Chapter 138 There is only one true self in the world! Soldiers sweep Wutong Mansion, and the hidden dangers of Nirvana Corpse are revealed!
Qinjian Mountain!
On this mountain covered with sunflowers, there are many important cities built with Chinese parasol trees, and the remnants of the defeated soldiers gather together.

The mottled demon blood has not yet been completely washed away from this mountain.

But it brought another kind of 'vitality'.

the fourth step!
In Wutong Prefecture, apart from Yunluanshan, the first fourth-step master appeared.

This is simply unimaginable for a sect that was originally just a "famous" level sect.

What is even more unimaginable is that not long ago, Tan Tai Yao even defeated the 'Xuan Qing Demon King' Gu Hua head-on!
As soon as the news spread.

Suddenly everyone was excited!

Regardless of whether it was the remnants of the defeated army who escaped from the city.

There were also large cities such as 'Xuanqing City' and 'Heishan City' that were built around Wutong. Almost all of them were attacked and destroyed by demons and suffered greatly.

In the past, the gap in combat power was too great, and there was not even a glimmer of hope. The soldiers and demon-hunting patrols who were driven out of the city could only switch positions and hide in the mountains.

But now, with the emergence of 'Dan Tai Yao', the situation is no longer the same. At least there is a glimmer of hope to fight hard.

And when the remaining manpower of four or five heavy cities gathered in this once "famous family".

Then another piece of news spread.

Let this originally 'give it a try' glimmer of hope.
In a flash, it spread like wildfire, blazing and out of control!
That is----

There are several authentic martial arts sects in the Three Mountains and Five Peaks. The ancestor of "Yuan Dan" from decades ago suddenly appeared and came to keep an appointment!

It’s about enough, nearly enough to be counted with two palms!
You know, with the six Yuandan under the command of the Demon Lord Xuanqing, he can lead six demon armies to attack cities and strongholds and sweep across the city.

Now with so many Yuandan, plus a fourth-step master, as well as the gathered warriors and demon-hunting patrols from various cities, how can we not be able to resist it?
As for the "Black Mountain Incident" several decades ago, it was unknown to outsiders because it was ordered to be erased by the state lord Lan Jingyi. Even Tan Tai Yao knew very little about it.

He was originally excited and happy until the summer came.

Qinjian Pavilion.

"Are you saying that these people are those who 'came back from the dead, but whose souls are destroyed'?" Tan Tai Yao frowned, and his heart trembled as he looked at Ji Xia who had rushed over from Black Mountain City.

indeed.

At this juncture,
Whether it is the master of the Sword Ridge Cliff, the demon hunter of Shunan Prefecture, or other Yuandan masters.

Without exception, they are all people who were active decades ago, but then disappeared in Montenegro and have never been heard of since.

They came to the meeting with disciples from their own sects.

When Tan Tai Yao was investigating his origins, he used his magical powers to spy on him, and indeed detected some clues in his 'divine thoughts'.

After Jixia's talk,
He gradually began to take it seriously.

"good."

"Uncle Tantai, let me tell you something."

Ji Xia also looked serious, tapping the table lightly.

The situation has evolved to this point. Some things can no longer be concealed. It is necessary to find some help and support for yourself.

So, he revealed a little bit of the tip of the iceberg in front of Tan Tai Yao.

Suddenly, Tan Tai Yao frowned:
"The Immortal Nirvana Master, his Nirvana followers, the three True Immortals were buried in the 'Mysterious Coffin' and transformed into the so-called 'Nirvana Corpse'?"

"That is to say."

"Now, those orthodox Yuandan masters outside who were revived decades ago are just puppets of the person in the restricted area?"

"However, their memories and mental state are still the same as when they were alive, except that their attitude towards you has become extremely 'reverent'."

After learning a little about the Black Mountain Incident, Tan Tai Yao's eyes suddenly showed worry:

"If that's the case, isn't there another 'Song Chai Xin' under the abyss, waiting to be revived?"

Ji Xia nodded:
"I think so too."

"But uncle, you don't doubt that I am fake. If there is a Song Chai Xin who looks exactly like the one before, will he be the real one?"

Tan Tai Yao had a gentle expression:
“Some people wear outer clothes, but their inner core has already changed.”

“Some people may change in appearance, but their inner self remains the same.”

"If I had never met you in Montenegro, then I might have been skeptical."

"But now, even if there are a hundred guys wearing the cloak of 'Song Chai Xin', let alone one, I still won't believe it."

"As you said, these people are all nirvana corpses who have lost their 'spirituality' but have retained their 'memories' and 'inertia'. So, what is their purpose?"

"Or"

"That person should be higher than the fourth step, perhaps he is a True Lord who survived the 'Dongtian Era'. What is he going to do?"

"It's not like they would lock someone in a coffin for no reason and then release him decades later just for fun."

