Shulong Daojun

After thinking it over, he decided to observe quietly.

The surrounding immortals had not yet left, so he could not be the first to set off, lest he be exposed.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from nowhere: "Fellow Daoists, aren't you going to make a move?"

Lin Shu's heart immediately tightened: "Is there still a chance?"

He remained silent, waiting to hear what the speaker would say.

Shouzheng and his men were also on high alert.

But after a while, nothing happened, only the mournful cry of the muddy whale grew lower and more intermittent.

He was clearly about to die.

Suddenly, a melodious, sobbing voice rang out: "You Taoist sects are going too far in bullying us."

Yesterday they forced us to leave our homes, and today they harmed my compatriots. What about tomorrow?

"I might as well summon my brothers now and devour all the people here. After we've eaten our fill, we'll fight you to the death."

Having said that, she gave a cold snort, and a malevolent aura burst forth from her body, ready to strike.

But before long, a rough voice suddenly cursed: "You despicable human cultivator, you actually disguised yourself as one of us!"

What territory do you rule? Who is your elder brother? Do you know what human flesh tastes like?

He then sneered repeatedly, spat, and continued, "Hypocritical bastard!"

A gentle voice, laced with a smile rather than anger, said, "You speak with such a human accent, are you human or a demon?"

A rough voice chuckled, "Are you a man or a woman?"

After he finished speaking, there was no more sound, and the surrounding area returned to calm.

Is this just a bluff? Lin Shu had a doubt in his heart, but he continued to remain still.

These people who spoke out were all testing each other; their identities and genders were a mix of truth and falsehood, and it was impossible to know for sure.

But it's clear there's an intention to shift the blame elsewhere.

They've come with ill intentions.

Shouzheng and the others also noticed this. The three of them exchanged glances, and a hint of solemnity flashed in their eyes.

They then sensed the aura of the turbid whale and each cast a spell in their hands.

At this rate, he would die within ten breaths.

If anyone tries to interfere, just one person can hold them off for four breaths and completely eliminate this great demon.

In the blink of an eye, three breaths had passed.

Then, at the seventh breath—

A ray of brilliant golden light floated in the eastern sky, reflecting the faint clouds and turning them a shade of orange-red.

Shouzheng and the others suddenly realized: it was almost dawn.

But less than half a breath later, a sudden thought struck him: Something's not right! Why did this thought even arise?

The thought had just arisen, before it could settle, when another thought suddenly occurred to me: Oh no! How could I have started to doubt it for no reason?

In the blink of an eye, the mind relaxes.

At this moment, a loud laugh reached Shouzheng and the others' ears: "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist. My time is up, I'm leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person's life force vanished, and with a sway of his body, he escaped by using the earth's veins.

Shouzheng and the others also snapped out of their reverie.

He immediately activated his cultivation techniques to suppress his restless mind and looked at the turbid whale beside him.

But as soon as his gaze fell, he saw the beauty turn around and look at him.

Her figure was voluptuous, her waist slender, and her half-smiling, half-revealed smile made the sunlight seem to fall suddenly, and her lovely face remained in people's hearts.

Shouzheng and the others were taken aback and stammered for a moment.

"Hahaha, fellow Daoists, the green-tiled and red-roofed buildings are indeed a good place. You should go there someday and listen to the sound of the pipa."

In the blink of an eye, I took it.

As the laughter subsided, the scene before them vanished abruptly, and the beautiful woman transformed into a pink skeleton, returning to illusion.

One act ends, another begins.

One person after another spoke, each with different and unpredictable methods, all using techniques to trap people, all trying to "borrow" half a breath or a breath of time.

This process was repeated, and seven breaths had passed.

By the time Shouzheng came to his senses, the long scroll in the hands of the tall Taoist beside him had vanished, and Zhuojing's injuries had improved somewhat.

He felt a sense of foreboding: This is bad.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and began to use his magic to try to make amends.

