Chapter 1240: Difficulty Entering the Forest

Tan Xiu finished.

Ye Zhichen sighed secretly.

His persistence in the Dao made his cultivation progress by leaps and bounds, but it was also his persistence in the Dao that made him hesitate at this moment.

If he let go and fought, the outcome between him and Lu Gu would be unpredictable. Judging from the cultivation of both sides, his chances of winning might be slightly higher, but he hesitated, and his Dao heart was shaken. Facing the life-and-death battle between millimeters, he was timid. How could he not lose with such a mentality?

But if you think about it carefully, this result is actually not surprising.

Tan Xiu has always been pursuing the Dao of Heaven, cultivation, and how to improve his realm to be closer to immortal immortals, but Lu Gu is not like that.

Even though the poisonous Dao is also a way to seek heaven, its essence is only one from beginning to end - killing.

Not only will it poison your body, but also your Dao rules, and even now it will not let go of your Dao heart.

Lu Gu obviously saw her disadvantage, so she spent so much time talking about the Dao, ostensibly to resolve doubts, but in fact to shake Tan Xiu's unwavering Dao heart and his confidence.

Lu Gu was very experienced in playing with her opponent in the palm of her hand, and Tan Xiu was not wronged.

If he had not spent so much time in seclusion and hard training, and if he had been more bothered by the trivialities of the world like the peak masters, and had more opportunities for actual combat experience, the situation today would probably be different.

Yin alone does not give birth, and Yang alone does not grow. Although the Tao heart that is too clear is hard, it lacks toughness. Once it is hit and cracked, the impact is far more serious than that of others. Fortunately, Tan Xiu figured out the joints at the last moment, so he did not die here on the spot.

But the defeat was already done, and the result was determined. Tan Xiu's resistance was just a dying struggle. Ye Zhichen couldn't think of any chance for him to survive.

"Go!"

Suddenly, Lu Gu's face changed slightly, and she ignored the result that was about to be achieved, and turned around and rushed towards Ye Zhichen.

"What..."

"Someone is coming, and there are two people inside who are likely to be immortals!"

Without waiting for Ye Zhichen to finish her question, Lu Gu hurriedly said, her relaxed lazy smile disappeared, turning into deep solemnity and a barely perceptible fear.

"Let's go!"

Without asking her how she knew, Ye Zhichen immediately said hello to the others and flew towards the Sansheng Forest.

If there really are immortals, then they can't escape now, so it's better to use the secret place of Sansheng Forest to delay for a while, so that maybe they can find a glimmer of hope.

Before coming to Sansheng Forest to save people, now it has become self-rescue. After learning that it was meaningless, the others formed a formation and rushed towards the entrance of Sansheng Forest. Although Lu Heng brought people to stop him, he didn't use all his strength when he attacked, and there was always a trace of irony on his face that made Ye Zhichen feel uneasy.

When they rushed to the entrance of Sansheng Forest, the broken and dilapidated entry and exit formation made Ye Zhichen finally understand why Lu Heng smiled so strangely.

The Sansheng Forest was right in front of them, but there was a layer of protective light curtain between them, so no one could enter without entering the magic circle.

The feeling of looking at the forest but not being able to enter was enough to drive people crazy. The long sword was inserted into the ground to protect everyone around him with the sword forest. Ye Zhichen turned his head and looked at Situ Yin.

"Is there any way?"

Situ Yin sighed deeply and shook his head after a slight hesitation.

"The formation is too broken and needs to be reconstructed, but I have..."

No need to finish, the others have understood.

Situ Yin has the ability to reconstruct the magic circle, but now he has no suitable spiritual materials at hand, so he can't implement it even if he has a way.

Signaling others to calm down, Ye Zhichen asked: "Is there no way at all? Can't the required materials be replaced with other materials?"

With a bitter smile, Situ Yin said helplessly: "Others may be possible, but the weeping blood copper and cold flame mica cannot be replaced. I don't have these two things, and I guess you are the same."

