At this moment in the hall, Wu Xiang, who was trapped by the inner demon, suddenly recalled his past. Only then did he understand why he had unknowingly fallen into his opponent's trap. He was afraid that the inner demon had already been born when his master had injured him.
As a result, he had been bewitched by his master to use evil techniques. Although he had successfully transformed himself into a human, the price was that his past memories had been secretly sealed by his master. He didn't even know about it, as if he had never had them.
"From now on, you are my chief disciple. You can't judge others based on your appearance, and you can't compare yourself to them because of your appearance. Your Dharma name is Wu Xiang. Do you understand?"
He recalled his master's advice when he had just entered the sect, but in the end, he had still been too shameless.
"Master, I was really wrong."
Wu Xiang ignored the surrounding black fog and whispered with his hands in front of his chest.
Under the sudden impact of the deliberately hidden memories, it was as if he had really seen through everything. All things were equal.
"Boom!"
A huge Buddha light bloomed from Wu Xiang's body. The black fog seemed to have met its nemesis and melted under the golden light.
"How is it possible! What happened in the nine-story pagoda? "
The inner demon was surprised and puzzled. He looked at the nine-story pagoda floating in the air, and a golden light bloomed in the middle.
"So it's them. Demon Fate Rising!"
The inner demon didn't ask Wu Xiang, who had sped up his escape. He slapped his hand down, and instantly, black patterns rose from below. The next moment, a black light flashed, and an intense black light burst out.
When the black light dissipated, the nine-story pagoda disappeared together with it. Only the golden pagoda shadow continued to suppress the hole below.
"This time, I will turn you into ashes," Wu Xiang said calmly.
However, there was no anger in his eyes. He didn't even care about the disappearance of the nine-story pagoda.
"So what? I have already prepared for it," the inner demon said fiercely with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Now that you have lost a lot of your cultivation, I advise you to protect yourself as soon as possible."
"Demon Slayer Formation!"
Wu Xiang didn't even look at the inner demon and said indifferently.
As soon as his voice fell, the four incomparably huge Buddha statues, which were originally in various postures, stood up one after another. Their palms, which were originally without any weapons, had Buddhist instruments in them. At the same time, they pointed at the hall below.
Four incomparably huge golden lights instantly enveloped the hall, and a huge amount of Buddhist power shrouded the place.
"Boundless Demonic Sea!"
A huge amount of Demonic Qi also erupted from inside.
.....
At the same time, Gu Zheng's final vision focused on the plain kasaya. Gu Zheng had seen it in Formless's room, hanging on the same wall as the other expensive kasayas.
However, before he could think about it in detail, he felt his Divine Sense rapidly retracting. Once again, he could feel his body falling down like a bottomless pit.
In a trance, Gu Zheng realized that he was already standing on the ground outside. Feeling someone leaning towards him, Gu Zheng subconsciously supported the other party.
Only then did he realize that it was Xiao Ying, who was still dizzy and hadn't reacted yet.
. "This is the backyard!" Gu Zheng groomed Xiao Ying while looking around. Although it wasn't of much use, it could help her wake up quickly.
Looking at the familiar building, Gu Zheng instantly determined his location.
But the thing that attracted Gu Zheng's attention the most was the four incomparably huge Buddha statues and the house below that was emitting black and golden Qi. Almost all of Gu Zheng's attention was attracted to it.
"Oh, nine-nine-nine-story pagoda!" Xiao Ying, who had just woken up, didn't have the time to reminisce about Grandmaster Wu Xiang's past. She was suddenly stunned by the object in front of her.
A small pagoda was quietly floating behind Gu Zheng. It didn't emit any light at all, and it didn't attract Gu Zheng's attention at all.
Hearing Xiao Ying's words, Gu Zheng turned his head slightly and saw the inconspicuous pagoda.
"Why is Wu Xiang's treasure here?" Gu Zheng exclaimed and let go of Xiao Ying at the same time.
"I don't know, but it seems that there is an intense battle going on over there!" Xiao Ying also saw the incomparably huge Buddha statues and pointed ahead.
However, there were rows of houses in front of them. Gu Zheng didn't know where Xiao Ying was pointing, but he knew that she seemed to be able to sense what the other party was doing. As for him, he could only determine the other party's location based on the movements of the Buddha statues.
