The old beggar usually does not use this Qianyuan Transformation Method, not because he wants to use it as a trump card, but because he did not want to use it after leaving Qianyuan Sect. This time he uses it not only because it is convenient, but also to tell the immortal light in front of him his identity.
This level of evil cloud is itself a powerful magic that can help evil spirits call upon the power of heaven to enhance their magic power, and it also has a strong sense of oppression. The old beggar's move is to break the foundation of this evil cloud and bring the evil inside back to reality.
As the waves rose, they began to crystallize from the top. The tornado emitting white light in the sky turned into chains. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed suddenly, and the rumbling thunder of the old beggar, which was full of evil-shaking power, pressed down on the dark clouds behind the several escaping immortal lights.
Lightning continuously struck the rising sea crystals below, shattering some of the crystal pillars directly, but the number of rising crystal pillars was extremely large, and combined with the chains in the sky, they formed a trap from above and below, instantly clamping the dark clouds.
“Boom… Boom… Snap… Boom…”
All the sharp ice crystals made up of the waves were stained with the thunder in the clouds, and burst into bursts of light, but the magic used by the old beggar had formed two pieces of thorns that were closing together, which were about to shatter the huge dark clouds.
“Roar…” “Ah—”
There were crazy roars and shrill screams coming from the dark clouds, and black smoke was spreading out from the dark clouds, increasing in number and frequency.
"Ah..." "It hurts..."
“Hahahaha…” “Woo woo…”
…
There were shouts and howls, crazy laughter and crying. All kinds of strange sounds rang out in the black smoke, intertwining together and sounding extremely chaotic and harsh.
A skilled spellcaster has a strong sense of the magic he or she controls, and sometimes it is even like an extension of the limbs, which is the case with the old beggar at this moment.
The combined power of heaven and earth was like a pair of his hands, and the feeling of being entangled in dark clouds made his eyebrows twitch violently. It was very slow and gave him a feeling of nausea.
"Break it for me!"
“Boom boom boom…”
The magic light lit up, illuminating the entire dark cloud, and then ice crystals exploded in the cloud, shattering the entire dark cloud in an instant, as if endless vengeful spirits poured out with the explosion. It turned out that the essence of this dark cloud was not just an evil cloud, but most of it was composed of vengeful spirits.
There are hundreds of thousands of these vengeful spirits, and they are covered in black air. They are much larger than ordinary ghosts. When they fly, they leave at least three feet of black rainbow behind them, making it seem as if the surrounding sky is full of vengeful spirits when they spread out. Unlike ordinary ghosts, these vengeful spirits do not have much rationality, only memories of pain and jealousy of living people.
At the moment when the dark clouds were shattered, a few evil lights escaped along with the resentful souls, wandering in the sky where the resentful spirits were, covering an area of dozens of miles. The white clouds where the old beggar and the other two were located also suddenly became dim.
The old beggar's face was filled with shock. There were so many vengeful spirits, and so many living beings had died tragically and were taken away by magic. The two disciples beside the old beggar also felt their scalps tingling. Not to mention Lu Xiaoyou, even when Yang Zong was emperor and held the power of life and death over millions of people, he only sat in the Golden Palace and gave orders. Even during the war, he had never seen so many living beings die of resentment.
Several immortal lights in the distance were now approaching where the old beggar and his two companions were. The old beggar did not cast any spell to stop them and let them approach. The escape lights stopped a few feet away, revealing the figures among them. They were three disciples, one woman and two men, dressed in Qianyuan Sect uniforms.
"Qianyuan Sect disciple, meet our senior!"
"Thank you for your help, Senior. May I ask which generation of master in my sect you are from?"
The three men saw that the people standing on the clouds were a sloppy beggar and two people who were not well dressed, but they did not look down on them at all and bowed respectfully.
The old beggar nodded and looked at the resentful spirits in the sky.
"Those evil spirits took advantage of the resentment to escape, so they must be eliminated. But how did so many resentful spirits gather together?"
The old beggar avoided the other party's questions about his identity as a member of the Qianyuan Sect, and instead focused on the current situation. Of course, the three Qianyuan Sect disciples did not dare to ask any further questions.
The woman in the middle couldn't help but say hatefully when she heard what the old beggar said.
