Chapter 181: Major Movement
These four people were indeed disciples from the four sects of Kunlun!
Langfeng Summit, Xuanpu Hall, Kunlun Palace, Tianyong City!
The heads of the four great academies had indeed gone up to Kunlun, and even Qian Qing, the sect leader, had taken action.
Of course it was a joke that these four Golden Core disciples could oppose the Monster Saint—they were simply sent down to deal with people of the Demonic Path!
All four of them carried “Escape Heaven Talismans”, which also prevented them from encountering the Monster Saint and becoming delivered kills instead!
But the timing of these four was perfect; the ferocity of Zhu Shenzi was such that none of the many people present could withstand it.
This young man pulled the Supreme Clarity Purple Manor Immortal Thunder from the Void, condensed the Jade Pivot Divine Thunder Seal, and slapped it down through the air, directly flipping it over Zhu Shenzi!
Zhu Shenzi was still handling the monk and Mu Yuan’s group of four with ease, but then a divine light from above destroyed many of his savage beasts, followed by a thunder seal slamming down—immediately he flew into a rage!
The cultivation method of the Demonic Spirit Gate was to treat one’s own meridians and acupoints as containers to seal savage beast spirits, absorbing the abilities of these creatures. Inevitably, they became tainted with the savage beasts’ violent and fierce natures, each one overflowing with murderous aura!
Now, being besieged by a few juniors, Zhu Shenzi’s temper instantly flared up.
“Demonic Spirit Great Sage, Ten Thousand Beasts Without Bounds!”
Zhu Shenzi gave a loud shout, and two huge green-furred wolf beasts shot out from behind him. Their sharp claws were like swords as they pounced upward toward the sky!
These were devil spirits formed from the powerful savage beast spirits that Zhu Shenzi usually collected; normally, he truly was reluctant to bring them out just for show, but today he had no choice!
The powerful divine light from that silver circular mirror swept across like a laser beam, and wherever it passed, devil spirits were annihilated one after another.
The other two also saw Zhu Shenzi’s strength; one emitted a clear, sparkling light, while the other slashed out gray-black Sword Qi, thick and sticky like porridge!
Four Elixir Formation experts, plus the unfathomable monk, along with Mu Yuan, Su Yun, and Yun Xi—all eight joined forces in an attack. Even though Zhu Shenzi was immensely powerful, he roared and howled, his ferocity suppressed!
The two green-furred wolf beasts that leaped into mid-air, however, were trapped when the man holding the circular mirror turned its surface; enveloped by the divine light, they twisted and jumped, struggling violently, trying to break free!
These two wolf beasts were formed from the spirits of two Windstorm Wolves that Zhu Shenzi had sealed away.
Windstorm Wolves were extremely fierce, moving like the wind with great speed. Under their sharp claws, even refined steel could be pierced; their fangs were comparable to flying swords. Of course, these were Windstorm Wolves that had achieved cultivation!
The two sealed within Zhu Shenzi’s body were Windstorm Wolves that had formed demon cores!
Trapping these two wolf beasts caused the silver mirror to tremble slightly; the Kunlun disciple struggled to maintain control.
“Insignificant demon beasts, how dare you cause chaos!”
The man who emitted Sword Qi was the most handsome among the four. Dressed in a well-fitting white robe that fluttered as if about to fly, he carried a sheathed longsword on his back, making him seem as if he might float away at any moment!
This man’s sword style did not seem to be Kunlun’s “Seven Stars Ancient Sword Scripture”; it was sticky and sluggish, as if it could trap everything within it, making escape impossible. It reminded Mu Yuan of a name recited by the Monster Saint when using the “Heavenly Demon Soul-Searching Great Art” to ransack the three Kunlun disciples.
Great Marsh Sword Art!
With their combined efforts, they suppressed the two green-furred wolf beasts, slowly pulling them toward the silver mirror!
“Two more beast spirits—I’m getting rich today, young master!”
The man holding the silver mirror was all smiles, but Zhu Shenzi screamed in fury.
“Boom!”
On the massive Mount Sumeru, golden light blazed like fire. The demon dragon coiled around Sumeru was blasted into two segments; with a mournful roar, it shrank back into Zhu Shenzi’s body!
Seeing the situation turn bad, Peacock King came to assist. A multicolored light instantly exploded, breaking through the waves of light everywhere, and he joined the fray.
“What bold demon, how dare you block me, young master!”
The man holding the silver mirror was fully focused on collecting the spirits of the two green-furred wolf beasts, while the man carrying the longsword on his back shouted angrily. The sword on his back rang as it left its sheath; a shower of starlight scattered, vaguely revealing the shape of a giant ape manipulating water, emitting a shocking murderous aura!
Peacock King had only recently advanced to the Core Formation Realm; how could he compare to these Elixir Formation disciples from renowned great sects? Struck by this Sword Qi, his colorful lights shattered one after another, his body shaking repeatedly. He hurriedly spun the Water Soul Pearl, causing a mist of water to swirl everywhere, and his form instantly vanished, darting away!
