Zhen Yang Xuan Altar was protected from both inside and outside. Just Now, the true demon's body was being rebuilt. Alarms were raised on the altar, a silver bell on the southwest corner suddenly rang, and on the southeast corner, a Wooden Vermillion Bird raised its head and chirped loudly.
Zhou Ting was paying attention to the movements outside, but when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the altar, he couldn't help but be shocked. He immediately turned into a ray of light and flew towards the source of the sound.
Once he arrived, he raised his head and saw a Daoist who looked similar to him standing there. His heart sank, knowing that the true demon hadn't been destroyed. Just as he was about to use his divine arts, he glanced over and saw that there were more than ten of his fellow disciples who were unconscious. Out of hesitation, he could only wave his sleeves and unleash a mighty astral wind.
Just Now, the true demon had suffered a loss at his hands, so it seemed like it didn't want to meet him face to face. It used the same trick again, turning around and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Ting's face was gloomy, he walked to the place where the demon disappeared, looked around, and pointed at the altar. A flag on the altar waved, and a Daoist puppet's starfire fell down, covering the corner.
Zhou Ying and Elder Wu also rushed over, the latter asked, "Enlightened Master, what happened?"
Zhou Ting said solemnly, "The demon hasn't died."
Elder Wu frowned, "That's strange, how did he sneak in?" As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Ying.
Just Now, the altar's restriction hadn't been opened yet, and only he and Zhou Ying went in and out of the altar. He knew that his mind was strong enough to not be invaded by an external demon, so it was very likely that Zhou Ying made a mistake.
Zhou Ying saw that he was doubting him, he quickly explained, "Just Now, I'm wearing senior apprentice-brother Zhou's treasured cloak, there's no reason for the demon to touch me."
Zhou Ting waved his hand, "There's no need to be suspicious of each other, junior apprentice-brother Zhou Ying isn't possessed by the demon, the root of the problem is still here."
Facing the puzzled looks of the two, he took out a small mirror and shone it at the sun. He then shone it at the unconscious cultivators below, and when the mirror shone on them, they all showed painful expressions.
Zhou Ying saw that something was wrong, he asked anxiously, "Senior apprentice-brother, what's wrong?"
Zhou Ting said, "I was too careless. Just Now, these fellow disciples were caught off guard and the invisible devil invaded their divine souls. As long as they are alive, the devil will not die. "
Just now, he had intended to kill all of these people so that he could get rid of the scourge. However, he was worried that quite a few of them were from the Zhou Clan. If he could get rid of this demon after killing them, then it would be fine. However, he was afraid that if he couldn't solve this matter after killing them, then the Zhou Clan would definitely punish him. This was a hesitation. With Wu and Zhou here, it would not be appropriate for them to make a move.
Elder Wu had fought with many devil cultivators, but he had never seen such a fierce and strange devil. He frowned and asked, "Spiritual Master Zhou, where did this devil come from?"
At this point, Zhou Ting couldn't hide it anymore. He sighed and said, "It's very likely that it's a True Demon."
Elder Wu was shocked and asked, "Really?"
Zhou Ting was about to speak again. Suddenly, the sound of mountains being split open came from dozens of li away. He turned his head to look. Coincidentally, an altar was drowned by a deep river that could cover a mountain.
Elder Wu's expression was solemn and said, "The Demonic Sect's attack is fast. It looks like it won't take long before they reach the altar.
Zhou Ting snorted and said, "It's not that easy to take down Zheng Yang Xuan Altar. However, with this devil here, it's like a thorn in my back. Although I have sealed off the formation corner, it's not a long term plan. I need to find a countermeasure. "
Elder Wu also understood this logic. Later when they were fighting with the Demonic Sect, if the True Demon attacked them from the back, it would not be good. He thought carefully and said, "It's hard to get rid of this devil, but there's a way we can try."
Zhou Ting said, "What is it?"
Wu Chang Daoren said, "In today's world, when it comes to getting rid of demons, Huanzhen Temple is the best. Why don't Spiritual Master send a capable person to this sect to invite a capable person here. Who knows, he might be able to subdue this devil."
But Zhou Ting was silent.
Elder Wu thought that he cared about his reputation and tried to persuade him, "Zhenren, suppressing the Devil's Cave is not just a matter of us. The Huanzhen Temple is also a fellow Xuanmen. Is there anything wrong with asking for help?"
Zhou Ting sighed in his heart. How could he not know the logic behind this? It was just that before he left, Zhou Yong hinted to him that if it was not necessary, there was no need to ask for help from other sects.
The reason for this was that the devil's cave was not far from his own sect. It was convenient for them to fight and it was enough for them to have their own cultivators. Secondly, Zhang Yan had consecutively broken two devil's caves. Not long ago, he had recovered the power of the 12 Heavens. Everyone knew of the power of Qincang. Yuxiao school was also one of the three major sects of Xuanmen, so they could not be any weaker. To be able to suppress the devil's cave with one's own strength was proof of one's ability.
After thinking about it repeatedly, he felt that the real devil was a huge threat. If he did not get rid of it soon, not only would he not be able to defend the devil's cave, he would not even be able to defend it, let alone anything else. At this moment, there was no time for him to be overcautious. He said, "Huanzhen Temple has offered to help a few times but was rejected. I'm afraid it may not be what I want."
Elder Wu heard that he was softening his tone and said, "Spiritual Master, you don't have to worry about this. The disciples of Huanzhen Temple take it as their responsibility to subdue the devil. When they heard that the real devil has appeared, they will not ignore it. If we can do it, it's okay to suffer some grievances. "
Zhou Ting nodded, "That's the only way. He looked at the two people in front of him, who is willing to go?"
