Chapter 199: Fakir!

However, the girl felt a little embarrassed by the sudden appearance of an elder with Nascent Soul stage cultivation.

But after learning about the kindness of this Yuanying stage elder, she felt a surge of warm joy in her heart, as if mixed with a hint of barely perceptible happiness.

"You respectfully call me Master, and I really cannot accept such a favor without giving anything in return. Here, I have specially prepared two bottles of elixirs. These elixirs are of great help to Jindan stage cultivators in breaking through bottlenecks. I hope you can accept them."

Chen Yun's face was filled with a friendly smile. He gently spread out his palms, and two jade bottles were lying quietly in his palms. He handed them to the girl with a smile.

For Chen Yun, he would never be stingy if he could do his best to help the descendants of those he once knew.

"Thank you very much for your generous help, Master."

The girl took the medicine bottle with a look of surprise on her face, and her sincere thanks was very pleasant to hear.

"May I ask what kind of magic weapon you are using now? Is it the flying knife you just used? What material is it made of?"

Chen Yun thought for a while and then asked.

"Yes, it is this magic weapon. The flying knife is made of flaming iron and Xuanying crystal. Its power is quite good."

Li Yingning was stunned for a moment and answered with some confusion.

"Under normal circumstances, the throwing knife is indeed sufficient. But now we are about to face a powerful mage, and relying solely on this throwing knife may face some risks."

Chen Yun shook his head and said seriously.

"But now, even if Master-Uncle gives me another magic weapon, I don't have enough time to refine it."

Li Yingning said helplessly.

Hearing this, Chen Yun fell into deep thought.
However, a moment later, he suddenly patted a spirit beast bag on his waist, and a large number of three-colored gold-eating insects poured out of the bag, making a buzzing sound, and instantly formed a huge cloud of insects, floating above Chen Yun's head.

Chen Yun's eyes flashed, and he pointed his finger at the cloud of insects. A small part of the cloud of insects immediately broke away from the team and flew alone.

Then, he waved his hand, and a green spell fell on the cloud of insects.

A small group of gold-eating bugs quickly gathered together under the illumination of the green light. In a flash, they turned into a fist-sized three-colored sphere, emitting a dazzling light and slowly fell into Chen Yun's hands.

"Please keep this item in a safe place. This is a sphere that was transformed from a spirit insect that I carefully cultivated. If you encounter any difficult enemy, just throw this sphere and it should be enough to save your life."

Chen Yun solemnly handed the ball to the girl and gave instructions with a serious expression.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen, for your selfless care!"

Li Yingning was already stunned at this time. When she heard Chen Yun's words, she was even more grateful and burst into tears. She expressed her deep gratitude again and again, and then carefully took the three-color ball.

The last trace of doubt in the girl's heart disappeared with the treasure given by Chen Yun.

At this moment, she finally believed that every word Chen Yun had said before was true and credible.

Otherwise, why would anyone be willing to give such a precious item if there is no connection between them?
"Then you can go down and rest for a while. I need to practice for a while to recover my magic power."

After finishing all the tasks, Chen Yun put the remaining insect cloud into the spirit beast bag again and waved to the girl.

After a long night journey, his magic power was indeed exhausted and urgently needed to be restored.

"Uncle Chen, you should have a good rest. If the army of magicians comes to invade, I will inform you in time."

Now, a hint of intimacy was revealed in Li Yingning's words.

At this moment, Chen Yunduan was sitting in a quiet room on the second floor of the attic, his eyes tightly closed, a bright white light emanating from his body, and his ten fingers crossed and closed in a peculiar posture.

In his hand, there was a white flame the size of an egg, which was gently suspended there, flickering.

This is the Shura Holy Fire that Chen Yun condensed through the ingenious use of various means, and its power is extraordinary.

He firmly believed that even if a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage was unfortunately contaminated by this fire, he would not be able to bear it.

However, as to whether this could be used to defeat a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, since Chen Yun had not personally seen the true strength of a cultivator in the late stage, he was unable to make an accurate judgment for the time being.

