This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 77 Youmingzi Goes Mad, Buddhism and Taoism Join Forces to Kill Him
"Even Buddhist sects have acquired Golden Elixir cultivators..."

Youmingzi, who had initially been confident of escaping, completely panicked.

With three Golden Core experts present, the possibility of him leaving was extremely slim.

"Huian?"

The Celestial Master Lingxiao of Longhu Mountain clearly recognized the visitor. He had originally thought that the Buddhist sect did not intend to send a Golden Core expert to oversee the situation, but unexpectedly, the visitor still came.

......................................................

"Disciple, do you see that monk?"
He is the current abbot of Jinshan Temple, Venerable Huian.

Yes, he and Master Huikong are fellow disciples.
However, Huikong and Hui'an are a hundred years apart in age, and their cultivation levels are vastly different.

At this moment, Master Qian Yuan came over to inform Zhong Bai.

To put it bluntly, it was to broaden his disciple's horizons and let him recognize people.

Zhong Bai seemed to understand but not quite, and then asked, "Master, what did Uncle Ming mean by 'true evil cultivator' just now?"

Zhong Bai could understand some of it, but he wasn't quite clear on the specifics.

"Heh, so, my disciple, how do you think good and evil should be distinguished?"

Zhong Bai remained silent...

"Good and evil are just general concepts. What your Uncle Master Ming means is to make you understand the dangers of cultivators."

For example, Youmingzi, the sect leader of the Corpse Refining Demon Heaven Sect, in order to help his flying zombie get through its weakened period, schemed to bring all the disciples and elders of the Corpse Refining Demon Heaven Sect into this canyon.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties in the battle. For Youmingzi, the sect disciples were not important; what mattered was collecting the essence of flesh and blood to feed the flying zombies.

To put it bluntly, it means that people's hearts are treacherous, and you can know a person's face but not their heart.

I urge you to think carefully before you act in the future, and not to be easily schemed against.

Faced with the earnest teachings of Master Qian Yuan, Zhong Bai tactfully nodded to indicate that he understood.

In short, it's all about sacrificing your fellow Daoists rather than yourself...

The battle in the void continues.

Even the young disciples like Zhong Bai and the Foundation Establishment True Persons like Qian Yuan Zhenren could only become bystanders at this time.

Upon seeing yet another Golden Core cultivator blocking his escape route, Youmingzi screamed inwardly.

"Jinshan Temple has come too, haha, has Wutai Mountain never come?"

At this point, Youmingzi knew that the chances of escaping from the three Golden Core experts were almost nil, so he simply decided to give up.

As soon as Youmingzi spoke, a dazzling Buddhist light appeared in the void.

"Amitabha Buddha, this old monk originally did not want to come out, but since you wish to witness the methods of Mount Wutai, then this old monk has no choice but to grant your request!"

"Tsk, Master Tonghai from Mount Wutai."

Standing in the void, Ming Wanqian's expression was somewhat complicated. These old bald monks hadn't come out at first...

He only showed himself when the sect leader of the Corpse Refining Demon Heaven Sect, Youmingzi, had refined himself into a flying zombie and was about to escape. To be honest, he was really cowardly.

“Amitabha, Brother Tonghai has also arrived.”

After smiling and nodding to Grand Master Hui'an, the two then looked at Youmingzi, who was trapped in the center.

The appearance of four Golden Core experts completely shattered Youmingzi's last shred of faith.

"Hahaha, you really think highly of me, four Golden Core experts..."

The laughter was somewhat desolate. No matter how much he planned, Youmingzi had not expected that the hatred between the Buddhist and Taoist sects for his Corpse Refining Demon Heaven Sect would be so terrifying. Four Golden Core experts!

He miscalculated, but once the move was made, there was no going back. Youmingzi understood that he could not escape death today, so he simply stopped trying to escape.

"You two old bald monks, you deserve to die!"

Enraged, Youmingzi unleashed boundless corpse energy from his body, roaring as he charged straight at Grand Master Hui'an.

