Fairy, help me cultivate.

!

Chen Yaoyang opened the talisman gate, and a yellow light like a lamplight burst forth, shattering the rotten hand and turning it into black smoke.

Each talisman has a pre-drilled opening. There are two methods for opening a talisman: a small opening and a large opening. A small opening takes effect slowly but for a long time, while a large opening is powerful and instantaneous.

After he shattered the bloodstains, he quickly jumped up and landed to the side.

But the wailing of ghosts had already reached them.

Jiang Bailian!

Chen Yao's heart tightened. With his sword in hand and his other middle finger extended, his entire body tensed as he warily stared at Jiang Bailian, who was wielding the black-purple pill.

Jiang Bailian had her back to him at this moment, but turned around and spoke to a small tree next to Chen Yao.

“Junior Brother Chen, I was worried about you coming out alone, so I followed you here. Halfway there, the Black Fiend Pill reacted. It turns out that the evil spirit was not in Jiulan Village, but in Xiaosang Village.”

"..."

Just then, the ground in front of the two made a soft, sticky sound, cracked open, and spurted out dark red blood.

A head popped out, grinning, with yellow and shriveled eyes, gapping yellow teeth, and a long, dark purple tongue sticking out.

"Kill the immortals! Kill the immortals!"

"I told you to get out, why didn't you leave!"

His head snapped and his expression sharp.

!

Chen Yao recognized the head as the one he and Jiang Bailian had seen behind the bushes that day, and cursed his bad luck, wondering why he had to come to Xiaosang Village!

Jiang Bailian did not hesitate. He summoned the Black Fiend Pill, and a loud ghostly wail rang out. Ghostly shadows appeared on the ground around his head.

His head and eyes showed a look of confusion.

Those ghostly figures seemed to be bewitching evil spirits.

With a flick of her slender fingers, she produced a pure white pill that emanated a faint aura. It flashed with white light and smashed towards her head.

The head's eyes widened in shock, and it roared with venom. Another head sprouted from the ground beside it, opened its mouth and swallowed the white light. With a "bang," a huge hole exploded in the back of its head.

Looking at another spot, the head that had been shouting about killing immortals was gone.

Jiang Bailian frowned, put away the faintly clear white pill, and held the black demon pill in her hand.

The sound of ghostly wailing came from due east.

"Over there."

She took a step to chase after him, but found that Chen Yao had not moved.

"Junior Brother Chen? You'd better come with me, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

Chen Yao was frantically thinking of excuses to break up when suddenly an idea struck him, and he pointed the middle finger at Jiang Bailian.

Jiang Bailian, unaware of what was going on, instinctively retreated.

Chen Yao imitated the head's movements, shaking his head and shouting "Kill the immortal!" as he ran down the mountain in the opposite direction.

Jiang Bailian was taken aback, realizing that the evil spirit had unknowingly corrupted Chen Yao's mind. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to address the root of the problem and turned to follow the sound of the ghostly wailing.

Chen Yao ran down the mountain in one breath, listened carefully, and found that the ghostly wailing had faded away. He thought to himself, "That was close."

He figured out the direction and soon arrived at the sycamore tree in the south of the village.

There is no one here.

The village was quiet, a stark contrast to what I had seen from the mountain.

Chen Yao was extremely worried and waited anxiously under the tree, glancing every now and then to see if Jiang Bailian had rushed out.

After a while, a cold voice rang out from right behind.

What are you feeling guilty about?

The sound was slow, but incredibly imposing.

The demonic mark on Chen Yao's back struggled violently.

His expression changed, and he turned around to see a corpse dressed in the robes of a fellow disciple, its eyes glazed over, but its lips were moving.

"I... am being tracked by my fellow disciples..."

He quickly recounted Jiang Bailian's story.

The corpse ignored him, its lips moving stiffly: "Where is Ling Ning's information?"

"Ling Ning's injuries are causing her body to fluctuate between hot and cold..."

The corpse didn't respond, nor did it reprimand anyone. After a while, it began to burrow into the ground.

When Chen Yao saw that he hadn't given her the Demon Blood Pill, she became anxious: "Where's the pill?"

The corpse sneered, "Kill that woman for me first, then I'll question you about your inadequate intelligence... Besides, you killed Dexiu, do you know how much you ruined my Demonic Sect's plans? You want the Demon Blood Pill? Heh, let's see how long your life lasts..."

Chen Yao felt a chill in his heart, and his expression became uncertain.

Only the head of the corpse remained above the ground, its dull gaze coldly staring at Chen Yao: "Having been marked with a demonic mark, you are now a dog of the demonic sect. I advise you not to have any wild thoughts and to follow me."

As the ground gradually covered the top of his head, Chen Yao clenched his hands tightly.

Following the sound of ghostly wails, he quickly found Jiang Bailian.

At this moment, Jiang Bailian was surrounded by mutilated corpses, all dressed in the attire of the Kuanglu Sect.

She was battling the evil spirit with various elixirs.

The evil spirits had completely emerged from the ground. Beneath the human heads were bloated bodies made up of countless villagers' and cattle's carcasses, emitting a stench so intense it made one want to vomit. But Jiang Bailian had already smashed most of them.

She tossed a pale blue pill over, which Chen Yao caught.

