Chapter 219: Demon-Slaying Achievement
Chapter 219: Demon-Slaying Achievement
Master?
The expressions of many Jindan Zhenren present froze, and then they were all shocked.
He Dongsheng has only the initial stage of foundation building. At the age of nearly thirty, he has only this level of cultivation, which is not considered outstanding in the entire Beimang branch.
However, many Jindan Zhenren present still sincerely called He Dongsheng “Little Grandmaster” because of the master behind He Dongsheng.
At the age of just over a hundred, he achieved the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, took charge of one of the thirteen main branches of the Taiyi Sect, and was only one step away from comprehending the immortal method of longevity and reaching the state of incarnation in his late spring and autumn.
An old ancestor of the Taiyi Sect once commented on Mu Chunqiu, saying that he had the potential to become an immortal.
Mu Chunqiu temporarily stayed in a branch of Mangshan, which made the sect’s top leaders very happy, especially the two great True Lords at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, who even took the initiative to give their caves to Mu Chunqiu.
In the view of the sect’s upper echelons, if Mu Chunqiu could achieve the state of incarnation in the Mangshan branch, the Mangshan branch could also borrow some of the power of the incarnation and solve the hidden danger of the sect not having a state of incarnation in charge for a thousand years.
Even if Mu Chunqiu has not made a breakthrough, the Mangshan branch can still retain some affection, which is beneficial to the entire sect.
It is precisely because of this that He Dongsheng, as the only disciple of Mu Chunqiu, has an extraordinary status in the Mangshan branch. Even the Yuanying Zhenjun has to be courteous to He Dongsheng.
He Dongsheng claimed that Mu Chunqiu wanted to meet Lu Yan. Doesn’t that mean that Lu Yan has already caught Mu Chunqiu’s attention?
Realizing this, the eyes of many Jindan Zhenren looking at Lu Yan suddenly changed.
With the approval of Mu Chunqiu, a legitimate descendant of the Taiyi Sect, who in the entire Taiyi Sect would dare to say that Lu Yan had other intentions?
Among the many golden elixirs, the most nervous one was Mo Yangzi.
Hearing He Dongsheng’s address to Lu Yan, Mo Yangzi’s face had already turned pale, and he couldn’t help but curse at Elder Xiao in his heart.
“Damn you Xiao Han, you keep saying that Lu Yan is just a swindler, but you never mention that you were fired and that Lu Yan had a connection with Master Mu.
How much information have you concealed, you idiot? “
Thinking of this, Mo Yangzi even began to suspect that he had offended Elder Xiao somewhere, and the other party was deliberately setting a trap to frame him through Lu Yan.
Just when everyone was having different thoughts, Lu Yan was somewhat surprised that Mu Chunqiu would actually invite him.
However, he made such a big fuss in this branch of Mang Mountain just to show off his talent and to facilitate his subsequent contact with Mu Chunqiu, which was exactly what he wanted now.
“Since Master Mu has invited me, I will naturally obey, but I have some other things to do.”
As he spoke, Lu Yan looked at Mo Yangzi.
He Dongsheng heard this and asked a great master who was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm:
“Master Wen, I remember that my Taiyi Sect strictly forbids private fighting among its disciples, and using the power of cultivation to suppress others is an absolute taboo.
I hope to get an explanation for what happened today.”
Master Wen, who was being questioned by He Dongsheng, wiped the sweat from his forehead, forced a smile and said:
“That’s what the young master taught me.
According to the sect rules, Mo Yangzi relied on his position as a deacon to wantonly oppress the sect disciples and destroy the sect’s property. He should be dismissed from his post and sent to Yinfeng Cave to guard for ten years. “
Hearing this reply, He Dongsheng explained to Lu Yan:
“The Yinfeng Cave is a special spiritual place that was accidentally formed after many Yuanying Zhenjuns set up the Dragon Vein Fengshui Bureau.
In the Yinfeng Cave, there is a howling evil wind coming from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds. Anyone who has not yet condensed his spirit and soul will have his soul blown away by the evil wind if he comes into contact with it. Even a cultivator who has established his foundation cannot stay in it for more than a month.
For a True Person in the early stage of the Golden Core, guarding the Yinfeng Cave for ten years is already a very severe punishment.”
While Mo Yangzi looked grim, he also felt a little relieved in his heart.
Although guarding the Yinfeng Cave is a difficult task, fortunately it does not pose a life threat to Jindan Zhenren. He can restore his identity after the ten-year sentence is over.
It might not be a bad thing to have spent ten years of hardship to avoid Lu Yan’s hostility.
Facing the current situation, Lu Yan shook his head and said:
“Brother He misunderstood me. I targeted Mo Yangzi not for personal revenge, but Mo Yangzi is very likely to have been contaminated by the power of the evil demon.”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of many Jindan Zhenren present suddenly changed, and Mo Yangzi was furious and said:
“That’s nonsense!”
“How could I possibly be related to the evil demons of the outside world?”
“You are just trying to find a pretext to accuse me!”
