Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Just retreat to the formation. As long as Song Qingming and the others can protect the center of the formation, Chen Yurong and the other two will definitely not be able to do anything to them in a short period of time even with the help of Yin and Yang, water and fire.

After hearing Song Qingming's suggestion, Xia Mo ignored it, took out an ordinary-looking silver talisman from her body and placed it in front of herself, then closed her eyes and concentrated on casting the spell.

"Fellow Daoist Song, my Mysterious Ice Pearl can't hold them back for long. You should retreat back to the formation first!"

Seeing that Xia Mo had made up her mind, Song Qingming did not insist any longer. He turned into a beam of light and flashed back into the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation".

"You are just trying to delay time here with just a Mysterious Ice Pearl. Junior Sister Xia, you really underestimate us!"

Chen Yurong and Wu Xiang, as Xia Mo's fellow senior brothers, naturally had some understanding of her magical powers and treasures.

Seeing Xia Mo using the magic weapon "Xuanbingzhu", the two of them immediately took out their own targeted magic weapons and began to work together to fiercely attack the weakest part of the ice wall in front of them.

Although the magic weapon "Xuanbingzhu" could block the yin and yang, water and fire outside, it was difficult to stop their targeted attacks. Chen Yurong and Wu Xiang used the magic weapon to attack fiercely in less than half a quarter of an hour, and they created dozens of cracks on the ice wall in front of them.

"Haha! Junior Sister Xia, this Mysterious Ice Pearl is no longer useful. Let's see if you have any other tricks that can stop us."

Seeing that the ice wall in front of him was already crumbling, Chen Yurong laughed loudly and released a third-level intermediate-grade talisman in his hand. It directly transformed into a fiery red spear in mid-air and fell on the ice wall.

There was a loud bang, and the ice wall protecting Xia Mo shattered right in front of Chen Yurong and Wu Xiang.

Just as Chen Yurong was controlling the flying sword magic weapon and was about to continue attacking Xia Mo in front of her, she unexpectedly felt a strange breath coming from Xia Mo, which made her stop involuntarily.

At this moment, Xia Mo's originally dark eyes suddenly showed a hint of blood red, and the white veil that had been on her face was gone, revealing a beautiful jade face.

The yin and yang, water and fire all around, immediately rushed towards Xia Mo because there was no ice wall to block them, but they were isolated outside the shield released by her spell and could not get close at all.

"This is... could it be a soul-transforming talisman?"

"Impossible, what on earth is going on? How could Master easily hand over the Soul Transformation Talisman that she treasures so much to you?"

Seeing Xia Mo in front of her, Chen Yurong stood there in a daze. She was a little dazed for a moment and didn't dare to take another step forward.

Wu Xiang on the other side was also a little surprised when he saw the changes in Xia Mo. However, he didn't seem to know what the "Spirit Transformation Talisman" Chen Yurong mentioned was. He even tried to remind Chen Yurong who didn't dare to take any action.

"Yurong, we have no way out today. No matter what magical powers she has, we cannot stop here!"

After hearing Wu Xiang's reminder, Chen Yurong came back to her senses, and her eyes immediately revealed a very determined look.

"You are right. She must die today. Even if it is really Master's soul-transforming talisman, it is impossible to save her life."

After saying that, Chen Yurong and Wu Xiang each controlled their own magic weapons and launched an attack towards Xia Mo's location, but the next moment, to their shock, Xia Mo's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot in a flash of light.

Before Wu Xiang and the other man could react, Xia Mo had already appeared above their heads.

At this moment, she had an often-used magic weapon, a flower basket, in her hand. It released thousands of petals at once, directly trapping Wu Xiang and the other person in the sea of ​​flowers.

Upon seeing this, Wu Xiang and Chen Yurong hurriedly used their magic weapons to desperately resist the sharp petals, trying to break free and escape from the sea of ​​flowers.

However, what made them despair was that the petals in the flower basket in front of Xia Mo seemed endless. As she cast spells, the petals became more and more, making it impossible for Wu Xiang and the others to escape.

Song Qingming, who was in the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation", was also shocked when he saw this sudden scene, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

The strength displayed by Xia Mo at this moment was a world of difference compared to her before. Her cultivation had already exceeded the scope of a Jindan cultivator and seemed to be approaching that of a Yuanying cultivator.

"What on earth is this soul-transforming talisman that Chen Yurong mentioned, that can actually allow Xia Mo to instantly possess the strength comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"Junior Sister Xia, I was wrong. Please take me back to see Master. I will admit my mistake to her and will never argue with you again."

In less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Yurong, who was trapped in the sea of ​​flowers, was already in a panic due to the sharp petals.

