Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 412 Counterattack Against the Nascent Soul Stage [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Yinshan Market.

A battle broke out between the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and the Ye family, and some cultivators in the market also created chaos.

However, under the ferocious power of the third-tier Yin Sha Corpse Puppet left behind by Lin Chang'an, it cruelly devoured the essence and blood of more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even a Pseudo Core Formation cultivator.

Some of the unrest was quelled, and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect also publicly offered bounties for killing enemies, which tempted many people.

Of course, some people took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect not only did not stop them, but also allowed them to leave.

After all, leaving so many people in the market means that if they are at a disadvantage, these people will become a hidden danger.

Whether this group truly fled this dangerous place or waited for the situation to change before taking advantage of the chaos remains unknown.

"This guy surnamed Xiao is really troublesome. He truly lives up to his reputation as someone who came from the Demon Beast Sea Abyss."

Although the Southern Region is also quite chaotic, it is relatively stable most of the time under the rule of various Nascent Soul forces.

The chaos here stems more from the power struggles between different factions.

The Demon Beast Abyss is different; it is not only a battleground between forces, but also home to countless sea beasts and even occasional beast tides.

In the Demon Beast Sea Abyss, it's as if various forces have taken root in the territory of the demon beasts.

In addition, the influx of countless foreign cultivators every year has led to extreme chaos.

The chaos between the two is a completely different kind of chaos.

At this moment, the two late-stage Core Formation cultivators found themselves in a difficult situation when facing Lin Chang'an.

"Brother, this female cultivator is actually a sword cultivator!"

In the midst of the battle between Core Formation cultivators, the sword servant's strength was astonishing, with terrifying sword light flashing continuously.

Lin Chang'an also cooperated by unleashing a combined attack technique, with the chilling aura of the Ice Lotus Flame amplifying the sword light of the sword servant.

Each sword beam was filled with a terrifying, chilling aura, making it difficult for the two of them to defend themselves.

"This chilling power has the ability to corrode magical artifacts."

The defensive magic treasures protecting the two of them managed to block the sword light, but the cold aura emanating from the sword light began to corrode them.

The defensive shield dimmed instantly, and even the two sharp-eyed individuals noticed that their magical artifacts were being eroded by wisps of spreading, chilling energy.

"This person's Yin-cold martial arts are too powerful."

The two cultivated fire-based techniques, which were originally intended to counter Xiao, a member of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

Although they managed to suppress the two Yin Sha Corpse Puppets, when Lin Chang'an and the Sword Servant joined forces, the two were suppressed due to the elemental advantage.

This shocked many on the battlefield with the strength of Lin Chang'an and the sword attendant.

"The power we've unleashed is almost there."

Using the terrifying chill of the Frost Flame, Lin Chang'an appeared to be skilled in Yin-cold martial arts.

The combat power displayed by Lin Chang'an in battle made the Jiang clan elder, who was secretly observing, nod in approval.

"His body possesses a powerful and chilling magical energy. If used to possess another body, it can quickly restore his strength, and he is also young."

This person seems to have extraordinary talent; he must have an earth-elemental root. As for whether he possesses some kind of yin-attribute spiritual body, it's hard to say…

The nascent soul that was secretly controlling the Core Formation cultivator surnamed Jiang was secretly observing the body that was about to be possessed, and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

This was indeed a body perfectly suited for him to possess.

Although Nascent Soul cultivators are powerful, this kind of possession is extremely energy-consuming. Therefore, most of the targets for possession are chosen to have a high degree of compatibility.

However, the escape of a Nascent Soul cultivator is always out of necessity. Sometimes, their vital energy is severely depleted, and they are being hunted down. Many times, they have no other choice.

In the cultivation world, there was once a Nascent Soul cultivator who hastily possessed a spiritual body that did not match his cultivation method. As a result, he spent a hundred years cultivating and barely recovered to the Nascent Soul realm.

However, his strength was greatly reduced, and he became the bottom of the Nascent Soul level.

Therefore, in the world of cultivation, possession is a serious matter.

"Patriarch, let's retreat!"

On the tense battlefield, the Ye family, who launched the surprise attack, had long been considering retreating when they saw that the situation was difficult to overcome.

Meanwhile, the two late-stage Core Formation cultivators who were fighting Lin Chang'an were also suffering greatly, as these two were too difficult to deal with.

"Patriarch Ye, it's truly difficult to take them down today. Let's retreat!"

