Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 272 A Mystery

The five of them walked south along the stream. Jin Xingzi said to the ugly man, "This Yueshang Queen is extremely tyrannical. It's not like we can't defeat them. Why should we endure it?"

The ugly man was naturally Wuzhan. Just as Mengya expected, Wuzhan who followed Li Manfang back to Yuechang was actually Hua Qingyue in disguise.

Wuzhan said: "If we fight with Yueshang, Princess Mengya will have a hard time. Besides, Queen Yueshang has a high level of cultivation and has many people. We are injured and it will be difficult for us to retreat unscathed. Sometimes it is necessary to be patient and give her enough face."

Yunchu said: "If she finds out that the master is Hua Qingyue in disguise, will she chase after him?"

"Girl, do you still think the Queen hasn't figured it out?"

Yunchu asked in surprise, "If she knew about it, why would she let us go?"

"She is not sure that she can defeat me, but she just wants to maintain the dignity of a king and give an explanation to the people of Yuechang. This is the best outcome for us to do."

Yunchu smiled and said, "It seems that Hua Qingyue needs to pretend to be a gentleman and stay in Yuechang all day as a consort!"

Wuzhan said: "This won't be a problem for her. Maybe she will escape before she even reaches Yuechang."

Even as they were talking, two people blocked their way. They were both wearing red Taoist robes inlaid with fire cloud patterns that sparkled with golden light. One of them was tall, with a long mustache and a stern face. The other had a square face, thick eyebrows, and sharp eyes. It was clear from their temperament that these two were definitely not ordinary people. Wuzhan and the others knew they could not escape.

The long-faced man stroked his beard, stared at Ling Kongzi and said, "I didn't expect that your golden-winged eagle could actually cultivate into a human form. It's really rare. If you don't want to die, tell me the truth about what happened in the valley last night."

Ling Kongzi asked: "What do you want to know?"

"Do you know who used the soul power?"

"Soul power, what is soul power? I have never heard of it before."

The long-faced man said in a deep voice: "Soul power is the power of the soul, similar to the demonic energy in your body, but its power is far greater than demonic power."

Ling Kongzi said: "The soul still has power, I have never heard of it before!"

The square-faced man said impatiently, "Stop pretending to be confused. If you don't tell the truth, humph, none of you will survive!"

Wuzhan said, "Can you two Taoist masters explain it more clearly? We really don't know what the soul power you are talking about is. It is really unfair to kill us like this."

The long-faced man and the square-faced man exchanged glances. The former stretched out his palm. "Huh..." A pure red flame appeared in the palm of his hand. It was only as thick as a hair, winding and jumping, which was particularly dazzling. "It is in this form, but everyone's soul and realm are different, so the color is also different."

Jin Xingzi chuckled and said, "I understand now that you put it that way. I can do it, too!" 'Huh...' Flames also ignited on Jin Xingzi's palms, and the flames were even higher.

The long-faced man snorted coldly, "You only have the 'Red Refining Flame'. Although it is rare, it can't be compared with this soul power!" With a wave of his hand, the flame flew towards Jin Xingzi.

Jin Xingzi was about to make a move to resist, but was pulled away by Wuzhan. The flame flashed past Jin Xingzi's cheek, and with a "bang", gravel flew everywhere and a ten-foot-deep hole was blown open in the stone wall.

Jin Xingzi was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat. He did not expect that the flames would have such a strong destructive power. If he used the divine fire to resist it, the flames would break through the divine fire and directly penetrate his body. Fortunately, his master rescued him in time. However, he knew in his heart that this kind of soul power was acquired through practice, and was far from his master's soul of the world. It was just that his master's realm was lower and he could not fully control the soul power in his body.

The long-faced man snorted coldly, "It should be clear now. Tell me, who did you see using the same power last night?"

Ling Kongzi said: "Indeed, I have seen him, but unfortunately he is dead!"

The long-faced man's face froze and he asked, "Who is he and how did he die?"

Ling Kongzi said: "His name is Shishui, he is a rebel in Huangshan. He used this power to summon the Azure Dragon, but was later attacked by the Azure Dragon and became a demon. We killed him together."

The two were skeptical, and the square-faced man asked, "Where is his body?"

Ling Kongzi said: "It was washed into the cliff by the current and cannot be found."

The long-faced man said grimly: "Nonsense, how can you people fight against that kind of power? It seems that you still don't tell the truth, so you can't blame me for killing you." As he said that, he showed a long sword. The two transformed monsters were rare in the lower world, and they had the divine fire. If you collect the souls and seize the divine fire, it would be better than practicing for many years.

Wuzhan said calmly: "If the Taoist wants to kill us, we are naturally powerless to resist, but I hope that the Taoist can let us die with a clear understanding. Why do we need to find someone who uses soul power?"

The long-faced man said, "That kind of power should not exist for you ants in the lower world. It is evil and cannot be tolerated by heaven!"

Wuzhan said: "I see, it seems that you are from the heaven, but I don't know how you found out that someone in the lower world has used soul power?"

