Chapter 375: Aftermath of the War
Sizzle!
A thundercloud arc surrounded Lu Changan and Fairy Zixia, and they escaped a distance and temporarily escaped from the crisis.
The burst speed of the fourth-level Thunder Escape Talisman made Jiang Ziyan hug Lu Changan's waist in advance to avoid being thrown away from each other during the high-speed movement.
"The fourth-level low-grade Thunder Escape Talisman is enough to deal with it for a while. The other Yuanying Zhenjun of Dayu Country should be on the way."
Lu Changan secretly calculated that the situation was clear.
The ambush at Dashe Mountain was about to end, and there was no more time to chase the two. This time the Yuanying killing calamity was basically resolved.
As expected, the angry and unwilling Red Snake Zhenjun in the distance did not chase.
The speed of the fourth-level low-grade escape talisman is equivalent to the full-strength escape speed of the early Yuanying.
The initial burst of the Thunder Escape Talisman is faster, but it only opens up a little distance in a short period of time, and it cannot easily throw off the Yuanying Zhenjun of the same level.
If there is enough time and the spiritual power of the Thunder Escape Talisman is exhausted, the Red Snake Zhenjun can also chase and kill.
Hmm?
Lu Changan found that although the Red Snake Master and Pagoda Wanderer in the distance did not pursue, their eyes fell on the puppet army formation and planned to put it away.
These two people had the wrong idea.
Lu Changan was now fused with the second life, and the strength of his spiritual consciousness far exceeded the level of Jindan, close to the Yuanying stage.
Within dozens of miles, Lu Changan could control the puppet army formation. Fighting positional warfare was equivalent to the complete Yuanying stage, with good defense, and it was not easy to take it down 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!"
Zixia Master closed his starry eyes slightly, and was a little worried at first.
As a result, he found that Lu Changan easily guided and controlled the fourth-level Thunder Escape Talisman, so he lay quietly in his arms and healed his wounds and detoxified.
After Lu Changan guided the Thunder Escape Talisman, he no longer pulled away in a straight line, but circled in a circle, maintaining a distance of thirty miles, and remotely controlled the puppet army formation.
"This kid's puppets can be controlled so far away?"
Red Snake Zhenjun and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought they could easily take down the puppet army formation, but ended up facing the full defense of the puppet army formation.
The puppet army formation is not so afraid of poison.
Secondly, unlike Fairy Zixia who was injured internally at the beginning, she can last longer in her prime.
It will take a long time for Red Snake Zhenjun and Pagoda Zhenjun to break through, and it takes a lot of effort.
"Daoyou Red Snake, evacuate quickly. Even if we conquer the puppet formation regardless of the cost, as long as the big dragon can be remotely controlled, these puppets can be made to self-destruct."
Pagoda Zhenjun persuaded.
Red Snake Zhenjun was extremely unwilling, especially when he thought of the quasi-fourth-level spirit pet being killed by Lu Changan, the anger in his heart was hard to extinguish.
"Retreat."
Red Snake Zhenjun did not lose his mind. He evacuated with Pagoda Zhenjun beyond the planned time.
"However, Fairy Zixia was poisoned by the Heavenly Centipede Infant Poison, and Dayu Country has no antidote. If it cannot be treated in time, it will damage the origin of the Yuanying spirit body, and the strength will drop permanently by several percent, affecting future potential."
Flying in Jiugangtian, the gloomy snake-patterned old face of the Red Snake True Lord showed a sinister smile of success.
This plan just did not achieve the most ideal results, but it also achieved the most basic results.
As long as the [Heavenly Centipede Infant Poison] penetrates into the Yuanying, the consequences will be more serious than Fairy Zixia abandoning her skin and letting her Yuanying leave her body.
The only thing that made him feel like a thorn in his throat was Xiang Dalong.
This person hid so deeply that he suffered a great loss in this operation.
...
Seeing the two Yuanying enemies retreat, Lu Changan controlled the puppet army formation to return, confirmed that it was correct, and put it away.
"Sister Jiang, how is your poison condition?"
Lu Changan asked with concern.
Fairy Zixia closed her starry eyes, frowned, and a faint blue centipede texture appeared on her beautiful face.
