Chapter 1949 A sudden fork in the road
"If you have any doubts, you can let us try first."
Sima Lei immediately suggested.
"Hmm, you want to try?"
The Five Immortals Patriarch snorted coldly and asked with a warning in his eyes.
"It is natural for you to choose who will take the test. I have no objection to whoever it is. I just ask you to pay attention to the number of people."
Even if Sima Lei wanted to sneak away, he would not choose such an obvious method and made his attitude clear immediately.
The Five Immortals' gaze relaxed slightly upon hearing this, and then he looked at everyone present.
In order to refine the blue poisonous spirit, he has used up all of his poison cultivators' Nascent Souls. Adding the five he originally had, that means a total of six poisonous spirits, six quotas.
Daluo monks are useful in obtaining treasures, so naturally they all have to be included. Including him, they will take up four places.
The remaining two.
The Five Immortals Patriarch glanced at Marquis Zi Yang who was asking about Qian Ye's well-being, and immediately made a decision in his mind.
"Well, just take them both with you.
Although this guy is not very capable, he is still loyal and reliable to work with.
Just a candidate for this test."
The Five Immortals' old ancestor glanced at Master Zhaogu, King Jinxi, and Sima Lei, and then said:
"Golden Rhino, you have thick skin and tough flesh, so I'll trouble you to run for a while.
After the matter is accomplished, I promise to help you take back the territory of the Ten Suffering Mountains."
"This is true!"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Rhino King had been secretly groaning, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, his eyes lit up and he asked with an ecstatic look.
"I always keep my word, and this matter is not difficult. What do you have to doubt?"
The Five Immortals Patriarch spoke in a heavy tone, as if he was dissatisfied.
"No doubt! Jin would never dare to doubt the promise of fellow Taoist Wuxian!"
The Golden Rhino King immediately expressed his attitude. He also felt that there was no need for the Five Immortal Ancestors to deceive him because this matter was too simple for him.
After all, the Daluo monsters around his territory all have similar cultivation levels to him, and the strongest among them is the black weasel.
If the Five Immortal Ancestors were willing to step forward, even without taking action, Black Weasel and the others would most likely be forced to give up his territory intact under pressure!
Of course, it would be best if the Five Immortal Ancestors could help the Golden Rhino King kill the Black Weasel King directly.
In this way, he can not only avenge his great hatred, but also take over the fat piece of meat of Black Weasel City!
As for the original dojo, Jinguanling, its function was to slightly improve his cultivation of the Golden Body of Demon Luo, which was a preparation for him to advance to the middle stage of Daluo.
But for the Golden Rhino King whose path to immortality has been cut off, this is no longer meaningful, so it would be better not to have it.
However, King Golden Rhino also knew that now was not the time to bargain. It would be most appropriate to wait until the Five Immortal Ancestors obtained that first-grade strange poison!
"Fellow Daoist Sima, how confident are you?"
Although the Golden Rhino King was extremely tempted, he was also well aware of the danger involved, and immediately asked Sima Lei with a serious expression.
“The inheritance is very convincing, saying that if you use this poisonous spirit robe to escape to the bottom of the cliff, you won’t encounter any danger at all.
But I haven’t tried it, so I can’t tell whether it’s true or not.”
Sima Lei told the truth.
"In other words, Jin has to bet whether your inheritance is a trap?
Haha, let’s gamble. Jin doesn’t believe that I can lose again and again! "
The Golden Rhino King thought that he had reached the bottom of the valley, and there was no other way to get what he wanted except to fight with all his might.
So, without much hesitation, he accepted the task of exploring the path.
"Okay, Fellow Daoist Jinxi, please keep this talisman. If you succeed in reaching the bottom of the cliff, please activate it immediately."
The Five Immortals Patriarch was very satisfied when he heard this.
To him, Qianye and Ziyang Hou were both his own people, and their cultivation was insufficient, so they were not suitable to explore the way.
Sima Lei and Master Zhaogu both needed that rare poison, so he couldn't feel at ease letting them explore the way.
Only the Golden Rhino King was invited by Sima Lei under other conditions. He had the least desire for that rare poison and was the most suitable candidate.
In addition, the Five Immortals were also experienced and knew that if there was something mysterious at the bottom of the cliff, the Golden Rhino King would probably not be able to return the same way.
So, after he finished speaking, he threw out a copper-green talisman and the poisonous spirit robe together.
"Jin understands, so let's go now."
After taking the talisman, the Golden Rhino King immediately put on the poisonous spirit robe, and then flew up along the sand waterfall and fled straight down the cliff!
