There are no ancestors at all; I made them all up.

Chapter 328 Suppressing Buddha on the Left, Capturing Demon on the Right

"Who is this person? Such an imposing aura!"

"It's...it's Chen Qing! It's the head of Mingxia Mountain!" Someone recognized him and screamed, their voice distorted with extreme fear.

"How can it be?!"

Before everyone could recover, Chen Qing suddenly turned his gaze to the two golden core Buddhist lights that had already escaped a hundred feet away, and flicked his sleeve.

"Boom!"

Mingjing and Jinxu were violently shaken, and then their bodies exploded with Buddhist light, sending them flying back at an even faster speed. They crashed to the ground in a disheveled state, stirring up a cloud of dust!
"Two Golden Core cultivators, and they were defeated just like that?"

The crowd's shock reached a new level!

"Those cowards hiding their heads and tails, get out here!"

Then, Chen Qing landed on the ground with a single step!
"Boom!"

The entire Mingxia Mountain Range trembled violently!

Visible shockwaves spread outwards from him!
"what!"

"not good!"

In an instant, whether it was the monks in the forest hollow or the pryers in the crevices of rocks and the canopies further away, they were all forced out of their hiding places by this terrifying shock force, like ants being doused with boiling water. Their figures staggered and had nowhere to hide!

"Horrible! So terrible!"

"Is this the strength of the Nanbin Alliance Leader?!"

"Is this the cultivation level that a cultivator from Nanbin could possibly possess?"

Chen Qing gave these people no chance to react or beg for mercy. Behind him, Buddhist light surged, and the half-bright, half-dark phantom of the Enlightened Dharma Image flashed!
"town!"

With a single, simple word, a torrent of spiritual energy flows forth!
Countless condensed sword energies, palm prints, and mountain phantoms, like a storm, manifested from all directions in the sky, covering all the cultivators who were forced to reveal themselves, regardless of their cultivation level!

"My magic weapon!"

"Block!"

"disease!"

Instantly, cries of alarm, the sound of magical artifacts shattering, and the sound of protective energy being torn apart filled the air!
No matter how many flying swords you summon, talismans you activate, or secret techniques you employ, they are all utterly useless!
Sword light shattered! Talismans vanished! Spells were destroyed!
In the blink of an eye, all the infiltrators, including more than ten monks, fell like dumplings, their bones shattering, their blood churning, collapsing to the ground, their eyes filled with fear and bewilderment.

Chen Qing moved with lightning speed, arriving in front of Mingjing and Jinxu, who were struggling to get up, in an instant.

The Golden-Bearded Monk roared, his body glowing with a dark golden light, and he threw a punch with the power of a dragon and an elephant; the Mirror-Mirror Monk chanted mantras, and his prayer beads shone with a clear light, transforming into a halo to protect his body.

Chen Qing extended his left and right hands simultaneously, instantly piercing through the protective Buddhist light and supernatural powers.

One hand gripped the powerful fist of the Golden-Bearded Monk. With a slight exertion, a cracking sound of bones breaking was heard, and the Golden-Bearded Monk let out a miserable howl as his energy dissipated.

With his other hand, ignoring the radiant halo, he grabbed the monk Mingjing by the neck and lifted him high, causing the rosary beads to scatter on the ground with a "crackling" sound.

"This...this is a Golden Core!"

The others stared wide-eyed at the sight of the two monks, who were utterly powerless against them, as if they were children.
Chen Qing's gaze swept across the crowd, and everyone fell silent.

So, carrying two ashen-faced Golden Elixir monks, he swayed and passed through the protective maze of Mingxia Mountain, arriving at the main peak.

Only after his figure completely disappeared did the terrifying pressure that permeated the world slowly dissipate.

Inside the mountain gate, Bai Shaoyou, Fang Da'ao, and all the disciples of Mingxia Mountain were dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

Qu Xiaoyao immediately understood: "So this was Martial Uncle's arrangement. It was indeed foolproof!"

"This...this is truly breathtaking!"

On the other side, several flying boats arrived just in time, their bows fluttering with banners. These were the reinforcements that Bai Qichen had personally led after receiving the message from the Bai family.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Bai Qichen witnessed the scene just now and was filled with emotion and excitement! He wanted to go down immediately to pay his respects and show his support.

Then, his youngest brother, Bai Shaoyou, was directing his disciples to orderly tidy up the situation, while many thoughts raced through his mind.

"Sect Leader Chen has already returned to the mountain and has swiftly eliminated the villains. Although our Bai family has come to offer assistance, we are a step too late."

He suppressed the impulse. "Too much of a good thing is bad. Sect Leader Chen is incredibly powerful and his ambitions are surely lofty! The Bai family's relationship with him should be natural and long-term. Shaoyou is already his personal disciple, which is the best bond. Sect Leader Chen has just finished a battle and must have important matters to attend to. If I rush over to him, it will seem deliberate and put me at a disadvantage. It would be better to use this favor to help Shaoyou establish himself in the sect. That is the way to go in the long run."

