Above the sea, gods and their warriors, ghosts and their soldiers are abundant.
Everyone is shocked by the great magic just performed by the Master Guoteng.
None knew where the Master Guoteng's true form was. One thing was certain, the opponent was at least thousands of mountains and rivers away, controlling this realm's power and shaping a master who stood tall, composed of pure starlight, with endless might.
Even across thousands of mountains and rivers, could someone still perform such a terrifying great art?
It seems that this person's cultivation has already reached the pinnacle!
Chen Yun retracted his Dao body, suspended above sea level and gazed northwest for a long time without speaking. He pondered in secret, "If Guoteng's great art is so astonishing, it is unlikely that his reputation is small. I will find more people to investigate and surely learn about this person's background. At that time, I will also understand the strength of the sect he belongs to. If it's not strong, I will directly lead my troops to attack and completely eliminate the potential hazards."
Or, push the potential hazards to the future.
He believed that if he truly eradicated the sect of Guoteng, from top to bottom, when he himself achieved Dao and became an immortal, the other party would definitely come looking for him.
What can one do when they come looking for trouble?
Once I achieve Dao and become an immortal, I can borrow the power of my sect.
At that time, with the power of immortals and deities, they will not need to follow the so-called heavenly rules set by Lü Dongbin and He Xinggu.
Han Xiangzi, Cao Guozhu, and Wang Chongyang dare not say for certain that they can invite them.
As Lü Dongbin's character of protecting the weak, even if he himself doesn't ask for help, if such an event occurs, he is likely to respond with great force.
This can be seen from the fact that when I asked Lü Dongbin for help to save myself, he not only saved me but also directly attacked the Sacred Mountain.
As for He Xian Gu, my relationship with her is quite close, so I imagine she would be happy to help take on Master Guoteng.
"Therefore, if I achieve Dao and become an immortal, unless Guoteng wants to kill me in one blow with all his might, I will have no opportunity to be killed."
Chen Yun narrowed his eyes, "The best opportunity for the other party to kill me is now. Let the disciples with high cultivation levels kill me as soon as possible before I achieve Dao and become an immortal."
Alas!
A high-level practitioner at the later stage, two stolen attacks from main disciples of the sect, and neither were successful.
Chen Yun could be very responsible for saying that Master Guoteng had completely lost the opportunity to kill him.
Now, it's time for me to retaliate!
Of course, before counterattacking, it is necessary to understand the other party's situation.
Chen Yun did not immediately summon the "Soul refining banner" to take away the gods and demons.
He looked left and right, then raised his hand to bow towards the four directions, channeling his elixir Qi and saying loudly, "Thank you all for coming to support Chen Yun. Great kindness needs no thanks; on another day, I will certainly repay you generously!"
No one stepped forward to respond to him.
Chen Yun roughly understood why.
These people are all sent by his sect or close friends of the sect.
Their purpose is not to help oneself fight enemies, but rather to ensure their own safety.
In summary, whether it is Qiuchuji, Zhang Jiwen, Han Ziming, and others are all responding in this way to tell Chen Yun that they will not assist him anymore in the future.
Chen Yun naturally understood this very well.
Seeing no one accepting his gratitude, he did not linger any longer.
Chen Yun extended his hand and made a gesture to take out the "Soul refining banner" from the storage tape on his sleeve.
Mhm, things used in battle wouldn't be placed in the space created by Taoist spell.
Only things that are not needed for the time being, such as the Zhou Tian Xingjian sword and the Zi Qing double sword, will be stored in the space created by Taoist spell.
Since he had just needed to use the Soul refining banner, he naturally kept it close at hand, storing it in the storage talisman on his sleeve.
Speaking of which, this storage talisman was obtained from Xie Wumen, of the Yinshan sect, originally.
Normally, when he extends his hand, things inside the storage talisman will immediately appear in his palm.
However, something strange happened.
Chen Yun extended his hand and made a gesture without a response.
Hmm?
Why isn't the Soul refining banner responding?
He was quite puzzled and released his spiritual consciousness to investigate if there was something wrong with the storage talisman.
In fact, this is a good thing.
