Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 351: The Merger of Good and Evil, the Fierce Five Yins (Subscribe!)

There was dead silence in the Qingyang Cave.

The air was filled with a sickening smell of blood. Everywhere you looked you saw skinless, bloody corpses lying on the ground. Their faces were distorted before their death, as if telling of the pain and fear they experienced in life.

The bodies of these monks had their skin stripped off by an indescribable force, leaving only naked flesh and white bones.

Several monks from our sect and Cangjian Palace who are good at detectives and soul-calling are walking around and checking for clues.

Lu Cheng did not think that his experience in this area was higher than that of Song Ji and others, so he just took the Xiao sisters to find a place in the cave with a better view.

As his eyes opened and closed, firelight appeared and under his fiery golden eyes, from Lu Cheng's perspective, the entire Qingyang Cave was filled with a dark and evil atmosphere.

"Ok?"

However, there was an empty seat above the banquet chair, and under the attention of the Dharma Eye, Lu Cheng discovered that the temperature here was much higher than other areas, and it was red and orange in color.

"Someone used real fire here. What did they burn?"

The monks present were all very professional. Although they walked around to inspect, they would never easily destroy the layout of items on the scene, let alone directly use real fire to burn the bodies of the monks.

"Who was originally sitting here? Who started to burn the monk's body?"

Lu Cheng pointed to the banquet chairman's seat and asked.

"Uh, this..."

Song Ji, who was following Lu Cheng, felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He looked at the Xiao sisters beside Lu Cheng, and finally bowed his head and said:

"Master, the one sitting here originally was Fairy Yunfeng, but the Supreme Elder burned her body."

Fairy Yunfeng, Fairy Xiuyun.

In a sense, Lu Cheng should call her "Big Sister", a female cultivator who had an unclear relationship with his master Huang Longzi in the past.

Later, because his master Huang Longzi cultivated the blood of a true dragon and was able to appreciate the beauty of all living things, he became a little sentimental and indulged himself. As a result, love turned into hate, and he even got involved with Huang Longzi's mortal enemy He Tianyan. The two of them worked together to build a White Bone Cave in the Western Regions, causing considerable trouble to Huang Longzi and his apprentice Lu Cheng.

But after Huang Longzi cultivated his Nascent Soul and the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace unified the demon world, He Tianyan was hunted down by demons all over the world and was seriously injured, with his life or death unknown.

With the help of her magic, Xiu Yunxian managed to fake her death and escape from Madam Baoxiang's sword.

Lu Cheng didn't know that his master was involved with Fairy Yun Feng again, so it was no wonder that Song Ji's reply was hesitant and reserved.

Xiu Yunxian must have been treated as a concubine by Huang Longzi and kept outside, but this time she met with an unexpected disaster. No wonder the master was so angry.

Only one-third of his anger was due to the death of his old brothers, while the other seven-thirds was due to the death of his beloved concubine.

"Father is really making a fuss. Senior brother is a loyal and affectionate person. For so many years, he has only had one concubine, Sister Xue. Rong Jiao'er and Zhou Qingyun almost offered themselves to him, but he never obeyed them."

After listening to Song Ji's reply, Xiao Yuxue spoke to her sister Xiao Yuhong through telepathy, but her sister rolled her eyes at her.

She really thought so in her heart, and even Xiao Yuhong thought the same.

Although the two girls were brought up by their parents since childhood according to the demeanor and bearing of female cultivators of the righteous way, and had been famous beauties in the Tongxuan world since they were young, their inherent temperaments were ultimately from the devilish way. Although they kept themselves clean, they did not actually care too much about these things.

In the past, among the four major demon sects in Tongxuan Realm, Dongyang Orthodox Sect, Gushen Sect, Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace, and Beichen Sword Sect, Dongyang Orthodox Sect and Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace had the worst reputation in this regard, with many dissolute people, sluts and bitches among their sects.

It was just that Lu Cheng became a disciple through Chi Shen Zi, and directly became Huang Long Zi's disciple, so he had no contact with these things. Later, he married the Xiao sisters, and the people below him were even more afraid to offer fox princesses, wolf girls, rabbit charms, crane fairies and the like.

After leaving Qingyang Cave, Lu Cheng knew that Taoist Xu had clean hands and feet, and some time had passed, so it would be difficult to find any useful clues. After finding this person, Lu Cheng decided to try his own Tianmo algorithm to determine Taoist Xu's location.

Lu Cheng's Heavenly Demon Algorithm was inherited from Master Deng of Dongji Island overseas. During the opportunity of cultivating the Golden Elixir, he put his mind into the Jiuli Cauldron and practiced the Heart Flow for a hundred years before he was able to truly cultivate it.

