Taiping Inn

The "Ghost Kingdom on Earth" cave was built by Zaoge Sect at its peak. Even if it was conquered by the twenty-one sects, the remaining part of it should not be underestimated. It has the mystery of reversing yin and yang and the mystery of usurping the creation of heaven and earth. Therefore, after the old man Zang merged with the cave, he could exert the power of the longevity realm in the cave. Moreover, the cave was immortal and his body was immortal. Zhang Jingxiu and Li Daoxu, two great masters of longevity, could not kill him. They could only suppress him in the Demon Suppression Well and forcibly separate the old man Zang and the ghost kingdom cave with another cave.

Although the old man Zang's move was powerful, there were endless troubles. As Zhang Jingxiu said, the old man Zang would inevitably merge with the ghost kingdom cave, and eventually be completely assimilated by the cave, and his life would be worse than death.

The Demon Suppression Well of Zhengyi Sect is called a well, but it is actually a cave. It was opened up by Zu Tianshi with great magic power before ascending. It is divided into nine layers, corresponding to nine realms. According to the different realms of cultivation, the prisoners were thrown into different caves. Not only was the vitality of heaven and earth extremely thin, it was impossible to cultivate. There was also a mysterious formation left by the ancestor Tianshi. Any slight movement would attract the "thunder curse" set by the ancestor Tianshi. The greater the movement, the heavier the punishment, so there was no possibility of fighting between the evil demons imprisoned. In later generations, the Tianshi of Zhengyi Sect re-leveled the ground around the Demon Suppression Well and built a high platform, which was called the Demon Suppression Platform.

The power of the Demon Suppression Platform and the Punishment Pillar both came from the Demon Suppression Well Cave Heaven. The reason why Zhang Jingchen couldn't beat the Earth Master at the beginning was because he borrowed the power of the Demon Suppression Platform and the Punishment Pillar, instead of combining with the Demon Suppression Well Cave Heaven. Regardless of whether Zhang Jingchen was willing or not, even if he was willing to pay a huge price to merge with the Demon Well Cave Heaven, he could not do it at that critical moment, because refining the void and merging with the Tao is not a matter of one day or one night. The attack of the Earth Master was beyond everyone's expectation. In the extremely hasty time, Zhang Jingchen had no time to merge with the Tao. It was different for the old man Zang. From the time when the righteous people decided to take revenge to the time when they attacked Beimang Mountain, he had enough time to slowly merge with the Tao.

Comparing the two cave heavens, they were also very different. The Demon Well Cave Heaven was a prison, which had been closed for many years. Only the contemporary great heavenly master could open it. If they really wanted to merge with the Tao, it was Zhang Jingxiu who came to merge with the Tao, not Zhang Jingchen. Moreover, the act of merging with the Tao had too many flaws. Although he had the power of the longevity realm after merging with the Tao, he could not leave the cave heaven at all. There was also the hidden danger of being assimilated by the cave heaven, which was even worse than the invasion of the inner demon. Compared with the real longevity realm masters who could come and go freely, the difference was immeasurable.

It is said that in the Xuandu Purple Mansion left by the Supreme Daoist Ancestor, there is a person who has achieved the Dao. He was originally a person who broke into the Xuandu Purple Mansion without permission. Because he violated the rules left by the Nanhua Daoist Lord, he was forced to achieve the Dao here. Although he could live forever, he also became a part of the Xuandu Purple Mansion. At first, he could still retain some of the characteristics of a human being, but as time passed, he would gradually be assimilated by the Xuandu Purple Mansion, and eventually his past memories would be completely wiped out, and no true spirit would remain. What kingship, what country, what love, and even his own name, all became false. At this time, the person who achieved the Dao has become a puppet of the Xuandu Purple Mansion. He will only follow the rules left by the Nanhua Daoist Lord to protect the Xuandu Purple Mansion. Even if the person who broke into the Xuandu Purple Mansion is his loved one, he will not show any mercy.

What is the meaning of such longevity, immortality, and invincibility, even if he can be invincible in the world?

Of course, the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven is not as good as the Xuandu Purple Mansion Cave Heaven, and it is no longer complete. The assimilation process of Old Man Zang must be extremely slow, and there is even the possibility of reversal. This is also the reason why Old Man Zang dares to merge with the Tao.

However, it is useless to say all this now. As Old Man Zang was suppressed into the Demon-Suppressing Well, the world here began to change. The boundless void was like a broken mirror, and the scene of the Grand Saint Temple reappeared. However, at this time, Old Man Zang was no longer there, and only an empty dragon throne was left.

Zhang Jingxiu took back the "Heavenly Master Seal" and the purple and blue swords, and performed a simplified kowtow to Li Daoxu: "This time, I was fortunate to have Brother Li's help to subdue this evil beast."

