Chapter 992
Que Que Liyu was in high spirits, while Maha Nuzi Jinlian Mohe was full of anxiety:
"My lord, you must still be cautious..."
Maha Nuzi Jinlian Mohe was originally a Compassionate One under Que Que Liyu's command. In the past, relying on Que Que Liyu and the forces behind him, he not only gained powerful support, but ordinary people dared not easily provoke him. His status was far higher than that of an ordinary Compassionate One, and he enjoyed many blessings, so naturally, he did not want to lose them easily. Seeing the situation before him, he said with great worry:
"Achieving this matter is indeed crucial, but after all, this matter is difficult to speak of. It relies entirely on mutual tacit understanding, with no agreement to rely on. If that lord truly harbors the intent to kill, I fear it will be extremely difficult to deal with."
"Even if you can escape... I fear the lord's hundred-year magic body will also be damaged..."
Que Que Liyu's southward move seemed imposing, but Maha Nuzi knew in his heart that this was a matter where danger and profit coexisted, and it might also be a scheme by various parties to break off another arm of the Kong Que... For many years, the lords of the Kong Que clan had not responded, and many Peacocks had suffered repeated setbacks, long since filled with vigilance.
Even though Yang Zhuo had only just broken through to the Early Zifu, his essence was Heavenly Martial Metal, and the three sets of armor from that year had caused the North to suffer heavy losses, leaving lingering fears to this day. It was normal to feel afraid, so it was no wonder Maha Nuzi was so worried, yet Que Que Liyu only shook his head and smiled.
He took a small porcelain bowl from his sleeve, only half the size of a palm, and held it gently in his palm. The clear water inside the bowl swayed slightly, creating layers of ripples.
"This is..."
Maha Nuzi Jinlian Mohe only took one look, and the expression on his face froze instantly, blinking his eyes in disbelief.
The spiritual energy in the bowl was dazzling, as if it were about to materialize, even causing the Great Void to tremble faintly. It was actually Early Zifu spiritual water, and there were as many as six types of Early Zifu-level female water!
"Tianyi, Zanya, Guest Qing Ye, Baimou, Guixi, Muyi."
These six types of female water depended on each other and seemed to be mixed with other substances with extremely rich spiritual energy, containing intense vitality. The thick female water was almost overflowing from the small bowl, turning into rolling gray wind.
"This!"
Although Maha Nuzi Jinlian Mohe had a certain status in the North, his pockets were empty. Let alone spiritual water or spiritual fire, even the few Early Zifu spiritual objects he had were treasured as gems. He had never seen so much spiritual water, and for a moment, he was mesmerized.
But he saw the monk smile and say:
"You are wrong. It is not a question of whether or not to harbor the intent to kill. The so-called 'Righteous Nature Stops Lust' is by no means empty talk. Once you step outside the prefecture, there is only a dead end, with both body and spirit destroyed, never to be reincarnated."
Maha Nuzi was speechless for a moment, staring blankly at him, only to see the monk narrow his eyes slightly and smile:
"Precisely because of this, this matter must be done by me, the Great Desire Path, and must be done by me personally. It is the Kong Que clan that has obtained the symbol of following desire, and it is my Great Desire Path that has the 【Great Good Golden Lotus】..."
"Do you think I don't know? Most of the people in the North have ulterior motives. One by one, they urged me to go south, claiming that I could touch the status of a demon, but in reality, they hoped I would go to my death. Even the Jinlian Mohe of my Great Desire Path—there are times when they fear me!"
Maha Nuzi did not understand why he mentioned this, only feeling his scalp tingle, and then heard the monk in front of him smile:
"But I have long been looking forward to this day. They think I am personally taking the risk, but that is not the case. The 【Great Good Golden Lotus】 planted in Mount Quanwu was once blessed by the lord. My true body sits on the 【Great Good Golden Lotus】 in the Release Earth, and I only go down the mountain with the 【Small Kong Que Karma】 and the Karma Root, walking slowly, step by step, to outside the prefecture."
"This Karma Root will take the guest seat of 'Righteous Nature Stops Lust'! It will turn into that demon to be subdued and exorcised, achieving a great cause and effect not seen in a thousand years!"
Maha Nuzi was shocked upon hearing this, turned slightly to the side, and said in a lost voice:
"Karma Root? The lord wants to cut off the Kong Que Karma Root?! This... this..."
Maha Nuzi lowered his head, his face pale, and saw Que Que Liyu sitting on the top of the mountain, slowly drinking the spiritual water in the bowl. The 【Great Good Golden Lotus】 light enveloped him, emitting bursts of brilliance, and he said gloomily:
"In those years, my family's Supreme Zen returned to the Release, and thanks to the lord's enlightenment, I bid farewell to the evil path of merging fire. However, after all, he was the son of the Goose-Crow. The Goose-Crow was once the master of all fires, with magnificent divine power, and there is still a fraction of cause and effect."
"He practiced for many years, but it was difficult to make any progress, so he asked the Great Supreme Zen for advice, only to learn that there was still a Goose-Crow Karma Root in his body. If the Karma Root is not removed, he will always be trapped by the merged fire and unable to break through."
