Under One Person, Mountain and Sea Painting Demon

But this time, he obviously predicted wrongly, as a pair of lotus-root-like arms hooked around his neck, disturbing his mind and his practice.

"Xia He, you..."

The next second, Zhang Lingyu opened his eyes, but what he saw was a piece of snow-white skin, which made his eyes blurred instantly.

Then, the heat that had disappeared for several days surged up again, causing his whole body to tremble and his heart to tighten.

"Taishangtaixing, respond to changes without stopping..." Without any hesitation, Zhang Lingyu silently recited the "Heart Purifying Mantra" again. He thought that there was something wrong with Xia He's ability.

However, just as he began to recite silently and a clear mind began to arise in his Niwan Palace, two warm and soft lips kissed him directly, blocking his mouth, and making it impossible for him to concentrate on clearing his mind.

"Well?!"

At this moment, Zhang Lingyu's eyes suddenly widened with surprise. He grabbed Xia He's shoulders with both arms and prepared to push her away.

However, when he saw the pretty face in front of him that was blurry, rosy, and seemed to be dripping with water, the strength he had just accumulated dissipated all at once, and all his defenses were melted at this moment!

boom! ! !

The next moment, endless desire mixed with the inexplicable emotion in his heart, like a rushing torrent, washed away the last bit of his rationality, and he immediately responded...

Feeling his response, Xia He's mouth curled up, and her left hand immediately reached for the belt around her waist and untied her bathrobe.

At this moment, the fate that was destined for the two finally erupted. Its power was so strong that it was not affected by any other factors. It was very short-lived, but extremely fierce...

Zhang Lingyu finally embarked on the destined path and ushered in a turning point in his life. However, all this was not much different from the original trajectory. It was just...

Just a thought difference!

……

……

More than an hour later.

"Master Lingyu, will you take responsibility?"

Xia He, lying on the bed, looked at Zhang Lingyu on the sofa affectionately and asked softly.

"..."

"I will take responsibility." Zhang Lingyu's expression was a little complicated at this time, and he seemed to have not yet recovered from the previous enthusiasm, but he still nodded without hesitation.

"Haha~"

"That's good~"

Xia He chuckled, then stood up and walked into the bathroom and started changing her clothes.

After a while, she came out neatly dressed and said to Zhang Lingyu, "I'm going to go back and get something. You just wait for me here obediently, okay~"

"..."

boom!

Without waiting for Zhang Lingyu's response, Xia He opened the door and walked out. Her footsteps were soon heard in the corridor, brisk and lively.

After this happened, she said she wanted to go back to get something. There was no reason for Zhang Lingyu to stop her. He was still a little confused, so he didn't do anything.

Soon, Xia He left the hotel and walked alone on the streets at night, feeling the cool breeze, and she couldn't help but close her eyes and look up.

It could be seen that there was some kind of light flickering in her eyes, but she suppressed it hard, and in the end there was only a lonely look back...

With a self-deprecating smile.

Just like that, Xia He continued to lift her feet and walk forward aimlessly, just like Zhang Lingyu did a week ago.

She just kept walking and walking until she didn't know how long she had been walking and Zhang Lingyu could no longer find her. Then she finally took out her cell phone and typed a text message:

"I won't go back to Longhu Mountain with you..."

"You don't need to be responsible."

the next day.

Zhang Lingyu, who failed to find Xia He, eventually returned to Longhu Mountain alone.

He originally wanted to keep this matter secret and wait until he had digested it, but the moment he saw him for the first time, the old Taoist knew...he had lost his virginity.

"Lingyu, this is your destined fate. You can't escape it, so learn to accept it." Without any scolding, the old Taoist just said this.

Obviously, he had already seen that Zhang Lingyu was destined to face this disaster, but even he could not stop it, because the power of the disaster was too strong and exceeded the scope of human intervention.

In other words, even if the old Taoist priest did not arrange for Zhang Lingyu to go down the mountain this time, and even kept him locked up in his body and by his side, what was supposed to happen would still happen, it was just a matter of time.

Even more, if we forcibly help him avoid the disaster, it is very likely to cause a change in the disaster. At that time, this disaster may not only affect Zhang Lingyu alone, but will affect the entire Longhu Mountain.

As the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, the old Heavenly Master cannot put the entire Mount Longhu into danger because of Zhang Lingyu's calamity. What's more, in his opinion, Zhang Lingyu's calamity may not necessarily be a bad thing.

After all, everyone has calamities in their destiny and it is difficult to escape them, especially for practitioners. If one can overcome the calamity with his own strength, his practice will surely soar into the sky!

Moreover, the philosophy of Taoist practice has always been "doing nothing and yet doing something" and "following the laws of nature". Unless it is necessary, Taoists will never forcibly avoid disasters, but will choose to face and overcome disasters...

Therefore, the old Heavenly Master sent Zhang Lingyu down the mountain this time, not because he was afraid that his calamity would implicate Longhu, nor because he had to send him to face the calamity, but just to go with the flow and let nature take its course.

