The scholar woke up in a daze, his face throbbing with intense pain. What terrified him even more was the overwhelming heaviness of his body, as if he was carrying a mountain.

The spirit of the mountain was inside him!

Several rays of light fell, transforming into several elders.

Everyone’s faces were not looking good. Their attention had been on Feng Yiju just now, but suddenly they heard the roar of the turtle and saw the spirit of the mountain breaking through the barrier, revealing the Dragon Turtle attacking the scholar.

It was a bit absurd. The scholar’s realm was much higher than that of the Dragon Turtle, but the drop of essence blood on the Dragon Turtle’s head was extraordinary.

“Master, Master Pig…” the scholar spoke with difficulty.

“Stay quiet!” Qiao Changlun looked at him sternly.

He knew his disciple’s character too well, the mistake probably wasn’t on the Dragon Turtle.

“Thank you, Daoist Qinghe.”

Daoist Qinghe nodded. Just now, this place was covered by the spirit of the mountain, and everyone couldn’t see clearly. But this was the territory of Xuanqingguan, and it still had some illusion function.

Xuanqingguan was not like other sects that occupied a vast area, making it inconvenient to create illusions.

The scholar’s face changed. He had to act quickly before, fearing that Su Huanian had left some tricks. He was afraid that once the battlefield of the mountain spirit was opened, the Dragon Turtle would teleport away with Feng Yaya.

Especially when he saw the Dragon Turtle carrying Feng Yaya to the gate of Transcend Mortality, he became even more anxious. Once they entered the gate of Transcend Mortality, there would be no way to keep the Dragon Turtle.

They couldn’t enter the Transcend Mortality realm, even if they sent someone in the Gathering Essence realm, they would probably not fare well against the combined forces of the Dragon Turtle and Feng Yaya.

Without thinking too much, he quickly brought the Qingyuan Formation flag over, forcibly stuffed the spirit of the mountain into it, but didn’t have time to deal with his hands and feet.

He didn’t plan to deal with it anyway, as long as the spirit of the mountain entered his body, he would honestly go to the Sect Leader and admit his mistake and accept the punishment. What could be so bad?

But now, things had gone wrong.

Before the illusion finished playing, the scholar immediately bowed: “Master, I am not skilled enough and couldn’t control it well. When the spirit of the mountain was about to come out of the formation flag, I thought of benefiting Junior Brother Dragon Turtle. I thought that with the spirit of the mountain on its outer appearance, Turtle Mountain could make further progress…”

“Why did you choose to suppress it then?” Qiao Changlun’s tone was icy.

Old Taoist Ge looked at the scholar and understood. The scholar controlled the spirit of the mountain and must have discovered Su Huanian’s intention coming out of the illusion. Plus the matter with Feng Yaya, he thought that the Dragon Turtle was on Su Huanian’s side.

“I really did it for the good of Junior Brother Dragon Turtle. There are many benefits to having the spirit of the mountain in the body…”

Before he could finish, Xia Dali interrupted sarcastically: “Then shouldn’t you be thanking Junior Brother Dragon Turtle? He used the essence blood of the Divine Beast to help the spirit of the mountain enter your body. Instead of being grateful, you wanted to use the formation flag to hit people? No wonder Junior Brother bit you.”

He who harms others will eventually harm himself!

Xia Dali looked at the scholar, took a deep breath and said solemnly: “On the day when Junior Brother Dragon Turtle participated in Senior Uncle Ge’s trial, he was attacked by Lu Ming’s men. The monitoring method I left behind didn’t work at all. It was you who hid it, right?”

The scholar had a special talent and always had unexpected abilities. In the entire Qingyuan Sect, apart from the Sect Leader and Sister Su, only he could do this quietly.

The scholar probably didn’t know that he had arranged a trial for the Dragon Turtle at that time. He only heard about Lu Ming’s scheme in the Suppression Prison and wanted to turn the tables, but he didn’t know that he actually helped the Dragon Turtle.

This time was the same.

Those who like to use plots will eventually be defeated by their own schemes.

“Sect Leader!” Xia Dali bowed to the sky.

Feng Yiju descended from the sky, looked at the scholar and shook his head lightly: “Junior Brother, you have gone too far. Dragon Turtle is our Junior Brother, you shouldn’t have done this.”

The scholar opened his mouth, but couldn’t say anything.

Feng Yiju looked at everyone: “Let’s seal the scholar’s cultivation level and true body, and imprison him in the water prison of the Sword Residence for a cycle of sixty years. If after sixty years, Junior Brother Dragon Turtle’s cultivation level is still not as good as the scholar’s, let the scholar be confined in the ancestral hall of the Sword Residence, not allowed to leave, until Junior Brother Dragon Turtle’s cultivation level catches up, so he doesn’t have to worry about being retaliated against.”

