Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 500 Those who follow the will of heaven will grieve, and those who go against it will die!

"Finally home……"

Returning to the Yunnan-Sichuan province, Qi Xiu and Taoist Yun Xiong couldn't help but sigh the moment they stepped into the provincial border.

Although they were not as nervous and heavy-hearted as other Taoist True Lords during this trip to the Great Wilderness of Nanming.

But he almost got killed several times.

Especially Qi Xiu, no matter it was the ancient magic giant Wei Gong with an extremely powerful physical body, or Zhao Qianqiu, the prince who was defeated and then rebuilt, both of them had the power to almost kill him.

Not to mention the sword-holding woman and Xuanjun's incarnation, two powerful beings whose origins are extremely mysterious.

Now that I'm back in my own territory, I feel a sense of peace and my mood has improved a lot.

"Such a strong military aura..."

As soon as they set foot in Yunnan and Sichuan, Qi Xiu and Taoist Yun Xiong both felt a surging military aura.

"Strange, the military tradition has disappeared for a long time, and only the royal family has mastered a part of it. How can the Yunnan and Sichuan provinces have such a strong military atmosphere?"

Just when Master Qi Xiu and his disciple were feeling surprised, they saw a dark red sea of clouds suddenly rising in the distance. The military murderous aura rising into the sky evolved into various strange images such as flags, swords, fierce horses, and chariots, and it came close to them in an instant.

"The Yunnan and Sichuan provinces have been placed under martial law. Who dares to trespass?"

With a loud shout, a burly warrior with a leopard head and round eyes, holding a long sword at his waist, stepped on the blood cloud and walked out.

Eyes as sharp as knives swept towards Qi Xiu and the other man, full of scrutiny.

"Can't I just go back to my own home?"

Qi Xiu took a step forward slowly with a calm expression, but as his voice rang out, a huge and majestic figure over ten thousand feet tall suddenly appeared in the void behind him. A vast pressure pressed down, and the heaven and earth became dim and shaking.

"The power of the Dao body!?"

Seeing the shadow of the Taoist god behind Qi Xiu and the overwhelming pressure, the generals showed fear on their faces and quickly retreated, clasping their fists and bowing:

"Please forgive me, my lord. I am here to guard this place under the orders of the governor.

Yunnan and Sichuan provinces were under martial law years ago, and no one was allowed to enter or leave."

"What the hell is Gao Tianxiong doing?"

Upon hearing that it was Gao Tianxiong who ordered martial law in the entire Yunnan and Sichuan provinces and no one was allowed to enter or leave, Taoist Yunxiong frowned slightly.

Ever since Gao Tianxiong faked his death and turned all the sects and families into his spearmen, his reputation has plummeted to the bottom.

If it weren't for the fact that he was the True Master of the Yuanshen, the entire vassal government office would have been smashed directly by the major sects and worlds.

After taking a quick glance at the group of military practitioners in front of them, Qi Xiu and Taoist Yun Xiong said nothing more. Instead, they transformed into two domineering bolts of lightning, and suddenly streaked across the sky and flew towards the direction of the Shenxiao Sect.

"General, is that the great power of the Dao Body?"

Watching Qi Xiu and the other man leave, the lieutenant general at the side asked the general cautiously.

“Nonsense, didn’t you see the Taoist God behind that True Lord?

Moreover, these two True Lords are from the Shenxiao Sect.

Master Lei Fa...

Tsk, luckily these two seem to be in a good mood today, otherwise we would have been turned into ashes by the thunderbolt."

Looking at the lightning that was still lingering in the void, the general shrank his head in disappointment.

When the primordial spirit does not come out, the Taoist body is supreme.

Daoshen Zhenjun is already a top existence in the world of cultivation, and it would be very dangerous if you accidentally anger him.

If you get ripped off, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

"Let's go back first and pretend that what happened just now never happened."

To stop Dao Shen Zhen Jun would be to seek death, but not to stop him would be to do one's job poorly and neglect one's duty, so faced with this dilemma, the general had no choice but to forget what had just happened.

Just pretend that you have never met these two True Lords.

……

"Hurry up, the river is about to flood over us."

They rushed back to the Shenxiao Sect at lightning speed, and their enthusiastic and inspiring shouts reached above the clouds and into the ears of Qi Xiu and Taoist Yun Xiong.

He waved his sleeves to push away the clouds and mist on the mountains below his feet.

The surging river water, like a yellow dragon, broke through the dike and raged towards a large town downstream.

The flood rushed down with unparalleled force, crushing everything in its path. If this continued, the towns and villages downstream would inevitably be lost.

At this time, on the path that the flood must pass through, more than a dozen monks in light gray Taoist robes were trying their best to activate their cultivation, shooting out lightning bolts as thick as thumbs, shattering the surrounding cliffs, trying to use the rolling rubble to build a flood control dam.

"Such a small dam cannot stop such a big flood."

