Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 772 Lingxu Cave's Counterattack
In recent days, Master Yun Miao seems to have turned into an accountant fiddling with the beads on an abacus, being very penny-wise and minute-by-minute.

Although he had almost no experience in the Taoist temple, he paid more attention than ever to what Youyao asked him to do.

First of all, the imperial energy must be gathered enough, otherwise the mission will not be accomplished. But under this premise, the people in these four prefectures cannot be allowed to die, otherwise, it will be of little use for him to control four dead and desolate lands.

To this end, Master Yun Miao racked his brains and commanded the disciples of Qingguang Cave to roam around the Taoist temple. Not only did he use the tricks he saw in Kaiyuan Prefecture to build houses for the refugees and provide them with unlimited water and food, he also personally monitored the expressions and attitudes of many disciples, acting like the head of Qingguang Cave.

After all, only when the people have experienced good life will they feel more painful when they lose it. Only in comparison can the preciousness of the immortal grace be revealed.

Many Qingguang Cave disciples obeyed Master Youyao's orders for the sake of his respect, but they couldn't help but talk about this attentive "outsider" in private.

There is no wall that is impenetrable, let alone the Northern Continent where all the monks come from the same religion.

Soon, the changes in the four prefectures headed by Zhenning Prefecture attracted the attention of many fellow disciples.

"Senior Sister Youyao doesn't look like you're admitting defeat."

"Could it be that she is trying to do it covertly when the open approach doesn't work? How did Master Taixu get Kaiyuan Mansion in the first place? She is planning to follow his example and use it to influence other fellow Taoist temples around her?"

"Let's not talk about Senior Sister Youyao for now. Why does Senior Brother Yunmiao have such a lackey-like face? He seems to be enjoying it, as if he can have a share of the imperial energy of these four palaces."

The recent changes have obviously caused Youyao's prestige in the sect to plummet. In the past, no one would dare to make such casual comments on matters involving this senior sister.

Listening to the conversation and laughter of my fellow apprentices next to me.

Master Li Shan fell into silence. He gazed into the distance in the direction of Zhenning Prefecture, his eyes flickering.

Contrary to what everyone had guessed, what he saw was that Youyao not only admitted defeat, but was also planning to quit.

Of course, no matter what that woman thinks, it will be difficult for her to compete for the final throne.

What Li Shan was really worried about was that Youyao's attitude of taking over the four prefectures completely was probably because she wanted to use the imperial energy to become a Golden Immortal. The other party had suffered such a great setback and must be full of anger.

Besides, she is so anxious to break through. Could it be that she has given up on herself and wants to drag others into it?
Li Shan was not afraid of a crazy woman. Not to mention that the other party's target was most likely not him. Even if she succeeded in proving her truth, the elders in the sect would not watch her hurt themselves, the eldest disciple of Xuanwei Cave.

What he was afraid of was that Youyao would break the rules in anger. By then, what should have been a matter of many disciples voluntarily entering the calamity and competing fairly for the position of the common master of heaven and earth might turn into another kind of mess that would be difficult to clean up.

"Brother Li Shan, where are you going?"

Many fellow apprentices noticed something strange and looked over here in confusion.

Li Shan smiled helplessly. Youyao's withdrawal was certainly a good thing for him as he had one less strong competitor. But he couldn't just watch that woman turn this catastrophe into something dirty and smelly, harming others and herself, and causing disaster.

"I have to go and persuade our Master Youyao."

……

Zhenning City, even though several years have passed since the day the city was destroyed, the place is still in ruins.

The air was filled with a strong smell of urine and feces.

Even if Master Yun Miao was a Daluo Immortal, these smells could not get close to him as long as he didn't want to. But just looking at the scene around him, he subconsciously covered his nose with a handkerchief.

"Has everything been arranged?"

"Reporting to the senior, the seven great demons have already arrived. We have already explained to them their route and how many to kill and how many to leave. Everything is done according to your wishes."

The disciples of Qingguang Cave concealed the contempt in their eyes and bowed in a respectful manner.

"It's almost time to start."

Master Yun Miao put down his handkerchief, looked around again, and there was a hint of excitement on his face.

It won’t be long before every place within sight will become your own dojo.

The disciple of the insect demon used all kinds of tricks and schemes, was full of evil intentions, and even brought disaster upon himself, but in the end he could only temporarily occupy the Kaiyuan Mansion.

