When everyone heard this, they immediately became nervous, but no matter how they looked at it, they only felt that the portrait looked very realistic and there was nothing special about it.
Emperor Shitian laughed and was about to make some sarcastic remarks to Cheng Ling. Suddenly, the ice phoenix on the wall exuded extreme coldness, and the entire mural seemed to come alive. Then, another sharp phoenix cry sounded in his ears.
"Buzz buzz..."
All the monks immediately emitted their spiritual consciousness and instinctively swept towards the ice phoenix on the wall. A series of muffled sounds sounded. Soon, all the monks who emitted their spiritual consciousness were bleeding from their orifices. It was obvious that their souls had been severely damaged.
"No, it's alive. It's a real ice phoenix!" Emperor Shitian immediately woke up and hurriedly took out the demon-subduing pestle and danced it into a golden halo.
Cheng Ling was not slow to react. He flew his hands and instantly hit hundreds of restrictions in front of him, covering Xie Feng and Qing Ya Qing Yi, which relieved some of the pressure. However, those restrictions soon said "click" "Crack" made a soft sound, and finally turned into ice chips and fell to the ground.
The extreme coldness spread in the palace, and the temperature in the entire space dropped sharply. The monks couldn't help but shudder. Not only the physical body, but also the soul seemed to be frozen.
"Click..."
The ground, walls, and ceiling were frozen, and even the two open doors behind him were frozen. After a while, the portrait on the wall really "came alive" and dimly transformed into a beautiful woman wearing ice crystal decorations.
The woman's face was cold, and her eyes were as cold as ice. After giving everyone a cold look, her lips parted slightly.
"cracking......"
There was another cry, as if the whole palace was shaking, and the pressure of the beautiful woman spread to all directions. Even the Eight-Star Immortal Emperor felt overwhelmed, and despair appeared in his eyes.
Cheng Ling forced himself to calm down and looked at the woman with blue eyes flashing. Upon observation, he was startled. He saw the woman suspended in mid-air. Her upper body looked like that of a beautiful woman, but down from her abdomen were nine tail feathers, and even her feet were missing.
"Swish swish...!"
Just when Cheng Ling was surprised, several figures quickly rushed into the hall. It was Hui Xuan, Kong Ji and others. Their entry also made the woman put away her pressure, and the monks suddenly felt their spirits lighten.
Kong Ji immediately came to the beautiful girl and stared at her dumbfounded, her body trembling slightly. After a long time, she couldn't help but step forward and said: "Long'er, after nearly ten thousand years, I finally see you again."
There was a hint of warmth on the face of the beautiful woman, and she looked at Kong Ji and said, "You look much older. These ten thousand years have been hard on you. It was all that damn Xudu monk who imprisoned me in the deepest part of Qinglian Xujing. At the bottom, let you and I endure the pain of separation for thousands of years."
"It's over...Long'er, don't worry, it's all over! The master has passed away and the senior brother is dead. I am now the sect leader of Zending Mountain. I will take you away today." Kong Ji comforted her softly. , like an ignorant boy in love.
An idea flashed in Cheng Ling's mind, and he suddenly woke up and said, "Master Kongji, all of this is your plan!"
"Oh!" Kong Ji turned his head and said with a proud expression on his face: "Unexpectedly, you were the first to guess my intention. Tell me."
"At the beginning, no, or since you separated from Bingfeng, you wanted to rescue her. But at that time, there was your master and Buddha in Zending Mountain, and it was impossible for them to agree to the matter between you and Bingfeng. "
Kong Ji said with hatred: "Yes, they have always believed that the human race and the demon race are incompatible. Let alone falling in love, even being friends with each other is a treacherous and unethical thing. But how do they know how good Long'er is? She is of Phoenix blood, extremely noble, capable Falling in love with me is a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes."
Cheng Ling remained silent and practiced all the way. Regardless of the mortal world, the star world, or the fairy world, the relationship between the human race and the demon race was extremely bad, not to mention the Taoist sect, even the Buddhist sect that preached that all living beings are equal and can become a Buddha.
He sighed and continued: "Because of the rules of Zending Mountain, you and Bingfeng were separated for thousands of years, but you were not willing to accept it and tried every means to reverse the situation."
"Finally, the appearance of the Fox Queen gave you an opportunity. Her appearance is so beautiful that the three direct disciples of the Buddha all fell under her pomegranate skirt and made the same mistake as you did back then."
"At this time, you know that the opportunity has come. If my guess is correct, the death of the Buddha should be yours!"
Kong Ji said: "Senior brother is too pedantic. I just sneaked into the Qinglian Void Realm and was discovered by him, so I planned to deal with it according to the sect rules. Little did I know what kind of stuff his own disciples are."
As soon as these words came out, Hui Yuan and Hui Neng were immediately shocked. Only Hui Xuan was confused, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
The fox queen's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she said: "Kong Ji, it is indeed you, why do you want to blame Hui Xuan again!"
"Hmph! So what if it's me? For Long'er, there's nothing in the world that I can't do."
Bingfeng's eyes flashed with emotion, and he glanced coldly at Hui Xuan and the Fox Queen, and said calmly: "It's just a nine-tailed fox with 70% of its bloodline activated. What right do you have to be so presumptuous in front of me!"
As the words fell, a stronger icy air condensed into a line and blasted towards the Fox Queen's spirit.
With a thought in Cheng Ling's mind, the Dragon Ling Sword thrust out instantly, mastering Bingfeng's spiritual attack with great precision and shattering it.
