Chapter 164 Joining forces
Leaving behind the Lianshan Mountain that had not stopped collapsing, Luo Xuanyi knew that she had the same position as Yang Zongchun, but after the test by Master Ding Jing, she had already clearly understood her own strength.
After hearing what Ding Jing Zhenren said, Luo Xuanyi confirmed that Ding Jing Zhenren was the strongest cultivator sent by the six major alliances - after all, they didn't know that Ding Jing Zhenren's heart of Taoism was shattered and only one tenth of his strength remained.
In short, until word reaches the six major alliances about Ding Jing Zhenren's defeat at the hands of Luo Xuanyi, they will not send any more cultivators of higher realms than Ding Jing Zhenren to pursue and kill him. Luo Xuanyi can then relax and unburden herself, even if she's discovered.
So Luo Xuanyi didn't bother to hide anything anymore. She simply found a mountain far away from people according to the map in her hand and began to question Ding Jing Zhenren. She thought she would have to argue with Ding Jing Zhenren for a long time, but she didn't expect Ding Jing Zhenren to be so cooperative.
His cooperative attitude even made Luo Xuanyi suspect that Master Ding Jing was an undercover agent sent by Zang Yaozong.
"...So, you came to Lianshan after receiving an urgent message from Yang Zongchun, but you didn't choose to destroy the Ghost Market. Instead, you waited to capture me because I am from the Demon Sect, and you want to know if the Demon Sect really has the skills of a strange cultivator."
Luo Xuanyi easily unravelled Master Ding Jing's movements and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked like she could crush Master Ding Jing, but she couldn't actually harm him. If Master Ding Jing refused to cooperate, Luo Xuanyi wouldn't be able to force a confession through torture.
I still don't have enough understanding of the Tao. It's a pity that the cultivators Luo Xuanyi got didn't have formation cultivation skills, otherwise I would have to practice hard.
However, Luo Xuanyi stared at Master Ding Jing. It seemed that this problem could be solved by Master Ding Jing?
After understanding Ding Jing Zhenren's thoughts, communicating with him was not difficult. Ding Jing Zhenren could not accept the gap in his own strength, so Luo Xuanyi planned to use the practice method as a starting point to talk to him.
"You understand..."
"No need for the honorific. You are stronger than me." Master Ding Jing interrupted decisively.
His attitude gave Luo Xuanyi a premonition that things were going to get difficult. Would this old-fashioned personality lead him to join forces with what he considered to be a demonic cultivator from the Zang Yao Sect?
Luo Xuanyi observed him and adjusted her strategy based on his attitude.
"Then I'll be frank. The Zang Yao Sect doesn't have the strange cultivation technique you want. They are just trying to make you play a little more valuable role before you die. It doesn't cost anything anyway. Ha, I know this very well." Luo Xuanyi spoke of the Zang Yao Sect in a tone she would never use normally. She felt a little uncomfortable after she finished speaking, but she kept a straight face and didn't show it.
Upon hearing this, Master Ding Jing subconsciously stiffened his body. He stared intently at Luo Xuanyi, "How can I believe what you say is true?"
"When we touched just now, you should have felt it, right? Your spiritual energy was transformed into death energy, and my death energy could plunder each other. It was as smooth as an ordinary cultivator absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
"When you fought against me, you never used your own death energy at all. It's simple, you didn't know how to call upon it, so you just relied on your understanding of the way of the sword and fought purely with sword intent." Luo Xuanyi couldn't help but sigh when she said this. From this, we can see how powerful Master Ding Jing really is.
This was also something that Ding Jing Zhenren couldn't accept. Otherwise, according to the temper of a sword cultivator who practiced the Six Meridians Sword Controlling Technique and held the righteous path, it would be impossible for him to have a calm conversation with Luo Xuanyi.
"As for me, I can use death energy with ease. You know, I have no knowledge of the way of the sword, but I was able to cut through your sword intent by forcing death energy into my sword. It's obvious that I have some cultivation techniques to rely on."
Ding Jing Zhenren fell silent, unable to refute Luo Xuanyi. Seeing him like this, Luo Xuanyi took advantage of the victory and pursued him.
"The Yu Clan ruins discovered by Zang Yaozong were... empty. I sneaked in and took away most of the techniques, so they wouldn't find any other trickery techniques besides the one I gave you."
Luo Xuanyi could not tell Zang Yaozong that the Yu clan ruins obtained by him were a fake map she left behind to trap him, otherwise Ding Jing Zhenren's logic would be applied to her, and he would think that Luo Xuanyi had indirectly harmed him, and thus resist Luo Xuanyi's words.
