"Hey, was my eyes dazzled just now? I seemed to see Elder Zheng and a beautiful female fairy leaving the city?"

"I saw it too. It seems to be Elder Zheng."

"It's so late, why are Elder Zheng and that female fairy going out of the city alone? What are they doing?"

"Hush, stop asking about the big shots and take a good look at our city gate!"

On the top of Zhenlian City, the city lord and the immortals had already eaten and drunk their fill and gone to rest, leaving only a team of guards still taking turns on duty on the top of the city.

Just now they vaguely saw two figures going out in the night, looking very anxious.

They all recognized who the man was, but everyone smiled knowingly. Who says a hero who saves the world can't play with women?

Maybe it was that beautiful female fairy who took the initiative!

At this moment, a guard suddenly stopped, his pupils filled with fear.

"Old Four, what's wrong?"

The person in front turned around and asked curiously.

The guard raised his hand with difficulty and pointed to the south side of the city, his voice trembling:

"Is that... the Red Flame Fox?"

Everyone turned around in horror, only to see a fox emitting red flames standing on the Qilian Mountain in the distance, looking down at them with its strange eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Red Flame Fox!"

"It's really the Red Flame Fox!!"

"The seventh-rank demon beast is coming! Quick, go report to the city lord!"

…

"Uncle Zheng, where is Brother Chun?"

When Zhenlian City was in chaos, in a forest dozens of miles away from Zhenlian City.

The gurgling spring water flows down from the mountain, the beautiful scenery and the gentle night breeze are refreshing.

Zheng Shengmo and Lin Qingchou ran here and finally stopped. Lin Qingchou looked around but did not see Chun Ningzhi.

"Don't worry, niece. Ning Zhi should be on his way."

Zheng Shengmo smiled at Lin Qingchou and said, "Ning Zhi has a top-grade spiritual root. If you want to practice dual cultivation with a top-grade spiritual root, you need both of you to have a mutual understanding and a fusion of spirit and flesh. Let me check for you again to see if your spiritual powers are compatible."

Zheng Shengmo's words were too straightforward. Lin Qingchou felt ashamed and annoyed, wondering why Master Zheng didn't know how to be more discreet. It was really not in accordance with etiquette.

However, the other party was Senior Brother Chun's master after all, and he wanted to bring her and Senior Brother Chun together, so she naturally couldn't disobey him. She immediately stretched out her snow-white wrist and said respectfully:

"Thank you for your help, uncle."

Zheng Shengmo smiled gently and placed his fingers on Lin Qingchou's wrist.

The next moment, Lin Qingchou's expression changed: "Uncle Master, what are you doing?"

A powerful spiritual power suddenly surged out from Zheng Shengmo's fingers, instantly entering her body and restricting her cultivation!

"Master niece, although your appearance and talent are not as good as Ye Xiyue's, you can still help me break through the Nascent Soul stage."

The smile on Zheng Shengmo's face became more amiable, and his tone was filled with great kindness:

"Qingchou, you won't refuse your uncle, right?"

Lin Qingchou's body was stiff, unable to move. With an ominous feeling in her heart, she asked in a trembling voice:

"Uncle Master, what are you talking about?"

Zheng Shengmo moved his hands to her shoulders, his fingers clasped tightly into her soft skin, his smile gradually becoming colder:

“Qingchou, my uncle has been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul for many years and cannot break through. Only a top-grade spiritual root can be combined with mine to help me break through the bottleneck. You are a disciple of the Zhenyang Sect, so you should help my uncle practice!”

As Zheng Shengmo spoke, his hands moved around. Lin Qingchou was shocked and tears welled up in her eyes, but there was still an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Uncle Zheng, are you kidding me? Where's Senior Brother Chun? Why hasn't Senior Brother Chun come yet?"

Zheng Shengmo laughed: "Qingchou, don't you understand? Ning Zhi respects his teacher so much. He was so happy to hear that you can help me practice. He asked me to tell you that you must cooperate with your uncle."

Wow!

With a scream, Lin Qingchou's white dress was torn off. She raised her hands to cover her body, but she was unable to move.

It was not until this moment that she understood what Zheng Shengmo was going to do to her, but there was still disbelief on her face.

"Is this what Senior Brother Chun meant? No, no, you lied to me! Senior Brother Chun wouldn't do that!"

"Stop it, don't do that! You are my uncle, how can you...ah!!"

The shrill screams mixed with the sound of gurgling water, floating up into the air, startling a few flying birds, and then no one paid any attention to it.

