He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

The arrival of this wicked monk was completely unexpected; Zhang Zhengyi didn't even know why he had taken a liking to Fang Yuancheng.

He understands the principles; in life, there will always be unexpected experiences.

This is too devastating. My old friend's hundreds of years of cultivation have all been wasted in just a few days, and he didn't even have time to comprehend the mysteries of supernatural powers.

Zhang Zhengyi was heartbroken. He couldn't even protect his favorite junior, and could only watch helplessly as the demonic monk took him away and even severely injured him. All of this was what Zhang Zhengyi witnessed.

The evil monk even said to his face that he wanted to eat Li Jiangyuan, but he didn't have the ability to fight him to the death.

He was utterly suppressed with just one move.

"Mr. Xu, it's nothing, it's good that you're back."

"But that wicked monk..."

The two sat on the ground, not caring about manners at all.

Zhang Zhengyi then honestly recounted to Xu Yi the events that had occurred in Xiaochongshan over the past few days.

He recounted everything he knew from beginning to end.

Finally, he added: "Mr. Xu, that evil monk recognizes you and knows that you are from Ping Shui Temple."

"Sir, that evil monk is not afraid of you, which is why he dares to stay in Fangyuan City so openly."

The old man didn't embellish the story; he simply stated each point calmly. He knew that Xu Yi would definitely take care of it, so there was no need to exaggerate.

Xu Yi is a truth-seeking person; telling too many lies will only arouse his dissatisfaction.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Zhengyi had explained everything that had happened in the past few days.

Xu Yi nodded heavily; he had already recognized who this demonic monk was.

"Pudu, I never expected it to be him."

Xu Yi was lost in memories. To be honest, from his perspective, the last time he saw Pudu was just a few hours ago.

But half a month has already passed in this mortal world.

It's unbelievable that Pudu, who looks so dignified and has the demeanor of a high monk, is actually behaving like a demon monk. He really misjudged him.

Wait, that great demon?!

Xu Yi felt a chill run down his spine. He seemed to realize something. No wonder he couldn't find that great demon. When Qingming brought him back, he specifically told him about it.

The Azure Netherworld Ancestor said: Xu Yi, there are no great demons here. I came here specifically to wait for you.

Could it be that Pudu is a so-called great demon? How could he so perfectly conceal his demonic aura?

Even his sword didn't react at all. His sword had slain many monsters and was extremely sensitive to their aura.

Pudu's cultivation level is the Five Qi Gathering at the Origin. Zhang Zhengyi just said that this statement came from Pudu himself, so it should not be false.

However, Xu Yi really couldn't figure out how Pudu could have such a Buddhist aura. It was precisely this Buddhist aura that perfectly masked his demonic nature, which was the most reasonable explanation Xu Yi could give.

"Sir, you do indeed know him. That evil monk specifically asked me about him before he came."

"He specifically asked me what my relationship with you was..."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Zhengyi recounted what happened after Pudu went up the mountain.

"Hehe, it's normal that he knows me, but we only met once. He won't be afraid of me anymore."

Upon closer examination, Xu Yi is actually only at the Five Divine Powers Realm, which is the so-called Five Qi Converging to the Origin.

Xu Yi felt that the Five Qi Gathering at the Origin was not that simple.

He had to go to Fangyuan City to rescue its people and Li Jiangyuan.

Pudu deceived him; he was indeed a capable demon.

"Brother Zhang, I'm about to head to Fangyuan City. Pudu cheated me, and I should go and seek justice."

Xu Yi stood up, dusted himself off, and led the old ox over.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhengyi stopped him, pleading, "Sir, please let me go with you. Jiang Yuan's disappearance is largely my fault. I failed to take good care of him, and even Master Xin Jing was taken away by him."

When Zhang Zhengyi was sending Li Jiangyuan away, he also gave Li Jiangyuan the relic condensed by the Heart Mirror, telling him to keep it with him. He also told Li Jiangyuan about the origin of this relic.

This was to make Li Jiangyuan pay attention to the relics.

"It's alright, I'll bring everyone back."

After Xu Yi finished speaking, he took a special look into the depths of the mountains and saw a trace of true spirit attached to the City God Temple.

Using his supernatural powers, Xu Yi produced a pale green light in his hand. He gently grabbed a small golden figure in the direction of the City God Temple.

He handed the golden figurine to Zhang Zhengyi. Xu Yi knew that Zhang Zhengyi and Liang Jing had a close relationship; they had known each other for hundreds of years and had a deep friendship.

This little golden figure is Liang Jing. The true spirit condensed by the power of incense offerings is not so easily extinguished.

As long as someone offers incense to Liang Jing, he will rebuild his golden statue when the time is right.

"This is Liang Jing. I came here using my supernatural powers to capture his soul. He is not completely dead, but he needs to be nourished day and night with pure incense energy. Perhaps after more than ten years, Liang Jing can regain consciousness."

Xu Yi was being somewhat conservative in saying that. In his opinion, this was something that could be achieved by offering incense every day for more than ten years. But based on his understanding of Zhang Zhengyi, the other party would definitely be making offerings directly using the power of his own incense.

In this way, the time frame of these ten years or so could be shortened by more than half, or even more.

To Zhang Zhengyi, this was simply unbelievable. His old friend was still alive? Oh no, he really wasn't dead.

As a result, Zhang Zheng played with the little golden figure for a while, carefully examining it in his palm. The figure's outline did resemble Liang Jing somewhat, but in a cuter version.

He was still immersed in grief over his old friend's death, thinking about how to avenge him, even if it meant going to the underworld together.

Now Xu Yi is telling him that he can come back to life? This feeling is like a rollercoaster ride, it's quite exciting.

Zhang Zheng kept saying words of thanks.

Xu Yi waved his hand dismissively and said, "Brother Zhang, let's not say any more. If we keep talking, it'll make us seem distant."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhengyi indeed fell silent.

"Fang Yuancheng, you don't need to go either. You can take good care of Liang Jing. Right now, he is in dire need of support from his ancestors."

"If the best time for treatment is missed, then there is nothing I can do to save it."

This is the truth. Xu Yi has already done his best. If he doesn't receive the support of incense offerings, this little golden statue will eventually dissipate; it's just a matter of time.

"Yes, yes, I should do something meaningful."

Zhang Zhengyi also comforted himself, thinking that perhaps he shouldn't have gone to Fangyuan City with Xu Yi. If he were captured by the demon monk again, it would become a handle for the demon monk to threaten Xu Yi, which was something he didn't want to see.

If you're not strong enough, then you should save your back row.
