A precious sword worth thousands, a divine object. To say that Meng Qi didn't have a greedy heart would be impossible. He wasn't the kind of Daoist priest who had cut off worldly desires and emotions. Every time he used "Duan Qing Jing", he would be disturbed by emotions such as desire, righteousness, familial love, greed, and fear. Duan Qing Jing could clear other people's minds, but it also cleared his own mind. In daily life, he couldn't avoid being influenced and having bad thoughts.

  This is also the reason why "Anan Breaking Precept Knife Method" has been rarely practiced by high monks throughout the ages, because it goes against the Buddhist practice of purification. It must be constantly invaded and pulled by the red dust, karma, cause and effect, in order to temper a Buddha's mind and burst forth with pure crystal light. If one cannot pull oneself out, then the path to Buddhism will be completely cut off, unless there is a great opportunity for enlightenment in the future.

  However, not harming his companions is one of Meng Qi's bottom lines. As long as the other party has no other intentions, and this time's main task is to seal the demon tomb with the four major sects, requiring the simultaneous suppression of the four treasures, if he snatches away the treasure, he will offend the four major sects, and the main task will definitely not be completed. He will also lose his assistance and be pursued by the Demon Sect, the Four Major Sects, and the opposing reincarnators, making it extremely unlikely for him to return alive. The treasure must be in the hands of a strong outsider to exert its full power. Not to mention the time problem, even if he practices day and night, year after year, he can at most reach the level of Gu Kong Shan.

  What's most important is that these four treasures are the "Immortal's" sealed artifacts for suppressing the demonic tomb. Although they don't have a spiritual nature, they do have their own "will". If one were to rashly seize them without understanding the key points, it's possible that the treasures would automatically activate and unleash their full power, resulting in nothing but bones remaining.

  Perhaps it was the same struggle as Meng Qi's, for a short time, no one spoke, and they fell into an inexpressible silence.

  "Let's just discuss the main storyline and faction confrontation tasks." Jiang Zhiwei said expressionlessly after a few breaths.

  As a highly valued direct descendant, she didn't have any greedy feelings towards the precious sword. As long as she normally stepped into the half-step outer scene, she should be able to obtain this kind of equal-grade long sword. It wasn't worth taking risks for this, so she didn't want to fail to complete the mainline task due to her teammate's greed and then have her merits erased.

  Zhang Yuanshan smiled lightly and said: "Wealth, silk, and precious objects move people's hearts, this is normal. As long as one can measure their own strength and not go against their nature, then it doesn't matter."

  "He continued: 'After this, the other side will know our approximate strength and martial arts characteristics, and they will definitely change their way of fighting. For example, they may first sweep away those who are weaker, or create opportunities to concentrate all their strength to kill one person, we can't help but defend.'"

  "For us, the four major sects have an advantage in strength. As long as we stick together and don't separate rashly, and make steady progress, after breaking through Sacred Flame Mountain, the enemy will no longer have any hidden advantages or room for ambushes and sneak attacks." Luo Shengyi said slowly, this was a strategy to defeat the enemy with a fair and square attitude. At that time, even if the Demon Sect's camp had more high-end powers, our side would still have the advantage of numbers, plus the help of the four major sects' masters, the chances of winning were extremely high.

  This time it was due to Xia Zhonglin's death that he himself wanted to turn from being passive to taking the initiative, and in his eagerness for merit, he fell into the enemy's trap.

  Meng Qi recalled his "team battle experience" and furrowed his brow in thought, saying: "What if the enemy's concentrated attack isn't targeting one of us?"

  "What did you mean by that?" Luo Shengyi looked at the monk who seemed unreliable but was actually not to be underestimated.

  "The little monk means that if the other side concentrates their forces to kill the four major sects' masters of the treasure sword, and snatch one of the treasure swords, then the four major sects' plan to advance steadily will be ruined. They must split up to retrieve the treasure sword and quickly occupy Sacred Fire Mountain, which is not very beneficial for us, and perhaps we won't even be able to complete the main task." Jiang Zhi heard the implicit meaning behind the words.

