"Fellow Daoist, please show mercy."
As the voice sounded, an invisible force suddenly appeared in front of Lu Qing and protected the two disciples of the Wanshou Sect.
The two people who should have been crushed to death by Lu Qing's thought miraculously survived after spitting out a mouthful of blood.
As the words fell, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the powerful human spirits.
He was an old man who was not very tall and was even a little thin.
He had gray hair, a heavy black sword on his back, and exuded a cold aura.
"Elder Xing!"
When the powerful human spirits saw this figure, they all shouted in surprise.
At the same time, I felt greatly relaxed.
The aura Lu Qing emitted just now was so terrifying that even they felt their hearts palpitating.
In addition, the speed displayed by Lu Qing also made them extremely wary.
Even a soul at the peak of the third tribulation like the middle-aged man in a purple robe and a tall hat did not dare to act rashly.
Now that Elder Xing has arrived, they feel like they have a backbone.
You must know that Elder Xing is a powerful soul master at the peak of the fourth calamity, and is only one step away from the fifth calamity realm.
Moreover, he is a pure sword cultivator with amazing combat power, almost comparable to a true Five Tribulations Great One.
Among the many elders of the Holy Alliance, his strength can be said to be top-notch, second only to the elders who have already comprehended the power of space.
"Haha, Xing Jian, I didn't expect you to get there first."
Just a few breaths after Elder Xing appeared, a heroic voice rang out.
Another figure suddenly appeared and came before a group of powerful demon spirits.
The figure had a human body and a monkey face, a burly figure, golden-black hair, thick hands that reached his knees, and he exuded an extremely domineering aura.
"Meet the King Zhenwu!"
When the powerful spirits of the demon clan saw the ape appear, they were all overjoyed and hurried forward to pay their respects.
"King Zhenwu, you are here too."
Elder Xing nodded slightly when he saw the monkey appear, but when he saw the black and gold hair on the other side, his stern face couldn't help but move.
"You made a breakthrough?"
"Haha, it was just luck."
King Zhenwu grinned, speaking modestly but with a look of pride on his face.
In previous confrontations, at the same level, he was always slightly suppressed by the sword of punishment.
Now he has taken a crucial step. Although he has not yet made a complete breakthrough, he is already ahead of Xing Jian.
"I didn't expect you to be one step ahead. Once your fur has completely transformed, you will be able to truly enter the Five Tribulations, right?"
"Hehe, let's have another competition then." King Zhenwu smiled.
This time, Elder Xing ignored him.
In the past, he had been able to slightly suppress the ape with his sword skills, but he only had a slight advantage.
This ape is gifted and has ancient blood in his body. Once he enters the fifth calamity, the blood in his body will be fully activated, and his strength will inevitably increase dramatically.
If I continue to compete with him, I will only be asking for trouble.
The two powerful men were chatting as if no one was around, but the powerful humans and demons next to them didn't dare to interrupt.
Even Lu Qing didn't seem to want to interrupt them, and seemed to be waiting for them to finish their conversation.
Suddenly, King Zhenwu's gaze fell on Lu Qing, and then he looked at the white dragon behind him, as well as Xiao Li and Wuxing on his shoulders.
Then he said, "It seems that you were also called here by your own men because of the strange heavenly tribulation earlier. Judging from the situation, could this kid be the one who caused the heavenly tribulation?"
"I just arrived too, and I don't quite understand the situation." Elder Xing shook his head.
"Elder Xing..."
At this time, the middle-aged man in the purple robe and tall hat seemed to be reporting something to Elder Xing through telepathy.
As Elder Xing listened, his expression suddenly changed slightly and he looked at Xiao Li on Lu Qing's shoulder.
Lu Qing could naturally feel these changes, but he didn't care too much.
While the two were talking, he had already found out the other party's information.
After breaking through the Soul Realm, Lu Qing's supernatural powers seemed to have been further enhanced.
It is faster to search for information.
Even if it was a powerful soul that had experienced four or five tribulations, he would be able to find out its information in just a few breaths.
Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Lu Qing turned around and looked at Elder Xing.
He asked calmly, "I wonder what your intention is in stopping me from punishing these two villains?"
"Why do you want to kill these two people, fellow Daoist?" asked Elder Xing.
"These two villains took advantage of my tribulation to attack my spirit pet and abduct it. Senior, do you think they should die?"
