Cultivation, I have a world of high martial arts

Lin Chen hid thousands of feet underground and watched this scene quietly.

Sure enough, just as he expected, there were still a group of monks in the city who had not been deceived.

"I just don't know how strong these monks are?"

Lin Chen thought silently in his heart, and then gave orders to Long Ba and Feng Jiu.

After a while, under the leadership of two monks, Long Ba and Fengjiu entered a remote courtyard.

There are more than ten people in the courtyard, all of whom are in the foundation building stage!

Seeing the unfamiliar dragons, eight phoenixes and nine queens, the monks in the courtyard all showed wary eyes.

"Lao Zhang, are these two..." a monk asked.

Just when Long Ba was about to answer, there was a voice in his ear.

"Are they Taoist friends Long Ba and Feng Jiu?"

President Zheng poked his head out from behind the crowd, and when he saw the dragon, eight, phoenix and nine queens, he felt happy.

Then he smiled bitterly and said:

"I didn't expect that two fellow Taoists would also suffer... They were trapped in this Jade Belt City and couldn't get out!"

Deep underground, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment when he saw President Zheng's appearance.

He didn't expect to meet old acquaintances in this jade belt city.

He gave orders to Long Ba.

A look of confusion appeared on Long Ba's face at the right time, and he asked:

"So it's Brother Zheng? Brother Zheng is not in Guangyuanfang City...why did he come to this Jade Belt City?"

President Zheng showed a bitter look on his face and sighed:

"Oh, forget it! I wanted to expand sales some time ago, so the Chamber of Commerce sent me to this Jade Belt City to contact local shops..."

"Who would have thought that just two or three days after arriving... such strange things would happen in this city? If I had known about it, I wouldn't have come here!"

President Zheng looked quite resentful. He knew that everyone was in a bad situation now.

With this old acquaintance here, there aren't many doubts about the origins of Long Ba and Feng Jiu.

So he asked: "Fellow Taoists, do you have any clue about the city's closure?"

Several monks in the courtyard looked at each other, then nodded and said:

"We have been exploring the city for more than ten days, and we have some ideas, but... the situation is not good!"

"Oh, let's let Senior Li tell the two fellow Taoists!"

After saying that, several monks got out of the way, and a thin old man walked out from the back of the crowd.

"My name is Li Yu, I am a monk in the early stage of pill formation..." Li Yu introduced himself.

Long Ba and Feng Jiu suddenly showed respectful expressions, cupped their hands and said:

"I have met Senior Jiedan..."

Li Yu looked very easy-going, waved his hand and said:

"Senior, everyone is just a grasshopper in the same boat now..."

"Could it be that even the seniors with their pill-forming cultivation couldn't break through this city sealing formation?" Long Ba asked doubtfully.

After hearing this, Li Yu sighed and said:

"Alas, I have been living in seclusion in this Jade Belt City for decades... I have been affected by this formation for more than a year. By the time I realized it, it was already too late!"

"The longer you stay in this formation, the harder it will be to escape!"

"Look at the millions of mortals and thousands of monks in the city... I'm afraid they will all die in the city!"

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows after looking at the pictures and sounds coming from the light screen.

Obviously, this group of monks knew more about the formation and tested it more.

Under Lin Chen's order, Long Ba showed doubts at the right time and asked:

"Senior Li...who created this formation? Do you have a clue now?"

Li Yu nodded and said:

"If I guess correctly, this is the Ghost Exorcism Sect's Ten Thousand Ghosts Enchanting Formation!"

"Ten Thousand Ghosts Confused Array?" Long Ba held his forehead in thought.

Li Yu didn't notice Long Ba's stiff look, he just nodded and said:

"Yes, I also saw this formation by chance..."

"According to legend, this Ten Thousand Ghost Confusion Formation is the secret of the Ghost Exorcist Sect. It can confuse people with ghost energy, but it usually only covers a small area... covering an entire city in such a large area is the first time I have heard of it!"

"The longer you stay in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Confusion Formation, the deeper the danger will be. People like me and others with slightly higher soul strength can still resist a little or two..."

"But, the millions of mortals in this city... are actually dead!"

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he controlled Long Ba and asked:

"Millions of mortals will die...how do you say this?"

Li Yu sighed and said:

"After the Ten Thousand Ghosts' Enchanting Array is deployed, it will gradually exert psychological cues on the creatures within it... and from the moment the city is closed, all the mortals in the city have lost the idea of ​​​​survival and leaving the city!"