"I can't sense any aura. But no matter what, we still have to go to Grandmaster Wu Xiang. This is his Natal Magic Treasure. Without him, our combat power will be greatly reduced." Gu Zheng said as he reached out to grab the pagoda.
When Xiao Ying heard Gu Zheng's words, she turned her head and saw Gu Zheng's actions. She immediately shouted, "Young Master, be careful!"
However, she was a little too late. Gu Zheng's hand was already close to the pagoda.
Gu Zheng was stunned. He didn't know what Xiao Ying knew. He instantly scanned his surroundings, but there was no enemy at all.
However, in the next second, the nine-storey pagoda emitted an intense Buddhist aura, which instantly condensed into a wooden club and rushed towards Gu Zheng's body.
Caught off guard, Gu Zheng's body was instantly sent flying. He smashed several houses in succession before stabilizing his body.
"Crash!"
When Gu Zheng, who was buried under the pagoda, rushed back, he looked at the nine-storey pagoda with an ugly expression. The wooden club was still floating on the top of the pagoda, just like the chime above a wooden fish. He asked Xiao Ying, who was beside him with an embarrassed expression.
He wasn't injured, but this nine-storey pagoda was not controlled by anyone. He didn't provoke it, so how could it react like this?
"How could this be?"
"I asked Grandmaster Wu Xiang to set it up. A few days ago, Grandmaster Wu Xiang taught me how to use the nine-storey pagoda. Then, he asked me to set up some defenses. After a period of time, I would come in contact with it and familiarize myself with it. But how could I have thought that such a thing would happen?" Xiao Ying said with a depressed expression.
"Then what should we do now? If Grandmaster Wu Xiang doesn't have a magic treasure, then it would be terrible. "Xiao Ying was also at a loss. She didn't know what to do next.
"Don't panic. Since Grandmaster Wu Xiang taught you how to use it, can you put away this magic treasure again? At least let us send it back to Wu Xiang. "Gu Zheng said slowly.
"I should be able to. It's just that it will take some time." Xiao Ying said with some lack of confidence.
"Definitely. Relax. I will go outside and take a look. Other people won't hinder you." Gu Zheng gave Xiao Ying an encouraging look, then walked outside.
"I can do it, I can do it!"
Xiao Ying encouraged herself. Thinking about the details that Grandmaster Wu Xiang taught her, she approached the nine-storey pagoda. A Buddhist aura began to flash on her body.
As she waved her small hand, rays of Buddhist aura leaped out from her fingertips and began to revolve around the nine-storey pagoda.
A faint connection appeared in Xiao Ying's mind, making her more confident. She carefully put away the nine-storey pagoda.
At that time, she would need to enter the pagoda to cultivate. Thus, she would need to grasp some control over the pagoda. It would appear that it was still somewhat useful.
Unexpectedly, if she hadn't asked Wu Xiang to cover it up, Gu Zheng would have been dragged away. There would be no need to go through so much trouble.
As Gu Zheng walked outside, he checked his surroundings to see if there were any enemies around.
After looking around, Gu Zheng found that there were no living people in the temple. In fact, there were only some poultry left in the city. There was nothing else.
The entire city was deathly silent.
"Mm? That is! "Gu Zheng had only just appeared at the entrance of the courtyard when a figure under the eaves entered his eyes.
However, as the figure had his back facing him, Gu Zheng was unable to recognize him.
"Start the tea!"
Gu Zheng walked closer and saw that it was the little monk. Why would he be here? Additionally, Gu Zheng found that he was still unable to sense the other party.
At this moment, Gu Zheng discovered that there was a faint black aura on the other party's body. It was the aura of the black water.
Even though it was faint and seemed different from the black water, it should have come from the same place. Gu Zheng recognized it at a glance.
The black water was the source of power that Wen Tianhou had controlled behind the scenes. He had been prepared to assimilate all the people who had devoured the black water at the right time. However, Gu Zheng had forcefully disrupted the situation. In any case, he had failed in the end.
However, there was a similar aura here, which made Gu Zheng feel very strange.
"Start the tea, can you hear me?" Gu Zheng walked in front of Start the tea and saw that the other party was sitting on the ground with his legs curled up and his head buried below.
