Chapter 519 Doubt

"what!"

The black shadow not far away let out a deafening scream, and an invisible spiritual pressure swept across the entire place, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

After all, Zhang Yunling was a top-level Taoist body, and he had also studied the secret method of spiritual consciousness. He quickly got rid of the confusion of spiritual consciousness. He was the second one to fully wake up after Dan Xizi. He once again summoned the Pure Yang Flying Sword and shot it at the huge black shadow not far away.

The Chunyang Taoist Palace has many inheritances, including magic cultivation, physical cultivation, and sword cultivation. Zhang Yunling specializes in sword cultivation. Ninety percent of his strength lies in the Chunyang Flying Sword, which he has refined to be indestructible and able to kill evil.

However, even such an amazing flying sword did not have much effect against the black shadow in front of him. Even if it hit the target, it would be blocked by the thick black air around him and could not advance an inch. It could only be recalled and tried again.

The terrain in the long cave was narrow and there was not much space for everyone to hide, but no one retreated. They all used their strengths to launch various attacks to surround and kill the evil black shadow.

Although most of the attacks were blocked, and the few attacks or explosions that broke through its defense did not cause any damage to it, the result was good. When this evil black shadow was first discovered, it was more than three meters tall, but now, it is less than ten meters tall.

Obviously, this evil creature is not as invincible and unstoppable as it appears to be. After all, it can still be hurt and can still be destroyed.

"Be careful!" Dan Xizi suddenly shouted.

Although the others didn't notice anything wrong, they all dispersed.

"what!"

A scream even crazier than before rang out again, and this time the impact of spiritual consciousness was obviously even stronger.

Fortunately, Zhang Yunling reacted very quickly. Almost in an instant, he activated a talisman to protect the soul and protected himself. After enduring the spiritual shock for more than ten seconds, he remained conscious.

"This thing is almost broken! Everyone, work harder! Use whatever means you have!" Dan Xizi said excitedly, "Don't let it be like last time, when we finally found an evil thing, but those bald donkeys got there first! We lost so much merit in vain!"

These words obviously aroused everyone's painful memories, and they began to exert their strength one by one. All kinds of talismans, treasures, lightning beads and light balls seemed to be free of charge and were scattered all over the place not far away.

To be honest, after such a long battle, there were not many talismans left in his storage bag, but Zhang Yunling still gritted his teeth, took out another stack of talismans, and began to seize the opportunity at this final moment, making as many contributions as possible in order to gain more merit.

There was no other way. Merit was so tempting. In just over a year, he had already reached the second level of the Spiritual Transformation! He was only a step away from reaching the third level of the Spiritual Transformation!
This speed of cultivation is unique even in the classics of an ancient sect like the Chunyang Dao Palace! Even the founder of the sect may not be able to match it!
Those bald asses didn't even tell us about the secret method of merit at the beginning! They stole a whole island of evil things for nothing! Thousands! Tens of thousands! They took them all for themselves! They are really unkind!
Fortunately, the people in the East Palace still had some comrades in mind. They explained the situation in a timely manner and taught everyone this miraculous and incomparable secret method of merit in exchange for certain benefits!

You only need to kill enough evil things, enough demon cultivators, enough demons, and seal enough strange things, and you can obtain the colorless and invisible merit of humanity and greatly reduce the time of cultivation!
Unfortunately, after the four gangs' intensive cleanup like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, the number of evil creatures, demon cultivators, demons, and even strange creatures in the entire Sea of ​​Tears has been greatly reduced. Until now, it is often impossible to find one for ten days or half a month.

This time, one of our junior brothers was careful enough. Not only did he not miss the caves on the ground, he also found this underground secret passage hidden in the coral reefs and this evil creature that had completely lost its human form.

Fortunately, although this evil creature had thick skin and flesh, it still had its limits. Under everyone's fierce bombardment, it finally couldn't bear it anymore and exploded, turning into wisps of black gas and dissipating into the air.

Dan Xizi acted quickly and took out the corona mirror at the first opportunity, emitting endless light that covered the entire cave space to prevent the black air from invading.

The light shone straight for more than ten minutes, and only stopped after ensuring that all the black air was eliminated.

Dan Xizi didn't waste any time and went straight to the place where the black shadows were. He picked up some carbonized debris there and observed something carefully.

Naturally, not much information could be seen on these black things, so he simply crushed some of the debris and began divination by counting on his fingers.

