Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Qinglian Mountains.

On this day, the Taoist master Tianjing, who had always lived in seclusion in a cave and did not care about external affairs, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "Which Taoist friend is spying outside!"

Before the shout ended, a ray of golden light shot out from the [Yi Mu Pan Long Formation] and hit somewhere in the void outside.

Then a silver lightning and the golden light collided and dissipated separately.

After the silver lightning appeared, a young man in a silver robe also appeared in the air.

The young man in the silver robe looked very young, as if he was in his early twenties, but his temperament gave people a feeling of vicissitudes and heaviness, which felt very strange.

If an ordinary monk saw this situation, he would probably just feel a little strange.

But for Tianjing Zhenren, who had had similar experiences before, he quickly found out the reason for this strange situation happening to the other party.

The reason is very simple. The current body is not the person's original body.

In short, this is an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage who has used the art of possessing another's body!
Taoist Tianjing quickly recalled all the Yuanying stage Taoists he knew, but did not find anyone who matched the situation of the person in front of him.

In this way, it can be confirmed that the other party is definitely not a cultivator from the Tianling Realm or even the surrounding realms.

After discovering this, Master Tianjing immediately knew that this person was most likely coming for Zhou Chun.

So he quickly flew out of the range of the formation, looked at him from a distance and said in a deep voice: "What is your name? Why did you use your spiritual sense to spy on me just now?"

It turned out that he had just sensed the spiritual consciousness released by the other party and discovered that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator spying outside.

[Yi Mu Panlong Formation] is a forbidden formation that focuses more on offense and defense. It is not very good at blocking spiritual detection. If a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage also has some knowledge of formations, he can put his spiritual consciousness into the formation without alerting the cultivators inside.

This also means that if they want to launch a secret attack using spiritual consciousness, the formation will not be able to provide any help.

Therefore, this formation is almost a decoration for Nascent Soul cultivators and has no hindering effect at all.

"I am Master Kuang Lei from Leiya Valley of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and you must be Master Tian Jing, right?"

The young man in silver robe looked at Master Tianjing with a twinkling gaze, and reported his background in a low voice.

His words were heard by Zhou Chun, who had just come out of confinement after hearing the news.

Suddenly, Zhou Chun knew that his murder of Wang Jun had been exposed.

When he planned to murder Wang Jun, he was unable to erase the traces of Lei Jiao's attack, so he exposed the clue of the fourth-level Lei Jiao.

Fortunately, later on, True Man Kuang Lei stepped on a thunder in the Black Mist Lake, and his physical body was destroyed and his Nascent Soul was severely damaged. This led to the closure of the Leiya Valley, and there was no time to investigate and track this matter.

But from the perspective of Master Kuang Lei, whether it was the murder of his beloved bloodline descendant, or the destruction of his own body as a result, this hatred was irreconcilable!

Therefore, after his injuries stabilized, he mobilized his connections to investigate the murderer.

In the previous beast tide, Zhou Chun showed his prowess again and killed more than a dozen fourth-level monsters in a row.

Such an outstanding achievement was naturally widely circulated in the circle of high-level cultivators, and it was not surprising that it was spread to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

As a hero who must be mentioned in Zhou Chun's outstanding achievements, Lei Jiao Baibai will definitely be mentioned prominently.

In this case, after the cultivators of Leiya Valley learned about this, they would naturally report it to True Man Kuanglei.

So now that Master Kuang Lei has come to visit, the reason and purpose are very simple.

When Zhou Chun thought of this, he felt relieved.

Fortunately, after the great beast tide ended, he was tied to the chariot by Master Tianjing. Now, facing Master Kuang Lei who came to call for punishment, he can only rely on Master Tianjing to take the blame!

He quickly communicated with Master Tianjing to explain the grudge between himself and Master Kuanglei, and asked for his help in getting rid of Master Kuanglei.

Of course, he also knew that if Zhenren Tianjing were to confront a Zhenren in the Nascent Soul stage for no reason, the latter would definitely not want to.

