Chapter 239 -232: Rescue, The Might of the Talisman

Jiang Zuo didn’t know where his fellow sect disciples were, so he didn’t waste time searching for them himself.

He condensed an ordinary Blood Qi Avatar and had it go in his stead.

Under the current rules of the Daoist Talisman Holy Land, a Blood Qi Avatar carrying a pile of Talismans was no different from Jiang Zuo going himself.

The Blood Qi Avatar took the Talismans and began to move like a ghost.

Meanwhile, Jiang Zuo buried his head and continued to draw more Talismans.

…

In a remote room.

“Lady Bai Ling, why won’t you let the two of us go assassinate those human Cultivators!”

“Right now they’re a complete mess, unable to even fend for themselves. Even if you don’t make a move, Lady Bai Ling, we brothers can still kill a considerable number of human Cultivators if we work together!”

“They are all geniuses of the human race’s Dao of Talismans. Killing them would be a great benefit to our Demon Race!”

The speaker was a Mouse Demon that had cultivated the Transformation Technique.

Unless a Demon Beast cultivated to the level of a Demon Race Venerable, not many of them would practice the Transformation Technique.

However, in order to enter the Daoist Talisman Holy Land with Bai Ling, several highly intelligent Demon Beasts had begun cultivating the Transformation Technique more than two years ago.

The ones now by Bai Ling’s side were precisely two Fourth-Order Mouse Demons.

“I’ve told you, it’s unnecessary. There’s something wrong with this Daoist Talisman Holy Land Secret Realm. They’ll all die here sooner or later.”

“You just need to follow my orders and help me find that Zhou Yong as quickly as possible.”

“Once you find him, you two will be handsomely rewarded when we return.”

Bai Ling said flatly.

“Yes, Lady Bai Ling.”

The two Mouse Demons had no choice but to reply this way.

…

The Celestial Talisman Institute didn’t have many buildings, so it didn’t take the Blood Qi Avatar long to find where the disciples from his sect were located.

Jiang Zuo also found where the Spirit Seal Sect members were staying.

Taking the Talismans, Jiang Zuo set out to find them.

Zhao Chengjun was the oldest and had the highest Cultivation among the disciples from the Black Tortoise Dao Sect on this trip.

Naturally, he was also in charge of this expedition to the Daoist Talisman Holy Land.

However, Zhao Chengjun had never imagined before entering that the expedition would turn out like this.

Although the Black Tortoise Dao Sect had obtained nine keys to the Secret Realm, after the sudden change, they felt that this trip might be quite difficult.

In the end, they only sent six people in.

All six were in the Three Flowers Realm.

Anyone weaker either had a Cultivation that was too low or was completely ignorant of the Dao of Talismans.

The Black Tortoise Dao Sect traded the extra keys to the Secret Realm with other sects for resources.

Zhao Chengjun was glad they had only sent six people; otherwise, the Black Tortoise Dao Sect’s losses this time would have been even more disastrous.

On the very first day in the Secret Realm, one of their junior brothers lost contact.

Zhao Chengjun was leading the other four junior disciples, and things had been going relatively smoothly.

He never expected the rules of the Daoist Talisman Holy Land to change so abruptly. Now, the five of them felt as if they were living on borrowed time.

But he didn’t have any better ideas, so he could only brace himself and press on.

In the current situation, Zhao Chengjun and the other four would absolutely not go outside without drawing enough Talismans.

Zhao Chengjun was focused on drawing Talismans.

Suddenly, a Divine Sense transmission echoed in his mind.

Listening to the transmission, a look of surprise and disbelief appeared in Zhao Chengjun’s eyes.

The transmission soon ended. Zhao Chengjun stood up and walked outside.

“Zhao, where are you going?”

A junior sister saw him and quickly asked.

“Nowhere far, just outside the door.”

Zhao Chengjun waved his hand.

He pushed open the door, looked left and right, and then saw a storage pouch on the ground to his left, just as he’d been told.

This was a storage pouch that ordinary humans could use; anyone could open it.