With the two deciding to retreat, the Core Formation cultivator from the Ye family who launched the attack breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly issued the order to retreat.

"Order a retreat."

A magical signal to retreat resounded through the sky, and the people brought by the Ye family on the fierce battlefield hurriedly began to withdraw from the battle.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, on the other hand, ordered a contraction of their defensive lines, since no one knew if the enemy had set a trap.

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, which occupies the spiritual mine of Yinshan, is the least willing to provoke such localized friction.

After all, they've already gained all the benefits, so what good would it do them to destroy the other side?
An attack on a market town seemed to have come to nothing.

The Ye family's flying boat began to retreat, and the two late-stage Core Formation cultivators who were fighting Lin Chang'an also left behind a harsh statement before turning into streaks of light and fleeing.

"Want to leave!"

When Lin Chang'an saw the two fleeing men, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

……

The two Core Formation cultivators, who had escaped in the distance, landed wearily in a valley.

"Damn it, this guy surnamed Xiao is so strong. I can feel his chilling aura right now."

At this moment, both of them had a layer of frost on their eyebrows and hair, and their bodies were trembling uncontrollably, with a chill in their breath.

In particular, the magical artifacts in their hands were also corroded by this vicious and cold energy, and their spiritual light dimmed considerably, causing the two of them great distress.

This chilling aura is incredibly powerful; it's practically unheard of among its peers.

"Alright, it's because this Xiao fellow is cautious and doesn't want to risk his life for the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. Otherwise, if we really had to fight to the death, our magic weapon would have been destroyed."

Still shaken, the two exchanged a glance and both smiled.

In fact, they were no different. Like the one surnamed Xiao, they were both guest elders who had joined from outside, and they were just doing their jobs according to orders.

Unless there's a profit that makes them greedy, who would risk their life?

"We can report back to Corpse Valley. If they're not satisfied, they can send someone else over."

Just as the two relaxed, preparing to first eliminate the cold energy in their bodies and then report the matter to the sect, a golden light suddenly appeared before their eyes.

puff!
The moment the golden light drew them in, a pair of dark blue claws suddenly emerged from the ground beneath their feet and grabbed their calves.

The sharp claws pierced through flesh and blood, and a terrifying aura of death spread out.

"No!"

The two looked terrified. Having been captured, they had no time to escape and could only hastily use their protective magic treasures, which had been somewhat damaged in the fierce battle, to defend themselves.

However, this defensive shield was instantly pierced by the golden light, followed by the protective spiritual light of the two.

"Roar!"

At the same time, a corpse roar came from beneath their feet. As their protective aura was shattered, the two were dragged directly into the ground, their faces filled with despair as they faced the gaping maw of the corpse.

At the same time, both of them had pierced through their abdomens by corpse claws, and their two golden cores were now held in their hands.
The golden light revealed itself to be the phoenix.

As the two bodies were dragged into the ground, the strong Yin Sha Corpse Puppet embraced and bit the two of them, while the Phoenix Cry Bird showed a look of disgust.

"The owner is really something, insisting on keeping such ugly things."

Perhaps it's due to elemental incompatibility; the Phoenix Bird dislikes this corpse puppet to begin with, not to mention it smells so bad.

"Alright, you've absorbed the essence and blood of this Core Formation cultivator, so these two Golden Cores are mine now."

With a loud cry from the phoenix, two golden pills sprouted from the ground and were then swallowed by the bird.

The two corpses had long since turned into mummies, their life essence completely devoured. Then, a burly, terrifying-looking Yin Sha Corpse Puppet suddenly emerged from the ground.

The phoenix looked at this with disdain.

Then the Phoenix Bird first picked up the storage bags and magical artifacts from the two corpses, but then its eyes darted around as if it had thought of something, and it secretly spat out another storage bag from its mouth.

Then he picked and chose from the two people's storage bags, putting a third of it into his own private storage bag before he stopped.

"In this way, we can leave our master with most of the spoils, which is enough to satisfy him."

Seeing that its previous fortune had been completely depleted, but now it had a little more, the Phoenix Bird couldn't help but show a satisfied expression and nodded its head frequently.

The Yin Sha Corpse Puppet beside it had no intelligence and stood there blankly.

"You big oaf, the body is too obvious. The scene needs to be cleaned up, or it'll be a problem."

