Luoyue City. Outside the city.
Jindan Demon Lord Zhanhuang once again restrained Wei Xun and Elder Pan, buying time for his followers to retreat.
The Mist Domain is already shrinking rapidly. When the Mist Formation is broken, the Mist Domain will completely disappear, so there is no point in retreating to the Mist Domain.
He needs his followers to hide in the forest.
Although the fog formation has disappeared, the miasma and demonic energy in the forest will not disappear by themselves.
The evil spirit still lingers in the forest.
Those demonized evil spirits are even more controlled by them.
These are all natural barriers that prevent the pursuit of righteous monks.
"Wei Xun, how dare you!"
"If you dare to kill my demon cultivator, I will enter Luoyue City and kill the Lingxiao Sect disciples."
Seeing that Wei Xun, while mediating with him, also injured his retreating disciples, Demon Lord Zhanhuang roared.
Wei Xun responded despite his injuries:
"I'm afraid of you?"
Even so, Wei Xun still stopped attacking the demon cultivator disciples. If Zhanhuang launched an indiscriminate attack on countless cultivators in Luoyue City, Wei Xun would not be able to protect him.
He and Elder Pan joined forces and were still slightly at a disadvantage against Zhan Huang.
But Wei Xun didn't have a high-level image. In the process of chasing Zhanhuang, he always hit places where there were demon cultivator disciples. This was not considered an active kill.
If you can kill one, it counts.
And hit the foundation as much as possible.
Luoyue City. Inside the city.
Because the fog formation was broken, the demonic cultivators knew that the situation was over and retreated into the forest one after another. However, the cultivators on the right side became red-eyed and pursued them crazily.
Venting out the anger that had been suppressed for many years.
A large number of people poured out of the city, roaring all kinds of cathartic words.
Chen Ping was hugged by the crowd, and he also shouted, "I and the demon cultivator are not at odds," but his body was honest and slowly backed away, moving to a place with fewer people.
Then quickly headed back towards home.
Luoyue City is in such chaos, it is inevitable that someone will not take advantage of it, and his little wife is still at home.
Along the way, there were various fights and chaos.
Chen Ping couldn't help but think of the scene when the monster passed through Lianyuncheng.
What is more terrifying than monsters and demon cultivators is the human heart.
"Laifu, this monk saw you practicing magic the other day. You should die." A young monk rushed into his neighbor's yard and performed magic.
The monk who was called Lai Fu was furious:
"Ding Wei, please don't slander anyone. When did this monk learn magic skills?"
"Bah~bah~bah~"
"......"
Chen Ping ignored the arguments and pulled Yun Haitang quickly through the streets.
Such right and wrong, true and false, are difficult to distinguish. It may be true, and it does not rule out that some people take the opportunity to vent their selfish desires.
In chaos, anything can happen.
"The two demon cultivators in front of me can't even think of escaping."
When approaching the street where the house was located, a monk rushed towards Chen and Ping.
"Pfft~"
Before Chen Ping could take action, one of Yun Haitang's spells killed him.
'This girl is getting better and better. ,
'The action was decisive enough. ,
Chen Ping quickly returned to the house, not even bothering to leave the normal door. He jumped directly into the yard and relaxed when he saw that the house was intact and that the first-order five-element psychedelic array in the quiet room showed no signs of damage. tone.
"Lingchun."
"Husband, I'm fine. There's chaos outside again. How are you?...Why is Sister Haitang injured again?" Yu Lingchun heard Chen Ping's voice and ran out in a hurry.
Seeing that Chen Ping was fine, I was relieved.
But he immediately noticed that Yun Haitang's face was a little pale.
"No...it's okay." Yun Haitang said with a look on his face
red.
Every time she fought side by side with Chen Ping, she was always injured, but Chen Ping was fine.
Obviously his cultivation level is higher.
Chen Ping asked Yu Lingchun and Yun Haitang to enter the Lingmai Cave. Yun Haitang happened to be meditating to heal his injuries, while he returned to the courtyard.
