Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 278 The Situation of Qianshan Prefecture
"Senior Brother Jingfeng!"

"Senior Brother Mingchong!"

One was a senior from the Celestial Master's Mansion, and the other was a successor of the Fengyue Sect. They both belonged to the Zhengyi sect in Tianxia and addressed each other as senior brothers. They had a good relationship.

Master Jingfeng also introduced the two friends he brought with him, a man and a woman, a human and a ghost.

The man bowed respectfully, saying, "Xu Jing is just a scholar; his current situation is entirely due to my wife's support."

The woman bowed slightly. "Yue Yan and my husband have worked so hard in their cultivation. Without Senior Jing Feng, their hundred years of cultivation would have been nothing but a waste."

The other young woman glanced around the hall before finally focusing her gaze on Gu Zhao. She was poised and graceful, and gave a gentle bow, saying, "Xu Sirou greets the Palace Master of the Great Luo Palace."

"Please sit down!" Gu Zhao invited them to sit down, and the embroiderer served tea again.

After introducing Ziyun Jun and the others from Daluo Palace, Gu Zhao kept Zhuo Qingyan and Huang Yuan to accompany the guests, and Li Qingshuang also stayed behind, but did not reveal her identity.

Master Jingfeng intended to just give a brief introduction, but the couple took the initiative to talk about their story.

Xu Jing and Yue Yan were a well-matched couple. They were from Qianshan Prefecture in Jiangzhou. They had always been indifferent to outside affairs and devoted themselves to cultivation. Later, they had a daughter, Xu Sirou, and then lived a normal life in seclusion on the outskirts of the prefecture.

Xu Sirou followed her parents in their spiritual practice and also lived and made friends in the prefecture, going on outings and excursions. However, during one of these excursions, she was unexpectedly noticed by a disciple of the Black Furnace Old Ghost of Black Furnace Mountain in Qianshan Prefecture.

The old ghost's disciple forcibly abducted Xu Sirou, but unexpectedly, Xu Jing had marked his own daughter. He arrived in time, but fearing the old ghost of the Black Furnace, he dared not kill him. He only taught him a lesson and sent him away.

Unexpectedly, the old ghost's disciple went back to complain, which prompted the old ghost of the black furnace to come in person to propose marriage for his disciple.

joke!

That brat had a blue face and fangs, a head of yellow hair, and was rude and foul-mouthed. How could Xu Jing possibly be interested in him? So he decisively refused, which angered the old ghost, who then tried to snatch him by force.

Xu Jing and Yue Yan were no match for him, but just then, Daoist Jingfeng happened to pass by. Seeing that one side was filled with malevolent energy and the other with pure yin energy, he didn't even need to think about making a move.

The Northern Yin Fengdu Law reappeared in the world. Daoist Jingfeng transformed into Fengdu, and the Mingling Prison covered an area of ​​several miles. The eight ghost generals attacked together. The terrifying ghost prison environment and the pressure of the Fengdu gods directly suppressed the opponent, who thought they had provoked some ghost emperor!

"Unfortunately, that old ghost of the black furnace is indeed very powerful. Even with the help of Brother Xu and his wife, I could only injure him, but I couldn't keep him here." Master Jingfeng's tone was calm, but he showed no regret.

Xu Jing hurriedly said, "That Black Furnace Ghost King has a thousand years of cultivation and is very famous in Qianshan Prefecture. Senior Jingfeng is already extraordinary for being able to injure that old ghost."

Ziyun Jun nodded and said seriously, "I have also heard of the Black Furnace Ghost King. He has a high level of cultivation and possesses a Black Fire Furnace with immense power. If he covers a person, he can turn them into ashes in an instant."

Master Jingfeng was taken aback. "I haven't seen him use this furnace."

Ziyun Jun pondered, "Perhaps it was placed on Black Furnace Mountain and was never taken out."

Master Jingfeng nodded. "Then we do need to be careful."

At this point, Gu Zhao, Daoist Jingfeng, and Daoist Mingchong exchanged a smile and then began to talk about the situation in Qianshan Prefecture.

Qianshan Prefecture is also the prefecture city of Jiangzhou in Wanlingjiangnan. It is located south of Pingjiang Prefecture where Mojiao is located and west of Baishi Prefecture, which they later occupied. However, it has little border with Baishi Prefecture and is not as good as Shide Prefecture to the east and Yazhou Tianquan Prefecture, which passes through Wuyailing.