"Ah, it's Benefactor Gu. I am now the same as Grandmaster Wu Xiang. I have profound Buddhist teachings. I am recruiting disciples!" Start the tea raised his head and smiled foolishly at Gu Zheng.
"Oh no, I fell into an illusion." Gu Zheng knew what was going on at a glance. He stretched out his hand and patted the void in front of him. A golden light instantly entered Start the tea's body.
"Who is it? Who is ruining my plan!" A wisp of black flame was forced out of Start the tea's body. Before it could take shape, it let out an angry roar.
"A mere evil spirit is so rampant. It seems that you don't know how to die!" Gu Zheng grabbed forward and the black aura was immediately sucked into his palm like a bird.
"Damn it, it's a human again. Damn it, damn it!" The voice wailed in the air and was crushed in the palm of Gu Zheng's hand.
A trash who was not even a Celestial Immortal could only rely on Start the tea, who had no cultivation. With a glance, he saw through the other party's fierce appearance and knew that he probably didn't know anything. He directly erased the other party from the world.
"Benefactor Gu, why are you here? Why am I here? Didn't I leave with the last Senior Brother? " After a simple treatment by Gu Zheng, Start the tea recovered his consciousness. When he saw that he was still in the temple, he turned pale with fright.
"You guys still have people here?" Gu Zheng asked.
"The other three Senior Brothers and I were the last to lock the doors of the four Buddha statues." As he said that, Start the tea pointed in the direction of the statue to Gu Zheng. When he saw it, he almost fell to the ground.
"Why, why is there such a big Buddha statue in the sky? Bodhisattva has appeared." As he said that, Start the tea was about to kneel on the ground.
"Now Grandmaster Wu Xiang is fighting with the evil spirit. Hurry up and leave this place. I will save your other Senior Brothers. Do you understand?" Gu Zheng's thunderous voice instilled into the tea party's heart, instantly making him confused.
"I understand. I want to leave this place." Start the tea party said and walked out in a daze.
At this time, Gu Zheng didn't have time to explain to the tea party. He directly used a small spell to drive the tea party out of here so that the tea party wouldn't be affected. He couldn't withstand anything.
Gu Zheng watched the tea party leave. First, he went back to check on Xiao Ying again. After setting up a few simple defenses around her, he went to other places.
Although his Divine Sense was normal, he was afraid that some strange black gas had penetrated this place and completely interfered with the surroundings. Even if Start the tea party returned to normal, he couldn't feel it in his Divine Sense.
Gu Zheng strode toward the hall in the middle. Just a little closer, he could feel two powerful forces entangling inside.
Shaking his head, Gu Zheng dispelled the idea of going in early. The outer layer was the formless Buddha's light, and the inner layer was the formless power of the heart demon. If he wanted to go in, he first had to break the four Buddha statues.
The four Buddha statues had almost no defensive power, but Gu Zheng wasn't so stupid to help them.
Gu Zheng started looking around the temple again. Soon, he found two small monks who were also curled up together in two conspicuous places. They were all possessed by the unorthodox black gas and had fallen into fear or panic.
Gu Zheng went forward and didn't talk nonsense. He quickly eliminated the black gas in the other's body and let them leave the city on their own. Most likely, they would be able to recover their minds after leaving Sandsea City.
However, Gu Zheng circled around the temple and found no trace of the remaining people. There were clearly four people, but he had only saved three.
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw the Buddha statue in the northeast corner of the sky flash slightly. The huge Buddha statue suddenly trembled and then became somewhat blurry, as if it was under attack.
"Oh no!"
Gu Zheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He immediately thought of something. The next moment, his body turned into an afterimage and disappeared.
Directly below the flickering Buddha statue, Gu Zheng's figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.
At this time, a figure covered in black gas was under the statue, holding a steel longsword in one hand and slashing at the Buddha statue.
Although only a small amount of stone fragments fell from the statue each time, the wisps of black gas took the opportunity to invade.
Bang!
The figure continued to fall forward, but a wisp of black gas flashed from the statue, trying to escape. The figure of the monk fell limply to the ground.
A golden light flashed in the sky and hit the wisp of black gas, causing it to dissipate completely.
Gu Zheng noticed it and arrived instantly. In just a breath's time, even if the other party didn't attack a few times, it was a fatal blow to the fragile statue.
