"Haha!" Liao Xiao Jin stroked a purple wristband on his hand, grinning eerily: "What a pity! That Heaven-Defying Seal was destroyed by that detestable old Taoist. But nothing was taken from him, what a huge loss indeed!" Liao Xiao Jin still couldn't forget about the seal.
"Ah!" Zhou Qing also sighed, "That old Daoist was indeed a master, his cultivation was slightly higher than mine. The flying sword on his body was definitely not an ordinary treasure, unfortunately under the Blood God Knife, nothing could be left behind. However, the Luan Guang Ring in your hand is also a defensive artifact, exquisitely crafted. When you three fight against enemies, you can form a Three Talents Formation, as long as it's not a high-level master, I'm afraid they won't be able to break through your defense."
"Master, you're really sinister. That old Daoist had such a high level of cultivation, yet he was ambushed by you and killed with one knife. He was even smiling before that, and we didn't even know what was happening." Zhou Chen has been much more cheerful lately.
"Ah! Ah! Master, you're ruthless and merciless, your change of heart is faster than flipping a book. You're truly a classic example of 'hiding a knife in a smile'!" Liao Xiao Jin also chimed in to help, while carefully observing Zhou Qing's expression, seeing if he was embarrassed or not.
"Hmph! The Way of Heaven, the Way of Law, the way of war is a treacherous one. When facing an enemy, clever tactics are employed, and it all depends on a single thought." Zhou Qing's expression was natural, without any hint of embarrassment. "That old Daoist was narrow-minded and didn't know how to defend himself. If he had fled at the time, I really wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. Now that the news has spread, we would definitely be beaten to a pulp by the high-ranking masters of Maoshan and other Daoist sects. What leisurely mood is there to discuss right and wrong?"
"Master will give you a good lesson in politics today!" Zhou Qing said with increasing complacency, "Practitioners of the Tao pursue great power. The world of Taoism is different from the secular world. In the world of Taoism, only life and death are discussed, not right or wrong. Even in the secular world, it's not just about speaking loudly, but also about reason. You must remember that the struggles of practitioners are extremely dangerous, and life and death can be decided in an instant. It's not like a martial arts competition where you can hold back, nor is it like a contest of flying swords and magic treasures, where one careless move can lead to eternal damnation and destruction of both body and spirit, without even the chance to go to hell. So, you absolutely cannot hold back, if someone should be killed, then kill them."
"Only discuss life and death, don't argue about right or wrong!" Liao Xiaojin savored these eight words carefully, feeling they made a lot of sense. Zhou Chen was still okay, after all he was a monster, his principle was survival of the fittest, but having mixed with humans for so long, he had unknowingly picked up human habits. Now hearing Zhou Qing say this, it seemed like he had returned to when he was young in the mountains, and his father used to warn him like this. For a moment, he was stunned.
"Master, you said we killed those few Maoshan disciples. Do they know about it now? Will they investigate us?" Zhou Chen was still quite worried about this matter.
"What's to fear, it's just that something has happened above our heads again. Master's divine skill is unparalleled, even the Dustless Ancient Dao was killed in one sword strike. How many more Transcendent experts are there in the Cultivation world?" Liao Xiao Jin flattered excessively.
"Nonsense, that was a sneak attack, and the Blood God Knife's ancient magic power is unmatched, which is why I succeeded in one hit. If there were two of them, I wouldn't even have time to run away. Even if my whole body was made of iron, how many iron nails could I withstand? Besides, the Blood God Knife is extremely prone to backfiring, and the Heavenly Demon Array's poison is unmatched. You've all seen its power, unless your skills reach the level of the ancient Magic Path Master Yu Hua, you can't control it at will. Unless absolutely necessary, I dare not use it again." Liao Xiao Jin was scolded by Zhou Qing after slapping his thigh.
But Liao Xiaojin couldn't help but shudder at the thought of that scene and the withered forest that followed, deeply convinced.
"Morning, the demonic aura on you has been covered up by the jade talisman I made for you, but a keen person may still be able to see through it. You'd better not go out, focus on your cultivation, and wait for the storm to pass. Then we'll go find that Tian Xuan Blood Demon and see if he can withstand my sword's might! Hmph! He calls himself the Blood Demon, but my divine sword is called 'Blood Dissolver', what a coincidence! Hmph!" Zhou Qing sneered.
Zhou Chen's heart suddenly filled with excitement, since Zhou Qing agreed to help, the chances of revenge had increased greatly. Originally, he still had some doubts about Zhou Qing's strength, because that day against Tian Xuan Blood Demon, Zhou Qing was slightly inferior. But ever since seeing Zhou Qing's one-knife power that day, his admiration for Zhou Qing's strength was simply boundless.
Ling Fei was also quite depressed in his heart, not just because he had been removed from the position of leader of the Dragon Group. This dragon group, although it is a small group with only about 100 members, indirectly controls almost all the Taoist movements in China, especially with the addition of new members, whose family power is astonishingly great. The position of group leader is indeed a very important and powerful one. Ling Fei was able to become the group leader because on the one hand he had strong abilities, secondly, as a disciple of Kunlun, which is the leader of the Taoist sects, other sects did not dare to say anything against him, thirdly, his family's power was also enormous, with business interests in almost every field, and several members of his family held high-ranking positions in the government.
This time, Ling Fei knew it was a family feud. Xiang Hui's actions were sinister and didn't distinguish between good and evil. Several times, they had conflicts with each other. This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to suddenly attack, he himself didn't know anything beforehand. It seems that his own family's internal struggle has been at a disadvantage. Especially afraid that Shu Shan might have also intervened, this Shu Shan sect has always been arrogant and self-important since its founding by Longmei Old Ancestor, never putting other sects in their eyes. If it weren't for the Kunlun Dao's exquisite methods and superior strength, they would have long ago raised their flag and claimed to be the number one Daoist sect under heaven.
What's even more depressing is that this time, I came to ask Master for help, asking Master to come out of retirement, saying that the magical expert from back then has appeared again. But after hearing it, Master had a strange expression and remained silent for a long time, finally driving me away and telling me to think of a solution myself. It seems that if I don't get to the bottom of this matter, I'm afraid there won't be any chance for me to turn things around.
Ling Fei's sword flew erratically in the high sky, fortunately it was at night, otherwise it would have scared a large crowd of people, and when the news spread, he feared it would be another crime. Ling Fei thought to himself in confusion.
Hiss! A golden light flashed across the sky, bringing with it a strong gust of wind. Ling Fei's eyes narrowed, this person was also a fellow practitioner, how could he be so arrogant and cause such a commotion? Although it was nighttime, it was still very unwise. In the blink of an eye, the golden light had already stopped in front of Ling Fei.
Three zhang tall, five chi wide, a golden sword light stood on it, a young man wearing a bright yellow Taoist robe, the collar fluttering in the night wind, as if he was an immortal, his appearance was extremely good, others saw him and said that they would immediately burn incense and worship.
