Chapter 356: Rebuke the heroes: I cannot stand you bullying True Person Zhang!

Mount Wudang, Taihe Palace.

As the voice spoke, a bloody light pierced through the void and arrived. A disheveled head, face ferocious, eyes wide open as if dying with deep resentment, hung in the middle of the great hall.

"Quanzhen Sect... True Person Li Zhangsheng?! He has actually... come as well?!"

"Heishan Old Demon?! Who... is this?!"

"..."

Hearing Li Zhangsheng's voice, all the martial artists in the Taihe Palace were shaken and couldn't help but look outside.

"Heishan Old Demon?! Li Zhangsheng has actually beheaded... the Heishan Old Demon?!"

"How is this possible?! Hasn't the Heishan Old Demon always stayed in the Jibei?!"

"..."

Those who knew of the Heishan Old Demon couldn't help but change color, looking at the head hanging in the void with grave expressions.

Just then, a figure slowly emerged, as if walking out of the void. Composed and calm, handsome as jade, every movement was extraordinary, as if he were an immortal among men.

"True Person Li?!"

Seeing Li Zhangsheng's figure and sensing the divine ability aura surrounding him, Zhang Sanfeng trembled all over, his heart filled with disbelief: Divine Ability Realm?!

Li Zhangsheng has actually... reached the Divine Ability Realm?!

Perhaps others could not sense it, but Zhang Sanfeng was a half-step Shattered Void expert, and since Li Zhangsheng had not intentionally hidden it, Zhang Sanfeng sensed directly that the aura on Li Zhangsheng was indeed the Divine Ability Realm!

How old is he?!

He attained the Land Immortal Realm... it seems it hasn't been long since then, has it?!

Zhang Sanfeng was dazed. Thinking of Li Zhangsheng's age and the time he had attained the Land Immortal Realm, he fell silent instantly, shocked beyond measure!

He opened his mouth, seemingly not knowing what to say.

"True Person Zhang, please forgive me!"

"I came in a bit of a hurry and did not prepare a congratulatory gift!"

"Fortunately, I encountered the Heishan Old Demon on the way! I just happened to behead him as a small gift to congratulate you, True Person!!"

Li Zhangsheng explained calmly.

"To use an expert of the Cave Heaven Realm like the Heishan Old Demon as a gift! How can you call that a small gift?!"

Hearing this, True Person Zhang finally came to his senses and shook his head slightly. His gaze shifted to the head hanging in the void, his expression changing slightly as he frowned.

"Hmm?! True Person Zhang?! Is there... something wrong with this Heishan Old Demon?!"

Li Zhangsheng's gaze was sharp; naturally, he saw Zhang Sanfeng's fleeting frown and couldn't help but ask.

"It is not that there is something wrong! It is just..."

Zhang Sanfeng fell silent for a moment, as if organizing his words. After a while, he said slowly, "It is just... this is not the Heishan Old Demon's true body! It is the Heishan Old Demon using his supreme divine ability to parasitize a human body; this is his human form!"

"Oh?! So it is not the Heishan Old Demon's true body?!"

Li Zhangsheng's expression stirred, realization dawning in his heart, and his face became quite displeased.

"Although it is not the Heishan Old Demon's true body, but a human form! For the Heishan Old Demon to parasitize a human body and cultivate it to the Land Immortal Realm is no small feat."

"I once traveled to the Jibei, intending to behead the Heishan Old Demon! But I was blocked by the Demon Qing Ancestor, Nurhaci! With the man and demon joining forces, and occupying the advantages of time, place, and people, even I... almost found it difficult to retreat unscathed."

Seeing this, Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and recounted his own experience.

The Heishan Old Demon had also once walked the martial arts world, and it just so happened that he encountered Zhang Sanfeng clearing away demonic influences, almost being beheaded on the spot!

Since then, after the Heishan Old Demon fled to the Jibei, he would not easily leave the Demon Qing; even if he walked the world, he would secretly send a human form to do so.

"Does the Heishan Old Demon reside in the Jibei?!"

Li Zhangsheng's heart stirred, and he asked.

"Correct! The Heishan Old Demon resides in the Jibei, transformed into a ten-thousand-foot black mountain! Suppressing the destiny of the Demon Qing lineage!"

