Chapter 479: Disaster

Watching Zhang Nuo's sorrowful expression, Liu Qingshan did not dare to ask more, but walked straight out of the great hall! Ever since he began collecting these materials, Liu Qingshan had been suspecting in his heart that Zhang Nuo might be trying to resurrect someone from the Demon Sect! Because all these items were related to the Demon Sect!

However, as long as this matter did not concern the Giant Spirit Pavilion, he would not interfere. After all, in everything Zhang Nuo had done before, not a single act was intended to plunge the Giant Spirit Pavilion into an irredeemable state!

A few days later, inside a hidden Cave Abode on Yulong Immortal Mountain, Zhang Nuo walked in slowly! It was extremely spacious here, located a hundred feet underground! Looking around, eight cultivators were tied to one of the walls of the Cave Abode. These cultivators were all male; the one with the highest cultivation was only at the Golden Core Stage, and the lowest was around the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage! Restrictions had been placed on all of them, and they were completely unaware that someone had walked in!

Looking at these eight people, Zhang Nuo felt very uneasy! Although the Cultivation World was a place where the strong preyed on the weak, the people Zhang Nuo had killed were all those who were detrimental to him. This was the first time he had done something like harming innocent lives to rebuild the physical body of Baji Laomo!

At this moment, Liu Qingshan had already ordered people to move all the materials collected earlier into the cave!

"Pavilion Master! The materials are all here! Not a single one is missing! Do you have any other instructions?"

Zhang Nuo looked around the surroundings and sighed long and hard:

"Find a few Array Masters! Remember! Do not use anyone from the Su Family!"

His tone was very low! It was as if a thousand-pound boulder were pressing down on Zhang Nuo's heart!

"Pavilion Master, since things have reached this point, please allow me to ask one more question!"

Sensing that Zhang Nuo was burdened with heavy thoughts, Liu Qingshan frowned.

"Ask!"

"Is the Pavilion Master trying to help some old demon rebuild his physical body this time?"

Stealing a glance at Zhang Nuo's complexion, Liu Qingshan said slowly.

"Things have come to this, there is nothing left to hide! That is correct, I am indeed going to rebuild a physical body for an old demon from the upper realm!"

Once these words were spoken, Liu Qingshan retreated several steps in succession, his face turning pale and then green, and it took a long time for him to recover! Rebuilding a physical body for an old demon from the upper realm! This sounded easy to say, but it hid a great mystery within!

Since it was an old demon and from the upper realm, it must be a figure from the Demon Realm! Where did Zhang Nuo get the soul of a cultivator from the Demon Realm?

"The Pavilion Master truly has vast supernatural powers! To think you could even obtain the soul of an upper-realm cultivator!"

"I obtained it by chance, and in order to get a certain cultivation technique from that old demon, I even swore a Heart Demon Oath that I would definitely rebuild his physical body in this lifetime! If not for that, I wouldn't have asked you to collect these things!"

Raising his head to look at the eight people on the wall again, Zhang Nuo let out a heavy sigh!

"The Cultivation World has always been like this! The Pavilion Master need not take it too much to heart! If one day some sect needed the Pavilion Master's physical body for this, they would certainly not care about your feelings!"

These words from Liu Qingshan touched Zhang Nuo deeply! Were Chi Bilie and Jin Buhuan of the Great Underworld Mansion not the same back then? In order to find the Mysterious Heaven Spirit Insect, they cruelly slaughtered all the innocent people in a village!

Before long, several Array Masters appeared in the Cave Abode. Zhang Nuo sternly warned them that no matter what happened today, they were not allowed to tell anyone!

These Array Masters had all been cultivated by the Giant Spirit Pavilion, and they answered in unison! At this time, Zhang Nuo gently flipped his right hand, and a bloodstain split open on his palm, from which a miniature tree grew!

Following a flash of black light, a Kuluotou flew out!

"Senior, everything is ready. If there is anything to do, just instruct them."

Under the constant nourishment of the life-origin power from the 'Divine Tree', this Kuluotou of Baji Laomo had long since become shiny and polished!

"Oh my, little Zhang, you are truly not simple! You gathered the materials so quickly!"

As the old demon spoke, he scanned his surroundings, then suddenly his teeth clattered together as he said:

"That's not right! It seems there is one person missing?"

"None are missing, he is here with me. His cultivation is relatively high, so I trapped him for a period of time to exhaust his Demonic Qi!"

As he spoke, Zhang Nuo opened his mouth slightly, and a pale blue Small Tripod flew out. At the same time, a purple electric arc flashed within the tripod, and a person fell out—it was Duanmu Xiaofeng!

At this moment, the Demonic Qi in Duanmu Xiaofeng's body had long been drained by the 'Purple Lightning Wild Thunder'. If Zhang Nuo had not controlled the power of the lightning, even his physical body would have turned to ashes!

"Nascent Soul Stage! Good lad! Even this kind of goods can be obtained!"

Sensing Duanmu Xiaofeng's cultivation, Baji Laomo was so happy he couldn't close his mouth! The higher the rank of the cultivator required for his rebirth technique, the better! Now that he had a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, it saved him quite a bit of effort!

