Chapter 131: Sudden Change in the Talisman Edict

"Your honor is Lou Fu?"

Chen Hang turned his eyes and bowed his hands, saying.

The person who raised his hand to put away the sword light was a cold-looking youth wearing a green robe. His face was as white as paper, his lips were pale, and his frame was as thin as a lonely bamboo growing in a rock crevice, as if he had been trapped in bed for years, carrying an indelible air of illness.

But this person's eyes were bright as stars, shining and spirited.

Brilliant light sprayed and circulated within them, like a precious sword already out of its sheath, sharp and unstoppable. If it didn't move, it wouldn't, but if it did, it would kill!

"Unchanged in the face of danger, having such courage, no wonder you dared to risk your life to go to Zhao's place to save people. Elder brother is truly righteous."

Lou Fu stepped forward and also bowed his hands, returning the salute:

"Nice to meet you, I am Lou Fu."

Chen Hang smiled slightly and said: "Being of the same race, how can I bear to see them become livestock and blood food raised by Zhao? It's just what should be done. On the contrary, Brother Lou, although you are of the Yin spirit body, you are doing the good deed of saving suffering, which is admirable."

Hearing this, Lou Fu's expression became serious. He slightly lowered his gaze and bowed remotely toward the north before saying:

"If the master has something to do, the disciple will serve... Although I have not been able to be accepted into the sect of Yuanshu Zhenjun Qiao, I have also been taught by the Yuanshu Zhenjun and listened to lectures under his sect. The Yuanshu Zhenjun made me understand morality and also taught me sword techniques and moves; the kindness is truly as heavy as a mountain."

"I do these things just for peace of mind; it's really not worth such praise."

Chen Hang knew that the Yuanshu Zhenjun Qiao he spoke of should be the high-ranking expert from the Zhongyi Sword Sect who carved the mountain into a pillar and left behind the cultivation method of the "Yin-Yin Shi Hong Shui," and his heart could not help but feel a slight chill.

One must know that in the orthodox Immortal Dao, not only were the ranks clear, but the titles given to each realm also followed the traditional old system of the Dao Court, with clear distinctions between high and low.

Embryonic Breathing and Qi Condensation were not in the stream, so they would not be discussed.

Foundation Establishment could be called True Cultivator; Purple Palace and Cave-Mystic were High-ranking experts and Refiners; Golden Core and Primordial Spirit were True Persons and Dharma Masters; Return to Emptiness and Pure Yang were crowned as True Lords.

As for Union with Dao, which was the supreme realm in the Dao, only one step away from a True Immortal, it had the title of Dao Lord.

The Yuanshu Zhenjun Qiao that Lou Fu spoke of, even if he was not a Pure Yang who had achieved the three disasters, was at least Return to Emptiness.

In the Immortal Dao, he was also a great power!

At this moment,

a mysterious turtle-shaped bone ornament hanging from Lou Fu's waist suddenly jumped up, emitting a trembling sound like a bell.

He raised his eyebrows, pinched a formula, and pointed his hand. A golden light the size of a bean rose from the hollow skull of the mysterious turtle, then flashed and slowly flowed through his whole body, as if rendered with a layer of extremely thin flame glow.

Seeing Chen Hang looking over, Lou Fu smiled faintly and took the initiative to explain:

"This is a ghost artifact I refined under the guidance of Yuanshu Zhenjun Qiao. It is called the Small Six-Harmony Turtle and has the ability of an inner scene. Don't look at it as just the size of a palm now; it is actually very vast inside. It was just that the people inside accidentally touched the restriction, so I closed the door..."

"By the way, before coming to look for Brother Chen, I already went to that mansion once and took the nearly one thousand living people inside. The next trivial matters will be left to Lou to settle."

Chen Hang's gaze flashed, and he bowed his hands, saying:

"It's truly a good treasure. I'll thank Brother Lou for this. I don't have such things, and in this Earth Abyss, it's truly inconvenient to travel with nearly a thousand people, and I can't find any suitable place to settle them. It's truly troublesome."

