Come Back to Mount Shu with Me
In a short while, Chen Changqing had already arrived in front of Xiaoqian.
Upon recognizing Chen Changqing, Xiaoqian was so shocked she could barely speak.
"Oh... my benefactor!!"
Her face was filled with disbelief.
I never expected Chen Changqing to appear at this time.
Xiaoqian was almost in despair when faced with the attack from the White-Browed Monk and others.
Chen Changqing glanced at Xiaoqian, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
The next moment, his gaze shifted, sweeping over the White-Browed Monk and the others.
Upon receiving Chen Changqing's gaze, the White-Browed Monk and the other monks were all greatly shaken.
That sword strike just now easily shattered all their techniques.
Moreover, the aura emanating from Chen Changqing had already surpassed the Nascent Soul stage and reached the Spirit Transformation stage.
How could that be?
"This town has been shrouded by my Buddhist Sect formation, yet he managed to enter without a sound?"
"Spirit Transformation stage expert?"
"How could we have alerted such a being?"
"..."
Many Buddhist Sect disciples whispered among themselves, their expressions filled with panic.
After all, they shrouded the town in an array to prevent others from discovering what they were doing.
The White-Browed Monk glanced at Chen Changqing, a barely perceptible glint of something unusual flashing in his eyes.
He quickly stepped forward, the coldness and ruthlessness on his face vanishing, replaced by a compassionate and merciful expression.
Upon entering, the White-Browed Monk bowed deeply to Chen Changqing, appearing extremely respectful, and then began chanting Buddhist prayers:
"Amitabha Buddha!"
"Senior, we are disciples of the Great Thunder Sound Temple."
"Having passed through this place, I discovered that this Fierce Ghost is wreaking havoc and harming living beings. Therefore, I am performing exorcism rituals to help it pass on and restore peace to this area!"
"I was unaware of your presence, senior. I have been very offensive and hope you will forgive me!"
The White-Browed Monk spoke with great earnestness.
If someone unaware of the truth were to see this, they would truly be deceived by the old monk's words.
Unfortunately, Chen Changqing had already sensed this place beforehand.
They had witnessed everything that the old monk and his Buddhist Sect disciples had done.
Xiaoqian, who was being protected behind Chen Changqing, became anxious after hearing what the White-Browed Monk said.
He was just about to explain to Chen Changqing.
Before Xiaoqian could even finish speaking, a violent aura suddenly erupted from Chen Changqing.
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura of pressure instantly spread out, completely enveloping the White-Browed Monk and the others.
Under this pressure, the White-Browed Monk and the other monks all felt as if they were carrying a heavy mountain, and even breathing became difficult.
"Hmm..."
The White-Browed Monk let out a muffled cry and quickly looked at Chen Changqing:
"Judging from your aura, you must be a righteous person, right?"
Why would you stand up for this ghost?
"Our Great Thunder Sound Temple is one of the Ten Great Orthodox Sacred Lands. Senior, are you perhaps going to...?"
Before the White-Browed Monk could finish speaking, Chen Changqing had already let out a cold snort:
"Snort!"
"Die."
The single word uttered was cold and chilling.
Just now, Chen Changqing had already guessed the cause and effect of the matter.
It was these Buddhist Sect disciples from the Great Thunder Sound Temple who slaughtered the entire town.
They were also plotting to steal the Merit Golden Lotus from Xiaoqian.
Such behavior is contrary to the righteous path.
He couldn't be bothered to expose their lies anymore; it was better to just kill them than waste his breath!
"Zheng!"
The next moment, Chen Changqing waved his hand lightly, and the Heavenly Thunder Sword instantly appeared in his hand.
When I looked again, the man had already swung his sword horizontally.
A clear, resonant sword cry echoed, and a vast Sword Qi swept across the heavens like a celestial river!
This sword strike was not performed by Chen Changqing using any Divine Abilities; it was purely a burst of sword force!
With a flash of Sword Light, the many Buddhist Sect disciples who were suspended in mid-air were all cut down!
"Pfft..."
"Puff!"
Their cultivation levels were only at the Core Formation and Golden Core stages; how could they possibly withstand a single sword strike from Chen Changqing, a Nascent Spirit Transformation expert?
"Ah?"
Upon witnessing such sword power, the White-Browed Monk was terrified. Without thinking further, he swiftly brought down his Tin Staff, and the monk fled in the process.
Unfortunately, Chen Changqing's sword force was unstoppable, and he cleaved the Tin Staff with a single strike in mid-air.
The mighty sword, undiminished in its momentum, struck directly at the White-Browed Monk.
"Bang!"
A deafening sonic boom resounded.
The old monk's body was cleaved apart by the Sword Qi. Before his nascent Nascent Soul could even emerge, it was instantly annihilated by the terrifying Sword Qi!
These scenes unfolded rapidly, happening in an extremely short time.
From the moment Chen Changqing arrived until the White-Browed Monk and the others were all killed, only a few breaths passed.
At the same time, a system notification sounded in Chen Changqing's mind:
[Bite!]
[The host has been detected killing a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator.]
[Reward received: 3000 AFK Points.]
[Bite!]
[The host has been detected killing a Late Golden Core Cultivator.]
[Reward received: 1000 AFK Points.]
[Bite!]
[The host has been detected killing a Middle Core Formation Stage Cultivator.]
[Reward received: 500 AFK Points.]
[...]
Upon hearing the system notification, Chen Changqing remained calm.
"Once my cultivation advances to the Spirit Transformation Realm, I will then go and kill these Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators."
"The number of AFK Points I can get is getting fewer and fewer."
Chen Changqing sighed inwardly.
Back when he was only at the Golden Core Realm, he could earn tens of thousands of AFK Points by killing Purple Mansion Cultivator were of a higher level.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Changqing came to his senses, then got up and walked over to Xiaoqian.
At this moment, Xiaoqian was completely shocked and stood motionless in place.
He looked as if he hadn't yet recovered from the shock he had just experienced.
Even a powerful Nascent Soul Cultivator like the White-Browed Monk was so easily killed by Chen Changqing.
Are you alright?
Just as Xiaoqian was lost in thought, Chen Changqing asked her with concern.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqian quickly snapped out of her daze and bowed respectfully to Chen Changqing.
"Xiaoqian greets her benefactor!"
"I... I'm fine!"
Chen Changqing waved his hand lightly, and a pill fell into Xiaoqian's hand.
"Take this pill!"
It can help you recover from your injuries quickly.
Xiaoqian took the pill and swallowed it without thinking.
She naturally trusted Chen Changqing, her benefactor, implicitly.
It was Chen Changqing and Rujie who joined forces to kill the Ghost General Granny Ghost, who was entrenched here.
Originally, Rujie intended to perform a ritual to help her pass on to the afterlife as well, but Chen Changqing stopped him.
Later, Chen Changqing also gave her the Ghost Cultivator method he had obtained from Granny Ghost, which enabled her to achieve her current level of cultivation.
After Xiaoqian had recovered somewhat, Chen Changqing asked:
What exactly happened?
Upon hearing Chen Changqing's question, Xiaoqian paused for a moment, then glanced at the destroyed town, her eyes immediately filling with tears.
