In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Aside from Zhang Xiaoshan, the head of the Royal Trading Company, there are eight managers at its headquarters, each responsible for market research, logistics allocation, performance evaluation, and handling various issues according to their respective duties.

Unless it involves a major issue, Zhang Xiaoshan will not personally get involved.

Similarly, under each of the nine main managers, there are three assistants and ten apprentice managers to assist them.

The assistants were transferred from outside, the apprentices were selected from the business academy of the city, and there were also thirty elite personnel...

The entire Tianji Tower accommodates thousands of people and operates in an orderly manner, like a giant machine.

The top floor of Tianji Building is Zhang Xiaoshan's office area.

They deal with reports of demonic possession, cases involving murder, and unusual phenomena in certain regions...

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoshan looked outside and saw a streak of light rushing towards him.

As the sword energy pierced the air, Zhang Xiaoshan knew that the newcomer was at least a Nascent Soul cultivator, and he was only slightly surprised.

"Ding Yin of the South China Sea Sword Sect has come to pay a visit to Fellow Daoist Chunyangzi!"

"Ding Yin?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes widened in surprise, because he knew who Ding Yin was.

Moreover, the primordial spirit flame beside Ding Yin was in grave danger, likely severely injured, and could perish at any moment.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xiaoshan stepped into the Heavenly Mystery Tower and stood in mid-air.

"This humble Daoist Chunyangzi greets Senior Ding!"

Zhang Xiaoshan is a junior, and according to seniority, Ding Yin is at least of the same generation as the Palace Master of Yaochi Palace.

Therefore, even if Zhang Xiaoshan didn't take Ding Yin seriously, he still had to show proper courtesy, unless Ding Yin acted unreasonably first.

“Fellow Daoist Chunyang, you are too kind. This is Zen Master Xiaoru from Emei, and this young monk is Yizhen.”

"The Pure Yang Venerable!"

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's name, the young monk immediately bowed.

After all, in the mortal world, who wouldn't know the name of Zhang Xiaoshan, the direct descendant of the Kunlun Daoist sect, and now a top-level cultivator who is the mainstay of the righteous path?

"Is this demonic energy possessing Zen Master Xiaoru?"

"During this period, the demonic path was unusually quiet, so Ding Yin and Zen Master Xiaoru went deep into the Shu Mountains to investigate the matter."

Unexpectedly, the Blood Demon was unleashed. During the battle, Zen Master Xiaoru was unfortunately possessed by the Blood Demon and pleads for help from fellow Daoists.

The Jade Pool Celestial Palace possesses the energy of Yin, which overcomes evil with righteousness.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan's Pure Yang Dao is more domineering and has a stronger restraint on evil spirits.

In addition, Zhang Xiaoshan was able to kill the Black Mountain Demon and the Hundred-Foot Centipede, so his strength was unfathomable. This was also the reason why Ding Yin came to ask Zhang Xiaoshan for help.

“I see. Senior, please follow me.”

As expected, Zhang Xiaoshan realized that he had helped the Palace Master of Yaochi Palace avert a calamity.

This was also the original purpose of the Taoist Master Xuanxu.

Otherwise, how could a top genius with a naturally pure Yang Dao body have joined the Jade Pool Immortal Palace from the very beginning?

On the top floor of Tianji Tower, in the center of the hall, is a Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

Seemingly for decorative purposes, this Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram actually possesses the power to trap and imprison demons. Once activated, even a thousand-year-old demon will not be able to escape.

"The senior placed Zen Master Xiaoru at the center of the Tai Chi symbol, and I performed an exorcism for Zen Master Xiaoru."

"it is good!"

Looking at the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, Ding Yin immediately realized the trickery involved; the materials used were all extraordinary.

The two younger disciples on the side looked at Zen Master Xiaoru with concern, wondering if Zhang Xiaoshan could help her recover completely.

go with!

After Zen Master Xiaoru sat down (Qian Nuo's), Zhang Xiaoshan directly summoned the Xuanhuang Chunyang Cauldron.

The small cauldron expanded to over three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in size, its massive and heavy weight suggesting it weighed over ten thousand tons. After all, it was a genuine golden cauldron; the consequences of it falling were unimaginable.

