The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 441 Chen Tang Pass

With the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect abolished, the Chan Sect's lineage was almost wiped out. Not to mention Yuanshi Tianzun, even Taishang Laojun couldn't sit still.

But before that, the Tongtian Sect Leader had always stayed on Jin'ao Island and never came out.

No matter how many outer disciples died, he remained unmoved.

Not to mention that Ma Yuan was just an insignificant nobody among the outer disciples.

With poor talent and aptitude, after so many years of apprenticeship, all he has to offer is his swordsmanship and the unorthodox bone claw technique.

Moreover, the Tongtian Sect Leader calculated with his fingers and knew that Ma Yuan had made the first move, which was why Li Jingxiao killed him.

Although he was unhappy, he didn't intend to do anything to Li Jingxiao.

And to be honest, the Tongtian Sect Leader also knew that among his outer disciples...

Many of them are not good things.

Decades ago, when the matter of bestowing titles upon the gods was being discussed.

He had repeatedly instructed his disciples that when a great calamity struck, they would need to go into seclusion and cultivate in quietude.

Only by frequently reciting the Huangting Sutra can one avoid calamities.

Let's just be frank, you guys are all up to no good.

If they still don't behave, they'll definitely end up on the Investiture of the Gods list.

Unfortunately, apart from his direct disciples...

Of the tens of thousands of outer disciples of the Jie Sect, very few were obedient.

He was easily fooled by Shen Gongbao and went to help the Yin Shang against the Western Zhou.

Perhaps in Tongtian's mind, those who disobeyed him were simply dead.

Finally, he was listed on the Investiture of the Gods, which can be considered a way to make use of what he had.

Unfortunately, once the great calamity begins, there are many things that even a sage cannot decide.
-
Only after Li Jingxiao killed Ma Yuan did the anger in his heart subside.

Then he thought about how to avoid being hunted down as an enemy by the Jie Sect.

Their gazes quickly fell upon Shi Ji.

Although the disciples of the Jie Sect were arrogant, they were not all unreasonable people.

If Shi Ji can prove that Ma Yuan was jealous and took the initiative to kill her.

Even if the Tongtian Sect Leader were to appear before him, Li Jingxiao would not be afraid.

He put his arm around Shi Ji, who was still in a daze, and asked with concern in his voice.

"Did you frighten the lady?"

Shi Ji snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head.

At this moment, however, the look in his eyes when he looked at Li Jingxiao was not only filled with gratitude, but also with a hint of fear.

With Ma Yuan's death, Shi Ji is no longer the first disciple of the Jie Sect to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods.

With her fate changed, Shi Ji felt a sense of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.

My mind and spirit became clearer.

I had a vague feeling that I had escaped a disaster.

As for what kind of calamity it was, Shi Ji didn't know.

But since he had achieved immortality, his sixth sense was naturally far more acute than that of ordinary people.

So, despite her fear of Li Jingxiao's ruthless methods, Shiji quickly threw herself into Li Jingxiao's arms.

While holding him tightly, she whispered, "I'm alright."

After saying that, he shook his head and sighed.

She continued with some emotion, "I have known Fellow Daoist Ma for many years, but I never expected him to suddenly do such a cruel thing to you, my husband."

Please, my lord, do not misunderstand me.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxiao thought to himself that it seemed Lady Shiji had indeed fallen in love with him.

Otherwise, why would he say such a thing!
Then I felt sorry for Ma Yuan, for the bond between our fellow disciples that had lasted for thousands of years.

It can't even compare to three months of romantic love.

However, this is certainly a good thing for Lee Kyung-hyo.

He unconsciously tightened his grip on Shi Ji's arm.

After some comforting words and sweet talk, the woman quickly forgot about Ma Yuan's death.

She even felt that if her man hadn't been so skilled, he might have been injured by Ma Yuan instead.

That would be the last thing I wanted to see. Thinking about it that way, the guilt I felt immediately disappeared.

