The mysterious and beautiful veiled woman took two steps and made a decision:

"This beast is cunning. He dares not completely anger the immortals, lest they become determined to eliminate him regardless of the consequences. I will bypass the human town and delay his actions. You should return to the sect first and inform the elders to wait and prepare. We will set up the formation according to the situation and suppress him in another place."

The two male disciples from Kongtong Mountain did not want their eldest sister to take risks. She could withdraw smoothly if she just left, and the beast could not stop her. But if she slowed down and fought while retreating, there might be changes!

Senior Sister Gu said in a commanding tone: "You must retreat to Kongtong Mountain first, and leave now!"

The two male disciples felt the breath of the beast becoming stronger and stronger, as if a predator had opened its bloody mouth and locked onto its prey.

They no longer hesitated and decisively flew into the air on their swords, streaking away like shooting stars in the dark night sky.

The people in the town didn't know what was going on. When they heard such a horrifying roar, they all hid in their houses and trembled, not daring to open the windows to look out. Even the babies in their cradles stopped crying.

The clansmen and servants in the Gong Mansion knew that the Nian beast was about to come out, but they were unaware of the concerns of the immortal cultivators. When they saw the two immortals flying away, they felt helpless and confused.

"The Nian Beast is about to come out. Why did those two gods leave? Aren't they going to deal with it?"

"Gong De, you have practiced in the immortal family, what's the matter with your fellow apprentice?"

"The gods are gone, and the Nian beast will come out to hunt for food. What should we do? Will we be safe just by hiding?"

Gong De found it difficult to explain clearly. When he saw that some of his clansmen were planning to go to the ancestral hall to ask the old immortal, Great Grandfather, to display his magical powers, he hurriedly stopped them and urged everyone to go back to their rooms.

Inside the ancestral hall, Senior Sister Gu saw that her two fellow disciples had withdrawn. She was about to take action when she suddenly remembered that there was a strange young Taoist friend with a mysterious origin who had come to visit her tonight.

She searched for Chu Wuzhi, but found that the white-haired young man had already left Chizhao Town. Instead of fleeing far away, he was heading towards Jiangjun Mountain when the ferocious beast came out of the mountain!

"Why is he going over there? Did those two snake demons ask him to go? The demon race probably doesn't want to be contaminated by that kind of backlash."

The woman took a few light steps, creating ripples in the air, and flew towards Chu Wuji like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Chu Wuji strode towards the mountain, holding the hilt of the knife on his waist with one hand and reading the map of "Yin Fu Jing·Di" with the other hand, his expression focused and calm.

Aunt Green Snake poked out her beautiful snake head, and with a kind of pre-battle excitement, she asked, "Wu Ji, are you planning to go find that beast to fight and spar?"

Chu Wuji's eyes were focused as he deduced the meaning of the diagram. He took a few steps before responding:

"Yes, I should be able to handle it within the Lihuo Mountains. Besides, the mountains and forests are my territory. If a beast that I can't defeat appears, I'll be terrified to go fishing in the future!"

"This beast isn't very strong. It's like a young beast. Its cultivation is much weaker than when it was a zombie, so we created a mountain-guarding zombie to help it through the transition period of a few years. But if you mess with him, Wuji, you'll be in trouble~"

Aunt Green Snake was still quite calm. She was confident that she could escape unscathed and protect Chu Wuzhi, but she really didn't want to kill the beast for fear of getting her hands dirty.

Chu Wuji smiled and said, "So, mother and aunt, don't attack the beast later. Just help me defend it. I'm not afraid of bad luck."

Bai Sujin and Aunt Qingshe stopped trying to dissuade their children and supported their decision with tacit approval.

At this time, Senior Sister Gu flew down to Chu Wuji's side and advised him calmly:

"Young friend, you probably haven't officially started your training yet. With martial arts as your foundation, ordinary little demons are no match for you. But this beast is another matter. He will make your path to cultivation even more difficult. I will lead him away later to prevent him from harming the people. You should go back to Elder Ning first."

Chu Wuji could feel that the other party was not looking down on him, but was more concerned about him out of kindness as they had just met by chance, and did not want him to suffer unnecessary consequences.

He asked doubtfully, "Senior Fairy of Kongtong Mountain, I have something I'm confused about. This beast possesses great fortune, and even cultivators are wary of it. If it becomes powerful in the future, won't no one be able to stop it?"

