Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 602 A Century of Dramatic Change in the Xuanmen Sect! Unfathomable and terrifying demons roam the world!
Seeing that his own trickery could not fool Luofu in the slightest.

The Taoist priest felt a sudden sense of fear.

He's just using his deceptive skills to cheat and swindle people everywhere.

To be honest, while I wouldn't say they have absolutely no real esoteric cultivation, they are certainly better than nothing.

Such methods would normally be invincible against others, but against Luo Fu, they would obviously be laughable.

Before the Taoist could even consider retreating, Luo Fu preemptively struck.

Completely ignoring the seemingly intimidating thunder and lightning, Luo Fu flashed forward like a tiger descending a mountain, charging straight at the Taoist. With just one punch, he sent the Taoist flying backward with a scream, crashing heavily to the ground.

After rolling around on the ground several times, the Taoist, his face bruised and swollen, looked at Luo Fu and loudly cried out for help to those around him, "Senior brother, save me!"

"There are more helpers?" Luo Fu raised an eyebrow, but instead of making a move, he waited quietly.

Having been startled by Zen Master Baiyun, Luo Fu lacked a clear understanding of the extraordinary system of this world.

The reason Luo Fu attacked this Taoist priest wasn't so much out of chivalry or a desire to right wrongs, but rather out of curiosity and a desire to learn the origins of this world's extraordinary system from the priest.

Although I had learned a lot of common knowledge from Zhu Xiaolian, Zhu Xiaolian was just a Confucian disciple, a scholar who only studied the classics.

His understanding of the extraordinary system was not as good as Luo Fu's; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily fooled by Luo Fu, and would have regarded Luo Fu as a virtuous monk, eagerly traveling with Luo Fu all the way.

This Taoist priest, though lacking in cultivation and relying solely on illusions to deceive people, was the only person Luofu encountered besides Zen Master Baiyun who truly possessed extraordinary power.

During this time, I traveled with Zhu Xiaolian for several months, and we did not encounter another person with extraordinary powers in Luofu. We did not even encounter any demons or monsters, let alone people.

In Zhu Xiaolian's view, this must mean that he was traveling with Luofu, a high-ranking monk who had returned to secular life.

But Luo Fu was frustrated.

Without disturbing the Taoist, Luo Fu watched as he sought help from his so-called senior brother, waiting for the other party to come to him.

In just a few breaths, a loud sound came from afar.

"The heavens are vast and the earth is teeming with life, my Dao is flourishing day by day, junior brother, do not panic, your elder brother is coming."

Following the sound, an old Taoist priest holding a whisk, accompanied by two boys, was moving at great speed toward Luofu.

However, just as he was about to rush over, the old Taoist showed no sign of slowing down.

The two boys quickly cried out, "Master, you're wrong! We're about to run into our Uncle!"

His steps abruptly halted, and his body twisted in mid-air, stopping abruptly not far from Luo Fu. He struck a pose, flicked his whisk, and said, "I am the blind Taoist, Quanzhenzi. Who are you, and why are you making things difficult for my junior brother?"

This old Taoist priest was clearly quite old, but his blinking eyes were pure white, with no trace of black in them.

Seeing the Taoist priest in front of him, Luo Fu couldn't help but feel strange.

He had already recognized the Taoist priest in front of him as none other than Quan Zhenzi, the blind Taoist priest who would one day cause trouble for the Green Snake and White Snake in Qiantang, repeatedly trying to subdue demons and monsters, only to suffer a crushing defeat.

Compared to his junior brother, the blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi was clearly quite skilled.

Of course, he couldn't compare to the Zen Master Fahai, but he was still a typical example of upholding the righteous path. When faced with demons and monsters, he truly dared to confront them.

Being unable to win is one thing, but daring to go up is another.

The blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi's style was far superior to that of his junior brother, who relied solely on illusions and bullied the weak.

"I am Luo Fu." If at first he only wanted to find out about the world's extraordinary system from the Taoist who cheated the farmer out of pears, then now that he has seen Quan Zhenzi, Luo Fu has changed his mind.

After all, one is a swindler who only uses tricks to cheat and deceive, while the other is a Taoist priest who dares to confront demons and monsters.

It goes without saying which of the two could provide Luofu with more accurate intelligence.

After a slight pause, Luo Fu said, "Master Quanzhenzi, it is not that I want to make things difficult for your junior brother, but that your junior brother is bullying the weak by relying on his illusionary skills."

