Rebirth: Reversal of the Immortal Way

Chapter 25

"Si Ling, those butterfly-faced people don't know which side they are from. It seems that they have already been lurking in the valley waiting for an opportunity to hunt down the monks who came to find the demon lotus. I am a little worried that this situation will happen again. Why don't we act together? It can be regarded as a help." Yue Qianye suggested.

The reason why he made such a suggestion was because two days after entering the valley, Yue Qianye felt that the aura of the demon lotus had suddenly subsided, as if something had isolated the aura, and he could only feel a few wisps of the aura of the demon lotus that were faintly visible. It wasn't enough for her to track her down. Even though Yue Qianye had many magic weapons, she couldn't find the Yaolian for a while.But this time I was ambushed by those butterfly-faced men, knowing their methods, unless I hide in the space, otherwise I can't fight against them at this stage, it is better to form a team to act together is more secure.

Su Hongfei also thought of what Yue Qianye was thinking, and said with a smile: "Your fellow Taoist Yue is right, this is feasible."

Hearing their names, Si Ling felt a little strange. Aren't these two from the same sect? Why don't they address each other as sisters and sisters, instead they are so unfamiliar and polite?However, this question was only in his mind. Si Ling thought for a while, and felt that he had no reason to reject Yue Qianye's proposal, so he agreed.

The three of them walked back, and when they arrived at the previous cave, the battle was over.Except for the corpses of those monks, there were no corpses of butterfly-faced men on the ground. Si Ling went to check and found that some of the monks died in extremely cruel ways. Their flesh and blood were corroded by an unknown poison. A black skeleton.What prompted these people's death was a thunder-shaped dart stuck on the bone. The poisonous mist on it had disappeared, leaving only dull metal, which was exactly the same as the thunder-shaped dart that almost hurt him before.

The expressions of the three of them were a little stiff, they didn't expect the methods of those butterfly-faced men to be so cruel.Yue Qianye and Su Hongfei had very bad expressions. Si Ling glanced at the storage bags next to those black skeletons. The poison on the corpse.

Si Ling informed the two of his examination results, Su Hongfei was thoughtful, Yue Qianye thought about it, took out two bottles of pills from the storage bag, handed them to Si Ling and Su Hongfei respectively, and said: "This is the detoxification pill I made. I don't know if it will work. You guys keep it first."

When Si Ling was still a little hesitant, seeing the flash of joy in Su Hongfei's eyes, he readily accepted it.Si Ling glanced at it, then accepted it, and thanked him by the way.

After discussing, the three of them randomly picked a direction and continued to move forward.

In the darkness, the three of them didn't talk to each other, but were always on guard for the enemies that appeared in the darkness.The treasure-hunting operation that was supposed to be looking for the demon lotus was disrupted by those butterfly-faced men who appeared suddenly. conspiracy.

However, the intricate terrain also provided them with convenience, and they were not afraid of being unable to escape from enemies in the dark for a while.Can't run if you can't beat it?
After walking like this for several hours, the sound of fighting came from ahead.

After hearing this, the three of them accelerated their speed, and when they reached another open place, they saw more than a dozen monks fighting, among them were Xiao Zhuo, Liu Chengfeng and Li Qingli, and four of them were fighting Butterfly monk.

The three immediately joined the battle without saying a word. With their joining, the originally flat battle situation was reversed, and the four butterfly-faced men quickly began to decline. Seeing them take out the thunder-shaped darts, Yue Qianye and the others changed their expressions. Shouted: "Don't let that poisonous dart get on you." As soon as the words fell, two monks from the Qingyu sect fell to the ground with a scream after being hit by the poisonous dart. A black skeleton, full of poisonous gas.

Seeing this, the people present took a breath, and their attacks became more aggressive.

After a scuffle and finally killed the four butterfly-faced men, everyone felt lingering fear, Li Qingli burst into tears, threw herself into Xiao Zhuo's arms and cried.Xiao Zhuo glanced at Yue Qianye with some embarrassment, seeing her calm expression, he quickly pushed Li Qingli in his arms to Liu Chengfeng.Liu Chengfeng had just gone through a battle, and his body was full of evil spirits, so he naturally wouldn't pick up such fluffy girls, so he got behind Su Hongfei in a blink of an eye.Being pushed back and forth like this, Li Qingli was also angry in her heart. She glanced at Xiao Zhuo resentfully, and could only wipe away her tears with hatred, and stared at Yue Qianye viciously.