He looked at Qiao Changlun: “Senior Uncle, do you think this punishment is acceptable?”

Qiao Changlun looked at the scholar disappointingly, then turned around and said: “The Sect Leader’s disposal is certainly acceptable, but this water prison of the Sword Residence is not like the Suppression Prison, right?”

He knew that there were disciples who had plotted against the Dragon Turtle and even schemed against Yaya. Even when they were locked up in the Suppression Prison, they could still stir up trouble.

Feng Yiju gave a bitter smile: “Senior Uncle is overthinking. The Suppression Prison was not originally used as a prison, but to transport disciples of the Sword Residence. The supervision was naturally lax.”

The various True Transmissions of the Sword Residence all came from Qingyuan, and they couldn’t have people dying every day. The Suppression Prison was a way out.

Moreover, the space of the prison ghost was right under the Suppression Prison, and it might be discovered by the Xuantian Sect. The laxness of the Suppression Prison could naturally deceive the Xuantian Sect.

He looked at Old Taoist Ge: “Senior Uncle, please send a Transcend Mortality disciple to enter the Three Lives Gate to find Junior Brother Dragon Turtle. Now Qingyuan is not like before, the rules that should be followed will be followed, there is no need to be so cautious.”

Old Taoist Ge smiled and agreed. He patted Qiao Changlun’s shoulder.

Qiao Changlun sighed deeply.

Plop!

Stepping through the Three Lives Gate, there was a vast ocean in front of him. It was not a lake or a swamp, it was the sea!

The water was salty.

There were several islands in the distance, the small ones were about the size of a football field, and the large ones could barely see the edge.

This battlefield was not barren, there were plants and animals, and there were fish, shrimp, and crabs in the water.

Two sea turtles swam past him.

The faint sea breeze blew, and Su He immediately fell in love with this place.

The Dragon Turtle should be in the sea!

Taking a deep breath, the spiritual energy was abundant. Although it was not as good as the Listening Sea Lake after setting up the formation, it was much better than before. It was enough for his cultivation.

As far as he could see, there were no people, no boats, no traces of life.

He didn’t know if the Three Lives Gates of all the major sects were connected here, this area should be quite large. Su He made the waves rise high, and he couldn’t see the edge.

With his Dragon Turtle’s vision, mixed with his Divine Sense, he could see clearly even tens of thousands of miles away.

This place was very big.

Su He was even more satisfied.

He put Feng Yaya in the bird’s nest, Su He dived into the water, only half of the small mountain was exposed on the water surface, like a moving small island. He gently parted the water and swam towards the distant island.

Lurking, observing…

There was no danger, Su He quietly landed on the island.

The island was densely forested, full of birds and flowers, and indeed uninhabited.

The only threat came from a four-star giant lizard, hiding in the forest and sticking out its tongue at Su He, sneakily preparing to ambush.

It was stunned by Su He’s roar of divine power and didn’t wake up until half an hour later. It shook its head, looked at Su He with a tilted head, croaked like a frog, and then charged at Su He like a greenhorn.Su He roared, and two bolts of lightning struck down. The giant lizard lay paralyzed on the ground, twitching uncontrollably, finally recognizing the situation. It retracted its head in fear, looking at Su He, daring not to make any more movements.

It’s been a long time since I fought a beast, I’m a bit rusty.

It’s a pity it’s not a Giant Salamander, I kind of miss it. Su He looked around, only then did he realize with annoyance, this is the sea, where would a Giant Salamander come from?

“Can you understand me?”

The giant lizard blinked its confused big eyes.

So stupid!

“Ang~”

Are there any powerful guys around?

“Ha!”

Me…you!

The general meaning is, it used to be me, now it’s you.

“Ang~”

Have you ever seen someone who can fly on a sword?

Ordinary Transcendence Stage cultivators probably wouldn’t come to the sea, only those who have achieved Enlightenment and Gathering Essence would.

The giant lizard blinked, suddenly realizing, and pointed to the big bird above its head.

“Ha~Ha~”

That one, it’s tasty, I won’t snatch it, it’s yours!

Su He sighed leisurely, how did he manage to survive with the crocodile for so long before?

But he could probably understand now, there really must be no cultivators here, otherwise, there’s no reason to give up a four-star Exotic Beast.

A hint of joy flashed through Su He’s heart.

This place is not bad, it’s decided. Before transforming into a pure-blooded Dragon Turtle, I’m definitely not leaving!