The veiled fairy flew through the air, temporarily following Chu Wuji's speed. She understood and savored the true meaning of Chu Wuji's words, and said:

"My friend, what you want to ask is, why is it that good fortune, which is clearly a reward for good deeds, has become a weapon for demons to commit evil? It has even caused the immortal cultivators to dare not act rashly."

This was indeed the question in Chu Wuji's mind. How did Fuyuan become a talisman and a shield?

If a demon wants to do evil in the future, he must first accumulate merits and virtues for hundreds of years before committing his evil deeds. Wouldn't that make him unstoppable? Anyone who dares to harm him will suffer the consequences of his good fortune.

But why doesn't my own White Snake Mother have this "privilege"? Buddhist monks take action when necessary, without any worries...

Chu Wuji sighed in his heart and nodded, "I do have this doubt. Please enlighten me, Senior Fairy!"

"The condition of this beast is rare, rarely seen in hundreds of years. It is truly extraordinary. Its merits and blessings are so great that they must have accumulated for two thousand years. Suppression is the best way to deal with it. If you really want a precise explanation, it can only be found in the saying, 'The world is unpredictable, and the will of heaven is unpredictable.'

If God could truly calculate the accounts of merit and blessings, how could the saying "good deeds don't bring good rewards" be so prevalent in the world?

Chu Wuji couldn't quite accept it, but he heard the helplessness of the fairy senior and stopped dwelling on it. It seemed that the fairies were really annoyed by this situation. They were not trying to escape on purpose and had long wanted to kill them to eliminate the trouble, but they were helpless when they encountered some tricky situations where they took advantage of loopholes.

He spread out the atlas for the other person to see: "I found this in the ancestral hall. It wasn't given to me by Grandfather Gong. Is this the right atlas? Why do I feel like I'm missing a little insight?"

"The diagram is correct, but it's not accurate enough. A handwritten diagram can hardly convey the murderous intent of the earth. I can show you a glimpse, just one glimpse."

After the eldest sister from Kongtong Mountain finished speaking, she flicked her jade finger and the handwritten map spontaneously combusted in an instant. The flames intertwined to form a majestic map of dragons and snakes rolling on the earth, which was overwhelming and majestic.

The flames burned out, the map disappeared, and the two of them got closer and closer to the beast.

"I've finished showing you the map, it's time for you to leave..."

Before the veiled woman finished her words, Chu Wuji advanced instead of retreating, as if he had been blessed with some kind of power. As soon as he entered the area of ​​the mountains, he felt like a fish in water. His momentum soared and he flew towards the direction of the beast's breath.

The eldest sister from Kongtong Mountain was stunned and puzzled. "This power... is it the Mountain God?! The Lihuo Mountains are divided between several factions. How could he possibly control such a vast mountain force?"

The beast was equally surprised. His voice echoed through the mountains, and the mountains trembled and shook with his anger:

"How dare you, a traitor from later times, steal the position of the Mountain God? Who gave you the title?"

Chu Wuji followed the sound and finally saw the beast at the mouth of an inconspicuous valley. It was a strange beast that was only recorded in ancient times.

It stands about four meters tall, with a camel-like head and deer antlers, a hare of golden lion hair framing its neck, its front claws sharp as eagle hooks, and its hind claws thick as tiger paws. It is said that once a huo beast reaches adulthood, it has the strength to fight against a dragon and two Jiao.

Chu Wuji's gaze was fixed on the scales on the beast's neck, where a jade seal was hung!

Could it be that this thing is the national seal of the previous empire, and the beast's fortune was obtained from this thing?

He secretly said to Aunt Green Snake, "Aunt, wait a moment and take advantage of the chaos to quietly grab the jade seal. Don't make any moves, just defend yourself and don't bring bad luck."

Auntie Qingshe understood and scolded with a bad smile, "You little brat, you're looking for trouble with the beast, but you're reminding me not to get into bad luck?"

Chu Wuji did not respond to his aunt. He had already met the eyes of the golden-haired beast. His toes shone, and he stepped into the air. The rumbling and trembling mountains were instantly stabilized by his foot!

"You are nothing but a spirit born from zombies. Do you really think you are a general of the current dynasty?"

