Chapter 375 The aftermath of the war
A thundercloud arc surrounded Lu Changan and Fairy Zixia, escaping for a distance and temporarily out of crisis.
The explosive speed of the fourth-level Thunder Escape Talisman allowed Jiang Ziyan to tightly hug Lu Changan's waist in advance to avoid being thrown away from each other during high-speed movement.
"The fourth-level low-grade thunder escape talisman is enough to survive for a while. The other Nascent Soul Lords from Dayu Kingdom should be on their way."
Lu Changan secretly deduced that the situation has become clear.
The time limit for the ambush in Dashan Mountain is approaching, and there is no more time to hunt down the two of them. This time the Nascent Soul killing calamity has basically been resolved.
As expected, the resentful Red Snake Lord in the distance did not pursue him.
The speed of the fourth-level low-grade escape talisman is equivalent to the full-force escape speed in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
The initial burst of the Thunder Escape Talisman is faster, but it only widens the distance a little in a short time, and cannot easily get rid of the Nascent Soul Lord of the same level.
If there is enough time and the spiritual power of the Thunder Escape Talisman is exhausted, the Red Snake True Lord can also chase and kill him.
Um?
Lu Changan noticed that although the Red Snake Lord and the Pagoda Sanren in the distance did not pursue them, their eyes fell on the puppet army formation and planned to put them away.
These two people made the wrong decision.
Lu Changan is now integrated with the second life, and the intensity of his spiritual consciousness far exceeds the level of pill formation and is close to the Nascent Soul stage.
Within dozens of miles, Lu Changan can control the puppet military formation. Fighting in positional warfare is equivalent to the full Nascent Soul stage. The defense is good and it will not be easy to win in a short time.
“Senior Sister Jiang, heal your wounds and detoxify as soon as possible. Junior Brother, I will guide the Thunder Escape Talisman.”
Lu Changan held Fairy Zixia with one hand, and took over the guidance and control of the fourth-level Thunder Escape Talisman from the latter's green fingers with the other hand.
“Junior brother, be careful!”
Zhenjun Zixia closed her eyes slightly and was a little worried at first.
It turned out that Lu Changan could easily guide and control the fourth-level thunder escape talisman, so he lay quietly in his arms, healing his wounds and detoxifying with peace of mind.
After Lu Changan guided the Thunder Escape Talisman, he no longer distanced himself in a straight line, but circled in a circle, maintaining a distance of thirty miles, and controlled the puppet army formation from a distance.
“This guy’s puppet control is so far away?”
The two of them, Lord Red Snake, looked at each other. They thought they could easily take over the puppet army formation, but in the end they faced the full defense of the puppet army formation.
The puppet army formation is not so afraid of poison.
Secondly, unlike Zixia Fairy who suffered internal injuries at the beginning, she can last longer at her peak.
It will take a long time and a lot of effort for True Lord Red Snake and True Lord Pagoda to break through.
“Fellow Red Snake, please evacuate as soon as possible. Even if we capture the puppet formation at any cost, as long as the big dragon can control it remotely, we can make these puppets self-destruct.”
Zhenjun Pagoda advised.
The Red Snake True Lord was extremely unwilling, especially when he thought of his quasi-fourth-level spiritual pet being killed by Lu Changan, the anger in his heart could not be extinguished.
“Retreat.”
The Red Snake Lord did not lose his mind and evacuated with the Pagoda Lord beyond the planned time.
“However, Fairy Zixia was poisoned by the Heavenly Centipede Poison, and Dayu Country does not have an antidote. If it cannot be treated in time, it will damage the origin of the Nascent Soul spirit body, and its strength will permanently drop by a few percent, affecting its future potential.”
Flying in Jiugang Heaven, the Red Snake True Monarch’s gloomy old snake-patterned face showed a sinister and successful smile.
This plan did not achieve the most ideal results, but it also achieved the most basic results.
As long as [Tian Centipede Poison] penetrates deep into the Nascent Soul, the consequences will be more serious than when Fairy Zixia gave up her skin and the Nascent Soul left the body.
The only thing that stuck in his throat was Xiang Dalong.
This person was so hidden that he suffered a heavy loss in this operation.
…
Seeing the two Nascent Soul enemies retreating, Lu Changan controlled the puppet army formation to return, confirmed that it was correct, and put it away.
