Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 295: Soul Sacrifice
Ye Xiaoxiang raised his eyebrows frivolously and smiled slightly, "I am not here to make trouble unreasonably, but I want to tell you why no one in the world has achieved immortality and ascended to heaven in the past eight hundred years?" There was complete silence all around, everyone listening to Ye Xiaoxiang's next words.

Ye Xiaoxiang said to everyone, "That's because the mortals in the lower world have sacrificed their souls to the Heavenly Court and cannot transcend. After death, their souls fall into nothingness and become sacrifices to the Heavenly Court."

Everyone was dumbfounded or even horrified when they heard this. You know, what these people are pursuing is immortality. If their souls cannot ascend and become sacrifices, then what they do is in vain. What is the point of practicing Taoism then?
Yun Meng stood up and said, "Saint Envoy Ye, please don't exaggerate and cause panic. If no one has become an immortal, then how come someone in your sect has become an immortal?"

Ye Xiaoxiang smiled and said, "That's what I wanted to say. Our ancestors did not participate in the war eight hundred years ago, so they naturally did not sacrifice their souls. Therefore, the souls of our descendants must be different from those of you who sacrificed. Simply put, if we can cultivate to the level of scattered immortals, our souls will leave our bodies but not dissipate when we pass the tribulation, while your souls will disintegrate and dissipate. That's why some people in my sect can pass the tribulation and become immortals."

Yun Meng said: "Nonsense, how do you know that our souls will dissipate after leaving our bodies?"

Ye Xiaoxiang said: "I think your cultivation has reached the peak of the Loose Immortal, and you are only one step away from overcoming the tribulation. But have you noticed that when you try to break through, you will be affected by an invisible gravitational force. This gravitational force is not directed in one direction, but in all directions, making you lose your mind. The stronger the vitality you use, the stronger the gravitational force will be, as if it wants to tear your soul apart?"

Yun Meng was stunned when he heard this, and frowned as he thought. It was indeed as Ye Xiaoxiang described. Especially since he had been practicing the skills on the stone wall recently, he had a deep understanding of this feeling.

Ye Xiaoxiang looked at Yun Meng and said, "If you don't answer, then I have it. I advise you not to continue, otherwise your soul will be scattered. This is the soul that was sacrificed. Even if your soul consciousness is strong, you will not cross that line. It may extend your life, but you will never escape this disaster!"

"Eight hundred years ago, it was a scam set up by the Heavenly Court to deceive the souls of Taoist sects all over the world into being included in the Investiture of the Gods. After death, they would ascend to heaven and be deified. In fact, it was not a Investiture of the Gods at all, but a container for collecting souls. When blood was dripped into it, the bloodline would be marked. Anyone with the same bloodline would be cursed, and the souls of future generations would not be freed. Think about how many people wanted to become gods at that time, almost including all the surnames in the Central Plains. This is also the reason why you can't become immortals, and those strong people who survived were not deified in the end, but were sealed in the cauldron, causing the Taoism to be lost and the decline of cultivation."

Although the sun was shining brightly, those who heard it felt their whole bodies go cold. In fact, they had heard some such rumors before, but they only regarded them as rumors and did not take them seriously. Now, after listening to Ye Xiaoxiang's explanation and thinking about it carefully, this explanation seemed very reasonable. The more reasonable it was, the more desperate they felt.

Yunchu cried out behind Wuzhan, "Is this true?" She looked at her master Wuzhan, hoping to find the answer, but Wuzhan did not say anything.

Xia Kexin held Bai Haotian's hand tightly and said nervously: "I'm so scared."

Bai Haotian said: "Don't be afraid, what she said may not be true. Don't forget, they are a demon sect. Keep listening and see what she has to say."

Luo Yuying raised her voice and asked, "Is there no way to crack it?" This was what everyone wanted to ask, and they all looked at Ye Xiaoxiang.

Ye Xiaoxiang said calmly: "There is always a way out. Of course there is. My sect has a way to break this curse."

