Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 425: The sect is in chaos, and the family scandal is exposed

On the top of Xiliu Mountain, on the Xuange Observation Deck.

The mountain breeze lingers in my ears, and as far as I can see, the mountains are low and shrouded in mist.

"The mission in the Great Wilderness Mountain Region has been over for many years. Is Yuanzhang reluctant to come back, or what? How about sending someone to visit and ask about the situation so that we can feel at ease."

The former sect leader Lu Jiuzhen, with white hair and beard, said with a smile.

He traveled outside for more than thirty years, and returned to the sect to seclude himself for ten years. He successfully broke through and advanced to the seventh level. He just walked out of the mountain of seclusion last year. After 1,600 years of arduous and long practice, he finally reaped the rewards.

"It's okay. Yuan Chang promised me that he would come back to the sect before traveling across the realm. Maybe he was delayed by something."

Cao Wanxin was very confident in Junior Brother Xu's character and abilities. He sighed and said, "Second Brother Cen is a real worry. He said he was going on a long journey, but he directly teleported across the boundary to Yuxu Territory without telling us. If he hadn't asked someone to send a letter back, we would still be kept in the dark. That place is really too dangerous."

There are two mysterious and dangerous places in the upper realm, namely the Yuxu Realm and the Chenfu Realm.

Monks cannot survive below the fourth floor as the environment is complex and harsh, producing all kinds of natural treasures.

Those who can explore the two upper realms must have at least the sixth level of cultivation.

Especially the Sinking and Floating Area, which is said to be connected to other mysterious places. It has buried countless masters of the Eighth and Ninth Floors, and it has also attracted batches of monks to explore and hone their skills.

Lu Jiuzhen smiled bitterly and said, "He is just stubborn and won't listen to advice. When he asked me to drink last year, I saw some signs and said a few words to him, asking him to wait a while. In 20 or 30 years, I will go with him and not take risks alone."

After taking a sip of tea, he changed the subject and asked, "I got some news from Liuyun Sect that Yuanzhang's master is a mysterious Nine-Layered Tower master. I never heard Yuanzhang mention this before when I was in the sect."

He is the former sect leader, and the current sect leader is his direct disciple.

We are well-informed about information from all sides.

Cao Wanxin had heard of such rumors a few years ago and even flew to Liuyun City to treat a friend to a drink. This confirmed that the rumors were true and that the power behind Junior Brother Xu was unfathomable.

His previous speculation about Junior Brother Xu's identity as an ascended monk also became nonsense because the time did not match.

"It is true. After many years of friendship, Junior Brother Xu is a trustworthy person. We definitely cannot keep Junior Brother Xu at Wuliu Mountain, but we can keep Xiao Meng."

"Ha, Senior Brother is smart. Yuan Chang is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty. He will not leave and never come back again."

Lu Jiuzhen suddenly reacted and laughed.

How could a small family like Wuliu Mountain catch the eye of Junior Brother Xu, who has a bright future?
The fragrance of the aroma was curling up, and the two people were chatting animatedly when a talisman flashed in the air.

Cao Wanxin took it and examined it briefly. He smiled and stood up: "Haha, we have read Junior Brother Xu back. He just entered the mountain gate. Let's go and greet him."

Then Lu Jiuzhen also received the message and flew into the air, saying with a smile: "We will set up a welcoming banquet to welcome Yuan Chang later."

At present, after decades of training at great cost, the number of sixth-floor elders in Wuliu Mountain has increased to eight.

Yan Hanlin has been in seclusion for nearly ten years, and perhaps he can break through to the seventh level.

The power of Wuliu Mountain has firmly established itself as the third in the Qiaojiao Mountain area, leaving those competitors far behind.

The two flew about a hundred miles away and greeted Xu Yuanchang, who was returning to the sect, from afar.

Cao Wanxin looked at his junior brother whose demeanor was becoming more and more extraordinary, sighed a few words, and extended his hand to invite his junior brother to go to Xiliu Mountain to talk.

He finally witnessed what "unstoppable force" meant. His junior brother was indeed worthy of being a disciple valued by the great master of the Ninth Floor. It had only been a short time since he was promoted to the Seventh Floor. From the looks of it, he had already reached the middle stage of cultivation?
It was like he was climbing up the seventh floor, with almost one step at a time.

Every step is like walking on thin ice, and encountering bottlenecks is even more difficult.

People are different and cannot be compared.

Xu Yuanchang exchanged greetings with his two senior brothers and congratulated Senior Brother Lu on his promotion to the seventh floor. While chatting and laughing, the three of them descended side by side to the top of Xiliu Mountain, showed courtesy to each other, and walked into the main hall one after another.

After several servants arranged the spiritual fruits, snacks and tea, they withdrew and stood outside the hall according to the rules so as not to disturb the conversation of the three ancestors.

After chatting for a while, Xu Yuanchang put down his teacup and said mysteriously, "Brother Cao, please close the door of the hall for a while. I have been away for more than 40 years and found a rare item. I would like to ask you two brothers to help me take a look at it."