The flying zombie's physical body was still terrifying; even Grand Master Hui'an looked somewhat solemn.

With his palms clasped together, and as Master Hui'an chanted Buddhist scriptures, rays of Buddhist light instantly descended from the surrounding void, forming a golden Arhat body in front of him.

"You fiend, cease your arrogance!"

At this moment, the Grand Master Tonghai roared and unleashed the Buddhist beads he was holding. The twelve beads shot straight at Youmingzi with a series of crackling sounds. Even though Youmingzi had taken over the body of the flying zombie, the Grand Master Tonghai's Buddhist beads still hurt terribly when they struck him.

"Great Buddha Hand!"

Seeing that the Buddhist beads had brought him profit, the Grand Master Tonghai immediately used the secret supernatural power of Mount Wutai. In the void, a giant palm, hundreds of feet long, clasped together and then merged into one, heading towards Youmingzi.

With a deafening roar, Youmingzi's entire body was slammed down from the void by the giant Buddha's palm, landing directly on the cliff face of the canyon. Instantly, rocks tumbled down, leaving a giant palm print on the cliff wall.

Throughout the entire process, Ming Wanqian and Lingxiao Tianshi watched this scene in silence.

They didn't choose to make a move at this time. Heh, the Buddhist sect didn't show themselves at first, but only came out now, which already made Lingxiao Tianshi and Ming Wanqian dissatisfied. Taking this opportunity to let them play with Youmingzi, this flying zombie, is not bad.

Although Youmingzi was not seriously injured after being slammed into the void, he felt extremely humiliated.

Seeing that neither the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain nor the two Golden Core True Monarchs, Ming Wanqian of Maoshan, had made a move against him, Youmingzi immediately realized that this was an opportunity. Even though he knew what the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain and the True Monarch of Maoshan were thinking, Youmingzi was happy with this. Compared to the Taoist sect, Youmingzi hated the two Golden Core Grand Masters who had suddenly appeared in the Buddhist sect even more.

With a stomp of his foot, the rocks shattered, and Youmingzi's speed reached its limit. For flying zombies, the most powerful thing is their body. Without any fancy techniques, Youmingzi broke through the air and instantly startled the smug Tonghai Grand Master from below.

He quickly pulled out the Vajra Pestle and smashed it down on Youmingzi below.

Bang bang bang!
Despite the pain inflicted by the Vajra Pestle, Youmingzi endured it all. Just as he reached a few meters in front of Grand Master Tonghai, his fangs and sharp nails were about to tear the bald Buddhist monk in front of him to shreds.

"The Buddha's light shines!"

Without time to think, Grand Master Tonghai quickly used his supernatural powers to emit bursts of Buddhist light, but even so, Youmingzi did not retreat.

The moment the fangs and claws touched the Buddha's light, Youmingzi's crazed gaze met that of the Grand Master Tonghai.

With a hiss, the golden light shield failed to block the attack, and the fists and palms of both sides collided violently.

Seizing the opportunity, Youmingzi bit down on Tonghai Grand Master's arm without hesitation!
"Damn it!"

In pain, Grand Master Tonghai quickly mobilized the Buddhist light within his body to expel the corpse poison, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The blood essence landed on Youmingzi's chest, causing a burning sensation. A mouthful of blood essence sent Youmingzi flying hundreds of meters away.

"Junior Brother Huian, let's vanquish the demon together!"

With a slightly pale complexion, the Venerable Tonghai, having suffered a loss, no longer fought alone and invited Venerable Huian to join forces.

Upon hearing this, Grand Master Huian looked at the still motionless Lingxiao Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain and Ming Wanqian of Maoshan Mountain. Seeing that they were unmoved, Grand Master Huian had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed.

"Senior Brother Tonghai, behold my junior brother's divine abilities!"

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, World-Honored Ksitigarbha! Great Luo Dharma Mantra, Prajna Buddhas! Prajna Paramita! Flying Dragon in the Sky!"

In an instant, the Great Master Hui'an radiated dazzling Buddhist light, and a divine dragon of Buddhist light condensed beneath him.

