Xiuxian: I have an inventory

Chapter 199: A Sword Shocks the Heroes
Outside Xiao Changqing's cave.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people gathered around.

The weakest among these people are all fake elixir real people, and more than half of them are cultivators who have formed golden elixir.

All the real people living in the third-level caves near the main peak of Liyang Fairy City came here as soon as possible.

The strong and terrifying evil power just now, even though it was only a quick glimpse and quickly disappeared, still made everyone terrified.

"City Lord Gu, what happened to Fellow Daoist Xiao just now? Did something go wrong with his cultivation?"

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Xiao is an evil cultivator? Or is he cultivating some evil magical power and embarking on an evil path? The aura he had just now is not like that of a righteous cultivator like me."

"No, no, no, it's not an evil cultivator, but an evil spirit's aura! Although I have never encountered an evil spirit myself, I did see a cultivator possessed by an evil spirit many years ago. The aura on his body is exactly the same as the aura transmitted from Daoist Fellow Xiao's cave just now!"

"The most important thing is, why is the aura emitted from Fellow Daoist Xiao's cave so strong? Even though I am far away, I am still shocked! Even when the old city lord was here, the aura was not so terrifying!"

"Yes, yes! My disciple, who is in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, was seriously injured in the soul by the terrifying pressure just now!"

Most of the real people present had no idea what was going on.

The exploration of the ruins by Xiao Changqing and his two companions a few months ago was not publicized to the outside world.

Later, the evil spirit was accidentally solved by Xiao Changqing, so there was no need to tell the story separately.

"Everyone, please stay away!"

Gu Zongyuan's face was full of caution and regret, and he immediately ordered his men to activate the mountain protection formation.

Of course he knew what the evil power was, but he didn't expect that Xiao Changqing had clearly said a few months ago that he had gotten rid of the evil spirit. He also personally checked and observed that there was no trace of the evil spirit on Xiao Changqing's body. How come it suddenly broke out again after a few months?

Gu Zongyuan did not doubt that Xiao Changqing was lying to him.

In his opinion, the most likely possibility was that Xiao Changqing had also been bewitched by the evil spirit.

He thought he had gotten rid of the evil spirit, but in fact the evil spirit was secretly sneaking through the plank road, and was not really killed, but hiding in his body!
"I was careless! I should have been more cautious and observed more carefully!"

For a moment, Gu Zongyuan didn't know what to do.

What should I do if I enter the cave and see that Xiao Changqing is really possessed by the evil spirit, or if the evil woman in white has revived again?
The situation will be worse than it was a few months ago!

Because we are now in Liyang Fairy City. If the evil breaks out, how many people will suffer?
Although this is the main peak of the Liyang Mountains and there is a mountain protection formation to suppress it, Gu Zongyuan did not have much confidence that he could subdue the evil female demon in white.

The strongest defense of the mountain protection formation of Liyang Mountain is only at the top level of the third order. It cannot withstand the attack of the Nascent Soul True Lord level if it has not reached the fourth order.

The evil aura of the woman in white has reached the level of Yuanying Zhenjun!
What's more, the evil woman in white is still inside the mountain protection formation, and he wants to kill her instead of defending!
Gu Zongyuan took a deep breath and temporarily put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind.

No matter what, as the lord of Liyang Immortal City, he has to figure out what is going on.

If the evil female demon in white really reappeared, even if he could not kill her, he would have to use the mountain protection formation to delay it for as long as possible to buy time for the countless cultivators in Liyang Fairy City to evacuate.

Just when Gu Zongyuan was about to forcibly break the defensive formation of Xiao Changqing's cave and check the situation inside.

The formation of the cave was removed on its own initiative.

Xiao Changqing stepped out, followed by the Lin sisters who were obviously also injured in spirit and soul.

"Such a big formation?"

Xiao Changqing looked at the dozen Taoists outside and felt a little headache. He said embarrassedly, "Don't be so nervous. I made a mistake in my practice just now and affected you Taoists. I'm really sorry. If anyone of you suffers any loss because of my mistake just now, I will bear the responsibility."

The evil power just exploded, although it only lasted for a brief moment, but it was after all a pressure comparable to that of True Lord Yuanying. The fact that the Lin sisters fell into a coma was a clue to this.

It is estimated that all cultivators on the main peak of the Liyang Mountains whose cultivation is below the Jindan stage will suffer some injuries.

This was the result of his momentary curiosity and carelessness, and Xiao Changqing felt a little embarrassed.

