Chapter 360: Extraordinary Mind and Unparalleled Understanding

Zheng Fa didn't know that Master Mingde had brought Hao Risang for him.

Only after he heard Master Chengkong talk about the Seven Dragons Sea Formation did he know the full picture of the war. It was from Master Chengkong that he learned that the Netherworld Immortal was dead.

Zheng Fa thought for a while and looked at Xuehe Patriarch and Jiao Wuji standing beside him.

"Does the Great Freedom Demon Sect still have a Master of Transformation?"

The two looked at each other, and the Blood River Patriarch looked a little uncertain: "What I know is gone, but what I don't know..."

Zheng Fa looked at Jiao Wuji. What the Blood River Ancestor didn't know was the arrangement that the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor had made among the demon clan.

Jiao Wuji shook his head: "The Holy Ancestor only cultivated four of us in the God Transformation Demon Clan. At least I don’t know of any other God Transformation…"

Zheng Fa believed what they said - so, the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor had no one left under his command?

He nodded slowly, and suddenly asked Jiao Wuji: "Then... where are the four blood evil flags?"

There was also a look of confusion on Jiao Wuji's face, and he seemed to have no idea where the Blood Evil Flag was.

"After the Netherworld Immortal died, Master Mingde and his men at least searched for him once...but they didn't find the Blood Evil Flag."

The old man expressed an idea: "...it may also be in the storage magic weapon of the Netherworld Immortal."

"It's possible. I also thought that the Blood Evil Flag was in the hands of the Netherworld Immortal." Zheng Fa agreed while staring at Jiao Wuji, "But now after listening to the Netherworld Immortal's arrangements, I don't think so anymore."

Jiao Wuji's face suddenly turned pale.

"He has trapped himself in the Seven Dragons Sea Formation, and he cannot escape unless he dies. What's the point of him holding this Blood Evil Flag?"

The old man understood immediately, squinted his eyes, and looked at Jiao Wuji with a cold gaze: "You are right, only if it is handed over to the Four Transformation Gods of the Demon Clan can it be used to guide the Great Free Demon Ancestor."

Jiao Wuji lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he said, "It was given to us."

Zheng Fa had a cold face, and his mind turned into a blade, and he lightly cut a black jade ring on his right hand. The cut was very light, but Jiao Wuji knelt on the ground with his head in his hands, letting out a heart-wrenching wail, and rolling on the ground in agony.

Where is the trace of a god?

The Blood River Patriarch shuddered, and the flying sword under his feet tilted, as if he was afraid of being touched by this confused guy.

Jiao Wuji rolled over on the ground for more than ten times, and finally prostrated himself, using his forehead to support his limp upper body, his voice hoarse and weak: "I will never... I will never dare to do it again, I will never dare to do it again..."

It seemed as if he only had the strength and energy to say this word, and he dared not say it again for seven or eight times before he gradually regained his clarity of mind.

Zheng Fa looked at Jiao Wuji who was kneeling on the ground. He had no opinion about this monster. Jiao Wuji and Jiushan Sect were enemies, and he surrendered only to save his life.

Zheng Fa didn't expect much loyalty from him.

He could even forgive this person's previous concealment. After all, he could tolerate Jiao Wuji being somewhat loyal to the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor or being afraid of Zheng Fa.

But... when Zheng Fa asked him, this person was still pretending, which made the situation quite different.

Although Jiao Wuji and Xuehe Patriarch both came from the Great Freedom Demon Sect.

But Zheng Fa's trust in the two is very different: the Blood River Ancestor may now be more afraid of the resurrection of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor than himself.

But Jiao Wuji...from what we saw just now, he still has some thoughts of luring the Demon Ancestor away.

Zheng Fa looked at Jiao Wuji lying on the ground and said only two words: "Where?"

"We...hid the Bloody Evil Flag on an island."

"Island?" The old man was even more confused. "Why would you hide it? Why not bring it with you?"

Indeed, this is a bit inconvenient.

If you want to set up the formation, you have to go back and get it.

"Qin Mu... Qin Mu reminded us that if we hold the Blood Evil Flag, it will be easily stolen. We have to hide it well..."

Jiao Wuji spoke in a halting manner.

"He even chose an unknown island. No one knows about it except us gods!"

As soon as he said this, several people in the hall couldn't help but look at Zheng Fa.

There is only one thief in the entire Xuanwei Realm who can leave such a huge shadow on the Netherworld Immortal.

