A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Chen Yang checked his status.

[Host: Chen Yang]

[Remaining Spirit Stones: 900]

[Cultivation Techniques: Zhou Tian Body Tempering Technique, Perfected. Demon Refining and Soul Forging Technique, Perfected. Vajra Prajna Technique, Perfected. Five Thunder Devouring Demon Technique, Beginner Level. Shadowless Wind Meteor Sword, Perfected! Blood Frenzy Technique, Beginner Level]

[Items: Qingfeng Sword, mid-grade magic weapon, cannot be upgraded further. Soul-Slaying Bell, mid-grade magic weapon, cannot be upgraded further. Heart-Locking Armor: high-grade magic weapon]

Chen Yang glanced at the list and saw that the Blood Frenzy Technique consumed very few spirit stones.

Like the Wind and Cloud Mystery Step, it starts at twenty spirit stones.

"As expected, in the system's view, the martial arts techniques of the three major families in Qingzhou City are only average. Therefore, upgrading them requires relatively little effort."

[Ding! The Blood Frenzy Technique has been upgraded to the minor completion stage, costing twenty spirit stones.]

[Ding! Forty spirit stones have been consumed; the Blood Frenzy Technique has been upgraded to the Great Perfection stage.]

[Ding! Eighty spirit stones have been consumed to upgrade the Blood Frenzy Technique to its peak stage.]

[Ding! Consuming 160 spirit stones, the Blood Frenzy Technique has been upgraded to the Perfect Ultimate level.]

Chen Yang felt a sudden realization dawn on him!

Then, he couldn't help but stand up in surprise.

"Hmm? After cultivating this Blood Frenzy Technique to its perfect peak, not only can it unleash four times the berserk state, but the degree of mental confusion and cultivation damage can also be reduced!"

"This Blood Frenzy Technique, when considered in this light, truly deserves to be called a top-tier cultivation method!"

With this Blood Frenzy Technique, Chen Yang felt much more confident.

Now, it's time to settle accounts with Xiao Daoyun.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yang left the Liu residence and quietly took Meng Shuang to the Qin family.

Inside the Qin family's secret chamber.

Chen Yang and Qin Yue sat facing each other, with a map of Qingzhou City spread out on the table. The defenses of the city lord's mansion and the location of secret passages were clearly marked.

Qin Yue stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Young Master Chen, I believe the City Lord's Mansion must have evidence proving that Xiao Daoyun cultivates demonic arts. I think we should join forces and obtain the evidence first. With evidence, even if we are no match for Xiao Daoyun, we can still appeal to the capital and bring him to justice."

Chen Yang was overjoyed, as that was exactly what he wanted to do. He cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch Qin, the City Lord's Mansion is not easy to break into. I need you to lure Xiao Daoyun out of the city."

Qin Yue nodded and said, "That's what I thought too, so I was prepared a long time ago."

"Xiao Daoyun is currently at the fifth level of the Golden Body Realm and also cultivates demonic arts, making his strength unfathomable. It's impossible for him to be restrained head-on." Qin Yue pointed to the location of Black Wind Mountain on the topographic map. "There is a group of demonic beasts called Ironback Wolves in Black Wind Mountain. Influenced by the demonic energy in the mountain, they are violent in nature. My Qin family buried beast-attracting talismans in the mountain many years ago, which can trigger a wave of demonic beasts to attack the east gate of Qingzhou City. As the city lord, Xiao Daoyun will definitely lead the team to suppress them personally."

A glint of light flashed in Chen Yang's eyes: "How long does it take to activate the Beast Summoning Talisman? How long can the beast tide hold him back?"

"The Beast-Attracting Talisman can be activated in half an hour. The Ironback Wolf pack numbers over three hundred, and the destructive power of the demonic beasts is enough to plunge the East Gate into chaos. Xiao Daoyun will need at least two hours to completely suppress them."

"That's enough." Chen Yang smiled. "Two hours is enough for me to search the entire City Lord's Mansion."

Qin Yue stood up and cupped his hands in greeting: "Alright, then Young Master Chen, please be careful. Let's proceed now."

Late that night.

