Chapter 214: Leaving Alone
Chapter 214 - Leaving Alone
Ancient Ruins, in a separate courtyard on the inner side of the bridge's riverbank.
A middle-aged man with a stooped body was half lying amongst the grass and trees, his face and skin all over his body were oozing purple and green colored pus and blood.
"Cough cough...... Lu Chang'an, let the people be spared!"
Real Tan pretended to be calm, but he couldn't help coughing up blood from his mouth, looking unusually weak.
"Since you have already obtained the chance in the relics, why do you need to make a fuss and have to fight with Mister Tan to the death?"
Real Tan's eyes were tightly closed, and purplish-red poisonous blood seeped out from the slits in his eyelids. One could not help but suspect that his eyes had lost their light under the effect of the poison.
It was unimaginable that the previously unrivaled Bullying Realist had fallen to such a state.
"Fight what fight! You look like you're going to die, beat Lu's puppet first."
Lu Changan stood dozens of feet away from the courtyard, simultaneously manipulating three or four puppets, steadily advancing into the courtyard.
These four puppets were all at the top of the second rank to start with, with the highest reaching the top of the second rank.
Among them, there was one heavy armor puppet and one flying puppet.
There were also two bow and arrow puppets in the back row.
This kind of lineup is already capable of fighting with a False Pill Realist in perfect condition.
"You...... are actually able to control so many puppets at the same time?"
Real Tan was horrified, his heart flooded with unprecedented despair.
Only a quasi third-order puppeteer could possibly manipulate so many second-order upper-grade or higher puppets at the same time, achieving an orderly division of labor and flexible play.
Lu Changan's puppetry skills hadn't actually reached the quasi third stage and was still a bit short of the mark, mainly because he didn't have enough opportunities to practice. However, his divine sense is powerful, at least at the False Dan level, and in terms of puppet control, he has reached the level of Quasi Third Order.
Under the attack of the four puppets, Real Tan's hands were in a mess, offering up extremely high-grade magic weapons and striking out some talismans, barely managing to fight.
"Weakened to this extent, he can't even harness a magic treasure."
Lu Chang'an thought darkly.
The strength shown by Realist Tan had fallen to below False Dan Realist across the board, and the activation of his magic power would further exacerbate the outbreak of poisonous power in his body.
If not for a few quasi third-order talismans, including a talismanic treasure, he would have been pushed across by the puppet.
Lu Changan didn't dare to take it lightly and kept his distance, using the puppet as a front line.
"Lu! Chang! An!"
At the last moment, Real Tan violently spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood, his face flushed with a hint of rosy qi.
He opened his bloody purple-black pupils, emitting a powerful spirit pressure at the Pseudo-dan level, almost back to his full strength.
"The secret art of squeezing life?" Lu Chang'an's face changed slightly, and he took out the Turtle Puppet Golem, whose defense was comparable to a quasi-third rank, and blocked it in front of his body.
Boom! The canopy!
Real Tan once again maneuvered the magic ruler and struck all the remaining talismans and talismanic treasures on his body in one breath, instantly destroying the three puppets that were playing the lead role.
Seeing this, Lu Chang'an decisively maneuvered the only remaining flying puppet and blew himself up head on, the ferocious shards of fire covering Real Tan's figure.
Wow!
Real Tan once again spat out blood, the poisonous power in his body erupted, his momentum dropped a few points, and he killed Lu Chang'an with a vengeance.
Even if he couldn't die together, he wanted to kill Lu Chang'an as much as possible, and severely damage the other party's foundation.
"The end of a strong crossbow."
Lu Chang'an's face was unperturbed as he flipped out a treasure talisman engraved with icy frost patterns in the palm of his hand and activated it with his mana.
Hiss!
The madly pouncing Tan Zhenren felt a bone-chilling chill.
Whew! Boom--
In an instant, a vast blue wave of cold, as if a spinning waterfall, engulfed everything within his field of vision.
Real Tan roared in anger, his movements of flying over gradually solidified, his entire body covered in a layer of cold frost.
The dimly lit magic ruler, condensing a layer of blue cold ice, was still a few feet away from Lu Chang'an when it shook down from mid-air.
There was a clear "pop" sound.
"Lu Changan...... you shrinking turtle......"
Tan Zhenran's body was frozen, his divine sense transmitting the sound, letting out the last voice, revealing extreme suffocation and unwillingness.
Until his dying day, he didn't even touch the corner of Lu Changan's coat.
Ka-ching!
The frozen body of the real person crashed to the ground like a broken porcelain.
......
In front of the hexagonal palace building.
Shi Manrong couldn't help but shiver and look in the direction of the bridge's riverbank.
"Lu Chang'an......"
At this moment, she felt a fluctuation of True Dan level mana that was appalling and a heartbeat of fear.
Restricted by the distance of her Divine Sense, she couldn't see the distant fight very clearly.
After a few moments.
The familiar young figure flew back unhurriedly.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, is it still smooth?"
Shi Manrong let out a long sigh of relief and looked towards the unharmed Lu Changan.
"It's solved!"
