Chapter 152 One Year Later
Winter goes and spring comes.
The rumors unfavorable to Fenxiang Valley did not dissipate with the departure of winter, but instead intensified.
In March, Lu Xueqi from Qingyun Sect, Fashang from Tianyin Temple and others were entrusted by the sect to go to Southern Xinjiang to investigate the matter in an attempt to clear the name of Fenxiang Valley.
Embarrassingly, the group followed the previous clues and successfully found the cave where the Beast God was born. They also found the remains of the Eight Evil Mysterious Fire Formation.
What was even more coincidental was that they were still in the cave and encountered the disciples of Fenxiang Valley who were about to destroy the magic circle.
Now,
The Fenxiang Valley, which was already unclear, could not be cleared even if it jumped into the Yellow River.
Reputation ruined.
It was under such circumstances that the Demon Cult entrenched in the southwest, under the command of its deputy leader, the Ghost King, began to extend its tentacles into the southern territory that originally belonged to the sphere of influence of the Fenxiang Valley.
Sparks flew between the forces of good and evil once again, and a small-scale fight broke out.
The seeds of hatred sprouted again.
The difference is that, because Fenxiang Valley colluded with Nanjiang and tarnished its own reputation, facing the aggressiveness of the Demon Cult, this time, no righteous people stood up to "uphold justice."
The lack of unity among the righteous is also somewhat related to the Qingyun Sect and the Tianyin Temple.
Ever since the battle at Qingyun Mountain, the head of Qingyun Sect, Taoist Master Daoxuan, has been in seclusion to recuperate. The affairs of the sect are handled by his disciple Xiao Yicai, who naturally puts defense first.
Tianyin Temple is not far behind.
After the battle with the Beast God, Master Puhong felt that his Buddhist practice was lagging behind, so he planned to retreat behind the scenes to study Buddhism, and hand over the affairs of the sect to his favorite disciple Fashang.
The younger generation is beginning to step onto the big stage and take on important responsibilities.
Due to the "silence" of the two righteous giants, it is naturally impossible for the righteous people who already have resentment and anger towards Fenxiang Valley to unite.
Go fight for Fenxiang Valley.
For the next six months, the South became a troubled place.
Fights of all sizes continued.
The Demon Cult's forceful invasion of the south will not only damage the interests of Fenxiang Valley, but also threaten all the large and small sects active in the south.
It’s a pity that how can they, who are scattered, stop an unprecedentedly united evil cult?
Almost every month a sect was destroyed and the Lingshan mine was occupied.
Among them, the players and disciples of the Demon Sect played the role of "vanguard", always rushing to the front line to fight for resources, legends, and sect rewards.
Setting off wave after wave of killing sprees.
People like Wei Tianli, Li Feng and others have become the rising stars of the Demon Cult.
Very eye-catching.
The Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao skills used by Wei Tianli and Li Feng were gradually revealed in the eyes of experts, sowing another seed for future unrest.
…
Death Swamp, Neize.
It was late autumn now, everything was withering and the scene was bleak and desolate.
Neize, which is already sparsely populated, looks even more desolate at this moment, with not even a ghost to be seen.
About twenty miles away from the giant tree, there is a small black pool. The water in the pool is as black as ink and as sticky as mud, emitting a foul odor. The surface of the water is shrouded in dark green miasma all year round, and no sunlight can be seen.
Giant white bones were scattered around the black pool, with small red flowers growing in the gaps between the bones.
Very gorgeous.
This is a deadly place and a desolate land in the Death Swamp, and it is also the place with the most concentrated miasma in the inner swamp. No matter what level of cultivation a monster has, once it accidentally enters this pool, it will be immediately poisoned to death by the miasma.
Then the corpse slid to the bottom of the pool and was corroded by the black mud, leaving not even a bone residue.
At this moment, big black bubbles began to emerge from the surface of the black pool. A smooth head rose up in the gurgling sound. It was Qin Mo who was refining his body at the bottom of the pool.
Ninety-nine and eighty-one days are complete.
Qin Mo was wearing nothing, but his skin was as smooth as jade and crystal clear in the mud.
Out of tune with the surrounding environment.
After flying out of the black pool, Qin Mo hovered in the air, took out clothes from the dimensional space and put them on. He seemed to be alive again and full of energy.
Thinking of the 81 days I spent at the bottom of the pool, I still feel a lingering fear.
At the bottom of the pool, there was poisonous gas and miasma everywhere, which seeped into his blood through his pores and then flowed into his internal organs, turning him into a poisonous person.
Green from inside to outside.
Under the erosion of the poison, the internal organs first turned black and then rotted.
It was almost like a mad test on the brink of death.
Fortunately, with the help of the secret methods and secret medicines recorded in "Eight-Nine Profound Art", Qin Mo managed to hold on. His damaged internal organs grew back and became more vibrant, and he was immune to all poisons.
Then the flesh and blood all over the body appeared, as if it was reborn.
By doing this, he was able to break down and then rebuild, and finally successfully passed the wood tribulation of the five elements and developed a body that was immune to all poisons.
Qin Mo continued to breathe in the surrounding miasma, and it was like playing, with no side effects at all.
Ordinary poisons have no effect on him.
After everything was ready, a sword appeared out of thin air in Qin Mo's right hand. It seemed to be made of pure energy, and the sword body was as red as blood.
It was the Chixiao Sword that had been completely refined.
In terms of quality, it is not inferior to the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and is even better.
Because the Chixiao Sword was refined into a sword pill by Qin Mo, it can be hidden in the Dantian and summoned in any form. It can be a complete physical flying sword or just a sword light.
