Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 485 News from Wanlingjiangbei

The people from Snow God Mountain were more focused on Xue Bingbing, while the people from Great Luo Palace were naturally more focused on Zhan Qing.

Zhan Qing scratched his head and stretched out his right hand. A ball of light appeared in his hand, which was golden red, but there was a white light at its core.

"The Golden Fire Bell?" Daoist Shenhao raised an eyebrow.

He was a master of the Golden Fire Bell cultivation technique, so Zhan Qing only needed to use his magic power to discover the clues.

"On the surface it's Nanming Fire, but at its core it's Ice and Snow Elite?" Daoist Shenhao nodded. "A dual world of ice and fire, that's interesting."

Zhan Qing, "..."

The young people exchanged silent glances, then looked at Zhan Qing with ambiguous smiles.

Zhan Qing's face turned pale and then red, so he decided to throw caution to the wind and confidently transmitted his voice to the others, "I can play Ice and Fire Nine Heavens with a beautiful woman, can you?"

The smiles on Changyi, Yangshuo, and Xiuming's faces vanished instantly.

Compared to Xue Bingbing's gains, Zhan Qing's gains were not as significant. After all, the Taoist cultivation method was the top cultivation method of the time, and its core concept and artistic conception far surpassed the Snow God Mountain method.

But this does not mean that Zhan Qing gained nothing.

First, his spiritual soul became stronger and his senses became more acute, which greatly accelerated his daily cultivation speed.

Secondly, he is more familiar with the operation and manipulation of the Ice and Snow Technique, which allows for more variations and opportunities in combat.

Third, having a beautiful and understanding wife makes daily life more enjoyable, and with a happy mood, one's cultivation efficiency will naturally be higher.

Everyone:? ? ?
“This is the legendary win-win situation,” Gu Zhao said with a smile, looking at Chang Yi and Yang Shuo. “You two also need to work hard, lest Zhan Qing overtakes you.”

Chang Yi and Yang Shuo: ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3
After Zhan Qing and Xue Bingbing successfully formed a union, everyone returned to the backyard to begin their wedding banquet.

After the banquet, Xue Yining and the others returned to Snow God Mountain, while Zhan Qing and Xue Bingbing went back to their bridal chamber.

……

The days that followed appeared calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging beneath.

The search in Yazhou is ongoing, but no trace of the demon has been found, nor has there been any indication of large-scale casualties among the people in any area.

Gu Zhao concluded that there might really be no demonic cultivators in Yazhou.

Although Shanzhou only has one branch temple, Da Luo Temple, at Yuntian Cliff in Yunhai Prefecture, the old Taoist priests and disciples of Da Luo Palace have already spread throughout Shanzhou, subduing demons and monsters, and punishing evil.

Similar to Yongzhou and Yazhou, Daluo Palace only built a branch temple in its own prefecture and did not continue to occupy prefectures and counties to monopolize incense offerings. Instead, it simply acted as a chivalrous force in various places.

As a result, they did not antagonize the local forces with a decent reputation, and even became friends with the Red Lantern Cult.

The incident began when Daoist Hanzheng and Daoist Hanxuan arrived in Shanzhou to catch up on their upgrade progress and rescued a female ghost from the Red Lantern Cult who was almost eaten by a demon.

Then the leader of the Red Lantern Cult personally went to the Da Luo Temple on Yuntian Cliff to express his gratitude.

The leader of the Red Lantern Cult had no malevolent aura and was a natural ally of the Great Luo Palace. Therefore, Master Gao Yue and the others warmly received him and explained the philosophy of the Great Luo Palace.

And so they became friends.

The Great Mountain Dharma King fell into a deep slumber, the Iron King Mountain Lord sealed off his mountain in seclusion, and the Hidden Moon Lord retreated to the mountains and forests. The situation in Shanzhou changed drastically in a short time. The Great Luo Palace and the Red Lantern Sect roamed around, suppressing many demons and monsters so much that they could not raise their heads.

……

"How is the Central Plains?" Gu Zhao asked Li Qingshuang, who had returned from Jiangbei.

