Elder Xu shoved them aside and shouted sternly, "Find Tang Jingye, now!"
The only way this monstrous thing can invade a celestial body is by being eaten. And in the past three days, he has only drunk a few bowls of sugar water.
He grabbed a small knife with his backhand, pointed the blade at his chest, and was about to stab himself.
This thing in the chest and abdomen cannot be expelled by simply using true energy; it can only be removed by living.
The disciple was terrified and tried to stop him, but he was swept away by a flick of his sleeve, shattering his skull.
Even when faced with a life-or-death situation, he didn't control his strength.
Just then, the door creaked open and someone rushed in.
As everyone drew their weapons, ready to make a move, they realized that the attackers were their own people. Liao Han.
"Junior Brother Liao? Where is Uncle Tang?"
Before Elder Xu acted strangely, the last question he asked was about Tang Jingye's whereabouts.
"Uncle Tang... Uncle Tang is dead!" Liao Han's face turned pale, and only then did everyone notice that he was covered in blood, his right hand still clutching his chest. "We had just arrived near Rongshan Sect when Bing Yuansi led a large group of people out and started killing us without saying a word. The immortal in charge was incredibly powerful; Uncle Tang couldn't defeat him and was killed in no time!"
Elder Xu, his sword raised in mid-air, was stunned by what he heard.
Tang Jingye died just like that?
So, was it Tang Jingye who plotted against him?
Because of this delay, the substance entered his lungs.
Elder Xu swiftly cut open his chest cavity with a backhand stroke, enduring the excruciating pain as he reached out to rip it out.
The disciples were horrified as he pulled out clumps of red and white, sticky substances. The white stuff was the unknown substance that had invaded their internal organs, while the red stuff was Elder Xu's flesh and blood!
Elder Xu gritted his teeth so hard they were about to break, but he focused his mind and asked Liao Han, "You...you saw Tang Jingye being killed with your own eyes?"
"Yes, yes!" Liao Han nodded vigorously. "It was the immortal who spoke with the sect leader that day, who pierced Uncle Tang's heart with his flying sword! I saw him fall with my own eyes."
Is it Liu Qingdao? Elder Xu was about to speak when another sharp pain shot through his chest.
He dissected his chest cavity, but the healing power of his immortal body was too strong. In just a dozen breaths, the flesh around the wound began to shrink back. But Elder Xu clearly knew that the object hadn't been completely removed yet—
It squeezed into his alveoli, raging and rapidly splitting.
The alveoli are small and scattered, so even with this method of extraction, it's impossible to remove them completely.
Elder Xu gritted his teeth, his five fingers turning red like branding irons, and probed into the wound.
He would use the true fire refined over many years to burn this thing alive.
As for his lungs, although they were also scorched by the real fire, they were ultimately of the same origin and would not be burned to ashes.
Elder Xu has killed countless people and suffered countless injuries in his life, but he never expected that one day he would put himself through such torture!
When the fire started, he was in so much pain that his forehead was covered in sweat and he almost fainted.
Just then, the bell hanging outside suddenly rang.
That is a powerful warning device.
Liao Han exclaimed in surprise:
"They...they're coming!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
"Take Master away!" Elder Xu's two remaining disciples immediately stepped forward to support their master, shouting at the same time, "Stop them!"
Liao Han's long sword shot out.
……
Today, the city of Wei'an is teeming with powerful figures.
With a wave of his arm, Liu Qingdao instantly summoned six or seven immortals and great demons, including Aunt Zhu, sixty cultivators, and more than seven hundred Wei'an City garrison soldiers.
With such a large number of people, Yuefu Inn could be completely surrounded.
After making arrangements for everyone, Liu Qingdao went to the backyard of Yuefu Inn, intending to first be polite and then forceful, and personally knocked on Xu Wenqin's courtyard door.
He also recognized Elder Xu; the two had spoken on various occasions before, and Liu Qingdao knew that Elder Xu had a relatively mild temper and was not an unreasonable person.
Neither side has any deep-seated hatred for the other, either publicly or privately. It would be best if they could sit down and talk things over, turning hostility into friendship.
However, as he reached the door and was about to reach out, a hurried shout suddenly came from inside:
"They...they're coming!"
The sound was loud and somewhat anxious.
They've caught up? Their operation has been discovered? Liu Qingdao frowned, then knocked on the door: "Cang Yan and Yuan Si, Liu..."
Before he could finish announcing his name, the door in front of him suddenly slammed open with a loud crack!
All the fragments rushed towards him.
Of course, the most ferocious thing was a sword light as sharp as a bolt of lightning that flew in from inside the door and pierced straight for his heart in the blink of an eye.
Fast, accurate, and deadly.
Liu Qingdao dared to knock on the door, so of course he was prepared. He took a quick step and was half a zhang away, precisely dodging the sneak attack.
The door burst open, and he saw several people standing in the courtyard, the one in the lead being Xu Wenqin!
Even immortals can preserve their youth. After many years, Xu Wenqin's appearance has not changed much, except that his beard has grown longer and his hair has been changed to a topknot. Liu Qingdao can still recognize him at a glance.
Xu Wenqin was clutching his stomach with one hand, his hands, clothes, and the ground were covered in blood, his face was pale and bluish, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
Liu Qingdao had sharp eyes and noticed at a glance that the wound on his chest was very deep.
Before he could speak, Xu Wenqin gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Qingdao, you despicable scoundrel! I really misjudged you before!"
"...?" Having served as the leader of Bingyuan Division for so many years, Liu Qingdao had seen countless unreasonable immortals and demons, but he had never been so speechless.
He just knocked on the door, how is that despicable?
"Brother Xu, you've misunderstood. Who...?"
Before the rest of the story could be told, two more ethereal spirits appeared in the courtyard. The larger one was humanoid, but pale green, with bulging muscles all over its body. It wielded two giant hammers and swung them at Liu Qingdao's head. Before the force of the blows even hit anything, the walls, trees, and buildings within ten feet in front of it were all smashed down by the gale.
"The Wrathful Sea Yaksha King!" Liu Qingdao recognized what it was, raised his hand to block the Maoling Giant who was about to rush up and fight, and with his other hand he grabbed a round, earthy yellow hard shell and threw it upwards.
This thing grows as soon as it sees the wind, and as soon as it rotates into mid-air, it transforms into a pale yellow dome that protects the people behind Liu Qingdao.
Immediately afterwards, the ethereal giant hammer slammed into the dome with a loud bang that reverberated for miles around.
The shell had several cracks from being smashed, but it didn't break.
However, the strong winds blew outwards from the round shell, wave after wave pushing towards the center of the street and nearby buildings. Wherever they passed, houses collapsed like building blocks, and dust filled the air.
Elder Xu's ethereal spirit was the King of the Raging Sea Yakshas, exceptionally powerful in life, but perished in a battle with the Dragon Clan, resulting in the Yuanshan Sect reaping the benefits. Its aura is like ocean waves; any enemy who dares to intercept it will be relentlessly slammed onto the beach like the first wave.
At first glance, the elders of Qixia Sect seem similar to the Demon Puppet Masters, both capable of controlling puppets in battle, since ethereal spirits can also be considered puppets. The difference lies in the fact that Demon Puppet Masters themselves don't possess much combat ability, but the elders of Qixia Sect are all masters of multitasking, able to manipulate ethereal spirits while also fighting flexibly themselves, achieving an effect far exceeding the sum of its parts.