Unfortunately, although this fire is incredibly powerful, it is limited by the amount of Qianlan Ice Flame that can be refined. Now Chen Yun can only control so much Shura Holy Fire.

If the amount of this extreme fire could be increased several times, then even if facing a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, he might not be without the ability to fight.

"Congratulations, Master! This Shura Holy Fire looks three times more powerful than when I first saw it. This shows that this fire still has great potential waiting to be tapped!"

Yin Yue's pleasant voice of praise came to Chen Yun's mind.

Hearing this, Chen Yun smiled slightly and opened his mouth without hesitation. With the rhythm of his breathing, the Shura Holy Fire instantly turned into a thin line of flame and was sucked into his body.

Then he loosened his fingers and stopped practicing.

"Although the Shura Holy Fire is extremely powerful, its quantity is limited and cannot be relied upon. Right now, what I am most looking forward to is opening the 'Xutian Treasure Cauldron'. If the power of the Tongtian Magic Treasure you described is indeed as you said, then with this cauldron in hand, we will be able to sweep across the entire Tiannan region. By then, we will be able to truly rest assured in this world."

Chen Yun opened his eyes and spoke in a calm tone.

"Master, rest assured. The magical power of Xu Tian Ding is so great that it will only exceed what I have said, and will never be less than what I have described."

Yin Yue responded with a smile and said confidently.

Hearing this, Chen Yun nodded with satisfaction. When he was about to further express his thoughts, suddenly a white light rushed in from the window, and then Ying Ning's crisp voice came out urgently from the light.

"Uncle Chen, please come to the main hall as soon as possible! Senior Ma and the others have returned, and the Mulan people will be arriving soon." Just as the words fell, the white light spun in the air for a moment and then flew into the quiet room again.

Chen Yun's face darkened, and after a cold light flashed in his eyes several times, he stood up and walked out the door.

When he stepped into the hall, Gu Shuangpu and the bald-browed man were already waiting there.

The old man named Ma who had gone to greet them earlier and another monk in brocade robes with a slightly hunched back and pale face were talking to the two of them.

The Murong brothers, Ying Ning and others stood aside with two unfamiliar Jindan stage cultivators and listened, all with serious and nervous expressions on their faces.

However, when Yingning saw Chen Yun coming in, she looked at him affectionately, then smiled, making her whole body full of charm.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you are here too. Allow me to introduce you to Fellow Daoist Bu Yunhe who is the host of Tiantai Valley. And this one is Fellow Daoist Chen from Luoyun Sect." Bald Eyebrow introduced the two parties with a smile on his face, seemingly with ease.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yun's heart sank slightly.

It seems that the situation is much more serious than I expected!
"I have heard Brother Lu mention Brother Bu's great name a long time ago. I am very happy to know that you have returned safely." Chen Yun said respectfully with a kind smile on his face.

"I am in such a miserable state now that I am afraid that Fellow Daoist Chen will laugh at me. If Fellow Daoist Ma had not come to my rescue in time, I am afraid that I would have met with an accident."

The monk surnamed Bu seemed to have learned Chen Yun's name from others. He did not show any surprise on his face. Instead, he expressed his deep gratitude to the old man surnamed Ma with a bitter smile.

"It wasn't a big deal, I just helped out a little. But the pursuers retreated before I could do anything, which made me feel left out."

The old man said with a mocking tone.

"The sound made by that ancient treasure is really deafening and terrifying. Those Mulan people may feel that they are not sure of dealing with you, so they are unwilling to attack rashly."

"However, this invasion of magicians is indeed completely different from the previous ones. Not only is it more organized, but the ancient beasts inside are also extremely powerful. Not only are they thick-skinned and tough, they are wearing heavy armor and have huge bodies. They also have various mysterious restrictions. Once they are allowed to enter the formation, it is only a matter of time before the formation is breached."

As the monk surnamed Bu spoke, a trace of fear appeared on his face.

"Could it be that even a Yuanying-stage master like Fellow Daoist Bu can't harm these giant beasts?"

