Suddenly, seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords flew out from Chen Yun's sleeves, forming a sword formation around the three people.

Amid the sound of the sword, he caught a glimpse of golden spots flashing deep in Bai Yaoyi's pupils - this was the precursor to the outbreak of the soul-eating insect.

On the back of the boulder, where the spiritual herbs had been picked previously, dark green liquid was now oozing out, gradually condensing into the shape of a three-eyed demon wolf.

A chuckle came from the underground from the clone of Saint Yuansha, and the entire stone staircase began to twist and fold.

When Chen Yun crushed the boundary-breaking talisman given by Xin Ruyin, he vaguely heard Xiang Zhili's voice transmission: "Come to the Demon Suppression Platform quickly."

The mountain breeze swept across the stone steps, blowing up a few withered yellow leaves.

Chen Yun tapped his brows with his fingertips, and a ray of green light spread from the depths of his pupils. He stared at the dark golden runes flowing on the surface of the boulder. Those lines moved between the bluestone textures like living things, and from time to time, they made a creaking sound that made one's teeth ache.

"You two, please step back three steps."

Chen Yun suddenly spoke, and the seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords in his sleeves vibrated and hummed.

The old man surnamed Fu hurriedly pulled Bai Yaoyi back. Wherever his clothes swept past, several purple-black vines suddenly sprang out from the cracks in the rocks, and the bloody mouths at the top just bit the place where the old man had just stood.

The sword energy crisscrossed and woven into a net, and wherever it passed, all the vines were turned into powder. Chen Yun stepped on the Xun position, and as the sword tactics changed, the shadows of the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams suddenly appeared on the surface of the boulder.

Those dark gold runes seemed to have encountered their natural enemy. They let out shrieks like babies crying and scrambled to drill into the heart of the stone.

"This is the moment!"

Chen Yun shouted, and the lightning pattern on his palm suddenly lit up. A golden lightning as thick as a bowl fell from the sky and accurately struck the center of the Bagua formation.

The entire boulder exploded with a loud bang, and among the rubble, a crystal clear purple jade Ganoderma lucidum slowly rose up. The spiritual light flowing on the nine leaves made the three people's hair and beards all green.

The old man surnamed Fu's Adam's apple rolled, and his skinny hand had already reached into the storage bag. However, the moment it touched the jade box, the Ganoderma suddenly twisted and deformed, turning into a jade ruyi with Taotie patterns carved on it.

"This is impossible!"

The old man staggered back, and the jade box in his arms fell to the ground. When the lid of the box was opened, there was no trace of the scent of spiritual herbs.

"Ancient mirage array."

Chen Yun brushed off the dust on his shoulders, and the sword light condensed into a green lotus platform behind him. "This formation is the best at spying on people's greed. The more they desire something, the more realistic it will be."

He raised his hand and pointed at a clump of seemingly ordinary moss three feet away, and swept the sword across.

The moss shed its disguise, revealing the true purple berry spirit grass. The thumb-sized fruit was covered with star patterns on its surface, and purple mist was exhaled with every breath.

Bai Yaoyi covered her lips with her bare hands: "The thunder just now..."

"The Thunderbolt is specially designed to defeat evil spirits." Chen Yun glanced at the old man surnamed Fu who was still in a daze. "Fellow Daoist, you know, if you really took the Jade Ruyi into your Dantian to nurture it, it would have become the blood food of the formation."

The old man shuddered when he heard this, and cold sweat oozed out of his back, soaking his Taoist robe.

He suddenly remembered the broken jade slip he found in the ancient cultivator's cave three days ago. On it was the eight-character seal script "Use desire as bait, greed as lock". Thinking of it now, every word was heart-wrenching.

Walking up the stone steps that snaked like snakes, the rotten leaves made a faint whine on the soles of the boots. Chen Yun walked in front, his green shirt fluttering in the mountain wind, revealing the spirit beast bag hanging around his waist.

The unique buzzing sound of gold-eating insects came from the bag, and this sound made Bai Yaoyi feel a little relieved - at least it meant that there was no existence nearby that could threaten these ancient evil insects.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, please look!"

Bai Yaoyi suddenly stopped.

The ice crystals condensed on her fingertips were pointing at the pillar of the stone pavilion. A sword mark about an inch deep slanted across the surface of the bluestone, and the cut was a strange burnt yellow color.

