Starting with the Corpse-Eating Worm, he worked his way up to become the Left-Winged Immortal Lord.

After leaving Gu Qing's residence, Li Fu went straight to the large dormitory room next door, where the young Taoists could rest for the time being.

The young Taoist disciples initially thought they had misheard and repeatedly asked for confirmation.

Upon being asked this, Li Fu immediately flew into a rage. "You're not happy about being told to rest? Whoever wants to work, come down the mountain right now!"

That's all.

Li Fu walked away.

After he left, the young disciples finally believed him completely, and many of them wept with joy.

Finally, I can rest!

Hearing these joyful sounds from just a wall away, Gu Qing felt a mix of emotions.

I wonder how many of them will make it through.

perhaps.

That's just how life is.

If he didn't have a cheat code, he probably wouldn't be much better off.

Gathering his thoughts, Gu Qing returned to his room to continue his meditation, and by evening he had recovered about 80-90% of his body's strength.

However, just as he was heading towards the back of the mountain, he saw a bonfire burning brightly on the city wall of Changping County in the distance.

He had heard people say that once a bonfire was lit on the city wall of Changping County, it meant that something major had happened in the city that could not be resolved.

Rebels attack the city?

Or perhaps it was a heretical cultivator massacring the city?

In short, it's definitely not a good thing.

Immediately afterwards, exclamations of surprise rang out one after another from Wufeng Temple.

"Changping County is attacked by vengeful ghosts. The Qi cultivators in the temple should quickly go down the mountain to provide assistance."

"Ghosts are attacking the city! Send reinforcements immediately!"

As shouts arose, people began to descend the mountain from the forest.

Seeing this, Gu Qing's heart skipped a beat—Deng was back!

Gu Qing glanced at the back mountain again, and a hint of hesitation flashed through his mind. He was afraid that Deng Hui's target was the shady place on the back mountain.

Because these things were clearly not done by one person.

Deng Hui has helpers!

"No, we'll have to hide in the temple tonight." Gu Qing immediately turned back, but before entering the temple, he released the corpse-eating worms.

Upon returning to the house, Gu Qing immediately controlled the Shadowless Corpse-Eating Insects to travel towards Fufeng Forest under the cover of night.

When they were only three or four miles away from Fufeng Forest, the Corpse-Eating Insects immediately noticed the extremely unusual stillness of Fufeng Forest.

In the past, there were still some insects chirping in the woods.

Now, even the sound of falling leaves can't be heard.

As Gu Qing drew closer, he directly sensed a terrifying aura enveloping the entire Fufeng Forest.

The corpse-eating worm's senses couldn't penetrate it, and as soon as it tried to probe, it felt a sense sweep over it.

That sense was very powerful.

The corpse-eating worms felt as if they were being watched, even with just a slight sensation.

Fortunately, after remaining still for three breaths, the corpse-eating worm entered a state of concealment, thus avoiding being detected by that sense.

However, after only a few breaths, a dark figure appeared outside Fufeng Forest, each step he took exuding an incredibly powerful aura. Even from a distance, just by looking through the corpse-devouring worms, one could clearly feel his strength.

At least the fifth level of Qi Refining.

It might even be the sixth level of Qi Refining!

"Um?"

The man looked around, his senses scanning the surroundings thoroughly. Finding nothing, he then re-entered the Fufeng Forest.

As he entered Fufeng Forest, a large amount of white mist suddenly rose above it, pressing down on the forest like a mountain. Faintly visible were the flickering array patterns, but they exuded a strange chill that inspired fear.

"What kind of formation is this? It has actually submerged the entire Fufeng Forest." Gu Qing was shocked by what he saw.

Fortunately, he reminded Li Fu again today.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be Li Fu.

And all those Taoist boys will die here tonight.

……

As night deepened, the commotion in Changping County subsided, indicating that the vengeful ghost had been largely dealt with.

It was at this moment that someone finally realized Fufenglin.

