Chapter 106

From the beginning when that Evil-Resentment Yin-Victory Demon broke free from the Dragon-Tiger chain, to her conversation with Cave Master Huaiwu, and the abrupt appearance of Sima Lingzhen's "Purple-Plain Eight-Directions Palace," which smashed the locking world technique set up by the two together.

And finally, regardless of Cave Master Huaiwu or that Evil-Resentment Yin-Victory Demon, they were all removed like cutting melons and vegetables...

At this point.

The talisman power of the Ten-Thousand-Mile Illumination Talisman was finally completely exhausted, the sound and images in everyone's minds stopped abruptly, and then there was no sound.

"Very good, the demon has been removed, it can be considered as repaying the kindness of the Ai family for allowing me to read the Qi Cultivation Art! Next, it's time to return to the mountain gate to refine the three treasures and prepare to form the core..."

Wei Lingjiang sighed in her heart.

Her eyelids lowered silently, and her fair and slender fingers slowly lowered from her sleeves.

After the Ten-Thousand-Mile Illumination Talisman was issued, whether it would attract people to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, and whether the person who came could capture and kill Cave Master Huaiwu and the Evil-Resentment Yin-Victory Demon...

In her heart, she actually didn't have full certainty.

Although the Yuchen Sect's thirty-year Dao pulse examination is coming soon, and not far from Daojun Fu Yu Lake, there is clearly a Dao pulse mountain gate of the Yuchen Sect.

Logically speaking.

It should be safe...

But under this heaven, where is there any saying of being foolproof?

Just afraid of an emergency, unexpected events will suddenly arise.

Although with the protection of the Golden Light Divine Talisman, even the attack of a Primordial Spirit True Person, Chen Hang could resist for a while without any damage, Wei Lingjiang was not worried about his safety.

But in her heart, she actually made the worst plan.

That is, the demon eliminator's divine power was insufficient, allowing Cave Master Huaiwu or the Evil-Resentment Yin-Victory Demon to luckily escape and survive.

In the divination batch text given by the Daoist Lord Tai Wen Miao Cheng, it was clearly stated that the demon must be captured and killed to repay the kindness and obtain the predestined fate to survive the three disasters.

Now that she finally saw the demon captured and killed by Sima Lingzhen of the Yuchen Sect, and everything was settled, Wei Lingjiang finally felt relieved.

"But this person who came, is it actually Sima Lingzhen of the Tangting Sima family?

When I was staying at the Shangyu Ai family, I met this person once. Arrogant, conceited, wild, and unrestrained, I didn't expect that after so many years, he still has this temperament..."

Wei Lingjiang shook her head lightly.

She only heard that Sima Lingzhen entered the lower courtyard of the Yuchen Sect to cultivate through his family background, and didn't know if he became one of the top ten disciples or accumulated enough Dao merits.

Later, he worshipped into the Yuchen Sect's upper sect as he wished, listening to lectures under a Return to Emptiness Master.

But now that she hasn't seen him for a long time, he has actually taken a step ahead of her, formed a Jin Dan, and became a True Person in the orthodox Immortal Dao.

Although his magic power is strong, it is not that strong, only a fourth-grade core, at most a third-grade core, and his foundation is just ordinary.

The Primordial Spirit Dao fruit still has a glimmer of possibility, but the Return to Emptiness realm requires fighting for one's life, and it must have great fortune and great opportunity to barely achieve it.

But no matter what, Sima Lingzhen has already achieved the Jin Dan, which is far ahead of her Cave-Mystic Third Layer...

"Even if I force myself to open the mercury and form the core now, I can only achieve a second-grade core... The thirteen great medicines for forming the core have clearly been prepared for me by the elders of the sect, and even the most difficult-to-condense Divine Talisman Fire has reached the ultimate realm of Great Completion, but it is still vaguely short of a line..."

Wei Lingjiang thought of this, felt somewhat headache and helpless, and her eyebrows frowned slightly.

When she turned her eyes, she saw Qingzhi squinting her eyes into a thin slit, looking at herself sideways, the right corner of her mouth raised high, looking very playful.

"Going crazy again?"

Wei Lingjiang was used to it.

"Didn't you see? Didn't you see?!"

