Fang Yunzhen had attended the Dharma assembly and witnessed Zhou Wuji's Zhou Wuji of activating starlight, as well as the enormous water mirror he conjured.
As Fourth Rank Devil Cultivator, Fang Yunzhen's cultivation level was very high, making him a top expert even in Yunyang City.
But she couldn't understand what the falling starlight meant, nor could she comprehend how the Water Mirror Technique could become so enormous.
Fang Yunzhen was filled with apprehension towards Zhou Wuji. Whenever she entered Yunyang, she would activate the Heavenly Mother Mirror, using this Fifth Rank Law Treasure to conceal her own aura, and even the auras of many of her subordinates.
She couldn't understand how Zhou Wuji had found her!
There was no time to think about anything else at that moment. Fang Yunzhen only had one thought: run as far away as possible!
Fang Yunzhen had been clutching the Heavenly Mother Mirror, using the Law Power the Great Darkness Heavenly Mother to conceal her aura. When she sensed something was wrong, she immediately formed a hand Law Seals and used all her strength to activate the Law Treasure.
Within the Heavenly Mother Mirror lies a divine image, its entire body shrouded in darkness, yet different shades of light and shadow outline the graceful figure of a woman. Her features are delicate and alluring, but her pair of dark eyes appear exceptionally bright. She is draped in a black veil as thin as a cicada's wing, revealing skin as lustrous as black jade.
The Great Darkness Heavenly Mother has many forms, and this alluring form is one of them.
Under Fang Yunzhen's Divine Sense Law Power, the alluring Dharma form of the Great Darkness Heavenly Mother appeared out of thin air.
The Great Darkness Heavenly Mother also brought with her a dense, inky darkness, which instantly covered the entire room, immediately extinguishing the light emitted by the oil lamp.
Moreover, the dense, inky darkness also masked smells, temperature, and even slightly distorted the space within the room.
At least several Devil Cultivator could not sense the presence of others; their six senses were filled only with an extremely dense darkness.
Several of the Devil Cultivator were high-level followers of the Yin Yang Dao and were very familiar with the power of the Great Darkness Heavenly Mother.
Surrounded by a dense dark power, they actually felt very safe.
Zhou Wuji, who was outside the room, also sensed the pure and powerful dark power of the Great Darkness Heavenly Mother, which isolated him from his connection with the several Devil Cultivator.
Zhou Wuji was also slightly surprised that the Fourth Rank old woman actually possessed Law Treasure.
He had dealt with the Devil Cultivator of the Yin Yang Dao many times and was quite familiar with many of Yin Yang Dao methods.
This old woman, whose life force was waning and who seemed destined to live only a few more years, was now unleashing a powerful and profound aura of the Great Darkness Heavenly Mother, which possessed an unfathomable mystery.
Zhou Wuji's Mind Mirror was shrouded in a thick darkness. He could only see a few faint figures, but he could not subtly sense the changes in the people.
He immediately concluded that what the old woman held must be Law Treasure to possess such power.
Zhou Wuji didn't pay much attention; the Law Treasure was indeed powerful, but the gap between the two sides was too great.
He held the hilt of the Tianshu Sword, using it to unleash his Sword Intent.
While the Mind Mirror could be blocked by Law Treasure, his Sword Intent at the Sword Spirit level could easily penetrate the Law Treasure ' Law Power.
Sure enough, the extremely subtle Sword Intent immediately pierced through the dense darkness, revealing the true state of the several Devil Cultivator.
Zhou Wuji pointed a finger and activated the Golden Light Spirit Incantation at its perfect level.
A dense golden light descended from the sky, piercing through the thatched hut and the thick darkness, and shone directly on the several Devil Cultivator.
Several Fifth Rank- and Sixth Rank Devil Cultivator Law Artifact, and the dense golden light easily penetrated their protective True Qi, shining directly into the depths of their bodies and into their sea of consciousness.
The Golden Light Incantation is one of the eight divine mantras practiced by Daoists, and like the Thunder Method, it is specifically designed to counter all evil spirits, demons, and demonic Devil Cultivator.
The golden light penetrated the Devil Cultivator Devil Cultivator's body, completely dissolving the True Qi within him.
It's like pouring boiling water on snow; it melts instantly upon contact.
The golden light that penetrated deep into the Devil Cultivator's sea of consciousness also destroyed the Devil Cultivator's condensed Divine Sense.
The orthodox methods of Daoism are specifically designed to counter all kinds of Devil Cultivator techniques.
