"Even when he was seriously injured and dying, he still cast a mysterious spell and fled the scene without stopping."
"I guess this person must have been quite powerful when he was alive. He is very likely to be at the same level as the Great Immortal Master."
"If that's the case, even if he is seriously injured now, it would still be easy for him to destroy two of our junior cultivators in the Jindan stage."
"For just two bottles of poisonous dragon pills, I don't want to joke with my life!"
"And I think the reason why those high-level immortal masters asked us to look for this person is probably because they think we are abandoned."
"Didn't they cast a soul-calling spell on each of us before we set off?"
"In fact, they just want us to create some noise in this way to attract the other party's attention."
"When we meet with misfortune, they will be able to follow the traces and track down this foreigner."
The elegant beauty spoke slowly with a gloomy look.
"Oh! Such a thing actually happened. They actually used us as cannon fodder? What on earth should we do?"
After hearing the beautiful woman's explanation, the middle-aged man couldn't help but gasp, his heart burning with anger.
"The solution is actually very simple. Since we have already searched once, there is no need to conduct a more detailed investigation."
“This way, we can complete the task without taking too much risk.”
"We just need to wait patiently to see if other cultivators can find this person somewhere else. If they catch him somewhere else, it would undoubtedly be the best scenario."
"If there is no news, there is nothing to worry about."
"After all, the Spirit Opening Day is approaching, and all immortal masters need to go to the Sacred Temple to offer sacrifices."
"When that time comes, we will naturally be called back there."
The beauty seemed to have thought about this question carefully and answered without hesitation.
"Then do as Master Xiuxian said."
"Although the Poison Dragon Pill is quite precious, I still value my life more. Thank you again for your reminder."
After weighing the pros and cons, the middle-aged man made a decisive decision and expressed his approval without hesitation.
"Very good! In that case, we might as well go to the temple station over there to rest for a while."
"In the near future, a large number of tribute teams from various tribes will gather there."
"Maybe we can find what we need there in advance!"
"Then, in the next few days, we will just have to do a symbolic search around."
The beauty smiled and calmly offered her suggestion.
The male cultivators did not express any objection to this plan.
Afterwards, the brother and sister regained their spirits and gently waved the magical weapons in their hands.
It transformed into two dazzling rays of light, one red and one white, which shot straight into the sky, rushed towards the south, and disappeared into the vast sky.
In a tightly closed and suffocating secret room, a bluestone altar several meters high stands.
Surrounding it were more than ten colorful flags, forming a temporary magic circle that flickered with a faint spiritual light.
On the altar, there is a round emerald green bowl shaped like a Dharma plate, with green steam constantly rising from its surface.
A baby with a blurry body shape can be vaguely seen sitting in the middle, breathing out mist, as if practicing some mysterious skill.
In the four corners of the secret room, there stood an old man over 70 years old with white hair. They held a green Dharma flag in their hands and sat cross-legged.
All these Dharma flags pointed precisely towards the round bowl in the center.
Thin streams of green mist emanated from the tip of the flag and drifted towards the round bowl in the middle.
The whole picture is like a still painting, silent and extremely strange.
Time passed by unknowingly, and the faces of the four old men gradually showed signs of fatigue. However, after experiencing this period of time, the figure of the baby in the green mist seemed to become gradually clearer.
"That's all for today. Thank you again for all your hard work."
"As long as you wait for a few days, Junior Brother Gui will surely be able to recover on his own. I am truly grateful."
A red-haired old man in the northwest corner of the secret room stood up with the Dharma flag in his hand, and respectfully saluted to express his gratitude to the other three people.
"Hahaha! Brother Hun, there's no need to be so polite. We have known Master Gui for a long time, so it's only natural for us to lend him a helping hand."
The other three old men followed suit and put away the flags. One of them, a white-faced old man with a slender beard, also quickly responded with a salute.
"No matter what, my junior brother and I will always remember this kindness in our hearts and never forget it."