“Senior Sister Jiang, how is your injury status?”
Lu Changan asked with concern.
Zixia Fairy's starry eyes are closed, her eyebrows are furrowed, and her beautiful face has a hint of light blue centipede texture.
The elegant body like nephrite was lying in his arms, cold sweat dripping from her forehead, and she was shivering.
Perhaps it was too cold, so I kept hugging him tightly to get the warmth.
Lu Changan put his palms on Jiang Ziyan's vest and used the ordinary healing techniques of Changqing Gong to help stabilize her internal injuries.
As long as the longevity-destroying secret technique of Evergreen is not used, the treatment of Evergreen Gong is not essentially different from other wood-based exercises. At best, the treatment effect is better.
The strange thing is that Jiang Ziyan's body is not cold, but has a faint sense of warmth.
Lu Changan can only speculate that the chill may come from the infant poison that penetrates deeply into the Nascent Soul, from the level of the soul, not the physical body.
It’s just that the Yuanying spirit body is the original core of the Yuanying True Monarch, and Lu Changan does not dare to touch the taboo rashly.
“Junior Brother Xiang, it’s thanks to you this time.”
Fairy Zixia's weak whisper came, making people feel pity for her.
“Senior sister just took the secret medicine, and her life is not seriously affected for the time being. However, the Nascent Soul spirit body is restrained by the terrible fourth-level infant poison, and is unable to deal with the physical injuries. The mana is also out of control..."
Hearing this, Lu Changan was a little surprised. Fairy Zixia was weaker than expected.
Now an ordinary monk may be able to deal with her.
Fortunately, his life was not serious.
“Fortunately, Junior Brother Xiang’s wood-based skills are very effective in healing wounds.”
“Next, senior sister must deal with the infant poison with all her strength. The physical injuries will be left to junior brother Xiang, without worrying about male and female etiquette.”
After saying this, Zhenjun Zixia closed her eyes and said nothing, as if she fell into a peaceful sleep like a baby, fighting against the infant poison in her Nascent Soul spirit body.
When Lu Changan heard the word "full power", he put aside some of his previous scruples, carefully inspected Fairy Zixia's body inside and out, and bandaged her wounds.
Jiang Ziyan’s shoulder wound is easy to explain.
But there is another wound on the thigh, which is the key entry point for infant poison.
Lu Changan slightly tore the hem of the palace skirt, and a deep **** **** appeared on his white and round legs, almost touching the bones.
At this time, Lu Changan's expression looked solemn and cautious, as if facing a formidable enemy... He held Fairy Zixia's jade-like legs and knees with his hands.
Beware of infant poisoning at the wound site!
To this end, Lu Changan used magic power to protect his body, and he had long been affixed with detoxification charms and other talismans, even though his evergreen constitution was extremely resistant to poison.
Fortunately, the strange infant poison seems to have some kind of timeliness, and its remaining activity outside the body is very low, so the threat is minimal.
Lu Changan, who was concentrating on healing his wounds, did not notice that Fairy Zixia was "sleeping peacefully". Under her long eyelashes, her starry eyes opened slightly.
The side of his face, which was close to his chest, had a faint warm red color, which was hidden by Lu Changan's clothes.
A trace of lavender starlight disappeared from his eyes.
“I didn’t expect that Xiang Dalong, a foreign guest and elder, is the most trustworthy person at the moment of life and death. Even if I was in a ‘coma’ and my body was at its full disposal, there would be no transgression or disobedience.”
Zhenjun Zixia closed her eyes with peace of mind and relied on the power of the [Yin Yang Life and Death Pill] to protect the Nascent Soul and slowly expel and decompose the Heavenly Centipede Poison.
It turns out that Fairy Zixia’s condition, caused by the baby poison, is not as critical and bad as imagined.
Fairy Zixia is in charge of the Yunxia Sect and is particularly afraid of Dashan Mountain.
In order to deal with the poison in the Big Snake Mountain, after the death of the Taoist monk from the Ancient Youdian Palace, she paid the price of her sect’s secrets and secretly purchased the rare elixir [Yin Yang Life and Death Pill] in Yuntian City.
It was the one black and one white detoxification pill she had taken before.
This elixir can not only save lives at critical moments, protect the original soul, stabilize yin and yang, but also help weaken and decompose various evil spirits and poisons.
