Chapter 550: Came

As soon as the golden body dharma image manifested, spiritual energy surged horizontally, its momentum unparalleled. The illusory face was devoid of sorrow or joy, and with one finger, the golden body pointed towards the terrified Saint Child.

With that single finger, the power was astonishing.

The Saint Child's face was forcibly contorted, his limbs gradually broke, and his flesh and blood gradually blurred.

But in just a flash, he was intact again as before.

Between his eyebrows, a blood-colored imprint lit up, emitting a deep and pitch-black luster.

At the same time, behind the Saint Child, a huge blood-colored human shadow emerged.

This human shadow, like a blood figure soaked in foul blood, had surging qi and blood, was soul-snatching and soul-devouring, and its pressure was terrifying.

This was a blood-colored dharma image!

It was the Demon Path ancestor's Cave Void blood shadow.

It was also a talisman!

It was a powerful life-saving talisman, similar to the "life destiny long life talisman"!

Bai Zisheng took advantage of the Saint Child's unpreparedness, approached secretly, and then self-destructed the life destiny long life talisman, triggering the golden body dharma image, intending to thoroughly kill this Demon Path Saint Child!

And with one finger from the dharma image, the Saint Child's life hung by a thread.

The life-saving talisman on the Saint Child's forehead was also forced to activate, contending with the golden body dharma image to protect his life.

One "life" for one "life".

One talisman shattered another.

In Dali Mountain.

The Righteous Path golden body dharma image and the Demon Path blood-colored dharma image collided with finger and palm, causing heaven and earth to collapse.

Golden and blood-colored spiritual energy swept across heaven and earth.

Mountain peaks collapsed, grass and trees were uprooted, soil and stones turned to dust, and affected demon beasts were crushed to ash.

Bai Zixi still blocked in front of Mo Hua.

The remaining power of the long life talisman, guided by Bai Zixi's will, protected Mo Hua and the nearby Aunt Xue.

Mo Hua was unaffected.

He stood there stunned, looking at the two dharma images, extremely shocked in his heart.

"This is... a true cultivator..."

"Moving mountains and overturning seas, destroying heaven and extinguishing earth..."

"This is true cultivation that penetrates heaven and earth..."

"Cave Void realm..."

In Mo Hua's gaze, there was both shock and yearning, and at the same time, he involuntarily gripped his own small hand.

One day, he also wanted to hold the power to reverse heaven and earth in his hands.

Covering the sky with a flip of his hand, leveling the ground with a cover of his hand!

At that time, no one would dare plot against his master, and no one would dare bully his junior brother and junior sister! No one would dare harm the people he cherished!

The dharma images clashed, just for this one instant, yet it shook heaven and moved earth.

A moment later, thunder clouds returned to the horizon.

The heavenly tribulation descended for the second time.

Scarlet red tribulation thunder, shaking heaven, descended, seeming to carry cold anger, wanting to erase the Righteous Path golden body dharma image and the Demon Path blood-colored dharma image together!

Everything returned to calm again...

And before, when the first long life talisman shattered.

The heavenly mechanism of this place had already been stirred.

The Nether Path's heavenly mechanism lock and seal were erased together by the tribulation thunder, the heavenly mechanism leaked, and cause and effect were knowable.

The golden body dharma image produced huge spiritual energy fluctuations, which also transmitted outwards from Dali Mountain, shocking cultivators.

A thousand miles away, in Liyuan City.

A middle-aged white-robed cultivator, perceiving the shattering of the first life destiny long life talisman, and also perceiving the fluctuation of a Cave Void realm dharma image, trembled in his heart. For a moment, he wasn't careful and crushed the teacup in his hand.

"Life destiny... long life talisman?"

"Shattered... shattered?!"

Even with his late stage Gold Core cultivation and his deep city planning accumulated over two hundred years of high position, his face instantly turned pale at this time.

He was the head officer of the Dao Court Division in Liyuan City.

Liyuan City was the largest immortal city in the entire Dali Mountain state boundary.

And the Liyuan City Dao Court Division was also the largest, with the most cultivators, and the highest authority Dao Court Division in the entire Dali Mountain state boundary.

He, as the head officer, was responsible for the safety of the entire Dali Mountain state boundary.

With the greatest power came the greatest responsibility.

But now, at this moment, while drinking tea, without any warning, he actually perceived a Cave Void dharma image fluctuation.

And, one life destiny long life talisman shattered...

