From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

This middle-aged Taoist with an elegant face is none other than Pei Zhengsheng, one of the two pillars of the Qingcheng Sword Sect and the master of Yunya Peak who once sealed the barrier with a single sword and prevented the demonic calamity.

Pei Zhengsheng sighed:
"No one could have predicted that a master whose background you don't know would suddenly appear from the side. Qinglin, this time, your defeat is not unfair.

Sooner or later, I will help you get back your debt."

Although he was expressing regret, his tone was still calm and down-to-earth, giving people a feeling of security and stability.

After finishing his words, Pei Zhengsheng looked into the distance and said softly:
"You should give me an explanation for this matter."

This attic is where Pei Zhengsheng practices, and it is named "Viewing Thousand Swords". It houses a thousand swords, all of which were made by Pei Zhengsheng himself.

Disciples of Yunya Peak, if they have made progress in their practice, can enter this building to look for swords. Every time a sword is taken away, Pei Zhengsheng will forge another sword to fill the vacancy, so that the number of thousand swords always remains the same.

Now, although Pei Zhengsheng's expression did not change and his tone was even calmer, as soon as these words came out, a feeling of sharpness and chill suddenly arose in the huge attic.

Thousands of swords moved at the same time, making clanging sounds.

It seemed that the ten-story Thousand Swords Tower had transformed into a peerless divine sword standing toward the sky at this moment. The sword energy was cold and sharp, and the sword chanting sounded from top to bottom, continuous and passionate, like a wave, blocking the entire building.

Amid the sound of the sword, a particularly tall figure, about 15 feet tall, gradually emerged. He said in a deep voice:
"The so-called Red Tribulation Demon Lord of the Southern Xinjiang Left Sect is definitely not someone from the Yaksha Shura Heaven. As far as I know, Wang Yanzhang also has an incarnation, who was killed by this person."

The affairs of the Red Tribulation Demon Lord have spread throughout the world in recent days.

Although Youyou Yamatian has shown signs of decline in recent years, it is still one of the Five Demon Sects with a profound foundation, and the Southern Heavenly Demon still exists in the world.

As the saying goes, even a rotten boat still has three nails, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, Nanzhi can't be considered "rotten" or "dead" at present.

But such a great sect was actually destroyed by a mysterious master alone, stepping on the wreckage of the southern branch headquarters. For a time, the name "Red Tribulation Demon Lord" became famous.

Everyone in the world believed that this person was from the Yaksha Shura Heaven, and that he had teamed up with Wang Yanzhang to strangle the remnants of the Southern Branch of the Demon Sect.

But this tall shadow is a member of the Demon Sect, and has a very high status in the Western Pure Land. Naturally, he knows that there are some untruths in this rumor.

When he mentioned Wang Yanzhang, there was a rare hint of joking in his tone.

It's just because this person is a general under the command of the Western Demon. The western and northern sects have always been at odds with each other, so it's natural for them to gloat over other people's misfortune and take advantage of others' misfortune.

This man's muscles bulged all over his body, and his bones were sharp and fierce. He was so fierce that it seemed as if the corners of his eyes were about to be cut.

After these words were spoken, the sounds of sword chanting in the whole building became much quieter, becoming more and more tortuous and plaintive, as if the turbulent waves had turned into a surging undercurrent. Although the sound was small, it was even more unpredictable.

The shadow was also shocked when he saw this, realizing that the cultivation level of the Yunya Peak Master was indeed higher than he had expected.

I'm afraid that if this person is really as the rumors say, he is not far from taking that step.

Pei Zhengsheng hummed and said:
"Huang Jutian has been living in seclusion for these years. He must have been studying the magic skills of the other four sects, trying to challenge the authority of the Central Sky Demon Lord.

Could this Red Tribulation Demon Lord who suddenly appeared be his creation?"

Although they understood that the Red Tribulation Demon Lord was not a master from the Northern Branch, Pei Zhengsheng and the tall phantom were both very sure that this person was indeed from the Demon Sect.

Then, among the Five Demon Sects, the only one who could possibly cultivate such a person and have the motivation and reason to do these things is the Eastern Sang Emperor Fuyaotian.

The tall shadow frowned:
"It's not impossible. I also heard that this person is also very proficient in emotional abilities. Could it be that Huang Jutian really has..."

