Chapter 1255: Invisible Hand

"Not bad, Daoist friend Chi Meng and I saw the people from the Reincarnation Hall sneaking into the depths of the Nine Yuan Temple earlier. Considering the friendship between our two factions, we were afraid they would do something unfavorable to the Nine Yuan Temple, so we followed them all the way here." Huo Yuan also said solemnly.

Pure Jun Zhenren snorted coldly, not believing a word of what they said, but did not press them further.

Chi Meng and Huo Yuan both had extremely deep backgrounds. Not to mention Chi Meng, who already held a pivotal position in the Heavenly Court, she also had Dao Ancestor Chi Rong, known for being protective, behind her. Even if she had done something, let alone hadn't, Pure Jun Zhenren wouldn't dare do anything to her, at most give her a few scoldings.

Huo Yuan was the current Mountain Master of Hundred Refinements Mountain. The power of Hundred Refinements Mountain spread throughout the major immortal domains of the True Immortal Realm. Although there was no Dao Ancestor sitting behind them, their relationship with the Heavenly Court was extremely close. Over the countless years, any force that dared to attack Hundred Refinements Mountain had met a tragic end. Many people regarded Hundred Refinements Mountain as an appendage of the Heavenly Court.

The Nine Yuan Temple was currently in a delicate situation. As the leader of the temple, Pure Jun Zhenren had to consider the overall situation and naturally had no intention of provoking a conflict between the Nine Yuan Temple and Hundred Refinements Mountain. Moreover, if he pushed them too hard, it would be disastrous if they joined forces with the Reincarnation Hall.

"Very well, since the two of you have nothing to do with the Reincarnation Hall, please wait quietly to the side for a moment. After we deal with these Reincarnation Hall thieves, we will let you both leave," Pure Jun Zhenren said.

Chi Meng and Huo Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, nodding and retreating to a corner of the hall.

Although they each had their own backgrounds, they were currently within the Nine Yuan Temple after all, and distant water couldn't quench immediate thirst. If Pure Jun Zhenren really attacked them, they could only submit.

"Mountain Master Huo Yuan, is that five-colored small bottle the one refined by the previous Mountain Master of Hundred Refinements Mountain, Immortal Venerable Hundred Refinements?" Chi Meng asked through a subtle lip movement.

The two stood side by side, no longer showing any hostility.

"That small bottle does indeed have the aura of my Hundred Refinements Mountain's refining techniques. It should be the one refined by Mountain Master Hundred Refinements. However, Mountain Master Hundred Refinements only refined an embryo back then. It seems that the Nine Yuan Temple has carried out a secondary refinement, and it is vastly different from the original appearance. I almost didn't recognize it," Huo Yuan replied, his eyes flashing.

"This treasure looks indeed extraordinary... In Mountain Master Huo's opinion, what exactly does the Nine Yuan Temple want to do with such a treasure?" Chi Meng's mind raced, and she asked again.

"Heaven knows what Pure Jun, that old fox, is selling in his gourd. Only by taking this thing over and studying it can we know what the Nine Yuan Temple is up to," Huo Yuan said after a moment of contemplation.

Hearing this, Chi Meng turned her head to look at the people from the Reincarnation Hall, her beautiful eyes flashing, not knowing what she was considering.

Han Li, seeing Pure Jun Zhenren dismiss Chi Meng and Huo Yuan with just a few words, secretly praised his prowess.

He frowned slightly and quickly thought of countermeasures.

If he were to use the Palm Heaven Bottle to travel through time and space now, although he would definitely be able to escape this place, Nangong Wan seemed to have completely forgotten him now, and seemed to be quite hostile to him. Most likely, she would not be willing to leave with him.

With Wu Yang, Jiao San, and others present, they would obviously not allow him to forcibly take Nangong Wan away.

Han Li's thoughts raced, and his eyebrows suddenly twitched as he looked at Wu Yang.

Although Wu Yang's expression was stern at the moment, his lips were moving almost imperceptibly.

The ears of Jiao San, Lu Chuanfeng, and others next to him were also twitching slightly, as if they were secretly talking about something.

Shi Kongmo also looked at them, his eyes focused, obviously participating in it.

Seeing this situation, Han Li couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

He was also a member of the Reincarnation Hall, yet Jiao San, Wu Yang, and others were discussing matters, calling on Shi Kongmo, an outsider, without calling on him. Obviously, they didn't regard him as one of their own.

Even so, he could do nothing about it. After all, he had never truly regarded himself as a member of the Reincarnation Hall. The cooperation between the two sides was more based on some kind of contract.

However, he increasingly felt that ever since he joined the Candle Dragon Dao and became involved with this organization, there had been an invisible hand pushing something in the dark, making him feel that he could not completely sever ties with it.

Especially after he saw Nangong Wan appear in front of him, this feeling became even stronger.

It seemed that after this matter was over, he had to investigate it thoroughly.

He was not a person who liked to be controlled. His own destiny must be completely in his own hands.

Pure Jun Zhenren, seeing Chi Meng and the others retreat to the side, snorted coldly in his heart and turned to look at Wu Yang and the others with a normal expression, about to say something.

However, before he could speak, the people from the Reincarnation Hall suddenly erupted.

Shi Kongmo and Lu Chuanfeng turned into two beams of light, one black and one blue, and pounced towards the three of them.

Shi Kongmo made a hand seal and moved his ten fingers in succession.

Dozens of black sword shadows flew out from his fingertips, slashing towards the three of Pure Jun Zhenren.

Each sword shadow was flashing with a black demonic eye, inside which flashed bursts of black light, looking extremely strange.

Dozens of sword shadows flew out, but not a single sound of sword howling was emitted, as if these black swords were not real.

