Chapter 129

"It is said that once the Earth Spirit Gray Mist is inhaled into the body, it immediately integrates into the blood, and then the body stiffens rapidly until it cannot move." Zuoqiu Lanlan held her breath and asked in horror: "Brother Che, you are well-informed, is it really like this?"

The five people retreated rapidly toward the area in the valley without Earth Spirit Gray Mist.

Tian Che's face was ugly: "Not only that, if inhaled too much, flesh and blood will rot rapidly."

"Don't scare yourself, we only inhaled a little bit, hurry and operate magic power to refine it."

Arriving at a flat area in the valley, Zuoqiu Baiming inserted the green shadow banner into the ground and operated it by spitting out magic power.

"Whoosh!"

The shadow banner fluttered, rising and becoming bigger rapidly, emitting a layer of green light gauze, covering several zhang of the surrounding area. Dozens of departed spirits wearing armor appeared in the light gauze, each heroic and majestic, holding knives to guard the four directions.

With Zuoqiu Baiming's cultivation, he could only operate this high-grade magic tool shadow banner to this extent.

He stared at Shang Zhi and said in a commanding tone: "You come to operate the shadow banner."

"Me?"

How could Shang Zhi not know that the situation was critical?

Grasping the refining of the Earth Spirit Gray Mist in his body was the top priority.

"Your strength is the weakest, of course it's you. Rest assured, I won't leave you behind; wait for me to refine the Earth Spirit Gray Mist, kill this group of guys who don't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth, and I will naturally take action to save you myself."

Zuoqiu Baiming heard the sound of wind breaking getting closer and closer, anxious in his heart, lost his patience, and scolded: "Hurry up, don't force me to split you with one knife now."

When Zuoqiu Baiming entered the mountain, he had already decided to kill Li Youyi and Shang Zhi after using them, swallowing their credit and harvest. At this moment, he was anxious and actually spoke his inner thoughts.

Facing the Sky Flame Knife hanging over his head, Shang Zhi was forced to be helpless, walked under the green shadow banner, and mobilized magic power to inject into it continuously.

Although he was the heaven-favored child of the Beast Li tribe, he was chased and praised by countless clansmen on weekdays, but now he could only swallow his pride. If he had the strength of the second realm of the Five Seas Realm, why would he suffer this humiliation?

Zuoqiu Baiming sat cross-legged, already feeling his skin slightly numb; the Earth Spirit Gray Mist was more terrifying than he imagined, and his mood became extremely heavy instantly.

Li Youyi looked at Zuoqiu Baiming, whose whole body was shrouded in magic power, his sense of crisis was strong, secretly rejoicing that he had shown part of his strength earlier, otherwise he would definitely have been pulled to operate the shadow banner now.

"Whoosh!"

The fox monster wrapped in departed spirit human skin rushed into the valley.

It looked at the five people in the shadow banner, its pupils turned red, snorted coldly, and took action decisively, never giving the opponent time to refine the Earth Spirit Gray Mist.

The white pendant on its neck was operated by magic power, releasing dazzling light.

It struck out with a fist, the sound of wind and thunder echoing through the valley, hitting the green light gauze released by the shadow banner heavily.

"Boom!"

Inside the light gauze, fifteen of the departed spirits wearing armor merged together, slashing out with a knife together, blocking this fist that shook the sky and the earth.

Many mountain stones on the surrounding steep cliffs were shaken and rolled down.

The green light gauze appeared with impact patterns like waves. However, it was calm inside.

Zuoqiu Baiming, while refining the Earth Spirit Gray Mist, smiled: "My green banner is a high-grade magic tool; how can it be broken by your monster type?"

Li Youyi's night-traveling clothes were also high-grade magic tools, but their defensive power was far inferior to the green banner, focusing more on invisibility and speed, and only by walking the path of assassination could they exert the strongest effect.

"Whoosh! Whoosh..."

Several more figures entered the valley.

In addition to three Five Seas Realm monster cultivators, there was also a tall figure wrapped in departed spirit human skin, holding a white shadow banner and a battle knife hanging at his waist.

He had a strong aura, eyes like torches, and the magic power emitted from his body filled the valley; he was a top figure at the second realm of the Five Seas Realm.