Not long after, he raised his head and made a confirmation: "If nothing unexpected happens, they are the same as the ones found by the Confucian Sect before. They are also disciples of the Soul Devouring Sect who invaded the Sea of ​​Tears before. They have been completely infected and summoned by the evil god and turned into zombies. There is nothing to say. The area around the cave must be cleaned up to prevent these evil cultivators from reviving."

Zhang Yunling had no time to do the finishing touches, so he just stood still in mid-air, feeling the merits of the nameless place above his head.

Alas, this kind of multi-person cooperation does improve security a lot, but the merits are also divided up, and the number is really too small. Even if you beat a hundred of these people, you may not be able to advance to the fourth level of the Spirit Transformation!

We still need to find a place where there are more evil creatures and where they are more concentrated! Where are these evil creatures hiding?

Dan Xizi, who was not far away, took out a jade pendant and took a quick look at it: "Okay, the matter has been resolved. This time, the search for evil has come to an end for the time being. Everyone, recover a little, and then return to Yuanbao Island. The four families will hold another meeting to discuss things."

There are fewer and fewer evil creatures. It has been almost a month since we went out for this battle, and we have only found two or three cats, big and small. The harvest is far less than before. Searching all day long is really very time-consuming and frustrating. Everyone speeded up and started digging in the cave, but unfortunately they didn't dig out anything.

This place is quite a distance from the temporary headquarters Yuanbao Island. Everyone discussed the issue while they were on the way:
"Everyone, what is this meeting about? Hasn't the territory been allocated? Everyone has their own area to avoid snatching evil objects. Isn't it going well?"

"It should be a matter of reconstruction. After all, the evil creatures are almost all destroyed now, and Yuanbao Island is basically sealed up and down. Now there are so many spiritual islands empty, we have to recruit new people."

"It's still too early! As you can see, these demon cultivators are hiding very well. If you recruit people here, what if they are infected by some evil creature again? We must take it slow."

"I think it's those bald donkeys who are behind this! Who knows? They might want to open the seal again, take out some low-level evil things, give them to other innocent people, and let them transform into evil things. Then we can destroy the evil things and earn merits this way."

"Didn't you participate last time? Haven't you tried it? This method can indeed help you get rid of evil spirits in large quantities and allow you to continuously gain merits, but it will also generate the same amount of karma! That little bit of karma requires ten points of merit to eliminate! It's totally not worth it!"

"Then, maybe there were some accidents at other checkpoints in the Human-Shemale Border, and some evil creatures escaped, and we have to clean up the mess?"

"Not really. Those places are guarded by Hedao or many Return to Void Peak masters, and with the formations that can break evil, it is impossible for them to be destroyed so easily. I think it must be the people who escaped back to the inland a long time ago who caused some trouble!"...

Soon, the group from Chunyang Taoist Palace arrived above Yuanbao Island, where a war flying boat from Donghuang Palace was parked. It was thousands of feet long and extremely huge, with 4,900 rooms and complete functions. It was a temporary base for the four forces and also the strongest seal for the island below.

There are not many people here. The four families are all elite, and each family has basically no more than a hundred people. Most of the people living here are survivors who have been rescued and it is impossible to confirm whether they have been infected by the evil gods from outside the domain.

Fortunately, there are not many survivors of this kind, and there is enough room for them to stay.

As a Pure Yang Taoist, Zhang Yunling was naturally qualified to attend the meeting. He followed Dan Xizi into the meeting room at the top of the flying boat. Representatives of the four forces gathered together and drank the spiritual tea, a specialty of the East Emperor Palace.

Everyone was present, and the meeting officially began. The first person to speak was the representative of the most prestigious East Palace: "This meeting is not for anything else, but because there are fewer and fewer evil creatures found recently, and it often takes more than ten days to find one. What do you think we should do next?"

"Do you want to disband?" The Confucian representative was puzzled. "Now is not the best time. As you know, we eliminated a weird Soul Devouring Sect disciple before. This guy still has some things in his memory. There are more than just one or two of them. This time, there is also a Return to Void Elder from the Soul Devouring Sect, their master, and more than ten other disciples!"

"Moreover, as far as I know, this Soul Devouring Sect's Elder Fanxu was one of the first people to be infected by the extraterritorial evil god. It is very likely that he has been completely transformed into evil. It is not so easy to eliminate him. It will take great means! If we withdraw now, what if this guy makes a comeback?"

"Yes." Dan Xizi nodded in agreement: "We have also discovered a returning demon before. The degree of evil of this guy is not high, but he is very difficult to deal with. So many of us failed to stop him, and we had to ask the Hedao above to help and annihilate him. This is just one! What if there are other hidden demons?"