When he talked about this, he couldn't help but show some fear on his face. Pei Zhengsheng's eyes moved and he said:
“Don’t forget that the Sky Peng in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was created by Huang Jutian and Zhu Wen in an attempt to challenge the authority of the Central Sky Demon Lord and integrate the cultivation methods of the various sects of the Demon Sect.

Now that so many years have passed, with Huang Jutian's amazing talent, it is not impossible for him to make another breakthrough in this area."

Hearing this, the shadow nodded heavily. Although his face was blurry, a solemnity was still revealed in this action.

Pei Zhengsheng said again:
"But no matter what, since he killed my disciple, Pei must kill him. You should hurry up and find his whereabouts."

This condescending, commanding tone made the general of the Demon Sect's Western Branch feel furious, but he dared not say a word in response.

In fact, until now, he still doesn't know why this world-renowned sword master who hates evil would cooperate with the Demon Sect.

This “not knowing” naturally leads to extreme distrust.

He didn't even know whether Pei Zhengsheng was truly surrendering or just pretending to do so and would launch a counterattack when the time was right.

Precisely because of this, this brave general of the Demon Sect, who had a fierce temperament and was known for being "arrogant", did not dare to provoke Pei Zhengsheng.

Pei Zhengsheng ignored his mood changes, but turned around again, looked out of the attic, the winding and undulating, endless 36 peaks of Qingcheng, and said leisurely:

"However, this man is indeed very courageous. He actually dared to let Qian Laolong lead the team and come to Qingcheng Mountain to pay homage with great fanfare. Pei would like to see what he is sure of."

In Pei Zhengsheng's eyes, it is an indisputable fact that Qiantang Jun has been influenced by the devil's magic.

But such a powerful follower is rare even for the Heavenly Demon. The other party actually dared to send him to the Qingcheng Sword Sect where the Sword Immortal was in charge. Isn't this walking into a trap?

The most peculiar thing is that Qiantang Jun and that group of people have been staying at Huiyan Peak for several days, but no demonic energy has been detected at all. It is truly horrifying.

Could it be that Huang Jutian's methods are really so superb that he has fully comprehended the essence of the great law of Hehua Zizai Tian?
While Pei Zhengsheng was communicating with this person, he suddenly became stunned and his expression became quite strange. He turned around and said quietly:

"He attacked again. This time, he was in Jinshan Temple. He was repelled by the Kanglong Palace Shi Gan Dang and the three statues of Jinshan Temple."

The Western Branch strongman also froze, and after a moment of silence, he could not help but ask sincerely:

"What on earth does this person want to do?!"

Breaking into Southern Xinjiang and destroying the Southern Branch's main temple could be said to be to clean up the mess from the past and build momentum for the Eastern Branch to unify the Five Sects. So what was the purpose of this surprise attack on Jinshan Temple?
This strong man from the Western Branch is very familiar with Huang Jutian and the style of the entire Eastern Branch. He absolutely does not believe that they would run around like headless flies. There must be a reason behind this.

Moreover, he had another doubt in his mind:
——When did Jinshan Temple train the next Vajra Master? !
Could it be that Cihang Pudu really...? !

Pei Zhengsheng's eyes fixed:
"This person took action because he wanted to take the Dragon's Saliva Mouth. Huang Jutian has been holding the 'Yinshi Youquan' for many years, I'm afraid he has already understood it. We also need to speed up here."

Hearing this, the master from the western branch was also startled.

The thing they were seeking for when they came to Qingcheng Mountain this time was also related to the "secret springs in the underworld". After all, the ruins of Fengdu in the past were in Qingcheng Mountain.

If Huang Jutian is really planning this, then he must speed up the process.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and said in admiration:
"This Huang Jutian is indeed a man of extraordinary talent and shrewdness. If he doesn't make a move, then it's fine. But once he makes a move, he will take the lead step by step, not giving anyone a chance to breathe."

Pei Zhengsheng agreed with this and said:

"You guys hurry up and prepare. I will go meet Qiantang Jun in person to find out the truth about that person."

The Xizhina man looked at Pei Zhengsheng deeply and said in a deep voice:
"Master Pei, Grandmaster Pei, no matter what your plan is, I hope that you and I can cooperate happily this time."

Pei Zhengsheng nodded without hesitation and said:

"Pei and you are not from the same path. It is natural for us to go our separate ways. However, before Fengdu officially appears in the world, our cooperation will never be disturbed in any way."

-

Just when everyone in Qingcheng Mountain was in chaos over Xu Xing's matter, the three fellow practitioners had also reached the end.

