Chapter 1710 An Unexpected Event, Entering the Bronze Gate Early!
Pan Huacheng rushed in from outside.
"What happened?" Chen Xuan asked hurriedly.
Pan Huacheng said, "A powerful force has rushed into the Bronze Gate of the Dragon Locking Well!"
"They've truly grown bold!"
"Not only that, but they used some means to blast open the Bronze Gate. Now, countless evil spirits are pouring in from the intersection of yin and yang. We are overwhelmed, and many soldiers have been injured!"
"This has become a bit troublesome!"
Chen Xuan glanced at the disheveled Taoist priest, "Let's go, we need to see the situation quickly!"
Led by Pan Huacheng, Chen Xuan and the disheveled Taoist priest arrived at the Dragon Locking Well.
Inside the massive Dragon Locking Well, evil spirits covered the walls. One by one, they climbed up from the well. The surrounding soldiers were all attacking them with weapons.
Many soldiers were also invaded by evil spirits, becoming neither human nor ghost. Fortunately, there were talismans for dispelling evil. Once a talisman was used, they instantly improved, but they lost their combat effectiveness and were immediately carried away by the medical team.
By the time Chen Xuan arrived, more than a dozen soldiers had fallen!
"This won't do," Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the disheveled Taoist priest, "Disheveled Taoist priest, you are a member of the Taoist sect and possess great compassion. Why don't you display your divine power?"
"I've already retired," the disheveled Taoist priest replied.
"Can't you do something for the common people?" Chen Xuan said.
"Why don't you do something? Maoshan gave you good stuff. Don't think I don't know, if you use that talisman, all the evil spirits in the Dragon Locking Well will be finished!" the disheveled Taoist priest said.
"Sigh! It seems I have no choice but to use it!" Chen Xuan sighed helplessly.
Maoshan had given him a Golden Light Exorcism Talisman. He had originally planned to use it after entering the Bronze Gate, but now there was no other way.
He shook his head and took out the Golden Light Exorcism Talisman.
"Heavenly Dao's golden light, purify the mortal world!" Chen Xuan chanted.
The next moment, the Golden Light Exorcism Talisman suddenly emitted a golden glow.
At first, the golden glow was very weak, but even so, the moment it appeared, the evil spirits seemed to sense something and showed expressions of terror. They began to tremble and then became panicked.
Roar! A series of roars sounded. The evil spirits abandoned their opponents and charged directly at Chen Xuan!
At a critical moment, the Golden Light Exorcism Talisman suddenly blazed, shining brilliantly. Countless beams of golden light shot out in all directions like pillars of light.
The next moment, this world seemed to turn golden. When the golden light faded, all the evil spirits had disappeared.
"Is it solved?" Pan Huacheng asked joyfully.
Seeing the scene before them, everyone cheered.
"Xuantian War Venerable!!"
"Xuantian War Venerable!!"
Amidst the cheers, Chen Xuan's gaze fell on the damaged Bronze Gate below the Dragon Locking Well, "Old Pan, don't celebrate too soon!"
Pan Huacheng turned his head and looked. All the evil spirits in the Dragon Locking Well were dead, but at the location of the Bronze Gate, there were still many evil spirits. Because they feared the lingering power of the Golden Light Exorcism Talisman, those evil spirits dared not step forward easily. But if the evil spirits realized the current situation, they would surely rush into the Dragon Locking Well again.
"Xuantian War Venerable, what should we do?" Pan Huacheng asked urgently.
At this intersection of yin and yang, there were millions of evil spirits, and that was an understatement. Chen Xuan had seen them before; there were countless evil spirits. If they all truly rushed into the mortal world, wouldn't the mortal world be doomed?
Chen Xuan frowned. He had no good solution.
He looked at the disheveled Taoist priest and said, "Disheveled Taoist priest, do you have any good ideas?"
The disheveled Taoist priest stroked his chin and said, "First, re-seal the Bronze Gate! Second, find the person who is manipulating the evil spirits!"
"What do you mean? Are you saying someone is manipulating the evil spirits?" Chen Xuan frowned.
"Indeed!"
"How is that possible? How can one person manipulate so many evil spirits?" Chen Xuan found it hard to believe.
"A person cannot, but perhaps ghosts from the underworld can!" the disheveled Taoist priest said.
Chen Xuan frowned. There was no conflict between the mortal world and the underworld. Why would the underworld do this?
"Mysterious Taoist Master, as expected of a Taoist master, your insights are indeed extraordinary." Long Zhentian walked over.
"Old leader, you think so too?" Chen Xuan asked.
Long Zhentian said, "The ghost experts in the underworld take pride in the number of evil spirits they raise. Some have thousands, while others have tens of thousands. Although there are Xuanmen masters in the mortal world who raise small ghosts, compared to them, it's like comparing heaven and earth."
"Therefore, it is only possible that a ghost expert is behind this."
"Why would the ghost tribe do this?" Chen Xuan was puzzled.
"I don't know either. You need to investigate this yourself. I have a way to seal the Bronze Gate, but before that, you must deal with the ghost expert, otherwise, even if it is sealed, it will be useless." Long Zhentian said to Chen Xuan solemnly, "Therefore, I need you to lead people into the underworld to deal with that guy in the underworld. Others going there is too dangerous."
Only I can go? Why is that? Chen Xuan frowned, but immediately straightened up and saluted, "Yes, sir!"
In the end, it was Chen Xuan, the disheveled Taoist priest, and the pure sound Taoist nun who went together.
Before entering the Bronze Gate, Long Zhentian said, "Qianyuan Taoist Master and others have already entered the Bronze Gate. Go directly to Wuwang Mountain. After you deal with that guy, you can also head directly to Wuwang Mountain."
"Okay, I understand!"
"Be safe on the way!"
Chen Xuan, the disheveled Taoist priest, and the pure sound Taoist nun entered the Bronze Gate.
At the entrance of the Bronze Gate, countless evil spirits were gathered.
"Scram!" Chen Xuan roared, and a righteous qi talisman was unleashed, causing heavy casualties among the surrounding evil spirits.
Although the other evil spirits were angry, they could do nothing about Chen Xuan and could only quietly retreat.
Thus, Chen Xuan, the disheveled Taoist priest, and the pure sound Taoist nun stepped into the intersection of yin and yang.
Long Zhentian stood at the entrance, lost in thought, and murmured, "Chen Xuan, only you can resolve this matter. I hope everything goes smoothly for you!"
After entering the intersection of yin and yang, Chen Xuan and the others arrived at a small island in a large lake. This lake was filled with black water, which was not ordinary water but heavy water. If one fell into the lake, they would sink to the bottom and never be able to climb out, not even evil spirits.
"So many evil spirits," the pure sound Taoist nun exclaimed. On the island in the lake, there were countless evil spirits. If they truly rushed into the mortal world, the mortal world would surely fall into chaos.
"Let's go. Our destination is to find the ghost behind all this!" the disheveled Taoist priest said.
"Mysterious Taoist Master, where will you find the ghost behind all this?" the pure sound Taoist nun asked, puzzled.
The disheveled Taoist priest pointed at Chen Xuan and said, "This is his territory. If we follow him, we will definitely find them."
The pure sound Taoist nun glanced at Chen Xuan and said nothing, as if she also had great trust in Chen Xuan. She leaned closer, "Chen Xuan, can you sense anything?"
