The New Generation of Taoist Immortals Roams the World (Third Update!)
Tang Ze said slowly and deliberately: "Recently, there's a Lin Dao person who has been quite active. Someone doesn't seem to like him and wants to deal with him. It seems you can provide some valuable intelligence?"
Liu Yang was stunned: "Lin Daoren?"
Tang Ze smiled slightly: "How do you still not know the other person's surname and name? That person habitually wears a white long gown, dressed as a Taoist with feather clothes and a star crown."
Liu Yang's face suddenly turned gloomy, his complexion was ashen, and his teeth were chattering with a "clicking" sound.
Tang Ze continued, "Someone saw him take in a bastard son of Xuanji Hou as his apprentice. On that day, the remnants of Snow Wind Country kidnapped that bastard son and brought him here. Someone from Xuanji Hou's mansion chased after them, but they were completely defeated."
"Months later, Tao Er, the second steward of the Xuanji Marquis's estate, was beheaded by Lin Dao Ren in the southern mountain range of Da Qin. Tang Ze glanced at Liu Yang: "Among those who entered the Black Cloud Abyss Palace that day, only you were missing, and later found sealed here to block the Blood River of the Underworld."
"I still know you, how could you possibly have the idea of sacrificing yourself to block the blood river? It must be that you were forced or framed..."
Liu Yang interrupted Tang Ze's words: "I was tricked by that little scoundrel and accidentally got trapped here."
"What a despicable person?" Tang Ze heard the contempt in Liu Yang's tone when he called Lin Feng, and his heart skipped a beat: "This guy seems to really know some unknown things."
Thinking of this, Tang Ze smiled and said: "Anyway, I'll take you out first."
Liu Yang slightly furrowed his brow: "Your cultivation of the Blood Demon Technique, although it's a branch of the Blood River True Law, can't possibly allow you to control the true water of the Blood River at will, right?"
Tang Ze nodded at him, smiling and said: "This is where the nine Blood River Banners on your body come in handy. By the way, I should thank you for getting rid of my annoying junior brother. Without him chattering in my ear, the world has become much quieter."
Liu Yang hummed and didn't respond, watching as Tang Ze finished his spell and collected the nine Blood River Banners.
"Rise!" Tang Ze's fingers pointed in succession, and nine dark red blood beads flew out from his fingertips, each merging into the nine Blood River Banners.
The nine scarlet banners suddenly changed, fluttering in the wind, forming a formation, and actually stabilized the surging Blood River True Water.
"I didn't cultivate the orthodox Blood River True Law, but this is just a small branch of the Netherworld Blood River after all." Tang Ze shook his head regretfully: "What a pity, in order to replace you and stabilize the Netherworld Blood River, these nine blood river banners can't be taken away."
Liu Yang looked at him sideways: "Can you also control whether the Blood River will go wild and burst out of the ground?"
Tang Ze shrugged: "I can ignore other places, but this place is too close to the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom. I'll save you, but just a small fight."
"But if I really let the blood river burst out of the ground, either of those two in Tianjing City can kill me with just one finger. To be exact, there are many people who can kill me without them taking action."
Liu Yang let out a long whistle, his sword merged with his body, transforming into a beam of sword light, bursting out of the dark and bloody river.
After being suppressed in the Blood River for over a year, Liu Yang's entire person was no longer good, his breath was extremely anxious, and what made him even more depressed was that his own sword had been stained with polluted blood to defend against the invasion of the true water of the Blood River, and he didn't know how much effort it would take to clean it thoroughly.
Tang Ze smiled and said: "Once you've been tainted by the true waters of the Blood River, even if you return to Shu Mountain, it will be difficult to wash clean."
Liu Yang suddenly turned his head and stared at him fiercely.
Tang Ze shrugged indifferently, a playful smile spreading across his face: "Since I was entrusted to bring you out, I had expected that after being suppressed by the Blood River for a year, you would be in quite a sorry state."
"The thing for washing away polluted blood is ready, come with me."
Liu Yang's eyes lit up: "The only thing that can thoroughly cleanse the pollution of the Blood River True Water is one of the Six Great True Waters, known as the Mother of All Waters, the Tianyi True Water that can harmonize with all things. You actually have something like this?"
"I don't have it, but the person who asked me to find you does. Just follow me."
Liu Yang narrowed his eyes and didn't say a word, following closely behind Tang Ze without any hesitation.
The two flew thousands of miles west together, landing in a secluded small valley, Tang Ze leading the way and Liu Yang following closely behind, both walking into the valley.
"You seem to look down on Lin Daoren?" Tang Ze looked at Liu Yang with a seemingly unintentional glance: "Besides you, there is already one Golden Dan stage elder from Lie Huo Jian Zong, one Golden Dan stage guardian from the Yu family, Tao Er, the second in command of Xuan Ji Hou Fu, and Hui Kong, a disciple of Da Lei Yin Si. Four Golden Dan stage cultivators have lost to him."
"Taoyi and Yu Jia's ancestral hall was even more miserable."
Liu Yang was taken aback and said decisively: "Impossible! A little kid who has only cultivated to the 10th layer of Qi, how could he possibly defeat so many Golden Dan cultivators?"
Tang Ze's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Ten layers of Qi cultivation? Are you certain?"