But at that moment, the void suddenly opened, and the hidden land returned.

Immediately afterwards, a loud shout rang out:

"Due to our status, we fear the sect will pursue us, so we cannot intervene directly. This is all we can do to help you."

"Now that the Taoist's troublesome spell has been broken, if you wish to survive, hurry to the southeast, where my sect's elders will assist you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person who spoke rolled up his sleeve, and the brilliant golden light instantly disappeared into his sleeve.

He then rode the clouds and fled in a flash. Within half a breath, his figure had disappeared into the night.

It turns out that the daylight just now was a lie; it was still night.

The turbid whale narrowly escaped death, and nearly half of the barnacle demons on its body were removed, allowing it to regain some of its sanity.

Immediately, demonic power surged forth, transforming into turbid waves that enveloped him.

Then, with a flick of its tail fin, it used the recreated land to create muddy waves as cover, and quickly fled in a southeast direction.

Even before it was injured, it was no match for Shouzheng and the others, let alone now that it was seriously injured.

From the southeast, Lin Shu saw a giant whale rapidly approaching and felt a sense of bewilderment.

When did he become a "senior in the field"? And which field?

Upon further thought, he immediately changed his mind and signaled Zhuyin to dive into a nearby ley line fissure and escape with all his might.

They followed the branches of the earth's veins, taking many forks and bends, without stopping.

The approach of the turbid whale was exactly what Lin Shu wanted, as it would benefit Zhu Yin's lurking presence on him.

But certainly not at this moment.

This is because he was still riding on the back of the candle!

If Zhuyin transforms into the form of a barnacle demon, losing the cover of the turbid currents of the earth veins it has transformed into, it will be detected by the three Daoist earth immortals, Shouzheng and others, as soon as it appears.

That would be terrible.

But there's another problem.

Zhuyin's spiritual journey is insufficient; he has not yet transformed into a dragon. He only possesses the aura of an Earth Immortal by borrowing the spiritual light bestowed upon him by his master.

Before it manifests, it can still handle the investigations of earth immortals.

But if a celestial being gets close and becomes suspicious, and investigates carefully, then the deception will be exposed.

"...Hopefully, we can make it in time."

Sensing the increasingly terrifying aura closing in from behind, Lin Shu wiped his forehead, his heart growing more and more tense.

Zhuyin's speed of disappearing through the earth's veins is naturally not as fast as that of Zhuojing.

There are only two reasons for this: the distance between them was very far, and the turbid flow of the earth veins they transformed into was flexible enough.

Taking a detour through winding paths and causing the reckless whales to be blocked and thus delaying them for a while is still possible.

However, speed is ultimately a disadvantage.

Moreover, the muddy whale also has a tail fin, so even if changing course and turning around would make it less dangerous than the candle yin, it wouldn't be much worse.

boom--

As Zhuyin abruptly turned into a different place, the turbid whale that followed crashed into a ley line. Lin Shu's heart tightened, knowing that he could no longer hold out.

After a moment's thought, he instructed Zhuyin to throw himself out at the next bend, then change his form and act according to the situation.

Before long, they arrived.

Just as the turbid whale swung its tail fin, Lin Shu had a sudden thought and used divine light to protect his body.

Zhuyin instantly understood, its form transforming into a dragon's body. Its thick tail suddenly whipped him up, and without discerning the direction, it lashed out, hurtling towards a certain spot at high speed.

next moment.

The Candle Dragon's eyes scanned the surroundings, taking in the situation. With a leap, it plummeted downwards.

Then, in mid-air, its form suddenly changed, transforming into a barnacle demon as it fell to the ground.

A few breaths later, the turbid whale followed that aura, its body surged forward, and it crashed to the ground.

Zhuyin waited patiently, and when it sensed a turbid wave approaching, Jiaotong was overjoyed and followed it down.

Using the momentum of the fall and the waves, it was firmly pressed onto the muddy whale.
