The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 196 This time, Dao Ye is guaranteed to win!
Just as Master Xuanzhen finished speaking, a fierce wind arose outside Longhu Mountain.

A huge black shadow appeared in an instant and landed directly on Longhu Mountain.

A figure landed on the back of a black roc atop the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain.

It was Zhang Tianlu who came after receiving the message from Fenglei Mountain.

After Zhang Tianlu descended from the sky and entered the Celestial Master's Mansion, the black roc demon he was riding also transformed into a black figure and descended from the sky, following behind Zhang Tianlu.

This black figure was none other than the Roc Demon King in his transformed form.

Sensing the arrival of the Celestial Master, Xuanzhen Celestial Master and the others quickly went out to greet him.

After all, the Celestial Master has arrived, so the proper etiquette must be observed.

After paying his respects to Zhang Tianlu, Xuanzhen looked at the man in black behind Zhang Tianlu.

He paused for a moment, then asked, "Ancestor, who is this?"

Xuanzhen had never seen this man in black before when he was with Zhang Tianlu, so he naturally didn't recognize him.

Hearing Xuanzhen's question, Zhang Tianlu said, "He is the Black Roc Demon King who was suppressed under the Demon Subduing Hall for two thousand years. They've been neighbors for two thousand years, don't you recognize him?"

Upon hearing these words from the Celestial Master, the Celestial Master Xuanzhen and the other Taoist priests were all astonished.

Is this guy the Black Roc Demon King?
One of the demon kings that the Celestial Master Zhang Daoling suppressed in the Demon Subduing Hall back then.

Some time ago, the Celestial Master came to the Demon Subduing Hall of Longhu Mountain to subdue demons, and when he left, he did indeed take with him a nine-thousand-year-old Peng Demon King.

But they remembered that the Peng Demon King's cultivation was only 9000 years, how could it have transformed into human form in the blink of an eye?

There are two types of demons that can take human form. One type is those who choose to give up their strength at the beginning of their cultivation and choose to take human form ahead of time.

These demons that take human form very early on are generally not very strong; in modern terms, they've just spent all their money on their appearance.

After all, when demons cultivate, maintaining their original form is definitely the strongest state in the early stages.

The most suitable time for a demonic form is actually ten thousand years later.

After demons cultivate for ten thousand years, they can freely transform into any form as long as they survive the tribulation of lightning. At that time, they can become whatever they want, and ordinary divine eyes cannot detect it.

And it can also maintain its own strength and stay at its strongest.

Therefore, truly top-tier demons disdain transforming into their original form in the early stages.

Maintaining the original form is the strongest approach.

This Roc Demon King naturally disdained to take human form ten thousand years ago.

But now he has suddenly taken human form, and when they first met, Master Xuanzhen didn't even detect a trace of demonic energy on him.

This is terrifying, after all, Master Xuanzhen is the purple-robed master of Longhu Mountain in this generation, and is blessed with divine insight.

No demon can escape his eyes; he can detect even the slightest trace of demonic energy instantly.

The fact that the Roc Demon King had no demonic aura, and that even his divine eye couldn't detect it, could only mean one thing: he had survived a ten-thousand-year tribulation of lightning.

But the key question is, how did he manage to do that in just a few months?
Clearly, he couldn't do it on his own, so these Taoist priests immediately thought of the key to the problem as the Celestial Master.

It's estimated that it was probably the Celestial Master who made the move.

Otherwise, if this black roc truly possessed such abilities, it wouldn't have been defeated by the Celestial Master Zhang Daoling over two thousand years ago.

It actually allowed a great demon that had been suppressed for over two thousand years and whose cultivation was still 1000 years behind to recover its strength and even increase its strength within a few months, thus surviving the tribulation.

This ancestor's methods are indeed unpredictable and mysterious.

Xuanzhen Celestial Master asked Ancestor Celestial Master, "Ancestor, how should we address this person?"

Now that he has taken human form, we certainly can't keep calling him Peng Demon King.

After all, a ten-thousand-year-old demon still needs to have some prestige.

We should at least give them this much face; they should at least have a name, right?
The Celestial Master said, “I call him Little Blackie, but it’s not quite appropriate for you to call him that. As for his proper name, he is below me in the generation of the Zheng generation, so let’s call him Zhang Zhengpeng.”

The Celestial Master thought to himself that it was fine for him to call him "Little Blackie" occasionally, but if the younger Taoist priests and Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain also started calling him "Little Blackie" all the time...

It's a bit inappropriate, considering the age and seniority of this Roc Demon King.

He's an old man who's lived for thousands of years, and we're following him now, so we have to give him some face.

Zhang Tianlu immediately gave him a proper name on the spot.

His Taoist name is Zhengpeng.

The Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain also bowed respectfully.

"Master Zhengpeng."

Peng Demon King heard the name that the Celestial Master had given him.

Zhang Zhengpeng shares the same surname as the Zhang family of Longhushan.

That's giving him face, and the name Zhengpeng sounds quite fitting.

In addition, the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain treated him with great respect.

Peng Demon King instantly felt pretty good.

"Fellow Daoists, I look forward to your guidance in the future."

Peng Demon King returned the greeting.

Although we were enemies before, times have changed.

Now that we're all in the same boat, and he'll be following Zhang Tianlu from now on, his attitude will naturally have to change back.

After all, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

Of course, this was just a minor incident on Longhu Mountain.

After Zhang Tianlu arrived, Xuanzhen Celestial Master also told Ancestral Celestial Master about what they had just discussed.

Xuanzhen Celestial Master asked, "Ancestor, what is your opinion on this matter?"

If we finally reach Leiyin Temple and discover that these are the problems, and if the little boy's soul has been merged, strangled, and destroyed...

In the end, all that was recovered was an empty shell. How should this matter be handled?

Since Longhu Mountain has taken charge of this matter, they will definitely have to give the couple an explanation in the end.

Although Longhushan did not commit this crime, the punishment is up to them.

We can't let Buddhism decide in the end, can we?
If the Buddhist community were to decide, the final punishment would likely be nothing more than solitary confinement or the loss of one's cultivation—a rather mild and insignificant punishment.

Can these punishments really scare those people in Buddhism?

If the justice they uphold ultimately fails to instill fear in their enemies, then such justice is meaningless.

Therefore, they must consider all aspects before taking action, so as not to make things too easy for the Buddhist community.

After listening to the question raised by Master Xuanzhen, Zhang Tianlu...

He exhaled a breath of corpse energy and then looked at all the Taoist priests present.

"What's there to say about such a simple question? If those Buddhists really crossed the red line between Heaven, Earth, and Man, then punish them one by one according to the Heavenly Laws, the laws of the human world, and the laws of the underworld. Those who should be sent to the minefield should be sent to the minefield, those who should be executed should be executed, and those whose souls should be scattered should be scattered. Is this such a difficult question?"

Hearing the Celestial Master's relaxed words, the Celestial Master Xuanzhen expressed their concern about what to do if the other party was a powerful Buddhist figure.
The Celestial Master directly stated: "A great master of Buddhism? Isn't breaking the law an even more serious crime?"
If it really is some important figure in Buddhism, that would be even better.

By crippling himself, he directly severed the left and right arms of Buddhism.

They won so badly they were completely overwhelmed!

Celestial Master: I don't know what you're worried about. Do you think the Heavenly Laws and Yin Laws are just empty words?
What's more, with me playing the carry role, Dao Ye is guaranteed to win this game.
