On the Spirit Huan Sect's side, they had already made all the necessary preparations and were only waiting for Lu Qingshan's arrival.
On Lu Qingshan's side, he had never been a procrastinator.
Therefore, after meeting Ximen Lie and understanding the specific situation, the two hit it off and quietly left the Spirit Huan Sect on the same day.
.....
Rumble!
On the plateau above Sichuan, the mighty waters of the Cang Bu River flowed past, stirring up layers of powerful waves.
The thunderous roar of the river rang out continuously in the Spirit Huan Sect, but it seemed somewhat inconspicuous under the cover of the rising and falling beast roars.
Just as Lu Qingshan arrived at the Spirit Huan Sect, south of the mighty Cang Bu River, a pair of huge and narrow eyes slowly opened in the abyss on the southern bank, looking at the Flying Tiger Peak on the other side of the river.
The eyes contained the sun and the moon, as deep as the abyss.
"I see you again."
"I've already saved you once before. This is your fortune."
"When the time comes, the heavens and the earth will work together. When fortune leaves, the hero will not be free …"
"I can't save you twice, even if you are mine …"
"But it's good. I can verify whether you are the person of great fortune in this world. I hope you won't disappoint me …"
After a long time, such murmurs came from the abyss.
.....
.....
Lu Qingshan first went to the Zhishou Building in the Central Spirit Region.
Although he had temporarily "parted ways" with Dantai Qingrun after the previous operation against the Hades had come to an end.
But considering the possible consequences, Dantai Qingrun also very considerately gave Lu Qingshan a keepsake.
With the keepsake, even if she did not personally appear, Lu Qingshan could meet the higher-ups of the Zhishou Building directly, saving him a lot of trouble.
After meeting the higher-ups of the Zhishou Building, Lu Qingshan was able to follow the Zhishou Building team to Hanzhou after a brief communication with them based on his reputation and keepsake.
As for Ximen Lie, he disguised himself as an ordinary Zhishou Building cultivator and hid in the team to protect Lu Qingshan.
Hanzhou was a small province in the northern part of the Central Spirit Region.
As its name suggested, it was a province with biting cold winds. The cold air seemed to squeeze into one's lungs, making one feel cold all over.
It was a snowy mountain range and ice and snow wilderness that stretched for nearly ten thousand miles all year round. There were also countless ferocious demon beasts on the ice plains. It was a place that was rarely visited by humans..
It was also because there were few people here that the resources here were not wantonly exploited, so it was abnormally rich.
Back then, Da Xia Kingdom valued the abundant spiritual materials on the snowy plains and built the human capital city.
Peace Prefecture was a very inconspicuous prefecture in Han Zhou.
The Prefecture's name was Peace Prefecture's was not too deep.
However, when Han Zhou was just established, not many people were willing to come to such a dangerous and barren place to "develop wastelands and help the poor".
The Marquis of Anping was one of the few Da Xia Kingdom cultivators who took the initiative to build Hanzhou.
After hundreds of years of painstaking effort, he finally allowed the humans of the prefecture to gain a foothold in this dangerous place.
Later, in order to commemorate his great achievements, the humans of Anping Prefecture named the prefecture after the Marquis of Anping.
.....
Three days later, the army arrived at the designated area.
The Zhishou Building cultivators began to secretly set up an encirclement.
Lu Qingshan was very experienced in dealing with the Hades branch, even if he did not count his previous life's experience.
However, when he really arrived at this place, he could not help but feel a little surprised in his heart.
Because the Hades branch was actually hidden in a desolate snowy peak.
"The Hades branch's location is so secretive. How did your sect find it?" Lu Qingshan could not help but ask Ximen Lie.
Other than asking out of surprise, the main reason was that in his previous life, the Hades branch of the Central Spirit Region had been hidden too well and had never been discovered.
But this time, the Spirit Huan Sect was able to change the original course of history and had made a new discovery. This made him ponder on it all the way.
Of course, in Lu Qingshan's opinion, this was definitely a part of the butterfly effect.
This meant that with his intervention, the development of the plot was moving in a good direction.
However, he was curious about which part of the process had changed to allow the Spirit Huan Sect to have such a breakthrough. Also, was there a trace of this breakthrough that could be replicated?
Hearing this question, Ximen Lie fell silent for a moment. His expression changed slightly, and he finally said slowly, "As one of the participants of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion, you should be very clear about the details of what happened, right?"
"Are you referring to …" Lu Qing paused, and said in a low voice, "The matter of your sect's Sect Master Changgeng?"
Back then, the Da Xia Kingdom had joined forces with the Seven Great Sects and a hundred top sects to organize the Seven Regions Dao Discussion. The purpose of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion was to select the genius cultivators of the Human Clan and search for the best.
