Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 409 The Pagoda Enters the Water, Its Fame Spreads Far and Wide

Judging from the looks of it, this tilted Taixu Tower could not possibly have fallen back to its original position.

It would break if it fell into a nearby village or town.

Chu Tianshu reached out and grabbed the Heavenly Eye, stuffing it into his belt. He crouched down, stomped his feet on the ground with all his might, and with a loud bang, flew into the sky.

When he reached a height of more than 20 zhang, his body began to slow down.

The levitation ability of a normal enlightened being is not enough to support them flying too high.

But Chu Tianshu could blast through the air, allowing himself to rise again, section by section.

The Taixu Tower itself is also falling.

Before long, the distance between the two had been reduced.

Xiao Liang flew out from the top door of the pagoda, carrying a human head in his left hand. Upon seeing Chu Tianshu, he sighed.

"This man was truly ferocious; even as I beheaded him, his head still attacked me."

Chu Tianshu took a closer look and realized that the head wasn't being carried; it seemed to be biting Xiao Liang's sleeve.

Xiao Liang simply made a hand seal with his left hand and pressed it onto Chen Zhuangzhi's forehead.

Chu Tianshu: "Huh, you just sealed the evil spirit inside its head, but you haven't killed it yet?"

Xiao Liang laughed and said, "Didn't you say that you were very interested in the souls of demonic cultivators, and that you would be the one to deliver the final blow?"

“Last time we fought, I thought the situation was critical and I was exhausted, so I had no time to hold back. But when I saw how good your stamina was, I realized that it wasn’t a big deal for you.”

He had just heard Zhang Tongxuan's dying howl and mutterings, and felt quite at ease.

As for Chen Zhuangzhi, they only sealed him off for the time being, without killing him completely.

"Brothers!"

Chu Tianshu beamed and gave a thumbs up.

A beam of cyan-gold finger force shot out from the thumb and slammed into Chen Zhuangzhi's head.

[The Strange Gate Killer: His father is cold-hearted, like a guest temporarily staying. He takes his master as his father, and his demonic thoughts grow stronger day by day.]

Although he practiced Qimen Dunjia with a perverse mind, he used formations to conceal himself, but all of these methods resulted in execution.

Characteristics: A unique and ingenious execution formation. Wherever this evil spirit resides, it forms its own unique and ingenious formation, concealing its form, allowing it to traverse in all directions, and inflict torture and murder.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Liang threw the head back into the pagoda and glanced down at the ground.

"We can't let this pagoda fall into the river over there. Let's think of a way to make it fall into the river over there?"

Xiao Liang pointed.

The headquarters of the Tongxuan School is surrounded by towering cliffs, but not far away is a wide river that stretches like a green ribbon.

The soil nourishes the water, and the water reflects the mountain scenery.

Only in places like Guilin County can the water be so clear and blue.

Chu Tianshu nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking, but I need to be on the safe side first."

As he spoke, he placed his palm on the tower.

He absorbed the abundant water-attribute essence between heaven and earth, channeling it into the tower to sense the damage and whether there was any risk of it exploding in mid-air.

This powerful energy dissipates and separates the restless energy.

Xiao Liang also seized the opportunity and pointed his sword at the pagoda.

The inside of the pagoda was immediately covered with a layer of frost, and every crack was gradually filled with ice.

This Taixu Tower is, after all, a flying treasure that embodies a great deal of wisdom and human effort.

Chu Tianshu also considered keeping this treasure.

Otherwise, he would have used the original text of Nan Hua to absorb all the metal elemental energy in the tower, and then shattered the tower with a few hundred strikes.

Those fragile remnants, scattered and falling to the ground, posed no threat whatsoever.

At this point, however, we have to put in a little more effort.

After stabilizing the situation inside the pagoda, the two hovered around it and descended with the pagoda, occasionally using gentle palm strikes to adjust the pagoda's direction.

Just as the pagoda was about to fall into the water, the two of them used all their strength to lift it up from mid-air.

Boom!

Even with the two of them supporting them, the momentum slowed down slightly.

The massive iron tower crashed into the water, creating huge waves that caused the surface to ripple violently, with white spray spreading outwards.

Xiao Liang stepped onto the water, creating a block of ice three zhang in size, and Chu Tianshu landed beside him.

The ice block, like a fallen leaf, rose and fell with the waves, drifting towards the shore.

The two of them didn't have to do anything; they just watched as the Eiffel Tower slowly sank.

The water flow here was not rapid to begin with, and given the weight of the iron tower, it would not be easily washed away once it sank to the bottom.

"Among the Taoist priests in the Tongxuan Sect's headquarters, at least one-sixth were the main culprits, and there were quite a few accomplices as well."

Looking at the scenery on the river, Chu Tianshu said slowly, "It's up to you, Marquis, to handle this kind of thing. When the time comes, we can have those accomplices come and do the work to retrieve this iron tower."

Xiao Liang yawned.

"I got this title of Marquis for nothing, and I'm not good at these things, so let Old Man Huang do it."

He instinctively wanted to push away a troublesome matter, but then he suddenly thought, "Oh dear, I wonder how badly Old Man Huang is injured."

"Let's go, let's go back and take a look first."

Chu Tianshu shook his head slightly.

Although Xiao Liang's title was practically handed to him for free, judging from how well he managed Pengcheng, it's clear that he's still more skilled at management than Huangshan Patriarch.

He has the ability and the ambition. Well, once he cultivates the True Scripture of Boiling the Sun more deeply, the effects of the solidification of the Refining Treasure Method will be largely resolved, and he will most likely take the initiative to get involved in the reorganization of the Tongxuan Sect.