"Okay Lingyu, don't think too much. Since you have returned to the mountain, you can start practicing thunder magic after a few days of meditation." Looking at the absent-minded Zhang Lingyu, the old Taoist priest had a calm expression.

"However, now that your boy's body has been broken, you can no longer practice the 'Yang Five Thunders'. Fortunately, my ancestor Longhu has made preparations. After seven days, I will teach you the 'Yin Five Thunders'."

"Yin Wu Lei?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingyu was stunned, and then his body shook as if he had been hit hard.

It was not until this moment that he finally realized what he had lost. His dream had been gone along with the dream of the past week...

It all came to nothing!

……

……

at the same time.

Qiyun Mountain, Anhui.

The five Youfang people said goodbye to the Zhengyi Sect and were slowly walking down the mountain.

During this week, they were not idle. While dealing with the problem of "Four Madnesses", they also continued to travel.

Four days ago, You Fang dealt with Gao Ning who was framed by Dou Mei and visited Wanshou Palace. Yesterday he came to Anhui to deal with Shen Chong and visited the Zhengyi Sect gate in Qiyun Mountain.

In fact, Mount Qiyun is worthy of being one of the four famous mountains of Taoism. It has a strong Taoist charm and a fairy-like atmosphere. Although it is only a one-day visit, it is quite rewarding for tourists.

The Zhengyi School on Mount Qiyun, like the Longhu Mountain, also practices the Golden Light Curse and Thunder Method. After some discussion, Youfang gained a deeper understanding of these two techniques.

"Old You, what should we do next? Are we going to Shanghai to find that 'bone scraper'?" Hong Bin asked as they walked down the mountain.

"Well, of course we have to go. As long as we deal with these 'Four Madmen' first, we can go and meet Gong Qing." You Fang nodded and looked into the distance.

"Beside Gong Qing... is Tu Junfang? With our current level of cultivation, we are probably no match for him." At this time, Xia Mingyu suddenly spoke with a worried look on her face.

"I know that we don't have to worry about Tu Junfang's problem. Someone will help him." You Fang smiled slightly, as if everything was in his hands.

“Will someone take action?”

Hearing this, the other four people couldn't help but be surprised. Youfang had never told them about this before, so they couldn't help but become curious.

"Regarding this point, I have an agreement with the person who made the move. I cannot tell you who it is or how it was made, but don't worry, everything is under control." Youfang replied softly.

There is no doubt that the "person who took action" he was referring to was naturally Lu Liang, but strictly speaking, it was not entirely Lu Liang, but should be Ding Shimaan who was with Lu Liang.

With the strength of these two "heroes", Ding Shimaan, it is naturally no problem to deal with Tu Junfang. Although Tu Junfang is strong, his skills of the Three Demon Sects are still inferior to the Hundred Arts that Ding Shimaan has honed to this day.

However, You Fang never told Hong Bin and the others about Lv Liang's problem. It was not because he did not trust him, but because this matter involved too many people, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better...

By now, he has almost seen through this guy Lu Liang. This guy cooperates with him not only because of Lu Huan's relationship, but also has another purpose - that is "Quan Xing"!

That's right, while Lu Liang was helping Youfang, he also made an agreement with Youfang not to harm the lives of Quanxing and others. What he was after was obviously the "Quanxing" signboard and these people in Quanxing.

Although his original purpose of joining Quan Xing had been achieved, it was obvious that his time in Quan Xing had made him truly realize his true intentions. Staying in Lujia Village was not suitable for him, as he was a cynical and playful person.

If that was the case, then what other force in the world would be more suitable for him to exert himself than Quan Xing? As long as You Fang and others dealt with Gong Qing and Quan Xing was leaderless again, he could take advantage of the situation and move in.

Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, Lu Liang’s own strength. The Lu family’s "Soul-Clearing Technique" alone is obviously not enough. At least... he also needs to awaken the "Shuangquan Hands"!

"However, based on this guy's progress, it should be soon..." Thinking back on everything that had happened in the dream during this period, Youfang's eyes condensed and he muttered to himself in his heart.

During this period of time, he had actually been keeping an eye on Lu Liang. After all, this guy could be considered a dangerous person. As he expected, Lu Liang was secretly seeking Lu Huan's guidance to improve his abilities and practice.

However, although he said "secretly", Youfang actually knew in his heart that Lu Liang must know that he could spy on his every move in the dream, which means that the guy let him see it deliberately.

As for the reasons, You Fang guessed: one is that he urgently needs strength and currently can only communicate with Lu Huan in this way; the other is that only by doing this under his own nose and openly can he avoid being suspected of anything.

You Fang had to admit that although they had only had one serious encounter, Lu Liang had indeed grasped his temperament very accurately. Indeed, if this happened under his nose, he really wouldn't interfere.

This is like a "gentleman's agreement" where everyone gets what they need in an upright manner. At the same time, Lu Liang has also handed over a handle that can put his mind at ease.