At the end of the speech, Tan Tai Yao himself laughed, then shook his head, somewhat puzzled.

"He must have his own purpose, but we are limited by our vision, so we can't see it."

"but"

"I have read some records in some damaged ancient books."

"In this era, three hundred years ago, there were seekers who could fly into the sky and escape into the ground, seeking immortality and the way of the Tao. They were at a level above the fourth step. Their sect was known as 'Dongtian'."

"The caves were connected to the real world, which was equivalent to the division between the 'spiritual land' and the 'mortal world'. Later, for some unknown reason, they all closed and fell."

"And just a hundred years ago, the first cave heaven appeared in the northwest, and it began to gradually recover."

"I heard that outside of Dazhao, there are caves in places like Jiangnan Dajin and even the prosperous places of the East. But it is the caves in the northwest."

"A hundred years ago, the entrance was suppressed by the 'Great Demon Hunting Lord', and not a single one has appeared."

"If this 'Heavenly Abyss' is something similar to a cave, we should find the top officials of the Dazhao government to deal with it, but..."

Ji Xia looked hesitant and didn't finish his words.

Because in Aquarius Province right now, Da Zhao and the demons are fighting fiercely. Even if there are powerful people coming from other provinces, they will be at the front line instead of wasting manpower to come to Tianyuan to deal with it.

"Don't worry either."

"If the sky collapses, there are tall people to hold it up; if an enemy comes, there are soldiers to stop him; if a flood comes, there is earth to cover it."

"Let's take a step back and say, even if there really is a 'Song Chai Xin' who walks out alive, what can we do about it?"

"It is no different from you living a new life now, and you have gotten rid of the troubles in the past. You can rise to the third or fourth step again without attracting others to covet you."

Tan Tai Yao stood up, patted Ji Xia's shoulder, and spoke to comfort her.

Ji Xia nodded in response. He thought so, but if the 'Immortal Nirvana Lord' really used his own body to create another self, he would always be unhappy.

And
Visualize inner illumination within the mind.

Looking at the first page of the 'Book of Samsara', it is engraved with 'Memories of the Half-Demon Mansion Master'.

In the summer, I have a feeling that if there is such a day, maybe
You can get rid of yourself.

This was the 'backup plan' he had left behind.

While the two were talking.

Suddenly, three 'real-life' visions descended from the sky!
'Nine-curved Coiled Dragon Spear', 'Black Iron Heavy Sword', 'Lightning Strike Wood'.
When he sensed the sudden arrival of a 'real person level' magical power fluctuation that was not inferior to his own, and even surpassed it by a lot, Tan Tai Yao was greatly shocked:

"Where did this expert come from?"

Ji Xia, who was beside him, narrowed his eyes, sensing three familiar 'visions', and suddenly stood up and whispered:
"Uncle, this is the one I told you about, from Montenegro."

Before he finished speaking, Tan Tai Yao suddenly realized:

"The former general of Baoping, the former master of Xuanbing Cave, and the former ancestor of the Gu family?"

At this time, there was a commotion in the mountains.

Just when the disciples of Qinjian Mountain and the coalition forces of Wutong Mansion saw someone stepping into the air and were feeling uneasy.

The Yuandan 'Nirvana Corpse' who walked out of Tianyuan took the lead in shouting, pulling up the true energy, and making the origins of the three people public!

For a moment, all the coalition forces present who were unaware of the "secret" held their breath!
Three real people!

Including the one from Qinjian Mountain who had just broken through, there are as many as four of them!
This, this requires them to fight for their lives!
Unless the Xuanqing Demon King in Wutong Mansion has three heads and six arms,

If not,
Can he still withstand the attack of four real people? ?

After hearing the noise and listening to Ji Xia's explanation, Tan Tai Yao stepped out of the door and looked up!

really,

Then they saw the Dragon Slaying Marquis holding the illusory Panlong Spear, the Black Weapon Cave Master holding the heavy black iron sword, and the ancestor of the Gu family controlling a piece of lightning-struck wood, all setting foot on this 'unknown' Qinjian Mountain!
"Are you the Taoist master Tan Tai?" The Dragon Slaying Marquis' cloak fluttered in the wind, his brows were solemn and majestic.

"Are you the former General Aquarius from sixty years ago?" Tan Tai Yao asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, standing in the mountains, looking up at the sky.

At the same time, he looked at the two "Taoism and Aristocratic Family"-level ancestors beside him one by one, his eyes flickering, as if thinking about something.

indeed,

On these people.
He really couldn't sense the existence of "God"! The three treasures of human body, "essence, energy and spirit", among which essence and energy represent the physical body and true energy and magic power, are the basis of practice.

But 'God' is the divine thought, the divine soul, and the root of cultivation!
Just like "Can a man live without a heart?", how can a man live without God?
This is a paradox!
But these three, including those Yuandan masters, do not possess the "divine" power!
In Tan Tai Yao's eyes, it was simply unbelievable.