Therefore, after he finished his request, he also said meaningfully: "If you can send this Kuang Lei Zhenren away, I may have a method to help you get rid of the shackles!"

Sure enough, Master Tianjing, who was originally indifferent to Zhou Chun’s request, was also shocked after hearing his suggestive words.

He immediately couldn't help but turn his head back, forgetting that he was still inside the formation, and said in a slightly excited tone: "Are you serious? Do you know what kind of restraints I am in?"

In such excitement at this moment, he no longer denied that he was not free.

When Zhou Chun heard his excited tone, he immediately knew that he had made the right move.

He immediately responded, "Senior, please understand. Although I don't know why you are bound, my method can help people get rid of most of the restrictions on their souls!"

Hearing his words, Tianjing Zhenren's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, and he said in a firm and powerful voice: "Okay, I will trust you for now, and we will discuss this matter after I send this person away!"

After saying this, he looked at the Kuang Lei Zhenren opposite him and said in a deep voice: "So it is Brother Kuang Lei, but Brother Kuang Lei has rashly come to spy on me, what is your intention?"

"Fellow Daoist Tianjing, do you really not know the purpose of my visit? If you don't know, just call Zhou Zhengchun out and you will know!"

There was a gleam in Master Kuang Lei's eyes, and he responded in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately flew out of the [Yi Mu Pan Long Formation], then bowed slightly to Master Kuang Lei and said, "Junior Zhou Zhengchun, greetings to Master Kuang Lei."

Then he asked, "I wonder why Senior Kuang Lei came all the way from the Great Zhou Kingdom to my Jing Kingdom to look for me?"

"Are you Zhou Zhengchun?"

Master Kuang Lei took a look at Zhou Chun, then said calmly: "I heard that you have a fourth-level thunder dragon, why don't you call it out for me to see!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately shook his head and said, "That's really unfortunate. My pet consumed a spiritual object a few days ago and is now in seclusion to digest the power of the spiritual object. I'm afraid it's not easy to call it out to meet you, senior!"

"you are lying!"

Master Kuang Lei's face darkened, and he looked at Zhou Chun with a fierce look in his eyes and said coldly: "Since you dare not call that beast out to confront me, it seems that the murderer who killed Jun'er is you. You are so brave!!"

Before he finished his words, a silver lightning bolt flew out from his sleeve and leaped towards Zhou Chun.

But Master Tianjing had already prepared for his sudden attack.

As soon as he made a move, Master Tianjing had already arranged protection and intercepted the silver lightning.

It was actually a silver long cone magic weapon, of top grade!

Seeing the magic weapon being intercepted by Master Tianjing, Master Kuanglei immediately looked at Master Tianjing angrily and asked, "Daoyou Tianjing, what do you mean? Are you going to protect this boy and make him my enemy?"

"That's right!"

Tianjing Zhenren replied in a calm tone, expressing his attitude in just a few words.

This answer made Master Kuang Lei frown and he couldn't help but suppress his anger.

It turned out that his appearance just now was also a disguise, trying to scare off Tianjing Zhenren with his attitude.

But now that Master Tian Jing had made up his mind to protect Zhou Chun, he knew that things were becoming difficult.

After all, this is Jingguo, and he, True Man Kuang Lei, is not a casual cultivator without a family sect.

If they were determined to embarrass Zhou Chun under the protection of Master Tianjing, even if he succeeded, Master Tianjing's revenge would make them in Leiya Valley very uncomfortable!
This consequence forced him to think twice before acting.

He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Master Tianjing and said, "As far as I know, Fellow Daoist Tianjing has no relatives or friends with the Zhou family, and they don't have a particularly deep relationship. Why would you become an enemy of me just for a mere brat?"

At this point, he gritted his teeth and said, "How about this, if Fellow Daoist Tianjing can let me kill this boy, I will owe you a favor, and I will not take any of his treasures. How about giving them all to you?"

Since he came all the way to Jingguo to cause trouble for Zhou Chun, he must have collected relevant intelligence.

