Chapter 195 Are you practicing magic?
Taoist Xuanming and others looked at the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master who walked out from the ashes of the collapsed Demon-Suppressing Temple. They were stunned for a moment.

“Heavenly Master?”

“Why would the Heavenly Master come out of here? Could it be that the evil energy just now came from the Heavenly Master?”

“Impossible, how could it be the Heavenly Master? The Heavenly Master practices the Taoist magic of Longhu Mountain, which is the purest Five Thunders Law. It can’t be him.”

“Could it be that the Heavenly Master didn’t show up just now and has been in the Demon Subduing Palace the whole time? Was it him who killed the demon king?”

“That’s impossible. The demonic energy on that demon king is terrifying. Even if the Heavenly Master took action himself, it would be impossible to solve it so easily. Wait, why did the Heavenly Master’s aura change? Is it the same as the demonic energy just now?”

“Has the Heavenly Master gone astray again?”

The high-ranking Taoist priests from Mount Longhu were all stunned when they saw the Heavenly Master walking out from the ruins and ashes of the Demon-Suppressing Temple.

At first, some of them speculated that the demon who had just been struggling in the Demon Subduing Hall might have been killed by the Heavenly Master who had hidden in the Demon Subduing Hall in advance.

But soon they realized that things were not as they imagined, because at this moment Zhang Xuanqing’s aura was changing. Zhang Xuanqing walked out of the ashes, and at first his aura was still normal, the pure aura of Longhu Mountain’s Heavenly Master.

Then in the next second, the aura on his body changed, and the Taoist energy in his body actually turned into demonic energy.

Horrifying demonic energy emanated from his body. It was exactly the demonic energy that the high-level Taoist priests from Mount Longhu had just felt from inside the Demon Subduing Hall. It was also the demonic energy that they could not suppress.

Taoist Priest Xuanming was stunned when he saw this scene, and the other Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain were also shocked.

“How could this be?”

Taoist Xuanming’s face was dark.

He knew that Tianshi had gone astray before. It was because a fairy suddenly broke in when he was dealing with the Zombie King. Later, Tianshi suffered cyber violence and went astray.

After going astray, Tianshi’s temperament changed drastically. He became extremely cruel and brutal, and would do anything he could, but he had never reached the point he has today.

Today, all the righteous energy in his body turned into evil energy, and he even became both good and evil. Moreover, he actually felt the breath of zombies from the Heavenly Master. How could this be?
Taoist Xuanming’s face was dark.

Could it be that the Heavenly Master’s obsession this time has become even more serious, and he has directly fallen into the devil’s path?

If this is the case, then it would be a serious matter. Nowadays in the entire Longhu Mountain, there is no one who can be a match for the Heavenly Master.

There is no ability to restrain the Heavenly Master on Mount Longhu. If the Heavenly Master falls into the evil way, who here can be his opponent?
The Heavenly Master has fallen into the evil path, which is much more terrifying than all the demons in the Demon-Suppressing Hall coming out.

Taoist Priest Xuanming asked the high-ranking Taoist priests behind him to step back first, as he wanted to make things clear first. So the Taoist priests stepped back first, and no one dared to attack the Taoist Priest first.

Because they all knew how terrifying the Heavenly Master’s power was, and the situation was still unclear. If they rashly attacked the Heavenly Master, once the Heavenly Master counterattacked, no one present would be able to withstand it. Moreover, given the Heavenly Master’s identity, they could not treat him as an ordinary demon.

Taoist Priest Xuanming looked at the Heavenly Master who was emitting a terrifying demonic aura. He took a deep breath and now hoped that the Heavenly Master could still retain his sanity.

If the Taoist priest could retain his sanity and continue the normal conversation, then things wouldn’t be too bad.

Taoist Xuanming tried to communicate directly with the Heavenly Master and asked him what his current situation was.

“Tianshi? Are you possessed?”

Zhang Xuanqing looked at Taoist Xuanming who appeared in front of him. After a while, he said, “Brother, you are here?”

As soon as the Heavenly Master said this, Taoist Xuanming’s expression instantly looked a little better.

Because at least it proves that the Heavenly Master can still recognize me at this moment, so it doesn’t mean I have completely lost my mind.

Taoist Master Xuanming had seen people who had gone astray before. A cultivator who had completely fallen into the devil’s way would basically be controlled by the evil spirit and become insane, not recognizing his relatives.

A person who has completely fallen into the devil’s way will not be able to recognize anyone, but Tianshi’s current situation is obviously such that he can recognize him at a glance, so there may still be room for him to turn around.

Taoist Priest Xuanming asked the Heavenly Master: “Heavenly Master, what is going on? Why are you in the Demon Subduing Hall? What is going on with the demonic energy in your body? Is it because of possessedness? Is there something wrong with your cultivation method?”

