Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 209 Battle
As they spoke, the two had already approached the sect's protective formation.

Many people from the Seven Emotions Sect gathered here. Zhou Qing used his Heavenly Net to sweep them over and found that most of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators, at least fifty or sixty of them.

In addition, there was another Golden Core cultivator whose spiritual pressure was three times stronger than the Golden Core cultivator who had previously lured Mu Zhuosha away.

As expected, the opponent had more than one Golden Core cultivator.

Zhou Qing was not surprised by this.

If you want to attack a Golden Core sect, you can't just send out one Golden Core cultivator.

Zhou Qing guessed that they had at least three Golden Core cultivators.

In other words, besides the two he had met, there should be another one lurking elsewhere.

At this moment, the Golden Core cultivator also saw Zhou Qing. He frowned and asked, "Young Master, who is this?"

Bai Yujing smiled and said, "This is Grandmaster Zhou Qing of the Qingyun Sect, who came to support the Changsheng Sect. However, he has now volunteered to come with us to visit the Qiqing Sect."

"Grandmaster Zhou Qing, this is Bi Du, the Third Elder of my sect."

Bi Du cast a surprised look at Zhou Qing and said, "So you are Zhou Qing. You are indeed a promising young man. As long as you do your best to serve our sect, we will reward you handsomely."

Unlike Bai Yujing, who was a smiling tiger and always maintained a certain level of decorum in his speech, Bi Du was much more direct in his speech, even though he was still ruthless at heart.

Bai Yujing smiled and said, "Elder Bi Du, Zhou Qing has already agreed to help persuade Master Qingmu. Why don't we invite Master Qingmu here so that we can discuss things amicably and avoid hurting our relationship?"

Bi Du nodded and said, "If Zhou Qing can persuade Qingmu to open the great formation, it will be a great achievement."

After saying that, he walked to the front of the Longevity Sect's protective formation.

On the opposite side of the great formation were the disciples of the Longevity Sect, who were on high alert.

The Seven Emotions Sect besieged the Longevity Sect for half a month, evading attacks from its assembled disciples, attempting to deplete the power of the great formation and cause it to collapse due to exhaustion.

The Longevity Sect also deployed its disciples to key positions for defense. If the Seven Emotions Sect launched a fierce attack and the formation could not withstand it, the Longevity Sect disciples would also step in to help the formation resist and repair any gaps in the formation at any time.

The position where Bi Du was stationed was the main mountain path leading to the Changsheng Sect, and also a key defensive location for the Changsheng Sect.

The person stationed here is Lü Yuyi, the head of the Transmission Hall of the Longevity Sect.

Lu Yuyi was naturally very familiar with Zhou Qing, so when she saw Zhou Qing coming with Bai Yujing, she felt something was amiss.

Bi Du said, "Please tell Master Qingmu that Zhou Qing from the Qingyun Sect has come to visit and ask him to come here to meet you."

Lu Yuyi ignored him and instead looked at Zhou Qing, asking, "Zhou Qing, why are you with people from the demonic path?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I came from Qingyun Sect to provide assistance and happened to meet some friends from the Seven Emotions Sect. I don't think they are bad people, and they are willing to act as peacemakers for both of you."

Bai Yujing smiled broadly and said, "Grandmaster Zhou Qing is indeed reasonable and understanding, unlike those narrow-minded people who are prejudiced."

Lu Yuyi snorted coldly and said sharply, "Zhou Qing, you usually seem like a smart person, how come you've suddenly become so stupid?"

"Those who follow the demonic path are masters of disguise; you've been deceived by them."

Zhou Qing shook his head and smiled, "Brother Lü is too prejudiced. Why don't we invite True Man Qingmu to come and let him decide everything?"

Lu Yuyi sneered, "Now that you've fallen into their hands, the sect leader will naturally have to come and deal with it personally. I've already sent someone to inform the sect leader that he will arrive soon."

"However, you don't need to have any hope. Unlike you, we won't be bewitched by the demons. We will hold the great formation and wait for reinforcements. If you are killed by them, we will avenge you in the future."

Bi Du snorted coldly and said, "Zhou Qing is a smart man and he is of great use to our sect. We will naturally ensure his safety. As for you, once we break through the formation, I will skin you alive as punishment for your cowardice and disrespect."

As the two sides were arguing, a sword light shot down from the mountain and landed next to the great formation barrier in a moment.

Master Qingmu emerged from the sword light. This was the first time Zhou Qing had seen Master Qingmu since he last left the Longevity Sect, and he noticed that the old Taoist's demeanor had changed significantly.

The original Aoki Master still had some popularity, but now he is unfathomable and has a somewhat ruthless and heartless air about him.

"Young friend Zhou Qing, how have you been?"

Aoki Masato laughed
Zhou Qing returned the greeting, saying, "Master Qingmu's demeanor is even more impressive than before."

Master Aoki said, "It's all thanks to my young friend."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhou Qing said, "Enough of the small talk. I've been asked by Fellow Daoist Bai Yujing to act as a mediator."

"I heard that the Seven Emotions Sect wants to ask the Longevity Fruit Roots and Saplings from the Longevity Sect. The sect's treasures are meant to protect the sect, not to bring disaster upon it."

"Now that the Seven Emotions Sect's army is pressing in, why should the Sect Leader cause his disciples to perish for such a trivial matter? It would be better to give it to them."

Master Qingmu said, “What you say is not without reason. If other immortal friends asked for it, I would be willing to give it up to avoid trouble, but I cannot do that to people of the demonic path.”

"The Seven Emotions Sect is demanding the Longevity Fruit in order to prolong the life of their leader, the old demon Pan Zhang, and help him rise to a higher level. Once the old demon succeeds, the entire Western Continent will be devastated."

"For the sake of all living beings, the Longevity Sect cannot afford to make a mistake at this crucial juncture."

Zhou Qing nodded and said to Bai Yujing, "Look, you've seen it too, my persuasion had no effect."

Bi Du said, "The old man doesn't know what's good for him. Since that's the case, we don't need to be polite."

"Everyone, listen up!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Seven Emotions Sect who surrounded the area immediately formed a battle formation, concentrating their attacks on a single point of the sect's protective array.

The protective formation immediately rippled.

The members of the Longevity Sect inside the great formation also mobilized their spiritual energy to protect the formation and resist the Seven Emotions Sect.

Bi Du cultivated the Seven Emotions Sect's secret method of "eating emotions".

His magical artifact was a bone staff, topped with a refined skull, within which he imprisoned thousands of souls.

These thousands of souls were not obtained randomly, but were carefully selected, specifically targeting happy families, and then slaughtering them to steal their souls.

In this way, when he uses the secret technique to extract various emotions from the living souls within the skeletons, these emotions will become his sustenance and enhance his cultivation.

Of course, the living souls cannot endure this torment indefinitely; roughly every three to five years, a new batch of living souls will be replaced.

To unleash his most powerful attack, Bi Du pushed his secret technique to its limit.

A series of mournful howls emanated from the skull.

Bi Du's aura surged, rushing towards the protective formation of the Longevity Sect.

Bi Du did not collide with the sect's protective formation.

Master Qingmu rushed out of the formation and engaged in battle with Bi Du, quickly leading Bi Du into the air.

Bai Yujing was greatly surprised.

For the past half month, Master Qingmu has maintained a defensive posture, never voluntarily leaving the great formation, in order to prevent the three Golden Core cultivators of the Seven Emotions Sect from attacking him.

Why did they take the initiative to go into battle this time?
