Yun Feng suddenly turned his head back, his eyes filled with anger, looking at the gentle and elegant Xiao Zi walking towards him, he asked in a low voice: "Why was the information so far off?"

  "Goodness, I was just going to see my little lover and killer to gather information. Isn't it Red Sleeve and Shadow Killer's responsibility? Moreover, Luo Shengyi and Jiang Zhimiao are both well-known masters on the human ranking list. Their prowess doesn't need me to elaborate, does it? You two think so highly of yourselves, yet you went to surround and kill Jiang Zhimiao with just the two of you. How strange!"

  Yun Feng's facial muscles twitched a few times, looking at the white-robed Bai Yi, who seemed to have just returned from bathing, with no dust on her. The anger in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he said with a forced smile: "Why would I blame you? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even be able to kill one enemy, so we should thank you instead."

  Two moves, took away two open-minded masters' lives, easy and elegant, how dare he underestimate Xia Zi again?

  The former can be said to have just opened up and is not good at close combat, while the latter is obviously a strong player who has been open for a long time and has excellent knife skills. Even if he launches a sneak attack, he can't guarantee that he will easily solve it, and Xia Zi's current state shows that her strength cannot be underestimated!

  "Cloud Gongzi knows books and reaches reason, ah, no, knows emotions and understands interest, also not right, communicates emotions and reaches reason, really makes me happy." Little Purple said with a smile that was clever and playful, obviously teasing Cloud Thunder.

  Su Yuan Ying's face sank, and he said in a cold tone: "Who are you?"

  He had a peculiar gaze, with an air of mystery about him. On several occasions when Xia Zi was being unusually reserved, he faintly sensed that she was not as insignificant as she claimed to be, and even wondered if "Xia Zi" might not be her real name.

  "I'm Xiaozi, Su Gongzi, have you been stabbed in the brain by Jiang Zhiwei? Your memory is not as good as before." Xiaozi said with a smile, "There's something I need to remind Su Gongzi, the Ten Thousand Calamity Yin Spirit can't enter the holy land, and it's also a yin spirit that relies on external forces."

  Su Yuan's pale face suddenly turned bright red, looking at Xiao Zi in disbelief: "You, what are you talking about!"

  How did she know? How did she know?

  "A gust of gloomy and evil air, I don't want to smell it, but it keeps drilling into my nose. This kind of thing, a young girl like me has seen too much." Little Purple said with a hint of smile at the corner of her mouth.

  Yun Feng gazed deeply at Xiao Zi, feeling that she was increasingly mysterious and extraordinary. What kind of person was this? Where did she come from?

  The land lord next to him was full of doubts, what "human list"? What is the fate of the spirits? He wanted to ask questions, but he also remembered the siege this time, and his side was in a precarious situation. He had to rely on these few strange strong men, and the master had repeatedly sent letters to respect them and win them over, so he couldn't help but suppress the doubts in his heart.

  At this moment, a shrill bird cry came from mid-air, and a strange bird with rotten flesh and disheveled black feathers landed on the shoulder of the statue.

  This strange bird has a thick demonic aura, with a piece of paper tied to its foot.

  Di Zun took the note from below, unfolded it and read it out loud to Yun Tianfeng, Su Yuan Ying and others: "The Master has an order, let us go and gather."

  …………

  "Mokutan is dead, everyone will be rewarded with 50 good deeds."

  The voice of the master of the six paths of reincarnation echoed in everyone's ears, and Zhang Yuanshan had already brought Fu Zhenshen to the broken temple. Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not understanding why the death of this Mo Tong should be counted on their own heads.

  Jiang Zhi thought for a moment and said: "I roughly understand, Mo Tong is 'instead of' the person with vertical eyes on his brow who died."

  "Substitution and corpse borrowing are not uncommon, but basically only those with strength above the external scene are involved. This person with a vertical eye between their eyebrows is indeed cunning. " Luo Shengyi stroked the calm face of Xia Dandan in front of him, his tone heavy as he said, "I didn't expect the enemy to trigger a heavenly phenomenon, creating a massive sandstorm, which led to this disaster."