Outside Qingzhou City, the sound of hurried hoofbeats suddenly came.

Soon, the news reached the city lord's mansion.

Monsters are attacking Qingzhou City.

"What? A demonic beast?" Xiao Daoyun frowned.

Since its founding emperor established the Ming Dynasty, the country has been constantly hunting down monsters.

Although Qingzhou City is located on the edge of the Demon Mountain Range, it has not been attacked by demonic beasts for more than ten years.

However, the monsters weren't a big problem.

On the contrary, monsters are treasures from head to toe.

"Follow me out of the city to hunt!" Xiao Daoyun had no doubts. He flashed and led the way to the west of Qingzhou City.

Fifteen minutes later.

Chen Yang easily leaped and landed in the back garden of the city lord's mansion.

The garden was decorated with pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and flowing water in an extremely elegant manner, but a faint, almost imperceptible demonic aura lingered in the air, exactly the same as the aura emanating from Xiao Daoyun.

"This demonic energy is more concentrated than I imagined." Chen Yang frowned slightly, activated the Five Thunder Devouring Demon Technique, and a faint lightning light emanated from his body, isolating him from the demonic energy.

Following the map's directions, he sped towards the city lord's mansion's storeroom, easily dodging the guards he encountered along the way with his Shadowless Windfall Sword Footwork.

Silently.

Soon, based on Qin Yue's information, Chen Yang located the city lord's mansion's storeroom.

The warehouse is located in the northwest corner of the city lord's mansion and is guarded by two cultivators at the early stage of the Blood Exchange Realm.

Chen Yang hid behind the artificial hill, observing the two men's positions, and had already made up his mind. He suddenly activated the Shadowless Wind Meteor Sword, and his figure appeared behind the guard on the left like a ghost. He drew the Clear Wind Sword, and a sharp sword aura instantly sliced ​​through the opponent's neck.

Just as the guard on the right was about to cry out in alarm, Chen Yang struck him on the top of the head with a palm, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

Having dealt with the guards, Chen Yang pushed open the warehouse door, and a rich spiritual energy rushed towards him.

The warehouse was filled with shelves piled high with spirit stones, rare medicinal herbs, and ores. Several treasure chests were placed in the corner, emitting faint magical energy.

"As expected, they have a substantial fortune." A hint of joy flashed in Chen Yang's eyes as he opened his storage ring and began frantically collecting items.

"That's awesome! Murder and arson really do bring wealth; there's no faster way to make money than robbing! No wonder that reliable old man loves war so much!"

Just as Chen Yang was putting away the treasures, a faint groan came from deep inside the warehouse.

A thought struck him, and he followed the sound, discovering a hidden stone door at the far end of the warehouse. The stone door was engraved with complex runes and exuded a suppressive aura. Chen Yang circulated his spiritual power, placed his hands on the stone door, and exerted force.

"Boom!" The stone door was forcibly pushed open, revealing an underground secret chamber. In the center of the chamber were more than a dozen iron cages, each containing a cultivator. These cultivators were weak and pale, but their cultivation levels were all at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. However, their dantian was locked by some kind of restriction, preventing them from using their spiritual energy.

"Who are you? Why are you locked up here?" Chen Yang asked in a deep voice.

An elderly cultivator looked up, his eyes filled with despair and fear: "It's Xiao Daoyun! He captured us to refine demonic potions! He... he's already fallen to demonic possession!"

"A magic potion?" Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat.

"That's right!" The cultivator's voice trembled. "The demonic art he cultivates requires devouring the essence and spiritual energy of peak Qi Refining cultivators, then combining it with the demonic core of a demon to refine 'Spirit Devouring Demonic Liquid.' Consuming it can rapidly increase one's cultivation level, but it will completely corrupt one's mind, turning them into demonic puppets! More than a dozen of our companions have already been captured by him to refine the potion; we'll be next!"

Following the cultivator's gaze, Chen Yang saw several black pottery jars placed on a stone platform in the corner of the secret chamber. Inside were dark red liquids that emitted a strong smell of blood and demonic energy, making one feel nauseous.

Several black magic cores were scattered on the stone platform; they were the product of the condensation of otherworldly demons.
