The Martial Saint Pavilion, as the name suggests, is composed of a group of practitioners who spontaneously gathered under the Martial Saint out of reverence for him.
Another meaning is that martial arts is sacred.
There are many people in the Martial Saint Pavilion who started out as ordinary people learning martial arts and eventually became Taoists through martial arts. Mu Zhao himself is a representative among them and also their spiritual leader.
Members of the Martial Saint Pavilion are extremely fanatical in their worship of Mu Zhao and obey his orders without hesitation.
But because they each have different identities, the Martial Saint Pavilion also has great influence among practitioners.
Once a bounty is placed on your head by the Martial Saint Pavilion, you will basically become an enemy of the entire cultivation world.
The Martial Saint was really angry.
Not only do they want him to die, but they also want him to have no place to stand!
The Martial Saint has spoken the truth. Once the word "evil cultivator" is defined, there is no way back.
Wei Yan's eyelids twitched, and he had already sentenced Chen Kuang to death in his heart.
This person is so bold that he dares to call himself a Buddhist to deceive people. He really doesn't know his place. Why would he kill Li Hongling?
Everyone present knew that, given Li Hongling's personality, she must have offended the other party first, which led to her death.
He had to kill people on the way to escape. What a determination he had! He must have offended death.
But Mu Zhao didn't care.
His way is "domineering".
He wants to protect his disciple and preserve her reputation after her death, so he won't care about right or wrong, cause and effect, and will simply label you an "evil cultivator."
For an evil cultivator, naturally, whatever he does or says is wrong.
There is no need for a reason to kill evil cultivators.
Wei Yan's eyes flashed, and he bowed solemnly and said:
"This person must have been a prisoner of the Liang State. I will immediately investigate his identity and hand him over to the members of the Martial Saint Pavilion."
Mu Zhao glanced at him and nodded:
"Di Wu should be in Fengyu Tower in Jishao County. You can leave him to him."
Wei Yan nodded quickly.
Mu Zhao waved his hand again, and a soft glow of light collected Li Hongling's body, piecing it together into its complete appearance when she was alive.
This strand of soul was indeed extremely weak. Just with this action, it immediately became much more transparent and seemed to be about to collapse.
The Martial Saint turned around and merged into the rosy glow, disappearing with the corpse.
Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and looking at the messy scene in the morning light, he felt a little desolate and tired.
All dead...
But he was left with such a mess to clean up alone.
"Elder Wei."
A cold female voice suddenly sounded.
Wei Yan's heart skipped a beat and he turned around to see Shen Xingzhu, whom he hadn't seen all night.
He had once thought this disciple of the Xuanshen Dao Sect was extremely troublesome, but now he actually felt a sense of familiarity...
"Daozi."
Wei Yan didn't dare to address him as "fellow Daoist" as frivolously as Wei Su did. He bowed and said with a wry smile, "The battle here is over, but is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Shen Xingzhu nodded, his eyes solemn.
"I have notified the elders within the sect to come. From now on, the Liang Kingdom's Imperial City will be temporarily taken over by my Xuanshen Dao Sect. Elder Wei, please lead the remaining members of the Sanjie Sect to leave first."
Wei Yan's expression suddenly changed, and he stared at her: "Daozi, what do you mean by this?!"
"You, the Xuanshen Dao Sect, have claimed to be neutral. Now that the war is over, are you going to interfere? There is no such thing in the world!"
Shen Xingzhu shook his head and said lightly:
"Elder Wei has misunderstood. I have no intention of interfering in Zhou Liang's affairs."
"When I say take over, I don't mean the ownership of the imperial power, but simply... this palace."
Wei Yan still didn't understand and frowned, "What's so good about this palace... taking over?"
Shen Xingzhu suddenly drew out his sword.
Wei Yan's pupils constricted, and before he could react, he saw her split the entire ruins of the imperial city with one sword.
"Boom..."
The imperial city collapsed completely.
Below, an extremely evil and terrifying aura spread.
Wei Yan looked closely and saw that in the crack below his feet, beneath the imperial city, there was a huge, indescribable, twisted and distorted monster, twisting and curling within it, with a huge pupil looming...
Wei Yan's back was covered in cold sweat, his eyes wide open, he said in horror:
"What...what is this?! Michiko, what did you release?!"
"Elder Wei, there is no need to be afraid."
"This demon has no heart."
Shen Xingzhu said softly, "This is the... body of an ancient great demon."
Wei Yan was stunned: "Shell?"
Shen Xingzhu put away his sword and sighed, "Yeah, I probably didn't expect that..."
"Beneath this imperial city, sealed is nothing but the body of an ancient great demon. It only has aura and power, but in reality, it has no consciousness at all."
Wei Yan calmed down and said in a daze, "Then, where did its consciousness go?"
"perhaps……"
She paused, looked towards the distant woods, and said quietly, "He must have escaped."
Shen Xingzhu narrowed his eyes: "Perhaps, from the very beginning, this national barrier was not intended to prevent foreign invasion, but to prevent someone from escaping."
Wei Yan didn't understand. He just felt a splitting headache and quickly shifted his gaze away from the giant monster's body.
Shen Xingzhu seemed to murmur again, "Elder Wei, do you know when Madam Liang became Madam Liang? She doesn't seem to be the daughter of a noble family, nor is she favored by Su Yu, yet she is able to sit firmly in the position of Madam Liang."
"What?"
Wei Yan covered his head and felt dizzy. When he touched his nose, he found that he was bleeding from all seven orifices.
He was shocked.
The power of this great demon is so terrifying that it is hard to even look at its empty shell.