  "Yeah, we were too focused on the camp confrontation task before, and paid too much attention to each other's moves, but forgot that the opponent may not necessarily target us directly, and a sideways approach can also be effective."

  Luo Shengyi furrowed his brow and said, "Although the four major sects have split into four routes and are advancing together, the distance between them is not far, and there is plenty of time for rescue..."

  He said and said, but couldn't say any more, because he thought of that "nourishing evil spirit" enemy, who was even better at borrowing the momentum of heaven and earth than the master of Fengyun Manor. It wasn't difficult for him to create a large-scale chaos, temporarily isolating the rescue efforts between several routes! This time, they themselves almost suffered a complete defeat because of this, and couldn't help but learn from the lesson.

  "They must be reminded." Qi spoke few words, but on this matter, he had to speak out and emphasize.

  Meng Qi nodded: "Let's inform Gu Zhuangzhu about this ambush first, and let him remind the other three major sects. It would be best if we could join forces to move forward together."

  "It's not suitable to delay, let's return now." Zhang Yuanshan took a deep breath.

  Meng Qi smiled and pointed at the broken temple: "There are still two friends here, if they inform him, Master Gu will definitely take it more seriously."

  He was referring to Chen Xiao and Luo You who were hiding.

  Chen Xiao and Luo You were called out with a bewildered expression, the sandstorm stopped suddenly, and why did all the "Power Helpers" come?

  Meng Qi briefly recounted the events, and finally said: "Please inform Master Gu that the enemy has received strong reinforcements, which are strange and frightening, so we must be on guard."

  "How is it possible, how is it possible..." Chen Xiao was shocked by Meng Qi's description and couldn't hold himself back. How could a disaster-like sandstorm be caused by human power? Even if it was done with the help of the original sandstorm! This was already a divine skill!

  And yet, it's even more unbelievable that these few people from "Quan Li Bang" can defeat the "Xian Ren"!

  "The old master should be able to see the abnormality of the sandstorm just now." Meng Qi didn't say much, and didn't explain anything to the two disciples. He only asked them to tell Gu Kong Shan everything they saw and heard.

  Chen Xiao and Luo You looked at each other with a "you guys don't know much, don't try to fool me" expression, and followed Meng Qi and the others back to Fengyun Manor in a daze.

  Xia Dandan's body, Luo Shengyi carried it back, not only to bury it in a better place, but also to let Gu Kongshan witness the terror of Wu Shengzhi again and increase his persuasive power.

  On the road, Meng Qi secretly took out a black iron dart to show Zhu Zhenzhen and Jiang Zhimiao, asking what kind of hidden weapon this was.

  "This is the 'See and Die Dart', it looks like an ordinary dart, but with a special throwing technique, it will split into seven poisonous needles halfway through, covering all directions of the enemy's dodge. See and die, I've seen people use it before." Luo Shengyi looked carefully for a while.

  Although the teaching of hidden weapons was part of the orthodox tradition, to prevent disciples from being hit by strange hidden weapons after they left the mountain, Jiang Zhiwei, Zhang Yuanshan and others' knowledge of hidden weapons cannot be said to be rich. However, this "See and Die Halberd" is not a thing of the main world, they do not recognize it, and Su Zhentian mainly studied medicine and toxicology, with only a few pieces of self-use understanding of hidden weapons. In the end, thanks to Luo Shengyi's rich experience in the Wheel of Rebirth world.

  "What a great thing!" Meng Qi was overjoyed, this "Life-Ending Dart" may not be as good as the "Violent Rain Plum Blossom Needle", but it's also a top-notch hidden weapon, who knows when it might come in handy in the future.

  …………

  Having received Chen Xiao and Luo You's report, Gu Kongshan immediately summoned Meng Qi and the others.

  He still had black hair and a straight back, without revealing his self-might, and asked in a low voice: "Does that stranger really have vertical eyes growing on his eyebrows?"

  This is indeed the characteristic of the legendary god!