To put it bluntly, Luo Xuanyi's intentions were similar to Zang Yaozong's: to use Ding Jing Zhenren to achieve some of his own goals. To that end, telling a few lies didn't matter.
"As for me, I have a large number of strange cultivation techniques. Of course, the Zang Yao Sect discovered my actions and sent people to steal the techniques. To prevent them from being snatched away, I placed them in an ancient magical instrument."
"This magical instrument requires the sacrifice of a large number of Formation Dao monks' flesh and blood to open. I originally wanted to open the magical instrument and take out the skills to continue practicing after arriving in Xuanchengzhou, but I didn't expect that the hermit monk Yifeng would be so secluded."
Luo Xuanyi slowly approached Master Ding Jing, patted his right shoulder, turned around and invited him, "Would you like to make a deal?"
Her smile was very bright, and it seemed that what she was talking about was not something that concerned human life.
"You and I both want to obtain the skills within the magical weapon, right? I have the location information left by the cultivator named Yang Zongchun on me. All you have to do is go back and find an excuse to have the formation cultivators track me down, and I'll kill them..."
Ding Jing Zhenren suddenly shook off Luo Xuanyi's hand and took two steps back. "Impossible! I would never betray a fellow Taoist!"
"So, after you were framed by your own disciple, you did nothing?" Luo Xuanyi said bluntly.
Zhenren Dingjing seemed to remember something and his eyes wavered.
"Also, you can think positively. In order to meet a formation cultivator, I won't erase my location. Maybe there will be a cultivator who can eliminate me in return? After all, you know that I only have a body of death energy, but no Tao to support it."
Luo Xuanyi took a step forward. She understood that Master Ding Jing must be struggling internally, because in his eyes, the cultivators of the six major alliances were all righteous men who enforced the Way of Heaven. Next, she would break down his psychological barriers.
"Besides, have you ever thought about how your disciples managed to infiltrate the six major alliances?"
"! You mean... No, what do you want to say, you demon?" Ding Jing Zhenren really held his breath. He denied it with his mouth, but he couldn't help but question it in his heart.
Yes, the monks of the six alliances and Zang Yao Sect have completely different origins, cultivation methods and bodies. The children born in Zang Yao Sect are all specially adjusted. Without special methods, they will definitely not be able to pass the sect's eyes.
But the person was delivered to the hands of Master Ding Jing. Moreover, soon after, a sinister cultivator from the Paper Arts Sect, claiming to represent Zang Yaozong, came forward to negotiate with him. Disguised as talisman repair shops, Paper Arts Sect stores spread throughout Xuancheng Prefecture, and the Ghost Market had been hidden in the Vegetable Market for centuries. How could the righteous path have been completely unaware?
Among the sword cultivators, he was a recluse. Outside of the Six Great Sects, few knew his exact condition, which was why he had been able to conceal his condition for so long. His disciples were all chosen by the head of the Exorcist Sword Sect, and the only one he personally selected was Shang Qian, the winner of the sword tournament.
Thinking about it this way, the undercover agent was personally selected by the Sect Master and sent to him at a time when his cultivation was progressing smoothly. He carefully cultivated him, but unknowingly his cultivation suddenly began to stagnate, which is why he fell into the trap.
The more Master Ding Jing thought about it, the colder his mood became. The letters Luo Xuanyi took out added fuel to the fire.
"This is, senior brother? No, how could it be, they are actually connected with those evil practitioners of the Paper Art Sect..." Master Ding Jing's gaze fell on the three words "Cankunzi".
What is the righteous path that he has always believed in?
His already broken heart of Taoism fell irretrievably downwards.
Luo Xuanyi saw this and took back the letter with satisfaction. She knew that Master Ding Jing would never feel the moral burden to refuse her again.
Although it was a sophistry, the evil of some people does not represent the evil of all people. However, Luo Xuanyi learned one thing from Fu Jizhen's gratitude to Wang Taiyuan: after experiencing pain, when people face happiness within reach, they will never think twice and will only reach out and seize the opportunity.
Without the moral burden, it is an extremely simple choice whether to sacrifice Yi Fengyin, the "Daoist Fellow" who is not sure whether he is an enemy or a friend, in exchange for his own cultivation, or to let himself be cast from the sky into dust.
First update~ Sister Yi's rhetoric skills are getting stronger and stronger~ She is also a mature cultivator. Although she still has some little girl's thoughts in her heart, she is already full of aggression~
Ding Jing Zhenren, miserable, very miserable, and his death was also miserable later, but I felt very happy writing it hh
Sister Yi rarely encounters equal enemies in the six major alliances, but the three major churches give her a headache, but that will be a matter for later.