Cao Wanxin was very interested and waved his hand to close the palace door. He asked with a smile, "I heard that you killed a hidden earth dragon in Qixing Mountain?"

Lu Jiuzhen asked curiously, "Master Yuan, please take it out quickly. What treasure is it? Don't keep us in suspense."

Xu Yuanchang took out a long while from his sleeves and said with a smile: "The Hidden Dragon Demon Pill is not worth mentioning. This item was given to me by an elder."

He took out a glittering crystal box, peeled off the seal on it, and handed the box to Lu Jiuzhen opposite him, but Cao Wanxin took it away first.

"Haha, I can't wait any longer. I want to see it first."

As Cao Wanxin spoke, he opened the crystal jade box, and a bead inside emitted a dazzling golden light.

Sudden exposure to golden light, Lu Jiuzhen, who was smiling beside him, suddenly screamed.

He stepped back quickly, knocking over a chair. Thick black mist emanated from his body, and he was completely unrecognizable. Countless tentacles stretched out from his back and entangled the two of them crazily. On the tentacles were black dots the size of copper coins, flashing with faint light, and sharp suction claws extended from the top.

Xu Yuanchang sneered and pointed his finger forward.

With a few "hissing" sounds, the golden light cut off all the attacking tentacles.

The flames suddenly rose up, burning the tentacles that were still twisting on the ground. The Yin-Yang flames surrounded the monster hidden in the black air from all sides. He shouted, "Who are you?"

He has always been sensitive to all kinds of evil things, and the divine light of creation is the nemesis of all kinds of evil.

Earlier when they were on the road, he was close to Lu Jiuzhen and noticed something slightly different. The Creation Altar in his spiritual space also vibrated slightly as a warning. He was not sure what went wrong with his senior brother?
Therefore, under the pretext of admiring treasures, he used the divine light of creation to set a small trap.

Unfortunately, he was intercepted by Senior Brother Cao midway, so the effect was much worse. He also couldn't be too obvious so as not to alert the other party.

With a ray of divine light from creation, the other party's true form was revealed.

Can’t he tell what that black gas is?
He is neither a god, nor a demon, nor a ghost, but is filled with evil, murderous aura and hostility. I guess in my heart that the eldest senior brother is probably dead.

Cao Wanxin regained consciousness from his initial shock, his eyes seemed to be emitting fire, he pressed his hands together, strengthened the defense of the hall formation, and said: "'The Yin Qi is like a demon, and the evil spirit is like a thick cloud', Lu Jiuzhen is so confused, for his own selfish reasons, because he could not break through for a long time, he was too obsessed, and at the critical moment of breaking through, he was blocked by the inner demon, resulting in failure, and merged with the inner demon, and completely fell into incurable. Alas!"

He had practiced for a long time and had a wide range of knowledge and experience, so he could see that the monster in front of him was actually possessed by a demon.

What saddened him was that Lu Jiuzhen was willing to become a demon in order to achieve perfect fusion, just to seek another form of breakthrough.

Because of this, the demonic energy was not visible and was concealed by Lu Jiuzhen's own magic power.

He and the carefree Cen Lao Er didn't notice it at all.

If Junior Brother Xu had not noticed the clues, Wuliu Mountain would have been plunged into a catastrophe of sect destruction, and all the cultivators, including him, would have become the devil's meal and turned into nutritious blood food.

As the evil calamity spreads, Wuliu Mountain will be left with endless infamy.

He knew how powerful the demon was, and white true fire surged from his body, so he couldn't let the demon get to him. With a few "puffs", the raging flames were extinguished in several places, and the momentum stopped.

An angry roar came from the black air: "I have practiced hard for 1,600 years just to achieve immortality. No matter if you are a demon or an immortal, I advise you that you can't stop me. Release the formation as soon as possible and let me go, so as to avoid both sides getting hurt."

Two invisible demonic auras suddenly exploded and transformed into countless human figures that pounced on the two.

A golden light shot out from Xu Yuanchang's body, sweeping away all the black air from the human figures. As he slashed with his fingers, a golden light flashed out of thin air like a sword and slashed towards the black air.

"Puff", the black air dissipated and the demon disappeared.

Cao Wanxin was controlling the formation in the hall, and when he felt a slight fluctuation, he decisively retracted it.

"Sleepy!"

An invisible object was confined in a corner by the formation, forcing it to reveal its hideous true form. Countless black tentacles spread out, corroding the flashing light formation and causing it to vibrate violently.

Xu Yuanchang sent a message to Senior Brother Cao, and suddenly shouted, "Release!"

He pinched his right hand like a seal and slashed at the demon, using illusion to enter the sword and connect heaven and earth. The demon that had just been released from the formation let out a strange and shrill scream, and was hit by the illusion of floating life, dispersing into a ball of violently fluctuating demonic energy.

"You guys forced me to do this."

With a resentful whisper, the black light suddenly expanded and exploded.

Cao Wanxin was prepared and pulled Junior Brother Xu out of the hall a little ahead of time with the help of the power of the formation.

