a quasi-heaven-based spiritual root!

As it spoke, its laughter grew even more manic:
"Haha! But such a treasure can only be fully enjoyed by the bloodline of my Er family. For outsiders to consume it would be a waste of such a precious resource."

Young friend Fang, unless you are like your master, using my Er family's daughter as a mother, bestowing your essence upon her, nurturing a living fetus within her body, and then eating your own child.

Otherwise, you can only watch as my family's children enjoy such a precious treasure!

Suddenly, the beast changed its tone and raised its voice to shout:

"Er Daiyuan, the spiritual root of heaven and earth is right in front of you, why don't you make a move quickly?"

"Your ancestor will help you kill this brat!"

Upon hearing these words, Fang Shu merely raised his eyelids slightly, then glanced at Er Daiyuan beside him with a detached expression.

The underground palace was quiet.

After a dramatic change in her expression, Erdaiyuan took a deep breath and her gaze became resolute.

The woman spat out a mouthful of blood and then suddenly struck the drum in her hand.

Boom boom boom!
A pressure that threatened to equip one with the power of Foundation Establishment appeared in the arena, and the drumbeats were even more powerful than when they fought against the Dragon Maiden Gu worms.

However, it did not fall towards Fang Shu, but instead transformed into invisible nets, trapping the blood infant in which the Er family patriarch resided.

A series of screams rang out:

"Stop, stop...you spendthrift woman..."

Erdaiyuan didn't give her ancestor another chance to speak. She recklessly buried herself in the fight, and even though her face was pale and her life force was greatly depleted, she did not stop.

Only when the voice of the Er family patriarch finally faded away and the ferocious look on the blood infant's face disappeared, proving that the Er family patriarch had been completely destroyed, did she slowly stop casting the spell.

The woman swayed, collapsing against the stone pillar as if half-kneeling, and weakly yet respectfully greeted Fang Shu:
"This villain has been eliminated, Daiyuan... I have successfully completed my mission."

Before the blood-red infant, Fang Shu stared intently at the woman, pausing for a long time before slowly nodding.
