There were many halls in the Guocheng Temple. Some were big, some were small, some were high, some were low. Some were near the mountains, and some were near the lake.
The Chenhua Hall was located in the west of the backyard. It was secluded and quiet. The scenery here was ordinary, so few people came here. But no one knew that if one sat on the eaves on the left side of the Chenhua Hall, he could see the Tranquil Garden through the two hills in front of him.
At this time, a white cat was squatting on the eaves of the Chenhua Hall. Its long hair was covered with dust. It looked a little embarrassed, but its eyes were full of enjoyment.
Speaking of watching a show, this was the best place.
Looking at the student of the Zhongzhou School in the Tranquil Garden, the white cat stretched out its right paw and licked its sharp claws. Its eyes showed cruelty and bloodthirst.
This Kirin dared to transform and walk in the human world. It was courting death!
There were two divine beasts in the Zhongzhou School, and four Guardians in the Aoyama. In the early years, the two sides competed for status in the Cultivation world, so it was inevitable that there would be many conflicts.
In terms of hatred, the white cat wanted to kill the Old Dragon the most, but it didn't like the Kirin at all.
Three thousand years ago, it joined hands with the Monster Chicken to fight against the Kirin and lost.
It seemed that it could finally take revenge today.
Seeing the Kirin turn around in the Tranquil Garden, it meowed again.
This meow sounded a little lazy, but it actually hid an extremely violent killing intent.
— — If you dare to attack Jing Jiu, I will kill you!
Its pupils suddenly shrank to the size of small beans, revealing a dangerous emotion.
This ugly deer was going to risk its life?
It stood up, stepped on the small stone statue on the eaves, and meowed mournfully in the direction of the Tranquil Garden.
…
…
In the Tranquil Garden.
Qi Ling turned around, looked into Jing Jiu's eyes, and said indifferently, "You're just a cat. What's there to be afraid of?"
Jing Jiu's voice was still calm, as if he was narrating a simple fact. "You transformed, so you're no match for it."
Qi Ling curled his lips and said mockingly, "Years ago, it and the Monster Chicken joined hands, but they were still no match for me."
Jing Jiu said, "If you don't suppress your realm and reveal your true form, you will attract Heavenly Thunder. When that happens, you will die a horrible death."
The Unicorn had the most powerful magic, and his age was almost as long as the Round Turtle's, and his fighting prowess was on par with the Dead Dog's. Besides those figures in the Heavenly Arrival State, nobody among the human Cultivation practitioners could be a match for him. It could be said that he was the being of the highest state in Chaotian, save for the one in the Snowy Kingdom.
The only thing that could threaten him was Tian Fa.
The school rules of Zhongzhou School forbade him from leaving the Cloud Dream Mountain. In fact, in a sense, it was to use the Cloud Dream Formation to conceal his breath.
If he wanted to defeat the White Ghouls, he would have to reveal his true form. By then, as Jing Jiu had said, he would be in great danger.
"If you force me into a corner, I'll take the risk of revealing myself and killing you all. I'll use up my thousand years of cultivation, use my life true treasure to protect myself, and then I'll be able to return to the Central Continent."
Qi Ling's voice was very calm, so it was easy for others to believe that it was true.
"You know I didn't kill the Azure Dragon. Is it worth it to lose a thousand years of your lifespan to kill me?"
Jing Jiu's countenance was still calm, and his voice was devoid of any emotion.
Like the human Cultivation practitioners, the divine animals lived for the purpose of Cultivation and longevity. Once the accumulated Cultivation was lost, one thousand years of life would be in vain.
This was what Jing Jiu meant when he said he would lose a thousand years of his lifespan.
"But it died because of you."
A hint of sorrow showed in the deep end of Qi Ling's eyes again, and a lethal intent arose.
Jing Jiu said calmly while staring into his eyes, "It died because of its own greed."
What he said was the truth; he didn't kill the Azure Dragon.