Hearing this, the two disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect became very anxious and shouted again.
"Elder, we are wronged. We simply thought these spirit beasts were native to the Myriad Demons Mountains and had no idea they were this senior's spirit pets. Otherwise, even if we had ten times the courage, we would not dare to offend them."
"We are disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect. The Sect Master is also one of the Saint Alliance elders. Elder, please help us!"
Lu Qing did not stop the two from shouting, but just looked at Elder Xing quietly, wanting to see what he would do.
Elder Xing's expression did not fluctuate at all despite the shouting of the two disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect.
He simply said to Lu Qing, "Fellow Daoist, you've also heard that these two disciples are from the Myriad Beast Sect. The Myriad Beast Sect is one of our Holy Alliance's allies, and its disciples are under the control of the Holy Alliance.
Since they have committed a crime, if you trust me, why not hand them over to our Holy Alliance for punishment? We will certainly punish them severely."
"Leave it to you to deal with?" Lu Qing raised an eyebrow. "Will you execute them?"
"You're joking, fellow Daoist." Elder Xing shook his head. "Although they were wrong and offended you, their crimes don't deserve the death penalty. However, I will make them compensate you."
"Compensation?" Lu Qing smiled and ruffled Xiao Li's fur, "Senior, do you know that this spirit pet of mine is a true family member to me?
These two people are masters in the late Jindan realm. They just joined forces to activate their magic weapons, and the attack they launched was quite powerful.
If I hadn't come down in time, my pets would have been seriously injured if not dead.
Senior, if your family was attacked for no reason and nearly died, what would you do?
Elder Xing was silent. He could hear the murderous intent in Lu Qing's tone.
The other party was determined not to spare the two disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
However, after a moment of silence, he finally said, "If it were me, I would still choose to hand it over to the Holy Alliance for disposal."
"It seems that I, Senior, and I can no longer reach an agreement." Lu Qing shook his head and said, "I have always been a man of gratitude, repaying kindness and revenge. Since these two have offended me, there is no reason for me to punish them through others."
After saying that, Lu Qing's mind moved, and the suppressive force on the two disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect suddenly increased.
Elder Xing felt this, his expression changed slightly, his soul fluctuated, and the power bestowed on the two disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect also rapidly increased.
However, he was shocked to find that the increase in his strength was not as great as that of the other party.
Bang!
In just a moment, with a loud bang, Elder Xing's power was broken.
Immediately afterwards, in the face of the extremely powerful suppressive force that Lu Qing mobilized, the two disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were unable to even utter a scream before they were shaken into two balls of bloody mist and died on the spot.
"Daoyou, you!"
Looking at the two balls of blood mist, Elder Xing was both shocked and angry.
What shocked him was naturally that he didn't expect that the suppressive force exerted by Lu Qing would be so strong that it could even break his Taoist magic.
What made him angry was that he was an elder of the Holy Alliance's Punishment Hall and a dignified fourth-level calamity peak soul.
This person didn't give him any face at all and killed the person he wanted to protect in front of him.
"Senior, anyone who offended me has been punished by me personally. Do you have anything else to say?" Lu Qing said calmly.
Elder Xing's face darkened and he stared at Lu Qing closely, murderous intent already surging in his heart.
Lu Qing felt the murderous intent, but he laughed.
"It seems that you are not as selfless as you say. I just punished two evildoers, but you harbor murderous intentions. Could it be that I have already committed a capital crime under the Holy Alliance?
Or are you finally going to stop pretending?"
"What did you say?" Elder Xing paused.
The middle-aged man in purple robe and high crown and other people in the Yuanshen realm behind him also changed their expressions slightly.
"Haha, do you think I'm such a fool that I didn't notice you were communicating with each other just now? You must have recognized my identity through Xiao Li, right?"
"So, you are indeed the evil demon who killed many powerful souls and committed a serious crime at Tianshu Divine Mountain?"
Elder Xing's expression turned completely cold.
"Evil demon?" Lu Qing chewed on the word, then smiled and said, "Yes, I am the 'evil demon' that was wanted by your Holy Alliance back then."
When these words were spoken, all the powerful human spirits were shocked.
