Starting with the Corpse-Eating Worm, he worked his way up to become the Left-Winged Immortal Lord.

boom!

With a loud bang, the golden sword pierced into the white mist.

As the array patterns pulsated, pieces of grayish-white tortoise shells appeared in response, blocking the unstoppable golden sword.

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhi raised his hand, his robes fluttering, and his fingertips formed a hand seal. As the spiritual energy rippled, it added a touch of sword power to the golden sword.

"Even if you have a top-tier second-order Yin Formation, you can forget about blocking a third-order talisman!"

The words fell.

Sword energy rippled.

Like waves and ripples.

One after another, the tortoise shells shattered under the surging sword energy, and the array patterns were completely annihilated.

In an instant, a huge gap was cut open in the Hidden Yin Tortoise Shell Formation, and the golden sword forcefully pierced through it, its momentum unstoppable.

"It's done!"

Master Qiuyue, who was standing to the side, was delighted.

Then he hurriedly said, "All Wufeng Temple cultivators, listen to my command! Use your magic to break the formation and capture the thief who is skilled at breaking into Fufeng Forest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Xian, Li Fu, and a group of cultivators at the third, fourth, and fifth levels of Qi Refining attacked together. The brilliance of the Five Elements Techniques completely tore through the darkness and crashed onto the Fuyin Tortoise Shell Formation, causing the entire Fufeng Forest to tremble.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qing was shocked.

This also made us realize once again the power of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

However, upon closer inspection through the corpse-eating worms, Gu Qing discovered that the golden sword had only penetrated about one zhang into the Hidden Yin Tortoise Shell Formation before becoming completely still.

"A third-tier talisman can't break a second-tier Yin array? Is there a problem with the talisman, or with the array?"

Filled with surprise and doubt, Gu Qing continued to keep a close eye on the battlefield.

Before they could get a good look, the sound of a hundred ghosts walking at night suddenly arose above Wufeng Temple, and the mournful ghost cries surged into Wufeng Temple like a tide.

Even though golden light shone above Wufeng Temple, intimidating the ghosts, the terrifying pressure still weighed on his head.

what--

Amidst the surging golden light, one fierce ghost after another was annihilated.

But when Gu Qing opened the door and looked outside, countless fierce ghosts covered the moon, and the area behind the mountain was already submerged by the ghost tide.

"They actually dared to attack Wufeng Temple directly!"

Gu Qing was startled again, and immediately returned to the house, using the power of the corpse-eating worms to hide in the small house.

Because he felt things weren't that simple.

……

at the same time.

The surging golden light above Wufeng Temple also drew the attention of Lu Xingzhi and his companions.

"They actually dared to storm Wufeng Temple!" A murderous intent flashed between Lu Xingzhi's brows, and he immediately ordered the cultivators below, "Qi Refining Level 3 cultivators, return to Wufeng Temple immediately and cooperate with the temple's formation to slay the evil spirits!"

"yes!"

Li Fushou nodded.

He immediately set off with seven or eight others towards Qishan.

however.

They had only gone halfway when the formation of Wufeng Temple was torn open by the ghosts, creating a huge gap.

A group of unfamiliar cultivators hiding in the shadows immediately stepped on their magical artifacts and rushed into the Wufeng Temple.

"They must be those unscrupulous and unorthodox sect members under the Heavenly Principle Sect who are wanted by the authorities!"

An older cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining spoke angrily, his sword flashing again beneath his feet, increasing his flying speed even further.

Li Fu and the others also used their magic to quickly arrive at the Wufeng Temple. They rushed into the temple and attacked the miscellaneous sects that were taking advantage of the chaos.

Faintly, one could still hear the screams of the young Taoist.

……

Gu Qing hid in the room, using the senses of the hollow stag beetle to cover the surroundings.

Seven or eight Daoist boys at the first level of Qi Refining were beaten to death on the spot for stopping several masked miscellaneous sect members from breaking into the house and looting.

After years of hard work.

nothing at all.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qing felt a surge of emotion, but he rationally suppressed the urge to go out and help.

