Chapter 1483 Karma Fire
"Captain, how did you let this kid go?"
"Could it be related to that phone call just now?"
"Damn, what's this kid's background to make Director Shen personally call?"
Everyone looked at each other with blank expressions.
Gao Shan watched everyone's expressions with a complex look.
Director Shen?
If you all knew that General Xian was on the phone, your jaws would hit the floor!
At this moment, Chen Xuan quickly hailed a car and headed to the address Zhang Xiaolong had sent. Soon, he arrived in a large mountain.
The mountains were undulating, covered in dense forests, with several rivers around.
There were also a series of stumbling footprints on the road, which looked like Gao Shan's.
He climbed quickly along the mountain path and soon reached the mountainside. He indeed found a cave halfway up the mountain, several kilometers away from him.
Chen Xuan instinctively extended his divine sense. He could see every blade of grass, every tree, and even the slightest movement within a ten-kilometer radius. His divine sense quickly reached the cave, and he was slightly stunned.
He discovered that the cave could not be penetrated by divine sense at all, and he couldn't help but wonder how this was possible.
His divine sense could penetrate raw jade, so how could it not penetrate the cave?
After several attempts, Chen Xuan failed. Helplessly, he withdrew his divine sense. Fearing that Zhang Xiaolong and Huang Li were in danger, he rushed towards the cave.
However, this time, he was exceptionally careful because he could sense a very powerful being inside the cave!
Inside the cave, it was very damp, and the ground was covered with various stones, making it difficult to walk.
Above their heads, there were various stalactites and crystals that reflected all sorts of light, illuminating the otherwise dark cave.
The sound of water dripping from the stalactites echoed within the cave!
Drip, drip!
Chen Xuan walked forward for five to six minutes when the surroundings suddenly opened up. No one would have imagined that within the mountain, there was an open space of over two hundred square meters. There were also polished stone furniture, suggesting that someone had lived here a long time ago.
His gaze shifted, and he saw Zhang Xiaolong and Huang Li lying unconscious on the ground. He lunged forward.
Just then, a shadow flashed, blocking Chen Xuan's path. "Chen Yiming, I thought you wouldn't dare to come!"
"What did you do to them?"
Chen Xuan asked immediately.
"Don't worry, they've just fainted and are fine. If you had come a minute later, they might have gone to see the King of Hell," the shadow sneered.
"Who are you? Why did you want me to come?"
Chen Xuan questioned.
"Don't you know what you've done? You've offended someone you shouldn't have, and you have to pay the price!"
As the shadow spoke, it turned around.
It was an ancient, extraordinarily ferocious face, with eyes containing terrifying energy.
He wore a tattered Taoist robe, with each piece of torn cloth resembling a rune. Complex characters were written on them, and when connected, they seemed to form a classic Taoist incantation.
"Did Lu Cheng send you?"
Chen Xuan immediately reacted and felt a surge of joy.
Lu Cheng had indeed sent someone again. He had been worried that Lu Cheng wouldn't dare to send anyone, but he had overthought it.
"Kid, you're quite smart."
"Senior, as a master of Taoism, why do you have to work for Huanghai Group? I suggest we turn enmity into friendship."
Chen Xuan said solemnly.
"How did you know I'm from the Taoist sect?" The shadow was clearly taken aback.
"The Taoist robe you're wearing is probably written with the Dharma Flower Sutra using Buddha's blood. If you weren't from the Taoist sect, why would you wear such a robe? And if I'm not mistaken, your status within the Taoist sect is not low."
The shadow became interested. "Good insight! Guess who I am?"
"One of the Three Elders of Taoism, the Dharma Flower Taoist."
As soon as he said this, the shadow looked at Chen Xuan with even more surprise.
"You actually know my Dharma name, but that Dharma Flower Taoist is already dead. Everyone calls me Master Evil. Are you also from the Xuanmen sect?"
"Yes."
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, but his heart was even more astonished.
The Dharma Flower Taoist, one of the Three Elders of Taoism, was rumored to have mysteriously disappeared while fighting an evil entity. The Taoist sect searched for him for many years but could not find him. How did the Dharma Flower Taoist appear here?
And how did he become a thug for Huanghai Group?
All of this made Chen Xuan feel incredulous.
"Who is your master, and which mountain do you hail from?"
Facing the Dharma Flower Taoist's questioning, Chen Xuan merely smiled faintly and did not explain.
His surname was Chen, which was already a taboo in the capital.
"Your surname is Chen, could you be from the Chen family in the capital?" The Dharma Flower Taoist seemed to have thought of something. "No... impossible, how would someone from the Chen family in the capital dare to come to the capital? Who exactly are you?"
"Dharma Flower Taoist, stop guessing. I'm more curious. It's rumored that you, the Dharma Flower Taoist, disappeared without a trace while fighting an evil force. How did you end up working for Huanghai Group?"
The Dharma Flower Taoist shook his head, his eyes showing a hint of melancholy, but he did not continue the topic.
"There are some things you shouldn't know. Surrender now, and I'll give you a swift death."
"Dharma Flower Taoist, although you are one of the Three Elders of Taoism, you are no longer who you were, and your strength seems to be severely damaged. I'm afraid you are no match for me."
"We'll see!"
The Dharma Flower Taoist's eyes narrowed. He flicked his Taoist robe, and with a whoosh, a talisman was thrown from his sleeve.
"The Three Realms are not at peace, like a burning house. They are filled with suffering and are extremely frightening!"
As the incantation was uttered, the talisman suddenly ignited, and a fire snake lunged towards Chen Xuan.
This flame was not ordinary. Although it was not as potent as the Samadhi True Fire, it was the karma fire of Buddhism!
Chen Xuan moved, dodging the attack. The fire snake landed on a stone, which immediately began to smoke, leaving a large pit in an instant.
If this had burned someone, they would have turned to ashes instantly.
Such strength was far beyond what a divine realm expert could withstand!
This scene also caused Chen Xuan's expression to change.
Old antiques are indeed old antiques, their methods are truly ruthless!
"You actually dodged it. Did your teacher ever teach you that you can dodge the first but not the fifteenth?"
The Dharma Flower Taoist sneered.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's expression changed. By the time he reacted, it was too late. A fire snake appeared out of nowhere and slammed into his chest!
Instantly, Chen Xuan's clothes caught fire!
The karma fire burned Chen Xuan's chest.
Pain!
Piercing pain!
Chen Xuan felt as if he were being gnawed by ten thousand ants!
"Damn? Am I going to be finished?"
Just then, he suddenly felt a tremor in his dantian. A mysterious power rushed from his dantian and converged on his chest!
Instantly, the raging karma fire was extinguished.
"Huh? It's okay?"
Chen Xuan patted his chest and found that only his clothes had a large hole burned in them, and he was unharmed.
What was going on?
Could it be because of that Nascent Soul power?