The white-robed cultivator's heart turned cold, and his mouth was bitter.

"Which family's little ancestor is this, with nothing to do but play in Dali Mountain, and even shattered his own long life talisman..."

Life destiny long life talisman... was that an ordinary talisman?

Could a family that could plant a life destiny long life talisman be an ordinary family?

Could a disciple who could be planted with a life destiny long life talisman be an ordinary disciple?

Could a life destiny long life talisman shatter without a life-or-death crisis?

What did this explain?

It explained that the public security in the Dali Mountain state boundary was very problematic!

If any problem occurred, he, the state boundary's overall head officer, would surely find it difficult to shirk responsibility!

A black iron pot would be buckled on his forehead, even if it wasn't his pot!

Those great families might not listen to your explanations; the pot had to be carried by someone, and someone always bore the anger.

This was still only a long life talisman shattering.

What if this little ancestor who was planted with a long life talisman had another mishap...

The white-robed cultivator's face was pale. He immediately stood up and said sternly:

"Someone come!"

An executive officer walked in, cupped his hands and said: "Head Officer, what are your instructions?"

The white-robed cultivator looked at the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuation, compared it with the pattern of the Dali Mountain state boundary, calculated slightly in his heart, vaguely, and only after a long while thought of a name:

Li Mountain City...

"Transmit a message to the Li Mountain City Dao Court Division, ask what happened over there?"

"Yes."

The executive officer took the order and went down. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he returned, his expression grave, and said:

"Head Officer, there's no reply from Li Mountain City..."

The white-robed cultivator frowned, "No reply?"

He grew angry and scolded: "Neglecting duty? So negligent and lax, actually..."

The white-robed cultivator suddenly started, his heart slightly cold.

No reply...

Was it that there was no reply, or... no one could reply?

Could it be that the Li Mountain City Dao Court Division encountered some accident?

Under the Dao Court, with bright heaven and earth, it's impossible, right?

Who could be so bold?

The white-robed cultivator's face sank like water, and then he instructed:

"Pass down the order, within the time it takes for one stick of incense, all Gold Core stage vice head officers and executive officers within Liyuan City, all come to see me!"

"All! Anyone, no excuses allowed!"

"One stick of incense, whoever dares not come, immediately get out of the Dao Court Division for me!"

The executive officer was greatly alarmed when he heard this, knowing that this matter was definitely extraordinary.

It was the first time he saw the head officer, who usually showed no joy or anger on his face, display such a stern expression.

The executive officer immediately passed down the order.

In the time it takes for one stick of incense, all the Gold Core cultivators in the entire Liyuan City Dao Court Division gathered in front of the white-robed cultivator.

Their expressions were grave, mixed with confusion.

"Head Officer, exactly what happened?"

The white-robed cultivator waved his hand, "Immediately follow me to Li Mountain City!"

"All go?" A vice head officer was startled.

The white-robed cultivator thought for a bit, casually pointed at a Gold Core cultivator, "You stay and guard, everyone else goes."

The crowd exchanged glances.

The vice head officer still couldn't help but ask: "Head Officer, exactly what happened?"

The white-robed cultivator was annoyed in his heart, but seeing everyone's confused expressions, he still said concisely:

"A life destiny long life talisman has shattered, we're going to see."

"Life destiny long life talisman?!"

The crowd was shocked and discussed:

"What is that thing?"

"A talisman?"

"So important?"

"Worth such a mobilization of troops?"

The white-robed cultivator paused, speechless.

After all, Liyuan City was still relatively remote. These Gold Core cultivators, although their origins were not bad, were mostly from small families and small sects, and didn't know much about this kind of true great inheritance.

"Head Officer, is it a bit, making a fuss over a minor issue?" Someone said tactfully.

How big a matter could one talisman be, to mobilize all the top level Gold Core cultivators of the entire Dali Mountain state boundary's largest Dao Court Division?

The vice head officer also said in confusion:

"Head Officer, is this long life talisman, so urgent?"

The white-robed cultivator was so angry he didn't know what to do, and could only grit his teeth and say hatefully:

"You know nothing!"

"I can only tell you all, one life destiny long life talisman, compared to this old man's life, is! He! Mom! Precious!!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd all changed color.

They then realized that this matter was likely much more serious than they had thought.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The white-robed cultivator said sternly, "Put on your dao robes, bring your magic treasures, prepare enough pills, and let's go now!"

"Yes!"

The crowd's expressions were solemn, and they said in a deep voice.

