Journey to the head

The situation was tense, Lu Qian's whole body was tense, and his spiritual energy was boiling.

At this moment he could clearly sense that "San Bu" was already filled with murderous intent and was about to take action!

Lu Qian's consciousness spread out like a spider web, and everything around him became so slow. Not seeing that the real person was opening his eyes, he was already raising the golden branch he was holding tightly!
however--

"Wait a minute!" A dull and strange female voice suddenly sounded, and a mass of mud-like black substance rose from the middle of the room, separating Lu Qian and the "Three No's".

At this moment, Lu Qian sensed a change in the energy of the "Three Nos" and abruptly stopped the process of taking action.

He also gently pressed down the golden branch, still holding it in his sleeve.

When his sight was focused on this mass of black substance, Lu Qian's consciousness felt as if it was hit by a heavy hammer, and he felt a strong sense of nausea in an instant!
On the surface, it looks like just a mass of black mud, but Lu Qian's keen perception tells him how filthy this thing is, it is really disgusting!
This is not the filth that humans can tolerate!

Lu Qian couldn't help but take a step back, and his spiritual sense dispersed again, not wanting to gather on this ball of black mud again.

Then the black mud began to wriggle, and from it emerged the woman's slender arms and round shoulders, which looked particularly white against the black mud. Then came the graceful neck, the cheeks covered by the waterfall of black hair, followed by the delicate collarbone, the soft breasts that could be held in one hand, and the soft waist...

The woman rose from the black mud, then walked out barefoot. The black mud had turned into a long black gauze skirt that wrapped around her body.

Her long hair spread out on both sides, revealing her exceptionally smooth cheeks - because there were no facial features on that face at all, it was just a piece of human skin without any pores!

Such a strange appearance made Lu Qian take another step back. He could clearly sense that this woman had reached the Golden Core Perfection.

"I am unclean." The woman said. Although she had no organs that could make sounds, the dull voice still echoed in the room. "Greetings, Master Lu."

Another golden elixir of the forbidden religion, the Impure Fairy!

When did she come to Plum Blossom House? When did she hide in this room? Even with my divine sense, I didn't notice it!
Lu Qian was apprehensive and bowed his hands: "Greetings, Fairy Bujing. Just now, Master Bu Yu of your sect promised to return my rebellious disciple. I wonder why you want to break your promise? Is my disciple so important?"

The Unclean Fairy asked back, "Tan Yunxing, is he really a disciple of Yunshan?"

Lu Qian nodded and said, "It seems that your sect really doesn't know. Then please go and ask around. This is not a secret."

Fairy Bujing nodded: "Since Sect Leader Lu said so, we naturally believe it."

She raised her hand and slowly calmed her spiritual power with the "Three No's". Lu Qian frowned.

"My three junior brothers have not practiced enough and are impulsive when faced with things. Don't blame me, Sect Leader Lu. It's just a coincidence that Tan Yunxing came to join us. During the test, he was found to be very compatible with the secret mantra of our sect. He also has extraordinary talent, so I have prepared to make him the Holy Son of Xing Sect."

“So when the three junior brothers heard that it was him, they were unwilling to return it.”

"However, I think that a saint's son cannot compare to the friendship of Chongming Alliance." Fairy Bujing changed the subject, "So I made the decision. This Tan Yunxing will be returned to your Yunshan Sect. What do you think, fellow disciples?"

The "Three No's" were silent for a moment, then all nodded, their spiritual pressure completely subsided.

"However, he has been sent to the headquarters of our sect. It will take a few days to transfer him back. I would like to trouble Master Lu to wait for a few more days. Once he arrives, I will personally send him back."

Lu Qian had no expression on his face. Is the ban on religion to delay time? For what?
But no matter what the reason was, it was no longer possible to provoke them to attack. Originally, with only the "Three No's" present, he could still hold out until all the ambushes were deployed, but now, with such an ignorant and unclean fairy around, it would be too risky to act rashly, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape unscathed.

"It's getting late now, and we still need to prepare for tomorrow's game." The Unclean Fairy said, "If there is nothing else important, we will not keep Master Lu."

Lu Qian looked at them deeply, bowed, and turned away.

The secret spell barrier of the forbidden courtyard quietly opened, Lu Qian walked out and shook his head imperceptibly.

All the Jindan who were lying in ambush heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that there would be no fighting tonight.

Lu Qian sighed softly. The situation was now even more complicated.

He came in person despite the danger, and he actually had many considerations.

First, for Tan Yunxing, to find out what his relationship with the Forbidden Religion is. Second, to further test the true purpose of the Forbidden Religion's "Three Noes". Third, if things go wrong, just start fighting, the bigger the better, directly causing the Xuanwei Sect to intervene, and then even if the Forbidden Religion has any conspiracy, it will either be completely exposed or it will have to stop.

The reason why Lu Qian was able to borrow the help from Master Lieyu was because he expressed his concerns to the Spirit Beast Sect and revealed his guesses. Although Yuanxu Lingjun didn't quite believe it, he was still willing to help Lu Qian.

