Chapter 448: The Dagger is Revealed, The Absolute Sound of Guangling, Hundred-Step Flying Sword

The Faceless Divine Demon swam out of the stone door and escaped toward the depths of the tunnel.

Just at this moment, a human skin suddenly fell outside the stone door, rolled onto the Faceless Divine Demon, and covered it. Many iron-cyan secret demon talisman scripts were pricked on the human skin. At this moment, these demon scripts all activated together, emitting rays of light, restraining the Faceless Divine Demon within the human skin and turning it into a naked human figure.

"Which junior brother is joking with me, catching the divine demon I used to explore the path?"

Ji Zhen's expression didn't change. He opened the stone door and saw a young man in gorgeous clothes, twenty-five or twenty-six years old, standing outside the door. His face was covered with lead-white powder, and his eyes looking at Ji Zhen were vicious.

"So it's Qian Shidi Shi! The Faceless Divine Demon is the most secretive, I don't know when Qian Shidi Qi learned the method of making this demon? It seems that you have made progress in your Daoist career... But I released the divine demon to handle affairs for Xie Xie Zushi Fu. Qian Shidi, you are obstructing me like this, could it be that you want to abandon your cultivation of the 'Moon Demon Painting Skin Scripture' and add a material to the Xie Xie Zushi's Great Asura Scripture Scroll?"

Ji Zhen said unhurriedly.

"Hmph!" The young man in gorgeous clothes revealed a cold smile: "Handling affairs for the Xie Xie Zushi, I think your own actions are very mysterious!"

"This Faceless Divine Demon, could it be that you want to contact someone?"

He had a fierce malice in his eyes and laughed: "Xie Xie Zushi Fu is right beside us, I don't know what will happen if I show this Faceless Divine Demon to the Xie Xie Zushi?"

Ji Zhen was secretly anxious. Communicating thoughts with the Faceless Divine Demon was hidden, but encountering an old demon lord like Fu Hei, he was afraid that the things inside couldn't be hidden from him.

"Qian Shidi Qi is really clever, do you really think that your progress in the demonic scripture is enough to compete with me?" Ji Zhen was very calm, seemingly not caring about the divine demon in the human skin at all.

But he heard the young man in gorgeous clothes sneer: "Ji Zhen, you and I have not been on good terms for a long time, and we have framed each other several times in the sect... Do you know why?"

"Besides blocking my position when you were promoted to true transmission, it's because your daily style is really suspicious. Most of the true transmissions of the same batch are trash, only you can be considered an opponent of mine!"

"You say you don't like the method of blood sacrifice and cultivate the way of using demons to control demons."

"Although using demons to control demons is also a great path of the demon gate, among us disciples, who doesn't seek that shortcut method?"

The white-faced young man said gloomily: "Even if you don't covet the convenience of those methods, the sect's assessment is strict. Falling behind one step means being bullied by fellow disciples, bullied a hundred times over. We fight each other like gu insects, and we are already exhausted, where is the energy to maintain a shred of kindness in our hearts? Yet you are the only one who is like this. Good ability, after so many years in the sect, you can still not dirty your hands among everyone!"

"The shortcuts of the demonic path are indeed fast, but the aftermath is infinite..."

Ji Zhen said calmly: "Most of those who cultivate are not becoming nourishment for others? Even in the demonic path, those who covet shortcuts, seek quick success, and cultivate by borrowing various cruel methods are all reserve materials for the seniors."

"Xie Xie Zushi Fu's 'Great Asura Scripture Scroll' uses the human skins of hundreds of Moon Demon lineage disciples as material, engraved with the 'Great Asura Secret Magic Talisman,' possessing infinite demonic power; Xie Xie Zushi Tan's cultivation of the Taotie Demon Body is even more so, eating up all the seeds of the army-flesh demonic path in one meal... Just because these people's cultivation comes fast!"

"The foundation-building method of the demonic path is called 'planting demons.' Among the twelve thousand foundation-building methods of my Yu Yu Jiuyou Dao, there is no lack of methods like Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Souls, Blood Pool Training, etc. If you survive one day, you can change your roots and bones, change your temperament, and the demon-planting will be successful. The seeds of the True Transmission Dao of the same demon gate have to kill their fathers and mothers, kill all their relatives and friends upon entry, and after passing a hurdle to cut off the dust, they can build their foundation in an instant..."