Although Lu Cheng knew that this technique was powerful, he was always reluctant to rely on it, especially now because he had no clues at all.

Outside Qingyang Cave, on the top of the sloping peak, Lu Cheng stood looking up at the sky, frowning from time to time with a thoughtful look on his face. The Taoist stretched out his right hand and calculated quickly in the air.

As time went by, Lu Cheng seemed to gradually enter another world. His eyes penetrated the layers of fog, trying to peek into the mystery of heaven.

However, the high sky seemed to be shrouded in an indescribable black air. The black air flowed like winding dragons and snakes, circling and interweaving in the sky, forming impenetrable barriers.

"The art of deceiving and confusing the heavens? As the realm of Yi Suan rises, the art of Yi Suan is no longer as invincible as before, and there are more and more countermeasures."

There was a hint of solemnity in Lu Cheng's expression, and every change in his fingertips seemed to be a silent fight against the black air that was interfering with his calculations.

The surrounding world, which seemed to be gradually losing its color, seemed to feel the tense atmosphere, and a depressing feeling permeated the quiet air.

The mountains in the distance were looming in the mist, like the blurred boundary of another world. The nearby trees were swaying gently, making rustling sounds.

After a long while, finally, after a strong fluctuation, Lu Cheng closed his eyes, stopped calculating, and opened his eyes after a while.

He opened his eyes and saw Xiao Yuxue wiping the sweat off his face.

"Brother, are you okay? What did you figure out?"

"I didn't figure out anything. That Taoist Xu is good at confusing the heavens. If I force myself to figure it out, it would be like a blow from him. I'm not good at calculations, so I chose to quit at the last minute. This person seems to be quite capable."

Lu Cheng was not so stubborn as to confront the powerful enemy head-on on a battlefield where he was at a disadvantage. His Yi Suan Dao was just a sideline skill, and deep down in his heart, Lu Cheng did not particularly focus on it.

This made it difficult for him to reach a high level in the Yi Calculation, and also made it difficult for him to be backlashed by the Yi Dao.

However, they still couldn't find any trace of Taoist Xu. It was impossible for everyone to waste time in Qingyang Cave for a long time. After committing such a big crime, Taoist Xu might not come out easily in the short term. He might even escape from Tongxuan Realm directly after retreating to digest his thoughts.

However, three days later, things took a turn for the better.

Three days later, a cloud appeared outside Qingyang Cave.

There were ten men and women in Taoist robes standing above the white clouds. The female Taoist leading the group was graceful and beautiful. She was none other than Master Gu Qinghong, one of the eight great sights of the time. Unexpectedly, what happened here had alarmed her out.

"Greetings to Lord Lu, and to my two sisters."

Gu Qinghong bowed to the three people one by one, including Huang Longzi and Mie Hongzi who walked out of the cave later.

Huang Longzi and Mie Hongzi also returned the greetings to Gu Qinghong. Although the other party was a junior, he was already a True Lord of the Nascent Soul Stage and the leader of a sect, so they still had to give him the respect he deserved.

"These two Taoist friends are Xuan Cheng and Ling Xiao, the two True Lords of the Yujing Sect. They heard that Taoist Xu has great demonic power, so they came here to help."

Gu Qinghong pointed to the two Taoists beside him and introduced them.

Ever since the Western Region Tianhe Orthodox Sect, one of the Eight Orthodox Sects, moved out of this world with the power of formation, one of the Eight Orthodox Sects has been missing. What's more, the three immortals of the East China Sea Three Immortals Island died some dead and some went crazy, and their vitality was greatly damaged. Many of the originally second-rate sects in the Xuanmen are ready to make a move.

People compete for a breath, Buddha competes for a stick of incense.

If one can be promoted to one of the eight orthodox religions and become one of the famous sects, it will be of great benefit to all aspects of the sect's development, and will also be conducive to the development and inheritance of the ancestral tradition.

For a Taoist sect to flourish, if it has a patriarch in the upper realm, it can also help the patriarch in the upper realm, and even be able to contact the patriarch in the upper realm and receive magic from the immortals. At that point, a top sect that has been passed down for thousands of years will be formed.

This Yujing Sect seems to be the second-rate Taoist sect chosen by Gu Qinghong. It is a sect that can cultivate two Yuanying Zhenjun. It has an excellent inheritance, strong foundation, and good luck.

If one can be listed among the eight orthodox religions, the power of the righteous path can also be enhanced.