Now, the only thing that can be inferred is that Tan Yunxing has a high status in the Forbidden Sect, and it is very likely that he has been involved with the Forbidden Sect for a long time. This is very strange. He is just a foundation-building person. What is there for the Forbidden Sect to pay attention to?
The fairy of uncleanness's "holy son" theory was really far-fetched, how could Lu Qian believe it? However, she suddenly appeared and started to attack, which was very disadvantageous to Lu Qian, so Lu Qian had no choice but to leave first.

The longer they delayed, the more it proved that their plan was far-reaching, and Lu Qian became more and more uneasy.

However, Lu Qian did not have any substantial evidence.

What has the Banned Cult done so far? Nothing more than a fleeting strange aura at the start of the game; trying to conceal their spells; conceding defeat to me unreasonably; recruiting followers crazily without considering the long-term; and then it was discovered that Tan Yunxing was also involved.
But all of this can be explained by a reason that is not very reasonable but can be explained.

Even the statement that "the forbidden sect is just trying every means to win the battle for innate spiritual energy and is just trying to gain the greatest benefit from this battle" is much more reliable than the guess that Lu Qian mentioned to Yuanxu Lingjun.

When Yuanxu Lingjun and Youde Zhenren heard Lu Qian's guess, they both thought it was too ridiculous.

Only Lu Qian himself, since the Miaofa Tianjun Temple incident, has been inexplicably involved in many Tianjun incidents. He even possessed Miaofa Tianjun's foundation for enlightenment, "The Book of Immortal Law and Great Dao Mengdie", and obtained some memories of Mengchi Zhenjun who experienced the disaster of the True Immortal. He even personally met Shengsha Tianjun and came into contact with Taiyin Tianjun.
Fate seemed to have undergone a miraculous change. He was involuntarily drawn into a vortex of horror and entered a field that he should never have entered.

Therefore, when it comes to the Heavenly Monarch, Lu Qian always has a subtle intuition.

Everything that is happening now may be a prelude to a terrorist incident.

But Lu Qian had no evidence, and he only felt that he might have been overthinking it.

The spell barrier was closed again.

Not listening to the real person, he said angrily: "Sister, why did you let him go?"

"Do you really want to fight?" The Unclean Fairy did not turn around, but just stood there. "If we really fight in this Plum Blossom House, you know what the consequences will be. Don't delay important matters! Besides, I can feel that this Tian Yuanzi is not that simple."

"But, he must have noticed something and wanted to take the Holy Envoy away!" Master Bu Shi was also very annoyed. "It's too dangerous to keep him here. Our plan may be affected!"

Fairy Bujing shook her head: "I think this is just a coincidence. Only the five of us know about the existence of the Holy Envoy, so how could it be leaked? Think about what Lu Qian has said and done since he came in. He definitely doesn't know that Tan Yunxing, who wants to be repaid, is the Holy Envoy of our sect, let alone guess the true identity and plan of our sect."

"It's just that we didn't know before that the Holy Envoy actually came from the Yunshan Sect."

"Then come to think of it, there's something wrong with the Holy Envoy." Immortal Bu Ting sneered, "When he asked us to surrender to the Yunshan Sect, I became suspicious——"

“Shut up!” The Unholy Fairy turned her head abruptly. Her long black gauze dress turned into black mud again, and her face was covered with painful marks. “Fortunately, the Holy Envoy is not here now, otherwise we would all be in trouble!”

"You must remember that the Holy Envoy represents the will of the Ming King!"

In front of her, Master Bu Ting did not dare to act rashly and could only shut up. Master Bu Yu vibrated the text: "Even if it was just a coincidence before, after this incident, Lu Qian will definitely have some doubts, and it is still an unstable factor."

"That's true. He can certainly tell my excuses, but he doesn't have any evidence." The Unholy Fairy said, "If he wants to doubt, he can only continue to investigate and wait. Our big event won't take more than a few games. What we have to do now is to drag it out peacefully."

"Once the merits are complete, what will a mere Lu Qian matter to you?"

The next day, the much-anticipated battle between the Sikong family and the Forbidden Cult took place as scheduled.

But compared to the packed valley, there were far fewer people in the Chongming Alliance's box.

All cultivators below the Jindan level have been sent back, including Jiang Baitao, Wang Ruoyu, Xiao Tianci from their own clan, Shen Jialuo and Cheng Sheng from the Huanggen Sect, the foundation-building cultivators from the Mingyu Sword Sect, and all other envoys from the Danxia Sect except True Man Chiyu. Only Kan Yuanzi was in poor health, so Wei Zhexing was left to accompany him.

Lin Le and Li Da have moved to Meihuafang to work and continue to be in charge of the work of the Intelligence Department.

Other ordinary disciples of the Chongming Alliance who were not in the boxes but in the audience seats also received orders to give up watching the game and return to the mountain gate.

This was the decision Lu Qian made to put his mind at ease. Although there was no real evidence and he couldn't stop the competition based on a vague guess, he could at least persuade those less powerful disciples to leave. This way, even if something really happened, there would be no one to hold them back.