"These are all transformed from the creatures of Tianyuzhou. If it weren't for the strong resentment and filthy power gathered by the vengeful spirits, disturbing our souls at close range, how could we be chased away? There are eight of us brothers and sisters who set out from Yuyuan Mountain. Now there are only three of us left. If it weren't for the senior's help, I'm afraid we would not be able to escape!"
These words were half angry and half fearful. It's not that immortals don't have emotions and six desires, but their desires and fears are different from those of ordinary people, and their emotions seem to be milder.
"Where are you going?"
The old beggar asked casually without wasting any time, he had already started to make hand gestures to cast a spell. The evil spirits neither dispersed nor attacked, which meant that the demons themselves were also hesitating. They did not know the details of the new immortal and did not dare to rush forward, but they were unwilling to retreat. This was exactly what the old beggar wanted.
The old beggar didn't want to let go of so many vengeful spirits, nor did he want to let the evil spirits hiding among them escape.
A plump monk with a clean face and no beard answered.
"Replying to the senior, we were ordered to go to the Tianji Pavilion and were supposed to set foot in the Southern Wasteland Continent. Unexpectedly, these evil creatures calculated our whereabouts and ambushed us halfway, affecting our journey..."
Going to Tianji Pavilion? The old beggar understood something in an instant, and became even more worried about the situation. With the level of the master, he actually needed to rely on the power of Tianji Pavilion
"Then what are you still standing there for? Go now!"
The old beggar's sudden loud voice startled the three monks. They looked at each other and bowed to the old beggar.
"Senior, what you said is absolutely right. I will go there right away!"
“Wait!”
The old beggar thought for a moment and called the three people to stop. He paused the spell and pinched the magic light at the fingertips of his left hand without releasing it. The ability to control it with ease was astonishing, as it was impossible for an ordinary person to pause in the middle of casting a spell.
At this moment, the old beggar's right hand reached into the beggar's clothes that revealed half of his chest, scratched it like scratching old mud, and then grabbed out a small and exquisite mutton-fat jade talisman. The back of the talisman was full of spiritual patterns, and the front was engraved with the word "Taixu".
"Here, I'll lend it to you for a while. Return it to me when you return to Qianyuan Sect. With this, you can be safe on your way to Tianji Pavilion."
After all, if he was ambushed once, if it happened a second time, he might not be able to reach the Tianji Pavilion.
"This is… "
The female cultivator in the middle carefully took the jade talisman and looked it up and down but could not find anything special about it.
"Hey, this is a good thing, the Taixu Jade Talisman of Yu Huaishan. It has a magical effect that is rare in the world. It was given to me by a good friend of Yu Huaishan. However, when using it, apart from maintaining the Taixu realm, you cannot use too much mana, so it will fly slower. You have to use it flexibly. Go!"
"Yes! I'll take my leave!" "I'll take my leave!"
The three of them bowed again, and without further ado, they rode away on their beams of light.
At this moment, many vengeful spirits reacted and rolled into black whirlwinds trying to chase after them, but after flying for a distance they seemed to hit a barrier and were bounced back, while those fairy lights were able to escape unhindered.
"If you want to keep him, ask me, an old beggar, if I agree first!"
It turned out that the previous Qianyuan transformation method did not completely dissipate after breaking the evil cloud. The old beggar was doing two things at the moment. Half of his mind was controlling the method with his mind, maintaining a not-so-strong restriction that covered the resentful spirits within a radius of dozens of miles.
If the evil spirit behind him attacks forcefully, this restriction will not be enough, but a single or even a small group of evil spirits will not be able to break through. It is effective and can also fool people. After all, the other party does not know and dare not expose his whereabouts rashly.
Just as the old beggar had expected, the suspended spell was resumed, and the seals in his hands changed into various shapes in an instant, and a subtle feeling of heat arose in the palms of the old beggar's hands.
"Master, there are so many vengeful spirits that we cannot liberate them all."
Lu Xiaoyou said this, and Yang Zong already knew what the old beggar was going to do, so he continued.
"Urgent measures must be taken in an emergency. Nothing can be perfect. It is better to send them back to heaven and earth than to harm them. Those evil spirits will be buried with them."
The vengeful spirits in the sky were originally flying around, but after realizing there was a barrier, many of them began to rush towards the white cloud where the old beggar and the other two were. Their shouts filled with all kinds of negative emotions sounded like a speaker with a broken sound channel, and were extremely harsh.
