She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 97: Fate is wonderful. I thought I had lost my fortune, but it was actually a great blessing.

Knives flew like rain, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

But in just a few moments, all the fairies present were killed.
The Worry-Free Valley, which was already filled with blood and energy, had now become a desolate place, with evil spirits, resentment, blood and all kinds of negative energies bursting out crazily.

If left alone, it won't take long for a demon to emerge.

"Kill them all, what's the point?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Lu Ping's eyes.

"It's done. There are more than just them offering incense to the Queen. There may be dozens, tens or even hundreds of demons worshipping one portrait. Do you think you can kill them all?"

Lu Meng next to him also spoke.

"Your Majesty, accept your fate. We are just pawns, and you, Your Majesty, have been in the game for a long time. I am not afraid to tell you that the jade bracelet that you thought was a great opportunity is actually a trap for you. From the moment you put on the bracelet, you are doomed!"

Zhu Qingqing's expression flashed and he said with a sneer.

"Whether it is eternal damnation or not is not up to you to decide. Since the master you are talking about is so powerful, why don't you dare to say his name?"

At this time, a voice came.

"Why don't you dare to say it? My master is the Yin Yang Boy. Have you ever heard of him, Madam?"

Lu Yuan came out.

There was a cold look on his face. His parents were in danger of death, but he was not even allowed to look at them.

Zhu Qingqing was shocked and looked incredulous.

"Yin Yang Boy? A true immortal? Isn't he dead?"

Yin Yang Boy?

Xie Lian frowned. She actually knew this person as well.

It was mentioned in Taoist Qingyu’s notes.

He is an old demon, with bloody methods, cunning and cruel, and no one knows how much blood and gore he has caused.

In order to deal with him, five true immortals joined forces.
At that time, Taoist Qingyu had not yet survived his last heavenly tribulation and was not qualified to get involved in a war of this level.

But later I heard that the Yin-Yang Boy died.

Even an ascetic monk like Taoist Qingyu expressed his joy at the death of Yin-Yang Boy and made a special note of it in his notes.

When Xie Lian watched this passage, it was like he was reading a story.

It's over once you've watched it.

I never thought that the Yin-Yang Boy was not dead, but ran to the southwest to cause trouble.

"My master is a cunning rabbit with many burrows. How could he die so easily? He only faked his death that day, but he fooled everyone in the world!"

Lu Yuan laughed loudly and looked somewhere with a fanatical look.

"Master!"

A loud laugh was heard, and the next moment the restriction in the sky was broken, and a boy of twelve or thirteen years old was suspended in the air.
It was the Yin-Yang Boy. Although he had a young face, he had white hair and wore a yin-yang Taoist robe. His eyes were full of viciousness.

"There is a price to pay for deceiving the world. I have to give up my body and only my soul has escaped. I have cultivated for thousands of years but cannot return to the peak. How deplorable and hateful!"

The Yin-Yang Boy's face was full of emotion, and there was a hint of greed in his eyes as he looked at Zhu Qingqing.

"Until I met you, I realized there was a second person in the world who shared the same origin as me!"

Zhu Qingqing’s face turned pale.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I have average talent and poor bones. How could I be of the same origin as you?"

The Yin-Yang Boy is a true immortal, so his aptitude for cultivation is of course excellent.

Zhu Qingqing doesn't think she can compare.

"No, no, no, the so-called common origin has nothing to do with aptitude, but your soul is the same as mine!"

"The souls of all living things?"

"This rare soul, which may not even be found in one in a million people, is naturally a good material for practicing Yin-Yang magic."

"I understand. You plotted against me because you wanted to take over my body!"

"Ridiculous, you are a girl, why would I take over your body? I just want to cultivate your soul into a true immortal soul and then devour it."

"You, you are ridiculous. I am still a long way from becoming a true immortal. By the time you die of old age, I may not even become a true immortal!"

Zhu Qingqing sneered, wondering what kind of old devil who has been famous for a long time was talking nonsense here.

But Xie Lian’s voice rang in his ears.

