Soul Search! Turn the tide and clean up the mess!
Chapter 492 Soul Search! Turn the tide and clean up the mess!
Seeing Jiang Shu suddenly appear here and use an extremely domineering attitude to disperse the strong murderous aura around the Blood-robed Taoist of the Demon Sect, and then forcefully drag him back through the air, the three surviving true disciples and elders of the Cangjian Sect were completely stunned where they stood.
Although this blood-robed Taoist master only controls an ordinary blood refining path, he is still in the true early stage of the All-Things Realm. Looking at the eight major sects, he is an existence of transcendent status. For them, the true disciples and elders who are still at the peak of the Nirvana Realm and have not yet broken through, he is like an absolutely insurmountable towering peak.
But at this moment, this high and mighty Taoist master was like a dead dog, being held at will by Jiang Shu, with almost no power to fight back.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, the people from Cangjian Sect would never have believed that Jiang Shu, who was still in the Yuandan realm before the war began, could possess such enchanting strength in such a short period of time.
Swallowing his saliva secretly, a white-haired elder of the Cangjian Sect turned to look at Lu Chong who was still behind Jiang Shu, and he couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.
They all knew that Lu Chong was promoted to the All-Seeing Realm because he comprehended the three great ways.
But such a strong man all fell behind Jiang Shu.
Obviously, Jiang Shu’s strength will only get stronger after he is promoted to the Wanxiang Realm!
There was silence all around. Although no one asked a question, everyone already had the answer in their hearts. When they looked at Jiang Shu again, their eyes suddenly changed in complexity.
As their eyes met, their thoughts transmitted:
"The Zhenwu Sect is indeed very powerful. We originally thought that our eight major sects would definitely be defeated in this ruins. But now it seems that we may still have a chance to turn the tide. Taixuan Daojun may be the Zhenwu Sect's plan! No wonder he was allowed to enter the ruins so early."
"The reputation of Zhenwu Sect's first true disciple is indeed well-deserved. I used to think that Lu Chong fell behind and that Zhenwu Sect was deliberately elevating Jiang Taixuan. Now it seems that we have underestimated Jiang Taixuan's talent. It has only been a short time since he entered the ruins, and he has not only been promoted to the Myriad Realm, but his strength is also terrifying and astonishing. The old ghost in the blood robe is also in the early stage of the Myriad Realm, and he can't even make a wave in his hands."
"If he uses his full strength, he might be even stronger than the Heaven-clearing Taoist Zong Yue. But I don't know who is stronger than the Demon Sect's Qiu Taoguang."
Several people's eyes fell on Jiang Shu's back hanging in the void in front of them. Each of them calculated the strength comparison and vaguely came to a conclusion in their hearts.
If it were Zong Yue who came today, although he would be able to defeat the Blood Robe Taoist, his moves would definitely not be as casual as Jiang Shu.
In comparison, the strength displayed by Jiang Shu is naturally more powerful.
In particular, when they unconsciously thought of Qiu Taoguang, their dull faces suddenly became bright again.
If Jiang Shu, the Taixuan Taoist, could fight against Qiu Taoguang, he would not need to defeat him. As long as they could fight to a draw, it would be a great support to the scattered and fleeing teams of the eight major sects.
By then, the eight major sects reversed their decline, and the battle with the Demon Sect and the monster clan once again fell into a stalemate, which undoubtedly brought the two sides back to the same level. It is still unknown who will win and who will lose in the end.
After realizing this, a strong sense of hope suddenly appeared in the eyes of several people who had been desperate, and the haze in their hearts was swept away.
As the people in charge of the eight major sects in the vast Cangmang Realm, they have been frantically hunted down by the demon sect and the monster clan in recent days. They are in a miserable state and are extremely aggrieved.
In the past, given their status and position in their respective sects, they would never have been insulted like this.
Because of this, everyone's hearts were filled with resentment and anger that were difficult to vent, but due to the dangerous situation, they had no choice but to suppress it all in their hearts, waiting anxiously for the opportunity to turn the situation around.
And now, Jiang Shu, the Taixuan Taoist who has reached the realm of all things, is undoubtedly the variable they have been waiting for!
At this moment, Jiang Shu ignored the discussions of several people. He just stared coldly at the blood-robed Taoist who was being pulled back by the vast Yuanli in front of him, with a gleam of light surging in the depths of his eyes.
In the ball of Yuanli light, the blood-robed Taoist gnashed his teeth, his eyes were red with anger, and veins bulged on his forehead. Even though he had mobilized all the Yuanli and Dao power in his body, and even the meridians in his body felt a tingling sensation due to the rapid circulation of the power, he was still unable to escape.