The square-faced man's face darkened and he said, "You don't need to know this!" He slowly drew out his long sword, and with a "teng" sound, the long sword burst into flames. This kind of flame was condensed by true energy, not soul power. Soul power was not needed to deal with these people. Even so, the true energy of this level was definitely not comparable to that of the practitioners in the lower world. When Wuzhan used his soul power last night, he knew that such trouble would arise, but it was slightly better than expected. It seemed that the Heavenly Court only sent these two immortals to the lower world to investigate the people who used soul power and eliminate them. They didn't know what kind of soul power he used. In other words, the Heavenly Court had not yet discovered that he was still alive.

But now these two immortals wanted to kill them, and he could only kill them by using his soul power again. Killing Shishui was already a great effort, and now he had to kill two immortals who were at a higher level than Shishui. What was even more difficult was that he needed to kill both immortals in an instant. If one of them escaped, he would be in great danger. Wuzhan had no choice.

Wuzhan has already grasped the five-colored stone in his hand and hidden it in his sleeve. The three disciples are also ready. As soon as the opponent makes a move, the three of them will kill the same immortal.

At this moment, a voice like a huge bell suddenly came from the sky, shaking the leaves rustling, "How dare you two go down to the mortal world without permission!"

The two immortals were shocked when they heard this, and looked up, only to see several silver lights falling down. The leader had wings on his back, wore silver armor, held a big axe, and stared at them with tiger eyes. The people behind him were all wearing silver armor.

Wuzhan had seen this person in Mount Li. He was the Sun-roaming God of Heaven. Could it be that his soul power alarmed Heaven?
The long-faced man bowed respectfully and said, "When we were practicing last night, we sensed that someone here had used soul power, so we hurried down to the mortal world to investigate, but we didn't have time to report to the gods." Naturally, he didn't dare to reveal who had secretly sent them down to the mortal world.

The Sun Travel God said angrily: "Do you, the Fire Department, want to take over our Patrol Department?"

“I don’t dare to do that!”

"Who gave you the right to go to the lower world at will?"

The square-faced man said, "The little god knows his mistake. We originally wanted to find this person and then report back to the Holy God."

The Sun God laughed and said, "There was a big battle here last night. Can't I see what you did?"

The two men knelt down in fear and said, "Forgive us, God. We did find someone using soul power here last night. It was just by chance..."

"Nonsense, if someone in the lower realm used soul power, how could Night Wanderer not know about it? Do you think he failed in his duty?"

The two of them said quickly: "We dare not, we dare not, but...but the God can ask them, they killed the person who used the soul power!"

Wuzhan knelt down and said, "We did kill someone, but we don't know whether that person used soul power. You two forced us to say it. I hope the great god can see clearly!"

When the two immortals heard this, they wanted to burn Wuzhe to ashes, but in front of the Sun God, they could only endure it.

The Sun-wandering God glanced at Wuzhan and said to the two of them, "If you are not convinced, go back to heaven and argue again. Why don't you get up and follow us!"

The two men had no choice but to stand up, raise their swords and fly up, following the Sun God, and disappear into the sky in the blink of an eye.

After they left, Wuzhe stood there and slowly closed his eyes. He felt agitated for a long time, even scared, and said to himself, "That was a close call!" If the Day Travel God had come a moment later, the result would have been hard to predict.

But why the Sun God came has become a mystery.

The three disciples were all sweating. Zhulang only then deeply realized what kind of person Wuzhan would face and what kind of path he would take. This path was not a fight with people, but a fight with the high and mighty gods. Compared with them, the world's number one swordsman was just a frog in a well. He was very fortunate to have Wuzhan as his master. Although he didn't know how far this road could go, he believed it would be exciting and heroic.

Yunchu's pretty face was as pale as snow. The scene that just happened was beyond her imagination. She actually saw the gods in heaven and was nearly killed by them.

After walking for a long time, Wuzhe stopped and turned to Yunchu and said, "We will reach the South China Sea in another hundred miles. It will be inconvenient for you to follow us, so we will say goodbye and see you later!"

Yunchu's body froze, and she thought to herself, "Finally they're going to kick me out!" Qiushui flashed with disappointment, and asked softly, "Sir, do you dislike Yunchu for being a burden to you?"

Wuzhan said: "You have seen it these days. It is very dangerous to be around us."

Yunchu said: "Yunchu is not afraid. If it weren't for you saving me, I would have been dead. As long as you don't mind, I won't blink an eye even if I die for you!"

"It's just a simple favor, don't take it to heart, girl."

Yunchu lowered her head and said sadly, "Maybe you won't take it to heart, but you have saved my life. How can I forget it?" She paused and said, "If you chase me away, maybe Master and the others will find me soon, and I will die. Since you despise me, I'd better die now to avoid being tortured."

Jin Xingzi advised, "Yunchu has nowhere to go. Her life is so pitiful. Can Master just be so cruel as to abandon her? Do a good deed and keep her. We disciples are careless and don't think of many things. Master really needs someone as good and careful as Yunchu to take care of him."

Ling Kongzi said: "Da Changya is right, let's keep her. As for those dangers, we disciples all know about them. We all follow our master and have never been afraid."

Wuzhan knew that these two disciples had long been 'bribed' by Yunchu's delicacies, and naturally were reluctant to let Yunchu go. He turned around and said, "Since you want to keep Miss Yunchu, you will be responsible for her from now on." In fact, it was difficult for him to refuse Yunchu's request, as he was always too soft-hearted towards women.
