Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 478 Execution
On the leaves.

After the four Yuanying cultivators appeared, including Cheng Bingyan, they saluted to the other cultivators in the field at the same time.

Qingyangzi represented Futu Zhenren to pay his respects.

"Futu Island is very prosperous today and is glad to welcome guests from all directions. Hello, fellow Taoists!"

All the monks who were scattered on the leaves in the field, whether they were standing or sitting before, stood up at this moment.

Including the most unruly Prince Honghe, everyone stood up and returned the greeting.

No matter how arrogant he is, he is not stupid. This is on the territory of Futu Island, under the watchful eyes of many forces.

If anyone embarrasses the Buddha, he will find a way to make him lose his life afterwards.

He glanced at Cheng Bingyan, then turned his head to look at the newly-acquired concubine Mo, and thought to himself that she was not as beautiful as my concubine.

"Prince Long Bing" glanced at Cheng Bingyan a few more times, muttering in his heart that she is so cold, would his second brother be able to suppress her if he married her?

Yin Yiji looked straight ahead and did not pay much attention to Cheng Bingyan. For him, if the sect needed her, he would marry her.

What if I can’t marry her?
Ha, how is that possible? As long as it’s a fair competition, it will definitely be his.

Unlike the previous three people, Shuai Bufan looked at Cheng Bingyan a few more times and his face turned red - this girl and I have a great destiny.

I am rich and good-looking, the fairy is both beautiful and talented, and behind us are the two major sects, the Haiyan Sect and the Futu Island. We are a perfect match!

In addition, there are young talents from other forces who also focus most of their attention and vision on Cheng Bingyan.

On the leaves, Cheng Bingyan twisted her body slightly. The cultivators had sharp spiritual senses, and with so many scrutinizing eyes cast at her, if she hadn't brought a spiritual weapon to defend against spiritual senses, she would have made a fool of herself.

No... She smiled bitterly in her heart. She had already made the mistake a year ago, which was why she had fallen to this point.

When it came to the meeting to select Taoist companions, my father did not even ask for my opinion. Even though I begged him earnestly, saying that he wanted to devote himself to Taoism and no longer wanted to be entangled in love affairs between men and women, my father firmly refused.

In fact, choosing a Taoist partner depends entirely on my father's wishes. I have no autonomy at all.

She looked up.

Under the canopy of the towering tree, although my father is in seclusion, I believe that at this moment he is also using the power of the towering tree to scan the entire place with his spiritual sense, right?

Nothing that happened here escaped his eyes.

Cheng Bingyan suddenly felt cold all over. She thought that her father, who doted on her, did not love her as purely as she thought.

She suddenly realized - I was just the lucky one among his descendants who had the spiritual roots to practice Taoism.

Fairy Cheng Bingyan is here.

It was Du Wan, who was standing on the side among the Four Yuanyings. He swept the entire audience with his sharp eyes.

He didn't even look at the Yuanying geniuses from the four top forces. Strictly speaking, he was also a genius of Futu Island.

Not to mention the sea creatures whose lifespan is longer than that of humans.

In terms of age alone, he, Yin Yiji and Shuai Bufan are actually of the same generation and age, and they all achieved Nascent Soul stage at a young age.

If Master Futu had not had his concerns, he would have actually wanted to marry Cheng Bingyan at the beginning. Why would it be the turn of a group of Jindan disciples to compete for it?
Now, it may even be a bargain for outsiders...

When Du Wan thought of this, the corners of his mouth twitched, his eyes became sinister, and he swept towards the area where the scattered cultivators gathered.

Did the fake "Silver-handed Scholar" also come to the scene?
He could hardly hold back his anger when he thought about how he had spent so much effort organizing his men and how he had gone through so much trouble to find clues to the Dragon Palace, only to have an impostor reaping most of the benefits.

It turns out that Du Wan had made great contributions to Futu Island in the past, but he met a strong enemy and his arm was broken, which damaged his foundation. However, he also got clues about the Dragon Palace from the enemy.

He returned to the sect to ask for the marrow fluid of the cantharides tree to replenish his foundation.

Master Futu refused the request, saying that the towering tree was at a critical moment of its evolution and extracting its marrow fluid would cause great harm. From then on, he was completely disappointed with the sect.

