Chapter 132 The Golden Rope of All Things
The Five Immortals Pavilion, located in the deep space of the Canopus constellation, is a long-established sect dedicated to cultivating immortals. On this day, the disciples of the pavilion gathered in the square in front of it, the atmosphere tense and solemn.
The Golden Spirit Immortal Hero wielded the Spirit Light Immortal Sword, its blade gleaming with golden light, as if it could sever all evil from the world. With a determined gaze, she spoke in a deep voice, "I've heard there's a dark organization here called the 'Golden Rope of All Things.' They prey on people's food, clothing, and shelter, seeking exorbitant profits with small investments. This has left ordinary people homeless, and even monks are not immune. We're on this journey to uncover the truth and eradicate this scourge."
The silk jade belt of Fairy Shuirou danced lightly, its beauty imbued with boundless power. She whispered, "The Golden Rope of All Things operates in secret, so we must proceed with caution."
Lin Feng gripped the ancient wooden staff tightly, the runes on it flickering faintly. He said calmly, "We'll work in groups of five, spreading out. This way we can gather more clues and avoid being caught in one fell swoop."
Junior Sister Dong Meng controlled the Star-Gathering Dust Soil, a mysterious light surrounding them. She winked playfully, "Brothers and sisters, don't worry. I will protect you all with my Star-Gathering Dust Soil."
The young man in blue played the flute "Ten Thousand Souls Hear," and the sound stirred the hearts of the people. He whispered in agreement, "I will use the flute to disturb the enemy's mind and buy you time."
Su Mo gently waved his rune-emblazoned folding fan, and light shone on it. He raised his lips slightly, "If we're going to have fun, let's go big. I, Su Mo, will definitely uncover the mastermind behind the Golden Rope of All Things."
Mu Qi gripped the retracted wooden spear tightly, its tip gleaming coldly. His gaze was sharp. "Let's go! Let's see what this Golden Rope of All Things can do."
The woman in white danced with the Thousand Flying Stars, the starlight shimmering brightly, illuminating the path ahead. Zhu Yao waved a thousand bamboo tails, casting shadows that provided cover for the group. Junior Sister Qingyu scattered thousands of pine nuts, which transformed into tiny points of spiritual light, surveying the surroundings.
The first group, Jin Ling Xianxia, Shui Rou Fairy, and Lin Feng, headed towards the small town to the east. The town was full of shops, but it seemed a bit desolate. The people had worried faces and were in a hurry.
Jin Ling Xianxia frowned and said, "The atmosphere here is not right. We have to be careful."
Fairy Shuirou said softly, "Look, there are quite a few people gathered in the teahouse over there. Let's go over and listen to what they are saying."
The three of them walked into the teahouse and sat down in a corner, only to hear a few monks at the next table whispering.
"Have you heard? The Golden Rope of All Things has started soliciting investments in town again, saying they can double your profits."
"Humph, those are all lies. My neighbor's kid believed their lies and invested all his money in it, but now he has lost everything."
"That's right. I heard that they colluded with some monks and specifically harmed ordinary people like us."
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Golden Spirit Immortal Hero: "It seems that we must find the base of the Golden Rope of All Things as soon as possible."
Lin Feng nodded: "Well, let's investigate secretly first to see what they are up to."
Elsewhere, the second group of young men in blue, Su Mo, and Mu Qi headed to a mine in the west. Inside the mine, workers were busy but looked exhausted, as if they were being oppressed.
The young man in blue blew the flute that startled all souls. The sound of the flute penetrated the noise and made some workers stop their work with confused expressions.
Su Mo waved his folding fan gently. "It seems that the workers here are controlled by the Golden Rope of All Things. We must find a way to rescue them."
Mu Qi gripped his spear tightly and looked around vigilantly: "Be careful, there may be an ambush here."
Suddenly, a group of men in black rushed out from the darkness, holding sharp blades, and attacked the three people.
