Shaking his head, Meng Qi decided not to bother with them and continued to cultivate the Golden Bell Shield, anyway it had nothing to do with him.

  After a while, Meng Qi heard the footsteps again from afar, and understood that Zhen Chang and others had returned. Out of curiosity about what the demon who betrayed the Cui family looked like, he opened his eyes and looked over.

  After the four of them, a big man with stumbling footsteps followed, his long hair scattered and covering his face, without any trace related to the monster on his body.

  "After the demon transformed, it surprisingly didn't show any flaws... how will we distinguish them in the future..." Meng Qi thought with some worry, but immediately put down this thought. The demon clan has a long history and is extremely powerful, yet they are now dominated by the human race, so their predecessors must have left behind rich experiences to deal with them."

  When Meng Qi passed by again, Xuan Ku and Zhen Chang, as well as the middle-aged man of the Cui family, didn't pay attention to him anymore. After all, he wasn't practicing some kind of rare and strange martial art.

  It was the young man who still had a bit of childishness that intentionally slowed down his pace and leaned towards the outside of the cold turtle prison, wanting to carefully observe the unformed demon.

  He was very curious about this, and on the way, he was looking for opportunities, but he knew that most of the demon beasts suppressed here were terrifying in strength. If he rashly approached them, it would be easy to get hurt by their aura. Therefore, he finally chose Huo Ju and Han Gui.

  A young and weak little monk can practice outside their cells, which means they are definitely not some kind of particularly powerful or ferocious monsters.

  A young man's skin shone with a layer of purple light, dispelling the chill and approaching the cold turtle.

  Roar!

  Confronted with the approach of humans and a kind of inexplicable provocation, the cold turtle suddenly erupted, rushing to the iron railing, its mouth wide open, roaring loudly, spewing out cold air.

  The cage was surrounded by a million characters that lit up one after another, and the Buddhist mantra came out of thin air, blocking the chill and evil spirits, with only a small part dissipating.

  Affected by this traction, the other side of the fire swan also flapped its wings and flew out from the corner, with fierce flames rolling around it and evil energy rushing to the sky.

  Although there was a barrier of cage, the scattered demon energy and the meaning of icy heat intensified a lot, making Meng Qi feel tortured again. The fourth level of Jin Zhongzhao burst out in response, and his body showed dark gold.

  The young man who had not yet gotten used to the demonic aura was directly stunned, his legs slightly weakened, and the purple color of his skin froze inch by inch.

  Xuan Ku and Zhen Chang had never experienced such a situation before, and for a moment, they were also affected by the demonic energy and the scorching heat of the icy cold intent, slightly stunned.

  The long-haired monster still had its head buried, as if nothing had happened, because the middle-aged man of the Cui family was smiling and not smiling at it, with purple gas wrapped around his right hand, reaching for his own child.

  Enduring the pain, Meng Qi raised his head and slowly scanned Han Gui and Huo Ju, these two culprits!

  Meng Qi gave him a cold glance, and Han Gui suddenly froze, as if he had remembered something. Then, he directly retreated to the corner, shrinking his four limbs and head into his shell at the same time.

  The flapping Huo also calmed down and quietly returned to the corner, with his back facing Meng Qi.

  "Hmm..." Meng Qi himself was shocked by this reaction.

  "Hao'er, let's go." The middle-aged man from the Cui family spoke in a low voice, and since it was no longer dangerous, his right hand returned to its original position behind him.

  The young man was still in a state of shock and didn't say much, closely following behind.

  Xuan Ku and Zhen Chang were both shocked and suspicious, they opened their mouths but didn't know what to say, so they also proceeded in silence.

  Out of the prison, when Xuan Ku and Zhen Chang were canceling the " Extraction Token" with the guardian monk in the tower, the young man finally came to his senses and said angrily: "Dad, it was that little monk who made the monster scare me! Look at how obedient they are to him later, he must have tamed them!"

  "It wasn't him who controlled the demon." The middle-aged man sighed, "Hao'er, can't you see that the demon's retreat later on wasn't out of obedience, but fear?"

  "Scared?" The young man asked back in disbelief, would such a powerful demon be afraid of a weak little samanera?

  A middle-aged man looked at him carefully: "Haoer, weren't you originally planning to take this opportunity to travel?"

  "Yes." The young man didn't understand why his father suddenly mentioned this.

  A middle-aged man with his hands behind his back looked at Zhen Chang and Xuan Ku who were approaching, and said in a low voice: "With your current eyesight, traveling is just looking for death. Why not go home and wait for two more years?"