The old man surnamed Fu leaned in to take a closer look, his nose twitching, "It's the Lihuo sword energy of the seventh elder of the Ye family. Three years ago, he fought against the old monster Tiansha in southern Xinjiang, and he used this kind of burning mark." As he spoke, he shook out an ancient bronze mirror from his sleeve, and the mirror light swept across the sword marks, reflecting dozens of interlaced lights and shadows, "No! This mark is clearly left by someone slashing from three directions at the same time!"

Chen Yun flicked the edge of the sword mark with his fingers, and a touch of gold powder fell. He picked up some and rubbed it on his fingertips, and suddenly sneered: "What a silver-winged yaksha, you actually know how to use corpse poison to infuse sword energy."

Before he finished speaking, the shadow in the southeast corner of the stone pavilion suddenly twisted, and five skeletons in silver armor slowly emerged.

There were ghostly green flames flickering in their eye sockets, and the bone knives in their hands were still stained with blood.

"It belongs to the monk of the Ye family."

Bai Yaoyi's words stopped abruptly. On the inside of the silver armor of the first skeleton, the Teng Snake family emblem of the Ye family was embroidered.

However, the originally red embroidery thread now turned bluish-black, as if it had been corroded by some sinister poison.

Chen Yun's expression changed slightly, and twelve talismans flew out of his sleeves, forming a Big Dipper formation in the air. Almost at the same time, five skeletons' silver armor burst apart, and thousands of corpses surged out like a black tide.

The carapaces of these mutant corpse beetles have a metallic luster, and their mouthparts make a sound of metal clashing when they open and close.

"retreat!"

Chen Yun shouted, and the Qingyuan Sword and Shield unfolded in an instant. The old man surnamed Fu summoned his life-saving magic weapon, the "Xuan Yin Tower", and every time the nine-story tower turned a circle, it would emit a large amount of Xuan Yin cold air.

Bai Yaoyi's jade fingers fluttered, and the seventy-two icy spirit needles turned into a star rain in the sky.

The swarm of corpse beetles collided with the sword and shield, sparks flew, and half of them actually penetrated into it!

Chen Yun's pupils suddenly shrank, and he made a gesture with his right hand to summon the Xutian Ding. The ancient body of the Ding shook slightly in the air.

Invisible spatial ripples spread out, and corpses exploded wherever they passed. Dark green juice corroded the ground, leaving honeycomb-shaped holes.

When the last corpse beetle turned into ice chips under the ice needles, the stone pavilion was shrouded in a lavender dusk. Chen Yun was about to speak when he suddenly heard a thin bell sound in his ears.

The voice sounded crisp at first, but upon closer inspection it carried a soul-stirring and evil quality that could even cause the Nascent Soul to tremble.

"Five sons share the same demon!"

The old man surnamed Fu suddenly turned pale, and the Xuanyin Pagoda in his hand wailed as it could not bear the heavy load. Five white shadows emerged from the void, looking like human figures but without facial features, and surrounded by a visible evil aura.

As they walked, white frost formed on the ground and the grass and trees they passed by withered instantly.

The white shadow in the middle suddenly split apart, and the grey-robed old man stepped out. His face was not covered with a veil, but with countless wriggling grey runes, which sometimes turned into the crying face of a baby, and sometimes turned into a hideous ghost face.

The most horrifying thing was his right hand - the five fingers were clearly five shrinking white shadows wriggling!

"Fellow Daoist Chen, how are you?"

The old demon Qian's voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, with each word emphasized, "When you destroyed my sect's Ghost Luo Banner, did you ever think of this day?"

As he spoke, five white shadows closed in, and their resentment condensed into substantial chains that moved in the void.

Chen Yun stood with his hands behind his back, the Great Evolution Technique running wildly in his Dantian. He noticed that ice crystals had formed on Bai Yaoyi's temples, and the Xuanyin Tower of the old man surnamed Fu was absorbing the surrounding Yin Qi - this old demon had reversed the flow of spiritual energy within a radius of 100 miles without making a sound!

"The antidote to the Soul Sealing Curse in exchange for your intact body."

The old demon Qian suddenly took three steps closer, his grey robe moving without wind. The dark soul flag in his left hand swung slightly, and Chen Yun suddenly felt as if his soul had been hit hard.

