Why are you here so early in the morning again?
True Person Zhihua lay on the long couch, and this time she really didn't get up. Zhou Wuji sneaked in.
In other words, she had a free and easy personality, and her attitude towards Zhou Wuji was different from his; she didn't hold it against him.
This True Person was simply wearing a casually draped outer garment, with most of her bra exposed. Most of her legs were also outside the blanket, revealing delicate and beautiful curves in her calves, slender feet, and rounded toes.
A faint white light shone through the window, and the room was dimly lit, but Zhou Wuji felt that True Person Zhihua was dazzlingly bright, and he carefully averted his gaze, daring not to look at him for too long.
Zhou Wuji never actually regarded True Person Zhihua an elder. The two were less than ten years apart in age, Zhihua was carefree and playful, always joking with him and taking good care of him.
In his heart, True Person Zhihua was like-minded to him, like a close friend.
Of course, he also admired True Person Zhihua beauty. Beauty is always pleasing to the eye.
Conversely, True Person Zhihua treated him so well, he naturally found him agreeable.
Appearance may not be the most important thing, but it is a prerequisite. Only with this prerequisite can we talk about other things.
However, precautions should still be taken regarding sexual relations between men and women.
Even True Person Zhihua doesn't care, he still needs to be careful with his words and actions.
" True Person, it's important—"
Zhou Wuji told him about Xu Yan's situation, but he didn't mention that he had used the Heavenly Puppet to control Xu Yan.
He obtained the Heavenly Puppet Law Treasure from Jin Chuan, a junior officer; it was originally dug out from the entrance of the Fu Tianji Palace.
True Person Zhihua had seen him use the Heavenly Puppet to control the Earth Dragon, but he had never seen him use it to control people.
The Heavenly Puppet controls people's souls, treating them like puppets controlled by strings; it can be described as an extremely Evil Method.
Controlling insects and controlling people are not the same thing.
Although he and True Person Zhihua were good friends, there was no need to elaborate.
" Xu Tianming?"
True Person Zhihua's expression also became more solemn. She had heard of this name before; he was a very famous Old Devil in the Yin Yang Dao, known for his despicable and shameless nature.
Such a powerful demon is elusive and possesses high cultivation. Moreover, even if you were to meet him, you might not recognize him.
This man has roamed the world for many years and is a well-known figure within the Demonic Sect.
True Person Zhihua was somewhat skeptical. How did Zhou Wuji know that the other party was Xu Tianming?
She asked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Zhou Wuji said with absolute certainty.
True Person Zhihua nodded. She knew Zhou Wuji must have some tricks up his sleeve, but she wouldn't ask any more questions.
As Zhou Wuji steadily moved forward step by step, everyone knew that this genius must have a secret.
As long as one is a disciple of a sect, no one will pry into the secrets of others unless it involves the sect's inherited Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment.
Moreover, Zhou Wuji received Northern Emperor's Blessing in the transmission of ordination and regalia. It is quite normal for someone recognized by the Northern Emperor to possess some supernatural abilities.
"Alright, let's go." True Person Zhihua also became interested and immediately decided to go.
Zhou Wuji and said, " True Person, Xu Tianming are great demons. Are we confident in our abilities?"
This is no small matter; we need to find out the details.
If the two of them were to ambush Xu Tianming but couldn't defeat Xu Tianming, it wouldn't just be a joke, but also put their lives in danger.
True Person Zhihua smiled enigmatically, "Are you afraid I can't beat Xu Tianming?"
"It's always good to be cautious. After all, he's a notorious villain." Zhou Wuji nodded in agreement.
"You're quite cautious."
True Person Zhihua patted her four-foot-long sword and said proudly, " The Seven Star Heavenly Gang Sword, First Rank treasure sword. Even if Xu Tianming has a powerful Divine Artifact, there's nothing to be afraid of."
The Seven Star Heavenly Gang Sword is not Divine Artifact, but it is a treasured sword passed down through the sect. It has been refined by generations of cultivators and is perfectly suited to the Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword.
With this sword in her hand, she could fight even if the Devil Cultivator possessed some Divine Artifact.