In the Fiend Prison, he had just learned the Underworld Fairy Sword, and was like a mosquito to the Azure Dragon. He could make the Azure Dragon feel uncomfortable and even painful, but he couldn't do any real harm to it. Even if the King Of The Underworld wished to kill the Azure Dragon, she would have to employ a method to merge with the spiritual soul of the Azure Dragon, and then die together with it.
The divine animals like the Unicorn and the Azure Dragon had natural divine bodies that were almost indestructible.
If the Azure Dragon hadn't been so greedy that he wanted to eat Jing Jiu and the King Of The Underworld, he wouldn't have been able to be killed.
"And don't you know the evil deeds the Azure Dragon has done in the Fiend Prison? Do you want me to tell you now? "Jing Jiu said with a nonchalant expression.
Qi Ling said sharply, "Shut up. No matter how eloquent you are, you will die today for sure!"
As he said this, the energy from the ancient times enshrouded the Tranquil Garden again. This time, the lethal intent contained in the energy was more intense and tangible.
Bai Qianjun, Xi Yiyun and the Monk Dachang couldn't stand still anymore. They sat down on the ground with their legs crossed and employed the Zhen Yuan Zen method to protect their Sea of Awareness, closing their eyes.
Duke Lu had already fallen to the ground.
Staring at the ground, Zhuo Rusui's clothes were soaked with cold sweat again. "Young Senior Master is the treasure of our Aoyama, much more precious than me. You killed him like this; aren't you afraid of the consequences?!" he yelled sternly.
A being like the Unicorn was too formidable for a young disciple like Zhuo Rusui. If he hadn't seen the Round Turtle so often and gotten used to it, he wouldn't have spoken at all.
The Aoyama often killed people, but rarely threatened anyone. If it happened once in a while, it must be serious.
The meowing of a cat could be heard in the distance, sounding extremely dreadful.
Qi Ling lifted his head to look at the sky, a hint of tiredness showing in his eyes.
Tens of thousands of years ago in Chaotian, the Zhongzhou School and the Aoyama Sect didn't exist yet. At the time, he and the Old Dragon traveled across the mountains and seas, killing and eating whoever they wanted to.
Under such circumstances, he would swallow Jing Jiu whole even though the White Ghost was watching from a distance. He didn't care about the war between the Aoyama Sect and the Zhongzhou School.
The lives would be plunged into misery and suffering. Those who died were humans, so it had nothing to do with him.
He pulled back his gaze and looked at Jing Jiu, saying calmly, "It looks like it'll be hard to kill you today."
Jing Jiu said, "Yes."
Qi Ling said, "I won't leave like this. You have to pay the price for what you have done. At least, you can't keep the Fairy Book any longer."
It seemed that the Zhongzhou School had already found out something. Even though they didn't have any evidence, they were convinced that the turmoil in the Fiend Prison was caused by Jing Jiu.
Under the circumstances, it was unacceptable for the Zhongzhou School to let Jing Jiu keep the Fairy Book of Longevity.
He made this request on behalf of the Zhongzhou School. Though it was not a reasonable request, it was nevertheless reasonable.
Duke Lu and the others opened their eyes and looked at Jing Jiu, wondering if he would agree to the request.
Jing Jiu said, "You have said so much. In fact, this is the purpose of your visit today."
If the Unicorn really wanted to kill him, why would he reveal his identity in the Guocheng Temple?
The purpose of the Zhongzhou School was to make use of the Fiend Prison to disrupt the final process of tempering the Fairy Book.
Qi Ling said, "In the Illusionary Realm of the Green Sky Mirror, the process of you obtaining the Fairy Book was improper and against the rules. Even though we didn't say anything, it doesn't mean we won't talk forever."
What Jing Jiu wanted to know was why the Zhongzhou School didn't show up until today, though it had been six years since the event, and he had tempered most of the fairy awareness in the Fairy Book.
It wasn't until now that Jing Jiu had figured out the reason why the Unicorn showed up.
The Fairy Book of Longevity would be tempered soon, and it would probably be done tonight. This was the most crucial moment.