His expression shifted several times before the blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi said, "My junior brother may indeed have been in the wrong, but why are you so relentless?"

Luo Fu suddenly realized.

He seems to have misjudged the world.

You must understand, this world is a world where black and white are reversed, and good and evil are indistinguishable.

While demons and monsters roamed freely, even the cultivators seemed extremely abnormal.

Just like the blind Taoist Quanzhenzi in front of us, if you can't beat him, you have to fight him head-on. From another perspective, this might not be a different kind of egoism. Besides Quanzhenzi, other righteous cultivators like Fahai also appear to be extremely extreme in their personalities.

This is not a normal world at all. Ordinary people may not be affected too deeply, but that's only for now. The end of the dynasty is not just affecting the court and the world of mortals, but the entire Three Realms. It seems to have been affected by some kind of force and has become distorted.

Having readjusted his mindset, Luo Fu said, "Quan Zhenzi, it seems you know what kind of person your junior brother is. There's no point in saying more. Let me see what you, as the senior brother, are capable of in handling this conflict."

"What an arrogant fellow! Since you don't know what's good for you, then I'll have to offend you!" The blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi, who was already in the wrong, simply prepared to take action.

With a flick of his left hand, he quickly pulled out a handful of copper bells from his robes with his right and scattered them toward Luofu.

Accompanied by the chaotic sound of copper bells, the golden copper bells were scattered all around Luofu in an instant.

The blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi waved his whisk with his left hand and shook the Three Pure Ones Bell with his right.

The clear sound of bells rang out, and the copper bells on the ground immediately began to ring out in unison, as if manipulated.

The chaotic ringing made one feel dizzy instantly.

This approach has clearly deviated from the right path.

However, such methods are only suitable for dealing with ordinary people and common demons and monsters; they are clearly insufficient to deal with Luofu.

Luo Fu merely frowned slightly, and then stomped his foot.

With a series of crackling sounds, the scattered copper bells shattered completely.

As if struck by a backlash, the blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi stumbled, and the Sanqing Bell in his hand exploded, leaving only a short handle.

He staggered back several steps, but finally regained his balance with the help of two children.

The blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi said solemnly, "I underestimated you, but since you are so unforgiving after gaining power, don't blame me for bullying you with numbers."

The blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi is indeed quite skilled. Although his methods mostly rely heavily on props and his various flashy abilities are utterly ineffective against the overwhelming power of his cultivation.

But it also depends on who you're dealing with.

Ordinary demons and monsters are no match for Quan Zhenzi, the blind Taoist priest.

Accompanied by a loud shout from Quan Zhenzi, the blind man.

The two boys immediately leaped into the air and joined forces with Quan Zhenzi to attack Luofu.

Faced with the three-person attack, Luo Fu remained calm and clapped his hands together.

The next moment, a tender sprout instantly emerged from beneath the earth. Then, as if time had sped up, the sprout instantly grew into an exceptionally strong tree branch, which, like a serpent, bound the blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi, his two attendants, and his junior brother beside him together.

"What...what kind of sorcery is this?" the blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi exclaimed in horror.

Indeed, in the perception of the blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi, the method that Luo Fu was currently using was indeed demonic magic.

This is understandable, as Luo Fu is currently using a Wood Release ninjutsu from the ninja world.

Unfortunately, before this, Luo Fu was just a novice monk in a temple who knew nothing about esoteric arts except for a mediocre grasp of Arhat Fist.

His ability to use ninjutsu now is entirely due to the power he shared with others, which he explored on his own after localization.

However, one thing must never be forgotten: the origin of ninjutsu in the ninja world was not specifically created for humans, but rather belongs to the Divine Tree.

In this world, the divine tree is essentially a demon.

It even possesses a very strong demonic aura.

Even compared to the Tree Demon Granny, Luo Fu appears to be more authentic on the path of demons.

Raising an eyebrow, Luo Fu had no interest in explaining to the blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi.

With a glance around, Luo Fu leaped away, heading out of town.

The four blind Taoist priests, bound by tree branches, then followed Luo Fu's direction and quickly disappeared into the town.

As Luo Fu and the others left, the people who had been hiding earlier mustered their courage and returned to the streets.

After leading Quan Zhenzi and the others out of the town, Luo Fu randomly found a deserted area.

They tied the four people up and began questioning them about the state of the world.