  He is not a man who shirks responsibility, and this time's assassination plan was his own initiative, so facing Xia Dandan's death, he did not resent Meng Qi and others.

  "They also underestimated our strength, if they concentrated their efforts to kill one or two of us, I'm afraid none of us would have escaped, this is the crime of being short-sighted, each of us has it." Zhang Yuanshan said seriously, things had already passed, self-blame and regret were useless now, what was important was to learn from the lesson and not underestimate the enemy again.

  Meng Qi thought of the nervous and fidgety Gu Xiao Sang, gritted his teeth and said: "Fortunately after this battle, we already know the general abilities of the opposing camp, so we won't underestimate them again in the future. But I don't know how many divine techniques and ultimate skills Gu Xiao Sang has mastered from the 'Unborn Ancient Mother's Descent to the World Scripture', absolutely can't just focus on Unborn Finger."

  The dead are not to be mentioned again, the guy with a vertical eye in his brow is clearly taking the spiritual attack route, borrowing the momentum of heaven and earth to attack. The thick-browed gentleman with scattered hair may have the Northern Ming Divine Art or the Stellar Devouring Great Method, with profound internal strength, every punch and palm having immense power. However, according to Luo Shengyi's description, when he used the Seven Injury Fist and the Great Fierce Demon Fist to attack, his opponent's moves tended towards mysterious and subtle changes rather than strong and hard clashes.

  "Yes, we must be careful, but I don't know why the person with a vertical eye between their eyebrows can borrow the power of heaven and earth, and why they can die and come back to life. If we don't figure out this point, I'm afraid we'll fall into his trap again." Luo Shengyi said, looking at Jiang Zhimiao, Zhang Yuanshan, and Meng Qi. He thought that his experience in the cycle of reincarnation was stronger than theirs, but when it came to martial arts and different transcendent methods, he couldn't compare to these few famous sects' direct descendants. After all, there were too many items on the exchange list, who had the energy and time to look through them one by one?

  Meng Qi was still a nominal heir, and in order to make up for his lack of skills, he had not made much progress in this area, so he looked at Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshan together.

  Jiang Zhiwei pursed her lips and said: "I probably guessed it, it should be a branch of the Shendao, 'Yang Xie Shen'."

  "Nourishing evil spirits?" Zhang Yuanshan's expression became very solemn.

  Meng Qi's mouth twitched slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Luo Shengyi and Qi Zhengyan, symbol Zhenzhen, only to find that they had similar expressions. What exactly is this "Nourishing Evil Spirit"?

  I've only heard of "dancing with gods"...... Meng Qi muttered to himself.

  Jiang Zhiwei knew they didn't understand, so she explained in detail: "The normal way of becoming a god is to abandon the physical body and use the power of incense to recreate a divine body. After that, one can gradually sense the operation of the Heavenly Way, grasp some of its laws, merge them into oneself, ascend to the position of a god, and seek immortality. However, success or failure depends on the incense; I've never heard of any god who could last for ten thousand kalpas without being destroyed."

  "Besides the normal Shen Dao, there are also heavenly spirits and 'nourishing evil spirits' that imitate the heavenly spirits."

  "Cultivators cultivate a demon through various cruel and mysterious methods, then abandon their physical body as a furnace to nourish the demon. The true self exists within the physical body in a state of yin spirit possession. After making the demon grow into an 'evil god' through means such as absorbing, devouring, or sacrificing, the physical body will exhibit external characteristics, such as vertical pupils. Afterwards, one can use these external characteristics to borrow the power of the evil god to communicate with heaven and earth, driving the momentum of all things in heaven and earth. The stronger the evil god, the stronger one's own abilities."

  "However, evil spirits are prone to backlash and must be suppressed in various ways, such as being divided into different furnaces, etc. One's own physical body, due to years of erosion, also needs to be constantly 'replaced'. Nevertheless, with the evil spirit's assimilation, the physical body will always maintain a level above opening up, but even so, out of 100 people who cultivate evil spirits, 80 will die from the backlash, 19 will be annihilated by heavenly tribulation after the evil spirit grows to a certain extent, and only a very few can successfully cultivate an 'evil spirit' to ascend to godhood and merge with their own body."