It is clear that before Master Tianjing had transformed his elixir and formed an infant, he had no interactions or deep friendship with the Zhou family.

Even before entering the Qinglian Mountains, there had been no news of any in-depth cooperation or exchanges between the two forces.

It was because he had found out all this that he came directly to the outside of Qinglian Mountains and used his spiritual sense to spy on the situation inside.

According to his own judgment, after he revealed his origins and methods, he also showed his determination. He should be Tianjing Zhenren who was cooperating with the Zhou family to take over the Qinglian Mountains. It is very likely that he would not become his enemy for Zhou Chun.

Even if he helped Master Tianjing to kill Zhou Chun, it might be more advantageous for the other party to completely swallow up the Zhou family.

So in his mind, he would act as a bad guy, launch a surprise attack, and then Master Tianjing would pretend that he was unable to stop him and would chase him in a rage afterwards. It would just be a show.

However, he never expected that Master Tianjing would make it so clear that he would protect Zhou Chun, which was completely different from his idea.

As a result, he had no choice but to change his strategy according to local conditions and grit his teeth and give up a favor in exchange for Master Tianjing standing idly by.

However, what Master Kuang Lei did not expect was that even though he had already given in, Master Tianjing actually refused without any hesitation.

I saw that Tianjing Zhenren looked at him sternly and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Kuanglei, please be careful with your words! This old man and Little Friend Zhou hit it off right away. Now you are the guest and supreme elder of the Zhou family. If you continue to instigate the relationship between this old man and Little Friend Zhou, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

These powerful words also made Master Kuang Lei stunned and a little confused.

Could it be that he really guessed wrong? Was the relationship between Tianjing Zhenren and Zhou Chun really so close that they were like master and disciple?

This thought flashed through his mind, and then he really became angry.

No matter what the relationship between Tianjing Zhenren and Zhou Chun is, this statement now is undoubtedly a betrayal of his "good intentions".

In that case, don't blame him for being rude!

He immediately sneered and said, "Well, well, since Fellow Daoist Tianjing is so protective of me, let me experience your magical powers!"

As he said this, he raised his hand and summoned his own magical weapon, the [Thousand Thunder Bottle].

The silver treasure bottle was seen floating in the air, and under the urging of Master Kuang Lei, silver lightning transformed into various forms of lightning monsters and pounced towards Master Tianjing.

Although the same magic weapon is of the highest grade, it has two completely different meanings in the hands of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage and in the hands of a cultivator in the Golden Core stage.

The cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage have profound magical powers, and can activate top-grade magic weapons to produce continuous and extraordinary bursts.

Even if a cultivator in the late Jindan stage could unleash the full power of a top-grade magic weapon, it would be difficult for him to sustain the outburst for several rounds.

Zhou Chun looked at the various lightning monsters, such as Thunder Peng, Thunder Dragon, Thunder Tiger, etc., that were transformed from lightning. The feeling that each one gave him was not much worse than himself when he activated the [Tiangang Thunder Sword] to transform into a lightning sword dragon.

But even with this kind of attack, Master Kuang Lei launched it more than a dozen times!
This shows how big the gap is between the two sides' magical powers!

Facing the fierce attack of Master Kuanglei, Master Tianjing asked Zhou Chun to retreat back into the [Yi Mu Panlong Formation] while activating his own life-saving magic weapon to fight back.

There was a golden mirror in front of him, and golden light flashed continuously, emitting rays of golden light towards the thunder and lightning monsters. Each ray of golden light could defeat a thunder and lightning monster, and the monster broke into tiny pieces of lightning and fell to the ground.

At the same time, the black dragon scales on his puppet's body suddenly emitted black light, and soon formed a layer of light film with a metallic luster that protected him.

True Man Kuang Lei displayed a kind of thunder-attributed magical power that he had cultivated, and suddenly condensed a lightning spear and shot it towards True Man Tianjing Cave.

However, the lightning spear was smashed into pieces by a punch from the puppet body of Tianjing Zhenren!