Her elegant body, like soft jade, lay in his arms, cold sweat oozing from her forehead, shivering.
Perhaps it was too cold, so she kept hugging him tightly to get warmth.
Lu Changan put his palm on Jiang Ziyan's vest, using the ordinary healing technique of Changqing Gong to help her stabilize her internal injuries.
As long as the life-shortening Changqing secret technique is not used, the treatment of Changqing Gong is no different from other wood-based exercises, and the most effective treatment is better.
Strangely, Jiang Ziyan's body is not cold, but has a faint warm fragrance.
Lu Changan can only speculate that the chill may come from the infant poison that has penetrated into the Nascent Soul, from the soul level, not the physical body.
However, the Nascent Soul spirit body is the origin core of the Nascent Soul True Lord, and Lu Changan dare not touch the taboo rashly.
"Brother Xiang, this time it's all thanks to you."
Fairy Zixia's weak whisper came, making people feel pity.
"Sister, you just took the secret medicine, your life is not in danger for the time being. However, your Yuanying spirit body is restrained by the terrible fourth-level infant poison, unable to deal with the physical injuries. You also lost control of your magic power..."
Hearing this, Lu Changan was a little surprised. Fairy Zixia was weaker than he thought.
Now any ordinary cultivator might be able to deal with her.
Fortunately, her life was not in danger.
"Fortunately, Brother Xiang's wood-based skills have a very good healing effect."
"Next, Sister, you have to deal with the infant poison with all your strength. The physical injuries will be left to Brother Xiang, and you don't have to worry about the etiquette of men and women."
After saying this, True Lord Zixia closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he fell into a peaceful sleep like a baby, fighting the infant poison in his Yuanying spirit body.
When Lu Changan heard the word "full authority", he put aside some of his previous concerns, carefully examined Fairy Zixia's body inside and out, and bandaged the wound.
The wound on Jiang Ziyan's shoulder was easy to explain.
But there was another wound on the thigh, which was the key entry point for the infant poison.
Lu Changan slightly tore the hem of the palace skirt, and a deep bloody mouth 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.
Be wary of infant poisoning at the wound site!
For this reason, 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 Gong 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 pressed against his chest had a faint warm red color, which was hidden by Lu Changan's clothes.
A hint of lavender starlight disappeared from his eyes.
"Unexpectedly, Xiang Dalong, an elder who is a foreign guest, is the most trustworthy person at the moment of life and death. Even if I am in a 'coma' and my body is at its full disposal, there will 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.
After Fairy Zixia took charge of Yunxia Sect, she was 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 You Palace, she paid the price of her sect's knowledge and secretly purchased the rare pill "Yin Yang Life and Death Pill" in Yuntian City.
It was the one black and one white antidote 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 Nascent Soul spirit body in time.
However, [Yin Yang Life and Death Pill] is not a specifically targeted antidote after all. To resolve the [Tian Centipede Poison], it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine and slowly adjust and detoxify.
Therefore, 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 latter's true situation. He was not weak as imagined and could be dealt with at will.
If Lu Changan is ambitious and has evil thoughts, Jiang Ziyan will not only be able to 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 shield him from the wind and rain and borrow the fourth-level spiritual veins to conceive a baby.
Moreover, he has always taken the lead and will not look down upon the old monster Nascent Soul no matter how weak he 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 weak after internal injuries and infant poison erosion, 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 cultivator 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 Big Snake Mountain, and murmured:
"It's a pity that the Great Snake Mountain has not gone out in force. It 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.
Among the hills a hundred miles away from the mountain gate.
A green-armored puppet with fangs and iron stiffness sat cross-legged among the weeds, staring at the gate of Big Snake Mountain.
"The aura of Lord Chi Lian is still there, and he has not left the Big Snake Mountain. He went out with the Red Nether Snake King."
Puppet Master Wei, who was integrated into the core of the fourth-order puppet, whispered in a low voice and conveyed general information 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.
In the past few years, Lu Changan had vaguely sensed something through his divination, and was actually wary of Big Snake Mountain.
