Evil Immortal!

Gu Zhengyang then unleashed his trump card: the Yin Dragon Entangling Silk Seal in one hand and the Vajra Treasure Elephant Seal in the other. When the two seals were combined, they formed the Dragon Elephant Treasure Seal, which smashed the flying sword and the bronze furnace artifact with a clanging sound.

Behind it, two phantom images appeared: a lithe and sacred golden dragon and a powerful white jade elephant. The two intertwined and merged, transforming into a giant god with bulging muscles and unparalleled ferocity!

The giant exhaled clouds, supporting the sky and stomping on the earth. Although it was a phantom, the aura it emitted was exceptionally terrifying!

"Both of these two are rare cultivation geniuses in the world. Their cultivation levels are similar, and their talents are comparable. They are at least nightmare-level templates."

Watching the grand spectacle of the two clashing, Meng Yuan stood by with his arms crossed, seemingly unconcerned. His strength had increased and his injuries had healed, making him much calmer: "It won't be easy to determine a winner in a short time."

"But... what about the Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede? And what about the elders of the Golden Rooster Temple? Aren't they secretly tracking Wu Xingkong all along?"

Meng Yuan's gaze swept over the Yinliu River, and a guess began to form in his mind, "Could it be...?"

The moment a thought flashed through his mind, a blood-red demonic light shot out from the water, hurtling towards Gu Zhengyang.

This blood-red demonic light was bloody and filled with an aura of blood, evil, and destruction, causing Du Caidie and the withered monk not far away to change color.

Its speed and the speed of its attack were so great that no one had time to react.

Meng Yuan thought to himself that if it were him, he definitely wouldn't have been able to escape it.

As for Gu Zhengyang, he was directly struck by this demonic light.

However, a ray of spiritual light rose from his body, which just happened to block the demonic light.

Gu Zhengyang let out a long roar, and the phantom of the giant god behind him transformed into a stream of light and merged into his body.

Then, his long hair flew up, his five fingers came together, and he clenched his fist, as if the sun and moon were rotating. With one punch, he knocked away the flying sword that was coming down on him with a "clang". The flying sword cried out and made a cracking sound.

"The enemy has arrived! Please, senior, make your move!"

"Thank you for your trouble, young friend Gu... Please leave the rest to me!"

At this moment, an old man dressed in a blue Taoist robe appeared in mid-air not far away. He had a lean appearance and a gentle and peaceful face. He held a whisk in his hand, and on his back was embroidered a golden rooster that shone like gold. His aura was as deep as the sea, and he had the demeanor of a master.

"I, Jin Yu, humbly request that Senior Xueqian appear and have a discussion!"

As he spoke, he waved his whisk, and three thousand strands of white hair, each like a sword, pierced the bottom of the Yinliu River.

The next moment, a strange roar came from the bottom of the water.

Then, a centipede with a thousand arms, over fifty meters long and as thick as a house, wriggled and crawled ashore. It burst out with dense demonic energy, quickly broke free from the fine threads of the whisk that were tied to its body, and its upper body rose up, level with the old man in the Taoist robe.

The old man's head, with its white hair, had opened its eyes, exuding a sinister aura, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth:

"Who do we have here? It's you! That bastard from the Spirit Sect has taken on a fine disciple... Who would have thought that the little boy who used to serve tea and water under the Spirit Sect's tutelage would now become a great cultivator at the top-grade Core Formation level!"

His bloodshot eyes, which were raised between his brows, turned to look at Gu Zhengyang. "I just don't know when the elders of Jinji Temple started getting mixed up with the people from the Demon Suppression Division."

"Demons and evil spirits must be exterminated by everyone!"

Gu Zhengyang snorted coldly, dismissing it with disdain, "How could someone as wicked as you possibly understand?!"

