Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

More than half a month has passed, and Xu Qing is still in seclusion in the Illusion Moon Cave, refining and analyzing the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, and further deducing the killing path divine power - Immortal Slaughtering!
Master Puhong, who came from Tianyin Temple on Mount Sumeru in the west, also arrived at Qingyun Mountain today.

Upon learning that Abbot Puhong of Tianyin Temple had personally come to visit, the major peak masters were all alarmed.

Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang, Shang Zhengliang, and Master Shuiyue, among others, descended the mountain to welcome Abbot Puhong.

Because the other party is the abbot of Tianyin Temple, a top expert who has cultivated the Great Brahma Prajna to its strongest level.

Since they were invited, they naturally had to take it seriously.

"Abbot Puhong's personal visit is truly an honor for my Qingyun Sect."

Abbot Puhong smiled and clasped his hands together as he watched the familiar Qingyun Sect masters greet him.

"Amitabha, it's been a long time since we last met. Your cultivation in the Dao has improved even more."

The two sides did not exchange pleasantries for long in front of the mountain gate before entering the Qingyun Sect and heading towards Tongtian Peak.

Meanwhile, at Tongtian Peak, Chang Jian had already arrived at the entrance of the Illusion Moon Cave and was softly calling out towards the cave:

"Master, Abbot Puhong of Tianyin Temple has arrived."

Before the Zhuxian Ancient Sword, Xu Qing, dressed in a jet-black Daoist robe, suddenly opened his eyes. His fierce light seemed to flash like blood, and his killing aura vanished in an instant.

He concealed his aura. He had made great progress in his deductions over the past few days, and the basic structure had already been formed. It wouldn't be long before he could truly deduce that killing technique.

"They arrived rather quickly," Xu Qing said softly.

The Qingyun Sect is far from Mount Sumeru in the west, and it would take a long time for news to travel there, yet the other side arrived so quickly.

This demonstrates the importance he placed on the matter of destroying the demonic cult.

He suddenly stood up, turned and stepped out of the cave. As if teleporting, he ignored the many winding passages and appeared in front of Chang Jian.

"Master!" Chang Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed.

Xu Qing nodded slightly, said nothing, took another step, and disappeared from the spot.

When Chang Jian heard Xu Qing's voice for a long time, he carefully raised his eyes, only to find that there was no one in front of him.

They had no idea when their master left.

"Master's cultivation is becoming more and more unfathomable..."

Chang Jian was amazed. Every time he saw Xu Qing, he had a strange feeling as if he were meeting an immortal.

Becoming an immortal is the pursuit of all cultivators.

He was very curious whether his master was about to become an immortal.

Unfortunately, his cultivation level was too low; he had only barely reached the first level of the Upper Clarity Realm.

After the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament ended, he received the top four reward and his cultivation level improved further, breaking through from the Jade Purity Realm to the Upper Purity Realm.

However, his cultivation breakthrough was still far from that of his master.

…………

Tongtian Peak.

In the vast square, Abbot Puhong and his entourage were brought here by Tian Buyi and others.

Xu Qing suddenly appeared, looked at Pu Hong, and, sensing the other's powerful physique, paused slightly before smiling:

"Abbot Puhong's presence is a great honor, I have failed to greet you properly."

Since the other party was the abbot of Tianyin Temple, he had come in person at the invitation of the temple, which was a great honor for him, so Xu Qing naturally had to treat him with the same courtesy.

"Amitabha Buddha, how have you been, Dao Xuan Zhenren?"

Pu Hong's gaze fell on Xu Qing, and after sensing the unfathomable fluctuations of magical power emanating from the other party, his heart stirred slightly.

It seems the opponent's cultivation level has indeed broken through again!

Pu Hong made a preliminary judgment.

"This is Dao Xuan, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect?! Such immense pressure!"

Faxiang followed Puhong, his head slightly lowered, and secretly glanced at Xu Qing, but he felt an extremely powerful pressure.

This is a natural expression, not a deliberate release of oppression.

This sense of oppression is far, far stronger than that of any other peak leader.

"Faxiang, come and pay your respects to Daoxuan Zhenren."

Upon hearing Pu Hong's soft call, Fa Xiang composed himself, stepped forward, bowed slightly to Xu Qing, and clasped his hands together.
"This humble monk, Faxiang, pays his respects to the Daoxuan Zhenren!"