Such innate self-control can only be countered by Devil Cultivator whose power is more than twice as strong as that of the orthodox Daoist methods.
Zhou Wuji's cultivation level was among the top in the Fourth Rank, far surpassing even Fang Yunzhen, whose cultivation was the deepest. Let alone these Devil Cultivator were several levels lower.
As the Golden Light Spirit Incantation descended, it completely dissolved the magical power Divine Sense of the several low-level Devil Cultivator Law Power, dissolving all their resistance and rendering them immobile.
Only Fang Yunzhen, with her superior cultivation and the protection of the Law Treasure, the Heavenly Mother Mirror, completely blocked the Golden Light Spirit Incantation.
Seeing that several of her subordinates had been subdued by the Golden Light Incantation, Fang Yunzhen became even more fearful. This Zhou Wuji was too powerful; even without the Heavenly Mother Mirror, she would have been suppressed by this curse!
She dared not hesitate any longer and immediately activated the Great Darkness Heavenly Mother Dharma Image to cover herself. Her figure transformed into a wisp of black smoke, breaking free from the golden light's restraints, and fled far away through the back window.
Zhou Wuji calmly entered the room with his sword. He glanced at the several Devil Cultivator were frozen in place, and casually activated another Golden Light Spirit Incantation.
The intense golden light descended once more, and despair appeared on the faces of both Sixth Rank Devil Cultivator.
One Golden Light Spirit Incantation had already dissipated most of their True Qi; another one would certainly be too much for them to bear.
As expected, the golden light descended and entered the bodies of several Devil Cultivator. The light continuously destroyed their True Qi Law Power, subsequently destroying the acupoints through which they circulated their True Qi Devil Cultivator, and causing devastating damage to their internal organs and the area between their eyebrows.
The Devil Cultivator felt their bodies burning and their internal organs burning, but they were powerless to resist.
In the blink of an eye, the eyes of the two Sixth Rank Devil Cultivator, whose cultivation levels were the lowest, were filled with intense golden light, and their bodies were faintly tinged with gold. They no longer possessed any trace of human life.
The other two Fifth Rank Devil Cultivator, though struggling to hold on, were on the verge of collapse.
Zhou Wuji glanced at the two surviving Devil Cultivator, judging that they would definitely not be able to withstand the Golden Light Spirit Incantation, so he didn't bother with them.
He strode out of the back window, sword in hand, and followed the Sword Intent emanating from the old woman Devil Cultivator.
The Law Treasure was still quite powerful, and Zhou Wuji didn't want to kill the opponent with one sword, so he could only deal with this Devil Cultivator slowly outside the city.
With the help of the Law Treasure, Fang Yunzhen could not actually fly, but her figure was like a wisp of black smoke, flying at high speed along the roof and walls.
Before long, Fang Yunzhen had arrived outside the city.
She was an excellent swimmer; if she could reach the Cloud Dragon River, the vast river would be enough to shake off Zhou Wuji.
The waning moon shone on the river, reflecting a faint shimmer.
Fang Yunzhen was delighted to see the river; it was only a hundred paces away, and they would arrive in the blink of an eye.
Just then, Fang Yunzhen suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and her sparse, gray hair stood on end.
At the level of her Divine Sense, she even felt the destructive power of thunder, yet that power remained hidden.
" Northern Dipper Yin Thunder ----" Although Fang Yunzhen had never seen this supreme Secret Method of the Northern Pole Sect School, she had long heard of its great name.
She dared not run any further, and could only turn around and activate the Great Darkness Heavenly Mother Dharma Form to block in front of her.
Twenty paces away, Zhou Wuji's fingertip flashed with a crystalline electric light. Seeing Fang Yunzhen turn around, he slowly pointed, and the electric light flashed across the void, landing on Fang Yunzhen like a twisted electric snake.
The Great Darkness Heavenly Mother twisted her alluring body, unleashing a torrent of yin and dark Law Power that completely blocked the twisting, flowing electric snakes.
Fang Yunzhen breathed a sigh of relief; although the Yin Thunder was powerful, it ultimately couldn't break her Law Treasure.
She hurriedly said, " True Person Zhou, I was merely passing through Yunyang and had no ill intentions. True Person spare my life."
Zhou Wuji smiled. He suddenly remembered the first time he encountered the Yin Yang Dao Devil Cultivator. The other party was only a Seventh Rank, and he had to use every means to kill him.
