Chapter 1246 Purpose
She shook her head, tried to widen her phoenix eyes, and quickly recovered.

The second level of the Earthly Origin Technique allows you to teleport people without harming them.

However, such frequent relocations put immense mental stress on individuals.

Even though Li Hongzhao possessed the bloodline of the phoenix and had a strong mental fortitude, he could not withstand it and felt dizzy.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Li Hongzhao let out a long breath, her breath sweet as orchids, and scolded, "I almost fainted! Your Earthly Origin Technique is too ruthless..."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "There's nothing I can do; this guy is too difficult to deal with."

“As expected of the Undying Evil Lord,” Li Hongzhao nodded with lingering fear. “We escaped and completely got rid of him? ... But coming back here is just like walking into a trap.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, "He has already returned to Youmengtian."

"You've dealt with him?" Li Hongzhao hurriedly said, "The one I saw earlier..."

"Yes, it's resolved." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

"Resolved?!" Li Hongzhao frowned slightly.

Zhu Lingyun and Chu Liezhao were positioned outside her field of vision, so she didn't see them.

All she saw was Chu Zhiyuan trying to escape, constantly fleeing.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Most of the credit goes to my spirit sword."

"Is it really that miraculous?" Li Hongzhao was skeptical, but when she looked at Chu Zhiyuan's waist, it was empty.

The golden sword has disappeared without a trace.

The Undying Evil Lord's power is beyond imagination. Can the Golden Sword really kill the Undying Evil Lord?
Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "It is rapidly becoming stronger and stronger."

As he spoke, the golden sword pierced through the air.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

It pierced straight into the golden statue's brow, then swiftly swept across the statue, crisscrossing its path.

"boom!"

The golden statue was blasted into powder.

Amidst the swirling dust, golden powder drifted into the golden sword, where it was absorbed and integrated with it.

Chu Zhiyuan could clearly feel its satisfaction and excitement.

Seeing this, Li Hongzhao smiled and said, "I see."

"Um--?"

“No wonder he has grown so quickly,” Li Hongzhao said. “This can be considered as using battle to hone one’s skills.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.

Li Hongzhao said, "Wouldn't it be a good thing for you if an immortal evil lord appeared in the world?"

"I suppose so," Chu Zhiyuan said.

Li Hongzhao suddenly realized: "No wonder you're so enthusiastic, I was wondering about that too."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I am also full of enthusiasm."

"I thought you just wanted to become the sect leader, so you were cultivating your reputation and winning people's hearts. But that's killing three birds with one stone. That's more like it."

Chu Zhiyuan has always acted this way; he never seeks to satisfy just one benefit.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and laughed: "You've misunderstood my sincerity. As a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, I naturally have to stand up for the sect and not allow outsiders to offend our Heavenly Sword Sect."

“I didn’t say you weren’t sincere,” Li Hongzhao smiled, “and you’re just taking care of a little personal desire as well.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, looking utterly helpless.

The rustling sound finally fell completely, and the original golden statue had disappeared.

A mountain breeze blew by, sweeping away the powder on the ground, leaving it clean, as if it had never existed.

Chu Zhiyuan looked around with a solemn expression and sighed, "This is no longer the first Undying Evil Lord."

"There were very few to begin with, weren't there?"

"Yes, very few."

"The world has changed drastically?" Li Hongzhao said, "The spiritual energy doesn't seem to have changed."

Chu Zhiyuan looked up at the void.

Li Hongzhao asked, "The threat comes from outer space?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

Li Hongzhao forced a smile: "Don't scare yourself."

"I'd rather I'm just scaring myself." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "The divine artifact guarding the imperial city has malfunctioned, the Undying Evil Lord has come repeatedly, and even the Evil Lord himself has been descending down one after another."

He sighed and said, "Don't you find it strange?"

“That’s definitely not appropriate.” Li Hongzhao frowned. “I’ll ask my master.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Li Hongzhao said, "Don't be too hasty. The position of sect leader should at least wait until the sect leader is willing to step down. Being too hasty will only make you a target of suspicion."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded. "Let's go, I'll take you back to the secret place first. I'll go report to the sect leader."

