Chat group: In Daqin, Dongjun brought happiness to us

Led by Luo Kong, Ying An and the other group members entered the Jingnian Zen Temple and soon arrived outside the guest room where Dugu Feng was resting.

Outside the guest room, an old man with pale hair and beard, dressed in Taoist robes, with a youthful face and white hair, sat cross-legged. In his hands, he seemed to be playing with an invisible bird.

Faintly, the group members who came here even felt that there seemed to be a lively bird in the hands of this Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face, jumping around and chirping continuously.

"What a great move to turn the virtual into the real!" Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist immediately shifted his gaze away from the fake bird in his hand.

The moment he saw Zhang Sanfeng, the old Taoist's eyes fixed. He exclaimed in admiration, "Your realm truly astonishes me. What a Yin-Yang Tai Chi!"

"I am Zhang Sanfeng of the Wudang Sect. Nice to meet you! Thank you for your kind words!"

"I am Ning Daoqi, a wandering monk. I have no sect or school!" With such a big thing happening to the Dugu clan, almost all the people from the Jingnian Zen Temple came out.

As a grandmaster who is extremely close to Buddhism, Ning Daoqi was naturally invited in advance to be responsible for protecting Dugu Feng's safety.

Ning Daoqi had no doubts about Zhang Sanfeng's claim to be from the Wudang sect. Truthfully, after the rise of metaphysics during the Jin Dynasty, new Taoist sects and traditions emerged in droves. While the vast majority rose and fell quickly, it was undeniable that some traditions managed to survive.

In Ning Daoqi's opinion, perhaps Zhang Sanfeng is just a Taoist descendant whose sect's inheritance is not very remarkable.

After greeting Zhang Sanfeng, Ning Daoqi's eyes quickly shifted to Ying An.

After all, Ying An was just at the gate of Jingnian Zen Temple. Even though Ning Daoqi was outside Dugu Feng's guest room, he was really surprised.

Ning Daoqi felt that he had really opened his eyes to the Buddha who seemed to be the incarnation of the unchanging past and the eternal and infinite true meaning of the past.

He never dreamed that there was such an incredible inheritance in Buddhism.

Even the direct communication between Ying An and Luo Kong, Ning Daoqi still heard it clearly thanks to his powerful cultivation and five senses.

"I am Ning Daoqi, a poor monk. Nice to meet you, Zen Master!" As for Zhang Sanfeng, Ning Daoqi could maintain his status and sit in meditation while communicating with Zhang Sanfeng.

After all, although Zhang Sanfeng's realm is high, he has not truly transformed his realm into strength.

Ning Daoqi was, after all, one of the three most renowned Grandmasters. He subconsciously considered Zhang Sanfeng a fellow Taoist, and exchanged a few words with him as a senior.

But it’s different when it comes to Ying An.

Not to mention anything else, the threat from Ying An alone made Ning Daoqi feel like a thorn in his back all the time, which made him dare not be negligent at all.

After standing up, Ning Daoqi bowed to Ying An and said, "Ning Daoqi dares to ask the Zen Master, the shattered void in this world no longer exists. Is this related to the Zen Master?"

The moment Ning Daoqi finished speaking, the entire Jingnian Zen Temple fell silent.

As a disciple of Buddhism, although he is not like an ordinary warrior, he is wholeheartedly pursuing the realm of heaven that breaks the void.

However, the disappearance of the shattered void, which seemed like the rules of heaven, really frightened these Buddhist disciples.

Ying An looked at Ning Daoqi in surprise and asked, "How did you know that the disappearance of the Broken Void was related to me?"

Ning Daoqi heard this and gave a wry smile. "Is it really related to the Zen Master? So, the Zen Master was the one who showed the way forward for the Evil Emperor and also inherited the legacy of the Evil Extreme Sect, becoming the one who trusted the Sect Master, the current Evil Emperor!!"

"Have you met Xiang Yutian?" Ying An frowned.

Back in Shu, after Ying An had taught Xiang Yutian the Xuanyin Devil-Slaying Soul-Snatching Technique, he had assumed that Xiang Yutian would slowly and painstakingly remove the Yin residue from his spirit and soul. He was busy transforming his spirit and soul into Yang, aiming for the Yang God realm.

