Chapter 488: Pure Yang Spear (Additional chapter for the leader Long Zhan Yuye~)
"Record, on the seventh day of the fourth month of Xuanyang's 7257th year, Wan Lihui and Zhongxie killed Yuan Jingming in the camp."
Gao Xian dictated while the two recorders beside him wrote it down with pens. The two of them recorded at the same time in order to keep the records as fair as possible.
The Taoist soldier who was specifically responsible for dealing with corpses came over and collected Yuan Jingming's remains in a storage bag. All the magical instruments and other items on his body were counted and sealed.
Wan Lihui watched blankly, his eyes blank and a bit dazed. Although he was possessed by the devil, he clearly remembered the process of killing Yuan Jingming.
Of course, in his memory, that was not Yuan Jingming, but a man in red who suddenly appeared.
After a while, Wan Lihui finally reacted. He looked at Gao Xian with a complicated expression. As the chief commander and the leader of the central army, Gao Xian had a say in how to record Yuan Jingming's death.
Gao Xian wanted to say that he was possessed by evil spirits and killed Yuan Jingming in the camp. The two words "possessed by evil spirits" are crucial. Without these two words, it means that he and Yuan Jingming were fighting each other.
The sect pursued the matter and he was unable to explain himself.
Others thought he was possessed by evil spirits, but they could not provide any evidence. Gao Xian could completely shirk responsibility.
Adding the word "possessed by evil spirits", this matter went beyond the scope of personal grudges. He was possessed by evil spirits and killed people, so he had to bear the primary responsibility. As the leader of the central army, Gao Xian was also responsible for failing to control his subordinates.
When this news gets back, it's inevitable that someone will scold Gao Xian for being incompetent.
Wan Lihui knew that Gao Xian disliked him a little, but Gao Xian was able to help him take responsibility at the critical moment, which was really beyond his expectations.
Zhou Qingyun and Yue Xiang standing beside them also understood the situation, and both had complicated expressions.
During the more than one year in the 72 caves of Shuize, they were all tortured by Gao Xian. It can be said that Gao Xian used them to death without any courtesy.
If anyone failed to complete the task, the punishment would be announced in front of the entire army and their faces would be beaten until they were swollen.
The relationship between the six generals and Gao Xian is very bad. This is also because the two sides have different positions. Gao Xian is tough and does not give them a chance to ease the relationship.
Just like Zhou Qingyun wanted to rely on Gao Xian several times, but never dared to do so.
The main reason is that Gao Xian has no foundation, and most importantly, he is an outsider! He is very proud and successful now, but I don’t know how long it will last.
On the other hand, Gao Xian and Yue Shenxiu have a close relationship. If she gets close to him, she might annoy Yue Shenxiu, which would be more trouble than gain.
After this incident, Zhou Qingyun's opinion of Gao Xian changed greatly. This man was tough, but he also dared to take responsibility. This was commendable! However, a god general died and was killed by his own people. This was a big deal. Many people disliked Gao Xian, but Gao Xian had achieved remarkable results in the past year and had cleared a large number of monsters.
Even if others want to find fault, they can't find any excuses. This incident will definitely become a reason for many people to attack Gao Xian. Gao Xian's decision to take responsibility this time is not a smart decision.
Gao Xian didn't care about the opinions of the generals. He didn't like this group of people, but he would not take this opportunity to deal with Wan Lihui.
He doesn't be a bad person or do bad things. This is his principle.
Gao Xian said to Wan Lihui, Zhou Qingyun, and Yue Xiang: "The evil spirit must be nearby, and we cannot let it continue to do evil. Spread out in all directions, each responsible for one area, and search carefully, including the underground caves..."
The island was not big, only a hundred miles in radius, and Gao Xian's divine sense could easily cover the island. But the evil spirit came from a strange place, and he used his divine sense to search many times, but could not find the source of the evil spirit.
There is no other way, we can only use a large number of people to search. Such a powerful evil spirit must have various special features.
A large number of Taoist soldiers were sent out and soon there were results.
In the northeast corner of the military camp, weeds are lush and full of unknown wild flowers. It is April, the season of spring and blooming flowers, and the corners of the camp are always full of weeds and wild flowers.