"uncertain."

"what?"

Xie Lian looked at the Yin Yang Boy, recalled the contents of "Qing Yu Miscellaneous Notes", and said calmly.
"It is said that Yin Yang Boy has a secret technique inherited from the ancient Demon Sect, which is the Soul Fusion Technique created by the Seven Emotions Demon Lord. This technique targets the soul and spirit. It can use the power of incense to stimulate the soul and spirit to grow rapidly in a short period of time. If the incense is sufficient, it may not be impossible to reach the True Immortal level."

Zhu Qingqing’s expression froze.

The Yin Yang Boy looked at Xie Lian coldly. It was the first time he noticed this young woman with a weak presence. His heart skipped a beat when he glanced at her.

He couldn't even see through this person's abilities!
The old demon's cautious nature immediately came into play, and he asked with concentration.

"Who is this fellow Taoist? I seem to know him quite well, but he looks unfamiliar to me."

Xie Lian stared at the Yin-Yang Boy. Although he appeared calm on the surface, deep down inside, he was actually still a little nervous.

How long has she been practicing after all this?

Although there is the fruit of Tianzun Tao.

But her understanding of Daoguo is just a drop in the ocean.

As for the Taoism, there is no need to mention it.

If the little golden crow were still here, I would have some confidence.

But he had been having too much fun before, and now he has fallen into a deep sleep.

But what about the other party?

He is an old demon who has been famous for a long time. Although he has suffered serious injuries, it does not mean that he is weak.

The reason why he dared to speak out his true strength openly was because he did not take Zhu Qingqing seriously at all.
And there is another key point, that is, Xie Lian has too little experience in fighting. He has to challenge the big boss just after leaving the novice village, which is undoubtedly a huge test.

Even if there is the true fire of the sun, it has to be able to burn the opponent. Xie Lian can't fly yet.
But Xie Lian did not lose his composure, but took the initiative to speak, attracting the attention of the Yin-Yang Boy.

Just as she expected, the old demon was obviously wary.

"You probably don't know the name of Xie. As for how I know your name, it was by chance. I read it from the writing of Qingyu."

"Qingyu? Taoist Qingyu? The newly promoted True Immortal from a thousand years ago? How come his notes are in your hands?"

"It was given to me by Daoist Fellow Danyangzi."

Xie Lian was exaggerating, but he was also telling the truth.

After hearing these two heavy titles of True Immortal, Yin Yang Boy fell into silence.

He is an old devil who is very good at playing with people's hearts. Ordinary people cannot deceive him easily.

Because Xie Lian was telling the truth, he didn't see any flaws, so the fear in his heart suddenly increased.

If it were the heyday, he would not take a newly promoted True Immortal or an old alchemist seriously.

But he was in his weak period at this moment. Not to mention facing two True Immortals, even if the news that he was still alive got out, it would cause a huge uproar. If he was surrounded by his enemies, he didn't have the confidence to fake his death again.
"How did Zhu Qingqing get to know such a person?"

The Yin-Yang Boy was afraid of the two True Immortals, but he was even more afraid of Xie Lian, because no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out Xie Lian's true colors.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like he is just a mortal.

But how could a mortal be related to two true immortals?

For a moment, my heart began to beat fast.

Both of them were afraid of each other.

But in comparison, the old demon was under more pressure and his voice became softer.

"My fellow Taoist, I have no grudge against you. Could you please not interfere in today's matter? I will reward you handsomely."

He is afraid!

After hearing this, Xie Lian did not have the slightest intention of retreating. If she really agreed now, it would make the old demon doubt her strength. When dealing with such a demon, one must advance and not retreat. If one must retreat, it cannot be in this way.

She smiled lightly.

"Few people who negotiate deals with you have a good ending. I am not interested. However, I can promise you that I will not interfere in this matter."

She looked at Zhu Qingqing, with a glimmer of encouragement in her eyes.

“Miss Qingqing, do you have the courage to fight this old devil and kill his enemy with your own hands!?”

"I?"

