Chapter 357

Mount Qingchi Sect.

Clouds and mist gathered on Mount Qingchi Peak. In the cave dwelling on the mountain, green energy curled. In the center sat a large dark golden bell with complex patterns, which would only be rung when a True Person fell or a Sect Master ascended to the throne.

Chi Chi Zhiyun landed on the peak in a hurry, followed by a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Just as he landed, a tall young man greeted him, cupping his hands:

"Sect Master Senior Brother!"

"Ning Hejing."

Chi Chi Zhiyun waved his hand anxiously without stopping, taking two steps into the stone cave, and asked:

"How is it!"

"The firelight is weak, turning bright white. The lamp oil is rising, and the nine patterns are dimming and brightening. There has never been such a situation."

Ning Ning Hejing's voice was low. Chi Chi Zhiyun's expression became increasingly ugly as he listened, and he said in a gloomy voice:

"Bright white... how is that possible!"

He waved for those around him to leave and took two steps into the depths of the cave. The several soul lamps at the head sat on wooden carved seats shaped like lotus flowers, burning quietly.

The carved seats were made of 【Soul-Listening Mulberry Wood】, which could foresee fortune and misfortune and was immune to the five elements, fearing only thunder. The lamp oil used 【Nine-Refined Essence Souls】, which was once a heavy treasure but is not very precious in the current world.

Chi Chi Zhiyun looked closely, and the flame of True Person Bu Zi's lamp was indeed a full circle smaller, and it had changed from pale gray to bright white. The patterns on the lamp base intertwined with light and shadow.

Only Chi Chi Zhiyun and Ning Ning Hejing were in the cave, both with ugly expressions. Ning Ning Hejing said in a deep voice:

"I have already inquired. The True Person left the sect earlier without leaving any message."

Chi Chi Buzi was Chi Chi Zhiyun's great-grandfather, and Chi Chi Zhiyun's lineage was the maternal family of Ning Ning Hejing's lineage. The two grew up together, and their interests were tightly bound; it would not be an exaggeration to call them biological brothers.

As soon as Chi Chi Zhiyun took the position of Sect Master, Ning Ning Hejing immediately became the Peak Master of Yuanxing Peak, wielding great power within the sect. Now that Chi Chi Buzi had a problem, his expression was naturally ugly.

"Do True Persons Tang Yuanwu and Li Yuanxiu know about this?!"

Chi Chi Zhiyun blurted out. Ning Ning Hejing shook his head and replied:

"Rest assured, Clan Brother. Your younger brother sealed this news immediately. The two disciples in charge are our own people and will never leak the news. Currently, only True Person Yuansu knows about this."

"Good."

Chi Chi Zhiyun praised and whispered his speculation:

"Now that the demon cultivators are running rampant everywhere, without the 'Old Man on the Creek,' I fear they cannot be hooked. Xiao Xiao Chuting is trapped in the East Sea; the True Person must have gone to find him."

Chi Chi Zhiyun placed his hand on the edge of the table and tapped it quite irritably, saying in a deep voice:

"Could it be Zhang Zhang Tianyuan? What is his Golden Feather Sect going crazy for! Is he not afraid of ruining things!"

"That may not be so!"

A clear and bright voice echoed in the cave. The expressions of Chi Chi Zhiyun and the other relaxed, and they respectfully stepped aside:

"Welcome, True Person."

True Person Yuansu was also dressed in green, but his Daoist robe was looser, and he wore a small white seal at his waist. His face was slightly round, and he said softly:

"Zhang Qishui of the Golden Feather Sect has already cultivated the life divine ability 'Dipping Lead Flower,' which can also hook this group of demon cultivators... it is just not as handy as the Old Man on the Creek and Ru Ru Zhongzhuo."

"The True Monarch's affairs are important and will certainly not all be entrusted to the three of us."

Chi Chi Zhiyun and the other bowed their heads respectfully. True Person Yuansu said again:

"It is just that without five or six Purple Mansions, it is impossible to keep Bu Zi. Zhang Zhang Tianyuan cannot produce such a formation; at most, he can only make Bu Zi suffer a loss."

True Person Yuansu had no worried expression at all and said with a smile:

"Bu Zi is really just like my senior brother was when he was alive. Now that he has broken through to the mid-stage of the Early Zifu, he has been arrogant and conceited for decades, yet he is also greedy by nature... Although his brain is good at calculating, it is rare to let him suffer a loss; it does not matter!"

How could Chi Chi Zhiyun and Ning Ning Hejing dare to interrupt? They could only pretend not to hear his words, shrinking like quails, and only after a long while did they say:

"True Person, why not calculate..."

Only because True Person Yuansu had the gentlest temperament did Chi Chi Zhiyun and the other dare to ask. They saw True Person Yuansu curl his lips and reply:

"He is cautious by nature and never leaves traces in the Great Void. His cultivation is high, and I am a Guo Shentong Early Zifu, not a Fate Maha; what do I have to calculate with?"

He shook his head and made a joke:

"If he dies and his divine abilities dissipate, I can calculate it."