Du Wan knew that he was no match for his opponent, so he pretended to be understanding and reasonable. Not only did he not complain, he also gave him half-truths about the clues to the Dragon Palace, leaving a trick up his sleeve.

Seeing his disciple was so loyal and righteous, Master Futu was deeply moved, so he asked an old man from the East China Sea to repair the Yuanying mechanism to make him a water dragon arm that was comparable to a magic weapon to replace his broken arm.

Du Wan worked hard to cultivate the Water Dragon Arm and earned a reputation as a man who could cover the sky with one hand.

Secretly, he ignored the injuries on his body, and painstakingly forced several great cultivators to surrender. He placed restrictions on their brains, and ordered them to search for the fragments of the seven-colored dragon scales before entering the retreat.

There are three fragments, which can be put together to form a sea map that can guide everyone to find the real Dragon Palace.

Before Du Wan went into seclusion, he had already explained everything to his disciple Liu Feng, and he believed that everything was foolproof.

Ten years ago, the Double-Winged Snake and the Yin-Yang Sword worked together to find the second fragment.

Now, the fake Silver Hand Scholar and the Idiot Miyan Taoist have found the third piece.

As for the first piece of fragment... it is on the second two-winged snake. The reason why the two-winged snake was able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage so quickly was that it integrated the first piece of dragon scale fragment into its own scales, and it became the reverse scale under its chin.

Who knew something would go wrong at the last moment.

Du Wan practices in seclusion for 360 cycles a year, after which he wakes up once to receive external messages with his spiritual consciousness.

He knew that Taoist Miyan had gone to Bilang Cape two years ago and had no news from him since.

Taoist Liufeng was ordered to inform Scholar Yinshou to look for it.

Du Wan continued to meditate and didn't take it seriously.

Taoist Miyan is dead, and Scholar Yinshou is still there to take over. The most important thing is to find the dragon scale fragments.

Even if the two thugs were dead, he could only subdue a few newcomers.

As a result, when he woke up from his meditation after completing his practice, he found that the restriction in the Silver Hand Scholar's brain had been triggered and he was doomed to die.

But Liufeng reported back that the Scholar of Silver Hands and the Taoist of Miyan came with the Yin-Yang Sword, claiming that they had obtained the third scale.

That's weird. How could the dead Silver-Handed Scholar come back to life? This must be a fake. Most likely, the guy who killed the Silver-Handed Scholar is pretending to be him.

In addition, there was the troublesome second-in-command, the two-winged snake, who went crazy and plundered in the open sea on the big day of Futu Island, but was unexpectedly captured by the Iron Swordsman and the Cloud Piercer and brought to the island.

It is said that they will kill him as a sacrifice!
Du Wan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

This time there were two fatal situations.

Fortunately, Taoist Liufeng reported that Taoist Miyan was arranged to sneak into the kitchen of the island. If the two-winged snake was chopped, its body would also enter the kitchen, and he could take it down when the opportunity arises.

But last night he was still thinking about how to protect himself and had no intention of coming out.

He used the spirit-splitting technique he had cultivated to create a wisp of spirit, which attached itself to Taoist Liufeng, and decided to deal with the fake Silver Hand Scholar first.

Then deal with the "reverse scale" on the two-winged snake.

Unexpectedly, Taoist Liufeng asked him to distract himself and left only an hour later.

He spat out a mouthful of blood in his retreat cave, his spirit body was torn apart, and he fell to the ground seriously injured.

Du Wan was shocked to find that his spiritual power had been destroyed. Taoist Liufeng must have been killed by the fake Silver Hand Scholar. Even the Yin-Yang Sword might not be safe.

Only then did he leave in anger.

Sure enough, today a Jindan cultivator brought back Liufeng’s headless corpse, as well as the fragments of the Yin-Yang Sword’s dual swords.

Du Wan was shocked and angry, but he had to endure it in front of others.

The art of distraction is not a panacea.

The wisp of soul he chose can carry some of his memories and magical powers, but it is not the same as seeing is getting. That is something that requires a higher level to attempt.

How did the fake Silver Hand Scholar kill his clone?
His body of Liufeng Jindan restricted his ability to use the towering swordsmanship, but he had the spell of the Heart-Severing Sword. According to common sense, even a Jindan Great Perfection cultivator should have been defeated.