Opening it, Zhao Chengjun saw that it was indeed filled with a large pile of Talismans.

“Zhao, where did all these Talismans come from?”

The junior sister who had spoken was worried about him and had followed him out. When she saw this, she couldn’t help but exclaim in pleasant surprise.

“Talismans?”

The other three also came out upon hearing the commotion.

The group couldn’t help but take the Talismans and count them.

Then, all of them were stunned.

A full three hundred Third-Order Talismans, five Fourth-Order attack Talismans, and three Fourth-Order Clear Heart Calming Talismans!

“Zhao, where on earth did these Talismans come from?”

His junior brothers couldn’t help but ask.

These Talismans were more than all the ones the five of them had combined.

The three Fourth-Order Clear Heart Calming Talismans, in particular, brought them a great sense of relief.

“A senior brother from our sect sent them to us.”

Zhao Chengjun said with a complicated look in his eyes.

He also found it hard to believe that all of this was a gift from the junior brother whose Dao path was rumored to have been severed.

With Zhao Chengjun’s own expertise in Talismans, he could naturally tell how extraordinary these were.

‘Wasn’t it said that Junior Brother Zhou Yong’s Dao path was severed?’

Zhao Chengjun had even lamented this with some of his sect brothers.

‘But this Junior Brother Zhou Yong… how does he look like someone whose Dao path is about to be severed?’

‘And besides his Beast Taming Talent, how is his talent in the Dao of Talismans also so terrifying?’

His junior brothers all wanted to know which senior brother was looking out for them so well.

But since Zhao Chengjun didn’t say, they didn’t press the matter.

Just having so many Talismans suddenly in their hands made them all incredibly excited.

…

“It’s not working, Senior Sister Bu! We’ve used the Cyan Lotus Calming Talisman too many times! It has no effect on Junior Sister Luo anymore!”

“Don’t panic! Stall for time with Junior Sister Luo. Once her Spiritual Power is nearly depleted, the Cyan Lotus Calming Talisman might still work!”

In the main hall of a house, Bu Yuehua shouted grimly to several of her junior sisters from the Spirit Seal Sect.

At the front of the hall, a female Cultivator with bloodshot eyes had already lost her senses.

She continuously unleashed Magic, attacking Bu Yuehua and the others.

Gongyun Pill watched the crazed woman with an incredibly anxious expression.

Senior Sister Luo was usually a very kind person who took great care of her.

For some unknown reason, over half a month ago, Senior Sister Luo’s personality had suddenly changed, and she began attacking them.

In the end, Senior Sister Bu had used a Cyan Lotus Calming Talisman to temporarily put Senior Sister Luo to sleep.

But after that, Senior Sister Luo would wake up every few days and go berserk again.

The previous few times, though chaotic, they had always managed to subdue Senior Sister Luo in the end.

However, it took more and more effort each time.

This time, the Cyan Lotus Calming Talisman seemed to have lost its effect completely.

If the Cyan Lotus Calming Talisman still failed to work in the end…

…then they would probably have no choice but to kill Senior Sister Luo with their own hands.

And that possibility was very high.

At this thought, a hint of sadness flickered in Gongyun Pill’s eyes.

Jiang Zuo had originally planned to do the same as he did for Zhao Chengjun: stay hidden, drop off a storage pouch, and be done with it.

After all, if he just called out Zhao Chengjun or Bu Yuehua alone, they would probably suspect it was a trap.

Not meeting face-to-face and just leaving the items behind would save a lot of trouble.

However, he didn’t expect to run into a situation like this when he arrived at the Spirit Seal Sect’s dwelling.

Jiang Zuo didn’t hesitate. He burst through the door, and a Clear Heart Calming Talisman flew from his hand.

“Who is it?”

The few female Cultivators from the Spirit Seal Sect were all startled and looked over in a hurry.

“Brother Zhou!”

Gongyun Pill shouted in pleasant surprise upon seeing Jiang Zuo.

“Zhou Yong?”

Bu Yuehua also recognized him at a glance, her expression a mixture of shock and suspicion.

“I… what happened to me?”