"What?"

"That female Heavenly Demon lifted his chin! Hahaha! Hahahaha!"

Seeing that Wei Lingjiang was finally willing to pay attention to her, Qingzhi put her hands on her hips and couldn't help but start laughing wildly:

"Even you haven't touched Chen Hang, haven't lifted his chin, that Evil-Resentment Yin-Victory Demon actually did it! Miss! Woo—"

Wei Lingjiang raised her hand quickly, pinching the flesh on both cheeks until they bulged, blocking her mouth.

"Qingzhi talks too much nonsense."

Wei Lingjiang was expressionless, and stretched out another hand to rub that small fat face hard:

"Wrong or not? Do you know you're wrong?"

"Mm... wro... wrong..."

The whole face was rubbed round and flat like dough. After struggling and resisting to no avail, Qingzhi was tearful, and bubbles spat out from her mouth with slurred words.

"Very good."

Wei Lingjiang nodded.

"... Wrong? Hehehehe! Qingzhi wrong?! Qingzhi is always right!"

As soon as Wei Lingjiang let go, Qingzhi, who was begging for mercy just now, changed her face, crawling and running to the corner of the room.

Seeing that she was far from Wei Lingjiang, she dared to put her hands on her hips proudly, looking up to the sky and laughing wildly:

"Qingzhi says everything is right! Qingzhi will never be wrong!"

Wei Lingjiang's lips curled slightly, and she beckoned, and Qingzhi, who was laughing wildly, changed her face in horror, drifting toward Wei Lingjiang uncontrollably.

Staring wide-eyed in mid-air, she clawed and scratched fiercely.

"Full of rebellious bones, feeling uncomfortable if you don't get beaten for a day?"

After another while, amidst Qingzhi's wailing and begging for mercy, Wei Lingjiang finally let go of her face and smiled:

"When you first came to me, were you afraid that you would be beaten to death by someone because of this mouth, so you wanted to find someone to collect your corpse early?"

Qingzhi covered her cheeks and ran away from Wei Lingjiang unhappily.

Standing at the door, just as she wanted to return to her old ways, she saw Wei Lingjiang squinting her eyes with a smile, as if hiding some malice.

Her body shivered, and she hurriedly cleared her throat, smiling flatteringly:

"My Miss has the posture of a Great Emperor! A woman three thousand years older, ranked in the immortal class! Everyone will cultivate to become an immortal together in the future!"

"Incoherent, going crazy again?"

Wei Lingjiang shook her head somewhat amusedly, and didn't pay attention to her anymore.

"However, Miss..."

Qingzhi hesitated at the door for a long time, but still scratched her head in confusion, and asked tentatively:

"Are you really going to give up your Dao power and the outer mansion left by True Person Yan Xi to exchange for an entry certificate, and bring Chen Hang back to the mountain gate?"

"Why? Is it not enough?"

Wei Lingjiang heard this and restrained her smile, her expression indifferent:

"I have already accumulated sixty-four great Dao merits, even the "True Explanation of the Supreme Void and Supreme Virtue Daoist Eating Divine Qi" in the sect can be exchanged for a viewing, not to mention the mansion left by True Person Yan Xi... Even if it is not easy to enter the sect, it should be more than enough to exchange for a lower courtyard quota."

"But if you give up those two mansions, what about the Danyuan Assembly?"

"The Danyuan Assembly is a Dharma assembly where all the heaven's pride of the eight sects and six schools of the entire Xudu Heaven compete and kill each other. For that kind of venue, wanting to decide the winner, how can one or two mansions of predecessors interfere with the conclusion?"

Wei Lingjiang shook her head: "Even if there is some involvement, it doesn't matter, you don't need to think too much."

"Fine, even if what you said is true, I'll take it as true."

Qingzhi sighed like an old person, walked to Wei Lingjiang, and looked into her eyes:

"But have you thought about whether he is willing?"

"What?"

"Chen Hang is probably not necessarily willing to follow you, Miss, back to the Chiming Sect. Although the meaning of your words is to save him into the Xuanmen and teach him the long-life immortal talisman, this kid was kidnapped before, and was a face-man..."

