However, the position of the Three Spirits Formation was fixed by the power of the formation, which maintained part of the mountain and prevented it from completely collapsing.

If someone were to look from outside the mountain, it would look like a large amount of flesh and blood of a person was falling off, bones were shattered and fell to the ground, and finally only a spine was left standing on the ground.

The noise was so loud that it alarmed the entire Dragon Realm Mountain Range, causing practitioners from all walks of life to look over here and rush over.

The battlefield chosen by Zhou Qing was definitely not near the Nakke Temple and Shuiyuan Taoist Temple, but on another mountain.

Otherwise, if he was very close to these three forces, as soon as the battle started, the people from Kesi would sense the movement and rush over at the first time, which would not be friendly to Zhou Qing.

But at this time, the mountains were collapsing and the earth was cracking. Such a movement could not be concealed no matter what. Fortunately, the real demon was dead.

Looking at the headless corpse of the true demon on the ground, the lines and light on Zhou Qing's body gradually subsided.

“Shhh!”

At this time, the real demon suddenly liquefied and lost its human form. Only a pool of black liquid remained on the ground. The black liquid made a corrosive sound and black smoke rose up.

After a few breaths, the black liquid became clear and transparent, and also emitted a fragrance.

The transparent liquid on the ground floated up again and directly entered Zhou Qing's body, instantly spreading to his limbs and bones, and then merging into his soul.

An extremely warm and comfortable feeling appeared, and Zhou Qing felt that all his energy was immediately restored, and all his fatigue was swept away.

Moreover, his strength was also increasing rapidly. The transparent liquid evaporated in his body, bringing him endless benefits.

If the true demon kills Zhou Qing, he can replace him.

But if Zhou Qing kills the real demon in return, it will naturally be beneficial.

Just like the Yuan Qi Demon contains the essence of Yuan Qi and is very helpful in improving cultivation, the same is true for the True Demon.

And because of the special nature of the true demon, the improvement he can bring to Zhou Qing is far greater than that of other demons.

Although it is not possible to completely inherit the power of the true devil, this is also a kind of original plunder, which has great benefits.

Zhou Qing could feel that the source of the true devil had saved him at least half a month of hard work and was comparable to a rare treasure.

Encountering a true demon in the realm of sainthood is a unique treatment in the world. This true demon did not live up to his own uniqueness and Zhou Qing was very satisfied with the great improvement.

At the same time, I feel a little regretful that there is only one true demon.

Unlike other demons like the Energy Demon, the True Demon will not appear in groups.

If true demons with strength comparable to that of cultivators appear in large numbers, no one will be able to withstand them.

"boom!"

When Zhou Qing was comprehending his own changes, a roar erupted from the Three Spirits Formation, and then I saw Mirror Me...

Exploded.

That’s right, it literally exploded, leaving no trace of the body, it was so tragic.

Zhou Qing's eyes twitched slightly. Although he did it himself, when this scene really appeared, it still gave him quite a shock.

I blew myself up on purpose.

The time of annihilation of body and soul is about to end, and I will soon fall into a weak state. By then, I will be too weak to participate in such a battle.

It would be better to take advantage of the last time before both body and soul are destroyed and make use of the last bit of energy left.

Then Zhou Qing reflected another mirror image of me. He was in his prime and showed no signs of weakness.

When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. I'm already dead, so how can I be weak? The priority of the side effect of being completely destroyed is definitely not as high as that of the Binary Star Mirror, so...

Jing I used the Annihilation of Body and Soul once again and rushed into the Three Spirits Formation.

Zhou Qing was thoughtful when he saw this scene.

It seems that I have developed a set of extraordinary tactics, a very powerful one.

That is: the self-destruct strategy.

It is really powerful, only those who use it know it.

At this time, a whistling sound was heard from afar, and the remaining masters from Nakke Temple and other places arrived, including the Venerable.

"Who is committing murder in Longjing Mountain?!"

Someone let out a long howl, and when he saw the situation inside the Three Spirits Formation, he became furious and prepared to break the formation to save people.

Their own masters were trapped and besieged by the formation. How could this be possible! "The ninth true disciple of Xuandu Temple has been ordered to do his job."

A calm voice sounded, "Whoever goes forward will become an enemy of Xuandu Temple."

"Anyone who moves without permission...will die."

A flash of sword light blocked the way for many masters, stopping them in their tracks.

All the masters who had rushed over looked at Zhou Qing. Some recognized him and their expressions changed drastically, while some did not recognize him, but seeing that the others did not move, they did not dare to act rashly.