Take out three sets of formation equipment.
The first-order Five Elements Psychedelic Array and the Vientiane Array were deployed to protect the entire house.
Unfortunately, two pieces of the Nine Palaces Psychedelic Array’s equipment were broken. I don’t know whether it was due to the battle between Yun Haitang and the demonic cultivator that the formation was affected, or whether the facially paralyzed female cultivator used brute force to forcefully break the formation, causing backlash to the large array equipment.
Alas, what a pity.
After you leave the Qingyun Domain, you must take another set of second-order psychedelic formations, which are still very useful.
However, this set cannot be thrown away. You can sell it in exchange for some spiritual stones in the future.
Returning to the Lingmai Cave, Chen Ping did not disturb the two wives, but sorted out the gains and losses of this time by himself.
First, the corpses and belongings of the three demon cultivators were dragged out of the storage bag.
Organize your belongings one by one.
[3 storage bags, 756 medium-grade spiritual stones, 397 low-grade spiritual stones, 1 magic jade slip, 2 magic weapons, 4 robes, 1 pair of spiritual boots, and a bunch of talismans and elixirs. A bunch of other stuff. ]
One of the three killed was in the late stage of foundation building and two were in the middle stage of foundation building. None of their items were rare.
Many of them also bear the mark of magic.
There are quite a few spiritual stones.
The three storage bags are all 4 square storage bags.
Chen Ping sorted the belongings into categories and put them away one by one, and then conducted a simple soul search on the three incomplete corpses.
None of the three people knew who the person who broke the formation was.
He also didn’t figure out Bai Linye’s true identity.
I just think that Wei Xun found a way to break the formation.
From their mouths, I learned about some foundation-building monks who have modified their magic skills. They are basically from other sects, so I will have less contact with them in the future.
By the way, I also asked about some of the strongholds of the demonic cultivators in the foggy domain. If you go to those areas in the future, you can avoid them to avoid getting into trouble.
After the soul-searching is over, dispose of the corpse and remaining souls in a familiar manner.
Calm down.
'This time I broke the formation, and although I had a face-to-face encounter with the demon cultivator, he was in a disguised state at the time. The other party was just building a foundation and had no ability to see through my true appearance. This did not reveal the identity. ,
'In front of Wei Xun's seven people, at most he only exposed his ability to find the formation's eyes and break the formation, and all other trump cards were not exposed. In other words, in their eyes, I only have some attainments in formations at most. This is not a big problem at all, and it won't make people jealous or anything. ,
"Except for my wife, the only one who has seen my methods is Bailiye, but Bailiye and I are on the same boat. He has no reason to expose me. Exposing me means that he himself will also be exposed. Even if he is a member of the royal family, there is no need to bear the burden of the entire family." The anger of Ghost Dao Sect. And after spending so many years together, I feel that this demon's character is still feasible. ,
'It seems like I'm still the transparent person. ,
Chen Ping figured this out and felt a lot more at ease.
The next step is to inquire about the attitude of the outer domain towards the monks from the Qingyun Domain.
Now that the fog formation above Qingyun Domain has been broken, the strange phenomenon is obvious, and the surrounding domains have definitely noticed this strange phenomenon.
Tonight is a sleepless night for everyone.
Their attitude towards the Qingyun Domain monks will be reflected in the next few days.
There is no need to rush out of the territory now. We have to wait until it becomes clear, so as not to have just stepped out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den, becoming the target of everyone.
It just so happens that I can have a good talk with Wei Xun.
...
The civil strife in Luoyue City lasted for most of the day.
After that, Wei Xun's loud voice resounded throughout the sky above Luoyue City——
——The demonic cultivator has escaped and the fog formation has been broken. If any fellow Taoist dares to take advantage of the chaos to kill his fellow Taoist, I, Wei Xun, will never spare his mercy.
This roar fills my heart
All the restless monks took a shot of cardiotonic.