Thinking about the broken fragments of the Yin-Yang Swords, could it be that the fake Silver Hand Scholar was really some Nascent Soul cultivator who was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger and got involved?

Du Wan frowned when he thought of this.

His troubles don't end there.

He was ready to give up the two-winged snake as long as he could get back the reverse scale.

But his disciple Taoist Liufeng is dead, and he, a Nascent Soul, can’t possibly go and arrange such “small” matters, right?
Du Wan just felt his heart rising with anger, blaming all his anger on the fake Silver Hand Scholar.

He narrowed his eyes and scanned the room.

At this moment, there were probably thousands or even tens of thousands of monks sitting on the thousands of leaves.

Counterfeit...just pray that it doesn't fall into my hands!
No one noticed that there was a dragon whisker wrapped around the five fingers of Du Wan's mechanical water dragon arm, which was glowing faintly - as long as this person dared to reveal a trace of dragon scale fragment information on the island, he could use secret methods to capture the person's approximate location.

Not to mention what Cheng Bingyan and Du Wan were thinking.

Qingyangzi saluted the practitioners on behalf of Futu Island. After everyone returned the salute, Qingyangzi asked everyone to take a seat.

Everyone sat down on the leaves, which trembled slightly, and there was another rustling sound, like the sound of waves hitting the island.

Lu Ye looked around and saw nearly ten thousand monks gathered on an island.

If the towering tree formation of Futu Island were activated at this time, and we were to push it in... wow, that would be a lot of fun.

Qingyangzi bowed again and said a few polite words first.

"This time, all of you fellow Taoists have come to participate in the selection meeting for the Taoist companion for my teacher, Immortal Buddha's beloved daughter, Fairy Bingyan. This is a grand event in the East China Sea."

"But there are always some despicable people who take advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble and do evil."

He frowned suddenly and waved his hand downwards.

"Drag it up..."

There was a squirming sound at the base of the towering tree roots. In full view of everyone, the thick vertical roots seemed to come alive, twisting and stretching in all directions, finally revealing a large black hole.

When the cave door opens.

An eerie aura rushed out from inside, accompanied by a faint mixture of screams from many people.

There was a foreign monk sitting on the leaves nearby. He suddenly felt a bad air coming towards him. His body trembled slightly and his face turned pale.

Fortunately, this wave came and went quickly, and soon disappeared between heaven and earth.

Then, a rumbling sound was heard from inside the big hole. Soon, a huge object made up of countless thin tree roots, about half a meter thick and long, emerged from the tree hole.

It coils and rises like a spirit snake.

The cultivators on the field had an unobstructed view and could see a mermaid entangled under the mottled and cracked bark at the tips of the countless swirling tree roots.

No, to be more precise, it was a sea monster that was more than ten meters long that was wrapped, pierced, and sucked blood by numerous tree roots.

The mermaid's body was more than ten feet long, and most of it was wrapped in tree roots, with only half of it exposed, with its wings drooping. There were countless fine branches weaving through its wings, and green leaves growing on its flesh, which looked even more enchanting after being stained with red blood.

The tree roots rose more than ten feet high and stopped at Qingyangzi's feet.

Its lowered head was also revealed to the cultivators. Its snake-like face was covered with brown scales, and it had a small horn on its forehead. It seemed to be unconscious, but the pressure it unconsciously radiated clearly told the cultivators that it was a Nascent Soul-level sea monster.

"Prince Long Bing" of the King Snake Palace frowned slightly.

She first noticed that this was a pure-blooded black water king snake, a close relative of their own deep sea king snake.

Prince Honghe of the Evil God Temple licked his lips when he saw it. His followers who were familiar with him knew that their master was probably greedy.

The other practitioners were whispering to each other.

"Who is this real person?"

"Is it the double-winged snake, the eleventh thief who killed the visiting fleets of Jiugong Island, Tianqingdao, etc.?"

"Hiss... this guy is so bold!"

Qingyangzi waved his hand.

A Jindan disciple immediately stepped forward, holding a long whip with inverted teeth and blood stains in his hand, and swung it fiercely.

Snapped!
The whip landed on the mermaid's face.