Lu Chang'an smiled and celebrated,
"It's fortunate that Real Tan was severely poisoned and could only explode into a full-strength attack of one or two strikes. Otherwise, a talisman of the lower third rank might not have been able to take his life."
Not long ago, Lu Chang'an had utilized a treasure talisman of cold ice spells that had been cultivated for decades.
That precious talisman was made from the earliest batch of second-order top-grade spirit wood, and its spirituality and power broke the limits of the material, comparable to a third-order lower-grade talisman.
The art of treasure talisman, using talisman to contain treasure, is nearly lost in the talisman industry.
Lu Chang'an inherited his previous life's heritage, and started scheming since he had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage.
With the characteristics of Evergreen magic power, decades of unremitting daily cultivation, now quite effective.
The only regret of killing Real Tan is that due to the intensity of the battle, the storage bag on his body burst open, destroying most of his items.
Luckily, the highest-value Wu Ruler treasure was only slightly damaged. In addition, there is also a superb defensive magic weapon and several quasi third-order ore materials that are relatively intact.
Unlike Real Hu, who had previously been killed by Lu Changan with a single blow, the loot in his storage bag was intact.
Lu Changan secretly said: it's better to be a senior six, minimize battle losses, higher gains.
......
"Oo...... so cold!"
Seemingly affected by the spell's cold wave, the pale-faced Wei girl, gradually came to her senses.
"Elder Lu, it was you who saved me?"
Miss Wei endured the pain of her injuries and soon realized that she had been planted with a ban, and said with a forced smile.
To her horror, there were no other cultivators here besides Lu Changan and Fairy Shi.
The cold tide in the distance, emanating residual power, made Miss Wei panic.
"Real Tan......"
"In the ancient ruins today, only the three of us are left."
Lu Chang'an's reply confirmed Miss Wei's guess.
If any other Foundation Establishment cultivator had done this, she would have been shocked.
But for the mysterious existence that her Master had once mentioned, Miss Wei accepted it as a matter of course.
"Elder Lu left me alive, I wonder what my orders are?"
Miss Wei said respectfully.
"Mister Lu has something to ask you."
Lu Chang'an was satisfied with her sense of humor and didn't have to go through all the trouble.
"Elder Lu please ask, I will answer anything I know."
Miss Wei did not bargain.
"This ancient relic, other than the few of you who know about it, has there been any leakage of information?"
This was not only Lu Chang'an's concern, but Fairy Shi was even more important.
Because, there were still some unexplored areas in the ruins, and many of the remnants of the formations and prohibitions in them would be a great source of reference and inspiration for Shi Manrong.
"By and large, no news has leaked out, but my daughter is not ten percent sure."
Miss Wei paused and began to state the reason.
According to her description, Real Tan was a traitor of the Leaving Fire Palace and was wanted by the sect, paying a small price and using up his third-ranked talisman to save his life before he absconded into the Black Mist Mountain Range.
In a fit of rage, Tan Zhen Zhen was ready to join the demonic sect, and after a few twists and turns, he contacted Miss Wei.
As one of Liang Shaotian's personal disciples, Ms. Wei's ability to lead a powerful clan real person to the Devil Sect is no small feat.
On the way, the two of them found Real Hu and two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The ancient ruins, which the two Foundation cultivators had inadvertently crashed through during their pursuit, alerted Real Hu, who was laying down formations in the surrounding area to hunt demons.
The high nosed young man at the peak of Foundation Establishment is the law enforcement cultivator of the Liuyun Sect in the northern border of Liang.
It so happened that Real Tan and Real Hu knew each other before, and after discovering the relics, they took control of the Foundation Establishment cultivators present and blocked off the scene at the first time.
During this time, the two real people did not allow other cultivators to leave, eliminating all means of communication with the outside world.
"When I first discovered this relic, I didn't care about it, thinking that it was the chance left behind by a certain third-order array master, or a True Dan power. I didn't realize that the difficulty of attacking this relic was so great, and it seems to have been explored by previous generations......."
Miss Wei explained the causes and consequences one by one.
Lu Chang'an and Fairy Master looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
It was only a matter of time before the ancient ruins were exposed.
Although, the two real people had put an end to the transmission of news, the matter involved a somewhat large number of characters and their origins were not small.
Realist Tan and the high-nosed peak Foundation Establishment man came from the number one and number two Immortal Cultivation Clans in Liang.
Miss Wei is also from the Demon Sect and is Liang Shaotian's personal disciple.
Besides human cultivators, this place is located in the interior of the Black Mist Mountain Range, and there are many demonic beasts around.
In this place, several waves of human cultivators have come and fought before, which may have attracted the attention of a few intelligent demonic beasts.
"By the way, my daughter in the devil sect's clan altar, left a 'soul lamp' that has the ability to sense the location. If I were to die, my family master or elder brother, would be able to lock onto a general area."
"This statement from my daughter is not a threat to senior. Rather, if this situation occurs, my master will definitely send someone to investigate, and it will also expose the situation of this relic." Miss Wei carefully said.
Lu Changan's face did not see any joy or anger as he said, "Considering that you have been good and cooperative, Mister Lu will leave you a way out."
"Thank you senior for your grace, no matter how it is disposed of, my little girl is at the mercy of the arrangements."
