This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 160 Zhong Bai's Fury, Flying Sword into Western Hunan
At this moment, Lin Junmen was not in the Talisman Hall, but had come to the Law Enforcement Hall to catch up and chat with True Person Qian Yuan.

When Huang Zhen arrived in a great hurry, he saw that Lin Junmen and Qian Yuan Zhenren were both looking at him with strange eyes.

"Junior Brother Huang, what has happened?"

Lin Junmen stopped his conversation with Qian Yuan Zhenren and looked at Huang Zhen. Clearly, Lin Junmen felt that even if something happened, it wouldn't be a big deal.

However, as soon as Huang Zhen spoke, Lin Junmen's expression changed drastically.

"Senior Brother, something terrible has happened!"
Something happened in Renjia Town. My junior brother just received a summons from his fellow disciples regarding Zhe Gu. A man in black robes arrived in Renjia Town, injured and captured his junior sister Feng Jiao, and took her away. Zhe Gu was also seriously injured.

Upon hearing this, Lin Junmen was immediately in an uproar. Ignoring the presence of Master Qianyuan, he stood up abruptly, staring intently at Huang Zhen, clearly still in disbelief!

"Who dares to be so audacious!"

Lin Junmen's anger was hard to contain. He stormed off without saying a word, and without even saying goodbye to Qian Yuan Zhenren, he hurriedly left the Law Enforcement Hall and Elder Huang Zhen, heading straight for Renjia Town.

Renjia Town was like a den of Maoshan disciples, with one after another rushing towards it. Among them, the closest were Simu Tulong, Mao Xiaofang from Jiuquan Town, and Hua Ling from Ping'an County.

Among them, Mao Xiaofang had the highest cultivation level. When Zhong Bai left Jiuquan Town and left Mao Xiaofang to guard it, Mao Xiaofang was already at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Over the years, Mao Xiaofang had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and was now a True Person at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage. However, since the three elders of Tongyou Hall were still young and capable, and since ordinary people could not suppress them in Jiuquan Town, Mao Xiaofang had been staying in Jiuquan Town.

As for Four Eyes and the Dragon-Slaying Taoist Priest...

Although Zhong Bai said they didn't need to rush over, Simu and Tulong Daoist wouldn't really dawdle for a few days. Almost as soon as Zhong Bai left, they headed straight for Renjia Town.

"Senior Sister Zhegu, although Senior Brother Qianhe has forced the toxins out of your body, you are still somewhat weak. This pill was made by your junior sister using precious medicinal herbs. It is very helpful for the recovery of your injuries. Please take it quickly."

At this moment, Hua Ling took out a bright green pill that emitted a fragrant aroma. Although Zhe Gu did not want to waste the pill, judging from Hua Ling's attitude, she would not give up until she took it.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Aunt Zhe swallowed the pill. The effects of the medicine quickly took hold, and Aunt Zhe's originally pale face began to regain some color.

"Junior Sister Hua Ling, Senior Brother Mao, Senior Brother Tu Long, Junior Brother Simu, thank you all!"

Aunt Zhe said this sincerely. It is said that true friendship is revealed in times of trouble. Her summons to her fellow disciples was issued in the middle of the night. How long has it been?
Several fellow disciples had already arrived, though they couldn't match Zhong Bai's speed, their friendship was evident.

At this moment, Mao Xiaofang stood up and said, "Junior Sister Zhegu, do you think it's a bit too much for Daozi to go to Miao territory alone... Miao territory has been occupied for thousands of years. Among us fellow disciples, it might be dangerous for you to go to Miao territory. Since Junior Sister Zhegu is out of danger, I will set off for Miao territory now to help Daozi!"

Although Mao Xiaofang knew that Zhong Bai was exceptionally talented over the years, he was not clear about Zhong Bai's specific strength. After all, the Miao region was not simple, and even Mao Xiaofang was not confident in breaking into it.

