Master of the Xuanyin Sect of Mount Shu

Chapter 64 Killing the Demon Corpse and Sending the Xuan Guang Ruler
Guan Minghui first attracted everyone's attention with the Thousand-Year-Old Herb for Restoring Broken Hearts and the Red Heart Flower for Patching Broken Flowers, mainly referring to the Taiyi Hunyuan Ancestor. Then he said:

"I previously encountered a resurrected demon corpse in the Mangcang Mountains. It was extremely ferocious and almost killed me. I escaped with my life and hid in the shadows for a long time before recovering my strength."

I'm someone who can't swallow my anger; I vow to slay that demonic corpse and avenge myself. Logically, I should return to the South China Sea to get reinforcements, but that demonic corpse is truly powerful. I've even learned that its name is Gu Chen…

It would be extremely difficult for our Ziyun Palace to take revenge on its own, so we especially thought of Sister Xu and rushed here to shamelessly beg the Wutai Sect to help us avenge ourselves.”

Upon hearing the words about the demon corpse of "Mangcang Mountain," and recalling the scene just now, the expressions on everyone's faces became rich and varied: it turned out that she had also suffered from the demon corpse.

Especially Li Qinsheng, the leader of the Wudang Sect, looked at Sanfeng's profile from his seat. She was aloof and proud, yet she also seemed a little disheveled. She was like a pure white flower that had been broken and thrown into the mud, which made him feel particularly sorry for her and he couldn't help but be moved.

Since his master passed away, he has let himself go and has dated many women over the years. However, he has never been satisfied with any of the mortal women. They are all ordinary and vulgar. The female immortals of each sect are either chaste or promiscuous, so he can never find the one he desires.

Having met this South China Sea fairy today, he had some thoughts. He pondered that since his senior sister disappeared, according to the divination, she was lurking somewhere in the south, ready to return for revenge at any moment.

After we get through this ordeal, we'll go to the South China Sea and have a proper talk with this female immortal...

As for the demon corpse Gu Chen, he used to have a great reputation, but he was later killed by the Seven Swords and his cultivation was reduced. It was thought that he was no longer a threat.

Unexpectedly, he obtained the Green Chain Sword of the Long-Browed Immortal, and the fierce battle just now was earth-shattering.

Among the major sword immortal sects in the Central Plains, Emei, Qingcheng, Wutai, Huashan, Kunlun, and Wudang are the most numerous and powerful, with a very strong foundation.

Among them, when it comes to sword forging and sword control, the Emei Sect and the Wutai Sect are the leading schools.

Even the Wutai Sect suffered heavy losses and was humiliated by that demonic corpse, so it would be even more difficult for the Wudang Sect to eliminate it.

We'll have to wait until we get past the senior sister before we can talk about it. That old nun who betrayed her master is truly despicable. Next time we encounter her, we must completely eliminate this major threat!

He stared at Guan Minghui, silently calculating in his mind.

Everyone then turned their gaze toward the Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch, thinking that the demon corpse had become a huge obstacle blocking the Wutai Sect's path.

If the Wutai Sect wants to become the leader of all immortals, it must kill the demon corpse. Otherwise, if today's events get out, it will lose face and the whole world will use the Wutai Sect as a laughing stock.

But we can't make that promise now. After all, the demon corpse is not easy to deal with. We have to plan carefully before we take action. Just to deduce the celestial numbers and divination, we have to take a bath and change clothes and do some serious calculations for at least a day or even several days. We have to analyze and dissect all kinds of details. Otherwise, if we are not careful, the demon corpse will escape again, and there will be endless troubles!
Just as Xu Feiniang was about to take over the conversation, Guan Minghui took out the Xuan Guang Ruler and presented it to the Taiyi Hunyuan Ancestor:

"This is one of the four treasures that Master Lianshan used to suppress demons and subdue evil spirits. It possesses the wonder of 'Myriad Manifestations of Xuan Gong' and is most effective at suppressing evil spirits. It's just a pity that even with it, I can't defeat the demon corpse."

"If your esteemed sect can help me slay that demonic corpse, avenging me and my dear sister, the entire Purple Cloud Palace will be eternally grateful and willingly present this treasure to your esteemed sect as a token of our gratitude!"

You can't just ask for help without offering something in return; you have to offer a generous gift or even a large sum of money as a reward. Otherwise, why would anyone help you?
Guan Minghui was wary of Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch seeing through his disguise, so he had to constantly "stir his heart." When the heart is stirred, the spirit wanders, and when the spirit wanders, the mind becomes unclear.

Master Lianshan's demon-refining treasure was enough to move people's hearts, causing another uproar in the audience.