Miss Wei bowed her head in obeisance.
Shi Manrong eyes flashed a trace of surprise, this Wei girl as a generation of devil Liang Shaotian's female disciple, the first encounter with a cold and arrogant temperament, how now a little bit of pride are not.
She called Lu Chang'an senior, and she was very nice and sweet.
"Fairy Shifu and I got a chance in the relics and don't want outsiders to know more specific news. You let go of your sea of consciousness and let Mister Lu erase the memories of recent days."
Lu Chang'an said without any doubt.
If the target takes the initiative to cooperate, it is not difficult to accurately erase a section of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's recent memories with a False Pill level of Divine Sense.
"Senior Lu, please make your move."
Without hesitation, Miss Wei closed her eyes.
Lu Chang'an stretched out his index finger and pointed it on Miss Wei's forehead, performing the secret art of the Sea of Sense from his previous life.
Erasing memories is easier than restoring them, especially recent memories that are at a shallow level.
If it's more distant memories, many of them are sunk in the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, and it's more than ten times more difficult to erase them accurately.
Unless it's a violent erasure that damages the sea of consciousness and turns the target into an idiot.
After a few moments, Lu Chang'an withdrew his finger, his divine sense had been consumed quite a bit.
Miss Wei's forehead was drenched in sweat, her dress almost soaked through, and she fainted once during this period.
"For the sake of Liang Shaotian, Mister Lu leaves you alive."
Lu Changan stood with his arms folded and said indifferently.
"I...... am...... here."
Miss Wei was stunned in place for a moment, looking around.
At this time, she only vaguely recalled that two or three months ago, outside the ancient ruins, she had an encounter with the duo of Lu Chang'an.
After that, what happened when they entered the ruins again, her mind was blank.
Lu Chang'an's ability to precisely erase the range of memories was only so far. Many memories from further afield have been deposited in the depths of the sea of consciousness.
Anyway, the ancient ruins will be exposed sooner or later, as long as we don't let Miss Wei return to the Demon Sect too soon.
Lu Changan didn't bother to explain and gave Fairy Shi a wink.
......
Lu Changan didn't bother to explain.
Led by the Master Fairy, the three of them returned to the entrance of the passageway where the Ancient Ruins returned to the ground.
Lu Chang'an stood at the entrance of the passageway, while Master Fairy and Miss Wei stood on the other side of the ruins.
Miss Wei's injuries were so severe that she wouldn't be able to recover without a year and a half. Now, Fairy Shifu has planted a restriction on her body and is helping her out in the ruins.
"Fairy Shifu, although there are still some opportunities here, you can't stay for too long."
Lu Chang'an cautioned.
It turned out that Fairy Shifu was planning to stay in the ancient ruins for another two months in order to achieve the third rank of Formation Master as soon as possible, so she could study the Formation Restrictions of this place.
The Formation Inheritance Jade Cylinder that Fairy Shifu obtained in the treasury space is of the same lineage as many of the Formation Restrictions in the ruins.
It was a third-order top tier, even quasi-fourth-order formation inheritance.
Fairy Shifu was very satisfied with this formation inheritance and even made a copy for Lu Changan.
It was the first time Lu Chang'an had received a formation inheritance of this level in his three lives, and it was considered invaluable.
A few days ago.
Lu Chang'an and Shi Manrong were in the already explored area, trying to find other tokens and were unsuccessful.
Real Hu's token, which was swallowed by the Ancient Remnant Formation or recycled by Cheerful Earth, was also not found.
Lu Changan decided to leave the ruins as soon as possible to prevent a long night's sleep.
In Liang, he still has one last thing left to do in his plan, which is to prepare for the completion of his dan.
Find Zhang Tieshan to trade the secret method of pills.
Before traveling to the ancient ruins, Lu Chang'an was mentally prepared for failure.
The secret method of transforming pills is an important record, if you can repeat the "transforming pills back into liquid" training, the quality of the pills will theoretically have a very high increase in the upper limit.
Once this is done, Lu Chang'an can start making preparations to leave the Liang Immortal Cultivation Realm, which is caught in the middle of a war. "Fellow Daoist Lu, don't worry, when I become a third-ranked array master, along with my knowledge of this relic. Even if a True Dan cultivator comes in person, he won't be able to do anything to my concubine."
Shi Manrong said with a smile, her tone revealing a powerful confidence.
"Fairy Shi, please take care, Mister Lu will leave first."
Lu Chang'an smiled warmly, and with a final solemn bow, he turned around and entered the passageway back to the ground.
"Fellow Daoist Lu be careful on the road."
Shi Manrong's heart was strange, and she returned the salute with an obeisance.
Due to the fact that they were too familiar with each other, there was seldom such formal etiquette when saying goodbye between the two of them.
What's more, in a few months at most, Shi Manrong will be able to return to Wu Qi Mountain.
He saw Lu Changan's back as he left alone.
Shi Manrong's eyebrows were knitted, her face was in thought, and she had a feeling of foreboding in her heart that she couldn't explain.
Even though she has a vague sense of it, she can't predict it at all.
This time, it will be a change in the world.