Seeing Jiang Shu's figure approaching, the blood-robed Taoist's panicked eyes suddenly showed a hint of madness.
After successfully advancing into the Wanxiang Realm, he was in high spirits in the ruins of this ancient demon sect. Just now, he killed a true disciple of the Cangjian Sect with a single palm strike right under the latter's nose.
A blood feud has been formed.
Now, if he fell into Jiang Shu's hands, what kind of miserable end he would face, even Blood-Robed Taoist himself didn't dare to imagine it.
"Jiang Taixuan, you are going too far! I will fight you!"
A shrill roar was heard, and the blood-robed Taoist priest showed a ferocious look. He gritted his teeth and raised his hands to press hard on the key points all over his body. The aura around him suddenly became violent.
However, to his surprise, when Jiang Shu noticed his actions, his expression did not change at all. In fact, even his eyes were so indifferent, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.
"Old ghost, how do you compare to that demon Tianhuang?"
The calm voice reached his ears, causing the blood-robed Taoist who was about to burn his original blood and fight to the death to widen his eyes and his face changed drastically!
"You, what do you mean?!"
"Could it be that His Highness Tian Huang really died in your hands?!"
Jiang Shu did not answer his exclamation and question, but simply ignored it. As his mind moved, the avenue circling above his head suddenly burst out with a majestic aura and rushed forward wildly.
The Yuan force of heaven and earth was attracted by this energy and gathered together. A large handprint with an endless and vast aura condensed in an instant, pressing down in the air and slamming down towards the blood-stained robe!
The Five Emperors' Seal of Annihilation!
"Oh!"
A dull bang sounded, and with just this one palm, the boiling energy around the blood-robed Taoist was completely dispersed and collapsed.
The Annihilation Seal slammed heavily on his chest, and the power of the Great Dao contained in it was completely poured out. The Yuan power flowing on the surface of the Blood-Robed Taoist Master's body failed to play any defensive role and was easily broken through!
That tremendous force slammed into his body, and countless crisp sounds like popping beans were heard all over the blood-red robe. Thick blood overflowed from his pores. His body was impacted by the huge force and it was difficult for him to maintain his balance. He fell from the air and smashed heavily into the mountain below!
boom!
A huge deep pit was smashed into the top of the steep peak, and smoke and dust immediately rolled up. The collapsed figure of the Blood-Robed Taoist was hidden in it, and his breath was almost inaudible. If it weren't for the miserable sound of vomiting blood in the smoke and dust, everyone present would have thought that he had been crushed and killed by Jiang Shu's magical power.
Of course, this was indeed the result of Jiang Shu deliberately holding back.
Otherwise, the fate of this Blood Robe Taoist would have been the same as that of the Black Soul Taoist. Under the Annihilation Seal, his life would have been cut off and he would have died on the spot.
After suppressing this person temporarily, Jiang Shu was not in a hurry to catch him. Instead, he turned his eyes and glanced indifferently at the several Demon Sect's Nirvana Realm disciples who were completely dumbfounded in the distance.
From the time he showed up to the time he casually injured the Blood Robe Taoist, only a few dozen breaths had passed. The Demon Sect's true disciples had just reacted at this time and wanted to turn around and flee, but they were instantly covered by the murderous soul fluctuations of the former.
Endless chills spread across their backs, and several people stiffened, their pupils suddenly constricted, and their shock was beyond words. Especially when they noticed the indifference in Jiang Shu's eyes, the true disciples of the Demon Sect were even more confused and horrified!
"Where is Qiu Taoguang now?"
Staring at the few people coldly, Jiang Shu asked the most crucial question without any nonsense.
I learned from Lu Chong earlier that Qiu Taoguang's strength has skyrocketed and he has almost become the most powerful Taoist master of the All-Seeing Realm in the ruins of this ancient demon sect.
Since that was the case, Jiang Shu would naturally not allow him to continue to be so arrogant.
The previous two attempts to kill Qiu Taoguang failed. Now, it is time to put an end to it.
Hearing the question, several Demon Sect disciples were shocked and their eyes flickered violently, but no one answered for a while.
"Why, you don't know, or you don't want to say?"
Seeing this, Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and with a flick of his finger, a bright lightning flash instantly appeared and shot out.
laugh!
The terrifying power of thunder and lightning erupted, and a true disciple of the Demon Sect was unable to even scream under such destructive force. He was directly blasted into a piece of charcoal, shattered and disintegrated by the wind.
Jiang Shu had no psychological burden at all when dealing with these cruel and vicious people from the Demon Sect. He simply killed them to warn the rest!
As expected, seeing him kill his fellow disciples without a word, the surviving disciples of the Demon Sect had their eyes frozen with fear, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably like sieves.