After five days, Xu Xing slowly opened his eyes. There was no trace of golden light in his eyes, and his face and figure had not changed at all.

It seemed that he did not perform a crucial refining technique, but rather had been sleeping for five full days. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was full of energy, and his gaze was warm and refreshing.

The strange-shaped long sword behind Fahai was shaking constantly, constantly emitting wisps of scarlet light, which seemed to be the essence of fire and the soul of flame. It was obvious that it benefited greatly.

Above Bai Suzhen's head, the "Bodhi Mirror" condensed again, and beneath her body there appeared a lotus platform with thirty-six petals. On her back grew a Bodhi tree full of Zen and Buddha's light.

The combination of these three makes her white dress look even more holy. She is really like the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.

Fahai sighed:
"In just five days, the Venerable has already completely mastered the Heart Seal inheritance. He is truly a genius. Fahai admires him."

Xu Xing also smiled and said:
"Although I already know the true meaning, I am still not ready to fully utilize it."

Although he had gained a lot in the past few days, there was still some regret in Xu Xing's words.

This is because although he has touched the great supernatural power after the integration of the Maha, Vajra and Bodhi meridians of Jinshan Temple, he is limited by his current foundation and cannot truly put this understanding into practice.

For a practical person like Xu Xing who is used to practicing martial arts with his upper body trained, this is a great pity.

Fahai's expression remained unchanged, and he shook his head and said:

"To cross the five realms, to settle the four right paths, and to return to the three enlightenments is the way to seek the realization of bodhisattva. Only those who have first achieved self-savior and self-enlightenment as arhats can reluctantly use them. The venerable one does not need to rush for success."

There was a hint of admonition in Fahai's words.

There are countless practitioners in this world who have been ruined by the four words "hasty for quick success". Once they are completely addicted to it, they only seek for supernatural powers and neglect their heart of Tao. It is very easy for them to fall into the devil's barrier and be taken advantage of by the demons.

Especially for people like Xu Xing, who also practice magic techniques, he must be extra cautious.

Xu Xing naturally understood what Fahai meant, nodded, and said with a smile:
"In fact, I can feel that behind this great magical power, there should be three other magical powers hidden, which can be called supreme. I think these correspond to the higher level of cultivation methods."

Fahai was stunned, with some disbelief in his eyes, but he also had some understanding, so he couldn't help asking:
"Your Excellency, did you just... get some kind of help?"

Although Fahai's words were vague, Xu Xing understood what he meant and nodded:
"I think that is the real reason why Jinshan Temple has been able to stand till now."

Fahai was silent upon hearing this, and sighed:
"It is not convenient for me to say more about the secret of a certain ancestor, but that is indeed the real support of my Jinshan Temple."

Xu Xing said clearly:
"In that case, there is no need to say more. Master, please!"

This time, Fahai did not put his hands together, but imitated Xu Xing, cupped his hands and said in a deep voice:

"See you then."

Although they only practiced together for five days, during these five days, the three people's spirits, thoughts, and magical powers entered into a deep resonance, and the trust between them was beyond doubt.

Xu Xing looked at the sword behind him again and said with a smile:

"Master, I am also very interested in what you are going to do. When the matter of Qingcheng is over, I will come to help you."

Xu Xing was about to say goodbye to Bai Suzhen, but he saw the Bodhisattva blinked at him and said softly:
"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency."

Xu Xing didn't understand what he meant and didn't ask any more questions. He just went to Xu Xian's villa and announced the news that he was leaving.

Although it has only been five days, Xu Xian and Nie Xiaoqian have already mastered their skills to a high level. The martial arts of the two "seniors" Zuo Qingtian and Liu Yi have also made considerable progress.

Xu Xing selected these people because each of them has their own strengths. As long as they can be taught martial arts that match their own talents, they will naturally achieve great success.

Xu Xian didn't actually have anything to bring, but after hearing this, his expression suddenly became a little awkward, and he asked hesitantly:
"Master, I have a capable assistant. Can I...?"

In fact, Xu Xian had wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but Xu Xing always came and went in a hurry, leaving him no chance to ask.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Liu Yi and Zuo Qingtian became nervous, and even the usually taciturn Nie Xiaoqian's eyes became curious.

After all, Xu Xing was an experienced person. Just by looking at Xu Xian's face, he knew that something was definitely wrong with this kid, but he couldn't help feeling strange.