But now it seems that Xiang Yutian is not as innocent as he appeared when we met in Leshan before! !

What is his purpose in revealing his existence to Ning Daoqi at this time?

No matter what, Ying An couldn't figure out Xiang Yutian's purpose in doing this. Even if he exposed himself as the Evil Emperor, what would it matter?

You have to understand that in the Tang Dynasty, the true battle between good and evil is fought by the middle and lower classes. Even between the top brass of two factions, even if they are hostile, they won't engage in a life-and-death struggle that would debase their status. Even if they do, it's for deeper purposes.

On the contrary, it is not uncommon for high-level officials from both the righteous and evil sides to be on good terms with each other.

Hou Xibai of the Huajian School can even travel arm in arm with Shi Feixuan, the contemporary saint of Cihang Jingzhai. This shows how hypocritical the so-called opposition between good and evil is.

Right at the gate of Jingnian Zen Temple, Ying An awakened the Buddha nature in the hearts of countless people with the true meaning of the Amitabha Sutra.

Whether it is the monks of Jingnian Zen Temple or ordinary pilgrims, I believe no one will doubt the truth that Ying An inherited the Buddhist lineage.

In this situation, even if the news of Ying An inheriting the position of leader of the Xieji Sect and becoming the new Evil Emperor of the Demon Sect was exposed, I am afraid that in the eyes of many people, Ying An would definitely not be a member of the Demon Sect.

On the contrary, countless people would consider Ying An a typical example of someone who feeds the devil with his own body. Just like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, if I don't go to hell, who will?

Even Cihang Jingzhai could produce a person who served the devil with his body. How could Ying An, who was almost like a true Buddha in the world, be a devil?

Just because of Ying An's terrifying methods that were like those of a Buddha on earth, the Buddhist sect would never allow anyone to associate Ying An with the Demonic Sect.

Ying An can voluntarily join the Demon Sect in order to save it, but he himself must be cleaner than Bai Lianhua.

Otherwise, a demon sect's evil emperor could master the Buddhist methods to perfection, even more terrifying than the Buddhist monks. Where would the face of Buddhism be?

No matter how you look at it, Xiang Yutian didn't rely on hard work to gradually eliminate the evil in his mind and thoughts. Instead, he jumped out to cause trouble, which made Ying An feel uneasy.

"That's right!" Ning Daoqi nodded with a wry smile and said, "If I hadn't met Senior Xiang Yutian, I wouldn't have believed that there was such a remarkable person in the world who could remain in the world for two hundred years. I couldn't believe even more that there was a Zen master in the world who was like a god or Buddha on earth!"

Ying An, who was frowning in thought, didn't think about Xiang Yutian's purpose after hearing this. Instead, he said straight to the point, "I came here today to treat Dugu Feng and learn from her who the real culprit behind the destruction of the Dugu clan was. Do you want to stop me?"

Ning Daoqi shook his head decisively upon hearing this and said, "With my abilities, even if I risked my life, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to cause the Zen Master any trouble at all. However, if the Zen Master wants to know something, perhaps I can answer a few questions!!"

Suddenly startled, Ying An looked at Ning Daoqi in surprise and said, "Do you know who is the real culprit who destroyed the Dugu clan?"

Although Ning Daoqi's words were incredible, Ying An, who already possessed the ability to act on impulse, could sense that even if he couldn't directly capture the target of the mission, he could still obtain key clues from Ning Daoqi!

The facts turned out to be just as Ying An had expected.

Ning Daoqi shook his head upon hearing this, then explained, "I don't know who the real culprit behind the destruction of the Dugu clan is. But I do know that the heartless young man has teamed up with Senior Xiang Yutian. In fact, the reason I was able to meet Senior Xiang Yutian was because he came to warn me specifically about that young man!!"

"Tell me everything you know!" Ying An's face darkened.

After listening to Ning Daoqi's story, Ying An quickly understood the whole story.