She was no longer able to fight back, but she actually took the initiative to beg for mercy from Xia Mo who was not far away, completely losing her previous ferocious look.

Wu Xiang, who was beside her, was also in a bad condition. His body was covered with wounds and it was obvious that he could not hold on for much longer.

“Yurong, since we have chosen this path, it is useless to beg for mercy now. Even if we return to the sect, Master will never forgive us given his temper.

All of this is our own fault, we cannot blame others.

Since God has destined us to have no chance to condense our Nascent Soul, it will only mean we live a hundred years less. There is nothing to be afraid of.

I will help you open a gap later. If you have a chance to escape, you must escape as far as possible and live well! "

After Wu Xiang comforted Chen Yurong, he took out a golden ball with a determined look.

"Wait! If you use the golden thunder at such a close distance, we will also be affected. Let me beg Junior Sister Xia again. Maybe she will let us go for Master's sake."

When Chen Yurong saw the "Golden Lightning" in Wu Xiang's hand, she immediately knew what he was going to do and quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Alas! You still don't understand Junior Sister Xia. She has already given us a chance, but we failed to grasp it. Junior Sister Xia has always been a very decisive person. When have you ever seen her change her decision so easily?

Yurong, you also know that this is a life-and-death struggle, don't hold on to your luck. Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt, just leave and don't worry about me. "

After Wu Xiang shook his head slightly at Chen Yurong, he cast a spell and poured his remaining magic power into the "Golden Thunder" in his hand, controlling it to hit the petals outside.

This "Golden Thunder" is a high-level talisman that is more powerful than a third-grade top-grade talisman. Even a third-grade top-grade magic weapon is difficult to defend against when it is used. It was specially prepared by Wu Xiang for the purpose of killing Xia Mo this time.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly. Xia Mo's strength suddenly increased and forced the two of them into a desperate situation. Now he can only use it to escape.

There was only a loud bang, and the cage formed by the sea of ​​flowers was blown open by the sudden explosion.

Xia Mo, who was controlling the magic flower basket in mid-air, was also shaken by the sudden explosion and her spell was interrupted.

Just as Xia Mo had steadied herself and was about to cast a spell to seal the gap, a ray of purple light flew out from the gap and headed out of the formation, soon disappearing into a mountain wall.

Seeing this scene, Xia Mo's face did not show too much surprise. She just waved her hand and took out a flying sword magic weapon, and swung the sword directly upwards, creating a crack above the entire "Yin Yang Baji Formation".

Afterwards, Xia Mo used his sword to cut a hole in the sky, and in a flash he arrived high in the sky outside the formation.

Seeing Xia Mo break the formation with one sword, Song Qingming, who was hiding in the "Tian Gang Five Elements Formation", was shocked by her divine power.

Seeing the rare opportunity to escape, Song Qingming did not hesitate any longer. He quickly flew and followed Xia Mo to escape from the "Yin Yang Baji Formation".

Chen Yurong, who had just escaped from the formation, had not run far towards the horizon when she saw Xia Mo appear in mid-air. She was immediately horrified and quickly used a talisman to speed up her escape.

However, although her speed was fast, it was not half as fast as Xia Mo. She had just escaped for less than twenty miles when she was blocked by Xia Mo in front.

Seeing Xia Mo in front of her, Chen Yurong's face suddenly showed a bit of despair. She didn't even have the courage to pick up the magic weapon to resist. She could only kneel down and beg for mercy:
"Junior Sister Xia, I really regret this. Please let me go this time for Master's sake. I promise I will never appear in front of you again!"

"Big sister, have a safe journey. I will take care of everything with Master!"

After Xia Mo said this calmly, before Chen Yurong could react, the flying sword in her hand had already turned into a beam of sword light and flew towards her rapidly.

The attack was extremely swift and there was no hesitation at all.

Even though Zhao Yurong took out a silver shield in time to protect herself, it was still pierced by Xia Mo's flying sword, and the defensive magic weapon was instantly destroyed.

Seeing the big hole in front of her, Chen Yurong raised her hand and pointed at Xia Mo with some reluctance, but in the end she didn't say a word. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, she fell directly to the ground from mid-air.

Seeing this, Xia Mo directly released a streamer that she had prepared in advance, rolled up Chen Yurong's body, and put it into a storage magic tool. Then Xia Mo turned around and returned to "Yulong Mountain".

As soon as she came back, Xia Mo saw two figures fighting in the air not far away. They were Song Qingming and the white-haired old man who controlled the "Yin Yang Baji Formation".

Seeing Xia Mo break the formation with two swords, the white-haired old man who was controlling the formation outside also hurriedly dropped the formation flag in his hand and tried to fly away, but was caught by Song Qingming who escaped a step later. This white-haired old man of the eighth level of Jindan had a slightly higher cultivation level than Song Qingming, but in addition to being proficient in the art of formation, his magical powers in fighting were very average among late Jindan cultivators.