"But such characters, their cultivation comes conveniently, so the sect doesn't cherish them. Anyway, the population captured and offered by the various departments is tens of thousands in one trial. Even if the trial is cruel, those who become talents are not one in a hundred, and there are hundreds who succeed in foundation-building. In this way, they kill each other, rely on refining methods for the true transmission senior brothers, and struggle to accumulate, and there are dozens who cultivate to the Penetrating the Law realm."

"On one mountain, there are dozens of seeds of Penetrating the Law every year. If the ancestors take a nap, hundreds of high-quality materials will grow up. Of course, it's not a pity to use them..."

"On the contrary, those who cultivate the way of using demons to control demons, not doing those side-door methods, although the early stage is a hundred times more difficult, as long as they grow up, the ancestors will cherish them a little because they are one in a thousand!"

"Haha!" The white-faced young man clapped his hands, the *pa-pa* applause echoing in the stone cave, listening to his sarcasm: "Ji Zhen, you really deserve to be a true demon seed. The ability to hide your head and tail before foundation-building and survive is something I also have to say is amazing! Those who entered the sect with you all felt that foundation-building was important, preferring to break into those nine-death-one-life trials, to suffer the torture of those perverted true transmissions, just to change their constitution a little earlier and start cultivating the demonic path."

"Because cultivating one day earlier means having the power of life and death over others who haven't built their foundation one day earlier."

"Only you... are incomparably smart, hiding hard, surviving for ten years, only then subduing the true demon seed planted in your body by the sect, and once foundation-building is successful, you are not bound by any constraints." The white-faced young man looked up and laughed, his face hideous.

"Then you kept a low profile and hid your foundation-building achievements for twenty years. Only then did you cultivate the Nether River magic power, get the favor of Xie Xie Zushi Master Jiu Ming, accept you as an inner disciple, and become a true demon seed!"

"Amazing! You are really amazing. You deserve to be a true demon seed. Even when you are suspected by the ancestors, you are still valued! Your heart is firm, your ambitions are high, you don't need to look down on us fake demon seeds and fake true transmissions who seek quick success! Xie Xie Zushi Master Jiu Ming didn't praise you... The only true seed of the Yu Yu Jiuyou Dao in a hundred years! We are all fake seeds..."

"Do you know how I entered the sect!"

The white-faced young man said through gritted teeth, grinning: "My Shi Mo clan had three hundred and seventy-two people who offered sacrifices to the Holy Sect, all of them were my flesh and blood brothers, tribal playmates! In the blood pool trial, I swallowed the essence and blood of my elder sister who treated me the best, only then did I succeed in foundation-building, and used her aptitude to make up for my congenital deficiency of being sick and weak in childhood."

"And then... I pitted and killed the other brothers and sisters step by step, added the oil-adding witchcraft of the tribe, plus the 'Moon Demon Painting Skin Scripture' I cultivated, put on eighty-one human skins of the Shi Mo family, and slaughtered the same batch of clansmen, only then did I cultivate 'Thousand Faces and Ten Thousand Images, Painting Skin Without Heart,' and became a Yu Yu Jiuyou true transmission!"

"Why... why are we both demon seeds, yet you don't have to suffer this kind of test and torture?"

"Before I entered the sect, I also thought about brotherly love, and I also had clan feelings. In the blood pool, I was the weakest, I couldn't kill anyone, and I didn't even dare to kill my clansmen who were strong and full of blood, so I could only deceive the person who trusted me the most... I knew I couldn't deceive others under normal circumstances, so I used the sharp stones in the blood pool to grind through my own body, created a terrible-looking wound, and threw away all my weapons. Then I went to beg my elder sister, knelt and begged her, begging her to say I didn't want to die, and deceived her into bandaging me..."

"Then I used my ground-sharp teeth to bite her throat... like a wolf, like the wolf-insects I hate the most... tearing..."