Then the Phoenix Cry Bird glared fiercely at the Yin Sha Corpse Puppet before putting it away. Before leaving, it spat out a ball of fire.

They erased all traces at the scene, leaving not even a trace of corpse odor.

Even if someone comes to check, at most they will find that this place has been burned by fire-type magic.

……

Yinshan Market.

After repelling the attack, a celebration banquet was held in the market, and a report was also submitted to the sect to claim credit.

The combined strength of Lin Chang'an and the sword attendant in this battle was truly remarkable, earning them the respect of all the disciples in the sect.

The Ye family will not launch a large-scale attack in the short term, after all, the current scale is already quite large, and further expansion would make the situation serious.

However, the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect will not easily let their guard down.

Inside the cave.

"Master, all the spoils from this trip are here."

Upon its return, the phoenix, looking pleased with itself, excitedly spoke.

"This time, we still have to thank our master for depleting more than half of their magical power, especially their defensive magic treasures, which were also corroded, resulting in a significant reduction in their defensive capabilities. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to escape so easily..."

Lin Chang'an couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the two storage bags that the Phoenix Bird had handed over, as well as the other party's magical treasures.

Although he didn't know how much stuff was in the two people's storage bags, the phoenix bird's obviously bluffing and guilty appearance told him that the bird had taken a kickback.

However, he wouldn't exploit his spirit pet like that, since he trusted the Phoenix Bird to do the work.

"Alright, you did well this time, at least you knew to burn away the corpse energy."

Lin Chang'an looked at the two storage bags with satisfaction; the wealth of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator was not bad.

Unfortunately, his standards have risen, and he has also plundered the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect and obtained the treasure trove of the Crimson Fire Nascent Soul cultivator.

I actually look down on these things.

"However, these magical treasures need to be dealt with as soon as possible."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an squinted. Normally, such stolen goods would be kept hidden from the light of day, but things were different now.

One reason is that he is currently strong enough that unless he can arouse the greed of a Nascent Soul stage monster, he will not be so timid.

Another reason is that throwing out these two people's magical treasures can also remind the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and Corpse Valley that there is a third-party force operating in the shadows.

Ideally, the two major sects should be on guard against hidden enemies, which would also be beneficial to him.

He left no clues, so the investigation can't trace him back to him.

"There are too many suspects who want to provoke a war between Corpse Valley and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile, and he would find an opportunity to sell.

……

However, just as the turmoil in the market subsided, the injured Core Formation cultivator surnamed Jiang suddenly came to visit.

“Brother Xiao, I was recuperating from my injuries. If it weren’t for you bringing me here to stabilize the situation, I probably would have been transferred to the rear long ago.”

When this Elder Jiang, who had just reached the Core Formation stage, arrived, his attitude was incredibly sincere.

He also apologized for not being able to visit him because he had been in seclusion to heal his wounds.

Lin Chang'an nodded slightly. As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. The other party even brought a thank-you gift, so why would he show a bad attitude?

"Brother Xiao, I was in charge of managing the mine before. Although I've been recuperating during this time, my men have all been doing quite well..."

After expressing his gratitude, the Elder Jiang, who had just reached the Core Formation stage, spoke with profound meaning before slowly taking out another storage bag.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an immediately smiled.

Although strength is paramount in the cultivation world, there are still human relationships and social customs among cultivators of the same level.

This fellow Daoist Jiang is now showing his true sincerity.

They were in charge of mining operations, and the profits from that were almost unbelievable.

"Brother Jiang, you're too kind."

Lin Chang'an had initially thought that a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator was not qualified to be addressed as his elder brother, but since the other party was older than him and had presented such a generous gift, how could Lin Chang'an not be polite?

"Brother Xiao is too kind. I will not say anything more. Please feel free to give me your instructions in the future."

The two sat at a stone table outside the cave, raising their wine cups to clink together with smiles on their faces.

However, the moment he drank the spirit wine, Lin Chang'an's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Something's wrong with this wine!"

If this spirit wine were not of any concern to an ordinary cultivator, he would not be able to detect the problem. However, his newly formed Xuan Tian Spiritual Body was immune to all poisons.

Instantly, they sensed a hidden poison in the spirit wine that could slowly paralyze a cultivator's soul.

"This should be a liquid extracted from some kind of yin-type spiritual plant."

As a third-tier alchemist, Lin Chang'an possessed a Xuan Tian spiritual body that was highly sensitive to spiritual plants, and he was able to quickly make a fairly accurate assessment.

