Martial Arts Immortal

In the secret room.

In the deepest part, there are dense and complex formation patterns engraved.

An old man, sitting cross-legged in the formation, his skin was extremely dark, and he had begun to become a demon.

His body exuded bursts of terrifying aura that made people feel horrified and heart palpitated, and an astonishing evil will was brewing in the old man's body.

"Sorry to trouble you, fellow Taoist."

Xu Chi saluted Lin Zheyu and said solemnly.

The Xu family has reached an extremely dangerous situation. If you are not careful, not only the resources will be divided up by the major forces.

It is even possible that the entire family will suffer irreversible consequences.

Although the ancestor of the Xu family is still sleeping, he has no other choice. The Xu family can no longer wait.

Xu Chi could only forcefully open the secret room and wake up his grandfather.

"Do your best."

"Fellow Taoist, please open the protective formation." Lin Zheyu said lightly.

Xu Chi nodded lightly and took out a formation disk. With a slight thought, more than a dozen cyan silk threads shot out from the formation disk and connected to the complicated formation patterns on the ground.

After a while, the protective formation around the ancestor of the Xu family suddenly opened, leaving only the core formation that used the crystallization of divine power, which was still in operation.

This formation is used to suppress the demonic will in the old man's body and stabilize his own condition.

Under Xu Chi's expectant, anxious and uneasy eyes, Lin Zheyu slowly walked towards the old man.

His speed was very slow. As he advanced, he used his heavenly eyes to observe the movements, formations, and possible hidden dangers around him.

Seeing this, Xu Chi did not urge him, but followed Lin Zheyu silently.

Da da da~~~

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty secret room, and the two of them slowly approached the old man step by step.

Lin Zheyu looked at the secret room with great interest. The eyes in the sea of ​​​​consciousness bloomed with bright golden light, observing the possible formation restrictions and attack methods in the secret room.

"The formations in the Xu family are all very impressive. They don't look like the Nascent Soul family at all!"

Lin Zheyu said with some surprise.

After staying in the Demon Cave for so long and constantly understanding the advanced forbidden formations outside the time and space nodes, Lin Zheyu's formations have made amazing improvements.

And his appreciation of formations is even more advanced.

Looking at it from Lin Zheyu's perspective.

The powerful person who originally arranged the Xu family's formation was extremely skillful and could not be arranged by ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

According to Lin Zheyu's understanding, the Xu family is a family of formations, but there is no strong person who can transform into gods in the family.

The strongest one is just the Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even with a well-arranged formation, weak monks cannot exert the full power of the formation.

Not to mention, setting up formations.

Together with the formation, it is much more difficult for a monk to deploy a formation beyond a certain level than to fight beyond a certain level.

The more sophisticated, clever, and powerful the formation restriction is, the higher the strength requirements for the monks are.

If the strength is not enough, the monk's perception, ability to control spiritual power, soul strength, etc. will not meet the requirements of the formation.

A formation that you don't know where to start will appear rough and imprecise.

And in the Xu family, these exquisite and brilliant formation methods are definitely not something that Yuanying monks can arrange.

"As expected of having a place in the Tianyan Sect Formation and Dao Exchange Meeting, the Xu family still has some skills." Lin Zheyu said secretly.

Da da da~~

The two of them moved forward slowly.

Lin Zheyu checked all the formation restrictions hidden in the secret room.

After confirming that there were no formation restrictions that could threaten him in the secret room, he speeded up and walked to the old man's side.

"Can you wake up senior?"

Lin Zheyu asked.

In order to alleviate the problem of demonic will erosion in the monk's body, Lin Zheyu needs to control the golden energy, invade the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness, and eliminate the demonic will and demonic energy one by one.

Xu Chi's grandfather, although in very bad condition, was also a Nascent Soul cultivator.

A dead camel is bigger than a horse, and the Yuanying monk's sea of ​​consciousness is extremely powerful. Without the cooperation of the other party, Lin Zheyu cannot invade quietly.

After all, immortal cultivators majored in the soul and had attainments in the soul. In front of the immortal cultivators, Lin Zheyu was just a primary school student.

"Fellow Taoist, wait a moment."

Xu Chi took a step forward.

He turned his right hand, and under Lin Zheyu's curious gaze, he took out a golden needle about ten inches long.