The white-robed cultivator nodded and was about to say something when he suddenly perceived a certain aura, his heart palpitated, and he stared wide-eyed in terror.

The vice head officer hesitated, pointed to the distance, and stammered:

"Head Officer, a long life talisman shattering, is that how it looks..."

The white-robed cultivator suddenly turned around. With just one look, his legs turned soft and he almost couldn't stand.

In the distance, golden light filled the sky, and the aura was terrifying.

"Another one... shattered?"

No, not just...

The white-robed cultivator focused his gaze.

On the far horizon, one golden light and one red light stood opposed.

Although far apart and not clearly visible, this thick aura was clearly... two dharma images?

And among them, that blood shadow... was a Demon Path Cave Void?!

A Demon Path...

Undying talisman?!

In a short time, two life destiny long life talismans were shattered, and one Demon Path undying talisman?

"This... exactly what happened?"

The white-robed cultivator's gaze was terrified.

And further away, in Dao State, the Central Dao Court.

Heaven Pivot Pavilion.

The Pavilion Elder was just playing chess with the Supervisor.

The Pavilion Elder's hair was all white, his face old, but his gaze was deep. The Supervisor's hair was half-white, his face was like a jade crown, and his gaze was humble.

The two took turns placing pieces.

After a moment, anxious footsteps came from outside the door.

A disciple of the Heaven Pivot Pavilion hurriedly ran to the door, then stopped hard, suppressed his anxiety, and respectfully knocked on the door.

The Pavilion Elder acted as if he hadn't heard and continued playing chess.

The disciple outside the door was anxious as if burning, but he could only wait respectfully.

The Supervisor couldn't bear to watch and said in a low voice: "Pavilion Elder..."

The Pavilion Elder then came back to his senses, sighed slightly, moved his gaze away from the chessboard, and slowly said: "Come in."

The disciple seemed to have heard an imperial edict. Although urgent, his footsteps were light as he entered the door, without making a sound.

He bent at the waist, presented a jade slip to the Pavilion Elder, and said respectfully:

"Pavilion Elder, it has been calculated that in the third grade Dali Mountain state boundary, Li Mountain City..."

"Um."

The Pavilion Elder nodded slightly, but gave no other instructions.

For a while, the disciple was at a loss.

The Supervisor was helpless, shook his head, took the jade slip, and said to the disciple:

"The Pavilion Elder knows, go and pass down the word. This matter has been planned for a long time, there were regulations early on. Just do as planned..."

The disciple relaxed his breath and respectfully took his leave.

The Supervisor hesitated for a moment, looked at the content of the jade slip in his hand, was slightly moved, "Nether Path heavenly mechanism lock..."

"Blood banner sealing the city, demon sword hanging life?"

"Life destiny long life talisman... shattered..."

"Undying talisman... Demon Path Saint Child?"

The Supervisor silently recited, his expression changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Pavilion Elder..."

"Um." The Pavilion Elder replied faintly.

The Supervisor looked at the Pavilion Elder, his gaze surprised, "You already know?"

The Pavilion Elder was focused on the chessboard, not looking away, and didn't answer.

The Supervisor said carefully again:

"Shangguan family, Yun family, Dao Xuan Sect... a few days ago, they asked you to calculate, you said you couldn't calculate, were you prevaricating them?"

"The matter of Li Mountain City, you... already knew?"

"You..."

The Pavilion Elder raised his head and said displeasedly: "You, how can you not concentrate when playing chess?"

The Supervisor paused, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Wind rising and clouds surging, immortal mechanisms floating and sinking.

Was this the time to play chess?

The Pavilion Elder shook his head and sighed: "It's not good for you like this, your heart is floating and impatient, you lack composure. You won't make progress in playing chess your whole life..."

The Supervisor silently looked at the chessboard.

On the chessboard, the Pavilion Elder's chess pieces had already been "eaten" by him for the most part.

This was still him considering the Pavilion Elder's face, unable to bear it, and intentionally giving the Pavilion Elder many pieces.

Although he said so, it wasn't very respectful.

But it was well-known that the Heaven Pivot Pavilion Elder was a famous "bad chess player" near and far.

Now the Pavilion Elder actually said that he "won't make progress in playing chess his whole life", he was really somewhat, didn't know what to say...

The Supervisor felt a bit tired in his heart, but still asked helplessly: "Aren't you a bit anxious?"