Then everyone waited for news from the Golden Rhino King, but the Five Immortals Ancestor was not idle either. He waved towards Marquis Zi Yang, and the Five Immortals Poison Spirits flew out from his palm and circled around the Five Immortals Ancestor.
Upon seeing this, Marquis Zi Yang couldn't help but see a trace of regret in his eyes. These Five Immortals Poison Spirits were refined by the Five Immortals Ancestor in his early years and are no longer of any use now. However, to him, they are first-class treasures.
Originally according to the temper of the Five Immortals Ancestor, as long as he performed well this time, the Five Immortals Poison Spirits would definitely reward him afterwards.
For this, Marquis Zi Yang was secretly delighted for a long time, but now his expectations were dashed.
After a stick of incense, the Five Immortals Patriarch imitated Sima Lei's secret technique and simultaneously refined the Five Immortals' poisonous spirits into poisonous spirit clothes.
Unlike everyone else who was concerned about when the Golden Rhino King would send back news, Luo Hong was only interested in the poisonous spirit and the poisonous spirit robe from beginning to end.
After all, the materials for refining poisonous spirits came up from the bottom of the Cliff of Unfeeling, so theoretically, it wouldn't be difficult to go down again.
But there are only six pieces of Poison Spirit Robes in total, and there are definitely not enough to go around with so many people present.
Luo Hong didn't think that the Five Immortals would choose him to go with them, so he had to find a way to be self-reliant.
The simplest way, of course, was for Luo Hong to use the Primordial Divine Eyes on a piece of poisonous spirit clothing, and then wait for the six Five Immortal Ancestors to go down first, and then he would follow up with the poisonous spirit clothing created by creation.
Although no aura leaked out when he used the Primordial Divine Eyes, his eyes emitted white light, and any fool could tell that there was something wrong with him!
“We must think of a way to attract their attention. Hey, I got it.
It just so happens that I need to do a final exploration of the location of the Primordial Power."
Luo Hong's eyes turned and he had a plan in mind.
As his divine thoughts moved, the primordial force in an unknown place revealed its power and devoured everything around it.
This destructive act naturally caused a strong reaction from the surrounding prohibitions. Immediately, the Cliff of Unfeeling began to shake slightly, and the gray sand sea immediately became turbulent.
The Five Immortals and others naturally did not suspect Luo Hong when they saw this. They all thought that it was the Golden Rhino King who made the noise, and immediately they all focused their eyes on the cliff below.
Luo Hong took this opportunity to use the Primordial Divine Eyes to analyze the poisonous spiritual robe on the back of the Five Immortals Ancestor.
This thing was not complicated. Luo Hong only took half an incense stick of time to complete the task.
Then, Luo Hong's mind moved again, and the primordial force stopped.
The shaking of the Jueqing Cliff continued for a few breaths before it completely calmed down.
The Five Immortals Patriarch frowned, feeling that this strange phenomenon was a little strange.
After all, if the Golden Rhino King encountered an accident, the noise caused by his spellcasting would certainly be quite loud, and he would be able to see some of it immediately.
And if there is no accident, and the strange phenomenon is caused by the opening of a portal to a secret realm, then he should activate the talisman immediately.
As a result, neither of the two situations happened.
But just when he was about to ask Sima Lei, another copper-green talisman in his hand spontaneously combusted without fire, and finally left a green word "可" in the air.
"Just one word has exhausted all my talismans. The power of the law at the bottom of the cliff is indeed terrifyingly strong!"
The Five Immortals Patriarch was well aware of the power of his talismans, so much so that after they were verified by the Golden Rhino King, he became even more cautious.
However, at this point, it is impossible not to go down and take a look.
Therefore, the Five Immortals Patriarch quickly gave the two Poison Spirit Clothes to Qianye and Ziyang Hou, and instructed:
"You two should go down with me, and remember not to act recklessly!"
"Yes, Master!"
"Yes, ancestor!"
Song Yaoguang and Zi Yang Hou responded in unison.
"Fellow Daoist Sima, this is for you."
Nodding slightly, the Five Immortals Patriarch threw a piece of poisonous spirit clothing to Sima Lei.
Then, he made another spell with his fingers, causing the Desire Water Green Spirit Toad that was suppressing Master Zhaogu to shrink instantly and turn into a tattoo on Master Zhaogu's back.
"Don't wake up yet!"
Following the loud shout from the Five Immortals Patriarch, Zhenren Zhaogu suddenly opened his eyes, and a gray light flashed on his body. Those bronze-like rotten sores disappeared, but his face did not look any better.
"Fellow Taoist Wuxian, what do you want?"
Although the poison on his arm had been driven out, the threat behind him was a hundred times greater than before. Master Zhaogu knew that his situation was still quite bad.
