Chapter 105: Controlling the Strings Like Rain

  Chen Jiu revealed a hint of sinister smile, looking at the python's head that had just burrowed into the ground, his finger pointing to the ground said: "Point Ground City".

  "Haha, living target, come and chop me down!" Chen Jiu continuously brought down heavenly thunder.

  The giant snake's head was fixed in the rock, and its entire body, stimulated by lightning, kept twisting frantically like a huge whip, crackling non-stop, leaving marks on the ground.

  Chen Jiu turned around and patted Yi Xiao's and Li Xinyi's heads: "Alright, the big snake is about to die, take a look".

  The two opened their eyes, looking at the dying snake struggling, Li Xinyu said strangely: "Ninth brother, your magic is always so strange, can even control lightning?"

  "This is just a couple of tricks I learned from Chao Xiaoyu, but his real skills are much more impressive." Chen Jiu pushed everything onto Chao Xiaoyu, after all, it was clear to everyone that Chao Xiaoyu had been cultivating his Taoist techniques.

  "Oh, Chao Xiao Yu Zi's cultivation technique is a family heirloom, many people have offered heavy gifts to hire her, seeking the wonders of her practice, but were all rejected by him. I didn't expect your relationship with Chao Xiao Yu Zi to be so good, it's really hard to understand how Master could take a liking to you." Yi Xiao Xue rolled his eyes and said.

  The giant snake stopped struggling at this time, Chen Jiu stretched out his hand to dispel the spell, and decisively didn't take Yi Xiao's words easily. Since discovering that Yi Xiao had an 80% chance of being a girl, Chen Jiu became cautious.

  With one slash of the knife, the snake's head was cut off. Chen Jiu took out the snake gall and with a flick of his hand, he pulled off the snake skin. Then, he dug out the snake's eyes and kicked at the ground where Di Shui had been drooling: "Here's your reward."

  After finishing, tidy up and put things in the backpack: "Let's continue to find herbs".

  No matter how that little body of his could swallow a big snake, anyway this guy's skill in finding herbs is not bad.

  "Chen Jiu, let's calculate the time. It's about time today. We should head back now, or we might not make it back in time and have to stay here," said Yi Xiao Xiao.

  "Ah, let's head back today, anyway, we've almost finished gathering herbs," said Chen Jiu.

  "Ah, Chen Jiu, didn't expect to run into you." Wang Yong led a few Fang Xian Dao cultivators and happened to bump into Chen Jiu.

  Chen nodded: "What a coincidence, have you found the Crow Spirit?"

  "This cave isn't that big, but it's not small either. With just the few of us, how can we possibly find anything? But you, on the other hand, have quite a harvest." Wang Yong shifted his gaze to the backpack behind Chen Jiu, where he could smell a bloody odor.

  "A few days ago, I killed a big snake and got some good stuff." Chen Jiu patted the back of his hand-held basket.

  "Where is Brother Chen going?"

  "It's time to head back, it's getting late now," said Chen Jiu with a smile.

  "Looks like we're going in the same direction," said Chen Jiu.

  "It's great that we can travel with Brother Chen, let's go out together."

  A few people walked a few steps, Chen Jiu saw Wang Yong's eyes flashing and staring at the backpack behind him, presumably suspecting that he had killed the Crow Spirit.

  "This won't do," Chen Jiu thought to himself.

  While dealing with Wang Yong, Chen Jiuzi casually plucked a leaf from a tree and, after a flash of golden light on his fingertips, the leaf gently floated to the ground.

  No one will pay attention to a leaf because it's too ordinary and inconspicuous.

  After walking two or three miles, the fallen leaves suddenly floated up and transformed into a crow spirit after a twist, but this crow spirit was a bit dull.

  However, this is not the problem. Suddenly, the "Crow Spirit" flew up and shuttled between the clouds, chirping after a while, and appeared and disappeared in the clouds from time to time.

  "Wu Ya Jing" Wang Yong looked up at the crow spirit in the clouds.

  "This can't be right! This guy was clearly defeated by me, how is he still showing off in front of us?" Chen Jiu said in surprise.

  "These monsters all have the blood veins of gods, and are quite strange. Perhaps Chen brother's previous palm did not heavily injure it, but only drove it back, who knows?" Wang Yong said.

  Yi Xiao touched his chin: "How can we get rid of the Crow Spirit? Just letting it go like this is really unsatisfying."

