After Ming Huaping saw these demons, her first reaction was that this was a plot by the cultivators of the Devil's Doctrine against the Li Mountain Sect.
This guess was not without reason. She was the only person in the Li Mountain Sect who had cultivated a Dharmakaya other than the sect master. Furthermore, the sect still relied on her and Yuxiao to maintain the connection. If she died here, it would be a heavy blow to the Li Mountain Sect.
Although her mind was racing, the devil was extremely savage and was constantly destroying the restrictions on the boat, so she didn't have time to think too much. She opened her hand, and countless petals flew out from between her fingertips. The petals filled the air, and for a moment, the jasper flowers scattered, and the fragrance assailed her nostrils. Whenever the devil outside came into contact with them, they would vanish into thin air, and an opening appeared in the shadows that filled her eyes.
She flicked her fingers again, and a spiritual light flew out, disappearing in the blink of an eye. This was to go to Yuxiao school to get a help talisman, but she did not know if the cultivators of Yuxiao school would rush over after receiving it, so she did not have much hope for it.
As for the Li Mountain Sect's help talisman, she had it with her, but she suspected that it was a trick, so she did not plan to release it.
She raised her fingers and plucked the strings on the table. There were clanging sounds, and a few rapid notes came out. The demons that were trapped at the periphery were shaken, and one by one, they actually dispersed. The few miles around the boat instantly cleared up.
However, there was not a hint of relaxation on her face. If the other party really wanted to take her life, then the arrangements would not be so simple.
As expected, in a short while, countless demons actually leaped out from the void.
During the battle of the Mystic Demons back then, Ming Huaping had fought a few times, so she knew that the more it was at this time, the more she could not panic.
She tried her best to maintain her composure, and her fingers continued to pluck on the strings of the instrument. However, even though the demons were continuously dispersed, they would reform each time, and she could not truly destroy them. Instead, the restrictions on the boat were getting dirtier, and at this moment, it was already on the verge of collapse.
In her senses, she still did not know where the true owner was. Either the enemy's cultivation was brilliant, and they were adept at hiding, or their true body was still hiding and watching from afar.
"The one who came did not come up to fight me. It's very likely that he's weaker than me, so he's planning to use this demon to exhaust my magic power. "
His thoughts changed. Fighting the demon here was not a wise move. He had to abandon the pleasure boat and break out of the encirclement, luring the person who attacked to appear.
After making up his mind, he immediately raised his finger and tapped on the wall of the cabin. A wave of magic power flowed into it, instantly supporting the entire pleasure boat. Even if the restriction was dissolved, he wouldn't fall to his death. Hugging his zither, he turned into a streak of rainbow light and soared into the sky. However, the direction he went was very different from before.
"Since the other party attacked me, they should have some confidence. If I go to Mount Li or Yuxiao, there might be an ambush along the way. I might as well find another place. "
After fleeing for more than a thousand li, he turned around and looked back. However, he saw that there was always a demon chasing after him. He knew that he had not shaken off the other party. Looking at the other party's skillful movements, it seemed that the other party's movement technique was even above his own. He immediately felt that it was very troublesome.
Calculating the distance, no matter which sect he went to, he would have to go to. At this moment, no matter which sect he went to, it would take six to seven days or even half a month. The other party definitely wouldn't give her the chance, so she could only turn back and fight.
She decided to choose a place with a wide field of view to fight. This way, not only could she guard against the elusive demon, but she could also guard against cultivators passing by. She could also watch from afar and wait for reinforcements.
After traveling for another three to five thousand li, she saw a large river. On the other side was a vast plain. Under the clear sky, there were flocks of white birds flying and hunting by the riverside. It was a suitable place, so she flew above it and stopped.
The demon also stopped in front of her. That blurry face actually had a hint of an unfathomable smile.
Ming Huaping stood with her zither and said coldly, "Since you want to find me, why don't you attack?"
The demon seemed to be provoked by her words. With a cry, it charged forward. She only plucked the zither, and with a boom, it scattered.
However, the scattered strands of Devil Qi trembled and actually turned into hundreds of them. They rushed over again, with the momentum of surrounding her in one fell swoop.
Ming Huaping took a step back and instantly turned into a rainbow light, escaping from this place. At the same time, she stretched out her slender hand and made a grabbing motion in mid-air, using a Heaven and Earth Lock Technique. This was not to restrain these demons, but to force out the enemy who was hiding in the dark.
However, what shocked her was that not only did this grab not achieve its goal, it couldn't even hold those demons in place.
Her reaction was also fast. Seeing that this technique didn't work, she pulled her sleeve and pulled out a ribbon. With a light shake, it immediately spun out several ribbons. Fan Xian was sucked into the ribbons, and in the blink of an eye, it shattered. In the next breath, it returned to its original form, still roaring and rushing over.