Suddenly charging towards Youmingzi, the divine dragon arrived first, but Youmingzi was equally unwilling to be outdone, even though the wound on his chest had not yet healed.

"The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra really thinks highly of me!"

With a sarcastic remark, Youmingzi wasn't stupid. The current Grand Master Hui'anxing had arrived with supernatural powers, and if he were to hastily confront him, he would most likely still be injured. He might as well keep an eye on one person!
Just then, Youmingzi noticed that Grand Master Tonghai was pale-faced.

"Hehe, you forced out a mouthful of essence blood to force me back. I suppose you old bald monk were just putting on a brave face."

Without hesitation, Youmingzi ignored the approaching Grand Master Hui'an and accelerated towards Grand Master Tonghai.

The Lingxiao Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, who was watching the play, couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

"Senior Ming, this Corpse Refining Demon Heaven Sect Master has some guts and is quite clever. This time, Monk Tonghai will probably have to pay a price!"

"Hahaha, they deserve it. They actually wanted us to stand in front and scheme against us, so they have to pay the price."

It's a bit of a pity that that bald monk Hui'an is also here; otherwise, even if Youmingzi couldn't trade one for one with Tonghai, he could have severely injured him!

"Sigh, Senior Ming, who can argue with that?"

Feeling a bit regretful, Ming Wanqian and Lingxiao Tianshi exchanged a smile. At this point, it was just a dog-eat-dog situation; all they needed to do was keep an eye on Youmingzi and prevent him from escaping.

As for whether Youmingzi has the guts to come over, hehe, neither Lingxiao Tianshi nor Ming Wanqian showed the slightest fear in their eyes!
As the target of Youmingzi, Grand Master Tonghai felt speechless. Why was the sect leader of the Corpse Refining Demon Heaven Sect targeting him?
Seeing the opponent bursting towards him again, even though he was reluctant, Grand Master Tonghai could only take out a seven-colored lotus flower from his robes.

"Seven Lotus Thrones, one flower, one world, annihilate!"

A petal quietly descended from the lotus throne.

In an instant, it transformed into a sharp beam of light and slashed towards Youmingzi!
"The Seven Lotus Throne?"

Master Lingxiao exclaimed in surprise, and Ming Wanqian, who was standing beside him, was also somewhat moved.

"Hey, this monk Tonghai actually carries this Wutai Mountain treasure with him all the time, really..."

"Alright, alright, Senior Ming, now that this monk Tonghai has brought out the Seven Lotus Throne, this flying zombie will probably have a hard time hurting him. Shouldn't we kill him now and take him away?"

"No, no, no, don't rush, Lingxiao, the Seven Lotus Throne needs a long time to be nurtured before it can unleash its power. Since Monk Tonghai is willing to offer up this treasure, let's wait a little longer and wait for him to use more lotus flowers. Hehe, nurturing a lotus flower for decades is a painful experience even for Mount Wutai."

Upon hearing this, Master Lingxiao was somewhat stunned. Uh... it really is a senior who is not in a hurry at all and is very composed.

As expected, when the lotus flower landed on Youmingzi, it pierced his chest in an instant, and the corpse energy in his body began to leak out little by little. But this was not the end. Seeing that Youmingzi still refused to let him go, the Grand Master Tonghai was completely enraged.

"You beast, you deserve to die!"

Three more lotus flowers flew out in succession. Even though Youmingzi had gathered all his corpse energy to resist, they were as thin as paper and crumbled at the slightest touch.

Three lotus flowers flew into his body, instantly dissipating most of the corpse energy within him, and even his movements became sluggish.

"Now's the time! Lingxiao, let's attack together!"

Seeing that Youmingzi was seriously injured, Ming Wanqian disappeared from the spot after saying a few words.

Before Lingxiao Celestial Master could react, Ming Wanqian shouted, "Grand Master Tonghai, let me lend you a hand!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, but Ming Wanqian's momentum didn't diminish. Under the intense gazes of the three, the smile on Ming Wanqian's lips was almost impossible to suppress...
