Chapter 234: Heaven Devouring Magic, Expedition to Eliminate Demons

If Leng Ningshuang hadn't been watching, Li Yanmo would have raised his hands and shouted "Long live!"

Everything went as he expected.

The princes who accidentally entered the cave had never seen so many resources and treasures, so naturally they took them all in one breath, leaving nothing behind.

Although some prestige experience overflowed, those princes were all born as commoners and had a very low weight ratio in Dayu, so the overflow was only a few hundred low-grade spirit stones, which did not pose a threat at all.

Once Shen Ziqing has used up all his spirit stones, he will be able to go bankrupt on the spot, obtain the spiritual energy of the avenue, and restore the damage left to the Chi Che world over nearly a thousand years!

Leng Ningshuang was shocked to see Li Yanmo so excited. "What happened?"

"Nothing, just stretching."

“…”

The disaster in the mine lasted only about ten minutes. After a short while of being arrogant, the useless old man was crushed to pieces by a powerful man named Dayu from a distance. He didn't even have a chance to escape.

Without the control of the useless old man, the strength of the other corpse cultivators was greatly reduced, and they were killed by Zhou Yi and others in a blink of an eye.

What follows is search and rescue and post-disaster relief.

In order to allow Li Lin and others enough time to digest the resources in the mine cave, the noble sons of the marquisate acted ruthlessly and prolonged the time for the aftermath. Shi Dan, who was in charge of the search and rescue, knew the plans of Li Yanmo and others, so he naturally patiently cooperated with the noble princes in their bullying.

Of course, if he got angry, these nobles would most likely take advantage of the situation and try to exile him.

The disaster at the mine naturally aroused the wrath of the Dayu court. However, Zhou Yi and other sect monks saw the injustice and came to help, and even saved the civilian Hou Shizi from the hands of many corpse cultivators.

Even if the imperial court knew that the old man with the useless corpse was related to the sect, it had no way to attack the entire Taoist sect. Not only could it not attack, it also had to reward Zhou Yi and others.

Not only did he successfully intensify the conflict between the commoner marquis and the aristocratic marquis, he also successfully obtained rewards from the Dayu Dynasty and even obtained the qualification to enter the Tianxu Tower.

Zhou Yi and others just felt refreshed, but they were not in a hurry to advance the plan.

Dayu suffered a loss, but it does not mean that he is a fool. If he rushes to push forward the plan at this time, mistakes are inevitable. Anyway, they are not worried that the conflict between the commoner marquis and the aristocratic marquis will be eased.

When leaving, Zhou Yi and others also invited Shen Ziqing to sit in their sect.

Shen Ziqing did not agree directly, but instead invited Zhou Yi and others to visit Tianxu Tower in Jingzhou.

After some hesitation, Zhou Yi and others gladly accepted Shen Ziqing's invitation.

Although they were already qualified to enter Tianxu Tower, being led into Tianxu Tower by Shen Ziqing himself was another matter.

However, Zhou Yi and others also kept a watchful eye. Only Zhou Yi, Cheng He, and Zhang Ke followed Shen Ziqing to Tianxu Tower. The rest of them said goodbye and left, saying they had to return to the sect to report.

Shen Ziqing saw through it, but did not speak it out. On the way to Tianxu Tower in Jingzhou, they did not mention the plans of Zhou Yi and others, but chatted about some family matters.

When they arrived in Nanyang City, Shen Ziqing's face straightened.

"I think you should have heard some rumors. Jingzhou Tianxu Tower is different from Ganzhou Tianxu Tower. The predecessor of Jingzhou Tianxu Tower... is the tomb of Emperor Lie."

Zhou Yi and the other two held their breath.

Naturally, they had heard of the name of Emperor Lie's Tomb.

With the titles of Immortal's Taboo, Lost Emperor, Ancient Battlefield, etc., the Tomb of the Fierce Emperor has become a treasure land in the eyes of cultivators that is no less than the battlefield of immortals. But even a super sect doesn't have the ability to find the tomb of Emperor Lie.

