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

Chapter 643 The Great Demon Standing at the Pinnacle! Heaven and Earth Laws, Five Heavenly Flames!

A soul, or rather, a beautiful fox spirit close to a ghost cultivator, actually ended up in the mansion of Zhong Kui's reincarnation.

At first glance, this seems like a mouse sidling up to a cat.

But ironically, this incredible thing actually happened right before Luo Fu's eyes.

Of course, this is also related to the great changes that happened a hundred years ago.

The great upheaval a hundred years ago truly reversed the order of the Three Realms. With the decline of Tao and the rise of demons, although the gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms still possessed their cultivation, their power was declining. Moreover, the authority over the world represented by their divine positions was also rapidly diminishing.

This is why, in just a hundred years, some of the gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms who have relinquished their divine positions have even reincarnated several times.

Gods and Buddhas in the Three Realms who are unlucky may even reincarnate more than ten times.

Keep in mind, this was ancient times. A thirty-year-old could call himself an old man, and a seventy-year-old was considered ancient.

More importantly, not all reincarnated gods and Buddhas are reborn as humans. Some are reborn as beings in the three lower realms of the six realms of existence. The unlucky ones may even be reborn as snakes, insects, rats, or ants, and their lifespan will be even shorter, a hundred years, a few months, or even a lifetime for some beings.

The Prince of Jiangdu, who is the reincarnation of Zhong Kui, is clearly quite lucky.

Although he had reincarnated more than once, at least he was born as a human in this life, and was even reborn into a royal family. He directly inherited the title of royal prince.

But he was targeted by the Nine-Tailed Fox, and it's hard to say whether he was lucky or unlucky.

The Nine-Tailed Fox is a ghost cultivator. If you are targeted by it, even if you have a jade slip with your true nature and spirit imprinted on it, you will not be at risk of complete death and dissipation of your soul. However, if you are swallowed by the Nine-Tailed Fox, it means that your soul will never have the chance to be reincarnated again.

Unless we can wait until the world returns to normal, and with the help of a jade slip like the Investiture of the Gods in the Three Realms, our true nature and spirit can be guided back to our divine positions, then it would be like starting all over again.

The true nature and spirit are the original spiritual light of all sentient beings at the beginning of their birth, which is also known in Buddhism as the relics that are neither increased nor decreased, neither defiled nor pure, neither born nor destroyed.

Its ignorance and lack of awareness are neither innate nor acquired.

The self-awareness of all living beings gradually grows from this innate radiance.

If his soul is truly devoured, then even if he makes a comeback with the help of the jade slip, the one who returns will no longer be Zhong Kui.

The Jiangdu Prince, who was the reincarnation of Zhong Kui, immediately showed joy the moment Xia Bing acknowledged his identity.

"Gentlemen, I am grateful for your kindness. That heart-digger demon has harmed several people in my Jiangdu City. I implore you to take action and rid my Jiangdu City of this scourge, so that the people may have a bright and clear world."

Don't be fooled by the so-called heart-draining demon; it only killed a few civilians in Jiangdu City.

But for sparsely populated border areas, even a few adults represent a significant loss.

Jiangdu, a city in name only, actually has a population that, when combined, might not even be as large as that of a desolate small county town in Luofu's previous life.

Even as a prince, this Prince of Jiangdu could not bear a greater loss.

On the one hand, adults are the strong labor force, and they are the foundation of Jiangdu City in terms of production and other aspects. On the other hand, the heart-digger demon has committed a series of crimes in a short period of time, which has made the entire Jiangdu City panic.

Even for the purpose of maintaining stability, the Prince of Jiangdu must recruit extraordinary people as soon as possible to deal with the heart-digger demon.

Although Jiangdu City has a small population, it is a vital route for merchants traveling between the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

The appearance of a heart-stealing demon has caused widespread panic, and the economic losses alone are enough to make people feel the pinch.

Although Luo Fu was 80% certain that the Nine-Tailed Fox was still hiding in the Jiangdu Prince's mansion, he did not reveal it directly at this moment.

On the one hand, since this Prince of Jiangdu brought Xiaowei to his residence, unless he produces clear evidence, he may not easily believe that Xiaowei is the Heart-Digging Demon.

To put it bluntly, Luo Fu was worried that the Prince of Jiangdu was a simp for Xiao Wei, the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Indeed, although the Nine-Tailed Fox is not a true fox demon, as a ghost cultivator with a fox soul, she also possesses some of the bewitching skills of a fox demon.

Especially with the aid of illusion magic, the Nine-Tailed Fox possesses the power to shake people's hearts with every move she makes.

Look at that lizard demon Xiao Yi, so bewitched by the Nine-Tailed Fox that he doesn't even care about his own life.