The old man who stood up first looked gently at the baby who was still sitting cross-legged practicing, and promised in a firm tone.
"Haha, fellow Taoists, there's no need to be so polite!"
Another old man also responded with a smile on his face.
"By the way, the four of us are in this secret room, fully assisting Master Gui in repairing his Nascent Soul body, but I wonder if that foreigner has any clues."
"It is really unbelievable that there is someone in the world who can control tens of thousands of gold-eating bugs. It is simply unbelievable."
"We all know how difficult it is for gold-eating insects to lay eggs. I arrived late and was unable to participate in the battle to capture that foreigner."
"The strength of that foreigner is so strong that it is really frightening. Three Nascent Soul-level immortal masters unfortunately died."
The red-haired old man asked with a solemn expression and a heavy tone.
Hearing this, the other three old men exchanged glances with deep fear on their faces.
"The strength of that foreigner is far beyond what words can describe."
"This person is not only able to control the gold-eating bugs, but is also good at casting purple flames and releasing golden lightning."
"Among the first few immortal masters who tried to stop him, two were injured and one died in just one encounter."
"This is probably the result of these two techniques."
"Golden lightning can bind the Nascent Soul of a cultivator, while purple flames can easily burn it."
"Although the other immortal masters who arrived later were on high alert, two of them were still unable to resist and were killed."
The white-faced old man sighed and spoke with deep emotion.
"What's even more shocking is that the magic weapon controlled by this foreigner is extremely powerful."
"It is a set of unique flying swords made of gold and blue. There are as many as sixty or seventy of them. Their sharpness is breathtaking."
"Many of my colleagues' magic weapons were instantly broken into two pieces after colliding with it." "Even more bizarrely, the pair of magic weapons behind him that look like wings can directly perform the mysterious power of lightning teleportation without any words or spells."
"Several of us have tried to track its movements, but have never been successful."
"To be frank, six or seven fellow Taoists of equal strength to us besieged this man that day. Although we tried our best, we were still defeated miserably. It was extremely dangerous."
"We all had the idea of retreating, but fortunately, Immortal Master Hu arrived at the battlefield in time and used the 'Great Five Elements Immortal Capture Hand' to unexpectedly deal a heavy blow to the opponent, injuring his muscles and bones."
“However, when the foreigner was injured, although he had been severely wounded, he still turned into a bloody shadow.”
"He broke through the encirclement in an instant and disappeared without a trace. Even though we used our spiritual sense to search for a long time, we were unable to find any trace of him."
"It was not until the Great Immortal Master revealed that the other party had escaped hundreds of miles away that we finally understood the reason."
"Unfortunately, there is not enough time left to hunt down the foreigner."
A slightly plump old man spoke these words half-narrating and half-recalling, with a hint of fear on his face.
"The strength of this foreigner is really too strong. Could he be a high-level cultivator from Dajin, like the core cultivators in public?"
"No wonder Junior Brother Gui, even though he is proficient in the 'Six Souls Division Technique', still cannot escape such a fate."
Hearing this, the red-haired old man's originally gentle face began to become solemn.
"Brother Gui, don't worry too much. You should understand the power of the 'Great Five Elements Immortal Capture Hand'."
"Even if that foreigner managed to escape from here, this attack at least damaged most of his cultivation."
"He should no longer be a threat now. Besides, the Saint is accompanying the distinguished guests from Dajin to the nearby Tianlan Temple to preside over the opening ceremony of the spirit."
"If that foreigner is indeed a Dajin practitioner, then I believe the guests should be able to master such mysterious and strange magical powers."
"After knowing the true identity of the opponent, the strategy to deal with this person will become clearer."
"Even if this person really belongs to a well-known sect in Dajin, and if we suddenly lose many high-end immortal masters, I believe that the great immortal masters will definitely not let it go."
"Moreover, we must investigate how that foreigner was able to cultivate so many gold-eating bugs."
