Demonic Qi Was Nourishment Too

Another Lingxu Sect? Well, there probably aren't many experts like this in this realm besides those from the Lingxu Sect.

However, Gu Yuanqing's patience was running low at this moment.

"The Lingxu Sect is truly domineering. Yue Hong stole my things and I beat him to death; he deserved it. Your Lingxu Sect only came once, and that's fine, but you actually came to cause trouble again. Do you really think I'm a pushover that can be easily bullied?"

"Yue Hong is dead. How can the truth be determined by your words alone? Our Lingxu Sect has its own methods of self- Heart-Questioning. If you are innocent, come back to the mountain with me and you can prove your innocence."

Gu Yuanqing scoffed, "I don't have time for that. If you know what's good for you, leave now. Otherwise, don't blame me if you die."

Feng Zhong sighed, "Young man, I have already given you a chance, but you are stubborn and do not know how to cherish it. So don't blame me for being impolite. You dare not come up the mountain with Heart-Questioning, which means you have a guilty conscience. At such a young age, you have already gone down the Evil Dao. My Lingxu Sect has the responsibility to Oversight this world and dare not keep you in this world. You have truly brought this upon yourself and cannot live!"

As he spoke, he tore off the blue rope tied around his waist, chanted an incantation, formed hand seals, poured in his True Essence, and tossed it with his hand. The rope transformed into a dragon or snake, roaming through the Void and heading straight for Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing raised his hand to intercept with his True Essence, but to his surprise, the rope was incredibly slippery, ignoring his True Essence and passing right through it. As the rope drew closer, a chilling murderous intent enveloped him, and Gu Yuanqing felt the surrounding space begin to solidify, while his own True Essence began to stagnate.

Feng Zhong smiled sarcastically. The Hun Tian Rope was one of the Lingxu Sect's secrets for suppressing this world. Not to the Dao Fire Realm Cultivator, even Divine Platform Realm Trial People did not dare to provoke the Lingxu Sect, and this treasure was one of the reasons.

"This is a magical Law Treasure similar to the Immortal Immortal-Binding Rope!"

Gu Yuanqing immediately focused his mind, and the power of North Spring Mountain pressed down.

The rope immediately lost its function and fell from the sky. Gu Yuanqing Void out and grabbed it in his hand.

Feng Zhong's expression suddenly changed. How could this be? This treasure had been invincible throughout history; how could it fail to work here?

"It is impolite not to reciprocate!"

Gu Yuanqing raised his hand and struck down with a Palm Seal from afar, and the Green Mountain Phantom appeared.

Gu Yuanqing showed no mercy in this palm strike. The old man's words were full of sophistry, and his attack was laced with murderous intent. In addition, he was already in a bad mood because of the Demonic Qi incident.

Feng Zhong's expression turned solemn, and his entire body ignited with Dao Fire as he retreated rapidly.

However, the Qi was locked in place, and no matter how he retreated, he remained beneath the mountain's contours. The only option was to circulate his True Essence and raise his cane to point at the Green Mountain Phantom.

Gu Yuanqing's expression was indifferent as he pressed his hand down hard.

The Dao Fire on Feng Zhong's body extended towards his cane, gathering all his power to unleash the power of the Void Breaking Finger towards Green Mountain.

But in the next instant, he felt the surrounding space freeze, all his True Essence was forced back into his Dao Embryo, his cane broke, and his arm snapped.

With a deafening roar, the area within a radius of three zhang sank to about One Zhang, and an invisible Shockwave spread outwards. As the Gale swept through, the Imperial Guard soldiers not far away were blown into the air.

As for Feng Zhong, he had already been turned into a meat pie and lay paralyzed in the pit.

Gu Yuanqing raised his hand and wiped the pit, which was then filled with rubble again. He glanced at the Soldiers and then turned back into Within North Spring Mountain.

He didn't want to make things difficult for the Lingxu Sect, partly because Li Miaoxuan was also a member of the Lingxu Sect, but after being attacked twice in a row, even the best-tempered man couldn't tolerate it!

