Becoming a leader of the immortal path begins with sowing the seeds of inner demons.

Before Lu Ming could speak, a sharp whooshing sound came from behind him.

Without turning his head, he unleashed a surge of true qi that covered his entire body, and with a grab to his side, he directly grasped the murderous flying sword in his hand.

A pure yang physique at the peak of Foundation Establishment possesses strength far exceeding that of ordinary cultivators.

The flying sword made a screeching sound in his hand, but could no longer advance even an inch.

Feng Zai's pupils contracted in shock at this move, but his reason was quickly overwhelmed by anger.

He didn't even notice that Lu Ming's true qi came from the same source as his. He raised his hand and pointed, turning the bright sun and the moon into a sword. Twelve streams of light flew out from behind him, piercing straight into his soul!

next second.

Lu Ming suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Just as the flying sword was about to pierce the soul, the flying bear suddenly blocked it. After a series of metallic clangs, the beast's innate powerful physique deflected all the flying swords away.

Seeing the few remaining hairs, Feng Zai's eyes widened in fury, and he roared, "These two killed my fellow disciples, why are you stopping me?!"

Snapped.

A hand suddenly patted his shoulder lightly. Feng Zai was about to move when he felt a suffocating pressure coming from behind him.

With the golden elixir talisman shimmering with spiritual light between his other hand, Lu Ming slowly walked to Feng Zai's side and said softly, "After I get to the bottom of this, I will naturally give you an explanation."

Feng Zai, his eyes red, turned his head and gritted his teeth, asking, "Really?"

"Of course." Lu Ming was the first to put away the talisman, then patted Feng Zai on the shoulder, walked to the two souls, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly reached out and sucked the souls into his hand.

The two souls sensed something was wrong, but before they possessed Lu Ming's body, they were only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Now, their strength was less than one-tenth of what it used to be, and they couldn't even struggle in Lu Ming's hands. They could only beg for mercy.

Lu Ming ignored their shouts, and with a slight thought, he quietly planted the seed of inner demons.

This time, however, there were no obstacles.

Perhaps because the two cultivators were weak and their souls were incomplete, when Lu Ming broke through their defenses, it was as if he were passing through a thick curtain of water.

It appears sturdy, but in reality, it's as easy as taking something out of a bag.

A few breaths later, the seed of inner demons was successfully planted.

Lu Ming released his grip, looked at the two terrified individuals, and coldly asked, "Are you sure you didn't kill these two?"

The soul on the left quickly said, "Senior, you are wise! These two bodies were bought at a high price!"

We really didn't kill anyone in Chenzhou!

"Buy?" Lu Ming sensed that he was telling the truth, but he was even more puzzled. "Explain in more detail."

"We are cultivators from Liezhou!" Right Soul pushed Left Soul aside to gain merit. "I... I was being chased by my enemies and had no choice but to go to the Two Worlds Pavilion."

They said that as long as I was willing to give up my physical body and spend another hundred mid-grade spirit stones, they could find me a safe place to live. I…”

Left Soul suddenly rushed up, pressed Right Soul's face down, and said obsequiously, "Me too, I also found the Two Worlds Pavilion, and I even know how to contact them!"

Senior, if you trust me, I can take you to them.

"You don't know, the Two Worlds Pavilion's business is huge. Many cultivators who can't survive in Liezhou want to come to Chenzhou to get a good status here..."

"There are more rules here, but it's safe!" Right Soul locked Left Soul's neck and said anxiously, "Senior, this guy is full of nonsense!"

Don't believe him!

I know there are other people in Chenzhou. I can take you to them, I just beg you to spare my life!

I am willing to serve you faithfully...

In Lu Ming's perception, everything the two souls said, except for the Two Worlds Pavilion and the matter of buying a physical body, was false. They only wanted to buy time to survive, so he stopped listening to their flattery and looked at Feng Zai, whose killing intent had almost materialized, and fell into deep thought.

Two Generations Pavilion?

What is the relationship between Chai Yan and Qi Yidao?

What is their purpose in doing this?

If it were just for spirit stones and a cultivator's physical body, that would be fine.

