Chapter 366: Art of Demon Transformation, Cleaning Up Guzu

Zen Master Master Fa Xin also heard the words of the people in the hall outside the door. He did not reveal any expression of indignation. For three hundred years, the heavy suffering of the human race had long ago worn away his arrogance.

He just smiled apologetically at Qian Chen and said in a low voice: "You fellow Daoists, please wait a moment. The poor monk will first report to the True Persons, and then invite you fellow Daoists in."

Qian Chen thought about it in his heart and knew that Master Fa Xin did not want to let the previous situation happen again, letting Qian Chen and the others suffer humiliation with him. But there were many strange things about this matter. Master Fa Xin was a high monk of the *Sharira* realm after all, and although he rarely revealed his cultivation, he shouldn't be treated so lightly by these people.

If the human race fought internally like this, it should have been unable to maintain itself long ago!

Qian Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked Master Fa Xin in a low voice: "Zen Master, who have you offended?"

Master Fa Xin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "It may not be that I have offended anyone, it's just that I'm in the way of some people's business! The poor monk came down the mountain this time, the talisman plate was easy to get, and now that I think about it, it was simply begging the poor monk to go out!"

Qian Chen asked with a smile: "Then what was the Zen Master doing before going down the mountain?"

Master Fa Xin pondered for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "Most things, although not pleasing to people, did not hinder anything. There was only one thing, which was the countless wolf demon flesh and blood collected from outside the mountain. The poor monk wanted to ask the Demon-Monitoring Institute to distribute those wolf demon flesh and blood to the people in the country, to eat demons when there was no spiritual grain, to alleviate the famine."

"But when implementing it, I found that most of the wolf demon corpses in the Demon-Monitoring Institute had disappeared..."

Si Princess Qingcheng said in surprise: "Did they covet the materials on the demons? Strange, most demon bodies are just fishy and smelly, and have no value. And at this time, as long as they transfer the Zen Master away and do the aftermath well, this matter... it doesn't need to be so ruthless!"

Qian Chen used the Qi-observing technique to observe the Qi luck of the people in the hall, pondered slightly, and said to Master Fa Xin: "Zen Master, just go, but if those people force you to admit your mistake, then you must not. You must not compromise for the sake of the so-called big picture!"

Master Fa Xin was silent for a moment and said: "Thank you for your advice, Fellow Daoist!"

After Master Fa Xin was led into the hall, someone opened the seal, avoiding the sound in the hall. Qian Chen and the others only saw the few Golden Core cultivators in the hall acting high and mighty, asking Master Fa Xin a few questions.

Master Fa Xin could answer calmly at first, but then began to argue.

Yan Shu said dissatisfiedly: "Those people are only of the middle stream of Golden Core, and judging from the true essence floating outside, there are not many who have formed a supreme pill. In the overseas, I don't know how many such characters I have beheaded, so who are they putting on this act for!"

"That monk is also of Golden Core cultivation, and his realm is not inferior to them, why is he so tied up."

Qian Chen only said: "Yan Yan Shixiong, look, how many monks are there in the hall?"

Yan Shu looked and then fell silent.

Although he had some good feelings for Master Fa Xin, the distinction between Dao and Buddha was deeply rooted in his heart, and he was still happy to see that there were not many monks in the hall. But it did not prevent him from being unable to look at those side-door and left-path people.

Qian Chen said: "There are four major sects in the Qiongming Realm, and the Diamond Temple was destroyed the earliest. It seems that it has already declined. That's why Zen Master Master Fa Xin is so weak."

"Those monks practice escape Zen. When the great tribulation comes, they naturally respond to the tribulation and reincarnate early, abandoning a lifetime of cultivation to escape!"

Yan Shu sneered.

"Knowing to take away the souls of the believers to reincarnate, that is a good monk!" Qian Chen defended the Buddhist cultivators.

