The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 92
As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked.
Especially the disciples of the Blue Pool Village, their expressions changed greatly as if they had been struck by lightning!
In the Cultivation World, third-rate sorcerers memorized incantations, second-rate sorcerers comprehended incantations, and first-rate sorcerers modified incantations.
However, there was another kind of person who was not related to the first, second, or third-rate sorcerers. That kind of person was usually unreachable. They did not need to memorize incantations because they had already comprehended them and were not satisfied with modification. Instead, they had mastered the last step.
Creation.
They were either good at refining unique elixirs, creating peerless armors, or drawing unprecedented spiritual incantations. In all these ways, they were called grandmasters.
For the small cultivators of the Celestial Sect, these grandmasters often lived in the inscription of a scroll or on a treasure or spiritual weapon. The young disciples of the Blue Pool Village did not expect that the person they wanted to capture to the Heavenly Music Pavilion was such a god-like figure.
Li Wuxin’s forehead was covered with cold sweat, but as the head of the village, he had to hold on. He forced a smile, and there was a layer of oil on his waxy face.
“I didn’t expect such a coincidence that the Myriad Waves Incantation was created by a grandmaster. Then I’m really … Haha, I’ve misunderstood you. However, when I was fighting with Luo Xianxian’s vengeful spirit in the Colorful Butterfly Town, I got another thing. I don’t know if this thing has anything to do with you. ”
Chu Wanning frowned and asked, “What is it?”
Li Wuxin waved his hand, and “Smart” immediately came over with a brocade box.
“It’s a weapon.”
Chu Wanning did not speak. He looked at the brocade box for a while and suddenly said, “Is it a willow vine?”
“!!”
This time, not to mention the others, even Mo Ran opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Li Wuxin said in a trembling voice, “You, how do you know? Is it really you? No … What’s going on!?”
A golden light lit up in Chu Wanning’s palm, spreading inch by inch and coiling around the ground. As the light softened, a stretch of willow branches and leaves appeared in front of everyone.
Chu Wanning, on the other hand, was unperturbed. He was now convinced that the Colorful Butterfly Town incident was the same as the Jin Chenghu incident and the Peach Blossom Spring incident; it was all done by the same person. Therefore, he asked, “Villa Master Li, the thing inside the box is this weapon, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Li Wuxin was almost at a loss for words.
When the brocade box was opened, there was indeed a bunch of identical vine veins inside.
Chu Wanning narrowed his eyes.
When he was in the Peach Blossom Spring, the “ghost” that killed the feathermen and framed Mo Ran made him suspicious. Now, it seemed that he was right.
“Villa Master Li, can I take a look at this willow vine?”
Li Wuxin thought about it and secretly thought that the situation today was not good. It was better not to offend Chu Wanning, so he said, “Grandmaster Chu is too polite. I came here to ask about the situation. If you’re willing to take a look, I’m more than happy. There’s no reason for me to stop you.”
When Young Master Chang heard this, he was unhappy. He had spent a lot of money to invite the Blue Pool Village to support him. Seeing that the situation was not good, was this old thing going to change sides?
He kept glancing at Li Wuxin and glared at him angrily.
Li Wuxin was not willing to pay attention to him. However, Mo Ran saw it clearly and joked, “Young Master Chang, is there something wrong with your eyes? Why are you squeezing? ”
On the other side, Chu Wanning took the willow vine from the brocade box and looked at it carefully.
As expected, although the willow vine had the same appearance as Tianwen and the ghost, its breath was very weak. It was different from the Shenwu that had recognized its master. It was obviously a “dead thing”.
“Heart-Picking Willow …”
Xue Meng’s ears were sharp. When he heard these three words, he was stunned. “What?”
“This willow branch, as well as the one that killed the feathermen in the Peach Blossom Spring, were all broken from the Heart-Picking Willow,” Chu Wanning said.
“Ah!” Shi Mei cried out in surprise. “Is that so?”
“Back in Jin Chenghu, before the old dragon died, he said that a certain spell of the fake North Chen required a strong wood spirit to sustain it. He must have left behind a few pieces of the Divine Willow before Jin Chenghu was destroyed. Although the spiritual power of the Divine Willow weakened after it fell, it could still hold on for a while. ”
Chu Wanning’s slender fingers stroked the golden leaves.
“And he didn’t waste this kind of spiritual power that had been depleted. He used it to frame others and gave it to his puppets as weapons.”
As he spoke, he suddenly lit a fire in his hand and touched the willow vine that was very similar to Tianwen. The flame immediately burned and reflected in the frightened and confused eyes of the crowd.
“This item isn’t my weapon.” Chu Wanning extinguished the fire after burning a small part of the branch. He threw the willow vine away and said indifferently, “Tianwen’s spiritual power is abundant. Not even the Samadhi True Fire can burn him, let alone a normal fire curse.”
