Chapter 1050 Dancheng's Conspiracy Revealed

"Lord Nanchen!"

Upon seeing Zhou You appear, many Golden Immortals, who were old acquaintances of him, greeted him.

When he was traveling around the capital, he studied seal script with Fan Zu and attended many gatherings of the Golden Immortals. In the eyes of many Golden Immortals, he was a studious and ambitious junior.

Later, he followed Zhou Nanwang to take up his post in Lihuo Prefecture, and news of him was intermittently sent back to the capital.

When they met again, Zhou You had become a powerful figure on par with many Golden Immortal Dao experts.

Zhou You nodded to the Golden Immortals around him, but his hands moved quickly. He thrust the White Cloud Spear into the Calamity Demon's mouth and out through a bloody hole in the back of its head.

This is still not enough to completely eradicate the calamity.

Once a creature reaches the level of a malevolent spirit, it becomes very difficult to kill. Its head can split open like flower petals, and even if it is pierced or split open, it will not die. It can still jump around and kill or eat people.

The Calamity Demon is even more formidable; its head can split into countless blood vessels, and even if it is chopped into pieces, it can be restored to its original state.

It reacted extremely quickly, its upper and lower jaws snapping shut, its sharp teeth locking the White Cloud Spear in place.

Zhou You exerted force with his fingertips but couldn't pull the spear tip away. He decisively slashed out with his sword, striking the Demon of Calamity squarely in the neck.

This sword strike, when viewed from below, is like slicing through a cable wrapped with billions of steel and copper wires; it is tough and clings to the blade, offering extremely strong resistance.

With a thud, the Demon's head landed and rolled a few times before bouncing back up and trying to return to its neck.

"town!"

Having just removed the bloody eyeball, Half-Foot Fishing Light decisively severed its right hand, and a gigantic palm descended from the sky, enveloping the head of the Calamity Demon.

The chieftain of the Western Suspended Ten Thousand Caves Mountain had his flesh and blood replaced with seal script implements.

He acted without hesitation, seizing every opportunity to launch his attack, his offensive flowing like a never-ending river.

The demon's head was sealed shut, and the headless corpse continued to twitch; it was still alive.
Zhou You manipulated the spear shaft, piercing the opponent's spine and chest, pinning the headless body of the Calamity Demon to the ground.

With a whoosh, the Golden Immortals swarmed in, hooking onto parts of the Calamity Demon's body from all directions.

"back!"

The calamity unleashed a heart-wrenching scream, and the next moment it was dismembered into more than a dozen pieces.

With everyone working together, they finally managed to divide up the calamity.
His head fell into the hands of Ban Zhang Yu Huo, while his torso was taken away by Jin Lao from Wu Lao Zhuang...

The henchmen obtained fragments of the hand and foot, and each used inscribed tools to suppress and seal them.
The only one who didn't gain anything was Xiaoyaozi. His expression softened, and he bowed to Zhou You in gratitude, "Lord Nanchen, thank you so much for arriving in time!"

The Golden Immortals around them suddenly realized that this savior was actually invited by Xiaoyaozi.

The prevailing belief in Dijing is that Xiaoyaozi and Zhou Daqian had a very good relationship, and even the Demon Transformation Cauldron was forged with Xiaoyaozi's assistance, which created the formidable reputation of the Cauldron Guarding Army of Lihuo Prefecture.

Zhou Daqian's generous assistance this time can be considered a reciprocal gesture.

Zhou You didn't say much. Since the calamity was destroyed, the fluctuations in the void have subsided.

This shows that higher-level enchanted creatures do indeed pose a threat to the virtual world, and this situation is extremely dangerous.

If we're already in such a state after encountering the Calamity Demon, what if the Enchantress Queen appears?
Given how things are developing, it's highly likely that the Enchantress is manipulating events from behind the scenes. It's better if she doesn't show herself; once she does, Zhou You's facade will be in jeopardy, and many of his methods will become unusable.

Without those disguises as a buffer, Zhou You's strength will be greatly diminished.

"Gentlemen, the evil spirit is dead but not destroyed; its fragments are still causing trouble. If it cannot be completely suppressed, disaster will surely follow!"