It's hard to guarantee that the Jiangdu Prince, who is supposedly the reincarnation of Zhong Kui, hasn't also become Xiao Wei's devoted follower.

Luo Fu may not know about other things, but there is one thing he is very clear about: someone who might become a sycophant should at most be subtly pointed out, and even then, one must be careful not to go too far.

Because simps have absolutely no normal values.

This Prince of Jiangdu is indeed putting on an act of serving the country and its people.

But once he learns Xiao Wei's identity, who knows what decision he will make?

Whether it's being a "simp" or someone obsessed with love, they are beings who are completely incapable of empathy with normal human thinking and logic.

Rather than trying to persuade the Prince of Jiangdu, Luo Fu preferred to find the Nine-Tailed Fox directly and capture her decisively.

As for killing the Nine-Tailed Fox, that's for sure, but before that, Luo Fu needs to figure out how this Nine-Tailed Fox so easily found the reincarnation of the gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms.

At the sincere invitation of the Prince of Jiangdu, Luo Fu, Xia Bing, Pang Yong, and others went to the Prince of Jiangdu's residence.

Meanwhile, outside Jiangdu City.

A figure suddenly crashed through the ground, and a weary head emerged.

I was so dizzy and disoriented that I had to figure out which way to go.

The figure, still mostly buried underground, glanced in the direction of Jiangdu City, and its eyes immediately lit up. "Finally found it," it said.

As he spoke, he laboriously pulled out a map from his person. After gesturing with his fingers for a moment, the figure said confidently, "Jiangdu City is a necessary route between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. Senior will certainly not miss this place."

That's right!

The figure that emerged from underground was none other than Zhi Qiu Yi Ye, who had been chasing after Luo Fu.

It must be admitted that his method of escaping underground is indeed remarkable, and the Kunlun Sect's tradition is indeed unique.

Clearly, in terms of cultivation and magical power, they are far inferior to Luofu.

However, thanks to the map, he traveled in a straight line underground and arrived in Jiangxia less than a day later than Luofu.

With a leap, he pulled his body out of the ground.

As he brushed the dust off his body from burrowing underground, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye's expression suddenly changed. After sniffing the air, his eyes narrowed, and he shouted sharply, "There's demonic energy! What a bold monster! Are the monsters in the Western Regions so rampant?"

He suddenly formed a hand seal in front of him.

A single leaf falls in autumn, and a clear incantation is uttered.

"Ma li ma li hong! Feng huo lei dian ling!"

His figure suddenly flashed and disappeared from the spot.

It only takes a moment.

A single autumn leaf has already crossed the city wall and entered Jiangdu City.

Before him stood a man who was beginning to take human form, with obvious scale marks on his face, holding a fresh heart in his hand. Before this monster lay a corpse that had lost its heart, still warm from death.

"You audacious fiend!" Zhi Qiu Yi Ye's eyes widened in fury as she roared, instantly producing a talisman in her hand. "Heaven and Earth Spirit, Heavenly Dipper Five Separation Fire."

boom.

The talisman exploded instantly at Zhi Qiu Yi Ye's fingertip, turning into a blazing fire that then flew towards the lizard demon Xiao Yi like a cannonball.

It can only be said that Xiao Yi was indeed a bit unlucky.

Because he was busy digging out Xiaowei's heart, he happened to run into Zhi Qiu Yiye, who had come to Jiangdu City.

Before this, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye had grown up in the Kunlun Mountains and had never seen the sins of the human world.

In his mind, although there are monsters in the human world, most of them are like those in folk tales, an impression that has been beautified.

But now, Xiao Yi's act of digging out a person's heart while still alive is really too much of a challenge to Zhi Qiu Yi Ye's understanding.

Faced with such a mind-blowing evil, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye's attack was ruthless and deadly.

After a talisman flew over, before Xiao Yi could be ignited by the blazing flames...

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye then took out another talisman.

"Heaven and Earth's laws and spirits, thunder, wind and thunder, earth-shaking command!"

The sound of thunder instantly resounded throughout the entire city of Jiangdu.

Luo Fu, who had just arrived at the Prince's Palace with the Prince of Jiangdu, couldn't help but look in the direction from which the thunder came.

Xia Bing was so nervous that she immediately drew her weapon.

With a hint of suspicion in his expression, he looked in the direction of the thunder and said, "What's that noise? Could it be that there are other monsters in Jiangdu City?"

Unlike Xia Bing and the others, Luo Fu immediately realized that the guy who had caused the ruckus was none other than Zhi Qiu Yi Ye.

Although I don't know how Zhi Qiu Yi Ye arrived in Jiangdu City so quickly.

But the lizard demon crashed into him, so he definitely wouldn't survive.

Although Zhi Qiu Yi Ye is a greenhorn who has just started out, his strength is genuine.