The white-faced young man opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of teeth ground sharp, revealing a wolf-like look, and sneered: "What is clever wisdom? Have you ever deceived the person who trusted you the most?"

Ji Zhen looked at him silently. His story had long been known to everyone. The story of him using all his coldness and cunning to slaughter his blood relatives and clansmen one by one had long been known to everyone. The mutual calculations between him and several brothers had also once been a good show in the sect.

Therefore, in the Yu Yu Jiuyou Dao, he is called 'Wolf Young Master'!

"Why..." Wolf Young Master revealed eyes emitting green light: "Why, can you not have to make this kind of choice?"

Ji Zhen was silent for a long time before saying: "You should know that I have no father or mother, and I was originally an orphan?"

"I know, I also know that you are the remnant of the Mermaid Rebellion in Donghai County in the past, an orphan of humans and mermaids, and I also know that your parents killed each other, performing a human tragedy in front of you... Haha! Do you know how much I envy you?" Wolf Young Master sneered: "It is also because of this that I suspected you. Xie Xie Zushi Fu and the others should have all been deceived by you, thinking that you are a good person who pretends to have a shred of kindness on the surface, but in fact, you have secretly cultivated the 'Nether River Dragon Transformation Scripture' that refines the luck of close people into nourishment! When you were promoted to true transmission, you refined those disciples who trusted you..."

"But only I know, you are pretending!"

He looked up and laughed, his mouth splitting to his ears, revealing two neat rows of sharp teeth on his cheeks: "You didn't kill them at all, you just hid them!"

Ji Zhen showed anger for the first time. He raised his head and said gloomily: "Junior sister and the others died unfortunately because of a mistake in the trial, what does it have to do with me?"

"Hahahaha..." Wolf Young Master laughed neurotically: "You shouldn't have thought that! Among the few low-life seeds following you, there is one who has the bloodline of my Shi Mo family."

"Of course, she herself should not know either. There are many children in the tribes on the grassland who don't know who their fathers are! But I refined eighty-one human skins of the Shi Mo family, and I am no stranger to this aura! Originally, I just wanted to use her to calculate against you, but I didn't expect you to take action first."

"I originally thought I misjudged you, that you were a ruthless hypocrite, but I didn't expect... by chance, I noticed her aura. The people you claimed were dead are actually still alive."

"Although I don't know what means you used to hide them! But I have seen through your temperament..."

Wolf Young Master looked up and said: "You are actually a weak person rarely seen in the demon gate, a woman's benevolence! In this way, how are you worthy of living? So the Xie Xie Zushi might be deceived by you, thinking that you won't care about the hatred of the Mermaid Disaster caused by Sima Yan in the past... But I believe you care! You want to kill Sima Yan! You will definitely take revenge!"

His eyes were crazy and proud.

Ji Zhen thought for a moment and said decisively: "If it were just a conjecture, you shouldn't have appeared in front of me so rashly... Did you do something to me?"

Wolf Young Master turned his fingers, and a small green insect flew from Ji Zhen to his fingertips. Ji Zhen's eyes shrank slightly, and he said solemnly: "No wonder you could hide from my spiritual sense, it turns out to be a Thousand-Knowledge Gu... The Xie Xie Zushi let you release that Baidu Baidu Jincan Gu King, and it accidentally accompanied a Thousand-Knowledge Gu!"

Wolf Young Master smiled slightly. That day, after opening the seal of the stone door, he saw that the Baidu Baidu Jincan Gu King was not as perfect as he imagined, and there was a trace of precaution in his heart. Later, he accidentally found this strange Gu that had hidden in the stone cave for hundreds of years relying on its concealment ability and had not been discovered by the Gu King, and he had calculations in his heart. For this reason, he killed all the Yu Yu Jiuyou disciples who followed him and fed them to the Gu King. Although these people should not have known about the strange Gu, as long as there was a shred of possibility of being seen through, he would not let them go.

Afterward, he put this Gu King with extremely strong concealment ability on Ji Zhen.