With a pursed mouth, Ye Zhichen's heart sank completely.

Both the Blood-Weeping Copper and the Frost Flame Mica are extremely rare spiritual materials, which are invaluable in themselves. Because of their many uses, they have miraculous effects in many formations and elixirs, making them even more priceless. Under intentional control, more than 90% of these two things are in the hands of various powerful clans in the human world. Although Taixu Palace has no shortage of them, if you want to get them, you have to go to Lingxiao Peak or Tianqi Peak to apply for them. Baicao Peak also has a small reserve because of the formation, but it is hidden in the treasure house of Baicao Peak. It is obviously unrealistic to get them now.

"Back off!"

After forcing everyone to retreat with a burst of energy, Lu Gu took out a few medicine bottles with a cold face.

"What are you going to do? Don't mess around, senior, this formation..."

Situ Yin was shocked and just wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but Lu Gu had already started.

The poison pills in the medicine bottle were poured out in one bottle, and under Lu Gu's control, they were broken into powder. With a wave of her hand, they were divided into two parts, one of which was sprinkled on the protective light curtain in front of her, and the other floated to the group of poisons behind her.

Just like cold water poured into boiling oil, the light curtain exploded the moment the poison powder came into contact. Waves of colorful but extremely pungent gas rose up, and large chunks of mucus kept sliding down the light curtain, dripping onto the ground and sinking into the soil, causing the land to boil and turn into a sticky thing like paste.

Behind her, the poisonous creatures also went crazy the moment they came into contact with the powder, and their already hideous bodies burst into blisters. The pus bags kept swelling and bursting, and the splashing pus made the grass and trees black, and the soil became bumpy like frozen tofu.

The abnormality on their bodies was obviously extremely painful. Not to mention the poisonous creatures with simple intelligence, such as snakes and insects, even the poisonous ivy and poisonous grass twisted in pain, but this also aroused their ferocity.

The pustules on their bodies were injuries but also a catalyst. Each of their bodies underwent strange changes, either getting bigger or smaller, or emitting endless poisonous smoke and venom. Under the guidance of Lu Gu, they all turned their heads and rushed towards the protective light curtain, fearlessly rushing forward.

Under the impact, the forbidden counterattack of the protective light curtain was immediately triggered, and dangerous rays of light flowed back and forth, purifying the poison powder while strangling all the poisonous creatures that dared to rush forward.

Large pieces of poisonous creatures turned into corpses and piled up at the edge of the light curtain, while other poisonous creatures seemed to be unaware of them and continued to rush forward on their corpses. Soon, a mountain of corpses that stretched as far as the eye could see appeared in front of the light curtain. Seeing the remains of the poisonous creatures inside twitching even though they were still alive, even Ye Zhichen and the others changed their expressions. The people in Taixu Palace were even more shocked and speechless, and their scalps felt numb.

"Senior, this is useless. This formation is based on the ancient formation. Although I haven't tried it, it should be able to fight against immortals! No matter how many insects you send, it is impossible to break it. Unless the spiritual energy of the formation is exhausted or the entrance and exit formation is repaired, there will be no third way to get in!"

Situ Yin persuaded from the side, and Lu Gu suddenly turned back, with undisguised murderous intent in her eyes.

"Noisy! If you disturb my peace again, I will poison you to death now!"

Situ Yin immediately shut up and looked at Ye Zhichen with a bitter face, while the latter shook his head.