Therefore, 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 after returning from Yuntian City, he was ambushed in Dayu Kingdom. Lu Changan immediately told him to contact Wei Puppet Master and let him act 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.
At that time, the fourth-level puppet controlled by Master Wei will be able to act independently, and with the help of the puppet's special characteristics, he will try to sneak into the interior of the Big Snake Mountain and loot and wash away the blood.
Once successful, not only can you search for top-level resources for infants and beasts, but you can also surround Wei and rescue Zhao, and resolve the frontal crisis.
Of course, this was 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-head arrows, etc.
Facts have proved that Dashan Mountain is still relatively stable. The new Nascent Soul stayed at the gate and left 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.
In the sky above the sect, wild sand roared, and in the center of the evil spirit, a half-demon rat-man floated.
Lord Diyan was wearing a purple robe, with a slightly rounded face, showing a vigilant look, looking around the sect.
Previously, he received an urgent summons from the sect and instructions from his master to guard the sect honestly.
Knowing that his master was attacked, Di Yanjun was a little anxious, but he couldn't go out to help.
If it weren't for his master's instructions, he would have instinctively gone out to rescue.
In the mountain stream a hundred miles away from Yunxia Sect.
A huge red-black snake tail appeared faintly.
In the mountain stream, there lurked a giant snake with red-black scales, about thirty feet long, with a dark red head and an egg-shaped shape.
Where it was, the stream water turned into red poisonous water, and a silent red land formed for several miles around.
"The time has passed. It seems that the pressure from the other side is not enough."
The cold and dim light in the pupils of the Red Nether Snake King was enough to make ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators feel uneasy.
Crash!
The Red Nether Snake King rolled up a piece of poisonous water, covering his figure, and quietly left the Yunxia Sect's sphere of influence.
Looking towards the direction of the Yunxia Sect's mountain gate, the Red Nether Snake King spit out his snake tongue, revealing greed and unwillingness.
The fourth-level rat king with a rich earthly evil aura had a great attraction to him.
Unfortunately, the fourth-level rat king never left the sect, so there was no chance for him to ambush and kill.
For this ambush, it also carried a rat-killing poison specially made by the poison master. The surprise attack should have a 70% chance of success.
…
At the gate of Yunxia Sect, the rock rat seemed to have sensed something. Looking at the direction where the red ghost snake king was going away, it felt an inexplicable palpitation.
It waited for another half an hour.
In the distant sky, the breath of the escape light of the Nascent Soul cultivator approached.
"The master is back!"
The rock king was overjoyed and felt the breath of Lu Changan.
Soon, he saw a Nascent Soul cultivator, guarding a small floating palace, returning to Yunxia Sect.
The escorting Nascent Soul True Lord was a man wearing a dark blue scholar's silk shirt, with a strange face, silver hair, and a sense of vicissitudes.
This person was Xiao Weifeng, the ancestor of the Xiao family, one of the four great families in Dayu Country.
This person was the ancestor of Xiao Qingshan, the chief steward of Lu Changan's cave mansion.
Due to this relationship, Lu Changan and the Xiao family have some material exchanges, and the Xiao family has a good relationship with the Yunxia Sect.
"Please send me off, Daoist Xiao. I have to heal my wounds and detoxify, so I can't entertain you in person. Please forgive me."
In the palace, the pleasant voice of Zixia Zhenjun came.
"Since Daoist Zixia is fine, Xiao will not bother you."
The ancestor of the Xiao family was neither humble nor arrogant. Before leaving, he looked at the palace meaningfully.
In the palace, Lu Changan helped Fairy Zixia to lie on the soft couch. The latter seemed still cold and weak. She hugged his body to absorb warmth.
After the ancestor of the Xiao family arrived, Zixia Zhenjun appeared briefly sober and said that he wanted Lu Changan to take care of him, and did not let the ancestor of the Xiao family get close to investigate.
Along the way, he showed unconditional trust in Lu Changan.
"Junior Brother Xiang, in the next period of time, I will focus on dealing with the infant poison and fall into a deep sleep most of the time. I will leave my real body to you to take care of."
Fairy Zixia raised her eyelids, took out the token of the Supreme Elder, and handed it to Lu Changan, her breath was weak, and she forced a smile.