After fighting with Song Qingming, who was at the seventh level of the Golden Core, for dozens of rounds, not only did he fail to gain the upper hand, but he was instead beaten so passively by Song Qingming that he had no chance of escaping.

Seeing that Xia Mo had turned back, the white-haired old man became even more panicked. He hurriedly used a golden talisman to force Song Qingming back and wanted to escape directly.

However, he had just escaped less than a few dozen feet when he was stopped by a large man dressed in black. It was "Jinfeng" who Song Qingming had commanded in advance to stop him.

The white-haired old man had no choice but to fight with "Golden Wind". Before he could defeat his opponent, Song Qingming came up to him again. He was unable to escape for a while and was soon caught up by Xia Mo who came to help.

Facing an eighth-level Jindan cultivator, Xia Mo looked at the white-haired old man with disdain in his eyes, and turned the flying sword in his hand towards the white-haired old man with all his might.

With just one sword, Xia Mo broke through the opponent's defensive magic and destroyed a jade defensive magic weapon in the white-haired old man's hand.

Seeing that Xia Mo's magical powers suddenly became so powerful, the white-haired old man immediately lost the courage to continue resisting. He gritted his teeth and spurted out a cloud of blood mist from his mouth. Then he turned into a blood-colored escape light and suddenly flew away a hundred feet away.

Seeing that this white-haired old man actually possessed such a powerful life-saving ability, Song Qingming's face was slightly surprised. When he was about to step forward to chase him, a gust of wind suddenly blew past him, and Xia Mo had turned into a white light and chased after him.

The life-saving magic power displayed by the white-haired old man, although the speed of escape was not much slower than Song Qingming's "Nine Palaces Meteor Escape", was still not enough in front of Xia Mo at this time.

He had only run for less than ten miles when he was caught up by Xia Mo. Before he could block Xia Mo's two swords, he was killed in mid-air.

"Fellow Daoist Song, I'll leave this to you!"

After killing the white-haired old man, Xia Mo didn't care about the things on his body. After nodding slightly to Song Qingming who arrived a step later, he turned around and flew back.

Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately understood and nodded to her, then raised his hand and took the storage bag from the white-haired old man's body.

Although he did not kill this person, since Xia Mo was willing to give the things on the white-haired old man to him, Song Qingming did not hesitate to be polite with her.

This time, because of He Mengxin's disappearance, Song Qingming was framed by Chen Yurong and others for no reason and almost died here. Xia Mo's move was also intended to compensate him.

Although this white-haired old man was a casual cultivator and did not have any powerful magic weapon on him, it was still a storage bag of a late Jindan cultivator, and the things inside should not disappoint him.

Song Qingming, holding the storage bag, searched the white-haired old man carefully again before casting a spell and spitting out a breath of fire that burned the entire body of the white-haired old man into ashes.

By the time Song Qingming returned to "Yulong Mountain", Xia Mo had completely destroyed the entire "Yin Yang Baji Formation" and came to Wu Xiang, who was seriously injured and unable to get out of the formation.

Previously, in order to help Chen Yurong fight for a chance to escape, Wu Xiang did not hesitate to launch the "Golden Lightning" head-on at close range, but he himself was severely injured by the backlash of the lightning, and even his right arm was blown to pieces on the spot.

Seeing Xia Mo walking towards him, Wu Xiang's expression was very calm at this moment, without any fear at all.

“I have locked up Junior Sister He and Junior Sister Han in a hidden magic circle at the back of the village. You should be able to find them soon after you go there.

Don't worry, we didn't hurt them, we just temporarily restricted their freedom of movement. We just need to follow this method to remove the restrictions in their bodies and they will wake up immediately."

After Wu Xiang finished speaking, he used his remaining left hand to touch the storage device and took out a scroll of bamboo slips, which he slowly placed in front of Xia Mo.

After taking the bamboo slips and taking a look at them, Xia Mo nodded slightly to Wu Xiang in front of him, and then calmly asked, "Brother, do you have anything else to say to Master?"

"Your elder sister and I fell in love with each other back then and wanted to be Taoist partners for life, but our master didn't allow it for the sake of her own path, and that wasted hundreds of years of our time.

Thinking about it now, if the master had not stopped us back then, perhaps she and I could have become a loving couple, and she wouldn't be like she is now, with only spiritual practice in her eyes, which eventually led her to where she is today.

I don't hate Master. I know she did this for your senior sister's good, but I think she was really wrong in this matter.

Junior Sister Xia, I would like to ask you one last favor. After we return to our sect, if Master agrees, please bury your Senior Sister and me in the peach blossom forest at the back of the mountain.