At this moment, a hundred li away, Sima Quan stood on the crown of a large tree, watching the changes of the battle from afar.
This time, he borrowed the essence of the Black Pearl, and also took out the demons that he had refined for a long time. Although they couldn't compare to a third degree cultivator, they won in terms of speed, and could pollute the talisman's spiritual vigor. They also didn't fear the Heaven and Earth Lock Technique. If they continued fighting like this, as long as there were no accidents, he had great confidence that he could take down this woman.
Ming Huaping sometimes flew and sometimes stopped to fight, but she still couldn't do anything to this demon. After a day and night like this, her mana was obviously running out. At this moment, there was still no one coming to help. Just when she thought that she was going to die here, suddenly there was a strange sound, and a picture scroll flew over from afar. It arrived in the middle of the battle, and the picture scroll opened up. From inside, a Pi Xiu shadow jumped out and roared at the sky. With a bang, all the demons collapsed. Then, a suction force was produced from the picture, and all the scattered Devil Qi was sucked into it.
From afar, a handsome cultivator with a smile on his face came over. He waved his hand and took the picture scroll into his palm, and threw it into his sleeve. He cupped his hands at Ming Huaping and said, "I didn't expect to meet Junior Sister Ming here. Greetings."
Sima Quan was extremely shocked, and he secretly shook his head, "I didn't expect a disciple of Anatta Temple to come here, and with such a high cultivation experience. Forget it, this is fate. Since it doesn't work, I might as well stop now." He also made a decision, and with a shake of his body, he disappeared without a trace.
"So it's Senior Apprentice-Brother Kong?"
Ming Huaping revealed a surprised expression, and bowed. She said gratefully, "If it wasn't for Senior Apprentice-Brother's help, Huaping would have been harmed by the demon."
Kong Shutong smiled lightly, and said, "It's a small matter, Junior Sister Ming need not worry."
Ming Huaping was confused, "Speaking of which, this place is quite far from Anatta Temple. Why is Senior Apprentice-Brother Kong here?"
Kong Shutong said, "Do you remember the phoenix head pen that I gave you?"
Ming Huaping nodded, and said, "Of course I remember. This item seems to have the effect of warding off evil and purifying the heart. Huaping has always been carrying it with me."
Kong Shutong smiled, and said, "That's it. That pen has my Anatta Temple's restrictive spell on it. If it was tainted by the Demonic Qi, I would be able to detect it within a thousand miles. But it's quite a coincidence, I'm here on orders from my sect to sweep away the Demonic Qi. To be able to bump into you, it can be considered fate. "
Ming Huaping frowned slightly. What he meant was that he could use the pen to sense where she was. But this time he saved her life, so there was no need to fuss over such a small matter.
Moreover, he was magnanimous, and admitted to this matter, so she didn't feel that it was inappropriate. Instead, she had a strange feeling in her heart.
Kong Shutong looked at her from top to bottom. He suddenly asked, "Junior Sister Ming, have you been fighting with the demon for a long time?"
Ming Huaping was surprised, and said, "It's been a day and night. Is there anything wrong?"
Kong Shutong said with a serious expression, "If I'm not wrong, you have been poisoned by the Demonic Qi. If you don't try to get rid of it, you might be taken advantage of by the demon. Why don't you come to Anatta Temple, and borrow the instrument from our sect to help you get rid of the impurities?"
Ming Huaping hesitated for a while. Wan Fu said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Kong Shutong said, "It's alright."
The two of them cast their conveyance lights together. Five days later, they returned to the mountain gate of Anatta Temple.
Kong Shutong arranged for Ming Huaping to enter the pavilion. He then traveled to the sky, and came to a golden temple below the Yang Hua Grotto-Heaven. When he entered the room, he looked up and saw Zhang Zhen standing under a Wutong tree that was as tall as two people. Her eyes were as clear as water, and there was a faint glow in them. He quickly came up and bowed, and said, "Greetings, Senior Sister. I've already followed your instructions and brought Daoist Ming back."
Zhang Zhen said, "Junior Apprentice-Brother Kong did a good job. You have to think of a way to keep Daoist Ming here. Don't let her return to Mount Li easily. "
Kong Shutong was stunned, and he could not help but feel a headache. This Senior Sister did not say so at first. He asked, "Why did you do this?"
Zhang Zhen turned around and broke a branch, and said, "The Yuxiao school invited Daoist Ming to enter the mountain to cultivate. Their purpose is to help Daoist Ming enter the grotto-heaven, and then return to take back the authority of Mount Li. There must be some other arrangements behind this, but we do not know about it now. However, there is no need to look into it. Since Anatta Temple and Qincang are working together, there is a high chance that we will go against Yuxiao in the future. We just have to stop this from happening."
Kong Shutong cautiously asked: "But wouldn't doing so infuriate Sect Master Shen of Mount Li?"
