Chapter 1873 In dire straits, only war can save lives!
Master Lingxu pondered for a long while after hearing this, and then said:
"If the Crimson Flame Fox is indeed on its way, we need to meet it here, but we can't just wait idly. This stone platform is quite mysterious. Its residual Yin energy is harmless to our cultivation techniques, and may even be beneficial, but it clearly restrains the Buddhist energy of the Silent Zen Temple."
"Perhaps we can use this to set up a trap or a temporary shelter. If we can reunite with Crimson Fox, the three of us working together will have the power to fight back as long as we don't encounter a large number of enemies."
He paused, then looked at the Blue-Faced Fox: "Blue-Faced Fox, could you try to resonate or merge your purification and life force with the residual Yin energy on this stone platform? If you can enhance the purification and repulsion field here, it will greatly benefit our defense."
The blue-faced fox walked to the edge of the stone cave, sensing the cool aura permeating the valley outside. After a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "It's worth a try. My green wood spiritual power is inherently inclined towards life and purification, which does not conflict with the cool and calming attributes of Taiyin."
"If a suitable resonance point can be found, a kind of life moonlight field may be formed, which should have a stronger effect on restraining evil spirits."
Master Lingxu immediately perked up: "Good! Let's get started right away!"
“I will be responsible for maintaining the concealment and early warning of the entrance, and for trying to further activate the protective properties of the remaining array on the stone platform. You will try the resonance fusion.”
The two had a clear division of labor and immediately got to work.
Master Lingxu took out several small array flags and set up more sophisticated early warning and illusion arrays at the entrance of the stone cave and the crack connecting the valley.
At the same time, he once again slowly injected the power of the moon into the rock wall, carefully communicating with the core of the broken stone platform array outside through the previously established connection, trying to guide the radiant moonlight emanating from it to gather more towards the entrance of the valley and the rock wall area where they were hiding.
This forms an invisible purifying barrier against the power of Buddha's evil influence.
The blue-faced fox sat cross-legged, its hands forming a mudra, and the blue fox pattern between its brows shone with a soft blue-green light.
She didn't directly use too much spiritual power, but instead transformed her pure life intent and understanding of the purification law into warm, vibrant spiritual tendrils, gently reaching towards the stone platform.
At first, the two were clearly distinct: one was warm and vibrant, the other was serene and aloof.
But the Green-Faced Fox was extremely patient. She did not force the fusion, but rather let her life force naturally permeate the rhythm of the Yin energy, like a stream flowing into a deep pool or moonlight falling on the forest, seeking the common path that nourishes all things and cleanses impurities.
Time passed little by little.
In the valley, the silvery-white glow emanating from the stone platform seemed to become softer and more vibrant, no longer merely cold and aloof, but also imbued with a sense of moist vitality.
The area covered by the clear light expanded slightly, especially towards the valley entrance and the rock wall where Master Lingxu and the others were hiding. The purification field there was noticeably stronger, and even the approaching gray mist was silently dispersed further away.
Lingxu Zhenren sensed the change and was secretly delighted.
The Blue-Faced Fox's expertise in the ways of life and purification is indeed extraordinary.
However, at that moment...
From the direction of the valley entrance, the Mirror of Truth suddenly burst forth with a dazzling dark golden light without warning!
Then, with a soft "crack," the mirror shattered on its own!
"Not good! The Truth-Seeking Mirror has self-destructed its communication! They've detected something amiss, and they've likely already located this area and are on their way!" Master Lingxu's expression changed.
Almost at the same moment the Mirror of Truth shattered, he and the Green-Faced Fox simultaneously sensed at least four or five powerful auras rapidly approaching the valley from two different directions!
One of the auras was obscure and profound, far surpassing the previous ones, giving him a strong sense of danger!
"There are two Nascent Soul stage experts!" Master Lingxu spoke rapidly. "Azure-faced Fox, prepare to engage! We might not be able to wait for Crimson Flame Fox!"
The blue-faced fox immediately stopped his cultivation and stood up, his body regaining its azure-green light. His eyes were solemn and resolute: "Senior, the energy field here has been strengthened, which is advantageous to us. Should we fight or retreat?"
Master Lingxu's gaze swept across the valley's terrain, then he sensed the rapidly approaching enemy; his eyes were sharp as knives.
"Run? The enemy came prepared and is extremely fast. If we flee now, we'll likely be caught and surrounded in the open. We should take advantage of the terrain and strike them head-on! Catch them off guard, then find a chance to escape!"
"The stone platform area has the strongest Yin energy and the most powerful restraint, making it the center of the battlefield. Green-faced Fox, you will use your purification power to assist and weaken their Buddhist aura."
I'll take the lead, trying to kill or severely injure the strongest one first! The rest of you, use the terrain and the area to your advantage!
"Alright!" the Green-Faced Fox replied without hesitation.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the resolute determination in each other's eyes.
In dire straits, the only way to survive is through battle!
They no longer hid; in a flash, they rushed out of the cave and landed in the center of the valley, beside the broken silver stone platform.
The blue-faced fox stood to one side of the stone platform, her hands pressed down in a gesture of respect. A rich, azure light spread out from her like a tide, intertwining and merging with the silvery-white glow of the stone platform to form a light domain that stretched for dozens of feet.
Within the realm of light, there was a vibrant life force and a serene sense of purification, which strongly repelled and dissolved all evil, chaos, and malevolent energy.
Lingxu Zhenren stood before the stone platform, his moon-white Daoist robe fluttering without wind, his body surging with the power of moonlight, transforming into clear and cold, refined moonlight sword energy, which slowly rotated and gathered power in front of him.
In his hand, he had already grasped three meteorite-breaking shuttles that were neither gold nor jade, and whose surfaces were covered with star-like cracks.
This is a secret treasure he forged by mixing the power of the moon with the meteorite iron from the void. It is designed to break through all kinds of protective evil energy and evil techniques. It is extremely powerful, but it is not easy to forge and its quantity is limited.
The two stood ready, as steadfast as rocks, awaiting the storm.
A few breaths later, the sound of something breaking through the air arrived!
Five gray figures appeared like ghosts above the entrance to the valley, standing in mid-air, their cold gazes instantly locking onto the two people beside the stone platform.
The leader was an old monk with a thin, bony frame and a withered face, who looked like he was just skin and bones.
His eyes were deep-set, but his pupils were an eerie dark gold. He held a black vine staff in his hand, with a dark gold skull that twisted and changed shape at the top.
Its aura was as deep as the sea, obscure and unfathomable; it was none other than the Nascent Soul expert that had just been sensed!
Behind him, two people stood on either side.
On the left are a man and a woman. The man has a sinister face and holds two curved, dark gold short blades. The woman is expressionless and holds a pottery jar that is constantly emitting black smoke.
The two people on the right, one of whom was Moro who had come before, and the other was a stranger, a burly man holding a heavy vajra.
This five-person team is formidable and exudes a murderous aura!
