Taiping Inn

Wu Yang and Li Xuandu continued to move, and disappeared in an instant. When they appeared again, they were already a hundred miles away. This was not a method such as "Yin Yang Sect", and it was even slightly different from "Star Turning and Shifting". This was another witchcraft of Wu Yang, "Yuzhishu", which forcibly shortened the distance between two places, just like two ink dots on a white paper, which were far apart, but if the white paper was folded, the ink dots could overlap instantly.

After several times, the two had left the Middle Earth area and entered the Dongmu area, which was full of tall ferns, lush and green.

Wu Yang stopped under an unknown fern and let go of Li Xuandu. Seeing Wu Yang in high spirits, not as sick as before, Li Xuandu could not help but ask: "What about the 'Shebi Corpse Poison' in your body?"

"It's been solved, but Wu Di's part of the elixir of immortality has also been used up." Wu Yang's tone revealed a bit of regret, "In this way, it will be difficult to gather a complete elixir of immortality."

Li Xuandu said: "In an emergency, we must make decisions."

Wu Yang nodded.

Li Xuandu said again: "According to what Lu Wu said, this cave is just between Lu Wu's residence and the Zixiao Palace where the Taoist ancestor preached. Do you know how to get to the Zixiao Palace?"

Wu Yang said: "I know, but the thirty-third day where the Zixiao Palace is located is 'locked', and the 'key' is in Lu Wu's hand."

Li Xuandu was a little disappointed when he heard this. He originally wanted to use the legendary Zixiao Palace as a breakthrough point, but he didn't expect that the key to opening the door of the Zixiao Palace was in Lu Wu's hands. They are now avoiding Lu Wu, how can they get the "key" of the Zixiao Palace from Lu Wu? We can only think of other ways.

Li Xuandu asked: "What are we doing in Dongmu area?"

Wu Yang stroked the long black hair on his chest with his hand and said slowly: "According to my speculation, Wu Peng and Wu Fan will most likely hide here. Let's get the elixir of immortality in their hands first, and then talk about other things."

Li Xuandu had no objection and nodded in agreement.

Just as Wu Yang expected, Wu Peng and Wu Fan hid in Dongmu area after escaping. The reason is very simple. The door to Lu Wu's residence is in this area.

After three great witches died in succession, the remaining two great witches knew very well that the situation had reached an irreversible point. They could only choose to leave this place. The road to Zixiao Palace was blocked, and they could only return to the human world through Lu Wu's residence. As for how to face the upcoming heavenly tribulation after returning to the human world, they could only rely on the incomplete elixir of immortality in their hands and risk trying to survive the tribulation.

Of course, they can also choose to ascend, but all the hard work of more than a thousand years will be wasted. Because there are also differences in the rank of ascending, whether it is ascending to the ordinary immortal realm or ascending to the first calamity earthly immortal or the second calamity earthly immortal, there is a huge difference. As for the third calamity earthly immortal, he has already achieved the Tao and cannot be judged by common sense.

Soon, the two came to the door leading to Lu Wu's residence. Because Lu Wu came here in person, the door was not closed, but at this time, there was a person standing in front of the door, wearing a black crane cloak, holding a short sword about two feet long in his hand, with a head of black hair tied up by a jade hairpin, a face like jade, and a chic demeanor. It was the earth master Xu Wugui.

"It's you!" Wu Peng and Wu Fan's faces changed.

"It's me." Xu Wugui smiled slightly, "I have been waiting for the two great witches here for a long time."

"It was you who killed Wu Xiang." Wu Fan said coldly.

Xu Wugui did not deny it and nodded lightly.

Wu Fan stared at him, "You are coming to kill us now, but can you kill us?"

"You can give it a try." Xu Wugui said slowly, "Or if you two hand over the elixir of immortality in your hands, I will let you go."

"You are going too far." Wu Fan was furious. Without seeing her move, the ferns around him began to grow wildly, and countless vines swept towards Xu Wugui.

Xu Wugui raised the "Demon Slaying Sword" in his hand, and a blazing Yin Fire burned on the sword. Wherever the Yin Fire passed, the vines withered. But at the same time, Wu Peng also began to use his magical powers, and a strong wind blew, rolling up smoke and sand all over the sky, like a land tornado.

The yellow sand accumulated layer by layer on Xu Wugui's body, and buried the Yin Fire around his body under the yellow sand. But in a moment, Xu Wugui turned into a clay figurine covered with yellow sand.

Soon, Xu Wugui's figure could no longer be seen, only endless yellow sand.

The next moment, Xu Wugui shook off the countless yellow sands attached to his body, and the Yin Fire around him spread out. The layers of yellow sand were pushed out, forming a three-foot-high earthen fortress with Xu Wugui as the center. Then, countless sword qi like moonlight scattered and shot out. Wherever the sword qi passed, whether it was soil, stone, or vegetation, they were all corroded.

At this moment, a green rattan stick with a strong woody smell appeared in Wu Fan's palm, and then she inserted the rattan stick in her hand into the ground under her feet.

The rattan stick went into the ground three inches, and countless roots grew at the end of the rattan stick that pierced the ground, spreading out, and countless spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground.

Then the rattan stick began to grow rapidly, turning into a big tree rising from the ground.

The rattan stick was like a fairy treasure tree, getting higher and higher, towering into the clouds, with branches and leaves, standing out in the huge earth-yellow land tornado with a touch of green.

Then the tree, like a fairy canopy, seemed to come alive at this moment, its branches and leaves rustled, and a layer of green light enveloped the entire tree and Wu Fan and Wu Peng under the tree.

The Yin Fire and Sword Qi could no longer advance at all.

This towering tree was like a precious umbrella, supporting a piece of "pure land".

Xu Wugui calmly looked at the treasure tree that was dozens of feet high. Below it, there were countless roots like giant pythons rising and falling underground, absorbing the spiritual energy of the earth veins here, which created a "pure land".

The Yin fire burning in Xu Wugui's eyes became more and more turbulent, even escaping from his eye sockets, constantly jumping, leaving a faint black mark. He held the sword in his right hand, stretched out his left hand, and hooked his five fingers. Five vortices appeared in the sky, as if the five fingers had pierced five finger holes in the sky.

Five "moonlights" that connected the sky and the earth fell from the sky.

Xu Wugui closed his five fingers, and the five vortices merged into a huge vortex, and at the same time, the five "moonlights" also merged into one.

This "moonlight" was like a long sword that connected the sky and the earth. Xu Wugui held his five fingers in the air, shook his wrist, and threw it out in a huge arc, sweeping towards the towering tree.

Wu Fan still held the tree trunk with his hands, his eyes closed, and began to chant strange spells.

The long sword transformed by "Moonlight" fell down with a bang, like a dragon swinging its tail and striking, raising countless waves of energy between the two.

The treasure tree transformed by the rattan stick stood still, and the overwhelming "Taiyin Sword Qi" disappeared when it came three feet in front of the treasure tree. But there were bursts of loud noises between the two, which was better than a bolt from the blue. The yellow sand on the ground even exploded into countless smoke and dust.

Wu Peng, who was standing beside Wu Fan, stretched out his two fingers and knocked them in the air. Every time he knocked in the air, a yellowish-brown dragon condensed from the yellow sand rose from the surrounding yellow sand. Wu Peng knocked his fingers thirty-six times, and thirty-six land dragons rose around him. Thirty-six dragons surrounded Wu Peng, ready to go.

Xu Wugui's attack was ineffective, and he waved the "Demon Slaying Sword" with his right hand, pulling out a long black dragon formed by Yin Fire, and fled into the ground with unparalleled awe-inspiring power.

The ground under Wu Fan and Wu Peng's feet began to sink continuously, and countless yellow sand began to flow back. Then they saw the fire dragon breaking out of the ground under their feet.

Wu Peng flicked her finger, and the thirty-six land dragons surrounding her all shot up and headed for the fire dragon.

At this moment, a voice sounded in Wu Peng and Wu Fan's ears, "I found you!"

Hearing this voice, Wu Peng and Wu Fan's faces changed drastically. Because they were too familiar with this voice, it was Wu Yang.

For the two great witches, Xu Wugui was at most a little tricky, but Wu Yang was different. At the beginning, they gathered the strength of five people to barely suppress Wu Yang. Now that three great witches have died, how can they be Wu Yang's opponent with only two of them? What's more, there is another Xu Wugui in front of them.

Wu Yang's words were not just a simple greeting. Before he finished speaking, he had already arrived.

Wu Yang appeared behind Wu Fan and punched the wood wizard in the back.

From the beginning to the end, Wu Fan was defending Xu Wugui with all his strength. He did not expect Wu Yang to attack from behind. Even with the clear light of the treasure tree protecting him, he could not withstand the full force of Wu Yang, a calamity earth immortal. Wu Xiang was injured by Wu Yang's punch before, and was easily killed by Xu Wugui's sneak attack.

At this moment, Wu Peng made a decision. She gave up Wu Fan and the elixir of immortality on Wu Fan, and disappeared by the earth escape method.

There are nine levels of the Five Elements Escape Technique commonly seen in Taoism. Take the Earth Escape Technique for example. The first level is just to sense the changes in breath. The second level is to cultivate one's own breath and the combination of earth. Only when you reach the third level can you pass through a wall more than a foot thick, which is the "wall-penetrating technique". The fourth level can barely escape underground, but cannot move. The fifth level can escape underground and walk, and the speed is also extremely slow. If you want to use Earth Escape to come and go freely, you must practice to the ninth level. But Wu Peng, as the Great Sorcerer of Earth, has far surpassed the so-called nine-level realm in terms of his attainments in Earth Escape. Not only can he come and go freely, but his speed is even faster than flying in the wind. Even Wu Yang cannot stop him.

Almost at the same time that Wu Peng escaped, Xu Wugui did not think about fighting Wu Yang, the One Tribulation Earth Immortal, head-on. The whole person turned into countless Yin Fires and disappeared.

Wu Yang did not pursue him. He reached out and grabbed a little green spiritual light from Wu Fan's body, put it into his sleeve with satisfaction, and then went to the rattan stick and held it in his hand.

After a while, Li Xuandu finally arrived.

Wu Yang leaned on his cane and said, "The elixir of immortality is divided into six parts. Wu Di's part has been eaten by me. I still have my own and Wu Fan's parts in my hand. Wu Peng still has a part. The three outsiders hold Wu Xiang's and Wu Lu's parts respectively."