Upon looking, Chen Yun's brow furrowed instantly.
Looking at it, Chen Yun's brow furrowed as he realized that there was no trace of the storage talisman in his sleeve at the moment.
It's evident without doubt that Guoteng must have secretly used magic to steal my storage talisman.
If someone else encountered this situation, they would undoubtedly believe that Guoteng secretly took away the storage talisman because it contained the Soul refining banner, and the Soul refining banner stored the spirit soul of the woman in pink.
Chen Yun does not think so.
He narrowed his eyes, "Quietly taking away my storage talisman and Soul refining banner?"
Taking away the Soul refining banner is understandable; it contains the spirit soul of the woman in pink.
As the storage talisman is something I hold, if someone takes it without a valid reason, that would be in violation of the《Women's Heaven Law》!
After all, he was just an ordinary mortal who had not yet achieved Dao and immortality. According to heaven's rules, gods could not arbitrarily take away any property from ordinary people, or at least they would be executed.
Chen Yun knew that since Guoteng dared to take it away, he must know that it would not violate the "Law of the Celestial Goddess."
"Unless... this storage talisman has an extremely close origin with the other party!"
He suddenly realized and pondered in secret: "Could it be that the Master Guoteng is actually the former name of Yinshan Laozhu, and is none other than Xie Wumen?"
Chen Yun suddenly remembered the first time he was assassinated by the woman in pink, who had said at the time that she was avenging her "husband's grievances."
Among the males I have killed, it seems that the Yinshan sect has the most.
One Xie Wumen, one Yin Wuming.
Although Chen Yun was not clear which of the two was the husband of the woman in pink, he could discern from Master Guoteng's action of seizing the storage talisman that even if he was not from the Yinshan sect, they must have a close relationship.
Haha!
It seems to be someone from the Yinshan sect!
I killed Xie Wumen on the battlefield. In terms of sentiment and reason, they should not seek revenge.
Later, Yin Wuji came to seek revenge, which had violated the agreement between major sects.
I had killed Yin Wuji, and at that time, I let it go and didn't pursue the responsibility of the Yinshan sect.
So now you dare to send people repeatedly to attack and plot against me, trying to put me to death!
Chen Yun, anger-induced laughter, clenched his fists tightly, "Alright, since your Yinshan sect keeps challenging me again and again, once my god-like and demon-like soldiers recover, I'll go straight to your doorstep and kill them!"
Wait, the strength of the ghost soldiers and ghosts is a bit weak.
After I have all of them consecrated into divine soldiers and generals, then I will go to challenge them.
Chen Yun deeply inhaled, and his heart turned fierce, prepared to eradicate the entire Yinshan sect!
Luckily, the storage talisman only contained the Soul refining banner, the Hong Ying gun and the Qibaomiao tree were in my hand. If the Qibaomiao tree had been put inside and taken away, I might have faced some big trouble.”
Chen Yun couldn't help feeling secretly relieved and quickly checked the artifacts in the space created by Taoist spell again, finding that none were missing.
Chen Yun finally realized the incredible power of the Taoist spell space.
From Master Guoteng's action of seizing the storage talisman, it can be seen that the other party wanted to retrieve the artifacts of the Yinshan sect.
The Yinshan sect artifacts he possesses are not just the storage talisman.
There are also the Seizing Soul Bell, Needles, and other artifacts in the Taoist spell space.
And now that they did not take any, it can only mean one thing, that is, they have not discovered the Taoist spell space.
Master Guoteng, with such cultivation, cannot detect the existence of the Taoist spell space.
It can be imagined how wonderful this spell is.
Chen Yun became vigilant, "In the future, no matter whether it is useful or unnecessary law implements or treasure items, all of them should be placed in the Taoist spell space. We cannot trust the external storage talisman.”
Thinking of this, he looked towards the soldiers and generals, preparing to have everyone exert their magical power to return to Qingcheng Mountain by their own strength.
Unexpectedly, the sea surface suddenly stirred.
Someone sings remotely:
"Clouds and mist on Emei Mountain disperse,
A trace of divine breeze blows into the gate."
"Understand all secrets of the heavens,
Walk alone on the path of immortality, it's vast and boundless."