Seeing True Person Zhihua's confidence, Zhou Wuji asked curiously, "Is that artifact in your hand, True Person, Divine Artifact?"
True Person Zhihua said, " The Heaven-Measuring Jade Dipper was lent to me by the sect leader for temporary use. It is the sect's supreme Divine Artifact, belonging to the sect and controlled by the sect leader, but it does not truly belong to anyone."
"I see." Zhou Wuji was filled with envy. His sect possessed such a powerful Divine Artifact, but unfortunately, he didn't even have the right to touch it.
He said with some emotion, "We still have some savings!"
True Person Zhihua smiled and said, "Since you have become True Disciple Candidate, I will make things clear to you."
"The sect possesses five Divine Artifact: the Heaven-Measuring Jade Dipper, the Heaven-Controlling Mirror, the Wuji Primordial Emperor Seal, the Central Heaven Northern Pole Sword, and the Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment."
"Among them, the Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment is Heaven Tier Divine Artifact, the number one killing Divine Artifact of the Daoist sect, and also the foundation upon which our Northern Pole Sect was founded. Unfortunately, it was lost hundreds of years ago—"
"The remaining strongest is the Central Heaven Northern Pole Sword, followed by the Wuji Primordial Emperor Seal. The sword and the seal are the sect leader's tokens. As for the Heaven-Measuring Jade Dipper and the Heaven-Controlling Mirror, they are only the lowest-level Human Tier Divine Artifact. Although they have wonderful uses, their level is ultimately not high."
Zhou Wuji listened attentively. The Northern Pole Sect was indeed very wealthy, possessing so many Divine Artifact.
The Heaven-Measuring Jade Dipper by True Person Zhihua, is actually very powerful. In particular, it has the wonderful ability to hold massive amounts of resources, and when used in conjunction with a large army, it is even more useful than Heaven Tier Divine Artifact.
That being said, such a large sect only has five Divine Artifact, yet he possesses the Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment, and the Heavenly Puppet also looks like Divine Artifact. He can be considered quite wealthy!
Although Master True Person Zhihua is usually lazy, he is actually very proactive.
After tidying up briefly, she put Zhou Wuji into the Five Spirit Pouch and flew straight to the White Earth Slope military camp on her sword.
In the afternoon, True Person Zhihua had already brought Zhou Wuji to the White Earth Slope military camp.
The two had discussed it beforehand; there were many people and eyes in the military camp, so they couldn't show themselves directly to avoid leaking information.
The two waited in the woods until nightfall before Zhou Wuji entered the military camp and found Xie Lingyun.
Xie Lingyun nodded immediately after hearing Zhou Wuji's plan. "Okay, let's do it that way!"
He trusted Zhou Wuji completely and wasn't worried that the other party was taking the opportunity to transfer him away from the military camp.
"I get bored sometimes, so I go hunting," Xie Lingyun said. "It's late autumn, so going hunting is quite reasonable."
Zhou Wuji nodded. Anyway, Xie Lingyun just needed to find an excuse to go out. As for whether it was reasonable or not, Xu Yan was under his control and wouldn't think too much about it.
The key is that the subordinates won't leak the information and arouse Xu Tianming's suspicion.
Therefore, this matter needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
At four quarters past 7 p. m. that night, Xie Lingyun led a dozen or so personal guards out of the east gate on horseback.
Xu Yan, who was hiding deep in the woods and keeping watch, was immediately startled by the sound of horses' hooves, and his eyes locked onto the group of people.
He activated the Dark Nether Mirror, and a group of human figures were reflected on its surface.
Xu Yan had seen Xie Lingyun before and immediately recognized the silver-armored knight surrounded by numerous guards as Xie Lingyun.
"This kid actually managed to escape—" Xu Yan was overjoyed. Without thinking twice, he immediately took out the Profound Yin Myriad Spirits Banner.
This is his master's Third Rank Law Treasure, consisting of a main banner and a secondary banner.
In his hand was the secondary banner of the Profound Yin Myriad Spirits Banner, a five-foot-long black banner that swayed, restraining the myriad spirits within it as they howled and roared, emitting gusts of dense yin wind.