Zhu Qingqing pointed at her nose and then at the Yin-Yang Boy.

"Kill him with your own hands?"

There was confusion in his big eyes.

Senior, are you kidding me?

Her greatest confidence is that Xie Lian is here
As long as the divine bird in the painting is released, this old demon will have no choice but to flee in panic.

But now, Xie Lian promised not to interfere in this matter, but wanted her to fight against Yin Yang Boy. If this wasn't suicide, what was it?
"Miss Qingqing, rest assured. Although I won't fight him myself, I won't watch you die in vain. If you trust me, go ahead and fight him."

Xie Lian smiled faintly, appearing to have everything planned out for him.

But in my heart, I am actually unsure.

Especially at times like this, we must not show weakness.

"In that case, I will risk my life to fight him!"

Zhu Qingqing bit her lips tightly, with a look of determination in her eyes.

Strictly speaking, this matter is actually between her and the Yin-Yang Boy.

Xie Lian was involved accidentally.

She and Xie Lian had no relationship, so even if she didn't interfere, she couldn't say she was wrong.

It's just that she subconsciously thought that Xie Lian was a righteous person, and as a righteous person, he must be naturally opposed to the Yin-Yang Boy.

But now that Xie Lian had made his point clear, she no longer had any extra thoughts.

She would just fight to the death. At least Xie Lian had promised to help her. Thinking of the true sun fire released by the little golden crow before, she felt certain.

Her hot temper came out and she pointed at the Yin-Yang Boy and said.

"Old devil, if you want to devour my soul, then show me your ability. I want to see how much you have left!"

The Yin-Yang boy's brows jumped.
In his eyes, Zhu Qingqing was just an ant-like character. Even though her strength was less than 30% of her peak period, he did not take her seriously.

So, no matter how loudly Zhu Qingqing shouted, it was just like a gentle breeze to him.

As a notorious old devil, what bad words and dirty words has he not heard?
Zhu Qingqing's behavior could not shake his mind at all. The one he really cared about was Xie Lian.

"Fellow Daoist, are you being too arrogant? If you really want to intervene, then do it yourself. Although my strength has dropped, I am not someone you can easily mess with. If you don't want to intervene, then leave immediately and pretend that this matter never happened. But you choose not to intervene, and you choose not to leave, and you allow this ant-like character to fight against me. I really can't figure out what you are thinking."

I thought about just leaving.

But is it possible?

The old demon was insidious and cunning, and his mind was extremely sensitive. If Xie Lian really turned around and left, it would be tantamount to showing his cowardice. Given the old demon's temperament, there was no certainty as to what he would do.

In order to prevent things from getting worse, Xie Lian could only continue to bluff.

She knew very well that she had the upper hand because she knew who the old demon was, while the old demon knew nothing about her.

This is her greatest advantage.

"You are wrong, my friend. First of all, although Miss Qingqing is a little weak, she is definitely not an ant. She is still a person who has the potential to become a true immortal. It is not easy for her to reach this point. And the most important thing is, how much strength do you have left? If you were in your prime, why would you go through so much trouble to do this? As long as you can control Miss Qingqing, everything that comes next will be up to you."

"You hide behind the scenes and manipulate everything. Others see your scheming and cruelty, but what I see is your unprecedented weakness."

"What are you afraid of? Let me guess, even if you are hiding in this southwest area, you are still worried that you will be exposed and discovered by outsiders. Not to mention your enemies all over the world, even the five Taoist friends who participated in the encirclement and suppression of you, if they get any news about you, even if it's just a little clue, they will probably rush here immediately, right?"

The Yin Yang Boy had no expression on his face, and it was hard to tell whether he had any emotions because of Xie Lian's words.

But Xie Lian had no intention of observing him. He just took a few steps forward leisurely and said leisurely.
"So, fellow Daoist, there is no need to put on airs and put away your former devilish demeanor. Your current strength is really nothing to brag about."

Hearing this, a gloomy look finally appeared on the old demon's face.