In the mind of the blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi, Luo Fu had now become a terrifying demon who was unfathomable and walked the world. When faced with Luo Fu's questioning, there was no need for torture. He answered whatever Luo Fu asked without hesitation.

Through the blind Taoist Quanzhenzi, Luo Fu also learned that although this blind Taoist called himself Quanzhenzi, he was actually a self-taught practitioner who had learned the magic of the Maoshan School.

That's right, the guy with the Taoist name Quanzhenzi actually studied Maoshan magic.

You should know that Maoshan is one of the Three Mountains of Talismans, and it is a legitimate Zhengyi sect.

Of course, in Luo Fu's view, the school of magic that Quan Zhenzi learned was not the key point; the key point was his understanding of the extraordinary system of this world.

This is what Luofu urgently needs to understand right now.

Unfortunately, Quanzhenzi didn't know much about the specifics of this world. However, according to the Maoshan Sect's inheritance he had received, about a hundred years ago, all the sects of Xuanmen, whether Buddhist or Taoist, seemed to have suffered an unknown catastrophe.

This catastrophe caused the prestige of the Xuanmen sect to plummet. For nearly a hundred years, demons roamed the world, and there were very few people who could subdue and exorcise them.

Otherwise, a mere blind Taoist practitioner with no real skills wouldn't dare to give himself the Taoist name of Quanzhenzi and claim to be from the Maoshan lineage. Of course, his methods of subduing demons and monsters are not fake, but at most he can only deal with weak demons and monsters.

The reason he was passing through this place was because he was invited to an abandoned manor in the neighboring mountains to capture evil spirits.

As for the blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi and this charlatan who runs rampant with his illusionary tricks, there is actually no clear master-disciple relationship between them. They just knew each other before, and since neither of them is a legitimate successor of the Xuanmen sect, they address each other as fellow disciples.

Although he didn't learn the truth about this world from the blind Taoist Quanzhenzi, the incomplete Maoshan sect magic inheritance provided by the blind Taoist allowed Luo Fu to truly grasp some of the secrets of orthodox methods.

Putting everything else aside, the Maoshan talisman techniques provided by the blind Taoist Quanzhenzi alone were enough for Luofu to gain some insight into the true essence of this world's extraordinary system.

Don't forget that among the power shared by Luofu, there is also the inheritance of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques from that world of extraordinary beings. Using the Tongtian Talisman here is a perfect match.

In the world of supernatural beings, the Tongtian Talisman is indeed a miraculous skill. But in a world with gods and Buddhas, the Eight Extraordinary Skills are so powerful that calling them techniques that bring disaster would be an understatement.

It is important to understand that talismans are essentially made by borrowing the power of gods and Buddhas.

But unfortunately, there are no gods or Buddhas left in this world.

That's right.

After the upheaval about a hundred years ago, methods that relied on the power of gods and Buddhas, such as invoking spirits and talismans, all became empty shells, unable to exert any real power.

This is also one of the reasons why many orthodox esoteric sects eventually lost their lineage.

Luo Fu was already very satisfied that he could receive the inheritance of talismans from the blind Taoist and accelerate the localization of the power he shared.

Besides obtaining the talismanic techniques, Luo Fu was also very interested in the so-called demon mentioned by the blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi.

According to the blind man, it was a mountain manor that had been abandoned for a hundred years. In the hundred years since its abandonment, nearly three thousand lives had mysteriously disappeared in the manor. On average, two to three people would die in the manor every month.

Fortunately, the manor is not far from here.

Luo Fu, who was interested, had learned some of the orthodox Xuanmen lineage through the blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi, so of course he wouldn't let those demons and monsters go unpunished.

Luo Fu took on the task for the blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi, but instead of killing the blind Taoist and his companions, he spared their lives.

However, the Taoist who had previously used illusionary tricks to cheat even a farmer selling pears had his cultivation directly crippled by Luo Fu, to prevent him from relying on his illusionary tricks to run rampant and bully others.

They narrowly escaped from Luofu.

After the blind Taoist Quan Zhenzi arrived in Luofu, he headed towards the manor he had mentioned earlier.

The moment he escaped, he hurriedly led his two disciples and fled in the opposite direction.

They ran wildly for miles.

The two boys, panting heavily, said, "Master... please... take a rest. Since that... since that senior... has spared our lives, he shouldn't... shouldn't go back on his word."
