Xuanxia

Chapter 844 Lawlessness
It seems like many years have passed.

Qi Duan sat on the top of a high mountain, gazing at the boundless land below, and once again recalled the past in his mind.

It should have been a very ordinary and common inner sect examination.

So many people in Wuliang Taiji Palace have participated in the inner gate assessment. It is just a very basic test of one's character. It is difficult, but for those who truly embark on the practice, it is nothing.

But why, why did I see that despairing secret...

"start!"

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him!
Qi exhaled lightly and stood up.

Many years have passed, but somehow he still looks like the same young boy he was back then.

His red hair was flying and his face was childish, but what he was wearing was no longer a Taoist robe, but a tattered suit covered with bloodstains. His cloak was even dyed red with blood and fluttered in the wind.

He turned around.

Countless figures appeared on the mountain road behind him.

These people were murderous and aggressive, and it was clear that they had no good intentions.

"start!"

The leader, a bearded old man, glared angrily, "You stole my Nine Veins Mountain secret book and killed and injured my disciples, and you still don't want to be punished!"

After this first question, voices of condemnation were heard all around.

"Qi! You destroyed my mountain gate, injured my master, and stole my sect's treasure book! Today is the day you die!"

"You are a fake Taoist priest who is lawless and deserves death!"

"Death!"

"Execute!"

Countless voices flooded in, but Qi remained unmoved.

His eyes looked a little vicissitudes, and he swept his gaze calmly over the crowd, and said calmly: "Where is Wuliang Taiji Palace? Is anyone coming?"

"Infinite Heavenly Lord..."

A grand and old voice rang out from the back of the crowd: "This person is a traitor in my palace. He should be taken in by my Wuliang Taiji Palace and given an explanation to his peers all over the world."

The crowd naturally moved aside, and a group of Taoist priests came over.

The leader was an old Taoist priest who was tall and majestic like a god. Behind him followed a group of Taoist priests. Each of them had a divine light in their eyes and was intimidating without being angry. It was obvious that they were all accomplished practitioners.

Seeing them, Qi smiled slightly.

"It was Master Xuanfeng who came in person."

He bowed slightly to the old Taoist priest and said, "Disciple Qi, I greet you, uncle."

"Humph, you don't deserve it!"

Xuan Feng Zhenren snorted coldly, "You betrayed your master and committed a great sin. I am not worthy of being called your uncle! It was I who brought you back to Wuliang Taiji Palace. Today, I will subdue you with my own hands!"

Having said that, he attacked without hesitation.

This move was so powerful that it shook the world!

The power of heaven and earth condensed into a giant sword, falling from the sky and crashing towards Qi's head!

Qi remained calm and raised one hand with his palm facing the sky.

The tip of the sword fell and touched his palm, but it could not move forward an inch!
With a loud bang, he just used his bare palm to block the giant swords as big as several buildings!
Looking at Qi's hand again, it was shining with golden light, as if it was painted with gold.

"Mirinji Golden Body Technique!"

someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Xuan Feng Zhenren's expression became even more gloomy: "Evil creature! Wuliang Taiji Palace disciples, listen to my order! Capture this man, regardless of life or death!"

"Yes!"

All the Taoists responded in unison and rushed forward.

Seeing this, countless other people on the mountain road also raised their arms and shouted!

"Go! Help! Kill him!"

"I don't believe that he can escape with so many people around!"

"Block the surroundings! Don't leave him any escape route!"

Amidst the roars, hundreds of figures suddenly flashed and pounced towards Qi.

Qi's expression remained unchanged, he just sighed: "Foolish..."

With a loud bang, the cliff on the top of the mountain where he was standing suddenly broke and collapsed.

Countless intertwined martial arts and magic skills turned into a dazzling light that instantly submerged Qi. The sky suddenly changed from sunny to cloudy, dark clouds rolled over the sky, and strong winds blew in the mountains. It could truly be said that the world changed color.

The overflowing power caused a water column a hundred feet high to explode in the distant river. The water column was also moved by someone and turned into an enormous water dragon, roaring towards them.

The sharp and powerful sword energy cut through the mountain peaks, and the splashing flames ignited the forest. The broken rocks were pulled by someone and turned into giants hundreds of feet tall and joined the battle. The increasingly violent flames also condensed into countless burning firebirds.

Despite such terrifying movements and astonishing power, Qi was still able to handle it with ease.

His methods are endless, and it seems that all the methods in the world are hidden in his heart.

"Junior Brother Qi! Stop it!"

Amidst the countless loud noises, a voice shouted in pain: "You have made too many mistakes!"

“Senior Brother Yuan…”

Qi's eyes moved slightly.

He waved his fist and smashed the fist of the huge stone man, and said loudly: "I am not wrong, you are wrong."

"Don't waste your words on him!" In the sky, Xuan Feng Zhenren said sternly, "This boy has already been possessed by a demon!"

"Possessed?"

Qi smiled sadly: "You don't even know what a demon is - countless people in this world cannot see the truth! Uncle Xuanfeng, you led me into the Gate of Wonders back then, why didn't you ask me what I saw inside?"

"It doesn't matter what you see!"

Xuan Feng Zhenren said in a shocked voice: "What you have done is already for the devil!"

The battle continued and people began to die.

Below the cliff, there were corpses with miserable deaths left behind.

But soon, the situation changed again.

In the chaos, accompanied by a loud Buddhist chant, a golden Buddha as big as a mountain rose from the ground, pushed aside the mountain, and stood not far away.

The giant Buddha has no facial features and its face is blurred, but it gives people an indescribable divinity.

Soon after, another clear and long cry was heard, and a ball of fire suddenly lit up in the originally dark sky. It was a huge firebird... No, not a firebird, but a phoenix!

It was actually a phoenix, flying down from the sky!

"The formless Buddha, the spirit witch and the divine phoenix!"

"Milun Temple and Lingwu Mountain are here too!"

“Even the powerful beings in the Wuwo God Realm have taken action!”

Amid the exclamations, Qi's expression froze slightly.

He traveled all over the world and collected countless secret books and scriptures just to get one step closer to the Way of Heaven.

The sound that I heard in the Mysterious Gate has not been heard again in all these years.

But he knew that he was not wrong.

That was the closest he had ever been to Heaven, and he was also very sure that he had heard Heaven's call for help.

But why...why hasn't He responded to me for so many years?

I have been forced into such a desperate situation. I have paid so much to help the Heavenly Dao escape from that unsolvable cycle. Why doesn't the Heavenly Dao respond to me?
die……

Qi lowered his head and looked at the people he had killed in the battle just now.

Death is nothing.

Anyway, there is still the Styx and reincarnation in this world. They will never really die and will still appear again with another identity or another name.

Just like the way of nature, it goes on and on in a never-ending cycle... like being trapped in a cage.

What I need to do is to rescue them from this cage.

This is true for everyone, from the smallest ant to the largest selfless god.

When the inner sect was tested, the first question was... How long and difficult is the path of cultivation? How can your mortal body withstand such endless tests?

What was your answer at that time?
Travel freely and unfettered by external things; only by following your heart can you go far.

In this case, what does it matter if these people do not understand, are ignorant, and use their swords against each other?

I...will always save them.

A deep compassion flashed in Qi's eyes.

He let out a light breath, and divine light shone all around him!
The formless giant Buddha turned his palm to catch it, and the spirit witch divine phoenix swooped down with a long cry...

Qi, however, remained fearless and went forward to meet it!