Xu Qing nodded slightly and said with a faint smile, "Not bad, you've mastered the Great Brahma Prajna quite well. It seems Abbot Puhong has a worthy successor."

Faxiang is the top young talent at Tianyin Temple, and his strength is comparable to Lu Xueqi's. He is indeed not bad among the younger generation.

Faxiang smiled modestly: "This humble monk still has a long way to go in terms of Buddhist teachings compared to the abbot's, and there is so much I need to learn."

Pu Hong smiled with satisfaction. This child was highly intelligent, well-versed in Buddhism, spoke pleasantly, and was not arrogant at all. He was perfect.

He was grooming him to be the future leader of Tianyin Temple.

Xu Qing smiled; this little monk was indeed quite interesting.

Tian Buyi and the others had just met Faxiang and had a great appreciation for the young monk.

"Abbot Puhong, please come into the hall for a chat," Xu Qing invited.

This square is certainly not a place for idle chatter and gatherings.

As for the others, they were entertained by other disciples of Tongtian Peak.

Abbot Puhong followed Xu Qing and his group into the Yuqing Hall.

"Where is the Taoist Cangsong from Dragon Head Peak?"

During the journey, Abbot Puhong asked curiously.

The seven leaders of the Qingyun Sect were present during the discussion of the war between the righteous and the demonic, and six of them were also present. Why was Daoist Cangsong the only one missing?

However, his curious question caused Tian Buyi and the others to change their expressions.

Abbot Puhong also noticed that the others looked unwell. Could it be that something had happened to Daoist Cangsong?
The other party is the number two figure in Qingyun Sect, how could something have happened to him?
Could it be related to the Demonic Cult?

Abbot Puhong's mind raced, and he began to associate Cangsong Daoist with the Demonic Sect.

Could it be that Dao Xuan's sudden invitation to Tianyin Temple to eliminate the Demonic Sect was all for the sake of Daoist Cangsong?!
Suddenly, Abbot Puhong had this idea.

And the more I think about it, the more likely it seems.

Because Cangsong Daoren held a very high position in the Qingyun Sect, second only to Daoxuan, and was in charge of punishments.

Moreover, he was highly valued and trusted by Dao Xuan. If Cang Song was harmed by the Demonic Sect, then it would make sense for Dao Xuan to take action against the Demonic Sect.

Xu Qing was unaware that Pu Hong had this suspicion in his mind at that moment, and simply said, "Junior Brother Cangsong passed away due to some matters."

Upon hearing this, Pu Hong thought to himself, "Just as I thought!"
"Could it be the work of demonic cultists?" Pu Hong asked cautiously.

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, and Tian Buyi and the others were also somewhat bewildered.

"That's not the case. Let's talk about business first, Abbot Puhong." Xu Qing shook his head, not wanting to mention Cangsong.

This is, after all, an internal scandal within the Qingyun Sect, and it's best not to talk about it.

Abbot Puhong nodded and did not ask any further questions.

"Sit down first."

Abbot Puhong took his seat, and Xu Qing waved his hand, causing some spiritual fruits to appear on Puhong's table.

"Huh, could this be the Qiankun Azure Light Ring that disappeared a thousand years ago!?" Pu Hong was immediately startled, noticing the origin of Xu Qing's technique.

"The Azure Light Ring of Heaven and Earth!?"

Tian Buyi and the others were also surprised, noticing for the first time the cyan ring magic weapon on Xu Qing's hand.

"When did Senior Brother find this magical treasure?!"

They didn't even know.

"Abbot Puhong has a good eye; it is indeed the Qiankun Azure Light Ring." Xu Qing nodded with a smile.

"The Qiankun Azure Light Ring has been missing for a thousand years. It is a magic weapon of the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon level, which is both offensive and defensive, and contains the Qiankun and the method of storage."

I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to see this magical treasure with my own eyes.

Abbot Puhong remarked that this magical artifact was extremely famous and was a very special artifact.

It can not only kill and defend against enemies, but also store items; it has multiple functions and is extremely unique.

It is even more famous than other magical treasures.

Xu Qing smiled calmly. He wasn't too concerned about the power of this thing, but its storage function was quite useful.

When you're out and about, it's inconvenient to carry anything without a storage device.

Although his [Gate of All Heavens] also has the ability to store things, ordinary items are not suitable to be placed there.

This is really damaging to the image of [Zhutianmen].
