Chapter 749

All the disciples who stayed behind stood at the entrance of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect's grotto-heaven. As one of the four great immortal sects in this world, although it had declined before, it still had ten times more disciples than Penglai. Moreover, Shi Xuan roughly scanned the crowd and found that 60% to 70% of the disciples had cultivation partners. Naturally, there were many more people coming to welcome them.

They had already received news from the Lord Of Heaven who had returned first to make arrangements. They knew that this attack was a success and the Mental Demon Sect was successfully annihilated. Moreover, there were two more powerful third-tribulation cultivators in the sect, especially Shi Xuan and Shi Zhen Jun. Apart from not having the ability to control time, they were close to fourth-tribulation cultivators. They were bound by the sect's rise and fall, so they were filled with joy and welcomed the sect leader, Perfected Lord Leng, Perfected Lord Mo, and Perfected Lord Shi.

A smile appeared on Yan Qingying's beautiful face, but she took out a jade book in her hand. She sank her immortal sense into it and activated the aura inside. Immediately, the bodies of many disciples and cultivation partners twisted, and black shadows appeared. Then, they were killed by the Lord Of Heaven who had returned first. Since they were already prepared, these mental demons were caught off guard. They couldn't sever their karmic connections in time and died completely.

After obtaining the Mental Demon Sect's jade book, Yan Qingying, Mu Yang, and Lu Rui each made a copy of the aura inside to distinguish between enemies and allies.

Although cultivators who cultivated mental demons could sever their karmic connections, their intrinsic aura couldn't be changed. Once their aura fell into the hands of Yan Qingying, a fourth-tribulation Lord Of Heaven, it would be difficult to hide.

Seeing this, Mo Jingqiu sighed in her immortal sense. "Mental demon cultivators are really dangerous. If we're not careful, we'll have endless troubles. They're really a serious problem for a sect." She said this with emotion.

"Lord Of Heaven can still use mental demons to cultivate, but for cultivators below the Lord Of Heaven level, there's no benefit." Shi Xuan nodded in agreement, but he was thinking about something else.

Seeing that Shi Xuan was deep in thought, Mo Jingqiu asked curiously, "Daoist Shi, did you see something wrong again?"

"From the Hunyuan Immortal Sect's records, after the disappearance of the two half-step Golden Immortals, many Perfected Beings and Lord Of Heaven with bad temperaments appeared in the cultivation world. As time passed, there were more and more of them. Now, there are even oddities like Mu Yang whose temperament has been deteriorating after reaching the Essence Soul Realm." Shi Xuan sighed. "We can start from this."

Mo Jingqiu smiled bitterly. "It seems like there really is a problem with the Heavenly Tribulation and Blight Tribulation here, but time is of the essence.

Most of the Heavenly Tribulations and Decay Tribulations were measured in thousands of years. It was difficult to coincidentally encounter them in a short period of time. Furthermore, neither Shi Xuan nor Mo Jingqiu had the ability to trigger the tribulations of others in advance.

Shi Xuan naturally understood this logic. Otherwise, even without Mo Jingqiu's question, he would have looked for her to discuss a solution.

Shi Xuan naturally understood this. Otherwise, Mo Jingqiu wouldn't have asked and he would have discussed it with her. Mo Jingqiu changed the topic. According to the ancient records of the Primordius Immortal Sect, there was an underworld on the other side of the Blue Lush Mountain Range. Ghost messengers traveled according to the laws of the heavens and earth and could quickly reach places with dead people.

Mo Jingqiu changed the topic. According to the records of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, there was an Underworld on the other side of the Cangyu Mountain Range. Ghost Messengers traveled according to the laws of heaven and earth, and they could quickly reach the place where there were dead people.

This time, Shi Xuan agreed to Mo Jingqiu's condition and entered the Universe Cauldron. He wanted to see if he could hide it from them and plan a way out. Who knew that the figure of the Five Elements Daozu would be faintly discernible, and the existence of the Daozu of the Life and Death would be revealed openly. Naturally, he couldn't hide his disappointment.