Luo Yuying asked: "How can I teach you the method to crack it?"

“Of course, we’re joining the Against the Heaven Sect!” A voice like a huge bell shook everyone’s eardrums. When they looked over, they saw Lie Feng walking over, followed by Long Quan, Dong Shezi and others. Lie Feng continued, “I didn’t expect the Against the Heaven Sect to bring people here to act. If you keep acting, then there should be a sect that wants to quit the alliance and join the Against the Heaven Sect!”

Ye Xiaoxiang looked at Lie Feng coldly, and then glanced at Longquan behind him, guessing that he was from Xiandaoyuan. He said leisurely: "It seems that Xiandaoyuan has also come to join in the fun. Xiandaoyuan is also under the banner of deifying, and even Songshan has been recruited. Since you are here, please tell me how to make people become gods?"

Lie Feng laughed coldly, "I don't have the time to explain. Come in or not, I'm only here to take one person away. You guys want to act, so go ahead!"

When everyone heard this, they looked around, wondering who the Xiandao Academy was going to take away. When Yunchu saw the people from the Xiandao Academy appear, she couldn't help but become nervous again. She glanced at Wuzhan, but he didn't move and sat very steadily. It seemed that they were really here to observe.

Ye Xiaoxiang said, "Actually, I came here to take someone away. I wonder if the person we want to take away is the same person."

Qin Moyao looked at Wuzhan with her beautiful eyes, smiling, and said softly: "Sir, wherever you go, you are always popular!"

Yun Meng saw Lie Feng coming aggressively, and frowned and asked, "Who do you want to take away, fellow Taoist?"

Lie Feng glared at Wuzhe and pointed, "That's him!"

Ye Xiaoxiang smiled and said, "What a coincidence, we have to take him away too!"

Yun Meng was confused and obviously didn't know the inside story. She asked, "Isn't the master one of your family?"

Lie Feng said: "He is seeking death, so I came here to take him away!"

Wuzhan stood up and said, "I only work for His Majesty and have not joined the Xiandao Academy. Senior, please go back. If there is anything, we will go back to Xianyang and confront His Majesty."

Ye Xiaoxiang exclaimed, "It seems that the gentleman doesn't want to go with you. Then let's see who can take him away today."

At this time, people all around began to talk in low voices, and turned their attention to Wuzhan on the stage. Many people realized at this moment that the masked man in front of them was Mr. Li, who had recently become famous. Lie Feng shouted to Wuzhan, "Don't use the emperor's name to pressure me. I don't care about that. You have no right to do anything here. You have to leave today!" As he said that, he flew up and pounced on Wuzhan like an eagle. At the same time, the purple gold compass rotated in his hand, starlight rushed out, and the light curtain spread out like a net.

"Bang bang..." There were continuous sounds, and starlight exploded in the air. The light curtain dissipated, and countless petals flew in the air. At the same time when Lie Feng flew up, Ye Xiaoxiang flew out a Dou Xuehong to intercept Lie Feng.

The crowds around fled in all directions, and those who were closer were blown several feet away by the true qi. They had not expected that these two men would attack without saying a word, and fortunately there were no casualties.

Lie Feng shouted, "If you dare to stop me, you are seeking death!" He turned the compass and it suddenly became larger, shooting towards Ye Xiaoxiang with such momentum that the wind whistled.

Ye Xiaoxiang giggled and transformed into thousands of red snowflakes, flying all over the sky. The compass fell into the air and crashed heavily to the ground. The whole mountain shook and strong winds swept in all directions.

"You, old Taoist priest, have a bad temper. Let me ask you to calm down!" The flying petals gathered towards Liefeng like a tornado, and each petal was like a small flying knife.

Lie Feng was in the flower breeze, he set up a compass, and a golden bell appeared. The petals hit it, making a crisp sound. Lie Feng shouted, "You want to fight me with such a trivial trick!" A golden light shone brightly, and a powerful true energy burst out, sweeping away the petals.

