Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 292 Demonic Abyss
Fragrant Lotus Saintess?

Is this the enemy that Master Mu Zhuosha has been longing for?
Zhou Qing looked her over curiously for a few moments and asked, "Does Saintess Xianglian still remember Mu Zhuosha?"

"Mu Zhuosha?"

Saintess Xianglian looked bewildered for a moment, as if searching for something in her memory. After a long while, she finally showed a joyful expression, like a child who had finally found an outdated toy in a dusty corner of an abandoned house. She said, "Ah, I remember now, Mu Zhuosha from the Qingyun Sect?"

"We fought back in Wanxiang City. It took me a lot of effort to subdue her. Among the cultivators of our generation at that time, she was considered quite good."

"Could she be your senior?"

Very good... Very good... Wrong... La...

Zhou Qing chuckled inwardly.

If her master knew that Saintess Xianglian's evaluation of her was only "good," she would probably shatter her Dao heart once again.

Mu Zhuosha had always wanted to get revenge on Saintess Xianglian, but according to Zhou Qing's observation, Saintess Xianglian was now a strong Golden Core cultivator and not far from the peak of the Golden Core stage.

The distance between her and her senior brother-in-law has probably widened.

This is not surprising. The cultivation world is cruel. Saintess Xianglian comes from a Nascent Soul cultivation ground, has a more advanced lineage, more abundant resources, and better talent. If you can't suppress her in the early stages, the gap will only widen in the later stages.

Being able to overcome the limitations imposed by one's background is something that ordinary people, even ordinary geniuses, cannot do.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "She is my senior martial aunt."

Saintess Xianglian smiled and said, "Back when we were discussing Dao in Wanxiang City, I saw that she had great talent. I was planning to tell her about the Demon Abyss after the discussion and invite her to join the Daoist temple so that we could fight against the demon tide together in the future."

"Unexpectedly, she was strong-willed and, in a fit of anger, went mad with qi, so we had to give up."

Zhou Qing asked in surprise, "You'll invite outsiders to join?"

Lu Ping Zhenjun laughed and said, "That's natural. The more people who fight against the demonic tide, the better."

Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a hint of sarcasm, "What if the other party doesn't agree?"

Lu Ping Zhenjun's smile froze, and he did not respond.

Zhou Qing understood. When Lu Ping first met him, he said that Lu Ping was no ordinary genius and that an exception would be made for him.

The example that was broken should be this one.

Saintess Xianglian said, "You are Mu Zhuosha's junior, so you are also my junior. I should give you a gift, but after sitting here for several years, I have nothing left."

"When you have the chance in the future, come find me at the Dharma center, and then..."

"Cough cough!"

Lu Ping Zhenjun coughed dryly, interrupting Xianglian Saintess's words, and said awkwardly, "We'll talk about this later. Young friend Zhou Qing wants to see the Demon Abyss, so let's take him in now."

Saintess Xianglian exclaimed in surprise, "That's too dangerous!"

It should be noted that with her cultivation level of the Golden Core stage, she usually only stays outside the cave, only going in to help when the Nascent Soul True Monarch inside needs her. If the Nascent Soul True Monarch is in critical condition, she is responsible for immediately rushing back to the Daoist temple to warn him.

Staying in the cave, facing the abyss of demons, is a great pressure even for a Golden Core cultivator.

Since Zhou Qing is Mu Zhuosha's junior, his cultivation level is probably not very high, and he is likely to encounter danger if he enters the cave.

Lu Ping Zhenjun smiled and said, "It's alright."

After saying this, he led Zhou Qing into the cave. Saintess Xianglian thought for a moment and then followed. Zhou Qing followed Lu Ping through several turns, and suddenly the view opened up, leading them into a spacious and empty cave chamber.

The cave is several tens of feet high, and the stone walls are covered with knife and axe marks, as well as various sword marks, which should be the remnants of a previous battle.

On the stone wall, Zhou Qing also saw densely packed soft black jade, with intricate runes etched on it. Most of these runes were unfamiliar to Zhou Qing, but he understood from the spiritual energy fluctuations they emitted that the runes were used to reinforce the cave and isolate the aura.

The entire cave was filled with a strange aura that could arouse desires, and its effect was several times stronger than the Eternal Decay created by Zhou Qing. Anyone with a slightly weak mind would immediately make a fool of themselves upon entering the cave, and in severe cases, their Dao heart would collapse, turning them into a fool or even causing them to die.

The eerie atmosphere in the cave all came from a dark crack in the middle that was two or three zhang wide and more than ten zhang high.

The crack hung there in the center of the cave, helpless and alone, as if a wound had been torn open in space.

From the other side of the crack, one could faintly hear the sounds of raging waves and thunderous winds, but all that could be seen was endless darkness.

In front of the crack was a stone platform, on which sat a robust, rugged-looking middle-aged man.

Zhou Qing guessed that this was Cao Yang Zhenjun, who was stationed in the Demon Abyss of Mopan Mountain.

As Zhou Qing looked around the cave, Lu Ping Zhenjun and Xianglian Shengnu were also looking him over.

Both of them were worried that Zhou Qing would be affected by the strange atmosphere inside, and were prepared to take him away immediately if he showed any unusual behavior.

However, when Zhou Qing entered the cave, his expression remained calm and indifferent, as if the eerie aura had no effect on him whatsoever.

The two were amazed by the steadfastness of his Dao heart, which was rarely seen in the world.

Cao Yang Zhenjun opened his eyes and said, "Old Lu, weren't you ordered to see Zhou Qing? Why are you here?"

Lu Ping Zhenjun laughed and said, "This is Zhou Qing. He heard me tell the inside story and wanted to come to the Demon Abyss before he believed what I said."

Seeking help from Zhou Qing and acknowledging that Zhou Qing has an equal status with the Dharma propagation center is not something that Lu Ping alone can decide.

All the Nascent Soul True Lords in the entire Dharma Propagation Center voted before making a decision, so Cao Yang had already heard about Zhou Qing's deeds.

At this moment, he looked at Zhou Qing with curiosity and said, "It's a pity that I have to stay here to oversee things, otherwise I would definitely replace Lao Lu and go to fight you. I want to see what's going on with your strange skills."

Zhou Qing said, "I am also willing to compete with the heroes of the world. Since you have this intention, I will accompany you when it is your turn to leave."

Lu Ping laughed and said, "You two are quite evenly matched. Old Cao is skilled in using fire, and Zhou Qing's unique fire-based secret technique is also a masterpiece. If you two were to face off, the scene would definitely be spectacular."

"But Lao Cao only has fire-based magic, while Zhou Qing's methods are varied and unpredictable. I'm afraid you'll suffer a loss."

Lu Ping had personally seen Zhou Qing's plasma beam.

He didn't know the nature of plasma beams, so he assumed it was some kind of fire-based secret technique.

The shock that Zhou Qing brought to Lu Ping when he used a plasma beam to burn through dozens of miles of ground, causing underground magma to erupt and completely destroying the corpse raisers, has not yet subsided.

He was also very curious to see who had the better fire magic between Zhou Qing and Cao Yang.

In terms of explosive terror, Zhou Qing is naturally superior, but Cao Yang's fire magic is even more bizarre. If they were to face off, the outcome would be hard to predict.

Saintess Xianglian was already puzzled when she saw that Cao Yang wanted to challenge Zhou Qing, and she was even more surprised when she saw that Lu Ping was seriously analyzing the fight between the two.

She finally realized that she seemed to have misunderstood Zhou Qing.