…

This is an extremely inconspicuous island, not very big, only about three or four kilometers long and wide, and there is no spiritual fluctuation on it.

There are dozens of islands of similar size around it. If someone who is not familiar with it comes here, he may not be able to tell which one is which for a while.

"Is this the island?"

Zheng Fa looked at Jiao Wuji standing aside.

Jiao Wuji stood beside him, looking at the shape of the island in the light curtain, and seemed unable to recognize it. He nodded after a long time.

Zheng Fa nodded to Senior Sister Zhang beside him, and Senior Sister Zhang flew out of the Nine Mountains Realm holding the Mountain and River Seal.

After a while, she returned to the Nine Mountains Realm and shook her head at everyone: "There are no big caves on this island, and there is no spiritual energy. It doesn't look like a place where treasures can be hidden."

“…”

Everyone looked at Jiao Wuji.

“Under the sea! Under the sea!” Jiao Wuji looked anxious, as if he was trying to explain, but was afraid that Zheng Fa would not believe him. “There is a dark cave at the bottom of the sea that can only be opened by the Saint Ancestor’s disciples. Besides, we are even stronger in the sea… We are not afraid of those who come to rob the treasure…”

"You mean, only you can go out?"

Jiao Wuji nodded and looked at Zheng Fa with a bitter smile on his face: "I didn't dare to say this before because I was afraid that you wouldn't believe it..."

Zheng Fa thought for a while and said, "Half an hour."

"Um?"

"If you don't come back in half an hour, I will destroy the soul seal... Of course, you, the Great Freedom Demon Sect, may not be afraid..."

Jiao Wuji's face turned pale, and he stammered, "I'm scared! I'm scared!"

Zheng Fa glanced at the Blood River Patriarch. He discovered that, for the people of the Great Freedom Demon Sect, returning to the Blood Sea was definitely not a good thing...

Jiao Wuji jumped out from the Nine Mountains Realm, transformed into a strange dragon, and dived into the sea.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Jiao Wuji had not returned yet.

Before long, half an hour had passed.

"Did I see the wrong person? Is this demon... so loyal?"

The Blood River Patriarch muttered to himself, with a rare hint of guilt in his tone, as if he was reflecting on his actions of forcing a woman of good character into prostitution.

Zheng Fa frowned slightly, wondering if there was a secret door in the sea? Did Jiao Wuji really run away? He looked at the soul seal in his hand, feeling a little surprised, but also a little respectful to Jiao Wuji - this monster is not afraid of death! Everyone was guessing, but couldn't figure out a clue. When they looked at each other in silence, there was movement in the sea!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Three earth-shattering crashes came from the bottom of the sea, and three huge waves dozens of feet high surged up on the sea surface.

Then, the island shook twice, and slowly flew up into the sky in the light curtain.

Zheng Fa was alert and was about to run away as he pointed at the Sun and Moon Bell, when he saw a strange dragon emerging from the water with its hands holding up a small hill.

“Master! I have dug this cave completely empty, but I still can’t find the Blood Evil Flag!” He was anxious, and was afraid that Zheng Fa would not believe him, so he shouted in the direction of the Nine Mountains Realm, “Master, if you don’t believe me, I will move this cave to you!”

Zheng Fa was a little stunned when he heard this.

Then I heard the Blood River Patriarch seem to be relieved: "That's right, this guy is very afraid of death!"

The old man and others looked at Jiao Wuji who was still explaining in the light curtain and nodded one after another - it was rare to see someone working so hard to survive...

“It’s really gone…”

Jiao Wuji didn't just dig three feet into the ground, but almost tore this poor island into pieces of stone, but he still couldn't find the Blood Evil Flag.

In order to gain everyone's trust, he even emptied all his magic storage devices to prove his innocence.

In Zheng Fa's opinion, this person's performance was about 70% credible.

As for the remaining doubts, it is not that important as long as they are confined within the Nine Mountains Realm.

The important thing is - if it wasn’t Jiao Wuji, then who took the Blood Evil Flag?

"You few gods are the only ones who know?"

Zheng Fa confirmed it again.

"Yes! This island was found temporarily, and even the forbidden spells were set up by us together."

Jiao Wuji said with certainty.

“Who could it be then?” The old man’s face looked very serious, as if he realized the problem.

"There are two possibilities," Senior Sister Zhang analyzed with a frown, "One is that the Seven Great Saints killed the last demon tribe member. We saw the body, but what if they searched the soul, or simply abandoned the car to save the king?"