Several years later, a Fourth Rank Yin Yang Dao Devil Cultivator bowed his head and begged for mercy the moment he made a move.
It is evident how rapidly he has progressed in recent years.
He was secretly pleased with himself, but he kept continuously unleashing two more bolts of Big Northern Dipper Heavenly Pivot Yin Thunder.
Like lightning and water, the light twisted and tore through the void, relentlessly bombarding Fang Yunzhen.
Fang Yunzhen had nowhere to hide and could only desperately try to maintain her strength by activating the Heavenly Mother Mirror.
Another bolt of lightning, like water, fell, but this lightning was exceptionally solid, condensing into a straight blade of light that pierced through the somewhat blurry Great Darkness Heavenly Mother and struck Fang Yunzhen in the chest.
The Fourth Rank Devil Cultivator shuddered. The Law Power and Qi and Blood flowing within her body were blasted apart by the power of the Yin Thunder. What was even more terrifying was the sharpness of the Yin Thunder, which allowed Yin Thunder to penetrate directly into her internal organs.
The divine images that had gathered in Fang Yunzhen's Five Viscera Temple were all annihilated by the lightning bolts.
The lightning bolts, sharp as blades, struck Fang Yunzhen directly between the eyebrows. She felt as if the incomparably sharp lightning blades had pierced through her Divine Aperture, severing her connection with the Heavenly Mother Mirror in her hand.
Fang Yunzhen's mind went completely blank, and she lost the ability to think.
With a flick of his long sleeves, Zhou Wuji sent seven points of starlight landing on Fang Yunzhen, sealing off all her Qi and Blood, True Qi, and Divine Sense.
Fourth Rank Devil Cultivator, unable to control his Law Treasure, was utterly powerless against the Seven Stars Demon-Sealing Spirit Seal.
Looking at the sealed Fourth Rank Devil Cultivator, Zhou Wuji was quite satisfied. This was the first time he had truly fought since becoming Sword Spirit, and his Sword Intent in controlling the Yin Thunder was indeed much more powerful, easily capturing the Fourth Rank Devil Cultivator.
Zhou Wuji first took the black mirror from the man's hand; this Law Treasure was quite powerful.
Then, he activated the Heavenly Puppet, transforming it into countless crystalline threads that penetrated deep into the Devil Cultivator's body and condensed into Heavenly Puppet runes.
With the Heavenly Puppet Technique at its peak, dealing with a Devil Cultivator whose Divine Sense has been severely injured is not difficult.
It took about the time it takes for an incense Spirit Pulling to complete Zhou Wuji's Heavenly Puppet Technique, which successfully controlled the Devil Cultivator.
After doing all this, Zhou Wuji put the female Devil Cultivator into the Five Spirit Pouch, and then summoned the Vanishing Shadow Yin Dragon Steed back to the wooden house.
The two Fifth Rank Devil Cultivator were not dead yet, but they were suppressed by the Golden Light Spirit Incantation and could only stay in place, unable to move.
Upon seeing Zhou Wuji return, both Fifth Rank Devil Cultivator looked extremely grim. One of Devil Cultivator reacted quickly; unable to speak, he could only plead in his eyes.
Zhou Wuji removed the Golden Light Spirit Incantation from the man's body and said, "If you confess honestly, I might spare your life."
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything, I only beg True Person, to spare my life."
As he spoke, he noticed a burnt taste in his mouth, but he couldn't pinpoint its source.
Seeing that this person was sensible, Zhou Wuji asked him some questions, and the middle-aged Devil Cultivator dared not hide anything and told him everything he knew.
After exchanging words for a short while, the Devil Cultivator felt a burning sensation in his internal organs, and before he could speak, he exhaled a cloud of black smoke.
A hint of pity appeared in Zhou Wuji's eyes. "Your internal organs are being burned by the golden light; you won't survive."
The middle-aged man was terrified and begged for mercy, but before he could finish speaking, he collapsed and fainted.
Zhou Wuji flicked his finger, using the Tianji Profound Yang Sword Qi to transform the several Devil Cultivator, thus destroying all traces of them.
Having resolved these issues, Zhou Wuji rode the Vanishing Shadow Yin Dragon Steed back to the Lower Court. Just as he left the city, he suddenly felt a sense of unease. Turning his head, he saw a dark shadow rapidly approaching him from the sky.
The two were still several miles apart, but the gaze of the creature in the sky fell upon him, causing his Sword Intent to sense it.
Zhou Wuji was immediately shocked; there really was Third Rank Devil Cultivator!