"Come, Brother Xiao, let me offer you another cup."

The Core Formation cultivator surnamed Jiang, who was expressing his sincere gratitude, had a look of deep emotion on his face. Who could have guessed that this person actually harbored ill intentions?

"Come on, Brother Jiang, let's do it."

The problem was discovered in the blink of an eye, and Lin Chang'an even smiled and raised his glass to chat familiarly with the person.

However, as he poured the wine, a drop of liquid also seeped into the wine pot. Having spent so long in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss, especially having amassed wealth within the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect, he had accumulated some valuable items.

It is also an item with a latent yin and cold attribute.

As the two exchanged toasts, the other party also prepared a gift for the sword servant, but the sword servant had just experienced a great battle and was now in seclusion to recover.

Upon hearing this, the man looked regretful.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this person is a puppet, and there is a Nascent Soul inside him!"

Over drinks, the two seemed to have become longtime friends, and naturally had some casual contact.

Upon this contact, Lin Chang'an was instantly terrified, realizing that he had been targeted by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The red-clad figure hidden within him also sensed the situation from him.

The next moment, the Core Formation cultivator surnamed Jiang, still smiling, suddenly underwent a strange change before he could react.

Lin Chang'an suddenly launched an attack, catching him completely off guard.

Two points of cold light flashed, and the two Yin Spirit Drills, at such close range, suddenly shot out and injured people.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered everywhere. The cultivator surnamed Jiang was terrified. He had clearly set the trap, but now it felt like the other party had set it up.

"not good!"

However, the moment the evil spirit pierced through the body, the nascent soul hidden inside let out a shrill scream.

"You surnamed Xiao, you cheated!"

These two beams of cold light actually damaged his nascent soul. The next moment, he couldn't care less about anything else and hurriedly separated his nascent soul from his body.

"The nascent soul has left the body! How is that possible!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an feigned a look of fear, as if to say, "Aren't you a Core Formation cultivator? How come you're a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

This sudden turn of events gave the impression that this unexpected change was completely beyond his expectations.

"Young man, I gladly accept your body!"

After a sinister Nascent Soul figure appeared, upon seeing Lin Chang'an's expression, it immediately deduced that this person probably wanted to seize power and was secretly plotting against him.

This made him furious. He never expected that he, a Nascent Soul cultivator, would almost fall into the trap of a Core Formation cultivator.

"This Yin Spirit Drill truly lives up to its reputation as a remnant of the Yin Soul Sect, but all of it is now mine!"

As the Nascent Soul cultivator laughed sinisterly, how could he, a Nascent Soul cultivator, not know about such a spiritual object as the Yin Spirit Drill?

Unexpectedly, this possession brought such a great gift. It seems that this remnant of the Yin Soul Sect has inherited the true legacy.

However, the moment the nascent soul entered Lin Chang'an's body, a terrifying aura swept out.

"How can it be!"

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the nascent soul, brimming with yin energy and exuding a sinister aura, stared wide-eyed in shock at the fact that this Core Formation cultivator also possessed a nascent soul within his sea of ​​consciousness.

The red-robed nascent soul looked at the unexpected guest with a mocking expression and couldn't help but tease:
"Fellow Daoist, are you trying to seize the body I obtained?"

"Seize the body!"

At this moment, the sinister Nascent Soul was extremely shocked and furious. He never expected that the body he had set his sights on had already been possessed by someone else.

"Fellow Daoist, it's a misunderstanding..."

However, before he could finish speaking, his sinister nascent soul seemed to sense something and let out a muffled groan. A few black lines slowly appeared on his pure nascent soul body.

"Poison! When did this happen?!"

He had also been poisoned, and recalling their previous drinking and socializing, he was furious.

He poisoned the other person, but the other person also poisoned him.

damned!
"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. We are all members of the demonic path..."

"Misunderstand!?"

However, the next moment, the Nascent Soul in red sneered, and with a wave of his hand, a vast Buddhist light appeared around him, which made the other party even more terrified and want to escape without the slightest hesitation.

"Buddhism! Ah..."

Suddenly, a scream rang out as a ball of icy lotus flames erupted from Lin Chang'an's sea of ​​consciousness, scorching the Nascent Soul cultivator and causing him to scream in agony.

"Fellow Daoist, if we continue this fight, we will both be severely injured, and your body will suffer the same fate..."

