Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Zhi Tianqing, who was caught, was not very obedient either. He continued to provoke, "As the best in the current world of immortal cultivation, you are actually helping outsiders?"

"Humph."

"You guys have lost your consciences." Zhi Tianqing's eyes widened so wide on his skinny face that they almost popped out.

"Chen Xuyan is an outsider and should be executed swiftly!"

The three people who were originally numb looked up at Chen Xuyan after hearing this. Is he also a tasker?

Then why didn't Hua Jiuyao imprison him as well? What was going on?

Xuan Xijing was the one who suffered the most damage in these years, simply because he almost escaped at the beginning. So when Hua Jiuyao reinforced the Sky Lock for the past three hundred years, he always used him as the target.

There were a few times when Xuan Xijing thought he could escape, but he was still caught. In the past few decades, he had no power to resist at all, and he had accepted his fate.

Liu Fufeng sneered, "Li Yichen is already dead. You'd better tell me the truth about how you hid yourself from the formation."

"Otherwise, you will die." If there is really a problem with the sect protection formation, then it will be really over, and the entire Xuanfu Lingzong will face the situation of being invaded by foreign enemies at any time.

The evil cultivators have been watching closely.

"If he dies, he dies. A cultivator can't ascend to heaven anyway. It doesn't matter if he dies early or late. Junior Brother Li just died for revenge. We are determined to kill every outsider. This is what we must do!" Zhi Tianqing smiled very ghostly.

As for why the sect protection formation did not detect his movements, he would never tell it even if he died.

As early as when he chose to become a ghost cultivator, he had made up his mind to follow his heart and not be driven by anyone. Since these people turned a blind eye to the actions of these outsiders for the sake of the so-called greater good or out of selfish motives, then he, Zhi Tianqing, would personally seek revenge!

To avenge the dead brothers.

And there is Master.

Hua Jiuyao shook his head at Liu Fufeng, indicating that he didn't need to ask anymore, because Zhi Tianqing would not tell.

Chen Xuyan naturally felt Zhi Tianqing's malice towards him, but he did not expect that he could actually do this.

"Two senior brothers, our master asked us to go to the back mountain." Chen Xuyan raised his spiritual jade, which was the spiritual message from Zhongli Quan.

When Zhi Tianqing heard Chen Xuyan addressing Hua Jiuyao and Liu Fufeng, he was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean by calling them senior brothers?"

No one answered Zhi Tianqing's question. Even Yuan Junyao followed them into the teleportation array. His roar seemed particularly sarcastic.

——Forbidden Area in the Back Mountain

Zhongli Quan and Lu Ji were looking at the phantom on the stone table. If they looked closely, the phantom seemed to be a miniature of Xuanfu Lingzong, but the phantom was blocked by large and small formations so that only the outline could be seen.

"There is no sign of infiltration in this formation." Lu Ji said.

"I didn't see anything unusual elsewhere. Fufeng, use the soul-searching technique to see if there is anything missing in his memory, and record it with the memory beads." Zhongli Quan ordered.

Although he could guess that Zhi Tianqing would definitely clear out the parts related to the formation before taking action, there is nothing in this world that is impenetrable. As long as it is done by humans, there will definitely be clues left behind.

It didn't take Liu Fufeng long to return.

He said helplessly, "There's nothing left in his memory, and it's deteriorating faster and faster."

This old guy really had made preparations long before taking action.

Zhongli Quan said, "Give me the memory bead."

Liu Fufeng handed over the memory bead.

Zhongli Quan carefully replayed Zhi Tianqing's memory three times and said, "Found it."

A secret book appeared in his hand. He read all the contents in a short time and then handed the secret book to Lu Ji.

"What did you find?" Lu Ji did not express his guess.

"He is very smart, but he uses his intelligence in the wrong place. If I am not mistaken, he has already understood the essence of the sect protection formation. He did not avoid the sect protection formation at all, but became one with it." Zhongli Quan sighed.

Ghost cultivators were originally human cultivators, but became ghost cultivators by their own choice. Cultivation was particularly difficult for ghost cultivators like Zhi Tianqing, who had reached the fusion stage. Even before the Heavenly Ladder was closed, no ghost cultivator had ever ascended.

"The two missing disciples of the Zhenwu Immortal Sect must have been imprisoned by him. The reason why he didn't take action against the remaining disciples of the Xuanfu Spiritual Sect is probably because he was waiting for Jiuyao to capture them."

"Jiuyao's attitude towards Chen Xuyan angered him and made him think that Jiuyao had changed her mind about these outsiders and that one day she would release them. That's why she wanted to find an opportunity to kill Chen Xuyan." Lu Ji told the truth.

He is indeed right.

"Why bother with this old man? I'm afraid he can't hold on for much longer and will be swallowed up by the sect protection formation at any time." Liu Fufeng shook his head.

"Why do many people in the world of immortal cultivation have such different attitudes towards outsiders?" Chen Xuyan finally asked this question today.

Zhongli Quan and Lu Ji also said that they would tell him about this matter after he reached the Mahayana stage, so there was nothing he couldn't ask anymore.

Zhongli Quan spoke up, "Actually, the reason is very simple."

"The guidance of Heaven is not limited to us. Cultivators with higher cultivation levels have actually received guidance. However, what happened five hundred years ago also changed the way many people think. Whether Heaven's Way is right or wrong has also been questioned by many cultivators, such as Zhi Tianqing."

"Five hundred years ago, two outsiders, seeking to obtain what they called a 'divine artifact,' unexpectedly created a disease of unknown use. This disease is unlike anything we've ever seen, yet it managed to spread among the monks."

"He started with our Xuanfu Lingzong. The cultivator who was afflicted with the 'disease' mistook our disciples for hateful monsters, murderers of their fathers, rivals in love. In short, he regarded the people he was most familiar with as enemies. The most terrible thing is that he could actually affect high-level cultivators. Even Lu Ji, another senior brother and I were affected. We fought for dozens of days without stopping." When he said this, Zhongli Quan's mood was obviously affected and he paused for a while.

"This senior brother was the first to wake up. In that moment of clarity, he wanted to break through to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, because cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage can seek the blessing of Heaven when attempting to ascend. However, the ladder to heaven was broken at that time, so he would only die if he did so."

"He used his own life to exchange for the blessing of heaven on me and Lu Ji, so that we could wake up."

"But by the time we wake up, it's too late."

Zhongli Quan and Lu Ji’s thoughts drifted back to five hundred years ago.