"Kacha"
A small sound rang out in the empty hall. Gu Zheng's eyes immediately focused. The damaged part of the Buddha statue had a crack, and it was quickly spreading in all directions.
Small fragments kept falling from the top. It looked like it would collapse soon.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng knew that he couldn't stop it. He grabbed with his hand, and the unconscious monk was instantly sucked out. Otherwise, he would definitely smash the monk to death.
Gu Zheng's hand shook, and the monk, whose life was unknown, was instantly sent flying outside. Gu Zheng then looked up worriedly.
At this time, following the collapse of the Buddha statue below, the corresponding huge Buddha statue above was also collapsing. He didn't know how much of an impact it would have on Wu Xiang.
Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat. The next moment, his figure appeared in the backyard. He saw a joyful Little Ying holding the nine-storey pagoda and walking out, triggering Gu Zheng's alarm array formation.
"Young Master, you came back just in time. I have already successfully kept the nine-storey pagoda." Little Ying saw Gu Zheng and raised the pagoda in her hand like she was presenting a treasure.
"That's good. Now, let's think of a way to send him in." Gu Zheng finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, he immediately felt a headache.
That place was self-contained. There was no way to open it. How could he give it to Grandmaster Wu Xiang?
BOOM!
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out, accompanied by a violent tremor. In Gu Zheng and Little Ying's eyes, the place where Grandmaster Wu Xiang was standing exploded with a bright light. Even the Buddha statue in the sky disappeared at the same time.
After the violent tremor, everything seemed to calm down.
Gu Zheng and Little Ying glanced at each other. They understood that the victor had been decided for the time being.
"Return to the picture scroll!" Gu Zheng took the nine-storey pagoda from Little Ying's hand and solemnly said to Little Ying. His tone was unquestionable.
"En!"
Little Ying also knew that she couldn't help anyone here with her strength. She nodded and rushed into Gu Zheng's embrace.
Only then did Gu Zheng rush over. Soon, he entered the smoke and dust that filled the sky.
At this time, everything in the hall had been turned to dust. Only two figures were left standing there. There was also a dim golden pagoda suppressing the entrance.
Gu Zheng looked at the heavily injured Grandmaster Wu Xiang on the ground and the heart demon that was still standing. He couldn't help being shocked. He hadn't expected Grandmaster Wu Xiang to be defeated by the heart demon.
"Grandmaster Wu Xiang, your magic treasure." Gu Zheng didn't stop. He went to Grandmaster Wu Xiang's side and placed the nine-storey pagoda in his hand. He also helped him up.
As for the heart demon, it looked on coldly. It didn't disturb Gu Zheng. Instead, it sneered.
"I thought you would leave with the nine-storey pagoda. Then I'll have to put in some effort."
"Grandmaster Wu Xiang, are you alright?" Gu Zheng couldn't be bothered to leave the heart demon. In any case, he comforted Grandmaster Wu Xiang. At the same time, he took out a relatively good pill and handed it to Grandmaster Wu Xiang.
"Benefactor Gu, I'm sorry for the previous matter. I was blinded by the heart demon and committed an unforgivable mistake." Grandmaster Wu Xiang said with shame. He didn't refuse Gu Zheng's pill.
Moreover, a layer of light rose from the nine-storey pagoda and slowly connected with Grandmaster Wu Xiang, making his complexion look better.
"It doesn't matter. Aren't you already back? I'll help you to eliminate the heart demon. Everything will return to normal. "Gu Zheng said calmly to Grandmaster Wu Xiang.
"Haha, hahaha, I've heard the best joke. An outsider wants to interfere in other people's affairs. Do you know? You don't know how powerful I am. Even if there were ten of you, you wouldn't be a match for me. So, hurry up and get lost! "
Gu Zheng's words were clearly heard by the inner demon. As if he had heard something funny, the inner demon laughed out loud.
"Benefactor Gu, you're not a match for him. You'd better leave this place quickly." Grandmaster Wu Xiang also said.
"I still have the same words. I swear that I'll definitely help you suppress the evil creature below. I guarantee that I'll fulfill my master's wish. Let this irrelevant person leave quickly and have the final battle with me!" The heart demon stood there and didn't dare to look at Grandmaster Wu Xiang.
"Arrogant, I'll let you know how powerful I am!" Gu Zheng looked at the other party's disdainful eyes. He was annoyed and instantly rushed over.