Anyone with a modicum of knowledge could see that the ruler was warm and radiant, displaying a five-colored halo with a gentle shake, which would appear and disappear at will—a rare and precious treasure. Xu Feiniang had already seen the Xuan Guang Ruler and knew its wondrous uses: "Sister, do you really want it..."

Guan Minghui nodded solemnly: "As long as your sect can kill the demon corpse, I will offer this treasure with both hands. Ancestor, you can see whether this treasure is worth your effort."

He generously handed the Xuan Guang Ruler forward again. The Taiyi Hunyuan Ancestor reached out and took it, weighed it in his hand, and infused it with a little true energy. The ruler then emitted five-colored light and a large number of five-colored halos appeared around his body.

To be honest, even the Grandmaster of Taiyi Hunyuan was tempted.

The Wutai School is different from the Emei School. The Emei School has the Three Elders of Emei, the Long-Browed Immortal in the middle, and the Three Immortals of the East Sea below.

Through three generations of hard work and a thousand years of accumulation, the sect possesses a profound foundation. Any one of its powerful magical artifacts could become a prized possession of other sects.

However, the Wutai Sect is far inferior in comparison. The only treasures that can be called the sect's treasures are the Three Yang One Qi Sword, the Taiyi Five Smoke Silk, the Five Cloud Divine Fire Bell, the Azure Mirage Bottle, the junior brother's Lieque Double Hooks, and the Gengjia Yunhua Heavenly Light Divine Needle, among a few others.

If the Wutai Sect can obtain this Xuan Guang Ruler, they will immediately gain another treasure of the same level. When they fight the Emei Sect again in Huangshan ten years later, their chances of winning will increase significantly.

However, this promise could not be made on the spot. The Taiyi Hunyuan Ancestor handed the Xuan Guang Ruler back: "That demon corpse is also an enemy of our sect. He harms the world and kills indiscriminately. For both public and private reasons, our sect has an inescapable duty to punish him."

Xu Feiniang, with great perceptiveness, gently pulled his hand and led him to the newly laid-out mat beside her: "Don't worry, sister, I will not stand idly by regarding the matter of that demon corpse, but this matter needs to be discussed carefully."

Although the demon corpse's rampage at Mount Wutai was embarrassing, it was witnessed by all the immortals under the watchful eyes of the world. Xu Feiniang did not hide anything and gave a brief account.

Guan Minghui said in surprise, "That demon corpse actually has such audacity to come to Mount Wutai and cause trouble? There are so many of you here, and you couldn't even subdue him, and he still managed to escape?"

Xu Feiniang was very displeased by the question, but she still had a warm smile on her face: "Sister, you don't know how vicious that demon corpse is. The headmaster brother is too kind."

Because he had come up the mountain a few days earlier and was considered a guest, Senior Brother Sikong only wanted to expel him and couldn't bear to kill him. He hesitated for a moment, and several juniors were harmed by him. Then he fled in a sorry state.

Guan Minghui nodded: "That demon corpse was truly terrifying. Before I could even unleash my Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, it tore my body apart with its corpse claws... And that black cloud of his, I don't know what kind of evil magic it was made of, it was sticky and clump together but never dispersed. Even with Master Lianshan's Demon Refining Treasure, I couldn't do anything about it."

“His treasure is called the Profound Yin Divine Curtain. It is made from the Profound Yin Sha Qi and Black Qi from the earth…” Xu Feiniang explained to him how powerful it was. “There are very few things in the world that can deal with it. Coincidentally, my Wutai Sect has a magic weapon that can specifically counter it.”

"That's my magic weapon!" Guan Minghui shouted in his heart, a look of surprise on his face. "I can't believe it! What kind of treasure can specifically counter that thing? The black clouds released filled the isthmus, as if they were being drawn up from the ground endlessly..."

His lingering fear made Li Qinsheng, who had been watching him from afar, feel a stirring in his heart.

In that short time, Li Qinsheng's thoughts had already drifted far away: He needed to deal with that old nun as soon as possible! Then he'd see if he could marry this younger sister and make her the leader's wife at Wudang Mountain. Qi Shuming of the Emei Sect had Xun Lanyin helping him manage sect affairs, and judging from her appearance, temperament, and overall demeanor, she was no less impressive than Xun Lanyin. If he married her, he could also have her manage the sect's female disciples…

Guan Minghui continued speaking, leading Xu Feiniang to reveal that the treasure specifically designed to subdue demons was called the Azure Mirage Bottle.

"Is there really a treasure in this world that can specifically deal with the black evil clouds of that demon corpse? I find it hard to believe. My Purple Cloud Palace has many treasures, but after thinking about it, only Jin Xu Nu's Taiyi Qingning Fan can barely withstand it. That is also Master Lian Shan's treasure for suppressing demons. Can that Azure Mirage Bottle really capture those evil clouds that blot out the sky? I wonder if you could broaden my horizons?"