Looking down from the sky, although the dam made of rubble is not small, it is afraid that it will not be able to hold out for a moment in the face of the raging flood.

The innate earth method!

With a slight movement of his mind, Qi Xiu stretched out his hand and pointed, and saw a gray divine light suddenly falling from the clouds.

The next moment!

I saw the land within a radius of hundreds of miles suddenly rise high, the terrain became higher, and the flood peak that was sweeping in suddenly stagnated.

Then Qi Xiu pointed again, and most of the river water disappeared. Endless water vapor rose up and turned into heavy rain, pouring down on the vast land for thousands of miles.

An unstoppable flood peak just disappeared into thin air.

"Thank you, senior, for the rescue!"

At this time, the monks who were casting spells to rescue people below also discovered Qi Xiu above the clouds. They bowed and expressed their gratitude repeatedly, shouting loudly.

"All disasters and tribulations in the world are predetermined. You can save them temporarily, but you cannot save them forever." Taoist Yun Xiong spoke softly with his eyes moving slightly.

"Destiny... Yes, everything in the world has a destiny, but I think... man's destiny can overcome heaven, which is what cultivators like us pursue."

His eyes were profound. After the trip to the Great Wilderness of Nanming, Qi Xiu realized a lot, not only in terms of cultivation, but also in his state of mind.

Hearing what Qi Xiu said, Taoist Yun Xiong looked at him with slight surprise, moved his lips twice, and said nothing more.

After a small incident.

The master and disciple successfully returned to the mountain gate of the Shenxiao Sect, and Dongfang Qing showed up at the first opportunity and welcomed the two directly to the sect master's peak.

In an infinitely small green world that blocks out the sky and the sun.

Dongfang Qing flicked his sleeves and took out three glasses of wine. He looked at the two people who had returned safely, with a look of satisfaction on his face:

“Yes, the Dao League has informed me of some details about the Southern Ocean Wilderness some time ago.

Our Great Master Qi made the greatest contribution this time.

The young master of the Hu family who is in charge of this mission praised you highly and believed that you have made a great contribution.

The Dao Alliance is already drafting a reward for you, and it will probably be delivered to you soon.

This time you have brought honor to our Shenxiao Sect.

Although our sect does not drink alcohol on a daily basis.

But today, for both of you, I will make a small exception.

This is a fairy wine that has been stored in the cellar for nearly ten thousand years, come and have a taste. "

Looking at the wine cup in front of him, Qi Xiu leaned forward to take a look, and saw that the cup seemed to contain a galaxy of stars, with bright spots of light flickering in it.

Then a whiff of extremely mellow wine aroma entered his nose.

Just by smelling it, I felt a little dizzy and tipsy.

While Qi Xiu was still hesitating whether to pick up the wine cup, Taoist Yun Xiong beside him had already tilted his head back and swallowed the immortal wine.

"Oh...what a good wine!"

<divclass="contentadv">After drinking a cup of immortal wine, Taoist Yun Xiong's face turned red visibly. After he opened his mouth and exhaled a cloud of alcohol, his eyes became blurry and he supported his chin and began to snore.

"Master..."

Unexpectedly, a cup of fairy wine could make the master faint. Qi Xiu's hand holding the wine cup was stunned for a moment.

"This old glutton, I dare not drink the thousand-year-old immortal wine in one gulp, but he is just trying to have a good time."

After laughing twice, Dongfang Qing raised his hand and waved it. A few lotus leaves suddenly rolled Taoist Yun Xiong over, put him in a comfortable position, and let him sleep peacefully.

"It's good that Yunxiong is asleep. Some things are more appropriate for us to talk alone."

Hearing Dongfang Qing say this, Qi Xiu put down the wine cup in his hand.

"Do you know how many years you have been gone?" Dongfang Qing spoke slowly, taking a sip of the fairy wine in the cup.

"About eight or nine years."

Taking into account the time spent on the round trip and in the Great Wilderness of Nanming, Qi Xiu gave an estimated answer.

"Eight or nine years? Ha ha ha, you've been gone for thirty-seven years." With a chuckle, Dongfang Qing's words surprised Qi Xiu.

"Impossible. Although there will be some differences in the approximate time, the difference will not be so big." Qixu frowned.

"In your perception, you have only been gone for a little over eight years.

But someone used his great magical powers to move the time veins of the entire Southern Ocean, causing the flow of time there to differ from that in the Middle-earth Realm.

So you only feel that eight or nine years have passed, but thirty-seven years have passed in Middle-earth."

Dongfang Qing's explanation made Qi Xiu's frown even more serious:

"But what's the reason for doing this? And to be able to use such a method, one must be at least a True Spirit."

“It’s not a true Yuanshen, but it’s pretty close.

I cannot tell you who it is now. You will know after you achieve your primordial spirit.

All I can tell you is that this person resorted to such monstrous means just to trap you in the Great Southern Wilderness for a period of time.