Even so, Zhong Bai was still alone, and Mao Xiaofang's worry was written all over his face.

However, as soon as he said this, Si Mu grabbed Mao Xiaofang's sleeve and said, "Ahem, Senior Brother Mao, don't be anxious. I know a little about Dao Zi's situation. As long as a Golden Core True Monarch doesn't appear, Dao Zi is invincible. Even if a Golden Core True Monarch does appear, Dao Zi has trump cards to deal with it. The situation is unclear. If you go there rashly, Senior Brother, you might drag Dao Zi down."

These words were somewhat hurtful, but Si Mu still had to say them, since he was telling the truth.

If even Zhong Bai can't solve the Miao region problem, then their going there would be pointless. Even Mao Xiaofang would just be a bigger cannon fodder.

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiaofang showed no displeasure but rather some surprise.

"Junior Brother Four Eyes, are you saying that Daozi is already close to the Golden Core True Monarch realm?"

Si Mu nodded and said, "That's right. My master said that if it weren't for the fact that Dao Zi's Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique is somewhat special and requires him to undergo a tribulation of thunder to break through to the Golden Core stage, Dao Zi would have been a Golden Core True Monarch long ago!"

These words finally put Mao Xiaofang's mind at ease. In that case, his rashly going there might really be useless and might even affect Zhong Bai.

Just then, two figures stepped out of the mortuary and swiftly entered the courtyard.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the people inside the room were immediately startled and quickly bowed in greeting.

"Disciple greets the two elders!"

The newcomers were none other than Lin Junmen and Huang Zhen, who had arrived in a hurry. The moment they saw the two, Lin Qing'er, who had been keeping her head down beside Zhe Gu, rushed towards Lin Junmen and hugged his leg, saying, "Qing'er greets Ancestor! Ancestor, have you come to save my father?"

Seeing Lin Qing'er like this, Lin Junmen's anger towards the black-robed old man intensified.

After gently picking up Lin Qing'er, he looked at everyone and said, "No need for formalities, please get up. Aunt Zhe, what exactly happened?"

Upon hearing Lin Junmen's question, Aunt Zhe naturally dared not conceal anything and recounted the events of the previous night. Lin Junmen and Huang Zhen were furious upon hearing this; how dare they have come to the mortuary!

"So, Daozi went to the Miao Gu Clan in Xiangxi last night?" Lin Junmen breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Zhong Bai knew about this and had already gone to the Miao Gu Clan. Zhong Bai's flying speed on his sword was much faster than theirs. Since Zhong Bai had already gone to the Miao Gu Clan, the probability of Lin Fengjiao returning alive had greatly increased.

"Reporting to my master, that's right, Daozi flew to Miao territory on his sword last night!"

After exchanging glances, Lin Junmen and Huang Zhen exchanged a few words and then headed towards Miao territory with Mao Xiaofang, the only Foundation Establishment disciple present.

......................................................

Within the Gu tribe of Miao territory.

Although Zhong Bai traveled at a fast speed on his sword, Miao Tianci, the high priest of the Miao Gu tribe, had left several hours earlier. Even though Zhong Bai hurried as fast as he could, he was unable to intercept him halfway and could only head straight for the heart of Miao territory.

In the same attic, when Miao Tianci brought the unconscious Lin Fengjiao into the attic, the priests who had been keeping their eyes slightly closed immediately opened their eyes and looked at Miao Tianci.

"Hmph! Miao Tianci, I didn't expect you to be so fast. But this cultivator in front of me, with his Qi Refining Ninth Level Perfection, is quite impressive. No wonder he was able to kill that bitch Wang Po!"

Second Priest Miao Yun continued to speak without holding back, which angered Miao Tianci. However, now was not the time to settle scores with Miao Yun; he needed to establish his authority first.

A streak of light landed on Lin Fengjiao, who had been unconscious, and she immediately struggled to wake up.