Logically speaking, as a couple who had been enemies for seven generations, Xu Xian should not have any sparks with others, let alone on the territory of Jinshan Temple. Could it be that...

When Xu Xing thought of what Bai Suzhen had just said, he suddenly realized something, but he just held back his laughter and waved his hand:
"Our sect hasn't even been established yet, and we are in need of people. As long as you have talent and virtue, I will welcome anyone who comes."

Xu Xian was about to explain, but Xu Xing said:

"Since you are Hanwen's assistant, I won't ask any more questions. Bring him here, and we'll go together."

Xu Xian turned around and ran out of the courtyard as if he had been pardoned. Liu Yi and others looked at his joyful back and couldn't help laughing.

Even Nie Xiaoqian, who was quite polite and reserved, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, thinking that this scene was particularly interesting.

However, when Xu Xian brought his assistant back, even Xu Xing, who was well prepared, was stunned.

Following behind Xu Xian was a young girl with lively eyes and full of energy, dressed in black.

The man looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with his hair tied into a ponytail, wearing a martial robe with arrow sleeves, arm guards on his hands, a sword on his back and a knife on his right hand. He also had a water ripple bracelet on his right hand, looking very heroic.

As soon as she walked in, she faced Xu Xing and the others, clasped her hands together, and shouted crisply:
"My name is Jin Yanxia, ​​nice to meet you all."

Although Jin Yanxia was covered a lot, Xu Xing still saw her true identity at a glance. She was actually an incarnation of Bai Suzhen.

But when Xu Xing thought that the Bodhisattva White Lady, who walked like a willow in the wind with a dignified demeanor, had transformed into such a lively little girl, he couldn't help laughing and sighed in his heart.

——You two really know how to have fun...

When introducing, Jin Yanxia looked at Xu Xing and blinked. Her expression was exactly the same as that of Bodhizun just now, with a hint of mischief in her eyes. She said in a very generous manner:

"This must be Sect Master Xu. He looks so young, and he is indeed very promising. Yanxia dares to call you Big Brother. How about that?"

Hearing this, Xu Xing's expression couldn't help but become strange.

——You have been practicing for many years, why do you call me Big Brother?
His moment of hesitation was accurately captured by Jin Yanxia. The little girl tilted her head, her eyes immediately became sinister, but the smile on her face became sweeter.

Xu Xing suddenly remembered that this person had also cultivated and achieved enlightenment at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. He also remembered the story of the group of women from the Tang Clan in Shu in the Northern Song Dynasty. He no longer found it strange and said with a smile:

"Since the girl is willing, I can be bold."

Having said that, Xu Xing's eyes also became filled with emotion.

Back then, someone wanted to be his sister. Who would have thought that now someone is forcing him to be the eldest brother? Things in the world are unpredictable.

——I just don’t know what that person is like now?

Xu Xing suddenly discovered that he seemed to have become more sensitive since coming to this world. Could it be that he had practiced more emotional abilities and seen more love between men and women, making him more empathetic?

Xu Xian did not read out the conversation between Jin Yanxia and Xu Xing, but just said cheerfully:

"I told you, Sect Master Xu is a generous person."

When Jin Yanxia heard this, she thought of Xu Xing's white bone body sitting in Yinshan Mountain and controlling the dragons, and her eyes became more helpless.

——I don’t know what kind of sin I have suffered to have to be stuck with such a stupid man for several lifetimes. Alas.

Xu Xing didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and accepted the compliment. He gave Xu Xian a thumbs up and said solemnly:

"Good boy, you have good vision."

After Xu Xing led the group of prospective disciples away, Fahai turned around and looked at Bai Suzhen with a slight smile:
“Bodhi, now we can spread the news that Jinshan Temple was attacked by the Red Tribulation Demon Lord and that we managed to repel him, to Qingcheng Sword Sect and the southeast.”

Although Fahai's smile was bright and sunny, Bai Suzhen felt a chill in her heart and could not help but admire him:
"Maha Zun, no wonder you are the host."

Fahai shook his head, sighed, spread his hands, and said helplessly:

"The world is like this, I have no choice..."

Bai Suzhen could hear the gurgling sound of the evil water rolling around her ears again. She felt that with this person around, it was only natural that the demon race could not defeat the human race.

A quiet stream in Qingcheng Mountain.

Li Xiu Ru was standing beside the stream, with his eyes closed, concentrating on refining his sword. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in his face, making his hair fly in a mess and causing him to float backwards violently.

