Chapter 327: Forced to the Nine Mountains, the Demon Ancestor Arrives
The colder the face of the Blood River Patriarch was, the number Uncle Pang’s feet were.
To be honest, he really felt that...Old Ancestor Xuehe should have been killed by Master Chengkong.
Alas, the Five Sects of Xuanwei.
Alas, quiet bamboo.
Are you trying to trick me like this?
Although the appearance of the Blood River Ancestor was a bit abrupt, Zheng Fa and the others were well prepared.
Senior Sister Zhang waved her hand, and the Mountain and River Seal in her hand flew out and hit the Blood River Ancestor on the head.
The Sun and Moon Bell then flew up, shining with golden light all around it. The sun and moon moved above it, and bursts of bell sounds echoed throughout the Nine Mountains Realm.
The sound of the bell was grand and majestic. The old man and others who were listening to it felt as if the mountains and rivers were turning upside down and the stars were dancing.
It can be seen that Zheng Fa has used all his strength.
Not to mention the Blood River Ancestor who was directly bearing the pressure of the golden bell - although he did not die, he looked like he had suffered a great loss under the Qingjing Bamboo, and even his physical body was destroyed. Now only a shadow of his soul remained.
Under the sound of the bell, the shadow flickered, and he could not hide the pain on his face.
Seeing this scene, the elders all breathed a sigh of relief.
But Senior Sister Zhang glanced at Zheng Fa with some confusion in her eyes - others couldn't see it, but she could see that Zheng Fa was a little distracted and was actually a beat slower than her.
Zheng Fa was indeed a little absent-minded:
He had just used the positive and negative five elements divine light, and actually felt something strange.
This feeling might be because it was the first time he used it to deal with a God of Transformation - he had never dared to use this thing to sweep a God of Transformation before.
This flying sword has been suppressed in the Sun and Moon Bell for some time.
He never tried that.
Now that he has tried it, the main reason is that his cultivation has improved and he feels more confident.
The most important thing is that he is worried about the Blood River Ancestor and must find out whether he is alive or dead.
But he felt something was wrong:
It seemed that the change of the five-colored divine light was not because of the Blood River Ancestor, but because of himself.
Faced with a powerful enemy, this thought only flashed through his mind. Zheng Fa concentrated his mind, controlled the Sun and Moon Bells, and worked together with Senior Sister Zhang to suppress the Blood River Ancestor.
Although the Blood River Patriarch was a bit cowardly when he was hiding, he was very tough at this moment. His eyes were cold, the immortal sword under him was surging with blood, and his divine power was no longer reserved.
The sky of the Nine Mountains Realm was changing unpredictably as the three fought.
The golden light and the bloody color intertwined and fought against each other, rising and falling like waves.
The fog above the nine islands was dyed into two colors.
The spiritual energy between the Sun and Moon Bell and the flying sword was shattered, dissipated and reorganized, and the medicine garden was like a typhoon passing through, withering and dying.
The elders and other Yuanying stage couldn't help but retreat, not daring to stay.
Only Senior Sister Zhang stood in the air, holding the Mountain and River Seal in her hand. A Mountain and River True Shape Talisman covered the sky and earth, like a net covering the flying sword of the Blood River Ancestor.
Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang were both at the level of Divine Transformation and had suppressed this flying sword before.
Now they are in the Nine Mountains Realm, and the Blood River Ancestor is injured, so there is no need to say much about his strength.
In just three sticks of incense, the only things left in the sky were the bright golden light of the Sun and Moon Clock and Senior Sister Zhang, who looked like a fairy.
Only a thin layer of blood light remained on the flying sword of the Blood River Ancestor, and it was no longer able to compete with the Sun and Moon Bell.
But the blood light was like a thin film, protecting the sword body and making it indestructible. It remained motionless under the attacks of the Sun and Moon Bell and the Mountain and River Seal.
Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang looked at each other and frowned slightly.