"We don't agree to leave either!" Monk Huixin of the Brahma Sect also had a serious face: "I have been into those secret realms before, and I have been there three times! There are indeed some evil spirits in there, but they are all enemies. You just need to kill them and you can come back alive, but the most important thing is the reward inside."

"Many of them are extremely small, not even as big as a palm. There is no telling how many of these things are left in the entire Sea of ​​Tears. Once someone finds them again, it will obviously cause a second disaster! Therefore, it is better for us not to leave for a short period of time."

"You make it sound easy, but we can't stay in this remote area forever, can we? There is only so much spiritual energy here, and the Xianlian Sect hasn't invited us in. How can we practice in such a ghost place? We can't always use spiritual stones, can we?" Someone raised a different point.

"Haha, of course we can't stay here forever! We just need to solve the key problem. Those left behind evil things, we only need to send a small team of people in turn." Bodhisattva Huixin laughed.

"What's the key? Isn't it just the island below? It's been completely sealed, so it can't be considered a solution?" Someone disagreed: "This kind of sealing formation, even for a Hedao Master, it would take dozens of times to break it. With the strength of its spiritual veins, it has reached its limit and there is no room for improvement!"

"Of course not this Yuanbao Island! The problems and ties on Yuanbao Island have been completely resolved." Bodhisattva Huixin pointed out the key: "The most important thing is the Xianlian Sect!"

"Didn't the Xianlian Sect test it before? There was no sign of evil spirits." Someone was puzzled. "Besides, didn't they say that when this strange disaster started, they sealed the sect's protective formation so that no one could enter or leave. How could there be a problem?"

"It's very simple. In addition to testing the secret realm on Yuanbao Island, I also secretly explored the Xianlian Sect!" Bodhisattva Huixin kept it a secret: "Guess what I found!"

Everyone looked at each other and no one answered.

Bodhisattva Huixin was not annoyed and directly gave the answer: "On Xianlian Island, there is a small square with the same secret door as the one on Yuanbao Island! It also requires a fixed team of five to enter and exit! Someone died in the secret realm! There are also many strange buildings and people who look like puppets but are completely different from puppets!"

He finally came to the final conclusion: "This Xianlian Sect must have some secrets that we don't know about! Perhaps, this seemingly normal Xianlian Sect is the culprit behind this evil chaos!"

"That shouldn't be the case. The son of luck is the leader of the Xianlian Sect. How could he ask people to deliberately discover something wrong with him? Isn't this willing to expose my own guilt?" Someone from the Chunyang Taoist Palace objected.

"Indeed, if he is really a bad guy, he would not do such a thing that would only shoot himself in the foot. But the fact is that there are indeed many secret gates on the petal on the east side of the upper level of the Immortal Lotus Sect. They are concentrated together and many people are allowed to enter and explore." Bodhisattva Huixin just shrugged: "If you don't believe it, why not go with me and see it for yourself."

"Then let's go and see it together! Anyway, there are only two Return to Void dragons, it won't be difficult to deal with them. As long as we don't hurt their lives and don't harm the disciples, it should be fine." Dan Xizi made a thorough analysis: "We are also here to capture evil creatures, we are not targeting them intentionally, we just want to solve the problem."

……

Zhang Yunling opened his mouth but did not refute.

The matter is done and there is no point in opposing it. I can only try my best to prevent the Xianlian Sect from suffering too many casualties. After all, these monks will do anything for merit.

The meeting ended and a decision was made. The four forces merged, leaving a small group of people to guard Yuanbao Island, while the rest headed for Xianlian Island in a mighty manner.

Soon, a group of people arrived above Xianlian Island and attracted an old and frail water dragon, but the other water dragon did not appear.

Bodhisattva Huixin spoke first: "We suspect that there are evil things in the Xianlian Sect. Please open the sect protection formation and let us check it out!"

"No! The sect leader said that our Xianlian Sect is closed-door and has no contact with the outside world. There is no possibility of evil things. Please leave quickly." It was obvious that Lao Long did not intend to obey the order.

However, everyone had expected this situation. Several Brahma Sect masters who were at the peak of the Return to Void realm cooperated well and attacked together, instantly imprisoning the old water dragon. Then a formation master stepped forward, ready to break the formation.

Unfortunately, just as these people approached the formation, a dragon roar resounded through the sky.

The invisible dragon's might suppressed the entire audience, and everyone bowed their heads.

This is the power of Mahayana!