With this elixir, Fairy Zixia will not be in danger of her life in the short term, and she can protect the Yuanying spirit body in time.
However, [Yin Yang Life and Death Pill] is not a specific antidote after all. To resolve the [Tian Centipede Poison], it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine and slowly adjust and detoxify.
Hence, the operation of Dashan Mountain fell far short of the expected results.
Lu Changan did not dare to rashly explore Jiang Ziyan's Nascent Soul, so he did not know the real situation of the latter. He was not weak as imagined and could be dealt with at will.
If Lu Changan is ambitious and has evil thoughts, Jiang Ziyan can not only escape from the body of the Nascent Soul, but also self-destruct the body, which is enough to kill the Nascent Soul cultivator at such a close distance.
Fortunately, Lu Changan had no idea at all and was counting on the Yunxia Sect to continue to protect him from the wind and rain and borrow the fourth-level spiritual veins to conceive a baby.
Moreover, he has always been reliable and will not despise the Yuanying old monster no matter how weak it is.
After bandaging the wound.
Lu Changan checked the inside and outside of Fairy Zixia's body again.
The situation is not serious, but the body is relatively weak after internal injuries and infant poisoning, and needs to be nursed back to health slowly.
At this moment, the powerful breath of Yuanying monk escaping at high speed came from the distance.
“Reinforcements have arrived.”
Lu Changan sensed the magic aura and confirmed that he was a Nascent Soul monk from the same camp in Dayu Kingdom, and he was an acquaintance, so he felt relieved.
He closed his eyes, sensed the distance, looked in the direction of the Big Snake Mountain, and murmured:
“It’s a pity that the Great Snake Mountain has not gone out in force, and is still relatively conservative.”
…
The Great Snake Mountain boundary is a ring of mountains and deep valleys with a radius of thousands of miles, which is shrouded in gray mist all year round.
In the hills a hundred miles away from the mountain gate.
A green-armored puppet that looks like fangs and iron stiffness is sitting cross-legged among the weeds, staring at the gate of the Big Snake Mountain.
“The aura of True Lord Chi Lian is still there, and he has not left the Big Snake Mountain and has gone out with the Red Serpent King.”
Master Wei, who was integrated into the core of the fourth-order puppet, whispered in a low voice and conveyed a general message to Lu Changan in the distance.
In order to transform into a true fourth-level puppet, the fourth-level puppet controlled by Master Wei has traveled and gained insights around the Yunxia Sect's influence in recent years.
A few years ago, Lu Changan vaguely sensed something through his divination and was actually wary of the Big Snake Mountain.
Hence, he asked Wei Puppet Master to travel around the outer reaches of Dashan Mountain to collect intelligence, but he did not dare to get too close.
This time he returned from Yuntian City and was ambushed in Dayu Kingdom. Lu Changan immediately told him to contact Wei Puppet Master and let him take action according to the opportunity.
If the Great Snake Mountain comes out in force and even the newly promoted Lord Chi Lian leaves, the defense will be empty.
Once successful, not only can you search for top-level resources for infants and beasts, but you can also encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and resolve frontal crises.
Of course, this is just a back-up move by Lu Changan.
Even on the front, he still has some trump cards that he has not used, such as the arrival of the fourth generation Nascent Soul, the quasi-fourth-level supernatural puppet, nail-headed arrows, etc. Facts have proved that Dashan Mountain is relatively stable, and the new Nascent Soul stayed at the gate, leaving no loopholes to exploit.
The reason why Dashan Mountain is so secure is not to guard against Lu Changan, but because as an evil sect, it has many potential enemies.
…
Yunxia Sect, the mountain gate formation is opened, and the entire sect is on alert.
Over the sect, wild sand roared, and in the center of the Earthly Evil Qi, a half-demon rat-man floated.
Diyan Lord was wearing a purple robe, with a slightly rounded face, showing a vigilant look, looking around the sect.
Previously, he received an urgent message from the sect and instructions from his master to guard the sect honestly.
Diyanjun was a little anxious when he learned that his master was attacked, but he couldn't go out to provide support.
If it hadn't been told by its owner, it would have instinctively gone out to rescue.
In the mountain stream a hundred miles away from Yunxia Sect.
A huge red and black snake tail appeared faintly.
In the mountain stream, lurked a giant snake with red and black scales, about thirty feet long, with a dark red head and an oval shape.
