The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Upon seeing this, Xuan Fuzi quickly winked at the others, then bowed his hands with a serious expression and said:

"Thank you, Daoist Youying, for your help. If you hadn't helped me in time, I'm afraid I would have to go through a hard battle today and consume a lot of my lifespan."

"Regarding the remuneration, please rest assured, we will prepare it as soon as possible after we return, and we will definitely not let you down."

His tone was sincere as he expressed his gratitude to the owner of the Shadow Tower and promised to give him corresponding rewards.

……

Not long after, they came to a palace covered by layers of densely packed formations.

Four cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Realm sat opposite each other. They were originally talking very peacefully, but as time went on, they began to hear bursts of fierce arguments.

"I understand very well the concerns in Fellow Daoist Yinjizi's heart."

"But now, Daoist Youying helped us kill the blood demon, but He Lian'er has long been controlled by the blood demon. She is killing other cultivators everywhere and snatching their blood essence."

"Do we have to go to Daoist Friend Youying to question him just because of He Lian'er's one-sided statement?"

"You must know that Fellow Daoist Youying was specially invited by us to help repair the ascension platform!" Xuan Fuzi argued firmly.

When Gutuo and Mu Shoujing heard this, some of their worries disappeared.

However, the remaining person was not satisfied with this explanation.

"I understand all of this, but what if the magic was performed by the owner of the Shadow Tower himself? If this person is really a demon, how should we deal with him?"

"And when we left, the formation plate in He Lian'er's hand disappeared. It must have fallen into the hands of the owner of the Ghost Shadow Tower."

"Now that I don't have any means to check and balance the Lord of the Shadow Tower, how can I feel at ease?" The Ghost King Sect's Divine Transformation cultivator Ji Jizi retorted from the side, his voice tinged with a hint of anxiety.

When Yinjizi finished speaking, no one agreed.

Gu Tuo even advised: "Master Xu is right. Why does Brother Yinjizi need to dig into the matter? If it is a misunderstanding, it will only hurt the harmony."

Mu Shoujing also echoed, "Yes, and with the strange methods of the Shadow Tower Master, it was easy for him to kill the Blood Demon and He Lian'er. Why would he play these conspiracies with us?"

There was a hint of helplessness and emotion on his face.

Then, Mu Shoujing added: "If he had fought us directly, we might not be his match."

As soon as this statement was made, it immediately attracted the approval of Xuan Fuzi and Gutuo.

They all nodded, expressing their approval of Mu Shoujing's views.

However, only Yinjizi still had a gloomy face, as if he still disagreed with everyone's opinion.

The whole scene was plunged into a subtle atmosphere. The three people were in agreement, but Yinjizi's attitude was particularly eye-catching.

Seeing this, Yinjizi sighed inwardly. He was aware that his behavior just now was a bit inappropriate, but since things had come to this point, he could only pretend to be calm and said:

"Don't be suspicious, I did this out of good intentions. After all, with my current level of cultivation, I have always relied on my own efforts and have never relied on others."

"Since you fellow Taoists have so much trust in the Shadow Tower Master, then we will follow the arrangements of Taoist Master Xu. Now that things have come to this, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, Yin Jizi slowly stood up, turned around and left.

Before leaving, he deliberately left behind a precious spiritual object, which was exactly the reward agreed upon for the owner of the Shadow Tower before the dispute.

However, the moment he turned around, the expression on his face became extremely gloomy, as if the words he had just said were not from the heart.

It was obvious that he had many dissatisfactions and concerns about this negotiation.

Not long after, Yinjizi returned to his cave.

As soon as he entered the cave, he waved his long sleeves and set up a powerful ban to ensure that no one could spy on the situation here.

Then he walked towards the secret room.

The dark and damp secret room was filled with the smell of decay.

Yinjizi sat there quietly, his eyes flashing with a deep light, his brows furrowed, and he was lost in thought.

Of course he understood what the other three Divine Transformation cultivators were saying.

But at that time, the owner of the Shadow Tower used that ball of black mist to deal with He Lian'er and the Blood Demon.

The floodgates of his memory were completely opened and he suddenly realized.

What exactly is this black fog? Why is it so similar to the Ghost Banner? And why does the black robe worn by the owner of the Shadow Tower give him a familiar feeling?

At that moment, a thought flashed through my mind.

He remembered that he had seen this black robe in an ancient book in the sect's scripture library.

That ancient book recorded in detail a special soul weapon called the "Thousand Souls and Ten Thousand Ghosts Robe", and also mentioned that their sect's Yinhun Banner was created with inspiration from this ghost robe.

The description of the Ghost Robe magical power in the book fascinated him, but unfortunately, the method of refining it was not recorded.

This fact once made him feel very disappointed, but as time passed, the memory of this fact gradually faded.

Even when he first met the owner of Shadow Tower, he had never thought of this.

But today, the Lord of the Shadow Tower actually killed He Lian'er, who was at the same level as him, with ease, and even suppressed a blood demon!

Moreover, the methods used by the owner of the Ghost Shadow Tower were exactly the same as the Ghost Robe Magical Powers recorded in ancient books!

Under such a strong visual impact, he finally remembered this incident and also remembered the Robe of Thousand Souls and Ten Thousand Ghosts.

In an instant, greedy thoughts grew wildly in Jidongzi's heart, and he urgently wanted to take this treasure for himself.

Even if he could not obtain the Thousand Souls and Ten Thousand Ghosts Robe itself, he would find the method of refining the ghost robe from the owner of the Shadow Tower.

However, when he thought about his current strength and the brilliant performance of the Shadow Tower Master just now, he became unsure again.

This gave him an idea. He decided to use He Lian'er's words and the Qingfeng magic to stir up conflicts between others and the owner of the Youying Tower. This way, he would have a chance to take advantage of the situation and get the Thousand Souls and Ten Thousand Ghosts Robe.

However, the three people did not buy his trick at all. Not only did they not fall for it, but they also noticed something was wrong because his words were too harsh.

It has become extremely difficult to provoke again now.

Jiji Zi had a thousand thoughts in his mind, and many plans to seize the ghost robe emerged in his mind, but they were all rejected by him because of the powerful strength of the Lord of the Shadow Tower.

Now, the only feasible method he could think of was to rely on the other three fellow gods to kill the owner of the Shadow Tower.