Mo Yangzi was almost going crazy with anxiety. If he just violated the sect rules, he would be punished at most, but the evil demons from outside the sect were punishable by anyone. If he was involved, his cultivation would be abolished at the very least, and at the worst, his soul would be destroyed.
Lu Yan didn’t want him to be punished, he wanted him to die!
Even Master Wen put away the worry on his face and looked at Lu Yan seriously.
“To involve the heretics and evil spirits, we need evidence.”
Lu Yan must be confident to say this.
When Lu Yan faced the oppression of Elder Xiao, he briefly activated the Human Emperor Banner, causing the suppression of the Xuanpin Gate to loosen, leaking a trace of the Xuanpin Gate’s aura.
That breath entangled with Xiao Shang and turned into an inner demon that strengthened his hostility towards Lu Yan. It later instigated Elder Xiao to set an ambush and kill Lu Yan, forcing Lu Yan to use the Human Emperor Banner to release the Xuanpin Gate.
When Lu Yan found Mo Yangzi’s visiting card in the storage bag, he became a little wary of the name Mo Yangzi.
After arriving at the branch of Mangshan, Mo Yangzi showed hostility towards Lu Yan just because of a few words from Xiao Shang, and then he tried to kill Lu Yan without hesitation. These information revealed too many unusual things, which were very similar to Xiao Shang’s state of being possessed by inner demons.
Lu Yan had reason to believe that the aura from the Xuanpin Gate could erode Elder Xiao, who was at the peak of the Golden Core realm, and naturally could also pose a hidden danger to Mo Yangzi.
Mo Yangzi’s actions were guided by the aura of the Xuanpin Gate, forcing Lu Yan to use the Human Emperor Banner to liberate the Xuanpin Gate.
It’s just that Mo Yangzi was too ambitious and lacked the ability to achieve his goals. He didn’t expect that Lu Yan could cross a major realm and seriously injure him, which led to the current situation.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan bowed to Master Wen and then explained:
“Mo Yangzi once had contact with Qingwu Sect’s Elder Xiao Han, and that Elder Xiao and his son Xiao Shang were once influenced by the evil demons of the outside world and gave birth to inner demons, and tried to ambush and kill me.
Thanks to the help of a senior, I was able to escape.”
“If Master Wen doesn’t believe me, you can capture Mo Yangzi. I have a way to verify whether there is an aura in his soul that does not belong to this world.”
It was no secret that the three members of the Xiao family were gathering information and trying to ambush and kill Lu Yan. Since they had successfully established contact with the Taiyi Sect, there was no need for Lu Yan to hide, as long as he did not reveal the specific details.
Upon hearing Lu Yan mention the involvement of Qingwu Sect, Master Wen hesitated for a moment, and a magic seal appeared in his palm.
The great immortal who was at the peak of the Golden Core stage directly used his magic weapon, and the seal suppressed Mo Yangzi in an instant. Under the divine light of the seal, it became a luxury for Mo Yangzi to even move a finger.
“please!”
After hearing Master Wen’s words, Lu Yan no longer hesitated. He walked closer and used his powerful spiritual sense to probe into Mo Yangzi’s body.
Lu Yan’s spiritual sense swept across Mo Yangzi’s soul, and as expected, he discovered a clue. The aura of the Xuanpin Gate had begun to spread quietly deep in Mo Yangzi’s soul.
Although he had not yet reached the level of evolving his inner demon, Mo Yangzi’s previous hostility towards Lu Yan and his attitude of directly attacking him were largely due to the influence of the aura in his soul.
The golden light of merit bloomed on Lu Yan’s palm, quietly penetrating into Mo Yangzi’s soul, forcibly restraining the breath of the Xuanpin Gate. The breath tried to hide, but under the golden light of heavenly merit, there was no escape at all, and the wisp of black breath finally appeared in front of everyone.
The next moment, two figures with an aura like the deep sea appeared here. They were the two Yuanying Zhenjun of Taiyi Sect.
One of the Yuanying Zhenjuns with a dignified face grabbed the breath and said in a thunderous voice:
“How dare the evil demons from outsiders invade the minds of my Taiyi Sect disciples? How arrogant they are!”
“I will report this matter to all the major branches and ask Huashen Daojun to handle it.”
As he spoke, a golden rope fell from Yuanying Zhenjun’s hand and tied Mo Yangzi tightly.
“Take Mo Yangzi to Wangdao Cliff to await his fate.”
After issuing the decree, the dignified Yuanying Zhenjun looked at Lu Yan and He Dongsheng.
“You handled it very well. I will report the credit for uncovering the evil heretic.”
Afterwards, the two Yuanying Zhenjun grabbed Mo Yangzi and disappeared in this world.
Looking at the two Yuanying Zhenjuns leaving, Lu Yan should have been very happy that he had solved the hidden danger of Mo Yangzi, but for some reason he felt an inexplicable uneasiness.