"You act very cautiously. Although I found your expression wrong several times, I still couldn't catch your tail until today, when you released this Faceless Divine Demon, I knew... my opportunity has come!" Wolf Young Master said coldly: "You should know what will happen to you if this Faceless Divine Demon falls into the hands of the Xie Xie Zushi. Even if your cultivation is a line higher than mine, but the Xie Xie Zushi is right beside us, you have absolutely no possibility of taking me down without alarming the Xie Xie Zushi!"

"Ji Zhen, take this Thousand-Knowledge Gu, accept my prohibition! Be driven by me!"

Wolf Young Master said coldly: "Otherwise, if you fall into the hands of the Xie Xie Zushi, you won't even have a chance to die!"

Ji Zhen was already calm in his heart. In the demonic path, there are too many means of torture and prohibition. Being controlled by others, life being worse than death is a small matter. As far as Ji Zhen knows, Wolf Young Master has at least a hundred ways to steal his cultivation and Daoist practice, squeeze his soul and essence blood completely, and turn them into means for his own cultivation. These methods are the foundation of the demonic path!

"Shi Mo Sanlang!" Ji Zhen raised his head slightly and said: "You shouldn't have come within a hundred steps of me!"

In Wolf Young Master's heart, a point of spirituality flashed crazily. His thoughts moved, and his body turned into a blood shadow. Looking closely, it was a human skin wrapped in blood light. In an instant, he was about to fly a hundred zhang away.

Ji Zhen stabbed out a point of sword light, a sword like fireworks in full bloom, already reaching the extreme of a certain sword technique.

This sword had already obtained the shadow of a certain great divine power. Within a hundred steps, it was almost invincible. In the rhythm of the sword light, there was a trace of inexplicable traces.

This trace of rhythm resonated with the zither sound filling the entire abyss demon cave. Far away in the Noisy Demon Realm in the upper layer of the abyss, Qian Chen, who was playing the zither alone against the stone wall, suddenly had his zither strings break at this moment, and the 'My Obsession Blade' in the zither belly rang out high, as if encountering an opponent. Qian Chen's fingertip was cut by a wound. He held the Great Saint Thunder Sound Zither, looked down at the scar on his index finger, and saw a sharp sword intent at the wound cut by the broken zither string.

Qian Chen looked up in horror, staring at the source of this rhythm, and said in a low voice: "Nie Zheng assassinated Han Kui, the white rainbow pierces the sun!"

"Guangling Stop!" Wolf Young Master's eyes widened: "You are Ji..."

He had only turned his thoughts halfway when he felt his consciousness slowly disintegrating.

With a trace of relief, his soul instantly vanished in the sword light.

This point of sword light crossed the distance of a hundred steps at an unimaginable speed, piercing his brow. All aura was slashed by this sword light, as if nothing had happened here. Even the group of old demon lords several hundred zhang away didn't notice anything wrong.

This sword is close to the Dao, close to a certain supreme mystery of the sword Dao.

This is the peerless sword technique of the sword cultivator Nie Zheng, who assassinated the Korean Prime Minister Han Kui in the past—Bai Hong Pierces the Sun!

This sword was not passed down completely, but a trace of sword intent remained in the ancient song "Nie Zheng Assassinating Han Kui Song," which Ji Kang obtained by chance when the Dragon Girl taught him this ancient song.

Later, at the moment of the absolute sound, he evolved this trace of remaining sword intent into the great divine power "Guangling Stop"!

No one in the world can escape within a hundred steps of this sword with similar cultivation!

If Sima Yan had also been within a hundred steps of Ji Kang when he was playing the zither in the past, he would not have had the chance to corpse-dissect as a Yang Spirit at all!

Ji Zhen looked at the human skin that drifted to his feet, which was already riddled with holes, as if it had experienced infinite years.

He sighed slightly and whispered: "Shi Mo junior brother, the reason you hate me should be that I am too much like you. A truly ruthless person cannot see through my disguise, just like those old demon lords. Although I don't know what happened in the blood pool that day, I don't think it would be as you said..."

"Just as you saw through my disguise, I also once saw the infinite hatred in your heart!"

"If not, how could there be such a bone-deep demonic nature?"

"Guangling Stop! Guangling Stop! One day, I will use this sword to slash out the sword that my grandfather failed to complete in the past..." ===== CHAPTER 449 =====