"Such matters are already light and familiar to Lou. What does it count as?"

"However, please forgive Lou for being presumptuous. I wonder what Brother Chen intends to do next?"

Lou Fu looked Chen Hang up and down.

A vigorous fighting intent suddenly surged on his face, as if he were happy to see a hunter and wanted to fight Chen Hang first.

"If there is nothing to do, why don't you and I go together? After Lou settles these people, you and I can discuss swords and compare, mutually verifying what we have learned. Isn't that a beautiful thing?"

Chen Hang's eyes showed slight surprise.

However, recalling the methods for sword cultivators to improve their cultivation, most of them were traveling everywhere to find people to fight and test their methods, in order to sharpen their divine thoughts, he understood.

His Sword Dao realm was still not as good as Lou Fu's.

However, if it came to combat power, it was unknown who would win if the two met.

Upon meeting, Lou Fu felt that this person was unusually dangerous, as if a fierce beast that would pounce and eat people was hidden under that heavenly skin, making all the hair on his body want to stand on end.

Even though he was twenty steps away from Chen Hang, Lou Fu felt extremely stifled, as if covered by a giant rock, and could not help but want to move away.

However, the more this was the case, the higher his fighting intent became! The more violent it surged!

If it weren't for the fact that the ghost artifact he carried still had nearly a thousand people, he would have ignored everything and drawn his sword first!

"I heard that True Person Qiao once carved a mountain into a pillar and left the cultivation method of the Yin-Yin Shi Hong Shui on it, and I am about to go and take a look, to try my luck."

Chen Hang shook his head and said: "As for the fighting, although I also yearn for it, it will be discussed later."

"Wait, Yin-Yin Shi Hong Shui?"

Lou Fu frowned and was speechless for a moment, sighing after a long while.

"I suppose you heard it from Song Rupu? Then Brother Chen should also know the risks involved, so I won't say more. However, if you can truly obtain the cultivation method of the Yin-Yin Shi Hong Shui, who knows, even Yuanshu Zhenjun Qiao might personally break his seclusion to see you..."

The Yuanshu Zhenjun Qiao who taught him sword principles had rarely appeared personally after killing all the Yin spirits of the Zhao cultivators within a radius of one hundred thousand li, and the number of times he lectured had also shrunk.

If he could be summoned by the Yuanshu Zhenjun, who knows, it would be another good fortune.

At this moment,

Lou Fu seemed to have lost interest in talking. After saying a few more words, he flew up and disappeared into the boundless dark Yin clouds above.

"If Brother succeeds in obtaining the method, when you have free time, you can come to Longhou Plain to find me. At that time, Lou will surely sweep the bed to welcome you!"

He laughed, and the long sword at his waist also hummed.

Afterward, only the Yin wind rolled rumblingly.

Lou Fu's figure was already gone from the sky, and no one knew where he had escaped to with the help of the flowing wind.

After Lou Fu left, Chen Hang did not move, just stood in place.

He took out the Golden Cicada from his sleeve and immersed his heart into the One True Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie.

Then, with a slight wave of his sleeve, he summoned Lou Fu's heart image.

"It's actually feasible... It seems his Nether Ghost Dao realm is almost the same as my orthodox Immortal Dao realm?"

Seeing the light and shadow intertwining in front of him, and then slowly revealing the figure of Lou Fu in a green robe, Chen Hang had a realization in his heart.

And using the 【Mohe Victory Secret Light Determination】 to shine down, after looking at the page of "Mohe Golden Book" manifested by Lou Fu's supernatural means,

at this moment, even Chen Hang sighed in his heart.

"Sword Dao Third Realm — Refining Sword into Gang... It's not just the second realm of Sword Dao? No wonder Song Rupu said Lou Fu is the most valued one under the Yuanshu Zhenjun; it turns out this is the reason."

And Lou Fu was born from the turbid Yin, and it had only been about fifty years...

At this age, with this achievement, it was truly extraordinary.