The golden-haired lion laughed loudly, its fangs flashing with dangerous murderous intent. Behind him, a group of buried soldier zombies crawled out from the entrance of the mausoleum!

The beast's face showed a mocking smile:

"How can you question my status as a general? Even the immortals dare not touch me. How dare a mere mountain god dare to overstep his bounds and transgress? Do you have the guts to do so? Do you dare to bear the consequences?"

Chu Wuji gripped the hilt tightly, and the cloth strap on the blade shattered for no reason, revealing a sharp cold light, and a strong bloody aura gradually enveloped it.

His figure flashed, and his speed reached its fastest in an instant, without even leaving an afterimage, as if he appeared out of thin air beside the golden-haired lion!

Blood Sword Sutra!

Then, the flash of a knife and the bloody shadow slashed towards the neck of the golden-haired beast!

At the critical moment, the golden-haired beast retreated half a step in shock, but the straight knife still cut an arm-deep wound on his neck.

"I dare to take the backlash of good fortune, why don't you dare to take this blow, and what about the tone you just gave me?" Chu Wuji sneered and released the flying sword Mo Zhi again.

In the past, what Chu Wuji feared most was that the enemy would not fight him head-on, but would just run away after discovering that he was a freeloader.

Now it is really like adding wings to a tiger.

A black sword shadow and a bloody knife light pounced towards the golden-haired beast again!

Chapter 195: Using magical powers to kill the golden-haired beast!

In the moment when the golden-haired hyena dodged, the green snake had unknowingly left Chu Wuzhi's sleeve, concealing its own breath and waiting for the opportunity.

A pair of turquoise snake eyes quietly stared at the jade seal.

At the same time, the girl's corpse, who had now been refined into a mountain-guarding zombie, swung her nails surrounded by black air and attacked. She scratched the air and slashed towards Chu Wuzhi in mid-air with claws marked with corpse poison.

"I'll trap her, Wu Ji, you don't need to be distracted." Bai Sujin said softly, and a few wisps of white smoke-like gas turned into a white python, binding the wandering corpse tightly.

Although it is troublesome to kill it, it is not a problem to restrain it.

The zombie with a green face and fangs made an unpleasant sound, twisted its limbs madly, and twisted its joints into weird angles. More and more white pythons appeared, locking every movable joint of the zombie and hanging it in mid-air.

After dealing with the potential threat of the wandering zombies, Bai Sujin cast a spell with all her strength to protect her son. With this protection, Chu Wuji attacked even more unscrupulously, without having to worry about dodging at all. He concentrated his attention on searching for the vital points and weaknesses of the golden-haired hyena.

The inky sword shadows and the crimson knife lights left more and more wounds on the golden-haired beast's body, and the snow on the entire mountain was stained with bright blood.

"Surge of Fire!"

Flames seeped out from the golden-haired beast's scales, and the golden hair on its neck was dotted with golden-red flames. The sharp claws of its front body pierced the ground—

Suddenly, the ice and snow melted, and flames could be seen surging from the cracks in the soil, like a volcanic eruption!

"This is my mountain. My name is on the deed. Does that make you excited?"

Chu Wuji shouted "Collect!", and the surging power underground disappeared, swallowed up and digested by the Lihuo Mountains without leaving any trace.

Even so, the golden-haired beast's claws were still stained with flames. Every time he swung his claws towards Chu Wuzhi, golden flames cut through the snowy night, like thunder tearing apart the night sky!

The claw marks of golden flames crisscrossed and were as dense as a net. Before the previous claw mark disappeared, a new claw mark appeared, illuminating the cold night with bright light, and the ground within a radius of dozens of miles became hot.

During the fight between the two sides, the aftermath spread to the surroundings. The zombie soldiers who had crawled out earlier had just formed a team and charged into the battle, brandishing their swords to kill Chu Wuzhi, but ended up dying in the unknown aftermath.

Not only Chizhao Town, but also the cities and villages of Tianji Kingdom which were farther away saw the horrific situation on Jiangjun Mountain. They thought that a great disaster was coming and burned incense and prayed.

The legend of the Nian beast has been around for many years, but it has never been so scary!

However, Chu Wuji, who was in the middle of the battle, did not have that worry. He only attacked and did not defend, occasionally dodging, and used the "Blood Sword Sutra" to absorb the essence of the golden-haired lion's blood and energy. His sword strikes became more and more fierce, like a sword demon who had been immersed in this art for a hundred years.

