Chapter 86: The Devastating Gale

  The method of Bai Qi is no different from pulling out a tiger's teeth.

  Zi Hong also couldn't help but think that when Yun Meng Zong was still around, they didn't feel that the sect was that important. Now that they had lost their place of cultivation, they felt helpless.

  No wonder every sect lets their disciples wander outside in the early stages, when there is no support from the sect, cultivators will feel the value of the sect. This can unconsciously increase the cohesion of the sect.

  Yunmeng Zong was destroyed, and Naluo didn't lend a hand to help. Zi Hong wouldn't be polite either. Alchemists aren't some kind of good men or believing women; for longevity, for power, stealing the earth's killing yin pulse isn't anything.

  Now that they had determined their direction, Bai Qi and Zi Hong flew towards Luo Fu.

  The sect of the Luofu Sect is located on Mount Luofu, less than two thousand miles away from Yunmeng Sect. However, within a radius of over a thousand miles outside Mount Luofu, there isn't even half a sect existing, and this place is all considered to be Luofu's territory.

  The Night Emperor's Gate took down Yunmeng Sect with a strong attack, but didn't send even half a person to the south, also not wanting to provoke Luo Fu.

  So Bai Qi and Zi Hong approached Luo Fu, it was much safer. Under the cover of Qingdi's clothes, unless there were fake Xian-level cultivators searching, no one in the mountains knew that two cultivators were secretly approaching Luo Fu.

  Two people because of things that need to be done are really not good at being open and brazen, so they can't use the Taoist method of flying, but instead climb mountains and cross ridges, walking towards Fuzeshan.

  Along the way, they encountered fierce beasts and monsters, all of which were dealt with by Bai Qi using his martial skills. The two of them didn't use any magic spells, so they didn't stir up any trouble. After about half a month's time, they arrived near Mount Fuzi.

  Fuzesanzan looks majestic, standing out uniquely among the continuous mountain ranges. Not a single blade of grass grows on the mountain, and the rocks on its body are grayish white, giving Fuzesanzan a somewhat ancient flavor.

  This was once a treacherous place, where the immortals of the Luofu Sect spent a great deal of energy to eliminate the evil demons in Mount Fuzhe, suppressing the earth's evil spirit and allowing the surrounding living beings to no longer suffer. Originally, this mountain range was called Duan Tou Shan (Broken Head Mountain). The master of the demonic sect back then created the Bone Spirit Array, combining it with the earth's evil spirit to kill countless human and demon cultivators, until today, there are still no living beings that dare to appear here, and the earth's evil spirit remains unbroken, all living things must avoid this Mount Fuzhe.

  Zi Hong had read about the introduction of Fuzi Mountain, and various schools of Taoism had records of this special place in the world, so that the disciples of the school would not encounter unexpected events in the future.

  Because of the nine states under heaven, the demonic path was completely extinguished, so Luo Fu didn't send any immortal to guard this place, but only let the cultivators in the Hua Shen period take turns to watch.

  Occasionally, some cultivators of the Gate of Refining would come here to utilize the Earthly Fiendish Veins to refine equipment and create powerful killing tools. The Earthly Fiendish Veins were not conducive to longevity, so the Luo Floating Sect cultivators who came here would change shifts about once a month.

  Bai Qi did not dare to enter Fuzeshan rashly. Outside the mountain range, Luo Fu had set up a large array. This array was used to prevent the evil energy from leaking out of the mountain and harming the living beings around it. However, Bai Qi didn't know if there were any warning effects.

  Mount Fuzi has more than seventy peaks. Bai Qi first called out Pilu Tongzi and asked if he had any way to find the alchemist of Luofu first.

  Bailu Tongzi said: "Old master, this is easy. The poisonous bees left last time, I can already control them."

  Bailu Tongzi said, summoning hundreds of golden-winged leaf-cutting bees and releasing them. Those golden-winged leaf-cutting bees were demonic beasts of a low level, but extremely poisonous and terrifying. Bailu Tongzi had specifically chosen very weak ones to avoid startling the Luo Fu Lian Qi warriors. After about half a day, those golden-winged leaf-cutting bees all flew back, dancing in front of Bailu Tongzi.

  "Old master, that Luo Fu's Qi refining cultivator is on the mountain peak in front of us. He has set up a formation around himself and as long as we don't use Dao techniques, he won't be able to see us with his eyes. The large formation in this mountain also won't react if a beginner Qi refining cultivator enters."

  "That's great, let's cross over from the last mountain peak and find that land evil spirit vein." Bai Qi said, letting Bi Luo Tongzi return to the demon gourd, he activated the Taoist technique on Qingdi's clothes, a strand of clear wind wrapped around him and Zi Hong, but they still couldn't fly, he had to rely on walking to avoid the attention of the Luofu Mountain alchemists.

  Zi Hong has been busy in the mountains for some time, and has changed into a coarse linen robe, returning to his Jianghu heroic attire. However, when facing an immortal's words, he couldn't hide his identity. He didn't have time to consider the consequences of doing such things, as according to reason, Luo Fu wouldn't possibly dispatch immortals to garrison here.

  The last peak was several miles wide, and Qingdi was afraid that the cultivator would see it, so he didn't dare to believe Bi Luo Tongzi's words. Qingdi suppressed his and Zi Hong's aura, making them look like they were not even in the Nascent Soul stage. The two of them followed the gap between the mountains, slowly probing inward.

  After entering the Luo Fu array, Bai Qi felt that the surrounding environment was sometimes cold and sometimes hot. When it was cold, the wind was biting, and when it was hot, it seemed like a fierce fire was burning his body. The rocks in the mountains were all crushed, indicating that they had gone through intense battles. Inside and outside the array, everything was blocked off. After passing over this mountain, the two people could no longer see the sun in the sky.

