Beng Rong · Chi Xia Shen Jun

  That Taoist was indeed the disciple of Chi Xia Shen Jun Bing Rong, named Miao Hua Zhen Ren Qi Zhang. He was slapped to the ground by Yue Qing and couldn't help but feel both ashamed and angry. He jumped up from the ground, pointed at Yue Qing and scolded: "You little brat is looking for death!" As he opened his mouth, a dark red flying sword shot out, heading straight for Yue Qing's throat.

  Yue Qing seemed to disappear into thin air as he stepped forward, and it was unclear how he moved his body. He took two steps back and let the flying sword pass by, then strode sideways into the cave.

  Zhang's flying sword pierced the air, shooting out of the cave for over ten meters, suddenly turning its head to fly and slash behind Lei's dragon, while also using the Master-transmitted Ten Thousand Poisonous Palm, releasing a palm-sized, black smoke-shrouded hand that fiercely struck Yue Qing's back.

  Yue Qing continued to walk into the cave without looking back, the Thousand Poison Palm's momentum was extremely fast, but it couldn't catch up with its target. Yue Qing turned right into a passageway and entered the right cave, the black and yellow palm directly hit the wall opposite, making a cracking sound, and shattered stones splashed everywhere, leaving a deep palm print more than ten feet high, black and yellow smoke filled the room, emitting waves of foul odor.

  Qi Zhang shouted loudly and was about to chase, but Lei Qilong had already released the White Light Sword to intercept him. Wei Fengniang's White Light Sword was forged according to the Jade Pool Heavenly Book on the top of Tian Shan Mountain after many years of hard work, its power is not trivial. The white light flashed, Qi Zhang couldn't dodge, and was lightly grazed by the immortal sword. With a loud bang, a cloud of smoke burst forth, and when it landed, only a small finger remained.

  Zhang Qi summoned the Disintegrating Body Replacement Technique and flew onto the stone table, pointing at Lei Qi Long and scolding loudly: "You little beast, how dare you be so presumptuous! Today I'll let you die without a place to bury your body!" He then recalled his flying sword to fight alongside Lei Qi Long.

  Yuè Qīng rushed into the inner cave, which was an extremely large cave. In the center, there was a magic pool about 4-5 zhang long and wide, surrounded by bloody fog, with sixteen banners fluttering in the wind. According to the formation, they were inserted in place, with Zōu Qín and Bǐng Róng standing on either side of the south and north, each holding one main banner.

  In the midst of the demonic fog, there were two primordial spirits, a male and a female, who were captured by magic and forcibly pulled towards the main banner. Their bodies were compressed to over a foot in height, as they loudly cursed and cast spells to counter each other. A string of bean-sized bubbles shot out from their fingers, exploding into clusters of five-colored flames that dispersed a significant amount of the demonic fog.

  Beng Rong shouted loudly: "Zhuo Daoist friend, please hurry up and cast your spell!"

  Zhuo Yuanfeng held the Dharma Realm in his hand, and from within it shot out tens of millions of Blood-Transforming Divine Needles, which flew towards the pool like a sudden rainstorm. The Stone Immortal Couple's primordial spirits were unable to withstand the attack, and they felt as if they were being pierced by countless needles, suffering unbearable pain. However, their primordial spirits had form but no substance, so the flying needles passed through their bodies, and they immediately recovered. They couldn't die, but only suffered a loss of spiritual energy. At the same time, Ling Rong and Zou Qin cast their spells, and the sixteen-faced Demon Flag simultaneously shook and waved, with the main flag hanging down and enveloping the couple in its bloody aura. The two then pulled and tugged at the flag, spinning it around, and once again held their treasured swords, reciting incantations to refine and purify them.

  Yue Qing's arrival shocked the three of them. Bing Rong was not afraid of him, but the refining method had reached a critical point and could not be abandoned halfway. Therefore, he wanted to rely on their past friendship to calm Yue Qing down first, and then turn against him after the time had passed.

  But little did he know that Zhuo Yuanfeng had another idea in mind. Zhongtiao Mountain's Liu Shenjun and Huashan School had a deep relationship, which he was aware of. Although the eldest of the six gods and Taiyi Hunyuan Zushi had some past grievances, they had already made amends after mediation. Now that he had become a stray dog, he was worried that Leng Rong and Zou Qin would help him take back the mountain gate together, fearing that Leng Rong would collude with Yue Qing to deal with him. Therefore, he rushed in front of Leng Rong and shouted: "You scoundrel surnamed Yue, you actually chased me here! You should know that Grandpa is not easy to mess with!" He then turned the magic mirror towards Yue Qing, and a dense red needle-like light rain burst out from within.

  Yue Qing didn't use the Taiyi Wuyan Luo to resist, but instead swung the Xuan Guang Chi, sending out thousands of tea cup-sized light circles flying in front of him. The Blood God Needles transformed and landed on them, making a crackling sound, sharp explosions, and bursting into countless flowing lights and colors, like a fiery tree with silver flowers.

  "Second brother, you two promised to help me avenge and retake Mount Heng. Now that the creditor has arrived at our doorstep, are you still not taking action? What more are you waiting for?" With a flick of his fingers, he shot out dozens of Blood-Transforming Thunderbolts in succession, and from his sleeves flew two Yellow Cloud Swords.