The young man in green played a passionate flute, disturbing the black-clad men's minds. Su Mo waved his folding fan, and the light on the fan surface was bright, pushing back the black-clad men who rushed in front. Mu Qi brandished his spear, emitting a cold light, and fought with the black-clad men.
The third group, the woman in white, Zhuyao, and Junior Sister Qingyu, came to a field in the south. The crops in the field were not growing well, and the farmers were sighing.
The woman in white danced with the Thousand Flying Stars, and the starlight fell on the farmland. The crops seemed to be nourished and trembled slightly.
Zhu Yao waved thousands of bamboo branches, and the heavy shadows of bamboo blocked out several strangers who wanted to approach.
Junior Sister Qingyu scattered thousands of pine nuts, which turned into points of spiritual light, exploring the situation around the farmland.
"Something's going on here." Junior Sister Qingyu suddenly said.
The three of them looked in the direction indicated by the spiritual light, and saw a man in black walking stealthily towards the depths of the farmland.
The woman in white flashed and chased after him, followed closely by Zhu Yao and Junior Sister Qingyu.
The man in black saw that the situation was not good and turned to flee. The woman in white danced with Thousand Leaf Flying Stars, and the starlight was like a net, trapping the man in black.
Zhu Yao swung a thousand bamboo tails, and the shadows of the bamboos were like whips, lashing at the man in black. Junior Sister Qingyu scattered pine nuts, which turned into spiritual light, revealing the man in black's secrets bit by bit.
After some interrogation, the three learned that the Golden Rope of All Things was secretly controlling the harvest of the farmland here, in order to threaten the farmers to invest in their projects.
Meanwhile, Jin Ling Xianxia, Shui Rou Fairy, and Lin Feng found the base of the Golden Rope of All Things in the town. The base was hidden in a luxurious mansion and was heavily guarded.
The Golden Spirit Immortal Warrior held the Spirit Light Immortal Sword and tapped the ground with the tip of the sword: "We have to find a way to sneak in."
Fairy Shuirou's silk jade belt danced lightly: "I can use the silk jade belt to create some illusions and confuse the guards."
Lin Feng nodded: "Okay, let's take this opportunity to sneak in."
The three of them worked together, with Fairy Shuirou using a silk jade belt to create an illusion, tricking the guards into thinking they were cultivators from other factions. Fairy Jinling and Lin Feng took the opportunity to sneak into the mansion.
The interior of the mansion, though luxuriously decorated, exuded a gloomy atmosphere. The three of them walked cautiously, fearing to alert the enemy.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard. The three of them immediately hid in the dark, only to see a group of men in black hurried past, seemingly carrying something.
Jin Ling Xianxia lowered his voice and said, "They seem to be carrying something important. We have to keep up."
The three followed the man in black to a secret room. The man in black stopped and took out his tokens, and was allowed to enter only after his identity was verified.
Jin Lingxianxia frowned: "The defense here is tight, we have to find a way to get in."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment: "I have a solution, you wait here for me."
After saying that, Lin Feng quietly left. After a while, he came over with a man dressed in black.
"This is an illusion I created using a primitive ancient wooden staff. It can disguise me as a man in black." Lin Feng explained.
The three disguised themselves as men in black and successfully entered the secret room. Inside the secret room, there were many precious spiritual materials and treasures, as well as account books recording investment information.
The Golden Spirit Immortal Hero flipped through the account books, his expression growing increasingly grim. "These account books record all the crimes committed by the Golden Rope of All Things. We must take them back."
Fairy Shuirou nodded: "Yes, we also need to find their leader and bring him to justice."
Suddenly, the door of the secret room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a black robe walked in. His face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the secret room of the Golden Rope of All Things!" the middle-aged man shouted angrily.
The Golden Spirit Immortal Warrior held the Spirit Light Immortal Sword, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the middle-aged man: "We are disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion, and we are here to eradicate this scourge of yours."
The middle-aged man sneered: "Five Immortals Pavilion? Humph, today you will never return!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and a group of men in black rushed out from the darkness and attacked the three people.
