1038: Chapter 362: Chanjie Takes Action!

The celestial beings outside the hall were momentarily stupefied.

The golden light suddenly dimmed, seemingly allowing entry.

Xuanyuan Huangdi moved with his sword, the Xuanyuan Sword slashing several marks, and the continuously flickering golden light ‘ping’ shattered.

All the celestials rushed forward, with Yun Zhongzi and Fenghou being the quickest.

However, the explosion of golden light revealed a scene inside the hall that made their scalps tingle.

A huge bird’s head rolled on the ground, the headless bird carcass kept retreating, its neck sprouting ghostly figures, as if dozens of heads were struggling to emerge.

From the four walls of the great hall came sobbing and wailing sounds, as the ‘fruited humans’ at the ends of thousands of spirit vines cried incessantly.

The Goddess of the Sun, atop her chariot, had only a vague silhouette, now colliding spear against Great Shield, directly confronting Guilingling, both figures being thrown backwards…

Xihe suddenly turned around, her long spear thrusting towards Li Ping’an’s neck.

Li Ping’an reacted with astonishing speed, or rather, he had previously rehearsed this instant magical combat scenario in his mind.

Having successfully decapitated the bird and with his body torn by violent spiritual power, he had completed his turn, pushing off the ground with immortal power, darting towards the entrance of the hall.

Xuanyuan Huangdi brandished a sword strike directly at Xihe!

Xihe defended with her long spear, was struck and sent flying, harshly crashing into the wall of the hall.

Yet her figure showed no disturbance.

Dozens of streaks of light burst forth!

They were various Spiritual Treasures flung by Yun Zhongzi, bombarding the area where Xihe was with relentless fury.

Yun Zhongzi had already dashed to Li Ping’an’s side, grabbing hold of him.

Fenghou rushed to the corner to catch Li Dazhi.

Guilingling, wielding the Slaying Immortal Sword, was about to charge forward to besiege Xihe with the other celestials, when Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun’s shout came from the entrance of the hall: “Retreat quickly!

The golden light is condensing again!”

Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun’s words had barely faded;

The great hall trembled;

The severed head of the giant crow turned to ash and vanished, and from the neck of the giant crow, divine light crisscrossed, forming a new head.

From all around came thousands of voices:

“Fellow Daoist, do you know of the Heavenly Dao?”

That impenetrable wall of golden light reappeared, about to close once more.

All the celestials rushed towards the hall entrance!

Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun and other slightly slower Chan Teaching experts made it out first, as the golden light was about to fully close.

Thud!

In the midst of a dull impact sound, Immortal Yuding pressed a square cauldron with both hands, forcefully cutting off the surrounding light barrier!

He shouted loudly, and light grey traces appeared on the edge of the cauldron;

Several streaks of light shot through at high speed, and the last to leave, Guilingling, casually grabbed Immortal Yuding by the shoulder, pulling both him and the cauldron out.

A resonant hum, a chanting voice.

The golden light closed again.

Within, the bloated giant crow spread its wings and let out an angry scream towards the outside of the hall.

Xihe, who had endured the relentless bombing by the Spiritual Treasures, remained unharmed, her gaze fixed intensely on Li Dazhi outside, her features gradually becoming clear, and her eyes blisteringly fervent.

Her clear voice came through: “Fellow Daoist, why not merge with me?”

All the celestials looked simultaneously at Li Ping’an.

Immortal Taiyi, his eyes full of confusion, clicked his tongue and said: “You even managed to charm Xihe?

Just one fight and you want to merge?

You do have a knack for attracting great female powers, brother!”

Li Ping’an’s mouth twitched, he hurriedly said: “She’s looking at my father!”

All the celestials looked simultaneously at Li Dazhi.

Li Dazhi stamped his foot and shouted: “Stop gossiping, let’s go!

I’m afraid she wants to devour me!”

Yun Zhongzi stroked his beard and chuckled: “How shall we deal with this place?”

Guang Chengzi sighed: “This golden light renders us powerless, we have no choice but to retreat for now.”

Almost at the moment Guang Chengzi’s voice faded, the Northern Continent shook suddenly, and the golden light barrier enveloping the hall began to swell slowly outward.

Li Ping’an hurriedly said: “Let’s retreat first!”

The celestials rode the clouds together, hastily retreating towards the sky behind them.

But in just a blink of an eye, the golden light barrier revealing the Heavenly Dao had already swallowed the whole ancient wood forest, making the great hall appear minuscule in the eyes of the celestials.

What happened next made Li Ping’an feel a chilling terror.

The enormous pine trees seemed to come to life, their branches sprouting ‘light membrane mushrooms’, which kept changing and solidifying into humanoid shapes, then flew towards Mo Linyuan’s hall.

Countless streaks of light surged towards Mo Linyuan.

Li Ping’an fixed his gaze to see that half of these human figures were dressed as the Witch Clan, a small part as the Demon Race, and a small part as the Human Race.

How many living beings had Mo Linyuan stolen and planted here?

With the Heavenly Dao shrouding it, Li Ping’an only felt a strange presence when he came here, and despite multiple investigations, he had not discovered these beings.

“What is hidden inside the largest pine tree Mo Linyuan asked me to go to before?”

While contemplating this, Li Ping’an looked towards the largest pine tree, and his pupils abruptly constricted.

There, the forms of two figures, one large and one small, were slowly forming.

The large figure was a scar-covered corpse, human face, canine ears, bestial body, with two green snakes hanging by the ears, identical to the description of the Twelve Ancestor Witch, Xibi Shi, from ancient texts.

The smaller figure…

had no head…

Xingtian!

The great witch Xingtian!

Li Ping’an stared at the scene before him, his Dao heart irresistibly quivering, almost yearning to scream aloud.

Xingtian was actually in the Northern Continent, hiding in this ancient wood forest of Mo Linyuan!

That old scoundrel Mo Linyuan, from the ancient times to the present, had stealthily abducted who knows how many from the Witch Clan, turned them into celestial slaves hidden in this forest!

Li Ping’an steadied his Dao heart.

Kill Xingtian, and the calamity will recede on its own!

The White-robed Celestial Emperor’s beheading calamity, could it truly correspond with the chaos of the Heavenly Dao?

Regardless, there was now a glimmer of hope in sight.

Guilingling exclaimed in shock: “Look!

That old crow is taking flight!”
