Chapter 391: Remains in the Spring
A strange color flashed in Taoist Juechen's eyes, as if he had other considerations for Ye Chunyang, but he quickly turned away as if nothing had happened, as if he was only targeting Ju Ruhai.
"No, no, Taoist Juechen is joking. According to the information left by my predecessor, the Pixiu seems to have reached the second-level middle stage, and it takes the three of us to subdue it. Both of you were invited by Ju, so how could you not want Taoist Juechen to come here with you?"
Ju Ruhai seemed to be unaware of the meaning of Taoist Juechen's words. It sounded like he was very welcoming to him, but only he knew whether he was consistent in his words and deeds.
Taoist Juechen sneered and said nothing.
In fact, after entering the inner sect, he secretly followed Ju Ruhai. He wanted to show up after he found the Pixiu, but he didn't expect that the other party would encounter the demon-eating Gu. Taoist Juechen was afraid that if he acted alone again, he would encounter some unpredictable dangers. Moreover, he never expected that Ye Chunyang not only did not die, but also came here and took the demon-eating Gu in his pocket with amazing means.
After thinking for a while, Taoist Master Juechen changed his mind and decided to show up and go with the two of them, so that he could use them to block some risks for himself.
Seeing that no one spoke, Ju Ruhai coughed dryly and said, "Since the two of you are here, we might as well go into this spiritual spring to explore it. I think with the foundation of Lingxu Sect, even if the Pixiu is not here, there will be some treasures in the spiritual spring."
While speaking, he once again offered up the platinum sword and continuously cast spells into it.
Ye Chunyang watched quietly, without expressing his opinion, but looked at Taoist Master Juechen vaguely, with some strangeness in his heart.
"I didn't expect that Taoist Master Ju still has a top-grade spiritual treasure in his hand. I have known you for many years, but I have never heard that Taoist Master has such a treasure."
Just when Ye Chunyang was secretly contemplating, Taoist Master Juechen suddenly laughed strangely and said.
Ye Chunyang was not surprised when he heard this. With his spiritual sense, he had already noticed that Ju Ruhai's platinum sword was of extraordinary grade, but he did not expect that it was actually a top-grade spiritual treasure.
Ju Ruhai said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Juechen, please forgive me for laughing. This treasure is indeed a top-grade spiritual treasure, but it is not Ju's. And I believe that the two Daoists have also seen that this treasure is only a clone, not a complete thing. This time I borrowed it from the senior of the sect just for self-defense."
Hearing this, Taoist Juechen chuckled, and Ye Chunyang also looked normal and did not answer.
After saying this, Ju Ruhai did not intend to explain any more. He immediately waved the platinum sword, and the surrounding spiritual energy rolled back. Several attics within a radius of several feet collapsed instantly, revealing a passage leading directly to the spiritual spring.
Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a bit of solemnity flashed through his heart. He did not expect that the power of this sword was so great that it destroyed several surrounding buildings with one strike.
On the other side, Taoist Master Juechen also showed a look of surprise, and it was obvious that the power of this sword was beyond his expectation.
"Two Taoist friends, the spiritual spring here has opened, but I wonder which Taoist friend is more proficient in water-attributed skills and can lead the way for us?"
After splitting the surface of the spiritual spring into two sides, Ju Ruhai put away the platinum sword and turned back to ask the two.
Ye Chunyang seemed to be thinking about something, but then Taoist Master Juechen unexpectedly spoke first: "I have cultivated a water-breaking magical power, which can pass through this spiritual spring. This time, let me explore the way first, and the two Taoist friends will follow."
"I have heard that Taoist Master Juechen has a magical power of water attributes. Since Taoist friends have taken the initiative to volunteer, I will rely on you this time." Ju Ruhai's eyes lit up and he chuckled.
"Okay, okay."
Without waiting for Ye Chunyang and Ju Ruhai to make any moves, Taoist Master Juechen used both hands to perform a spell, and a round of blue light shield appeared on his body, and he fled to the spiritual spring first.
Ju Ruhai immediately followed.
Behind, Ye Chunyang looked at the place where Taoist Juechen escaped, his eyes flickered slightly, and finally a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to have deep meaning. Then, without saying anything, he quickly cast a spell to follow.
The blue light under the spiritual spring was bright, just like diving into the seabed, but as he went deeper, Ye Chunyang found that the pressure increased exponentially, and most people would be forced to retreat after only three feet.
Fortunately, the three people in the group were not ordinary people. Although the spiritual pressure here was strong, it was not difficult for them. At this moment, they each used their magical powers and quickly fled to the bottom of the spiritual spring.
Taoist Juechen led the way in front, without any abnormal performance. As they went deeper, the three people did not encounter any danger. On the contrary, the spiritual energy became more abundant as they went to the bottom of the spiritual spring.
Ye Chunyang was amazed. If the purpose at this time was not to find Pixiu, it would be good to practice in seclusion here.
However, in comparison, he carried a spiritual tree with him to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at all times, which was much more convenient than this fixed spiritual spring. Therefore, he only had a slight feeling about this place and had no real intention of practicing here.
Moreover, the situation here has not been explored yet, so it is better to be cautious at this time.
Concentrating in his heart, he followed the two people indifferently.
But for some reason, as he went deeper into the spiritual spring, he seemed to have something strange in his heart, but he couldn't tell what kind of premonition it was, and he always felt that this place would not be peaceful.