The Golden Spirit Fairy, the Water Soft Fairy, and Lin Feng were undaunted, engaging the men in black. Their swords shone brightly, their silken jade belts danced lightly, and their ancient wooden staffs shimmered with runes. The three of them coordinated seamlessly, repelling the men in black one by one.
The middle-aged man saw this and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had not expected that the disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion would be so powerful.
"You do have some abilities, but today I will make sure you die here!" the middle-aged man roared.
After saying this, he flashed and attacked the three people. His speed was so fast and his strength was so great that the three people were unable to resist for a moment.
At this critical moment, the young man in blue, Su Mo, and Mu Qi climbed in through the window. The three of them had just dealt with the men in black in the mine, and after learning the whereabouts of Jin Ling Xian Xia and others, they immediately rushed to support them.
"Senior brothers and sisters, we are here to support you!" shouted the young man in green.
Su Mo waved his folding fan, and the light on the fan surface became brighter, forcing the middle-aged man back. Mu Qi brandished his spear and engaged the middle-aged man.
Seeing this, Jin Ling Xianxia, Shui Rou Fairy, and Lin Feng were cheered up. They joined forces with the young man in green, Su Mo, and Mu Qi to surround the middle-aged man.
Although the middle-aged man was brave, he gradually fell into a disadvantage under the siege of six people. He saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape.
The Jinling Immortal Warrior was swift and quick-witted. Holding the Lingguang Immortal Sword, he slashed at the middle-aged man's back. The middle-aged man screamed and fell to the ground.
"Don't even think about catching me! The Golden Rope of All Things will not let you go!" the middle-aged man roared.
The Golden Spirit Immortal Warrior sneered: "The end of the Golden Rope of All Things has arrived."
After saying that, she chopped off the middle-aged man's head with a sword. The middle-aged man's body fell to the ground weakly, and his blood stained the ground red.
At the same time, the woman in white, Zhu Yao and Junior Sister Qingyu also dealt with the men in black on the farmland and rushed over with the farmers.
"We succeeded!" Junior Sister Qingyu cheered.
Everyone nodded, their faces filled with joy. They had finally eradicated the scourge of the Golden Rope of All Things and brought peace to the people.
Did they really eliminate the dark organization of the Golden Rope of All Things so quickly?
However, just as everyone was about to leave, a cold wind blew past. An old man in a black robe slowly emerged from the darkness. His eyes gleamed with a faint green light, and he exuded a terrifying aura.
They thought they had eradicated the foundation of the Golden Rope of All Things, but they had no idea that this was just the tip of the iceberg. The appearance of the black-robed old man brought the entire atmosphere to a new level of tension.
"Do you think that the core of the Golden Rope of All Things can be destroyed so easily?" The old man's voice was hoarse and deep, as if it came from the depths of hell, carrying endless ridicule and threats.
The Golden Spirit Immortal Warrior tightly grasped the Spirit Light Immortal Sword and stared at the old man warily: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The old man sneered, "I am the true leader of the Golden Rope of All Things, known as the 'Shadow Weaver.' What you killed was merely a substitute for me."
Everyone was shocked when these words came out. It turned out that their previous efforts had only cut off one of Shadow Weaver's arms, and the real threat was still lurking in the dark.
Fairy Shuirou fluttered her silk jade belt, trying to detect the old man's strength, but found that the other party's cultivation was unfathomable, far beyond their imagination.
"It seems that we have a tough battle to fight today." Lin Feng said in a deep voice, and the runes on the primitive ancient wooden staff began to flow rapidly, preparing for the upcoming battle.
The young man in green blew the Wanhunwendi again, trying to disturb the old man's mind with the sound of the flute, but found that the other party's will was as strong as iron, and the flute sound had little effect on him.
Su Mo waved his folding fan lightly, his eyes flickering. "Hmph, even if you're the real leader, so what? We, the disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion, wouldn't be afraid of such an evil demon as you!"