Li Wuxin opened his mouth and closed it again. After a while, he opened it again unwillingly.
“I’ve heard about the Peach Blossom Spring. I heard that Young Master Mo at the Peak of Life and Death killed the featherman immortal monarch by mistake …”
“Sigh, I didn’t kill him.” Mo Ran waved his hand.
Xue Zhengyong was displeased, but his attitude was firm. “I’ve already explained this to the immortal sects. It wasn’t my nephew who did it. Villa Master Li, if you mention it again, don’t blame me for being impolite. ”
When Mo Ran saw him like this, he seemed to have triggered something in his heart. He was suddenly stunned. Something deep seemed to flow through his smiling eyes. He murmured, “Uncle …”
Chu Wanning said, “The matter of the Peach Blossom Spring was originally a misunderstanding. But at that time, I couldn’t defend my disciple. But today, all of you have come to ask for an explanation. I’m willing to tell the whole story to all of you from Bi Tan Manor. ”
Under the flickering light, Chu Wanning briefly explained the matter of Jin Chengchi and the Peach Blossom Spring. When he finished, the disciples of Bi Tan Manor were dumbfounded. Li Wuxin’s clothes were soaked in sweat. He stuttered for a while before he said bitterly, “Grandmaster Chu, are you saying that there’s a person in the world who has almost mastered one of the three great forbidden techniques, the ‘Exquisite Chess Game’?”
“That’s right.”
“How is that possible? That’s a forbidden technique! Even the leader of the Confucian Wind Sect, the number one sect in the world, can’t get the scroll of the forbidden technique — ”
Chu Wanning said, “I’m not lying. But whether you believe it or not, it’s up to you to decide.”
“That’s impossible.” Li Wuxin’s face was pale. His lips trembled as he laughed, as if he could convince himself as long as he took this as a joke. “If there’s someone who can really master the Exquisite Chess Game, won’t the world be in chaos? Won’t everything in the cultivation world be rewritten?”
As the Emperor Ta of his previous life, Mo Ran was a bit unhappy. “That guy only knows how to play it, not how to play it. If he really mastered it, would the world be so peaceful now? ”
Li Wuxin’s long beard trembled. He was about to say something when a sword light suddenly flashed at the door. A Bi Tan Manor disciple covered in blood rolled down from the sword and vomited a mouthful of blood. Then he raised his tear-stained face and shouted at Li Wuxin, “Manor Lord, it’s bad, it’s bad. The barrier you set up above Colorful Butterfly Town has been broken! When the ferocious spirits rushed out, the senior martial brothers used their flesh and blood to create a barrier, temporarily preventing the ferocious spirits in the town from escaping. But … the thirty senior martial brothers of my Blue Billows Manor who were guarding the barrier have all died.
He gasped for breath, then suddenly howled.
“Manor Lord! Quickly report this to all the cultivation sects in the upper cultivation world! All the dead people in that town are being controlled. It’s a forbidden technique, a forbidden technique! ”
“What!?”
Li Wuxin staggered back and bumped into a pillar. His whole body was as pale and haggard as a corpse that had just fallen out of a coffin.
“We won’t be able to hold on by ourselves …” The disciple’s face was stained with blood and snot. “Manor Lord!”
He suddenly saw Xue Zhengyong and repeatedly kowtowed to him.
“Sect Leader Xue, I beg you to come with us! My Senior Martial Brothers … I … I’m sorry … “He mumbled incoherently for a while, then suddenly closed his eyes and looked up at the sky in grief.
“They’re all … all dead!”
There was a moment of dead silence in the main hall, then an uproar ensued.
Xue Zhengyong didn’t panic in the face of danger. He immediately ordered Madame Wang to notify the rest of the eight major cultivation sects in the upper cultivation world and ordered Xue Meng to gather all the elders.
“Chu Wanning?”
“There’s no time to delay. I’ll go first.”
“But you don’t know the Art of Sword Control …”
Before Chu Wanning could answer, Mo Ran rushed over. He really wanted to meet the guy who “mastered” the exquisite Go game.
“Uncle, don’t worry. I’ll control the sword and go with Master.”
Chu Wanning glanced at him, but didn’t say anything. It was a tacit agreement.
The two of them walked out of the hall together. Shi Mei stood in place for a while with a pale face. Suddenly, he regained his senses and said, “I, I also …”
But when they ran out of the Shaman Mountain Hall, Chu Wanning and the others were already far away on their swords. Coincidentally, Xue Zhengyong told him to come back and not to run around by himself. Shi Mei had no choice but to turn back and look for Xue Meng, waiting for Xue Meng and the others to leave with the second group.