"This, Senior Sister is respected as the True Lord of the Nascent Soul, and the body is precious. It is better to change a female disciple to take such close care..."
Lu Changan took the token and hesitated.
"Junior Brother Xiang's magic power, treatment and warming are superior, and no doctor in our sect can compare. In the current huge Yunxia Sect, Senior Sister can only trust you unconditionally."
Jiang Ziyan's tone of pity was soft and pitiful, with a little girl's pleading meaning.
For such a reason, Lu Changan couldn't refuse.
After experiencing the previous life and death ordeal, Fairy Zixia trusted him the most. And his medical skills and warming, even if he didn't use the Evergreen Secret Technique, no one in the sect could match him.
"If it weren't for Junior Brother Xiang's sacrifice, my body would have been destroyed. With such a great favor, why should I care about the etiquette of ordinary men and women?"
After saying this, Fairy Zixia closed her eyes, her consciousness returned to her Nascent Soul, resisting and dissolving the poison.
Her face, which was sleeping quietly, was slightly rosy, perhaps because her injuries had stabilized and her complexion had improved, so she looked bright and vivid.
At this point, Lu Changan seemed to have an understanding, and he let go of his worries.
He no longer hesitated, controlled the small palace building, and entered the mountain gate of Yunxia Sect.
...
Lu Changan held the token of the Supreme Elder and had a brief communication with the leader of Xuefeng Sect, Di Yanjun.
Afterwards, the palace building arrived at Zixia Peak, the main peak of the fourth level.
"Elder Xiang, how is Master's injury?"
A handsome and handsome young male cultivator of Jindan came out to greet him with concern and anxiety.
The visitor was Hu Ang, the disciple that Fairy Zixia accepted as an exception many years ago.
The quality of Hu Ang's elixir reached the half-step golden elixir, which was quite a feat.
Lu Changan looked at Hu Ang, who was worried and concerned. The latter wanted to rush into the palace.
Lu Changan raised his hand and shook him away with the powerful elixir power.
"Elder Xiang, what do you mean?"
Hu Ang looked angry and soon realized that as a male disciple, his actions just now were a little bit too radical.
After all, he returned from cultivation and his current identity was no longer the Taoist partner of Zixia Fairy.
No matter his cultivation, status, or influence, he was far inferior to Xiang Dalong.
"The Supreme Elder has instructed that Xiang should escort and take care of us throughout the journey, and no one else should get close."
Lu Changan held the token and entered Zixia Peak in a businesslike manner.
The small palace building fell at the entrance of the cave.
Hu Ang was about to say something.
At this time, Fairy Zixia's voice, as soft as a spring, came from the palace:
"Please, Junior Brother Xiang, carry me into the cave."
"Yes."
Lu Chang'an agreed. Jiang Ziyan had been hugging him for so long along the way that he had already gotten used to the wonderful and rich touch.
He held Fairy Zixia completely around her waist with both hands.
In this way, Jiang Ziyan's graceful 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 looming. 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..."
Juan's heart trembled violently, as if he was struck by lightning, and he instinctively felt something was wrong.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't know why he stopped him.
Because this move was just requested by True Lord Zixia, Xiang Dalong was just following orders.
"What do you think, nephew Hu?"
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.
"Here, I know a little bit about medical skills, maybe I can put them to use..."
Juan suddenly had an idea and found an excuse.
The remnant soul of True Lord Yunlan, which was fused with this body, was once knowledgeable and experienced 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 the wood-based skills 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 said coldly.
"Yes...Master."
Hu Ang felt that the voice of his former Taoist companion was cold and contained a hint of anger.
He seems to blame himself 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 dress 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.
Forbearance!
At this moment, the Taoist companion was injured and weak, so the Yunxia Sect had to rely on Xiang Dalong and Lord Diyan.
If he shows any signs of cheating, Xiang Dalong will kill him, and no one in the door can stop him.
The sun was setting in the west, and the night was about to come to an end.
Juan was anxious and anxious, and his days were like years.
Due to Fairy Zixia's order just now, he could not leave yet and stayed in front of the gate of the cave.
