Chapter 487: Chapter 387 Greedy Wuqu Pojun_1

The Boundless Arrow Rain shot by Fumo Vajra eliminated dozens of ghosts in front of the giant tree, before relentlessly bombarding the trunk of the towering tree with an incessant force.

The bolts from the ’Qianjin Crossbow’ were less than two fingers thick and had no arrow heads. However, within a hundred feet, their destructive power could rival a twenty stones crossbow. At this moment, each arrow penetrated deep into the giant tree, creating a large area of holes like a beehive. This caused the giant tree to emit a piercing roar—the sound of countless pieces of wood rubbing against each other.

What was astonishing was that the sap flowing out from these holes was bright red blood.

At this moment, there were dozens of tree vines coiling towards them, but Fumo Vajra ignored them. It was surrounded by electric sparks, relentlessly charging forward and cutting the twenty-feet high towering tree in half with a single stroke.

Afterwards, the fumo sword was seen piercing into the tree trunk, releasing an immense power of Thunder, turning the massive demonic tree into charred bits and igniting a blazing fire.

"This really is a top dangerous place in the world!" Luo Yan came forward, observed carefully, and then chuckled: "A 350-year-old silver fir tree has been twisted into such a ghastly look, turning into such a climate."

Then, however, she looked around with a puzzled expression: "This tree has claimed at least twenty lives, not to mention numerous livestock, but where did all these people it devoured come from in these desolate mountains?"

"They were probably herb collectors."

Yue Qianqian followed Luo Yan in step: "This area produces top-grade ginseng, which grow absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and are impervious to any Yinsha contamination. The ginseng near the Tai Emperor’s mausoleum of Liao has exceptionally good medicinal properties. A ginseng of 20 years from here can equate to a hundred years old ginseng from elsewhere, making it particularly famous."

"Thus, despite knowing that this place is dangerous, every year thousands of people still flock here. They only need to find one hundred-year-old ginseng, and their lifetime will be carefree."

As for Feng Sheng, he was still in shock. Just now, a tree vine had already coiled around his leg. The immense force directly broke his leg on the spot.

He bowed to Li Xuan: "Thank you, Master Li!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly without any expression, appearing very cold. But in fact, most of his attention was on his right arm armor ’Wuqu Pojun’.

This time, his ’Taotie’ was quiet. Instead, ’Wuqu Pojun’ had just released a rampant desire to engulf; it wanted to swallow all the ghosts and the demonic tree.

What comforted Li Xuan was that he had already subdued the Artifact Spirit of ’Taotie’. Otherwise, just now, at the behest of ’Wuqu Pojun’, ’Taotie’ would have devoured the demonic tree along with ten or so ghosts.

’Taotie’ and ’Wuqu Pojun’ were originally one entity, with ’Wuqu Pojun’ being dominant. When the two immortal treasures were masterless, Taotie would be driven by it.

"You cannot devour!"

Lv Qiluo opened her eyes behind Li Xuan: "These ghostly spirits can enhance the power of Wuqu Pojun, but the more you swallow now, the stronger the backlash from the star of disaster will be. Moreover, there will be a formidable accumulation of sinful energy."

"I know."

Li Xuan had already suppressed the desire of ’Wuqu Pojun’, turned around and looked forward: "Let’s rest here for a while."

He also deliberately looked at Feng Sheng: "I know that you are eager to save people, but we also need to be cautious. The dangers here, you know better than me."

Feng Sheng blushed slightly, and in the process, he still led the way, but his steps were much more cautious. At the same time, he also felt slightly assured.

That automated puppet gave him a little confidence. From the formidable sword power of the ’Fumo Vajra’, it was evident that this was an existence with a killing power comparable to the cultivators of the ninth house level.

They travelled through the mountain path and successively passed two valleys. About two hours later, when Li Xuan stepped on top of a mountain, he finally saw a rapid mountain stream running through the canyon ahead.

This place was still several dozen miles away from the mountain stream, and Feng Sheng could not see clearly. Within this dense fog, even if he used the Spirit Eye, he could only see about five miles away.

Upon hearing Li Xuan’s question, he replied with a puzzled look: "Luohu Gully is in this direction, about seventy-two miles from here."

He wondered if Li Xuan’s ’Spirit Eye’ could be that exaggerated to see the Luohu Gully from here?

This person seemed to be practicing both martial arts and techniques, but his techniques should have just broken through The Third Door. His ’Spirit Eye’ ability was actually much better than his.

"That’s Luohu Gully?" Luo Yan’s eyes also flashed purple fire as she looked far ahead. Then her expression was a bit stirred: "I found their location; it is on the mountain range to the west."

Jiang Hanyun’s eyebrows also raised: "I see them!"

At the top of the opposite mountain, about twenty people were stationed among the rocks. As it was vague and elusive, Jiang Hanyun could not see the exact situation.

Li Xuan then directly waved his hand, took out the ’Xuanming Zhiyang Shuttle’ given by Xue Yunrou: "Let’s fly over there.".

Li Xuan had not used this shuttle earlier because it was difficult to distinguish the direction in the fog and he was concerned he might not find the people; he was also afraid that the draining of mana would greatly reduce his combat power.

However, although the straight-line distance from here to the mountain range was less than thirty miles, if they were to walk from the ground, it would be more than fifty or sixty miles.

Feng Sheng couldn’t help but look strange, wondering who exactly these people were. Could their Spirit Eye really see that far? His immediate superior, the eight layers Fumo Xiaowei, could only see up to fifteen miles ahead with his Spirit Eye.