Behind him, Uncle Pang, whose legs were a little weak, came over and asked, "Can't you kill him?"
It can be seen that he was very anxious - after all, offending the Blood River Ancestor was a bit harsh.
Zheng Fa didn't say anything. Before coming, they had discussed:
The best way to deal with the Blood River Ancestor is to kill him directly:
In the future, if Master Chengkong asks Jiushan Sect to help and take out this magic sword, it can be said that Jiushan Sect has made due contribution.
Don’t bother me with other things.
Of course, the biggest reason is that they are not at ease leaving such a god in the Nine Mountains Realm.
Especially for the Great Freedom Demon Sect, where the upper-level cultivators have extremely strong control over the lower-level cultivators, Zheng Fa was quite wary of them.
If the Great Free Demon Ancestor borrowed the Blood River Ancestor to do something and descended upon the Nine Mountains Realm...
That would be a big deal.
Zheng Fa pondered for a moment, and the spiritual power in his body surged out and rushed into the Sun and Moon Bell.
The sound of the Sun and Moon Bells grew more urgent, and the golden light became more intense, illuminating the entire Nine Mountain Realm, from the sky to the earth, leaving no place unlit.
Not only the people from the Nine Islands of the Heavenly Palace, but also the common people from the Nine Mountains Realm, all looked up at the dazzling golden light in the sky.
Uncle Pang and others knew that Zheng Fa was using all his strength to try to kill the Blood River Ancestor.
Several people watched as the blood-colored film on the flying sword became smaller and smaller, and lighter and lighter. The sword body trembled slightly, as if wailing and begging for mercy. They couldn't help but look at each other, with joy in their eyes.
It seems that Zheng Fa was able to kill the Blood River Ancestor and resolve the future troubles.
But after a while, the golden light on the Sun and Moon Clock suddenly dimmed, and even the sound of the bell became a little soft.
Uncle Pang and the others couldn't help but look at Zheng Fa, and saw that Zheng's face was pale and helpless.
He pointed at the Sun and Moon Bell and said, "This thing consumes too much spiritual energy..."
Several people sighed in silence:
Zheng Fa, the leader, is good in every way, but he is not durable enough...
Looking at the flying sword of the Blood River Ancestor again, everyone frowned.
Although the blade of this flying sword is a little dimmer than before, it can still be said to be intact.
Sure enough, the shadow of the Blood River Ancestor slowly emerged again, sneering at everyone, as if he was very proud.
"I'll do it!"
Senior Sister Zhang raised the Mountain and River Seal in her hand and was about to take action.
Zheng Fa grabbed her arm and shook his head.
Senior Sister Zhang is different from himself. When she attacks, she only consumes spiritual energy. The last time Senior Sister Zhang attacked with all her strength, she got injured and it took her nearly a year to recover.
If he tried his best at this moment, he probably wouldn't be able to kill the Blood River Ancestor - after all, no matter how powerful the Mountain and River Seal was, it could not compare to the Sun and Moon Bell in the Nine Mountains Realm.
In this case, if Senior Sister Zhang takes action again and gets hurt, it would be even more disadvantageous.
…
Zheng Fa and the others frowned and looked at the Blood River Ancestor.
There was still a sneer on the face of the Blood River Patriarch.
"How about we go and ask Xitian... er, Master Chengkong?"
Zheng Fa saw him smiling smugly and spoke.
Sure enough, the smile on the face of the Blood River Ancestor froze slightly.
Seems a little scared.
"I'll go and invite you!"
If we talk about the person who wants to kill the Blood River Ancestor the most, Zheng Fa doesn't know that in the Nine Mountains Realm, it is definitely Uncle Pang!
Hearing what he said, the Blood River Patriarch's face became even angrier. He stared at Uncle Pang, as if he had memorized his appearance very well.
It can be seen that he is indeed very afraid of Master Chengkong, and at this moment he has an expression of anxiety and anger.