Qingzhi spread her hands and said:

"In the past few days of getting along, Miss, you should also know that Chen Hang's temperament, to put it nicely, is already impenetrable... I think he is probably not necessarily willing to return to the mountain with you, and not necessarily willing to owe Miss's kindness."

Wei Lingjiang was silent for a moment when she heard this.

For a long time.

Only then did she lower her eyes indifferently:

"You don't understand him."

Qingzhi scratched her head blankly.

"Although what you said is not wrong, he doesn't like to owe others kindness, especially... especially owe my kindness..."

Wei Lingjiang paused for a few breaths, then continued to speak plainly:

"But Chen Hang may not necessarily refuse the proposal to go to the Chiming Sect... He wants long life, and has always been using long life to brush it off, but in this Xudu Heaven, wanting to pick the immortal industry into the body and prove the long life he spoke of, only, and only in the eight sects and six schools can it be done!"

"What if he is just stubborn and refuses to go to the Chiming Sect?"

Qingzhi was relentless.

Wei Lingjiang glanced at Qingzhi, held her palm like a knife, cut it into the void, and smiled inexplicably:

"He won't be stubborn. After he comes back, after I say it! It won't be up to him to choose!"

Qingzhi felt a chill in her neck for no reason, and hurriedly shrank her head back, silently slandering in her heart:

"Knock him out and take him away? It seems that the plan I, Lord Qingzhi, offered was used after all! But Miss, you are just a Qi Cultivation spiritual body now, you may not be able to beat Chen Hang..."

Although she thought so in her heart, Qingzhi still asked one more question:

"Even if all this is proper, the old witch Zhu Jing doesn't seem to allow Miss to do this, right?"

Wei Lingjiang glared at Qingzhi.

"Old witch Zhu... never mind! It's the old witch Zhu!"

Qingzhi hardened her heart and stared:

"The old witch Zhu has never had a Dao companion in her life! You are the disciple of the old witch, I think she also can't see you finding a Dao companion!

Even if you bring Chen Hang back to the mountain gate, the old witch won't let him stay comfortably in the Chiming Sect!"

This time.

Wei Lingjiang was truly silent.

However, before she could speak.

Outside the door.

Suddenly, an unusually calm and cold voice came:

"Love between men and women is human nature. Even the Daoist Lord Tai Wen Miao Cheng was once addicted to this path in his early years and couldn't extricate himself, let alone you and me, ordinary people?

My heart is not yet so narrow that I have to stare at a small Qi Cultivator and not let go, and go pick his thorns."

Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Wei Lingjiang in front of her for a long time, as if wondering why the voice and tone were suddenly completely different.

For a long time.

Only then did she react that someone was speaking outside the door.

Instantly scared out of her wits, three steps became two, if Wei Lingjiang hadn't reached out to pull her, she would have almost jumped out the window to escape.

"Zhu... Great True Person Zhu Jing..."

Qingzhi was crying without tears.

"Master?! Why are you here?"

Wei Lingjiang was both surprised and happy.

As she hurriedly opened the door, she saw that in the corridor, a middle-aged Daoist nun with phoenix eyebrows and cold eyes like electricity was standing.

She held a three-treasure jade ruyi in her hand, the handle of which was inlaid with the shapes of three dragons and two tigers carved from tourmaline, water sand, yellow lacquer, and star essence, brilliant and dazzling.

Seeing Wei Lingjiang welcoming her with joy, True Person Zhu Jing smiled slightly, nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Lingjiang."

"Disciple pays respects to Master."

Wei Lingjiang let go of Qingzhi, bowed to the ground, but before she could kneel down, she was gently lifted by a force of magic power, not letting her body touch the dust.

"And Wang Ruyi boy, it's been a long time."

After Wei Lingjiang was lifted up, she also greeted the three-treasure jade ruyi held by True Person Zhu Jing.

The three-treasure jade ruyi's light flashed, and a tender and crisp laughter came from inside, also greeting Wei Lingjiang.

"Lingjiang's borrowing force to hit force this time is not bad. Now that the Evil-Resentment Yin-Victory Demon has been removed, your Uncle Long-Eyebrow has also sent a boy to the Ai family to explain, the favor is cleared. In the future, even if the Ai family has a disaster, it will not implicate your cultivation."