He had never heard of such magical individuals being in their main hall or in the Qinglong Hall.

With a mix of belief and doubt, he got on the flying shuttle, only to feel a sudden push on his back. The Xuanming Zhiyang Shuttle shot forward quickly, covering ten miles in the blink of an eye.

Li Xuan, however, narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment. Despite his Divine Consciousness being locked on the mountain range ahead, he felt as if the shuttle he was controlling was getting farther and farther away from the mountain.

There was a powerful force here, twisting his understanding of time and space, causing him to have countless illusions.

"It’s because of the twisted ley lines,"

Yue Qianqian explained, "This place is not just the mausoleum of the Great Ancestor of Liao. It is a sacred place for the Khitan people, hence all the emperors of the Great Liao are buried here. Tai Grand Emperor of Liao’s tomb is in the center. To the north lies Liaoqing Mausoleum, which entombs the Sheng Emperor, Xing Emperor, and Taoism Emperor of Liao.

It’s said that the area forms the shape of a sleeping dragon. It appears as if the dragon’s head is slightly raised, its eyes wide open, whiskers fluttering, and its spine undulating, as if it could take to the skies at any moment.

To the south is Liaohuai Mausoleum, which contains the tombs of the Tai Emperor and the Mu Emperor of Liao, and forms the shape of a crouching tiger, looking like a ferocious tiger preparing to pounce. These three form the Heaven, Earth and Human Trigram. Therefore, various strange phenomena occur in the 500 square miles around it, and birds are not allowed to fly."

Luckily, the distance was only thirty miles. Li Xuan still successfully landed on the opposite mountain range with the Xuanming Zhiyang Shuttle.

Once he landed, Li Xuan frowned slightly, looking at the foot of the mountain. He saw a dense black mist that concealed countless filthy and dirty things, eying the mountain peak covetously.

Later, when he looked around the piles of rocks, he found that apart from the ones he had previously seen, thirty more people were hidden behind the rocks. However, most of them were unconscious, either severely injured or poisoned by Yinsha (evil energy).

On the surface of these big rocks, Buddhist scriptures were written with cinnabar. These scriptures crisscrossed to form an array that covered a range of one mile on the top of the mountain.

Buddhism does not call this an array but a ’barrier’.

Li Xuan recognized this as a common Buddhist array — ’Shen Hui Lengyan Realm’.

The Surangama Sutra is an extremely important Buddhist scripture that contains all practices of Buddhism and a demonic suppression manual, recording all kinds of demons in the world and their counteracting methods. The ’Surangama Mantra’ within it is considered to be the most effective one against demons, and the array derived from it is feared by countless demons.

"Xiaowei!" After Feng Sheng came out of the shuttle, he happily walked towards a big rock.

There were two people standing there. One was dressed like a monk, bald, square-faced, big-eared, straight-nosed, square-mouthed, wearing a Buddha bead necklace that had skull-shaped beads the size of a fist, and holding a crescent spade. He was almost like the towering Monk Miaoxin in ’Outlaws of the Marsh’.

The other one was also about thirty, wearing a piece of Liudao Fumo Armor, hawk-nosed, deep-eyed, and had a long beard that dropped to his chest.

Feng Sheng greeted the two of them and introduced them to Li Xuan. "Xiaowei Li, this is my superior. He’s a Buddhist monk named Miaoxin. This other gentleman is the Flag Master of the Fifth Flag, Fumo Xiaowei Yu Shuang. Both of you, this here is Fumo Xiaowei Li Xuan who has recently been transferred to the Main Hall-"

"No need to say more, I know him. I heard that the Supervisor transferred a man from the south a few months ago to take over our job in the Shenlei Mansion. His name is Li Xuan, presumably this is the man."

Monk Miaoxin waved his hand impatiently, then asked coldly, "I have a question for you, how many people can that flying shuttle of yours carry at once?"

Seeing their indifferent attitudes, Li Xuan simply gave them a courteous salute as a formality, greeting them, then asked with confusion, "Why does the master ask such a question?"

"Can’t you see?"

Monk Miaoxin said irritably, "Those things down there, they are waiting for the night to fall. It’s already the end of the Hour of Shen, if we don’t evacuate the wounded here, we will all die."

The one named Yu Shuang, a Fumo Xiaowei, was rather composed, "What we mean is, we ask Master Li to evacuate the wounded with the shuttle first, then we will break out."

Li Xuan shook his head, "It’s no problem to carry thirty to forty people, but the ley lines here are distorted, the void is twisted, and my mana is insufficient to transport them out of the black fog within this time frame. Also, if you try to break out in the dark, none of you will survive."

Miaoxin and Yu Shuang both stopped breathing. They had never considered surviving, planning only to fight to the death after sending the wounded away.

Li Xuan then turned to Luo Yan with a side glance, "What do you think?"

"Not a big problem." Luo Yan stood with her hands behind her back, confident and disdainful. "It’s easiest to burn them all together. There are three on the fourth door of evil spirits, but they are not a big problem for you and me."

She knew that the current Li Xuan could easily kill one or two evil spirits belonging to the fourth door.

Jiang Hanyun couldn’t wait to get started, her hands itching for a fight. "It would be best to do it now."

Yue Qianqian, on the other hand, said, "Be careful of what’s behind. I noticed that there is an evil cultivator hiding there. He has four coffins with him, which could be very dangerous."

Monk Miaoxin paused at these words, then burst into swearwords. "Where did you troublemakers come from? Spouting nonsense here."