The eldest senior sister of Kongtong Mountain was dumbfounded. She observed Chu Wuji's moves. Except for the flying sword with the jade hairpin, the rest were all martial arts moves. It was indeed someone who had not yet practiced magical powers.

"How can he be so fierce? Even if there is a resonance of the power of the mountain, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

She didn't just watch, but used her snow-white hands to pinch out the "Guangcheng Jue" and applied it to Chu Wuji to help him.

At the same time, the eldest sister's graceful figure appeared in several directions and set up magic circles. If Chu Wuji was unable to exert himself later, she could use the magic circles to suppress the golden-haired beast back into the tomb.

Chu Wuji suddenly gained a force, as if he was in resonance with heaven and earth, making it easier to drive those forces that were free from heaven and earth.

The diagram he had just seen appeared in his mind again, and he was even more deeply moved. Unfortunately, it was a spiritual power of a cultivator, and it was difficult for him to try to activate it.

"Although this vast, ten-thousand-mile-long Lihuo Mountain Range can serve as my temporary spiritual vein, unfortunately, a section of it doesn't belong to me... Huh?"

Chu Wuji looked towards Jieshi City in astonishment. How did that section of the Lihuo Mountains become accessible? Did Madam Baihu occupy that part?

He did not hesitate, his mind connected with the flying sword Mozhi, and taking advantage of the moment when the golden-haired lion showed a flaw, he attacked at the same time with his sword, pinning the golden-haired lion's two hind paws. It looked like flesh, but when the sword pierced into it, it felt like copper and iron.

"Huh?!" The golden-haired lion was horrified. He found that his feet could not move.

A green light flashed, and the jade seal was taken away silently.

Chu Wuji broke away from the close combat and soared into the sky, his robes rustling in the wind. His dark eyes stared at the golden-haired beast, but the only thing left in his mind was the mysterious "Yin Fu Jing·Di".

The entire article should be divided into three parts: "Heaven, Earth and Man". The "Earth" part just fits Chu Wuji's current control over the Lihuo Mountains.

Deduction, comprehension, and practice...

"The earth is filled with murderous intent, dragons and snakes rise from the land!"

In an instant, the mountains seemed to come alive, murderous intent rose up, condensed into shape, and appeared as dragons and snakes, locking onto the body of the golden-haired beast!

This golden-haired beast is also a giant beast, but it seems a little small in front of the mountains.

"Having just transcended life and death and transformed into an ancient beast, how can this general be defeated here?"

The golden-haired beast's body shrank and turned back into human form. He pulled out the swords from his feet and intended to fly away to escape the range of this magical power.

However, with the senior sister from Kongtong Mountain nearby and Madam White Tiger further away, how could they just watch him leave?

Both sides attacked at the same time, the magic circle turned into a cage, the white tiger roared angrily on the top of the mountain, shocking the golden-haired beast back to its original form and falling back into the murderous encirclement of the mountains.

After the rumbling earth-shaking, the dragons and snakes that appeared from the mountains disappeared, and everything returned to calm and normal.

The golden-haired hyena was severely injured, and the ferocious body of the ancient beast was smashed into tattered flesh. Its life was hanging by a thread, but it still showed signs of self-healing, and its flesh and blood were throbbing.

Chu Wuji returned to the ground again. The flying sword Mozhi flew over by itself, turned back into a jade hairpin, and hung on his waist. The straight knife had no spirituality, so Chu Wuji grabbed it back through the air.

He felt his body and muttered:

"What does it feel like when good fortune backfires? Why don't I feel anything?"

A slender and graceful figure flew down, and the eldest sister from Kongtong Mountain said:

"Actually, it already has. There's a dark aura of karma swirling around you, and the white snake in your sleeve should be able to see it."

Bai Sujin sighed helplessly. She confirmed what the Kongtong Mountain Fairy said and said:

"Indeed, this black energy of karma is still growing deeper and heavier. This is a punishment from heaven and earth, a reprimand for those who kill those with great fortune..."

When it comes to the existence of merits, blessings, karma and evil spirits, ordinary cultivators cannot easily see them, let alone grasp the thread. This belongs to the advanced content in the field of Taoism.

Chu Wuji was amused and said:
