Chapter 21 The Golden Whip Displays its Power
If it were an ordinary demon immortal who only knew how to fight with sheer courage and brute force...
Those trapped in such a high-grade acquired formation, where reality and illusion are indistinguishable and danger lurks everywhere, are mostly already restless and agitated, wandering around aimlessly like headless flies.
In the end, they either exhausted their magic power or were strangled to death by the elusive blood-red wind blades and invisible shackles.
Fortunately, Xuan Yao was not the kind of reckless demon cultivator.
Over the years, he has been practicing the "True Explanation of the Golden Palace Mysterious Demon" bestowed upon him by the Queen Mother of the West day and night.
He already had a profound understanding of the mysterious changes in the Qi of heaven and earth, the interaction of Yin and Yang, and the flow of fortune and misfortune.
Moreover, when he collected the Treasure-Dropping Coin and the Enlightenment Tea Tree in Wuyi Mountain, he patiently spent more than three hundred years repeatedly deducing and solving that extremely strange natural illusion!
What's trapping him now is a set of powerful, high-grade acquired array flags.
However, when it comes to the ingenuity of the formation and the connection between the cause and effect of heaven and earth, it is still far inferior to the natural maze formed by Wuyi Mountain.
Before long, Xuan Yao snorted coldly, flipped his left hand, and the small brass shield of the lower grade instantly appeared. It turned into a thick, earthy yellow light screen in the wind, protecting his body completely.
No matter how sharp the crimson wind blades slashed out from the darkness, when they struck the light barrier, they only stirred up ripples and made muffled thuds, but they could never break through the defense.
At the same time, Xuan Yao repeatedly pointed with his right sword finger.
"go!"
The dark gold flying fork transformed into a streak of light like a swimming dragon, weaving back and forth through the black mist with an extremely sharp whooshing sound.
"Pfft! Boom!"
Xuan Yao did not blindly attack the ethereal array space. Instead, relying on his keen perception of the energy through the True Understanding Method, he commanded the flying fork to pierce through several array nodes and illusory array eyes hidden in the black mist.
Each thrust of the flying fork caused the surrounding black mist to churn violently, and even the suppressed groans of the green-robed Taoist could be faintly heard.
After several rounds of probing exchanges...
Xuan Yao was now much more at ease, having quickly grasped the basics of the Nine Netherworld Bewitching Killing Array.
"This formation is ingenious, combining illusion, confinement, and killing quite tightly."
"But in the end, it is still made by crafting, and its core array changes and the grade of the array flags are ultimately limited."
Once the key point of the formation is found and broken by force, the formation will collapse without a fight!
Having seen through the deception, a sly glint flashed in Xuan Yao's eyes.
Instead of immediately using his trump card to forcefully break the formation, he withdrew the Dark Gold Flying Fork.
He deliberately withdrew some of the magic power from the small brass shield, making the defensive light barrier appear precarious.
At the same time, he let out a slightly heavy breath and staggered back several steps.
It looked like a creature whose magical power was about to be exhausted.
"Hahaha! You beast, why aren't you being arrogant anymore?"
The Taoist in green robes, hidden deep within the formation, saw this and indeed fell for the trap!
Seeing that Xuan Yao, the black tiger demon cultivator, was already showing signs of fatigue, he was overjoyed, thinking that victory was assured.
"To die in my deadly formation is your good fortune!"
Accompanied by a smug, sinister laugh.
The thin figure of the Taoist in the green robe finally emerged slowly from a corner of the swirling black mist formation.
He gripped the main formation flag tightly in one hand and made a lightning-streaked hand seal in the other, preparing to personally capture and kill Xuan Yao!
However, the moment he appeared!
Xuan Yao, who had been looking exhausted, suddenly raised his head!
"We've been waiting for you to come out!"
Xuan Yao let out a deafening roar in his heart.
Without uttering a single word, the Xuan Sha Golden Whip, a superior innate spiritual treasure that he had been nurturing for a long time, suddenly burst forth from the deepest part of his dantian!
"boom--!!!"
A dazzling, dark golden light exploded within the entire Nine Netherworld Bewitching Killing Array!
The expression on the green-robed Taoist, who had been grinning smugly, froze instantly!
"A...a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?!"
He was terrified and frantically tried to wave the main battle flag in his hand to change formation and escape for his life.
But it was too late!
"die!"
Xuan Yao gripped the Xuan Sha Golden Whip, and his innate Xuan Sha energy erupted like a volcano, mercilessly lashing down at the green-robed Taoist!
“Pah!”
The first lash!
The protective aura that the green-robed Taoist was so proud of was instantly shattered by the Xuan Sha Golden Whip, turning into countless points of light!
"ah--!"
The Taoist in the green robe let out a shrill scream, before he could even use any of his life-saving tricks.
“Pah!”
The second lash followed immediately!
The whip struck his left side squarely.
The green-robed Taoist's body was instantly smashed into a bloody mess and completely shattered!
“Pah!”
The third lash!
Xuan Yao flicked his wrist, and the golden whip transformed into a long, dark golden dragon, striking directly at the core of the array diagram of the nine array flags that maintained the operation of the entire array!
"Boom—!"
The array was forcibly ripped apart, and the black mist and blood-red wind blades that filled the sky vanished without a trace, as if they had lost their source.
The entire formation collapsed with a deafening roar!
"puff--"
With the formation broken, the Taoist in green robes, whose mind was connected to his, coughed up another mouthful of blood, his aura extremely weak.
He endured the excruciating pain of half his body being destroyed, frantically making hand seals, his body radiating a bloody light, as he attempted to use a blood-burning escape technique to flee.