“Go!”
Zhu Shenzi shouted loudly, pushing the Ten Thousand Beasts’ Uproar Art to its limit. The two green-furred wolf beasts trapped by the silver light struggled violently, releasing streams of whirlwinds. They actually broke free from the silver light’s envelopment and escaped.
Immediately, demonic energy surged, and Zhu Shenzi suddenly appeared beside Peacock King. The two exerted their strength simultaneously and left completely!
Even though those four Kunlun disciples were powerful, they couldn’t stop them in time!
“Hmph, they got away quickly, but they can’t escape forever!”
The four descended, looking very arrogant, and paid little attention to everyone present.
The valiant general Tong Dayi, who had appeared at some unknown time, was smiling apologetically at the four.
“No need to panic. We are disciples of Kunlun, sent down the mountain by the sect leader’s order to eliminate demons and evils. Before we came, the sect leader had already notified all sects, stating the culprits behind this demon uprising. Each sect has also dispatched elite disciples; we can set out to battle the demons tomorrow!”
Tong Dayi’s face was full of smiles. “That’s excellent, that’s excellent! Please, four immortal masters, rest in the tent!”
The four nodded and swaggered away.
“What attitude! Just because they’re Kunlun disciples, what’s there to be so arrogant about!”
Mo Huan was indignant, disliking the four’s behavior, and couldn’t help complaining.
“Humph!”
A cold snort—the four had already gone far away, and Mo Huan’s voice was very soft, so it should have been impossible to hear. But the man who had earlier emitted the clear light suddenly turned his head, made a crushing motion with his palm, and a palm imprint flew over, aimed directly at Mo Huan!
Mo Huan was startled. Even though Kunlun was powerful, he wouldn’t just wait for death. Sword Qi surged on both his arms: the one on his left arm was masculine and fierce, vast like spring river water; the one on his right arm was formless and traceless, only a soft, cold wind whipping up.
The two strands of Sword Qi combined and immediately clamped down on the flying palm imprint. The collision instantly caused a fierce gale, splattering mud everywhere and blowing a large crater in the ground!
Mo Huan’s face turned pale, but he lifted his head proudly, not retreating in the slightest.
“Heh, Ten Thousand Swords Transformation Art—Wudang Sword Sect!”
The man’s figure flickered, ghost-like, and in an instant he closed in beside Mo Huan, swung his right hand, and slapped over!
Their cultivation levels were already a whole tier apart; from the earlier impact, Mo Huan had suffered some internal injury. This time, the Kunlun disciple showed no mercy—the force was so great that if it landed solidly, it might have blown Mo Huan’s head apart!
“This is too much bullying!”
Mu Yuan’s eyelids twitched violently. Then he heard a Buddhist chant; a golden light like a rainbow separated the two.
When the Kunlun disciple’s palm landed on the golden light, it was as if he had been pricked by a needle. He leaped back abruptly, staring fiercely at the monk.
“The demon extermination is imminent; everyone, please quell your anger, don’t fight!”
The monk directly ignored the man’s fiery glare and spoke calmly.
“Reverend, good skills, and your words are not wrong. It was my junior brother who acted rashly!”
The man who had earlier performed the “Jade Pivot Divine Thunder Seal”, along with the other two, approached and spoke.
Tong Dayi’s face broke out in fine beads of sweat; he looked extremely anxious, probably cursing inwardly already.
“But this person insulted the four of us. After the rebellion is quelled, we will settle this matter!”
His tone was light and calm, as if talking about something unrelated to himself.
Mo Huan only gave a cold snort and said nothing more. The situation was stronger than the individual; the other side had four people, each at Elixir Formation cultivation—he couldn’t compare.
Mu Yuan also found it distasteful but said nothing.
The group then dispersed. Tong Dayi inwardly repeated “Buddha bless”, grateful that these people hadn’t started fighting within his army camp.
“Wow, Kunlun really sent people. Probably those Primordial Spirit elders of Kunlun will also appear, since they have witnessed the Monster Saint’s power. If they mobilize other sects as well, I’m afraid even the Monster Saint won’t be able to handle it and will suffer the consequences!”
Returning to his own guest room, Mu Yuan pondered privately.
This was the last border city in the south—Wuliang City. Further south were the cities already taken by the demon beasts!
Wuliang City was a large city, almost comparable to the capital of Tianyu Kingdom, Fanming City. The city walls were high, the moats deep, and the defenses strong. Within the city were countless mansions, rows upon rows of houses like stars. Mu Yuan was currently staying in a guest room of the former city lord’s residence!
As soon as these four Kunlun disciples arrived, Tong Dayi treated them as honored guests; their influence was immense, even surpassing the monk’s.
Mu Yuan didn’t care about these things. He knew more than these four and naturally understood the dangers of this situation.
“Never mind, I won’t think about it too much. Focusing on cultivation is the real deal!”
Mu Yuan dismissed distracting thoughts, sat cross-legged, and concentrated again on the furnace fire throughout his body.
