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

Not long after.

Chen Ye, Daoist Qiuyue, and another Dharma Protector quickly arrived at the main hall.

"The Mother-Child Interdependence Talisman has already reacted, and the direction of the spiritual energy tide is the direction where Lu Xingzhi is located."

There were only three thick streams of spiritual energy within the tide; there was no fourth. That corresponds to the area thirty miles away.

Master Qiuyue picked up the Mother-Child Bond Talisman and looked at Chen Ye and the other person beside him.

"It's only the first day. With that old guy Lu Xingzhi's abilities, he shouldn't have found Deng Hui's trail so quickly. It seems that Deng Hui came to us in person." A sneer flashed across Chen Ye's lips.

But he did not intend to set off immediately.

Because he originally intended to take this opportunity to get rid of Lu Xingzhi and eliminate the last jarring sound in Wufeng Temple.

Daoist Qiuyue asked, "Fellow Daoist Chen, shall we set off?"

"The medicine hall cultivator has already delivered the message to Vice Abbot Lü. We have no choice but to leave. However, the Heavenly Principle Sect is still hiding in the shadows, and its whereabouts are unknown. Once you leave Wufeng Temple, it would be best to be cautious."

Chen Ye emphasized the word "cautious" very much.

The two Daoist priests exchanged a glance and both understood Chen Ye's meaning.

We must be cautious.

Then it will be slow.

We must not rush things.

"clear."

"I will make preparations now and depart with Fellow Daoist Chen shortly."

The two raised their hands and walked out of the main hall one after the other.

But Chen Ye raised his hand to stop the two, saying, "Be well prepared, be ready to fight the Tianli Sect cultivators. But don't fight to the death, our only target here is Deng Hui. We'll talk about the Tianli Sect when the Xuanqing Academy cultivators arrive."

"That's exactly what I was thinking too."

Daoist Qiuyue nodded.

"Even if we only manage to capture Deng Hui, we will surely be rewarded by the Xuanqing Academy. If we can even receive a medicinal pill as a reward, perhaps..."

The other person smiled with anticipation.

This made Chen Ye and Daoist Qiuyue burst out laughing.

We can get rid of Lu Xingzhi tonight.

They can also take down Deng Hui.

Killing two birds with one stone!

……

the other side.

As Gu Qing watched Lu Xingzhi, Deng Hui, and the others fly out of the town, he immediately tried to control the corpse-eating worms to follow them silently.

He intended to take this opportunity to deal with Deng Hui, but just as he was about to set off, the Corpse-Eating Worm detected an extremely hidden aura.

If the Corpse-Eating Insects hadn't broken through to the third tier, it would have been impossible to capture them.

Late stage of Qi Refining!

"There are even late-stage Qi Refining cultivators hiding in the shadows. I wonder if they're from the Heavenly Principles Sect or the Five Abundance Temple."

Gu Qing immediately abandoned his idea of ​​killing Deng Hui and decided to wait a little longer.

After all, whether it's killing Chen Ye or Deng Hui, the value of either of these things is far less than that of his third-tier corpse-devouring worms.

Although he was confident that the Corpse-Eating Worms could kill Deng Hui and escape safely, he would never take the gamble.

He was never a gambler.

Meanwhile, Deng Hui and his two companions relentlessly pursued them.

Even though Lu Xingzhi was using all his strength to control his weapon, Deng Hui and the other two were getting closer and closer, and it was only a matter of time before he was completely caught up.

As Deng Hui chased after him, he made a hand seal and transmitted his voice, saying, "You must be Fellow Daoist Lu Xingzhi, the manager of the medicine hall."

Lu Xingzhi did not respond.

Deng Hui transmitted his voice again: "Fellow Daoist Lu, you should be able to tell that your flying speed is much slower than ours."

"So what? Catch up with me first." Lu Xingzhi replied indifferently, and with a wave of his hand, he poured a large amount of spiritual energy into the magic artifact at his feet.

As the spiritual energy surged, Lu Xingzhi's flying speed suddenly increased.