Zhang Zhen said, "It does not matter. Zhenren Shen and I have exchanged letters, and she knows about this. You just have to do it."
Kong Shutong's heart shook, and he thought to himself, "No wonder. I thought it was so easy to meet Daoist Ming when I went out this time. This is most likely the arrangement of Senior Apprentice-Sister and Sect Master Shen."
Thinking about this, he did not dare to look at Senior Apprentice-Sister's eyes. He bowed and said, "Junior Apprentice-Brother will go now."
In the Hall of Duzhen, Zhang Yan came out from his months of meditation. He looked at the Primordial Essence Stone that was placed in front of him. Compared to before, the stone's luster was slightly dimmer. It was obvious that he had absorbed a lot of the Purple Clear Spiritual Qi in the stone.
Although there was only one strand of Qi, it was unusually pure. With his cultivation, even if he absorbed it into his body, he would still need to slowly refine it. It would take at least five to six years for it to be used up.
If a cultivator was walking outside the virtual sky, it would be enough for a person in the grotto-heaven to use for a hundred years. However, if one's mana was a level higher, then it would be hard to say.
He exercised his technique slightly, and his cultivation experience was indeed much more refined than before. He also realized that the Qi could not only help him improve his Qi path cultivation experience, but even his corporeal body had some benefits.
He couldn't help but think in his heart, "Thousands of years ago, there were still many strange species in the world that could compete with us. But now, they can't be found anymore. Whether it's the Dragon Carp Liren or the Shen Gu that Fellow Daoist Li subdued in the South Sea, they all stopped at a bottleneck. Perhaps they lack this spiritual opportunity."
He looked down again and shook his head slightly. It was a pity that this Qi could not be used to refine a talisman.
Although the Qinghong Sword Pill had become a killing weapon, the Heaven and Earth Leaf was still being refined and nourished. He did not know how long it would take for it to be completed. If it was possible, he did not mind increasing the speed.
It was just that there was no record of this in the Xuan Book. Even the talisman and true spirits on him had no reaction to this Qi of Clear Purple. This spiritual opportunity could only be used by the living beings in the world.
He waved his hand and took a look at the letter on the table. Seeing that everything was going well in the North Underworld Continent and there were no major issues, he went back to meditating.
Another month passed like this. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a bell beside his ear. He opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter outside?"
Jing You entered and said, "Master, Mount Li has sent a disciple to pay a visit to Master."
Zhang Yan's thoughts turned. He heard that the chaos in Li Mountain Sect was hard to settle, so the disciple came here for this matter. He had previously promised that if Li Mountain Sect encountered any difficulties, they could come and ask for help. He said, "Lead her to the outer hall to wait.
With a thought, a sword ray flew out from the heart of his brows. In the blink of an eye, it flew out of the small world and into the outer hall. It transformed into an avatar and sat on the praying mat.
After a while, a female priest came in. She was dressed in a grey Daoist robe. Although she was beautiful, her expression was stern and hard to get close to. She bowed and said, "Mister Du Shan's seventh disciple, Hao E, greets Zhenren Zhang."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "What business does Zhenren Hao have here?"
Hao E finished her greeting and said in a deep voice, "My Li Mountain Sect has been in chaos for a long time. However, because we are weak, it has been difficult to settle it. I have come under the orders of the sect master to ask Zhenren to send a few great cultivators to help me settle the dispute."
If it was just a simple rebellion in the lower sect, Shen Zixin wouldn't have come to ask for help. She could have even asked a few fellow daoists from the Daoist sects to settle it. However, it was obvious that someone was adding fuel to the fire. She also had some guesses about the person behind the scenes. She believed that her sect was powerless. If this continued, the mountain sect would be in danger of falling apart. In order to quickly stabilize the situation, she didn't hesitate to use a precious favor to beg Qincang School.
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "When Zhenren Yuling was still in this world, I once said that I owed her a favor. Since her disciples have come to ask for help, I will naturally help."
He told the attendant beside him. Not long after, two Daoists came in from outside and bowed. "Greetings, Hall Master."
Zhang Yan said, "Take my hall token and go to Li Mountain Sect. Help him settle the disobedient disciples. After this is done, you can enter the inner hall to cultivate for ten years."
Both of them were overjoyed. They bowed and said, "Yes, Hall Master."
Hao E also bowed deeply and said sincerely, "Thank you, Zhenren Zhang, for your help. My sect will definitely remember this."
She sighed in her heart. The real reason why Li Mountain Sect was struggling to cope was because of the lack of foundation in the sect. Shen Zixin had to maintain the stability of the mountain sect all day long. She didn't even have any cultivation skills. If they could be like Qincang School and could casually send a few Yuanying cultivators who had cultivated Dharmakaya, how could they end up like this?
However, she firmly believed that with the foundation laid by Grandmaster Yuling, this situation would definitely change after a few thousand years.