Because the miscellaneous and unorthodox sects who rushed in were all decisive and ruthless, and all of them had a cultivation level of around the third level of Qi Refining.

These people were clearly not monks from Changping County.

Most of them were bandits from outside Changping County.

However, Gu Qing didn't want to miss this opportunity, since he didn't need to take action himself; he could simply ride the Sky-Shattering Stag Beetle.

This opportunity to earn daily review rewards should not be missed.

"You're the ones."

Gu Qing didn't focus on the people, but instead stared at the vengeful ghost.

Outside the dormitory room separated from him by only one wall, several vengeful ghosts were now trying to rush into the dormitory room to kill and kill Zeng Xiu.

"Fellow Daoists, have you seen my head?"

Is anyone inside?

"I see you!"

As ghostly cries echoed, the Taoist disciples inside the communal sleeping area huddled together in fear, hiding in a corner. Some tried to grab water ladles or stools, while others clung tightly to stools or even covered their heads with blankets.

Despair grew in their hearts, and they wept uncontrollably.

"I haven't even had a chance to cultivate, how can I be dying?"

"Help! Help!"

"Mom and Dad, I want to go home!"

As shouts rang out, Gu Qing rode the Sky-Shattering Shovel Beetle across the night, transforming into a silver light that instantly pierced the chest of a vengeful ghost. Before the ghost could react, the Sky-Shattering Shovel Beetle had already torn its body apart.

"what……"

By the time they realized what was happening and screamed in agony, their bodies had already completely disintegrated.

Upon seeing this, the other two vengeful ghosts immediately tried to flee, but were caught up by the Sky-Shattering Stag Beetle and torn apart on the spot.

However, their painful cries were still heard by everyone in the dormitory, but no one dared to look out.

After a long time without any movement, they dared to tentatively approach the door and peer out through the window.

Seeing that the vengeful ghost had disappeared, they wept with joy once more.

At this moment, Gu Qing silently noted the number in his mind, and then controlled the Void Stag Beetle to continue dealing with the remaining swarms of fierce ghosts.

As for those miscellaneous and unorthodox sects, Gu Qing didn't bother with them, because the group's looting was carried out in an orderly manner, in groups of three or five.

Although the Void-Shattering Stag Beetle had reached the upper level of the first tier and dealing with them would not be a problem, he did not want to take the risk.

But just as Gu Qing was about to continue dealing with the vengeful ghost, Li Fu and the others blocked the five side gates of the miscellaneous sects, sensing the presence of the Void-Shattering Stag Beetle.

"You dare to trespass on the sacred grounds of Wufeng Temple? None of you will leave here today!" Li Fu conjured a golden sword that danced around him as he made a hand seal.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than the leader of the five members of the Miscellaneous School attacked, his speed so fast that Li Fu had no time to react. With a wave of his hand, a ghostly hand lashed out, and the golden sword was crushed on the spot.

Before Li Fu could even get his hands on the magical artifact, the other four miscellaneous and unorthodox sects had already attacked, giving them no time to react at all.

The four attacked without holding back, each move a deadly strike.

At first, Li Fu and his group were able to hold out for a while, but in less than a hundred breaths, they were completely at a disadvantage.

Compared to seasoned practitioners of various schools and unorthodox methods, Li Fu, a sheltered bird who spends his days cultivating in the temple, is far inferior.

of course.

The difference here is not in cultivation level, but in combat experience.

Just as they were retreating in defeat, a black iron nail suddenly shot out from the darkness, piercing through a Taoist priest at the third level of Qi Refining. His spiritual energy was instantly corrupted by the ghostly energy within the black nail.

"Help me!"

The man reached out to try and grasp at any chance of survival, but within moments, all hope vanished.

When Li Fu glanced to the side, the corpse and the magical artifacts had already been taken by that person, completely becoming someone else's spoils of war.

"None of you will escape!"

The leader's eyes were filled with murderous intent. With a flick of his wrist, he crushed the talisman that Li Fu had thrown out.

"Li Fu is no match for him!"

Hidden in the wooden house, unnoticed by anyone, Gu Qing's expression suddenly changed.
