Chapter 238: The Failed Hibiscus
Chapter 238: The Failed Hibiscus
Lu Chen and Yun Xingyu were thousands of miles high in the sky, with a very broad view, but the Taiqing Mountains were so large that without an exact landmark, they would have no way of finding Ye Wan'er.
Combining his past experience, Lu Chen came up with a solution.
He planned to use his physical body to attract the enemy first, making the disciples of the four sects think that he was the real culprit who stole the medicinal herbs, and then all of them would chase him.
Then Ye Wan'er just needs to set fire to a patch of forest. The easiest way to create a light source in a forest is to have a big fire. Coupled with the billowing smoke, Lu Chen will be able to quickly lock onto Ye Wan'er's position when he returns.
Of course, this must be carried out under the premise that all the enemies have been lured away, otherwise Ye Wan'er's hiding place will be immediately exposed.
This plan was a great test of Ye Wan'er's trust in Lu Chen, and it was also a race against time.
The main reason is that when Ye Wan'er left, Lu Chen had not found Yun Xingyu yet, so Ye Wan'er didn't know about Yun Xingyu's existence, and she was very likely to be skeptical about this plan.
After Lu Chen repeated his plan several times in the Book of God-Slaying and Fallen Souls, he immediately dived down from the clouds, releasing all his spiritual power to quickly attract the attention of the disciples of the four major sects.
"Tentacle Demon!!!"
"Look, it's the tentacle demon!!!"
Soon someone discovered Lu Chen. They were very familiar with the tentacle demon's breath because among the people searching for Ye Wan'er was Mu Jin, a female cultivator in the early Mahayana stage of the Luohua Sect.
Mu Jin has been practicing in seclusion in the sect for some time. Her confidence has been greatly shaken since she witnessed Ouyang Lan's miserable condition last time.
And he kept blaming himself in his heart, blaming himself for not having the courage to chase the tentacle monster, blaming himself for not being strong enough to help Ouyang Lan avoid the tentacle monster's invasion.
And if she couldn't help Ouyang Lan, it meant that she couldn't help herself either.
This is what she fears most.
So after Mu Jin returned to Luohua Sect, she had been practicing diligently in seclusion until recently.
Because of the recent war in the spirit world, many elders of Luohua Sect went to the front line to fight against the corpse ghosts in the Huangyin Taixu land. Many cultivators also had to be wary of the magic dragon clan in the Magic Dragon Holy Land. So she, who was a hermit, naturally became the leader of the team to capture the thief in the Taiqing Mountains.
But who could have thought that the enemy that Mu Jin least wanted to meet would appear in front of her again, and the opponent's aura was much stronger than last time.
Mu Jin couldn't help but become very nervous, her breathing became rapid, and cold sweat oozed out of every part of her body.
The tentacle demon had actually become her inner demon. Every time she practiced, the shadow of the tentacle demon would linger in her mind, so that she always had to take heart-clearing pills to assist in her practice.
This is another reason why she brought the team here.
Recently she often comes here to collect raw materials to refine the Qingxin Pill.
If she didn't take the Qingxin Pill for a day, she would feel a little anxious.
And the real culprit behind all this is not far away.
But what can she do?
Mu Jin stood there in a daze, and the other disciples were all extremely anxious.
"Elder Mu, what should we do now? The tentacle demon suddenly appeared here. Could it be that he stole all those medicinal herbs???"
"Elder Mu, judging from the aura he released, his cultivation is much higher than yours."
Everyone was in a panic because they just thought it was a thief who stole the medicinal herbs and didn't think too much about it. None of the four major sects sent out any monks with high cultivation levels.
Mu Jin is already the person with the highest cultivation level here.
Mu Jin's body trembled slightly, and that figure made her steps heavy.
Although the four sects mobilized hundreds of people together, they were still not enough to deal with the tentacle demon.
In order to ensure that everything would go smoothly, Lu Chen also took a Blood Rage Condensation Pill, which increased his cultivation to the late Mahayana stage, which made Mu Jin even more uneasy.
Mu Jin swallowed a Qingxin Pill forcefully, and only then did she regain some of her composure: "Hurry up and inform everyone to save their own lives first, and then quickly retreat to each sect to inform the elders in the sect and ask them to send disciples with cultivation above the Mahayana stage."
The tentacle demon's power suddenly increased dramatically. Mu Jin dared not take any risks anymore and immediately called on the disciples of Luohua Sect and Jiuding Sect to retreat first. She didn't even have time to notify Tianyi Sect and Shengling Sect.
Mu Jin even tried her best to release her body protection spiritual power to ensure that she...
Can you bear it?
The tentacle demon's full-strength attack.
Even Ouyang Lan can’t bear it, how can I bear it?
Hibiscus was discouraged and had a bitter look on her face, but to her surprise, the tentacle demon flashed past their heads and had no intention of attacking them at all.
Lu Chen above his head was also puzzled as to why these people did not come to chase him.
It wasn’t so difficult to lure the enemy in the past.
Too fast for them to catch up?
Lu Chen could only slow down a little.
But why didn't those people catch up?