"Junior Brother Chen, are you alright?"

Chen Yao nodded.

Jiang Bailian explained to him, "This evil spirit nourishes itself by spreading plagues and nightmares, and it ate this plague-avoiding pill."

The evil spirit roared, and sure enough, a pale green miasma emanated from its bloated body.

Chen Yao floated in the air on his sword and put the plague-avoiding pill into his pocket.

The demonic mark on his shoulder struggled more violently, clearly because his contact was dissatisfied and wanted him to fight Jiang Bailian to the death immediately.

Chen Yao felt disgusted, and his hatred for the contact person soared to the sky.

He understood what his contact meant. He had no intention of letting himself live, and he was too lazy to dirty his hands, so he simply decided to become a expendable object and die at Jiang Bailian's hands.

Below, Jiang Bailian held a bright red pill in her mouth, her brows and eyes suddenly turned fierce, her whole body shimmered with red light, and two rugged fleshy horns sprouted from her forehead.

She breathed a mouthful of red mist at the evil spirit, which instantly melted away most of its body, screaming in agony.

A cyan pill flashed out and struck its forehead directly, completely shattering its head.

Just then, the corpse of the fellow disciple who had just met with Chen Yao emerged from the ground behind Jiang Bailian. He opened his mouth stiffly, and a swollen, purplish-black tongue, like a snake, shot out straight towards the back of the unsuspecting Jiang Bailian.

She ate the red pill, which greatly increased her strength, but her perception seemed to have dropped to a pitiful level. She clearly didn't notice the tongue that was about to blast her heart out.

Chapter Forty-Five: The Forced Slaughter of the Golden Core Contact Person

Just before her tongue touched Jiang Bailian's back, she belatedly tried to slide to the side, but the ground beneath her feet had turned into sticky, rotten flesh, sinking her high heels deep into it, making it impossible for her to pull them out for the time being.

In the sky, Chen Yao unleashed a sharp sword light towards her.

She opened her mouth in astonishment, her heart filled with despair.

As the sword flashed, the purple tongue split vertically in two, tearing straight into the corpse's mouth. The corpse's head was split in two, its brains splattering everywhere, and its body was blasted off the ground by the sword energy.

Chen Yao made up his mind, not to fight Jiang Bailian to the death, but to fight his contact to the death.

In the split second that the purple tongue was extended, the demonic mark between his brows surged, and then, as if struck by a flash of inspiration, he sensed the location where the contact was hiding.

So after he shattered the corpse with a single sword strike, he immediately wrapped the Golden Element Talisman around his middle finger and the Jade Sword, and then flashed toward the ancient tree. On the way, the Three Purple Fire Pythons slipped out of his sleeve and fell into the dense forest on the ground.

The sword flashed again, ancient trees crumbled, and the messenger's angry shout rang out.

A mass of corpses burst from the ground and swarmed towards Chen Yao like locusts.

It carried with it a large amount of pale green plague gas.

Helpless, Chen Yao could only take out the blue pill from his pocket and swallow it. At this point, Jiang Bailian at least wouldn't want to kill him, while the contact was genuinely intent on killing him.

He swept his sword energy across, severing the plague energy, and his figure shot out in the air like an arrow, relentlessly pursuing his contact.

On the ground, as the effects of the elixir wore off and Jiang Bailian regained her beauty, she finally came to her senses and stared blankly at the tragic corpse that had been split in two.

A few breaths later, she flew out of her flying boat, swallowed a pale yellow high-grade pill, and, holding two pale blue pills in her hands, crashed into Chen Yao and the contact person.

The contact was surprised that Chen Yao would dare to turn against him. He stimulated the demonic marks on Chen Yao's shoulder while commanding the densely packed corpses to dismember him.

Chen Yao was only at the Qi Refining stage. Although his physique was extraordinary, being at the second level of Body Refining and possessing the Vajra Body of Spirit Suppression, he was still covered in blood from the attacks and contamination by the densely packed corpses.

He had used up all the Yang energy talismans he had, and under these circumstances, only the metal element talisman on his middle finger and the jade sword would be effective.

Gold-type talismans cannot be stacked...

He unleashed his sword energy once more, breaking free from the dense mass of corpses. He quickly swallowed two Qi-restoring pills to rapidly replenish his spiritual energy before flying into the sky.

The contact sneered: "A dog that bites back at its master, the master will stew you for soup!"

The four corpses suddenly tore open, their skin splitting in two, and the pieces of human skin on their backs flew towards Chen Yao like bloody wings.

It was incredibly fast.

Amidst the struggle with the corpses, Chen Yao only had time to unleash his sword energy, leaving him no time to use the Six Ding Mountain-Opening Technique or the Panlong Seal from his storage bag.

The young snake was too young to fly, and the poisonous fire was not very effective against such a large number of corpses.

The contact chuckled and mocked, "These are just ordinary zombies. You can't even fight back. What makes you think you have the guts to fight me?"

Four more flying corpses rushed towards Chen Yao.

Chen Yao unleashed his sword energy, eliminating two of them, but was then struck by the remaining six.

He swayed precariously, the wind pressure behind him was intense, and a ghastly blue light exploded, shattering the four corpses into dust. The light actually increased, directly enveloping the horde of corpses surging up below like a tornado.