In addition, even if the sky collapses, there are tall people to hold it up. With the Xuanwei Sect and Miaomiao Xuanjun in charge, the almost pure golden elixir combat power left by the Chongming Alliance will not cause any problems.

There was thunderous cheering from the audience, and the golden elixirs of both sides entered the arena.

There are three golden elixirs in the Sikong family, Sikong Shengji, Sikong Qing, and Sikong Yang.

All of them have achieved golden elixir perfection!

In fact, the current lineup has also been adjusted. In the previous group stage, of the three golden elixirs of the Sikong family, only one was perfect and two were in the late stage. But today, in order to fight against the "Three No's", the Sikong family transferred all three golden elixirs to the team!
Opposite them are the "Three No's" that the audience has gradually become familiar with. And with the awakening of the Three Golden Pills of Qinglian Zhenzong and some other former opponents of the "Three No's", all kinds of information about them becomes more complete.

He does not look at the real person, but practices the "Eyes of Corruption and Decay". Wherever he looks, everything decays and decays, destroys magic weapons, spells, and talismans, making him difficult to defeat.

Don't listen to the real person, but cultivate the "ears that can distinguish the truth". You can hear the truth and falsehood, judge the weaknesses, and lock the direction, so once you take action, you will never miss.

The Silent Immortal practices the secret mantra of "Word Spirit". According to legend, when one practices to the pinnacle, he can make his words come true, and this is the most difficult and hard to break ability.

The three Jindan masters of the Sikong family are in perfect form, fighting against the three Jindan masters of the forbidden sect, the "Three No's". Who will win and who will lose?

"The fourth match of the elimination round, the Sikong family versus the forbidden sect, begins!"

With a loud bang, only three huge holes were left on the ground, with spider-web-like radiating broken marks. The three golden pills of the Sikong family disappeared directly on the spot, and their figures flashed and appeared behind Sanbu. With palms, fists or legs, the strong wind was fierce and destroyed the mountains and split the rocks.

But Master Bu Yu had already taken off the red talisman from his mouth and shouted loudly.

"Get out!"

Amid the deafening explosion, Master Buyu's figure swayed and two lines of blood flowed from his nose. The three Jindan of the Sikong family were suppressed by the strange and powerful force, and fell heavily on the protective formation in a weird posture!
The master who doesn't see opened his gray eyes with double pupils, the master who doesn't hear listened attentively, and both swords shot out.

Master Buyu took a deep breath and continued to drink.

"Force leak!"

"slow!"

"Fragile!"

When he was about to say the fourth word, he had already puffed out a blood mist all over the sky.

After half an hour, the audience's voices were almost hoarse. The fierce battle made everyone extremely excited. Waves of excitement rose up and beat, and their brains were almost numb.

The dust that filled the valley finally cleared away, revealing the scarred valley floor, as if it had been plowed over by countless giant beasts.

The results are presented to everyone.

"The forbidden sect admits defeat, and the Sikong family wins!"

In the end, the "Three Nos" of the Forbidden Sect were all seriously injured and voluntarily admitted defeat. The situation of the Sikong family was not much better. Even though the three Jindan Perfectionists had martial arts bodies that had been tempered by thousands of hammers, they were already seriously injured. There were many traces of spells on their bodies that needed to be removed urgently. All the secret treasures and magical powers were used, and there was no hidden tricks.

This was a shocking match, as the "three no's" of the ban on teaching were fully utilized, keeping the audience in an excited state of cerebral orgasm.

Except for magical powers.

Up to now, "Three No's" has not displayed its magical powers. Lu Qian is very suspicious that the magical powers of "Three No's" should all be passive and continuously effective.

These can only be verified by ourselves.

Now that the "top four" of the first stage have been decided, the next step is the counterattack competition.

The order of appearance in the counterattack match is determined by the points in the group stage. The Chongming Alliance has the highest points, so it will be the first to appear. It can choose an opponent other than the Lingshou Sect among the top four and launch a "counterattack."

The Chongming Alliance naturally chose the ordinary Jindan team that won the third game, and after some effort, they defeated the team and temporarily became one of the top four.

Next, it is the turn of the banned teacher to select an opponent for a counterattack.

Given the choice between Xuanwei Sect, Lingshou Sect and Chongming Alliance, unsurprisingly, they chose the Chongming Alliance.

A few days later, amidst everyone's eager anticipation, the banned "Three No's" recovered from his injury, and another match with the Chongming Alliance kicked off!

Staring closely at the two opposing teams that had already entered the arena and were about to start fighting, Kan Yuanzi suddenly widened his eyes.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Master!"

As Wei Zhaixing exclaimed, a green light suddenly burst out above Kan Yuanzi's head.

Green light floated like rippling water, with mysterious runes flashing in it. In the air, the melodious sounds of bells, stringed instruments, and zithers rang out.

Ding ding dang dang, in the green light, runes were spinning and colliding rapidly, Kan Yuanzi's mouth and nose were bleeding, his lips were twitching, his long beard was trembling, and his fingers were pinching rapidly.

At this moment, the last bit of energy in his eyes was about to dissipate. With trembling lips, he shouted with all his might.

"Escape!" (End of this chapter)
