After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 750: You took advantage of both the supplier and the buyer, and all the benefits went to me?
The person who escaped should, without any surprise, be the liaison envoy from the new faction of the Gu God Cult in Sichuan.

Killing him is pointless. If we kill him, the Gu God Cult will just send new people, and then we'll have to investigate their identities again.

Old Huang has already memorized his appearance, so it won't be difficult to find out his identity. Keeping him alive is far better than killing him.

Moreover, this person was able to relay the news of the Divine Fire Sect's double-crossing back to the Gu God Sect. Chen Yang was somewhat looking forward to seeing what kind of expression the Gu God Sect Leader would have upon learning this news.

Chen Yang used some river water to wash the mud off the person's face. After a careful look, he realized he didn't recognize them.

This face is completely unfamiliar.

He took out his phone and took a picture, intending to go back and let Hyun Jung and the others recognize him.

There's no need to take the body back.

Troublesome and unlucky.

Even Qiangba's corpse ended up in the hands of the bone-eating beetles.

Chen Yang arrived at the spot where Qiangba had just sat. Next to the stone was a silver-white alloy safe.

The suitcase is about half the size of a regular suitcase.

This was just snatched from the two members of the Gu God Sect by Qiangba.

The Gu God Sect used it to exchange for the Heavenly Pearl with the Divine Fire Sect.

The lack of a password did not deter Chen Yang. He simply took out the Crimson Sky Sword. With his strength and the sharpness of the Crimson Sky Sword, what safe could possibly stop him?

"Shh!"

The safe was sliced ​​open like tofu.

Inside were two porcelain bottles, one large and one small.

The larger bottles are about the size of perfume bottles and have labels on them.

Three Corpse Divine Water

The Three Corpse Divine Water of the Gu God Cult.

Chen Yang tore open the bottle cap, checked the contents, and confirmed that it was indeed the Three Corpse Divine Water.

It's more than half a bottle, at least a hundred milliliters.

The other bottle was smaller, only the size of an oral liquid bottle, containing at most ten milliliters of liquid, or twenty or thirty drops.

Chen Yang was also familiar with the scent of this liquid.

Sam's juice.

Earth Core Sangmu Juice, the sap of the legendary sacred tree Fusang, is said to be even more precious than the Three Corpse Divine Water.

It is extremely beneficial to the cultivation of Dao Zhen Realm experts.

Legend has it that sam juice can not only increase lifespan, but even a single drop of it can be equivalent to several years of arduous cultivation by a Dao True Realm expert.

Of course, legends are just legends, and the claim of increasing lifespan needs to be verified, but its benefit to cultivation has been officially certified by the Three Corpse Divine Tree.

The Gu God Sect is really generous; they're willing to trade such a precious thing with the Divine Fire Sect for some spiritual energy.

Unfortunately, Chen Yang benefited in the end.

Chen Yang, that guy, he takes advantage of both parties, even the Divine Fire Sect's Heavenly Pearl. There's no reason he wouldn't want these things from the Gu God Sect.

Even if the Gu God Cult might have tampered with these things, such as the Discipline Worm.

Given the Gu God Cult's reputation, they might actually add something to these things, but Chen Yang wasn't afraid at all. They were just Discipline Worms; he had the antidote.

Chen Yang packed everything away, and the bone-eating beetle swarm had almost finished their midnight snack.

After the bone-eating beetle swarm completed its task, Chen Yang retrieved them into the insect seed bag and quickly left the scene.

……

"This Gu God Sect has quite a lot of good stuff. So much Three Corpse Divine Water, even for you, Elder Tree, it would be very harmful to your body to take out so much of it at once, right?"

On the way back to Tongjia'ao, Chen Yang chatted with the Three Corpse Divine Tree.

The Three Corpse Divine Tree hummed in agreement and said, "It seems that the Gu God Sect does indeed have a Three Corpse Tree, and its cultivation level is probably no weaker than mine. Moreover, the fact that it was able to obtain so much Sangmu juice suggests that it also controls the Sangmu Tree..."

Chen Yang thought of the map he had obtained from Xu Guanghan, which appeared to be of the Fusang Tree. Xu Guanghan was a member of the Gu God Cult, and perhaps the Gu God Cult had already located the Fusang Tree on the map...

In that case, the map in my hand seems to be of no value?

Chen Yang frowned slightly.

This Gu God Cult has quite a few good things.

……

-

In a house in Tongjia'ao.

Xuan Jing, Zhou Mingyuan, and Liu Jianguo were all present. Xuan Jing took Chen Yang's phone, examined the screen for a moment, and then handed it to Liu Jianguo.