The white-faced old man said indignantly.
Obviously, this white-faced old man may have suffered a great setback during the battle with Chen Yun.
"I hope so. Fortunately, the gold-eating bugs cultivated by this foreigner are all in an immature state."
“Otherwise, if we just release these tens of thousands of gold-eating bugs, even if the four great immortal masters gather together, I’m afraid they will have to retreat.”
The red-haired old man whispered to himself.
After hearing this, the other elders looked at each other for a moment and could only smile bitterly.
As Tuwu Immortal Masters, they were naturally well aware of the terrifying power of the mature gold-eating bugs.
Just as everyone was feeling deeply moved, an unexpected event occurred.
The baby who was meditating in the green mist suddenly let out a sharp and piercing scream.
He then held his head with both hands, rolled on the ground in pain, and his figure gradually became blurred.
"The situation is urgent, fellow Taoists must help quickly."
The red-haired old man was shocked when he saw this and immediately shouted loudly.
The other three old men also realized the seriousness of the problem. They once again raised the magic flags in their hands and activated the magic spells.
Four streams of green mist poured into the secret room again, completely enveloping the struggling baby and constantly repairing the infant's disintegrating body.
As time went by, the crying and shouting in the mist gradually weakened as the four old men did their best to treat the patient.
After a period of effort, the baby finally calmed down, sat cross-legged, and concentrated on absorbing the green mist around him.
After a long wait, a faint and intermittent sound floated gently from the depths of the fog.
"Thank you very much for your help, fellow Taoists. Now there is no problem. You can rest assured and finish your practice."
After hearing this, the four old men breathed a sigh of relief.
Honestly speaking, if time wasn't so tight, they would have been able to hold on, but the loss of energy was inevitable.
So everyone stopped practicing and lifted the ban.
The white-faced old man couldn't help but ask Brother Xiang Gui curiously:
"Brother Gui, what happened just now? Why did the Nascent Soul that had already solidified dissipate again? This is extremely dangerous!"
"Please rest assured, this kind of situation will never happen again in the future."
"Just now, the gold-eating bug that was closely connected to my soul suffered a devastating blow, causing slight damage to my consciousness."
Brother Gui gritted his teeth and answered with difficulty.
"What? The gold-eating bugs were actually eliminated? This is simply unbelievable!"
"A mature gold-eating bug is almost invincible in this world. How could it be easily defeated?"
The red-haired old man was horrified and shouted in surprise.
"In fact, this is not surprising. If Brother Gui had not personally controlled the spirit insect, no matter how powerful the gold-eating insect was, there would be a way to break it."
“After all, no matter how strong the body is, there are still some top-level magic secrets that can directly attack the soul and spirit without destroying the gold-eating insect’s body.”
The white-faced old man thought for a moment and explained.
"I see. Then this mysterious monk must be a demon."
"But during the previous battle with him, the many magical powers he displayed did not seem to be pure magic techniques?"
The thin old man at the end said hesitantly.
After hearing this, the secret room fell into a brief silence, and several old men looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
At this moment, at the other end of the carriage, Chen Yun exhaled deeply and felt relieved suddenly.
With half a month of hard practice day and night, he finally succeeded in separating the mature gold-eating insect's soul from its body and put it into the Yinluo Banner.
During this period, the people from the Heron Tribe never disturbed him, which surprised Chen Yun and made him very happy.
However, he was completely unaware that just when his soul was separated, he almost killed the culprit who had caused him great trouble.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the black demonic energy in the void in front of him. Suddenly, there was a "swish" sound from the overflow of the demonic energy, and a small black banner flew out rapidly and was held firmly in his palm.
The remaining dark mist quickly surged and transformed into a dark green second Yuanying, with both hands tightly grasping a giant flying insect shining with golden light.
Under the Nascent Soul, the lid of the jade box and the talisman had long disappeared, leaving the box empty. (End of this chapter)