In order to interfere with the Seven Regions Dao Discussion, the Hades branch sent people to cause trouble secretly. In the end, they fell into the Heavenly Secrets Temple's Lord's trap and suffered heavy losses.
They even caught a human spy with an extremely high status — the Spirit Huan Sect's Sect Master Changgeng.
Ximen Lie nodded silently.
"The exposure of the Hades branch's location has something to do with Sect Master Changgeng?" Lu Qingshan quickly understood the meaning behind Ximen Lie's words.
"Indeed," said Ximen Lie.
"However," Lu Qingshan quickly discovered something illogical, "hasn't it been more than three years since Sect Master Changgeng's identity was exposed? Why did it take until now … "
If he remembered correctly, after Sect Master Changgeng's identity was exposed, he was escorted to the Spirit Huan Sect by the Heavenly Secrets Temple's Lord.
Later on, he had asked his master about the Spirit Huan Sect's subsequent actions.
The news he received was that on the day the Heavenly Secrets Temple's Lord escorted Sect Master Changgeng to the Spirit Huan Sect, the Spirit Huan Sect did not have any private grudges that could not be aired. They chose to put righteousness before family.
They publicly executed Sect Master Changgeng in front of most of the sect's high-level cultivators and thousands of inner sect disciples.
The Heavenly Secrets Temple's Lord personally observed the execution from the side.
Under the watchful eyes of this Spirit Cultivator with an exceedingly high cultivation base, there was no possibility of any underhanded means.
It could be said that the Spirit Huan Sect's Sect Master Changgeng was deader than dead at that time.
Then, why would there be a new chapter in the Sect Master Changgeng's matter three years later?
"Not all cultivators who have colluded with the Hades are necessarily from the Hades." Seeing Lu Qingshan's confusion, Ximen Lie patiently explained, "There are also some cultivators who merely have a cooperative relationship with the Hades.
They reveal some 'small' information to the Hades that they think will not affect them much, or help the Hades do some 'small' things in exchange for huge benefits. "
At this point, Ximen Lie's voice became even heavier and more solemn. "Sect Master Changgeng belongs to this type of person. He is not a cultivator of the Underworld and does not have a direct subordinate relationship with the cultivators of the Underworld.
However, he revealed a lot of information to the Hades and did some things for the Hades in exchange for a lot of resources. As a result, his cultivation base continued to improve. In the end, he even became one of the three great sect masters of the sect.
According to him, his relationship with the Hades is merely a cooperative one.
However, in our opinion, his actions are even more hateful than the Hades cultivators. "
"That's because the Hades cultivators are at least completely evil. They know that they are not good people.
On the other hand, people like Sect Master Changgeng are both righteous and upright. On the surface, they deceive themselves that they are still human cultivators. However, behind their backs, the harm they cause to the human race is far greater than the former kind of people. "
At the mention of the sect's downfall, this great cultivator of the Spirit Huan Sect did not seem to be afraid at all. He appeared extremely magnanimous and even wantonly criticized the former sect master.
This made Lu Qingshan look at the Spirit Huan Sect in a new light. Making mistakes was not terrible. What was terrible was not daring to face their mistakes, but choosing to deceive themselves and others.
Since they had the courage to face their mistakes, they would be able to learn from their mistakes and become stronger after the pain.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons why the Spirit Huan Sect's reputation had grown stronger and stronger in the past twenty thousand years.
"At that time, our sect chose to punish him on the spot to show that our sect has a zero-tolerance attitude towards colluding with the Demons."
Ximen Lie continued, "After that, this matter was not over. Because there must be a leader and a tail left behind for those who took action.
Therefore, we carefully reviewed Sect Master Changgeng's life and examined the clues.
After the investigation, we discovered that Sect Master Changgeng came to Han Province's Peace Prefecture because of a sect mission. After returning to the sect, he suddenly began to rise.
It was obvious that there must be something fishy going on.
Following this lead, we sent people to follow him. Using the mission he carried out as a clue, we followed him all the way in Peace Prefecture. In the end, we discovered the location of the Hades branch. "
"Of course, the Hades branch here can only be said to be the first Hades branch to come into contact with Sect Master Changgeng.
After that, he must have come into contact with the real upper echelons of Hades.
After all, for him to become an existence at the level of our sect master, it is not something a small branch of Hades branch can do.
Unfortunately, the clues after that were all a mess. We didn't know where to start.
Although our Spirit Huan Sect has not given up on the investigation, we are well aware that there is a high probability that we will not make any new discoveries in a short period of time.