"So, in the end, millions of mortals in this city... will definitely die!"

"Not only that, even monks! Even us now are always in this kind of psychological suggestion and confusion..."

"If I stay in the city for a few more months, even I... will never want to leave this Jade Belt City for the rest of my life!"

With that said, Li Yu nodded to Long Ba and opened the door of a house next to him.

I saw two monks lying on the bed and sleeping soundly in that house.

"In the Ten Thousand Ghosts Confusion Formation, the longer you stay awake...the more serious the psychological implications will be!"

"These two fellow Taoists are only in the early stages of foundation building. A few days ago they agreed to find a way to leave the city... but now they have gradually lost the idea of ​​​​survival."

"As a last resort, we can only make them fall asleep and reduce their waking time... If they can escape from Jade Belt City, they can still be saved!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen, who was far away in the ground outside the city, took a deep breath.

The longer you stay in the formation, the deeper the danger?

Doesn't that mean that if he doesn't escape, he will lose the idea of ​​​​survival just like these monks and mortals?

"So, senior Li... have you found a way to break the formation?" Long Ba asked.

Li Yu nodded and said:

"According to my guess, the purpose of setting up the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewitching Formation is to raise a Yuanming Stage evil ghost..."

"When all the mortals in this city die, this Yuanming Stage evil ghost will appear in the world and become the life ghost of a certain existence in the Exorcist Sect!"

"And in the entire Exorcist Sect, there is only one person with such courage and potential... the ghost-eyed boy!"

"And the way to break the formation is to kill the person who set up the formation..."

Lin Chen heard all this information clearly through the images shared by Long Ba.

He knew that the Yuanming Stage was the realm of ghosts and monsters, a terrifying existence that surpassed the ghost pill and was comparable to the Yuanying cultivator!

But he had never heard of the ghost-eyed boy.

So Lin Chen controlled Long Ba and asked, "Senior Li... who is the ghost-eyed boy you are talking about?"

Li Yu sighed and said, "It's normal that you don't know the name of this ghost-eyed boy, because he is a figure from more than 300 years ago... maybe it's more appropriate to call him the Ghost-Eye Ancestor!"

"Three hundred years ago, when I was still a foundation-building cultivator, I participated in the battle between the righteous and the evil. At that time, I only looked at him from a distance and was not qualified to fight him at all..."

"It is said that he has the qualifications of earth spirit roots, and when he condensed the golden elixir, he reached the eighth-grade golden elixir. Now his cultivation should be in the late stage of elixir formation, or even the eighth turn."

"What's more, he was born in the Ghost Exorcist Sect. This old monster will have at least a few ghosts in the ghost elixir stage... If he comes here in person this time, I'm afraid we will die!"

At this point, Li Yu's face was filled with deep sorrow again.

(Note: The quality of the golden elixir is from one to nine grades, and the first to nine turns are the golden elixir realm, similar to the first to ninth levels of the Qi Refining Stage~)

After hearing what Li Yu said, Lin Chen also fell silent.

According to the skinning monk he had questioned before, a big figure from the Ghost Exorcist Sect came to Yudai City...

I'm afraid it was the ghost-eyed boy that Li Yu mentioned.

"An eight-turn golden elixir monk, his true essence and magic power may be close to the perfection of the golden elixir...plus there may be several ghosts in the ghost elixir stage under his command..."

"It seems that this time, it's really going to be a disaster..."

Lin Chen frowned.

After thinking about it, he tightened his digging action.

As long as he dug deep enough, even the real Yuanying ancestor couldn't do anything to him.

At that time, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewitching Array would break without attack...

"In addition to killing this ghost-eyed boy...maybe there is only one way to break the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewitching Array!"

When Li Yu said this, his face was full of worry.

He looked around at the monks around him and whispered:

"Since the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewitching Formation is a city sacrifice formation, it must use the entire Jade Belt City as nourishment..."

"Then there is only one way, before the formation is activated, kill all the creatures in the city..."

As Li Yu spoke, the monks around him responded.

"No, absolutely not!"

"Senior Li, there are millions of mortals in this city! If we kill them all... what a great sin it will be!"

"..."

As expected, these ten or so monks objected.

Of course, even if they are monks who treat mortals as grass, unless they are some extremely paranoid demon cultivators.