Suddenly blood splattered everywhere!
"Roar……"

The siren screamed in pain and finally came to consciousness. It struggled for a while, and a surge of demonic power burst out. Its eyes opened, its neck turned quickly, and it stared fiercely at the whip-wielding disciple with its yellow pupils.

A savage and primitive aura erupted, shocking the disciple so much that he took a few steps back.

at this time.

The branches that bound it suddenly lit up green and trembled.

The two-winged snake screamed and its entire body twitched as if it had been electrocuted. The blood and essence from countless wounds were sucked away by the branches.

The demonic power and momentum he had just gathered suddenly dropped, and he was left with only the strength to scream miserably.

All the practitioners in the field were shocked.

This was a Nascent Soul cultivator, the top of the pyramid of cultivators in everyone's eyes. Yet he was tortured in public, as miserable as a weak chicken. How could he have any dignity left?

Futu Island is so majestic!

Lu Ye searched through Madam Jiuchai's memory and confirmed that the black water king snake that was humiliated and tortured to death in public was none other than the eleventh calamity cultivator, the double-winged snake.

The wings of the double-winged snake were about to be destroyed, and were firmly grasped by the roots of the towering tree, and the little demonic power it had gathered was sucked away.

Now it looks like fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

He had no sympathy. Futu Island wanted to establish its power, and the two-winged snake was robbing and eating people, and it ran into the gun. It did not deserve death.

Lu Yemo used the fish-dragon picture's perspective to look carefully at the two-winged snake.

The Yin-Yang Sword had originally arranged that the Double-Winged Snake wanted to see the person alive or dead, so he contacted Taoist Liufeng and arranged for Taoist Miyan to stay in the Immortal Kitchen on Futu Island.

Taoist Liufeng will use his authority to arrange for Taoist Miyan to deal with the corpse of the two-winged snake.

Lu Ye has always guessed that there must be something mysterious on the body of the two-winged snake, and the last piece of debris must be on it.

In addition, Yin Yang Dao revealed that the reason why "Big Brother" could obtain clues about the Dragon Palace was also closely related to the two-winged snake.

The two-winged snake suddenly became enlightened, and his cultivation level increased rapidly to that of Nascent Soul. Putting these things together, it can be concluded that there is something wrong with his body.

From the perspective of an ichthyosaur diagram.

The largest ball of light turned out to be a towering tree. Its light was not bright or dazzling, but huge, so huge that it almost blocked Lu Ye's vision.

He marveled at it, then turned around and focused, ignoring the many other monks' light spots in the field, and only saw the two-winged snake in front of him.

Then he saw that the two-winged snake pierced by the tree root was a ball of dim light, indicating that it was seriously injured.

what……

Lu Ye blinked and looked carefully again.

In the dim green light, there was a faint purple dot as small as a needle tip, the light was so dim that it was almost negligible.

It was even dimmer than the Du Wan's clone attached to Taoist Ri Liufeng, and more than ten times smaller in size. It was really just a dot the size of a needle tip.

Lu Ye exited the perspective of the fish-dragon picture and looked at the two-winged snake with great interest - where on earth was this guy hiding the last piece of colorful dragon scale?

He thought of something and turned to look at Du Wan.

It was seen that this man who could cover the sky with one hand was also staring at the two-winged snake like the other cultivators.

but.

His eyes were burning as he only stared at the crescent-shaped scale growing inversely under the chin and on the throat of the two-winged snake. He didn't care at all about the life or death of the two-winged snake.

Lu Ye followed his gaze, thoughtfully, and felt that he seemed to have found the last piece of the puzzle.

On the field, Qing Yangzi's voice shook the entire island, and he was intimidating without even getting angry.

"This monster is one of the thirty-six thieves of the East China Sea, the eleventh thief, the double-winged snake!"

"They were so bold that they swallowed up the fleets of Jiugong Island, Tianqingdao and other island forces in the Futu Sea."

"My master was furious and ordered his disciples to go out and capture him."

"Today, I will peel off his skin and pull out his tendons in public, and then confine his Nascent Soul to the inner world. I will punish him every year to avenge my fellow Taoists."

"I will punish it by making it a skinless body, soulless skin, and scaleless body, to bear witness to our grand gathering. When the gathering is over, it will be its death!"

