Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 125 Undercurrent
When the cultivators and mortals who survived the disaster in Nanhai City were afraid that the evil god would be reborn , they desperately trudged to leave Nanhai City.
Countless cultivators who heard the news gathered madly towards Nanhai City.
To be precise, they gathered in the ruins of Nanhai City.
Flying in the sky, overlooking Nanhai City.
Most of the solid buildings built by Hai Yan were shattered, leaving only ruins. The royal city was cut into countless pieces as if by a sharp weapon, and the remains were smooth and flat.
In the center of the city, there are two terrifying, bottomless pits and countless huge gaps on the surface. Those are the traces left by the terrible sword energy bursting out from the ground. Obviously, a shocking battle also took place underground in Nanhai City.
The remaining true fire was still not extinguished, and several columns of thick smoke rose up, like the gunpowder smoke that filled the battlefield, tragic and desolate.
What is even more shocking is that when you look inward from the outer perimeter of Nanhai City, you can see palm trees that are not afraid of the sun or rain, sword grass that is as hard as iron, pigs, dogs and wild beasts in the courtyard, and even corpses faintly visible in the ruins...
They were all dry without a trace of moisture, as if in an instant, their vitality was drained away and they withered.
The tragic scene they saw frightened countless cultivators who were used to seeing blood and killing.
Practitioners from various major forces continued to arrive, almost overwhelming this devastated city.
The number and quality of cultivators coming and going are incomparable to when Nanhai City was at its most prosperous.
For a time, Silver Demon Ji Ba became notorious.
All kinds of criticisms, denunciations, and tearful accusations flooded the streets, and the cultivation community was in an uproar.
"The devil's shadow reappears, the true record of the massacre in Nanhai City."
"He deliberately released the evil god. His evil deeds shocked the heavens. The whole world should punish him together."
"Although Ji Ba barely made it into the top 100 of the villain list, his evil deeds are even worse than those of the top ten villains. He should be killed in the early stages of poisoning."
Countless jade slips recorded the tragic situation in Nanhai City from various angles and were sold out in an instant.
"Was there no one who stopped Ji Ba from doing evil at that time?" A cultivator was filled with indignation.
“It is said that Huayan Sect sent out the Four Huayan Elders, but they were all killed by him. Also killed were an elder of Huayan Sect and the lord of Nanhai City, King Nanhai.” Another sect disciple continued.
"This crime should be condemned by the whole world."
Although there were faint voices defending Wang Chen.
But it was quickly drowned out by public outrage.
No one would believe the absurd truth that the devil was a hero who saved people with a sword. For the Silver Demon, whose ranking on the villain list has rapidly risen, massacring a city is what he should do.

Tianji Gate.
"Ms. Youyou... secretly took away the source equipment..."
Zhuang Yi lowered his head. He usually had clear thoughts and a sharp tongue, but now he stuttered. It was obvious that although he was old, he seldom did such work as making complaints.
Especially after he secretly glanced at Zhuang Yanling and saw that his master showed no joy or anger and did not respond, he felt even more embarrassed.
Zhuang Yi made up his mind and said:
"I mean, the Sect Master should be very clear about what that guy has been doing recently. He is audacious, shameless, and notorious. He also abandoned Murong Xumu after having an affair with him. He is such a ridiculous liar, rogue, and hooligan. Miss, you can't get too close to him."
The Tianji Sect specializes in world intelligence and is extremely clear about the several contacts between Wang Chen and Zhuang Youyou.
Zhuang Yi has always treated Zhuang Youyou as his own granddaughter, so how could he allow her to be accidentally blinded and thus be taken advantage of by a pig?
Zhuang Yanling looked indifferent. After Zhuang Yi finished speaking, he said calmly, "Got it. Let's get down to business."
Zhuang Yi was stunned for a moment, and after a while he suppressed his excitement and said:
"Seven days ago, the Taoist Master challenged Mo Li, but Mo Li did not dare to fight and stayed in the Seven Hearts Demon Sect under the pretext of seclusion. However, three days ago, the Taoist Master showed up at the Seven Hearts Demon Sect, and the entire sect's formation did not react at all. According to Mo Li's junior brother, who should now be called the Seven Stars Demon Sect's Contemporary Demon, the Taoist Master took seven steps towards Mo Li, and then the entire Demon Peak where Mo Li was was turned into dust. Mo Li vomited seven mouthfuls of blood and died on the spot."
"Yingye is becoming more and more difficult to understand." Zhuang Yanling showed a rare smile on his face. "But Mo Li is a previous generation of the Seven-Hearted Heavenly Demon. The Taoist master must have paid a heavy price for killing Mo Li seven times in a row. Send an order at the highest level to collect intelligence that may be unfavorable to the Taoist master. If you find anything, inform Taixuan Qingdao immediately."
Zhuang Yanling started by calling the Taoist Master by his secular name, but at the end, the title was changed to Taoist Master, just like his expression changed from smiling to neither happy nor sad.