"Donor Zhou, what do you mean?"

Abbot Lingyu walked out, his face full of confusion and anger.

"That Ke Temple's Yuan Fa, Shuiyuan Taoist Temple's Hanfeng Taoist, and Longjing Mountain God colluded with the devil and intended to murder me."

Zhou Qing glanced at Abbot Lingyu and asked:

"Abbot, what do you think I mean?"

"This is impossible!"

"absurd!"

“Nonsense!”

One stone caused a thousand ripples, and everyone present spoke out to refute Zhou Qing.

How could they murder the ninth disciple of Xuandu Temple in Longjing Mountain? Did they dare to do such a thing because they were kicked in the head by a donkey? Such a reason is too lame!

"That disciple of Ke Temple, Xuandu Temple Zhou Qing, is bullying us and wants to kill us. Let's take him down quickly!"

Yuan Fa of the Three Spirits Formation roared, "Xuandu Temple is going too far. Although we are of humble origins, we cannot be bullied!"

"Disciples of Shuiyuan Taoist Temple, capture Zhou Qing. Then we will go to Xuandu Temple and ask the master of Xuandu Temple to preside over the matter!"

“…”

Some people were persuaded, their hearts filled with anger at being oppressed by the disciples of the larger sects, and they were ready to take action.

They don’t think that their own master/temple master/god would collude with the devil. This is simply nonsense. This disciple of Xuandu is definitely slandering them!

Zhou Qing glanced at the whole audience and said lightly:

"I came here on the secret order of Xuandu Temple to investigate the problems at Longjing Mountain."

"Anyone who dares to move now will be regarded as colluding with the devil. Tonight, we will cut down the mountains and destroy the temples to exterminate the Taoist lineage!"

"You can try to see if you can kill me. Kill me and see what the consequences will be."

Zhou Qing stood in the air with his hands behind his back. Even though he was surrounded by dozens of venerables, he remained calm and composed.

There is no doubt that he is no match for these venerables combined.

But who can kill him, who dares to kill him? !

Who dares to touch him in public! If he were still in Tianzhou, and he was still that country boy with no one to rely on, he would naturally turn around and run after doing something like this tonight.

But the past was the past, and the present is the present.

The Ninth True Disciple of Xuandu Temple is in Hanzhou and does not need to flee from any local forces.

When the others saw Zhou Qing like this, their chests rose and fell, and they wanted to take action, but they...really didn't dare! This is the deterrent power of the Ten True Disciples of Xuandu Temple to these forces when they are in public! Abbot Lingyu was furious, "Donor Zhou, you are going too far!"

"Master Yuanfa spends all his time in the Nakke Temple practicing Buddhism. How could he possibly be colluding with the devil? This is slander!"

Zhou Qing stared at Ling Yu and saw that his expression did not seem fake.

"Abbot Lingyu, do you know the origin of Yuanfa's disciple, Fazhen?"

"Fazhen is the descendant of Master Yuanfa's friend in the secular world. After he became successful in his practice, he became Master Yuanfa's disciple!"

While Ling Yu was answering, Zhou Qing kept observing him to figure out if he was lying. Finally, Zhou Qing got the answer.

Are the four of them the only ones who know about the deal between Zhen Mo and Yuan Fa? Thinking of this, Zhou Qing threw out a wooden block with pupil patterns carved on it and activated it.

Then, a series of images were projected, showing exactly what had happened before the battle began.

It turned out that Fang Fa and others attacked Zhou Qing!

This is the footage Zhou Qing specially recorded just now as evidence, mainly for use when submitting the task.

However, these scenes made Abbot Lingyu and others silent. Their faces changed drastically, and they were shocked in their hearts. Then, a feeling of panic surged up directly.

If you want to murder the ninth true disciple of Xuandu Temple, the most important thing is that you haven't killed him yet...

It's over. It's completely over.

Zhou Qing put away the pupil-patterned wooden block and said, "Do you still want to help them?"

"Donor Zhou..."

Abbot Lingyu's voice was a little dry, "Could there be any misunderstanding?"

Zhou Qing chuckled, then immediately lost his smile and looked indifferent.

"Nake Temple, Shuiyuan Taoist Temple, Longjing Mountain Divine Realm, from this moment on, no one is allowed to leave Longjing Mountain."

"Everyone, what you should do now is to cooperate. This is the secret order given to me by Xuandu Temple. You should understand its meaning."

I understand. How could I not understand?

Since it is a mission from Xuandu Temple, it means that Yuanfa and the others have been targeted for a long time, and Longjing Mountain is already under the watchful eyes of Xuandu Temple.