It also made all the monks with evil intentions suppress the throbbing in their hearts.
Luoyue City gradually returned to calm.
'It's different to have a big boss here. It's just been chaotic for most of the day. After the demonic beasts from Lianyuncheng passed through the border, there was chaos for several days before they gradually stopped. ,
Chen Ping was quite emotional.
Wei Xun came over once in the evening, and left immediately after knowing that Chen Ping was fine. He didn't say a word, he was very busy.
The next day, Chen Ping also did not go out, nor did he go to the outside of the forest to check the attitude of the outer sect. Although the demon cultivator had escaped, there was a high probability that he would still stay in the forest.
Under this situation, in the eyes of the demon cultivators, the righteous monks will no longer be potential future sect members, and they will definitely kill them if they meet on a narrow road.
The perimeter is still too dangerous.
The city was still temporarily silent due to Wei Xun's pressure, but it was inevitable that there were still some demon cultivators or their craftsmen in the city. If a dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, any danger could happen.
The next afternoon.
Wei Xun came to the door again.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I came here this time to express my gratitude, and secondly...well, I won't mince words. I wonder what Daoyou Chen has planned for the future? Do you want to stay?"
After a brief exchange of greetings, Wei Xun got straight to the point.
Wei Xun has been very busy these past two days. There are too many things to do, so he often talks long and short without much thought.
only.
Leave?
Chen Ping took a breath.
It seems that Wei Xun really wants to rebuild the Lingxiao Sect.
Chen Ping asked directly:
"I wonder what Master Wei has planned for the future?"
Wei Xun paused and said:
"I will follow my senior brother's will and rebuild the Lingxiao Sect."
In Wei Xun's view, all the monks in the Qingyun Domain have their own demonic intentions. No matter where they go, these monks will become aliens in the eyes of others. In order to seek stability, the surrounding domains will also be more or less hostile to the Qingyun Domain. The monk takes certain measures.
Even if they are not killed, there is a high probability that these monks will not be welcome to live permanently within the jurisdiction of their sect.
After all, when monks in the late Nascent Soul stage had the ability to break through the fog formation, they chose to sit back and watch. Now that the fog formation has been broken, most of these monks will not be too kind.
Wei Xun needs to find a home for these monks.
That is to rebuild Lingxiao Sect.
Today, the monks in the Qingyun Domain are highly concentrated, and they are basically all in Luoyue City. After this incident, there will be only one sect in the entire Qingyun Domain, and that is the Lingxiao Sect.
"Where are those demon cultivators? Even if Lingxiao Sect is rebuilt, they won't be able to live in peace, right?" Chen Ping interrupted.
This is what Chen Ping is most concerned about.
Wei Xun shook his head and disagreed with Chen Ping.
"After so many years of dealing with him, I know Demon Lord Zhanhuang's style quite well. This man is extremely pragmatic, good at planning, and knows how to be forbearing. Interests will always outweigh personal grudges."
Zhan Huang is a person who pursues his personal ambitions.
Such a monk will not get entangled with others in the same place for their own personal grudges, and try their best to retaliate by dying together.
If he really wanted to take revenge, on the day when the formation was forced, Zhanhuang would probably not have chosen to cover the retreat of his followers, but would have chosen to abandon these demonic cultivators and take endless revenge on the righteous cultivators.
If Zhanhuang really wants to massacre Luoyue City, Wei Xun and his two men may not be able to stop him.
For such a person, in Wei Xun's opinion, with the Qingyun Region attaching great importance to demon cultivators, it would be difficult for demon cultivators to find opportunities again.
Zhanhuang would probably take these people out of the Qingyun Domain and go to other more suitable domains to look for opportunities to revive the Ghost Dao Sect.
In other words, the Demonic Cultivator will gradually withdraw from the Qingyun Domain.
As for the surrounding domains, will they take advantage of the situation and rob the Qingyun Domain?
Divide the Qingyun Domain?