Let the Guixu Sea between the two continents create the Cosmic Light Abyss and bury you in it.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

The battle in the Southern Ocean ended too quickly. Before the Cosmic Light Abyss was formed, you had already returned, and that person's plan failed."

Dongfang Qing said it lightly, but the danger between the lines almost oozes blood.

If Qi Xiu and other Taoist masters really stayed in the Great Wilderness of Nanming for too long, they would have been delayed until the formation of the Cosmic Light Abyss.

Then no matter whether they win or lose in the Great Wilderness of the South Sea, they will be completely wiped out on their way back.

After hearing this, Qi Xiu was silent for a while, and suddenly said something for no apparent reason:

"It was the group of people in Shangjing who pushed for it."

Just as his right hand was about to raise the glass, it suddenly stopped. Dongfang Qing looked at Qi Xiu with complicated eyes, his eyes slightly narrowed and a strange expression.

"you……"

“When we came back, we were attacked by the incarnation of Xuanjun. I learned from him that the magic sword that broke through the turbid fog in the Southern Ocean was the God-Slaying Platform currently controlled by the Zhao family.

After breaking through the turbid fog, this magic sword also opened the seal of Xuanjun, releasing the only remaining god in the world.

As the royal family of the time, the Zhao family would not let the target go without reason, let alone such a ridiculous statement as "hitting the wrong target".

The only explanation is that they deliberately missed the target and let Xuan Jun out."

The brilliance in his eyes became more and more intense. Dongfang Qing put down his wine cup, tucked his sleeves in, and raised the corners of his mouth:

"Go on."

The clues in his mind were connected bit by bit, and the outline of a conspiracy with a great plot gradually emerged in Qi Xiu's mind:

"Xuan Jun was nailed to death by Li Zexian in the eye of the sea for more than ten thousand years.

Now Li Zexian has already disappeared.

Then what he hates most is us humans.

The blow to the human race caused by the destruction of hundreds of Taoist True Lords at one time is unimaginably huge.

So after he was released, the first thing he did was to seek revenge on us humans who were in the vast wilderness of the Southern Sea.

But because he had been suppressed for such a long time, he did not have the ability to kill us directly.

So, as you, Sect Master, said, we intended to create a desperate place like the Cosmic Light Abyss.

In this way, no matter whether we win or lose in the Great Wilderness of the South Sea, we will eventually be buried in the abyss of cosmic light.

The Zhao family in Shangjing knew that once Xuanjun escaped, he would definitely abuse us.

But they did it anyway.

Obviously, the bottom line is that they don't want us to come back.

Although the Zhao family is the royal family of the time, they actually still obey the arrangements of the Taoist Alliance.

They risked the wrath of the world to commit such evil deeds just to bring about the destruction of all of us, the powerful Taoists.

In this way, all the sects and families in the entire Daxuan Dynasty will suffer a major blow.

This should be a powerful counterattack against the Taoist Alliance.

It just didn’t work out.”

clap clap-

Dongfang Qing started a round of brisk applause. Looking at the elegant and refined young Taoist in front of him, he nodded repeatedly:

"Yun Xiong has mentioned to me more than once that you seem to be unrestrained and lazy, but in fact you have a delicate mind.

Today it seems that what he said was true.

You're right, that's roughly what happened.

The Zhao family is dissatisfied with the Taoist Alliance's arrangements and pretends to obey them but actually disobeys them!

On the surface, he followed the instructions of the Taoist Alliance and activated the God-Slaying Platform, but secretly colluded with Xuanjun, broke his seal, and released the ancient god.

The Eternal Dynasty...it's a pity they dared to think about it.

Now the Taoist Alliance is furious. The entire Daxuan territory has been in chaos and wars have broken out. Warlords are fighting for their own interests, and all the major military governors are rebelling in the name of serving the king.

The so-called Daxuan Dynasty existed in name only.

This round of dynasty change has begun, but I don’t know who will be able to rule the Central Imperial Court this time.”

"Then let's..."

“The waters are too muddy this time, the Dao League may directly intervene in this dynasty change to ensure that there will not be another Zhao family.

All major sects and ancient schools have closed their doors, waiting for this reshuffle to be over.

It’s just a pity for those ordinary mortals. Once a dispute occurs, countless innocent people will be dragged into it.

A fixed number... a fixed number..."

Spreading his hands, Dongfang Qing's eyes showed a trace of compassion and helplessness.

Although he did not like the Taoist Alliance's almost cruel way of control, the Taoist Alliance was powerful, and even if he was a true master of the Yuanshen, he could not stop this practice that had been implemented for more than ten thousand years.

Those who follow the will of heaven will mourn, and those who go against it will perish.

Another constant...

Hearing the Supreme Master's helpless sigh, Qi Xiu slowly clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, and an inexplicable feeling slowly grew from the depths of his heart.