When Chen Yun heard this, he was stunned, and then asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Although he had heard that the behemoths brought by the army of mages were extraordinary, he did not expect them to be so powerful, which shocked him.

"With my strength and the full force of my magic weapon, I could indeed cause a certain degree of damage to these giant beasts, but I was being besieged by two high-level magicians at the time and had no time to deal with them. It was precisely because of this reason that the formation was eventually destroyed by these giant beasts. Fellow Daoist Lu now has the help of Fellow Daoist Ma and others, so I believe he will not lose his life easily no matter what."

After careful consideration, Bu Yunhe's expression finally improved.

"Brother Bu, may I ask how many powerful Grand Masters there are in this team of mages? If there aren't too many of them, we five Yuanying-stage masters can act at the same time and perhaps catch them off guard. Even if we can't eliminate one or two Yuanying-stage opponents, we can at least injure them severely."

Gu Shuangpu put forward his suggestion with a gloomy face.

"Alas! I am afraid I cannot satisfy your wishes. Although I have never fought face to face with those opponents, in addition to the two great masters who appeared publicly, I actually discovered another one, the mysterious magician who later issued a warning through the communication beads."

"Although this person has never taken action, the aura he exudes is really unpredictable. Perhaps some non-human existence is hiding among them. Besides, I have no idea whether there are still higher-level mysterious mages hidden."

Bu Yunhe sighed slightly and answered with a somewhat helpless look on his face.

"I see. Then according to your opinion, how should we respond? If the opponent is too powerful to be matched, should we use the large formation to fight against it? After all, our main task now is to buy more time for the next action." The bald-browed man immediately agreed after hearing this.

After hearing these words, Gu Shuangpu frowned, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face, as if he was no longer obsessed with this matter.

However, Chen Yun and the old man surnamed Ma remained silent on this matter and did not raise any objections.

Immediately afterwards, the bald-browed man ordered Taoist Chongxu to take Bu Yunhe to the quiet room for recuperation. At the same time, he asked Ningying and other cultivators to take good care of the Tiantai Valley cultivators who had failed to retreat, and then quickly ordered to increase the number of defenders in the formation.

Seeing that the big man surnamed Lu handled these matters in an orderly manner, Chen Yun couldn't help but nod in approval.

It seems that the Nine-Nation Alliance had indeed given it sufficient consideration when sending this man to garrison here alone.

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a majestic "booming" sound of war drums rolling in from a distant place. The terrifying sound like a thunderbolt in the clear sky attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone's face suddenly changed and they started talking about it.

"I guess the Mulan people have already started tracking us impatiently. When we just returned, they followed closely." The old man surnamed Ma said with a cold expression and burning anger in his eyes.

"Well, why don't we take this opportunity to fight them first and find out which top masters are hidden in this team of mages who have traveled a long distance. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you guys for this mission. And you two will have to fight with us. It happens that you have fought against them before, so maybe you can tell us in advance what moves we need to guard against."

The bald-browed man bowed slightly respectfully to Chen Yun and the others, then turned to the two Jindan stage cultivators who retreated with Bu Yunhe, and gave them instructions in a serious tone.

One of the two men had particularly eye-catching thick eyebrows, and his turbid eyes revealed determination; the other had a thin horse face, long eyebrows, and looked quite gloomy.

Hearing the instructions from the big man named Lu, they looked at each other and immediately clasped their fists to show that they were willing to follow his command.

At this time, Chen Yun cast his gaze in the direction where the drum sound came from, with no expression on his face, as if he was thinking about some profound question.

……

In the southern part of Huanglong Mountain, a large group of Mulan magicians were controlling various strange flying instruments. They lined up in an orderly manner in the sky, overlooking the vast emerald green sea of ​​fog.

In front of the army of mages, there were more than ten people standing shoulder to shoulder, with colorful auras shining on their bodies. They were obviously high-level mages among the Mulan people.

Among these many characters, three people are particularly eye-catching.

One of them was covered in red clouds, with raging flames surrounding him like a dragon, and his face was ferocious; the other one was gaunt, like a bamboo pole, and it seemed that he could be blown down by the wind at any time.
