Chapter 166: Set foot in Penglai and fall into a trap?
After hearing what Chai Xin said, Taoist Qian didn't find it strange.

After all, the other party killed the Little Heavenly Master of Penglai. Anyone would think that this banquet was not simple and had a bit of the flavor of the "Hongmen Banquet".

A serious look appeared on his old face, and he waved his hand and said, "My friend, you have misunderstood. The head of Penglai has personally come forward to say that the death of the little Tianzun was his own fault, and it is not your fault. This sincere invitation to the meeting is only to help both sides resolve their differences and eliminate the estrangement."

Chai Xin couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. He knew very well what kind of person Penglai was in the original novel.

That so-called Heavenly Venerable had already practiced the secret heavenly book passed down by a saint-level demon fetus from outside the domain. In fact, the essence of his soul had been eroded, and he had long been in a state of half human, half demon.

In the original novel, he pretended to be righteous and intended to deceive Ye Fan into entering the ancient sealing formation, so as to fight to the death with the demon fetus sealed in it, but he was seen through and defeated by Ye Fan.

Such a demon, when someone killed his apprentice, could still kindly invite the other party to a meeting, intending to turn the enemy into a friend?

Chai Xin didn't believe a word of this.

"This event will include the headmaster of Qingcheng Mountain, Tianshi Zhang of Longhu Mountain, Abbot Huikong of Daputuo Temple, Taoist Priest Qiri of Zhongnan Mountain... and many other great masters who have already semi-retired. Even if Penglai has evil intentions, they will definitely not dare to risk the world's condemnation and attack you."

Taoist Qian was well versed in human nature and understood what he meant without him saying anything, and he made a solemn promise immediately.

"Even if you don't trust Penglai, you can't be so distrustful of the character of Zhang Tianshi and Taoist Priest Qi Ri, right?"

Chai Xin had heard of the names of Zhang Tianshi, the current master of Mount Longhu, and Taoist Priest Qi Ri of Mount Zhongnan. Not only did he know them through the original novels, but he had also heard many rumors and even seen them from afar when he traveled to various places and practiced the Yuantian secret technique.

The strength of these two monks may be inferior to his, but in terms of moral cultivation, they are indeed impeccable.

More than a hundred years ago, the West invaded the East. If it weren't for the masters of these two sects and the unknown old Taoist priest from the Fangzhang Fairy Island in the East China Sea who risked his life to fight, the losses suffered by the East would have been even greater.

Chai Xin did not doubt that the Longhu Mountain and other sects would unite with Penglai, but he felt that they might have been deceived by Penglai.

Even the head of Penglai was probably just following orders and might not have been clear about Tianzun's true purpose at the time.

As his mind raced, Chai Xin suddenly smiled and nodded, saying, "My fellow seniors are so kind. If I continue to decline, it would be a bit unkind. So, I will leave for Penglai immediately and wait for the Immortal Dao Conference to be held."

After saying this, he wanted to go to the East China Sea.

Taoist Qian hurriedly said, "My friend, Penglai Fairy Island is hidden in an ancient formation. It would be difficult to enter without a guide. So I will accompany you."

He was recalling Chai Xin's previous shameless "broken promise". Although he had clearly agreed this time, he was afraid that it would be just a perfunctory response.

"This... When exactly will the conference be held?"

Chai Xin raised his eyebrows.

"We haven't set a specific date this time. The Penglai Sect Leader specifically told us to invite you first and then set a time."

Taoist Qian said with a smile.

Chai Xin's sneer grew stronger. As the saying goes, "If someone shows kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief." What's more, when there is a grudge between the two parties?

This old guy really put a lot of effort into coaxing me to go to Penglai Island.

He remained calm on the surface and nodded, saying, "Although I am not talented, it is not impossible to find an island. If you have time, why not go and discuss the specific matters of the conference with the leaders of the various religions."

After saying this, without even waiting for Taoist Qian's response, his figure disappeared from the spot.

"This……"

Taoist Qian was stunned for a long time before he reluctantly waved his sleeves and left.

Chai Xin's speed was so fast that he was just a dragon-transforming cultivator and there was no way he could catch up with him.

This small town is located in the Yangtze River Delta region, only a few hundred miles away from the East China Sea. It arrived there in just a few breaths.

Chai Xin has never been someone who is easy to bully. Penglai had inexplicably planned to attack his aunt's family before, so killing the little Tianzun was only natural.

Logically speaking, he should have rushed to Penglai to seek an explanation.

It's just that I was busy studying the "Divine Mantra Sutra" at that time, and wanted to find the opportunity to kill the way as soon as possible, so I temporarily suppressed it.