Lu Xiaoyou and Yang Zong quickly took action, one in front and the other behind, casting spells to hold up a barrier to block the attack of the countless resentful spirits.
The old beggar was not in a hurry at all. He certainly didn't care about the attack of the evil spirits, but he could train his two apprentices.
"I'll leave these to you two."
After leaving these words, the figure of the old beggar gradually faded and even disappeared in front of the two disciples. For a moment, it seemed that he had lost his existence, but Lu Xiaoyou and Yang Zong were not in a hurry at all. They just concentrated on dealing with the vengeful spirit in front of them. They did not use any magic weapons, but simply relied on their own bare hands and magical powers to fight the enemy.
In the center where the resentful spirits were most concentrated, a ball of flame suddenly appeared. A resentful spirit passed by here, and its resentment invaded the flame, which instantly ignited it, turning the resentful spirit into a moving fireball.
"ah… "
“Wow…” “Wow…” “Wow…” “Wow…”…
Word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. More and more vengeful spirits were ignited by the tiny sparks, and the flames continued to spread around at an exaggerated speed, almost instantly turning the area within a radius of dozens of miles into a sea of fire. Countless vengeful spirits wailed in it, but the resentment was too strong and could not be burned out in a short while.
And this fire seemed to be only effective against vengeful spirits. After more and more vengeful spirits were ignited and flew around, the several evil spirits hidden behind them finally became obvious.
One of the monsters was something even the old beggar had never seen before. It looked like a pool of pitch-black mud, with several monsters surrounding it. At this moment, the mud-like monster was spewing out endless black water, like the sewage in a swamp, with a strong stench. Wherever the water passed, the fire on the vengeful spirits was extinguished, but the screams of the vengeful spirits themselves became even more exaggerated.
The next moment, the monster inhaled again, and under the sweep of the strong wind, endless vengeful spirits quickly gathered towards it and all flowed into its mouth, making its body grow bigger and bigger. The resentment and evil spirit on it increased exponentially in an instant, to the point that even the old beggar had to face up to it.
"What the hell?"
The old beggar murmured, and was inevitably shocked by the situation. The feeling of his own energy being locked made him unable to be distracted.
And those monsters seemed to say something in a voice transmission, and the sludge-like monster spit out a stream of black water to one side, instantly breaking through the old beggar's not-so-tight barrier, and then the demonic light disappeared in an instant, leaving only the sludge monster that was originally intended to lock onto the old beggar's aura.
At the moment when the old beggar was about to leave those evil lights, the sludge monster had already rushed towards the old beggar with more and more resentful souls and endless stench. It looked bloated and huge but it was moving very fast and had a very wide range.
"Boom..."
In an instant the filth covered the old beggar, completely submerging him.
"Master—"
Lu Xiaoyou screamed in surprise, and Yang Zongze on the side immediately took over the white cloud and flew away to a high place.
"Junior brother, are you crazy? Go back now!"
"Master has great powers, how could he be in trouble? Our presence here will only make him afraid to act rashly! Senior Brother, calm down and feel..."
After Lu Xiaoyou calmed down and composed himself, he was suddenly stunned. In the filthy air in the distance, he could no longer feel the breath of his master, but he could have another feeling in his heart. Every time he and Yang Zong made a mistake and faced their master, they would have this feeling. Of course, this time it was not directed at them, their fellow disciples.
"How dare you, a mayfly, be so arrogant—"
As the old beggar's angry and majestic voice rang out, a white light suddenly lit up in the center of the filth, and rays of light penetrated the filth as if there was a small sun inside.
"Bang... Boom..."
The filth in the sky was instantly evaporated in the flames and white light, leaving only endless white mist rising into the sky. The old beggar in the center was completely wrapped in endless white light, with white lightning in his eyes, like an angry god.
At the same moment of eliminating the vengeful spirit, a series of white rainbows seemed to be shot towards the distance as if with spirituality, chasing after the evil light that had escaped before.
"If an old beggar doesn't show his might, you think I'm a sick cat! Xiao You, Xiao Zong, let's go!"
"yes!"
After sending out the white rainbow, the old beggar no longer paid attention to the fleeing evil spirits and called his disciples. Lu Xiaoyou and Yang Zongze immediately came back on the clouds. When they approached the old beggar in the white light, they were instantly surrounded by a halo and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards Tianyuzhou at a faster speed than before.