But what shocked them even more was that under the effect of Jiang Zuo’s Talisman, the female Cultivator with the surname Luo had actually recovered from her frenzied state.

“Senior Sister Luo!”

“Are you okay?”

Hearing her voice, the others surrounded her in a joyous rush.

“What kind of Talisman was that?”

Seeing this, Bu Yuehua couldn’t help but ask.

“A Clear Heart Calming Talisman. However, the ones you draw probably aren’t as effective as mine.”

Jiang Zuo sensed that Bu Yuehua could probably draw the Clear Heart Calming Talisman, so he took out a Divine Sense Jade Tube and gave her the drawing method.

Along with it, he gave her three more Clear Heart Calming Talismans.

“I have other things to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now. If you run into any problems you can’t solve, you can leave a message for me at this location.”

“But please try not to spread any information about me.”

Not wanting to linger, Jiang Zuo also left Bu Yuehua a location.

It wasn’t too far from where he was staying. If Zhao Chengjun and Bu Yuehua’s groups ran into trouble, they could leave a message for him there. If Jiang Zuo was nearby, he would discover it immediately.

If he wasn’t, he would check on his way back.

Without waiting for Bu Yuehua to say anything more, Jiang Zuo’s figure flickered and vanished.

“Huh? Where’s Brother Zhou? Why did he leave already?”

Gongyun Pill came back to her senses and, seeing that Jiang Zuo was gone, said with a hint of disappointment.

“Junior Sister Gong, was that the Brother Zhou you were talking about?”

The other Spirit Seal Sect disciples also came to their senses and asked curiously.

“That’s him! I told you he was amazing, but you didn’t believe me!”

Gongyun Pill said proudly.

‘Now, no one will doubt my words again.’

“This Talisman… what’s going on with it?”

Bu Yuehua’s attention, however, was completely focused on the Clear Heart Calming Talisman Jiang Zuo had given her.

Her skill in the Dao of Talismans was extraordinary. With just a glance, she noticed that this Talisman was unusual.

Looking closer, she was stunned.

…

After delivering the Talismans, Jiang Zuo breathed a sigh of relief.

All in all, he hadn’t been too late.

He had finally cast off all his burdens and could now hunt more Fourth-Order Talismanic Dao Beasts with peace of mind.

However, as he was passing through a doorway…

Jiang Zuo’s figure suddenly flashed.

Then, dozens of Talisman spells instantly enveloped him.

Slightly disheveled, Jiang Zuo emerged from the barrage of spells.

“Finally found you.”

Bai Ling walked out with a faint smile, flanked by the two Mouse Demon brothers.

Just as she expected, Jiang Zuo had gone to find the disciples of the Black Tortoise Dao Sect, and the two Mouse Demons had found him.

“Surrender without a fight. That was just a little greeting.”

“If you try to resist, the three of us will use our Talismans on you together.”

“No matter how tough your physical body is, don’t even think about getting lucky.”

Bai Ling said flatly.

Of course, her goal wasn’t to kill Jiang Zuo, but to investigate his body.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have wasted so much time talking to him.

“Is that so? Then let’s see if you have what it takes.”

Jiang Zuo said, and with a flick of his hand, he threw out three Fourth-Order Flame Talismans.

Three massive torrents of flame instantly swept toward Bai Ling and her two companions.

One moment, Bai Ling was still smiling faintly. The next, her expression changed drastically when she sensed that the power of these seemingly ordinary Fourth-Order flames was strangely potent.

“Dodge!”

She roared urgently.

“Anger!”

However, Jiang Zuo wasn’t about to give them a chance to escape.

He had directly unleashed the Anger Rune Technique.

The moment the Anger Rune Technique was unleashed, whether it was the two Mouse Demon brothers or Bai Ling, all of them saw red as an intense rage surged through their minds, causing them to lose their composure.

And in that momentary lapse, the three Fourth-Order flames landed on each of them.

“ROAR!”

The two Mouse Demons let out furious roars, but before they could struggle, they were reduced to ash by the flames, leaving behind two Divine Sense Jade Stones hovering in the air.