Master Fa Xin could not argue in the hall for a few words and was taken away. Soon someone opened the hall door and invited Qian Chen and the others in. The long-browed cultivator sitting on the left, with a clear and bone-like appearance, had a good selling point, and at this time he was not as aggressive as when he was speaking in the hall just now.

The gorgeously dressed Golden Core cultivator with his own junior standing behind him first opened his mouth: "I am Baili Qi, this is the Sect Master of the Feiyun Sect, True Person Huyun..."

He introduced the long-browed cultivator to Qian Chen and smiled: "Fellow Daoists, please sit!"

This style of being one way to your face and another behind your back made Yan Shu a little uncomfortable.

Qian Chen didn't know what they were doing, so he pulled the two junior sisters and Yan Yan Shixiong Yan to sit down. You San, Hu Wu Liu, and others were not qualified to enter the hall and could only wait in the courtyard.

They had just sat down when they heard Baili Qi put a high hat on them: "Qian Shidi Master Fa Xin is extremely rash. He listened to a few rumors and hurriedly went down the mountain. Who would have thought that he would fall into the ambush of the demon people. If it weren't for the righteous actions of you few, I'm afraid the people of the Desolate Market would have been slaughtered by that ghost messenger."

Huyun also smiled: "This Pipa Ghost Messenger is one of the Five Great Ghost Messengers under the White Bone Demon King, always fierce. You few True Persons can slay this demon ghost, your cultivation is clearly extraordinary. This is the time of the human race's peril, you few coming to assist, we naturally keep it in mind..."

"Since you few want to seek an audience with the Spirit King, we will send someone to escort you."

"It's just that the Iron Pass affairs are complicated, and we failed to entertain you True Persons, please forgive us!"

Their words were polite, but the intention to keep Qian Chen and the others out of the matter was undisguised. Qian Chen and Yan Shu looked at each other, and their hearts were as clear as a mirror. It seemed that the young Daoist appearing at the pass, and the series of strange things that followed, were not without cause.

It was the trouble caused by Master Fa Xin!

These people clearly had already suppressed Master Fa Xin. Judging from the words and phrases before entering the hall, Master Fa Xin should not want Qian Chen and the others to suffer grievances, so he did not listen to Qian Chen's suggestion and chose to admit their framing.

The two achieved their goal and naturally did not want to cause more trouble, so they changed their faces.

Master Fa Xin realized that it was the trouble he caused that implicated Qian Chen, so he made a cut with them. But what kind of temper did Yan Shu have, and what kind of pride did Qian Chen have?

Their lawless temperaments, if they were unhappy in their hearts, what would it matter if they slaughtered this Hundred Sect Alliance and then went to fight the Kong Que King?

Yan Shu immediately sneered: "I don't know what rash and careless actions Zen Master Master Fa Xin had! I only know that the Zen Master risked danger to lure the Red-Clothed Ghost Messenger and severely damaged this demon ghost. Later, the Pipa Ghost Messenger attacked, and we also joined forces with Fellow Daoist Master Fa Xin to slay this demon!"

Yan Shu understood in his heart. Seeing that these two still didn't know about the other three ghost messengers and the later White Bone Demon King's action, he understood that Master Fa Xin hadn't confessed. Although he didn't know the reason, he wisely skipped these.

Baili Qi's face revealed a trace of displeasure. Huyunzi took a sip of spiritual tea on the side to moisten his throat and said: "Master Fa Xin acted arbitrarily, violating the requirements of the alliance, which led to disaster, causing him to be trapped by demon ghosts, and also attracted the White Bone Demon King to attack. It implicated the Desolate Market and almost caused it to be slaughtered. Although the human ghost realm was temporarily broken, the merit does not offset the crime."

"You few have merit in subduing demons, but don't be deceived by him, don't make mistakes yourself!"

His expression was neither yin nor yang, and the warning was overflowing in his words.

Qian Chen also smiled: "I have never heard of Zen Master Master Fa Xin acting arbitrarily... The White Bone Demon King invaded because he wanted to blood-sacrifice the hundreds of thousands of people in the Desolate Market and perform the ritual of ghost soldiers borrowing the path. Zen Master Master Fa Xin sensed something was wrong and took action to destroy the demon's plot. We helped righteously and beheaded countless demon ghosts."