Li Youyi mobilized the dawn glow in his divine palace to quickly refine the Earth Spirit Gray Mist in his body, and the numbness of his skin and flesh disappeared. He looked outside the light gauze and recognized the figure wrapped in departed spirit human skin holding the white shadow banner: "Xue Qi, you have such great courage, the Sui Sect is an enemy of the Zuoqiu Gate; have you thought about the consequences?"

Under the departed spirit human skin, Xue Qi's tone was flat, and he said to the fox monster powerhouse of Tianya Ridge: "Kill them all, don't leave any alive."

"The Zuoqiu Gate sent these three Pure Immortal Bodies into the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain, which itself has the meaning of training them; it is reasonable for them all to die."

The fox monster powerhouse fully operated the high-grade magic tool pendant on its neck, and the power fluctuations on its body continued to increase.

The third figure wrapped in departed spirit human skin spread its wings, flew over the valley, four meters tall, its voice echoing through the valley, and smiled: "The flesh and blood of Pure Immortal Bodies are extremely delicious; this time, it seems we can eat to our heart's content."

He was the leader of Coffin Mountain, with the Dharma name "Earth Burning," a mutant who had swallowed the blood of two ancient immortal giant beasts, possessing two monster characteristics, growing wings on his back, and arms covered in flame scales.

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

Various attacks fell from all directions, knocking away the departed spirits wearing armor on the green light gauze one by one.

"Brother Baiming, it's not very good; Tianya Ridge has united with multiple forces; today they dare to take action against you in the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain, tomorrow they might dare to attack Lizhou."

After Li Youyi said this, he stood up, leaving Zuoqiu Baiming with a graceful back: "No matter what, someone must survive; you continue to refine, I will go help Shang Zhi operate the shadow banner."

He dared not use the dawn glow in front of Zuoqiu Baiming, afraid of attracting jealousy and causing a death catastrophe, so he didn't dare to refine the Earth Spirit Gray Mist for them.

Zuoqiu Lanlan and Tian Che opened their eyes one after another, looked at Li Youyi who was operating the shadow banner, and all revealed moving emotions, and the suspicion of some of his previous behaviors in their hearts naturally vanished.

This Sima Tan...

Truly righteous!

As Li Youyi released magic power to surge into the shadow banner, more departed spirits wearing armor flew out of the shadow banner.

"Can't wait any longer! Although Zuoqiu Baiming is a straw bag, his martial arts talent and combat power are extremely strong; can't let him refine the Earth Spirit Gray Mist completely."

Xue Qi retreated several zhang and took out a three-inch square jade box from his sleeve.

Unsealing the seal on the surface, the jade box opened, and purple dawn glow and lightning emitted from inside.

Unless it was a last resort, he didn't want to use this powerful treasure.

Li Youyi wanted to drag the Zuoqiu Gate into the water, forcing them to provide greater support to help the Nine Li tribe deal with the extinction crisis that was about to come. Xue Qi also wanted to bind forces like Tianya Ridge and Coffin Mountain to the Sui Sect's war chariot, and have a chance to destroy the Nine Li tribe and force the Zuoqiu Gate to make a new choice. In the face of the general trend and the gain or loss of interests, even a thousand-gate family had to compromise.

From Zuoqiu Ting's behavior, the Sui Sect saw the attitude of the Zuoqiu Gate.

Obviously, the Zuoqiu Gate still wanted to support the Nine Li tribe to be the master of Lizhou.

Then the Sui Sect could only be deeply bound to forces like Tianya Ridge and Coffin Mountain to have a chance to destroy the Nine Li tribe and force the Zuoqiu Gate to make a new choice. In the face of the general trend and the gain or loss of interests, even a thousand-gate family had to compromise.

Therefore, Tianya Ridge wanted to deal with Zuoqiu Baiming, and Xue Qi was very active, not only wanting to help them snatch back the immortal soil, but also wanting to kill everyone from the Zuoqiu Gate!

As a child of the younger generation, he could only do this step. Perhaps in the face of the overall situation, the influence was as light as a straw, but it might not become the last straw that changed the decision of the higher-ups.

The wind rises at the end of the green duckweed, and the waves form between the micro-ripples.

The Sui Sect could have today's momentum, which was created by one after another green duckweed micro-ripples working hard together. The goal Xue Qi pursued was the leader Yao Qian, and the Sect Master Yang Shenjing.

