The Untamed: Wei Wuxian Reborn as a Child

Chapter 332: The Battle to Eliminate Taotie

The clouds are so deep that no one knows where they are. The sunlight shines through the mottled shadows of the trees onto the bluestone path.

Wei Wuxian stood with his hands behind his back, his brows slightly furrowed, his mind still on the matter of Taotie.

Although the evil creature was sealed, he would not be at peace until this hidden danger was eliminated.

"Lan Zhan, the Taotie is only sealed, but it's not a long-term solution. What if the seal breaks one day and it comes out to harm the world again? What should we do?"

Wei Wuxian found Lan Wangji practicing calligraphy in the quiet room and said with a worried look on his face.

Lan Wangji put down his pen and looked up at Wei Wuxian with a firm gaze. "I share this concern. What are your thoughts?"

"In my opinion, we have to get rid of it completely before we can be truly at ease."

Wei Wuxian clenched his fists, his eyes filled with determination.

So, Wei WuXian began to contact various experts. Upon hearing this, Bao Shan San Ren came with his apprentice.

Lan Xichen, Meng Yao, Nie Mingjue, and Nie Huaisang also responded. Xue Yang also pulled Xiao Xingchen to join.

Everyone gathered together and sat in the elegant room in the Cloud Recesses to discuss countermeasures.

Wei Wuxian spoke first, "The Taotie is incredibly powerful. We must proceed with caution this time. Everyone, please share your thoughts."

Lan Xichen pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "The Taotie's defenses are impressive. A head-on attack isn't a good strategy. We need to find its weaknesses and wait for an opportunity to strike."

Meng Yao nodded in agreement, "Brother Xichen is absolutely right. We should set up traps in advance to prevent it from escaping."

Nie Mingjue slammed the table and shouted, "Why be afraid of it? Once we find its weakness, we'll just attack it!"

Nie Huaisang said weakly, "Brother, it's better to be careful..."

Baoshan Sanren spoke, his voice calm but revealing an unquestionable composure: "My apprentice and I can cast spells on the side to assist you and provide you with support."

Xue Yang curled his lips, looking nonchalant: "Humph, a bunch of troublesome guys, just wait for me when the time comes."

Xiao Xingchen looked at Xue Yang helplessly and shook his head slightly.

Everyone discussed it one after another and finally came up with a comprehensive solution.

At this moment, Lan Yiheng learned about this and rushed over.

"I want to go too!" Lan Yiheng had a determined look on his face, with fearlessness in his eyes.

Wei WuXian hesitated a bit, "This is no small matter. It's very dangerous. Fourth Uncle..."

Lan Yiheng interrupted him: "Although I have a pact with Taogui, I am capable of protecting myself, and I also want to help everyone."

Lan Wangji looked at Wei Wuxian and nodded slightly. Seeing this, Wei Wuxian could only agree, "Alright then, Fourth Uncle, please stay with us and don't act rashly."

After everyone had packed up, they headed towards the cave where Taotie was sealed.

The atmosphere was a bit tense along the way. Even the chirping of birds in the forest seemed to carry a hint of tension.

When we arrived in front of the cave, there was a gloomy atmosphere all around.

The entrance to the cave was sealed by a layer of ancient runes, which were flickering with a faint light.

Wei Wuxian cast a spell, carefully lifting the seal. As the seal's light gradually faded, a low roar echoed from the cave, as if a sleeping beast had been awakened.

"Everyone be careful!" Wei Wuxian warned in a low voice.

Everyone slowly walked into the cave, which was dark and damp, filled with a foul smell.

Suddenly, a dark shadow leaped out from the darkness. It was the Taotie. It was huge, as big as a hill, its bloody mouth gaping open, revealing sharp fangs, and emitting a terrifying aura.

Everyone quickly dispersed and cast spells to attack Taotie.

Lan Xichen and Meng Yao cast auxiliary spells in the rear to enhance everyone's strength.

Baoshan Sanren and his disciples set up defensive barriers on both sides to prevent Taotie from breaking through.

Nie Mingjue brandished his broadsword and rushed towards Taotie, each blow carrying a tremendous force.

Nie Huaisang hid aside and used talismans to interfere with Taotie's actions.

Xue Yang and Xiao Xingchen worked in perfect harmony, one using the Yin Tiger Talisman to disrupt Taotie's mind, while the other used a long sword to attack its vital points.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji fought side by side. Lan Wangji played the piano, and the sound waves turned into sharp blades to pierce Taotie; Wei Wuxian used Chen Qing to control ghosts and drove the evil spirits to rush towards Taotie.

However, Taotie was extremely ferocious. Although the attacks from the crowd caused it some damage, it quickly adjusted itself and launched an even more fierce counterattack.

It waved its huge claws, stirring up a gust of wind, and pounced on the crowd.

While dodging the attack, Lan Yiheng was accidentally hit by a flying boulder and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Taotie seized the opportunity and pounced on Lan Yiheng. Lan Wangji was closest to Lan Yiheng and flew over to rescue him without hesitation.

Just when Lan Wangji was about to catch Lan Yiheng, Taotie's attack arrived.

Lan Yiheng looked at Lan Wangji in horror. At this critical moment, he suddenly pushed Lan Wangji away with force.

"Be careful!" Wei Wuxian shouted.

Taotie's claws hit Lan Yiheng hard. He vomited blood and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string.

“Fourth Uncle!” Lan Xichen exclaimed.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji were filled with grief and anger. They stared at each other, their eyes filled with determination.

"Let's go together!" Wei Wuxian shouted.

The two of them exerted their full strength at the same time. Lan Wangji's piano music reached its peak, and the sound waves turned into tangible sword energy, rushing towards Taotie.

Wei Wuxian played the Chen Qing flute, the sound was sharp and piercing, summoning countless powerful evil spirits to surround the Taotie.

Under this powerful attack, Taotie gradually showed signs of fatigue.

Wei Wuxian seized the opportunity, flew up, and the Chen Qing in his hand turned into a black light, piercing into the Taotie's eyes.

Lan Wangji followed closely behind, stabbing Taotie's throat with his sword.

With a roar that shook the earth, Taotie fell to the ground and was no longer able to move.

Everyone gathered around and looked at the wounded Lan Yiheng. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji hurried to his side.

"Fourth uncle, how are you?" Wei Wuxian asked anxiously.

Lan Yiheng smiled weakly: "I... am fine. I'm... glad to be able to help..."

Baoshan Sanren rushed over and cast a spell on Lan Yiheng. After some treatment, Lan Yiheng's injuries were temporarily stabilized, but he was still very weak.

Everyone took Lan Yiheng out of the cave.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, reflecting their tired but relieved figures.

Although the battle to eliminate Taotie was full of hardships and Lan Yiheng was seriously injured, they successfully eliminated a major hidden danger and safeguarded the peace of the world.

This experience of fighting together also deepened the friendship between everyone and became an unforgettable memory in their lives.