Zheng Fa and others nodded, this was the first thing they thought of.

"Second, it is... the Netherworld Immortal's back-up plan!"

"Backhand? Isn't he dead?"

"This person is very thoughtful. Maybe he has made plans for his afterlife. Moreover, it is uncertain whether he is dead or not. Didn't he resurrect once?" Senior Sister Zhang shook her head and said, "Yao Chi Huashen said that he cannot leave the Seven Dragon Sea Formation unless he dies, but..."

Zheng Fa also understood what Senior Sister Zhang meant.

Of course, they believed what Yao Chi Huashen said. They could not easily question the knowledge of the Five Xuanwei Sects about various secret techniques.

But the problem is, now the Blood Evil Flag is gone! Something must have gone wrong, and this mistake... may lead to the resurrection of the Great Free Demon Ancestor! Too little information makes the situation even more difficult than before!

"There is nothing we can do about this. The only way is to strengthen ourselves." Seeing that everyone was silent, Zheng Fa encouraged them, "Maybe with the Fusang wood, the Nine Mountains Realm can become even stronger?"

"Even without the Fuso wood, isn't Tianhe Swordsmanship still very powerful?"

The old man stood aside, his expression changing from time to time, and then slowly turned calm, as if he had made up his mind.

…

As soon as Zheng Facai returned from the sea, he received a message from Master Chengkong saying that they had returned to Tongming Mountain.

After much thought, Zheng Fassi decided that it would be better to discuss the matter of the Bloody Flag in person to avoid any leaks.

When he brought the Nine Mountain Realm to Tongming Mountain, he realized that this was not a good time to speak - they had completely defeated the Great Freedom Demon Sect, and the immortal forces were already impatient to hold a celebration party.

As soon as Zheng Facai walked into the Tongmingshan Hall, he felt the sight was off-putting.

Hundreds of Yuanying gathered together, and only then did their true natures become apparent: if they lived long enough, they would either become stubborn or abnormal.

Stubborn but still decent.

The perverted ones are really perverted.

Zheng Fa even saw a Yuanying Zhenren with his robes opened and one leg standing on a low table, looking very daring. He was obviously drunk - this was probably a stubborn pervert...

What surprised Zheng Fa a little was that although the people from the five sects including Master Mingde were not so unruly, they did not stop him either.

However, Master Mingde’s face turned a little dark, and he seemed to be unable to sit still, so he left the seat after a while.

It was obvious that he didn't like it, but he didn't want to spoil everyone's fun.

Zheng Fa walked to the seat prepared for the Jiushan Sect, and Master Tongming came over with a smile and said, "For this celebration banquet, except for Yuanying, no one else can enter. It's rare for everyone to be so unrestrained..."

After hearing this, Zheng Fa couldn't help but agree - for the God of Transformation, the arrival of the Great Free Demon Ancestor in Xuanwei was a very terrifying thing.

Not to mention these Nascent Souls.

Now that the Great Freedom Demon Sect is almost destroyed, everyone is probably extremely happy.

There are no disciples here, so isn't it a good time to have a party? No wonder even Master Mingde didn't want to spoil the fun.

So...it's better to talk about the bloody flag later.

Otherwise he was afraid of being beaten.

Although the people from Jiushan Sect arrived late, the Nascent Souls had been paying attention to them. After all, in this last battle, Jiushan Sect had made a huge contribution.

Emotionally speaking, Jiushan Sect almost saved their lives.

In reality, the strength shown by Jiushan Sect cannot be ignored by the five Xuanwei Sects! When Zheng Fa was sitting, many Yuanying Zhenren came over with wine glasses to toast him. Their words were quite humble and flattering. They almost praised Jiushan Sect as the mainstay of Xuanwei Realm and Zheng Fa as a god who saved people from suffering.

Although these words sounded somewhat flattering, there seemed to be some truth in them.

After all, even Xie Qingxue and others from the Five Xuanwei Sects are not so popular.

The hustle and bustle in front of the Jiushan Sect case attracted the attention of Xie Qingxue and Master Tongming.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The two looked at each other for a long time, becoming more and more surprised. They looked at each other and felt the same way:

The people of the Nine Mountains Realm are too kind! Not only Zheng Fa, but also Zhang Wuyi, Master Pang and Master Yuan behind him, were all extremely cautious.