A thick shadow was cast from the other side of the stream, completely engulfing Li Xiuru's small body.

It was a strange beast that looked like a bear, half black and half white, with big round eyes, thick cheeks, and a round body. From a distance, it looked extremely cute.

However, it always keeps its eyes raised and never looks people in the eye, giving people a feeling of arrogance and contempt for others.

The strange beastman stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked down at Li Xiuru, and scolded him in a tone of disappointment:
"I've taught you so many times that even here, you must always be on guard. Do you really think that Qingcheng Mountain is absolutely safe?"

Li Xiuru exclaimed, raised his head, looked at the strange beast, and said puzzledly:

"But, aren't you here now, Senior?"

The strange beast was originally feeling depressed and wanted to take this opportunity to teach Li Xiuru a lesson, but when he heard these words, his anger suddenly dissipated by more than half. He just snorted a few times and said proudly:

"Of course. No matter who wants to touch you, they have to ask me first."

This strange beast is none other than the guardian deity of Qingcheng Mountain, a black and white bear, a unique species that is the only one of its kind in the world.

It is a prehistoric alien species with no similar species. Naturally, it has no sense of belonging to the demon race. Instead, it is keen on poetry, books, rituals and music of the human race. It has concealed its identity many times and entered private schools.

Having read many books about strange beasts and seen so many unfair things in the books, he often felt depressed and angry, which accumulated in his chest and was difficult to relieve. So he gave himself a name, Nangong Hen.

Because his original form was a "black and white bear", he called himself "The Black and White Man". Others did not understand the meaning of this and only thought that he had a fiery personality, was resolute and upright, and could clearly distinguish between black and white.

In addition to reading, Nangong Hen's second hobby is fighting. When he was in the Ten Thousand Mountains, he was very powerful and had fought with almost all the demon kings there.

Therefore, King Dapeng was able to gather so many people and seize the yin and yang energies of the black and white bear and use them for his own benefit.

But they also didn't expect that although this "Reading Bear" had always been violent with his yin and yang energies, his physical training was also extremely outstanding. He even practiced a boxing style that relied purely on physical strength, called "Furious Horse Lingguan".

With the skill of riding a furious horse through the pass, Nangong Hen took advantage of the opportunity when King Dapeng was distracted in suppressing the black and white energies and forcibly broke out of the encirclement, and was rescued by a master of the Qingcheng Sword Sect.

Since that battle, he became the guardian deity of the Qingcheng Sword Sect. His temperament became more extreme, and the word "hate" became more and more true.

Determined to take revenge, Nangong Hen lived alone in the mountains, trying to restore his yin and yang energies. Apart from Yan Chixia, the master of Huiyan Peak who saved his life, he was only friendly with Li Xiuru.

After Nangong Hen finished speaking, a rare look of caution appeared on his always arrogant face.

"The atmosphere in Qingcheng Mountain right now is not right. It seems something big is about to happen. Even though I am here, you should be careful to avoid being plotted against by villains."

Having said that, it looked at Li Xiuru's thin body again, shook its furry bear head, and sneered disdainfully:

"You sword cultivators may be fast, accurate and ruthless in chopping people, but you can't stand being hit. The physiques of those great masters are not much better than paper, let alone a kid like you."

When Nangong Hen mocked the sword cultivator's physique, he still had a rather commanding and powerful demeanor, and then he said:
"The Qiantang Jun you brought with you is a master, a rare helper, and the most rare thing is that he is also smart and resourceful."

Even though Nangong Hen was arrogant and domineering, his tone became more formal when he mentioned Qiantang Jun.

On the first day that Qiantang Jun represented the Sea Realm Dragon Palace and brought everyone to the Qingcheng Sword Sect to pay homage, Nangong Hen jumped out and challenged the world-renowned Second Master of the Dragon Palace in public.

Since his yin and yang energies were taken away, Nangong Hen did not give up this path, but he also walked a long way on the ancient road of gods and demons. When he saw Qiantang Jun, who was a master of this path, he would naturally not let him go.

As for etiquette and rules, he had already seen through them during his years of studying, so naturally he wouldn't care about them at all now.

Qiantang Jun's personality is similar to Nangong Hen's, and he has also heard of the name of this guardian deity, so naturally he would not refuse.

Therefore, before he climbed Mount Qingcheng, he had a fight with Nangong Hen in the mountain.