Where it is located, the stream turns into poisonous red water, and a silent red land forms for several miles around.
“The time has passed. It seems that the pressure over there is not enough.”
The cold light in the pupils of the Red Nether Snake King is enough to frighten the average Nascent Soul cultivator.
The Red Nether Snake King rolled up a piece of poisonous water, covered his figure, and quietly left the Yunxia Sect's sphere of influence.
Looking in the direction of the Yunxia Sect's mountain gate, the Chiyou Snake King spit out a snake letter, showing greed and unwillingness.
The fourth-level rat king, which contains the mellow earth evil spirit, has a great attraction for him.
It's a pity that the fourth-level rat king didn't leave the sect at all, giving him no chance to ambush and devour him.
For this ambush, it also carried rat-killing poison specially prepared by the master of poison refining. The surprise attack should be 70% sure.
…
At the Yunxia Sect's mountain gate, the Earth Rock Rat seemed to be sensing something. Looking at the direction in which the Chiyou Snake King was retreating, he felt an inexplicable palpitating feeling.
We waited for another half an hour.
In the distant sky, the light-escape aura of the Nascent Soul monk is approaching.
“The master is back!”
Di Yanjun was overjoyed and felt Lu Changan's aura.
Soon, I saw a Nascent Soul monk, guarding a small floating palace building, returning to Yunxia Sect.
The escorting True Lord Nascent Soul is a man with a strange face, wearing a navy blue scribe's silk shirt, with silver-white hair on his temples, giving him a sense of vicissitudes of life.
This is none other than Xiao Weifeng, the ancestor of the Xiao family, one of the four great families in Dayu Kingdom.
This person can be regarded as the ancestor of Xiao Qingshan, the chief steward of Lu Chang'an Cave Mansion.
Because of this relationship, Lu Changan has some material exchanges with the Xiao family, and the Xiao family has a good relationship with the Yunxia Sect.
“I’d like to ask you, fellow Daoist Xiao, to send me off. I need to heal my wounds and turn poison into poisons next, so I can’t entertain you personally. I hope you’ll forgive me.”
In the palace building, the clear and joyful voice of Zhenjun Zixia came.
“Since fellow Taoist Zixia is in no serious condition, Xiao will not bother you.”
The ancestor of the Xiao family was neither humble nor arrogant. Before leaving, he gave the palace a meaningful look.
In the palace, Lu Changan supported Zixia Fairy on the soft couch. The latter seemed to be still cold and weak, hugging his body to absorb the warmth.
After the ancestor of the Xiao family arrived, Zixia Zhenjun briefly regained consciousness and expressed that she wanted Lu Changan to take care of her, and did not let the ancestor of the Xiao family get close to investigate.
Along the way, he showed his unconditional trust in Lu Changan.
"Junior brother Xiang, in the next period of time, senior sister will have to concentrate on dealing with the infant poison and fall into a deep sleep most of the time. Senior sister's body in reality will be left to your care."
Fairy Zixia raised her eyes, took out the Taishang Elder Token and handed it to Lu Changan. She breathed weakly and said with a strong smile.
“Sister, I respect you as the True Monarch of Nascent Soul, and your legal body is precious. With such personal care, it’s better to replace it with a female disciple…”
Lu Changan took the token and hesitated.
“Junior brother Xiang’s magic power, excellent healing and nourishing ability, no other doctor in our sect can compare with him. In today’s huge Yunxia Sect, senior sister can only trust you unconditionally.”
Jiang Ziyan's soft and pitiful tone sounded like a little girl's pleading.
Such a reason makes it difficult for Lu Changan to refuse.
After experiencing the previous life and death tribulations, Fairy Zixia trusted her the most. As for his medical skills of warmth and nourishment, even if he doesn't use the Evergreen Secret Technique, there is no one in his sect who can match him.
“If Junior Brother Xiang hadn’t sacrificed his life to protect me, Senior Sister’s spiritual body would have been destroyed. With such a great favor, why should we care about the common etiquette between men and women?”
After saying these words, Zixia Fairy closed her eyes, and her consciousness returned to the Nascent Soul, resisting and dissolving the infant poison.
Her cheeks, where she was sleeping quietly, had a slight blush, or maybe because her injuries were stabilized and her complexion had improved, they looked bright and vivid.