She loved the peach blossoms there the most when she was alive, and would always go there for a walk when she was upset. Let her rest there forever!"

"Brother Wu, rest assured. I will try my best to help you accomplish this." After hearing Wu Xiang's last words, Xia Mo stood there in silence for a moment, then spoke softly and agreed to the matter.

"Thank you, Junior Sister Xia, for your help. Now I have no regrets.

After practicing for hundreds of years, one will eventually return to this dust. For people like me who have no hope in the path of immortality, the so-called path of cultivation is nothing more than hundreds of years of loneliness endured by ordinary people.

If there is an afterlife, I would rather be an ordinary mortal and have a good partner for my whole life."

When Wu Xiang heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his bloody mouth, and then he raised his left hand and slapped his crown hard.

After a slight sound of bones breaking, Wu Xiang's hands slowly dropped and he soon closed his eyes.

Seeing Wu Xiang who had already died on his own in front of him, Xia Mo's eyes flashed with a hint of pity, but she soon regained her clarity and cast a spell to release a streamer that rolled his body directly into the storage magic weapon.

After putting away Wu Xiang's body, Xia Mo turned around and saw Song Qingming standing not far away and watching the scene.

"Fairy Xia, please accept my condolences!" Seeing Xia Mo's eyes suddenly staring at him, Song Qingming was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, he spoke softly to comfort her.

Although Xia Mo was forced to kill Chen Yurong and Wu Xiang, these two people were her fellow brothers and sisters who had been with her for many years. In Song Qingming's opinion, Xia Mo should be feeling uncomfortable at this moment.

But Xia Mo's face always looked calm.

"I hope that you can help me keep the matter between Senior Brother Wu and Senior Sister Chen a secret and not mention what happened today to anyone else. Can you promise me, Brother Song?"

Song Qingming nodded immediately after hearing this and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. I was just implicated here for no reason. Please rest assured, Fairy. I know what to do.

But I still have a question in my mind. Before I set out for Chiyanfang that day, the fairy had said to stop me from following her. Did you already have a premonition of what would happen today and warned me?"

Hearing Song Qingming's question, Xia Mo stared at him with a hint of surprise in her eyes. After a while, she nodded and said:
“You guessed right. Before I set out to the Floating Cloud Mountains, I already felt that someone was following me, but I was never sure who that person was.

Along the way, Senior Brother Wu made several excuses to leave alone to investigate the disappearance of Junior Sister He, which also caught my attention. By the time I met you, I was already very sure that something unexpected must have happened this time.

I didn't want to involve you at that time, so I tried to persuade you kindly. I didn't expect that you would worry about Junior Sister He's safety and insist on coming along.

In order not to alert Brother Wu and the others and let them notice anything, I had no choice but to agree to this matter for the time being.

I didn't mean to not tell you so that you would get involved, it was just because Senior Brother Wu was always by my side at the time, so I couldn't warn you in advance, which led to the situation later."

"If they succeed this time, and kill you, they will need a scapegoat to take the blame. They can then explain the matter to your master when they return.

In fact, from the very beginning, they chose to attack Fellow Daoist He in Qinghe County. Wu Xiang and his men had already planned for me to be involved. Even if I didn't want to come that day, I'm afraid he wouldn't let me go easily. I should be right!"

Song Qingming gave a bitter smile and asked Xia Mo who was standing beside him. After a moment, he saw her nodded in silence.

Chen Yurong and Wu Xiangmou finally lured Xia Mo to the Floating Cloud Mountains, planning to join forces with the white-haired old man to kill her here, and then put the blame on the nearby Song family.

What they didn't expect was that this matter had already aroused Xia Mo's vigilance from the very beginning, and in the end she used the same trick to lure Chen Yurong and others out, solving all the troubles behind it at once.

Thinking of this, Song Qingming couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Xia Mo is a person who not only has outstanding talent in cultivation, but also has a mind that is frighteningly sharp.

With such careful planning by Chen Yurong and Wu Xiang, if it were an ordinary person, they would have probably died by now.

But Xia Mo was able to see through their conspiracy from some details in advance, which not only made them fail in the end, but also allowed Xia Mo to take the opportunity to catch them all.

It cannot be said that Chen Yurong and Wu Xiang were not well prepared, it’s just a pity that they chose the wrong opponents.

"Fellow Daoist Song, from the moment I entered the formation, I was confident that I could break through it. The reason I didn't do anything was that I wanted to lure them out as soon as possible."

After hearing Song Qingming's self-mockery, Xia Mo comforted him with one hand, gently waved it across her face, put on the white veil that had covered her face before, turned around and turned into a beam of light and flew to the back of the village. (End of this chapter)