I'm afraid they have bigger goals.

We've finally found a peaceful place to cultivate; let's not let those evil cultivators ruin it.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming decided to go back and report the matter.

Potential problems should be nipped in the bud.

But before that...

Lu Ming looked at the two uneasy souls and asked curiously, "Have you two ever cultivated a method that uses the bones, blood, and souls of mortals as a guide?"

Or is it a method of alchemy that uses it as a raw material?

I happen to be missing this technique. Whoever hands it over, I'll let them leave.

The two souls were startled, subconsciously exchanged a glance, and then shook their heads in unison, their peripheral vision of Lu Ming revealing a hint of amusement.

They're not stupid; everyone knows the rules of Chenzhou.

To ask such a question so directly... it seems the rumors from back then weren't entirely unfounded. The cultivators of Chenzhou only appeared to have high cultivation levels; in reality, they were just novices in the cultivation world.

He has the realm of understanding, but lacks the wisdom of the mind.

It's incredibly easy to fool them.

The two souls immediately felt more confident and, without prior arrangement, gave Lu Ming an even more humble and obsequious smile.

Lu Ming returned the smile.

If you've done it before, then that makes things easier.

The two souls were stunned for a moment, and the next second, they suddenly felt a strange memory appear in their minds.

Zuo Hun froze on the spot, feeling as if he had become a strange rich young man who had joined a small sect in Liezhou that practiced Gu cultivation.

On the surface, that small sect guides mortals to cultivate, but in reality, it treats all its disciples as Gu poisons. The last survivor of the battle becomes the sect leader's elixir to enhance his cultivation.

The year he joined the sect, a giant hand descended from the sky and smashed the entire sect into dust, leaving everyone terrified.

Years later, he learned that the unknown powerful being had only taken a liking to the scenery of the place and wanted to build a palace there.

The wealthy young man escaped by sheer luck and unexpectedly obtained the sect leader's secret technique.

In his excitement, he turned his hometown town into a Gu creature, thus embarking on the path of cultivation...

Right Soul felt like he had become a young beggar, making a living by stealing and robbing, and thus suffering a lot of scorn.

But one day, he was unable to enter the city due to illness. In a shack outside the city, he witnessed a streak of light that turned the entire city into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

The butchers and merchants who had once cursed and threatened to take him to the authorities were all now corpses.

That immense power was deeply etched into his mind, and it unexpectedly propelled him into the realm of Xuanmen overnight...

"Who am I? How could I be a beggar?"

What a wonderful technique and what incredible power! I realized that my vision was too limited before. Why did I need spirit insects?

Why not just use a corpse?

Right Soul's face was contorted, he clutched his head and laughed maniacally, but his aura kept rising.

Zuo Hun looked on in fascination and murmured, "So that's how it is."

The Gu creature has such supernatural powers; I've wasted too many corpses before.

If we were to refine them all into corpse worms...

However, his talent was clearly inferior to Zuo Hun's; he only said it verbally, without any change in his aura.

Lu Ming frowned upon seeing this.

He could see the scenes that flashed through their minds as well.

To be honest, it's a bit disgusting.

His only advantage is that he can choose to directly experience the memories and insights, or observe from the sidelines.

If it were Feng Zai or others, they would have handled it more carefully.

Having confirmed the usefulness of the Mind Communication, Lu Ming decisively withdrew the Heart Demon Seed.

The two souls suddenly awoke, looked at their hands, and felt a strange emptiness in their hearts.

The insights and improvements I just experienced felt like a dream.

"My cultivation level... my memories?!" Zuo Hun frantically pounded his head, trying to recall.

"Hallucination? Impossible, that was me, could it be that I..." Right Soul looked utterly lost and closed his eyes tightly again.

Lu Ming stopped looking at the two souls' ugly behavior, took out the Shadow God Stone issued by the Law Enforcement Division from his pocket, and memorized the current scene, the appearance of the two souls, and their aura. He then turned around and waved his hand.

"Please do as you please."

Before the two souls could react, a pair of bloodshot eyes, almost overflowing with murderous intent, appeared before them...