And this precious land actually became a part of Tianxu Tower long time ago!

Although they had heard such rumors a long time ago, when Shen Ziqing admitted it himself, huge waves still surged in their hearts.

Tianxu Tower is so terrifying!

As an ordinary door was opened and huge gears turned, a bizarre world appeared in front of Zhou Yi and others.

Zhou Yi and the other two were stunned.

"Three of you, please——"

In Shen Ziqing's call, Zhou Yi and others finally came back to their senses, and followed Shen Ziqing hand and foot into the former tomb of Emperor Lie, now Tianxu Tower.

There are people coming and going in Tianxu Tower, some are strangers and some are familiar.

Zhou Yi even saw many of the criminals on Dayu's wanted list.

Led by Shen Ziqing, the three of them came to the teahouse in Tianxu Tower, and four cups of tea were placed on the table.

Zhou Yi took a sip and his eyes widened, "This, this is spiritual medicine tea!?"

Cheng He and Zhang Ke, who originally had no interest in drinking tea, suddenly became interested in it.

The so-called elixir tea is naturally tea brewed with elixir.

The medicinal properties of spiritual herbs can only be fully exerted through alchemy. Making tea with spiritual herbs will not lose their medicinal properties, and the process is also simpler than alchemy, but it is really wasteful, so only super sects will do this.

"I wonder what your three plans are going to do next?" Shen Ziqing smiled and shook the teacup. He seemed to be indifferent, but his heart was bleeding.

It’s expensive! It’s too expensive!

If it wasn't for the desire to squeeze the money back from the sect a hundred or a thousand times, he wouldn't be willing to use the elixir to make tea!

Zhou Yi and the other two exchanged glances and came up with an idea.

Shen Ziqing has already shown his sincerity, and it would be somewhat impolite for them to remain vigilant.

“Master Shen, do you know the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art?”

Shen Ziqing raised his eyebrows slightly, "I would like to hear the details."

“The Heaven-Devouring Demon Art was once the signature magical skill of a demon lord. It can directly refine demons and cultivators of the same cultivation level. Not only can it turn them into puppets and control them directly, but it can also take over their cultivation level, magic formulas, lifelong learning, and even memories.” Zhou Yi took a sip of the elixir tea and smiled meaningfully.

Shen Ziqing was shocked in his heart, but smiled calmly on the surface, "So that's how it is. If Dayu knew that someone had learned such a magic skill, he would probably kill him at all costs. But those commoners and marquises are familiar with the books of sages, so they may not learn such magic skills."

“Books of sages? Hahahaha—Mr. Shen, ah, Mr. Shen, scholars are best at making up excuses to justify all their evil deeds,” Zhou Yi smiled contemptuously.

"They are all evil people, just like pigs and dogs. Naturally, I can do whatever I want with them."

"Although I have used my magic to absorb their cultivation and skills, I will only use them to save the people of the world."

"There is no such thing as magic in this world, only evil people who abuse their power."

"I have done nothing evil. They are afraid of me because they have something to hide."

Shen Ziqing nodded thoughtfully, "Brother Zhou is right. There are so many gentlemen in this world, why don't they learn this cannibalistic magic? Cannibalism is cannibalism. If you are a true gentleman, just kill the evildoers. Why bother to find so many excuses to eat people? But..."

Shen Ziqing paused and laughed.

"That Heaven Devouring Demonic Art might have some serious side effects."

Zhou Yi laughed, "There is no such good thing in this world. He has eaten too many people, so he can only rely on eating people to improve his cultivation. The memories and experiences he eats will not disappear, but will infect the user of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art little by little."

"All we need to do is let that brat continue to use the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art to eat people, and the opportunity... is right in front of us."

"Dayu suffered a great loss this time, and will definitely find a reason to suppress the sect."

Shen Ziqing squinted his eyes and opened them slightly.

"An expedition to slay demons."