"Row."

Li Hongzhao agreed.

……

Sect Leader Hall
The sunlight illuminated the main hall, where the four elders and Lu Wanshan sat opposite Chu Zhiyuan, listening to what he had to say.

"The Jurchens?" Lu Wanshan frowned, stroking his beard in deep thought.

Xu Qianfan's face darkened: "It was actually the Undying Evil Lord's doing! ...Are these demons about to stir up trouble again?!"

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Xu Qianfan: "Elder, the Undying Evil Lord has also descended here before?"

Xu Qianfan snorted, "Occasionally there might be one or two cases, but wherever they go, it's always a bloodbath, a scene of utter devastation!"

"But I haven't seen many records."

“If it’s not necessary to record it, it’s best not to,” Xu Qianfan shook his head and said, “It’s useless or harmful, so it can only be passed down orally.”

Elder Meng Xusheng shook his head: "The most terrifying thing about these guys is their unpredictable methods, which are impossible to guard against, and even martial arts cannot stop them!"

Xu Qianfan said, "It takes many experts to die each time to drive them away."

"How did you drive them away?" Chu Zhiyuan asked curiously.

Xu Qianfan said, "Our sect has selected disciples to practice a formation specifically to deal with this kind of evil spirit."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him curiously.

Xu Qianfan said, "This formation is called the Great Dragon Locking Formation. Sixteen disciples need to be at the Venerable level to form the formation, at least at the fourth level, and cultivate until their minds and wills are in perfect harmony without any gaps... Junior Brother Zhu, are they doing alright now?"

Another middle-aged man stroked his beard and nodded slightly: "The Great Dragon Locking Formation is nearing completion and is ready for use."

Xu Qianfan smiled.

Meng Xusheng sighed: "If we can avoid sending anyone, it's best not to."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him.

Meng Xusheng said, "If the Great Dragon Locking Formation is used to kill the Evil Lord, there will be a huge price to pay; all their cultivation will be destroyed."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "Exchange cultivation for power?"

Xu Qianfan nodded and said, "After all, the Undying Evil Lord's power level is higher."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Lu Wanshan.

Lu Wanshan said, "The Heavenly Sword can kill them, but it should not be used lightly."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

He understood what Lu Wanshan meant.

The Heavenly Sword is the final barrier used to guard Heavenly Sword Peak; once it is used, it leaves an opening.

Meng Xusheng laughed and said, "Zhiyuan, your Demon-Subduing Blade was actually able to kill the Undying Evil Lord. From now on, we will no longer be afraid of the Undying Evil Lord!"

The other three elders also smiled.

This can be described as immense luck for the Heavenly Sword Sect. Chu Zhiyuan's Demon-Subduing Blade has repeatedly achieved miraculous feats, and now it has even managed to kill the Undying Evil Lord.

This single Demon-Subduing Blade is worth sixteen Venerables.

Not to mention, the Demon-Subduing Blade kills demons and evil spirits as easily as mowing grass.

As Chu Zhiyuan's cultivation reached the ninth level, almost no demons or evil spirits in the world could withstand him.

This imposing aura is the power of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Among the four major sects, Guanghan Palace was originally the number one, but now it seems that Tianjian Sect may well be able to take its place.

……

Chu Zhiyuan returned to the courtyard, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.

Zhu Lingyun activated a secret technique, consuming thirty years of his lifespan, and found a place to recuperate.

On Chu Liezhao's side, the Haoyang Demon-Subduing Mirror had already refined that ball of seven-colored light.

Much faster than I expected.

The result, however, was quite unexpected.

This cluster of seven-colored light was a wisp of the soul of the Undying Evil Lord.

This immortal evil lord's cultivation level far surpasses that of the others he had encountered before.

A wisp of the soul was separated and descended here; it was refined without harming its original body.

It's like a clone of yourself.

However, even through this wisp of soul, one can still glimpse three-tenths of the memories and techniques of this immortal evil lord.

Judging from his memories, the immortal evil sovereign's goal was not the rare object.

He commanded nine experts to capture Ding Chonglou alive in order to possess Ding Chonglou's body.