  Zou Qin was on good terms with Long Fei, and he often went to Qingluo Gorge as a guest. He had heard Long Fei speak ill of Yue Qing many times, and they had long agreed that once Long Fei refined the White Bone Hell King Pearl, they would go to Wutai Mountain together to take back their sect's legacy. Today, they met here by chance, and it was just right to join forces with Bing Rong and Zhuo Yuanfeng to get rid of Yue Qing. At the same time, they could sell Long Fei and Fa Yuan a great favor. He sat on the altar, echoing Zhuo Yuanfeng: "That's right! The surname Yue is treacherous and unfaithful, not even his own sect brothers can tolerate him, he should be killed together!" His eyes were tightly pressed under his thick eyebrows, looking at the jade ruler in Yue Qing's hand with a greedy expression. He first released three magic knives, which brought up a burst of wind that sounded like a woman's mournful cry, turning into three blood lights that flew over and directly cut through thousands of light circles, chopping Yue Qing into several pieces.

  The three of them were stunned, never expecting it to be so easy. Suddenly, Zhuo Yuanfeng let out a loud cry and pointed with his hand: "It's here!"

  Yu Qing originally didn't know when he also transformed into a small person over one foot tall, appearing in the magic pool, obviously also a manifestation of his primordial spirit.

  Beng Rong's face revealed a joyful expression: "He actually took the bait himself, two fellow Taoists quickly perform the ritual and refine his primordial spirit!"

  Sixteen demonic flags fluttered simultaneously, shooting out thick demonic fog, and Yue Qing floated up and down inside, as if he was in the middle of a vast ocean.

  Beng Rong and Zou Qin simultaneously cast their spells, biting the tip of their tongues and spitting out a thousand points of essence blood. They chanted incantations, urging on the magic, attracting hundreds of demonic souls. In an instant, the cave was filled with tangible and intangible demon heads, casting eerie shadows everywhere. The sound of sighs from old men, wails from children, roars from men, shrieks from women, chirping birds, howling beasts, gurgling springs, and raging waves all blended together, stunning the soul. Beng Rong and Zou Qin used their magic to protect the primordial spirits of Stone Immortal King and his wife, desperately trying to help them ascend to the heavens. Meanwhile, they drove away those demon heads, ordering them to go kill Yue Qing.

  However, they did not know that Yue Qing's primordial spirit was a division of the Taiqing Tongxuan Shentong, and was formed from the green light of the lamp fire. The demon head could not see it, hear it, or catch it, but had determined that the two primordial spirits were delicious, and frantically attacked the two people's magical defenses.

  Beng Rong shouted as he sprayed his blood essence, pointing his sword at Yue Qing in the center of the demonic pool: "The delicacy is right before you, why wait any longer to savor it?"

  However, the demon heads were all unmoved by Yue Qing. Some were even attracted to his blood and directly pounced on the altar to attack him. Fortunately, there were divine flags standing on the altar, and the two gods guarding the altar tightly protected it.

  Beng Rong's face turned pale, having lost a lot of his vital energy. He saw that Yue Qing in the pool was not affected by the demonic head's image at all, and instead swam leisurely through the demonic fog to join forces with Shi Xian Wang. Suddenly enraged, he released his treasured Red Python, which moved extremely quickly. To others, it seemed like only two intersecting red lines were visible before they could even react, and Yue Qing was already cut in two.

  Yue Qing was cut into two segments. Before the three of them could even rejoice, a flash of golden light appeared, and each of them transformed into a Yue Qing.

  Bing Rong's eyes almost popped out, his primordial spirit was split in two, and at most it would immediately merge back together, recovering as before. This is still only possible for a powerful Earth Immortal who has condensed their primordial infant, otherwise they would inevitably suffer severe damage to their primordial energy, taking at least several months to recover. Moreover, Bing Rong's Red Python Shears are specialized in harming people's primordial spirits, one snip and both body and spirit would be destroyed, even an Earth Immortal's primordial spirit wouldn't be able to withstand it. None of them could have imagined that after being cut by the shears, Yue Qing would end up like this.

  Zou Qin exclaimed, "Is it the Three Corpse God?" Just as he was about to try again with his own magic knife, Lei Qilong flew in from outside the cave. Zou Qin recognized Lei Qilong and asked, "Aren't you a disciple of Wei Gongzhong of Qingluo Gorge? How did you end up here?"

  Wei Fengniang did not allow her direct disciples to get entangled with the various demonic sects, and instead opened up a cave dwelling in the Great Snowy Mountains for them to reside. Although she often went to the Wanmo Divine Palace, she was not very familiar with the demonic sects inside Qingluo Gorge or their guests.

  When Zou Qin called out his own identity, Lei Qilong was slightly surprised and looked up to measure him. Before he could speak, Zhuo Yuanfeng had already flown two yellow cloud swords to slash over, shouting: "It's this little dog, and the dog thief surnamed Yue are in cahoots!" He had planned to shout like this, and then take the lead in taking action, Zou Qin and Bing Rong would have been forced to take action as before, but unexpectedly his flying swords were tangled with Lei Qilong's, and neither of them made a move.

  He didn't know that Wei Fengniang's great name was now renowned throughout the world, and when the masters of the four demonic sects sat together to determine their seating order, Wei Fengniang was in the first position. The Green Robed Old Ancestor and the Poisonous Dragon Respected One had to yield to her, she was the banner that led the way in the current demonic path, a leader among leaders. Zou Qin and Bing Rong could afford to look down on the Wutai Sect, even shouting about attacking Wutai and bathing Taizhen Palace in blood, but they didn't dare lightly lay hands on one of Wei Fengniang's disciples!