Xu Chi took a breath and calmed down.

His eyes moved slightly, he held the golden needle in his right hand, and quickly and accurately pierced the old man's forehead.

Lin Zheyu saw that powerful soul power emerged from the other party's body. Using his own soul as a guide, he used the golden needle magic weapon to enter the old man's body and forcibly awaken the old man.

After a dozen breaths.

The old man's eyelids trembled slightly, and a powerful and evil aura suddenly erupted from his body, turning into a ripple that spread out in all directions.

Bang!

Xu Chi was so shaken by the old man's sudden explosion that he flew backwards and hit the wall of the secret room hard.

He panted and got up from the ground, his face a little pale.

Having just forcibly awakened the old man had taken a huge toll on Xu Chi.

"Grandpa doesn't want it!"

The moment Xu Chi stood up, he quickly shouted.

However, it's already a little late.

The moment the old man woke up, he suddenly let out an ear-splitting roar, his body was covered in demonic flames, and his right arm instantly transformed into a huge palm, and he slapped Lin Zheyu.

Boom!

There was a terrifying roar, and the huge demon palm struck the ground, only leaving a shallow mark on the ground.

"Damn, the worst has happened. Grandpa really lost control!"

Xu Chi's face was very ugly.

The last time he forcibly awakened his grandfather, the ancestor of the Xu family still relied on his strong will and retained some intelligence.

Xu Chi quickly informed the old man of the Xu family's current situation, and then discussed the next response plan.

then.

The old man said that if he was awakened again, he might lose control and go on a killing spree.

Now, it really happened!

Hoho!

The old man looked up to the sky and roared, and when he was about to leave the place, an expressionless figure emerged from the top of the old man's head.

His right hand lightly pressed on the old man's head, and the majestic golden energy surged out and poured into the old man's body.

In an instant, the old man's roar stopped abruptly, his dark pupils gradually faded, and his eyes full of brutal killing regained some clarity.

However, these moments of clarity changed back and forth in the midst of brutal killings and could not be stabilized.

"Don't hesitate, keep going!"

"If you can't wake him up, even I can't do anything." Lin Zheyu said solemnly.

Xu Chi's body was shocked, and he came back to his senses, with a burst of surprise on his face.

He didn't care much, and rushed forward, continued to grab the golden needle that pierced the old man's eyebrow, and started the unfinished operation.

Just now, Xu Chi only awakened the old man's superficial will, but failed to fully awaken it.

With such little intelligence, he couldn't resist the demon's will. In an instant, he lost control and fell into the demon's will.

Following Xu Chi's movements, the brutal killing in the old man's eyes gradually faded away, becoming clearer and more rational.

"Okay, that's enough."

A hoarse voice came, and a soft force gently shook the pale Xu Chi away.

Phew~~

Xu Chi's whole body went limp and he fell to the ground, sweating profusely all over his body.

Seeing that the old man woke up and regained his senses, Lin Zheyu retracted his palm, took a step back, and fought aside.

"The old man Xu Ruichen has met Fellow Daoist Xiao. Thanks to Fellow Daoist for helping me this time, otherwise the old man might not be able to wake up and would be completely immersed in the demon's will."

The old man raised his hand weakly and bowed his hand towards Lin Zheyu in thanks.

After being forcibly awakened by Xu Chi last time, Xu Chi informed him of his plan to invite demon cultivators to help him alleviate the problem of demonic will erosion.

The moment he woke up, Xu Ruichen discovered the identity of the ordinary man in front of him.

He is Xiao Zhe, the magic cultivator hired by his grandson.

"You're welcome."

Lin Zheyu looked calm and asked lightly: "Can we start?"

"Can."

"I know how to do it, don't worry, I will completely open the sea of ​​consciousness to you and let my fellow Taoist do whatever you want."

"However, the demon's will has become a climate, and a demon spirit has condensed in my sea of ​​consciousness. Fellow Taoist, please be careful."

Xu Ruichen said solemnly.

The so-called demon spirit is that after the demon's will erodes his spiritual soul, the eroded part of the soul becomes an existence like an inner demon.

Later, Xu Ruichen used a secret method to forcibly peel off this part of the spiritual soul, thereby solving the corrosive influence of the demon's will.

Unfortunately, he failed.