However, he didn't expect that before he could take revenge, the other party would come to him.

"I was originally planning to go to space to survive, but now Penglai is actually offering me a place to do so!"

Chai Xin smiled and did not waste time looking for Penglai. With a thought, the vast power of his spiritual consciousness suddenly surged out and swept towards the sea surface.

In this mighty power of divine consciousness, there was only one piece of information mixed in - Chai Xin was invited to a gathering in Penglai!
Penglai is a major sect after all, and an ancient heritage, so naturally there are people who keep in touch with the outside world at all times.

Moreover, they must have bases in the waters near the East China Sea and even in coastal cities.

Sure enough, just a few minutes later, several figures dressed in ancient costumes appeared on the sea more than ten miles away.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a light blue robe. He looked dignified and had some of the demeanor of an overseas immortal.

"Penglai Deputy Master Xuanzhen Taoist, I didn't know that Taoist Chai was coming. I failed to greet you in person. I hope you will forgive me!"

The man was very polite and came closer in a few steps.

Chai Xin nodded and said, "Ignorance is not a crime. Please come and pick me up. Thank you very much."

Although he thanked him verbally, he was too lazy to even bow, which made several young disciples behind Taoist Xuanzhen quite unhappy.

"Is this the man who destroyed the Western Church and killed our senior brother? Apart from his handsome appearance, there is nothing special about him. Moreover, he is so arrogant and rude..."

"I really don't know what the headmaster was thinking. This person killed our senior brother, yet he still treats him like a guest of honor."

"In my opinion, his crime is unforgivable and he should be put to death by slow slicing!"

These disciples' eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of murderous intent. They communicated secretly through voice transmission, thinking that this way they would not be noticed.

However, with Chai Xin's powerful spiritual awareness, how could these people who had never even entered the Xiantai Secret Realm communicate with him without being discovered?
Every word they said was heard clearly.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you bow to Brother Chai?" Taoist Xuanzhen thought to himself that something was wrong. These disciples were used to being arrogant in the sect and simply didn't know their place.

Even if he was dissatisfied, he should have stayed away from Chai Xin and communicated with him. How could he be so reckless?

"So this is Penglai's way of entertaining guests... Sending a few disciples to discuss how to torture me to death in front of me?"

Chai Xin sneered and attacked without hesitation.

Without even seeing how he moved, they just felt the air shake violently. Those disciples immediately vomited blood, their faces turned snow-white, and they looked up and fell into the sea.

These people will not die, but their cultivation will be completely wasted and they will never be able to make any further progress in their lifetime.

The worst one was the disciple who secretly said "lingchi execution". He didn't even have the chance to spit out blood. He exploded directly into a ball of blood mist and died completely.

He didn't understand how he died before he died. In fact, Chai Xin's consciousness had not yet been withdrawn and was still lingering around.

With his powerful spiritual awareness, he could naturally kill these disciples who had just entered the mysterious realm of transformation without a burial place with just a thought.

"How can you... start killing people just because you disagree with something?"

Taoist Xuanzhen widened his eyes and looked at Chai Xin in disbelief.

He was shocked by Chai Xin's ruthlessness and decisiveness, but also terrified by his strong strength.

After all, he was a powerful man at the Xiantai level, but in that instant just now, he did not react at all. Not to mention those disciples, even he did not know how the other party made his move!
"I only kill people who want to kill me. At best, I kill the main culprit. How can I say I'm killing people in large numbers?"

Chai Xin had a calm expression, his hands in the pockets of his casual pants, shrugged and said with a smile.

"You!" Taoist Xuanzhen was furious, but he suppressed his anger, his voice became a little dull, "Forget it, you are the distinguished guest invited by the headmaster, come on..."

After saying this, he waved his hand and put the next few disciples who had lost their cultivation into his sleeves, and walked in front without saying a word.

Looking at his performance, Chai Xin became more and more certain of his inner judgment.

These people obviously have a conspiracy, otherwise any major religion would not swallow their anger if faced with such a thing and would demand an explanation no matter what.

Considering the behavior of the disciples of these great sects, it is good enough that they do not act arrogantly. How could they swallow their anger and even tolerate a case involving human life?

But Chai Xin came prepared. Even though he knew there were dangerous places ahead, he was not afraid at all and followed Taoist Xuanzhen into the small world of Penglai.

As soon as you enter, rich spiritual energy immediately hits you in the face, which is several times more abundant than the so-called holy city in the West.