Just as Xiao Changqing was about to step out of the cave and explain in detail to everyone, the mountain protection formation of the main peak of Liyang Mountain was immediately activated, and the powerful force of coercion immediately formed an invisible cage around him.

Xiao Changqing looked at the scene helplessly.

He knew that he was suspected again.

It's understandable. If it were him, he would also be suspicious, and even more suspicious.

"Brother Xiao, please forgive me. For the safety of the entire Liyang Fairy City, I have to let you stay in the cave temporarily." Gu Zongyuan said with a stiff face.

Many fake Dan and Jindan real people who didn't know the inside story looked at this scene in shock.

The Lord of the Ancient City actually used a mountain protection formation to suppress Fellow Daoist Xiao?
Aren’t the two of them very close? Isn’t City Lord Gu even willing to let Fellow Daoist Xiao be the deputy city lord?

As a result, just because Brother Xiao made some mistakes in his training, they used Li Yang Immortal City’s strongest trump card and imprisoned him with a mountain protection formation?
The Lin sisters were surprised and a little angry when they saw this.

Sister Lin Zixi couldn't help but speak up for him: "Master, why is the ancient city lord like this? On what basis does he restrict your movements and prevent us from leaving the cave? But they, the master and the disciples, begged you not to leave and to stay in Liyang Immortal City for thirty years."

The Lin sisters also knew about the agreement between Xiao Changqing and Master Li Yang.

Today, their master accidentally went astray during his practice and caused some damage, so the Lord of Ancient City turned against him?
Today, the sisters were accidentally hurt by the aura leaked by their master, but they did not have any complaints.

Xiao Changqing waved his hands. The Lin sisters and the other group of true people didn't know what was going on, so it was normal for them to be confused.

"Brother Gu, what do you want me to do to trust me?" Xiao Changqing asked, feeling the restraining power of the formation around him.

Gu Zongyuan said with a serious face, "Brother Xiao, you shouldn't ask me this question, but you should ask it to yourself. How can I trust you?"

Xiao Changqing nodded and said, "I understand. I really have to do something to make you believe me, Brother Gu."

Then he continued to walk out of the cave. When he reached the confinement barrier set up by Gu Zongyuan using the power of the formation, he shot out a magic power and felt the power of the confinement.

It is very strong, almost reaching the limit of the third order.

Most cultivators in the late Jindan stage are almost unable to break this restraining force.

Perhaps only a top-level master like Li Yang who has achieved perfect elixir formation can break the shackles.

If it were in the past, Xiao Changqing would not be able to break through the confinement of the mountain protection formation even if he tried his best.

But it's different now.

Although the clone could not drill deep into space and could not get in touch with the plane of the evil base camp, his control over the power of space was real. Even if it was just the most crude use, a very small part of the power of space, it made an essential difference.

Even if it's just a flutter in space, most Yuanying Zhenjun can't do it.

and so.

This tiny bit of spatial force has a dimensionality-reducing effect on this third-level formation.

After feeling the restraining force of the mountain protection formation, Xiao Changqing looked up at the sky with a smile and said, "Brother Gu, watch out..."

Under Gu Zongyuan's puzzled gaze, Xiao Changqing leaped forward and, in an incredible way, passed through the confinement of the mountain protection formation without any hindrance.

The barrier that could block a cultivator in the late Jindan stage seemed to have no effect on Xiao Changqing, and he treated it as nothing!

Gu Zongyuan's eyes widened with inexplicable fear in his heart. He subconsciously controlled the mountain protection formation, trying to mobilize all his strength to encircle and intercept Xiao Changqing.

Unfortunately it still doesn't work.

No matter how domineering and powerful the mountain protection formation was, it was like a feather when it fell on Xiao Changqing, without any blocking power.

"This is……"

Gu Zongyuan didn't have time to think about why it was so strange. Xiao Changqing had completely passed through the restriction, soared into the air, and came in front of Gu Zongyuan and many real people.

Then the Yuqingming Sword emerged. After Xiao Changqing urged the second clone to form a pill, a sky full of starlight and countless sword qi emerged, densely packed like a cloud of sword qi pressing down on everyone's head!
For a moment, no one dared to move. They stood there like a fool, looking at Xiao Changqing with slightly dull eyes.

Even Su Wushuang, who was in the middle stage of Jindan, felt his eyes tighten suddenly and he felt a heavy pressure on his chest.

The power of Xiao Changqing's sword is much stronger than it was ten years ago!