"Since you look down on me so much, why don't you do it yourself? If you kill me, you will be admired by everyone, your name will spread throughout the cultivation world, and my enemies will also be grateful to you. There are many benefits."

Xie Lian was bluffing, trying to use words to suppress the old demon and cause him to have unnecessary psychological pressure.

The old demon was also trying to test Xie Lian from time to time. At this moment, he must be struggling with his conscience.
Xie Lian knew that when dealing with a cunning person like the old demon, she must not just go along with what he said, but must take the initiative herself, so she just smiled faintly.

"Fellow Daoist, you are quite interesting. You brag about yourself and promote the benefits of killing you? In fact, you and I both know that you are still testing me. I can tell you clearly now that you can stop testing me. I will not attack you personally, and I will not sneak attack you when you are in the middle of a fight. The reason is very simple. I don't want to bully the weak!"

I just don't want to bully the weak!

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Even Zhu Qingqing, who was standing next to him, showed a look of astonishment, and then felt as if she was looking up to a mountain.

"The tone of the senior is really too big. This old demon is a senior figure, but in her eyes, he is treated as a junior?"

She believed the words.

The terrifying existence that can drive the true fire of the sun must be far superior to the old devil.

But the Yin Yang Boy didn't know this, and all his hypocritical pretenses disappeared, and anger welled up in his eyes.

"The big bullies the small?"

He sneered, feeling humiliated like never before.

"I have made countless enemies and fought countless battles in my life. I don't know how many unpleasant words I have heard, but no one has ever dared to act like a senior in front of me. Fellow Taoist, you are so arrogant. It seems that today's matter cannot be resolved peacefully. I want to see what you are relying on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed and turned into a beam of magic light, rushing straight towards Xie Lian.

The speed was so fast that even though Xie Lian’s eyes could see through his trajectory, his body didn’t have time to react.

But at this moment, Zhu Qingqing's voice rang out.

"Old demon, you are not worthy to fight with the senior, your opponent is me!"

She threw out two of her life-saving flying knives and directly faced the old demon.

Just as Xie Lian said, the old demon’s strength had actually weakened greatly. In the past, he could have killed Zhu Qingqing with just a wave of his finger, but now, Zhu Qingqing actually blocked his attack.

"Zhu Qingqing, do you really dare to fight with me?"

The old devil smiled grimly, and with a flick of his hand, a beam of magic light shot out.

"You're about to eat my soul, do you really think I'm a good-tempered person?"

Zhu Qingqing was under great pressure. She had to use three or four magical weapons to fight the old demon at the very beginning. It was a huge challenge for her, but she refused to be outdone and spoke head-on.

snort!
The old demon felt a little annoyed. In fact, it was not that he could not defeat Zhu Qingqing, but that 70% of his energy was focused on Xie Lian.

Xie Lian said that she would not launch a sneak attack, but the old demon didn’t believe it.

If he believed this kind of bullshit, he wouldn't be alive today.

So he still wishfully believed that Xie Lian must have some huge conspiracy. He didn't even dare to use his trump card and was always on guard against Xie Lian.

“It’s a bit dangerous.”

Xie Lian breathed a sigh of relief. The old demon’s sudden attack just now was actually a bit dangerous.

Fortunately, Zhu Qingqing reacted in time and took it directly.

This shows how cunning the old devil is. He attacked without any warning.

Xie Lian took a quick glance and knew that the old demon had not tried his best.

"He is under great pressure right now, and I'm afraid he is still nervously guarding against me."

Xie Lian quickly guessed the reason and became more calm. He put his hands behind his back and watched the fight in the air.

"Everyone thought you were dead, but who would have thought that you faked your own death and escaped to such a remote place."

"The price you paid to stay alive must be unimaginable. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to plot against Miss Qingqing."

"Looking at your appearance just now, my previous guess should have been correct. I have a habit in my life, that is, I like to guess other people's things. Let me guess again, why did you take this step? Could it be that you can no longer become an immortal a second time through your own efforts? Could it be that swallowing up Miss Qingqing's soul is your only choice?"

