Chapter 1250 Again
Merit can not only be absorbed and transformed by the Golden Sword, but also his clone ability and the second level of the Three Elements Technique require merit.

“I will send a message to Palace Master Xiao,” Lu Wanshan said in a deep voice. “But don’t get your hopes up. If there were any, we would have heard about it already.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's not necessarily hopeless. Since they have the previous secret techniques, they may have even more advanced ones."

The previous secret technique was able to withstand the attacks of the Undying Evil Lord and kill him.

What is needed now is not to kill the current Undying Evil Lord, but to kill the Undying Evil Lord of Youmengtian.

The requirements for secret techniques are even higher.

If there is one Moon Palace, there must be another.

Lu Wanshan shook his head: "Let's wait and see. Even if the Moon Palace has it, they may not pass it on to you."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "We should at least give it a try."

Lu Wanshan nodded slowly.

……

Tianjian Courtyard
In Chu Zhiyuan's courtyard, Huang Zhengyang sat opposite him at a stone table.

As the sun sets, the red glow paints the courtyard in a rosy hue.

Bathed in the glow of the sunset, the two gazed absently at the flowerbed, remaining silent to each other.

After a long pause, Chu Zhiyuan said, "So you mean, the imperial treasury has this kind of knowledge, but it can't be passed on to outsiders?"

Huang Zhengyang nodded helplessly.

"Why can't this be spread?" Chu Zhiyuan asked. "Is it because I'm a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, or is there some other reason?"

Huang Zhengyang said, "It is indeed because you are a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, then shook his head in disappointment.

Huang Zhengyang said with a wry smile, "I have tried my best to persuade them, and even the Minister of Justice personally stepped forward to try, but I still couldn't convince the four princes."

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "Fine, then so be it."

Huang Zhengyang hurriedly said, "The court is very grateful to you for eliminating the Undying Evil Lord in time and stopping them from harming people further."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled indifferently: "Are you suggesting I get a longevity pill too?"

Huang Zhengyang said, "I'll give you two longevity pills."

He took out a jade bottle from his pocket and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan.

It is tall and delicate, with a smooth, oily sheen and an inner glow.

Both sides are carved with an ancient tree pattern. The ancient tree, carved with just a few strokes, immediately gives people a sense of lush greenery and vitality.

Chu Zhiyuan took the jade bottle, and immediately felt a chill that penetrated to his bones, as if half of his body was about to freeze.

He lifted his gaze from the jade bottle and shot it at Huang Zhengyang: "Is it really a longevity elixir?"

“It is indeed the Longevity Pill.” Huang Zhengyang smiled and said, “The imperial court has its own rules to follow, but it will never mistreat those who have contributed.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, opened the jade bottle, and poured out two jade-like pills.

Similar to the pills he refined in the Outer Heavens, it is a genuine longevity pill.

"Thank you very much." Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This will put an end to my resentment. Don't worry, I have no resentment, it's just a pity."

He carefully tucked the jade bottle into his sleeve.

"What's a pity?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "If we cannot truly eliminate the Undying Evil Lords in Youmeng Heaven, then we cannot form a real deterrent. They will never give up and will become more and more rampant, causing more and more harm. In the end, it is the innocent people who will suffer. Alas... what a pity."

Huang Zhengyang's face darkened.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "All I can do is try my best and try to hold them off in time, but you know how they can possibly stop us?"

"Sigh—!" Huang Zhengyang sighed and shook his head, saying, "I've explained this principle to Si Zheng, and Si Zheng must have explained it to them as well. They all understand."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Actually, he's more afraid of me than of the Undying Evil Lord."

Huang Zhengyang nodded slightly.

This is the truth.

Otherwise, the imperial court would not have been so cautious.

It's simply that Chu Zhiyuan, this disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect who ascended from the Lesser Outer Heaven, has an exceptionally high talent.

Throughout history, the Heavenly Sword Sect has never produced such a prodigy; it is truly a once-in-a-lifetime achievement.

Even the imperial court had never seen such a figure before. The bloodlines of the four royal families cultivated at an incredibly fast pace, yet none could match his level of progress.