Blood-Eyed Ancestor glanced at Gu Zhengyang, about to say something, when he heard Golden Feather True Man leisurely say, "Two hundred years ago, after the lunar eclipse calamity occurred, evil spirits ran rampant, demons danced wildly, and demonic energy polluted and spread to all parts of the world. Those demons and evil spirits would slaughter villages and destroy cities at will, devouring flesh and blood and souls, leaving the fields full of white bones, and countless people dead and injured, unable to find peace."

"In order to maintain peace and protect the millions of people, the Great Mu Dynasty established the Demon Suppression Division, which has been dedicated to slaying demons and monsters and deterring evil throughout the world."

"Over the past two hundred years, we have slain countless demons and eradicated numerous evil spirits, sparing the people of the Central Plains from the suffering caused by demonic ravages!"

"Such actions are truly meritorious and will be remembered for eternity. I, too, deeply admire them. What harm is there in making acquaintances with this young friend from the Demon Suppression Division?"

Jin Yu Zhenren cupped his hands towards the direction of Yujing City in Zhongzhou and smiled slightly: "As for you, Senior Xueqian, you are one of the most outstanding experts in the world. You have already attained the Indestructible Demon Body and are not far from the position of True Demon of the Primordial Spirit. Why do you have to target my rebellious disciple? He may have some talent, but how can he be worthy of the Ancestor's personal assistance? Could it be that this boy has a secret that even I, his master, do not know?!"

"Wu Xingkong's talent is extraordinary. For him to become a disciple of your Golden Rooster Temple is like casting pearls before swine, a complete waste of his talent. Joining my ranks would be the true way to make the best use of his abilities, ensuring his talents are not buried!"

The Blood-Eyed Ancestor chuckled, his massive body twisting slightly, his tail stirring the Yin Willow River into a raging torrent that crashed against the banks, creating a suffocating and terrifying pressure: "But Golden Feather brat, you don't need to try to trick me. I can only tell you, with me here, no matter what methods you have, you can't stop him!"

Master Jin Yu chuckled lightly: "I have indeed long heard of your esteemed name, Senior. However... I would like to test your Blood Eye Divine Power to see if it is truly as terrifying as the rumors suggest!"

"Arrogant!"

Blood-Eyed Ancestor snorted coldly.

"Once I've skinned you alive, gutted you, and turned you into a blood demon clone, let's see if you'll still be laughing then!"

Meng Yuan noticed that after Jin Yu Zhenren appeared, Wu Xingkong stopped fighting Gu Zhengyang and his expression became complicated before he disappeared.

He said loudly, "Master, you have treated me well. I will repay your kindness in teaching and guiding me in the future. However, everyone has their own ambitions. The immortal path is not my wish; the demonic path is my destiny! Our paths are different, so we cannot work together. I hope you can grant my wish and not hinder me!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our past friendship!"

"evil creature!"

Jin Yu Zhenren, dressed in a blue Daoist robe, moved without wind, the golden rooster embroidered on the back seemingly coming to life. His body swirled with spiritual light, and unable to suppress the surging anger within him, a hint of gloom appeared on his otherwise venerable face as he sternly rebuked:

"You abandoned the path to heaven, yet willingly succumbed to depravity, falling into the demonic path and stealing the sect's most precious treasure! And now you still have the nerve to utter such words! I was truly blind back then to accept such a heartless, ungrateful wretch as my disciple, only to raise such a wicked creature!"

"Today, I am determined to cleanse the sect of past transgressions and make amends for my past mistakes, in order to repay the kindness of my master in raising me!"

He didn't bother with any more words. With a flick of his sleeve, he produced an ancient bronze mirror with a simple and elegant design. It hung high above his head, emitting dazzling golden rays that were both sacred and intense, like a great sun shining in the sky.

Wherever the golden light passed, all the evil spirits within a radius of several thousand feet screamed and turned to ashes. The foul and yin energy collapsed and evaporated, and even the fish monsters and evil spirits in the Yin Willow River were no exception.