Otherwise, even if they are selfish casual cultivators, it is impossible to slaughter millions of monks.

On the one hand, it is indeed unbearable.

On the other hand, it is feared that the karma will deepen...

Of course, there is also the most important reason. Even if they really kill millions of mortals and leave Jade Belt City alive, they will definitely be hunted down by righteous monks.

Even in the end, he might be infamous for thousands of years...

Li Yu looked at the expressions of the monks around him, his face was calm, and the reactions of the crowd were not beyond his expectations.

But he just said lightly:

"Either go to fight that ghost-eyed old monster... or kill all the mortals, you choose!"

As an old monster in the Jindan period, Li Yu's Tao heart is more determined.

Compared with these foundation-building monks, he cares less about the lives of these mortals...

The foundation-building monks around him fell silent after hearing this, and they were obviously still a little entangled in their hearts.

At this time, Li Yu said again:

"Of course, it is not my wish to kill millions of mortals in vain..."

"The ghost-eyed old monster came from the Exorcist Gate, but it was just my guess... If it was other Jindan monks, we might be able to fight with the strength of all of us!"

"In my opinion, why not go to the Exorcist Gate's base to investigate first, and if it is really impossible, how about the second method?"

After Li Yu finished speaking his thoughts, the monks around him had no choice but to agree.

"Alas, this is the only way for now..."

Lin Chen has been paying attention to the movements here.

At this time, he ordered Long Ba to speak:

"Senior Li, do you know the base of the Ghost Exorcist Sect?"

"I just killed two foundation-building cultivators of the Ghost Exorcist Sect before. Their base should be in the mass grave outside the city..."

Li Yu nodded after hearing this, and looked at Long Ba and Feng Jiu and said:

"The two Taoists don't have a clear aura of cultivation... Do you have a magic weapon that can shield your cultivation?"

Before taking action, Li Yu wanted to know the strength of Long Ba and Feng Jiu.

President Zheng knew something about Long Ba Feng Jiu's strength, so he said:

"Fellow Daoists Long Ba Feng Jiu follow the path of ancient physical cultivation, so their strength is not obvious..."

"But Senior Li, don't underestimate them... These two fellow Daoists are not weaker than the late foundation-building cultivators!"

After hearing this, Li Yu was moved and said:

"Great! With the addition of two fellow Daoists, this operation will be more certain!"

"Then Senior Li, when do we set off?" another cultivator asked.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it! Now every day we delay, we will be in more danger... Why don't we kill the Ghost Exorcist Sect station right now!"

Li Yu is a decisive person, so he suggested at this time.

The other monks in the courtyard had no objection and rushed towards the mass graves in the south of the city.

…

At the same time, Lin Chen had a panoramic view of everything that happened in the small courtyard underground.

He touched his chin and nodded:

"It would be best if we have this group of monks to find out the details of the Ghost Exorcism Sect!"

"Long Ba Feng Jiu can also send back information in time. If it can kill the person setting up the formation, the formation will be self-defeating..."

After a pause, Lin Chen continued:

"However, we still need to be prepared...the 1,500-foot-deep underground is not enough! We have to dig deeper..."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen sped up his hand movements again.

…

Outside Yudai City, there are mass graves.

The sun setting in the west could not penetrate the dense leaves, and some light and shadow fell on the mass burial graves, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere.

Li Yu led more than ten foundation-building monks and walked among the mass graves.

More than a dozen spiritual senses were used to explore around, but no breath could be seen.

"What's going on...aren't the monks from the Ghost Exorcist Sect stationed here? Why don't you see a single figure..."

President Zheng frowned and said.

Under the induction of his spiritual consciousness, except for the graves, dead leaves and old trees that can be seen everywhere in this mass grave, there is no trace of life.

"It's indeed a bit strange... According to the intelligence, the Ghost Exorcist Sect should be stationed here. This barren mountain is so big, you can see it all at a glance... Why can't you find it?" A monk agreed.

Li Yu also frowned slightly. After sensing carefully, his eyes finally fell on the grave bag on the mass grave.

Hundreds of graves are densely packed and can be seen almost every few steps.

"Be careful, there's something wrong with these cemeteries!"

Li Yu waved his hand, and the true energy roared out, overturning a tomb in the blink of an eye.

The other monks showed doubts and looked intently at the cemetery, but there were no dead bones.

Instead, there lay a sleeping humanoid monster that was pitch black and covered with black hair.

