Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 882 Zhengde's Inner Demons

At the critical moment, the Demon Subduer made the most correct response.

His pupils shrank suddenly, but he did not try to dodge Hongju's full-force attack. Instead, he gathered all four of his supernatural powers into one in his magic sword.

"cut!"

The sword light whistled, and few among the late Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could withstand it. However, Hongju's perfect Foundation Establishment stage overwhelmed everything.

In an instant, a beam of light descended from the sky, illuminating the universe and turning the sea of ​​clouds crimson. At the same time, it shattered the sword light of the Demon Subduer with overwhelming force, striking him squarely in the face, like knocking down a bird, and slamming him into the ground.

However, Hongju let out a soft exclamation upon seeing this.

"...He's not dead."

On the ground, countless cracks spread out like a spider web, and in the center was a blood-stained pit from which a person crawled out.

It was none other than the Demon Subduer.

After climbing out of the deep pit, he didn't hesitate at all. In the blink of an eye, he fled into the depths of Gantang Road, not daring to look at Hongju again.

However, Hongju did not pursue him.

Not only did he not give chase, he even stopped the restless Peak Master of Patching Heaven, thinking to himself, 'Something's not right. How did he suddenly become a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator?'

His judgment was absolutely correct. Just a moment before they clashed, the opponent was still at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, but when he unleashed his full power, the opponent's level plummeted, as if he were deliberately courting death. Damn it, was he trying to scam someone?

Hongju's eye twitched slightly.

There's no way around it; Jian Ge has a history of this! They specifically send unimportant disciples to stage incidents, exaggerate the situation when problems arise, and use the opportunity to extort money.
'I can't fall for this no matter what!'

At this moment, Hongju's thoughts were perfectly clear. After all, he wasn't there to kill anyone; his goal was to retrieve the fragments of the cave in Gantang Path.

However, on the other hand, the Demon Subduer was not so calm.

'Shameless devil!'

The sword flashed, and the Demon Subduer's eyes were bloodshot. He had completely lost his mind, his eyes filled with the relief and fear of escaping death.

Heaven has mercy! If he hadn't fully activated his innate divine power, the [Sword Edge Gold] Dao Foundation, and used all his strength to kill all the future beings that Hongju had killed, he would probably be reduced to mincemeat by now. There's no way around it; the difference between the peak of Foundation Establishment and the late stage of Foundation Establishment is just that great.

'That devil has gone too far!'

In the blink of an eye, the Demon Subduer had already escaped back to the Li family's ancestral land, only to be met by the Roaring Sea Immortal who was flying towards him on his escape light.

The other party looked confused, as if they hadn't figured out what was going on.

However, Master Fuyao did not hesitate at all. He raised his hand and slashed out with his sword. The sword light whistled and disappeared in the blink of an eye, instantly beheading Master Xiaohai.

"Fellow Daoist, your opportunity has arrived!"

The Demon Subduer Master said indifferently, "I'll borrow your body's blood and energy to stop the demon for me. When I become a True Lord, I'll take you as my disciple."

Rumble!
Before he finished speaking, Master Fuyao drew his sword and flung the recently deceased Master Xiaohai behind him, about to blow his body apart.

However, a strange scene appeared.

After Xiaohai Zhenren's body was detonated, no blood or qi emerged; instead, a wisp of green smoke rose, leaving Fuyao Zhenren stunned on the spot.

"what happened?"

However, with the threat of a Foundation Establishment Perfection expert right beside him, even with a thousand doubts in his mind, he couldn't care less at this moment and could only continue to flee for his life.

That's why he didn't notice the strangeness of the wisp of green smoke at all. When he came to his senses, he was shocked to find a cold wind blowing over him. His Foundation Establishment body, which should have been immune to heat and cold, suddenly felt a chill and trembled slightly when blown by the cold wind.

But on the run, how could he dare to think too much?

Therefore, the Demon Subduer could only endure the discomfort and continue to flee at high speed. He continued until he entered the heart of Jiangnan before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

It was only then that he began to examine himself.

'What's going on?' 'Could it be a soul attack from the Demonic Sect?'

He first cast a mind-clearing spell, then took out a magic sword and placed it between his eyebrows to protect his consciousness, using various methods to purify his mind in turn.

In fact, this approach is already extremely appropriate.