Speaking of this, Lu Changan seemed to have a clear understanding, so he let go of his suspicions.
He no longer hesitated, controlled the small palace building, and entered the Yunxia Sect's mountain gate.
…
Lu Changan held the Taishang Elder Token and briefly communicated with the Xuefeng Sect Master, Diyan Lord.
Subsequently, the palace tower reached Zixia Peak, the main peak of the fourth level.
“Elder Xiang, how is the master injured?”
A young male cultivator of Danjie with a handsome figure and a dignified appearance came out with concern and anxiety.
The person who came was none other than Hu Ang, the direct disciple that Fairy Zixia accepted as an exception many years ago.
The quality of Hu Ang's elixir reaches half-step to the golden elixir, which is very complete.
Lu Changan looked at the concerned Hu Ang, who was about to rush into the palace.
Lu Changan raised his hand, and the powerful elixir force shook it away.
“Elder Xiang, what does this mean?”
Hu Ang looked sullen and quickly realized that as a male disciple, his actions just now were a little excessive.
After all, he returned from cultivation, and now he is no longer the Taoist companion of Fairy Zixia.
In terms of cultivation, status, and influence, they are far inferior to Xiang Dalong.
“The Supreme Elder has told me that Xiang will be escorted and taken care of throughout the entire journey, and no one else is allowed to come near.”
Lu Changan held the token and entered Zixia Peak with official business in hand.
The small palace tower fell at the entrance of the cave.
What else is Hu Ang going to say?
At this time, Fairy Zixia’s voice, as gentle as a spring, came from the palace:
“Junior Brother Xiang, please carry me into the cave.”
"Um."
Lu Changan promised. Jiang Ziyan had been with him for so long and had already adapted to the wonderful and plump touch.
He completely hugged Fairy Zixia around her waist with both hands.
In this way, Jiang Ziyan's slender and undulating body was suspended and balanced in front of Lu Changan's chest, revealing her graceful and moving curves.
On one side are hanging clouds, covering half of the beautiful face, with the snow-white chin and neck vaguely visible. On the other side, the white thighs between the broken skirts were slender and round, slightly curled up, and the purple jade embroidered shoes were tilted downward towards the ground.
“Elder Xiang, you...”
Ju Ang's heart trembled violently, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't know what reason to stop him.
Because this action was just requested by Zhenjun Zixia, Xiang Dalong was just following orders.
“Nephew Hu, what do you have to say?”
Lu Changan looked back and could understand his mood.
In Yunxia Sect, there are many male cultivators who secretly admire Fairy Zixia. It is not unusual for Hu Ang, a male disciple, to have similar tendencies.
“This, if I know a little bit about medical skills, I might be able to use it...”
Hu Ang had a flash of idea and made an excuse.
The remnant soul of True Monarch Yunlan, which is fused with this body, was once knowledgeable and talented, and had dabbled in various aspects such as qi gazing, weapon refining, and medicine, but he was not considered top-notch.
“No need, Elder Xiang is proficient in medical skills, and wood-based exercises are more suitable for warming and conditioning. You can guard outside the cave.”
At this time, Fairy Zixia’s consciousness briefly returned to her body and she spoke coldly.
“It’s...Master.”
Hu Ang only felt that the voice of his former Taoist companion was cold and contained a hint of anger.
Seems to blame oneself for bad things.
His heart felt cold, he was frightened and angry, and he could only force a smile.
Hu Ang bowed and watched as Elder Xiang, who was bald and blue-robed, carried Fairy Zixia, whose palace skirt was torn and incomplete, into the cave.
“For the sake of the sect’s inheritance and to win over Lord Diyan, is Ziyan prepared to sacrifice herself to Xiang Dalong?”
Hu Ang's heart was on fire, and his impulsive thoughts were finally suppressed by reason, and he did not dare to show his resentment and dissatisfaction.
Be patient!
At this moment, the Taoist companion is injured and weak, so Yunxia Sect has to rely on Xiang Dalong and Lord Diyan.
If he shows any signs of weakness, Xiang Dalong will kill him, and no one in the door can stop him.
The sun sets in the west, and the night is about to come to an end.
Hu Ang was anxious and anxious, and his days were like years.
Due to the order given by Fairy Zixia just now, he could not leave yet and stayed in front of the gate of the cave.
