North of Yandingfu City.

It was already late at night when I got the news. When I set off two hours later, the sky was about to turn white. I hurriedly came to see Lord Kongchen in the early morning.

Several disciples also brought incense tables to burn incense, just like burning incense in the temple early in the morning.

In the bamboo forest in the north of the city in the early morning, Taoist Lingxu, who was hurried out of the city, stepped on the rotten leaves in the bamboo forest while giving instructions to Taoist Lingwu and several disciples beside him.

"Don't say anything for a moment, just follow me."

The bamboo leaves swayed in the morning breeze, making a rustling sound.

After walking a mile further, I could faintly hear the gurgling sound of the mountain stream.

Passing through the mottled and deep bamboo shadows, you can see an elegant bamboo house beside the stream, with a stone table and four stone benches outside.

After staying in Yanding Mansion for so long, this is the first time Taoist Lingxu has known such an elegant place. Coupled with the light mist and flowing water in the early morning, it feels like an immortal should live in such a place.

"Si Tianjian Lingxu, pays homage to Taoist Lord Kongchen."

The disciples hurriedly set up an incense table, offered incense, and knelt on the ground together.

Taoist Lingxu continued respectfully: "I have the courage to come to trouble the immortal this time because I have no choice."

Taoist Lingxu described in detail the sincerity of the emperor's intention to visit the immortals in the south, and then talked about the crisis situation in which the leader of the Five God Lords, Xuanzhu Huodezhenjun, was plotting a big conspiracy in the capital.

After speaking, he kowtowed to the end with his disciple: "If something unexpected happens to the Emperor, the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely be in turmoil, and it will definitely be a catastrophe."

"Si Tianjian is weak and weak, so he came to ask the immortal for guidance."

After waiting for a long time, the door of the bamboo forest house finally opened.

"Squeak!"

When the door opened, there was no sign of the immortal.

Instead, two girls were sitting on a long table in the house, looking outside with smiles.

One of them was holding a big red lantern, and the other was barefoot, with his hands back on the table and his feet forward with his cute and cute toes raised.

The girl holding the lantern covered her mouth and smiled: "It's so touching, but it's a pity that the immortal is not here!"

The other girl responded playfully: "He's not here!"

Taoist Lingxu could tell at a glance that these two people were definitely not human beings.

But a demon.

The old Taoist priest suddenly felt a coldness on his back and the hairs on his hair stood up.

"not good!"

"We've fallen into a trap."

Taoist Lingxu shouted loudly, turned around to greet his disciples, and tried to escape.

Unexpectedly, what greeted him was a sword from behind.

Taoist Lingwu drew out the iron sword on his back and cut off Taoist Lingxu's hand that was grabbing at the corner of his clothes and trying to run away with him.

"Whoops!" The sharp weapon passed by at high speed, causing the sound of breaking wind.

Taoist Lingxu's eyes widened and he looked at his junior brother Lingwu in disbelief. This honest and tall Taoist priest whom he single-handedly raised, his eyes were full of determination at this moment.

Blood splashed and the broken palm fell to the ground.

The white jade peach blossom petals embedded in the vest instantly turned into black, and then disappeared into ashes bit by bit.

This means that Taoist Lingxu's most powerful ability and means have been abolished, and there is no way to escape.

Taoist Lingxu screamed, backed up, and leaned on the stone table on the side of the bamboo house.

But he immediately gritted his teeth and held back, looking at the several disciples and junior brothers who were surrounding him.

"Lingwu! How many of you are there?"

"It turns out...hahahaha..."

Only then did Taoist Lingxu react. He covered his old face with his other hand and laughed under his palm. Tears of laughter flowed out from the gap in his palm.

"It turns out it's not the demon who wants my life! It's you who wants my life."

Taoist Lingxu put down his palm, his eyes became extremely sharp: "Why?"

"Ah! Lingwu?"

Taoist Lingwu stepped forward.

As he got closer, his eyeballs were covered with heavy spider silk, as if covered with a layer of white gauze, looking terrifying and eerie.