Chu Tianshu looked at the Qi count bar again, and it was still not full.

However, it was just a tiny bit short.

After all, killing Qing Sheng first and then fighting Tong Xuan were too close in time.

News of the battle in Heze has probably not been fully confirmed or spread yet.

Once all this news spreads, the life force meter should be full.

Just as Chu Tianshu had predicted.

The fact that Qing Sheng and others were killed is only now being gradually confirmed, spreading from the mouths of Gao Min and others in the Northern Dynasty.

The Xiao and Hou families, as well as the Dugu family, were all implicated, causing a great uproar in both the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Several days later, news of the Tongxuan Sect began to circulate.

Chen Zhuangzhi is actually a disciple of the Tongxuan Sect!

Zhang Tongxuan actually imprisoned eight highly accomplished Taoist masters, including the Huangshan Patriarch and the Old Lady Gao?!
Of the six emperors of the Southern Dynasties, only two survived.

Of the five sages of the Northern Dynasties, only two remain.

This is because the Northern Celestial Masters lineage has been secluded in the mountains for a long time and has no involvement in the ups and downs of the martial arts world.

However, when the Northern Celestial Masters Sect was thriving, it also had countless allies and close friends.

Even within the territory of the Southern Dynasty, many people were on good terms with the Northern Celestial Master, and they would occasionally exchange letters.

Such a momentous event in the martial arts world eventually reached the gates of the Northern Celestial Masters sect.

In the old forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains.

The Taoist priests who had settled in a village received a new batch of carrier pigeons. As soon as the old priests saw the message, they all showed expressions of shock.

When they compared the contents of the letters, they found that they were all saying the same few things, so they had no choice but to believe it.

Immediately, the two Taoist priests who were now in charge of the village hurriedly went to the large wooden house in the northeast corner.

The weather gets cold early in the deep mountains.

Inside the large wooden house, however, it was as if there were a furnace scorching the room, a warm, reddish glow that was almost oppressive.

The two old Taoist priests opened the door, but the interior was very simple, with no incense burner at all.

There was only one solemn Taoist priest with white hair, white eyebrows, and a silver beard reaching his chest, sitting with a whisk in his hand, his face ruddy and his body radiating warmth.

A fist-sized, bright red pill hung three feet above his head, spinning rapidly and emitting a uniform red glow.

"Senior brother, senior brother, look at this!"

The Northern Celestial Master, Kou Daoren, slowly finished his practice, caught the pill on his head with his left hand, took the letter with his right hand, and chuckled softly.

"More news from outside? What has happened that made you so hasty... Qing Sheng is dead?!"

When Kou Daoren saw the contents of the letter, his expression changed, seemingly both sad and happy.

"This evil monk killed so many of my disciples, and he finally got his comeuppance."

After the initial shock, the Taoist priest beside him was also overjoyed and joked, "Senior brother, retribution is a monk's way of saying it."

Master Kou was taken aback. Recalling how eloquent he had been in his time to spread his teachings, he couldn't help but laugh.

"The way of man is to take from those who have little to give to those who have more; the way of Heaven is to take from those who have more and give to those who have less."

The Northern Celestial Master waved his whisk.

"As the Tao Te Ching has long said, if people are greedy and plunder too much and oppress the common people, even if they may not be punished in the short span of a human life, in the view of the Way of Heaven, there will eventually be a day when the excess is taken away to make up for the deficiency."

"The retribution of Heaven, though its name is different, has the same meaning."

Kou Daoren was no longer the same person he used to be. He retorted with a few words, but it was just a joke, and his gaze returned to the letter.

"But I also thought that this old man, Qing Sheng, might not get his retribution in his lifetime."

"At most, the blame will fall on Qingsheng Temple after his death, and on his disciples and followers."

The Taoist priest beside him praised, "This Fellow Daoist Chu has truly rid the world of a great scourge. I heard that he has established a sect in Denglai Mountain Village. Should we present him with a generous gift?"

The other Taoist priest disagreed.

"We have already retired to seclusion, why should we cause trouble? With what we have left in our mountain sect, what can we give away? If we give away too little, we might make enemies instead."

Master Kou was still reading the letter, muttering to himself.

"This Fellow Daoist Chu also killed Daoist Tongxuan?"

“We discussed the Dao for a long time back then, and I felt that Tongxuan was unfathomable. I was even afraid that he was a bit better than Qingsheng. Sure enough, he did great things.”

Before retiring into seclusion, Master Kou had laid a trap, deliberately allowing Qingsheng Temple to abduct Tong Shouxian, a disciple of his own sect who had gone astray.

Tongxuan had met the Bronze Longevity Immortal and knew there was something wrong with that object.

If Tongxuan truly harbors great ambitions, then the best opportunity to strike would be during the year or two that Qingsheng Monk is obsessed with the Bronze Longevity Immortal.

Later, news came from friends outside that the two years at Qingsheng Temple had been peaceful and uneventful.

Kou Daoren thought he had misunderstood Tongxuan.

Looking back now, it's probably because Zhang Tongxuan wasn't satisfied with just killing people; he wanted to capture them alive.

They didn't take action because they weren't confident they could capture Qing Sheng alive.

"Now that Fellow Daoist Chu has slain a Tongxuan cultivator, he must have experienced the uniqueness of Tongxuan techniques and magic treasures. He will likely be curious, but he will also encounter obstacles."

Master Kou looked at the pills in his hand.

"In that case, our Northern Celestial Masters Sect does indeed have some generous gifts to offer."