"Forgive me for not understanding, what crime is there in this?"

The old Daoist Huyun's face sank completely. He said faintly: "Oh? You few have unknown origins, and you actually manage the family affairs of our Guzu Kingdom?"

Qian Chen said calmly: "The Desolate Market matter, we are all witnesses. What we saw and heard, we all witnessed with our own eyes. I don't know how you few, far away in the Iron Pass, perceived the truth, and even swore to convict Master Fa Xin."

"We saw you reversing black and white, and had to come out to say a few words of justice. This has nothing to do with our identities and origins!"

The goat-bearded old Daoist who was playing with the Pipa Ghost head laughed: "Reasonable, reasonable! Baili Qi, you are allowed to decide with one word, but you don't allow others to distinguish?"

Baili Qi said majestically: "Huliuzi, since we have already agreed, how can outsiders question it?"

Huyunzi sneered: "This world is either human or demon. I know all the Golden Core True Persons of the human race in the world. Where did you few pop out from? Are you not puppets and spies of the demon race, coming to mess up our human race!"

"Master Fa Xin inexplicably provoked the White Bone King, presumably to collude with the Kong Que Great Bright King and give the demon race an excuse to invade me. What is your master's origin... If you can't say one or two, it must be so, and you must be taken down for careful interrogation!"

Qian Chen said faintly: "We are visitors from outside the sky, humans from another world, and are true disciples of the Daoist Louguan Dao, Shaoqing Sword Sect, and Orthodox One Mysterious Altar."

"Visitors from outside the sky!" Huyun was stern, his loud voice making the tiles in the hall ring: "Such ridiculous words, do you think we are easy to bully?"

Baili Qi said indifferently: "These words... are really hard to convince the public! The great war between humans and demons is imminent, you few have unknown origins, forgive us for not daring to entertain you. Please leave by yourselves... If you want to stay by force, we have to temporarily detain you, and wait until the truth is found out, we will naturally allow you to meet the Spirit King!"

Qian Chen asked calmly: "I don't know how you deal with Fellow Daoist Master Fa Xin?"

Baili Qi said faintly: "Master Fa Xin provoked a great enemy for the human race. Although he has minor merit, his merit does not offset his crime. He is exiled to guard the Desolate Market, ordering him to guard the Desolate Market and not retreat!"

Yan Shu sneered when he heard this.

This caught Master Fa Xin's weakness, making Master Fa Xin surrender without a fight. He might have struggled. But ordering him to guard the human race and die, this stupid monk really accepted it.

But Yan Shu couldn't stand this bird anger, and he sneered: "You guys treat demons like tigers, treat the human race in the Desolate Market like discarded shoes. When the White Bone Demon King opened the ghost gate and created a human ghost realm, you all avoided sitting in the pass, and didn't see any movement."

"Now, in order to frame good people, you start ordering him to hold his ground and not retreat! If you really want to save the people of the Desolate Market, why let Master Fa Xin guard it alone? You... and you, where are you pillars of the human race?"

Yan Shu pointed at the Golden Core True Persons guarding the Iron Pass one by one.

These people were expressionless, and didn't even show a trace of being moved. The power of the human race was in their own hands, and they didn't care about Yan Shu's sarcasm at all.

Baili Qi said faintly: "You few, are you withdrawing from the Iron Pass, or not?"

Ning Qingchen was full of disappointment with these people and transmitted his voice to Qian Chen: "Yan Yan Shixiong, these people are hopeless, let's go! Anyway, they can't help... We will go and kill the Kong Que Demon King ourselves, why bother with them?"

Huyunzi said coldly: "Why not kill them, send their heads back to the White Bone City, and appease the anger of the White Bone Demon King?"

Hearing this, Yan Shu and the others, who had turned to leave, suddenly stopped. Qian Chen, however, did not have any movement, standing at the very back, facing them directly, with a smile on his face.

