In the winding mountains, four figures quickly shuttled through the forest and flashed by.
Luo Jianqing and the other three didn't take flight, as that might reveal their whereabouts. Meanwhile, the Buddhist disciple took out a bowl and hung it above everyone's heads, saying, "This is the Thunder and Fire Bowl, a protective shield my uncle gave me a few days ago. It conceals auras, making it undetectable to those below the Tribulation Crossing stage."
Under such circumstances, the four people moved forward under the leadership of Luo Jianqing and Fozi.
That demon cultivator had just killed 100,000 people, so his karma was naturally very strong. Luo Jianqing had just mastered the fourth level of the "Nine Heavenly Records" and could vaguely see it. The Buddhist disciple, however, was very sensitive to the fire of karma and could also see a fierce red light rising into the sky.
Among these 100,000 people, the vast majority are ordinary mortals, and the cultivator with the highest cultivation level is only at the Qi Refining Stage.
In the face of a powerful being at the Fusion Stage, they were like fragile rice or wheat, their lives ruthlessly cut down. Perhaps a man was chatting and laughing with his wife and children one moment, only to have his entire family wiped out the next; or perhaps a scholar, hoping to take the imperial examinations in Beijing, died silently in this desolate wilderness.
There are countless small countries in the Thirty-Six States. The boundary between the secular world and the world of cultivation is obvious, and they never interfere with each other.
But the demon cultivators and monsters never abide by this rule.
Mo Qiu's face remained calm as he explained, "It's easy, convenient, and quick for demonic cultivators to kill mortals. Although there's no spiritual energy in a mortal's body to absorb, they can absorb the mortal's remaining vitality, which is more beneficial than spiritual energy. For example, if a person should die at the age of sixty, but is killed by a demonic cultivator at the age of thirty, then the remaining thirty years of their vitality will be devoured by the demonic cultivator, and they will have to become a wandering ghost, waiting another thirty years before they can be reincarnated."
Along the way, the Buddhists silently recited the Heart Sutra to pray for the souls of these mortals who died tragically.
Every time the Buddhist recited a sentence, golden verses of scripture flowed from his mouth. Spouting true words! This was the realm of the Buddhist. He constantly saved innocent mortals who had died suddenly, helping them enter the cycle of reincarnation, freeing them from the torment of wandering ghosts.
What the Buddhist disciple said before was correct. The reason why Guiyuan Sect moved to Cenzhou a thousand years ago was to curb the Demon Lord.
Cenzhou is entirely water, yet the Guiyuan Sect abandoned their sacred mountain and traveled thousands of miles to this place. This is because Cenzhou borders the territory of the Demonic Palace. Even though the Demon Lord has not committed any acts of indiscriminate killing in the past thousand years, the number of demon cultivators who kill far exceeds the number who do not. Buddhist cultivators, seeking to save the world, naturally must stop the demon cultivators.
The Buddhist disciple looked at another village being slaughtered with a look of pity and said, "I am powerless to stop it."
Mo Qiu sneered, "Even the head of your righteous sect, Venerable Xuan Lingzi, cannot stop so many demon cultivators in the world. The Demon Palace has absorbed 70% to 80% of the demon cultivators in the world. Even if they try to restrain them, there are still demon cultivators killing people every year. The way of heaven is unchanging. You can only ask the way of heaven for the answer."
The Buddhist remained silent.
Luo Jianqing looked at their confrontation and could only sigh silently.
The four of them continued on their way, and when they reached a small hill, Mo Qiu suddenly stopped. Luo Jianqing turned to look at him, frowning, "If we go any further, we'll probably be discovered. He's deep in a cave on the hillside ahead."
Mo Qiu nodded slightly. "That's right. After all, they are powerful beings in the Fusion Stage. No matter how powerful this protective Thunder Fire Bowl is, it can't completely hide the auras of four people. We can also put the Thunder Fire Bowl away now. It won't make much difference whether we have it or not. That demon cultivator is refining the mortal vitality he just absorbed."
The Buddhist disciple immediately took back the protective thunder and fire bowl.
Luo Jianqing took out the Frost Floating Sword from between his brows and looked at Mo Qiu sternly. Mo Qiu also looked at him.
Luo Jianqing said: "It should be the late stage of fusion."
Mo Qiu nodded: "Yes, it is the late stage of fusion, but it seems that he was promoted just now."
Yunxiang said, "There aren't many demon cultivators who can reach the late stage of fusion. Mo Qiu, do you recognize who that is?"
Mo Qiu shook his head: "That demon cultivator should be a lone cultivator and has not joined the Demonic Palace."
Although the Demonic Palace has accepted most of the demon cultivators in the world, there are many rules that the demon cultivators must abide by. Therefore, many demon cultivators with higher strength are unwilling to join the Demonic Palace, but they dare not oppose the Demonic Palace openly.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
After all, he was a cultivator in the late Fusion stage, and a demon cultivator at that, his strength far surpassed those of his level. Of the four of them, the highest level was Mo Qiu, in the late Nascent Soul stage, while the lowest was Yun Xiang, in the late Golden Core stage. Even though they were all top talents of the younger generation, they were still two full realms behind that demon cultivator.
Luo Jianqing pondered for a long time before finally speaking, "If we want to kill him, we must take advantage of him when he's at his weakest. I know that when a demon cultivator absorbs the spiritual energy of others and transforms it into their own spiritual energy, they will reveal a flaw. We have very little time, probably only a moment. Even if the demon cultivator is very weak, he must have at least reached the fusion stage, so we can only use our own unique skills and not hide anything."
When Mo Qiu and Yun Xiang heard Luo Jianqing reveal the flaws of the demon cultivator, they looked at him in surprise.
The flaws of the demon cultivators are never revealed. This is an unwritten rule among the demon cultivators. How could Luo Jianqing know about it?
But they didn't have time to think about it. Mo Qiu thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's all use our unique skills. This might help. But we also have to prepare a way to escape first. Assuming that demon cultivator is not dead, we must escape. I have two flying shadow butterflies here. Each can carry one person away. They are extremely fast. Yunxiang, you take this one. Luo Jianqing, you take the other one."