Unfortunately, Master Fuyao was already under the influence of Chongguang's "Free Heaven," causing his inner demons to fester and his emotions to become uncontrollable. He was then ambushed after killing Master Xiaohai.

But in his haste to escape, he didn't take immediate action.

As a result, although he appears to be fine, he is actually terminally ill, and his soul and consciousness are shrouded in a dark light.

"This man is already in my trap!"

In the distance, Chongguang coldly watched the Demon Subduer, as endless black energy gathered in his hand, finally transforming into a hideous ghost mask, which he easily grasped in his hand.

Looking around, the ghostly face was clearly the image of the Demon Subduer, now roaring in Chongguang's hands. A beam of mysterious light spread from the ghostly face, disappeared into the clouds, and then fell from the sky like a fishing rod, landing right between the Demon Subduer's eyebrows and hooking onto his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Upside-down Mount Sumeru]!
The fifth inner demon supernatural power has the wonder of eliminating the true self and destroying the Dao heart. Its drawback is that it can only be used after the inner demon has eroded it to a certain extent.

However, once it's unleashed, victory is practically secured!

'With this divine power linking lives, this person's life is completely in my hands. Unless the True Lord intervenes, no one can save him.'

Chongguang was satisfied and smiled coldly:
"I'll let you live a few more days; it's not time to use you yet. Now that my inner demons have fully formed, there's no time to lose. Go and summon the True Lord Chengtian Zhengde!"

With a slight thought, Chongguang immediately received a corresponding thought from the Demon Subduing True Man, who was already being tormented by inner demons. Without hesitation, he took out a flying message, lit it with his magic power, and sent it to Jitian Cliff. The message was simple: he was asking Chengtian Zhengde True Lord for help.

In the distance, watching the flying message soar through the sky, Chongguang took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination: 'Having come this far, I have no way to retreat.'

"Success or death!"

He also conducted an investigation into Chengtian Zhengde Zhenjun.

Especially after Lü Yang personally stated that Cheng Tian Zhengde Zhenjun was troubled by inner demons, he thoroughly investigated the other party's life and resume.

Not for any other reason than to find out where the inner demons lie.

After investigation, Chongguang concluded: 'If Chengtian Zhengde Zhenjun is indeed possessed by inner demons, then the source must be witchcraft and ghostly whispers.'

The last leader of the Witch Ghost Path, a minor sect, was a prodigy who rose to prominence by seeking gold throughout his life, almost causing Cheng Tian Zhengde Zhenjun to fail at the last moment. No matter how you look at it, the other party had a better chance of obtaining gold than Cheng Tian Zhengde Zhenjun. However, in the end, Cheng Tian Zhengde Zhenjun proved to be the one with the better skills.

'However, this is not because of his ability.'

"It's not because of his background, but because of the fact that, at least to ensure that Cheng Tian Zheng De Zhen Jun could successfully obtain the gold, the Sword Pavilion must have put in a great deal of effort."

So far, it's all been fine.

After all, as a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, being shameless in a straightforward manner is already a basic quality. So what if he relies on his background? In the end, he'll be the one laughing last.

However, things didn't go as planned.

"After that, True Lord Chengtian Zhengde unleashed a sword strike, annihilating the Witchcraft Path. However, he did not completely kill Tingyou; he merely sealed and suppressed her."

On the surface, it seems like it's because he just broke through and doesn't want to suffer divine punishment for damaging the earth's veins. But he's already a Golden Core True Monarch; what's a mere divine punishment?

'Furthermore, according to the rules of the Sword Pavilion, a prodigy like Tingyou should have been killed immediately, reincarnated, and then brought into the Sword Pavilion as a disciple. Yet, True Lord Chengtian Zhengde did not do so. Why? What was he afraid of? Was he worried that Patriarch Tingyou would continue to compete with him for the throne in the future?'

Thinking of this, Chongguang couldn't help but shake his head:

'He dared not kill Tingyou, dared not bring him into the Sword Pavilion, and even dared not let him reincarnate and embark on the path of cultivation again, which is why he acted this way.'

This is the basis of his judgment.

After all, there is no reasonable explanation other than inner demons for a Sword Pavilion True Monarch to voluntarily violate the rules of the Sword Pavilion and go to such lengths.

In other words:
'If I want to stir up his inner demons and make them backfire, the best way is to make him relive the fear that Tingyou instilled in him back then!'