Chen Yun and the soldiers and generals looked towards the sea surface, seeing two figures stepping on the waves.
As the first voice of song ended, another voice of song echoed once more.
"The vast stars and moon reflect over mountains and rivers,
The peaceful and clear leadership transforms all the wise."
"The mist is faint and elusive, the divine wisdom and foresight surpasses the purple mist."
"The Trigrams of Immortality Book permeates the nine heavens,
A finger's divine light gathers and ignites."
"The wind and clouds change colors, startling the heart,
No one dares to look at the five mountains and three sacred peaks."
As soon as the voice fell, two elders with Daoist aura appeared and stood not far from Chen Yun.
Chen Yun looked eagerly and saw that the two elders had different appearances.
The left-hand old man was dressed in plain clothes, walking with a cane and blinded in one eye, and his leg was a bit lame.
The right-hand elder was dignified and elegant, dressed in purple Daoist robes with an eight trigram pattern embroidered on them. He was eight feet tall, with a magnificent appearance, a one-foot-long white beard, and youthful gray hair. It was as if an immortal had descended from heaven.
The dignified and elegant elder was not recognized.
In contrast, the lame old man, Chen Yun's memory of him was still vivid.
Upon seeing the two figures step on the waves and sing, he quickly went forward and executed the disciple's rite, bowing and greeting, "Chen Piao greets Mr. Wu Jiao. It has been many years since we last saw each other. How is the gentleman?"
That's right, the lame old man is none other than the famous Left Ci.
Left Ci old immortal laughed loudly, "It's good to see you care. Thank you."
The dignified and elegant elder smiled but said nothing.
Chen Yun proactively asked, "May I ask, this respected elder is..."
Only then did the dignified and elegant elder slowly open his mouth, "I am Yu Ji."
Yu Ji?
Chen Yun was greatly startled at the name and quickly bowed, saying, "Chen Piao greets Master Yu."
Yu Ji smiled and said, "Chen Xiao You, it's unnecessary to be so polite. There's no need for so many bows and gestures."
Why did Chen Yun's heart tremble when he heard the name of Yu Ji?
Because Yu Ji is not only famous but also known to be rather sinister in the legends.
It is said that during the reign of Emperor Chun of the Later Liang Dynasty, Liu Mengchong, a disciple of Yu Ji, obtained the sacred book of "Peaceful and Virtuous Leader's Way" from the official of the Langyabao Palace at the Quping Spring on the Yellow River.
Nothing is wrong here, but there is something related to it. According to Jiangbiandi records, the death of Sun Ce, the young warlord of Jiangdong, was greatly related to Yu Ji.
The "Record of the Gods" (Sou Shen Ji) has this account: "After Sun Ce killed Yu Ji, he would sit alone, as if seeing Ji on his left and right, feeling deeply repulsed by him, and behaving abnormally. Later, when his wounds were healing, he looked into a mirror and saw Ji in the reflection. When he turned around, Ji was no longer there. This happened several times. Eventually, he struck the mirror and cried out loudly; his wounds burst open and he died shortly thereafter."
It can be seen from this that Yu Ji is quite evil.
Another point is that Yu Ji was one of the leading figures of the Huang-Lao Daoist school in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and he had a significant influence in the spiritual world.
Naturally, Chen Yun showed enough respect in the presence of this "sinister" immortal.
After greeting the two immortals, Chen Yun found nothing to say and said, "I don't know if Mr. Wu Jiao and Master Yu are accompanied by anyone, but I would like to know where they are heading."
Yes, he really had nothing to say and was just trying to make conversation. He thought that Left Ci and Yu Ji happened to pass by here and encountered him, so he came over to show off a bit and greet them.
After all, Left Ci had saved him once before. It was only natural for him to come over and show off a bit when the other came by.
Unexpectedly, Left Ci the Old Immortal revealed a mysterious smile and said, "My visit with Master Yu this time is for you."
Chen Yun was taken aback and said, "Ah?"
Left Ci continued speaking by himself, "We have observed that you have great misfortune and have come to offer you the great method of cultivation to save yourself!"