Among the colorful flowers and plants, there are a few red weeds, bright as blood, but they are not conspicuous among the large flowers and plants.
Qingqing had sharp eyes. She was the first one to notice that there was something wrong with these red weeds. They looked exactly the same color as the clothes of the man in red.
Gao Xian, Qiniang and the three divine generals arrived. Yue Xiang and Zhou Qingyun were confused because they had never seen a man in red, nor did they see anything special about the red weeds.
Qinnan nodded. She felt that the color of the grass was exactly the same as that of the man in red. It couldn't be a coincidence.
Wan Lihui hesitated for a moment and nodded. The color red can be divided into thousands of colors. The bright red color of these weeds is very special. From his Jindan-level consciousness, it is the color of the red clothes on the man, exactly the same.
"Call someone over and dig."
Gao Xian looked down with his magic mirror and found that the roots of several red weeds went deep into the ground and he couldn't see the end.
Soon, a team of Taoist soldiers skilled in earth magic were assembled to use special tools to dig. After half a day, a circular pit with a diameter of 20 feet was dug out.
The deep pit was filled with thousands of red roots, tangled together like the roots of a tree. The deeper you dug, the more red roots you found.
Everyone had a solemn look on their faces; such a monster was terrifying to look at.
"Everyone, get out."
Gao Xian suddenly realized something was wrong and hurriedly ordered all the Taoist soldiers to retreat.
Thousands of red roots woven together twitched and trembled, like thousands of long red snakes. At the same time, the faint red gas emitted also made a group of Taoist soldiers deep in the pit faint at the same time.
Gao Xian directly activated the Zixiao Tianshu Demon-Subduing Golden Whip and controlled the purple gold thunder to blast it down.
In an instant, thunder roared and countless red roots in the pit burned and shattered in the thunder, turning into countless flying ashes all over the sky.
This attack destroyed all the roots within a few hundred feet, but it did not really hurt the root of the evil spirit. Gao Xian observed with the flower-viewing mirror that the blood-red roots extended at least dozens of miles underground.
The destruction of hundreds of feet of roots is equivalent to pulling out a long hair from the opponent's head, that's all.
Gao Xian originally wanted to dig the other party out, but seeing this, this idea was a bit unrealistic. He simply controlled the Dongji Qinghua Shenhong Sword and went straight down towards the thousands of roots.
The Dongji Qinghua Shenhong Sword was good at breaking spells and barriers. These roots looked scary, but they were vulnerable to the sword. The roots emitted poisonous gas, but they could not break the Xuanhuang Divine Light that protected Gao Xian.
A streak of green sword light went up along the river-like foundation, and the sword light was unstoppable wherever it passed. It flew along the root system for about a hundred miles before reaching a huge underground cave.
The cave is bottomless, and countless red roots fill it up like long snakes.
Even Gao Xian, who was at such a high level of cultivation, felt his heart numbed when he saw these slender snake-like roots. They posed no threat to him, it was just that there were too many of them.
Spreading from this cave in all directions, the roots may have spread over an area of thousands of miles.
The key point is that he had been sitting in the center of the army and did not even notice that such a terrible and evil monster had appeared under his feet.
Gao Xian originally wanted to use the Purple Sky Heavenly Pivot Demon Subduing Golden Whip, but now he felt that the Demon Subduing Golden Whip might not be able to kill this thing. The Dongji Qinghua Shenhong Sword and other magic swords would not be very effective against such a terrifying evil spirit.
Fortunately, he had the Tiansha Huaxue Divine Sword in his hand. This artifact was extremely vicious and was specifically designed to destroy the soul.
Although the man in red was evil, his strength lay in his strange soul. As long as he was a living being, he would not be able to escape the Heavenly Evil Blood-Transforming Divine Sword.
The underground cave is a hundred miles away from the sky. The layers of roots and the natural foul air underground will severely hinder the divine consciousness.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Gao Xian had nothing to worry about here. He drew out the Tiansha Huaxue Divine Sword and slashed it deep into the layers of red roots.
As the blood-red knife flashed, the broken red roots quickly withered and turned black. A sharp howl came from deep in the cave, and a man in red emerged. His originally charming face was full of ferocious anger, and he pounced on Gao Xian with his long claws raised.