"Not so good? It's just that Fellow Daoist Sima said that to obtain the treasure, we need the combined efforts of several Daluo, so I spared your life.
To repay the favor of not killing me, could you please do me a favor?"
The Five Immortals Patriarch threatened in a bad tone.
"Of course I am ashamed of my ability compared to Fellow Daoist Wuxian, but if I abandon this physical body and use the power of the Great Dao to escape to the Nascent Soul, Fellow Daoist may not be able to stop me."
Zhenren Zhaogu's aura was not much weaker.
"Haha, your White Bone Path is one of the laws of heaven and earth that values one's own skin the most. If you are really cruel enough to do this, then please do as you please."
The Five Immortals Patriarch laughed, exposed Master Zhaogu's bargaining chip, and directly extended his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
Zhenren Zhaogu's face twitched twice, and then as if nothing had happened before, he took the poisonous spirit robe in front of him and put it on, imitating the Five Immortals and others.
"I'll help you this time, and the previous accounts will be written off!"
"As long as it's done, everything will be fine."
The Five Immortals Patriarch did not necessarily want to kill Master Zhaogu, because as he said, if he really disregarded everything and just wanted to escape with his Nascent Soul, there was a good chance that he would escape.
Once he loses his physical body, he will basically be unable to continue on the road of bones. This is definitely a feud that will not end until one of his lives is over.
Although the Five Immortals Patriarch himself is not afraid, he has a family and a business, so he still has to think more before doing things.
At the same time, Luo Hong was also communicating with Song Yaoguang:
"Yaoguang, you go first, I will find a way to follow you.
Don't do anything on your own before Mo arrives."
"I see."
Song Yaoguang responded immediately.
"You three."
After dealing with Master Zhaogu, the Five Immortals turned around and looked at Luo Hong and the other two.
"Senior, what are your orders?"
Led by Zhu Yan, the three of them immediately saluted respectfully.
"Don't think that I don't know that you have memorized the secret technique. Are you planning to slaughter poison cultivators from other places and refine a few more poison spirits?"
The Five Immortals Patriarch snorted coldly and said with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Senior, you will definitely succeed immediately. Even if I want to take advantage of the opportunity, there is nothing to be found. Why would I bother?"
Zhu Yan immediately said that he and others did not have such an idea.
“Since there isn’t any, then I will seal this Cliff of Unfeeling again. Anyway, when the time limit is reached, you will be teleported out of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
Before that, you should just retreat and practice."
After saying this, the Five Immortals Patriarch did not give the three people time to react, and waved his hand to cast a spell, causing the green light gate to slowly close.
After seeing it completely closed, the Five Immortals nodded in satisfaction, then called everyone and fled down the cliff together.
All of a sudden, Luo Hong and three others were the only ones left in Jueqing Cliff.
"Humph! This is too much! We are his subjects after all, and he actually locked us up!"
The flower snake was the most impatient. It only waited for half an incense stick of time before speaking indignantly.
"The Daluo realm is a world of difference. He has the power to make arrangements, and we must abide by them."
Zhu Yan should be much more open-minded. He just thinks that he is not strong enough and cannot blame others.
"Comply? I don't want to stay here like this. Otherwise, how are we going to explain to His Highness after we get out?
When the time comes, when His Highness asks us what the situation is at the bottom of the Cliff of Unfeeling, or what that first-grade strange poison looks like, how should we answer?
Especially Zhaogu, he is not a poison practitioner, and he certainly did not take poison for cultivation. If we don't find out his purpose, we will be sorry for the cultivation of His Highness!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Hong sneered and spoke in Zihe's voice.
"How could we not know this? But how could we set foot in a place where even the Great Luo monks have to rely on external objects to go down!"
Huashe immediately said unhappily that if there was a way, he would have followed long ago!
"Do you sisters have any ideas?"
Zhu Yan heard the implication of the words and asked with a look of surprise on his face.
"It's just a few poisonous spirits. There are poisonous spirits in the outside world. His Highness once asked me to prepare three in advance. Now we have one each."
Just now, Luo Hong imagined the possibility of capturing these two people here.
But after just a little consideration, he chose to give up.
It wasn't because he didn't have the confidence to defeat them, but if he went alone, it would be too conspicuous.
As for the reason he made up, as long as he insisted that it was Shi Zhanfeng's private order, the two of them would not be able to refute it.
Moreover, in their perception, the two beauties Ziqing were the most loyal to Shi Zhanfeng among the three of them, so their eyes lit up when they heard that.
"Your Highness actually has such an arrangement, it's really amazing!"
Zhu Yan exclaimed.
"It seems that Zhaogu's little trick did not escape the eyes of His Majesty. This is going to be interesting."
The flower snake also became eager to try.