  "It's too late, we can't afford to waste any more time." Wang Yong said, withdrawing his gaze.

  Chen let out a deep sigh: "Alas, we came here to make a fortune, but didn't find any treasure. It was all a waste of my effort. I just hope that after we leave, we can find Chen Yi's trail and maybe even take the treasure from him."

  Wang Yong's eyes sparkled: "Not bad, we still have a chance, as long as we can find Chen Yi, we can find the treasure."

  "Never mind, let's go." Chen Jiu turned around and left.

  A crow's cry echoed in the sky, its voice fading away, transforming into a black shadow that descended to the ground, turning back into leaves that fell to the earth, and in an instant, a flame burst forth, reducing the leaves to ashes.

  "We've lost a lot of good men on this road," said Wang Yong.

  Looking at the crowd behind him, Chen Jiu sighed helplessly: "This is also an unavoidable thing, treasures are always tempting to people."

  This man's hand was at least half crippled.

  "It should be here," said Chen Jiu.

  Yi Xiao Xue glanced around: "It should be here, no mistake".

  "What's going on? Why can't I see the Gate of Heaven anymore?" Wang Yong asked in astonishment.

  Chen Jiu looked around at the soil and then walked over to a large tree and sat down: "I reckon something unexpected happened outside, so the entrance of the cave was closed."

  "What shall we do?" asked Wang Yong.

  Chen Ji slowly lay down on the branch: "Wait".

  Xiao Xiao lightly jumped to Chen Jiu's side and lay down quietly: "We have nothing to do but wait, unless we can shatter the void and break through the barrier of this small dimension."

  "Stop dreaming, Master. Even the Dean can't break through the barrier, let alone us." After saying that, he also came to Chen Jiu's side and lay down.

  Three people formed an iron triangle, and the rest of them were smart enough not to come up. The scholars of Qingyang Academy sat down in a circle around the big tree very consciously. This forest is not safe, it's more realistic to rely on their own leader sheep.

  Chen Yi left, no one sang a duet with Chen Jiu, all the students at this moment huddled together.

  Wang Yong's Fang Xian Dao practitioners sat together, with a clear distinction between them.

  Time flies by every minute and second, outside, it has already turned into a different world.

  The sky was filled with countless flying creatures, among which were also mixed with ferocious beasts, fiercely attacking the crowd below.

  Not far away, the town government's army controlled the strings in an orderly manner. After that, tens of thousands of arrows were like raindrops, carrying curved arcs, piercing through the birds and beasts' camp, forming a vacuum.

  The mighty and righteous energy is boiling over, bursting forth into the sky.

  The commander of the town's great army, with a burst of martial will, threw just one punch, causing the sky to shake and countless flying birds to turn into bloody mist.

  "Daring demons, you dare to rebel against the heavens and cause chaos. Are you trying to taste the might of my Human Clan's expeditionary army?" The voice of the Prefectural Governor was thick with blood energy, scorching hot like a small sun, and the dark spirits of the crowd were completely unable to escape.

  The cultivators of Fang Xian Dao are not just limited to fighting after they have reached the state of enlightenment, but rather, reaching that state only makes their battles more convenient and efficient.

  "Haha, today I've seen the might of your town's army. If the imperial court's expeditionary force really comes tomorrow, we won't be afraid either." It was unknown who said this among the thousands and tens of thousands of birds.

  "The three armies form an array!" The town governor and commander-in-chief bellowed.

  "Hah, hah, hah" The three armies moved in unison, their energy and blood surging to the sky, astonishing ghosts and gods. In an instant, Fang Xian's magical methods and the Confucians' majestic and upright energy were all dispersed by that scorching iron-blooded energy and the will of the three armies.

  The spell lost its effect, and the birds were no longer under its control. Their instinctive fear caused them to fly wildly in all directions, but just as they had barely escaped from a short distance away, they were once again enveloped by a willpower and returned.

  The three armies cannot always shout and kill without stopping, there is no way, they can only be killed.

  Above, flying birds; below, roaming beasts. The 30,000-strong garrison army drew their bows like rain, the corpses fell like dumplings, and they were cooked in a loud crash.

  "Brothers, let's persevere, look at all these birds and beasts, after so many years of practicing martial arts, what's lacking is this pure flesh and blood. As long as we kill more, in the future, we'll have meat to eat every day. Once our cultivation has sufficient supply of pure blood, it will surely reach a higher level. Everyone, let's persevere."