Chi Chi Zhiyun and Ning Ning Hejing looked at each other, obviously not finding it funny. Yuansu shrugged, reached out to hook the air in front of him, and stepped into the Great Void, his voice still lingering:

"He was most likely schemed against while rescuing Xiao Xiao Chuting in the East Sea. I will go to the East Sea."

Lu Lu Jiangxian's spiritual sense was even more terrifying than he had imagined. With one breath, he crashed into the sea of consciousness, and Chi Chi Buzi's soul was knocked into a daze. Chi Chi Buzi came from an immortal sect and had high knowledge; how could he not see that he had provoked a high-level cultivator?

Immediately, his spiritual sense moved, as if he had activated some secret technique, condensing into a ball, and he shouted:

"I am a disciple under the True Monarch of the Lushui Wuyuan Talisman Language. I do not know which senior is before me. If there is any offense, please forgive me!"

Chi Chi Buzi was a shrewd person of several hundred years and was not startled by Lu Lu Jiangxian's imposing momentum. He just looked up and down carefully and saw that he was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. If it were not for his extremely high essence, Chi Chi Buzi would truly not have been afraid at all.

He said politely and secretly pondered:

'This old thing looks like an ancient cultivator who has fallen to the extreme... If I can kill him, the harvest would definitely allow my family to leap like a dragon.'

Lu Lu Jiangxian said nothing, his spiritual sense destroying everything in its path. Although Chi Chi Buzi's spiritual sense was not as good as his, it was large in quantity, and he dealt with him stubbornly, continuing to shout:

"I do not know which golden nature the senior cultivates?"

No matter how Chi Chi Buzi asked, Lu Lu Jiangxian remained silent, relentlessly attacking. Chi Chi Buzi had not expected Lu Lu Jiangxian's spiritual sense to be so indestructible, and he was defeated repeatedly.

A full incense stick of time passed, and Chi Chi Buzi became slightly anxious.

"Senior, please be careful... I have my name recorded with the True Monarch. As long as something happens to me, it will be a major event that will alarm the True Monarch!"

Lu Lu Jiangxian ignored him, continued to attack fiercely for a while, and grabbed him in his hand, only then relaxing slightly:

'If it were in the world within the mirror, killing him would be a matter of a single thought. In his Shengyang Mansion, it actually took so long to struggle...'

Looking at the still-struggling Chi Chi Buzi, Lu Lu Jiangxian slowly made up his mind. He followed the backlash of the 【Fangyin Mount Jiuqiu Heart-Questioning Technique】 and was about to read Chi Chi Buzi's memories.

This thought had just arisen when Lu Lu Jiangxian felt uneasy again. A clear pool appeared hazily before his eyes, and he was shocked:

"Right, there is also Lushui!"

This was Chi Chi Buzi's sea of consciousness, not his own world within the mirror. If he looked through Chi Chi Buzi's memories, he would definitely alarm that True Monarch of the Mount Qingchi Sect...

'Cannot kill him...'

He pondered:

'Since I cannot erase his memory, then I will plant a witchcraft technique in his spiritual sense!'

Lu Lu Jiangxian waved his hand, condensed thick moonlight, set up a witchcraft technique to monitor the backlash, and took out a string of talisman energy with a pained heart.

'I will tie you to my pirate ship! To save you from going to Lushui to complain!'

After setting up a series of follow-up measures to ensure that if it erupted, it would make this guy's soul fly away and scatter, Lu Lu Jiangxian had a flash of inspiration, drove his spiritual sense, and took out an object.

This object was a part dug out from the soul of Jinlian Maha, which had been refined by Lu Lu Jiangxian's moonlight countless times, becoming white and blank.

A bold idea arose in Lu Lu Jiangxian's mind, and he even became a little excited, pondering:

'Why not... replace the peach with a plum... and create one of my own people...'

After thinking carefully, Lu Lu Jiangxian shook his head. Chi Chi Buzi was, after all, a person of Lushui. If he could not match up after returning to the sect, problems would inevitably arise, and his family would suffer.

'Then I will settle for the second best and create a Daoist friend for him!'

So he took the light sphere, stuffed it with a series of fabricated memories, combined it with memories from his previous life, and added some Immortal Court, some various upper immortals, and checked it carefully.

He then modified the witchcraft technique in Chi Chi Buzi's Shengyang Mansion in the same way, handed it into the soul transformed from Jinlian Maha, looked at it, and was very satisfied.

"In this way, it is seamless."

On Mount Lijing Mountain.

The blood and tears on Chi Chi Buzi's body would always make crisp collision sounds and rustling friction sounds, but now they stopped suddenly. The void was extremely quiet, and one could hear a pin drop.

"Hmm..."

True Person Bu Zi pushed the door and walked out, swaying forward one step, with a strange smirk on his face, supporting the door frame with one hand, and stepping out with his back foot.

'Bu Zi.'

The green-robed True Person in front stepped forward, his eyes closed, but the blood and tears had stopped. Bu Zi let out a long breath and turned his head toward the Li family members quite stiffly.

Li Li Yuanjiao only felt his legs go numb, his hair standing on end, and a chill rose from his back.

