Chapter 120: Unsettled Mood
Chapter 120: Unsettled Mood
Leng Changhong made an unexpected choice. Xia Zhongnan asked with a wry smile, "Leave with me? Fellow Daoist Leng, are you playing a joke on me?"
At this moment in the fog, it is Xia Zhongnan's home ground, and he is guarded by seven divine beasts and Xu Qian, Gu Xiuzhan and others. If others follow him, they will undoubtedly seek death.
Seeing Leng Changhong willingly offering him the opportunity to practice, Xia Zhongnan smiled inwardly, but still showed dissatisfaction on his face. Mu Lianqing said without hesitation: "Since Daoist Leng is so kind, how can I not accept it! Xia Xiaoyou is wise and decisive, I believe he can get along well with Daoist Leng."
He didn't understand why Leng Changhong insisted on following Xia Zhongnan, but he believed that once the two left, he would be the biggest beneficiary, so he immediately agreed.
Leng Changhong snorted coldly: "Boy, do you want to stop me from leaving?"
Xia Zhongnan responded, "Of course I don't dare to stop you from leaving. So, please go ahead and I'll take a break and leave later. I think there's nothing wrong with that, right?"
On the surface, traveling with three people would make Xia Zhongnan the safest. However, no matter who he was alone with, he would face a huge threat because his cultivation was the lowest.
Therefore, Xia Zhongnan allowed Leng Changhong to leave first, which was also a compromise with him. He planned to step into the fog at a certain distance from Leng Changhong after he left.
However, Leng Changhong seemed determined to deal with Xia Zhongnan to the end, and said jokingly: "It doesn't matter, I will take a short rest before leaving."
Xia Zhongnan had no time to dwell on this, so he said, "Forget it, I won't rest anymore, I'll take my leave first!" After that, he walked into the depths of the fog without hesitation.
Leng Changhong laughed twice with contempt, and then followed Xia Zhongnan into the fog.
He was already familiar with the map given by Xia Zhongnan. After entering the fog, he immediately used the Seven Star Steps to try to catch up with Xia Zhongnan quickly.
However, no matter how fast he accelerated, Xia Zhongnan, who seemed to have just stepped into the fog, disappeared from his sight. No matter how hard he explored, he could not find Xia Zhongnan.
Leng Changhong sneered to himself: "I didn't expect this kid to be as cunning as a rabbit. I clearly saw him coming in not far in front of me, but I couldn't find him in the end."
In fact, he was trapped in the misty illusion, and thought that he was walking according to the steps taught by Xia Zhongnan, and was moving forward with all his strength. Little did he know that he was actually spinning in the mist, and at this time Xia Zhongnan and the divine beasts had surrounded him in the dark, treating him as a test subject, observing how people who entered the maze gradually fell into the illusion...
Leng Changhong, a cultivator who had entered the Return to Void Realm, was seen to be gradually showing anxiety on his face after circling the magic circle alone for a while. His mood was turbulent and his steps became faster and faster.
After a moment, he growled, "Young man, you can't escape from this place, so you'd better surrender as soon as possible!"
Before he finished speaking, he used his magical powers towards the void in front of him. I'm afraid he had already locked onto the figure of Xia Zhongnan hiding in there.
Then, Leng Changhong muttered to himself while attacking fiercely in front of him. His breathing became disordered and his eyes gradually turned red.
Xia Zhongnan and the other strange beasts witnessed with their own eyes a Huanxu monk gradually losing his mind in this formation. They were all amazed at the power of the formation and were glad that they had mastered the method to break it, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Seeing that Leng Changhong had completely fallen into a frenzy, Xu Qian quietly approached Xia Zhongnan's ear and whispered, "Aren't you going to do it yet?"
Xia Zhongnan smiled calmly: "Don't be impatient. With each passing minute, he will become less able to resist. Besides, the fellow practitioner outside is doing his best to help us break the restrictions of the alchemy room. Well, now it's time to send him back to nothingness."
After he finished speaking, Xia Zhongnan, holding a long spear as black as black iron in his hand, suddenly stabbed Leng Changhong from behind. Leng Changhong flew up in response, rolled and fell more than ten feet away.
Even so, Leng Changhong still shouted: "How is this possible! How did you suddenly become so powerful?"
Before he finished speaking, Huang Cheng appeared behind Leng Changhong and launched an equally fierce attack.
In this way, Xia Zhongnan and several other beasts joined forces to attack, and after hundreds of consecutive fierce attacks, they finally defeated Leng Changhong. Afterwards, they looted all the treasures on his body.
Originally, Xia Zhongnan planned to take Leng Changhong's body to find Mu Lianqing, but out of respect for the newly deceased, he decided to leave him in the formation and not ask about it anymore. So he returned to the alchemy room with Xu Qian, Gu Xiuzhang and many strange beasts.
At this time, Mu Lianqing had just broken the formation of an alchemy room and excitedly took out several alchemy furnaces to admire them one by one. Those alchemy furnaces were all from the immortal palace's treasury, and their grades were far superior to those seen in the mortal world. Although he did not understand the way of alchemy, he was determined to bring these rare items back to the sect for collection.
Suddenly, he saw Xia Zhongnan walking out leisurely from the fog and looking at him with a smile on his face.
Mu Lianqing was stunned for a long while before he asked, "How come you can come out again? Did Brother Leng fail? But without Brother Leng to hold you back, you still dare to stand in front of me alone. You are really brave!"
Xia Zhongnan smiled and replied, "I wouldn't dare to trouble you easily alone, but I brought a few friends with me this time."
As the words fell, Xu Qian, Gu Xiuzhan and Tu Shan Fang'er, who had transformed into a human form, walked out of the fog one after another.
Mu Lianqing's eyes fell on them and he said slowly, "They are just a few cultivators in the Spiritual Transformation Realm..."
However, when he caught a glimpse of Qiongqi, Huangcheng, Tianma, Bai Ze, Zhuque and Chongmingniao appearing one after another, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
Only after a closer look did Mu Lianqing let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It turns out that they are just second-level spirit beasts. I was almost surprised."
Xia Zhongnan laughed loudly: "Don't forget, even if it was just me, you might not be able to win easily. Now with these helpers, your fate is doomed to be difficult to escape."
Then he shouted loudly: "Fellow Daoists, fight the evil together!"
Mu Lianqing was instantly furious. Xia Zhongnan had repeatedly insulted him as a dog before, and now he was even more arrogant and wanted to take away his life. In anger, he held the measuring ruler in his hand, took the lead in charging towards the enemy, and fought fiercely with a group of fellow disciples.
Facing the cultivator who was at the Returning Void Realm, they had already accumulated a wealth of experience in dealing with him. Xia Zhongnan used his spear skills to engage in a fierce battle with Mu Lianqing, while several alien beasts surrounded him, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Bai Ze diligently set up his formation on the battlefield again.
As soon as the battle started, Mu Lianqing immediately realized the amazing power of Xia Zhongnan and his group of strange beasts. Each of these strange beasts has extremely strong defenses, and if they are not continuously hit hard, they cannot cause effective damage at all. However, he is fighting alone and facing multiple parties. How can he find opportunities for continuous attacks?
Looking at himself, he seemed to have been firmly bound by a huge net, and even escaping from the battlefield became extremely difficult.