"Yes, the three of us were trapped in the Black Mountain for sixty years. We finally revived and broke out. Just then we heard about the Aquarius Heaven Change. How dare the evildoers cause chaos in the country!"

"The situation in Aquarius Province is extremely precarious now. It is time for me to come out again and eliminate the disaster!"

"When will the troops head straight for Wutong Mansion?"

"Once the situation in Wutong Prefecture has been quelled, we will immediately rush to Baoping Prefecture to restore order!"

These words were spoken in a dignified manner, fully displaying the demeanor of a state's demon-hunting general and a military marquis.

If he hadn't known the 'cause and effect', Tan Tai Yao would have really thought that the person in front of him was the demon-hunting general who was once intact.

Can.
After Ji Xia’s explanation.

Now look at it again,

Only then can we find out that these three real people are not the heroes who once dominated the state! ?
It's nothing more than a 'puppet' with intelligence in its flesh and blood!

It's so frightening to see!
"If you three can help me, it will be ready at any time." Although he knew it in his heart, he could not show it on the surface.

So, Tan Tai Yao said without showing any emotion.

"In this case, time is precious. A mere 'Fourth Step' branch of the Jinghe Dragon Court, who is neither the Lord of the Dragon Court nor an elder, can be driven away in a snap of a finger!"

"kill!"

in an instant,
The Immortal suddenly issued an edict, which was approved by Tan Tai Yao.

All over the mountain, there was a roar as if from thunder!
The flags are fluttering like a rainbow, and they are heading towards Wutong Mansion immediately!
Along with the four immortals, they swept towards Wutong from all directions.

The Xuanqing Demon Lord Gu Hua, who had been sleeping soundly and thinking highly of himself, almost fell off the bed. Upon hearing the news, his eyes were about to burst out:
"Four True Immortals?"

He grabbed the collar of the demon servant in front of him and listened to him telling the news he got from the spies. He almost vomited blood.

"General Baoping Zhanlong Hou, former master of Xuanbing Cave, ancestor of the Gu family"

"Aren't these the people who were buried in the Black Mountain by my evil son decades ago?"

"Come to attack me?"

Gu Hua was originally still disdainful. Even if Tan Tai Yao reached the fourth step and defeated him once at Qin Jian Mountain, what would that matter?

He has a huge number of followers in Wutong Prefecture, who can call the wind and rain, and can always borrow reinforcements from fellow monks of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance in Shunan Prefecture. What can he use to fight him?

But in a flash, the news that spread made him drop his teeth.

Four real people.

To put it bluntly.

One hit from one person would be enough to force him to flee. If four of them attacked him together, no matter how far he flew, he would have no chance of survival!

It was just as night was falling.

Gu Hua, with disheveled hair, armed with a spear in hand, faced the wind and happened to see four real 'visions' in the four directions of the city. Just one glance at them made him lose all his courage!
Then, without any hesitation, he abandoned the city and fled without even caring about his 'son' and 'tribes'. He wanted to go north along Shunan Prefecture to Zhenyao Prefecture, escape back to the base camp, and never mention the matter of development again!
He just walked off with his front foot.

Soon after, four fourth-step immortals arrived at Wutong Mansion!
With just one glance, Tan Tai Yao saw the 'Xuan Qing Demon Lord' Gu Hua walking away, and immediately he was filled with murderous intent and bent over to move forward.

however,
The remaining three real people.
But they all stopped, stagnating in the air above Wutong Mansion, as if hesitating. Seeing this, Tan Tai Yao turned around, with doubts in his heart, and suddenly shouted:
"Three of you, that Gu Hua is a fourth-step demon king. I can't take him down alone. Why don't you join me in capturing and killing him?!"

“Although there are many demons in Wutong Mansion, the coalition forces have Yuandan like clouds, which is enough to quell them!”

"Could it be."

Before he finished speaking, the three Dragon Slayers looked at each other. The old ancestor of the Gu family, with white hair and beard, came out and said:
"Forget it, forget it. I will just go with the real person!"

After he finished speaking, he controlled the 'Thunder Struck Wood' and wielded the Thunder Spear, and together with Tan Tai Yao, they went to kill the Xuan Qing Demon Lord Gu Hua.

at the same time,

It just so happened that the 'Wutong Alliance' knocked on the door of Wutong Mansion!
For a time,

The assembled soldiers and demon-hunting patrols rushed forward and fought with the demons in the streets and alleys!

Originally, with two real people in charge, the battle should have been one-sided.
As Dragon Slayer Jiang Xiao and Xuanbing Cave Master Qin Wubai looked at each other, their eyes flickered, and as the sun set, a red glow appeared, and fangs gradually appeared at the corners of their mouths.
But he chose to look on indifferently!

Wutong, the government office.