Last night, the Dugu clan was annihilated overnight. Because the killer had administered several strange poisons, it wasn't until the next day, at first light, that someone finally noticed something was amiss with the Dugu clan's headquarters.

However, the poison the murderer had inflicted on the Dugu clan was extremely cruel. Anyone who entered the Dugu clan's residence would be poisoned in a short period of time without realizing it.

Even Dugu Feng was able to be rescued because Wang Shichong spared no expense to finally find her alive. However, even so, no trace of the murderer was found.

After Dugu Feng was awakened by Ning Daoqi's powerful Taoist internal force, he only knew that the person who destroyed the Dugu clan was a mysterious young man.

However, before Ning Daoqi could continue to ask for more clues, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere and caused Dugu Feng to fall unconscious again.

This person appeared out of nowhere, and Grandmaster Ning Daoqi didn't even notice any trace of his existence. It was none other than the legendary Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian, who died after going astray while practicing the Dao Heart Planting Demon Technique.

As soon as he saw Xiang Yutian, Ning Daoqi knew that he could never be a match for this evil emperor.

Because this Demon Sect's evil emperor had surprisingly cultivated the legendary Taoist Yang Shen. When dispersed, it became qi, and when gathered, it became a form.

Ning Daoqi is just a grandmaster. Even if he tries his best, he can't hurt Xiang Yutian at all.

Fortunately, Xiang Yutian had no intention of killing him, not even Dugu Feng.

Xiang Yutian only warned Ning Daoqi to prohibit everyone from investigating the truth behind the demise of the Dugu clan, and also asked Cihang Jingzhai to hand over the Heshi Bi.

This happened more than an hour ago.

After listening to Ning Daoqi's story, Ying An quickly came up with an idea in his mind.

If he guessed correctly, he had severed the connection between the War God Temple and this world while in the War God Temple, and thrown the War God Temple out of this world.

Because at that time both the group members and he were in a state of time and space turbulence.

For unknown reasons, the target of the mission targeted the Dugu clan and used poison to completely destroy the entire Dugu clan, leaving only Dugu Feng as the only descendant.

During this process, Xiang Yutian established a connection with the other party.

It was very likely that Xiang Yutian felt the disappearance of the Broken Void. Even the Broken Vajra he had been pursuing became an illusion.

Xiang Yutian, who couldn't accept the reality, was persuaded by the mission goal.

Of course, simple language would definitely not convince Xiang Yutian. The mission goal was most likely to produce some evidence that would be enough to gain Xiang Yutian's trust.

Xiang Yutian's request was extremely simple. Previously, he had been seeking to escape the fate of being reduced to a tool after shattering the void. Now, he most likely wanted to leave this world.

Now that Shattering the Void and Shattering the Diamond are both blocked, the only thing that can help Xiang Yutian realize his dream, besides the group members, is the mission target.

If the mission target takes this as a condition, Xiang Yutian might really cooperate with the other party.

It is not difficult to understand why Xiang Yutian appeared in Jingnian Zen Temple and threatened Ning Daoqi.

Even Ying An, who claimed that if he had not met Kankan through the chat group, had come to the Tang Dynasty world, his eyes would definitely have been on the two great treasures, the Evil Emperor's Relics and the Heshi Jade.

Since the mission target has set his sights on the Evil Emperor's relics, it is impossible for him to let go of the He Shi Bi.

Ning Daoqi's words just now undoubtedly proved this point. Xiang Yutian, who was cooperating with the mission target, would definitely ask for the Heshi Bi on their behalf.

In this case, Xiang Yutian will probably become the biggest obstacle when dealing with the mission target next.

Just as Ying An was beginning to have some thoughts about expressing his feelings to Xiang Yutian, an inexplicable idea suddenly emerged in his mind.

Demonic energy!!

You know, the only ones who can withstand the erosion of demonic energy by the negative energy of heaven and earth, apart from natural dragons, are cultivators with extremely powerful spiritual realms.

And in this world, it seems that there is only one Divine Soul Monk!!

Xiang Yutian!! .

Chapter 139: The Secret of the Template System! Ying An's Achilles' heel!