If he hadn't run into Luofu, Zhi Qiu Yiye had traveled the world and had only ever suffered losses against Zuo Qianhu and Pudu Cihang.

Pudu Cihang is a great demon who has reached the pinnacle of this world.

Zuo Qianhu, on the other hand, has reached the pinnacle of mortal skill. His martial arts are so strong that even with one arm missing, he was able to kill several monsters.

Not everyone has the strength of Commander Zuo.

Moreover, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye and Zuo Qian Hu are at best evenly matched. Zhi Qiu Yi Ye is only temporarily at a disadvantage against Zuo Qian Hu. If the battle is prolonged, Zuo Qian Hu may not be a match for Zhi Qiu Yi Ye, given his Kunlun inheritance.

In the remote borderlands of the Western Regions, the lizard demon Xiao Yi was still able to act arrogantly.

Now that he's run into Zhi Qiu Yi Ye, he's truly doomed.

Fire first, then thunder!

Under the combined attack of two spells, the lizard demon Xiao Yi had almost no chance to fight back and was reduced to ashes by Zhi Qiu Yi Ye's spell, his soul completely scattered.

Inside the Prince of Jiangdu's residence.

Just as she was tenderly stroking the wound on her chest where the Luo Fu Flying Sword had pierced her, the Nine Heavens Fox suddenly widened her eyes and looked in astonishment toward the direction of the thunder.

"Xiao Yi."

The moment the words fell, Xiaowei clearly sensed that Xiaoyi was dead, his soul completely scattered.

He originally thought that even if he was not good enough, he could still rule as king for a period of time in the remote western regions.

Unexpectedly, he ran into the descendant of the demon slayer who had once severed one of his tails, as well as Luo Fu, a cultivator from the Central Plains, and now an unknown righteous cultivator has appeared.

Faced with this series of unexpected events, Xiaowei was completely flustered.

They even forgot that they were currently in the Jiangdu Prince's Mansion.

Sensing Xiao Yi's death, the unease and pain in her heart caused her to let out a melodious wail.

A sharp shriek rang out, and chaos erupted within the Jiangdu Prince's mansion.

Xia Bing, who was outside the door, immediately realized that the Nine-Tailed Fox they were looking for was actually in the Jiangdu Prince's Mansion, because the tail of the Nine-Tailed Fox that she always carried was now throbbing violently, as if it couldn't wait to rush out and return to its master.

"This is really... lively," Luo Fu couldn't help but remark.

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye, who had just killed the lizard demon Xiao Yi with Kunlun magic, had not yet calmed down when she sensed a huge demonic aura coming from the direction of the Jiangdu Prince's Mansion.

With a sharp look in her eyes, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye laughed angrily, "Fine! Fine! I never thought that the monsters in this world would be so arrogant, daring to provoke me."

Without a second thought, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye began chanting an incantation, her figure gracefully drifting towards the Jiangdu Prince's Mansion.

Inside the Jiangdu Prince's mansion, Xiao Wei also sensed that the cultivator who killed the lizard demon was heading straight for her.

At this moment, Xiaowei, whose mind was filled with anger, didn't want to play any more games.

With a sharp shriek, an incredibly large, illusory nine-tailed fox took over most of the Jiangdu County Prince's Mansion. The nine-tailed fox was so large that it could be clearly seen from hundreds of meters away.

Such a commotion left the Prince of Jiangdu, who had just brought Luo Fu and the others to the gate of the mansion, completely stunned.

To his utter astonishment, he never dreamed that the heart-reaping demon he had been searching for was hiding in his own mansion.

However, at this time, the Prince of Jiangdu was more concerned about the safety of his wife.

"Pei Rong".

With a startled cry, the Prince of Jiangdu, who was eager to rush into the mansion, was blocked by Pang Yong, who extended his Guan Dao (a type of halberd).

"Are you crazy? This is a monster!"

"Pei Rong! My wife is in the mansion! Save her! I beg you all, please save my wife!" The panicked Prince of Jiangdu hurriedly sought help from Luo Fu and the others.

However, Luo Fu, Xia Bing, and the others have not yet responded.

A clear, melodious voice reciting a spell came over first.

"What a monster! How dare you provoke me? You mere fox! Heaven and Earth's laws and spirits, the Demon-Expelling Decree!"

Countless origami cranes suddenly flew out from the rushing Zhi Qiu Yi Ye and flew straight into the mansion.

The next moment, visible to the naked eye, these origami cranes exploded with a loud bang after flying around the big fox.

Caught off guard, the nine-tailed fox screamed in agony as it was bombarded by the origami cranes.

"Haha... Now you know how powerful my Kunlun Sect is, right?" Zhi Qiu Yi Ye said smugly, but the next moment, he saw Luo Fu standing in front of the Jiangdu Prince's Mansion.