Liu Jianguo took the phone and glanced at it. On the screen was the image of the old man who had been beaten to death by Qiangba, which Chen Yang had photographed.

Liu Jianguo frowned slightly, "Jiang Ruoyu of the Jiang family from Huangling Mountain in northern Sichuan, late-stage Spirit Realm cultivator, the head of the Huangling Sect..."

He recognized the person in the photo at a glance.

"Huangling School?"

Chen Yang's eyes flickered slightly. Huangling Mountain in northern Sichuan was one of the five gates of Panshan in Sichuan.

In the cultivation community of Panshan in Sichuan, there is a saying that there is a tree with five flowers, supported by eight leaves. The eight leaves represent the eight meridians, while the five flowers refer to the five gates of Panshan.

The five gates are Fengdu Qingniu, Guankou Qingshen, Tongjiang Tiefo, Kaixian Huangling, and Huangqi Dianyi.

To this day, Chen Yang has already contacted three of the five gates of Panshan: Qingshen Mountain, Tiefo Mountain, and Huangqi Mountain. The remaining two are Qingniu Mountain in Fengdu and Huangling Mountain in Kaixian, which he has yet to meet.

Chen Yang said, "The person who escaped had a peach-shaped red mark on his left cheek, and his cultivation level was in the mid-stage of the Creation Realm..."

"Jiang family, Jiang Mingxian."

Before Chen Yang could finish speaking, Liu Jianguo interrupted him and gave a definite answer.

Liu Jianguo said, "Huangling Mountain has three seniors at the Creation Realm. Jiang Mingxian is the strongest, at the mid-stage of the Creation Realm, and should be 105 years old now. The other two are also from the Ming generation of the Jiang family, Jiang Minglang and Jiang Mingqiu, both at the early stage of the Creation Realm, with Jiang Mingqiu having only recently entered the Creation Realm..."

"Jiang Mingxian has a peach-shaped red birthmark on his left cheek. In his younger days, he felt that his face was ugly, so he always wore a half-mask. He was even given a nickname in the martial arts world: Iron-Faced Asura..."

Iron-Faced Asura?

What a cringeworthy name.

Chen Yang's face twitched. He felt that the name Jiang Mingxian sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

He didn't interrupt Liu Jianguo and continued listening to him.

Liu Jianguo continued, "The cultivation technique practiced by the Huangling Sect is called the 'Emperor's Heart Technique.' It is said that the Jiang family ancestors comprehended this technique from the 'Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic.' However, this technique can barely reach the high level, not the top level. But Jiang Mingxian learned a sword technique from somewhere called the 'Asura Sword Technique,' which is extremely domineering. The nickname 'Iron-Faced Asura' comes from two reasons: his appearance and this sword technique..."

"When this man was sixty-five years old, he mastered the swordsmanship and cultivated the intent of the sword. To celebrate this, he held a grand banquet at Huangling Mountain, inviting guests in a very high-profile manner..."

"But after he entered the Creation Realm, he became much more reserved and less concerned about his appearance. When he appeared in public again, he rarely wore a mask..."

"A while ago, Yang Wenguang broke through to the Creation Realm. We met him once when we were having a banquet at Longtai Mountain. He even took the initiative to chat with me, talking about the current situation in Panshan Boundary in Sichuan..."

At this point, Liu Jianguo sighed somewhat, "I thought Huangling Mountain would be more stable than other forces. Heh, I didn't expect it to have already gotten mixed up with the Gu God Sect. This new liaison envoy sent by the Gu God Sect to Sichuan must be this person."

Of the five gates and eight meridians, it seems that none of them are easy to deal with now.

"The name Jiang Mingxian sounds familiar..."

Chen Yang pinched his chin. He had been thinking for a long time but couldn't remember where he had heard of it before.

Liu Jianguo said, "This person also has a nickname. Together with Gu Daoxian of the Jiangnan School in Yuzhou and Shi Jingxian, the old master of Tianmen Cave of the Thirty-Six Caves in Raojiang, the three of them are known as the Three Sages of the Southwest."

The Three Sages of Southwest China!

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately realized what was going on.

He remembered that when Chen Yang interrogated Shi Jingxian in Emei, Wang Yuanchao had mentioned this matter.

Liu Jianguo smiled, "However, these three are not the same as the virtuous ones. They don't have any reputation for being virtuous; they just have the character 'virtuous' in their names, and among their peers, they are all among the top tier..."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, not paying much attention.

Xuan Jing said, "Now that we know their identity, we should focus on them and not alert them."

"Ah."

Liu Jianguo responded.

Now that we know the other party's identity, there's no need to do anything to him.