Although the bear and the dragon were both great masters of the ancient ways, they fought in a very simple and natural way, using just one punch and one claw to attack them fiercely, making the mountains shake and the earth tremble, and they were extremely brutal.

If there had not been several great masters in charge that day, I'm afraid that several of the thirty-six peaks would have been demolished by these two. Even so, the battlefield was still in a mess and ruins.

After the battle, Qiantang Jun was taken to Huiyan Peak. He neither went to pay a visit to the sect leader, Chicheng Sword Immortal, nor did he return home. Instead, he stayed there and recuperated from his injuries.

Nangong Hen knew that if he only talked about physical training and physical supernatural powers, he was now a level lower than Qiantang Jun. Only by re-cultivating the yin and yang energies could he compete with this old dragon and determine the winner.

Therefore, he did not go to recuperate, but went deep into the back mountain of Qingcheng and started his own research. It was not until today that he suddenly appeared in front of Li Xiuru.

When Li Xiuru heard this, he suddenly had an idea and blurted out:

"Senior, did you have an ulterior motive for that fight?"

Nangong Hen narrowed his eyes and sneered:
"It's nothing more than going with the flow. Since I've had a great time fighting, I don't mind making others unhappy."

In fact, it was reasonable for Qiantang Jun to come here. However, when the matter of Red Tribulation Demon Jun came to know, the people of Qingcheng Sword Sect looked at them with some strange eyes.

Because according to rumors, Qiantang Jun had contact with the Demon Jun and even cooperated with him.

Even if this old dragon has not been refined into a follower, there is no guarantee that there are no contaminants such as demon seeds, demonic thoughts, and demonic consciousness on his body.

However, this fight with Nangong Hen just gave Qiantang Jun an excuse to stay here.

After all, the matter of the Demon Sect has not been confirmed yet. Even the Qingcheng Sword Sect must take into account the opinions of the Sea Realm and cannot rashly expel Qiantang Jun.

What's more, Qiantang Jun was originally injured by the Qingcheng Sword Sect's... bear. It is neither moral nor reasonable for the Qingcheng Sword Sect to refuse him from recuperating here.

However, these days, there have been a number of people with ulterior motives who have been secretly fanning the flames and hyping up the Red Tribulation Demon Lord's magical powers that originated from his own transformation method.

The request of this group of disciples and elders was very simple, that is, they wanted the sect leader to come forward and use the supreme swordsmanship to verify whether Qiantang Jun had been infected by the devil.

It's just that the Sword Immortal Grandmaster had other important matters to attend to and was unable to come out, which led to the current embarrassing situation.

After all, Li Xiuru was only a child of twelve or thirteen years old. Faced with such a chaotic situation, he could only sigh deeply:
"I hope Mr. Xu can come soon."

Although Li Xiuru had not spent a long time with Xu Xing, he had a deep understanding of the magical qualities of Mr. Xu and had an inexplicable confidence in him.

It seems that as long as this person appears, no matter how big the difficulties are, they can be solved easily.

Although Nangong Hen had never seen Xu Xing, he was very familiar with the Qingcheng Sword Sect. He also had a different opinion on this and shook his head:
"Even if your Mr. Xu is not a member of the Demon Sect, he has practiced the Demon Sect's great magic. If he comes, I'm afraid he will be even more confused."

Nangong Hen said this, then changed the subject and said:

"But I am very curious about this person."

Nangong Hen had heard the name Xu Xing from Qiantang Jun when he was fighting with him. He knew that this man was not only well versed in Taoism, Buddhism, and magic, but also had an extremely strong physique and was extremely proficient in combat.

With Nangong Hen's personality, it would be difficult for him to suppress his desire to fight when he heard about such a person.

As the man and the bear were talking, suddenly a slender sword light broke through the sky, pierced through the dense forest, and fell into Li Xiuru's hands. It was a small jade sword.

Li Xiuru's expression changed immediately after seeing this:
"Oh no! Mr. Xu is regarded as a demon in Jinshan Temple. What should we do, senior?!"

When Nangong Hen heard the words "being regarded as a demon", he could not help but feel a pause in his heart. He was silent for a moment and just said:

"Show it to me."

It's not unfair for a person who practices the magic skills and has mastered the three meridians to be regarded as a demon...

Although Nangong Hen was prepared, he was still shocked when he took the flying sword:
"Even the Kanglong Palace's Shi Gan Dang and the three masters of the Jinshan Temple joined forces, but they still couldn't take this guy down?!"

