The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 988: The Demon Immortal Array

Chapter 988: The Demon Immortal Array

Su Jingzhen sighed inwardly, but he understood that this was inevitable.

"Gather the remains of these three senior brothers. We'll bury them properly when we return."

Su Jingzhen spoke to Lin Xiu, who nodded silently and immediately stored the three bodies.

With the first casualties, the expressions of the Divine Dan Sect disciples grew even more solemn.

Although they were grieving, they understood that casualties were inevitable in such a chaotic expedition.

"There will be many dangers in this secret realm, and more casualties may follow. Everyone be careful."

Once again, Su Jingzhen reminded them.

When they first entered through the Vortex Passage, he had already anticipated this. However, he hadn't asked Bai Suzhen to protect them in advance.

Su Jingzhen knew very well that this was a training experience for everyone, not just him.

If he were to micromanage everything and have Bai Suzhen protect them at all times, this journey would lose its meaning for the other members of the Divine Dan Sect.

Now that he had joined the Divine Dan Sect and taken on the role of leader, he felt a sense of responsibility.

Sacrificing a few so that the rest could be tempered and transformed upon their return was a kind of payback.

The group quickly calmed down, everyone becoming more cautious.

Su Jingzhen looked back and saw that the passage they had entered through was still there, slowly rotating.

He was slightly surprised. It seemed like this passage was a permanent fixture here.

However, their view ahead was filled with a light green mist.

To call it a mist wasn't entirely accurate - it was wood attribute spiritual energy that was so dense that it had turned into a fog.

But this spiritual energy also hindered the divine consciousness of Su Jingzhen and the others, preventing them from probing too far.

This added an extra layer of danger to their mission.

"Senior Brother Shangguan, do you know anything about this secret realm?"

Su Jingzhen instinctively turned to Shangguan Tiantong.

The latter shook his head.

"I've heard of the Star River Ancient Tree for a long time, but I've never entered it. Besides, there's very little information about this secret realm. The Divine Shepherd Sect has kept it extremely well guarded".

Su Jingzhen nodded and didn't push any further.

Bai Suzhen lay on his shoulder, maintaining her one foot long white serpent form. Her sapphire eyes glowed with a soft light.

They didn't know how large the secret realm was, nor did they understand how the legendary plant spirits existed within it.

At the entrance, they could only proceed step by step, exploring cautiously.

Moving at such a slow pace, they traveled through the light green secret realm for the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

Yet, they didn't encounter a single disciple of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect.

"Since the Great Zhou Immortal Sect chose the Star River Ancient Tree as their target, they must value it highly. It's unlikely that they only stationed a few mid-stage Spirit Immortal cultivators here.

But after traveling this far, we still haven't seen any trace of their other members. It's quite strange."

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself. At that moment, a blue light flashed in Bai Suzhen's eyes.

Suddenly, a white sphere of energy shot out from her forehead, striking the void ahead of her.

The space twisted, revealing a series of dark black energy patterns.

The energy patterns emitted a strange seal-like aura.

"What is this? Isn't the Star River Ancient Tree supposed to be the most sacred and vibrant plant spirit? How can such a sinister energy exist here?"

"Could it be the work of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect?"

"..."

After seeing these energy patterns, the members of the Divine Dan Sect began to discuss, their expressions growing serious once again.

Su Jingzhen frowned and instinctively looked at Bai Suzhen.

"I can only sense that there seem to be many of these within the secret realm, and it feels like a net," Bai Suzhen said.

After speaking, a sacred white light continued to shine from her forehead.

Although it wasn't the Chaos Calamity Light, it still carried a decomposing energy.

Following the energy patterns she had revealed, the space continued to twist, and everyone saw that these patterns extended far into the distance.

It was like a dense, sprawling net that was about to envelop the entire secret realm.

Seeing this, Bai Suzhen's expression suddenly turned serious.

"It's getting stronger. There's a formation called the Demon Immortal Array that was specially designed to target various demonic beasts.

Due to the nature of my soul, I instinctively feel a sense of caution towards this net.

When you think about it, the Star River Ancient Tree is also a tree demon. I

t seems that the Great Zhou Immortal Sect's goal is very clear-not only do they want all the plant spirits in this secret realm, but their ultimate aim is the entire Star River Ancient Tree itself."

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen narrowed his eyes.

From the moment he first saw the Star River Ancient Tree and felt its surging energy, Su Jingzhen had already chosen a perfect place for it to grow - the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

If the Great Zhou Immortal Sect's goal had only been the plant spirits within the secret realm, he might have been able to accept it.

But now, in his eyes, the Great Zhou Immortal Sect had truly crossed the line.

"Fellow Daoist Su, it seems that the Great Zhou Immortal Sect's people are deeper within the secret realm.

We haven't seen a single plant spirit along the way, so they must have collected them already. If what Lady Bai Suzhen said is true, then we must destroy this network.

The fact that we haven't encountered any disciples from the Great Zhou Immortal Sect along the way suggests that their Demon Immortal Array is likely at a critical stage.

Apart from the ambush at the entrance, they probably couldn't spare anyone else to deal with us.

When they complete the Demon Immortal Array, it'll be too late for us to do anything."

Jian Ling spoke with a serious expression, already holding a thin transparent sword in her hand.

Su Jingzhen nodded in agreement.

"Bai Suzhen, please help us locate these energy nets. Leave the rest to us."

Having traveled so far without noticing anything unusual, Su Jingzhen knew that they would need Bai Suzhen's power to uncover the hidden energy nets of the Demon Immortal Array.

At the same time, Jian Ling's Spirit Immortal level aura surged, and a sharp sword energy slashed at the energy patterns.

The sword energy pierced through, and the patterns instantly dissipated.

But the next moment, they reformed.

Everyone was stunned.

Jian Ling hailed from the Soaring Clouds Sword Sect, a first-rate force, and her offensive power was undoubtedly among the top in their group.

The fact that her sword strike didn't damage the essence of the patterns and had no effect meant that the energy forming these patterns was at a higher level than her sword energy.

After Jian Ling's strike, deep within the Wood Element Secret Realm, a white-robed disciple of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect held a dark black crystal ball in his hand.

Energy patterns continuously spread out from the crystal ball, forming those twisted and mysterious lines.

At that moment, he seemed to sense something and glanced back.

A disdainful smile curled on his lips.

"So they noticed? But what can they do?

Once I complete this task, whoever you are, since you've killed my Great Zhou Immortal Sect disciples, be prepared to rest here forever."

After muttering to himself, the Great Zhou Immortal Sect disciple quickly moved deeper into the secret realm, toward areas not yet invaded by the net.

In other directions, dozens of other white-robed figures holding black crystal balls were also busy at work.
