"Please have a seat, Lord Tang!" Ling Yi did not expose the old man Tang Kun's little scheme.
"Thank you!" Tang Kun sat down and then expressed his gratitude to Ling Yi for giving him the pills.
After chatting about other random things, he changed the subject and tentatively asked, "Brother Ling Yi, have you heard about the recent disappearances of people in the city?"
"I've heard of it!" Ling Yi nodded.
"With your level of cultivation, you still can't tell who did it?"
"These matters are best left to Lord Tang to handle; it's inappropriate for me to interfere in the investigation."
Tang Kun couldn't glean anything from Ling Yi's expression, but this only deepened his suspicions.
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will immediately take root, grow rapidly, and become powerful.
For example, Ling Yi rarely goes out, which Tang Kun believes is because he is worried about being discovered by righteous cultivators.
For example, Ling Yi's Aura is very special. Although you can't sense any evil energy, it's not the Spiritual Qi of a cultivator either.
Ling Yi has never said what kind of cultivation technique he practices!
No one has ever seen Ling Yi cultivate; how did his strength increase?
Tang Kun had already made his decision. For the sake of the people of Yuzhou City, regardless of whether Ling Yi was an evil cultivator or not, he would contact Mount Shu as soon as possible and inform Qingwei about this matter.
After chatting idly with Ling Yi for a while, Tang Kun rushed back to Tang Family Tang Family Fort and locked himself in his study.
A stick of special incense was lit, activating the unique communication Formation of Mount Shu.
Above the fragrant air, wisps of blue smoke rose, forming a misty haze, and a faint, white array of cesium slowly emerged.
As the array finally solidified, a projection appeared above Lingxiang, showing a young man holding a cane and wearing a white Daoist robe.
"Greetings, Lord Tang. I am Chang Yin. The Sect Leader is busy with important matters. Please inform me of what has happened."
At this moment, Qingwei and the other four elders were dealing with Demon Lord Chonglou. Although they sensed Tang Kun's contact, they had no time to deal with it, so they forwarded the "signal" to Chang Yin.
Chang Yin knew that since Tang Kun had used the communication Formation, it must be something important, so he didn't waste any more words.
Three years ago, a beggar in Yuzhou City accidentally obtained a cultivation inheritance. But from that time on, people in Yuzhou City began to disappear frequently. However, since those who disappeared were mostly local thugs, bullies, and wicked people... But starting half a month ago, the number of missing people began to increase, therefore...
"Does Lord Tang suspect this person is a heretical cultivator?"
"That's exactly right."
"Could you conduct a detailed investigation?"
"I've been sending people to investigate this matter, but to no avail."
"If they are evil cultivators, we will not stand idly by. Lord Tang, please rest assured. Our Mount Shu takes it upon ourselves to slay demons and eliminate evil spirits, and we will never tolerate evil cultivators. I will report this matter to the sect leader shortly."
"Thank you for your trouble!"
After saying that, Tang Kun extinguished the incense and severed the connection.
This spiritual incense is a treasure; every bit used diminishes it. Now, only a small portion remains, and I fear that after one or two more uses, its Spiritual Power will be completely depleted.
Tang Kun carefully placed the fragrant incense into the cabinet and locked it away before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, on Mount Shu, Qingwei and his group of five were busy suppressing the Demon Locking Tower!
Demon Lord Chonglou stormed into the Demon-Locking Tower of Mount Shu, taking away the Demon Sword and cracking the tower in the process.
A large number of demons have escaped from the Demon Locking Tower. If these demons are not dealt with in time, they will surely wreak havoc on the human world.
It's important to know that the demons in the Demon Locking Tower are all survivors of the survival of the fittest, and each one is a powerful Great Demon with considerable strength.
It took Qingwei and his group of five half a month to temporarily suppress the Demon Locking Tower.
"To repair the Demon Locking Tower, we need the power of the Five Spirit Orbs," said the weary Sect Leader Qingwei in the main hall of Mount Shu.
For the past two weeks, the five strongest experts of Mount Shu have been expending their magical Magic Power almost day and night. Even though Qingwei has now reached the Spirit Concentration Realm, he still feels tired.
"The time is not yet ripe; Changqing is currently breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage," Elder Gu said in a deep voice.
Elder Gu said this, everyone fell silent. Originally, Xu Changqing's journey down the mountain to experience tribulations was a plan they had already made.
The meaning behind Elder Gu's words was that this matter was the perfect task for Xu Changqing to go down the mountain for training.
Qingwei nodded and said, "We old folks will have to work a bit harder during this period."
All five nodded, and just then, Chang Yin walked in.
"Sect Leader, the Final Master, Elders, I have something to report."
Yuzhou City, Yong'an Pawnshop.
A tall figure slowly walked in; it was none other than the Demon Lord Chonglou, who had come here following his senses after leaving Mount Shu.
The moment Chong Lou saw Jingtian, his expression underwent a series of changes.
Surprise, confusion, disappointment!
Chong Lou's lifelong wish was to find an opponent who could be his equal, and then have a good, satisfying fight.
The Jingtian of today is no longer the Feipeng of yesteryear; he is now just a A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality with no cultivation whatsoever.
This greatly disappointed Chong Lou.