At this time, the monks of the Qingyu faction had already checked the four butterfly-faced men. Except for their half-butterfly masks, their faces were naturally unknown. Then they checked the storage bags and found the storage bags of the four. The things inside are all uniformly equipped, and it is impossible to know their identities from it, which makes everyone a little depressed.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, what do you think of this matter?" A disciple of the Qingyu Sect asked.

Xiao Zhuo looked at him. This is Cheng Jue, an outstanding disciple of the young generation of the Qingyu Sect. He is only 25 years old and is already in the middle stage of foundation establishment. He is quite valued by the sect. After investigating the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Cheng Jue was the representative of the Qingyu Sect.

"Fellow Cheng, the origins of these butterfly-faced people are not simple. I suspect that they are not monks from Xijing." Xiao Zhuo said in a deep voice: "The birth of the demon lotus has attracted all the powerful people from Xijing to investigate. The Yuanying Patriarch couldn't go out in person, so many monks below the Jindan stage came, and most of them were elite disciples from various sects."

Cheng Jue pondered for a moment, then said in shock: "You mean, Daoist Xiao, this is a man-made conspiracy. Someone planned to ambush the elite disciples of the various factions of Xijing here, in order to consume the strength of the various factions and forces of Xijing? What is the purpose of doing this? Do you want to weaken Xijing's strength? Is there a force that wants to occupy Xijing?"

Xiao Zhuo nodded: "Well, this is just my temporary guess."

Although it was a momentary guess, the hearts of everyone present were a little heavy.Among the people present, all monks were born in Xijing, and their sects or families are all in Xijing. If there are foreign forces intervening, Xijing's forces will be reshuffled, and I don't know how it will turn out scene.

"Then... the birth of Yaolian is also fake?" one of the monks frowned and asked.

The expressions of the people present changed slightly, and they looked at Xiao Zhuo and Cheng Jue one after another. They are the most senior monks in the two sects, and they have become the backbone of everyone. They want to hear what they have to say.

Xiao Zhuo shook his head and said, "No, it is true that Yaolian was born."

Cheng Jue continued: "I am a single wood spirit root, and I can feel the temptation of the demon lotus to me. That kind of pure wood spirit power can't deceive people. But now my perception of the demon lotus has become smaller, it should be someone At the place where the demon lotus was born, a restriction was placed to isolate the breath."

"The demon lotus was taken by someone?" Li Qingli asked Xiao Zhuo with a curious expression.

Cheng Jue glanced at her, and replied with a smile: "It's impossible. After the birth of the demon lotus, there is a half-month flowering period. Only after the flowering period does it produce seeds. Each time it bears only nine seeds, the only essence is in the demon lotus pod. In the dark red lotus seed in the center. However, when the demon lotus bears seeds, if it is not removed within two breaths, the leaves will fall and the leaves will be broken and dissipate between the heaven and the earth."

Hearing this explanation, all the people present sighed, this rare treasure is really hard to find, even if you can wait there for the lotus seeds to mature, but you can't be sure that there are no monks around who also covet the demon lotus.Everyone has a bad instinct, if I can't get you, I don't want to get it, if there are too many people robbing the demon lotus, it is common for uneven distribution and big fights.

"It's been seven days since we came in, and there are still eight days until the demon lotus will bear fruit." Someone calculated.

Hearing this, the eyes of the people present flickered, but there were also wry smiles on their faces.Originally, this labyrinth-like cave made the task of finding the demon lotus more difficult, but now there are enemies of unknown forces lurking in the dark, making it even more difficult.Even if you want to hunt for treasure, you have to save your life, right?

Xiao Zhuo glanced over everyone's faces, and finally settled on Si Ling.No, it should be said that it was the monster on Si Ling's shoulder.It was squatting there lazily, flapping its tail back and forth, looking extremely bored, and from time to time it used its tail to circle Si Ling's neck to attract his attention.

As if feeling his gaze, the monster looked over, and a green light flashed in its black and purple eyes.For a moment, Xiao Zhuo's eyes went dark, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't seem to know what he was doing before.

Li Qingli, who had been paying attention to him, immediately asked with concern: "Senior Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you? Are you tired?"

Xiao Zhuo showed a perfect smile habitually, and after replying that it was all right, he discussed the next move with Cheng Jue.