Mu Qi gripped the wooden retractable spear tightly, his muscles tensed, ready to attack at any time.
The woman in white, Zhu Yao and Junior Sister Qingyu also quickly adjusted their state and were ready for battle.
The Shadow Weaver slowly raised his hand, and a ball of black energy gathered in his palm. That energy contained endless evil and greed. "Today, I will let you witness the true power of the Golden Rope of All Things!"
Before he finished speaking, the black energy suddenly erupted, transforming into countless black tentacles that attacked everyone. Wherever the tentacles passed, the space seemed to be corroded, leaving behind shocking traces.
Jin Lingxianxia and the others did not dare to be careless and used their special skills to engage in a fierce battle with the black tentacles. The Lingguang Immortal Sword cut off the tentacles one by one, but the tentacles continued to grow again from the broken parts like an endlessly venomous snake.
Fairy Shuirou's silk jade belt turned into a barrier, trying to block the tentacles' attack, but the tentacles were extremely corrosive and cracks soon appeared on the barrier.
Lin Feng waved the primitive ancient wooden staff, releasing powerful natural power, trying to purify the tentacles, but the effect was not obvious.
The blue-clothed young man's flute music seemed a little weak in the battle. He tried hard to concentrate and tried to use the flute music to interfere with the Shadow Weaver's actions.
Su Mo waved his folding fan lightly, and light flowed on the fan, releasing a series of fierce attacks, but the Shadow Weaver seemed to be able to predict his movements and easily avoided them.
Muqi's spear was like a dragon, constantly shuttling between the tentacles, trying to find the true body of the Shadow Weaver.
The woman in white danced with the Thousand Flying Stars, the starlight shining brightly, trying to illuminate the location of the Shadow Weaver, but the other party was like a ghost in the night, elusive.
Zhu Yao and Junior Sister Qingyu were responsible for protecting everyone from the tentacles' sneak attacks. They cooperated well and bought precious fighting time for everyone.
However, as time went on, everyone began to feel their strength wear out. The Shadow Weaver was too powerful, and they seemed unable to find a way to defeat him.
"Are we really going to fail here?" Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of despair in his heart.
At this moment, a golden light descended from the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield. Within the golden light, an old man in a golden robe slowly stepped out. His gaze was as sharp as a torch, and he exuded a sacred aura.
"Disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion, don't be afraid, your master is here to lend you a helping hand!" The old man's voice was as loud as a bell, full of power and majesty.
Everyone was greatly encouraged by this. It turned out that this old man was the head of the Five Immortals Pavilion, their long-respected master.
The appearance of the Pavilion Master made Shadow Weaver's expression change slightly. He obviously had not expected that the Pavilion Master of the Five Immortals Pavilion would come in person.
"Hmph, even if you come in person, you can't change the victory of the Golden Rope of All Things!" The Shadow Weaver snorted coldly and launched another attack.
But this time, the Pavilion Master didn't choose a head-on confrontation. He formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and then suddenly shouted, "Five Immortals Sealing Demon Formation, activate!"
As the Pavilion Master finished speaking, five rays of light of different colors flew from five directions, landing on the Golden Spirit Fairy, Water Soft Fairy, Lin Feng, the young man in green, and Su Mo. These five rays of light instantly transformed into five huge runes, tightly enveloping the five people.
At the same time, Zhu Yao and Junior Sister Qingyu also felt the surge of power. They each displayed their unique skills and echoed the Pavilion Master from afar.
"Is this... the Five Immortals Demon Sealing Formation?" Fairy Jin Ling looked at the runes on her body in surprise. She had heard the elders in the pavilion mention this legendary formation, which was said to be able to seal all evil in the world.
Fairy Shuirou and the others also showed shocked expressions. They did not expect that the Pavilion Master would actually cast such a powerful formation for them.
Shadow Weaver's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. He felt the terrifying pressure from the Five Immortals Demon Sealing Formation, a force that could completely seal him away.
"No! You can't do this!" Shadow Weaver roared.
