Suddenly, the power of the surrounding heaven and earth fluctuated, and a black shadow appeared out of thin air on the top of the mountain.
Almost at the same time that the black shadow appeared, Duan Jiuzhou, whose eyes were closed, immediately opened his eyes that turned blood red at some point, and a powerful force swept through the entire Holy Soul Mountain.
The black shadow seemed to have been wiped out of consciousness. Without any resistance at all, it was imprisoned in place by an invisible force and unable to move.
Duan Jiuzhou looked at the black shadow, a flash of surprise flashed in his heart, followed by a burst of joy.
He was seriously injured at Yuxu Sect, especially Lan Yunxin's last sword attack, which hurt him to the core, otherwise he would not have been able to escape so decisively.
He had been recuperating here since he escaped from Yuxu Sect, but his injuries were too serious, and he had only recovered less than 30% after half a month.
The black shadow that suddenly appeared in front of him actually carried the aura of the ancient demon god. At first, he thought it was some ancient demon god who wanted to devour him while he was seriously injured.
However, after a brief induction, I discovered that although this black shadow was indeed the ancient demon god, its condition was worse than him. Not only did it lose its body, its power was almost completely lost, but its consciousness was also wiped away, leaving only the most pure essence. A ray of origin.
And this trace of the origin of the ancient demon god is undoubtedly a great supplement to Duan Jiuzhou at this time!
Without enough time to think about the reason for His appearance here, Duan Jiuzhou raised his hand to capture the black shadow in his hand.
"ah!"
The black shadow only had time to let out a scream before it was sucked into Duan Jiuzhou's mouth.
After swallowing the black shadow for just a moment, Duan Jiuzhou's eyes glowed red, and his aura also increased a lot.
Then he looked at the surrounding cages with unsatisfied thoughts, raising his hand to point out the empty spaces.
At every point, one of the people in the cage fell down with an angry look.
"Die Jiuzhou, you will not die well!"
"Duan Jiuzhou, do you really disregard the friendship between the same sect?!"
"Holy Lord, spare my life!"
…
Watching other people die one after another, voices of yelling and begging for mercy kept ringing out from the remaining cages.
But Duan Jiuzhou remained unmoved and kept pointing with his fingers.
In just a moment, no matter whether it was yelling, cursing, or begging for mercy, all the voices disappeared.
There is no one alive in the cage!
After killing everyone, Duan Jiuzhou raised his head and opened his mouth to take a breath, and saw wisps of black and red light flying out of the cages and falling into his mouth.
That is the soul and blood of the person who just died!
After absorbing all the soul and blood, Duan Jiuzhou closed his eyes again and began to slowly refine.
Back then, Duan Jiuzhou successfully broke the seal of ancient Shura with the help of a group of masters from Holy Soul Mountain, and devoured his origin while he was still awake.
Several years of seclusion followed, and he finally succeeded in refining the origin of ancient Shura, and his cultivation reached a level beyond everyone's understanding.
Originally, everyone in Holy Soul Mountain was filled with joy when they saw that the Holy Master's cultivation was so powerful.
They longed to break the Nine Provinces and lead them to unify the Holy Religion, destroy the righteous way, and recreate the glorious scene of the Holy Religion three thousand years ago.
However, after Duan Jiuzhou came out of seclusion, his temperament changed drastically. He did not unify all the demon schools as they imagined. Instead, he directly ordered all the people to be dispatched to destroy the Yuxu Sect!
Although Duan Jiuzhou is so powerful that they can hardly imagine it, Yuxu Sect also has profound knowledge and possesses the most precious treasure of the mountain, the Demon-Slaying Sword. Is it so easy to destroy?
All the masters from Holy Soul Mountain knew that this was inappropriate, and they all went to the palace to persuade Duan Jiuzhou to give up this crazy idea.
But Duan Jiuzhou seemed to have lost his mind at that time and did not listen to their dissuasion at all. He suppressed them with thunderous means and imprisoned them on the top of the Holy Soul Mountain.
Then they used some unknown means to control everyone's minds, and then the Holy Soul Mountain besieged Yuxu Gate.
After the failed siege of Holy Soul Mountain, Duan Jiuzhou was seriously injured.
Because of the fear of backlash, he did not dare to directly devour the souls and blood of the imprisoned masters to recover his own injuries. He planned to wait until his own strength recovered before devouring them.
Now with the help of that ray of ancient demon god's origin, his injuries recovered by 40% in an instant, and he couldn't wait to swallow the souls and blood of these people.
The people of Holy Soul Mountain could run away and die.
Only the Holy Lord Duan Jiuzhou is left, and now Holy Soul Mountain exists in name only!
…
On the other side, Bu Xiaotian took the unconscious young man back to Yuxu Gate as quickly as possible.
Everyone in Yuxu Sect was shocked when they learned that Yaowang Valley had been destroyed at the hands of the Gu God, and that only a young man was left.
Before they could recover, they heard from Bu Xiaotian that there was an ancient demon god who had fully recovered his strength, and everyone was extremely shocked.
Wuji Peak, Sanqing Palace.
The five newly succeeded peak masters gathered in the main hall, surrounding a half-grown boy.
This young man is the only remaining descendant of Yaowang Valley - Lu Rong.
Lu Rong was still unconscious at this time. A palm-sized small green cauldron floated above his body. The shadow of a middle-aged man appeared in the small cauldron. It was Mo Fenyou who sacrificed his body to the cauldron!
At this time, Mo Fenyou seemed to have just learned about the ending of Yaowang Valley, and his somewhat unreal face was full of grief.