Even after peeling off this part of his eroded soul, the demon's will was still eroding his other souls.

Not only has his situation not improved, but it has become increasingly difficult.

"Devil?"

"How is the strength?"

Lin Zheyu asked.

That was the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness. If the demon spirit was too strong, he would hesitate to continue the deal.

"Around the early stage of Golden Elixir."

"But because this demon spirit comes from the same source as Lao Chan, Lao Chan can't cause any harm to it."

"But don't worry, fellow Taoist, I will cooperate with you to suppress that demonic spirit."

Xu Ruichen's tone was a little weak, and a strong violent murderous intention suddenly emerged from the depths of his eyes, but he suppressed it forcefully.

After only waking up for a short while, he began to be unable to hold on any longer.

It can be seen how critical Xu Ruichen's current situation is.

"good!"

"It's not that I can't trust the Xu family, but when you use the secret method later, you need to concentrate on it and not be distracted."

"So, fellow Taoist, please leave this secret room. You are not allowed to come in without my notice."

Lin Zheyu looked at Xu Chi aside and said lightly.

"good."

Xu Chi glanced at his grandfather, saw him nodding, and agreed.

He turned around decisively, swaying slightly, and left the secret room.

Lin Zheyu's thoughts moved slightly, and a ray of light energy shot out from his hand and disappeared into the candlelight next to the door.

Immediately afterwards, a rumbling sound was heard, and in Xu Ruichen's surprised eyes, the door to the secret room slowly closed.

"Fellow Taoist's attainments in the formation are quite impressive!"

Xu Ruichen said in surprise.

He knew very well how exquisite the formation of this secret room was. Even if others entered the secret room, they would not be able to find the switch to open or close the secret room.

Not to mention finding a way to close.

And this fellow Daoist Xiao, in the short time he entered the secret room, not only found the location, but also figured out a way to close the secret room.

Such ability is really amazing.

Without waiting for Lin Zheyu to answer.

Xu Ruichen chuckled and shook his head: "That's right. If you are not a person who practices the formation method, how can you be interested in the Tianyan Sect's formation exchange meeting."

The Tianyan Sect Formation and Dao Exchange Meeting is famous in the cultivation world.

But only the Formation Dao monks are flocking to it, while other monks don't have much interest in it.

For monks who don't understand the Formation Dao, there is no point in participating in the Formation Dao exchange meeting.

At most, you can find some good formation magic weapons at the exchange meeting, and that's it.

Compared with the value of the spot in the Formation Exchange Meeting, such a small benefit is not worth spending a lot of money to obtain such a spot.

"Fellow Taoist, can we start now?"

Lin Zheyu did not answer Xu Ruichen's surprise, but said lightly.

He deliberately showed such a hand, with a hint of warning in it, warning Xu Ruichen and the others not to have any evil intentions.

Although Lin Zheyu was not afraid, it was better to do less than to do more.

He is a good man who loves peace and doesn't like killing.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, please..."

Xu Ruichen took a long breath, suppressed the violent murderous intention deep in his eyes again, and said firmly.

"It may feel a little uncomfortable later. If fellow Taoist fellow Taoist can't bear it, it's best to inform Xiao and let's take a rest before continuing."

Lin Zheyu put his right hand on Xu Ruichen's eyebrows and said lightly.

The demon's will has been integrated with the old man's soul. To remove the demon's will is the same as forcibly splitting the soul.

"Haha, I have been here for hundreds of years, and I have never endured any kind of pain. Even if it is the pain of tearing my soul, what can I do?"

"Fellow Taoist, just let go and do whatever you want!"

Xu Ruichen said in a deep voice.

He slowly closed his eyes, relaxed his mind, and completely opened his sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, a terrifying and evil aura emanated from Xu Ruichen's body.

A figure of a demonic spirit, completely black and exuding a terrifying aura, appeared in Lin Zheyu's perception.

Roar!

'die! die! die! ’

Sensing Lin Zheyu's presence, the demon spirit let out a roar, and violent, chaotic and terrifying murderous intent surged toward Lin Zheyu in an instant.

"Evil beast!"

"Go back here, old man!"

A thunderous roar came from Xu Ruichen's sea of ​​consciousness.

The majestic soul power swept in and turned into a dozen thick chains, tightly binding the demon spirit.