In Wei Xun's view, because Qingyun
There is still a lot of miasma and demonic energy in the domain, and most of the monks from outside the domain will not come in and take risks.
Things like the Foundation Building Conference before the Lingxiao Sect was destroyed will not happen.
In this case, Qingyun Domain will be the safest place in the next few years.
"What about the demonic intention? There are so many monks, and everyone has their own demonic intention. How to solve it?" Chen Ping saw Wei Xun's ambition and determination in his eyes, but he felt that rebuilding the Lingxiao Sect was not an easy task.
Mentioning this, Wei Xun sighed:
"After Luoyue City settles down for a while, I will go out and reopen the trade routes. Even if the caravans dare not enter the Qingyun Territory, they can still establish a trade market on the edge."
"The Awakening God Pill is not an expensive pill in the outer sect, and the demand is not large. As long as this pill is continuously supplied, the monks in Qingyun Domain can at least continue to suppress the devil's will."
"As for the complete elimination of demonic intent, I will try my best to find corresponding techniques for all my disciples, but this is not an easy task. But if I can't do anything, can they find a way out of Qingyun Domain by themselves?"
This is true.
Fortunately, the foundation-building monks can try the divine art. Although this path is not easy and the success rate is very low, it is still a method.
During the Qi refining period, monks will be much helpless.
I don’t know if there are any related techniques or spells in the outside world.
But as Wei Xun said, if he is unable to do anything, it will be even less possible for these Qi Refining Stage monks to find such a way.
Relying on the Awakening Pill to continuously suppress is a good method.
As for completely removing the evil spirit, it depends on fate.
Wei Xun was still unfinished and continued:
"The Lingxiao Sect's spiritual veins were destroyed, but to be precise, the spiritual veins were imprisoned by the fog formation, and the spiritual energy has been completely eroded by demonic energy and miasma. As a Jindan monk, I still have some connections outside. A few days later I will go out to Qingyun Territory and ask a Nascent Soul Lord to help repair the spiritual veins and remove the demonic energy and miasma, so that we can move back to the original site of Lingxiao Sect as soon as possible and re-deploy the mountain protection formation."
The Demon Cultivator originally aimed to swallow up the entire Qingyun Domain.
The original site of Lingxiao Sect is the place with the best spiritual energy. The demonic cultivators have not been destroyed. They want to establish a sect at the original site of Lingxiao Sect after completely occupying the Qingyun Domain.
So it's just confinement and erosion.
"Where are the resources? The Qingyun Territory has been excessively damaged over the years and relies entirely on outside supply?" Chen Ping wanted to know how deeply Wei Xun had considered these difficulties when he was so determined.
In the Qingyun Domain today, there is not even a single second-order monster beast, and there are even very few first-order monster beasts.
The medicinal materials have already been picked.
"This can only be discussed in the long term. But as long as spiritual rice is planted first, the monks' livelihood will not be a big problem. Besides, the ecology will slowly recover..." Wei Xun said eloquently.
After the entire Qingyun Domain monks are concentrated in Lingxiao Sect, trade will become much more convenient. As long as the external trade channels are opened, many resources can be solved.
Moreover, the Qingyun Domain is depleted of monsters and spiritual materials, but there is no shortage of ores, soil environment suitable for cultivating spiritual materials, large trees and spiritual materials... these are not lacking.
It can be seen that Wei Xun's reconstruction of Lingxiao Sect was not a whim, but he made many evaluations in advance.
Finally, Wei Xun said:
"Having said so much, the Lingxiao Sect is full of waste and is waiting to be revitalized. Naturally, I hope that Fellow Daoist Chen can stay."
"I won't go into details about the pros and cons. I believe that Fellow Daoist Chen has his own considerations. But Fellow Daoist Chen might as well listen to the conditions that Lingxiao Sect can give to Fellow Daoist Chen."
Wei Xun still has some ideas.