"The lord removed the Karma Root in the sea, and now that I am the number one person among the Peacocks, I should also remove it to seek the Dao."
After speaking, as he raised his head, his face aged rapidly, covered with wrinkles, like a shell. Flames erupted from his chest and abdomen, magnificent and vast, just like thousands of small snakes wandering in the air, instantly enveloping the entire mountain range, condensing in front of him, and turning into a monk upon landing.
This monk was high-spirited, with a strange smile, standing still in the air, while the Que Que Liyu behind him had his chest cavity opened, his internal organs withered and pale, and his skin and flesh turned into dust, leaving only a withered skeleton, silent and soundless.
Maha Nuzi only felt his scalp tingle, and before he could recover from his monstrous ambition, his mind was blank:
'With my Karma Root, taking the guest seat of True Qi...'
True Qi Righteous Nature Stops Lust, this is something everyone in the world knows. That lord naturally needs a demon, but once this demon enters the game, he is in opposition to the lord. Even if he is a demon, his status and fate are those of a boundless Heavenly Demon!
Such heavy cause and effect is enough to make any Release cultivator go crazy!
The Great Desire Path moved upon hearing the news, wanting to be this demon, to protect Que Que Liyu for a walk before the True Qi, to achieve his name as a demon, but this matter is definitely not without risk—even if the 【Great Good Golden Lotus】 that can collect true spirits has been planted in front of the Four Min Gate, it is hard to guarantee that the Underworld does not have 'Exiled Qi' in its hands!
'Exiled Qi' is the end of ignorance. If that lord possesses the 'Exiled Qi' treasure, a light shine can take his life!
Even if successful, falling into the Heavenly Martial Demon-Subduing guest seat, becoming a demon to be subdued and exorcised, and successfully escaping, is indeed an excellent status and fate... But it is also an extremely dangerous situation. Who knows when the lord will be one step away from success, and whether this demon will be pushed out to fill someone else's Dao cause?
'You must know that the whole world is pushing this matter, and several lords are already impatient. The Seven Phases seem glorious, but how much say do they have in high places? Once such a situation arises, no matter how high Que Que Liyu's fate is, he will only have to go to his death!'
What Que Que Liyu said is true. The Great Desire Path can go south calmly because it has the 【Great Good Golden Lotus】 to rely on, but would the other conceding phases sit idly by? They are all watching coldly... just waiting to push him into the abyss later!
Even the Jinlian Mohe of the Great Desire Path who supports Que Que Liyu, looking at it now, is also afraid of his high strength and the Kong Que's backing, and wishes he would die in the South.
But Que Que Liyu's plan is brilliant and extremely bold, daring to let the Heavenly Martial Metal essence remove his Karma Root and increase his status and fate!
In this way, both status and fate are obtained, and there is not much evil fruit from the great cause and effect—the demon is the Karma Root of my Que Que Liyu. If it is removed completely, the more majestic your Righteous Nature Stops Lust is, doesn't it show that my true body is even more bright?
'It is actually such a plan!'
It just so happens that things have developed to this point, the 【Great Good Golden Lotus】 has been planted on the mountain, all conditions are ready, and the whole world is promoting this matter... Maha Nuzi thought carefully, and for a moment he was a little dazed, finally understanding why Que Que Liyu's words were sarcastic when mentioning 【Lord Guangchan】.
'What he said is absolutely correct. This is a great cause and effect not seen in a thousand years. If this game is successful... not only can it be successful, but even 【Lord Guangchan】 and 【Beigu】 will find it difficult to look at his back, and it will surely pave a broad road for him to occupy a high position.
If Yuan Huzhong joins the Release Path and cultivates into a Jinlian Mohe, he can have a seat at the Great Yang Mountain Dharma Assembly, then after Que Que Liyu succeeds, in a few hundred years, he is very likely to become a venerable one sitting high on the Dharma seat and preaching!'
'Such a big event, how could there be no lord pushing it behind the scenes? If no one hinted, how could he obtain six types of female water under the eyes of the Jinlian Mohe of the Great Desire Path!'
In an instant, Maha Nuzi's heart was cold, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.
'Does that lord really have no reaction? The Kong Que Sea secret treasure was stolen, and several Peacocks died, how could it be for no reason? It must be that some lord is testing in secret...'
'The lord has never responded, just to let the Kong Que gradually enter the scheme, waiting for Que Que Liyu to enter the game in person, and achieve today's matter!'
He felt a bone-chilling coldness in his heart and lowered his head silently.
'With such a long-term plan, the lord must have received the news early... Who is it that leaked the news? And who wants to make the Seven Phases more divided? Is it in the sky or underground...'
At this time, the evil monk shook his sleeves, didn't even look at Maha Nuzi, stepped forward, walked to the foot of the mountain in two or three steps, turned into a yellow dot, and went further and further away.