"I just got the news that Mr. Li from the Soul-Calming Valley also died at the hands of this Taoist Xu a few years ago. The Soul-Calming Valley has been keeping this a secret until a few days ago when the elders of this sect learned that Taoist Xu had committed another serious crime here, and then they sent me a letter via flying sword... If we can't kill this beast quickly, not only will the cultivators of the seven realms despise us, but my Tongxuan Realm may even become a gathering place for these demonic disciples, which I don't think you want to see."

The righteous certainly do not want the demons from the Tongxuan Realm to gather there. The local demon sects are the same, and do not want too many cross-border dragons to appear in their own territory.

These dragons that crossed the river would just take a bite and leave without caring about the future, but the local sects still have to develop in this world for a long time.

Therefore, with regard to Taoist Xu, the entire Tongxuan Realm, both the righteous and the evil, joined forces to kill him to avoid endless disasters.

Lu Cheng's Yi Suan is just a side skill, but Gu Qinghong's Yi Suan is his real strength.

With Gu Qinghong as the leader and Lu Cheng as the auxiliary, and with the two people of destiny suppressing the fate of the demon cultivators in their own world, after three days of calculation, Gu Qinghong finally used the Yishu Taoism to calculate and determine the approximate location of Taoist Xu.

However, she herself had suffered some damage to her vitality, so she stayed in Qingyang Cave to recuperate. Along with her stayed seven elders from the Eight Landscapes. These seven could work together to set up a fifth-order formation. Even a Nascent Soul True Lord might not be able to escape easily, so they could protect the master of the temple.

...

In the mountains of southern Xinjiang, thirteen years ago, Lu Cheng joined forces with his two wives and went into the northern mountains to quickly suppress the Kui Niu Demon King and shocked the world.

Now the Kuiniu is still being suppressed in the Demon Refining Pagoda. The Demon Refining Pagoda is divided into seven floors. Theoretically, each floor can suppress a demon in the Nascent Soul stage. If the qi can be straightened out and their magic power can be restrained against each other, then not only will it not affect the power of the Demon Refining Pagoda itself, it can even enhance the power of the Xiao sisters' natal magic weapons.

However, to reach this level, the Xiao sisters need to cultivate the Demon Refining Mentality and the Demon Refining Pagoda to an extremely high level, which is a kind of cultivation in itself.

In southern Xinjiang, there is poisonous miasma surrounding the mountains.

A cave hidden among the mountains, deep and quiet, with only a few faint lights and shadows penetrating from top to bottom, which were immediately swallowed up by darkness.

The stone walls in the cave were covered with densely packed spells, emitting a faint red light. A very young Taoist priest was sitting on the stone bed, wearing a wide Taoist robe, with a handsome face, but a hint of coldness between his brows.

His hands danced lightly, as if conducting an invisible music, and in front of him, five beauties with painted skins were flying in the air, following him like shadows, floating around. They had peerless looks, skin as white as snow, yet they exuded a sinister evil aura.

The beauty's clothes fluttered in the wind, and she spun lightly to the sound of the Taoist's incantation, as if she was performing a silent dance.

The Taoist was deep in the cave, oblivious to the gloomy and cold atmosphere around him. He was immersed in the practice of evil magic and had no distractions.

With his body as the center, countless dead souls and evil spirits are swirling around.

Every time a spell was uttered, the atmosphere in the cave became more gloomy and heavy, and a suffocating feeling of oppression permeated the air.

The young Taoist's eyes were cold, as if he wanted to take everything in the world into them. Those beauties with painted skins were puppets controlled by him. There was no emotion in their eyes, only absolute obedience to their master's orders.

Whenever the Taoist changed his hand seals, they changed their postures accordingly, just like living women, but with a hint of ominous aura.

In the cave, time seemed to have lost its meaning. The Taoist forgot about the alternation of day and night in the outside world and only sunk deeper and deeper into the practice of his own magic skills.

He was indifferent and unaware of the outside world. He just allowed the cold demonic energy to spread in the cave.

After several hours, Master Xu's body was completely enveloped by a black evil spirit. This evil spirit kept flowing with his breathing, as if it wanted to devour all life, but it was also gradually integrated into his body.

The Taoist's eyes were filled with madness and obsession, and he had lost himself in the practice of his own magic.

The painted skin beauties flying around exuded a strange fragrance, which made the Taoist even more excited. He stretched out his fingers and gently stroked the faces of these painted skins. It felt like he was stroking real flesh.

The eyes of the Painted Skin Beauty are full of confusion and temptation, as if leading people into an endless abyss.