Zhang Sanfeng looked at Li Zhangsheng with some doubt, but he spoke nonetheless.

"In that case!"

"True Person Zhang, wait a moment! Just watch my methods!"

"Since I said I would use the Heishan Old Demon as a gift! What is a mere human form worth?!"

"Now that I know where the Heishan Old Demon's true body is, I must use the real Heishan Old Demon as a congratulatory gift!"

Li Zhangsheng spoke solemnly. Every movement was magnificent, filled with confidence.

"This..."

Zhang Sanfeng muttered to himself, but he did not stop him.

After all, his disciple Zhang Cuishan had just been questioned by many martial artists, and it was Li Zhangsheng who had interrupted; if he were to stop him now, then I fear...

Moreover, Zhang Sanfeng was also looking forward to Li Zhangsheng's methods.

One must know, he had wanted to kill the Heishan Old Demon for more than a day or two, whether for the sake of the Wudang Sect or for the Great Ming, he had every reason to do so.

Unfortunately, the Jibei was filled with wind and frost as sharp as knives; and with the assistance of the Qing Ancestor Nurhaci, plus the other experts of the Demon Qing, even Zhang Sanfeng could do nothing about it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sanfeng felt a faint sense of anticipation.

"Wait!"

"True Person Li! True Person Zhang! What we are discussing now is the matter of the Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun..."

Seeing this, Master Fazhao of the Southern Shaolin could not hold back and jumped up to speak.

He was worried that Li Zhangsheng was doing this on purpose to buy time for the Wudang Sect.

"The matter of Xie Xun?!"

Li Zhangsheng tilted his head, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked at Master Fazhao, "What matter regarding Xie Xun?!"

"Naturally, it is the matter of Xie Xun acting ruthlessly and slaughtering the innocent!"

Master Fazhao felt a joy in his heart and blurted out.

"Oh! So it is... acting ruthlessly?! Slaughtering the innocent?!"

"I thought you were all here for the Dragon-Slaying Saber!"

Li Zhangsheng smiled lightly, his gaze calm as he looked at Master Fazhao and scanned the crowd, as if he could see through their hearts.

The Dragon-Slaying Saber?!

Hearing this, Master Fazhao's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly, he had a bad feeling.

"Amitabha! True Person Li, your words are incorrect!"

"The Dragon-Slaying Saber is indeed one of the reasons! But more importantly, it is Xie Xun slaughtering the innocent!"

"The poor Longmen Escort Agency, the entire family was wiped out! It is truly..."

Master Liaokong of the Jingnian Zen Monastery pressed his palms together, his face full of compassion.

"Heh!"

"But compared to Xie Xun! The Heishan Old Demon and the demon clan are far more cruel than Xie Xun, aren't they?!"

"The damage caused by Xie Xun's actions involves, at most, a few thousand people!"

"But the Heishan Old Demon and the demon clan have harmed not just thousands! But tens of thousands! Hundreds of thousands! Millions! Tens of millions! And even... the destruction of nations and races!"

Li Zhangsheng sneered, spitting out the words lightly. Looking at the crowd, his voice was calm, yet it seemed to contain infinite fury as he rebuked the heroes, "Hundreds of years ago, the demons ravaged the human race! Perhaps some among you do not know! But your lineages are ancient; you cannot possibly not know, can you?!"

Once these words were spoken, whether it was Master Fazhao of the Southern Shaolin, Master Liaokong of the Jingnian Zen Monastery, or the other martial artists who knew of the demon ravaging the human race hundreds of years ago, their expressions changed drastically, as if they could not utter a single word.

If they were truly selfless and righteous, they would naturally be unyielding; but among them, many were driven by selfish motives.

"Hundreds of years ago, demons ravaged the human race?! What is... this?!"

"I have heard a little about this matter!"

"Tell us more! Tell us more!"

"..."

Among the crowd of martial artists, there were naturally those who did not know about the demons ravaging the human race, and they couldn't help but ask.

Thus, those martial artists who knew a little of the old history began to speak in low voices.

"True Person Li! I have also heard of the demons ravaging the human race! But that was hundreds of years ago! And the demon clan was driven to the Jibei!" ===== CHAPTER 358 =====