"Anxious about what?" The Pavilion Elder looked indifferent.

"Of course it's... Dao Xuan Sect and the others..."

In the Pavilion Elder's old gaze, a trace of chill suddenly flashed.

"Anxious for them to go die?"

The Supervisor was startled, his gaze gradually grave, "You, have calculated something?"

The Pavilion Elder completely lost interest in playing chess. He placed a piece, and all his large block of pieces were "given away", and said coldly:

"Not calculating is for their own good."

"Not calculating, they won't go die."

"Calculating a bit slower, they will also die a bit slower."

The Pavilion Elder's words were meaningful.

The Supervisor's gaze turned stern, "Really so dangerous?"

The Pavilion Elder did not comment.

The Supervisor said in confusion: "These, you and the Shangguan family, and also the people from Dao Xuan Sect, all say?"

"Not worth it..."

The Pavilion Elder shook his head. He played with the chess pieces on the chessboard boredly, "Even if I say it, they won't believe it. They'll probably still think I'm alarmist, think I have other plans, and instead blame me."

"So I can delay just delay..."

The Pavilion Elder sighed, "I'm old, old and confused. How can I still calculate so fast, calculate so accurately?"

"Then they..."

"Life and death have fate, let it be." The Pavilion Elder said indifferently, then looked at the Supervisor and slowly said, "Moths flying into a fire also won't think they will die."

"Can you stop moths from flying into the fire?"

The Supervisor frowned, "This matter, is the danger really that great?"

The Pavilion Elder silently took back the chess pieces and restored the chessboard, "Chess, not everyone can play. This game, not everyone can play..."

The Supervisor's gaze was grave and he nodded.

The Pavilion Elder's meaning was that this matter involved heavenly mechanisms and was too important. It was better not to wade into this muddy water easily.

But the Supervisor vaguely felt that the Pavilion Elder's words had a double meaning, and were also implying himself.

Complaining that he wasn't suitable to play chess with him.

Clearly, Pavilion Elder, you old man's chess skills are "poor" to the point of being bad...

The Supervisor shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Pavilion Elder, I still don't understand, supposing one really wades into this muddy water, where is the danger?"

The Pavilion Elder's gaze was obscure, and he counter-asked: "Who are we calculating?"

The Supervisor hesitated and said: "Mr. Zhuang?"

"You think, this little one surnamed Zhuang, is so easy to calculate?"

The Supervisor was startled, then frowned and said: "Even if that year was extraordinary, so many years have passed now, his dao foundation is shattered, is he still so thorny?"

The Pavilion Elder laughed coldly, "His great limit has already arrived, the heavenly mechanism is exhausted, and returning to heaven is powerless, otherwise he would absolutely not be at the end of his road, and..."

In the Pavilion Elder's pupils, a trace of gravity flashed.

"The most terrifying, is actually not him, but his senior brother..."

The Supervisor's heart was stern, "You mean, strange..."

The Supervisor held back, still not speaking that name out, and then he shook his head again, "Just a dao heart planted with a demon, it doesn't count as any top level Demon Path inheritance..."

The Pavilion Elder glanced at him, "When, you say a little less big words, I can also save some worry."

The Supervisor was a bit awkward.

The Pavilion Elder sighed, seeming to recall past events. In his deep gaze, a trace of palpitation was hidden:

"That door of theirs, they're all monsters."

"This little one surnamed Zhuang is, his senior brother, naturally also is."

"One thought, two laws, strange heavenly mechanism calculation..."

"Compared to 'calculating', you can't calculate over this little one surnamed Zhuang. As for 'playing', you are even less able to play over his senior brother."

"You calculate the little one surnamed Zhuang, he considers feelings, and won't strike a deadly blow..."

"But his senior brother, just isn't so easy to talk to."

"If you really meet, eight or nine out of ten, you will all be played to death..."

The Pavilion Elder's gaze was obscure.

The Supervisor's expression also gradually grew grave...

In Dali Mountain.

After the heavenly tribulation, the golden light and blood light dissipated together.

The Saint Child's face was full of disbelief:

"My undying talisman... shattered?!"

That little brat surnamed Bai, exchanged one "life" for one "life", and hard destroyed my life destiny undying talisman?!

Who the heck are these people?

Life destiny long life talisman, is that how you're supposed to use it?

This is a long life talisman!

It's one life!

Anger attacked the Saint Child's heart, a mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat, unable to be spit out or swallowed.

The mountain forest was overturned, and the surroundings were a mess.