The first to arrive at Fufeng Forest was a female cultivator with snow-white hair and an aged appearance, but her eyes possessed a sharpness that even Lu Xingzhi lacked.

As soon as she reached the outside of Fufeng Forest, she cast a talisman with a wave of her hand.

The talisman rose into the air and transformed into waves of fire.

Ignite the night sky.

It also illuminated the great array in Fufeng Forest.

But a chilling cold wave that followed instantly engulfed the fire.

"A Yin Formation! A top-tier second-order Yin Formation!" The female cultivator's expression changed, and she suddenly realized, "So Deng Hui's target has always been Fufeng Forest."

The words fell.

The female cultivator quickly retreated.

But the Yin Formation did not react at all, and no one from within the formation came to pursue them.

Seeing this, Gu Qing vaguely guessed the identity of the person who came. It should be Daoist Qiuyue, the manager of the Talisman Hall at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

As soon as Daoist Qiuyue raised his hand, he crushed a jade talisman, and an aura rose from the ground in Wufeng Temple.

It was Lu Xingzhi.

Lu Xingzhi leaped into the air, his feet treading on azure light, cutting through the sky as he headed straight for Fufeng Forest. He also left behind an order: "Those below the third level of Qi Refining, remain at the temple; those above the third level of Qi Refining, come to Fufeng Forest immediately!"

The order was given.

Seven or eight more figures appeared in the temple.

When the group arrived at Fufeng Forest, Daoist Qiuyue immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, come with me to break the formation."

"A top-tier second-order Yin formation." With just one glance, Lu Xingzhi noticed the clue, and a pair of golden scissors appeared behind him as he raised his hand.

Seeing this, Daoist Qiuyue also took out seven or eight second-tier talismans from his collection.

however.

The talisman and the golden scissors fell simultaneously, and even though the surrounding grass and trees trembled, they could not shake the second-tier Yin formation in the slightest.

Even when the disciples of Wufeng Temple came to their aid and joined forces to break the formation, they still did not pose much of a threat to it.

"This top-tier second-order Yin formation seems to be the Hidden Yin Tortoise Shell Formation of the Heavenly Principle Sect. I'm afraid only the Vice Abbot and his group can break it." Lu Xingzhi looked at the golden scissors with a solemn expression. His second-order magic weapon was almost worn down from cutting.

Master Qiuyue's face darkened. "So Deng Hui has actually colluded with the Heavenly Principle Sect?"

"Otherwise, why would anyone help him lure the tiger away from the mountain? The more they do this, the more complicated their desires must be. There must be something extraordinary in this Fufeng Forest." Lu Xingzhi raised his hand and took out a golden talisman.

The talisman was produced.

Golden light emanated from it.

Sword energy crisscrossed.

"This is the Sword-Sweeping Talisman, a third-tier protective talisman given to me by the abbot before he left. In this situation, it's the only thing I can use."

Even though he had already made the decision, Lu Xingzhi's brows furrowed with reluctance.

Because third-tier talismans are too precious.

At the same time, Gu Qing watched this scene quietly, anticipating the effect of the third-tier talisman.

If Deng Hui were to turn Fufeng Forest upside down, the other party would definitely know that the True Method of Foundation Building without the Worm's Return had already been obtained by someone else.

At that time, those Taoist boys, as well as him and Li Fu, will become the focus of attention.

Most importantly, after this incident, Deng Hui will definitely be more cautious and will never easily appear in the open.

As the saying goes, it's easy to defend against a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.

He didn't want to be stared at by a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator.

next moment.

The Sword-Sweeping Talisman ascended into the sky.

Sword energy emanated from all directions, and golden light covered the forest.

A powerful aura, surpassing the mid-stage of Qi Refining, descended like a tidal wave, followed by a ten-zhang-long golden sword appearing in mid-air.

The point where the sword tip is pointing.

The forest shook and the earth trembled.

"fall!"

As Lu Xingzhi finished speaking, the golden sword fell.