When Jiang Shu looked at them again, one of them looked pale and hurriedly shouted:
"I, I said!"
"Qiu...Qiu Daojun had previously led people to hunt down Daoyi Sect's Zong Yue, but we really don't know where he is now!"
His words were short and hurried, as if he was afraid that if he spoke even a little slower, he would displease Jiang Shu, the master, and kill him right there.
"Chasing Zong Yue?"
Upon hearing this, before Jiang Shu could react, Lu Chong and others frowned, with worry showing on their faces.
With Zong Yue's current strength, he is no match for Qiu Taoguang. If he is caught up by the latter, he will be crippled if not killed.
Although the eight major sects usually have a lot of friction and competition with each other, when facing powerful enemies from outside the domain, they have always been united and share the same fate. Lu Chong certainly does not want to see Zong Yue die at the hands of Qiu Taoguang.
What's more, he had thought even more deeply. This time, when they went deep into the Demon Sect's ruins, except for a few people from their Zhenwu Sect who were seriously injured, the true elders of the other seven sects suffered losses, or even most of them were killed.
Although he has a clear conscience, when he returns in the future, the Taoist masters of other sects will discover this strange comparison and will surely become suspicious, which may make it difficult for the Zhenwu Sect to defend itself.
In this case, Zong Yue, the nominal leader of the eight major sects, and the most important true disciple in the team must be kept alive. By then, if the situation predicted by Lu Chong really occurs, Zong Yue can come forward to testify and dispel the doubts of other sects.
Thinking of this, Lu Chong immediately turned his head and cast a meaningful look at Jiang Shu.
Noticing his eye signal, Jiang Shu's mind turned, and he immediately thought of the same thing, and then nodded slightly.
Then, he lowered his brows and looked toward the top of the mountain below where smoke and dust were rising.
The robe sleeves waved, a strong wind swept in, the thick smoke and dust were blown away, and the scene inside reappeared in everyone's sight.
The blood-robed Taoist priest collapsed in the middle of the deep pit with his head raised. His clothes were torn and his exposed skin was covered with hideous wounds of varying depths. Scalding blood kept gushing out of them, almost turning him into a bloody man, immersed in a thick pool of blood.
The originally majestic aura of the Wanxiang Realm was now barely audible. If it weren't for his chest still rising and falling slowly, one would almost think that he had completely fallen and died.
"Fortunately, I left him some time to breathe."
Muttering softly, Jiang Shu's figure floated down like a fallen leaf, landed on the top of the mountain, and walked to the front of the deep pit.
He asked the Blood-robed Taoist Master the same questions he had just asked those disciples of the Demon Sect.
"Whoosh..."
The Blood Robe Taoist was panting heavily, and he was extremely tough in front of Jiang Shu. Not only did he not answer, but a crazy smile slowly appeared on his bloodstained cheeks, and he said sternly:
“Ahem, Jiang, Jiang Taixuan, don’t think that just because you have entered the Myriad Realm, you can lead the eight major sects to turn the tables. As soon as I, Daojun Qiu, arrive, I will make sure that all of you die without a burial place. Avenge me, revenge for me!”
Seeing his stubborn attitude, Jiang Shu couldn't help but sigh slightly, shook his head, then slowly squatted down, a deep look appeared in the depths of his eyes, and his right hand stretched out from his sleeve and covered the forehead of the blood-robed Taoist.
The power of the soul suddenly activated.
Soul search!
The extremely domineering mental force instantly tore through the sea of consciousness and invaded it. The blood-robed Taoist's eyes suddenly bulged out, almost popping out of their sockets, and his body began to tremble wildly and unconsciously.
The severe pain in his soul was unbearable even for a Taoist master in the All-Things Realm. Jiang Shu originally planned to give him a quick death, but unfortunately, he himself did not seem to cherish such an opportunity.
After a few breaths, the Blood-Robed Taoist's legs, which had been kicking violently, stopped moving. His whole body went limp, his pupils dilated and turned white, and his breath completely stopped.
Jiang Shu pulled his hand back, his eyes flashing with brilliance. He stood up, looked at Lu Chong not far away, and said in a deep voice:
"Qiu Taoguang contacted this person half a day ago and said that he had found Zong Yue's hiding place in the southeast of the Demon Sect ruins."
"The communication jade talisman also vaguely mentioned that there must be a traitor around Zong Yue, who secretly defected to the Demon Sect and leaked his whereabouts."
Hearing this, Lu Chong's heart suddenly skipped a beat and his expression became solemn.
There was actually a traitor among the true disciples and elders of the eight major sects. This was a possibility he had never thought of.
In this case, with the cooperation between inside and outside, Zong Yue’s current situation should be extremely dangerous.