The Xuanpin Gate is related to the existence behind the Changsheng version. Lu Yan has fought with the other party many times and almost ended up in jail.
Given the opponent’s methods, it shouldn’t be possible for Lu Yan to see through their backup plan so easily.
This matter developed too smoothly, as if it was a prepared performance script and Lu Yan was just following the development of the script.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Lu Yan shook his head secretly.
“Maybe I’m worrying too much.”
He Dongsheng, who had taken advantage of his status to gain some credit, patted Lu Yan on the shoulder and said in amazement:
“I thought I was here to help you out, but I never thought I would receive your favor and get the credit for uncovering the evil demon.
You have achieved such a great feat, why are you so sad? “
Lu Yan looked at He Dongsheng with some surprise.
“Although this matter involves the evil spirits of the outside world, in the final analysis, the only ones affected are Mo Yangzi and the three members of the Xiao family of Qingwu Sect. They are all in the Jindan stage and are not considered big shots.
How could you, the main descendant of the clan, care about such a contribution?”
He Dongsheng looked shocked: “Don’t you know the rules of each sect for dealing with heretics and demons?”
“What system?” Lu Yan was a little curious.
He had heard of the name of the evil heretic before, but when he was a casual cultivator, he only thought that the evil heretic was just another name for the evil cultivators.
It was not until later when I learned about version invasion that I realized that the essence of the evil demons was version invasion. They came from outside this world, so they were called heretics.
But Lu Yan knew nothing about other relevant information.
He Dongsheng glanced at the Jindan Zhenren around him who were all listening with their ears perked up, waved his hand and flew towards the depths of the sect with Lu Yan.
“It’s not convenient here, let’s talk about it on the way.”
After the two of them flew away from the crowd, He Dongsheng took the initiative to speak:
“The evil demons of the heterodox sects are extremely harmful. Since the beginning of historical records, this world has encountered countless invasions by evil demons of the heterodox sects. One of them affected an area of tens of thousands of miles and even led to the destruction of two orthodox sects of the Xuanmen sect.
Whether it is the orthodox Xuanmen or the upper sect of the Demonic Path, they are all committed to nipping all external evil demons in the bud. Any traces of external evil demons will be taken seriously by all major sects.
Brother Lu’s revelation of this matter involves three Jindan Zhenren from the ten major sects, which is no longer a small matter.
When the Dao Lord above investigates this matter, at least he can get a great merit for exterminating demons, which can be exchanged for treasures in the Xuanmen Orthodox Sect and the Demonic Sect’s Exchange List for Outer Daos.”
“It is said that the list of heretics contains precious inheritances that lead directly to the transformation of gods, mysterious magical skills that are comparable to the magical powers of the earthly demons, and even several magical treasures that can transform gods.
As long as one has enough merit in eliminating demons, even the sect-protecting methods of the orthodox Xuanmen and the upper sect of the demonic path can be exchanged for them.
Of course, a treasure like this requires far more than just the power of demon exorcism.
But according to estimates, one demon-killing skill can at least be exchanged for a Nascent Soul-level skill, or a fourth-level immortal cultivation skill.”
Hearing He Dongsheng’s explanation, Lu Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Searching for evil demons is extremely difficult for others, but it is not a problem at all for Lu Yan. After all, he is carrying the source of the invasion of a version on his body.
In comparison, Lu Yan was more concerned about what he could get in exchange for his great achievement of eliminating demons.
“If even the sect-protecting method can be exchanged, there is a high probability that the subsequent methods of the Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra can be exchanged, and the hidden dangers of the subsequent exercises can be solved.
In addition, the demon-slaying merit earned this time can be exchanged for a fourth-level formation inheritance to make up for the shortcomings of the underworld’s deduced formation.
By then, after resolving the chaos at the Xuanpin Gate, all the Yin soldiers will be promoted to the foundation-building stage, and with the fourth-level formation inheritance, a new underworld battle formation can be deduced. It may not be impossible to fight against Yuanying Zhenjun!”
Just as Lu Yan was excited, he and He Dongsheng had arrived at an island floating in the air.
Slowly landing on the suspended island, He Dongsheng put away the cynical smile on his face and saluted solemnly towards the depths of the island.
“Master, I have brought Lu Yan here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yan felt that the space in front of him was changing, and his vision was distorted in the changing space.
When the scene before him stabilized again, Lu Yan found himself next to a spiritual pond deep in the Hanging Island.
In the center of the spirit pond, a handsome young man with a white face and no beard, wearing a Taoist robe, was sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform in the center of the spirit pond.
He did not show any fluctuation of magical power, just like an ordinary person.
But in Lu Yan’s spiritual perception that was undergoing supreme transformation, the young man in front of him seemed to have merged into this world.
It is not that he stands in the heaven and earth, but that the heaven and earth themselves flow and breathe in his body.
He is the manifestation of this world.
He stared at Lu Yan quietly, and spoke slowly in a soft tone:
“Little friend.”
When Lu Yan heard these two words, his hair stood on end.
“I seem to have seen your eyes before.”