  Meng Qi and Luo Shengyi listened with relish, the way of cultivation was indeed wonderful and strange, the Great Way had three thousand paths, and the side doors had eight hundred, all could move forward!

  "So, after killing the person with a vertical eye in their brow, one cannot be careless. If his yin spirit is completely extinguished, the evil spirits inside his body will lose control and be influenced by the brutal and murderous aura, slaughtering everything around him."

  Although 'nurturing evil spirits' is extremely easy to get started with, and advancing through the ranks is also very quick, as long as one can endure the pain, be ruthless enough, and eliminate their conscience. However, the hidden dangers are too numerous, and those who succeed are few and far between, while those who fail cause exceptionally severe destruction. Therefore, after the Middle Ages, this method of cultivation was gradually abandoned. It is said that only the evil demon's nine paths, such as Luo Jiao, Chang Sheng Jiao, and Bu Ren Lou, still retain secret scriptures, and there are still people cultivating it.

  Jiang Zhiwei gently stroked the bronze-green scabbard of the White Rainbow Piercing Sun Sword with her right index finger. "If this method of cultivation wasn't so typical, I wouldn't have known about it even if the seniors in our sect hadn't specifically mentioned it."

  "If there's a master of the six paths to help, 'cultivating evil spirits' seems easier to get started and advance. Anyway, I believe He can directly exchange for evil spirit seeds, or even genuine evil gods."

  There were too many things in this regard, he hadn't flipped through them all.

  "Speaking of which, Zhang Yuanshan patted the waist sword and said: "From 'Yang Xie Shen', I have some understanding of the world's Tongyao and entering the spirit."

  "What's going on?" Meng Qi was very interested in that kind of ability to borrow power and escape, if he could master it himself, his Wind God Leg would no longer be just for show, and he could use the wind to travel thousands of miles.

  "They might be even worse than 'Yang Xian', at least Yang Xian's power can be controlled by himself."

  "The Demon Sect's Tongyou, should be assisted by the demonic energy in the body, it retains the demon master's 'will', can communicate with heaven and earth, drive the momentum of all things in heaven and earth, depending on the amount of demonic energy, produce different numbers of divine anomalies. However, demonic energy can corrode the mind and body, and only the respected ones, the sect masters can obtain the core demonic energy. Therefore, for ordinary Tongyou disciples, they must gain recognition from their superiors to further increase their strength, but will slowly lose their rationality and humanity, becoming cruel and bloodthirsty, completely turning into a puppet of demonic energy."

  "It's like that, huh..." Meng Qi felt slightly disappointed, but judging from the situation, Zhang Yuanshan's speculation should be close to the truth. "No wonder the seal of the demon tomb is the goal of the four major sects. Hehe, if they let the demonic energy leak out, it won't take long for them to face the army of Tongyao. But what about the Tongyao of the four major sects?"

  They can't possibly have magic powers, right?

  "The Demonic Cult relies on the residual 'will' of the Demon Lord, and they naturally rely on the 'consciousness' of the Four Great Seal Instruments." Jiang Zhiwei said calmly, "So, these four weapons are at least treasures that can communicate with heaven and earth."

  Treasured sword, equivalent to an external strongman's artifact! Except for Jiang Zhiwei, everyone else including Meng Qi had their breathing become slightly heavier.

  A weapon of this level is already a divine object, worth several thousand merits, and even in the Shaolin Temple, there are probably no more than a hundred.

  "Fengyun dagger, Taihua sword, Zhai Xing hand, Xiao Yue weaving... Judging from the ancient master's moves, perhaps he really borrowed the 'consciousness' of the Fengyun dagger." Luo Shengyi recalled the scene that night when the ancient empty mountain stirred up a violent wind, blowing away the poisonous substances.

  "No wonder the Wind Cloud Villa would escort the box containing the Wind Cloud Knife like it was a divine tablet when they went out...". Meng Qi suddenly enlightened, and the doubts in his heart were instantly resolved.