Qingyangzi had spoken.

The two-winged snake bound below and Du Wantu, who was perched high on the leaf, both changed their expressions drastically.

Du Wan looked at Qing Yangzi and said anxiously, "Isn't this bad? Is it too harsh and will it affect the reputation of Futu Island?"

The idiot Two-Winged Snake was doomed to die, and he didn't want to save him.

But now they have been skinned and boned and displayed to the public during the entire conference, how can we remove the scales?
Qing Yangzi's spiritual consciousness only said in reply that it was the master's arrangement, and Du Wan was speechless.

The practitioners below began to buzz with discussions.

Master Wang shouted, "Good, evil will be punished!"
Mr. Baicao whispered that it would be a bad idea for Fairy Bingyan to meet someone on her happy day when she was looking for a Taoist partner.
Lu Ye looked at him strangely.

"For ordinary people, seeing red on a wedding day is considered unlucky."

"For us cultivators, the strong are respected."

"Killing this double-winged snake will only show the strength of Futu Island. What's wrong with seeking justice for the murdered Taoist friend?"

Mr. Baicao was speechless.

Master Wang nodded in praise.

Only the weak have to follow the rules, while the strong have no taboos.

Besides, it is impossible for all the cultivators to get along peacefully in order to compete for a Taoist companion. They will definitely fight and shed blood. Why should they be afraid of bad luck?
The two-winged snake was half dead with its head drooping, but when it heard that it was going to be skinned and its tendons pulled out, it shook its head and body in fear, and demonic power burst out of its body, with light emitting from its chest and abdomen, where its Nascent Soul was located.

Obviously, it knew that it could not escape, so it wanted its Nascent Soul to self-destruct and give itself a quick death.

Click, click, click!

As soon as it moved, Qingyangzi made a seal above it.

The branch that the two-winged snake was tied to immediately began to wriggle wildly, with green light blooming and flowing on it, draining away all of its demonic power in the blink of an eye.

Even the Nascent Soul that was emitting bright light in the chest and abdomen dimmed.

puff.

First, a branch came out of his mouth with a "pop", stretching open his mouth full of sharp teeth.

Then several branches opened wide, pulling its limbs apart, and its wings spread out, revealing its soft belly.

On the wound, countless leaves secreted emerald green liquid which seeped into its body.

Several more branches slid down, entwined with each other and spiraled like pointed drills. The tops became sharp and flashed dangerous light.

Whoosh!
Qingyangzi made another seal and a flying fork flew out from behind him, stabbing the double-winged snake's head.

puff!
The Nascent Soul magic weapon easily broke through several scales on the defenseless two-winged snake's head and smashed it to pieces.

A few pointed branches squeezed through the gap.

"what……"

The two-winged snake screamed and struggled frantically, and countless ridges appeared on the skin under its scales.

In full view.

There was a hissing sound.

Countless blood-colored branches pushed out simultaneously.

The two-winged snake let out a terrifying scream, and then a bloody body was slowly and firmly pulled out from the small hole on the top of its head. It took as long as an incense stick of time.

The branch that was deeply embedded in his wound secreted some unknown liquid, which separated his skin and flesh.

Even so, after the entire skin was peeled off, there were still countless pieces of flesh and blood and dozens of long tendons on it, with a mini two-winged snake about a foot in size wrapped in the middle.

It was the demon baby that this demon cultivated through hard training.

The Nascent Soul was about to escape under the scaly skin.

Swish!
Many branches came together to trap it, making it impossible to escape.

Below, the two-winged snake screamed in agony. Its Nascent Soul was pulled out of its body, which meant that its entire cultivation was wasted. Blood gushed out of its mouth, dyeing the tree trunks red.

A bloody mass of flesh, with the outline of a double-winged black water king cobra barely visible, was torn into a five-horse-drawn posture by several branches and was wriggling madly.

And on top of the meat.

A few branches shook, and the peeled skin turned over, revealing the scales outside.

A complete scaly snake skin, with head, tail and wings intact, fluttering in the wind, like a living thing.

All the cultivators in the field were completely silent.

Although I was mentally prepared, I still felt terrified when I saw the flying scales on the branches.

A Nascent Soul demon was skinned just like that?