"Fortunately, I haven't found any traces of the Nirvana Daoist." Shi Xuan could only comfort himself like this.

…

A few days later, when Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu were trying their best to see through the mysteries of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, Yan Qingying suddenly sent a maid to invite them to discuss something important.

When they arrived at the Hunyuan Immortal Sect's main hall, Yan Qingying went straight to the point. "Something strange happened near the lower courtyard of the sect in the Cangyu Mountain Range. We suspect that it's caused by inner demons."

The method of communication between the Immortal Sects, the Lower Academy, and the cultivators who were stationed in different places made Shi Xuan feel strange and funny. In order to overcome the obstacles caused by the Space Barrier, the Immortals and Lords of Heaven used crystals to make a long line, which was full of inhibition, to connect to different places. Then, the message would be transmitted through the crystal line, which was very fast, similar to a telephone. The Lords of Heaven with profound cultivation could also use the crystal line to make the escape method almost at the level of an immortal skill. For example, it only took them more than ten seconds to go to the Blue Mountains.

It was easy to make crystal lines, but it was very time-consuming to add restrictions, so it couldn't be widely used.

Mo Jingqiu asked calmly, "Sect Master, do you want one of us to go?" The day before yesterday, they found traces of a Lord Of Heaven from the Inner Demon Sect in another place. Leng Rumei had already rushed over, but Yan Qingying, as a Fourth Tribulation Lord Of Heaven and the Sect Master, couldn't act rashly.

"Two incidents happened one after another in such a short period of time. I think it's a bit strange. Did Bai Ze think that his plan to deceive everyone succeeded and wanted to take revenge on Perfected Lord Shi before he was exposed? That's why he came so quickly." Yan Qingying didn't answer directly. Instead, she pointed out the strangeness.

Shi Xuan smiled. "Sect Master Yan, do you want to beat him at his own game?"

Yan Qingying smiled. "As Perfected Lord Shi said, Bai Ze doesn't know that you've already seen through his flaws, so it's hard for him to be on guard. I'll secretly follow you. Once Bai Ze appears, I'll launch an attack. With me to offset his ability to control time, Fellow Daoist Shi, your sword technique will be able to be used normally. You'll be able to join forces with me to kill Bai Ze. "

"What if Mu Yang colludes with Bai Ze? When that time comes, he'll have to face two Fourth Tribulation Lord Of Heaven. The odds are against him. "Mo Jingqiu raised a question.

Yan Qingying was already prepared. "I'll let Sect Master Lu and Perennial Immortal Man take turns to watch Mu Yang. Even if there's a problem with him, he won't be able to do anything."

Shi Xuan pondered for a moment before saying, "I'm willing to go." If he could take down Bai Ze and find out why he was targeting him, he might be able to understand a lot of things.

"I'll go with Fellow Daoist Shi," Mo Jingqiu said. On one hand, he was worried that some dangerous variables might appear. With his help, Shi Xuan would have a much higher chance of success. On the other hand, in this strange world, it was best for the two of them not to be separated.

Yan Qingying smiled and nodded. "Alright. You and your wife will go together. It'll be more cautious and eliminate Bai Ze's suspicions. "

…

The environment of the Cang Yu Mountain Range was similar to that of the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Yu Yutian. However, behind it was the Netherworld, so the entire mountain range was much gloomier. The Evil Qi was denser and varied. It was a good place to condense Evil Qi, cultivate certain Daoist techniques, and refine certain artifacts.

When Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu escaped from the crystal lines, Luo Mei, the head of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, was already standing in the hall with a few elders. Seeing this, she hurriedly bowed respectfully. "Greetings, True Lord Mo. Greetings, True Lord Shi."

"Where did the abnormality occur?" Mo Jingqiu asked directly after nodding his head in greeting.

Luo Mei was a delicate beauty. Seeing that True Lord Mo was swift and decisive, she didn't waste any time. "It's in a nearby tribe. Since yesterday, some of their tribesmen have gone crazy from time to time, killing anyone they see."