If we say that ten years ago, Xiao Changqing's sword energy could only be at the middle stage of Jindan, slightly better than her, but not reaching the late stage of Jindan.

Even though the sword today was ready to strike and did not actually fall, it still exerted a strong pressure on Su Wushuang.

This is definitely a power that has reached the late Jindan level!

Among all the people present, Su Wushuang is the one with the strongest cultivation strength. If she feels the same, let alone the others.

Even if Gu Zongyuan could control the mountain protection formation, it would be of little use.

Because Xiao Changqing was in the mountain protection formation, the power he mobilized was unable to restrain Xiao Changqing. If he wanted to fight, he could only rely on his own strength.

Naturally, his strength is not worth mentioning in this sky of sword energy.

"If I really am an evil spirit and want to kill people, it should be easy now, right?"

Xiao Changqing looked at Gu Zongyuan and Su Wushuang. Only these two people understood what he said.

Seeing the two of them nodding with their eyes wide open, expressing their approval of what he said, Xiao Changqing smiled, dispersed the sword energy in the sky, and put away the Yuqingming Sword.

His purpose in doing this was simple: to show that he had the ability to kill people.

If he is really possessed by evil spirits, or is affected by evil spirits and loses his mind, no one can stop him in Liyang Fairy City.

Even this group of Jindan and Jiadan Zhenren, or the mountain protection formation on the main peak of Liyang Mountain Range, were useless to him.

But when he had the power to break everything, he did not start a massacre, which means there was no evil in him.

The evil power that just erupted was just an accident. Something went wrong in his practice.

"call……"

Gu Zongyuan heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Xiao Changqing with a slightly awkward look in his eyes, but he soon scratched his head and became happy, and explained shamelessly: "Brother Xiao, you should be a big man and don't bear grudges, right? The terrifying evil power that erupted here just now was like a replay of the scene a few months ago, and this place is still in Liyang Immortal City. I have to be careful and responsible for the safety of the lives of the cultivators in the entire immortal city. After all, if there is such a terrifying evil spirit in Liyang Immortal City, the consequences are simply unimaginable..."

Xiao Changqing waved his hand: "Okay, I understand."

Su Wushuang didn't know what she was thinking. Although her face was still cold, her eyes showed a lot of brilliance when she looked at Xiao Changqing. She said, "Should I congratulate Brother Xiao for turning a disaster into a blessing? Because you killed the evil spirit, your strength has improved a lot..."

This woman is really smart and has a vicious vision.

Through the cause and effect relationship, he inferred that he had benefited greatly in the process of killing the evil spirits.

Indeed.

Putting aside the fact that he almost entered the evil realm just now, his gains this time were indeed enormous.

In addition to mastering a trace of spatial power, which enabled him to protect himself when facing many Yuanying Zhenjun, the magic power of his second clone is now far greater than the magic power stored and converted by the Longevity Stone before!
The magical power of the clone has reached that of a cultivator in the late Jindan stage!

That's why I used the magic power of my clone just now to activate the Star-Picking Sword Technique. The power of the sword energy increased dramatically compared to before, far surpassing before.

In fact, what he showed to everyone was that he had restrained himself a little and did not give his all.

Now he can be said to be truly invincible below the Nascent Soul stage!

If Master Li Yang returns and fails to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, then Xiao Changqing can call him 'Xiao Li'!

Not to mention, there is also the top-level magical power of Nightmare Reincarnation, which can allow one to travel through the heavens and all realms. Xiao Changqing is unable to use it now.

"In another two years, when I have formed my golden elixir, I will no longer be afraid of anyone or any sect in the Great Yu Immortal Cultivation World."

"At that time, no matter how the situation changes, no matter how treacherous it is, I can sit back and watch the clouds rise and fall, and remain calm..."

……

As Xiao Changqing broke the formation and shocked the crowd with one sword, no one complained about the evil and ominous power that Xiao Changqing had just released.

On the contrary, after Su Wushuang spoke, this group of fake dan and Jindan real people all congratulated Xiao Changqing on his breakthrough in cultivation and his great magical powers.

As for the disciples, concubines, and juniors whose spirits were injured in his own cave, he did not mention them at all, and did not require Xiao Changqing to compensate or treat them. He just pretended nothing had happened and let them solve the problem themselves.

It was also after this incident that a piece of information began to circulate among the high-level officials of Li Yang Immortal City that the person who has now replaced Li Yang Zhenren's position is his disciple Gu Zongyuan.

But in fact, the person who has replaced Master Li Yang and who must not be provoked and has the most say is Xiao Changqing.
