Madam Bai Gu seemed to have planned the route long ago. Under her leadership, the group never encountered any large-scale ambushes. When they occasionally encountered a few waves of people from the Qishen Sect, they were all scattered soldiers and guerrillas, not enough for them to kill.
After all, they have more than thirty foundation-building people, and their strength is ranked in the first echelon among the regular retreating teams of the alliance.
After flying hundreds of miles a day, they finally arrived at the edge of the Wuding Sea near the State of Chu before dark.
After setting up an isolation array in a hidden place, everyone began to rest and recover their magic power.
There was a look of joy on everyone's face. As long as they crossed the nearshore waters and entered the open sea, they would be able to escape the pursuit of the Qishen Cult.
Although there are many monsters in the open sea and it is extremely dangerous, with so many foundation-building monks together, the safety is still very high. As long as they are not unlucky enough to encounter a super monster, they should have no problem reaching the other side of the sea.
Chen Lin also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they encountered some dangers after traveling such a long distance on land, there should not be a large number of enemies in the sea here. They have already broken through the densely blocked area.
He secretly glanced at Mrs. White Bone. She was not meditating or resting, but standing there gazing at the sea, not knowing what she was thinking.
Sensing Chen Lin's prying eyes, she suddenly turned around, smiled charmingly, and said, "Why, Brother Lin, have you finally figured it out? Do you want to discuss the principles of human relations with me?"
Chen Lin was already immune to such teasing, and shook his head expressionlessly, "No."
"Tsk, boring and cowardly."
Madam Bai Gu curled her lips in disdain, then said quietly, "Everyone, take a good rest. Every year, after the sun sets completely, a spectacular fog will appear over the sea. If we fly in the fog, we will be able to avoid being discovered to a great extent."
Everyone's faces became even happier when they heard this.
Chen Lin thought to himself that as expected, the other party had already known the date of retreat and had made a detailed plan based on the date. This would greatly increase safety. Fortunately, he chose to join this team.
Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Madam, do you know the use of the divine crystal? I also got a divine crystal, but I don't know what it is used for."
"That thing you mentioned can be of great or small use, depending on where it is used. But normal cultivators can't use it." Madam Bai Gu shook her head, as if she didn't care about the divine crystal.
"Yes, the divine crystal contains the power of the gods. How can anyone use it? Madam Bai Gu, I hope you are well!"
Suddenly, a sinister voice sounded from outside the formation, as if it could hear what they were saying through the isolation formation.
Before everyone could react, the surrounding space shook and the formation was violently broken. A pale man was standing high in the air, looking down at them.
"Nanmen Wuji!"
Seeing this person, Mrs. White Bone's face changed drastically. She immediately shook her wrist to enlarge the skull and surround it around her body, and looked at the other person nervously.
Her reaction was so great that the others also took out their magic weapons with fear on their faces and gathered together.
Nanmen Wuji just looked on indifferently without taking any action.
Chen Lin's face was filled with confusion. Although Nanmen Wuji's appearance had not changed from the one he met in Black Water Marsh, his aura had become much more obscure, and there was also a faint evil aura about him.
This person actually joined the Qishen Cult!
Isn’t the other party Nanmen Wuwo’s younger brother? Nanmen Wuwo was killed by the people of the Qishen Sect, so why would the other party join in
What about Nanmen Lingyue, did he also join the Qishen Sect
Many doubts arose in his mind, making Chen Lin feel an unpredictable danger. He secretly took out the talisman that Luo Qinglan had given him and held it in the palm of his hand. This was his strongest trump card, and with his current cultivation level in the foundation-building stage, he could already activate it instantly.
"Are you ready?"
After everyone had gathered, Nanmen Wuji took a look and spoke calmly.
Madam Bai Gu's face was extremely solemn, and she said in a cold voice: "It seems that you have successfully broken through. It was worth it that you led Nanmen Wuwo into the ambush of the Qishen Sect. The Qishen Sect really gave you a lot of rewards. But using your brother's life in exchange for your golden elixir, aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven?"
Golden elixir
When Chen Lin heard these two words, his face changed drastically. He involuntarily took a few steps back and took out an earth escape talisman and held it in his other hand.
The others were also shocked, but since they had signed the soul contract, they could not run away. They could only stare at Nanmen Wuji with nervous expressions and place their hopes on Madam White Bone.
When Nanmen Wuji heard what Madam Bai Gu said, his expression finally showed a slight fluctuation. He seemed a little sad, and also a little nostalgic.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "The road to immortality is difficult and difficult. In order to achieve immortality, you always have to give up some things and sacrifice some people. But as long as you can reach the peak and take a look at the scenery, everything is worth it."
He glanced at Madam White Bone again and said, "Madam, the White Bone Soul-Stirring Technique you practiced is also the same. But you are a step late, I'm afraid you won't have a chance!"
After saying that, Nanmen Wuji released his aura, and a terrifying pressure emanated from him. Chen Lin suddenly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his head, and even breathing became difficult.
Jindan stage, it is indeed the Jindan stage!
Chen Lin held on with great effort, thinking quickly about how to deal with the situation.