After the Nascent Soul moved into this fifth-order puppet body, Tianjing Zhenren's explosive power became stronger than before, but his endurance and recovery ability were far inferior to those of a Nascent Soul cultivator with a physical body.

He himself was very aware of this, so once he attacked, he would hold back no effort and had no intention of fighting for a long time.

At this moment, a punch shattered the lightning spear condensed by Master Kuang Lei. He immediately let out a long roar, and a black spiritual light emerged from his body, gathering on his arms, and then he swung it with all his strength.

Suddenly, two jet-black spiritual lights transformed into two jet-black dragons and flew towards Master Kuang Lei.

After his spiritual sense sensed the terrifying power contained in the two black dragons, True Man Kuang Lei did not dare to be negligent. He immediately let out a low roar, and lightning surged around his body, forming a ball of lightning that protected him.

At the same time, two lightning dragons flew out from the lightning ball and headed towards the two black dragons.

As a result, after the four dragons collided, the two thunder and lightning dragons were easily defeated by the black magic dragon and turned into scattered thunder and lightning, and then they pounced on the thunder and lightning ball together.

Suddenly, a dazzling silver lightning flashed rapidly, and after holding off the two black dragons for less than two breaths, the lightning ball was finally defeated and scattered!
Fortunately, the real person Kuang Lei inside saw that the situation was not good and used the thunder escape technique in time to avoid being strangled by the two black dragons.

However, this retreat showed that he was undoubtedly slightly inferior to Master Tianjing in strength.

Therefore, although he avoided being injured, he did not look happy at all.

Of course, it is impossible to expect him to stop just because of a slight mistake!

He quickly formed seals with his hands, and silver lightning shot out from his hands and quickly gathered into a silver lightning ball in front of him.

Then he sprayed a mouthful of his own vital energy onto the silver thunder ball. The silver thunder ball immediately flashed with lightning, and silver talismans faintly appeared inside.

"go with!"

As he raised his hand and pointed at Tianjing Master, the huge silver thunder ball like a wheel suddenly flashed and cut through the sky and appeared in front of Tianjing Master. It was so fast that it was impossible to dodge!

Rumble!
As a thunderous explosion sounded, the entire Qinglian Mountains could clearly see the silver lightning bursting out in the sky.

The aftermath of the wave that fell on the Zhou family mountain gate not far away caused the green dragon transformed by the [Yi Mu Pan Long Formation] to shrink rapidly, as if it would break at any time!
Seeing this scene, all the Zhou family cultivators inside the mountain gate changed their expressions drastically, with fear in their eyes.

Normally, when Yuanying stage cultivators fight, they will tacitly go to the blue sky above to carry out the fight. That way, even if there are residual waves, after being slowly released by the strong wind above, they will not affect the low-level cultivators below.

But Master Kuang Lei came this time with the intention of destroying the entire family, so naturally he would not intend to abide by this tacit rule.

If they could use the aftermath of the fight to break down the Zhou family's mountain gate and kill all the members of the Zhou family, it would obviously be a great thing.

Naturally, Master Tianjing also discovered this very quickly.

When he rushed out of the explosion center in a somewhat embarrassed state, he looked at the Yimu Panlong Formation that was swaying in the aftermath of the attack, and immediately shouted at Master Kuanglei: "Master Kuanglei, if you dare to bully the weak again, don't blame me for going to Thunder Cliff Valley to fight you in the future!"

As he spoke, he headed straight up to the ninth heaven of the blue sky.

After being threatened by him, Master Kuang Lei's expression changed slightly, and he could only helplessly follow him and fly up to the ninth heaven of the blue sky.

“Huh, they finally left. Is this how powerful a Yuanying-stage cultivator is? The aftermath of the battle alone is enough to overwhelm a Jindan-stage cultivator!”

Inside the Zhou family mountain gate, Zhou Mingde let out a long sigh of relief with a look of relief on his face, his eyes filled with fear and awe.

It was also the first time for him to experience the fighting between Yuanying stage monks at such a close distance. He felt that compared with the Yuanying stage monks, he was like a chicken in front of a lion. Although he could jump a few times, he could easily be slapped to death!