At this moment,

Chen Hang suddenly thought of Xu Zhi.

Although he had subsequently fallen into decadence in his cultivation, he was also an out-and-out Sword Dao genius.

These two were truly the most outstanding talents Chen Hang had ever seen in his life...

Although he was also somewhat happy to see a hunter, Chen Hang did not rush to fight Lou Fu in the One True Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie.

Instead, he exited the Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie, found a large stone not far away, sat on it, and stopped his thoughts to adjust his breath, as if waiting for something.

And sure enough, after only half a cup of tea, he saw Song Rupu, with a bruised nose and swollen face, land with a gust of Yin wind and walk over, limping.

"What happened to you?"

Chen Hang asked.

"Elder brother is actually fine?"

Song Rupu's surprise was even greater, shouting: "Lou Fu didn't find trouble with you? That madman actually changed his nature?"

"Are these injuries on you left by him?"

Song Rupu gritted his teeth, his eyes almost spraying fire, and nodded.

Just now, he was resting in the mansion when a sword light suddenly slashed down, shaving off half the roof. If he hadn't seen it quickly and dodged, he would have lost half his life.

Even before he practiced the sword, Lou Fu was this combative and victory-seeking, repeatedly coming to find Song Rupu to ask for advice.

However, at that time, Song Rupu relied on his old age and deep cultivation, and was always able to suppress Lou Fu, just treating him as a sandbag to beat up, completely as a fun thing during cultivation.

However, after Lou Fu started practicing the sword and received guidance from True Person Qiao, this fun disappeared overnight.

His killing power improved by leaps and bounds, and soon Song Rupu couldn't even block a single sword, and even when he saw Lou Fu, he would go around him, having no face to face him.

Seeing the dissatisfaction in Song Rupu's tone, Chen Hang just smiled and didn't ask more, saying:

"Have the nearly one thousand living people in the mansion been taken away?"

"Taken away. The Small Six-Harmony Turtle in Lou Fu's hand is truly a good treasure. It's just a pity that I don't have the talent and wasn't valued by the True Person."

Song Rupu showed a look of envy in his eyes and was about to go on and on, but then remembered something and suddenly said:

"By the way, elder brother, there is one more thing. I wonder if Lou Fu mentioned it? He wanted me to pass it on to you."

"Tell me."

Song Rupu shrank his head and whispered:

"On the way here, Lou Fu met several generals under Lord Lord Shanhu Duke and Flying Flower Granny. These two great ghosts already knew that Miss Yue was dead and were coming to capture and kill you to avenge their daughter.

Why don't we leave? The Earth Abyss is vast, and temporarily avoiding them is also a wonderful strategy."

Hearing this, Chen Hang was not surprised, just nodded.

He stayed here just to wait for Lou Fu to take the living people away.

Now that it was done, even if Lord Lord Shanhu Duke didn't send generals to capture him, he should leave.

The turbid ghost soldiers cultivated by Miss Yue had all been eaten by him in these few days. Although he hadn't pushed the Taisu Jade Body to the Seventh Layer of the Mystic Realm, he had filled more than half of the spiritual energy required.

In any case, the decision was to eat ghosts to cultivate, and the Earth Abyss was not lacking in ghosts, and the wealth and private collections in Miss Yue's mansion had also been searched clean.

Since that was the case...

"Then let's go. I'll trouble your honor to lead me to read the scripture."

Chen Hang waved a white light, wrapped his body, and took the lead in flying away.

Song Rupu was overjoyed. He had originally worried that Chen Hang was young and arrogant, insisting on staying here to fight to the death with Lord Lord Shanhu Duke's generals.

Acting like this was exactly what he wanted to save his life, so he felt relieved.

He hurriedly summoned a gust of Yin wind, rose into the air, and chased after the white light in front...

Half a month later.

In a red sand valley full of strange withered vines.

Chen Hang reached out and held Song Rupu's shoulder, also using the Scattered Scene Concealment Technique to cover his aura, as if they were just two ordinary mountain stones, not showing anything at all.