"Not good, it's Thunder Law Mysterious Ice."

Li Youyi recognized the thing in Xue Qi's hand, his face changed drastically, and he immediately mobilized the ten springs to operate the several defensive magic tools on his body.

"Boom!"

Xue Qi struck out the Thunder Law Mysterious Ice in the jade box, the ice crystals shattered, releasing streaks of bright purple electric beams.

Some electric beams flew dozens of meters away, hitting the mountain cliff, the mountain stones cracked, and the trees burned.

The departed spirits wearing armor exploded one by one, and the green light gauze released by the shadow banner was torn into a huge hole several meters long.

"Slap bang!"

Li Youyi and Shang Zhi were thrown out by the lightning one after another.

The fox monster powerhouse and Xue Qi had mysterious movement techniques and strange speed, and were the first to rush into the area covered by the light gauze, attacking Zuoqiu Baiming who was sitting cross-legged.

Li Youyi stood up quickly, rubbed his chest, and checked his whole body.

No injuries.

Shang Zhi sat up slowly, the blood patterns on his talisman robe flickering, blocking this death catastrophe. But his flesh and blood became stiff, his limbs were difficult to move, and the strange power of the Earth Spirit Gray Mist had entered his heart.

Li Youyi was not a person who didn't save those in danger, and was preparing to pull him up to escape together.

"Whoosh! Whoosh..."

Countless metal feathers fell from above, piercing Shang Zhi's body into a sieve of blood holes.

After knocking away the metal feathers, Li Youyi rushed to Shang Zhi's side and helped him up. He only had one last breath left, his eyes wide open, tightly grabbing Li Youyi's sleeve: "Hurry and escape... descend the mountain... Zuoqiu... Baiming... unreliable..."

Li Youyi's mood was extremely complicated; although the friendship was not deep, he had a good impression of Shang Zhi. As a Nine Springs Supreme Person, he should have had a boundless future, but he died in an instant; it was truly the impermanence of the world.

He touched Shang Zhi's money bag with his fingers.

In the end, he took it off; anyway, he wouldn't be able to use it anymore!

"Go, hurry and leave this place. The entrance of the valley must be blocked by a large number of Wu Xiu, can't go, we will escape from the cliff of the valley."

Zuoqiu Baiming's combat power was not to be underestimated; he fought back the joint attack of the fox monster and Xue Qi with his own strength, then carried his knife and leaped toward the cliff on the left side of the valley. With one jump, he was six or seven zhang high.

The cliff was not steep, with hanging cypresses, and could be climbed easily like an ape with the cultivation of a Five Seas Realm Wu Xiu.

Zuoqiu Lanlan and Tian Che released magic power, performed movement techniques, and followed quickly.

The fox monster and Xue Qi didn't care about Li Youyi at all, only looking at Zuoqiu Baiming who was escaping at the very front, left and right, chasing upward.

Li Youyi looked up at the giant mutant figure with metal wings hovering above; it was he who killed Shang Zhi, and his strength was quite strong.

"The entrance of the valley must be dangerous, but would the people of Tianya Ridge, Sui Sect, and Coffin Mountain not know that they could escape from the cliff? If the opponent attacks from top to bottom, occupying the geographical advantage, I'm afraid they will only die faster."

"Then break out from the front."

Li Youyi made a decision quickly, his eyes swept over the three Five Seas Realm monster creatures that were surrounding him, unhurriedly, carried Shang Zhi's corpse, tied it to his body, and prepared to bring it back to the Nine Li tribe for burial.

Once he took the money, he would do things, and he wouldn't let the deceased feel cold.

With one hand holding Shang Zhi's magic tool battle knife, and the other hand grabbing the green shadow banner abandoned by Zuoqiu Baiming who was fleeing in a panic, his eyes were sharp: "If you don't want to die, retreat to the side."

Dropping these words, Li Youyi rushed toward the entrance of the valley quickly.

"Just a Wu Xiu at the first realm of the Five Seas Realm, how strong can he be?"

"Three against one, the advantage is with us."

The three Five Seas Realm monster creatures looked at each other, then rushed toward Li Youyi from three directions. They knew Li Youyi's formidable strength, so they went all out when they took action.