Since the old man had decided to kill him, he should have been prepared to die.

He who kills will be killed in return; that's fair!

Silence returned at the foot of the mountain. The Imperial Guard scattered on the ground got up, their faces covered in dust and dirt, and most of them were injured. They looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.

"General, are you alright?" A guard helped Zhang Zhuo up.

Zhang Zhuo's cultivation level was the highest among the Soldiers, but he had already suffered internal injuries from refusing to kneel. When he was caught in the crossfire, a flying boulder hit him on the head, making his injuries even more severe.

Zhang Zhuo swayed as he steadied himself, spitting out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood and gravel. He pushed away the Soldiers who was supporting him and looked at the scene of devastation at the battlefield not far away, equally horrified.

Is this what battles between the Dao Fire Realm Cultivator are like?

It's absolutely terrifying, they're completely inhuman beings. Compared to them, even True Martial Cultivator are like children. No wonder tens of thousands of Soldiers from the South Goose Path lost their lives at the hands of one person!

"General, this is the Hundred Grass Pill."

Zhang Zhuo swallowed the Restoration Pill, glanced at North Spring Mountain, slowly walked to the foot of North Spring Mountain, gritted his teeth, went in, and sat down cross-legged.

Gu Yuanqing, who was in the Mountain, glanced at it but ignored it and returned his thoughts to his Sea of Consciousness.

The three-dimensional Mountain Shadow is so realistic that every blade of grass and every tree is lifelike.

The subtitles remained unchanged, dashing any hopes of finding a clue.

Gu Yuanqing's disappointed gaze returned to Mountain Observation.

From the crack, wisps of Demonic Qi continuously escaped, some dispersing into the Earth Vein and some entering the Spirit Mountain.

Gu Yuanqing hesitated about whether to expel all the Demonic Qi from Spirit Mountain, when he was surprised to discover something strange: the Demonic Qi that had entered Spirit Mountain disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

He initially thought it was because Demonic Qi had mixed with Spiritual Qi, which was why he couldn't detect it.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that as the Demonic Qi entered, a new wisp of Spiritual Qi was spontaneously generated!

With a thought, he used the Object Control Method to bring a wisp of Spiritual Qi back to his eyes. He then used his mind and the Mountain-Contemplation Method to distinguish it, and found that this Spiritual Qi of spiritual energy was no different from the Spiritual Qi in the Mountain. He then absorbed it into his body, and it quickly transformed into True Essence!

He then used his mind to gather the Demonic Qi emanating from outside into a ball and roll it back onto Spirit Mountain. This time, he observed carefully and saw that as soon as the Demonic Qi entered the Boundary Domain Spirit Mountain, an invisible force began to wash away the negative elements mixed in with the Demonic Qi, and the Demonic Qi Revert to Root, Return to Origin and transformed into Spiritual Qi.

Gu Yuanqing's eyes lit up immediately. In this way, the leaked Demonic Qi would not only not affect Spirit Mountain, but would instead become the resources for Spirit Mountain to nurture Transformation!

Looking at this Demonic Qi again was like seeing a tempting treat; he kept drawing back the Demonic Qi that had scattered throughout the mountains.

At the same time, he carefully Oversight the changes, and gradually, he completely relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.

On Guixu Island, inside Lingxiao Mountain, the mummified man in the main hall suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the shelf on the side of the hall, where Feng Zhong's soul lamp had been extinguished.

He murmured, "Is Feng Zhong dead too? My connection to the Hun Tian Rope has also disappeared. When did such a master appear in this Floating World? Is there another Person of Heavenly Mandate like Miaoxuan, or did some Mighty Figure Split Soul into this realm?"

He looked in the direction where the aura of the Hun Tian Rope had disappeared, but felt that the secrets of Heavenly Secrets were obscure, and everything was hidden in the mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

"Very well. I've guarded this realm for five hundred years, and only four months remain. After four months, this realm will have nothing to do with me. Why bother getting involved in this mess? Genius or Mighty Figure, let them be."

As he finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