  The more inward it was, the stronger this feeling became. Fortunately, Bai Qi had the Qing Emperor's clothes to protect his body, and Zi Hong's strength was much higher than his, so nothing dangerous happened.

  Because there was no forest to shelter them, the two people's progress was very slow. Luo Fu's refining gas master stood on the highest mountain peak, overlooking the mountains.

  Beyond the Five Peaks, the high peak in front stood upright, and in the middle of the mountain peak, there was a huge crack, like a knife cut. The wind blowing out of this crack already had color.

  In that gray wind, there was a killing aura that all cultivators disliked. But Bai Qi was overjoyed, for the Earthly Yin Vein was nearby!

  "Sister, take a dan medicine." Bai Qi could hold on himself, but Zi Hong couldn't. She didn't dare to use her Taoist skills to resist the killing energy, and could only rely on the yuanqi in her body to forcibly endure it. This caused the consumption of yuanqi to increase several times.

  Zi Hong nodded, in a place like this, if she was still stingy with her medicine, it would be seeking death.

  One in front and one behind, Bai Qi took the lead, the two of them increased their speed, passing through the mountain peak's gap.

  That grey wind blowing on me has lost its distinction between cold and heat, it's just a lingering pain.

  As she walked to the point where she was about to see the end, a gust of even thicker evil wind blew from the side, and Zi Hong shuddered. She immediately swallowed the Purple Yang Refining God Pill that was in her mouth, but despite this, she was still injured. The skin that had been blown by the evil wind was already pitch black.

  Helpless, Zi Hong took out the second Purple Sun Refining Spirit Pill and swallowed it, dissolving the medicinal power to dispel the evil spirits.

  The place where the evil wind blows is a cave that's no bigger than a fist, with giant black ants entering and exiting from its edges, it's an anthill. These ants have gray wings on their backs, when they see two humans approaching, they immediately fly over, open their mouthparts and bite.

  Bai Qi raised his spear and stabbed, the Seven Star Demon Spear's speed was incredibly fast, in the blink of an eye he had killed over a hundred giant ants. After Zi Hong retreated, Bai Qi drew out the Qingfeng Sword and tossed it over, saying: "Expand the cave, let's go inside."

  "Go in?"

  Zi Hong drew his sword and rushed forward, slashing at the entrance of the anthill despite still having doubts.

  The mountain rock is not particularly solid, and the Green Edge Sword only chopped a few dozen times to expand the small hole into one that can allow people to enter and exit. However, inside the cave was not an ordinary ant nest structure, but a natural mountain cave that had been pierced by giant ants for entry and exit.

  Bai Qi said: "Inside may be connected to the exit of the earth evil, these ants come out to find salt!"

  Killing the ants, Bai Qi and Zi Hong destroyed the cave together. He didn't dare to use his Taoist skills, but his strength was also incredibly great. Under the chaotic thrusts of the Seven Stars Fumo Gun, the cave was already spacious enough for them to stand and walk around.

  The cave in the mountain was even more spacious, Bai Qi was the first to walk in, his long spear continuously making thrusting motions, dealing with the giant ants entering and exiting.

  This giant ant is just a demonic beast, not a true demon tribe, and has never cultivated. Relying on its iron-like mouthparts, it has dug out many tunnels in this mountain range, absorbing the power of the earth's yin veins to survive. However, this demonic beast also needs to drink water and eat salt, which is how Bai Qi discovered the hollow belly of the mountain.

  The cave went all the way down. At this time, Zi Hong had already driven away the evil spirit and said to Bai Qi: "Using Taoist techniques here should be harmless now, and people outside won't notice."

  Bai nodded his head, this was the real reason he entered the mountain belly.

  "If we don't connect with the land's evil energy here, let's wait until nightfall to go out, and our speed can be faster." Bai Qi had already made up his mind. If all else fails, he would cultivate here, and the power emitted by the land's evil energy could be absorbed using the Inverse Scale Spear, which was already comparable to Hidden Marsh.

  Using Taoist magic, the speed of advancement would be much faster.

  The cave went all the way down, getting wider and wider, with many forks in the road. The only living thing was a kind of black giant ant, whose attacking power was quite large, but it had no magic, and Bai Qi released the Moon Wheel Sword Pill, sweeping away a whole area at once.

  After going down for a few li, Bai Qi felt that he was already about one li away from the ground. The density of the evil spirit was getting stronger and stronger. Suddenly, a fierce gust of evil air blew towards him, and Bai Qi's face changed. He turned around and opened his Qing Emperor robe, wrapping Zi Hong inside as well.

  The intensity of this evil spirit far exceeded that gray wind.

  Zi Hong was about to push Bai Qi away, but suddenly found that the killing intent had increased a hundredfold. He simply hid directly in Bai Qi's arms, and the two people shrank into a corner, not moving at all.

  Bai Qi's premonition was very accurate, and after this evil energy burst out, it became more and more intense, and it was no longer something that Zi Hong could resist. However, Bai Qi did not dare to use the Inverse Scale Spear, as the movement of extracting the evil energy was too violent, and the Inverse Scale Spear in the demon space was very honest, as if it knew that Bai Qi wanted to find the source of this evil energy.

  A wave of evil energy blew for a full quarter of an hour before stopping, but Bai Qi didn't dare to move. He waited for a while, and the second wave of evil energy began to surge again, with an interval of half a quarter of an hour.

  The entire cave was like a monster's nostril, with the evil wind formed by the ominous energy resembling the mountain itself breathing.

  "It's a malevolent aura." Zi Hong said with some trembling.