As for cultivators below the Jindan stage, they are really no different from ants.

Zhou Chun appeared to be quite calm. After all, he had seen a lot of the world and had dealt with Nascent Soul cultivators many times.

At this time, he just whispered: "Senior Tianjing should be able to force the True Man Kuanglei to retreat, but if the family cultivators go to the Great Zhou Kingdom in the future, they must be careful and cautious and not reveal their identities!"

The cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage are all intimidated by each other. As long as True Man Kuang Lei cannot defeat True Man Tianjing today, he will not be able to take action against Zhou Chun and the Zhou family in Jingguo.

Not even in private!

If he dared to do so, Master Tianjing would go to the Great Zhou Kingdom to ambush the Jindan-stage cultivator of the Wang family of Leiya Valley.

But if Zhou Chun left Jingguo, or the Zhou family cultivators left Jingguo, they would no longer be within the scope of this protection.

Zhou Chun himself is very powerful and has many means of disguise, so he is not too worried about himself. He is just afraid that other cultivators in the Zhou family may accidentally expose their identities and be assassinated by the cultivators of Leiya Valley.

"Don't worry, Zhengchun. After this incident, I will warn all the cultivators in the clan to be careful of the hostile force of Leiya Valley!"

Zhou Mingde nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

During the next half hour, the roar of the battle between the two Nascent Soul cultivators in the Nine Skies of Bixiao continued incessantly, shaking all the birds and beasts in the Qinglian Mountains so much that they hid in their nests and trembled, not daring to make a sound.

It was not until half an hour later that the roar finally stopped, and it seemed that the fight had come to an end.

Not long after, Zhenren Tianjing, whose body was covered with lightning burns and even with dragon scales falling off in some areas, returned to Qinglian Peak.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Mingde immediately looked worried, thinking that he had lost the battle.

Unexpectedly, he quickly looked at Zhou Chun and said, "I have already driven away that Kuang Lei Zhenren. After today's battle, he should not dare to come to Jingguo to act wildly and recklessly again!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Mingde's face suddenly brightened up, and Zhou Chun's slightly tense expression also relaxed.

Zhou Chun immediately bowed to Tianjing Zhenren and said, "Thank you very much, senior, for helping me resolve this disaster. I will never forget your kindness!"

"Yes, yes, the Zhou family is eternally grateful for Senior Tianjing's kindness and will never forget it!"

Zhou Mingde also responded and bowed to express his gratitude.

However, Master Tianjing did not express any thanks to the two. He just stared at Zhou Chun and said, "I have done what I should do. Now it is your turn to fulfill your promise, little friend Zhou!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately nodded and said, "Of course, senior, please follow me to the quiet room for a chat."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and led Master Tianjing to a quiet room.

When there were only two people left in the quiet room, Zhou Chun simply raised his hand and slapped the storage bag on his waist, and took out the ghost face token made from the fifth-level soul-nourishing wood.

Then he handed it to Tianjing Zhenren and said, "To be honest, Senior, the method I used to help you break free is actually the method of ghost cultivation recorded here. If you are willing to become a ghost cultivator, I think most of the restrictions on your soul will no longer be able to restrain you!"

"Ghost cultivation method? I didn't expect you to have such a legacy!"

Zhenren Tianjing looked at Zhou Chun in surprise, then raised his hand to take the ghost face token and checked the ghost cultivation inheritance inside.

He is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. Relying on the magic of the Nascent Soul, he does not need to practice magic skills like Zhou Chun did in the past in order to check the inheritance in the Ghost Face Token.

Not long after, he read through all the ghost cultivation inheritance in the ghost face token, and then said in a low voice: "This ghost cultivation inheritance is indeed quite unique, and it is worth it for me to take action today!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and put the ghost face token in his hand into the storage bag, with no intention of returning it to Zhou Chun.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun's eyelids twitched slightly, but he finally chose to agree.

After putting away the Ghost Face Token, Master Tianjing went straight back to the mountain where he lived in seclusion without saying anything more.
