Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 315 Qin Shuangjiang: Don't force me to slap you in the most crowded place.
Originally, they planned to join forces with Zhang Tianshi to seal Taiqing, and then after Duan Huaige and the others left, they would seal the exit and continue operating the great formation. Theoretically, this would trap Taiqing in that time forever!
However, at this point, Duan Huaige suddenly dared not continue the plan, not for any other reason than that he discovered that the causal array could actually influence future generations to a certain extent.

And since Taiqing is not sealed now, if she stays in the outside world, will the butterfly effect she causes change many things in the future, or even... cause bugs?

After pondering for a moment, Duan Huaige decided not to gamble on the possibility. He shook his head at the old celestial master, indicating that it was not a good idea. Seeing this, the old celestial master did not insist, after all, it was just an experiment.

As the grand formation gradually subsided, Duan Huaige and Qin Shuangjiang's figures faded away, finally landing on the altar. Those present fell silent upon seeing their return…

For no other reason than that this kid is just too much of a troublemaker. At our current generation, we're not even worthy to offer him tea, let alone criticize him?
Of course, Miss Yan didn't care about any celestial masters or anything like that. Seeing that everyone was practically declaring him and Qin Shuangjiang as the official couple, she rushed forward, grabbed Duan Huaige's hand, and sweetly said:

"Huaige...you've really worked hard. I was so nervous watching just now...my heart is still pounding...do you want to touch it and feel it?"

Duan Huaige: Really? Can I touch it to see?
Qin Shuangjiang's face darkened instantly upon hearing this: "Yan Qiuxi, don't force me to slap you when there are the most people around."

Before the words were even finished, Little Jiang the Demon King rushed over, not to be outdone, and with a swift movement, pushed aside the King of Qin and grabbed Duan Huaige's other arm: "Little Duan... you did a great job just now, didn't embarrass your childhood sweetheart..."

Compared to these two girls, Miss Qin's biggest disadvantage is that she is proud and concerned about her image. It's already the limit for her to be straightforward in private. How could she possibly compete with them for her affections in front of so many people?

Impossible! I would never do such a thing!
The elder of Luban Dao, witnessing this scene on the altar, couldn't help but gasp. He turned to Gongshu Jiuyuan and said seriously, "I underestimated this kid... It seems that just making a fierce-looking one won't attract him. Remember to also make a long-legged, approachable childhood sweetheart..."

Gongshu Jiuyuan: "..."

To avoid a chaotic scene unfolding here, Duan Huaige quickly withdrew his hand and said, "Ahem... You all need to be mindful. I am now the fifty-second Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion. What kind of behavior is this?"

"Oh yeah, so-and-so is now the 52nd Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain... There's a pathetic thick barrier between us now." Little Jiang the Great Demon King said sourly, "And what about all that talk about getting rich and powerful by talking about each other... Humph."

“Sigh, sister, don’t blame Brother Huai Ge… He’s making progress, but what about us? We’ve become a burden…” Yan Qiuxi chimed in with her self-pity: “My heart is colder than ice in the dead of winter.”

Duan Huaige: "..."

Where did you come from, Sister Yan?
At this moment, the old Celestial Master slowly walked over with a group of high-ranking officials from the Celestial Master's Mansion. Everyone from Longhu Mountain looked at Duan Huaige with a very complicated expression...

Duan Huaige coughed lightly and handed the Five Thunder Commandery Seal, which he had brought out from the Karma Array, to the current Celestial Master: "Celestial Master, I have not failed you!"

"Don't slander me, I never gave you such an order." The old Celestial Master's expression changed, and he quickly distanced himself, saying, "You were able to retrieve the Celestial Master's Seal purely through your own ability."

"That wouldn't have been possible without the care and support of the Old Celestial Master!" The Old Celestial Master sighed, then held the Five Thunder Commandery Seal and addressed the many sects below: "Everyone, I believe you have all seen how you performed in this Causal Array Trial, but I think there should be no dispute about the position of champion."

"As for the rankings of the rest, we will discuss them later, comprehensively analyze everyone's performance within the causal array, and determine the top four. We will then distribute the corresponding rewards."

“Since Duan Huaige brought back the Celestial Master’s Decree, he can learn the inheritance within it as agreed!”

At this point, the old master's tone suddenly became more serious: "What I'm about to talk about is the wicked demoness who stirred up trouble in the Karma Array... I believe many people have heard of her. She appeared out of nowhere in the Luoyang Secret Realm before, killing many experts. Now that she has recovered, her strength is far greater than before."

"This demoness comes from the Burial Tomb of Kunlun Ruins. She is vicious, ruthless, and bloodthirsty. Moreover, she is proficient in the art of soul control. Possession and mind control are effortless for her."

"I hereby warn all fellow Daoists that the fragment of the Jiangshan Sheji Map is her primary target! The fragment of the Longhu Mountain map will be handed over as agreed. If your family or sect is secretly hiding this fragment, remember to seek assistance as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, some of the cultivators from the various sects below showed thoughtful expressions. There were a total of seven fragments of the Jiangshan Sheji Map. Of these, only the fragments from Luoyang Secret Realm, Longhu Mountain, Shu Mountain, and Zen Sect are still in existence today. The whereabouts of the rest are unknown.

Judging from her performance within the causal array, that demoness's strength is indeed not to be underestimated. Just by possessing Zhang Zhiyao, she was able to barely hold her own against Zhang Tianshi... If her true form were present, perhaps even the fifty-first generation Tianshi would not be her match.

If that's the case... then will these families and sects that secretly possess the fragments of the map also choose to hand them over to the imperial court to avoid disaster?

Upon hearing this, Duan Huaige also realized the key point—could the Old Celestial Master be calling on everyone to donate the incomplete map to the imperial court? Was he preparing something in advance?

Everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, and no one noticed that Zhang Zhiyao, the inconspicuous but ruthless little Taoist priest in the corner, suddenly paused, a red light flashing in his eyes, followed by a slight smile appearing on his lips...

Using the demonic seed in her mind, Taiqing once again sought out the ruthless little celestial master Zhang Zhiyao after leaving the causal array. She sized up the many masters of Longhu Mountain before her, as well as Duan Huaige, and felt an urge to immediately appear and slaughter Longhu Mountain until it was a river of blood…

However, she ultimately did not act on her impulse, because this was, after all, on Mount Longhu, and under the great array of heavenly thunder of Mount Longhu, her Heavenly Demon Banner was almost completely suppressed and could not exert its combat power.

If we want to massacre the Dragon Tiger Mountain, we first need to break their formation...

Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on Zhang Zhiyao's lips.

You want to hand over my "Map of the Land and its People"? Did you even ask for my opinion? Since your Celestial Master's Mansion is courting death, then don't blame me...
