Chapter 336: Staking out the Two Saints in the West
At the same time, under the guidance of the system, Luo Shu passed through layers of clouds and mist and came to a fairy mountain - Luoxia Peak.
The air around seemed to be frozen, carrying an ancient and silent atmosphere, which was far from the fairyland in Luo Shu's heart where immortal spirits lingered and spiritual light shone.
"System, are you sure that the two saints from the West will come to this... this place?"
Luo Shu looked around and saw that although the mountain in front of him was called Luoxia, there was no trace of the magnificent scenery illuminated by the sunset. Instead, there was a desolate scene with withered spiritual energy and sparse vegetation.
He couldn't help but frown. The doubts in his heart were like the mist lingering in the mountains, difficult to dispel.
[Ding! Please keep your confidence and trust the professional judgment of this system. This place may seem desolate, but it actually hides a mystery... Well, to be honest, it's not that great! But please believe that all arrangements have a deep meaning. ]
The system's answer made Luo Shu laugh and cry. He shook his head helplessly and couldn't help but complain:
"System, system, your attainments in nonsense literature are improving day by day. It's simply astonishing!"
“But, I really don’t believe that this small Luoxia Peak could hide any treasure that could make the two high and mighty Western saints condescend to come all the way here?
[Ding! The host is wrong. Don't underestimate this Luoxia Peak. Although it may seem ordinary to you, compared to the barren land in the west, this place is simply a paradise, rich enough to make people jealous.]
Hearing this, Luo Shu raised his eyebrows and said jokingly:
"Oh? So, this Luoxia Peak is really a treasure land? Then the two saints from the West must hold magnifying glasses and search inch by inch, fearing that they will miss a single spiritual herb or a spiritual stone?"
After hearing Luo Shu's words, the system was busy...
After a moment, the system continued.
[Host, you should know that since the battle between Taoism and demons, the spiritual veins in the west have been severely damaged, and all living things have suffered. As a result, the spiritual energy in the west is now as thin as boiled water, and the lack of resources is heartbreaking. ]
[In order to change the barren conditions of the West, the two saints of the West often come to the East to collect money. From living creatures to ordinary spiritual roots and herbs, wherever they go, there is desolation.]
"System, this doesn't mean anything, right? Even if this place is better than the Western Land, it is not enough to attract the two saints from the West to come here."
"The East is vast and rich in resources. There are many places better than Luoxia Peak. According to what you said, they should go to some places with good spiritual veins."
[Ding! The host doesn't know that now is the time of the catastrophe, and the aura of catastrophe is everywhere. Even a saint has to be careful and hide. ]
[So, the two saints from the West can only sneak around in places like this to find some spiritual roots and herbs.]
Hearing this, Luo Shu raised his eyebrows and said slowly:
"System, although I have heard of the shamelessness of the two Western saints, they are not as shameless as this one."
"They even want to take away the spiritual roots and herbs grown in a place like this? If that's the case, they must be really hungry."
After saying that, Luo Shu shook his head again and sighed helplessly:
"Alas, the morals of the world are really going downhill. Even saints have started to eat anything they want! This world is really hard to understand and fathom."
system……
[Ding! Host, you are overacting! ]
[Although the actions of the two saints in the West seem somewhat inappropriate, they are actually helpless actions for the development of the West.]
"Indeed, in fact, I admire the two saints of the West. After all, I cannot do what they do."
"I don't know when the two saints from the West will arrive, so I'll take a look around Luoxia Peak first."
"System, if the two saints approach this place, notify me immediately."
After saying that, Luo Shu began his stroll.
……
In the plague array, Manjusri Bodhisattva had been forced to take every step with difficulty due to the plague energy in the array. His clothes were soaked with sweat and fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
"Lü Yue, you despicable fellow!"
The voice of Manjusri Bodhisattva echoed in the formation, with a bit of anger and disdain, "You call yourself a disciple of Jiejiao, but you can only rely on such a sinister and cunning formation to win. You are really a small Taoist!"
"Haha, Manjusri Bodhisattva, why are you so angry?"
Lu Yue's voice came from all directions, but no one was seen. It was as if he had become a part of the formation, omnipresent and yet nowhere to be found. "The way of formation is originally a kind of great way. I am using the plague to defeat the enemy. How can it be said to be sinister and cunning?"
Upon hearing this, Manjusri Bodhisattva sneered and said:
"You are really a creature covered in fur and horns, born from an egg in the wetness! You are clearly going against the will of heaven, using the plague to set up an array, which is extremely insidious."
"Lü Yue, if you are really capable, then show up and fight with me to see whether your Taoism is more powerful or my Yuqing Immortal Technique is better!"
However, Lu Yue did not show up, but just sneered:
"Manjusri, you are so shameless to say that. What realm are you in? What realm am I in? You still want to fight me one-on-one? It's just wishful thinking!"
"Just enjoy yourself in this plague array! I don't have time to fight with you."
Upon hearing this, Manjusri Bodhisattva sneered even more. He flipped his hand and a crutch appeared in his palm. The crutch emitted a faint light, as if it contained endless power.
He held a crutch in his hand and pointed at a random spot in the formation, with a hint of anger in his tone:
"Lü Yue, don't be so arrogant. Just wait. Even if I can't break your plague formation, someone will be able to break it."
"Humph, then let's see how arrogant you can still be!"
Lu Yue's voice came from all directions, with a bit of contempt and ridicule:
"Manjusri, do you think your threats can scare me? You are too naive!"
"Besides, this plague array was created with all my efforts. It contains countless changes, and each level is enough to kill cultivators below the level of Golden Immortal."
"Even a cultivator like you who is at the Golden Immortal level can't escape this disaster."
He paused, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his voice once again penetrated the aftermath of the plague, carrying endless contempt and provocation:
"Didn't you say that someone would break my plague array? Who is that person? Where is he?"
"Manjusri, are you deceiving yourself and others, thinking that you alone can shake this great plague formation that I have spent so much effort to set up?"
Lu Yue's words echoed in the empty formation, as if every word and sentence turned into a sharp blade, trying to cut through the firm belief of Manjusri Bodhisattva.
However, Manjusri Bodhisattva did not get angry. His face was calm and his eyes revealed a deep light, as if he had seen through everything.
At this moment, a clear bell sound suddenly came from outside the plague formation. The sound was melodious and mysterious, and instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the formation.
Lu Yue's expression changed slightly. He was keenly aware of the unusualness of the ringtone and became secretly alert.
"Humph, I want to see if your plague array can withstand this man's attack."
Manjusri Bodhisattva sneered, and that smile contained endless confidence and expectation.
As the bell rang closer, a figure slowly stepped to the edge of the plague array.