Although through various clues, they have confirmed that the mysterious young man in front of them is most likely the "evil demon" who committed the heinous crime in Tianshu Mountain.
But when they heard Lu Qing really admitted it, they couldn't help but be surprised.
They thought that the other party would at least make some excuses and deny it, but they didn't expect him to admit it so frankly.
At the same time, some of their doubts were also answered.
According to rumors, the "evil demon" who killed many powerful souls in Tianshu Mountain was actually at the Golden Core Realm.
When this matter was reported to the Holy Alliance, the vast majority of the elders and members did not believe it.
After all, it is too unbelievable that a Jindan can kill a Yuanshen, not to mention that a Jindan can kill several Yuanshen masters head-on with his own strength.
This kind of thing is as ridiculous as an ant suddenly transforming into the ability to kill a dragon.
Some elders even thought that those who survived the Yuanshen realm were exaggerating and deliberately exaggerating the abilities of the "evil demon" in order to cover up their own incompetence.
However, after multiple investigations, the Holy Alliance came to an extremely surprising conclusion.
That is what those in the Yuanshen realm said, and it is very likely to be true.
The true realm of that "evil demon" is very likely the Golden Core Realm!
It was for this reason that the Holy Alliance finally decided to issue a hunt down order for the "evil demon".
Firstly, the "evil demons" have huge potential and seem to be quite hostile to their human forces, which is a huge threat.
Secondly, there are people in the Holy Alliance who want to figure out why a Jindan realm cultivator possesses such powerful strength.
Now it seems that it is no wonder that the previous heavenly tribulation was so powerful. It was clearly a tribulation of the soul, but it was much more terrifying than the tribulation of the souls of senior souls like them.
If it's this person, then it does make sense.
After all, this "evil demon" was probably able to kill many powerful souls in a row when he was in the Jindan realm. His accumulated foundation must be unimaginably deep.
The calamity of the soul that needs to be overcome will be so terrifying beyond common sense, and it doesn’t seem so difficult to understand.
The powerful souls of the human race were extremely shocked.
The expressions of those demon clan members who were at the Soul Realm also changed.
They had all heard about what happened at the Tianshu Sacred Mountain of the human race back then, but they had never expected that the protagonist of that incident was actually the mysterious young man in front of them.
Those who were sharp-minded immediately set their sights on Xiao Li.
They thought of some rumors about what happened that year.
Legend has it that the "evil demon" was accompanied by a spiritual beast with ancient blood. Could it be the black civet cat standing on his shoulder?
"very good!"
Elder Xing said with a sullen face, "So it really was you, the evil demon. No wonder you were so cruel and ruthless just now.
You will not even let go of two juniors in the Jindan realm who have only slightly offended you, and you will kill them all.
That’s right, only a demon like you can do such an inhumane thing!
As the saying goes, you may search high and low for something, but you still can't find it. We in the Holy Alliance have been hunting for you for so many years, but we couldn't find any trace of you. I didn't expect that you were hiding in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains to practice in seclusion.
That's perfect! Today I will capture you and bring you back to the Holy Alliance for trial. I'll let you know that the mighty ones of our human race aren't so easy to kill!"
After saying that, Elder Xing drew out the dark iron sword from behind him and was about to step forward to capture Lu Qing.
"Wait a minute!"
However, just as Elder Xing was about to move, King Zhenwu suddenly appeared in front of him and stretched out his hand to stop him.
"King Zhenwu, what do you mean?"
Elder Xing's expression changed and he immediately started to ask questions.
At the same time, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Could it be that King Zhenwu saw that this evil demon was at odds with the human race and wanted to interfere?
"Xing Jian, you don't have to be angry."
King Zhenwu seemed to know what Elder Xing was thinking and immediately explained.
"You humans have a score to settle with this kid, but we demons also have something to ask him. Why don't you wait until I finish asking my questions before you take action?
Anyway, he's just a kid who just entered the Yuan Shen realm. Are you still worried that he can turn the tables in our hands?"
Elder Xing felt the aura of King Zhenwu and knew that even if he disagreed, the monkey would definitely try to stop him.
Thinking that the other party had already stepped halfway into the Five Tribulations Realm, he could only say coldly: "Then ask!"
King Zhenwu turned to look at Lu Qing and said, "Tell me, boy, what is the origin of the raccoon cat on your shoulder?" (End of this chapter)