But the next moment, the demon-subduing pestle hidden in the sleeve suddenly heated up, and golden Buddhist light burst out from the spirit platform, dispelling all the sinister curse power.

"How could the bald monk from the Great Guangming Temple be willing to give you such a treasure?"

For the first time, the old demon Qian showed a look of shock, and five white shadows screamed in unison. Wherever the sound waves passed, the pillars of the stone pavilion collapsed, revealing the bottomless cave below.

A cold wind carrying a foul stench blew in my face, and countless bones could be vaguely seen floating in it.

This is the moment Chen Yun has been waiting for!
The Xutian Ding suddenly turned upside down, and seven-colored rays of light spurted out of the mouth of the cauldron.

The humanoid puppet hiding in the dark suddenly attacked, throwing the lightning ball in its hand at the connecting nodes of the five white shadows.

At the same time, the swarm of gold-eating insects turned into a golden whirlwind, surrounding the old demon Qian within three feet.

"Little tricks!"

The old demon Qian laughed wildly, and the soul flag soared to a height of ten feet. Thousands of wronged souls appeared on the flag, forming a Yin Luo Purgatory Formation in mid-air.

But the next moment, his laughter stopped abruptly - those seemingly ferocious gold-eating insects suddenly exploded, and each insect corpse burst into a dazzling golden light!

"Dageng Sword Formation!"

Chen Yun's sword moves suddenly changed. Three hundred and sixty sword energies emerged from the exploding golden light, instantly crushing the encirclement of the five white shadows.

It turned out that he had long hidden the sword intent in the insect swarm, using the Buddhist treasure to cover up the fluctuations of sword energy, waiting for the moment when the five demons merged into one.

Suddenly, a sharp roar of the Silver-Winged Yaksha was heard from the underground cave, and the whole mountain began to shake violently.

Bai Yaoyi took the opportunity to sprinkle out the icy cold sand, and the old man surnamed Fu bit his tongue and sprayed out his own blood essence to activate the Xuanyin Tower.

The three forces intertwined, and a strange phenomenon of nine stars in a row appeared faintly in the sky above Kunwu Mountain.
The mountain wind swept across the ruins of the stone pavilion, rolling up a few pieces of charred talisman paper. The five white shadows in front of the old demon Qian suddenly twisted and deformed, and a sharp sound like a baby crying came from the gray smoke.

Golden light flowed in Chen Yun's pupils, and he could clearly see three blood-colored spells wrapped in each wisp of gray smoke - this was exactly the "Blood Evil Soul-Splitting Technique" recorded in the "Xuan Yin Sutra". Every attack of the Five Demons brought back the resentment of the Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Does Fellow Daoist Chen really want to perish together with his enemies?" The runes on the gray robe of the old demon Qian suddenly condensed into nine ghost faces, and spit out the Nine Dark Winds. Before Bai Yaoyi's ice crystal flying knife touched the demonic energy, the blade was covered with spider-web-like cracks.

“Zheng!”

A green light suddenly appeared, and the seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud swords formed a Bagua sword formation.

Where the sword energy and the dark wind collided, spider web-like cracks appeared in the space. Chen Yun pressed the spirit beast bag on his waist with his left hand, and 30,000 gold-eating insects turned into a golden wave and rushed towards the Five Demons. Each insect armor was engraved with a miniature version of the Da Geng sword symbol.

"What a trifle!" Old Demon Qian laughed wildly, and the Ghost Banner suddenly expanded. The thousands of wronged souls that appeared on the banner suddenly condensed into entities, and actually set up the Yin Luo Purgatory Formation in the void. The gold-eating insect swarm in the front crashed into the soul wall, exploding with golden and green sparks all over the sky.

The old man surnamed Fu suddenly bit his tongue, and the ninth floor of the Xuanyin Tower, the "Netherworld", suddenly opened. Nine black iron chains flew out of the tower, and at the end of the chains were nine Yuanying corpse puppets!

The soul fire of their own life was flickering in the eye sockets of these corpse puppets, which was clearly the "Nine Sons Soul Locking Technique" secretly passed down by the Jiuyou Sect.

"Friend Fu, you!"

Before Bai Yaoyi could finish her exclamation, nine corpse puppets had already pounced on the five demons. A blood-colored symbol lit up on the palm of one of the corpse puppets, which turned out to be the "Blood River Demon Suppression" that was specifically designed to counter demonic powers.