"Of course!" Liu Yang replied without hesitation: "If I hadn't fallen into his trap and been trapped in the Underworld Blood River, I wouldn't even need to lift a finger. Just one breath would be enough to extinguish him."
He slanted his eyes at Tang Ze: "Those people, also fell into his trap?"
Tang Ze shook his head: "No, all of them were killed in a fair fight under the eyes of everyone." After a pause, he added: "Among them, Tao Er and Yu Jia's Sheng Feng, as well as Da Lei Yin Si's disciple Hui Kong, three of them fought against him one by one. As a result, two were beaten to death on the spot, and one was captured alive.
Liu Yang stared blankly and repeatedly said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
After listening to Tang Ze's account of the events, Liu Yang visibly breathed a sigh of relief and said decisively: "It was that puppet. Obviously, that puppet possessed extremely strong power. It was somehow refined by that little scoundrel's luck, and it was able to defeat three Golden Dan stage cultivators."
"With that puppet gone, he's nothing. Liu Yang said in a low voice: "I'm sure that kid was only at the Qi Refining stage of level 10 in the underground palace just a year ago. Even if he made rapid progress within this year, he would be barely building his foundation, and couldn't even establish his spiritual platform."
Tang Ze nodded slightly, and Liu Yang's judgment about Lin Feng's Dao realm advancement speed was something he agreed with.
In just one year, he has gone from Qi Refining 10th layer to Building Foundation early stage, which is already the standard of an extraordinary genius.
Of course, on the premise that Lin Feng's true cultivation is indeed only at the 10th layer of Qi Refining as Liu Yang said a year ago.
Liu Yang nodded heavily: "It won't be wrong, he indeed has some kind of secret method to block the outside world's judgment of his magical powers, but as soon as he really makes a move, his true nature will be immediately revealed."
At this time, a clear voice suddenly came from inside the valley.
"If it's like that, then things will be much easier."
Liu Yang and Tang Zejin entered the valley, where a young man in white stood among the mountains, smiling at them.
"Chen Gang, it's you." Liu Yang suddenly realized: "What, are you also displeased with that little guy?"
Tai Xuan's disciple, Chen Gang, smiled slightly: "A clown who likes to jump around, but he happened to disrupt some of the arrangements in Master Pang's overall plan, so I was ordered by Master Pang to eliminate him."
Chen Gang looked at Liu Yang: "I was already suspicious of this person's true cultivation, and now that you've said it, I have a complete plan in my heart."
"That puppet of his, I have a way to deal with it." Chen Gang said slowly: "However, some time ago he suddenly revealed an array diagram in the ancient domain's great swamp, and used an unprecedented spell formation to annihilate the 3,000-strong divine army led by Golden Elixir stage cultivators, directly shattering their Divine Army Exterminating Array."
Liu Yang and Tang Ze exchanged a glance, both of them startled.
Three thousand cultivators formed an army, and there was also the Golden Elixir stage cultivator leading the Divine Martial Exterminating Immortal Formation. Even if three people were tied together, they wouldn't be a match for them.
"Liu Yang exclaimed in disbelief: 'How is this possible?'"
"What has happened is that nothing is impossible. My men witnessed the whole process." Chen Gang said, "But the problem is that this time, Lin Dao still didn't take action himself."
"So I'm guessing, the key lies in that formation diagram. This person's strength may not be high, but they actually have some good things on hand." Chen Gang said while pinching a spell seal with his fingers: "If it were just that puppet, I wouldn't take it to heart, but that formation, I must seek help from Master Pang."
Chen Gang waved his hand, and the creek water beside him suddenly flew up to form a ring, floating in mid-air, about one person high.
The ring's center light and shadow changed, gradually becoming a white piece, wave-like fluctuations stopped, after a long time restored calm, revealing the image of a young man.
The young man's face was clean and handsome, wearing a crisp white robe, with an aura of lightness and serenity, without any sharp edges. He seemed like a gentle breeze or a clear spring, with only his eyes shining brightly like stars in the night sky, as if his gaze could penetrate into one's soul.
Chen Gang bowed and said: "Chen Gang has seen Elder Brother Pang."
Liu Yang and Tang Ze both had a sudden chill in their hearts: "This person is actually the current Taixu Temple's Heavenly Walker, Pang Jie?"
"Before Tai Xuan's three generations, the Heavenly Walkers were all female. At that time, the many masters and brothers in Shu Mountain still joked that Tai Xuan was yin dominant and yang weak." Liu Yang thought to himself: "This time, has a male Heavenly Walker finally appeared?"
"Heaven, Earth and Man are the three talents of numbers, yin and yang circulate, meet three to change, conform to the heavenly way of utmost reason, what's strange about that?"
Liu Yang was secretly laughing in his heart when a calm and flat voice suddenly echoed from the bottom of his heart.
That voice came directly from Liu Yang's heart, as if he was talking to himself.
Liu Yang's face suddenly changed, and he looked up at the light and shadow, a calm and serene-looking Pang Jie. He was shocked in his heart: "This person actually has such a magical cultivation? Not only can he know what I'm thinking, but also has the divine ability of telepathy?"
"Doesn't that mean that if he wants to, he can wipe out my soul at any time and occupy my body?"
