Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 303 What you can't kill, I can.
Bai Mei pondered for a moment and said, "There's no rush. We can take action after we've dealt with the Great Illusion Demon Lord."

"If the Great Illusion Demon Lord were to escape, we would still need him."

After all, the Great Illusion Demon Lord was their old enemy, and they were not certain that they could capture or kill him, so they naturally had to keep Zhou Qing alive for the time being.

Jiang Tao said, "I'm afraid he'll escape while we're all away."

Bai Mei said, "It's alright. There are a few Demon Abysses that are relatively calm recently. Let's recall the junior brothers guarding those places first. It won't be too late to send them back to defend after we kill the Great Illusion Demon Lord."

Jiang Tao nodded.

Bai Mei said, "The most important thing now is to deal with the big trouble of the Great Illusion Demon Lord."

"Everyone knows his abilities. Even if we work together, it will be extremely difficult to kill him before he descends like a demon."

"Our only chance of winning is that he is unaware of our arrival. We can take advantage of his unpreparedness and use the Seven Stars Silent Illumination Formation to immobilize him."

"This formation is maintained by the combined efforts of the seven of us. Even with the Great Illusion Demon Lord's great supernatural powers, he will surely be immobilized for two or three breaths. We need to kill him within those two or three breaths."

"We absolutely cannot afford to fail!"

"I will obey the decree of the Daoist Master."

Everyone responded in unison.

Bai Mei then said, "Xiang Lian, go and convey the imperial decree to summon the senior uncles back to the temple."

The Holy Goddess Xianglian, her mind elsewhere, left Dahua Peak dejectedly.

Before leaving to deliver the message, she glanced at Daoyun Peak a few times and seemed to see two small figures at the entrance of the waterfall.

She felt a pang of pity.

She knew that these seven senior uncles had returned to keep an eye on Zhou Qing and prevent him from escaping. If the Dao Lord successfully killed the Great Illusion Demon Lord, he would kill Zhou Qing next.

From a personal perspective, Zhou Qing saved her life; from a public perspective, Zhou Qing had just helped the Hongfa Temple find the trail of a major enemy, which could be considered a favor to the temple. However, the temple wanted to repay kindness with enmity, which is unacceptable no matter how you look at it.

Saintess Ke Xianglian knew that this matter was beyond the control of a mere junior like herself, so she could only sigh, stop looking at Daoyun Peak, and go to deliver the message.

Just one day later, the seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs returned to their respective Demon Abyss locations to spread the Dharma.

Bai Mei entrusted them with the mission, instructing them to guard the seven mountain peaks, surround Zhou Qing, and await their news.

Then, Bai Mei led his six junior brothers, Jiang Tao, Lu Ping, Liehuo Zhenjun, Bai Xuan, Mu Tiexiong, and Huang Yiqing, toward Qingyun Sect.

Fearing that the Great Illusion Demon Lord would sense their presence, they landed on the ground nearly a thousand miles away from the Qingyun Sect, concealed their aura, and relied solely on their powerful physical strength to travel towards the Qingyun Sect.

Although they do not fly on swords, their speed is as swift as the wind, relying solely on their physical strength.

The journey of a thousand miles was completed in less than a day.

Bai Mei gazed at the auspicious clouds and wisps of light surrounding Qingyun and the other two, and laughed, "The Qingyun Sect certainly has some grandeur."

Jiang Tao sneered, "Unfortunately, it will cease to exist after today."

All the Nascent Soul True Monarchs remained silent.

In order to quickly kill the Great Illusion Demon Lord, they could not hold back. With the full force of the seven Nascent Soul cultivators, the Qingyun Sect could not escape.

Bai Mei said, "Let's not waste any more time. The Great Illusion Demon Lord is in the back mountain of Qingyun. We must conceal our presence and not let him notice us. Let's go now."

……

Daoyun Peak.

Zhou Qingzheng was testing Nie Yunxi's cultivation.

