Chapter 59 Fears

Overwhelmed by Ji Xiang's demonic might, the cultivators, even as they listened to Jiang Quzi and Bai Wuzi loudly twisting black into white, had lost the courage to act. They allowed the two men to exhaust their rhetoric, spouting endless nonsense, yet dared not cross the line.

Seeing this, the two men gradually despaired.

Ji Xiang chuckled coldly, "They bullied Wudang Mountain because Wudang Mountain wouldn't kill."

"They don't dare to bully me, because I really will kill."

"And those I kill are killed for the sake of Heaven, all deserving of death."

He patted one of their heads, as if patting a pig or dog. Bai Wuzi was filled with shame and indignation, looking at the Taiging Palace's representative with a sorrowful gaze, and shouting, "Today, it seems we are destined to die here, our blood staining this immortal mountain! Alas! Please report back to the Palace Lord, Senior Brother, that this man is a great demon of the world, and we must gather our fellow Daoists to denounce him!"

His eyes revealed grief and hatred, and he was preparing for one last stand.

Truly, damn it all, how did things come to this!

He really didn't want to be tortured any longer!

Since you all don't dare to step forward, and I would probably be tortured to death with no chance of escape, then I might as well end it now, leaving behind a reputation of innocence. And with this act of bloodshed, the Daoist sects of the world will all regard Ji Xiang as someone who must be killed!

Perhaps, with luck, it could even stir up the cultivation world's resentment towards the imperial court, leading to a change of dynasty... It doesn't matter who takes over!

You, Ji Xiang, may dare to kill, but you are ultimately just a remnant immortal. Would the imperial court's true immortals, that Zhang Tianshi, really watch you slaughter fellow Daoists indiscriminately?

The will of the people is what truly matters!

Bai Wuzi decided to use his death to drag Ji Xiang down with him, but when he stirred the qi within his body, he found it difficult to self-destruct.

Self-destruction and self-detonation are not the same. Self-detonation requires intact magic power, a desperate final attack. But they had all been placed under a spell, sealing their magic power, only given a mouthful of primordial qi to sustain their lives. So-called self-destruction is to let that mouthful of primordial qi dissipate, thus ending their lives, and their souls would immediately scatter, a dignified way to die at the very end.

But now, although that qi was vibrating frequently, it refused to self-destruct!

"You want to scatter your qi and self-destruct? Too bad, you can't. Although the spell can't seal primordial qi, I can."

Ji Xiang said casually, and Bai Wuzi was shocked, "I've never heard of such a technique!"

"Well, it exists now. I made it up."

He had sacrificed the White Lotus Sect's scriptures, and upon returning to Yingtian, to deal with this kind of situation, he had created a spell on the spot.

The true meaning of the Three Teachings is unreasonable. If you say there's no such technique, then I'll make one for you right now, and now there is.

As for the karmic consequences that might bring, the karmic consequences of this little technique are not some great disaster, and besides, he had already arrived at Wudang Mountain, and his Three Corpse Gods and the little fox were on the mountain.

Ji Xiang could even sense the aura of his Three Corpse Gods, which was much weaker than when they had been separated. It seemed they had dealt with many monsters on the way back.

And when Jiang Quzi saw that Bai Wuzi couldn't self-destruct, he was immediately filled with despair!

Unable to die, unable to escape, and if he was taken back to Fu Li, he would probably be struck by lightning again!

They were different from those Yuanshen accomplices. They had been working for Prince Lu for a long time, and the evil deeds they had done, even if they hadn't directly committed them, were still indirect acts. For example, they would go to some families, falsely claiming that their children had immortal roots and bones, and would take them away to cultivate. This departure would last for a hundred years, and those parents would be grateful, unaware that these children had all become the boy-blood pills refined by Prince Lu.

This, too, could be considered an evil deed. Heaven and earth didn't send down lightning tribulation, perhaps because they hadn't directly killed anyone, but in the Great Fu Li Earth, when the Lightning City descended, both the principal and accessory crimes would be clearly recorded!

Therefore, the lightning tribulations of these few people were much stronger than those of the Yuanshen cultivators! If they went through two more rounds, they would probably lose their lives, and only end up with their souls scattered!

This kind of suffocating death was really unacceptable!

"Afraid?"

The look of fear in Jiang Quzi's eyes was caught by Ji Xiang, who took the opportunity to mock:

"The evil deeds you have done in the past, the earthly lightning tribulations won't strike you down, because you have also done good deeds before. Some people do many evil deeds in this life and don't get punished, because their ancestors or previous lives accumulated too much merit. These merits are added to their heads, and each evil deed will offset a portion of it."

"And when you cultivate to the Refinement of Spirit realm, you will no longer have any tribulations. Between heaven and earth, other than the one thousand three hundred good deeds that must be done in order to ascend to immortality, there are no hard and fast rules or requirements."

"So, you can indulge yourselves at will, without entering the realm of Pure Yang, or entering the realm of Pure Yang and not ascending to immortality, enjoying yourselves by killing the homeless, taking pleasure in abducting children, and finding joy in deceiving the lowly and disabled. You can do all these things as you please."

"Because even if these people die, no one will pursue the matter. There are billions of people in the world, enough for you to kill and control."

Jiang Quzi's face changed drastically!

Ji Xiang laughed and patted his head, the movements light and swift, each pat like using a knife to shave off the top of his head:

"What's there to be afraid of? Since you've done these things secretly, then it's something that no one knows about, something that only Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, and I know."

"Heaven and earth have no sense organs, they can't see anything, and even if they know, they won't speak; the words 'you' and 'I' are just pronouns, referring to anyone while not referring to anyone in particular."

"For example, you and I."

"A man and a demon."

Ji Xiang's smile made the fear in Jiang Quzi's heart penetrate to his very bones. Under some ghostly impulse, he suddenly asked in a low and fearful voice, "Heavenly Demon, if you really know what I've done, how do you know?"

Ji Xiang maintained that same terrifyingly fake smile.

"I don't know, I was just saying whatever came to mind."

Jiang Quzi's hair stood on end, and suddenly, his charred, charcoal-like body began to tremble!

But Bai Wuzi was completely unaware of this, still preaching to those cultivators about how hateful and deserving of death Ji Xiang was, unable even to let them kill themselves.

But he didn't notice that Ji Xiang's fingers had activated a small spell.

At this time, the faces of the cultivators had turned extremely pale, and among them, those accomplices of Prince Lu were even more terrified. What they were terrified of was that Ji Xiang had just said a few words, and Jiang Quzi had confessed without being beaten.

"You... you really did these things?"

"You did them too?"

The Taiging Palace's representative interrupted Bai Wuzi's long speech, questioning him almost with a roar, his eyes fixed on Jiang Quzi.

Bai Wuzi didn't understand what had happened, and then he saw Ji Xiang make a hand seal.

"It's nothing, just a small spell."

Ji Xiang's smile was very fake.

And Jiang Quzi's appearance seemed to have a cowardly and terrified demon's form appearing outside his spirit and body.

When the mind thinks, how can this demon not appear?