Such a secret technique, if passed on to an ordinary genius, would be nothing special.

With a talent as extraordinary as Chu Zhiyuan, it's entirely possible that he could master it; the power he would possess after mastering it would be immense.

Even if we suppress it, we will have to pay too high a price.

"It's better not to pass it on than to do that." Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "Alright, then I'll give up... Next, I'll go with the experts from the four sects to destroy the Myriad Manifestations Sect."

"Sigh—!" Huang Zhengyang sighed, "This matter is really..."

He shook his head repeatedly, feeling unwilling, helpless, and powerless.

Chu Zhiyuan was filled with fervor, wanting to relieve the suffering of the common people.

The imperial court was also taking precautions, as Chu Zhiyuan would be even more terrifying than the Undying Evil Lord if he lost control.

Neither side seems to be wrong.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Brother Huang, we have done our best. The rest is up to fate."

Huang Zhengyang let out a long sigh: "Brother Chu, you haven't contacted Prince Zhuang?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "This matter cannot be decided by Prince Zhuang alone."

He knew that seeking help from Prince Zhuang would be useless, especially in this kind of matter; in fact, it was not advisable to seek help from Prince Zhuang.

He then laughed and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that. Let's just assume we don't have such a secret technique. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. If the Undying Evil Lord appears again, notify me as soon as possible."

"...Brother Chu, are you leaving the capital?"

"Go and destroy the Myriad Forms Sect."

"In my opinion, it would be better to stay in the capital," Huang Zhengyang said somewhat embarrassedly. "Shouldn't the four sects have enough experts to destroy the Myriad Manifestations Sect?"

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Huang Zhengyang said, "Finding the Undying Evil Lord and then looking for Brother Chu would waste too much time."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "That's true."

Huang Zhengyang said solemnly, "So Brother Chu, you'd better stay in the capital and you'll get the news soon."

“...That works too.” Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

Huang Zhengyang stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed.

Chu Zhiyuan quickly stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Brother Huang, what are you doing!"

“Brother Chu, you deserve this courtesy!” Huang Zhengyang said solemnly, “I would feel uneasy if I did not accept this courtesy.”

“Alright,” Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, “then I’ll accept it.”

Huang Zhengyang gritted his teeth and made a decision.

He said in a deep voice, "Then I'll take my leave. Come to my place tomorrow, and we'll have a good drink together."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded in agreement.

When he escorted Huang Zhengyang to the gate of the villa, six experts from the Demon Extermination Division were waiting.

Four middle-aged people and two young people.

The two young men looked anxious, but when they saw Huang Zhengyang come out, they breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to greet him.

Huang Zhengyang looked at the two young men: "What's wrong?"

Two young men, one tall and thin and the other short and stout, clasped their hands in greeting: "Master, another statue of the Undying Evil Lord has appeared!"

"Where?" Huang Zhengyang asked.

The short, stout young man said, "The Lishan Mountain Range, two hundred miles away, is to the north."

“Leaving the mountain…” Huang Zhengyang looked at Chu Zhiyuan and said with a wry smile, “Just as you said, Brother Chu, it’s becoming more and more frequent.”

The frequency of appearances of this Undying Evil Lord statue is rapidly increasing.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I'll go there. I'll see it if I head due north."

“Yes.” The tall, thin young man said, “If you go out of the north gate and head north, you will see the statue on the mountaintop. Fortunately, it is in a remote place.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Then I'll go."

"Mr. Chu, please lead the way," the tall, thin young man said hurriedly.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "You all come with me. I'll go first and try to destroy the statue as soon as possible."

“Then…we’ll be there shortly.” The tall, thin young man looked at Huang Zhengyang and nodded slowly.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded to Huang Zhengyang, and his figure appeared a hundred meters away at the end of the street. With another flash, he disappeared.

Huang Zhengyang said, "Go ahead, you can guide us if we get lost, but be careful not to fall into any traps!"

"Yes!" The two clasped their hands in a fist salute, turned around, and floated away.

Huang Zhengyang, with a solemn expression, slowly headed towards the Exorcism Division.

He decided to plead with the judge once more and try again.