At this moment, Bu Zi had the center of his eyebrows as a dividing line. Half of his face was clean and clear, with distinct angles, while the other half was twisted and shifted, covered with fine, dense white fluff. The muscles on his face twitched slightly, and his ears were thin and long, drooping down.

His eyelids moved and opened slowly, but there was nothing inside. There were only two pitch-black holes on his face. The empty eye sockets were covered with dense blue veins, and the reddish-purple eyelids opened with difficulty.

"Greetings... Greetings, True Person!"

Li Li Yuanjiao's hoarse voice echoed in the courtyard. Bu Zi stared at him blankly for several breaths before speaking:

"What True Person! I am an Liu Xianguan of the Dangjiang Creek Water Prefecture under the Immortal Monarch... What kind of world is this? Where is the Immortal Court? Which water prefecture is the nearest?..."

"It was hard to wait for a Early Zifu body, why is it still a damn demon cultivator! Can this demon cultivator now run rampant in the current world?"

The Li family looked at him blankly. Chi Chi Buzi looked carefully and said impatiently:

"Have you all received the register? Which sect's disciples are you?"

Li Li Yuanjiao's mind was still trying to understand the words of True Person Bu Zi. When Bu Zi said this, he suddenly took a step back and whispered:

"No, I must go find a water prefecture and take back my immortal position!"

After speaking, he shouted:

"You little yellow crowns, quickly open this broken formation, lest Immortal Grandpa breaks it with one palm and makes you all cry out everywhere!"

Li Li Yuanjiao looked at his appearance, and his heart felt a sudden shock:

'Chi Chi Buzi... perhaps he has been possessed by some golden nature! This golden nature monster keeps talking about the water prefecture; I don't know what kind of monster from how many years ago it is... No wonder... no wonder Chi Chi Buzi is so miserable,'

'But why doesn't this monster travel through the Great Void...'

Since Chi Chi Buzi was possessed, Li Li Yuanjiao wished this disaster star would get lost as soon as possible, so he quickly opened the great formation, revealing the pitch-black night sky.

"Good! You little yellow crown are quite sensible!"

This golden nature monster was overjoyed and drove the wind away like a meteor, leaving behind a loud laugh:

"Come to my Dangjiang Creek Water Prefecture in the future, and I will definitely record a merit for you all!"

Chi Chi Buzi drove the wind away from the Li family and flew south for a while. Lu Lu Jiangxian's residual power gradually wore off, and his expression became increasingly strange. He suddenly stopped and shouted in a deep voice:

"Where did this golden nature evil monster come from!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was furious and slapped his own face again, with amazing momentum, cursing:

"Bold! Daoist Grandpa is an Liu Xianguan of the Dangjiang Creek Water Prefecture, what evil monster!"

Chi Chi Buzi was already terrified, raised his hand to cover his Shengyang Mansion, but his hand stopped in mid-air, neither up nor down, as if struggling with some invisible force.

"I am a disciple under the True Monarch of Lushui. You evil monster... stop! I will find you a good physical body!"

"Physical body? I want yours!"

The soul that Lu Lu Jiangxian created retained the personality of Jinlian Maha, a character who feared the world would not be in chaos. He cursed and shouted, his words very unpleasant.

But Chi Chi Buzi ignored him, his expression unchanged, only controlling his hand to fall toward the Shengyang Mansion bit by bit. After all, he was the original owner of the body and a Early Zifu cultivator, so he slowly gained the upper hand.

This Liu Xianguan of the Dangjiang Creek Water Prefecture saw that he was falling into a disadvantage and sneered. A bright witchcraft mark rose in Chi Chi Buzi's soul:

'Try moving again! At worst, I will detonate this spell and escape with the golden nature. What will you do!'

Chi Chi Buzi lowered his head in disbelief and muttered:

"How is it possible!"

'How is it impossible? What do you think I was doing when I controlled your body earlier? You can try, is it faster for you to wipe me out, or for me to detonate this formation!'

This Liu Xianguan thought he was a golden nature remnant and was smugly following the memories Lu Lu Jiangxian had fabricated. He no longer controlled Chi Chi Buzi, letting him land by the creek, chirping:

'I waited in that yellow crown's mind for decades, and finally fished you out with that Taiyin moonlight! It's just a pity that you are a demon cultivator... You say, a demon cultivator like you doesn't hide properly, wandering around and searching everywhere, are you afraid you won't die fast enough!'

'I won't pursue you for being a demon cultivator. As long as you take me to find a water prefecture and send me into the Immortal Court, I won't haggle with you... Maybe I can even report to the Immortal Court and give you a chance to survive.'

Chi Chi Buzi was so angry he laughed. His spiritual sense sank into the Shengyang Mansion, cursing at the white glowing light circle:

"What old thing! What Immortal Court! What water prefecture! Full of unheard-of things from ancient times! What kind of world is this today? Fool! Fool!"

He cursed violently twice, then suddenly froze, a greed suddenly rising in his heart.

In the light circle in front of him, several things that were like talismans but not talismans, like registers but not registers, were floating, glowing gray, and a sweet scent of fate, blood, and incense intertwined hit his face.

'This... what is this!'

Added more chapters, really added more, afraid I would write it into a mess.