"Boy, this spiritual spring seems to be not simple, you have to be careful." Ye Chunyang just had a premonition, and Guanglingzi reminded him.
"Did the senior find anything?"
Ye Chunyang's heart moved. Since he met this old monster, there are not many things that he can pay attention to. At this time, he deliberately reminded him. I am afraid that there are some unknown secrets hidden in this spiritual spring.
"I didn't find anything, but I just felt that the atmosphere here is a bit weird, so you'd better be careful." Guanglingzi said slowly.
Ye Chunyang frowned secretly. Guang Lingzi seemed relaxed, but it was not difficult to hear the other party's solemnity from his words. It seemed that this spiritual spring was indeed not what it seemed on the surface.
He immediately became alert.
Just as Ye Chunyang was secretly observing, Taoist Master Juechen in front suddenly stopped and looked back at him and Ju Ruhai, his eyebrows knitted together.
"The spiritual spring here can sustain an ancient sect, so it must be extremely deep. Now it is only a third of the way down, but the spiritual pressure is already so strong. If it goes deeper, even the magical powers of the three of us will not be able to resist it. Fellow Daoist Ju, you Are you sure Pixiu is really here?" Taoist Master Juechen asked with a gloomy look.
Ju Ruhai also paused.
He glanced around slightly, and after a moment he said with some uncertainty: "Fellow Taoist Juechen, please be patient. I'm really not sure that Pixiu is in this spiritual spring, but judging from all aspects, the entire Lingxu Sect, except for There is no other suitable place for Pi Xiu to hide outside of this place.”
Taoist Priest Juechen frowned and looked a little ugly. When he reached this point, he found that the spiritual pressure in the spiritual spring was beyond human resistance, and so far he had not found any trace of Pixiu. If he went deeper, even with his water The attribute magical power may not be able to resist it, so I can't help but hesitate.
Ju Ruhai also had some hesitation on his face. He naturally felt that the spiritual pressure here had doubled. Although their cultivation level could barely resist it, if they continued to dive, it was a matter of two minds whether they could continue to support it.
But now that he is here, how can he be willing to give up halfway.
Ju Ruhai was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth after a long time, and said: "I have gone through many dangers to get here. I guess you two are not willing to give up just now, right?"
"Of course we are not willing to give up." Taoist Master Juechen snorted coldly and said, "However, everything must be done within one's ability. The spiritual pressure of this spiritual spring is extremely heavy. We are only at the initial stage of our cultivation, and there is no way we can go deep into it. , so before we continue to move forward, we still need to have a countermeasure. "
Hearing this, Ju Ruhai nodded secretly and agreed deeply.
After a pause, he turned back to Ye Chunyang and asked, "Fellow Daoist Ye, what do you think?"
Ye Chunyang listened to the conversation between the two indifferently and did not express any opinions. However, as the conversation deepened, the strange premonition just now became stronger, and he always felt that something might happen here.
He frowned slightly and pondered for a while, then said: "I think it's okay to continue going deeper, but what Taoist fellow Taoist Juechen said is reasonable. The situation here is unclear. If things cannot be done, we still need to retreat."
Hearing this, Ju Ruhai looked happy.
He nodded and said: "Since both of you agree to continue exploring, we will dive down again. If we are really unable to withstand the spiritual pressure, we will retreat immediately. What do you two fellow Taoists think?"
"Just follow what Taoist friend Ju said."
"Ye has no objection."
The two nodded one after another, indicating that they had no objection to this.
After agreeing, the three people continued to use their magical powers and fled forward again.
Blue spiritual light emanated from the spring, and the pressure on the spiritual spring became more and more serious. After walking forward for about half an hour, Ye Chunyang clearly felt that his magic power was also being suppressed, and his escape speed was forced to slow down.
Taoist Master Juechen and Ju Ruhai were also faced with this situation, but they were also experienced people and knew that the situation here was unknown, so they did not dare to consume too much mana.
"Huh? Look, what is that?"
At this moment, Ju Ruhai suddenly let out a cry of surprise, looking at something with hesitation.
When Ye Chunyang and Taoist Priest Juechen heard this, they both followed his gaze and then stopped involuntarily. They found a dark light faintly emitting in the distance, which was a bit strange.
The three of them looked at each other and fled toward the light out of curiosity.
But as they approached, their expressions changed slightly, with shock on their faces.
"How can there be a remains here?"
"Could he be a disciple of the ancient Lingxu Sect?"
Ju Ruhai and Taoist Priest Juechen looked at each other, feeling shocked.
This black light is actually a corpse, and the black light lingers on it, giving people a sense of gloom and evil. After noticing this, Taoist Master Juechen and Ju Ruhai both subconsciously took half a step back.
Ye Chunyang was also slightly surprised.
What shocked him was not that there was an ancient monk sitting in the spiritual spring, but that the evil spirit lingered on this skeleton, which seemed like a demon but not a demon, a ghost but not a ghost, a unique aura between the devil and the ghost. Some forbidden curses were placed on him before his death.
Looking up and down at the remains of the ancient monk, the three of them were a little surprised and did not dare to step forward rashly.
At this moment, Taoist Priest Juechen glanced at the waist of the remains, his eyes lit up, and said: "To be able to sit in the sect's spiritual spring, this person must be a high-ranking person in the Lingxu Sect, and there must be something on him." There is a lot hidden, let me come and see what treasures he has in his Qiankun bag."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed it.
Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows and wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
