"The moment my voice faded, a pin could be heard dropping inside the hall."
Not only the Taoists in the hall itself, but also many Taoists followed us on our way here. They are all now outside the hall, coldly staring at me, each with an even more ruthless look in their eyes.
Laughter erupted suddenly from the bamboo strips.
The sound grew louder and echoed inside the hall. After spreading outside, it seemed to resound unendingly in this small area.
"Luo Xian Shen, once, twice, don't you think it's too much?"
"The last time you came to my Juyu Mountain, you said it was a matter of life and death for us!"
"This time, it's still the same rhetoric!"
"Do you really think I have no one in my Juyu Mountain?!"
The bamboo strips disappeared instantly from their place, his speed was so fast that when he appeared next, he was already standing in front of me!
A sword was about to touch my throat.
I want to talk to Juyu Mountain, but it doesn't mean I will trust bamboo strips not to kill me.
With prior preparation, I stepped back three steps, my single hand forming a mystical gesture, while the other hand was not holding the Gao Tian sword.
Rather than the expected Gao Tian sword, it was a……egg-sized object, slightly dull in luster, with some teeth marks on it.
Corpse Dan!
"Master..." Old Gong retreated to my side, his expression one of shock and surprise, as if he hadn't expected my actions.
Wu Jinluan and the others also quickly retreated after realizing what was happening.
But without exception, when they saw the corpse Dan in my hand, they widened their eyes, as if they had seen an object that should never have been seen, each person's breathing becoming rapid and their eyes showing desire and greed.
"This..." Maosi's pupils shrunk slightly, and for a moment, he forgot how to speak.
"This object, exudes vitality."
"I suppose, that heaven's thunder injures lifespan. If I have this object in my mouth and use heaven's thunder, how many moves can I execute?"
My tone was unprecedentedly calm.
Actually, this idea had existed since old Gong scraped off the powder of the corpse Dan to give them to Wu Jinluan and others for detoxification.
They all had skin that was delicate, and their youthful vigor made them appear as if they had been reborn.
I deduced that the effect of the corpse Dan might also include extending one's lifespan.
It's just that I don't know why old Gong didn't let me use it as well. Perhaps there are other reasons within.
Holding the corpse Dan in my mouth, using vitality, initiating lightning law, the effect must be amazing.
However, the consequences would also be severe, something hard to bear.
That's why, it's almost impossible to use.
Therefore, I didn't take it out in front of Bai Song.
The significance of intimidation far outweighs the damage of eight hundred to the enemy and one thousand or even two thousand to oneself.
The Taoists from Juyu Mountain all retreated a considerable distance away. Maosi slightly took a breath, calmed his breathing, and then said, "Isn't that interesting, Luo Xian Shen?"
"The last time, you did the same thing. When there was no true master in front of you, you made the gesture of channeling heaven's thunder and pretended to strike at my Juyu Mountain disciples."
"Is your Taoist arts all used to threaten the orthodox and righteous schools?"
"My master has done things on this mountain countless times. You can't even begin to imagine it," Old Gong said now, his voice sinister: "You'd better listen to him now. He didn't even consult with me about this move. Let me tell you, this Dan is from the Yuhua corpse of General Mountain. It's a big achievement of a corpse, its vitality can hold up a dragon vein, and if used to trigger the heaven's thunder, in the future your Juyu Mountain will become a pool of thunder, with lightning strike wood all over the mountain and bones drying up everywhere!"
"No, you might leave behind some bones, but they, not even bone fragments will be left," Old Gong glanced at the Taoists in the arena with a mix of pity and sarcasm.
Old Gong's words caused a heart-stopping moment for me.
Could it really have such serious consequences?
I had only thought that perhaps it would be something like what happened to Jin Lun and the others, my skin shattered, my blood vessels severed...
That move, we can't use it!
But before me, this aura is too imposing to be ignored.
Maosi's eyes were slightly squinted, and his gaze did not waver at all, fixedly on me.
Mao Zhu arrived by his side, his eyes showed more coldness, but he still dared not make a move, afraid of forcing me to take the next step.
They are actually pretty fortunate.
The Taoist disciples of Juyu Mountain were far from calm; there was a lot of unease in their eyes, mixed with resentment, and mostly they dared not speak out in anger.
"Therefore, Luo Xian Shen, this is what you said about our Juyu Mountain facing annihilation, a matter of life and death?"
"You hold this treasure as a killing blow, using it to threaten us not to pursue the five elders' deaths, not to accuse you of stealing nightlight cave nose, not to accuse you of handing off official master to the Plague God?"
"If Juyu Mountain does not agree, you will use this item to wipe us out?" Mao Si's words seemed more calm and cold than ever before.
I never expected him to think in this direction. This is really saying something.
"Truly... you old Gong have angered me!"
"What kind of nonsense is this." Old Gong kept patting his chest, truly a look of disbelief.
"The nine-tusk golden tooth is like a god of earth, you can't be too demanding. Don't think that, you can sacrifice everything, and I, Juyu Mountain, will be weak. Under the protection of the three Mao Zhengshen, we will not accept this kind of threat!"
"If your wishes are granted, even if my Juyu Mountain survives, it will be nailed on the shame pole," Mao Si said coldly.
"Huh!"
A loud shout of "Huh!" came from the disciples of Juyu Mountain, and they all stepped forward at the same time!
Each of them showed a kind of emotion in their eyes.
United in strength!
Mao Si is too pedantic, inflexible, and deaf to what I'm saying and what old Gong is saying. He has a fixed view.
I was about to speak again.
But Wu Jinlan stepped forward, pressing his hand on the corpse Dan in my hand to stop my action.
Later, he turned to look at Mao Si and said, "Only by looking at others can you determine who they are. What old Gong said was just a warning, not a real threat. Only Luo Dao Chen is just protecting himself, afraid of you killing him."
In a few words, Wu Jinluan first explained the present situation, then looked at Guan Liangfei in the hall and said, "As for the specific details of what happened and the real danger facing Juyu Mountain, it comes from..."
Wu Jinlan's words were quite detailed, explaining our purpose for coming to Juyu Mountain, which indeed was to resolve the initial misunderstanding and find out the true cause of the five elders' deaths.
And when I was below the mountain, I encountered an enemy who was in a life-and-death struggle, trying to escape. But Guan Liangfei stopped me.
The enemy wanted to kill me and take the legacy of Juyu Mountain, Guan Liangfei was angered, so he demanded the enemy leave the legacy behind...
What I and Wu Jinlan said, he basically got out there.
There was no detailed explanation for the term "legacy."
When he finished, Wu Jinluan glanced at the corpse Dan in my hand and said in a low voice, "Corpse Dan, the enemy wants it, Luo Daochen is willing to give it. To resolve the conflict. Now, the enemy is also targeting Guan Liangfei. Basically, Juyu Mountain is unlikely to be an opponent of the enemy. You'd better avoid this point and if necessary, also leave Guan Liangfei behind. He himself is a dead man, but through special Taoist practices has gained some extra life span. Fundamentally speaking, he will not be targeted if he does not reveal his uniqueness. Since he has been targeted and unable to protect himself, do not let him incur unnecessary trouble for the mountain. "