"Alright, lead the way." Mo Jingqiu said straightforwardly. Wasn't it obvious that the Lord Of Heaven of the Three Tribulations was a bait? It was better to deal with it according to the normal procedure, with the Essence Soul Perfected Master here and the two Lord Of Heaven of the Three Tribulations guarding behind the scenes.

They couldn't afford to overlook such small details.

Luo Mei didn't refuse. She immediately turned around and flew toward the tribe. Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu followed from a distance.

The tribe wasn't far away. In just a quarter of an hour, Luo Mei had entered the village and started to inquire and investigate.

Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu hid in the air, fully alert for any changes in the surroundings.

Suddenly, the shadows of all the trees within a radius of a hundred miles seemed to come to life. They twisted and turned into black insects, spewing black gravel toward the shadows of Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu. The sky was filled with black rolling.

At the same time, Shi Xuan sensed the strange changes in the nearby time. He immediately turned the Tai Chi Diagram into the Paramita Golden Bridge and suppressed it.

Even though he knew that Yan Qingying wasn't far away and was about to make a move, Shi Xuan wouldn't just stand there and wait.

Time was like a cage, appearing. However, due to the limitations of the realm, the Paramita Golden Bridge could only suppress time for a moment. He only had time to turn the Heavenly Cycle Stars Sword Technique into the Milky Way to protect the two of them. Mo Jingqiu also took the opportunity to take out the Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper.

However, both the Milky Way and the Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper became slow after a moment. They were about to be hit by the black gravel.

At this moment, the slow time reversed and canceled each other out in the blink of an eye. The Milky Way shone brightly again, and the Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper's mottled golden light sprinkled down.

Yan Qingying finally arrived and set up the Nine Tunes Heavenly River Formation. The long brown river meandered into the void, causing waves to surge within a radius of a few hundred miles.

Bai Ze, whose long black hair was like silk, appeared in the waves. At first glance, his appearance was strangely handsome, but upon closer inspection, it was constantly changing, like the human heart.

Yan Qingying took out the Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper and said coldly, "Bai Ze, you really didn't die. Today, you will be beheaded here!"

Bai Ze was trapped in the Nine Tunes Heavenly River Formation, but he did not panic. A strange smile appeared on his face. "Sect Master Yan, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Following his words, the stars in the sky lit up and transformed into a huge chessboard that fell down from above.

Fifth Heaven's Blight!

"Perennial Immortal Old Man!" Yan Qingying was shocked and angry. Fortunately, she did not let down her guard and reacted immediately. The surroundings were enveloped by the Nine Tunes Heavenly River Formation, so the formation changed rapidly and moved her, Shi Xuan, and Mo Jingqiu out of the range of the fifth Heaven's Blight.

In the distance, the Perennial Immortal Old Man appeared with a faint smile on his face. He blocked the path of retreat of Shi Xuan and the others. In front of him, Bai Ze stood proudly with his hands behind his back.

After their sneak attack failed, they did not continue to attack. It seemed that they were very confident in taking down Shi Xuan and the others. Thus, according to the rules of the inner demons, they first shook the other party's mind.

Shi Xuan said in surprise, "The traitor is actually you, the Perennial Immortal Old Man?"

Bai Ze laughed out loud. "How could it be that idiot Mu Yang! Perfected Lord Shi is indeed as meticulous as hair. He actually saw through the flaw that I deliberately left behind so quickly. "

"Deliberately left behind?" Yan Qingying's expression became serious. The Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper flew to the sky above the Nine Tunes Heavenly River Formation.

Bai Ze joked, "There is only one Bai Ze in the inner demon illusion. How could I not have thought of such a big flaw? Sect Master Yan, how about we beat each other at their own game? "

The Perennial Immortal Old Man also chuckled. "Whether the fifth Heaven's Blight hit the Lord Of Heaven or the demonic shadow, how could Lao Dao not feel it?!"
