Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 139: Annihilation of the Thousand Corpse Cult (Returning to Qingdao on the nd!)
Using the hidden sword of earth as a lure, he lured away most of the refined corpses of the Hades General Situ Chi. After comprehending the Eight Views of Heaven and One True Secret, Lu Cheng realized a very advanced concealment technique and hid himself by escaping into the earth.

Then, he hid, waited, and suddenly swung his sword.

The powerful magic power transformed from the four swords and eight months of life was gathered and concentrated by Lu Cheng with the meridian-severing sword energy and his own physical body, and then burst out with sword power.

When the water element of the Five Elements Sword was switched to the wood element, Lu Cheng replaced the Pharmacist with Qingming, and when the wood element was switched to the fire element, he replaced Chiyan with Cangyan.

This caused the speed and power of the two swords to surge.

With one sword, he cut off Situ Chi's body that was protecting him. With each sword, he set the field on fire and killed Situ Chi.

The whole process seemed easy, but in fact, every step was calculated. Except for the fact that his innate blood fire was not stimulated to the extreme, Lu Cheng had already exerted his own martial arts and swordsmanship to the extreme.

The Thousand Corpse Sect's underworld general Situ Chi was by no means an easy opponent, but he still couldn't even escape.

"call."

Lu Cheng exhaled gently and adjusted his breathing rhythm.

"Blood Nerve" contains countless secret methods of swallowing the essence and blood of others, and then burning the blood and marrow to gain all the benefits without suffering any disadvantages, but Lu Cheng is convinced that the path he is taking is the right one. In the Taoist classics written by countless sages, the four words "dual cultivation of sex and life" are regarded as the truth.

Simply swallowing the essence and blood of others is ultimately nothing more than a business calculation, let alone the understanding and exploration of one's own life.

Even from the perspective of swordsmanship, if one only dares to be cruel to others but not to himself, he cannot be called fierce.

Lu Cheng did not kill Situ Chi. At the moment when the sword energy was approaching his body, Lu Cheng's sword energy turned from sharp to blunt, sealing the opponent's magic power and bloodline, but did not take his life. This was certainly not out of mercy, but for other purposes.

In fact, Situ Chi was bound to die sooner or later.

After stepping forward and capturing the heavily-armored Hades General, Lu Cheng quickly returned to the direction of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace on Guizang Mountain. He was not a helpless casual cultivator, and facing the current situation, there was really no need for him to continue taking risks. The correct thing to do was to capture the man and bring him back to Guizang Mountain to be dealt with by his master.

It took him four months to search for the Five Elements True Evil on the way here. It took him nearly a month to fly back at full speed.

Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that Huang Longzi and his wife had no insight into the situation deep under Guizang Mountain. On the one hand, it was because the distance was too far, and on the other hand, it was because it was obscured by the Five Elements.

The Palace of Ten Thousand Beasts.

After returning, the first thing Lu Cheng did was to go and pay a visit to his master, but the news he received was that his master Huang Longzi was in seclusion and would not see anyone unless it was something extremely important.

Therefore, Lu Cheng went to see his master's wife, Madam Baoxiang, and got the same answer. This kind of thing was not unusual. Jindan Zhenren would practice in seclusion more frequently, and Huang Longzi and his wife were a very hardworking couple among them.

Lu Cheng held the Hades General in one hand, and after a little thought, he flew to Hanlin Palace on a cloud. If his senior brother Yuwen Zheng was still there, he should have gone to Tengjiao Palace, but Yuwen Zheng suppressed the Southern Sect, and after recovering a little in the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, he returned to the fairy mountain where he lived to prevent the Southern Sect cultivators from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

Hanlin Palace.

Wu Lingjun, who had been in seclusion for a period of time and had gained nothing, was watching singing and dancing.

The waiter in the palace reported that the Lord of Thunder and Fire Palace had arrived.

Wu Lingjun's expression brightened, and she hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite me in!"

"Hahaha, Senior Sister, there's no need to invite me in. I'm already in."

Outside the hall, there was a young Taoist priest, holding a heavily-armored warrior in his left hand, and rushing in quickly with a ball of black wind wrapped around his body.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew violently. The dancers in the Hanlin Palace screamed and covered their skirts with their hands. The strong men and guards also covered their eyes with their hands as they could not see in the strong wind.

As for this, Wu Lingjun, who was wearing a loose Taoist robe and had a tall figure, didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and said:
"Old Nine, you can perform this wind-controlling magic to such an extent. It seems that your thirteen years of hard work have not been in vain. Huh?"

At this time, Wu Lingjun also noticed the heavily armored Hades General in Lu Cheng's hand.

"Situ Chi, the fourth underworld general of the Thousand Corpses Sect?"

"Senior sister, do you know him?"