The soreness in her body made Lin Fengjiao's eyes look somewhat conflicted and painful, but when she vaguely saw her surroundings, she immediately became clear-headed and cheered up.

"Where are you taking me, sir?"

Your Excellency, let me offer you another piece of advice. I am a disciple of Maoshan, and I am a disciple of Lin Junmen, the chief elder of the Maoshan Talisman Hall. Aren't you afraid that by bringing me here by force, you will bring undeserved disaster to your Miao Gu Clan?
Besides, I've already made myself very clear. That Granny Wang is a bandit leader who uses some evil magic to burn, kill, and plunder everywhere. Such an evil practitioner deserves to be killed by everyone!

Lin Fengjiao remained calm and composed, while the other priests' expressions changed upon hearing this.

The second priest stood up and stared directly at the high priest, Miao Tianci, saying, "Miao Tianci, are you insane? This Taoist priest in front of you is actually a disciple of Maoshan! You!"

At this point, the second priest was almost laughing in anger.

"When you kidnapped this Maoshan disciple, did you ever consider that such an act would anger Maoshan? Maoshan's power is terrifying. By doing this, you are bringing disaster upon the Miao Gu Clan!"
Are you really going to completely offend Maoshan for the sake of a widowed old woman like Wang Po who deserved to die?!

The second priest found Miao Tianci somewhat unreasonable; after all, that was Maoshan!
The other priests almost simultaneously turned their gazes to High Priest Miao Tianci. Clearly, they all felt that what High Priest Miao Tianci had done was somewhat outrageous and reckless.

Seeing this, Miao Tianci's lips twitched slightly. He was in a dilemma. Didn't he know what Lin Fengjiao's identity meant? But Miao Tianci knew very well that if he let Lin Fengjiao go now, he, as the high priest, would have no authority whatsoever in the future.

Thinking this, Miao Tianci became somewhat uncertain, and his gaze towards Lin Fengjiao became complicated. However, at this moment, the Second Priest's speech once again made Miao Tianci make up his mind.

"Hmph, Miao Tianci, it's not that I look down on you, but you've heard of the Lin Jun Sect's name. Don't underestimate you just because you're all at the late Foundation Establishment stage. As the chief elder of the Maoshan Talisman Hall, the Lin Jun Sect can easily deal with you. Besides, Maoshan also has a Golden Core True Monarch in charge!"

"If you know what's good for you, then obediently heal Master Lin's injuries and send him back to Maoshan. If you apologize with a bundle of thorns on your back, Maoshan might spare your life. Otherwise, all your years of cultivation will have been for nothing!"

Upon hearing this, Miao Tianci completely lost his composure, his eyes turning bloodshot.

Miao Yun!
Are you looking down on me?
"Disciples of Maoshan...disciples of Maoshan! Today I'll see what it means to be a disciple of Maoshan! Those I want to kill, none will survive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Miao Tianci's late-stage Foundation Establishment realm erupted completely, and the terrifying aura made Miao Yun frown and say, "Miao Tianci, you've actually fallen into demonic possession!"

"Hahaha, Miao Yun, you're only just realizing this?"

As soon as Miao Tianci finished speaking, his aura surged to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage once again. He looked at Miao Yun and the other priests and said, "Now, I am going to slowly kill this Maoshan disciple in front of me, one cut at a time. Do you have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, Miao Yun's eyes were filled with complexity and solemnity.

He turned to the other three priests and said, "You three, quickly go and invite the clan leader out of seclusion. Tell him that Miao Tianci has fallen into demonic possession, and also take the clansmen away from the clan territory!"

The three priests exchanged a glance, nodded, and then left.

Upon seeing this, Miao Tianci was filled with rage.

"None of you are allowed to leave! You are the witnesses. Didn't you say that I wouldn't dare to do anything to these Maoshan disciples? I'll show you with your own eyes whether I dare or not!"

As he spoke, Miao Tianci pulled out a Miao knife and slashed Lin Fengjiao's arm. Instantly, blood flowed out...