But at this moment, Ding Yin looked shocked and looked at Xuanhuang Chunyang Dingxian in disbelief.

Under the shimmering golden light, various ancient mythical beasts and divine patterns of the heavens are engraved on the cauldron, their evolution like the infinite truths of the universe, drawing people in unconsciously.

Moreover, the pure Yang energy above radiated a vast light, enveloping the entire Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

Suddenly, the previously calm Zen Master Xiaoru began to wail and scream in agony.

"Master!" "Grandmaster!"

"Don't go over there. This is pure Yang energy, which is the most righteous and effective against evil spirits."

If you go there, the Blood Demon can use your bodies to escape.

The ferocity of Zen Master Xiaoru at this moment is the struggle of the lingering will of the Blood Demon. You must not harm the Master.

Chapter 977 A Drop of Demonic Blood? A Six-Turn Spirit Pill

"Yes, senior!"

Upon hearing this, the two realized that this was a crucial moment for Zen Master Xiaoru.

Once you survive, you can expel the Blood Demon from your body.

Moreover, the magnificent and awe-inspiring golden light of the sun showed that the young man in front of them, who was about the same age as them, was definitely a reclusive master, and not someone who was just pretending to be someone else!

No wonder even Ding Yin treated him with such respect and courtesy.

Soon, the Blood Demon, struggling and tormented, could no longer withstand the burning of the pure Yang energy and burst out of its body as a streak of blood light, trying to escape from this place.

But under the pure yang golden light, the entire Yin-Yang Bagua diagram resembled a cage. The Blood Demon crashed into the edge of the Bagua diagram like a bull ramming into a thick city wall, and was directly bounced back, unable to break through the golden light's defensive shield.

In an instant, like a caged bird, it thrashed about, looking utterly pitiful.

At the same time, Ding Yin, who had been on guard upon seeing the blood, was relieved of his initial worries.

If the Blood Demon escapes, it will be very difficult to catch him.

They become even more difficult to deal with after they possess someone.

Receive!

With a suction force from the golden cauldron, the blood-red light, along with the pure yang magic power, was drawn into the cauldron.

Moreover, throughout the entire process, Xue Guang showed no signs of struggling whatsoever.

It wasn't that the Blood Demon didn't want to struggle, but rather that it was utterly powerless to resist in front of the Golden Cauldron, completely subdued.

Even Ding Yin couldn't help but marvel at the methods of the orthodox Xuanmen sect.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan took the palm-sized golden cauldron, which contained a drop of blood, which was the blood demon in disguise.

"Fellow Daoist's superb abilities are truly admirable!"

Seeing that Zen Master Xiaoru's complexion had returned to normal and her breathing was steady, the young monk quickly bowed and thanked her:

"I am deeply grateful to the Venerable One for saving my master's life."

Zhang Xiaoshan waved his hand, interrupting the young monk's grand salute, and chuckled:

"As fellow disciples of the righteous path, we should support each other. Chunyangzi is merely doing his bit."

With that, Zhang Xiaoshan placed the Pure Yang Cauldron in front of Ding Yin and solemnly said:

"Senior, this is the Blood Demon's Divine Thought, merely an avatar condensed from a drop of the Blood Demon's essence blood."

"I fear that if the Blood Demon's true form were to emerge, the entire Divine Continent would face an unprecedented catastrophe, one that is not seen for ten thousand years. I wonder if you, senior, have any countermeasures?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the drop of blood inside the golden cauldron and were utterly horrified.

Unexpectedly, the Blood Demon, which was so terrifying that even Zen Master Xiaoru had fallen, was actually just a drop of the Blood Demon's essence. Just how terrifying must the Blood Demon's true form be?

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I have already made an appointment with Changmei to go to the Xuan Yin Demon Extreme Land to find Li Yiqi."

With the Emei Sect's most treasured Purple and Green Twin Swords, they faced the Blood Demon who had been unleashed.

"The Purple and Green Twin Swords?"

The combined power of the two swords is enough to defeat the Blood Demon. However, combining the two swords is no simple matter.