He walked on the earth, seemingly taking ordinary steps, but in fact, he was shrinking the ground into an inch, moving south at an astonishing speed. Wherever he passed, the music was melodious, and where the ground was muddy or barren, lotus flowers bloomed, wild beasts knelt and bowed, and the pools were sparkling, as if it were the Release Earth in the human world.
Four Min Prefecture.
Thick gray fire rose in the sky, and noisy music played together, drifting slowly into the prefecture, but the main hall was very quiet, with only faint lamp colors flickering.
The main seat at the top was empty, but both sides were full of young talents from various families, sitting in order, either lowering their heads to taste tea or remaining silent, only hearing the sound of porcelain cups clinking.
Most of them looked calm, waiting slowly, only Li Li Jiangliang frowned, staring at the map on the table, and servants came up from time to time to deliver letters, letting him outline the route of the black Release cultivator.
'After passing Mount Quanwu... every move affects tens of thousands or even more...'
Li Li Jiangliang picked up the teacup, looking a little restless, raised his eyebrows and scanned.
He was ordered to make rituals and had not stepped into the hall for a long time. The people who could stand in this hall had changed a lot, but they were all descendants of immortal clans and Purple Mansions.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a noise, and a middle-aged man in gray clothes walked into the hall, with half-white hair and beard, a majestic face, and a gourd hanging from his waist. As soon as he stepped into the hall, several people came up to congratulate him:
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist Lingu! Congratulations!"
"The divine power is complete, it is truly shocking in all directions..."
Li Li Jiangliang knew his identity, he was Lingu Lie of the Lingu family, a person who was originally not valued and traveled everywhere, but now he had become the head of the family.
The Lingu family now had withered talents. In the past, many Foundation Establishment cultivators, as long as there was a glimmer of opportunity, would rush to Lin Hai Prefecture to retreat. Many geniuses fell. Lingu Lie was nearly a hundred years old before he broke through to Foundation Establishment, and only then was he recalled to the clan, shouldering heavy responsibilities.
Once Lingu Linggu Lanying achieved something, he became the object of everyone's pursuit. Everyone flattered him. Lingu Lie took time to look at Li Li Jiangliang and bowed from afar.
Li Li Jiangliang responded with a smile, and Lingu Lie stepped forward quickly and said with a smile:
"I have seen Lord Li!"
"Senior, you are too polite!"
Li Li Jiangliang had to put down what he was doing and answered in a gentle voice. Lingu Lie said with emotion:
"I have a deep connection with your family. The True Person in my family once fought side by side with your family and was of the same generation as True Person Can Zhaojing. I feel very close and want to visit."
Li Li Jiangliang smiled and said:
"The Release cultivators are going south, a great war is coming, and the congratulatory gifts from various families may be delayed... Since you and I are in the hall, I will congratulate you in advance!"
This person was about to reminisce, but suddenly felt awe-inspiring, and Li Li Jiangliang also put away his smile, having noticed something.
"Bang... bang bang..."
The water in the teacup on the table boiled for no reason, causing the lid to buzz, and layers of water and fire emerged, faintly with the sound of scales rubbing. Li Li Jiangliang reacted quickly, stood up in shock, and took two steps out of the hall.
He saw white cranes circling in the sky, and layers of water and fire shining like stars in the sky, summoning paths of falling immortal light. Li Li Jiangliang turned around and looked at the cultivators in the hall who were still at a loss.
"Come down and pay respects to the lord."
Everyone hurriedly came out of the hall and bowed together under the leadership of Li Li Jiangliang. The feather clothes and gorgeous clothes covered the ground, reflecting each other with the light of water and fire in the sky, which was dazzling.
"Boom!"
Blue, dark, green, and indigo water and fire intertwined with black, red, yellow, and pale colors in the air. Countless white cranes descended from the sky, dissolving the infinite karmic fire that poured down, illuminating the prefecture with brilliant light.
Li Li Jiangliang raised his head slightly, only to see a pair of black boots standing in front of him.
His heart was startled, he slowly raised his head, his gaze swept across the black robe with gorgeous patterns on the man, and finally landed on his face.
An extremely ordinary, inconspicuous face.
But it was this plain face that made people's minds blank, making it difficult to remember any features. The aura on his body was also without waves, as if he were a mortal.
Li Li Jiangliang saw that this person's clothing was similar to his wife Yang Yang Tianyou's, lowered his head slightly, and found that the people around him were not surprised by his appearance, as if they didn't notice, so he stood up and said:
"I have seen the senior."
The man in front nodded slightly and smiled:
"You are the son of Mingyang."
Li Li Jiangliang bowed and said:
"My father is True Person Minghuang."
The man nodded with satisfaction and said softly:
"Please tell the lake... just say... Yang Yang Ruiyi of the Four Min Yang clan invites the True Person on the lake to come to Four Min to discuss major events."
Li Li Jiangliang hesitated slightly, but saw the Yang clan man smile and look at him deeply, adding:
"True Person Guanxuan Yang Yang Tianya is also in Four Min. He has been waiting for your family for a long time and is about to reminisce about the past with the descendants of old friends."