Seeing this, Deng Hui smiled contemptuously and continued to transmit his voice, "Fellow Daoist Lu, why bother... Why not talk? Haven't you ever considered reaching the late stage of Qi Refining? After decades of cultivation, are you willing to die like this?"

"Of course I'm not willing to accept this."

Lu Xingzhi responded with a single sentence.

Deng Hui then transmitted his voice, and at the same time saw through Lu Xingzhi's attempt to stall for time.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, if you're just trying to stall for time, don't be delusional... Since you're unwilling to have a proper conversation, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The words fell.

As Deng Hui raised his hand, blood energy surged in his hand, and his speed increased dramatically, instantly surpassing Lu Xingzhi's fastest speed.

The distance between the two was also greatly shortened in a short period of time.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xingzhi's expression changed drastically.

"This guy actually used the blood essence he obtained from killing mortals to increase the speed of his flying artifact."

But before Lu Xingzhi could react, the two Qi Refining Level 6 cultivators beside Deng Hui also began to activate their magical artifacts with their own blood energy.

Its speed of eruption was even greater than that of Deng Hui.

One of the middle-aged cultivators, with graying temples and a wrinkled face, spoke up, his tone indifferent, "Lu Xingzhi, stop struggling in your death throes. If you don't want to die, your only choice is to join my Heavenly Principle Sect!"

The words fell.

Lu Xingzhi was taken aback.

Because the voice is very familiar.

"Fellow Daoist Baili?"

The wrinkled middle-aged cultivator spoke coldly again, "Lu Xingzhi, I didn't expect you to still recognize me."

"Fellow Daoist Baili, we have known each other for thirty years. Ten years ago, you suddenly disappeared. I never expected that you had joined the Heavenly Principle Sect."

Lu Xingzhi was secretly alarmed, as he had thought that the Heavenly Principle Sect had suddenly made a comeback.

It now appears that the Heavenly Principle Sect has always existed.

however.

Before Lu Xingzhi could recover from the surprise of suddenly seeing an old friend, a fierce ghost with bared fangs and claws surged out of Baili's body as he raised his hand.

The vengeful ghost stirred up a chilling aura and swept across the sky in an instant, before Lu Xingzhi could react, it had already slashed down with its claw.

Startled, Lu Xingzhi immediately dodged.

Although he dodged the ghost's claw, his body suddenly swayed and he fell downwards like a kite with a broken string.

Looking again at the vengeful ghost, it had already forcibly taken away his natal magical artifact.

Just as Lu Xingzhi was about to retrieve the magical artifact again, the vengeful ghost swallowed it and pounced at an incredible speed.

"You actually raised such a powerful ghost!" Lu Xingzhi exclaimed in surprise, quickly forming hand seals to cast a spell and then unleashing his sword technique.

however.

The vengeful ghost actually took the sword strike head-on, and then its entire ghostly body landed on Lu Xingzhi, transforming into iron chains that tightly bound him.

"Oh no!"

Lu Xingzhi's expression changed drastically.

I tried to struggle, but the more I struggled, the tighter the grip became.

Deng Hui stopped flying, looked at Lu Xingzhi from afar, and mocked, "Lu Xingzhi, you're an old cultivator with little time left, old and frail. Do you really think you can escape?"

"Overestimating yourself!"

Baili also spoke in a cold tone.

As the three approached slowly, getting closer and closer, Lu Xingzhi could only force a bitter smile and helplessly accept the fact.

Ugh.

In the end, he was ruined by Chen Ye.

However, he did not regret it at this moment, because after so many years of being successful in Wufeng Temple, he was finally being himself.

pity.

I finally got to be myself, but this is how it ended up.

What a pity.

"Kill me or torture me, it's up to you."

Lu Xingzhi closed his eyes.

Deng Hui and the other two exchanged glances but did not make a move.

"No rush, it's not your time to die yet."

Baili immediately raised his hand to command the evil spirit to bring Lu Xingzhi back.

But it was at this very moment.

An invisible aura suddenly swept across the sky and swallowed the vengeful ghost that was binding Lu Xingzhi in one gulp.