The man and the ghost hid in a depression in the valley, facing a dense, tangled mass of hideous, withered vines that resembled human intestines, blocking everything completely.

"Finally gone..."

I don't know how much time passed.

Seeing that the thick black cloud covering the valley entrance finally drifted away, and countless fierce ghosts with green faces and fangs in the black cloud left after finding nothing,

Song Rupu finally put his heart back into his belly, his divine intent slightly settled.

His face was pale, and he looked at Chen Hang, who was expressionless on the side, and couldn't help but admire him.

As early as when he first caught a glimpse of the figures of a few ghosts, he wanted to kill them, but Chen Hang stopped him and pulled him to the bottom of the valley.

Initially, he didn't understand the meaning.

But only dozens of breaths passed.

After seeing the terrifying scene of the black cloud covering the valley entrance and the ghosts screaming, Song Rupu understood...

"Elder brother is truly sharp in spirit; this little brother is far from being able to compare."

Song Rupu praised sincerely, then added:

"In that cloud just now, the leader was the instructor under Lord Lord Shanhu Duke, Gao Pi! That old ghost is extremely fierce. I heard that he has swallowed more than one high-ranking expert of the Purple Palace realm in the orthodox Immortal Dao. If we met him, it would be troublesome!"

"How far is this place from that stone pillar?"

Chen Hang asked.

"It's not far, at most half a day's journey. The Wuyun Wild territory where the stone pillar is located is the sphere of influence of a Jing cultivator great ghost god. He, like Lou Fu, was summoned by that senior from the Zhongyi Sword Sect. Even if Gao Pi has the courage of heaven, he would only dare to splash in Wuyun Wild; otherwise, Lord Lord Shanhu Duke would be the first to kill him."

Speaking of this, Song Rupu was also puzzled.

Miss Yue was clearly not favored.

But she died, and Gao Pi actually chased her for thousands of miles, almost to Wuyun Wild?

What kind of logic is this?

Before he could think of a reason,

Chen Hang suddenly felt something, opened his Qiankun bag, and threw out a red thread from inside!

And the red thread exploded with fierce Dragon-Tiger True Essence the moment it was thrown out, like a cluster of sparks! In an instant, it scorched the place where the person and ghost stood until it was charcoal black, and even the withered vines burned fiercely!

"What is this?"

Song Rupu was startled by this sudden change, rolled and crawled away, his eyes horrified.

"The Earth Abyss Talisman Edict bestowed by Ai Jian contains a trace of his Dragon-Tiger True Qi; by attaching a form to it, it is said to be enough to make the ordinary Yin ghosts of the Earth Abyss fear it by three parts..."

The Dragon-Tiger True Qi attached to that red rope burned out in an instant.

Along with the red rope, it was burned to ashes.

Only shallow residual ash remained...

Chen Hang thought to himself, his gaze lowered:

"I clearly haven't activated it yet, but this red rope moved on its own. Could it be that some change has occurred at Ai Jian's place?"

And at the same time,

the Talisman Edict red ropes on the Xuanzhen Sect cultivators in the Earth Abyss all activated on their own, exploding with flame light, causing a burst of surprise!

"What's going on? Why is the sect master's Dragon-Tiger True Essence out of control?"

An old-looking Xuanzhen Sect cultivator's pupils shrank, clearly knowing some inside information, and he took a few steps back.

He looked at his companions, his heart horrified:

"The sect master is injured? Who could injure him? Could it be that Yan Feichen has rebelled?!"

Just as everyone was in a panic,

Xiaogan Mountain.

Xuanzhen Sect.

Ai Jian's blood surged to his face. He stood up from the Xuanhe Jade Couch in terror, feeling the earth spinning and the sky turning, as if he couldn't stand steadily, and was about to fall.

"Chen Ying, who did you say died?"

His eyes were splitting, staring fixedly at someone, his voice trembling:

"Senior Brother Wang Shu is dead?!" ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