  He had thought it was a bit strange that the sandstorm came so fiercely, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, such a vast disaster couldn't be created by human power, and he certainly couldn't do it himself, unless the Wind Cloud Knife was completely unsealed and fully activated, which was equivalent to impossible. Since ancient times, no master had been able to completely unseal the Wind Cloud Knife, relying solely on the words of the immortal to infer its power.

  Now that he heard Chen Xiao and Luo You's description, his previous suspicion of the sandstorm resurfaced, and he was half-believing and half-doubting Meng Qi and others' experience.

  "Yes, there is a vertical eye with a faint green glow between my eyebrows, just like a demon." Meng Qi replied calmly, while Jiang Zhi told in detail the process of her fight against Su Yuan Ying.

  Gu Kong Shan raised an eyebrow, narrowing his eyes as he gazed at Jiang Zhiwei. The characteristics of the Demon Sect's leader were just as she had described, but Gu Kong Shan was well aware of the leader's true strength and would not underestimate him. Yet, she had managed to single-handedly defeat two opponents, injuring the leader and killing the foreigner's substitute - a feat that left one's heart in awe!

  He pondered for a moment and said, "I also thought the sandstorm was unusual before, now I've solved the doubts in my mind. Although I still don't quite believe it, I don't believe someone can master such divine skills. After all, you're just making an educated guess. But for things like this, it's better to believe they exist rather than not. Hmm, I'll send out three letters and have the other three fellow daoists come and gather here."

  Meng Qi and others couldn't explain to him what "nourishing evil spirits" meant, so he still had some doubts about whether the eccentric with vertical pupils in his brow could increase his power and range by borrowing the momentum of the sandstorm.

  But as a landlord, his rationality made him cautious.

  "Amitabha Buddha, the owner of this villa has a clear vision for thousands of miles, it's actually the blessing of the other three factions." Meng Qi couldn't help but praise after seeing that Gu Kong Shan didn't have any "brain damage".

  After doing this big thing, Gu Kongshan attached more importance to Meng Qi and others, indicating that they would stay in the tent with him and wait for the reply from the other three factions.

  Three strange birds flew away, Gu Kongshan and Meng Qi and others chatted about the way of martial arts, wanting to infer their origins from it, but Meng Qi and others were also watertight, occasionally mentioning things about the main world, Gu Kongshan was also confused, without any direction to think.

  Due to the proximity, in less than a minute, three strange birds returned one after another. Gu Kong Shan took down the letter and looked at it, suddenly hiding his anger and shouting: "Foolish! At this time, you still guard against me!"

  "The former owner of the manor, but they are unwilling to come over?" Luo Shengyi asked calmly.

  Gu Kongshan tossed the letter aside and said coldly, "Right, this group of short-sighted fools not only don't believe that there's a master who can drive such a terrifying sandstorm, but also suspect that I want to take advantage of this opportunity to surpass them. Hmph, whether or not the master is real, Mo Jiao has strong reinforcements and can't be fake!"

  As the number one master of Zheng Dao, he was already used to being guarded against by people from the other three major sects, but at a time like this, still having such insight, that's just too stupid!

  The various factions of Zheng Dao are also at odds with each other...... Meng Qi curled his lips and said, "Gu Zong, I'm afraid you'll have to go persuade them yourself."

  Gu Kong Shan fell silent, clasped his hands behind his back, and began pacing back and forth, deep in thought.

  After a while, he made up his mind and called the elder and disciples to guard strictly. Then he took the Wind Cloud Knife case and stepped out of the tent, letting Meng Qi and others follow him to the Wan Jian Sect's residence - if he wasn't there, it would be easy for them to cause trouble in the camp without their identities being confirmed, and they were also eyewitnesses.

  Meng Qi and others thought it was fine, but not long after they left the campsite, they saw the sky quickly darken, with yellow sand swirling in the distance, rolling up to the sky, "submerging" the Zhai Xing Lou campsite and surrounding areas.

  "Terrible!" Gu Kongshan's eyes narrowed.

  The Demon Sect Master Hu can create small sandstorms, and the alien with a vertical eye in his brow can borrow momentum to expand!

  The idea flashed through his mind.