"slow!"
Uncle Pang was about to send out a communication talisman, but Zheng Fa suddenly raised his hand and stopped Uncle Pang's action.
Uncle Pang couldn't help but turn his head and look at Zheng Fa with a puzzled look on his face.
"You...really want Jiang Chengkong to come?"
Zheng Fa suddenly asked the Blood River Ancestor.
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding Zheng Fa's question.
But the expression on the face of the Blood River Patriarch was a little stiff.
"What did you say?"
He finally spoke, as if he didn't understand what Zheng Fa said.
Zheng Fa nodded again and said affirmatively: "So, this flying sword... is your cage? What fought against us just now was not you, but the intelligence of this flying sword?"
“…”
Senior Sister Zhang and the others were startled and looked at the Blood River Ancestor with doubt.
They thought about it and understood——
Regardless of whether the Blood River Patriarch was really afraid of Jiang Chengkong, such an obvious change in expression was indeed too deliberate.
After all, the Blood River Ancestor is a deity after all, and has lived for more than ten thousand years.
I really can't hold my breath...
It really shouldn't be.
But it wasn't that Senior Sister Zhang and the others couldn't see something strange... Really, who could have thought that the Blood River Patriarch's natal flying sword seemed to have a grudge against him and became his own cage? If Zheng Fa hadn't said this, they would never have believed it.
But seeing the shocked, angry, horrified and confused look on the Blood River Patriarch's face, they had to believe that Zheng Fa was really right.
"How...did you know that?"
Zheng Fa did not explain. When he used the positive and negative five elements divine light just now, he had an unprecedented feeling. This natal flying sword seemed to have its own will...
It is natural for Lingbao to have his own will.
But the will of this natal flying sword is different from that of the Blood River Ancestor, and there is even a sense of confrontation between the two.
If Zheng Fa did not have the positive and negative five elements divine light, this kind of understanding would not be understood until he reached the state of spiritual transformation.
The Blood River Patriarch looked at Zheng Fa with an uncertain expression.
Zheng Fa's thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.
He remembered many things...
They knew before that the cultivator's natal spiritual treasure was, to some extent, an artificial intelligence constructed with spiritual energy circuits.
Through Sister Zhang’s research on the Nine Mountain Patriarchs, they can be said to have verified this theory.
But on the other hand - this is the Tianhe method.
Whether this is the case with the magic sect's methods remains to be seen.
What's more, this Blood River Patriarch has lost another flying sword. Is this spiritual energy circuit still intact? Artificial intelligence may also be at risk of becoming artificially retarded...
Senior Sister Zhang frowned, her eyes lit up, and she looked at the flying sword.
After a long moment, she nodded towards Zheng Fa. Apparently, this flying sword was very similar to what they had deduced - that is, it also had a rich spiritual energy circuit sufficient to form an intelligent one.
The expression of the Blood River Patriarch also calmed down from the shock. He looked at Zheng Fa, but his tone was full of affirmation: "I have always been wondering why the Demon Ancestor issued a decree and asked us to guide you into the sect..."
"Now I understand."
There was no trace of fear in his tone. Instead, he seemed to be superior when commenting on Zheng Fa.
Does the Great Free Demon Ancestor care about himself very much?
This guy is already seeking death!
Although Zheng Fa didn't know why the Great Free Demon Ancestor valued him, he even had to avoid the Tai Shang Dao who had a better reputation, so he didn't want to have anything to do with the Great Free Demon Ancestor.
Then I heard the Blood River Patriarch say:
"Since you have seen it... now, what can you do to me?"
Uncle Pang and the others looked very unhappy.
They can't see it now.
This Blood River Patriarch is not only not afraid of death, he probably wants to die...
"So, your consciousness entering the flying sword now is not voluntary..."
Zheng Fa realized the truth.
"Oh, if the Pure and Quiet Bamboo hadn't shattered my Rebirth Sword, how could I have fallen into this cage?"