"Trying to leave? Leave your life behind!"
Xuan Yao snorted coldly.
Its figure moved like a ghost, instantly appearing above the head of the Taoist in green robes.
He stretched out his thick tiger claw, which was wrapped in black and gold light, and pressed it firmly against the top of the green-robed Taoist's head!
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yao raised the Xuan Sha Golden Whip in his hand.
It crashed down from above with the power to shatter gods!
"Bang!"
A dull, loud bang.
The Taoist priest in the green robe had his head explode on the spot.
Its primordial spirit, hidden deep within its sea of consciousness and about to escape, was annihilated by the terrifying power of the Xuan Sha Golden Whip before it could even utter a scream. It was completely destroyed and its life was extinguished!
Once the formation dissipated, the eerie winds and black mist in the valley completely vanished.
Xuan Yao slowly put away the Xuan Sha Golden Whip and calmed the churning magical power within his body.
His gaze fell upon the nine high-grade acquired array flags that had lost their master's control and fallen to the ground.
A hint of joy finally appeared in his eyes.
"What a treasure! If this set of array flags were placed outside my Qinghei Mountain dojo, in conjunction with my existing array formations, I wonder what kind of power it would unleash!"
The Luobao Golden Coin and the Wudao Tea Tree branch were already unexpected great gains from this trip to Wuyishan.
Now, another set of extremely powerful high-grade acquired array flags has appeared out of nowhere!
With a wave of his sleeve, Xuan Yao collected the mangled corpse of the green-robed Taoist and the nine-pole array flags into his possession.
Only after the crisis was completely resolved did the white-clad old fox, who had been struggling within the defensive light barrier, finally breathe a long sigh of relief.
She removed the shaky defensive light barrier and, leading the group of terrified fox clan members, young and old, cautiously stepped forward.
"Thank you so much for saving our lives! If it weren't for your righteous intervention, our entire fox clan would likely have perished at the hands of that evil cultist today!"
The white-robed old fox, along with its clansmen, bowed deeply to Xuan Yao, their voices filled with gratitude for surviving such a calamity.
Xuan Yao turned around, looking calmly at the group of fox demons, without speaking immediately.
Upon seeing this, the old fox's heart tightened, and he quickly introduced himself to show his sincerity:
"My benefactor, please allow me to inform you that we are a rare branch of the white fox clan near Wuyi Mountain."
"Our clan is born with weak foundations and mainly cultivates minor arts such as marriage, red thread, and karma. We are not good at fighting and killing."
"It's because my clan possesses a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Marriage Mirror, passed down from our ancestors."
The old fox held the ancient bronze mirror, which emitted a soft white light, in both hands and said bitterly:
"That's why we've been repeatedly coveted by such wicked and powerful cultivators, almost bringing about the extermination of our clan."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yao's gaze swept over the so-called Marriage Mirror, but he did not reveal the slightest hint of greed.
Although low-grade innate spiritual treasures are good, he now possesses top-grade and high-grade spiritual treasures such as the Treasure-Dropping Coin and the Mysterious Fiend Golden Whip, so he naturally wouldn't be so short-sighted as to snatch the treasures of the person he saved.
"With your level of cultivation and possession of innate spiritual treasures, you are bound to be coveted in the dog-eat-dog world of Wuyi Mountain."
Xuan Yao spoke calmly, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger:
"I can save you once today, but what will you do if an even more powerful being comes tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, the white-robed old fox was speechless.
She knew this principle all too well.
But in such a vast world, where could such a weak fox clan find a place to settle down and make a living?
Just when the old fox was in despair.
Xuan Yao suddenly changed the subject, asking in a calm tone:
"Would you like to find another place to settle down?"
The old fox was initially worried that this benefactor, whose cultivation was unfathomable, might have ulterior motives for saving them.
For example, they might have taken a fancy to the female fox in their clan, or they might also want to seize the marriage mirror.
But at this moment, listening to Xuan Yao's calm tone...
There was neither that condescending, frivolous charity nor that condescending coercion or enticement.
It's simply stating a fact.
Having lived for countless years, the old fox's ability to read people's expressions and moods was certainly not lacking.
Her heart immediately calmed down a little.
She knew that this benefactor intended to subdue their fox clan!
The old fox pondered for a moment.
Rather than living in fear and constant threat of annihilation in the Wuyi Mountains, it would be better to seek refuge with this powerful cultivator.
At the very least, it can ensure the continuation of the bloodline of the clan!
"If our benefactor does not despise our humble skills, I am willing to lead my entire clan to repay your great kindness!"
Without further hesitation, the old fox led his people in bowing deeply once more in agreement.
Seeing this, Xuan Yao nodded in satisfaction.
Today, his blessed land and Taoist temple on the outskirts of Xikunlun, Qingheishanling, has begun to take shape and has a touch of the aura of a celestial being.
However, the two boys, Qingya and Yuanguo, could manage some daily tasks such as planting medicinal herbs and sweeping.
However, in terms of the foundation and manpower of this dojo, it is still too weak.
If I could bring back this white fox clan, who are skilled in the arts of marriage and the red thread of fate...
It can not only greatly enrich the manpower of the dojo, but also make the dojo more vibrant.
more importantly.
This fox clan, skilled at understanding cause and effect, was precisely the crucial hidden thread of fate he had planted in advance for the future Heavenly Court and the female immortal system!
"In that case, come with me."
With a wave of his sleeve, Xuan Yao created a gentle breeze that lifted the entire group of white foxes up.
Turning around, he transformed into a streak of light and headed towards Xikunlun, returning laden with spoils!