Besides him, the Gu God Cult will definitely send others, which will make things even more complicated.

Keeping him around allows us to monitor the Gu God Cult's movements and turn a passive situation into an active one.

"How do you plan to report what happened in the mountains today?" Xuan Jing asked casually, fiddling with the Kunlun Mountain Lord Seal.

"This……"

Liu Jianguo paused, sensing a hidden meaning in Xuan Jing's words; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked this question out of the blue. "I was outside the valley at the time, and I didn't see the specifics clearly. I'll have to consult the master..." Xuan Jing stroked his chin and sighed. "Master Sangjie sacrificed himself for the cause of eliminating the demon, truly admirable. He made a great contribution in this extermination of the evil spirits. If he hadn't given his life to perish with those three wandering monks, we probably wouldn't have escaped unscathed. You must report this truthfully, without the slightest falsehood, so that the world knows that the Secret Sect also has highly accomplished masters..."

"Uh……"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianguo immediately stopped.

Is what you're describing the same thing I experienced?
Although I was far away and didn't see the specifics, I did hear Sanjay loudly cursing them to die a horrible death.

Briefly dazed.

Liu Jianguo wasn't stupid either. He had become the chairman of the association long ago, and he was a shrewd old man. After a little thought, he understood Xuan Jing's intention.

It is said that monks do not lie, but this Master Xuanjing is truly cautious in his heart but not in his speech. His main traits are cunning and capriciousness.

Xuan Jing said, "Chen Yang will tell you the specifics when you come down. Be sure to report the truth. We can't let our hero die in vain..."

That was truly heartbreaking; I almost burst into tears.

Chen Yang was speechless; this acting was truly unmatched.

"it is good."

Liu Jianguo responded and then asked, "There are several disciples of the Divine Fire Sect left behind in the village. What should we do with them?"

This time, Sangjie only brought the disciples from the Spirit Realm into the mountains; there were still about ten disciples from the Public House.

Although these disciples have not entered the spiritual realm, they have certain talents in Buddhism, that is, people with wisdom roots. Sangye brought them out this time mainly for the purpose of debating scriptures.

Although these people aren't very capable, they are all very eloquent and adept at debating scriptures.

Now that Sangjie is dead and all the disciples above the Spirit Realm have been wiped out, leaving only a few people, Liu Jianguo has no idea how to deal with them.

Xuanjing said, "Master Sangjie sacrificed his life for righteousness. Such a fearless spirit is worthy of our learning, and it is also worthy of their learning. Let's treat them to good food and drink, tell them about Master Sangjie's deeds, and find a suitable time to send them back to the Western Frontier..."

These lower-level disciples know nothing. We are Buddhists, not bloodthirsty people. Let's keep them as mouthpieces.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianguo understood the situation and immediately took his leave.

With the matter of Master You resolved, it's now up to him, the association president, to take care of the rest.

……

Xuanjing took out the contents of the Kunlun Mountain Lord's Seal.

Aside from some unknown elixirs, there was a huge pile of corpses, flesh, skeletons, and the like.

I had heard that the esoteric sects liked to use human corpses and bones to make magical artifacts, but seeing this pile of things in front of me was still quite shocking.

It's too dark.

Xuan Jing frowned and found a scroll among the pile of flesh.

The scroll was smooth and delicate, but it was unclear what kind of leather it was made of.

It was covered with densely packed Western Xinjiang characters.

Chen Yang naturally didn't recognize him.

Xuan Jing glanced at it, then shook her head, conjuring a stream of true energy from her palm that instantly turned it into dust.

"What is that?" Chen Yang was taken aback.

Xuan Jing shook her head. "Evil magic, the art of fire offering."

Oh?
Chen Yang's eyes flickered slightly. The fire offering technique was a secret method of the Divine Fire Sect.

Chen Yang had witnessed its formidable power firsthand.

Despite his strength, Sangjie's use of human sacrifices to gain immense power was indeed extremely evil, which explains why Xuanjing destroyed him directly.

How many people can resist the temptation of such evil practices?

Zhou Mingyuan said, "The fire offering technique of the Divine Fire Sect does have its unique aspects, but they discovered that using living people makes it even more effective, so they went astray and turned it into an evil technique. It's better that this thing is destroyed..."

Chen Yang didn't say much.

Some say that magic has no inherent good or evil, and that good and evil lie solely in the practitioner's mind. However, in reality, some magic can easily lead people astray.

Such fire offering rituals are too easy to cause people to become possessed; they should not exist at all.

Chen Yang wanted to take another look; he trusted his self-control. However, since Xuan Jing had already destroyed the spell, he decided against it. It was best to avoid such things altogether.