The old demon Qian's expression suddenly changed: "Old Monster Jiuyou even passed on the sect's secret technique to you?"

Before he finished speaking, the Five Demons suddenly split into twenty-five phantoms, each holding a miniature Ghost Banner.

As the shadows of the banners intertwined, a huge hexagram formation emerged on the ground of the entire stone pavilion.

"Be careful with the ground veins!"

Chen Yun shouted, and the Xutian Ding flew out from his forehead. The blue phoenix pattern on the body of the Ding suddenly came alive, and it emitted a seven-color glow that enveloped the three people.

Almost at the same time, inky black fire spurted out from the center of the hexagram formation, and the feathers of the Silver-winged Yaksha were mixed in the flames!
Bai Yaoyi suddenly used the Beiye Xiaoji Palace's treasure "Xuanbingjian"

, the mirror reflected the real body of the old demon Qian - under the gray robe, there were three beating demon hearts! She immediately sent a message to Chen Yun: "Fellow Daoist Chen, the life gate is in the demon heart of Tanzhong!"

Chen Yun's eyes flashed with brilliance, and the three-flame fan hidden in his sleeve suddenly unfolded. The three-color spiritual fire of gold, green, and blue intertwined into the shape of a phoenix, and each feather was a compressed sword intent.

At the same time, a humanoid puppet broke out of the ground from the cracks in the earth veins, holding in its palm the "Boundary-Breaking Thunder Pearl" that it had obtained from the Xutian Palace that year.

"go with!"

The moment the lightning bead hit the Guiluo Banner, strange folds appeared in the space. The old demon Qian wanted to teleport but was horrified to find that the space within a radius of 100 miles had been locked by the Xutian Ding!

The three-colored fire phoenix took the opportunity to penetrate the five demons' defense line and went straight for the gray-robed old man's vital point.

"How dare you!" The old demon Qian roared, and the gray mist around him condensed into solid armor.

The runes on the armor plates were actually living soul-eating insects, madly devouring the Fire Phoenix's spiritual power.

But at this moment, the third vertical eye suddenly opened between Chen Yun's eyebrows - the gray light emitted by the Eye of Destruction directly corroded the armor and made a gap as big as a bowl.

"puff!"

Blood splattered everywhere. The old demon Qian retreated a hundred feet, and one of the demon hearts in his chest had been broken.

The five demons howled miserably, and their bodies began to devour each other. The old man surnamed Fu seized the opportunity, and the nine corpses formed a net to tear the two weakest demon phantoms into pieces.

"I'll give you the solution to the Soul Sealing Curse in exchange for your life!"

Chen Yun pointed his sword at the throat of the old demon Qian, and the Xutian Ding was suspended three inches above his head. What spewed out of the Ding was no longer the rosy glow, but the chaotic air with the power of reincarnation.

The old demon Qian grinned: "You think..." Before he finished speaking, the entire Kunwu Mountain suddenly shook violently. The six-pointed star array under everyone's feet burst into dazzling silver light, and ten figures broke through the air. The leader held an ancient bronze lamp, and the flame of the lamp was the legendary "Taiyin True Fire"!
“Remnants of the Tianji Sect!” The old demon Qian suddenly laughed crazily, and dark blood gushed out of his broken demon heart. “Okay, okay! Today I will let you witness the true Yinluo secret method!”

Before he finished speaking, the remaining two demon hearts suddenly flew out of his body. One of them sank into the Guiluo Banner, and the banner surface suddenly showed a scene of a wild battlefield.

The other one turned into a blood cocoon and wrapped the remaining bodies of the five demons.

What’s even more terrifying is that the resonant roar of the Silver-Winged Yaksha can be heard from deep within the earth veins, and the spiritual energy of the entire mountain begins to flow backwards!

Chen Yun's face was solemn. He sensed that the soul-sealing curse that Nangong Wan was hit by was madly absorbing the energy of the evil spirit.

If the backflow of spiritual energy is not stopped, the Taoist couple will be dead in less than half a minute! The Xutian Cauldron suddenly flew into the air automatically, and dense ancient inscriptions appeared on the body of the cauldron - this is actually a sign that the "Reverse Yuan Channel" is about to be forcibly opened!