Yan Shu turned his head slowly, staring at this person, word by word: "White Bone Demon King!"

"Haha... White Bone Demon King!"

"You are still thinking about being afraid of offending this demon..."

He untied the sword bag at his waist and poured it downward. One by one, heads rolled down the hall. The bucket-sized head of the Ox-Headed Ghost Messenger, the bizarre Fifth Ghost Messenger that looked like countless heads overlapping, the three big and small heads of the sacrificial Buddha that looked like dried corpses, and a plain white bone head...

"Five Great Ghost Messengers, except for the one my Qian Shidi collected and refined into a magic tool, the others are all here!" Yan Shu laughed, holding the sword box, looking at the people in the hall, word by word: "Who... is... still... missing?"

The soaring demon Qi attracted the Yin Spirit Venerable who had not yet appeared.

He had white hair and a youthful face, and was an old Daoist with a fairy-like appearance. He turned out from behind the hall, stared at the heads on the ground, and said faintly: "It really is them! In this way, the White Bone City is afraid that its roots will be cut off... hehe!"

He stared deeply at the plain-looking white bone head, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Huyunzi screamed: "You... you killed so many ghost messengers, you will definitely attract the thunderous anger of the White Bone Demon King. Even if you enjoyed a moment of pleasure, how many human people will you kill?"

At this time, he put on an appearance for the sake of the human people!

Yan Shu stepped on the white bone head and sneered: "Old thief, can't you recognize your master under Yan's feet?"

That Yin Spirit Venerable's pupils shrank, and the whole hall was shocked. Many human True Persons stood up, not daring to believe that someone had beheaded the White Bone Demon King. Baili Qi's expression changed, and Huyunzi screamed: "How is this possible?"

Yan Shu took out a wolf head and sneered: "You can't recognize the true body of the White Bone Demon King, but this head, you should always recognize it!"

The Yin Spirit Venerable saw the snow-white wolf head, his right hand trembled involuntarily, staring at the head, word by word: "Wise... Wolf... King!"

More than a dozen Golden Core True Persons in the hall, at this moment, I don't know how many people lost their composure. Baili Qi's eyes were dull for a moment, and Huyunzi's mouth was half-open, muttering: "Impossible... how could it be that you killed the Wise Zhi Zhi Lang Wang?"

You San and the others in the hall, finding that Qian Chen and the others had turned against a group of human Golden Core True Persons, hurriedly broke into the hall. Seeing the heads rolling on the ground, especially the head of the Wise Zhi Zhi Lang Wang, they knelt down and reported: "True Persons, this demon has received its head, it was I who led the way myself. What these few True Persons said is not half false..."

Qian Chen stood with his hands behind his back, facing the crowd, and said: "You hurried to drive Master Fa Xin away, to cover up the demon blood on your bodies!"

As soon as this was said, several people in the hall changed their expressions greatly.

"The Art of Demon Transformation, refining the demon race's bloodline, changing one's own bloodline with transformation Dharma spells. Master Fa Xin discovered that the wolf demon flesh and blood purchased by Guzu had disappeared, and it should have been taken by you to refine demon blood, used to practice the Art of Demon Transformation."

"This art... was it taught to you secretly by him!" Qian Chen pointed at Baili Qi.

Without waiting for him to argue, he smiled: "Don't think that someone betrayed you. It's just that among a group of half-demons with mixed true essence and demon Qi, there appeared one with stable and pure demon Qi who could transform into a demon."

"Many things are known without asking!"

"The great war between humans and demons is imminent. You think that this time you will not escape the tribulation, so you all secretly practice the Art of Demon Transformation, thinking that if the human race is destroyed, you will mix into the demon race and survive. It just so happens that I beheaded the Wise Zhi Zhi Lang Wang, and eight or nine out of ten wolf races in the world have all followed him to their deaths. You collected the bodies of wolf demons, refined the bloodline of the *Xiao-Yue* Heavenly Wolf, and wanted to transform from human to demon... it's a good decision."

