Chapter 372: Fairy Shadow Expansion
This war went as quickly as it came.
Thanks to the Xianchen Sect's powerful sect-protecting formation and the strong fighting power of the elders, the Xianchen Sect did not suffer any losses.
The battlefield was quickly cleaned up, but the Fairy Dust Sect was still under martial law.
But it is not a problem if things continue like this. The Fairy Dust Sect has dispatched many strong men to search for traces of the remaining ascended ones.
Not only the Immortal Chen Sect, but also all the sects in the Immortal Shadow Realm, large and small, were on alert after this battle.
Large sects must be careful about becoming the next target of attacks, while small sects can only seek shelter. Once they are besieged, they are not as strong as the Fairy Dust Sect and will be destroyed in the hands of the ascendants in an instant.
The four major immortal sects attach great importance to this and have organized a meeting to discuss how to deal with these ascendants and how to protect the safety of the small sects and people in the Immortal Shadow Realm. And a lot of action has been taken.
This includes mobilizing top formation mages to go to various small sects and build temporary defense formations for them.
And let the strong men of the four major immortal sects sit in various small and medium-sized sects.
Li Xiuchang and other senior brothers and sisters also discussed this.
It is hard to believe that this group of Ascended Ones are so fearless in their attack that they are doing so completely of their own free will.
It's more like being manipulated by someone, so that everyone can act so uniformly and have such a strong will!
"Who on earth can control so many people to attack the Fairy Dust Sect collectively?"
"Who has this ability? And also has this motive?"
Speaking of manipulating people's hearts, Li Xiuchang thought of a person and blurted out: "Ancestor Tianxiang!"
Seeing that all the senior brothers and sisters were looking at him, he explained: "I heard that Chu Ya has made some progress in killing love silk recently. Maybe Tianxiang Ancestor has also sensed this. Is she trying to save herself?"
No one doubts that Ancestor Tianxiang has the ability to control people's hearts, and she also has the motivation.
"If she really did it, then those ascendants outside are not coming to the Fairy Dust Sect, but to us?"
"Ancestor Tianxiang is in our hands, and we are all in the Xianchen Sect. Their purpose is to rescue Tianxiang, so they will naturally attack the Xianchen Sect."
"These are all our guesses. We will find out if we release Tianxiang and ask."
Chen Changsheng waved his sleeves, and Tianxiang Patriarch appeared in the room.
She was restrained and had her cultivation sealed, but she was surrounded by a group of strong men at the same level but she didn't panic at all. She showed a charming smile and said sweetly:
"A group of you are surrounding me, do you want to have fun with me?"
Xia Siyun snorted coldly: "Stop being so arrogant. Did you invite those ascendants outside?"
"Do you believe me if I tell you not?"
"Yes, or no, I want to hear your direct answer. If you don't talk nonsense, you can try it."
Xia Sijun didn't have the patience to talk to her anymore. A ball of flame appeared in his hand, making the surrounding air hot.
Li Xiuchang followed the other senior brothers and took a few steps back, leaving the woman to deal with him.
"Although I won't kill you now, there are ways to torture you." Xia Siyun walked up to Tianxiang holding a flame. No one would doubt that she would cover Tianxiang's head with the flame in the next moment.
Ancestor Tianxiang's expression changed slightly, and he was very sensible and did not speak harshly. He simply admitted: "They are all my love slaves."
The so-called love slave is someone who has been planted with love by her and can be used by her.
Chu Ya can also be regarded as her love slave, but because of her special status and the fact that she has not yet grown up, she does not interfere too much in Chu Ya's life.
But now, Chu Ya has the momentum to escape from her control.
Hearing Tianxiang's admission, the senior brothers and sisters looked at each other, but they did not expect that they would be the ones causing trouble for the Xianchen Sect.
Tianxiang chuckled and said: "I suggest you let me go, otherwise my love slaves will expose your identities even if they can't save me, and whatever plans you have in the Fairy Dust Sect will come to nothing!"
Zhang Wanzhi said sarcastically: "You are already old, so you should say less such innocent words in the future."
No matter what, they couldn't just let Ancestor Tianxiang go.
Motu knew the most about this kind of magic that controls people's hearts. As an expert in magic, he explained to everyone:
"Tianxiang's Taoist love plant cannot accurately deliver specific messages to those who have been planted with love. It can at best deliver vague instructions, such as summoning all love slaves to come and rescue her.
"So don't worry, she can't pass our identity information to those love slaves through love, and there is no possibility of revealing our identity."
Chen Changsheng said: "Even so, we can't ignore it completely. If she makes such a big fuss, the Xianchen Sect will definitely try to find out the reason. Maybe we will be found out in the end. And her love slaves, Can you sense her location?"