After that, we are prepared to change our way of thinking and see if we can use this branch of Hades as a breakthrough point … "
So that's how it is …
After understanding the specific situation, Lu Qingshan could not help but fall into deep thought.
From the looks of it, it should be because the Western Rat King discovered Shura's figure in Dao Debate City, which led to the exposure of Sect Master Changgeng and the subsequent chain of events.
In this case, in terms of the war between the Humans and Demons, the development of the plot was more like a snowball — a good thing led to the appearance of another good thing, and then slowly grew bigger. It was not like the repeated jumps he had been worried about — a good thing that should not have happened led to the appearance of another bad thing that should not have existed.
This undoubtedly gave him more confidence.
.....
On the other side, the encirclement of the Zhishou Building cultivators had been completely set up silently.
"Move!" After confirming that there was no doubt, the leader of this group of cultivators shouted in a low voice.
In the next instant, spiritual light shone brightly. With the snowy peak where Hades was located as the center, a layer of ripple-like spiritual light turned into a boundary. Like an inverted jade bowl, it enveloped the entire snowy peak, forming a sealed space.
This was a No-Fly Boundary. Its function was to isolate the space transportation nodes within the boundary.
This barrier was specifically targeted at Teleportation Formations because only Teleportation Formations' spatial teleportation power used nodes as a basis for teleportation.
This snowy peak had always been deserted. If people came and went all year round, it would be extremely easy to be exposed. Hence, there must be a Teleportation Formation in this branch of Hades for them to pass through.
This was Zhishou Building's judgment.
Then, a layer of dark light screen appeared almost at the same time as the No-Fly Boundary. It covered the previous boundary, and the two overlapped.
Three Zhishou Building cultivators sat within, maintaining the existence of this layer of dark light screen.
The Evernight Boundary was a large-scale group suppression boundary.
Once the two boundaries were formed, the other Zhishou Building cultivators, including Lu Qingshan, all rushed into the boundary.
They were prepared to cooperate with the boundary's suppression power to search for and kill the Hades cultivators hidden in the snowy peak's belly.
In just a few breaths' time.
Explosions sounded one after another. One by one, the figures of the Hades cultivators rushed out of the belly of the mountain. They looked at Lu Qingshan and the others, who had suddenly launched an attack, with shock on their faces.
The Zhishou Building cultivators, on the other hand, did not give the Hades cultivators too much time to react. With piercing killing intent, they attacked the Hades cultivators who were caught off guard.
The situation was one-sided.
After only a few dozen breaths, more than thirty percent of the Hades cultivators were dead or injured.
Rumble!
At this moment, a terrifying sound that shook the mountains suddenly rang out.
Lu Qingshan, who had not yet made a move, instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
In the belly of the mountain, five snake necks that were a thousand feet long poked out.
Above the snake necks were five huge inverted triangular snake heads. Their heads were as big as towers and their eyes were like millstones. They looked extremely ferocious.
The five snake necks intertwined with each other and danced.
Black snake saliva dripped continuously from their mouths. It was extremely smelly. Once it landed on the ground, it would sizzle and corrode a huge hole.
This was a demonic beast reared by the Hades cultivators. It was a mutated ferocious beast at the peak of the Fifth Stage. It was abnormally powerful.
If it was allowed to wreak havoc for a moment, it would definitely cause many casualties to the cultivators of the Zhishou Building.
The Divine Transformation cultivator who was the leader of this group had been controlling the situation from the side. Now that he saw this scene, he quickly made this judgment in his heart.
With a thought, he formed a spell with his hands and condensed a handprint. He was about to cast a spell to destroy this demonic beast.
But just as he was about to cast the spell, a wave of destructive intent that was so piercing that it made him feel a little frightened suddenly appeared. It was incomparably swift.
The True Meaning of Destruction was an offensive True Meaning of Origin.
A flash of sword light that was one step faster than his spell, or even two steps was not an exaggeration. It violently shot towards the demonic snake beast that had not yet fully emerged.
The sword light was as sharp as cutting melons and vegetables. It directly pierced through one of the snake heads and then disappeared.
After a short moment of silence, thousands of sword lights and Sword Qi exploded from the five snake heads and five snake necks of the demonic snake beast.
The strong physical body of the demonic beast and the various strange abilities of the Demons did not have any effect in the face of this sword that contained the True Meaning of Destruction.
Immediately, the huge body of the demonic snake beast disintegrated into countless small pieces of flesh and blood. They exploded in the air, forming balls of flesh and blood fireworks. It was extremely spectacular.
What a ruthless sword!
What a fast sword cultivator!
The Divine Transformation cultivator of the Zhishou Building silently put away the spell that he had cast halfway and sighed in his heart.