"Bang", the whole hall was riddled with holes in an instant, and countless black air drilled out of the holes like living things, twisting and turning. Some of them disappeared into the air, and some turned into human figures, in all kinds of strange shapes.

A silver ray descended from the sky, covering all the evil spirits that had no time to escape.

Xu Yuanchang didn't expect that the newly-advanced seventh-level demon would be so difficult to deal with. He exploded after a disagreement. He didn't dare to let the demonic energy escape at all, so he used the Magic Glass Mirror, not caring about the possibility of damaging the treasure.

Cao Wanxin used an array device to quickly control the Xiliu Mountain protection array to close and set up layers of protection outside the silver light shield.

"What exploded was Lu Jiuzhen's body. We must not let the demonic energy leak out. I will mobilize the entire mountain gate formation to encircle the demon. Junior Brother Xu, you use the Yang Fire to burn it."

"understand!"

Xu Yuanchang abandoned the Yin Fire and released the red Yang Fire to wreak havoc on the silver light shield.

Hearing a shrill howl, the silver light shield began to bulge out all over, and then it returned to normal. Xu Yuanchang's face changed slightly. He was worried that the magic mirror would be broken by the devil, so he quickly urged the divine light of creation to sweep the inside of the light shield. He tried to capture the slippery devil with the golden light, entangle it and absorb it fiercely.

Every time I felt like I was about to entangle the devil, I let it disperse and escape to the other side.

For the first time, he realized the old saying "It's easy to defeat someone of the same level, but it's extremely difficult to kill someone of the same level." In the past, he had treasures that could restrain his opponents, or he happened to have the means to deal with them, and he could almost always kill them.

Facing a strange demon, his yang fire and divine light of creation could cause damage to the demon.

But it is far from enough to kill him.

It can only be gradually erased.

Cao Wanxin took out a dark red pagoda, sprayed a mouthful of blood on the pagoda, and quickly refined the treasure. He had no other good way to deal with the demon.

Wuliushan had the misfortune to encounter a demonic disaster that occurs only once in thousands of years.

He must suppress the devil at all costs.

Xu Yuanchang continued to activate the divine light of creation, gradually eliminating the power of the fleeing demon.

"Bang", with a loud bang, the silver light shield could not withstand the continuous attacks and a hole as big as a fist was broken. Heartbroken, Xu Yuanchang hit the hole again with the Fu Sheng Zhan.

The demon that had just escaped from the invisible world was the first to be hit. It was twisted and revealed its true form. It howled miserably while holding its huge ball-like head with countless tentacles.

"Xu Yuanchang... you wait for me..."

The demon hated the human being in front of him who could hurt him continuously and ruined his plan of slowly lurking and devouring the weak to strengthen himself. It was really abominable.

Cao Wanxin had already seen that the treasure thrown out by Junior Brother Xu lacked yang energy and was relatively yin and illusory, not enough to trap the seventh-level demon.

He finished refining the pagoda in his hand, threw it downwards, formed seals with his hands, and shouted: "'The mixed qi of heaven and earth gives rise to all kinds of evil spirits. Always use the righteous way to eliminate the evil spirits', suppress!"

The pagoda emitted seven blood-red lights, which covered the demon who tried to disperse when he saw the situation was not good.

The demon changed into various forms and let out terrifying screams. It sensed a huge crisis. The treasure thrown by the old man could completely restrain its ability to escape.

"Cao Wanxin, I have cultivated for more than 1,600 years. Once I explode, the Wuliu Mountain roots will not be able to withstand it. Do you really want to fight to the point of both sides suffering losses?"

"You can't threaten me, so... take it from me!"

Cao Wanxin made hand gestures with both hands and flew like a flying bird. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood towards the pagoda, and a red light became brighter.

The demon howled and struggled, trapped by seven beams of light and becoming smaller and smaller, unwilling to be taken into the bottom of the pagoda.

"I...will come out...wait for me!"

Cao Wanxin's face turned slightly pale. He took the pagoda in his hand with a complicated expression.

The huge commotion that occurred here had already alarmed countless monks, and they all flew over here.

"Junior brother, please help cover up the matter of Lu Jiuzhen's possession of the devil."

Cao Wanxin looked at Junior Brother Xu who had put away the silver mirror. Family disgrace should not be made public. He really didn't want Lu Jiuzhen, who had worked diligently for the sect for a thousand years, to have a tarnished reputation after his death.

Xu Yuanchang gently stroked the mirror with a small black hole. This treasure was very troublesome to repair. He said, "Brother, how do you explain the death of Brother Lu? Brother Lu's lineage holds a lot of power."

He added, "Brother, how long can the treasure in your hand suppress the demon? It's not that I don't trust you, but if something goes wrong, I'm not in the sect, and the consequences will be disastrous. Please think twice."

Today we will combine our strength and take advantage of the sect's formation.

It took a lot of effort to suppress the devil.

He was rather cautious in considering things. Compared with the safety of the sect, things like reputation and family scandals were not worth mentioning.

Cao Wanxin fell into deep thought. After a while, a look of pain appeared on his face, which then turned into a bitter smile.

"I almost lost my mind. I will listen to you."