As for how You Fang would react if Lu Liang really awakened the "Shuangquan Hands" five years in advance and became the new leader of Quan Xing...it's actually very simple.

First of all, as long as Lu Liang doesn't use this ability against him or the people around him, he won't say anything more. As for what he wants to do with "Shuangquan Hands" and "Quanxing", as long as it doesn't affect him, he will turn a blind eye.

Of course, Youfang had already taken the necessary insurance measures from the beginning. The part of the copy of "Diagram of Twelve Beasts Eating Ghosts" that he left for Lu Liang was his eyes.

Although that thing was completely harmless to Lu Liang, as long as it existed, Youfang could sense Lu Liang's thoughts, or at least the "malicious" thoughts towards him. He had already told Lu Liang this, and Lu Liang gladly accepted it.

For Lu Liang, this is his only powerful means of attack now. He will not give up easily until he truly masters the ability to match or even surpass it.

At the same time, with Youfang's current ability, it would be impossible for Lu Liang to remove it even after awakening. The only way to remove it, besides seeking help from a master with strong soul cultivation, is for Youfang to do it himself.

It can be said that this mark is both an insurance and a "contract" for cooperation between Youfang and Lu Liang. As long as this mark exists, the relationship between the two will definitely be friendly.

Just as You Fang had thought before, he only wanted "cooperation" with Lu Liang, and now that he is powerful and has done Lu Liang a favor, this cannot be considered an excessive behavior but a normal operation.

As for if Lu Liang really becomes the new "acting leader" of Quan Xing and wants to slightly change the cooperation relationship between the two, that's fine too, everything can be discussed...

But at least for now, the relationship between the two still has to rely on this kind of external force. After all, no matter whether Lu Liang believes in You Fang or not, at least You Fang cannot completely trust Lu Liang.

In this way, the five people walked down the mountain while discussing their future arrangements. At the foot of the mountain, a figure was quietly waiting there, it was Shen Chong, the "Bane Seedling".

Speaking of which, this guy is really interesting. After being subdued by five people, he directly became a fence-sitter and felt very comfortable with it. He even took the initiative to give advice to several people and help them fool others.

But think about it, this is consistent with this guy's personality. He has the ability similar to "loan sharking" and is a "lender" himself. This kind of people are also the most versatile and understand what "flexibility" means.

And it was obvious that this guy had realized that Youfang and the others did not want to kill him. In that case, he would just do whatever he felt comfortable with.

"Everyone, are you done?" Seeing You Fang and his companions coming down, Shen Chong pushed his glasses and then waved with a smile.

"I sent a message to Xia He early this morning and confirmed her location. So, when are you leaving? Do you want me to join you?" He picked up the phone and showed the chat history to several people.

"We'll be flying there soon, so you just stay here and wait for news." After looking at the chat history, You Fang nodded.

"By the way, how are Gong Qing and Ding Shian doing?" he asked immediately afterwards, "It's been so long, do they have any suspicions?"

When they went up the mountain yesterday, Shen Chong promised them that he could definitely keep Gong Qing and Ding Shimaan under control, so they could rest assured.

"Don't worry. I worked with Dou Mei and Yu Huadu to create the illusion that you are wandering around Jiangxi and may return to Zhejiang. This way, they will continue to wait and will not act rashly."

Youfang naturally knew this. He asked this question just to see if this guy was honest. Facts proved that he was indeed a qualified fence-sitter.

In this case, there was no need for them to stay here any longer. Anhui was still some distance away from Shanghai. Due to special circumstances and for safety reasons, they chose to fly there.

Of course, since they were going to "catch someone", they naturally couldn't do without an extremely useful tool like Yu Huadu. This guy had already been waiting at the airport, and the few of them soon met up with him.

Then, the group of six rushed to Shanghai without stopping and got off the plane around the evening. Afterwards, with the confirmation of Yu Huadu, Shen Chong, and Lu Liang, they found Xia He's residence.

But obviously, Xia He will not be in the hotel at this point. Based on her long-standing habit, she is either in the bar or on the way to the bar. There will be no third option.

So, after sneaking into his room and making some arrangements, the few of them waited silently. During this period, Yu Huadu also mobilized his younger brothers in Shanghai to start checking the surrounding bars.

I have to say that this guy Yu Huadu is really useful. With the manpower under his command and the fact that the people Xia He would go to are usually gay, it didn't take long for him to lock on to the target.

However, what surprised them was that Xia He was actually drunk in the bar at this time... really drunk!

She did not use Qi to remove the influence of alcohol, but allowed the alcohol to paralyze her and make her unconscious on the spot.

Not only that, her abilities seemed to have exploded as they were freed from her limitations. Due to the increase in her own hormones and desires, the entire bar became a field of passion.

If it weren't for the Domain-Transforming Poison Intelligence, and if the person sent was a woman, she would have probably drowned there before the message was delivered.

Although they didn't know why Xia He did this, since they had already found her, they naturally stopped waiting in the hotel and went straight to kill her...