Zhang Nuo reached out and cast several hand seals, which sank into Duanmu Xiaofeng's body. These restrictions, let alone the current Duanmu Xiaofeng, even in his prime, he might not have been able to undo them! Weakly opening his eyes and looking at Zhang Nuo's expressionless face, Duanmu Xiaofeng revealed a murderous gaze! However, he had no strength left now; like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, he was tied to the opposite wall by several cultivators. At this point, the nine cultivators with the Natural Demon Body were all gathered!

"I have other matters to attend to, Senior, please handle these things yourself! If you need anything, just have someone call me!"

"Good! Nothing else is needed!"

Baji Laomo used that silver eye to look at the nine people on the wall, not even glancing at Zhang Nuo, and spoke casually! In his eyes, these were his opportunities for rebirth!

Walking out of the Cave Abode, just as Zhang Nuo was about to return to his own Cave Abode, a disciple ran over as if flying!

"Pavilion Master! In the great hall, there are several people from the Duanmu Family requesting an audience!"

Zhang Nuo took a slight breath! This Duanmu Family had come too quickly! It had only been a few days and they were already at his doorstep! But since he had done it, he had to find a way to settle this matter!

"I know! I will go over immediately!"

Waving his hand lightly at the disciple, Zhang Nuo stood in place for a long time, then rode his escape light and flew toward the great hall!

Just as he walked into the great hall, he saw seven strange men sitting there, and Liu Qingshan was talking to a cultivator who looked over seventy years old!

Seeing Zhang Nuo enter, everyone stood up one after another.

"Pavilion Master! This is the head of the Duanmu Family! Fellow Daoist Duanmu Yebai!"

Zhang Nuo only glanced at the old man and discovered that his cultivation had actually reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage. It seemed that this Xianhuan Continent was indeed a treasure land; in just a few hundred years, so many cultivators had advanced to the late stage!

"Fellow Daoist Duanmu! I was tied up with some mundane matters and arrived a step late, please forgive me!"

"Why must Pavilion Master Zhang be so polite!"

This Duanmu Yebai spoke politely enough, but the murderous intent in his eyes was exposed; it was clear he was forcibly restraining himself! Seeing this, Zhang Nuo's heart stirred slightly. Could it be that news leaked when he captured Duanmu Xiaofeng? Otherwise, why would the old man be like this toward him?

Sitting in the main seat without changing his expression, Zhang Nuo smiled faintly:

"I wonder what important matter brings Fellow Daoist Duanmu here this time?"

Duanmu Yebai lowered his head slightly, then bowed to Zhang Nuo and said:

"I have a nephew named Duanmu Xiaofeng. I do not know how he offended Pavilion Master Zhang, to the point that you personally took action to capture him! Could you please give me some face and let my nephew go? As long as Pavilion Master Zhang makes a request, I will certainly satisfy it!"

Watching him speak so firmly, it was as if he had evidence in his hands! Liu Qingshan and Zhang Nuo quickly exchanged a glance, then both revealed a look of confusion!

"Fellow Daoist Duanmu! Where does this talk come from! Our Pavilion Master has not left the Giant Spirit Pavilion at all during this period! How could he be related to your nephew's disappearance?"

Liu Qingshan was an old hand! As soon as he opened his mouth, he helped Zhang Nuo deflect the accusation!

"Hehe! Pavilion Master Zhang! Why speak in riddles when we are both straightforward people? If our Duanmu Family did not have evidence, would we come to the Giant Spirit Pavilion to demand a person!"

Duanmu Yebai sneered, red bloodshot veins bursting in his eyes, but hindered by Zhang Nuo's reputation, he did not dare to act out!

"Zhang has truly never left the Giant Spirit Pavilion! Your so-called evidence is useless against me, isn't it!"

Slowly standing up, Zhang Nuo walked in front of Duanmu Yebai, his eyes filled with an expression of sincerity!

"Hmph! It seems Pavilion Master Zhang will not shed tears until he sees his coffin! Xiao San, Xiao Liu, come out and identify him; was it this Pavilion Master Zhang who followed Xiaofeng that day!"

Duanmu Yebai let out a cold snort, and at the same time, two men dressed in gray robes stepped out from behind him; they looked to be only in their thirties, and their cultivation was around the Golden Core Stage!

As soon as these two walked out, they stared straight at Zhang Nuo, and only after a while did they say to Duanmu Yebai:

"Family Head! There can be no mistake; that day it was he who followed behind Young Master Xiaofeng, and he followed for a long time. In the end, when they left the Yulong Workshop, because their escape light was too fast, we couldn't keep up! We found many Magic Treasures at the place where Young Master Xiaofeng met with his mishap! Every single one had traces of having been destroyed!"

The cultivator from the Duanmu Family named Xiao Liu said, looking at Zhang Nuo!

"Did you hear that! Pavilion Master Zhang! These two disciples of mine were specifically assigned to protect Xiaofeng, but unlike others, they did not stay by their master's side, but followed behind!"

Zhang Nuo was greatly shocked in his heart; he had not expected this Duanmu Family to be so peculiar, actually having such a method! However, since he had gritted his teeth and refused to admit it before, he absolutely could not waver now!

"Fellow Daoist Duanmu, Zhang is a bit confused here! The great road leads to the sky, and each walks on their own side! Could it be that Duanmu Xiaofeng can walk that road, but I, Zhang, cannot? Furthermore, those two did not see with their own eyes that I laid a hand on Duanmu Xiaofeng! On what grounds do you say it was me?"

Putting on an angry appearance, Zhang Nuo flicked his robe sleeve! A hint of killing intent appeared on his face!