The two quickly regained their composure and continued flying eastward.

The journey was delayed until ten days later when I attended a lecture at Jin'ao Island.

Time wasn't tight, so the flight wasn't particularly fast.

However, Shi Ji used to cultivate mostly in Skull Mountain and White Bone Cave.

I don't know much about this ancient world.

Fortunately, there were many scenic spots along the way to the East China Sea for Li Jingxiao and Shi Ji to visit.

Incidentally, they were both very excited and thrilled when they played matches while camping in the wild every night.

When passing through cities, Li Jingxiao would take Shi Ji with him, and they would disguise themselves as ordinary people to visit the city and inquire about its inquiries.

When Li Jingxiao passed through Chentang Pass that day, he immediately thought of Li Jing and Nezha.

They pulled Shi Ji along, transformed into husband and wife, and entered a restaurant.

Perhaps because this world is a world of immortals and gods, the cities built by humans are generally larger than those in real history.

The local customs, culture, and economy have also prospered considerably.

The restaurant that Li Jingxiao brought Shi Ji into was actually six stories high.

Not only is the scenery beautiful, but you can also climb up to see most of the buildings and landscapes within Chentang Pass.

Li Jingxiao was not short of money. He casually tossed a ten-tael silver ingot to the shopkeeper and was immediately led up to the fifth floor by the waiter.

As for the sixth floor, that's a place specifically for enjoying the view.

If you want to eat, then go to the fifth floor or below.

We ordered a table full of good wine and food, and casually gave the restaurant a tip.

It was easy to find out that evil spirits were lurking in Li Jing's residence.

The reason was that Li Jing's wife was pregnant for three years, her belly was as big as a ball, but she showed no signs of giving birth.

But Li Jingxiao knew that Nezha should be born soon.

The emergence of this demonic star also means that Shiji's peril is only a few years away.

So when Li Jingxiao thought about it, his first thought was to steal the 'Heaven-Shaking Bow' from Chentang Pass.

Without Nezha's mischief, an arrow accidentally killed Biyun, the boy from Shiji.

There's also the story of Nezha coming to find the bow and arrows of the Heaven-Shaking Bow, and injuring Caiyun Tongzi.

Shi Ji wouldn't necessarily kill Nezha to avenge her servant.

They wouldn't have chased her all the way to Jinxia Cave, only to have Taiyi Zhenren pretend to be confused and directly send Shiji to the Investiture of the Gods.

As for killing Nezha before he was even born...

Li Jingxiao never even considered it.

Even disregarding the fact that Nezha was Taiyi Zhenren's chosen disciple, Nezha was the reincarnation of Nuwa's child spirit pearl.

He is also a future guardian deity of the Chan Sect. If we kill him, not only will Goddess Nuwa not let Li Jingxiao off the hook.

Yuanshi Tianzun will not let him go either.

Moreover, it was not Nezha who truly killed Shiji, but Taiyi Zhenren.

Even Nezha could be a pawn in the hands of Taiyi Zhenren and the Chan Sect.

Of course, Nezha's mischievousness is undeniable.

Shi Ji rarely appears in human cities, and naturally, she rarely tastes human food and drink.

Of course, Shiji had already achieved enlightenment through cultivation and no longer needed to eat.

But Li Jingxiao maintained this habit, and Shi Ji naturally followed suit.

The two ate their food and drinks while chatting idly in hushed tones.

Occasionally, Li Jingxiao would tell a few dirty jokes, which would make Shi Ji blush.

But while he complained, he was secretly pleased and looking forward to Li Jingxiao telling more of these dirty jokes.

It's clear that there's a lot of truth to the saying "women don't love good men."

However, Li Jingxiao simply couldn't stomach the alcohol.

So Li Jingxiao quickly took out the Monkey Spirit Wine, but the two of them didn't drink for long.

Suddenly, a Taoist priest was seen climbing up to the fifth floor. His gaze swept across the room and landed on the monkey wine.