Motu nodded: "Tianxiang can accurately sense the position of each love slave through the love seed. If she is willing, she can also let those love slaves sense her position in reverse, but it is only a general direction and cannot be accurately locked."
To put it simply, the love slaves can sense that Tianxiang is in the Fairy Dust Sect, but they cannot pinpoint the specific location.
"No wonder those love slaves came straight to Xianchen Sect!" Zhang Wan knew, "In this case, kill this witch as soon as possible to avoid future troubles."
This is indeed a simple and easy-to-use method that can solve all the troubles.
Killing Tianxiang will cut off all the love ties, and those love slaves will naturally become birds and beasts and disperse, and will not continue to die.
But Chen Changsheng shook his head: "I promised Ye Yuqiu to give Chu Ya some more time, especially now that Chu Ya has shown signs of severing his love. Killing Tianxiang now will make all his previous efforts in vain, and I'm afraid he will completely offend Ye Yuqiu. ”
They had cooperated with Ye Yuqiu several times before and had always enjoyed it, and they did not want to lose such a useful and reliable ally.
Lu Yang suggested: "Even if we can't kill her, we can't keep Tianxiang in the Xianchen Sect any longer. Let's send her away immediately."
"That's all it can do, but where to send it?"
Motu said calmly: "Send them to the Dark Heaven Realm, lure all the love slaves there, and kill them one by one."
Xia Siyun said: "You can also send it to the Demon Suppression Realm so that the love slaves can't find their way there."
Chen Changsheng shook his head and rejected both of their suggestions.
"Dark Heaven Realm is Tianxiang's home base. If you send her there, there may be changes. Moreover, the new order of Dark Heaven Realm has not been established for a long time, and it still needs to recuperate. Once a large number of love slaves come in, it may pose a threat to the people."
They didn't know how many love slaves Tianxiang had, and since the Dark Heaven Realm was so big and a group of love slaves were pouring in, it would be difficult for them to guard it tightly.
The four major Immortal Sects are so powerful that they cannot completely control the Immortal Shadow Realm, and their Mochen Sect in the Dark Heaven Realm is not enough to cover the entire Dark Heaven Realm.
"As for the demon-suppressing world, it's not that outsiders can't enter. As long as they find the passage to the lower world, they can go in, but they can't get out after they go in. But those who are brave enough to save Tianxiang are not afraid of death, so this doesn't scare them. Retreat them."
"The key is that the situation in the demon-suppressing world is more complicated. If a group of love slaves are attracted and some bad changes are caused, the consequences will be more serious."
The other senior brothers and sisters all nodded. What Chen Changsheng said did make sense.
There are many hidden dangers in the Demon Suppressing Realm. On weekdays, Chen Changsheng would even cut off the teleportation arrays connected to the Demon Suppressing Realm, just for fear that the hidden dangers there would erupt and affect the upper realm.
The hidden dangers in the demon-suppressing world are of terrifyingly high levels. Once they break out, they are definitely not something that Chen Changsheng and the others can deal with.
Therefore, to be conservative, it is not suitable to transfer Tianxiang to the demon-suppressing world.
At present, they only control the Dark Heaven Realm and the Demon Suppressing Realm. If they choose other worlds, once a commotion is caused, they will inevitably conflict with the local forces.
Li Xiuchang suggested: "How about going to the Pure Land Realm?"
The Pure Land Realm is their loyal ally, and the monks take it as their own duty to kill demons. They will definitely be happy to help deal with demons like Tianxiang.
"Okay, then let's go to the Pure Land."
Everyone thought about it and found that there was really no better choice than the Pure Land Realm.
Just when they were about to leave to send Tianxiang to the Pure Land, another shocking news came!
Xianyin is accelerating its expansion!
The acceleration this time was very obvious. Different from the slow and constant expansion in the past, this time Xian Yin exploded suddenly and expanded instantly.
It swallowed up the Jiufeng Temple that Li Xiuchang had visited before.
Although it only broke out once and then stopped, it still attracted the attention of all the major forces in the Immortal Shadow World and caused deep uneasiness in the hearts of those who knew the inside story.
They all know that the Immortal Shadow is expanding, and they know that the Immortal Shadow World will one day be covered by shadow.
But in the past this progress could be predicted.
The speed of Xianyin's expansion is very stable. Everyone knows that there will be no threat in a short time, and there is still enough time to find a way to stop it or find a way out.
But now that Xian Yin's abnormal sudden outbreak has made it impossible for everyone to make accurate predictions about the progress of Xian Yin's expansion.
Since it can happen once, can it also happen two or three times, or even thousands of times?