Jin Lao said loudly, "We can't go any further. We must cast a spell here to completely seal away the calamity!"

As he spoke, he took the seal off his body and raised it above his head. The sky immediately lowered, transforming into a huge round tent that enveloped him, with a tide of seal script appearing on its surface.

Not bad! Half a Zhang Fishing Fire's severed hand clenched into a fist, blood flowing continuously from between its fingers—it was the dying struggle of the Calamity Demon's head.

He sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to suppress the enemy with all his might.

The eight henchmen of the heavens either took out the cauldron or used iron nails to drive into the fragments, each using their own methods to prevent the disaster from recurring.

Clearly, these Golden Immortals are all tied up here and unable to participate in the affairs of the Ice Polar Lung Palace.

"Then please continue your spells. I'll be going now!"

Zhou You bowed to Xiaoyaozi and the others to take his leave. When he returned to the Frozen Polar Region's Lung Palace, the Martial Saint Pill was nearing its end.

The Evil Pharmacist Qiwei truly lived up to his reputation as a genius. He successfully integrated the martial saint's aura brought by the Starry Copper Medicine Furnace into the Great Gentleman's body.

The Great Gentleman was originally a powerful figure in the Heavenly Sect. Although he could not compare to the most outstanding individuals, he was not an ordinary person either.

After absorbing the aura of a Martial Saint, a vibrant life force was brewing within her body, which could be called 'Martial Saint potential'.

Dongfang Daqian, standing to the side, watched with great envy. He possessed the bloodline of a Martial Saint and the corresponding ultimate techniques. If he obtained this life force, he would have an 80% chance of becoming a Martial Saint.

He suddenly understood, “There are signs of great strength and marks of a grandmaster in the world. I estimate that your so-called Martial Saint Pill is the same as these two types of existence, used to break through bottlenecks.”

"The Martial Saint Pill should more accurately be called the Martial Saint Mark, shouldn't it?"

The evil pharmacist Qiwei smirked, "You're a discerning person!"

"I haven't asked yet..."

Dongfang Daqian cupped his hands and introduced himself, "Dongfang Daqian, a descendant of the Sixth Martial Saint."

His tone was undisguised; anyone with a modicum of common sense would know that he came from a religion of human races, and was even a core seed.

Qiwei smiled, "You are qualified to sit at the table, please wait a moment!"

He patted the Starry Sky Bronze Furnace, and the image on the surface of the furnace, as brilliant as the starry sky, instantly began to flow, as if the universe itself had been miniature on it.

The Frozen Pyramid, a deep ice cavern located in the heart of the earth, was instantly engulfed by countless icy blue flames formed from condensed cold air.

The flames seemed to have eyes, moving one by one to land on the Great Gentleman, but without harming her.

The Great Gentleman closed her eyes slightly, and her aura slowly dissipated, the potential of that Martial Saint gradually transforming into a part of her.

This is artificially creating a Martial Saint, and not just a half-Saint, but a genuine Martial Saint.

Could it be that the true purpose of the evil alchemist Qiwei is to help the great gentleman become a martial saint?

Ah!
Dongfang Daqian revealed a disdainful sneer. A martial saint cannot be achieved by relying on external forces; one can only break through one's own shackles.

This is the core secret of their racial religion.

Based on the actions of the Evil Alchemist and his gang, they would only turn the Great Gentleman into a humanoid pill, not create a Martial Saint.

Therefore, as a victim, the fate of the great gentleman was sealed long ago.

Once the Great Gentleman completes his transformation and opens his eyes, her Martial Saint Pill will be considered 'freshly baked'.

At that time, Dongfang Daqian will be the first to make a move to compete for it.

He glanced at Mu Leizheng, and the strong female warrior understood his meaning, nodding to indicate that she would cooperate.

At the same moment, Zhou, who had joined forces with Dongfang Daqian to stop the Three Flavors and Five Flavors Pharmacists, had a glint in his eyes and was filled with crazy thoughts: "Lord Feng, how does it feel to be bitten by the dog you raised?"

"You'll taste it soon enough."
