Since ancient times, good and evil have been opposed. Ji Xiaoxiao built the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) on the jade. --lwxs520-
Master Jingyun looked up and said confidently, "This, I might be able to help." Master Jingyun was a cultivator, and destroying the Bagua Formation was a trivial matter for him.
Ji Xiaoxiao floated in mid-air, her figure light and graceful, her pale face adding to her fragile beauty. She softly uttered an "oh," and made no further comment. She wasn't in a hurry; the malevolent aura was neither beneficial nor harmful to her, so why should she worry or be anxious?
Master Jingyun looked at Ji Xiaoxiao, "Benefactor Louyu."
"What is it?" Ji Xiaoxiao naturally replied.
"This humble Taoist priest and Master Huaikong can join forces to break the Bagua Formation, but to open the exit of the underground palace through the wall, we beg for your help, benefactor Louyu," Master Jingyun pleaded.
Hentian, in his pursuit of supreme power, has murdered countless innocent people—an act whose crime is unforgivable. For the sake of all living beings, he would gladly die a thousand deaths. However, knowing the secrets of the underground palace, if he does not quickly return to the Heavenly Dao Palace to inform his master and the sect leader, countless more people may perish because of Hentian.
"Ms. Lou Yu, I beg you," Daoist Jingyun knelt down.
Is it shameful for a righteous person to kneel before a blood-stained vengeful ghost?
Master Huai Kong clasped his hands together and earnestly requested Ji Xiaoxiao's help with generous gifts.
"Since you are so sincere, I will help you this time," Ji Xiaoxiao said loudly.
Master Jingyun and Master Huaikong thanked Ji Xiaoxiao, then stood up and attacked the white jade Bagua formation above them. With several loud bangs, the white jade Bagua formation shattered.
With the Bagua Formation broken, Ji Xiaoxiao could travel freely. After passing through the wall and groping around for a while, Ji Xiaoxiao activated the mechanism, and the Dragon-Slaying Spirit Stone slowly rose, revealing the deep exit once again.
Outside Liuyun Courtyard, the sun shone brightly, and the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed into their bodies through their limbs and bones. The two masters hummed comfortably.
On the other side, the servants who were ordered to guard Liuyun Courtyard saw Master Jingyun and his group and ran away as soon as they saw them.
The main hall of the Nie family.
"What?" Nie Zhen was so shocked that she almost fell to the ground.
Master Jingyun and Master Huaikong have emerged from the underground palace.
How could that be? The Dragon-Slaying Spirit Stone is specifically designed to target cultivators; once it falls, they are forever separated by life and death. Even with their profound cultivation, Daoist Jingyun and Master Huaikong could not possibly escape alive unless someone activated a mechanism to deliberately release them.
"Has anyone entered Liuyun Courtyard?" Nie Zhen grabbed the servant by the collar. The servant trembled and almost cried out, "No, no, sir. I dare not relax for a moment and have delayed your important business. I have been keeping a close eye on Liuyun Courtyard. Since you asked me to monitor Liuyun Courtyard, I have not seen anyone enter Liuyun Courtyard."
A coward like a mouse, Liang wouldn't dare to deceive his superiors or subordinates. Nie Zhen dismissed the servants, his face full of worry, his brow furrowed and eyes narrowed, pacing in small circles.
How Master Jingyun got out, and who released him, are all irrelevant now. What to do? What to do? Master Jingyun and Master Huaikong escaped from the underground palace, and they spread the news of the underground palace, meaning the entire Nie family is doomed.
Nie Zhen shuddered. "The Ancestor Hentian."
No, we can't let Master Jingyun and Master Huaikong step out of the Nie family compound.
"Guards!" Nie Zhen shouted, and a strange man in black appeared out of thin air. "By my order, activate the Drought Demon."
"Yes." The man in black accepted the order and left.
Nie Zhen sat down weakly, gripping the armrests of the chair tightly.
...
Liuyun Courtyard.
"Master Huaikong, I shall take my leave now." Daoist Jingyun bowed to Master Huaikong, who returned the bow with his hands clasped together. "May Daoist Jingyun's wishes come true."
"Thank you, Master."
Master Jingyun turned around. "Ms. Louyu, before..."
"Goodbye." Ji Xiaoxiao didn't want to waste any more words with him and waved for him to get lost.
Master Jingyun sighed, took out his peach wood sword, and prepared to fly on it.
"Master Jingyun, be careful," Master Huaikong said.
An ordinary-looking fist descended from the sky, aimed directly at Daoist Jingyun. In the blink of an eye, Ji Xiaoxiao grabbed with her five fingers, causing Daoist Jingyun's body to shift slightly from its original position.
With a loud bang, the ground caved in inch by inch, forming a two-meter-deep crater. Master Jingyun fell into the crater, looking disheveled.
The thick smoke and dust obscured their vision, but they could vaguely make out a person standing in the pit.
"Who are you, you scoundrel? State your name!" Master Jingyun stood up, ready to face the danger. He held a peach wood sword, its tip gleaming with golden light, and pointed it at the person in the pit.
Whoosh, a gust of wind rose up.
The crackling sound was just like sparks flying out when burning charcoal.
In the large pit, a tall man with feet of height stood naked, his eyes looking upwards, his appearance extremely strange, surrounded by fiery red flames.
"The drought demon is wreaking havoc, causing unbearable suffering," Ji Xiaoxiao murmured.
The Nie family is truly a force to be reckoned with!
“Drought Demon.” Master Huai Kong’s eyes revealed a solemn expression. Drought Demon, a top-tier zombie.
"What else is the Nie family hiding that they can even control the drought demon at will?" Master Jingyun's beard trembled, showing how angry he was.
Except for the first generation of drought demons who were born with it, all subsequent drought demons evolved slowly from white zombies. Zombies are bloodthirsty, firstly because they love blood, and secondly because their evolution is inseparable from human blood. The amount of human blood needed for a white zombie to evolve into a drought demon could probably flood this small county town.
Master Jingyun was furious. The drought demon was an extremely evil monster, and as a righteous person, he could not allow it to wreak havoc on the world. Master Jingyun made the first move, and countless yellow talismans rushed towards the drought demon, sticking to its body. The characters on the talismans suddenly lit up.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The drought demon let out a painful roar.
Master Huai Kong waited for his opportunity to act, using sacred Buddhist chants to exorcise evil spirits.