Just as this sinister Nascent Soul cultivator was filled with murderous intent and was frantically trying to drag the other party down with him...

hum!
Suddenly, a celestial vine exuding a terrifying life force slowly rose from within the sea of ​​consciousness.

Three emerald green fairy leaves emitted a mysterious light, and a terrifying suction force swept over him, instantly rendering him powerless to resist. He could only watch in horror as he was sucked into the mysterious fairy vine.

"No! What kind of evil magic is this? You are not on the righteous path, you are on the demonic path... I am from the Spirit Beast Sect..."

"Do not--"

The sinister nascent soul let out a desperate and terrified scream, clearly feeling its nascent soul being devoured.

This fear, which came from the depths of his soul, terrified him.

The red-robed Nascent Soul cultivator sat elegantly on a green leaf of the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine, calmly watching the Nascent Soul being entangled and devoured by the tree roots.

"It is your good fortune to become nourishment for the Mysterious Heavenly Vine."

With a terrified scream that seemed to come from the depths of the soul, the nascent soul was completely devoured.

……

Outside, Lin Chang'an kept his eyes closed, showing no signs of the fatigue he had felt when he devoured the Crimson Fire Nascent Soul.

His divine sense at the Nascent Soul stage is now far stronger than it used to be.

boom!
A vast array of memories flashed continuously in his sea of ​​consciousness, revealing the origins of the Nascent Soul cultivator who was about to seize his body.

A rogue cultivator of the Southern Demonic Path, renowned throughout the region for his Yin-attribute supernatural abilities.

He secretly traded with the Spirit Beast Sect, one of the six major sects of the Demonic Path. This person was behind the turmoil in the Great Qian Dynasty, and there was also the ambush that was discovered by the Great Qian Dynasty earlier.

And why he joined the Spirit Beast Sect out of despair, and why they targeted him this time.

The legendary life of this Nascent Soul cultivator flashed continuously in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Some achieve fame at a young age, while others find their beloved in the arms of another, leaving them to wander far away from home.

After enduring countless hardships and narrowly escaping death to attain the Nascent Soul stage, he returned to his homeland in high spirits, personally slaying his former enemies and witnessing the expressions of remorse on the faces of those who had betrayed their beloved.

This Nascent Soul cultivator's life of over eight hundred years can be described as legendary.

Every Nascent Soul cultivator is the protagonist of their own life.

"So the Spirit Beast Sect was behind it all."

After a long while, Lin Chang'an slowly opened his eyes. Although he was a little tired, it did not affect his condition.

"And Teng Changfeng, it turns out that you were the one who arranged all of this."

Lin Chang'an was speechless for a moment. He had previously betrayed Teng Changfeng's information in exchange for Nascent Soul resources.

As it turned out, Teng Changfeng also secretly betrayed him, and the turmoil in Yinshan was actually caused by him.

This is because the Nascent Soul cultivator needed a suitable physical body, and the Yin-cold cultivation technique he practiced was a perfect fit.

In addition, his close relationship with True Monarch Ice Butterfly in the sect aroused the jealousy of Teng Changfeng, who then transferred him here.

"I really underestimated you. I managed to withstand the possession by the Nascent Soul cultivator. Now, I wonder if you, Fellow Daoist Teng, can withstand the scheme of the two Nascent Soul cultivators within the sect."

No one knew that this Nascent Soul cultivator, who had escaped from the clutches of three Nascent Soul cultivators in the Great Qian Dynasty, would perish here.

……

Meanwhile, a hundred miles away in Yinshan, within the Ye family's ancestral land, they waited and waited, but still received no news of the two Core Formation cultivators.

"Master, could something have happened?"

"Impossible. These two are late-stage Core Formation cultivators. Unless they encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator."

The head of the Ye family was also frowning. Despite the seemingly glorious appearance of a Core Formation family, they were nothing compared to the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"We can't wait any longer, we must report this to the sect immediately."

Just as the Ye family was waiting for half a day and was deciding to report the matter to Corpse Valley behind them, a terrifying aura suddenly came from a hundred miles away.

"Not good! This is the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

The terrifying aura that suddenly erupted startled countless cultivators of the Ye family.

Even the Yinshan market town was alarmed.

Countless cultivators stared in terror into the distance.

Within a forest a hundred miles away, the terrifying aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator swept through, and no one dared to go and investigate.