Suddenly, there was some change in the energy between heaven and earth, and Master Xu's eyes suddenly woke up.

"Who is it that broke my art of concealing the secrets of the heavens?"

Taoist Xu stretched out his hand and pointed, and the negative energy in the cave gathered and turned into a bright mirror that appeared in front of him.

He had already made arrangements around the cave, so at this moment he could see that Huang Longzi, Lu Cheng, Xiao Yuhong, Xiao Yuxue, Mie Hongzi, and the two Taoists Xuan Cheng and Ling Xiao from the Yujing School had surrounded him from all directions.

"Hahahaha, good, good! If this cultivator from the Tongxuan Realm didn't have some tricks, I would find it boring."

While whispering, Taoist Xu opened his mouth and exhaled towards one of the five painted-skin beauties. The breath swirled and changed in the air, faintly revealing the soul of a woman, and then it was invested into the human skin. The painted skin quickly became fuller, with icy skin and legs, and an extremely beautiful appearance, which was so stunning that it made people lose their souls.

"Master... Master, I pay my respects to you, Master."

This naked beauty is none other than the famous Yunfeng Fairy Xiu Yunxian.

But she didn't know what kind of torture she had gone through during this period of time. The cold and proud character she had in the past was completely gone. At this moment, she was kneeling at Taoist Xu's feet, licking the dirt on his boots with her sweet tongue.

"Come, tell me about the origins of these people, their cultivation, what kind of Taoism they are good at, and what kind of magic weapons they have.

If there is any inaccuracy, you know the consequences.”

Taoist Xu only made a light threat, and Xiu Yunxian suddenly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Under the magic power of this terrifying Taoist priest, one can neither live nor die. Once under his control, even if one wants to die, it is impossible. The cruel torture during this period of time has already crushed all of Xiu Yunxian's pride.

“This Huang Longzi was originally the Grand Elder of the Myriad Beasts Incarnation Palace. He practices both magic and body, and his magic power is astonishing. The master must be extremely careful.

This Lu Cheng is his disciple and son-in-law, the contemporary master of the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace, and is known as the first sword immortal in the Tongxuan world. Since he left the sect, he has been almost invincible in the world with his sword. Master, be careful of his flying sword skills. Huang Longzi once told me that his disciple's flying sword skills are almost unparalleled in the world. I am afraid that there are only a few sword immortals under the Yuanshen ancestors in the seven realms who can match him. "

"Humph, I'm afraid you're just a frog in a well, just bragging."

"Yes, this person is Mie Hongzi, the elder of the Hidden Sword Palace. Her magic power is not good, but she may have some skills in the art of flying swords. I am not very familiar with these two Taoists. They seem to be Taoists from the Yujing Sect. They are hardworking and rarely take action.

By the way, Master, it seems that the Xiao sisters have jointly refined a powerful magic weapon that can suppress evil spirits and restrain the Master. We should prepare early."

Hearing this, Taoist Xu raised his hand and took back Xiu Yunxian's painted skin, not wanting to listen to her chatter anymore. He just looked at the beautiful and charming pair of sisters in the mirror with burning eyes.

"I never thought that there would be such a stunning figure in this small Tongxuan Realm. That Tongxuan Yijian Lucheng Taoist actually took the first place among such a pair of sisters. Damn it. It's time to replace my Five Yin Painted Skins with two more."

This Taoist Xu was born into a famous family of demons, and practiced the Five Yin Soul-Catching and Demon-Raising Heart Sutra. He was cruel, vicious, and cautious, but he was always influenced by his inner demons, and was prone to doing some crazy things.

For example, he had spent several years making friends with the cultivators of the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace. Originally, he was planning to lure out Huang Longzi or Lu Cheng and secretly kill the cultivator who was practicing magic.

But at the banquet, seeing Xiu Yunxian was noble, cold, and self-admiring, he could no longer control his lust. He cast a spell to kill all the people present, abducted the cold and beautiful female cultivator, and tortured her severely before he could calm down his anger.

At this moment, a look of madness flashed in Taoist Xu's eyes, and he regarded all the monks from the Tongxuan Realm who came to hunt him down as resources to assist him in practicing the Five Yin Soul-Captivating and Demon-Raising Heart Sutra.

At the same time, a group of cultivators from the Tongxuan Realm were conducting a carpet search in all directions. Gu Qinghong's Yisuan could only determine a general direction, and there was no way to directly lock onto a cultivator between heaven and earth.

Fortunately, the mountains in southern Xinjiang were filled with miasma and rarely visited by people. We found a Nascent Soul cultivator and that was it.

