Chapter 3667 The People in the Tower

Even after he regained his health, the Buddhist disciple of Master Shi Gong continued to feign illness and even infiltrated the secret realm of Mount Mi Lu.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that Master Shi was plotting something. He liked this kind of person who was plotting, and only someone with this kind of quality would reveal the secrets of Mount Milu.

Compared to Lingxiao and Kunlun, the Milu Mountain secret realm is not large, but it still covers an area of ​​about ten miles in radius.

Zhang Xuezhou could quickly fly through the secret area, but searching for this secret area was another matter entirely. If someone could guide him, it would undoubtedly save a lot of trouble and allow for a more in-depth investigation.

"This is the workshop. I usually learn to make some bone tools here!"

The sickly-looking Buddhist monk led the way, occasionally making introductions, while Parvati, whose appearance had somehow become ugly, remained silent as he walked beside the group.

"These bone artifacts are quite nice!"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the bone artifacts mentioned by the Buddhist monk Shi Gong.

These bone artifacts were crafted from the treasures of powerful demons, some possessing the original power of the treasures, while others became magical artifacts for incantations.

Making a treasure is not as simple as grinding it a couple of times. It requires using magical power to repeatedly refine it and constantly withstand the erosion of the demonic energy remaining in the treasure in order to maintain its characteristics as much as possible while giving the cultivator the possibility of using it normally.

After listening to the Buddhist monk Shi Gong's explanation, Zhang Xuezhou managed to grasp the process of creating the demon treasure.

"This is my wife. She usually does chores for me, but she has been corrupted by demonic energy, and her body is somewhat deformed!"

Upon seeing Zhang Xuezhou's gaze sweep towards Parvati, the Buddhist monk offered a brief explanation.

“Then she works for a rather long time,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

"It has been quite a long time!"

The Buddhist disciple nodded and then lowered his head again.

His staying here clearly has conditions; only by meeting these conditions can he be stationed in the secret land of Milu Mountain.

"What are you looking for here?" Zhang Xuezhou asked with a smile. "I'm a bit lucky, and the cultivator next to me is a great talent. Perhaps he can help you while completing the Celestial Court's mission!"

"I'm just using the demonic artifact to study demonic power; I have no other purpose!"

The Buddhist disciple shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he had no ulterior motives.

“There are countless mysteries in the world, and trying to solve them alone is always a poor strategy,” Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, “I have heard that there are some opportunities in the world that can turn white hair black, change one’s appearance and extend one’s lifespan, and even regenerate severed limbs from nothing, thus making one’s whole person completely new!”

"Ok?"

Shi Gong Fo Zi's gaze sharpened. He was indeed not hiding anything and was genuinely researching demonic power to see if he could implant a demonic body into himself.

But no matter what demonic body he connected with, it couldn't compare to the original limbs. He hadn't intended to pay attention to Zhang Xuezhou's incessant questioning, but he couldn't resist Zhang Xuezhou directly hitting his weak spot.

"What opportunity in the world can allow someone to be reborn after severing their body?" Master Shi asked earnestly.

"hehe!"

Zhang Xuezhou chuckled dryly without responding, which made the Buddhist monk, Shi Gong, itching to know more. He wished he could just pry open Zhang Xuezhou's mouth to get the information he needed.

Master Shi was well aware that if he couldn't help Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Xuezhou would never hand over the opportunity.

Ultimately, they weren't exactly close friends. They had met and cooperated a few times, each taking what they needed, but they weren't long-term stakeholders.

However, Master Shi Gong felt that the Celestial Court and Kunlun had staged a thief crying "stop thief!" incident, with the aim of smearing the two leaders, and it was impossible to truly find any scapegoating cultivators.

It seems that Zhang Xuezhou and others are conducting the investigation, but how could Shi Gong Fozi get involved in such speculation?

"The only things I can access are demonic treasures and dead souls. These areas are all within my reach. The other side is a place I cannot enter, and it is fraught with great danger!"

The Buddhist monk pointed out several areas.

The areas he can enter won't hold any special secrets, while the areas he can't go to are fraught with danger. Even if Zhang Xuezhou comes with an imperial decree to investigate, he'll need considerable skill to enter.

The Buddha Master Shi Gong's gaze swept over the many areas where the fires continued to burn, and the white ash left behind after the burning of hundreds or even thousands of great demon souls. He felt that Zhang Xuezhou and the others were incredibly audacious in carrying out their orders. They were showing no respect for the Western Sect. If they had any secret hiding places, they would have chosen to forcibly enter them.

After pointing out several places, the Buddhist monk Shi Gong saw that Zhang Xuezhou and Zhenyuan Shenjun were indeed heading towards the dangerous area ahead, completely ignoring the arrangements made by the two sect leaders, Jieyin and Zhunti.

"There's poison powder on the door, and a trap behind it!"

"The mechanism should be connected to this heavy stone. Be careful not to damage the support points inside so it won't fall!"

"Just push down the huge boulder beforehand!"