This eruption only expanded in a circle, but maybe the next eruption will directly cover half of the Immortal Shadow?
Who can say for sure!
The sharp sword hanging above my head, I knew when it would fall, so I wasn't so scared.
Now knowing that it could fall at any time, no one dared to stand under the sword.
The unknown and the uncontrollable are the most frightening.
Moreover, the expansion of Xianyin is related to the life and death of hundreds of millions of people in the entire Xianyin world, so it is inevitable that the high-level monks in Xianyin world do not pay attention to it.
However, Li Xiuchang and the others were suspicious of Xian Yin's abnormal expansion. It was such a coincidence that as soon as something happened to Ancestor Tianxiang, Xian Yin showed abnormality right after.
It's hard not to think that there is some connection between the two events.
Therefore, they interrogated Patriarch Tianxiang again, but this time Patriarch Tianxiang denied it, saying that Li Xiuchang and the others thought too highly of themselves and that she had no ability to manipulate the expansion of Immortal Yin.
Although Li Xiuchang felt that what Tianxiang said made sense, he still felt that it would be safer to use some means to force him to question.
Ancestor Tianxiang was familiar with Li Xiuchang's methods, and his beauty suddenly turned pale.
But at this moment, Chen Changsheng suddenly trembled.
"Old Chen, what's wrong with you?"
Everyone looked at him with concern, but saw that Chen Changsheng's face was solemn and his face looked a little ugly.
What happened again?
Li Xiuchang had some bad omens in his heart. He didn't know if it was a coincidence, but he felt like everything came together and suddenly broke out.
Chen Changsheng took a deep breath and said, "The pelican was captured by them."
"Them?" Zhang Wanzhi was stunned for a moment, then understood, "You mean those guys who live in seclusion at sea?"
Chen Changsheng nodded: "The pelican has been looking for their traces on the sea, and my clone is responsible for protecting it secretly, but just now, the pelican saw a big fish at the bottom of the water, and couldn't help opening its mouth to swallow the fish, and dived into the water, and then disappeared, and didn't come up for a long time.
"I felt something was wrong, so I dived into the water, and my spiritual sense covered a radius of 100 miles, but I couldn't find its trace, but I found a place on the seabed that seemed to be a natural formation, and I was sure that the pelican had entered the formation.
"But just as I was about to try to enter the formation, I was spotted. Someone attacked me and wanted to capture me, and they were powerful. There were more than one person who surrounded me. I had limited means as a clone, and there was no hope of escape.
"In order to prevent the clone from falling into their hands, I forcibly dispersed the clone. "
Zhang Wanzhi asked: "Are you sure it was that group of people?"
"There are groups of human cultivators in the deep sea, and they are powerful. Are there others besides them hiding at the bottom of the sea? "Chen Changsheng asked back.
After listening to Chen Changsheng's account of the whole process, Li Xiuchang was worried about the pelican.
Natural formations are extremely hidden and rare, and are naturally generated by heaven and earth.
This type of formation does not require a high level, and is naturally hidden, and is generally difficult to be discovered.
Not to mention that it is a natural formation hidden under the sea.
It can be said that if the pelican had not disappeared, Chen Changsheng would probably not have discovered the natural formation.
This natural formation is more difficult to be discovered than the one in the center of the previous thunderstorm. The island is much more hidden!
But even so, the pelican still ran into it.
The three places chosen by the mysterious people were more hidden than the last, but they were all accidentally run into by the pelican. It seems that the pelican is really destined to be with them!
Once, twice, and three times.
The first two times, the mysterious people chose to let the pelican go, but this third time...
Li Xiuchang put himself in their shoes and did not dare to guarantee that he could let the pelican go.
This bird is obviously their nemesis. It can be run into wherever it hides!
"What should we do now? That stupid bird has a bit of a mean mouth, but after all, it is helping us. We can't just watch it die." Zhang Wan knew.
"Save it, of course we have to save it, and we still have a lot of questions. We want to have a good chat with that group of people." Motu's eyes flashed.
Chen Changsheng signaled everyone to calm down first, and said: "They are very powerful. If we want to be more stable, we need to go with a few more people."
Lu Yang sighed: "Why are they all rushing to do things at the same time? We are really short of manpower. "
The Ascendants attacked the Xianchen Sect, and they wanted to send Tianxiang away.
The Xianyin expanded abnormally, and they wanted to investigate the matter.
The Pelican was captured, and the whereabouts of the mysterious people were discovered. They wanted to rescue the Pelican and negotiate with the mysterious people.
Three things were going on at the same time, and they didn't have many people, and Laogui hadn't come out of seclusion yet.
Then they had to distribute the tasks properly.