Inside the Mountain Lord's Seal were several blood-red banners, covered with incantations, exuding a chilling and malevolent aura.

These are all secret treasures used for blood sacrifices and fire offerings.

They were all destroyed by Xuan Jing.

Finally, Xuanjing took out a box from a pile of miscellaneous items.

It's a round box with a rainbow-like finish, very exquisite, and looks like a food box.

Hyun Jung opened the box.

His eyes lit up.

Inside was a bunch of fruit, red, like dried grapes.

The moment the box was opened, Chen Yang felt a scorching heat wash over him.

This aura is very powerful.

This is fire-attribute energy.

"Heh, I didn't expect such an unexpected bonus." Xuan Jing smiled and took out the bunch of fruit.

The fruits were all shriveled, clearly having lost their moisture, and were about the size of the first joint of a thumb, with about ten of them in total.

"What is it?" Chen Yang asked.

"Bodhi seeds."

Zhou Mingyuan said from the side, "The Fire God Sect has a spiritual plant called the Fire Bodhi Tree, which matures once every ten years, producing between thirty and fifty Bodhi seeds. These seeds are extremely effective for tempering the body and cultivating the primordial spirit. One Bodhi seed is equivalent to several months of arduous cultivation by a Dao True Realm cultivator..."

Oh?
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's eyes lit up, and he turned his gaze to Xuan Jing, "Master, as the old saying goes, 'When you meet, you share half'..."

Xuan Jing was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

He picked a fruit, like a raisin, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

After a while, Xuan Jing shook her head. "It's a bit too sweet. You can take it if you want, but this fruit is a bit too strong for you. Use it with caution."

Give them all to me?
Chen Yang was taken aback.

Zhou Mingyuan said, "This thing is of little use to me, and not much use to Master Xuanjing either. However, for you, it's best to save it for when you break through to the Dao True Realm. Otherwise, you'll waste its tempering effect on your primordial spirit..."

Zhou Mingyuan truly looked down on this thing, after all, his level of understanding was what it was.

Xuan Jing had just entered the mid-stage of the Dao True Realm, and the Bodhi Seed still had some use for him, but not as much as he had imagined.

He just tried it out, and the energy from one fruit is equivalent to the effects of ten days of his cultivation.

It's something that's neither good to eat nor worth throwing away.

It would be better to give it to Chen Yang, as a favor.

"How could I possibly accept this?" Chen Yang chuckled awkwardly.

We fought the boss together, but I got all the rewards?
Xuan Jing raised the Mountain Lord Seal in her hand, "I'm taking this seal back to Emei..."

Chen Yang had no objection.

He already has the Shushan Mountain Lord Seal, so there's no point in taking this Kunlun Mountain Lord Seal.

Chen Yang asked, "Who exactly is this Lord of Kunlun Mountain?"

Xuan Jing said, "The Kunlun Mountain Lords rule over the mountains of the Western Frontier. The last Mountain Lord was Yang Ye, a Celestial Realm expert from the Zixia Temple, who came from six hundred years ago. However, this Mountain Lord Yang only reigned for ten years before perishing in the conflict between the three sects of the Secret Sect..."

"After that, there were no more mountain kings in the Western Frontier."

Xuan Jing sighed. With these three factions in the Western Frontier, they even dared to kill the Mountain Lord, leaving no one daring to take over. It was truly defying the heavens.

Zhou Mingyuan picked up the conversation, "It is said that Yang Ye is a descendant of Yang Wanyue, but we don't know if that's true."

Yang Wan-yue?

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow.

He had heard Zhou Mingyuan mention that a thousand years ago, a divine being named Yang Wanyue came from the Central Plains and cultivated himself to enlightenment on Mount Everest. He left behind a copy of the "Immovable King Sutra" in his cave. Later, the sutra was obtained by a esoteric monk from the Vajra Temple, who comprehended a world-shaking martial art called the "Divine Fire Heart Sutra" from it.

Over the course of a century, this esoteric monk rose to prominence in the desert with the "Divine Fire Heart Sutra," broke away from the Vajra Temple, established his own sect, revered the divine man Yang Wanyue as his patriarch, and founded the Divine Fire Sect with the Divine Fire Cliff in northern Xinjiang as his base.

This extraordinary person named Yang Wanyue is very likely the one who left behind the "Sanyiwu Tooth Sutra" at Dawa Mountain.

"Gentlemen, it's getting late. You should get some rest. I'm going to check on Tongxin."

With that in mind, after exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Yang accepted the Bodhi Seed and took his leave.

We've already obtained this batch of Heavenly Beads from the Fire God Sect; they should be able to awaken the Stone Spirit.