"If you are not involved in this matter, then everything will be over after the investigation is complete."

"If you guys participate..."

Zhou Qing did not finish the rest of his words, but everyone present understood what he meant.

Everyone was confused and frightened, not knowing how things had turned out like this.

Zhou Qing just stared at Abbot Lingyu and others, and did not enter the Three Spirits Formation to participate in the battle.

With the configuration over there, it is enough to deal with the Dragon Realm Mountain God and others.

The first one to be taken down was Yuan Fa.

His physical body was directly destroyed by the Six Spirit Puppets, and his soul was very powerful, but he was ultimately just a pure warrior.

Yuanfa's soul was captured alive!

But it was not so easy to capture him alive later. Taoist Hanfeng was the third transformation of Yin God. His soul was too powerful. It was possible to kill him, but it was too difficult to capture him alive. In the end, he was beaten to death.

When a warrior is killed, his physical body usually dies but his soul can still live for a while. However, when a cultivator is killed, his soul usually dies immediately.

Therefore, it is much more difficult to capture the latter alive than the former. After all, after the warrior's physical body dies, his soul appears very weak compared to their powerful martial arts body.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Two masters who had reached the third level of transformation were defeated, so it was naturally impossible for the Dragon Realm Mountain God, who was one level weaker, to cause any trouble.

Looking at the fate of his two accomplices, Longjing Mountain God felt a sharp pang in his heart and immediately made a decision.

"Please spare my life. I know a lot of things. I am willing to go back to Xuandu Temple with you!"

He is a god, and his lifespan is longer than that of a normal sage. If possible, he really wants to live.

Hearing this, Zhou Qing's eyes moved slightly. He asked the Six Spirit Puppets and others to surround the Dragon Realm Mountain God and did not continue to attack.

Although Yuanfa's soul was obtained, it would naturally be better if we could capture a real person who was willing to provide information.

Looking at the Dragon Realm Mountain God, Zhou Qing threw something to him.

"Eat it."

This is a treasure that can seal strength.

The Dragon Realm Mountain God took a look at the six spirit puppets that were eyeing him hungrily, as well as the three spirit formation that had not relaxed at all, and finally did not resist.

After taking the sealing object, His aura immediately dropped, and eventually weakened to nothing, and was completely sealed.

The Six Spiritual Puppet brought the Dragon Realm Mountain God to Zhou Qing and asked, "Besides the three of you, are there any other people colluding with that demon?"

"No."

The Dragon Realm Mountain God replied dejectedly, "He tempted us by promising to advance to the Yellow Springs Realm. We dared not tell anyone else about this, lest the news leak out, or he wanted to monopolize the benefits."

They have surrendered voluntarily in order to survive. It is obviously unreasonable to still be stubborn at this time. You should cooperate when necessary.

The Dragon Realm Mountain God is truly a man of integrity. He should have preferred death to surrender just now...

"A demon at the Manifestation of Divine Purification Realm said he would help you advance to the Yellow Springs Purification Realm?"

Zhou Qing sneered, "You guys believe this?"

How is it possible in the world... Well, no, it seems possible.

He himself is an example of a saint who has washed his marrow and can help others ascend to the Yellow Springs...

But I am me, and the real devil is the real devil. Do you think everyone is me, Zhou Qing? "His methods are very strange. There are many methods that we cannot see the details of. They are very magical. Yuan Fa and Han Feng Lao Dao did gain some insights based on the methods he provided."

The Dragon Realm Mountain God says whatever he wants.

“Although those insights were few, they did move us.”

Yuanfa and Taoist Hanfeng are like people who are about to drown. Although they are not sure whether the True Demon's method will succeed in the end, it is enough for them to gain something and have hope.

They will desperately grasp at this straw because they have no other choice.

Zhou Qing was thoughtful. The real demon was probably quite capable. From the real demon's final move, it could be seen that this kind of demon had a heritage and its own cultivation civilization.

And given their cunningness, it is not impossible that they can come up with something in this regard.

Zhou Qing asked again: "What is the content of your transaction?"

"The Nakhe Temple and Shuiyuan Taoist Temple provide him with incense and I am responsible for refining the incense."

Zhou Qing immediately thought of the Buddha statue. This true demon had the ability to split itself. The abnormality of the Buddha statue was probably because he had split out an incarnation and entered the statue, making it easier to receive worship and incense.

After figuring this out, Zhou Qing found it a little absurd.

The devil stood openly in the Buddhist temple and accepted offerings from the monks. It was really... funny.