As soon as these words came out, the old demon's brows twitched wildly, and the movements of his hands slowed down by three points.

Zhu Qingqing caught this sharply, and took the opportunity to fight back while laughing wildly.

"No wonder you're thinking about me, it turns out you no longer have the ability to return to the immortal realm!"

The old demon sneered, and two rays of devilish light shot out of his eyes, almost knocking Zhu Qingqing down from the air.

"Ridiculous speculation!"

Xie Lian crossed his arms and spoke to himself.

"Let me think about it again. Why can't you return to the immortal realm? Could it be that you can't survive the tribulation? Everyone knows that for the devil, surviving the tribulation is a huge test. No matter how powerful the devil is, if you want to survive the tribulation, you will have to shed a layer of skin. If you were in your prime, you might still have hope of surviving the tribulation, but now you are just a broken soul and body, and your cultivation is only one tenth of what it was. How can you survive the tribulation?"

"By the way, if we can ask for the Tribulation Pill, maybe we can increase our success rate."

"But unfortunately, only the orthodox Taoist sect can refine the Tribulation Pill, such as the Dan Yangzi I mentioned earlier. But this path has been blocked. If you dare to show up in Danxia Mountain, you will definitely not get the Tribulation Pill, but the encirclement and suppression of the entire orthodox Taoist sect!"

The Yin Yang Boy didn’t want to hear what Xie Lian had to say.

But every word Xie Lian said hit a sore spot.

It was like a demonic sound piercing his brain, making his heart more and more confused, and a feeling of irritability surged in his heart.
"What a joke! Why would I go to those old Taoist priests to ask for the Tribulation Elixir? Heaven is unfair. We are both trying to transcend the Tribulation, so why should the path of magic be more difficult than other paths?"

"The way of heaven is fair! Overcoming tribulations and becoming an immortal is a test in itself. You absorb the power of heaven and earth and become a cultivator. If you do not think of giving back, it will hurt the harmony of heaven. It is not that I am partial to you for killing innocent people. It is that most of the magic methods in this world require the sacrifice of living souls and the purification of blood and flesh. Often, it takes countless lives to refine a magic weapon. I don't know how much karma is stained by such inhumane methods. The way of heaven has not completely blocked the way to becoming an immortal, leaving a glimmer of hope. This is already an extremely fair manifestation!"

"How ridiculous! My cultivation is already above the ordinary world. If I were to be like those old Taoist priests, hiding in the mountain gates chanting scriptures and practicing, sleeping in the open air, what would be the meaning of my cultivation? Who doesn't want to do whatever they want? Who doesn't want to be famous? Whenever my name is mentioned, countless people tremble. This is the meaning of my cultivation! I follow my own way and do whatever I want. If not, what's the point of living!"

"What a great saying, 'I want my own way'. As expected of an old demon who has been famous for a long time, he summed up the true meaning of the magic path in just four words. But unfortunately, there are still more normal people in this world, and the magic path is weak, like a rat crossing the street. Even a figure like you, Daoyou, has ended up in a miserable state."

"As long as I can return to the fairyland, I have plenty of ways to surpass the peak. It's too early for you to make a judgment now!"

The Yin Yang Boy's emotions were affected by Xie Lian's teasing, but it was unlikely that his determination to follow the Dao would be completely shaken.

This old devil is not so easy to deal with.

But Xie Lian also had some reservations. At this point, the time was ripe. He looked at the old demon with a smile and threw a critical blow that was enough to shake his determination!
"It's easy to say that we can return to the immortal realm. It seems that you are quite confident now, but I have to remind you that it's too early for you to be happy. Miss Qingqing is not your puppet. You want to use incense to help her give birth, but she may not do as you wish."

The old devil sneered.

"You don't need to worry about this, fellow Taoist. For a casual cultivator like this to obtain a method of enlightenment, how can he resist temptation? My bracelet has the miraculous effect of collecting incense and fire. This girl is hoping to use it to condense an incense and fire body. How can I not use it?"