"Why don't we try to escape from Taixu Palace while there's still time?" Yun Jiao'er suggested. Since they were not allowed to enter Sansheng Forest, it seemed that this was the only way left. Before Ye Zhichen could answer, a familiar laugh sounded in the sky. "Hehe, Xiaolu, why didn't you tell me when you came to me so that I could send someone to pick you up?" As he spoke, three figures appeared out of thin air, one of whom was wearing a green Taoist robe and was the Taoist Baijie. The two people beside him were silent with proud expressions, as if everything in front of them was like an ant farce and not worth seeing in their eyes, and the strange phenomena around them were also shocking, and the higher the cultivation level, the deeper the shock. Although they did not show any breath of pressure, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surrounded them like a tamed kitten and refused to leave, and faintly exuded a faint and undetectable mysterious rhythm, which was the rhythm of the Tao. At the same time, just standing there, everyone felt controlled by others, as if everything around them was controlled by the two people, and they only needed a thought to kill them on the spot.

In addition, there was the performance of Baijie Taoist.

Although the three people appeared at the same time, Baijie Taoist's flying height was slightly lower than the two, and his position was slightly behind. When he spoke, he did not hold his head high as before, but slightly bowed his body, and acted like a respectful junior inside and out.

Although they had not seen it with their own eyes, the ascenders present could sense the identities of the two at a glance, and coupled with Baijie Taoist's performance at this time, they completely confirmed their identities.

Immortal.

And he was the immortal ancestor of Taixu Palace.

Only immortals can have such a misty and grand aura of transcendence.

Only the immortal ancestor of Taixu Palace can make Baijie Taoist, the ancestor of the sect, so respectful, acting like a junior and not daring to cross the etiquette.

"Get out of my way, did you call me Xiaolu? Disgusting!"

She kept scolding me, her face full of disgust.

It seemed that he was used to it. Baijie Daoren didn't care at all. Instead, he shook his head happily, grinning like a young man. When he saw Tan Xiu almost being killed by the poisonous peacock, his face turned serious and his brows slightly wrinkled.

"Xiaolu, you're a bit too harsh, aren't you? Tell me where Tan Xiu offended you, I'll teach him a lesson for you, and you should take away your peacock first, or he will really die if you continue like this."

"I'll say it again, don't call me Xiaolu, you didn't call me that! Also, when did I need you to intervene when I was teaching someone a lesson? Besides, I'm not teaching him a lesson, I'm going to kill him!"

As he spoke, the attack of the poisonous peacock suddenly became more fierce. Tan Xiu was in great pain and wanted to ask Baijie Daoren for help, but the two immortal ancestors were by his side, so he opened his mouth several times but couldn't get it out.

It was not because he was afraid of losing face, but because of the aura and pressure of the two people that he could not speak. He always felt that if he spoke, he would offend the immortal power of the two people. He opened his mouth several times but could not make a sound.

He looked at Lu Gu with a headache, and Baijie Taoist bowed to the two immortal ancestors. After one of them nodded his head without comment, he took action.

He flashed in front of Tan Xiu, stretched out his left hand and accurately grasped the bird's beak and squeezed it tightly. The poisonous peacock struggled several times but could not break free. The tail feathers of the spread screen flashed hard, and a poisonous cloud surrounded by lightning and thunder suddenly covered him.

"Uncle Master, be careful!"

Tan Xiu hurriedly reminded him, but he saw Baijie Taoist waved his hand without turning back to indicate that he should not worry. He stretched out his right hand and swung his robe sleeves to draw a circle in front of him just before the poisonous cloud approached.

The black hole of the circle sucked up the entire poisonous cloud like a wind tunnel, leaving nothing behind. After a moment, the circle disappeared, and a round ball slightly smaller than a human head appeared in front of the eyes. Lightning flashed and dark clouds surged inside, which was obviously the compressed poisonous cloud from before.

Carelessly throwing the poisonous peacock far away, Baijie Taoist held the ball in one hand, and reached into it with the other hand under Tan Xiu's horrified gaze. After a moment, he pulled back his palm and threw the poisonous ball at the poisonous peacock that rushed towards him again. A trace of pain appeared on his old face.

He had spent a lot of effort and raised a Thunder Swallowing Green Eyed Scorpion for many years, but it was gone.
