The Path to Immortality

"Bodhi tree and Five Elements Lotus are all in hand, Qu Zhenchuan's journey can be said to be complete."

The old man put the jade box containing the Five Elements Lotus into the bag of all things, thinking to himself.

Next, just wait for Qu Xiangyuan to return, and then he can return to the Magic Sect.

But just when the old man thought so, the magic skills he practiced suddenly showed a slight change. It was as if he felt some invisible call and attraction, urging him.

"What is this?"

As a second-level spiritual plant husband, the old man usually stayed in the Magic Sect and rarely fought with others. Therefore, he didn't react at the first time, and was still wondering where his strange feeling came from.

But after a few breaths, the old man remembered something and his face suddenly changed.

"Not good! This kind of movement... Could it be that he sensed the fluctuations of Nirvana Blood Art?"

But the range of this secret method is at most a hundred miles.

And where are the other magic cultivators of the Magic Sect within a hundred miles of the Song family?

Could it be that Qu Zhenchuan taught him?

The old man's heart skipped a beat, and he felt bad.

Qu Xiangyuan was not only a candidate for the demon child, but also a member of the clan of the Jindan old demon Qu Tiansheng.

This time, he was the only one who went with him. If anything happened to Qu Xiangyuan, no matter what the reason, he would never be able to escape responsibility.

The old man shuddered at the thought of Qu Tiansheng's ruthless character and his style of taking his anger out on others.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: he must try to save this Qu Zhenchuan, even at the cost of his own life!

Otherwise, what awaits him will be a fate worse than death!

As for abandoning Qu Xiangyuan and running away immediately, the old man had never thought about it.

His soul lamp was still burning in the sect.

If he didn't run away, he might still have some chance of survival because of his second-level spiritual plant husband, and other Jindan ancestors would be willing to help him intercede. If he dared to run away, no one could save him unless the demon master spoke up in person!

But the old man was also very clear about Qu Xiangyuan's strength. There were few opponents below the Jindan realm.

The opponent who could beat this true disciple to the point that he had to use the Nirvana Blood Technique to survive must be extremely powerful, or his number must be ten times that of his own.

No matter which possibility it was, he could not rescue him rashly.

The old man now only hoped that after the powerful enemy of unknown origin severely injured Qu Zhenchuan, he would also be seriously injured.

Only in this way would he have a chance to save Qu Zhenchuan.

"To be safe, it's best to call the Song family cultivators to fight together!"

The old man had an idea in a flash.

He knew that the Song family hated him and Qu Xiangyuan to the bone. If he said directly that Qu Zhenchuan was seriously injured and dying and urgently needed rescue, the Song family might rebel and keep him with them.

He had to change his words and deceive them first.

Once the fight started, if they wanted to turn against him, it would be beyond the Song family's control!

The old man turned his eyes and said to Song Pingan: "Master Song, I suddenly remembered an urgent matter and must go to the nearby market immediately. Please inform Qu Zhenchuan when he comes back and say that I am leaving first."

What is so urgent?

Song Pingan felt a little strange, but seeing that the old man was very anxious, he didn't say much, and said: "In this case, Daoist friend, please do as you please. Song will certainly help convey it."

The old man nodded and was about to leave. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he said to Song Pingan: "The situation has been chaotic recently. There is no guarantee that there are no robbery cultivators near the market. Master Song, please arrange two foundation-building cultivators to accompany me."

You also need Song family cultivators to escort you?

You are also a foundation-building cultivator of the Yuanying Sect. Are you afraid of ordinary robbery cultivators?

Song Pingan was speechless at this request. He felt that the old man in front of him was really afraid of death.

But he could not resist the other party's urging, so he could only summon two elders of the Song family and give them some instructions.

A moment later, three escape lights rose into the air and flew to the north.

………

"Here they come!"

Fang Ping, who was meditating to recover his magic power, saw the escape lights flying from the direction of Jinwu Mountain where the Song family was located, and immediately stood up and began to perform.

He pretended to be in a state of loss with Qu Xiangyuan, and controlled the Tiansha Sword, launching a series of attacks weakly, slowly wearing away the power of the blood cocoon.

The blood cocoon formed by the Nirvana Blood Art has an extremely amazing protective ability. With this level of attack, it may not be broken even if it lasts for a quarter of an hour.

And in this pretentious attack, three escape lights flew rapidly, approaching hundreds of feet.

The old man in the lead had clearly seen Fang Ping on the top of the mountain and the blood cocoon beside him. He pointed with his hand, whispered a few words, and then flew over first.

The two foundation-building monks accompanying him seemed to hesitate, but they could only fly over with him.

The three did not deliberately conceal their whereabouts, but perhaps because they were seriously injured and too weak, Fang Ping did not notice it at all.

It was not until the three approached within a hundred feet that he vaguely realized something, looked back, and his face suddenly changed. He did not care about continuing to destroy the blood cocoon, and controlled the escape light to turn around and escape!

Witnessing this scene, the old man who had prepared for a desperate fight breathed a sigh of relief, and even called it a fluke in his heart.

Sure enough, although the powerful enemy defeated Qu Zhenchuan, he was obviously seriously injured. Seeing his arrival, he did not even think of testing the truth and ran away directly!

This is almost the best situation the old man can imagine.

As long as Qu Zhenchuan's life can be saved, he will not only be innocent, but also meritorious!

He didn't want to cause any trouble, so he didn't even think about chasing Fang Ping. He only called the two Song family foundation builders who were still confused, prepared to protect the blood cocoon and send it back to the Magic Sect.

"So cautious? You don't even want to chase him?"

Fang Ping, who was pretending to escape, was surprised when his consciousness scanned the movements behind him.

However, judging from the fact that they didn't notice the formation at all and didn't intend to chase him, the strength of the three people seemed to be weaker than he thought.

"It's a pity that I didn't catch a big fish..."

He shook his head, no longer hesitated, took out the formation plate, and activated the Green Wave Demon Subduing Formation!

Before the three monks who came to rescue could react, they saw a series of green light pillars rising into the sky, accompanied by the sound of green waves, quickly forming a powerful formation, trapping them in it.

"No, this is a trap!"

The old man realized it later and his face changed drastically.

The two accompanying Song family cultivators finally realized that they were being used by the old man, and they couldn't help but curse in panic.

But then, their curses were interrupted by a series of fierce green waves.

Under Fang Ping's urging, the Green Wave Demon Subduing Formation was fully operational. In an instant, the three people were completely suppressed!

………

A quarter of an hour later.

As the two suspected Song family foundation-building cultivators died one after another, the Green Wave Demon Subduing Formation temporarily stopped attacking.

With Fang Ping's strength, assisted by the first-level formation, it was simply a crushing blow to deal with three ordinary foundation-building cultivators in the early stage.

The reason for delaying for a quarter of an hour was nothing more than wanting to see if more demon cultivators could be attracted.

But unfortunately, until the old man was left in the formation, Fang Ping did not see any other reinforcements.

As for why the old man was spared for the time being, of course it was not to spare him, but Fang Ping was a little curious about the identity of the cultivator who claimed to be surnamed Qu and his purpose in coming to the Song family.