At the same time, surging golden energy penetrated the numerous holes corroded by the demonic energy and demon will in the sea of ​​consciousness, and poured into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Under Lin Zheyu's control, golden energy instantly enveloped the demon spirit.

Chi chi chi——

Ho ho ho ho!

In an instant, billowing black smoke steamed out from the golden energy mass, and the demon struggled crazily and let out bursts of shrill roars.

In the center of the sea of ​​consciousness, Xu Ruichen's soul body also trembled and twisted as the demon roared and struggled.

The two are inherently one. Even if they are separated from Xu Ruichen's soul, they still come from the same source and are closely connected.

Time passes slowly.

One day has passed...

Two days have passed...

Three days have passed...

…

As expected of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is much more difficult to remove the demonic will from the body than to remove the demonic will from the bodies of Kong Yujing and others.

It took Lin Zheyu four days to completely eliminate the demonic spirit, leaving only a grayish soul.

The origin of the soul is the foundation of the soul. Even a small amount of it can have a huge impact on the soul.

If the origin of this soul is lost, Xu Ruichen's soul will suffer heavy damage.

In his current state, after suffering severe injuries, he was not far from death.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist. You may need to rest before continuing."

Xu Ruichen said in a message.

His soul endured four days of torture and became extremely weak. However, it recovered a lot after being replenished by the soul source after wiping out the demon spirit.

"No, go ahead."

Lin Zheyu said lightly.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, please come!"

Xu Ruichen fixed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

After the experience of the past few days, he became more and more confident in whether this fellow Daoist Xiao could solve his problem.

‘Where does this person come from? He is by no means at the level of the Golden Core that Xiao Chi mentioned. It is very possible that he has reached the Nascent Soul level! ’

‘And, is he really a demon cultivator? ’

'Not to mention such a mysterious and powerful method, it is very scary to just practice magic and reach the Nascent Soul level, and still be like a normal person. ’

Xu Ruichen was secretly surprised.

The thought flashed away, and soon, he couldn't continue thinking.

The terrifying pain came like a tide, and the shocking pain of soul tearing came again.

…

Outside the secret room.

Xu Chi paced back and forth, looking a little anxious.

Xiao Zhe and his grandfather have been in the secret room for more than ten days, and they haven't come out yet. Could something have happened?

"No, that Xiao Zhe does have some abilities. With his help, the demonic cultivator's will was almost completely eliminated."

Xu Chi shook his head and persuaded himself softly.

However, soon, he felt a little shaken, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

From Xu Chi's point of view, Xiao Zhe was only at the Golden Core realm, and there was no problem in erasing the demonic will from the body of the demonic cultivator who was weaker than him.

And his grandfather was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul!

The gap in strength between the two is really too big.

"Huh, originally the second uncle could still hold on for a while and act as a deterrent to other aristocratic families."

"Now, because of your chaos, if my second uncle dies because of this, can you bear the responsibility?!!!"

A cold snort came, and the middle-aged man slowly walked from a distance.

He had been observing secretly for a long time, specifically waiting for Xu Chi's mind to show a flaw before appearing from the secret.

The man could sense Xu Chi's worry and panic.

"I believe in Fellow Daoist Xiao's ability!"

Xu Chi's lips trembled slightly and he said in a deep voice.

There was no turning back when he fired his bow. Now he could only place his hope on Xiao Zhe.

Moreover, the Xu family has no other choice, either give it a try, or give up everything, run away and start over.

"believe?"

"What do you believe in?"

"Do you know his true origin? How much do you know about him? Are you sure that he has no plans for our Xu family?"

"You actually dare to lock a guy whose origins you don't know in a secret room with your second uncle. Did your brain get caught in the door?"

"You know, there are thousands of secret techniques. What if the other party has some powerful special secret technique that can control the second uncle?"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened, his aura slowly rising, and he asked aggressively.

Each question made Xu Chi, who was already worried and panicked, caught off guard.

In an instant, he began to wonder if his decision was wrong.

"If you don't take out the things yet, open the secret room!"

The middle-aged man scolded.

While scolding, he quietly used the soul secret technique, blended it into his voice, and quietly affected Xu Chi's spiritual will.

From the moment he first appeared, the middle-aged man began to use secret techniques to influence Xu Chi.

…