True Person Zhu Jing nodded and said:

"From now on, you can rest assured to refine the three treasures in the cave heaven, waiting to form the core! There will be no more worries about external affairs!"

"This success is all thanks to Master's great fortune."

Wei Lingjiang invited True Person Zhu Jing into the room, served tea herself, and smiled:

"However, the predestined fate to survive the three disasters that the Daoist Lord spoke of, forgive the disciple for being dull, but I haven't seen any trace of it yet?"

True Person Zhu Jing's action of lifting the cup paused slightly, and then the expression in her eyes was quite helpless.

Three disasters predestined fate—

This was calculated by the Two-Instrument Life Plate, whether it is practical or not, in the end, it cannot be verified.

Let alone her, even if the Daoist Lord came in person, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get another statement.

"The Great Dao is fifty, the heaven evolves forty-nine, people escape one... but how can the escaped one be so easy to intercept? With the Daoist Lord's status, he may not be able to calculate it without any error."

True Person Zhu Jing shook her head indifferently:

"Now that human affairs are exhausted, let's listen to the destiny! The three disasters predestined fate mentioned in the divination, thinking more is useless, it's better to put it down for now."

After finishing, she looked at Qingzhi, signaling her to leave for a while.

Qingzhi, who had been sweating coldly for a long time on the side, was like being granted amnesty, and rushed out like a fluffy fat rabbit.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to close the door heavily.

"Master?"

"Moved? Chen Hang?"

"I..."

Wei Lingjiang was flustered for a moment, just about to speak, but was interrupted by True Person Zhu Jing.

"Chen Chen Shidi Long-Eyebrow has already pulled Senior Sister Shang to our side. With her willing to come forward to lobby, within the five palaces and three views, many elders will lean toward you, regarding you as the candidate for Daoist."

True Person Zhu Jing said plainly:

"Senior Sister Shang's appetite is not small. For her sake, Chen Chen Shidi Long-Eyebrow and several of your senior uncles and aunts have bled heavily. Don't forget this kindness when you ascend to the position in the future."

"Is it actually that True Person Shang who managed the Zhuoguang Palace in the past years?!"

Wei Lingjiang's expression was happy, and then she said solemnly: "Master, the kindness of the senior uncles and aunts, the disciple will definitely keep it in mind, and swear never to forget!"

"The support of those elders is only a small path in competing for the Daoist. What is more rare is that Senior Sister Shang and True Person Zhou, who currently manages the Chisong Palace, are close friends.

True Person Zhou, this dignified Palace Master, once owed the previous Sect Master a great favor!"

True Person Zhu Jing's expression remained unchanged:

"If she is also willing to take action to help you, all kinds of people like Sima Fang and Xie Tan will fall behind you...

However, the True Person cultivates the Supreme Heartless Dao..."

True Person Zhu Jing looked forward:

"Disciple, do you understand what Master means?"

Wei Lingjiang's face suddenly stiffened.

"Master—"

After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice.

"In order for you to compete for the position of Daoist, the elders of the sect have been running around everywhere, owing many favors, and consuming countless family wealth. At this time, you cannot retreat! And how can you retreat!"

"Furthermore..."

True Person Zhu Jing looked at the small face in front of her that was in a trance, and sighed deeply in her heart:

"I recently got a message, a message that I'm afraid is not very good for you."

"Master, please speak."

Wei Lingjiang's fingertips were squeezed somewhat white by herself, but she was stunned, and just subconsciously replied.

"The head of the Wei family, Wei Shao, he has returned from the Xu Huang Heaven and reached a deal with the Red Essence Tao Rong Wan Fu God King."

True Person Zhu Jing looked away, as if she couldn't bear to look at the complex emotions on that palm-sized small face:

"Wei Shao, he has now obtained the Wind-Fire Meditation Cushion..."

With a "rumble", a muffled thunder rolled across the sky!

Wei Lingjiang suddenly raised her head, her face instantly deathly pale!

The sky is clear for ten thousand miles, the wind is warm and the clothes are light.

Chen Hang slowly withdrew his gaze from that deep, gorgeous, and magnificent Purple-Plain Eight-Directions Palace, his expression thoughtful.