However, as the Taoist masters of the Daluo Palace gained higher and higher levels of cultivation, the places they traveled to naturally became more and more distant. For example, Taoist Master Yansong went to Pingjiang Prefecture, and even Yun Yang went to Shide Prefecture.

Therefore, it wasn't actually that far for Daoist Jingfeng to go to Qianshan Prefecture. "There's a Tianjue Society in Qianshan Prefecture, which is similar to the Jinfeng Sect in Changping Prefecture. I've seen their branches in both the prefectural and county towns of Qianshan Prefecture," Daoist Jingfeng explained.

"The name is certainly imposing," Gu Zhao said with a shake of his head and a smile.

"Huangtiantan and Sanshishenjiao, their names are quite imposing," Master Mingchong said with a smile.

"Is there anything else?" Gu Zhao asked.

“There is also a Wasp Valley.” Master Jingfeng frowned slightly. “The valley master is a queen bee who has become a spirit, but she is cruel and often leads a swarm of wasps out of the valley. Although she has not slaughtered any prefectural or county towns, she has killed quite a few people.”

Xu Jing added, "The queen bee's cultivation level is even higher than that of the Black Furnace Ghost King, and she has hundreds or even thousands of cultivated wasps assisting her. Apart from the leader of the Heavenly Annihilation Society, no one in Qianshan Prefecture is her match."

"Apart from that, there aren't many well-organized forces in Qianshan Prefecture. On the contrary, there are more small and scattered forces like Black Furnace Mountain than in Changping Prefecture and White Stone Prefecture," Master Jingfeng summarized.

“Moreover, Qianshan Prefecture is connected to Wuya Ridge in the south, so there are more experts there,” Li Qingshuang added, then gave Gu Zhao a deep look. “And it may also be related to Wuya Ridge.”

Li Qingshuang had heard about the style of the people in the Daluo Palace: they hated evil as if it were their enemy, were ruthless and merciless, and when faced with harmful demons and monsters, they would eradicate evil completely and kill them all.

In terms of righteousness and protection of mortals, the Daluo Palace is even more like a court than the Xuanwei Divine Sect and the Lingfa Court.

Maybe……

Is it because the Great Luo Palace is full of human mages?
“Wuya Ridge…” Gu Zhao pondered for a moment, “But aren’t all the demons and monsters in Wuya Ridge peaceful and unassuming?”

Li Qingshuang said calmly, "Being indifferent to worldly affairs only means that they don't harm people, but it doesn't mean that they like people."

Gu Zhao nodded, and both Daoist Jingfeng and Daoist Mingchong expressed their understanding.

Xu Jing said again, "Senior Jingfeng's Taoist skills are profound, saving our family of three from dire straits. Therefore, my husband and I have come to express our gratitude and also wish to have our daughter become a disciple of the Daluo Palace."

While gesturing for her daughter to kneel down, Yue Yan said to Gu Zhao, "My daughter is kind-hearted and has some talent. She is also quite perceptive when serving tea and water. Please grant me permission, Sect Leader."

Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow and looked at Daoist Jingfeng.

Master Jingfeng stroked his beard and said, “Although Miss Xu is in human form, she is born with yin energy, which is indeed quite suitable for the ‘Northern Yin Fengdu Method’. I intend to take her as my disciple and have her join the Great Luo Palace.”

Gu Zhao had no objection, "It's fine as long as it's decided by my martial uncle."

Thus, the Daluo Palace gained another female disciple, who was a true disciple like He Cailian and Chen Zhi.

Zhuo Qingyan, who also practiced the "Northern Yin Fengdu Method," pulled Xu Sirou aside, casually asked her some questions, and then called Chen Zhi over, instructing her to take Xu Sirou to make arrangements.

Then Gu Zhao looked at Xu Jing and his wife, "Do you two know the location of Black Furnace Mountain?"

"I know." Xu Jing nodded, then his expression changed, "Could it be..."

Just then, another streak of light flew in from the horizon near the Great Luo Palace. Gu Zhao smiled faintly, "Then I'll trouble Brother Xu to lead the way and take my uncles to visit Black Furnace Mountain."