If the process was disturbed or even interrupted, he would most likely be attacked by the remaining fairy awareness in the Fairy Book, and he might even die right away.
What the Unicorn intended to do was to kill Jing Jiu to avenge the Old Dragon, but in fact, he intended to disturb Jing Jiu's mental state, and his ultimate goal was to kill Jing Jiu.
Being controlled by the fairy awareness was no different from death; it was even worse.
Though it seemed to be a roundabout way, if he died in the process of tempering the Fairy Book tonight, the whole event would have nothing to do with the Unicorn.
Nobody was willing to wage an all-out war against the Aoyama Sect, not even the Zhongzhou School, which was known as the leader of the orthodox Cultivation sects.
The Unicorn had a plan to interrupt the process of tempering the Fairy Book.
Jing Jiu didn't want to waste too much time at the beginning, so he asked directly, "What is the right way?"
Qi Ling said nonchalantly, "As long as you can prove that you have a strength far superior to your peers, this old man will admit that you are qualified to obtain the Fairy Book."
Jing Jiu asked calmly, "How can I prove it?"
Qi Ling said, "I'll suppress my Cultivation state to the Yuanying State, and you'll use your flying sword to withstand three strikes from me. As long as you survive, you'll win."
Zhuo Rusui's gloomy voice rang out, "You're really shameless."
Xi Yiyun opened his eyes and said angrily, "It's a false accusation if you don't have any proof. This fight is bullying the weak. I object to it!"
A cultivator in the Yuanying State had a slight advantage over a cultivator in the middle state of the Free Travel, and he only needed to withstand three strikes. It seemed fair. However, the Unicorn was born with a godly body that was indestructible, and his strength could shake the heavens. The human Cultivation practitioners were no match for him, so this fight was not fair at all.
The crowd thought that Jing Jiu wouldn't accept it, and it was the truth. "I'm not stupid," Jing Jiu said earnestly while staring at Qi Ling.
Qi Ling said icily, "I believe that you don't want to push me to the last step. This is my last condition."
Jing Jiu said, "I want benefits."
The expression in Qi Ling's eyes changed slightly, as he thought that the Immortal guessed that this person was the reincarnation of Jingyang, but it didn't seem like it …
Jing Jiu didn't know what was on Qi Ling's mind, as he said, "The Zhongzhou School wants to lend me the Green Sky Mirror. I'd like to enter the Illusionary Realm to study it again."
After the Dao Competition, Bai Zhenren didn't summon Qing 'er for questioning, but she had seen many things that had happened in the Green Sky Mirror.
The phrase "the bright sun" was the most suitable one in the Illusionary Realm of the Green Sky Mirror.
The Unicorn thought that he had guessed Jing Jiu's intention, flashing a cruel smile as he said, "Okay."
Even if he didn't use his full strength, he could still wound Jing Jiu severely. If Jing Jiu was attacked by the Fairy Book, he would become a dead person, or a living dead person. By then, it would be useless even if he lent the Green Sky Mirror to Jing Jiu after it was sealed in ice. Would Jing Jiu still be able to see it?
Jing Jiu didn't say anything more. He stood sideways and put his left hand holding the Fairy Book behind his back, and drew out the iron sword from behind his shoulder with his right hand, pointing it straight at Qi Ling.
Seeing this, the crowd was stunned speechless.
He had actually accepted the condition!
Taking three blows from the Unicorn head-on was a sure death!
Monk Duhai intended to stop him, but Qi Ling stopped him with a sneer.
He looked at Jing Jiu and said earnestly, "You're an interesting junior, but I won't let you win."
Zhuo Rusui was stunned, thinking that though it was the style of the Aoyama Sect to wield the sword when encountering a powerful foe, it was not the style of the Young Senior Master!
Seeing Jing Jiu holding the sword in a graceful manner and thinking of the scene where Jing Jiu was lying in a pool of blood, Zhuo Rusui yelled out with his blood boiling.