"Yes." Zhuang Yi replied respectfully, and continued, "At almost the same time, Wu Feng and Wu Jue had a fierce battle outside the Scarlet Flame Mountain. Witnesses said that Wu Jue's five swords came out together, forcing Wu Feng to be at a disadvantage. In the end, Wu Feng detonated the sword box and sacrificed the Tiandu Magic Sword to severely injure Wu Jue, almost splitting him in half. Later, Wu Jue detonated one of the Jue Immortal Swords and escaped with a secret technique. Both sides were injured in this battle, and Wu Feng returned to Wanjian Tiandu to retreat and recuperate."
"Wufeng uses the Tiandu Demon Sword, and his Taoism can even compete with the Taoist master. Wujue is a man of great luck. If he survives the demon sword, he will become a dangerous person. However, if one of Wujue's swords is broken, Wujue's cultivation will naturally be affected." Zhuang Yanling said lightly.
“We have already done our best to gather information about the whereabouts of the Five Supremes,” Zhuang Yi continued.
Zhuang Yanling nodded.
After hesitating for a breath, Zhuang Yi continued, "The news that a demon suspected to be a true immortal has appeared in Nanhai City has gradually become more detailed. Deputy Sect Master Xun immediately conducted an investigation and finally determined that although the demon had been sealed for a thousand years, it should be a legendary demon immortal and it is very likely that it has condensed a golden elixir. In the end, the demon was killed by Ji Ba. The deputy sect master believes that we'd better capture Ji Ba as soon as possible, obtain the golden elixir, and crack the way to break through the golden elixir."
Zhuang Yi has always been extremely averse to Zhuang Youyou's approach to Wang Chen. In order to show his neutrality, he deliberately emphasized that it was the great cultivator of Tianji Sect who asked to obtain the golden elixir, and it was not him who exaggerated.
Zhuang Yanling nodded.
Zhuang Yi showed an ecstatic look. This kid, a toad, wanted to eat swan flesh, but he would suffer in due time.
"I've asked Youyou to ask for it." Zhuang Yanling said lightly.
"What do you want? Golden Elixir?" Zhuang Yi was stunned , as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world. His expression changed drastically and he said:
"Master, why did you let Miss Youyou get close to this dangerous guy? Ji Ba is so dirty and shameless, robbing innocent people on Chiyan Mountain, both men and women. How can you let Miss Youyou go to find such a greedy and lustful poisonous insect?"
"Besides, that's a golden elixir, not cabbage. Money can tempt people, so how could he possibly take out the golden elixir?"
Zhuang Yi was anxious: "No, I want to go find Miss Youyou ."
"Uncle Zhuang, are you looking for me?" Zhuang Youyou just walked in from the door, looking at Zhuang Yi, who was obviously a little excited, in confusion.
"Miss, are you okay?" Looking at Zhuang Youyou in a pure white dress, looking like a beautiful woman, Zhuang Yi felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife.
He was originally a high-ranking member of the Tianji Sect and was extremely well-informed. He knew very well that Zhuang Youyou had changed her original neat and capable dressing style since her first contact with the poisonous insect.
"It's okay." Zhuang Youyou gave Zhuang Yi a strange look.
"It's good that you're okay. It doesn't matter if you can't get the things you want. You must not provoke that poisonous insect. Wait until your uncle Zhuang goes out in person, then he will have no choice but to give them to you..." Before Zhuang finished speaking, his expression suddenly froze.
Zhuang Youyou curved her eyes and raised her hand. Between her white palms was a drop-shaped golden crystal that seemed to have life. Lines of light flowed like qi points and meridians, emitting fluctuations that Zhuang Yi had never seen before.
"What is this?"
"What the hell is this?" Zhuang Yi had a bad premonition in his heart like a raging storm.
"Could this be... the golden elixir? The one from the demon fairy of Nanhai City?"
"How is this possible?"
Zhuang Yanling, who showed no emotion, had his deep eyes fixed on the crystal.
He then looked at Zhuang Yi, whose eyes were dull, and then at Zhuang Youyou, with an imperceptible curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.
This golden elixir is probably the only thing in the cultivation world that contains the secret of breaking through the golden elixir.
Its value is enough to attract any repairman.
"What a wolfish ambition! What a wolfish ambition!"
"This poisonous insect is so willing to give the golden elixir to the young lady..."
"The goal is very deep and far-reaching!"
Zhuang Yi screamed in his heart and his face turned red.
"By the way, he doesn't like the Source Equipment because even we don't know how to use it, so I promised him that I would secretly bring him to our Tianji Sect's treasure room to choose a treasure that he likes."
"Okay." Zhuang Yanling said.
"It's so... sneaky." Zhuang Yi looked at Zhuang Youyou, who looked like a couple having an affair, with his gray hair standing upside down and his teeth almost broken.
"Send a message to the Taoist master and Wu Feng, and invite him to the Tianji Gate for a chat as soon as he recovers from his injury. It will be worth their hard work." Although Zhuang Yanling's tone was flat, Zhuang Yi could still hear the joy in his words.
"Yes." Zhuang Yi's white hair fell down as he stood upside down, and he responded respectfully.
“What do you mean by ‘busy for a long time’?” Zhuang Yi seemed a little confused.