Upon realizing this, he immediately summoned a trusted confidant and instructed, "Leave two teams of men to await Shao You's orders and assist in handling the aftermath. The rest of you, return with me."

Then, he took out a visiting card, flicked it with his finger, and the card turned into a stream of light, falling into the hands of the disciple on duty in the mountain.

"Forwarded to Sect Leader Chen, Bai Qichen of the Bai family respectfully greets you. He must be very busy since his return, so I dare not disturb him. I will prepare a small gift and visit him another day."

The sound was clear and resonant, carrying throughout the mountains and fields.

Having done all this, Bai Qichen didn't hesitate, steered the flying boat, changed direction, and left gracefully.

Inside the mountain gate, Chen Qing heard these words and smiled without saying a word!
Crack!

Suddenly, a spark of light leaped out, and the signs of his Nascent Soul breakthrough became even more intense. Spiritual energy surged around him like a tide. Sensing something, he dispersed this surging spiritual energy, which transformed into a sky full of brilliant light, sealing the cultivation of all the people he had just captured on the mountain.

"Master, what should we do with these people?" Bai Shaoyou walked over, looking at the lurking infiltrators lying limp on the ground, and asked for instructions.

Chen Qingjiu said, "It's up to you to handle."

Bai Shaoyou's spirits lifted, and he bowed, saying, "This disciple understands! I will definitely choose the most advantageous course of action for Mingxia Mountain!"

"Go ahead and do it." Chen Qing left these words behind, then took the two monks, Mingjing and Jinxu, and went straight into the back mountain, where he sealed them up tightly in a stone cave.

After doing all this, he suddenly felt something, and then he looked up, his gaze piercing through the void, reaching a desolate mountain a hundred miles away!
"He found me!"

In the shadows of the desolate mountains, a red-haired man trembled violently. He hurriedly suppressed his demonic energy, formed hand seals, and fled madly toward the South China Sea.

"This person is terrifying! His cultivation level is too high! The intelligence from all sides is seriously flawed. We must report back immediately and discuss this further!"

The red-haired man sped along and soon arrived at the hidden cave on the coast of the South China Sea.

Two people were already waiting inside the cave; both were cultivators with a cold aura and profound demonic energy.

"Blood Eye, how is the situation?" someone asked immediately upon seeing him return in a panic.

The red-haired man, still shaken, whispered, "The plan has changed! Chen Qing's strength far exceeds our expectations, and his spiritual sense is terrifying. I was hiding a hundred miles away, yet he saw right through me!"

Upon hearing this, another gaunt-faced old man said in a deep voice, "Is this true? But..."

Before he could finish speaking, the expressions of the three men suddenly changed!
"As far as I know, you were entrusted by the Western Wilderness Buddhist sect to plan with Hanyue Temple. But Hanyue Temple no longer exists. Why do you, these cowards, still insist on making things difficult for me?"

The next moment, Chen Qing walked in, his powerful Daoist aura, about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, caused the surrounding spiritual energy to tremble.

"Chen Qing!"

Upon recognizing the newcomer and sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from him, the three were terrified and instinctively tried to attack or flee.

But Chen Qing simply raised his hand and pressed down.

"Om-"

The chaotic Buddhist light spread out, instantly suppressing the demonic energy of the three people and pressing their bodies to the ground. For a moment, they could not even move a finger!

"What... what kind of cultivation level is this?! Wasn't this person said to be at the peak of the Golden Core stage? Even a Golden Core cultivator shouldn't have this kind of aura!"

The two of them had no more doubts at this point!
Blood Eyes turned deathly pale and hurriedly said, "Sect Leader Chen, please calm down! We...we meant no harm, we were just ordered to investigate here..."

"No malicious intent?" Chen Qing chuckled. "To fan the flames and incite the crowd to surround my mountain gate, is that what you call no malicious intent? Fine, whether it is or not, come back with me and we'll find out."

With a flick of his sleeve, a bolt of Buddhist light transformed into ropes, binding the three people tightly. Then, as if carrying three chickens and ducks awaiting slaughter, he stepped out and entered the revolving door.

Upon returning to the forbidden area behind Mingxia Mountain, Chen Qing threw the three newly captured demonic cultivators next to the stone cave where the monks Mingjing and Jinxu were imprisoned. Then, looking at the monks with dim Buddhist light on one side and the demonic cultivators with suppressed demonic energy on the other, he suddenly thought of something.

"Speaking of which, you are Buddha on one side and demon on the other, you should be sworn enemies, but now you have joined forces to plot against me, Chen... That's quite interesting. What is the reason behind this?"

As he spoke, his gaze swept between the two of them, then suddenly stopped, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Demon...Buddha...Demon Buddha? Could it be..."

A thought suddenly popped into his mind.

But then, the nascent soul energy within his body finally erupted!