Ying An had previously struggled with how to manage that demonic energy. After all, its side effects were so powerful that even an ordinary Grandmaster would likely lose their rationality and consciousness within a few years, ultimately becoming a carrier of the negative energy of heaven and earth.

To truly be able to sustain the negative energy of heaven and earth for a long time and prevent this world from entering the Dharma Ending Age in a short period of time, one must at least reach the realm of Shattering the Void.

Even Xiang Yutian, in Ying An's mind, was not qualified enough to take on this responsibility.

Xiang Yutian was, after all, merely a warrior whose spirit was transitioning to yang. He was a cultivator with his own intelligence and pursuits. Unlike a dragon, even if he were to be swept by the negative energy of heaven and earth, his lack of intelligence and predominantly animalistic nature meant he was reduced to an ugly demonic dragon, yet he remained unaffected by the negative energy.

Not daring to break the void, he lost the opportunity to break the diamond.

Xiang Yutian might never be able to achieve his goal of staying in one place and constantly purifying his soul, shedding all the evil, and transforming into pure Yang.

After all, Xiang Yutian had given up most of his emotions in order to escape the Shattered Void. He wanted to leave this world by breaking the Diamond.

Ying An's actions almost completely cut off Xiang Yutian's hope.

Given Xiang Yutian's personality, knowing that he is no match for Ying An, his only hope is to place his trust in the target of the mission.

Of course, other things might have happened in between, but that was not what Ying An needed to know.

After all, for Ying An, their purpose this time is only to solve the mission objectives, rather than to settle the cause and effect of everything like a detective.

"Do you know where Xiang Yutian is now?" Ying An asked Ning Daoqi.

Ning Daoqi smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "In front of Senior Xiang Yutian, I don't even have the courage to take action, so how can I dare to ask anything?"

Frowning, Ying An thought for a moment and said, "What about the Dugu family's little phoenix? Does she know anything?"

"This..." Ning Daoqi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. If the Zen Master is interested, you can ask her in person. But now Miss Dugu Feng has fallen into a coma due to poisoning, and Senior Xiang Yutian has also done something wrong. I have no way to wake her up!"

Ying An nodded, walked past Ning Daoqi, and pushed open the door of the Zen room.

In the simply decorated Zen room, on the crude bed, a pale, bloodless girl, barely breathing, lay there with a frown on her face. She looked as if she was barely breathing.

In a flash, he appeared in front of Dugu Feng. Ying An instantly realized that Dugu Feng's unconsciousness was not simply due to poisoning. She had actually been struck by Xiang Yutian's spiritual magic.

However, Xiang Yutian's spiritual arts were clearly all his own creation. Although unique, they remained within the confines of the Tang Dynasty martial arts.

The Taoist magic that suppressed Dugu Feng's awakening soul always had a bit of the flavor of the Taoist magic of planting demons in the heart.

He stretched out a finger and gently touched Dugu Feng's forehead.

A terrifying energy as bright as the sun suddenly burst out from his fingertips, sweeping through Dugu Feng's entire body in the blink of an eye.

Be it the poison of the Seven-Star Begonia, the poison of the Golden Wave Flower, the Sad and Sweet Breeze, or Xiang Yutian's spiritual magic, with Ying An's light finger, they all disappeared in an instant.

Accompanied by a moan, Dugu Feng slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing a strange man standing beside her bed, Dugu Feng was startled and subconsciously grabbed the quilt tightly. She looked at Ying An warily.

"You... who are you?:"

"Ms. Dugu Feng, I'm sorry, I have a few questions that I need you to answer!!" Ying Anke had no interest in communicating with the girl in front of him. Since he had cured her, it was completely natural for her to answer his questions.

"Regarding the culprit who wiped out the entire Dugu clan, do you know his identity and whereabouts?"

Dugu Feng seemed to have thought of something horrible. His eyes narrowed and a look of deep fear flashed in his pupils.

"I……"

The night of the Dugu clan's demise was like a nightmare to Dugu Feng. Ying An whispered, "Calm down!"

The faint yang power of the soul spread out and quickly soothed Dugu Feng's inner fear and anxiety.