Although Nangong Hen knew that Xu Xing was extremely proficient in the magical power of the void, this record was really too exaggerated.

However, when he thought about it carefully for a while, he discovered a subtle discordance between them.

According to Li Xiuru and the others, this "Red Tribulation Demon Lord" already possesses the magical powers of Buddhism and is also proficient in the magical powers of the void. Even if he was discovered, it wouldn't have gotten to this extent, right?

Moreover, judging from the meaning of this intelligence, it seems that he did not fight back after being discovered, but took the initiative to attack Jinshan Temple?

Realizing this, Nangong Hen's eyes lit up with a guess - could it be that this person had really convinced Fahai to join forces with the monk to set up a trap? !
In fact, few people know that Nangong Hen used to hide his identity. When he was studying in Central Plains, he was once known as "the wisest man in Central Plains" and "the most elegant man", which shows how smart this man is.

Thinking of this, Nangong Hen suddenly said:
"Kid, let's go to Huiyan Peak now. Once this happens, I think it will be hard to hold back if we have to take action."

Qiantang Jun and others were already under suspicion because of the matter of the Red Robbery Demon Lord. Now that the Demon Lord has caused such a big fuss, it would be incredibly stupid for those people not to take advantage of the situation.

Li Xiuru also thought of this. His face tensed and he nodded heavily. Nangong Hen then grabbed his body and flew towards Huiyan Peak.

Just as Nangong Hen had expected, just a short while after the two of them flew out, they saw streaks of sword light cutting through the sky and flying towards Huiyan Peak.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see as many as thirty or forty brilliant sword lights rising from the thirty-six peaks, eight large caves and seventy-two small caves of Qingcheng Mountain and gathering towards Huiyan Peak.

Each of these sword lights came from a sword cultivator who had at least condensed his natal sword embryo. Among them, there were ten peak masters at the level of True Person. Their sword energy was overwhelming and their sword intent was so overwhelming that it was enough to scare people away.

Although the Qingcheng Sword Sect is known to have thirty-six peaks, only real sword cultivators are qualified to occupy one peak. However, after several major battles, many real sword cultivators in the sect have been killed. Now, among the thirty-six peaks, only twenty-four have masters.

But now, nearly half of them have come this time.

But even if all these sword lights were added together, in terms of momentum and presence, they could not be compared with the long bright white rainbow in the center.

This long sword energy is brilliant and glorious, as bright as the sun and the moon, full of righteousness and splendidness. Anyone who sees it will sincerely feel ashamed of themselves.

Any disciple of the Sword Sect, or even 99% of the cultivators in the world, would know whose sword it was and what kind of sword it was just by seeing such a sword light.

It was the "Zongjing" sword that made Pei Zhengsheng famous.

As the sect master's disciple, Pei Zhengsheng is well versed in the art of imparting knowledge. He is highly respected within the Qingcheng Sword Sect and his appeal is unparalleled.

Only he could mobilize so many sword cultivators when the sect leader was in seclusion.

There were also two real peak masters in the distance. They saw Nangong Hen's escape light from afar and rushed over here, shouting:
"Please retreat for now, Lord God!"

Seeing the two sword lights from afar, Nangong Hen did not retreat or give in, but rushed forward, with a scorching light emitting from his eyes, and laughed loudly:
"Hahahahahaha, exciting, exciting!"

On the Huiyan Peak, a burly man with a curly beard wearing a straw raincoat was standing with his head held high, looking up at Pei Zhengsheng, whose body and sword were as bright as the sun, and he said loudly:
"Uncle Pei, what are you doing?!"

This person is none other than Yan Chixia, the leader of Huiyan Peak and the direct disciple of Chicheng Swordsman Li Yunxian.

In order to completely quell the calamity in Fengdu, the master of Huiyan Peak devoted himself to studying the Buddhist and Taoist methods of exorcising demons and eliminating evil. However, this caused his sword embryo to lose its purity and his foundation of Taoism to be damaged. He has been practicing in seclusion in Huiyan Peak ever since then.

In fact, for many younger disciples, it was the first time that they saw this person’s true appearance with their own eyes.

Yan Chixia did not expect that the Lord of Yunya Peak, who had never expressed his opinion and lived in seclusion since Qiantang Jun entered Qingcheng Mountain, would arrange such a lineup at once.

The overwhelming sword light has enveloped the entire Huiyan Peak. A cold aura descends from the sky. As long as the people on Huiyan Peak make the slightest movement, they will be struck by thunder.