Lu Cheng went with the Xiao sisters, Huang Longzi went with his third uncle Mie Hongzi, and the two Yuanying Zhenjuns of the Yujing Sect went with them.

According to the information collected before, although Taoist Xu's methods are sinister, it seems that he has only the magical power of the initial stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Several True Lords are divided into three groups. Even if they encounter and are defeated by him, they should not be harmed by him in a short period of time.

Once this demon is restrained, other monks will naturally come to the rescue and attack it quickly.

At the same time, separate searches will greatly improve search efficiency.

"The five aggregates gather together to form the body, which burns like fire. The previous seven sufferings are all caused by this. When the material aggregate is strong, the four elements are out of balance, and there is the suffering of illness. When the feeling aggregate is strong, it perceives and distinguishes, making all the sufferings turn to the extreme. When the perception aggregate is strong, it pursues the image, and there are the sufferings of love and separation, hatred and resentment, and failure to obtain what one desires. When the action aggregate is strong, it creates all kinds of karma, which is also the cause of future retribution. Because of the action, it keeps moving, and there is the suffering of aging. When the consciousness aggregate is strong, it creates confusion and karma, and there is the suffering of rebirth and death in the three worlds..."

Mr. Li from the Soul-Calming Valley was the most outstanding cultivator in this sect in the past thousand years. Although he also died from the conspiracy of Master Xu, he escaped at the last moment and died in the sect due to serious injuries.

Before he died, he wrote the following text, which vaguely pointed out the key to the magic skills practiced by Master Xu.

"Someone is watching us."

At this moment, Lu Cheng, who had been flying in front of the two girls of the Xiao family, suddenly said this.

Then, he raised his hand and sent out several sword lights, blasting several nodes between the mountains, rivers and forests in front of him with sword energy.

bang bang bang bang...

Along with continuous explosions, white smoke rose between the mountains and forests.

At the same time, in the hidden cave, the Yin Mirror in front of Taoist Xu suddenly cracked into pieces, and then exploded and shattered.

The Taoist sat on the stone bed, stroked his chin with his hand, and laughed coldly: "As expected of a swordsman, you are quite sharp."

On the other side, because of Lu Cheng's warning, Huang Longzi, Mie Hongzi, Xuan Cheng, and Taoist Ling Xiao also quickly became alert, knowing that the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light, and that Taoist Xu had already noticed their arrival.

In the hidden cave, Taoist Xu stood up from the stone bed.

With a solemn expression, he took out a wooden arrow from his Qiankun bag. The arrow was as black as ink, as if it could swallow all light.

Taoist Xu cut his fingertips, dipped the tip of his finger in blood, and carved the three words "Huang Longzi" on the arrow shaft. Every stroke seemed to contain a deep dark red.

In the past, Huang Longzi and Yunfeng Fairy Xiu Yunxian once had an old relationship. They once gave each other broken hair to show their long-lasting love. Now, with Xiu Yunxian falling into the hands of Taoist Xu, Huang Longzi's broken hair also fell into this person's hands.

Hair was entangled on the wooden arrow, and Huang Longzi's breath was skillfully drawn by Taoist Xu and entangled on it, like an invisible silk thread.

Then, Taoist Xu took out a straw doll from his Qiankun bag and wrapped the other part of the broken hair around the straw doll.

After doing all this, Taoist Xu took mysterious steps, and his figure appeared and disappeared in the dim firelight in the cave.

Taoist Xu began to chant an ancient and low spell. Each word carried a strange rhythm that echoed in the air, as if it could penetrate the soul.

His eyes were tightly closed, and the muscles on his face were tense, revealing a determined and focused expression. The air around him seemed to become heavy because of the power of the spell, and strange ripples were fluctuating.

As the spell progressed, the flame on the wooden arrow gradually turned dark green, and an indescribable energy gushed out from the tip of the arrow, spreading in all directions along the trajectory of Master Xu's spell.

The entire space was shrouded by this force, as if entering a mysterious dimension, and time seemed to have stood still.

Suddenly, he shot the wooden arrow with the bow, and instantly it hit the straw man doll and caught fire. The arrow in front of him was engulfed by the flames, and both of them gradually turned into ashes.

Taoist Xu opened his eyes, and his eyes were flashing with the same dark green light as the flames in front of him, and a sinister and complacent smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"what!"

Almost at the same time, Taoist Huang Longzi, who was flying in the sky and spreading his spiritual awareness, suddenly covered his head and screamed, then fell from the sky.

"You have great magical power, and you have cultivated both magic and body, so I will use my nail-headed arrows to kill you."