"The old man of the ancient pine on Songtao Mountain in Mingzhou." Li Qingshuang lay in Gu Zhao's arms and got down to business. "A while ago, a large number of people in Mingzhou did suffer suddenly, but the disaster was scattered and lasted for a long time, so the Xuanwei Divine Sect and the Spirit Court did not pay attention to it." Li Qingshuang's face was grim.

Gu Zhao smacked his lips but didn't say anything.

So many people are suffering!
However, because of their scattered distribution and long duration, the Xuanwei Divine Sect and the Lingfa Academy, which were forces of the imperial court, did not pay attention to them.

This shows that what they care about is indeed incense offerings and a large population of people, which are used to support the cultivation of the Xuanwei God Sect's ghosts and gods, and to provide suitable candidates for the Spirit Lords of the Spirit Court.

As long as too many people don't die at once, causing too much commotion and directly shaking the court's rule, the Xuanwei Divine Sect and the Spirit Court will turn a blind eye to some things.

Therefore, although the areas ruled by the imperial court were orderly and had benevolent forces such as Bailing Mountain and the Holy Union Sect, there were also those who occasionally killed people to refine treasures and practiced yin-yang cultivation.

Of course, their actions were much more restrained than those of the Netherfire Sect and the Ink Lake Ink Dragon in Wanling Jiangnan.

"Go on, and then what?" Gu Zhao asked.

"Then, just recently, the number of people suffering in Mingzhou suddenly increased dramatically," Li Qingshuang said. "Among them, a Spirit Lord of the Spirit Court who was investigating died, which finally attracted the attention of the Xuanwei Divine Sect and the Spirit Court."

While we were still investigating, the old man Gusong seemed to be preparing to leave Mingzhou. Just then, a spirit lord from the Spirit Court noticed the anomaly. He only wanted to stop him and ask him some questions, but the old man suddenly attacked!

The Spirit Lord was no match for him and was killed by the Old Man of Ancient Pine. However, the Dean of the Spirit Court of Mingzhou and the Commander of the Xuanwei Divine Sect had already reacted and led two other experts to besiege him.

In the end, the old man of the ancient pine tree revealed his demonic form, severely injuring a master and the leader of the Xuanwei Divine Sect, but he himself was also killed.

The Spirit Court investigated afterward and found that the area beneath Pine Wave Mountain had indeed been transformed into a demonic realm. If he were to unleash it, it might corrupt thousands of miles of land with demonic energy.

"I see," Gu Zhao said, indicating his understanding.

The demon is ruthless, the people die unjustly, and the imperial court is indifferent. Although this world is not the end of the world, it is not a peaceful and prosperous era either.

Gu Zhao also felt a little sorry for him.

Another great demon with thousands of years of cultivation, he must have at least three lightning seeds, right?
Pity!
At this point, Gu Zhao became somewhat puzzled again, "Wasn't he quite good at hiding his true nature before? He killed people to cultivate demons, and the process took a long time and covered a wide area. Why has it accelerated recently?"

“It seems to be right at the moment of breakthrough.” Li Qingshuang was also a little puzzled. After thinking for a moment, she explained, “Maybe things went relatively smoothly before, so I didn’t pay attention this time.”

It's also possible that he heard some rumors that the Xuanwei Divine Sect and the Spirit Court were investigating the cultivation of demonic arts, so he was in a hurry to break through his cultivation level, which is why he revealed his weakness.

Gu Zhao nodded, accepting Li Qingshuang's explanation.

“Now that the Daluo Palace has established its reputation in Jiangbei, I’ll have Uncle Yansong and Uncle Yihong go and take a look around Jiangbei,” Gu Zhao said to Li Qingshuang. “It’ll also be a way to help the Lingfa Academy.”

Touched, Li Qingshuang silenced Gu Zhao with her cherry lips.

……

A certain underground cave, a certain existence.

"idiot!"

"I asked you to deal with the Great Luo Palace, but you're in such a hurry to break through?"

"They even went to Jiangnan, but before they even left Mingzhou, they were discovered by those little demons and devils."

"They can't even handle a few minor demons and ghosts with mixed lineages!"

"waste!"