Bai Zisheng was very regretful that he didn't kill the Saint Child.

He then knew that this damn Saint Child also had a "long life talisman" class life-saving item.

But everyone was the same, no loss, no gain.

Bai Zisheng retreated back to Mo Hua and Bai Zixi's side.

The Saint Child looked at the three with malice, his anger surging, "Damn! You shattered my 'undying talisman', I won't let you go!"

Bai Zisheng snorted coldly, "Your dog legs are all dead, how can you take us?"

Bai Zixi's long life talisman shattered open, and the golden body dharma image killed five Gold Core Demon cultivators.

Bai Zisheng activated his long life talisman. Although he didn't deliberately kill, the dharma image's spiritual energy was powerful. Any Gold Core Demon cultivators swept by it would be crippled if not killed.

The remaining few Demon cultivators were affected by the Saint Child's own "undying talisman" and lost their lives.

More than ten Gold Core Demon cultivators were almost all extinguished.

Only two or three remained, lying on the ground, life and death unknown.

And when Bai Zisheng approached the Saint Child, he detected the spiritual energy fluctuation he transmitted. He was only late stage Foundation Establishment, not yet Gold Core.

Without any Demon Path dog legs, how could he, the Saint Child, do anything alone?

Therefore, Bai Zisheng was leisurely and unafraid, even wanting to curse the Saint Child a few more times.

Mo Hua immediately said: "Quick, leave!"

Bai Zisheng was startled, and immediately understood. Now was indeed not the time to show off his tongue.

Bai Zixi also nodded.

The three looked at each other, just about to move, when they heard the Saint Child's cold laugh:

"Want to leave? Can you leave?"

Before the Saint Child's words fell, the aura in the forest suddenly changed.

Strands of powerful demon qi suddenly descended, falling around the Saint Child.

The demon qi dissipated, revealing all kinds of fierce-looking Demon cultivators.

Moreover, they were clearly all Gold Core Demon cultivators!

They wore the same blood-colored dao robes, like people from the same Demon Gate.

Leading them was an old demon, late stage Gold Core cultivation, with a face full of wrinkles, his body stooped, and he bowed to the Saint Child, saying:

"Old slave's rescue was late, please forgive this Saint Child!"

Dali Mountain was sealed by Demon cultivators.

The huge movement of the dharma images just now also attracted Demon cultivator reinforcements.

More than twenty full Gold Core great Demon cultivators stood behind the Saint Child, only following his lead.

The Saint Child laughed ferociously, then his expression turned cold, and he looked towards Mo Hua and the others:

"Today, none of you can leave!"

"You shattered my undying talisman, I must make you pay the price!"

The Saint Child looked at Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi, and laughed coldly: "Before I gave you Bai family face and let you leave, but you insist on overreaching and opposing me..."

"Now your long life talismans are also shattered, you have no self-protection power, then you are all fish on my chopping block!"

"Let's see how you escape?"

In his gaze, there was anger, hatred, and a trace of obscure greed.

A crowd of demon heads had ferocious expressions, staring greedily.

Aunt Xue bit her teeth, protecting the three children behind her.

But her figure was abnormally thin, and it was hard to hide the despair in her beautiful eyes.

In front of the Gold Core Demon cultivators, Mo Hua also pursed his lips tightly, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

The cultivation difference was too great!

He frowned tightly, just pondering, when he was suddenly startled, slowly turned his head, and looked towards the west side road mouth. His gaze was shocked and trembling, and the hairs on his whole body stood on end.

Bai Zixi detected Mo Hua's abnormality, and also turned her head to look, but the road mouth was empty, desolate, with nothing there.

Seeing this, the Saint Child sneered, just about to say something, when he heard the blood-robed old demon behind him say with a grave expression:

"Saint Child, someone is coming..."

The Saint Child's expression became solemn, his gaze gloomy.

A dead silence surrounded them.

After several more breaths, the other Gold Core Demon cultivators finally detected the abnormality and all turned their heads to look towards the west side road mouth.

The road mouth was empty, with no one there.

Not long after, footsteps could be heard, one heavy and one light, the footsteps seeming one deep and one shallow.

A human figure gradually appeared at the road mouth.

His body was shabby, stained with mud, dirty, his face was stiff, and he wore a dao robe that seemed to have been stripped from a dead person's body and didn't fit!

This chapter is six thousand words, rounded up, it's about equal to me adding more, hehe.