"Eh!" Bingfeng exclaimed, and immediately an extremely strong aura spread from her body, like a world of ice and snow, quickly unfolding and crushing towards Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling refused to give in. He vibrated the Dragon Ling Sword and activated the nine-level sword realm. The two extremely powerful realms collided together. They continued to collapse at the point of collision, but they continued to form, and the speed of generation was not slower than the speed of collapse. .
"boom......"
There was a violent explosion, and Cheng Ling stepped back several feet. Bingfeng's body suspended in mid-air could not maintain its position and drifted back several feet.
Emperor Shitian's pupils shrank, feeling for the first time how powerful Cheng Ling was. Even he could not get rid of the ice and snow domain released by the ice phoenix. Unexpectedly, the other party blocked it tepidly and did not lose at all.
Kong Ji was startled and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Long'er, how are you?"
Bingfeng frowned and looked sideways behind him.
Everyone followed her gaze and couldn't help but gasp.
I saw snow-white silk threads revealed behind Bingfeng. Those threads were densely packed and twisted into chain-like shapes. There were thirty-six of them. One end locked her thirty-six vital points, and the other end connected to the palace wall.
Everyone has entered the five palaces before. With their fighting power, it is difficult to shake even the strongest attack. It is not known what materials they are made of. It is conceivable that Bingfeng is chained by thirty-six chains. Come on, you can't fully display your own strength at all.
"You are looking for death!" Bingfeng was furious. Apart from Xudu, this was the first time she had been frustrated in front of a human monk.
Suddenly, her eyes glowed brightly, and the endless world of ice and snow pushed forward forcefully. The entire palace completely turned into a frozen world. Wherever she passed, the monks were all frozen into popsicles, and even the elements in the space were frozen. All his strength was frozen and turned into hailstones falling from the sky.
"No..." Cheng Ling was shocked, and he drew out the Dragon Ling Sword, which combined the seven emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire, turned into seven-colored light, and stabbed out with one sword.
"Buzz...click!"
The two collided again, the seven-colored sword light shattered, and the ice and snow world also collapsed on a large scale. The two sides were evenly matched, and no one could take advantage.
But Bingfeng was affected by Cheng Ling's seven-emotion artistic conception. Various images flashed through his mind one by one. After a while, he gradually calmed down.
She glanced at Cheng Ling and asked, "Kong Ji, who is he? Is he a disciple of Fanhua Temple?"
Kong Ji said: "Her name is Cheng Ling. She does not belong to the four major Buddhist sects, but is a Taoist monk."
"Taoist monk..." Bingfeng pondered a little and said: "In that case, I have no grudges against you, so let's leave it at that!"
She was decisive, taking action without any warning, and gave up immediately without taking any advantage.
Cheng Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This ice phoenix was too strong. If it weren't for the key points all over its body to be sealed, he could only attack with his soul. Unless he had the strength to move in and out, it would be impossible to resist.
The crisis was temporarily eliminated, and the Queen Fox continued to ask: "Master Cheng, what did you think of? Tell me!"
Cheng Ling nodded and continued: "Putting the blame on Huixuan. Firstly, it is because Kongji is not upright and has fallen in love with the demon clan. It is difficult to get the approval of Zending Mountain. Secondly, we need to find a scapegoat to distract everyone. The only way is to be honest." Huixuan killed the Buddha so that he could have the opportunity to become the leader of Zen Mountain."
"In this way, he can implement the second step of the plan, which is to open the Green Lotus Void Realm. But he did not lie about one thing. Huixuan was indeed imprisoned at the bottom of the Thirty-Six Realms. Similarly, Bingfeng was also imprisoned here. .”
"And if you want to rescue Bingfeng, you have to go to the lowest level. You are eager to save Huixuan, and you just fall into his plan."
"That's it!" The Fox Queen finally understood.
Cheng Ling said: "But this is just the beginning. The lowest level is not so easy to enter. I guess that because of the ice phoenix, the thirty-six virtual worlds have undergone great changes. That is the coldness that pervades every world. gas."
"It just so happens that this kind of breath can also help Buddhist monks improve their Dharma and cultivation. In this way, he can hope to consume the cold air in the thirty-six virtual worlds to the maximum extent. It just so happens that this time, I am here to use the formation. The method is to gather the cold and cold energy together and condense it into nine ice crystals."
"At this time, the Thirty-Six Void Realm returned to its original appearance. And after that, the boundaries of the five palaces were greatly weakened, making it easier for him to enter and find Master Bingfeng and Kongji. Could Cheng have guessed wrong?"
"Papa papa..." There were several soft sounds, and Kong Ji clapped and said: "Master Cheng, you are worthy of being the one who can reveal 70% to 80% of our sect's plan just from the few words he heard from the Demon Emperor. It’s really good.”
Emperor Shitian's face was gloomy. Even he was fooled by Kongji in this line. He immediately said impatiently: "Where are the remaining 20% to 30%?"
"Haha, His Excellency Emperor Shitian, it's better that you don't know!"
"What if this emperor must know?"
"Why bother? It doesn't matter! The goal of our sect has been achieved, so there's no harm in telling you. The four super powers of Buddhism each have their own strengths, and if you want to stay with Long Er for life, you must conquer them all."
"What a shame!" Emperor Shitian said angrily.
Kong Ji ignored it and said with a smile: "It was originally difficult, but God is helping me. Buddhism and Taoism are fighting, and Suiye Buddha Kingdom and Bodhi Temple have suffered heavy losses, and they will never regain their former glory. Your Excellency Emperor Shaktian, don't believe it, Look how many of your most proud eight tribes are left now?"