The former is for close combat, while the latter is for long-range attack.
The transformations are endless and the uses are extraordinary.
With Qin Mo's soul, he can control the light of the Chixiao sword and take the enemy's head from ten thousand meters away.
Very BUG.
This is a real flying sword. When his body and sword are combined, Qin Mo can even temporarily merge with the sword light and travel through the nine heavens and underworld unhindered.
Qin Mo swung the Chixiao sword towards the sky, and a dazzling sword light shot out, soaring into the sky.
It seems to be sending a signal.
After a while, bursts of beast roars were heard in the distance, and the sound of a phoenix could be faintly heard in the air.
The earth began to shake violently, and the ferocious beasts, big and small, living in Nei Ze ran around wildly as if facing a great enemy. Then, four super ferocious beasts were seen gathering towards Qin Mo from four directions.
They were the yellow bird, black water snake, candle dragon and Taotie that he had released.
For cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, the Death Swamp, especially the terrifying Inner Swamp, may be a deadly place full of dangers, but for the four ancient ferocious beasts, it is no different from their own back garden.
Playground.
Relying on Nei Ze's unique advantages, the four ancient ferocious beasts prey on other ferocious beasts every day and swallow exotic flowers, herbs, fruits and plants that are difficult for ordinary cultivators to see.
The demonic power that had been drained due to the activation of the Four Spirits Demon Formation was slowly recovering.
There are those who like to flatter, such as the Black Water Mystic Snake, who from time to time look for spiritual herbs and minerals and present them to their master Qin Mo in exchange for one or two pills refined by Qin Mo.
The Fulong Ding itself can be used to make elixirs.
Nei Ze was filled with spiritual herbs. In his spare time, Qin Mo didn't mind refining pills. Among them was a pill that was very suitable for ferocious beasts to take - the Yuling Pill.
This is the elixir that is specially used by the major sects in the Earthly Immortal World to feed the spiritual beasts raised within the sect.
It helps the spiritual beast to advance.
The four ferocious beasts all have the blood of ancient ferocious beasts and have extraordinary potential. The ones like Zhulong and Taotie are even more like dragons and have the opportunity to evolve into real dragons in the future.
That's awesome.
The yellow bird has a trace of phoenix blood, which is just as great.
In comparison, the Black Water Serpent is a little inferior. Among the four ferocious beasts, it has always been ranked as the "short, poor and ugly", so naturally it knows how to flatter its master better.
“It’s time to go!”
Qin Mo put away Zhulong, Black Water Snake, and Taotie, rode the yellow bird, and flew towards Fox Mountain.
…
It was a year later .
As soon as he landed at the foot of the mountain, Qin Mo clearly felt that Fox Mountain was more lively than before. There were new faces coming and going everywhere. When they saw Qin Mo, many people didn't recognize him. Only after being reminded by others did they hurriedly salute.
Qin Mo nodded lightly and went into the mountain.
The head of the Ghost King Sect, Gui Li, was currently leading his troops to fight outside, while the deputy leader, the Ghost King, was in charge. Huqi Mountain was both the headquarters of the Ghost King Sect and the temporary headquarters of the Demon Cult, so it was more lively than other places.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two entered the quiet room.
"How is the layout of Fenxiang Valley going?" Qin Mo asked as he sat down.
The Ghost King was in a good mood as well, and said with a smile: "In this year, we have conquered all the small sects in the south, including the outposts outside Fenxiang Valley. The only tough nut left is Fenxiang Valley."
"With all the fuss going on, has that old fox Yun Yilan come out?"
This is what Qin Mo is most worried about. After all, Yun Yilan is also a strong man in the Spiritualization Stage. Apart from Qin Mo, a freak, only those of a different realm can rival him.
Even if one practices like the Ghost King, it will not work without the Fulong Ding.
"No. Fenxiang Valley did send out several elders to assist the southern sects in resisting the attacks of the Holy Church, including Shangguan Ce, but they returned empty-handed every time. One of the elders was even killed by the Azure Dragon Protector in a fight. Even so, Yun Yilan did not take any action." The Ghost King laughed.
"This old fox."
Qin Mo guessed that Yun Yilan didn't dare to take action, probably because he was on guard against him.
Although his cultivation level was only at the late Nascent Soul stage, he actually killed the Beast God. With Yun Yilan's cultivation level at the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation stage, he might be too cautious.
The higher your cultivation level, the more you cherish your life.
Yun Yilan is a typical example. He has finally advanced to the Divine Transformation stage and his lifespan has greatly increased. How could he easily get involved in a fight that he is uncertain of?
Anyway, as long as he is there in Fenxiang Valley, it will not really fall.
"Is there any movement from Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple?" Qin Mo asked again.
"Qingyun Sect?" The Ghost King had a trace of revengeful pleasure on his face, and said with a smile: "We have confirmed that Taoist Master Daoxuan has been possessed by the evil spirit of the Zhuxian Sword. The Qingyun Sect is now unable to take care of itself."
Having said that, the Ghost King looked at Qin Mo deeply.
Qin Mo recovered in just three months using the Zhu Xian Sword . In comparison, one cannot help but admire him. The Ghost King could not guess what other cards Qin Mo held.
"No wonder." Qin Mo understood. He was afraid that another player might be causing trouble. After thinking for a while, he said, "If that's the case, let's prepare for a decisive battle."
"Okay, I'll prepare it right away." The Ghost King trusted Qin Mo very much.
Perhaps, I have been waiting for this day.
"Um."
Qin Mo nodded lightly.