What's even more terrifying is that eyes appear on his face, neck, and chest at the same time.

They look exactly like insect eyes.

"Because mortals are too weak. Si Tianjian and your belief cannot save the world, nor can it protect the world."

"Demonization!" Taoist Lingxu, as a disciple of Si Tianjian, certainly understands what this is.

"No wonder you don't dare to use the Taomu Magic Sword. Don't you know the price? Not only will your body be transformed into a demon, but your mind will also become a demon."

While speaking, Taoist Lingxu faintly grasped the hilt of the sword with his other hand.

Junior brother Lingwu has already stood in front of Taoist Lingxu: "Is there anything else in this world? Can you get it without paying a price?"

"You know the price of shit! The price was paid by us. It was earned through the deaths of generations of Si Tianjian disciples."

Taoist Lingxu spoke angrily, and before he finished speaking, he drew his sword.

But instead of facing Lingwu, he jumped up and stabbed towards the two women in the room.

The Taomu evil spirit surged out from the magic sword and turned into a black evil light, heading towards the two.

The girl holding the lantern lifted the lantern. What was burning in the lantern was not fire, but an insect. A sharp cry dispersed the sword evil spirit.

Another girl stretched out her hand, and the spider silk from her palm rushed out like a white thread, instantly knocking Taoist Lingxu backwards and flying away, and the magic sword in her hand also flew more than ten meters away.

Then he smashed the stone table over and nailed it to the stone table.

And those spider threads were like living creatures, drilling into his body along his mouth, nose, eyes, and wounds.

Taoist Lingxu howled in pain and struggled.

Even if I grab my own throat, I can't stop it.

The two girls stood up together, even their movements were exactly the same.

"He has already eaten the golden silk poison. He will turn into a poisonous puppet in just one stick of incense."

"Time is running out, what's left are the last words between you senior brothers?"

"After all, we sisters are not unkind people."

"Hahahaha!"

One person said something, and they all said it to Taoist Lingwu.

Taoist Lingwu grabbed the blood-stained iron sword and came to Taoist Lingxu.

Taoist Lingxu already knew his ending, and said with a sad smile: "Do you remember what we all said in front of Taoyuan Mausoleum when we first entered?"

"Enter our Tianjian Gate! Eliminate demons and defend the Way! Guard the world!"

"I did it!"

"Lingwu! What about you?"

Taoist Lingxu leaned on the broken stone table, looking up at Lingwu with a smile.

That smile was kind and warm, but Taoist Lingwu felt as if he had been struck by lightning for a moment.

Taking advantage of the moment when Taoist Lingwu lost his mind, Taoist Lingxu pounced forward and wiped his neck with Lingwu's sword.

Taoist Lingwu wanted to stop, but by this time it was already too late. He only saw blood gushing out of Taoist Lingxu's neck like a spring. He whimpered a few times and then lost his breath.

It turned into a corpse and lay at his feet.

Taoist Lingwu suddenly collapsed to the ground and looked at the iron sword in his hand, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

It was thrown to the ground all of a sudden.

At this time, the demon twin girls also turned into a shadow and stood in front of the body of Taoist Lingxu. The smile on their faces turned cold in an instant.

"What a waste! You can't stop him even though he's so close?" the girl holding the lantern said.

"There is no other way, you can only do it yourself." The barefoot girl said.

Taoist Lingwu panted violently, and after a long time he calmed down, his face stabilized slightly, and he raised his hands and said to the two girls.

"Two distinguished envoys, please rest assured!"

"I will definitely do it. When I get back, I will take Lingxu's seal to pay homage to the governor of Yanding Mansion. Together, I will report to the imperial court that the immortals are waiting for the emperor at the Immortal Temple in Yanding Mansion and have decided to grant the emperor the elixir of immortality."

The Gemini girl turned around coldly: "You only have one chance, don't miss it again."

The twin girls disappeared into the bamboo forest. The other people just covered the body with haystacks and hurried back to the Si Tianjian Office.