After Mo Fenyou merged into the Medicine King Divine Cauldron, the remaining strand fell asleep in the cauldron until Bu Xiaotian sensed it and woke it up in the main hall.
He didn't expect that even if he fused the Medicine King Divine Cauldron at the cost of his own life, he still couldn't save those children in the end!
He also knew everything that happened in Yuxu Sect, so he did not blame Yuxu Sect for not providing timely support.
It was a great sense of friendship that the Yuxu Sect could send Bu Xiaotian, the strongest cultivator, to Yaowang Valley after suffering such a disaster.
If he still harbors resentment towards them, what does that mean?
After a long time, Mo Fenyou's remnant soul took a deep breath and slowly said:
"When the child wakes up, I will use his body to refine the Heaven-Building Pill with the Medicine King Divine Cauldron. With the power of the Heaven-Building Pill, it will not be a problem to get rid of the poison in his body. Then I will need your help to take care of this child!"
With that said, Mo Fenyou's remnant soul bowed to everyone and saluted.
Everyone hurriedly avoided it, and Li Yungui even said:
"You don't have to be like this, Valley Master Mo. I am the righteous one, so naturally I won't stand idly by!"
Mo Fenyou looked at everyone and saw that their expressions were full of sincerity, and thanked them again:
"Thank you!"
Afterwards, everyone discussed some things in the main hall, but Bu Xiaotian left Wuji Peak alone and returned to his small courtyard on Purple Thunder Peak.
Silence, stillness.
Bu Xiaotian thought about Gu God's words in his heart, and his heart became gloomy, but he didn't regret it at all.
If he had surrendered to the Gu God in order to save Mo Li and help him bring trouble to the world, he would not only be a disgrace to the years of teachings given by his elders, but even if Mo Li wakes up, he will not be forgiven.
But thinking that the glimmer of hope that he had finally seen for many years was extinguished by his own hands, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel extremely painful!
…
Western Lingzhou, Tianling Mountain.
The once prosperous Buddhist holy land is now in ruins. The avenues that used to be filled with pilgrims are covered with weeds and fallen leaves are piled up thickly. It looks like no one has been here for a long time.
On the top of the mountain, there was also no one in the simple temple, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
Because of the existence of Tianling Mountain Jade Buddha Temple, Lingzhou Buddhism has been prosperous.
Although Mr. Xue failed in his siege on Tianling Mountain, it still severely damaged the vitality of the entire Lingzhou area. The Buddhist sect, which was the shelter of the people of Lingzhou, was even more severely damaged.
In the past few years, the frequency of Buddhist disciples' activities in Lingzhou has dropped significantly compared to before, and has become increasingly rare. The monks of the Jade Buddha Temple rarely appear in front of people.
People thought this was because the Temple of the Emerald Buddha was building up strength to prepare for the upcoming catastrophe, but no one would have thought that the Temple of the Emerald Buddha would be in such a dilapidated appearance.
Yun Ying and Yun Hao went down the mountain together, heading southwest, and naturally discovered the unusual depression in Buddhism.
Until they actually arrived at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and saw the abandoned temple, they were filled with disbelief.
When Young Master Xue besieged Yuxu Sect, Yun Ying also came with everyone from Yuxu Sect to support the Jade Buddha Temple.
She knew that the Jade Buddha Temple suffered a lot of damage that year. All the four great monks were seriously injured, and nearly half of the disciples were also killed or injured.
However, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is one of the three pillars of the righteous path. Even if it is only half of its strength, with four great monks sitting in charge, it will never be wiped out so quietly!
Something unknown must have happened!
With vigilance, the two of them restrained their aura and followed the path up the mountain.
The reason why he didn't just fly to the top of the mountain with his sword was partly because he was afraid that there might be something dangerous hidden in the mountain, and he would become a target if he flew in the sky.
On the other hand, they wanted to see if there were any clues left on the mountain that would allow them to find out why the Temple of the Emerald Buddha became what it is today.
However, until the two of them followed the path that was almost submerged in weeds to the simple Buddhist temple on the top of the mountain, they did not encounter any danger, nor did they find any clues.
After searching the small Buddhist temple, neither of them saw any trace of recent human activity.
Knowing that Yun Ying and Yun Hao followed the route in memory to a cliff in the back mountain, they finally saw a living monk.
Said to be a living person, its appearance is more like a mummy.
His face was thin, and the dust almost completely covered his face and clothes, making it impossible to see his original appearance, making him look a bit scary.
It seemed that the monk had been sitting under the cliff for a long time, and the grass even covered most of his lower body.
If it weren't for the fact that his chest was still rising and falling slightly, it would be hard to believe that he was still alive.
Yun Ying was shocked when he saw this man.
This was not because she was frightened by the terrifying appearance of the monk in front of her. After all, she had reached the realm of refining gods. Even if a real zombie appeared in front of her, she would not be afraid.
The reason that surprised her was that the person in front of her had been here motionless for at least half a year. He had not died for such a long time, so his cultivation level must be extremely high, even no less than hers.
It is said that when one has reached this level of cultivation, he has long since become dust-free, and there is no way he would be covered in dust like this.
Yun Ying couldn't imagine what this person had gone through to become like this.
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Yun Ying glanced at Yun Hao, who was still stunned, and walked towards the monk sitting cross-legged alone.
When Yun Hao saw Yun Ying's movements, he was afraid of an accident and ignored the doubts and shock in his heart, so he hurriedly followed.