Ye Xiaoxiang appeared not far away. She raised her jade hand and all the petals flew back and landed on her feather clothes, looking quite disdainful.

Lie Feng rotated the compass, and countless streams of light shot towards Ye Xiaoxiang.

With a "roar..." a dragon roared, and a water dragon several meters long flew out into the sky. With a "boom...", the several streams of light were dispersed. The powerful true energy forced Lie Feng back two steps. Fei Jian appeared in front of him and sheathed his sword.

This 'Flying Waterfall Rising Dragon' has revealed the entire outline of the dragon, and possesses the spirit and momentum of a dragon, which is incomparable to the move performed by Yu Guizhou. Yu Guizhou's move only has the form, but lacks the spirit, and is not fully manifested.

Few people have seen Feijian in action. They only heard that he retreated half a step and admitted defeat in the battle with Ping Qingjue. But looking at the power of this move today, some people wonder whether Feijian was unwilling to fight in that battle.

Feijian's cultivation has obviously reached the peak of a wandering immortal, while Guan Liefeng's cultivation has reached the immortal realm. Although the two realms are only one word apart, the foundation of their true energy is very different. One is a physical body, and the other is an immortal body. However, Feijian forced Liefeng to retreat with one move, which shows that Feijian's comprehension of swordsmanship has reached a level where he has achieved enlightenment through swordsmanship.

When Zhulang saw this scene, his pupils shrank slightly. Although their cultivation methods were different, one cultivated Qi and the other cultivated mind, this state was also what he wanted to achieve. At present, he was still far away from this state.

Lie Feng was startled. He had never expected Fei Jian's swordsmanship to be so sophisticated. If he fought head-on, he might not win. He asked in a deep voice, "Why are you trying to stop me?"

Fei Jian said: "We are discussing the Dao here, and we don't want anyone to disturb the Dao field. I hope you can understand. If you have any hatred, I hope you can go down the mountain to settle it."

Yun Meng also appeared in front of Ye Xiaoxiang and advised, "Saint Envoy Ye, please stop and give me some face."

Ye Xiaoxiang put down her jade hand that was about to fly away from Dou Xuehong, glared at Lie Feng, gently twisted Dou Xuehong, and said leisurely: "It was this old Taoist who didn't know the rules and started it first. I was just helping the real person teach him a lesson."

Lie Feng shouted, "You are just a yellow-haired girl, and you dare to teach me a lesson? You really don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is. If someone hadn't stopped you, I would have crushed you into mud!"

Yun Meng said: "Please both of you be patient and don't fight in Huangshan!"

Lie Feng said: "I came here just to take this kid away. Anyone who stops me will be an enemy of me!"

Yunmeng said: "Sir, you came to Huangshan at my invitation. You are a distinguished guest of Huangshan. Since you are unwilling to follow me, I will naturally obey your wishes. I hope you can understand."

Lie Feng looked around and saw that there were indeed too many people here today. He was afraid that it would be difficult for him to take Wuzhan away by force. He immediately said to Wuzhan, "Okay, I will wait here. I want to see how long they can protect you!"

Ye Xiaoxiang said to Wuzhan: "If you come with us, these people can't do anything to us, and you don't have to be an official anymore. In the Nitian Sect, you will not only enjoy endless wealth and glory, but also have a secret method that will make you ascend to become an immortal." Although her voice was clear, it carried a kind of temptation that made it easy for people to believe it.

Wuzhan bowed to Ye Xiaoxiang and thanked him, "I appreciate the kindness of Saint Envoy Ye, but I dare not let you down since your Majesty values ​​you so much."

Ye Xiaoxiang said: "It's such a pity, but the door of my Nitian Sect is always open to you. As long as you are interested, you can see me by wearing this jade pendant around your waist!" There was an inch square ox-head jade pendant in his hand. With a light wave, the jade pendant flew away without any obstacles.