"I haven't had much dealings with him, but the third brother has fought with them several times and suffered some losses. He wrote to me a few days ago, saying that he would seek revenge after he has mastered the art of refining. Where did you catch him?"

Wu Lingjun thought about what Lu Cheng had done during this period of time, his expression changed slightly and he asked, "The six major disciples under Huang Longzi of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace are all responsible for many things, and it is not enough for them to just practice Taoism wholeheartedly."

Wu Lingjun realized something herself, which saved Lu Cheng a lot of effort. Lu Cheng immediately told Wu Lingjun the whole story.

"These gravediggers, no wonder we have not been able to find the location of their mountain gate all these years. They are playing tricks under our master's nose. They deserve to be killed!"

Wu Lingjun respected her master and his mistress very much, and her pretty face was filled with fear at this moment. The temperature in the palace dropped significantly in an instant. Many singers and dancers, who were already lightly dressed, folded their arms and shivered with cold, but did not dare to make a sound.

The environment around Wu Lingjun was covered with ice.

"Let's go and see our Master and his wife."

"But Master and the others are in retreat."

"Hey, you've only been in the Heavenly Palace for a few days. My eldest brother and I both have special talismans that allow us to penetrate into the retreat room of our master and his friends."

This kind of talisman should be available to the eldest senior brother Yuwen Zheng, the second senior sister Wu Lingjun, and even the Xiao sisters. However, other disciples do not have such power.

The main peak of Guizang Mountain is Tongtian Peak.

Wu Lingjun brought Lu Cheng to a cloud and mist restriction. Of course, they would not force their way in, but instead injected a talisman into it.

After a while, the clouds in front of them dissipated, and Wu Lingjun and Lu Cheng continued to move forward.

There was a pavilion on the hillside of Tongtian Peak, where Master's wife, Madam Baoxiang, was sitting and drinking tea, but her brows were slightly furrowed, showing a bit of displeasure.

"Lingjun, don't you see what time it is? Your master is in seclusion, how can I leave? Is there anything you can't say in the sound transmission note? Why do you want me to come out and talk to you? "

But at this time, Madam Baoxiang's gaze also fell on the Hades General that Lu Cheng was holding.

"A monk from the Thousand Corpse Cult?"

"The thing is like this..."

Lu Cheng politely narrated the whole story from beginning to end.

"…This is one thing, but no matter what, nothing is more important than your master's retreat and practice." Just as Madam Baoxiang was about to say something else.

The clouds behind him surged, and a deep and powerful voice came:

"Jun Lan, come in."

Madam Baoxiang's secular name was Shen, and her given name was Junlan. This was the first time that Lu Cheng knew his master's wife's name.

Madam Baoxiang glanced at Wu Lingjun and Lu Cheng, then turned and walked into the forbidden mountain sealing method.

"Jun Lan, has that kid Lao Jiu discovered the Thousand Corpse Cult at the foot of the mountain?"

Tongtian Peak is surrounded by clouds and mist.

At this moment, a yellow shadow emerged from the clouds, and it became bigger and bigger, finally penetrating the clouds and mist and appearing in front of Madam Baoxiang.

The yellow shadow was actually the head of a giant dragon, a golden head with shining horns and eyes as bright as the sun, but there was a flash of human spirituality in its eyes. It was none other than Taoist Huang Longzi.

"Yes, I didn't expect that this old ninth brother's foundation is so profound. That Five Elements True Evil Vein has been almost untouched by anyone. Not only was it condensed and swallowed up by him alone, he actually tracked it all the way down and found the headquarters of the Thousand Corpse Sect!"

From the conversation between Huang Longzi and Madam Baoxiang, it turned out that the two of them had known for a long time that the Thousand Corpse Cult was hiding underground in Guizang Mountain.

For so many years, we have been protecting the Five Elements True Evil Veins from being seized by others, and this is also to conceal the existence of the Thousand Corpse Cult from being noticed by others.

"Hahahahaha, it's a good thing that our disciple has a deep foundation in Taoism. He has condensed so many Five Elements True Evils. Junlan, you should be relieved. Old Nine is not a modern blood demon."

“Maybe this generation of blood demons is particularly powerful and has a deep background.” Madam Baoxiang replied, but in fact she herself did not believe it.

In any case, a cultivator's mental strength is limited, and I'm afraid no blood demon of any generation will be able to comprehend the Way of the Five Elements to this extent.

It's not that the Five Elements are weak, but that the Blood God Son doesn't practice and study the Five Elements? For the Blood Demon, it's just a loss of merit.

"Then, what to do next?"

"The reason why I kept these people from the Thousand Corpse Sect was because the Eighteen Golden Corpses of the Shiqi Patriarch were indeed rampant in the world. These people inherited some of his legacy. I want to see how far they can go. If a few amazing people emerge and reproduce the Xuanyin Corpse Refining Technique... it will also be a killing move for the future battle. Unfortunately, after hundreds of years, the descendants of Taoist Shiqi are just a group of mediocre people. Even if one or two outstanding people emerge, it is too late.