He definitely cannot fight. There is a huge gap between the initial stage of foundation building and the golden elixir stage. The opponent can kill him with just one blow.
It is impossible to run now. If no one else runs and he runs alone, he will be too obvious a target. The spiritual thoughts of a Jindan cultivator have a very wide coverage and can penetrate underground. No matter how fast the escape technique is, it cannot be faster than the spiritual thoughts.
After much thought, I decided to wait for an opportunity. I just hoped that Madam White Bone could hold on for a while and not be killed instantly.
"Madam White Bone, just surrender. Considering that you and I are from the same sect, I can keep your body intact and let your soul enter reincarnation!"
Nanmen Wuji stretched out his hand, and a bone-broken fan appeared in his hand. He spoke to Madam Bai Gu.
"Really?" Madam Bai Gu sneered and said, "Thank you for that, but it's not certain who will let whom go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the skeletons surrounding her body suddenly made a humming sound and burst into a dazzling white light.
At the same time, a skull mark appeared between the eyebrows of Zhang Qingfeng and the other nine foundation-building concubines, and then their aura dropped rapidly, and in the blink of an eye they all went from the foundation-building stage to the Qi training stage!
On the contrary, Madam Bai Gu's aura was rising steadily. She had already completed the foundation building, but she actually crossed the limit in one fell swoop. It was simply unbelievable!
This method shocked Chen Lin and others, especially those who did not practice dual cultivation with Madam Bai Gu. They all showed an expression of relief. However, the nine lovers whose cultivation was taken away were terrified. They looked at Madam Bai Gu no longer with fanaticism, but resentment.
"Fake Dan realm? It's useless, it's just a waste of effort!"
Nanmen Wuji shook his head, his expression still calm.
But she did not give Madam Bai Gu any more time. She waved the folding fan in her hand, and a gloomy white light enveloped the area.
The seemingly light blow was actually extremely powerful. Just by being affected by the scattered energy, Chen Lin felt his soul tremble, his blood seemed to solidify, and even his magic power could not function normally.
He was horrified, but did not dare to use any eye-catching magical powers such as the Golden Body Transformation. Instead, he gritted his teeth and moved back little by little.
The aftermath was so severe, so one can imagine the pressure that Madam White Bone, who was at the center of the attack, was under.
Her pretty face became distorted, and she roared like a lioness. The nine skulls instantly merged into one, forming an exaggerated large skull, which slowly rotated in front of her body and emitted waves of wonderful fluctuations.
Affected by this wave, the white light was repelled.
"it's useless!"
Nanmen Wuji whispered as if he was stating a fact, and shook the folding fan in his hand. Energy several times more powerful than before gathered again and turned into a giant sword that slashed down at Madam Bai Gu!
"open!"
Mrs. Bones felt the threat of death and spat a mouthful of blood onto the giant skeleton.
The skeleton grew larger again, blocking the lightsaber.
When the two collided, there was a loud bang, and the energy of the explosion instantly shattered the surrounding objects, and Chen Lin and others were also flown out!
The time is now!
Chen Lin, who had been looking for an opportunity, was shocked and vomited blood, but he had no time to heal his wounds. Instead, he took advantage of the situation to activate the earth escape talisman and drilled into the ground!
As for the agreement between the two alliance parties that earth escape is not allowed, he can't care about it at this moment. At this moment, only earth escape is secretive enough. Other escape techniques are too conspicuous and he will definitely not be able to escape.
Not only did Chen Lin run away, but other cultivators also took the opportunity to flee in all directions, leaving the soul contract behind, and various escape lights appeared one after another.
Most of the cultivators who had fallen to the Qi training stage as concubines were killed by the aftermath of the attack. The two or three survivors collapsed to the ground, looking at Madam White Bone with angry eyes.
Among them is Qian Li.
Mrs. Bai Gu was in a very bad condition at the moment. Although she managed to block the attack, her internal organs were seriously injured. Her clothes were torn to pieces, her skin was exploded, and she looked like a bloody person.
"ah!"
She sensed the escape of Chen Lin and the others, let out a roar, then took out the soul contract, crushed it without hesitation, and turned it into a ball of light.
A mysterious feeling emerged from the ball of light, and it felt like dozens of energies were flowing into the surrounding space. The sphere suddenly lit up, and then, along with the shrunken skeleton, it disappeared between the eyebrows of Mrs. White Bone.
In an instant, the sky changed suddenly, a large black cloud gathered quickly, and bursts of thunder were heard.
"Thunder Tribulation!"
Seeing this, Nanmen Wuji finally changed color and flew back without saying a word.
The opponent actually reached the conditions for breaking through the golden elixir at this time and triggered a thunder tribulation!
He was well aware of the horror of the golden elixir thunder tribulation and did not want to experience it again, but he did not retreat. Instead, he watched from afar and sent out a communication talisman.
At the same time, he looked in a certain direction, and according to his spiritual sense, it seemed that there was someone who was not dead yet, but had escaped into the underground.
He raised his hand and wanted to kill it, but at this moment, his expression changed, and he looked towards Madam White Bone, only to find that there was no trace of her!