…

After half an incense stick.

Zheng Shengmo stood up with a satisfied smile on his face and stepped on the red spots on the ground. The bloodstains mixed with mud and soon became dirty.

"No, no... Senior Brother Chun, you're here? That's great."

Lin Qingchou was lying on the ground, looking dazed, unable to tell whether she was crying or laughing, and it was obvious that she was out of consciousness.

Ignoring the collapsed Lin Qingchou, Zheng Shengmo walked to the side and sat cross-legged, trying to use the little bit of innate spiritual energy he had just absorbed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Although the innate spiritual energy contained in Lin Qingchou's acquired gold-grade spiritual roots is very little, it is enough for Zheng Shengmo.

He had already been lingering at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for many years, and was just missing this final step.

Now that he has this bit of innate spiritual energy, he is confident that he can break through to the level of a spirit.

The headmaster was seriously injured in Tianlu Mountain and has been in seclusion for more than a year. His life or death is unknown. Tan Tai Mingyue, whose cultivation is not as good as his, has the honor of taking the position of acting headmaster.

When I reach the Spirit Transformation Realm, I will be the best in the world. Let’s see who dares to oppose me from sitting on the throne of the head sect leader!

Zheng Shengmo was excited, as his long-cherished wish was about to come true. He immediately sped up the circulation of his spiritual power, and carried that bit of innate spiritual energy into his own spiritual field.

In an instant, Zheng Shengmo's face changed!

"This spiritual energy... is poisonous?!"

He quickly practiced his skills, trying to force the poisonous innate spiritual energy out of his body, but the poison was so fierce and cunning that it penetrated deep into his spiritual field and quickly flowed through his blood to his meridians.

puff!

Zheng Shengmo spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale. He was horrified to find that his spiritual power was being lost at a very fast rate, and his cultivation was also declining!

"How could this happen?! What kind of poison is this?!!"

Zheng Shengmo took out dozens of elixirs from his storage bag and stuffed them into his mouth. He desperately practiced his skills, trying to concentrate his spiritual power and maintain his cultivation.

But the poison had already occupied his spiritual field and spread throughout his body's meridians, causing his cultivation to continue to decline.

Nascent Soul Level 8, Nascent Soul Level 7, Nascent Soul Level 6...

An hour later, Zheng Shengmo finally suppressed the poison in his body.

But his cultivation level also dropped to the Nascent Soul stage.

Zheng Shengmo was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and he turned around and glared at Lin Qingchou:

"How can there be poison in your body?! Did you do this on purpose?"

Lin Qingchou regained consciousness at this time and found herself naked. She screamed and quickly covered her vital parts with her hands. She curled up and looked at Zheng Shengmo in fear:

"Uncle Zheng, why, why do you do this to me?!"

"You bitch! You're carrying poison?!"

Zheng Shengmo kicked Lin Qingchou in the abdomen. Lin Qingchou rolled back several feet, breaking countless trees and stopping only after hitting the mountain wall. She spat out a mouthful of blood and her face turned pale.

Zheng Shengmo flashed, grabbed Lin Qingchou's neck and lifted her up, his eyes full of ferocious bloodshot:

"Where's the antidote?!"

Lin Qingchou's eyes were dull and she was just crying. Zheng Shengmo was furious:

"This is a trap you set, right? Tell me, who ordered you to do this?!"

"Zheng Shengmo, guess whether you will die today?"

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, and a petite figure slowly walked out from the opposite side of the mountain spring. She had delicate features and a gentle temperament, but her eyes were filled with endless murderous intent!

"Ruomei?"

Zheng Shengmo stared at the figure that suddenly appeared and said in horror:

"It's you! I never noticed you before. Who are you?"

Ruomei stood beside the gurgling spring, looking at Zheng Shengmo opposite her, and said coldly:

"You should be familiar with this place, right?"

Zheng Shengmo narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"

Ruomei continued, "Three days ago, you led a team of Zhenyang Sect disciples to encounter Feiyu, Lieyun, and Huzhi on this mountain. Although your cultivation was enough to fight against them, you were afraid of death, so you used that team of disciples as a shield and escaped."

"The next day, their bodies floated down the spring and were encountered by us who happened to pass by here."

"These corpses still carry your aura, so I can tell the cause of their death at a glance."

"He is afraid of death, secretly harming his disciples and raping the younger generation. Haha, he is worthy of being the leader of the righteous path in the world!"