Now that the Lingxiao Sect is rebuilt, the foundation-building monks from other external sects will gradually return to their original sects. The remaining foundation-building monks of the Lingxiao Sect are very limited.
It's a time when people are missing.
During the period of cooperation with Chen Ping, Wei Xun saw that although Chen Ping's cultivation level was not high, his magic power was not strong either. But things are done in an orderly manner, Ling is clear about priorities, has ideas, and thinks clearly.
Chen Ping himself downplayed the matter of finding an advantage and breaking the formation, but
Wei Xun knew that this was definitely not easy, and many difficulties needed to be overcome at every step.
Such monks are very valuable in the reconstruction process of Lingxiao Sect.
Moreover, behind Chen Ping is the Yun family. The Yun family has been running Xiuxian City for hundreds of years and has rich experience. It has smooth communication channels with the outside world and is indispensable for the reconstruction of Xiuxian City.
Once Chen Ping leaves, Lingxiao Sect will lose more than just a guest.
There were so many guests from the Lingxiao Sect, but Chen Ping was the only one Wei Xun was willing to leave in person.
"First, I would like to have a Peak Master named Daoyou Chen."
"I know that Daoyou Chen doesn't like to appear in public. Chen Daoyou can still become the peak master of the Lingxiao Sect as a guest without having to participate in daily affairs. The peak master of the Keqing often does not need to lock in the number of years. If Daoyou Chen comes to the day when he feels that the Lingxiao Sect cannot meet his own cultivation needs, he can Leave at any time."
Hearing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but be stunned.
This sincerity is not lacking.
Lingxiao Sect has a total of 6 peaks, except for the main peak, the remaining 5 peaks belong to 5 peak masters.
During the heyday of the Lingxiao Sect, these peak masters were all golden elixirs or nine-level foundation-building little immortals.
Even though today's Lingxiao Sect only has more than thirty foundations left, there are still many in the later stages of foundation building.
He has only built the sixth floor of the foundation.
Of course, it is the master of Keqing Peak.
The master of Keqing Peak does not need to participate in daily affairs, but only needs to contribute to major events. On the other hand, the master of Keqing Peak also has relatively fewer rights, a smaller scope of authority, and a greatly reduced remuneration.
For a normal monk, if the two positions of Peak Master and Keqing Peak Master are in front of him at the same time, of course he will choose the official Peak Master position without hesitation.
But Chen Ping is not a normal monk.
Although the Keqing Peak Master's treatment is poor, he has few responsibilities.
There is not much power, but it also means that there is no need to participate in too many daily affairs.
The permissions are limited, but they are not bound for a certain period of time. You can retreat at any time when necessary.
This is indeed full of temptation for Chen Ping.
"Secondly, if Fellow Daoist Chen is lucky enough to form an elixir one day, all the golden elixir techniques of our Lingxiao Sect will be up to Fellow Daoist Chen to choose."
"Of course, this is a long-term matter. But with Mr. Chen's determination to cultivate hard, I believe that Mr. Chen will be able to cross the threshold of pill formation one day."
This provision is equivalent to giving him, the guest minister, an additional authority.
Under normal circumstances, the master of Keqing Peak can only choose a limited number of exercises.
After all, he is not an official member of the sect.
"This is the condition that I, the leader, can provide. Any more may cause unfair controversy. Fellow Daoist Chen can think about it and don't rush to answer me." Wei Xunyan added:
"Young Daoist Chen has been very kind to me, Lingxiao Sect. If you still want to leave, I will respect your choice. You don't need to worry about this."
"It's just that, selfishly speaking, I really hope that Fellow Daoist Chen can stay."
Chen Ping nodded:
"Thank you very much, Master Wei, for the invitation. This matter is not trivial and involves many things. I really need to think about it. I will reply to the master in a few days."
Wei Xun nodded and said nothing more.
That's pretty much all that needs to be said.
The rest is Chen Ping's own choice.
Wei Xun still had a lot of things to do, so he left in a hurry without sitting for more after the chat.