With a wave of his hand, he threw the Demon Sword he had taken from the Demon Locking Tower directly to Jingtian.
Jingtian caught it almost instinctively, his eyes shining, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "What a fine sword!"
"This sword is indeed yours, very good."
" Feipeng, I'm giving you three years. We'll fight in three years. Victory means life, defeat means death. I hope you can recover your strength and find yourself again in these three years."
After Chong Lou finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky, instantly leaving Yuzhou City and preparing to return to the Demon Realm.
Jingtian looked at the sky, then at the Demon Sword in his hand, and couldn't help but shout into the air, "Hey, you've mistaken me for someone else! My name is Jingtian, not Feipeng!"
At that moment, Ling Yi appeared beside him and said, "This sword was originally yours; you can keep it."
"But..."
You'll find out later.
"Strange, why has the plot moved up?" Ling Yi murmured.
He glanced at Jing Tian, then at the Demon Sword, and said, "Go to the backyard and wait for me. Don't wander off. I'm going to meet that Demon Lord Chonglou."
After saying that, Ling Yi also flew straight into the sky.
"My God, I wish I could fly too." Jingtian was full of envy. He knew that Ling Yi was a cultivator, but he had never seen Ling Yi Ling Yi a move or cultivate, so he had no idea how strong Ling Yi was.
Previously, Xuejian had repeatedly asked to become Ling Yi's disciple, which he hadn't quite understood. But at this moment, Jingtian had only one thought: he wanted to become his disciple, and he wanted to fly...
Chong Lou had only flown a dozen miles when he sensed an extremely peculiar Aura rapidly approaching him from behind. This Aura was strange and unfamiliar, completely unlike any power he was familiar with.
So, Chong Lou stopped in mid-air and looked towards the direction of Yuzhou City.
Soon, a figure arrived in an instant, its speed no less than his own, which made Chong Lou's eyes light up.
"A master!"
Chong Lou suddenly became excited. He hadn't had a proper fight with anyone for over a thousand years, and now that Ling Yi had appeared, he was truly eager to fight.
"Hahaha, I never expected there to be such a master in the Mortal Realm!" Chong Lou laughed loudly.
"Shall we have a fight?" Ling Yi asked with a smile.
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Come with me to the outside of the Third Heaven; this is not a place for fighting."
"Good!"
The two flew quickly into the sky, one after the other.
Meanwhile, many people felt a sense of unease.
The Mount Shu Sect Leader Qingwei, has just arranged for Mount Shu disciples to descend the mountain and go to Yuzhou to help Tang Kun eliminate the evil cultivators.
Just then, he suddenly looked in one direction in the sky.
He sensed the presence of Demon Lord Chonglou. He knew that the Demon Lord was searching for Feipeng in the mortal realm, so he wasn't surprised.
But what is that completely unfamiliar Aura surrounding Devil Clan Chong Lou...?
This Aura seems to exist neither within the Three Realms nor within the Five Elements.
At this moment, Qingwei thought of two words: transcendence!
Four figures suddenly appeared beside Qingwei. They were Jing Ming, He Yang, Cang Gu, You Xuan, the other four elders. Clearly, they had also sensed that unfamiliar Aura.
The five people's expressions turned extremely solemn. They exchanged glances, then also flew away...
Beyond the Nine Heavens, within the Spirit Court of the God Realm, the Heavenly Emperor also sensed this unfamiliar Aura, and he saw even more.
Because he is the representative of the Heavenly Dao of this world, somewhat similar to Hongjun, and holds some authority over the Heavenly Dao, he knew Ling Yi's origins in the blink of an eye.
However, like Hongjun, he was restricted by the Heavenly Dao and could not act casually.
Otherwise, when the Demon Realm invaded back then, there would have been no need for Feipeng, or even a single soldier from the God Realm; he could have easily wiped out the Demon Realm.
But he cannot, because he must maintain the balance of all living beings under the Heavenly Dao.
"Interesting. The Heavenly Evolution of Forty-Nine, one of which is the 'one'? Kid, I hope you can bring some surprises to this world. This world is truly too Bored!"
Ling Yi was unaware that his first use of the Chaos Golden Core's power had been sensed by numerous powerful figures.
The reason Ling Yi wanted to fight Feipeng was because he wanted to know the extent of Fei Peng's current strength.
Beyond the third heaven, the two stood facing each other, their feet resting on clouds.
Chong Lou crossed his arms, and the next moment, two curved blades exuding overwhelming murderous aura appeared on either side of his forearms.
The Blazing Blood Blade is the treasure of the Demon Realm, the exclusive divine weapon of Demon Lord Chonglou, and a divine artifact that is in no way inferior to the Demon-Suppressing Sword.
Chong Lou spread his arms wide, his black wings flapping slowly behind him, and demonic flames burning on his body, exuding Wushuang Haki.
For the first time, Ling Yi completely unleashed his power.
The Chaos Golden Core circulated within his body, and the Qi of Chaos instantly surged throughout his entire being. Grayish-white flames rose, with Daodao of seven-colored light occasionally flashing within them, making him appear mysterious and powerful.
"Fight!" Chong Lou roared, transforming into a streak of black light as he charged towards Ling Yi...
