Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 77: Breach of Contract (Please collect and read)
Yun Cheng and his fellow apprentices began to conduct targeted inspections in the Taoist temple. They acted swiftly and decisively, and found the problem in just one day.

As expected, there were two recruited Taoist priests who had connections with the Ghost Spirit Sect. They received benefits from the other party and then sold out relevant intelligence information.

If this isn't a spy, what else could it be?
Taoist Yun Cheng was furious and immediately arrested the man and interrogated him.

Fortunately, these recruited Taoist priests could not enter the inner courtyard on weekdays, nor did they dare to enter. Otherwise, they would be turned upside down.

In addition, what Taoist Yun Cheng was most worried about, that the Ghost Cult would plant an undercover agent, did not happen.

After the interrogation, report to the master.

The abbot didn't say anything and just asked his eldest disciple to handle it according to the law.

After solving the problem of the Ghost Cult, at night, the temple master continued to follow Chen Jin and went to the top of the mountain to practice.

For them, this is the most important thing.

Given the abbot's temperament and work style, he is actually not suitable for teaching disciples, let alone running a Taoist temple.

He founded Yunshan Temple and recruited disciples, mainly for the purpose of practicing better.

Of course, the master of the temple does not accept disciples casually; after accepting them, he will teach them sincerely. As for whether they can become talents, it depends on their understanding and acquired efforts.

Especially in recent years, it has basically been a state of letting the sheep run wild.

It cannot be said that he was irresponsible. After all, the master of the temple himself had serious problems in his practice and almost went astray, becoming paralyzed on one side of his body.

The appearance of Chen Jin helped him out of the predicament and saw the dawn of being able to go further and build a second temple.

"The Divine Method of the Five Internal Organs", five elements, five temples.

If the Spleen Temple can be completed and the deity can be successfully summoned, the master of the temple will have a chance to break through and officially be promoted to the sixth realm.

By then, his lifespan will also be extended.

No one wants to die. Isn't the purpose of a cultivator embarking on the path of cultivation to change his fate and live forever?

This is essentially a kind of "greed".

As long as greed is well controlled and turned into one's own advantage, it can become a driving force for progress.

The master of the temple currently has sufficient motivation.

He had a vague feeling that Chen Jin would not stay in the mountain for too long.

Yunshan Temple also had no chance of keeping this young man of mysterious origin.

Chen Jin is like a cloud in the sky, ever-changing and coming and going without a trace.

So, before they leave, you should seize the opportunity to spend time with them and see if you can get some advice. Maybe just a few words can bring you deep insights.

The temple master had already determined that what Chen Jin was practicing was the way of immortality.

The immortal way is above, above the sky, and it is the true longevity.

If you have different paths, you cannot walk side by side, let alone keep pace with each other.

The temple master knows his own limitations. He only hopes that not only himself, but also his disciples can get as close to Chen Jin's path as possible.

Even just a little closer would be enough.

After overcoming the difficulties and starting to refine the spleen spirit, what the master of the temple needed was no longer the evil fire of the earth, but the scorched earth burned by the fire.

This soil, which is thick on the mountain, is very suitable.

What Chen Jin collected was still the evil fire energy from the earth, which he used to temper the statue of Kuixing.

From the base of the giant turtle to the statue on the lamp body, the amount of fire required has doubled.

So, Chen Jin continued to move forward, getting closer and closer to the core area of the Earthly Evil Fire Spring.

The master of the temple did not dare to set foot in this place, he remained on the edge.

The evil fire energy outside has been almost collected, and the fire poison has been greatly weakened, which is quite suitable.

The temple master began to consider whether he should let Yun Ning come up as well to absorb the evil fire energy here to help with his cultivation.

After all, Yun Ning also started with his mind, and practicing in such an environment would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

……

Soon it was three days later, the day for the fight with the Ghost Spirit Cult. Taoist Yun Cheng was dressed neatly, with a solemn look on his face; Yun Yi held a sword in his hand, eager to try. He cultivated the Gold Lung God and learned a set of "Gengjin Sword Techniques", and was good at martial arts fighting.

Yun Ning, who knew about it, looked relaxed, which even made the senior brother feel uncomfortable: "Junior sister, the Ghost Spirit Cult's people will be here soon, you have to keep a close eye on them, especially Junior Sister, don't let her run around."

However, after waiting for a long time, no one came until noon.

"Don't these evil people dare to come?"

Yun Yi said impatiently.

Taoist Yun Cheng touched his face and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Zhan Chun was so confident that day, as if he was sure of success."

"Big Brother, I'll go take a look ahead."

Yun Yi rode a strong horse, whipped the horse, and galloped away.

Yun Ning smiled and said, “Big Brother, maybe the ghosts knew that Master’s health had improved and his cultivation was unimpeded, so they were scared away.”

Taoist Yun Cheng blinked, as if thinking about something.

This possibility does exist. After all, his master is a fifth-level Divine Transformation cultivator with a great reputation. He has killed countless villains, which is enough to deter Zuo Dao.

If that's true, that's good too. There's no need to fight and the opponent can be scared away without bloodshed.

You have to know that fighting is not a gentle matter. When two factions compete for the same path, there will inevitably be injuries or even death.

Taoist Yun Cheng hadn't had a fight with anyone for many years, so he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Just as Master said, we lack confidence.

"Definitely!"

The sound of horse hooves is rapid.

Taoist Yun Cheng looked over quickly and saw that it was his fellow apprentice who had returned.

"No one is coming! I went to the market place, but there was no movement."

Yun Yi turned over and dismounted: "It's already this hour, he definitely won't come. What's the matter?"

Compared to his senior brother, he felt regretful for losing this opportunity to fight.

Taoist Yun Cheng frowned and said thoughtfully, "There must be something fishy about this matter. Logically speaking, even if the Ghost Spirit Cult broke the agreement, someone from the county government should have come to inform them as a witness."

Yun Yi asked: "What should we do now? Do we have to wait?"

Yun Cheng looked up at the sky and said, "Wait another half an hour."

At this point, time actually passed slowly.

About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard on the road ahead, and dust could be seen flying in the distance. It was probably that quite a few horses and soldiers had appeared.

Taoist Yuncheng's heart skipped a beat: Could it be that he came at this time?
Damn!

His expression, which had been somewhat relaxed, suddenly tensed again.

Yun Ning narrowed her eyes and looked up.

That group of people came quickly. The first one to ride in front was a man wearing black clothes and carrying a long sword on his back. He was Ma Ben, the head of the Ma police.

The several riders behind him were all runners from the county government, and they did not seem to be ghosts or spirits.

Arriving in front of him, Ma Ben dismounted and clasped his fists, saying, "Master Yuncheng, fellow Taoist priests, you don't have to wait any longer."

Taoist Yun Cheng asked, "Captain Ma, what happened?"

Ma Ben's eyes flashed, "For some reason, a fire broke out in the Evil Tiger Valley where Master Zhan Xiang of the Ghost Spirit Cult and his men were, and it burned to a white ground. There are some skeletons left on the ground, but their identities are hard to identify."

Upon hearing this, Yun Cheng and others were stunned, and then they showed joy on their faces.

Taking in the expressions of the crowd, Ma Ben continued, "The ghost spirit has revealed this matter. The whereabouts of Zhan Xiangzhu and others are unknown. Their battle with your temple has come to an end. Ma, under the order of Lord Song, has come to inform you."

"No problem! Thank you for your hard work, Captain Ma!"

Taoist Yun Cheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