Lu Chuanfeng next to him spat out a ball of blue light, and his hands moved like wheels.

One after another, multicolored magic seals flew out from between his hands and struck the spiritual light in front of him.

The blue spiritual light instantly exploded, turning into countless slender blue ice needles that were a foot long.

"Go!" Lu Chuanfeng made a hand seal and shouted loudly.

The sky full of blue ice needles, like strong bows and hard crossbows, burst out together, emitting an ear-piercing whistling sound, striking towards the three of Pure Jun Zhenren like rain, with a terrifying momentum.

"Hmph, a cornered beast's struggle!"

Pure Jun Zhenren, seeing the two's fierce offensive, was not flustered at all, but sneered, rubbing his hands together and raising them to the left and right.

Two golden lights flew out from his hands and struck the walls on the left and right sides of the hall respectively.

Yang Junzi and Lei Jun Zhenren also immediately activated the tokens in their hands, and beams of golden light also shot out from inside, merging into the golden light on the surrounding walls.

The golden light in the hall immediately fluctuated violently, and strands of golden rays of light flew out from inside, instantly blocking in front of the three of them, and swept towards Shi Kongmo and Lu Chuanfeng like waves.

The sky full of ice needles emitted by Lu Chuanfeng struck those golden rays of light, immediately disappearing without a trace, like a clay ox entering the sea.

Shi Kongmo's black sword shadows were tangible and immaterial, breaking through several layers of golden rays of light in succession, but the sword shadows also quickly became dim.

"Huh, what a powerful spirit-devouring restriction, it can actually devour the power of the law within the Heart Demon Curse Sword," Shi Kongmo said in surprise, seeing this scene.

While speaking, he changed the hand seal in his hand.

Those black sword shadows also changed with it, turning into substantial black thin threads, piercing through layers of golden rays of light, and continuing to shoot towards Pure Jun Zhenren.

Perhaps because of the smaller volume, although the black thin threads were still dimming when they pierced through the golden rays of light, the speed of dimming was much slower. In the blink of an eye, they approached Pure Jun Zhenren and the others.

Pure Jun Zhenren and the others hurriedly flashed back, urging the golden rays of light around them to meet the enemy.

At this moment, Lu Chuanfeng waved his hands continuously, and blue light flashed around him, overflowing with cold air.

With the sound of "crack" "crack", blue ice crystals the size of houses flew out from his hands, emitting terrifying screams, and smashed towards the surrounding approaching golden rays of light like meteorites.

It seemed that the golden rays of light were much slower when devouring the spiritual power in physical objects, and were immediately beaten with holes by these blue ice crystals, unable to approach Shi Kongmo and Lu Chuanfeng for a while.

Jiao San, Wu Yang, and the black-clothed girl pounced towards a wall in the hall the moment Shi Kongmo and the others flew out.

"Daoist friend Han, I have a way to break through this place, please help me," almost at the same time, Jiao San's voice sounded in Han Li's ears.

Han Li's eyes flashed, following closely behind Jiao San and the others, landing in front of the wall of the hall.

Yang Junzi, seeing this scene in the distance, changed his expression, making a hand seal and pointing at the wall where Han Li and the others were.

The golden light on the wall suddenly brightened, and accompanied by a hissing sound, countless golden rays of light sprayed out from it. Under the condensation of each other, they turned into countless huge golden tentacles, sweeping towards the people.

"The three of us will block these tentacles and buy time for Jiao San!" Wu Yang shouted loudly, and flew out first, grabbing with one hand in the void.

A sharp whistling sound of "铮"!

A golden sword appeared in his palm, one side of the sword was engraved with patterns of mountains, rivers, grass, and trees, and the other side was the stars of the sky. The whole body was radiant with golden light, and the auspicious air was steaming, which looked extremely extraordinary.

Wu Yang waved the golden sword in his hand and slashed in the air.

A hundred-zhang-long, bright, golden sword qi flew out and slashed on a dozen tentacles.

With a sound of "嗤啦", most of the dozen tentacles were cut off, but the sword qi also shrank a lot, and the luster became very dim.

The few tentacles that were not cut off rolled flexibly, wrapped around the sword qi like spirit snakes.

The golden sword qi was also extremely agile, rushing left and right like a living creature, like a big fish entering a net.

But those tentacles were very tough and were not cut off, and were also frantically devouring the spiritual power contained in the sword qi.

The golden sword qi quickly shrank, the amplitude of the struggle became weaker and weaker, and finally completely merged into the golden tentacles.

"These tentacles can devour spiritual power and the power of the law, be careful," Wu Yang shouted a reminder, seeing this scene, and at the same time swung his sword again, slashing at other tentacles.

The black-clothed girl and Wu Yang shot at the same time. The dark red ancient mirror had been destroyed, and the woman took out two snake-shaped long knives with a flip of her hand.

The girl's arms blurred, and she slashed out repeatedly.

One after another, crescent-shaped dark red blade lights flew out and slashed on the golden tentacles on the other side, cutting off seven or eight tentacles.

But these golden tentacles really absorbed everything. The blade lights containing the laws of reincarnation immediately became dim when they touched the tentacles, and then were swallowed in.

Han Li's eyes saw this scene, and his hands shook suddenly.

The starlight flashed on his arms, and dots of starlight suddenly appeared on them, which were the profound apertures that had been opened.

Han Li's arms swelled a lot, and his ten fingers became much larger and longer, and then his ten fingers flicked out.

In a series of "嗤嗤" piercing sounds, white qi blades also flew out, slashing on the remaining golden tentacles.

Accompanied by a burst of tearing sounds, all the golden tentacles were broken and torn like they had no resistance at all, and were easily swept away.
