Chapter 44 Kill Them All

“Merit and magical power!!!”

The weak and weird young man cried out in shock.

"You are just a casual cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training. How could you possibly master such a precious magical power?"

Supernatural powers are a method that can only be mastered by Jindan Zhenren. Even though the major sects have some low-level methods that can be used to cultivate the rudiments of supernatural powers, most of them require precious materials and extremely harsh conditions.

Lu Yan not only displayed the rudiments of supernatural powers, but also displayed extremely rare merit-based supernatural powers.

Merit's magical powers are usually not good at killing, but their ability to protect lives is top-notch. No matter how powerful the magic is, it is difficult to break the merit's protective magical power.

Especially when it comes to the secret techniques of demonic souls, the techniques of curses and killings, and the techniques of karma, the supernatural powers of merit are almost the natural nemesis of these techniques.

Not to mention that he is a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, even if a Jindan Zhenren cast a spell, he might not be able to break the Xuanhuang Merit Fire.

Precisely because he had a deep understanding of the mystery of the merit-based magical power, Lu Yan was able to master the prototype of such a powerful merit-based magical power at only the middle stage of Qi training, which made the strange young man somewhat unbelievable.

"You are definitely not a casual cultivator! Which sect are you from?"

"Zhengxuan Sect? Hanging Temple? Or the remnants of Daode Sect?"

When Lu Yan heard the words "remnants of the Daode Sect", a light flashed in his eyes.

But on the surface, Lu Yan did not react at all. He just waved his hand to draw a ray of merit light to descend upon the many evil spirits burned by the red lotus karma fire.

These evil spirits had previously transformed into giant ghosts together with the Bloodbeard Main Soul, and were burned by the red lotus karma fire of the weird young man. The karma would not dissipate until it was exhausted.

But in front of the light of merit, the fire of karma bred by the top-grade magic seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and was quickly extinguished under the suppression of the light of merit. Only then did many evil spirits break free from the burning of the karma fire.

After doing all this, Lu Yan walked slowly towards the strange young man holding the Hundred Souls Banner.

Lu Yan, who was walking in front, was protected by his merits and virtues, like a god descending to the earth, while behind him the ghost den was in turmoil with hundreds of ghosts following him. This scene, which should have been extremely incongruous, was unified in Lu Yan.

The weird young man stared at the scene in front of him dully. What he could never understand was that cultivating magical powers required a huge amount of merit, and Lu Yan holding the Hundred Souls Banner looked more like a demon than him, a disciple of the Red Lotus Demon Sect.

Why can such a cultivator accumulate such a huge amount of merit?

"Could it be that killing those spirit-blooded beasts can increase merit?"

The strange young man fell into deep doubt, but he didn't have much time to think, because Lu Yan had already come in front of him.

Looking down at the remnant soul in front of him, Lu Yan said:

"Tell me your identity, the purpose of the Red Lotus Demon Sect sending you here, and the trouble behind the storage bag."

As he spoke, the ghost mist transformed into a black chain that wrapped around the soul of the strange young man. The chain, emitting a sinister aura, was icy cold, as if it could directly freeze a person's soul to pieces.

The weird young man sacrificed most of his soul to cast the spell. His soul was already weak at the moment, and his face turned pale under the yin energy.

What was somewhat beyond Lu Yan's expectations was that before he could even utter any threatening words, under the ghost energy chain, the strange young man began to reveal all the information like pouring beans.

“My name is Cheng Yu, and I’m an inner disciple of the Red Lotus Devil Sect.

More than ten years ago, a branch of the Red Lotus Demon Sect secretly avoided the detection of the Qingwu Sect and entered the southern border. Its purpose was to secretly decipher an ancient relic in the southern border.

The location of the ruins is deep in Wushan Mountain, but a large number of spirit-blooded beasts died in Wushan Mountain a few months ago, causing many forces to turn their attention to Wushan Mountain. Elder Mo, who was in charge of deciphering the ruins, believed that if this matter spread, someone would search Wushan Mountain, which might lead to the discovery of our clan's secret deciphering of the ruins, so he issued an order to investigate the matter.

I took the initiative to accept this mission and came to this border area of ​​Wushan to investigate the situation. "

“As for the storage bag, it came from a direct descendant of the Mo family. The Mo family has a certain status within the Red Lotus Devil Sect. There is a Jindan elder and seven foundation-building cultivators in the family. It was their family that took the lead in secretly deciphering the ruins.

Because the Mo family was in charge of the event of the ruins with the whole family's strength, all the members of the Mo family within the sect secretly moved to the Wushan area, including the Mo family's direct descendant.

More than half a year ago, news suddenly came out from the Mo family that a family member was missing. Once the identity of the Mo family member as a disciple of the Red Lotus Demon Sect was exposed, it would very likely attract the attention of the righteous path and affect the deciphering of the ruins. After the news came out, the main elder of the sect was furious.

The Red Lotus Demon Sect cultivators secretly investigated and only noticed that the direct descendant of the Mo family disappeared in the territory of the Qingwu Sect. Because they were afraid that the noise would attract the attention of the Qingwu Sect, the sect could only secretly investigate the matter. "

"I discovered those talismans by accident in Qinggu Market. After some inquiries, I found clues from He Luyuan and found your location.

I asked He Luyuan to lure you out of the market to prevent the relevant information from being exposed, but I didn't expect this idiot to attract a tiger for me."

As he spoke, Cheng Yu looked sinisterly towards the courtyard that had long since turned into ruins, where there was a stiff corpse.

As soon as Lu Yan summoned out the Hundred Souls Banner, He Luyuan's soul was torn into pieces by numerous evil spirits, and his body was frozen by the negative energy.

If not for this, Cheng Yu would have wanted to use his remaining soul to cast a spell and take He Luyuan with him.

After Cheng Yu's narration, Lu Yan finally understood the whole story.

"Red Lotus Demon Sect, Mo Family."

Lu Yan's eyes became increasingly deep.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu sneered:
"Don't worry, the Red Lotus Demon Sect is one of the top sects in the demonic world. As long as you don't expose your merits and magical powers, this behemoth will not have the time to pay attention to an ant like you.

As for the Mo family who are still in charge of the ruins, as long as you don't take the initiative to hang around in front of them, they are even less likely to act rashly."

Glancing at Cheng Yu, Lu Yan shook his head slightly and said indifferently:

"I'm afraid you misunderstood something. I was just thinking about how to kill all the people from the Mo family and the Red Lotus Demon Sect."

Cheng Yu was stunned and looked at the serious Lu Yan seriously.

"Your talent for making jokes is much stronger than your talent for cultivation."

Lu Yan naturally didn't explain to Cheng Yu what the version update was, he just asked:
"Where are the ruins that the Red Lotus Devil Sect has cracked?"

"There is a Red Lotus Demon Sect's formation outside the ruins. Even a Jindan cultivator cannot find the exact location. I can't tell you exactly where it is."

After a slight pause, Cheng Yu used the power of his soul to condense a picture, which showed a bald man with a ferocious appearance.

"He is the head of the branch, a great immortal in the late Jindan stage. If you can find him, you can confirm the location of the ruins."

Lu Yan took note of the bald man's appearance and spoke again:

"One last question. Do you know anything about what happened in Zhulinfang Market a few months ago?"