Li Wuxin had lived like a prince for a long time in the Blue Pool Manor. He had never encountered such a big event. But the old man still wanted to save face. He took a deep breath and immediately ordered people to take care of the disciple who delivered the letter. He also sent a message to the rest of the elders of his sect, telling them to also gather troops and prepare to go to the Colorful Butterfly Town again to restore their dignity.
A group of people walked out of the Peak of Life and Death in a grandiose manner. Like hundreds of shooting stars, they flew from the Peak of Life and Death to the Colorful Butterfly Town. Li Wuxin stood at the head of his sword and walked among the clouds. He couldn’t help but secretly size up the disciples of the number one sect in the lower cultivation world with the corner of his eyes.
He never expected that there would be a day when he would be leading his troops into battle. Unexpectedly, he would be on the same side as this “motley crew” that he looked down on the most. For a moment, his mood was a bit complicated.
However, the sword traveled a thousand miles in the blink of an eye. The clouds in front of him were split open and a beam of blood-red evil light soared into the sky. Li Wuxin was no longer in the mood to care about the difference between the upper and lower worlds of cultivators —
In the sky, a red light formation as big as the entire Colorful Butterfly Town was constantly flashing. The huge formation was divided into a neat checkerboard grid by the beam of light. On the checkerboard, the shadows of the dead townspeople were floating in the air like wooden and clay sculptures. There were five hundred families and over a thousand residents. Looking at it, it looked like a lush jungle of human flesh.
Li Wuxin cried out involuntarily, “This, this is really … the Exquisite Chess Game!”
Xue Zhengyong’s complexion was also extremely unsightly. He said to Li Wuxin, “Villa Master Li, I’ll take people to the southeast. I’ll have to trouble you to go to the northwest. The people from the other eight sects haven’t arrived yet. Colorful Butterfly Town will have to rely on us to hold on for a while.”
Li Wuxin really didn’t have the mood to care about the “us”. He nodded and said, “Okay, okay.”
Xue Zhengyong cupped his fists towards him, and then descended with his sword, leading the others to descend from the sky, one after another landing in the southeast part of Colorful Butterfly Town. The protective barrier formed by the disciples of Blue Pool Manor using their flesh and blood was already on the verge of collapse, and its aura was extremely weak. Through the translucent barrier, one could see the rioting group of corpses inside.
“Chu Wanning!”
Seeing a man in white fluttering clothes and a young man in blue and silver light armor standing in front of him, Xue Zhengyong shouted, “What’s wrong? Can’t this barrier be repaired? ”
Chu Wanning had been here for a long time. The world’s number one barrier master was here, but this barrier was still in a damaged state. Xue Zhengyong was very confused.
Unexpectedly, Chu Wanning ignored him. Just as Xue Zhengyong was about to call again, Mo Ran suddenly turned around and gestured at him.
“Shh, uncle, don’t make a sound. Come here. ”
Xue Zhengyong walked over and asked, “What do you mean?”
“Don’t disturb him.”
Mo Ran pointed at Chu Wanning.
Although he was standing, his eyes were closed. His lips were pale, without a trace of blood.
Xue Zhengyong was shocked. He used his finger to touch the side of his neck and said in horror, “Soul Separation Technique?”
“Yes, there are ghosts inside, thousands of them, but I can’t see Luo Xianxian. She should be in the innermost part. The matter hasn’t been investigated yet. He doesn’t know what the person behind this is going to do this time, so he wants to find Luo Xianxian and ask her himself. ”
“They’re all ghosts, what’s the point of asking?!” Xue Zhengyong slapped his thigh in anger. “It’s more important to strengthen the barrier!”
“Absolutely not!” Mo Ran said sternly. “Master used the Soul Separation Technique to temporarily separate his soul and enter the barrier because it’s full of dead people. This way, he won’t alert the enemy. If we strengthen the barrier now, it’ll kill Master! ”
“What?!” Xue Zhengyong hurriedly said, “Nephew, you stay here and guard. I’ll go talk to Li Wuxin!”
Mo Ran nodded and said, “If Master’s soul returns, I’ll immediately use the blue spell to light it up in the air. At that time, I’ll seal the east, south, west, and north together. But if I don’t light it up, uncle, you must not let them repair the barrier. Otherwise, thousands of ghosts will devour Master’s soul and he won’t be able to protect himself. ”
“I know, I know!” Before Xue Zhengyong finished speaking, he had already dashed out.
Mo Ran raised his eyes and looked at the barrier that was about to collapse.
“It’s about time, Master. You should have found Luo Xianxian by now.”
He turned his face and held Chu Wanning’s cold hand naturally out of worry. However, he didn’t notice it at all. He stared at Chu Wanning and said softly.
“Soon …”
At this time, Shi Mei, Xue Meng, and the others landed and stood in the crowd. Unexpectedly, as soon as they raised their heads, they saw the two people in front of the barrier with their hands clasped together. He was stunned at first, then his face turned pale. He bit his lips and slowly turned his head away.