Amidst the flood of flattery, everyone seems calm and indifferent.

In fact, the more people praise them, the more humble they become, and they really seem to be indifferent to fame and fortune.

If it was just Zheng Fa, it would be fine, but everyone in Jiushan Sect is like this...

"Now I know why the Jiushan Sect can achieve such success."

Master Tongming sighed softly, and the people from the five Xuanwei sects around him nodded one after another, and the way they looked at Zheng Fa and the others became more cautious: people who did nothing were so excited that they were bragging when they were drunk.

The man who had made great contributions was worried and looked serious.

The people of Jiushan Sect have extraordinary minds! After the celebration banquet, Master Chengkong found Zheng Fa. He seemed to have drunk a lot of spirit wine. He was a little drunk at the moment and acted a little wildly.

With a sultry smile on his face, he patted Zheng Fa's shoulder and said, "It's a great day, why don't you look happy?"

“…There’s really nothing to be happy about.”

Zheng Fa sighed and was about to tell Master Cheng Kong about the Blood Evil Flag, but he saw Master Cheng Kong raise a finger and stopped him from speaking with a smug look: "I can guess why you are unhappy!"

“…”

"Come on, come on, there's something good. I guarantee you'll be unhappy if you watch it!"

Zheng Fa felt strange... Could it be that the Blood Evil Flag was taken by Master Cheng Kong?

Unlikely? The storage ring in Master Chengkong's hand flickered, and a jade box appeared in front of Zheng Fa.

"This is……"

“Open it and take a look!”

Master Chengkong said with a smile.

Zheng Fa gently opened the jade box and saw the branches in the flowerpot. He also heard the proud voice of Master Chengkong: "Hao Ri Sang!"

"I knew you were worried about this!"

"How about it?"

Zheng Fa lowered his head and looked at the mulberry tree in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"How is it? This is a good reward for saving my life, right?"

"That's enough..." Zheng Fa raised his eyes and said to Master Chengkong seriously, "Master, if you are about to be killed by the Great Free Demon Ancestor in the future, I will definitely save you again..."

“Great Free Demon Ancestor? Hey… Almost all of the Great Free Demon Sect members are dead this time. By the time he finds another opportunity, the spiritual energy will be gone!”

Master Chengkong smiled and waved his hands, seemingly not worried at all.

But looking at Zheng Fa's expression, he slowly, slowly put his hand down. Master Chengkong looked at Zheng Fa and was silent for a long time before speaking: "Aren't you worried about Hao Risang?"

"…The Blood Evil Flag is gone."

“…”

"The Netherworld Immortal may not be dead."

“…”

Master Chengkong stared blankly at the branch of the Hao Ri mulberry tree in front of him that was not even as high as his calf. He looked up at Zheng Fa and did not say something out of politeness - save me... with this thing?

…

The matter of the Blood Evil Flag is now only circulated among the Five Xuanwei Sects and the Nine Mountains Realm.

There is nothing that can be done about it. On the one hand, no one knows the truth of the matter, so there is no good way to deal with it. Telling it to others will only make people panic.

On the other hand, now that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, doing more will inevitably lead to more mistakes, so it is better to stay calm.

Master Chengkong obviously did not want to put his hopes on a small branch. He and Master Mingde were looking for someone to contact the Seven Great Sages, and at the same time they were using secret methods to search for the trace of the Netherworld Immortal.

Master Mingde had his own method of detecting the Netherworld Immortal. When the Seven Dragons Sea Formation was broken, he was able to immediately determine that the Netherworld Immortal was dead.

But now, he seemed unsure, and this secret method of detection didn't seem to produce any results...

Zheng Fa had no idea what the five Xuanwei sects were planning.

But the Jiushan Sect still has to rely on itself.

Zheng Fa took Hao Risang to the medicine garden to find Master Qian. On the University Island, Madam Xuanhua was also working hard.

"Failed..."

Yan Wushuang stood beside her, watching the fire in the cauldron gradually die out, his eyes inevitably showing a bit of dejection.

"The combination of particles and a sub-symbol is common in all alchemy methods. How to make it produce a second sub-symbol... is too difficult. According to the research of the Golden Elixir Project, the third step is the combination of the spiritual energy sub-symbol and particles, but no matter what spells we tried, we couldn't make the spiritual material particles produce a second sub-symbol."

Madam Xuanhua sighed and shook her head slowly. Beside her stood a group of disciples from the "Golden Elixir Project" team.