Even among the successive masters of the Purple and Green Swords of the Emei Sect, none could truly combine the two swords into one; a moment's carelessness would result in the sword's destruction and the sword's demise.

Ah!

Upon hearing this, the young monk Yizhen and the other youth immediately showed expressions of shock and worry, never expecting that the danger of combining the Purple and Green Swords would be so great.

Ding Yin's expression also changed; he was unaware of this news.

Moreover, he did not doubt Zhang Xiaoshan's words. After all, Zhang Xiaoshan was a direct descendant of the Kunlun Daoist sect, and with his status and position, he would not stoop to lying.

"But senior need not worry, for troubled times produce heroes."

With the Blood Demon's emergence, Heaven must have a way to restrain it. Perhaps the Purple and Green Sword Master of the Emei Sword Sect can truly accomplish what no one before him could.

"Fellow Daoist is absolutely right; there's always a way out when you reach the mountain."

Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good. If the Blood Demon seeks to wreak havoc on the land, someone will inevitably appear to restrain it.

Ding Yin's expression returned to normal; he knew now was not the time to be discouraged.

Moreover, even if the Purple and Green Sword Master is no match, there is still a top-tier Pure Yang cultivator here. The domineering methods of that golden cauldron can definitely restrain the Blood Demon.

"Ichima, where is this?"

"Master, you're finally awake. Where is this... Senior? Where is this place?"

At this moment, Zen Master Xiaoru, who was lost in her reverie, woke up and looked around in confusion.

Ding Yin shook his head helplessly. He had arrived too quickly and hadn't been able to explain on the way, nor would he have been able to.

"Monk, this is the mechanical city of the Ba River Dam. It was here that Fellow Daoist Chunyang removed the Blood Demon from your body and saved your life!"

As Zen Master Xiaoru rose to her feet, she looked at the young man before her with a startled expression and quickly bowed, saying:

"Amitabha, it's Fellow Daoist Chunyang. Xiaoru greets you."

Taoist Pure Yang, direct descendant of Kunlun!

Zhang Xiaoshan's achievements, which surpassed those of others, are not only remarkable, but he also inherited the true teachings of Kunlun and Shushan.

After all, Zhang Xiaoshan's Myriad Swords Technique was no secret in the entire cultivation world, and the domineering power of his sword light was so great that even gods and demons avoided it.

"You're too kind, Master."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan took out a cold jade elixir bottle and handed it to Zen Master Xiaoru, saying:

"This is my Kunlun Six-Turn Spirit Pill. Master's vital energy is severely depleted at this time. Taking this pill can restore your vital energy in a short period of time."

Six-Turn Elixir?

The Kunlun Taoist sect possesses the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, but the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is an immortal elixir, rumored to grant direct ascension upon consumption.

Other high-grade elixirs are also rare treasures that are hard to come by in the cultivation world.

In the cultivation world, a six-stage elixir like this is equivalent to a life.

After all, when experts of the same level clash, and both sides are severely depleted, if one of them takes a elixir and recovers to their peak condition in a short time at a speed visible to the naked eye, the despair of the opponent is unimaginable.

"Amitabha Buddha, this minor injury will be fully recovered in about half a month."

"The Six-Turn Elixir is a priceless treasure in the cultivation world. How could this humble monk dare to waste such a precious medicine? Fellow Daoist, please take it back."

"Haha, Master, you can have it."

Although this sixth-grade elixir is precious, I have eliminated many thousand-year-old demons over the years. Using a thousand-year-old inner core as medicine, this sixth-grade elixir is merely the lowest-grade healing medicine; I have many of those on me. Besides, I usually finish off demons with a single sword strike, so I have no need for it.”

"Amitabha!"

Even Ding Yin was filled with envy at what it meant to be rich and powerful.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan's record over the years includes slaughtering dozens, if not dozens, of ancient demons.

With the addition of the Nine Revolutions technique of Kunlun alchemy, these pills refined from inner alchemy are absolutely treasures of the cultivation world; different people, different fates indeed.

"This humble monk will respectfully comply. Thank you, fellow Daoist."