The power of the evil spirit was so strong and strange that even a Yuanying Zhenjun would have difficulty dealing with it. But he met Gao Xian who held the Tiansha Huaxue Divine Sword.
Gao Xian swung the long sword in his hand, and the man in blood-stained clothes, who looked like a phantom, was cut into pieces by the sword, shattering into strands of bloody light.
The Tiansha Blood-Transforming Divine Sword turned, absorbing all the wisps of blood.
In order to break the evil and strange spirit, Gao Xian frantically swung his sword in the underground cave and slashed around. In a moment, all the underground roots were cut off. All the red roots withered and turned black, completely losing their vitality.
In the center of the withered root system, Gao Xian found a walnut-sized red bead. The bead had a smooth surface but contained a mysterious power.
Gao Xian could not help but feel happy, and condensed a crystal core, proving that the red-clothed evil spirit was completely dead. Still not reassured, he took out a fourth-level pure yang talisman, and the pure yang golden light flowed, illuminating the cave brightly.
Within the range of the golden light, there was no trace of evil spirit.
Gao Xian knew that the evil spirit had been completely eliminated, so he urged the Xuanhuang Divine Light to return to the ground.
It was almost midnight, and dozens of bright stones were lit around the pit, illuminating the surrounding area.
Three thousand Taoist soldiers formed a battle formation on the side, and the two divine generals Zhou Qingyun and Yue Xiang were also fully armed and ready for battle.
Qinniang was wearing the Tianji Golden Dragon Armor, and Qingqing stood behind her with a worried look on his face.
Seeing Gao Xian appear, everyone felt relieved. If Gao Xian was also trapped inside, they should consider fleeing immediately...
Gao Xian said to Zhou Qingyun and the others, "The evil spirit has been dealt with, you can go down and rest. Wan Lihui will hand over the Rooster God General Scroll, and Yue Xiang will take it back to the sect. The matter of Yuan Jingming will be handed over to the Palace Master for handling..."
Yuan Jingming was a divine general, and he had a huge family behind him. Being killed by Wan Lihui was no small matter. Gao Xian had no way to deal with him, so he could only hand him over to Mingyang Jianjun.
Fortunately, there is a teleportation array, so it is convenient to come and go.
Wan Lihui's face looked a little ugly, but he still handed over the You Shenjiang Talisman obediently and followed Yue Xiang and others back to the sect.
Gao Xian made some more arrangements before returning to the tent. He told Qi Niang and Qing Qing to guard the door while he opened the magic circle and entered the underground quiet room.
He had a feeling that the red orb left by the evil spirit would be of great use to him.
Gao Xian sat in the quiet room with his eyes closed, using his spiritual consciousness to activate various secret techniques to resonate with the gem in his hand. When he activated the Zhengyang Spear, the red gem suddenly shone with a bright light.
After a long time, Gao Xian opened his eyes and a happy smile appeared on his face.
The Zhengyang Spear was upgraded from the Zhenyang Spear, but the level of this secret technique was too low, and Gao Xian never used it again after he achieved the Golden Core. It was left there, occupying a spell quota in the Fengyue Treasure Mirror for nothing.
This time, he absorbed the evil spirit core and upgraded the Zhengyang Spear to the Chunyang Spear.
The annotations on the Fengyue Treasure Mirror have also changed.
Pure Yang Spear: Condensing pure Yang light to refine the soul inside and destroy the evil spirit outside. (8000/10000000 entry)
With this pure Yang secret technique, there is one more way to deal with evil spirits. In fact, the secret techniques such as the Dragon Elephant Vajra Pestle and the Thunderbolt Lightning Sutra have some power to subdue demons, but they are not very effective against evil spirits.
The Pure Yang Spear is different. This secret method condenses pure Yang light, which can restrain evil spirits and monsters, and can also temper the soul. It can be said to be a top-level secret technique.
It took ten million people a while to get started, which shows that this method is very advanced and can be of great use.
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of miles away, a group of Yuanying Zhenjun were discussing Gao Xian.
Bai Yang Zhenjun, the master of Tian Xing Palace, said loudly: "Gao Xian has great magical powers, but he watched Yuan Jingming being killed. I think he did it on purpose. He must be held accountable and severely punished..."