"Why does he want to burn incense?"

"I don't know, but he wants more than just thoughts and incense. Every person who worships him will have a bit of his energy sucked away while contributing thoughts and incense."

Zhou Qing's face turned cold, "Are the mortals in Longjing County also within his energy-sucking range?"

The Dragon Realm Mountain God hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"right."

"You should know that doing this will hurt a lot of people!"

The Dragon Realm Mountain God was silent. Of course they knew.

The so-called energy can also be said to be vitality. If a little loss of this thing can be replenished through rest, but the inexplicable loss of energy will always make people feel uncomfortable for a period of time.

Fortunately, the Dragon Realm Mountain Gods did not dare to do this recklessly, and the True Demons only dared to absorb energy secretly and in small quantities, so not much harm was caused.

But this is indeed the behavior of the devil. It must be said that this is also expected. What good can be done by trading with the devil? Zhou Qing gave Longjing Mountain God a cold look.

"I am unworthy of being a mountain god!"

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said:

"You must come back to Xuandu Temple with me immediately and confess everything truthfully."

"As for you..."

Zhou Qing looked at Abbot Lingyu and the others again, "Gather all the disciples and wait for the investigation!"

Although the Dragon Realm Mountain God said that no one except the three of them had colluded with the True Devil, but He was not the master of the Ke Temple and the Shuiyuan Taoist Temple. It was hard to say whether Yuanfa and the others had done something behind His back.

To be on the safe side, it is still necessary to conduct a screening.

If there really is no problem, then the Shuiyuan Taoist Temple and others will also be spared.

Zhou Qing was not an executioner and had no intention of slaughtering all the inhabitants of Shuiyuan Taoist Temple and Nake Temple.

As long as there is no problem and they are not involved in this matter, these people have nothing to do with him and are not within the scope of Xuandu Temple's mission.

Taking out the Tianxing Divine Boat, Zhou Qing flew away directly with the Dragon Realm Mountain God.

When Abbot Lingyu and the others saw this scene, they finally had the space to speak out. They all sighed, feeling that everything had happened too suddenly and the road ahead was bleak.

Such a thing happened inexplicably, where should they go? But soon, Abbot Lingyu and his men saw Zhou Qing coming back with the six spirit puppets and the ordinary true blood puppet.

"Everyone, please go back and gather your disciples."

This is actually Mirror Me, which was taken back by Zhou Qing on the Tianxing Shenzhou and then reflected again, with its status refreshed. Then it was sent to monitor Nakesi and the others.

If anyone wants to escape during the chaos, the Six Spirit Puppets will teach them a lesson.

Zhou Qing himself personally escorted the Dragon Realm Mountain God and flew towards Xuandu Temple.

The speed of the Tianxing Shenzhou exploded to the limit that Zhou Qing could drive, and without any pause, it rushed straight to Xuanfa Mountain.

After returning to Xuandu Temple, Zhou Qing went straight to the Zhenchuan Palace.

"Master Qian!"

"Hmm? Zhou Qing?"

Qian Lao asked in confusion: "Why did you come back?"

"I have solved the problem of Longjing Mountain."

Zhou Qing replied: "I also brought back a living person. I came to report to the sect and judge whether the mission was completed."

Elder Qian glanced at the Dragon Realm Mountain God who was following behind him and seemed to know who this person was.

"Dragon Realm Mountain God?"

"Yes, that's the god."

Elder Qian had never seen the Dragon Realm Mountain God, but he knew that there was such a god where Zhou Qing went. Now that Zhou Qing had tied a god back, the answer was obvious.

"The problem with Longjing Mountain is related to the God of Longjing Mountain?"

"Not only that, the Yuanfa of the Ke Temple and the Taoist Hanfeng of the Shuiyuan Taoist Temple were all involved. The former's soul was captured by me, and the latter is already dead."

"Master Qian, have I successfully completed this mission?"

Elder Qian shook his head, and Zhou Qing felt a tightness in his heart.

Huh? Did I find the wrong target? The problem of Longjing Mountain mentioned by Xuandu Temple has nothing to do with the real demon?

"I don't know if you have completed the mission. This is a mission assigned by Deputy Abbot Zhuge. Please tell me your mission experience in detail and I will ask for the deputy abbot's instructions."

“…”

Zhou Qing was speechless.

I doubt whether your information communication is timely.

Zhou Qing related his experience in detail, and Qian Lao reported it to Zhuge Tongda.

What Zhou Qing didn't know was that Zhuge Tongda also shook his head when he saw this information.

I don’t know either.

Ask the Sword Master.