As the eldest disciple of Lingxu Cave, he didn't need to fight at all. With a little effort, he could take over a dojo that was far superior to the opponent's.

Who is the way out for the Lingxu Cave lineage? After some time, the old and blurry-eyed master will be able to see clearly.

Besides, Senior Sister Youyao has chosen to withdraw, so it would be natural for me to take her place.

Thinking of this, Master Yun Miao instinctively looked up to the sky, and even his breathing became a little rapid... He never thought that one day, he, Yun Miao, would also be qualified to compete for the throne of the Immortal Emperor!

If I could really ascend to the throne, even my master would have to bow respectfully and call me the Lord of Heaven and Earth when he saw me.

Just thinking of this scene, Yun Miao couldn't help but tremble slightly all over, waving his sleeves and saying, "Hurry and do it!"

He couldn't wait to clear himself of all the grievances and prove to his fellow disciples in Beizhou how far-sighted he really was.

"As ordered!"

All the Qingguang Cave disciples quickly bowed and took their leave, leaving in all directions.

Considering the vastness of the four prefectures, it would be difficult to capture the imperial energy all at once, even with all the manpower of one lineage.

Therefore, while they were making tight arrangements, strange figures quietly poured in from many inconspicuous places.

At the border of Zhenning Prefecture.

With the help of the immortals, this place has become like Tianta Mountain a few months ago, with a faint sense of life.

The people put on new clothes and gathered around the well to drink.

A man in linen clothes walked in slowly, neither taking food nor drinking water. He glanced at the rough houses around him with a hint of mockery at the corners of his lips.

The man walked slowly to the base of the big tree and sat down.

An old man noticed his strangeness, hesitated for a moment, broke off half of the pancake in his hand and handed it to him: "Want to fill your stomach?"

If this had happened in the former Zhenning Prefecture, it would have been unimaginable.

“Life is getting better and better.”

The old man opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of broken yellow teeth.

The man raised his eyes and glanced at it. He did not reach out to take the cake, but said calmly: "What if this good life does not last long?"

Hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, then his face trembled and anger quickly emerged on his whole face. He took back half of the pancake and didn't eat it, but just stared at the man in front of him.

Saying such unlucky words is no different from cursing someone's mother at their funeral.

The people who were originally gathered around the well also gathered over in silence. They clenched their fists and stared at the man under the tree with cold eyes until the place was completely blocked.

How can the good days bestowed by True Lord Youyao just disappear?

"Get out!"

Someone let out a low growl, and the others echoed it.

A group of skinny beings, like the living dead, were approaching the man step by step.

"Tsk."

The man sat there leisurely, until someone raised his fist, he stood up slowly. A fairy light flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, the linen clothes on his body turned into a plain Lingxu Cave disciple's shirt.

"I didn't mean to curse you."

He waved his sleeves and respectfully placed a statue of a man standing on a black cloud under the tree. He then carved lightly on the tree with his fingertips: "Can you read?"

Many refugees were shocked by this change and stood there with dazed expressions on their faces.

"Remember this taboo in your mind. If a change occurs, chant this true name, and it may protect your lives."

The disciple of Lingxu Cave walked leisurely out of the crowd and headed towards the outside of Zhenning Prefecture.

The refugees stared at the tree in a daze: "Taixu...True Lord."

Before they could react, an angry voice was heard behind them.

"How dare you, a bunch of bitches, step into the dojo of my Master Youyao!"

A disciple from Mount Qingguang noticed something was wrong here and quickly descended from the sky. When he saw what was happening, his face flushed red. “What are you guys still looking at? Are you looking for death? All of you, disperse!”

After saying that, he raised his hand and a beam of light flew towards the statue under the big tree, intending to blow it into pieces.

However, the clear light had just passed halfway when it twisted and disintegrated.

Seeing this, the disciple from Qingguang Cave was almost laughing out of anger. He hadn't even bothered this person yet, but this person from Lingxu Cave was actually taking advantage of him.

Just based on the gap between the two veins, the people of Lingxu Cave always actively avoid Qingguang Cave when traveling outside. Today, they are going against the grain.

In an instant, clear light emanated from between his ten fingers. Just as he was about to swing his palms out again, his palms suddenly stopped in the air.

