Having mastered the Daoist arts, you're telling me you're in a world of demons and monster

"In addition, my elder brother, Lü Zongwang..."

"They have long been secretly colluding with the demon race!"

These words were spoken.

Upon hearing this, even Zhao Wuduan, who had been calm and uninvolved, suddenly stood up, his expression changed drastically, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

This matter was originally meant to be kept secret, known only to Heaven, Earth, you, and me.

But to expose it in public like this, this isn't it...

This is ridiculous!

"shut up!"

Lu Zongwang was filled with shock and anger, his expression one of utter astonishment.

He never expected that his cousin would betray him so readily at this moment.

"What nonsense are you spouting here?!"

"Why don't you quickly report the truth to the Taoist priest and clear up the misunderstanding!"

He really couldn't understand it.

Even if you're doing Jiang Xuanjing's bidding, why drag yourself into this mess?

After Lü Zongwang sternly stopped him, he quickly looked at Jiang Xuanjing and said urgently, "Master Jiang, please don't misunderstand. Perhaps Qingchi has mistaken me for someone else. I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xuanjing gently raised his hand, gesturing to cut him off.

"Go on."

Jiang Xuanjing looked at Lü Qingchi.

"Yes."

Lu Qingchi's expression remained calm, but the eagerness in his eyes grew even stronger.

"Not only my brother, but I was also involved in it before."

"However, the only thing we have truly done for the demon race is to test you today, senior, because of the death of Bai Wuyai... We hope you will understand and forgive us."

He apologized first, and then continued.

"Bai Wuyai is the son of the Heavenly Wolf King of the Moon Tribe. He infiltrated this Zhangtai Mansion in order to devour the desires of all living beings."

"As for why Qingshan County was chosen in particular, the inside story is still unknown. It is likely that the Yue tribe has other plans."

"Besides this one, there is another Heavenly Wolf in the Moon Division who is also a descendant of the Heavenly Wolf King in this Zhangtai Prefecture. His cultivation is even better than Bai Wuyai's, and his name is Bai Li."

"It was this very person who, upon Bai Wuyai's death, ordered us to come here overnight..."

Lu Qingchi took a deep breath and recounted the whole story, deliberately omitting everything about Lu Zongwang.

Having said that, he looked up at Jiang Xuanjing: "If Senior needs anything, we can list all the members of Bai Li's Moon Division. Within Zhangtai Prefecture, all the demons of the Sixth Realm are connected to Bai Li in some way. We only need to follow the clues to wipe them all out!"

Lü Qingchi was not a dull person.

They knew that if they concealed the truth now, their situation in front of Jiang Xuanjing would only become more passive when they faced Bai Li.

It's better to just lay everything out in the open.

Moreover, what he said was not false; Lü Zongwang had never been involved in any shady dealings.

However, in a sense, inaction by officials is dereliction of duty.

Even so, Lü Zongwang's face remained extremely ugly, his lips pressed into a cold, hard line, his mind in turmoil.

"In that case..."

Jiang Xuanjing then asked, "So what should we do with this evil spirit?"

Evil spirits? That was no challenge for Lü Qingchi.

"Our Heavenly Heart Sect is a major sect in the world, possessing the secret technique of the Dharma Eye, which allows us to perceive the mysteries of the netherworld and understand the changes in the illusory realm..."

Previously, he had relied on this technique to try to find out Jiang Xuanjing's background.

"So-called evil spirits are formed from the pent-up greed, anger, and ignorance of people."

"Within the territory of Zhangtai Prefecture, there are several ancient evil spirits that attach themselves to people's desires, transform into evil gods, and absorb faith."

"In this way, unless all their followers are killed, no matter how many cultivators at the fifth or sixth level kill these evil spirits, it will be difficult to completely eradicate them. They will revive again amidst endless human desires."

"Only a highly accomplished master like you could cleanse us all in one fell swoop and eradicate the root of the problem."

"If you are willing, senior, I am willing to be the vanguard and lead the way."

demon.

Evil spirits.

Lu Qingchi said everything he should and shouldn't have said.

have to say.

This was indeed of great benefit to Jiang Xuanjing.

"The Sirius King..."

Jiang Xuanjing silently pondered, not taking the slight concealment in Lü Qingchi's words to heart, and simply asked, "Where is the nearest evil spirit to Qingshan County?"

"Reporting to Senior, it is in Liuan City, north of Qingshan. There is a spirit river in the city, which is a tributary of the Cangjiang River. The local people have worshipped a river god for generations—that river god is one of the evil spirits that I just mentioned."

Lü Qingchi answered respectfully.

"The River God?"

Zhao Wuduan was stunned. This deity...

It was actually an evil spirit?

as predicted.

Industry specializing in surgery.

He passed through Lu'an City many times without realizing it.

"very good."

The six-heart mysteries reflect this, and there is no mistake in this point.

Jiang Xuanjing nodded in satisfaction and then said:

"Since that's the case, I'll make a trip to Lu'an to see for myself. If it's true, I'll eliminate it."

"But I wonder if you two could gather all the demons within the territory of Zhangtai Prefecture together?"

"Whether it's under the pretext of killing me or some other excuse, as long as we can gather them all together, that's fine."

Compared to searching for each demon one by one and then slaying them, it is obviously more efficient to capture them all at once.

Compared to searching for them one by one,

It's faster to just catch them all at once.

These words, coupled with Jiang Xuanjing's gaze sweeping over him, sent a chill down Lü Zongwang's spine.

But what can he do now that things have come to this?

No matter how much you regret it or how unwilling you are, it's all in vain.

How dare you be so presumptuous in front of a Dao-entering expert?

He was so timid and fearful even in front of Bai Li that he dared not act rashly now.

To be able to survive at this moment is already an immense stroke of luck.

"Can!"

Lu Zongwang gritted his teeth, knowing that getting through this hurdle was the most important thing. He immediately replied, "I will do as you instructed and gather them all together."

After saying that, he looked at Lü Qingchi and said, "Qingchi, don't you think so?"

"What you say is absolutely right, elder brother."

Lü Qingchi seemed not to grasp the deeper meaning in his brother's words, and simply said calmly,

"These Moon Demons under Bai Li's command each have their own agendas."

"The presence of our seniors is a thorn in their side, and they will not stand idly by."

"My brother and I only need to find a suitable excuse, and they will definitely come; however, this will take some time."

Monsters are scattered in various places, and even if the communication is fast, it still takes time for them to gather in one place.

"good."

Jiang Xuanjing nodded slightly.

"Then go ahead."

"Remember, do not disappoint this humble Taoist priest."

"otherwise……"

A soft laugh escaped, and Jiang Xuanjing's face held a half-smile before his figure vanished into thin air.

Even though Lü Zongwang and Lü Qingchi had been watching Jiang Xuanjing the whole time, they couldn't figure out how he left before he disappeared!

"It seems Master Jiang has already gone to Lu'an to slay the evil spirits... Such a free-spirited manner truly makes him a master!"

Zhao Wuduan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His expression was neither humble nor arrogant as he looked at Lü Zongwang and cupped his hands in greeting:

"I will await you here, and wish you every success!"

"...Let's go!"

Lü Zongwang declined to elaborate.

……

……

Lu'an.

The waters of the Ling River flow swiftly.

It was noon.

Along the riverbank, there was a lively scene of gongs and drums.

"May I ask, sir, what are you doing?"

The handsome Taoist priest asked with a hint of curiosity.
