Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 213: The only option against Zhou Qing is to avoid his sharp edge.
In this battle, Zhou Qing used almost every trick in the book.

Of course, every method has been compromised.

Therefore, he viewed this battle as a drill.

No matter how many weapons are in the arsenal, you'll never know how they'll perform in real combat unless you conduct frequent live-fire exercises.

Therefore, Zhou Qing felt very satisfied with this encounter with the people of the demonic path.

He was also very satisfied with his performance.

This made him even more certain that once he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he would be able to travel without encountering too much danger.

Bai Yujing and Bi Du's escape caused panic among the remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Seven Emotions Sect, who scattered in all directions.

Zhou Qing had no interest in these minor characters, so he stayed put and didn't move.

Master Qingmu and Mu Zhuosha led the disciples of the Changsheng Sect in a pursuit, annihilating most of them, with only a few managing to escape.

Half a day later, Aoki Zhenren and Mu Zhuosha returned to Zhou Qing's side.

Master Aoki sighed, "When you told me about this plan earlier, I was hesitant and worried that you wouldn't be able to handle it. Now it seems that I was just worrying unnecessarily."

"It's only been two years since I last saw you, and you've already risen to the ranks of true masters of the immortal path. It's truly astonishing and terrifying."

All member sects of the Array Formation Association have Zhou Qing's sound transmission array tablets.

After Zhou Qing was led into the illusion array by Bai Yujing, he quickly devised a plan and informed Qingmu Zhenren through a communication jade tablet.

He also conveyed his path into the illusion array with Bai Yujing, as well as his analysis of the array, to Mu Zhuosha and Qingmu Zhenren, so that they would not lose their way in the array.

At the time, he didn't know how much of his strength he could unleash in the battle, so he asked Master Qingmu to lure away Bi Du while he stayed behind to deal with Bai Yujing.

Unexpectedly, the results were much better than he had imagined.

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingmu is too kind. This junior merely uses unorthodox methods to survive. How could I dare to be ranked alongside true senior masters?"

"By the way, Qingyuan is nearby. Please send someone to find her immediately, so that the escaped thieves will not harm her."

Master Aoki laughed and said, "I'll have someone take care of it right away."

With that, he turned around and ordered Lü Yuyi to personally lead people to find Qingyuan.

After Lü Yuyi left to carry out his orders, Master Qingmu turned back and said, "The people of the demonic path have always been secretive, but this time they risked being exposed to launch a strong attack on my Changsheng Sect. I'm afraid that old demon's lifespan is nearing its end."

"We, the West Antarctic, are likely entering a turbulent period."

Zhou Qing asked curiously, "Could it be that he went on a killing spree before he died?"

Master Qingmu shook his head and said, "Killing before death is not necessarily the case, but killing after death is inevitable."

Zhou Qing asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Master Qingmu said, "The higher the cultivation level of a person in the demonic path, the deeper their demonic intent. After they die, their demonic intent will take over their body and unleash endless killing intent upon the world."

"Just like that Demon Subduing Golden Pill from before."

Zhou Qing felt a slight unease.

Rather than saying that demonic forces have taken over the body, he believes that a more accurate explanation is that a force from another world is exerting its influence through this body.

Zhou Qing suspected that if enough demonic cultivators simultaneously descended, they might be guiding an unimaginably powerful being into this world. He was both wary and curious about that world, yet unsure where to begin exploring it.

Master Qingmu continued, "That old demon is a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator. Once his demonic intent takes over his body, his strength will increase by three times. The destructive power he can unleash is far more terrifying than that Golden Core cultivator from before."

"So now he can neither die nor live."

"As long as he lives, he will constantly oppose the immortal path and cause all sorts of troubles, but once he dies, he will also stir up a bloody storm."

"That's what makes the demonic path so troublesome."

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said, "The Seven Emotions Sect attacked the Longevity Sect because they wanted your Longevity Fruit. I'm afraid that if they fail this time, they will come back again."

Aoki nods heavily and says, "That's what I'm worried about too."

"The demonic path is always vengeful. Young friend, you have caused them such a great setback this time. I fear that the Qingyun Sect may also be attacked at any time."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Master, I have an idea. I wonder what you think, senior?"

Master Aoki smiled and said, "I think I've already guessed what you're thinking, young friend. That's exactly what I'm thinking too."

Mu Zhuosha frowned and said, "What exactly are you talking about? Can't you just say it outright?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Because of the existence of the Array Formation Association, our relationship with the Longevity Sect and several other sects has become very close in the past two years. If one of them is in trouble, the others will come to our aid. However, this may not be enough."

“This kind of scattered rescue is difficult to form a cohesive force, so I have an idea. Why don’t we set up an emergency organization? This organization can maintain contact with the various sects at all times, and once any abnormality is discovered, it can coordinate and respond in a timely manner to ensure the safety of the sects.”

Master Aoki said, "We are about to enter a turbulent period, and such an organization is urgently needed. I think the other families will agree as well."

These eight sects were originally in a defensive alliance, but in the past, this relationship was relatively loose.

If the organization proposed by Zhou Qing can be established, the eight families will form a military agency that surpasses any one of them. This agency can unify the strength of the eight families and react in a timely manner.

Unlike research and commercial organizations like the Array Association, this is a true violent organization that, once established, will immediately have a huge impact on Western Antarctica.

There are nearly seventy Golden Core sects in the Western Continent, with varying strengths, but the differences are not significant.

However, once this organization is established, a force several times, or even more than ten times, stronger than other Golden Core sects will immediately appear in Western Polaris.

This force will far surpass any single Golden Core sect, second only to that one.

Even considering only the number of Golden Core cultivators, they might have more than that other family.

The leadership of such an organization is a major problem.

None of the eight sects were willing to fall behind or be ordered around by others.

However, Zhou Qing's presence easily solved this problem.

Originally, Zhou Qing was just a promising junior.

However, the combat power he displayed today shows that he can no longer be regarded as a promising junior; he is already a strongman who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the leaders of various sects.

With such a prodigious talent, all eight sects would choose to avoid his sharp edge, and no one would want to compete with him for the leadership of this organization. Therefore, Zhou Qing is the most suitable candidate.

Master Aoki smiled and said, "I will now send long-distance messages to all families to explain this matter and invite them to come and discuss it."

Zhou Qing said, "Please invite their respective chief array masters to come as well. I have a surprise for them."