The imperial army and the barbarians fought a great battle, Heavenly Capital in the area Yue Ridge.
The Profound Yin Myriad Spirits Banner has gathered numerous remnant souls, greatly increasing its power.
Xu Yan couldn't truly control this Law Treasure; he only felt gusts of chilling wind, the silent howling of ghosts, and a subtle resonance established somewhere in the distance—
A look of joy appeared on Xu Yan's face. This was because the main banner in his master's hand had generated a response, and a connection had been established through the Yin Spirit.
The main banner can lock onto the location of the secondary banner, and with his master's abilities, it will fly over very quickly.
Not far away, True Person Zhihua looked at the billowing black energy of the banner and said to Zhou Wuji with her Divine Sense, "It's Law Treasure, and of a high rank. Be careful in the battle later; if this thing wisps your soul away, it'll be gone."
Zhou Wuji replied, "My Army-Breaking Sword has achieved some minor mastery, with form and spirit in perfect harmony. I am not afraid of such Evil Dao methods."
True Person Zhihua glanced at Zhou Wuji, somewhat doubtful. "You've mastered the Third Rank Army-Breaking Sword so quickly?"
"I've taken Dragon Saliva Grass, a divine medicine for body refinement!" Zhou Wuji explained.
"Oh, right, since you're refining Golden Nectar Pill, you must have obtained Dragon Saliva Grass."
True Person Zhihua Zhou Wuji gave her the Golden Nectar Pill, she specifically looked it up.
The book does not contain a detailed Pill Formula; it only states that the Golden Nectar Pill must be made with the root of the Dragon Saliva Grass.
"You do have some luck. With the Dragon Saliva Grass as a foundation, it shouldn't be long before you forge Third Rank Army-Breaking Sword— "
True Person Zhihua sighed, " Dragon Saliva Grass is extremely rare. Zhou Wuji has only been at our academy for less than a year, and he has already obtained it. What else could this be but good fortune?"
She taught Zhou Wuji the sword in Yunyang, originally just because she liked the boy.
Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Zhou Wuji has already developed the demeanor and aura of a grandmaster.
Maybe in another twenty or thirty years, this kid will really become the sect leader!
Thinking of this, True Person Zhihua couldn't help but feel a little excited. She had broken with her Lineage, and her reputation was tarnished. She could never be the sect leader in this lifetime, and it would be the same if Zhou Wuji were the sect leader.
By then, that old bastard Zhou Zhiyi should still be alive. Let's show him what she's capable of!
At that moment, a plume of black smoke billowed in from the sky.
Sensing the intense Yin Qi in the sky, True Person Zhihua calmed her mind, gripped her sword hilt, and prepared herself.
Her Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword is different from others; it follows the path of the Yuheng Secret Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Sword.
It combines the seven Swordsmanship into the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang, simplifying complexity and achieving ultimate strength and power.
The Seven Star Heavenly Gang Sword in her hand is the perfect match for her swordsmanship; even First Rank sword can unleash power almost like Divine Artifact.
The True Person Zhihua had condensed Sword Qi, revealed no aura whatsoever. Zhou Wuji, who was standing to the side, was somewhat surprised. He had a profound understanding of the Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword, but he could not see through the Swordsmanship that True Person Zhihua was using.
Zhou Wuji also held the Tianshu Sword, ready to make his move.
The billowing black mist descended into the forest and swirled, revealing an old man in black. He had ordinary features, but his eyes were unusually dark and deep. He held a five-foot-long black spirit banner in his hand, and black mist swirled around him.
Xu Yan hurriedly bowed and clasped his hands in greeting. "Master!"
Just as Xu Tianming was about to speak, a sudden warning arose in his heart, and he activated the Profound Yin Myriad Spirits Banner in his hand without hesitation.
Countless vengeful spirits surged like waves on the black banner, transforming into dense black mist that enveloped the surrounding area, instantly forming the Myriad Spirits Law Domain.
The True Person Zhihua sword, disregarded any Law Domain. Seven stars shone on his longsword, and he and his sword merged into a streak of azure sword light, striking directly at the black mist.