A fierce light flashed in Huyunzi's eyes, and he said coldly: "Nonsense, you are framing and slandering like this, what evidence do you have?"

A ray of light burst from Qian Chen's sleeve, the sword light was like electricity, stabbing out in an instant. By the time the last word fell from Huyunzi's mouth, the sword Qi had already pierced into his head, piercing through his brain from his brow.

A Golden Core True Person was instantly beheaded by Qian Chen, making the remaining Golden Core True Persons all feel fear. Some used Dharma spells to protect their bodies, and some wanted to join forces to resist.

Qian Chen said coldly: "You don't dare to offend the White Bone Demon King, the Wise Wolf Demon King, the Kong Que Demon King... why do you dare to offend me?"

"Evidence? Only talk about evidence with people!"

"With demons... only slaughter them all!"

Saying that, Qian Chen raised his head slightly, his eyes full of killing intent.

Yan Shu didn't need his reminder. When Qian Chen drew his sword, he patted the sword box. A brilliant sword light shot out from the sword box, just shaking in the air, then divided into two, then divided into four, then divided into eight, manifesting countless sword Qi, wandering in the hall.

Everyone in the hall was shocked, and no one doubted whether these few people could kill the two great demon kings.

Because no one knew whether they could kill the demon kings, but killing them was easy.

Someone got up to dodge, someone set up a magic tool to resist... Baili Qi's body revealed a trace of blood light, actually showing his half-human, half-demon original form, wanting to get up and escape.

It was just that Yan Shu's sword Qi had already blocked this hall.

The sword Qi bundled, turning into a sword light and slashing out, actually beheading him at the waist before he could rush out of the hall with blood escape.

In the narrow room, the sword light zigzagged, bypassing various furnishings, without damaging the layout of the hall in the slightest, but the speed was not inferior to the sword Qi thunder sound that Yan Shu had once used.

Yan Shu's sword technique made that Yin Spirit Venerable solemn.

The moment Qian Chen took action, Si Princess Qingcheng and Ning Qingchen also took action. The eight Golden Core cultivators in the hall who practiced the Art of Demon Transformation were all beheaded in a single breath under the joint efforts of the four, amidst the clash of sword light and magic tools.

Qian Chen stepped on the fishy demon blood of these people, and a glance made the remaining Golden Core True Persons tremble and feel cold all over. Although he saw that there were a few others who were also aware, and even that Yin Spirit Venerable was faintly aware.

But Qian Chen thought about it in his heart, judging by traces rather than heart. These people had not yet taken action to change their blood, which stopped his killing intent.

He let his right hand light up a water mirror round light, and shone it on the faces of the remaining Golden Core True Persons. The dazzling mirror light shook the eyes of the remaining Golden Core True Persons. This act could be called extremely rude, but the remaining people seemed to have forgotten this, and each one was extremely cooperative.

Qian Chen shone carefully, ensuring that they didn't have a trace of demon Qi.

Finally, the Demon-Illuminating Mirror shone on the young cultivator who was huddled behind Baili Qi and was trembling in the pool of blood. A shadow appeared in the mirror. Qian Chen flicked a sword Qi and split him to death.

Si Princess Qingcheng couldn't help but say: "Yan Yan Shixiong, this seems to be the demon Qi remaining from refining the demon pill!"

"Oh?" Qian Chen turned back and asked the crowd: "Did I kill the wrong person?"

A group of Golden Core True Persons shook their heads like fans, swearing to heaven and earth, this person deserved to die. Relying on his elders being demon spies, he did all kinds of evil in the Guzu Kingdom, eating three children a day, and loved eating human hearts the most. Colluding with demons, the crime was unforgivable, heaven would strike and thunder would strike, and he deserved to die. Now that the demon Qi was shallow, it was definitely his good disguise.

Even if the body was still human, the heart was eight or nine out of ten, a black heart of a demon. ===== CHAPTER 367 =====