……

The Buddhist monk Shi Gong watched as the two whispered among themselves before proceeding to demolish the house. He watched in disbelief as the two, who completely disregarded the rules, pushed over massive boulders weighing tens of thousands of pounds, even tearing off the roof of the secret chamber set up by the Zhunti Sect Leader, before crawling into the chamber from the top.

"What kind of treasure is this?"

"I feel it's better than Li Tianwang's pagoda magic weapon!"

"This kind of mysterious energy on the tower is very rare; it actually neutralized my magical power!"

"The Seven Treasures Tree of the Cundi Sect Master can counter magic weapons, this must be his spoils of war!"

"I... am too heavy. This treasure is difficult to use without knowing the proper methods; it's no different from carrying a wall!"

"Let's see if we can find any spirit jade!"

The conversation inside the secret room was very quiet, but the Buddhist disciple could hear it clearly.

He was somewhat taken aback, feeling that the two men seemed less like they were there to inspect and more like they were there to freeload.

It was truly rare for a cultivator in the Three Realms to have the audacity to openly rob the Western Sect. For a moment, Master Shi Gong felt a sense of existential unease. He thought that Zhang Xuezhou was used to eating and drinking for free in the Kunlun Holy Land and probably didn't understand that the situation at Mount Milu was different.

But as soon as he thought of how Zhenyuan Shenjun could casually fan away a boulder weighing tens of thousands of pounds, he felt that these two people did have some ability to take advantage of a disaster. Even if they were no match for the two sect leaders, they could at least run away.

"This tower has suddenly become light again; it actually tipped over just now!"

"Why do you suddenly feel so light?"

"I don't know either, can we use it?"

"Take it all, take it all! Anything these two old bastards have hoarded, I'll take it all. Even if I don't need it, I'll be happy to leave it in the sea for them to search for!"

"Fine, you're in charge!"

The two searched the secret room thoroughly, even resorting to treasure-hunting techniques.

After waiting for a while, the Buddhist monk saw two people jump out of the secret chamber one after the other, each carrying a pagoda that was ten feet tall.

A pale yellow aura emanated from the pagoda, clearly indicating it was an extraordinary treasure. The Buddhist disciple Shi Gong reluctantly stepped forward.

"Gentlemen, I have no intention of fleeing for my life. Could you please be a little more polite, or wait until the leader arrives here before recovering the stolen goods?"

Zhang Xuezhou and his group searching for clues was one thing, but ransacking the place like this was bound to cause trouble. Even if the Buddhist monk pretended to be sick, he couldn't escape it. He would most likely be beaten to death by the Zhunti Sect Leader for neglecting to take care of him.

He looked troubled, feeling that the clues Zhang Xuezhou and the others were searching for were completely different from what he had imagined.

The Buddha Master could never have imagined that the two of them would dare to embezzle such a precious treasure.

He stepped forward and pleaded, but the strangely-looking cultivator beside Zhang Xuezhou waved his long sleeve, and the gentle binding force made it difficult for him to move.

"Stop making a racket here! If you want to avoid disaster, leave now!"

Zhenyuan Shenjun bound Shigong Fozi with a single sleeve. He had been whipped by Zhunti Jiaozhu with the Seven Treasures Tree, but now that he had obtained a precious treasure, he was in a very good mood and could not listen to Shigong Fozi's advice.

If Zhang Xuezhou hadn't been familiar with the other party, the power of his sleeve wouldn't have been so simple.

"Please spare my life, gentlemen. I finally managed to get transferred to Milu Mountain..."

The Buddha disciple of the Wet Lord pleaded several times, while the Divine Lord Zhenyuan showed impatience on his face.

The two repeatedly made excuses and kept pulling at Zhang Xuezhou. Then, they heard a loud bang from the pagoda, and the ten-foot-tall pagoda quickly grew larger, transforming into a nine-foot-tall pagoda.

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the pagoda door suddenly opened, and a white-haired Taoist priest draped in pale yellow mystic energy walked out of the pagoda.

"The Ten Thousand Demon Soul Devouring Array is finally gone. I survived thanks to the will of heaven!"

The Taoist bowed to the crowd, and with a swift movement, his figure receded rapidly, disappearing directly through the Bifeng layer above Mount Milu.

"Is there someone being imprisoned in this tower?"

Zhenyuan Shenjun exclaimed in surprise. He looked at the Taoist who had vanished in an instant and couldn't help but gasp.

It's hard to say about the opponent's other skills, but his flying technique alone is extraordinary. Even if he tried his best, his speed was probably only equivalent to the opponent's starting speed.

"It seems to be a Yang Soul Body!"

Zhenyuan Shenjun focused on the flying techniques used by the Taoist, while Zhang Xuezhou paid attention to the Taoist's body.

If he wasn't mistaken, the other party was indeed a Yang Soul, but possessed a body that was no different from a physical body. This body gave him a sense of familiarity, and there was a high probability that it was formed through cultivation using the Zhujiuyin method.