Li Daoxu took back his sword and returned the greeting: "Brother Zhang, your words are sincere. If it weren't for Brother Zhang leading the crowd to break through the four cardinals here and pinning down the old man Zang, I would never have been able to achieve success with one sword."

At this time, Zhang Haishi finally understood why Li Daoxu was not worried that Zhang Jingxiu would use this incident to increase his prestige and suppress the Qingwei Sect. Although Zhang Jingxiu did most of the things, Li Daoxu grasped the most critical blow. The two were indispensable, so this time the destruction of the Zaoge Sect of Beimang Mountain was the result of the joint efforts of the two pillars of the righteous way.

Thinking of this, Zhang Haishi couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "The reason why Master can lead Qingwei Sect to be on par with the leader of the righteous sect, Zhengyi Sect, as a rising star is not only due to his realm cultivation. In terms of political tactics, I can never catch up with him."

After the two righteous masters exchanged greetings, everyone came forward to greet the Great Sword Immortal. After all, Li Daoxu has been practicing in Bajing Courtyard for many years. Not to mention ordinary people in the world, even the direct disciples of Qingwei Sect are hard to see. Only the voices of "Great Sword Immortal" and "Old Sword God" were heard one after another. Li Daoxu just nodded slightly. If there were people who had a past relationship, such as Wanshou Zhenren and Qin Yiyi, who were very old, they would also exchange a few words.

After everyone greeted, it was Situ Xuanlue and Zhang Haishi of Qingwei Sect. Naturally, the two could not call "Great Sword Immortal" or "Old Sword God", but "Old Sect Master".

This time, Li Daoxu didn't even bother nodding. After a light "hmm", he turned his gaze to Li Xuandu and Qin Su.

Everyone's eyes also fell on Li Xuandu. After all, everyone present knew that Li Daoxu had expelled Li Xuandu from his sect. However, after Li Daoxu expelled Li Xuandu from his sect, Li Xuandu soared to the sky and his status in the martial arts world was no longer the same. There were even the sayings of Mr. Old Li and Mr. Little Li in the martial arts world. Moreover, the Great Heavenly Master and the Earthly Master both tried to win over Li Xuandu. I wonder if the Great Heavenly Master regretted it? How would the master and apprentice get along?

When Li Xuandu met his master's gaze, he was neither full of vigor nor timid as if he was walking on thin ice. He bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple Li Xuandu greets Master."

Qin Su, who stood shoulder to shoulder with him, also bowed and said, "Qin Su greets the old sword god."

Li Daoxu smiled faintly, "Xuandu, you are no longer a disciple of Qingwei Sect, so there is no need to be like this."

Li Xuandu said, "Although I am not a disciple of Qingwei Sect, once a teacher, a father for life, and this cannot be changed."

Li Daoxu did not comment, but turned to look at Qin Su, and for the first time, he was more amiable, "Miss Qin, there is no need to be so polite."

Wanshou Zhenren, Qin Yiyi and other people who knew Li Daoxu were surprised to see this scene. Li Daoxu was cold and introverted, and his mansion was deep. He usually did not show his emotions. Even when facing a group of direct disciples, he rarely showed his kind and amiable side. His attitude towards Qin Su was indeed a bit unusual.

Not to mention others, even Qin Su was somewhat flattered. Fortunately, this was not the first time she had met Li Daoxu, so she said, "Yes."

Li Daoxu looked at Li Xuandu again and continued what he had just said: "You and I had already said everything in the Bajing Courtyard that day. Miss Qin was a witness, so there is nothing much to say today. Now that you have been entrusted by Mr. Shen to become the leader of the Taiping Sect, you must govern your position and carry forward the Taiping Sect. As for the right and wrong between you and me, future generations will judge."

Li Xuandu sighed lightly, did not speak, but nodded.

The people who listened were more and more curious about what Li Xuandu and Li Daoxu had said that day that caused the master and apprentice to break up, and they still had nothing to say today. However, judging from Li Daoxu's tone, the two of them were not just incompatible in terms of ideas, but probably went in opposite directions.

People like Bai Xiushang, who are meticulous, think more. The content of the conversation between the master and the disciple that day must be very important, related to the entire Qingwei Sect, and even the situation in the martial arts world. As the saying goes, if the king is not discreet, he will lose his ministers, and if the ministers are not discreet, they will lose their bodies. In this case, it is very abnormal that Qin Su can actually witness it from the side. From another perspective, neither of them regards Qin Su as an outsider. Therefore, Qingwei Sect has no objection to Qin and Li's marriage. Judging from Qin Yiyi's attitude, even if the Qin family has some concerns, they will not be too opposed in general.