I saw a magic sword was placed across his neck at some point.

"Come on, try touching the statue of my Master?"

The disciple of Lingxu Cave held the magic sword in his hand and tapped the opponent's cheek twice with the blade. He sneered and became tougher than ever before.

In the past, even if his cultivation was higher than that of the other party, he did not dare to provoke him. But ever since he witnessed with his own eyes Uncle Taixu easily killing five Bodhisattvas on Tianta Mountain, the situation has changed.

"you……"

The disciples of Qingguang Cave felt the calamity power contained in the sword, their eyes filled with anger, but they did not dare to move at all.

Until now, he finally realized that Master Youyao's current situation in Beizhou is no longer what it used to be.

Even the timid Lingxu Dong dared to come to his own Taoist temple and act wildly!

What this disciple didn't know was that the scene before his eyes was not a special case, and similar situations were happening one after another in this vast area of ​​the four prefectures.

He wanted to inform Senior Yun Miao that something had gone wrong, but under the cold edge, he could only reluctantly put away the jade slip.

Not long after.

A demonic roar that came from a very far distance and was still clearly audible spread out violently.

Roar!
The refugees, who had been stunned, were suddenly awakened by the fear engraved in their bones, and instinctively wanted to flee in all directions.

At this moment, those light words came into their ears again.

"Don't forget what I said earlier."

The disciple of Lingxu Cave put away his sword, turned around to look at the statue under the tree, and then bowed respectfully.

The refugees paused for just a moment. Having witnessed countless demon disasters, how could they entrust their lives to a lifeless statue during this earth-shaking moment?

The demon's roar became more and more deafening, almost turning into real wind and waves.

They screamed in fear and ran away again.

At the same time, a huge shadow suddenly covered the earth, as if the sun and the moon had lost their light and disappeared into eternal night.

Some people looked up in fear, but found that it was not a big monster attacking.

It was like ink dripped into clear water, spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into rolling black clouds that occupied the end of the field of vision.

The dark clouds covering the sky do not seem evil, but instead give people a sense of vastness and shock.

With the eyesight of mortals, we can only see the dark sky but cannot see its true appearance.

But the big monster that was running wildly had clearly arrived at Zhenning Prefecture, but was shocked by this change. Even though there were living creatures and flesh under its feet, it did not dare to move at all.

It just stood there blankly, not daring to leave or move forward.

The Three Immortals Sect disciples who had been paying attention to the Youyao Taoist Temple all looked at each other in bewilderment at this sudden scene.

"This is……"

In fact, there was no need to say more. They all saw the figure in white standing with his hands hanging down in the center of the black cloud.

The handsome young man was in this vastness, looking down with a calm face, taking in the entire land of the four prefectures. The shadow cast by the thick clouds was like a huge claw, slightly opened, slowly grasping the earth into the palm of his hand.

He clearly did nothing, but he was able to give these disciples who were in a distant place a strong feeling of suffocation.

That’s the confidence that everything is under control.

"Brother Taixu, are you planning a counterattack?"

Finally someone reacted, but they were just surprised and didn't feel there was anything wrong. Instead, they thought this was normal.

After all, Senior Sister Youyao was the first to attack Kaiyuan Mansion. Now that she failed in the fight, how could she not pay a price?

But no one expected that Senior Brother Taixu's counterattack would come so quickly and so ruthlessly. Taking advantage of Senior Sister Youyao's opportunity to grab the imperial energy, he would attack the four entire mansions at once!

Looking across the entire Northern Continent, there has never been a dispute involving such a wide range of dojo.

Compared to many of his fellow students who were just watching the excitement.

In the city of Zhenning Prefecture.

True Man Yun Miao also saw the black cloud. He stared at the figure in it. When he realized what was about to happen, surging resentment instantly filled his eyes.

Why? Why do you hurt me again and again!

The Taoist temple was so close at hand, and the throne of the Immortal Emperor that had already descended upon him seemed to become distant again.

Yun Miao had never quarreled with anyone since he came down the mountain. Even when he was extremely angry with Shen Yi, he never actually cursed at him in person, let alone took action.

But today, if he continues to endure, all his cultivation would be in vain!

Yun Miao watched the figure in the black cloud slowly disappear and fly towards the east. His face was ferocious, and he suddenly soared into the air and chased after it.