It is worthy of being the immortal paradise passed down by the ancients and the first of the three immortal islands overseas. It really lives up to its reputation.

Moreover, Chai Xin could feel that this small world was very special. It was not opened up by human power and there were not many traces of axes and chisels. It should be a cave formed congenitally!

Such a cave is extremely rare, even outside the domain.

Human power is limited and it is naturally difficult to compare with God, even the great emperors of ancient times are no exception.

Therefore, this innate cave is far more stable and superior than the small world opened up by the ancient sages.

No wonder so many mythological stories in ancient legends are related to Penglai.

"I really don't know whether to say that you are brave and skilled or young and ignorant. You killed my sect's chief disciple, and yet you dared to step into the Penglai fairyland alone!"

The moment he stepped into the small world, the silent Xuan Zhen immediately changed his expression, which became extremely gloomy, and at the same time, there was a strong hint of sarcasm.

"No matter what your level of cultivation is, you will definitely die today!"

"Nothing is so easy in this world! If anyone dares to kill my senior brother, I will torture him for hundreds or thousands of years, making him unable to live or die!"

Then, an extremely resentful voice seemed to come from the depths of the underworld.

It was a graceful figure with a very beautiful face. She was dressed in white and her temperament was extraordinary. She was the most beautiful woman in the world and seemed like a fairy from heaven.

But her expression at this moment was extremely hideous and ferocious, and her beautiful face was distorted as if she was possessed by a demon.

This girl is the saint of this generation of Penglai. Not only does she have an extraordinary appearance, but she is also extremely talented, not inferior to the Little Heavenly Venerable.

She and Xiao Tianzun are childhood sweethearts and have been engaged for a long time. They will get married once Xiao Tianzun enters the second level of the Immortal Platform and takes over the position of the head of Penglai.

The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, made for each other. They are a fairy couple envied by everyone in Penglai.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The little Tianzun died at the hands of Chai Xin just after he broke into the secret realm of Xiantai and set foot in the outside world for the first time in his life.

In this case, how could the Holy Lady of Penglai not hate Chai Xin to the core?

Faced with the change of Taoist Xuanzhen's expression and the sudden appearance of the Holy Maiden of Penglai, Chai Xin was not surprised at all.

While Taoist Xuanzhen was speaking, his hands had already been forming seals continuously. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was surging around him, and laws were looming. It was obvious that he was communicating with the ancient formation here.

And this is also the reason why he has the confidence to turn against you without hesitation.

Penglai's ancient formation is an innate formation, not one set up by humans.

It’s just that the founder of Penglai made some adjustments to the details so that he and his disciples could have control over it.

The innate formation is hard to come by and cannot be created by human power, so its power is naturally extremely terrifying.

If the entire sect were to work together to control this innate magic formation on Penglai Island, even a true saint would not be able to break it!

Even saints with weaker strength will be suppressed.

This is also the fundamental reason why the saint-level demon fetus that descended from outside the domain deep in the East China Sea was sealed by the Penglai sages.

The demon fetus was originally injured and had to flee here for its life. In addition, the Penglai sages were very powerful and had the help of the innate formation, which prevented the world from suffering.

Unfortunately, the ancient sages of Penglai probably never imagined that in later generations there would be an audacious and unworthy descendant who would take the initiative to trade with the demon fetus...

"what a pity."

Thinking of this, Chai Xin couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. It is true that things in this world are unpredictable.

"It's too late to sigh now... Ugh!"

Taoist Xuanzhen thought he was lamenting that he had fallen into a trap, and was about to make a sarcastic remark, but he was forced to swallow back his words before he could finish half of his words.

Because Chai Xin had already locked his neck tightly with his right palm.

Taoist Xuanzhen just felt his hair stand on end and had no idea what was going on.

He had clearly activated the innate magic formation, and the surrounding space was blocked by the power of the law. Logically speaking, the other party was only at the second level of the Immortal Stage, and should have been suppressed and unable to move. How could he have such powerful speed and strength?
"I just feel sorry that your understanding of the laws is too poor..."

Chai Xin looked indifferent, not giving the other party a chance to struggle. He suddenly exerted force with his hands and directly broke his neck.

At the same time, a surge of divine power burst out from his palm and directly shattered his divine thoughts.

Not far away, the resentful face of the Penglai Saint also showed a look of shock. She did not expect Chai Xin to be so vicious and stubborn. Even with the help of the formation, the deputy headmaster was still unable to suppress him.

"You beast, you still dare to commit violence when death is imminent!"

But at this moment, one figure after another appeared out of thin air, each with an immortal appearance and extraordinary strength.