Let the second and ninth brothers take action. They are the two most likely to inherit our teachings. Let the second brother hone his skills and let the ninth brother accumulate wealth. Don't waste the years of nurturing the Thousand Corpse Sect."

"You just look down on the boss so much?"

"After so many years of thinking, he finally made a third-grade elixir. How can I look up to him?"

After saying this, the yellow dragon circled its body, and the thick clouds gathered and covered it again. Clouds come from the dragon, and wind comes from the tiger, it is nothing more than that.

Madam Baoxiang stood at the edge of the cliff and thought for a while, then turned and walked out.

Wu Lingjun and Lu Cheng were of course still there, having been waiting for a long time.

"The Thousand Corpse Cult has actually settled near our Guizang Mountain. Your master was furious when he learned about this, but I have to stay here and cannot leave without permission. Now I give you two choices: either I call a few elders to help you wipe out the Thousand Corpse Cult, or you two can do it yourself and I only want the result.

"You handled this Hades General very well, Old Nine. The Thousand Corpse Cult has a soul lamp spell, which extinguishes the lamp when a person dies. You have captured him alive now, and the Thousand Corpse Cult should not be prepared yet."

Looking at the unconscious Situ Chi, and then at Lu Cheng, who had a strong breath and was obviously not injured, Madam Baoxiang was also surprised.

Of course she could see that Situ Chi had already reached the sixth level of Refining Gang, and was only one step away from the late stage of Refining Gang. Moreover, he was a disciple of the sixteen evil sects in the world, while Lao Jiu had not even completed the practice of Condensing Sha Dacheng. With such a huge gap in magic power, he easily defeated Situ Chi and was even able to control the injury without killing him.

Madam Baoxiang had only seen such fighting ability in her husband and her junior brother Chi Shenzi in her life. It was truly amazing.

Talent for cultivation is important, but talent for sword fighting is equally important. It’s just that the latter cannot be tested and can only be reflected in actual combat, so it is not valued by the world.

"If he really has the talent of my husband or Junior Brother Chi Shen Zi, then he can be considered a good match for Yu Xue."

Madam Baoxiang knew very well in her mind that in the Tongxuan Realm, there were many cultivators who had fallen into the devil's way and would kill for a pill or a spiritual herb. If one's own talents were insufficient, then choosing a good Taoist companion would naturally be an excellent choice.

While Madam Baoxiang was thinking, Wu Lingjun and Lu Cheng were not idle either. They looked at each other and made a decision.

If the master's wife calls over a few elders, most of the proceeds from the destruction of the Thousand Corpse Sect will be taken by the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, and a small portion will be taken by a few Jindan elders. The two of them will only be able to get some leftovers.

On the contrary, if the matter was solved by two people, although there would be some risks, it would be a huge test and tempering for Wu Lingjun. For Lu Cheng, after accomplishing this task, he would not have to worry about cultivation resources for many years.

Among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, swordsmanship and alchemy are the most profitable.

They correspond to the Tribulation Cultivator and the Alchemist respectively.

"Master's wife, there is no need to publicize the family affairs of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace. Lingjun is willing to share the worries for Master's wife."

"Lu Cheng, I am willing to share the worries of Master and his wife."

"Ah."

Looking at the two disciples who were bowing politely in front of her, Madam Baoxiang nodded.

Then he took out a long red whip and handed it to Wu Lingjun.

"I have to protect your master, so I can't go. This male and female whip has my magic power, which can stimulate the power of three strikes. I will leave this matter to you two to solve."

Wu Lingjun knew that this was his master's wife's life magic weapon, so he took it with both hands with great gratitude. This was a magic weapon for protection, but it could only be used twice. Once used for the third time, his master's wife would immediately come down the mountain.

This was also a test for the two of them. Wu Lingjun had already reached the peak of the ninth level of Refining Gang magic power. As a true disciple of the top magic sect in the Tongxuan Realm, he would not necessarily be too afraid when encountering an ordinary Jindan master. Therefore, it was very safe to have the male and female Immortal Whips to protect him.

Wu Lingjun and Lu Cheng immediately descended from Tongtian Peak. When they looked back again, their master's wife, Madam Baoxiang, had disappeared into the clouds.

"Hello, Junior Brother Lu, I have something to ask of you. This time, for the sake of friendship between fellow disciples, I should have asked the fourth and fifth brothers to come with me, but I really feel that this is my chance to break through. Can you accompany me to the Thousand Corpse Sect alone? We won't ask the fourth and fifth brothers for help."

Looking at Wu Lingjun's slightly excited expression, Lu Cheng smiled and said:

"Then, it's up to you, Senior Sister."