Nie Yunxi was preoccupied with the Qingyun Sect and had no mood to cast spells. However, seeing her senior brother so enthusiastic and seemingly unconcerned about the sect, she had no choice but to reluctantly comply. The jade zither was indeed her magical artifact.

Zhou Qing watched as she unleashed various sharp sonic attacks with her jade zither, finding it quite interesting. Just as he was pondering whether there were ways to improve it, he suddenly saw a figure walking down the mountain.

The man's steps were very heavy, as if he were carrying a thousand-pound stone.

It took her a long time to finally get to him.

"Senior Sister Xianglian!"

Nie Yunxi stepped forward first to greet him.

Saintess Xianglian smiled and returned the greeting.

Zhou Qing asked, "Have the Dao Master and the others already set off?"

Saintess Xianglian nodded.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "A great enemy of the Daoist temple has been swiftly killed. The Holy Maiden should be happy. Why do you seem so preoccupied?"

Saintess Xianglian said, "Brother Zhou has done me a great favor, and I cannot bear to see him killed innocently."

"Brother Zhou, if you have a solution, please leave before the Dao Master returns."

Nie Yunxi was taken aback and asked, "Why do you say that, Senior Sister?"

Saintess Xianglian shook her head with a wry smile.

Her mere presence to remind Zhou Qing was already an act of betrayal against the dojo; to then publicly reveal the plans of the dojo's masters and elders would be even more blasphemous.

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Sister Yun, there's no need to ask any more questions. The matter is obvious. Once we get rid of the Great Illusion Demon Lord, I, Zhou Qing, will become the first enemy of the Daoist sect. Naturally, they won't tolerate me."

"Since I'm at the dojo right now, isn't this the perfect opportunity to kill me? Of course, they won't let this chance pass them by."

Nie Yunxi said angrily, "Senior brother just helped them get rid of a great enemy, and they turn around and try to turn against him. How can there be such shameless people in the world!"

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "Yunmei is a favored daughter of heaven. She is very much loved in the Illusionary Love Sect. After she goes down the mountain, she will have the name of the Illusionary Love Sect and probably won't suffer much. How could she know the wickedness of the world?"

“There are many more shameless acts than this.”

Saintess Xianglian couldn't bear to listen to them continue, so she said, "Brother Zhou, don't waste any more time, please leave quickly."

"Seven senior uncles have now returned to the temple to take care of Brother Zhou. Among them, Senior Uncle Cao Yang is on the Crane-Viewing Peak to the north."

"Uncle Cao Yang didn't take the Dao Master's decision seriously, but as a member of the Daoist sect, I can't disobey the Dao Master's orders. I'll go to Guanhe Peak now and try to stall Uncle Cao Yang."

"Uncle-Master Cao Yang will certainly not do his best to stop you. The two of you should escape from the direction of Guanhe Peak. You should not encounter too many obstacles. With Brother Zhou's abilities, escaping will not be difficult!"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I appreciate the Holy Maiden's kindness, but I, Zhou, have come to this place of spreading the Dharma in an upright manner, so I will not leave in a sneaky manner."

Saintess Xianglian said anxiously, "Brother Zhou, why dwell on temporary humiliation? Preserving your life is the most important thing."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Holy Maiden, there's no need to persuade me any further."

“If you are willing to help, I have something to ask of the Holy Maiden.”

Saintess Xianglian asked, "What is it?"

Zhou Qing glanced sarcastically toward the direction of the Qingyun Sect and said, "By now, Fellow Daoist Bai Mei and the others should have arrived at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. I would like to ask the Holy Maiden to make a trip there in person and tell Fellow Daoist Bai Mei that they cannot kill the Great Illusion Demon Lord, but I, Zhou Qing, can."

"However, I have a condition. The two spiritual veins that True Monarch Lu Ping promised, which I originally only asked to occupy for three years, will now belong to me permanently. In addition, I also want to occupy ten spiritual veins for a period of ten years."

"If Fellow Daoist White Eyebrows agrees, I will kill the Great Illusion Demon Lord for you; if you do not agree..."