There didn't seem to be any battle, but a beam of Buddhist light shot into the sky, shocking countless people.

Yinshan Market.

"This is Buddha's light! Is it a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Evil Buddha Temple of the Six Sects of the Demonic Path, or a Nascent Soul powerhouse from the Golden Buddha Temple of the Righteous Path!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the Core Formation cultivator surnamed Yuan, who was stationed here, couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

At the same time, Lin Chang'an also walked out of the cave in a panic. Looking at the Buddha light in the distance, he exclaimed in shock, "Buddha-Tao Nascent Soul!"

This sudden turn of events caused both sides, who were already tense at the front, to simultaneously choose to consolidate their defenses and immediately report the matter to their respective sects.

Right now, what's the point of talking about spirit mines? The sudden appearance of Buddhist and Taoist Nascent Soul cultivators within the territory of the Protectorate Alliance is clearly suspicious.

Meanwhile, a hundred miles away, the remnant soul in red robes, after unleashing a soaring Buddhist light with the help of the Buddhist relic, instantly lost its momentum.

"Finally, the mission is complete. I need to hurry back to avoid attracting the attention of other Nascent Soul cultivators."

The woman in red then rolled up the relic and disappeared into the forest.

……

Buddhist Nascent Soul cultivators suddenly appeared on the border of the two major Nascent Soul forces, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and Corpse Valley, causing a stir among the four major forces.

All four major forces dispatched Nascent Soul cultivators to investigate.

Even the Protectorate Alliance has taken this seriously.

At this moment, no one cared about the two late-stage Core Formation cultivators who had suddenly been lost in Corpse Valley.

Even the extinguishing of the soul lamp led Corpse Valley to believe that the two were simply unlucky and had happened to encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator in a contest.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

Teng Changfeng's face was even more gloomy.

"This guy surnamed Xiao is really lucky; he actually escaped this calamity."

The illusory figure of the jade talisman flashing in front of him also had a very ugly expression.

He had finally managed to win over a Nascent Soul cultivator and went to great lengths to help them recover their vitality, only to have it all disappear like this.

"These hypocritical bald monks must have been done by the Golden Buddha Temple!"

The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Spirit Beast Sect was filled with anger, yet he was quite certain that he was the real culprit behind this incident.

The six sects of the demonic path have always wanted to unify the Southern Region, while the five righteous sects naturally disagree. The two sides have been fighting for thousands of years, and they know each other well.

In particular, for the past hundred years, the demonic path has been secretly stirring up turmoil within the Protectorate Alliance. The appearance of a Buddhist Nascent Soul cultivator now is clearly an attempt to sabotage their demonic path's plans.

"Pah! These despicable people!"

Despite his cursing, he also began to worry.

"We can't wait any longer; the plan must be brought forward."

"Ahead of schedule!?" Teng Changfeng's expression changed slightly, while the shadowy figure sneered:

"Isn't this the best opportunity? Old Ghost Cheng went to the border to investigate the matter of the Buddhist Nascent Soul cultivator, while another sickly fellow in the sect went into seclusion to heal his injuries."

"Take this opportunity to retrieve the treasures of my Spirit Beast Sect. Don't worry, I won't expose you. The entire sect is counting on you to reach the Nascent Soul stage."

Listening to the other party's plan, Teng Changfeng pondered silently.

What the other party said is true. Master is not here, and Senior Sister Bingdie is in seclusion. At this time, other hostile Nascent Soul cultivators took advantage of the situation, so the fault does not lie with him.

As long as he doesn't leave any clues, no one will doubt that he is the sect's Nascent Soul seed.

"Alright! Let's take action tomorrow."

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Teng Changfeng was also a decisive person.

……

Daqian Dynasty.

"Hmph, what else could it be but the filth between the righteous and the demonic paths?"

"Back then, wasn't the Sima clan known for having traces of demonic forces behind them? And the righteous path isn't exactly a saint either."

"Alright, now that both the righteous and the demonic sides have been exposed, it might not be a bad thing."

Emperor Qian stared intently in the direction of the Sima clan; the Great Qian Dynasty would settle this score sooner or later.

It can be said that the appearance of the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Buddhist sect has alerted many forces.

The tense situation between the four major powers was actually eased by this incident.

Lin Chang'an, the instigator of all this, had also thought it through carefully.

The situation among the four major powers is tense. If war were to break out, he would have no time to cultivate in peace.