Taoist Xuanming wanted to find out what was going on. Why did the Demon Subduing Hall suddenly riot?
Why was Dragon Tiger Heavenly Master in the Demon Subduing Hall, and what was going on with the demonic energy on him? Was it because he was possessed by a demon? Or was there something wrong with the technique he was practicing?
Zhang Xuanqing said: “It’s okay, it’s not a big problem, it’s not because of the infatuation nor the problem with the technique, I feel much better now than before.

Don’t worry, I’m fine, I just cultivated a new body.”

Taoist Xuanming looked puzzled.

Why did he feel like he didn’t quite understand what the Heavenly Master was saying? What was a new body?
Didn’t the Heavenly Master just practice the Taoist divine body of Jade Pure Thunder God?

As everyone knows, the Thunder God Body that Tianshi had cultivated before was already the top physical body in Taoism. Apart from this, he also needs to cultivate a new physical body.

Then Zhang Xuanqing explained to him that his new body was called the Heavenly Demon Zombie Ancestor’s Body.

The Thunder God’s Body alone is not strong enough, Zhang Xuanqing pursues the ultimate power.

So he directly chose to combine good and evil. By combining the two, his body would become even stronger. In that case, not only would the power of good be unable to deal with him, but the power of evil would also be unable to deal with him.

Taoist Xuanming listened to the words of the Heavenly Master and thought that these ideas were too crazy.

Both good and evil, a combination of good and evil?
This is fucking too scary, is this something a human could come up with?

Taoist Priest Xuanming: “What about the Demon Subduing Hall? What is the Demon Subduing Hall?”

It is understandable that you cultivate the demonic body to make yourself stronger.

But what does this have to do with the Demon Subduing Hall? Why did the Demon Subduing Hall explode at this time?
Zhang Xuanqing said that he naturally needed demonic energy, yin energy, and evil energy to cultivate his demonic body. He couldn’t just go out and catch those demons and monsters one by one to sacrifice his demonic energy, right? How long would it take to catch them?
There are ready-made demonic and evil spirits in the Demon-Suppressing Hall on Mount Longhu, so naturally we have to use what is ready.

Zhang Xuanqing directly stated that he had already slaughtered all the demons imprisoned in the Demon-Suppressing Hall and helped Longhu Mountain to eliminate this time bomb.

After these words were spoken, all the high-ranking Taoist priests on Mount Longhu were dumbfounded.

Does the Heavenly Master mean that he has slaughtered all the demons in the Demon Subduing Hall, absorbed all their Yin, evil, and murderous spirits, and refined their physical bodies, and then destroyed the Demon Subduing Hall?
At this moment, all the high-ranking Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain felt that the Heavenly Master was a little crazy.

Taoist Priest Xuanming: “But…but, Heavenly Master, the Demon Subduing Hall is something left by our ancestors. It has been passed down in our Longhu Mountain for thousands of years. Heavenly Masters of all generations have used it to suppress demons. You just destroyed it like this. Isn’t this going against the will of our ancestors?”

Taoist Xuanming was a little confused. The Demon Subduing Hall was passed down in Longhu Mountain and even in various Taoist sects. It represented some of the thoughts of the Longhu Mountain Taoist sect. Although there were indeed hidden dangers, it was really hard to accept that it was destroyed like this.

Isn’t this a bit outrageous?

Zhang Xuanqing said: “What do you mean by going against the will of our ancestors? Are we going to continue doing the wrong things our ancestors did?

Think about it, if I am not the one to deal with the Demon Subduing Hall today, and if the future generations of Heavenly Masters encounter those with lower cultivation, and the demons in the Demon Subduing Hall gather to a certain number and riot, who will be responsible for our future generations?

If it wasn’t me who broke the seal of the Demon Subduing Hall today, but a real demon, how many of you here would be able to survive? How many of the ordinary people down the mountain would be able to survive?

If these demons were to enter the human world again, who could subdue them? Wouldn’t it be a catastrophe for ordinary people?

This kind of dross should be eliminated. Do you still want to continue this time bomb?”

After Zhang Xuanqing said this, all the high-ranking Taoist priests fell silent. What the Heavenly Master said was not wrong.

This is because the Taoist priests of Mount Longhu really felt that there were problems with the establishment of the Demon Subduing Hall back then. More and more demons were suppressed in the Demon Subduing Hall. These demons refused to repent, and after so many years of gathering, they formed a terrifying time bomb.

If the Heavenly Master hadn’t cleared them all out this time, big problems would have occurred in the future.

If it happened that the Dragon and Tiger Master of that generation was weak, it would be a disaster for the entire Longhu Mountain. This time it was basically a disaster.