  "Dad!" The young man was suddenly struck by bad news, as if he had been struck by lightning.

  "As your father, I will discuss this with Qing Yu and the three uncles." The middle-aged man said, not allowing any rebuttal.

  …………

  "They're actually afraid of me?" Meng Qi thought back to the previous details and came to this inexplicable conclusion. The two powerful demons, who were many times stronger than himself at present, were actually afraid of him!

  "Was it when I was immersed in that profound and abstruse state of enlightenment, they were invaded by the 'Ashura's Broken Precept Blade' intent that I had unleashed, and still hadn't shaken off their fear?"

  Meng Qi pondered the reason, and if he were to replace himself with other top-notch experts of the same level as these two great demons, even if his own knife intent invaded him, it would only be a fleeting moment, and it wouldn't leave any shadows or form fear. However, these demons were sealed and suppressed here, unable to exert their strength, and their spirits were often tormented. Sooner or later, they would be influenced by the "Buddha Light" and "Scripture Sound" offered above the Sharira Pagoda, and their mental flaws wouldn't be ordinary.

  As Huo Jue, Han Gui and Chui Yi Zi were all far away from him, the refining effect had decreased a lot. Moreover, he didn't bring "Lingzhi Qiwan" with him, so Meng Qi simply got up, stretched his limbs, put on his monk's robe, and directly left the Sharira Tower.

  The warm sunshine brings the breath of spring.

  "It's been almost three months since I've really seen the sun, and I didn't think it would be so pleasing to my eyes." Meng Qi chuckled, narrowed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly felt that life was very beautiful.

  These days, Meng Qi has been going out early and returning late. Often after breakfast, before the sun had fully risen, he would enter the pagoda, and only leave when the sun sets.

  Of course, this is also due to the fact that the days are still short at the end of winter and the beginning of spring.

  With a brisk pace, Meng Qi walked towards the outside of the back mountain. Along the way, he encountered patrolling monks who looked at him with surprised eyes. So early today? Has he finally become lazy?

  Although they were on shift duty, Meng Qi had been here for almost three months and was naturally familiar with them. They knew that there was a young monk practicing in the stupa who would only come out when the sky turned dark.

  Their gaze didn't faze Meng Qi at all, and he comfortably enjoyed the clear spring day, his feet's red mud no longer having any impact on him.

  Through the narrow road between the two peaks, Meng Qi returned to the most familiar place, looking at the forest with a slight daze.

  Although I still don't understand what the internal connection is, it's precisely by guarding this place that I discovered the true view and my own strength had a leap in power.

  He strolled into the forest, intending to take a look at the secret path and see if anyone was guarding it.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, by the side of that red boulder, two yellow-robed monks were cautiously looking around.

  Meng Qi feared being discovered and didn't dare get close, so he turned around and left, walking towards the outside of the forest.

  One can temporarily enter and exit the rear mountain freely, but does not have the right to peek at the guards everywhere.

  As he walked, Meng Qi suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

  "Really, Brother Yong Shi?" Meng Qi opened his mouth in slight surprise.

  Zhen Yong was startled and took several steps back, only to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Meng Qi, then patted his chest and said: "Zhen Ding Shidi, you scared me to death, what are you doing here?"

  "I passed by and was curious about the secret passage, so I sneaked in to take a look." Meng Qi didn't bother to think of another excuse, anyway it wasn't a big deal, and he hadn't been caught red-handed by the guarding monks. "Zhen Yong Shixiong, what about you?"

  Zhen Yong covered his stomach and chuckled: "People have three urgencies, I'll guard the front today."

  "Oh." Meng Qi thought back to when he had used this excuse to come in and practice his sword, it was a bit strange, but he didn't say anything else, and bid farewell before leaving.

  Back in the small courtyard, as expected, Meng Qi saw his master Xuan Bei practicing knife techniques again.

  "Why are you up so early today? Can't stand the cold and heat at the same time?" Xuan Bei put away his sword, asking with an expression that didn't show any blame.

  After returning to the temple, Meng Qi was entangled in whether or not to tell his master, and how to tell him. When he remembered that Xuan Ku, Zhen Chang, and others had already seen his body reveal a dark gold color, resisting cold and heat, he finally made up his mind - this was the external manifestation of completing the fourth level of Jin Zhong Zhao!

  Xuan Bei saw Meng Qi's hesitation and revealed a comforting smile: "If you rush, you won't reach your destination. As your teacher, I may have given you too much pressure. Don't be discouraged."

  Meng Qi lowered his head and replied honestly: "Master, I have completed the fourth pass of the Golden Bell Shield."