Such an attitude further demonstrates Pei Zhengsheng's determination.

It was obvious that this time he wanted to achieve his goal in one fell swoop and capture Qiantang Jun directly.

Pei Zhengsheng raised the whisk in his hand and said in a deep voice:
"Junior Brother Yan, the Red Tribulation Demon Lord has already attacked Jinshan Temple and escaped unscathed. To protect the Sword Sect and for the sake of justice in the world, I must take this Qiantang Lord away today.

Since Senior Brother is not showing up, I will do this. If Dragon Palace asks about it in the future, I will be solely responsible!"

After hearing these words, the sword cultivators on Pei Zhengsheng's side looked even more determined.

The reason why they did not take action against Qiantang Jun before was, firstly, they were concerned about the Dragon Palace's opinion, and secondly, because the situation was not urgent enough, so they could wait until the headmaster came out of seclusion before verifying it.

But now, the Red Tribulation Demon Lord has actually attacked Jinshan Temple, which might be a signal of another full-scale conflict. At this time, they certainly cannot leave Qiantang Lord in the mountains.

Moreover, Pei Zhengsheng has already taken the initiative to say that he will take full responsibility, so the sword practitioners don't have to worry about anything.

Upon hearing this, Qian Tangjun raised his head and looked down upon the sword cultivators, and sneered:
"Nonsense."

Pei Zhengsheng didn't even look at him, but just stared at Yan Chixia, his tone gradually became colder and more serious, and he repeated again:

"Nephew, get out of the way."

Yan Chixia looked at the extremely bright and scorching figure, as if he could not bear such a strong light. He narrowed his eyes and sighed softly.

"Uncle Master, you should know exactly what Master is doing, so how can you say 'not showing up' instead of 'cannot show up'?!

How could you become so...sanctimonious now?!"

In fact, when Li Xiuru returned to the peak and reported to him about Yu Qinglin's matter, Yan Chixia was still a little bit unbelieving, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to believe it.

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhengsheng simply closed his eyes, looked up at the sky, and slowly shook his head. A look of regret emerged between his brows, and there was even some grief in his tone.

"Nephew, the injuries you suffered in the past have damaged your foundation. I'm afraid you've been taken advantage of by the devil. I'll help you get rid of the devilish thoughts and eliminate the evil consciousness in your heart."

After hearing these words, many sword cultivators showed deep agreement in their eyes. From their point of view, they really didn't understand why Yan Chixia would protect such a dragon species that had ties to the Demon Sect.

What's more, didn't Master Pei Feng say that it would just be suppressed first? Why did it have to come to this point?
Could it be that you, Yan Chixia, have really been infected by the devil? !

On Huiyan Peak, Ao Zhengrong and Ao Qingqi's faces couldn't help but become solemn, and their heartstrings were so tense that they were about to break.

——After all, the ones who are hostile to them now are not just others, but most of the Qingcheng Sword Sect!
The Qingcheng sword cultivators' reputation for being good fighters is known to the world.

Even if they were confident in Qiantang Jun, with the addition of Yan Chixia, it would be difficult for them to create such a formation.

Behind the two men, there was a young man wearing a Confucian scarf and dressed like a scholar. Although his face looked normal, he was having an extremely fierce struggle in his heart.

——If a fight really breaks out, should I reveal my identity? !

Ning Caichen knew very well that if he really used all his strength, the Hui Yanfeng lineage would never be able to clear their grievances.

But if you don't try your best, you will undoubtedly pin your hopes on the other uncles who may appear, or even the master himself.

It is not Ning Caichen's character to leave life and death to others.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears. It was Yan Chixia's voice transmission, and the content was very simple:
"I will cover you and take Xiu Ru away."

After hearing this voice, the conflicts in Ning Caichen's heart immediately disappeared, and his sword heart became clear again.

He nodded, having made his decision.

No matter what, no matter the cost, I must protect my junior brother and let him leave.

Just then, a loud laugh sounded from deep in the distance.

"It confuses people, dreams are longing for dreams, people are not human, and demons are not demons. It's interesting, really interesting!"

As he finished speaking, he saw that at the top of Huiyan Peak, wrinkles suddenly appeared in the air, like ripples on water, spreading out layer by layer, and all the scenery in between became blurred.

——Void magical power?
Pei Zhengsheng frowned and said coldly:
"You evil heretic dare to show off your skills?!" (End of this chapter)