"It's a dog-skin puppet! The skinning monsters in the city and the Black Dog Gang's business is to refine these monsters..." Long Ba said at this time.

"Let me try!" At this time, a foundation-building monk in the crowd said.

With a flick of his finger, the thick real energy turned into blazing fire and burned toward the dog-skin puppet.

The sudden attack caused the dog-skin puppet to wake up instantly.

He saw the fire burning on his body, but he didn't feel any pain. He struggled and rushed towards everyone.

"This puppet is not afraid of pain and has strong resistance to flames... Everyone, please be careful!"

Li Yu frowned and reminded, then he slashed out a sword and cut the puppet in half.

"The defense is not very strong, it is only equivalent to the late stage of Qi refining..."

"Everyone, stop holding back. Before the people from the Ghost Exorcist Sect show up... let's clean up these puppets first!"

While Li Yu was speaking, he opened another grave and killed a dog-skin puppet.

Seeing this, the other monks followed suit and began to clean up the puppets.

After lifting dozens of graves in succession, a monk discovered something was wrong.

"Look over there..."

Everyone looked up and saw hundreds of pairs of black-haired hands coming from deep under the mound of the grave, their fingers bent, trying to get out.

"Hurry up! These dog-skin puppets are about to be awakened!"

Li Yu's heart skipped a beat and he urged quickly.

After killing dozens of dog-skin puppets, it was too late to prevent these puppets from awakening.

Suddenly there was a strange wind in the forest, and there was also a bit of strange laughter in the wind:

"Jie Jie, it's exactly what our ancestor said... there are still little mice like you hiding in the city..."

"Since you're here, let's all stay! It saves us the trouble of looking for them one by one!"

As the weird laughter fell, hundreds of dog-skin puppets in the cemetery moved toward the crowd and surrounded them.

Most of these puppets are only in the middle and late stages of Qi refining.

But it has rough skin and thick flesh, is not afraid of pain, and is extremely resistant to flames and blades.

Even if there are foundation-building monks present, it will be difficult to kill them instantly with one move.

More than a dozen foundation-building monks and dog-skin puppets met each other, and they were crushed to death.

A moment later, another forty or fifty dog-skin puppets fell to the ground.

"ah!"

At this moment, a scream suddenly came.

I saw black blood oozing from the legs and feet of a foundation-building monk, and his body-protecting essence was bitten by a puppet that fell to the ground.

The puppet had its legs cut off, but it still crawled towards his feet without any pain.

Seeing this, Li Yu's expression changed slightly and shouted:

"Be careful, these puppets have no weaknesses...you have to cut off their heads and remove their limbs!"

While he was talking, another foundation-building casual cultivator in the distance was seriously injured.

An obviously much taller dog-skin puppet rushed towards him and knocked him away, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of dog-skin puppets surrounded him, biting madly at his body-protecting essence as if they were enough.

"Help, save me..."

The monk who was thrown to the ground had no time to call for help, and his voice gradually became fainter.

After a few breaths, the dog-skin puppet dispersed.

There was only a soundless stump of limbs and severed arms left on the ground...

The internal organs were exposed, the skin and flesh were turned out, and the flesh and blood were eaten away until they were blurred...

The dignified foundation-building monk seemed to have been eaten by wild dogs in the mountains and died!

This scene further stimulated the foundation-building cultivators around, and they shouted:

"Quick, everyone, come over here! Protect each other with your body essence... Don't show any flaws!"

The remaining dozen or so foundation-building cultivators gathered together to defend under the leadership of Li Yu.

As expected, with mutual cooperation, the consumption of essence was much less.

But the cultivator's essence is limited, and the dog-skin puppets are tireless and keep besieging.

If this continues, I'm afraid the foundation-building cultivators of the Ghost Exorcist Sect and the Puppet Hall will have to take action.

Except for the Jindan cultivators, every casual cultivator present who can survive...

Li Yu looked at this scene with a grim look on his face.

As a Jindan cultivator, he still has considerable spare energy.

But he still has to deal with the next enemy. If he consumes too much essence at this time, the next battle will be a life-or-death struggle.

Lin Chen has been watching the battle through the perspectives of Long Ba and Feng Jiu.

Obviously, if this group of foundation-building cultivators can't even defeat these dog-skin puppets, then there is no point in testing.

Thinking of this, he ordered the two puppets:

"Don't hold back, throw out the Five Thunder Seeds..."