Zhou Ying volunteered, "Senior Apprentice-Brother needs to guard the altar. To deal with the devil, Elder Wu has to be here. Why don't I go?"
Zhou Ting said, "Alright, I'll leave everything to you."
He took out another talisman and said, "This is a Spirit Travelling Talisman given by Senior Apprentice-Brother. When you use it, you need to burn incense and pray. Take it with you."
Zhou Ying took it and kept it. He took a few steps back and bowed, "Senior Apprentice-Brother, don't worry. I'll be back soon."
He got down from the altar and flew outside. He was afraid that he would be intercepted by the cultivators of the Devil's Doctrine, so he did not dare to be ostentatious. He stayed close to the ground and sneaked out of the Mountain Realm. Only then did he light up the incense and put on the talisman. He turned into a stream of light and flew towards the northwest direction.
Half a day later, the spiritual light of the talisman dispersed and he appeared. He looked up and saw that he was not far from the Demon Subduing Mountain where the mountain gate of Huanzhen Temple was. He gathered his mana and ran towards that direction with all his might.
After a while, a ray of light came and stopped him. An old man with grey beard came out and shouted at him, "Who are you? The mountain gate of Huanzhen Temple is in front of us. Stop immediately! "
Zhou Ying looked at him and guessed that he was the patrolling elder who was guarding this place. He bowed and said, "I'm Yuxiao Zhou Ying. I've returned to your temple because I have an important matter to discuss with Zhenren Liang."
The old man with grey beard's expression softened and said, "So it's a fellow cultivator from Yuxiao school. Ever since the battle at the Devil's Cave, Zhenren Liang has been cultivating in isolation. He doesn't care about anything anymore. I'm afraid that you won't be able to see him this time."
Zhou Ying was startled and said, "Then I wonder who's in charge now?"
The old man with grey beard said, "Now it's Junior Apprentice-Sister Zhang Zhen who's in charge of everything inside and outside."
Zhou Ying bowed and said, "Can I ask fellow cultivator to pass a message for me?"
The old man with grey beard said, "Unfortunately, the Devil's Cave has appeared. Junior Apprentice-Sister Zhang has been invited by your sect to deal with the cultivators from the Devil's Sect. She hasn't returned yet."
Zhou Ying was anxious. The Devil was strange and unpredictable. The longer it dragged on, the worse it would be. He hoped that he could see Zhang Zhen as soon as possible. He asked, "Is there anyone else in your sect who can take charge?"
The old man with grey beard shook his head and said, "Fellow cultivator, you don't have to worry. I'll pass a message to you later. Why don't you wait in the guesthouse and wait for Junior Apprentice-Sister Zhang to come back?"
Zhou Ying had no choice but to ask for the other person's name. He let the other person arrange for him to go to the guesthouse and settle down. He wanted to meditate but somehow, he felt restless and couldn't calm down.
After waiting for more than two hours, he heard a commotion outside. He pushed the door open and looked around. He saw a carriage of curses coming from outside the mountain, like a cloud crossing the sky, streaking across the sky. Behind it were more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators.
His spirits lifted as he guessed that Zhang Zhen had returned to the mountain. He sat back down and waited for someone to invite him over.
He waited for a long time but no one came to call him. He got impatient and went to the door. He found a Huanzhen disciple and said, "Please tell Elder Pu that Zhou Ying is looking for him."
Not long after, a conveyance light landed in front of the guesthouse. Zhou Ying hurried forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Pu, is Zhenren Zhang from your sect back? Can you bring me down to see her? "
Elder Pu smiled and said, "Unfortunately, before you came, there was an important guest who came to visit. Junior Apprentice-Sister Zhang is receiving the guest now, so please wait for a while. How about this, you can tell me first and I'll find a chance to tell Junior Apprentice-Sister Zhang. "
Zhou Ying was dissatisfied. As a Yuxiao cultivator and someone who had cultivated Yuanying Dharmakaya, he had never been treated this badly. What kind of guest was so important? If it was any other time, he would have left in a huff. But now that he had a favor to ask, he had no choice. He thought that this matter could not be delayed any longer and told the whole story.
Hearing this, Elder Pu was also shocked, "True demon? Why didn't you say so earlier? "
As a cultivator of Huanzhen Temple, he knew the power of the True Devil. He said seriously, "This needs to be reported immediately, please follow me."
As he said that, he grabbed Zhou Ying's arm and flew into the mountains. Not too far away, they saw a tall mountain towering above the clouds, surrounded by a continuous chain of temples, wandering amidst the sea of clouds. The scenery was extremely beautiful, but the two of them were not in the mood to admire it. After landing in front of the temple, Elder Pu went in first, and not long after, a disciple came out to invite Zhou Ying into the temple.
He followed the disciple into the hall and saw a woman in white sitting in the hall. Beside her was a crane with a coiled neck. On the guest seat sat an elegant woman. The two of them seemed to be talking. He glanced at them but didn't recognize them.
When they reached the steps of the hall, he bowed and said, "Yuxiao Zhou Ying greets Zhenren Zhang."
Zhang San looked down at him for a while, then said, "When Elder Pu said that Fellow Daoist from Jade Heaven Sect had encountered the True Devil, I didn't believe it at first. But after seeing Fellow Daoist Zhou, I can confirm that it's true."
Zhou Ying was shocked, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Zhen said, "Daoist Zhou's heart was invaded by the Demonic Qi and was deeply poisoned. That was the True Devil's method."