Perhaps what Tianshi did this time was right, and it really helped Longhu Mountain eliminate a huge hidden danger.

At this time, a high-level Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain asked a key question.

“Tianshi, now that the Demon Subduing Hall no longer exists, what should we do with the demons we capture in the future?”

Everyone also realized this problem. The Demon-Subduing Hall was gone. What should be done with the demons caught in the future? Where should they be imprisoned?
Zhang Xuanqing said: “Catch? Why should we catch them? There is no need to catch good monsters, and there is no need to catch bad monsters. Since we don’t need to catch them, why should we lock them up?”

Zhang Xuanqing’s meaning is very simple.

If it is a good monster, there is no need to catch it or even pay attention to it. God is merciful and not all monsters deserve to die.

As long as they are not the kind of monsters that harm people and they practice on their own, they are natural creatures, no different from ordinary spirits and beasts. Why catch them?
If it is a monster that harms people, then kill it directly. If it dares to harm people today, it will dare to kill people tomorrow, and massacre the city the day after tomorrow. Once this idea comes up, coupled with the power of the monster, it is already the way to death. Why not kill such a thing that is tired of living?
If you really encounter a demon that is difficult to judge whether it is alive or dead, then bring it back to Longhu Mountain first, and let the high-level Taoist priests and heavenly masters of Longhu Mountain decide his life or death by raising their hands and voting.

The trial and execution can be carried out in court, and there is no need for detention.

Either let go or kill, there is no third option.

In this way, there would be no demons to be brought back to Longhu Mountain, and there would be no need for the Demon-Suppressing Hall.

The theory of the Heavenly Master spread among the high-ranking Taoist priests in Mount Longhu, and these high-ranking Taoist priests in Mount Longhu actually found it very reasonable.

This would indeed save a lot of trouble, as well as the trouble of these demons being imprisoned in the Demon Subduing Hall. It could even save Longhu Mountain the construction of a Demon Subduing Hall and the work of maintaining it.

At first, these high-level Taoist priests on Mount Longhu thought that the Heavenly Master’s blowing up of the entire Demon-Suppressing Hall was indeed a violation of the decision of their ancestors, but after listening to the Heavenly Master’s theory, they felt that it made sense.

Therefore, the matter of the Demon-Suppressing Palace came to an end.

However, everyone remained silent regarding the Heavenly Master’s practice of magic.

The Taoist priests looked at each other and no one spoke.

Because they didn’t know what to say, and they didn’t know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for the Heavenly Master to practice the magic way, so they didn’t dare to say more.

Zhang Xuanqing looked at their expressions and knew that they all had their own thoughts.

However, Zhang Xuanqing is not the unreasonable person. He always likes everyone to talk about everything openly. It is better to talk about everything openly and never leave any grudges in their hearts.

So, Zhang Xuanqing brought these high-ranking Taoist priests into the Tianshi Mansion for a meeting.

First of all, he admitted that he had indeed concealed his practice of cultivating the evil physical body from everyone. After completing the practice of the Thunder God Body, he did deliberately send away these high-level Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain, and then practiced the evil physical body.

If you have any opinions, please feel free to speak out.

The Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain said: “Master, you are the master of this generation of Longhu Mountain, the face of our entire Longhu Mountain. You are also the leader of the Taoist sect and the leader of the righteous path. As the leader of the righteous path, how can you practice the magic technique?”

“Yes, this is not decent. We in Longhu Mountain are here to slay demons and monsters. How can we cultivate a demonic body? How can we go out and slay monsters in the future? We can’t even explain this to our fellow Taoists.”

These high-ranking Taoist priests were all very worried.

Longhu Mountain is the leader of Taoism and the chief of all Taoist sects in the world, and Longhu Tianshi is the chief of all righteous sects.

The Heavenly Master represents the ultimate justice of Taoism.

How can I practice the magic technique now? If this gets out, it will be disgraceful.

Zhang Xuanqing said: “Don’t keep talking about the devil’s body. The skills themselves are neither good nor bad. Good or bad are all made by people. Just like what you said, God has the virtue of benevolence, and nothing is born bad.

There are good and bad demons, and whether they are good or bad depends on what they do.”

Zhang Xuanqing said that when he first started to go astray, many people in the outside world also believed that he had fallen into the devil’s way and that the things he did were extreme devilish behaviors.

But later on, is there anyone who still says that he is a demon?

Now I am just cultivating the demonic body, and it is enough as long as I have a clear conscience.

I practice magic only to strengthen my own power. I don’t care whether it is good or evil, as long as I am good, that’s enough.

Don’t pay attention to what people outside say.

Big fists are the last word.

Zhang Xuanqing said: If anyone is not convinced, they can come to Longhu Mountain and fight me.