It can be seen that the Blood River Ancestor really does not want to possess this flying sword.
I am even more unwilling to stay in the Nine Mountains Realm...
"...your flying sword is damaged, but you were able to escape?"
Zheng Fa asked again.
The Blood River Patriarch stopped talking.
But it's almost like a default.
Zheng Fa nodded again and said, "So, you think we can't do anything to you, so you ask Master Chengkong to destroy the flying sword, and you can escape from our control..."
The Blood River Patriarch looked at Zheng Fa with a calm look mixed with a hint of sarcasm.
Uncle Pang and the others all looked very unhappy.
It's not possible to kill this guy now, but if you don't kill him, it will cause trouble in the future.
It is indeed a hot potato.
"Master Xuehe," Zheng Fa's tone suddenly became very polite, "Actually, I really want to ask you something. Is the method of transformation of the Great Freedom Demon Sect from the Dharmakaya lineage?"
"You have some knowledge."
The Blood River Patriarch looked relaxed, even smiling.
“Well, according to my understanding of the Great Freedom Demon Sect, even if you reach the state of Divine Transformation, you will not be able to escape the control of the Demon Ancestor…right?”
"We are the monks of the Holy Church. The will of the Holy Ancestor is our wish. How can we control it?"
The Blood River Patriarch said this, his face full of loyalty to the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"So, my natal spirit treasure has developed its own intelligence and wants to escape from the control of the Demon Ancestor... You are scared, right?"
“…”
The Blood River Patriarch stopped smiling.
He looked at Zheng Fa, his illusory figure trembling, as if these words frightened him more than the power of the Sun and Moon Clock.
Senior Sister Zhang looked at him with a puzzled expression, and couldn't understand why Zheng Fa made such a judgment.
"... Senior Sister, the natal magic weapon, or spiritual treasure, actually has intelligence. In the Tianhe Method, this is where the true self is stored." Zheng Fa explained his thoughts.
"Master Xuehe..." Zheng Fa smiled at Master Xuehe very kindly, but Master Xuehe looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"The practice of the magic sect's method is probably to obey the devil ancestor. If the body of the Blood River Master had not been wiped out by the Pure Tranquility Bamboo, he would naturally be fine. But now that he has lost his body, the spiritual wisdom in this flying sword is intact. Now it is the loss of one while the other is gaining, and the will of the spiritual treasure is the main thing."
Zheng Fa said every word.
The shadow of the Blood River Ancestor trembled.
Obviously he wasn't pretending to be scared this time.
It's really scary.
"How...did you know that?"
He looked at Zheng Fa, and his eyes were no longer condescending, but instead filled with fear.
Apparently... this is his deepest secret,
Zheng Fa pointed at the flying sword and said with a smile: "It told me."
When the positive and negative five elements divine light swept across the flying sword, he had a strange feeling: the flying sword seemed to be communicating with him, or in other words, transmitting messages.
He originally thought it was a trick of the Blood River Ancestor, but after careful consideration, he found that it was full of dissatisfaction with the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor.
I don't know if the Great Free Demon Ancestor will admit that this is a trick...
Especially after seeing that the Blood River Ancestor actually wanted Jiang Chengkong to give him another bamboo, he became more certain of the authenticity of the information.
It was not known whether this improvement was because it was the first time that Zheng Fa used the positive and negative five elements' divine light to deal with spiritual treasures, or because he had comprehended a little bit of the essence of the five elements' magic, which promoted the improvement of this magical power.
But it did give Zheng Fa an unexpected surprise.
Senior Sister Zhang frowned, as if she understood something: "You mean, the will in this spiritual treasure is like the self of the Blood River Ancestor? Wants to rebel against the Great Free Demon Ancestor?"
"My Self?" The Blood River Ancestor said angrily, "What is the Self? It's a fool!"
"Leaving the Holy Ancestor?"