Yan Wushuang’s current identity is like a consultant.

He was not in a position to talk about his own secret techniques, but he could still find some faults and point out some problems.

"For now, we only know the principle, that is, the order in which the sub-symbols are connected is the order of the five elements." Madam Xuanhua shook her head and said, "This is actually different from spiritual materials. Many spiritual materials do not follow this rule."

She took out the Mirage Dragon Breath again and said to Yan Wushuang: "For example, this thing actually only has the Earth and Water Twin Talismans. Water and fire do not exist together, and they are not combined together."

"Therefore, many previous theories are no longer applicable."

"That's why Zheng Fa only thought of the Five Elements Ring after seeing your Wushuang Sword. Our previous observations were not like this."

"So this theory is actually mostly new to us."

Yan Wushuang nodded slightly and understood the difficulty.

It's impossible not to be difficult. How could the sword art created by the founder be studied so easily?

He hesitated and said, "How about I ask the senior sister to see if the internal skills of the sect can..."

"No need..." Madam Xuanhua shook her head and said, "Zheng Fa said that it's best not to refer to your sect's skills for this thing..."

Yan Wushuang was stunned.

Then Madam Xuanhua said, "Besides, if we can't establish a new system, how can we get along with the Tianhe Sect in the future?"

Yan Wushuang pursed his lips and understood what Madam Xuanhua meant: If the Jiushan Sect cannot carve out a path of its own, the Tianhe Sect will probably find fault with it in the future.

Even now, Zheng Fa and the others are not sure whether Tianhe Sect can accept this thing...

"actually……"

Yan Wushuang thought to himself that those people in the sect would definitely cause trouble, so it would be better to refer to some things from his own sect.

He thought for a long time and shouted, "I'll go find Zheng Fa!"

Madam Xuanhua seemed to have some ideas and followed him. Yan Wushuang turned around and looked at her in confusion.

Madam Xuanhua said, "I have some ideas as well."

Yan Wushuang's eyes lit up: "What method?"

Madam Xuanhua shook her head slightly, quite mysteriously.

Seeing the two of them coming together, Zheng Fa couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?"

Yan Wushuang directly expressed his thoughts, and then said: "Why don't I go ask my senior sister, if the sect agrees..."

His tone became lower and lower, and he whispered: "In fact, I don't need the consent of the sect. My senior sister agrees... a little basic skills..."

Zheng Fa's eyelids twitched: Do you know who your senior sister is? How dare you cheat her?

He thought about it, then shook his head and said, "I'm not completely afraid of your Tianhe Sect..."

He still respected Xuanweijie's patent rights, but Tianhe Sect...it was not the orthodox copyright successor!

The reason why he didn't want to refer to the Tianhe School's skills was actually because of his importance to the message left by Venerable Tianhe.

Venerable Tianhe only left his name without leaving any details. He must have a purpose...

He didn't want to die unless it was absolutely necessary.

Seeing Zheng Fa shaking his head, Yan Wushuang curled his lips and stopped persuading him. After all, this matter was still taboo. He remembered that Madam Xuanhua said that she also had a way, so he turned to look at Madam Xuanhua.

Madam Xuanhua took out a jade tube and handed it to Zheng Fa, saying, "This is the data from our experiment."

She watched Zheng Fa put away the jade tube, and then he turned and left as if he had finished talking.

Yan Wushuang was stunned, and followed her for a long time involuntarily, and suddenly asked: "That's it? Is this your method?"

"Um!"

"What's your plan for giving the jade tube to Zheng Fa?"

Yan Wushuang couldn't understand it even more.

"You don't understand Zheng Fa." Madam Xuanhua looked at the sky, as if she was talking about some distant myth. "If you have any problem, give him the data. Sooner or later, he will be able to solve the problem for you..."

Yan Wushuang's eyes slowly widened.

Madam Xuanhua looked back at him, and seeing his disbelief, she nodded solemnly: "It works every time."

“…”

"Let me tell you, Zheng Fa's comprehension..." Madam Xuanhua's face was filled with enthusiasm, "unparalleled in history!"

…

"Professor Tang, Cheng Yun, do you two have any ideas?"

In the nursing home, Zheng Fa rested his chin on his hand and looked at Tang Mudao and Cheng Yun who were thinking hard, with a smile on his face.

Isn't enlightenment just about closing your eyes and opening them again?

Very fast! (End of this chapter)