The coalition forces gathered together and fought with the demons until blood flowed like a river, staining the entire city with the smell of blood.

but.
For some reason, the original four real people are nowhere to be seen.

Ji Xia brought Xie Qiao and several Xiantian elders from the Xie family and marched straight in, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, with two palms full of Yuan Dan and four real people, they don't even need the thousands of martial arts soldiers gathered below to defeat the remaining demons in the entire Wutong Mansion.

But why.
Will the battle still be so intense?

But, obviously, fighting is not the time to think.

The Xuanqing Demon King Gu Hua threw all the warriors who disobeyed him into the "Prison of the Palace" and took pleasure in torturing and humiliating them.

Among them, those who have "Yuan Dan" or above have either become running dogs and are probably trying to protect themselves for the time being; or they are being shared as "food".

Only those below the third step will be detained.

Among all the members of the Xie family, except for old man Xie Qiaoxuan and the current head of the family Xie Qiao, there is really no Yuandan, so they are all imprisoned in the "government prison".

Therefore, Ji Xia and Xie Qiao, two Yuandan-level fighters, brought with them several members of the Xie family's great innate clansmen, and they were unstoppable all the way, slaying demons and monsters as they saw them, and they marched straight in and fought their way to the yamen!
He smashed open the 'dark and deep' prison gate with force and marched straight in!
After seeing the imprisoned warriors and the Xie family members who had their scapula and Huangting Dantian pierced.
Ji Xia sighed.

It is so sad that a once prominent family has fallen into such a situation.

but,

Now there is him.

The future depends on your own rise!

Then the Xie family will surely remain prosperous!
Watching Xie Qiao bringing his men to release the imprisoned warriors and members of the Xie family.

Contemplating the image of the Great Demon Lord, Ji Xia let out a sigh of relief and was thinking about his cultivation status:

"As I slayed demons and monsters along the way in this 'Wutong Mansion', I killed three 'Xiaoyao Realm' demons, more than a dozen 'Huangting and Jingang' beings, and a Yuandan leader that I killed together with Xie Qiao!"

"In addition, the strange sea Yaksha that was killed by Black Mountain City before has made the demon-suppressing body even stronger, and the demon-hunting energy has become stronger."

"Unlike others, as long as I hunt down demons and slay monsters and strengthen my Dao Qi, I can make rapid progress in my cultivation just like others do by taking precious medicine or swallowing great pills!"

"It takes thirty years of Huangting to enter Xiaoyao. I have accumulated most of the power of Huangting Zhenqi in the past thirty years."

"As for the Free and Easy Realm."

"Looking inward at the statue of the 'Great Demon Lord', I have already formed the embryonic form of my divine consciousness. I only need to kill one more Yuan Dan, and then I will be able to return to the top of the 'Great Innate'!"

"Ji Xia has only practiced martial arts for half a year, but he has already achieved what Song Chai Xin has practiced for four or five years!"

"My life has really been all about my own efforts. Every time I practice, I can become more courageous and diligent!"

His eyes sparkled.

After thinking about the progress.

Without any hesitation, he stepped out of the gate of the prison, activated the 'Demon Hunting Dao Qi', and took a peek at the 'Dusk Qi' for the first time. He wanted to pursue the Yuan Dan, or the demons of the Great Innate level, to strengthen his Dao Qi!

But don't want to.
Wow!
The setting sun in the sky looks like falling blood.

According to the logic,

Under the command of Xuanqing Demon Lord Gu Hua, there are only six Yuandan demons, and two of them died in Qinjian Mountain. I just ran into one, and I killed one in Heishan City.
So there are only two left. Logically speaking, there should be at most two Yuandan-level "Dusk Qi" manifestations!
Can.
At this moment, Ji Xia stood at the gloomy and cold gate of the prison and looked up.

But I found that

All over the city.

More than a dozen Yuandan-level "rich dusk auras" were spreading throughout Wutong City, the streets and alleys, and the city areas in all directions, without missing a single one!
There is also a blood-red aura that can almost crush people to the point of suffocation, just like the old aura of the "Lord of the Great Snow Mountain" in the past.
Like a bright bloody sun, it manifests into tears of blood!

Ji Xia's face suddenly changed, and he remembered the backbone of this coalition army!

"Can the corpse of Nirvana also be transformed into 'Dusk Qi'?"

His face looked grim.

apathy!

It is the inheritance left by the Great Demon Lord, which means to eliminate evil and slay the traitors. As long as the alien species other than the human race is conquered, they can be transformed.

The more evil a person commits and the more people he kills, the more people will convert.

Even half-demons are different from ordinary demons!
There is no such thing as "old age"!
Can.
Wutong Mansion at this moment!

But the whole city is shrouded in the dusk.

Called Ji Xia's heart,
I felt a chill, as if I saw it.
Purgatory on earth.