"The Holy Ancestor's divine power is as great as a prison. How could I have such a suicidal thought?"
"This Blood Sword is clearly ignorant and unconscious. I just hate that I am trapped in it!"
Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang looked at each other and became more certain in their hearts:
Although they don't know the principle of the magic of incarnation.
But the Blood River Patriarch was probably tricked by the artificial idiot...
Simply put, this flying sword has gone astray... No, it has gone astray into liberalism.
It can be seen that the Blood River Ancestor had no intention of betraying the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor and was obviously still very clear-headed.
After Blood River Patriarch finished saying this, his face became as gloomy as water. It was obvious that he was more dissatisfied with his own Blood Sword than Zheng Fa and the others.
After that, no matter what Zheng Fa said, he remained silent.
It seemed that he was afraid that Zheng Fa would see something more - after all, Zheng Fa could inexplicably see even his deepest secrets clearly...
At this moment, he had to admit that he understood more and more why the Holy Ancestor valued this man.
On the other hand, he was also certain that Zheng Fa had no way to deal with him, so he felt fearless and did not want to cooperate.
Uncle Pang and others all frowned.
The old man came over, thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we ask Master Chengkong to come? Even if he is allowed to escape... after losing his life treasure, this blood river is not a concern for the Nine Mountains Realm."
Zheng Fa nodded slightly. This idea was reasonable:
Although releasing the Blood River Ancestor was a bit of a loss.
But in the Nine Mountains Realm, it has indeed become a hidden danger now - especially when no one knows what the Great Freedom Demon Sect wants to do in Chen County.
He didn't say anything, just sat on the ground, recovering his magic power.
He consumed quite a bit of energy when he used the Sun and Moon Clock before.
Senior Sister Zhang and others didn't know what he wanted to do, they just stared at Old Ancestor Xuehe to prevent him from moving.
After a while, Zheng Fa stood up and nodded gently to the Blood River Ancestor, his expression becoming more and more kind.
"What do you want to do..."
Before Zheng Fa could finish his words, a beam of positive and negative five-element divine light flashed out and headed straight for the flying sword.
This time, he could indeed sense that his understanding of the positive and negative five elements divine light had really deepened. He even had a vague feeling that he was scanning the structure of the flying sword...
It turns out that this magical power can be advanced? If he can scan the structure of this flying sword, can he also scan other magic weapons?
This will be of great benefit to him in constructing his own life magic weapon in the future! As for why there is such progress, Zheng Fa thought about it and thought it was probably because of his understanding of the five elements magic and spiritual materials - this also indirectly proved that some of his ideas were indeed correct! It was just because of his doubts about the wood element magic that this understanding was still a little vague.
As the five-colored light swept across the flying sword, the expression of the Blood River Ancestor on the flying sword changed, and after a moment, even his eyes changed.
Senior Sister Zhang and the others stared at the shadow, all of them curious.
This new Blood River Patriarch seemed a little confused, and looked at Senior Sister Zhang and the others with a wary look.
Uncle Pang's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Master Xuehe... when Master Chengkong comes, he will definitely wipe out the spiritual power of your life-defining flying sword..."
"don't want!"
The Blood River Patriarch spoke in a hoarse voice, his tone was actually panic, no longer as calm as before.
"Are you scared?"
Uncle Pang asked.
"If my spirituality is wiped out, my body will fall into the blood sea of the Holy Ancestor and reshape into a physical body..."
Zheng Fa then understood why Master Xuehe was so fearless and even wanted to die.
"Then why don't you want to!"
"How can we, as monks, live under others for long?"
“…”
"What's more, if the flying sword's spiritual power is wiped out, I will no longer be here!"
“…”
"My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of the Demon Ancestor!"
After listening to the words of the Blood River Ancestor... uh, the flying sword spirit, everyone's expression was a little strange.
Now they understood why the Blood River Ancestor mentioned the spirituality of the flying sword as if he had eaten shit.
...Which main body wouldn't be afraid of this thing? After an incense stick, the expression of the Blood River Patriarch changed again, returning to his previous indifference - and suspicion.
"What did you do?"
He looked at Zheng Fa and asked.
Zheng Fa nodded to Uncle Pang beside him, and Uncle Pang smiled coldly and took out a photo-taking talisman.
Among them were the crazy and rebellious words of the flying sword spirit.
The more he listened, the more distorted the Blood River Patriarch's expression became.
"Well, I'm going to give this photo talisman to Master Chengkong... oh, and give one to the Hundred Immortals Alliance."
The Blood River Patriarch’s face twitched.
"Uncle Pang, you have many friends, why don't you share some?"
"Okay, I'll write a letter later."
"…Do you think this can threaten me?"
The Blood River Patriarch took a deep breath, and the anger on his face gradually subsided.
"Do you think that people inside and outside the Saint Sect can't tell that this is not me?"
"Of course I can see it..." Zheng Fa nodded with a smile, "The problem is, although this is not you, it is your life-saving magic weapon..."
"Can you say that you have never had these thoughts?"
The expression of the Blood River Patriarch became stiff again.
He couldn't refute what Zheng Fa said - no matter how stupid his natal spiritual treasure was, it was based on his previous memories.
Moreover, to be fair, who wouldn't want to break through the barriers sometimes? He just used reason to suppress many suicidal thoughts.
"So what?"
"Of course it's not a big deal on normal days, but now... your life treasure is damaged. Even if you can restore your body, I'm afraid you won't be as good as before in the Great Freedom Demon Sect."
Zheng Fa's words were another heavy blow.
His meaning was clear - if the Immortal Sect was like this, how much better could the Demon Sect be? This Blood River Patriarch would definitely not be short of enemies.
Now he is weak and has something to hold over him.
I don't know how I died when I returned...
“Holy Ancestor…”
"Oh, you said that if the Great Free Demon Ancestor knew about your life treasure's thoughts, would he really protect you?"
“…”
The so-called loyalty is not absolute, that is, absolutely not loyal...
The Blood River Patriarch stopped talking.
It can be seen that he has no confidence either.
"What do you want? If you want me to submit to you..." The Blood River Patriarch sneered, "Don't even think about it."
Zheng Fa smiled and suddenly took out a stack of papers from behind him.
"...Cooperation Agreement?"
After reading it, the Blood River Patriarch understood what Zheng Fa meant.
The agreement is certainly unfair—
It stipulates that the Blood River Patriarch must obey Zheng Fa, not enter or leave the Nine Mountains Realm without permission, not harm anyone in the Nine Mountains Realm, not reveal any secrets, etc...
But on the other hand, it also guaranteed that Zheng Fa would not deliberately harm the Blood River Ancestor, would not assign tasks to the Blood River Ancestor regardless of the risks, and was even willing to modify the agreement in the future to give him more freedom...
As he watched, the Blood River Patriarch actually felt that... being in Zheng Fa's hands was actually better than being in the Great Freedom Demon Sect.
At least I can't die...
After a long silence, the Blood River Patriarch suddenly said, "This... I won't sign."
"Um?"
Zheng Fa frowned, his eyes a little cold.
He doesn't want to let the Blood River Ancestor go now, naturally because he is afraid that the other party will be detrimental to the Jiushan Sect if he goes out, and he also doesn't want to increase the strength of the Great Freedom Demon Sect.
On the other hand, after he heard that the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor was interested in him, he became more concerned about the Great Freedom Demon Sect - that's why he wanted to keep the Blood River Ancestor to see if he could find out any information.
But if this person is ignorant...
"The Holy Ancestor is coming."
But then I heard what the Blood River Ancestor said.
"!"
Everyone was inexplicably horrified.
Zheng Fa suddenly had an idea and asked, "Chen Jun?"
