Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 158 Jinglun Heavenly Palace
Six giant black-skinned Xuan foxes, each as tall as a two-story building, with the leader being as large as a three-story earthen building!
The fox demons spread their tails behind them, and foxfire instantly burned the Wenxiang Cult members charging in front to cinders. Opening their mouths, the foxes extracted and devoured the three souls and seven spirits from the bodies of those killed!
The leading giant Xuan fox uttered a ferocious sound:
"When all things die, the seven spirits scatter first, and the three souls separate. But if you absorb the complete souls of the newly deceased, these ownerless spirits can strengthen the body and form, and these ownerless souls can strengthen your own life soul and cultivation."
"And among all things, the best three souls and seven spirits belong to the human race!"
The black fox demons began their massacre, while also engaging in verbal intimidation:
"Wenxiang Cult members, see clearly who you are now worshiping! He is not the Nine Lotus Xuan Fox Ancestor, he is just a fox spirit from a heretical cult! You have been deceived by him, can't you see who you are facing!"
As it spoke, it opened its mouth wide again, swallowing many souls!
But this time, the leading giant Xuan fox narrowed its eyes, its mouth seemingly twitching slightly.
Although absorbing the souls of the human race could indeed greatly improve its cultivation, eating too much at once would gradually affect its own condition.
To put it bluntly, it was overeating. Too many souls were stuck in its body, unable to be digested. Because it was eating the "spirits" as well, and spirits govern the behavior of the physical body, when too many "spirits" were consumed, the human race's seven spirits would affect its own activity.
Normal soul absorption required accompanying soul refinement spells, or the ghost itself had to be mischievous enough to cause the soul to leave the body. Although foxes are yang creatures, their spiritual nature lies between yin and yang. Thus, they are often born with a talent for communicating with the netherworld, and are therefore close to souls. Enlightened foxes can even hook souls and seize spirits, which is the reason.
Moreover, eating souls was a one-time deal, as people die and diminish. Earning incense and vows, on the other hand, was a large and sustainable business.
The giant Xuan fox burped, its foxy stench spreading out. Even the most fearless Wenxiang Cult members, seeing their companions being burned to ashes and their souls taken away, could not help but feel fear, even those who were being controlled.
This was different from killing gambling addicts. Most gambling addicts were ordinary people, and there were fewer of them. More people bullying fewer people was simply a numbers game. But now, the number of people couldn't keep up with the fox demons' speed of killing, so they naturally retreated.
"Ah, we can't win! Quickly bark like dogs, everyone bark like dogs!"
If we get rich, we'll bark at each other!
The little fox gave the order, and the Wenxiang Cult members around them immediately started barking like dogs. The intermittent barking actually had a certain deterrent effect on the fox demons. They had absorbed too many souls earlier, and were now suffering from qi and blood imbalances due to the barking. Their giant paws also began to miss their targets.
Feng Menglong quickly asked, "You said fox demons have three fears and five aversions. Is there anything we can use against them now?"
The little fox replied, "The four fears are dogs, magpies, jars, and rhinoceros horns; the five aversions are violent people, practitioners of magic, gods, blessed people, and virtuous people... That's right! You are a virtuous person. Fox demons are afraid of righteousness, so your righteousness might be useful. Why don't you give it a try?"
"If my grandmaster's evil jar was in my hands, it might scare them away."
Feng Menglong suddenly wanted to argue, "Aren't they afraid of firearms?"
The little fox immediately retorted, annoyed, "Don't even mention demons, aren't you afraid of firearms! Is there any need to say that!"
Feng Menglong immediately stopped arguing. At this moment, anger rose in his heart, and his eyes shone with determination. He immediately threw out a talisman, while shouting out a sentence that sounded like a chapter title from a traditional novel:
"Incense confusion causes the cult to turn against itself, righteousness appears and the fox demons are punished!"
"Eat my Golden Light Charm!"
Feng Menglong once again gathered his righteousness, using the talisman given by Ji Xiang and imbuing it with the power of vows, unleashing great power! Suddenly, the world was filled with golden light, and righteousness filled the air. The black fox demons screamed in alarm as the dense demonic aura on their bodies was dispelled!
"Righteous Qi!"
"Damn it, how can this poor scholar have righteousness when he hasn't even passed the imperial examinations!"
Feng Menglong was even more furious when he heard this!
Don't hit a man in the face! Even a scholar has a higher social status than you. You little demons, stop looking down on people!
Feng Menglong threw out another pile of talismans, including Five Thunder Charms. Suddenly, thunder and lightning flashed, and the fox demons could not resist, retreating one after another. Some fox demons complained from behind, saying that it was simply too outrageous!
"This isn't normal! We are all demons comparable to the Divine Fire Realm, how can we be driven back by a few of his Golden Light Charms and Five Thunder Charms?"
"Of course it's not normal. You can't find one person with Righteous Qi in thousands of scholars, how can this be normal!"
The black fox demons felt that things were getting tricky. With their cultivation, they could not ignore the other party's righteousness. The demonic aura protecting their bodies was dispelled by the righteousness, and the talismans directly broke through their protective defenses, causing their flesh to bleed and their fur to emit green smoke and flames.
At this moment, a strong gust of foxy wind suddenly rose between heaven and earth.
The rich scent of a female fox wafted from afar. This gust of wind dispelled Feng Menglong's righteousness, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to kneel on the ground.
The little fox was thrown off Feng Menglong's head, crying out in pain. It didn't dare to argue with him anymore, and quickly got up, because the foxy wind was too pungent. Even with rotten grass stuffed in its nose, the little fox could still smell it.
Fortunately, holding the Charm Bead and the Copper Wire Fire Cage prevented it from being affected by the foxy stench and the Wenxiang Cult's incense. It was not controlled this time.
A fragrant wind wafted through the air, and a beautiful woman in a purple dress appeared from the darkness.
Her eyes were like rippling autumn water, her voice soft as a gentle breeze, her full breasts gently rising and falling. Her silhouette was ethereal, as if shrouded in a layer of autumn mountain mist, and a faint halo of red light emanated from her, both divine and beautiful.
The Nine Lotus Xuan Fox Ancestor had finally arrived, but at this moment she was not concerned about the loss of the Charm Bead. Instead, she stared at Feng Menglong, exclaiming in surprise, "Righteous Qi! This small county town actually has a scholar with Righteous Qi."
"I want your righteousness, and I want you too!"
Having said that, a seductive look appeared in her eyes, stirring people's hearts. At this moment, a golden light suddenly flickered in the distance, and Feng Menglong heard a voice in his ear:
"Gentleman! Don't be deceived by her! The ravine of desire is only temporary, the light of the true dharma is eternal! Quickly grab the Beidi Tianpeng Ruler and chant the incantation..."
The voice came from afar, and Feng Menglong quickly took the Beidi Tianpeng Ruler in his hand. At this moment, with the addition of vows and the shaking of righteousness, the golden light from afar actually passed the Nine Lotus Fox Ancestor, and was intercepted by the Beidi Tianpeng Ruler, rushing into Feng Menglong's body first!
In an instant, the golden light surged and the righteousness of heaven and earth gathered once again, the Nine Lotus Xuan Fox Ancestor's expression immediately changed!
At this moment, a form and spirit appeared on Feng Menglong, and a grand voice echoed in his mind:
"Gentleman, lend me your body and magic weapon to subdue demons and eliminate evil!"
Nine golden celestial fox tails suddenly emerged from behind Feng Menglong!
The Beidi Tianpeng Ruler was pointed at the Nine Lotus Xuan Fox Ancestor by "Feng Menglong"!
And at this moment, the dark Taoist inscriptions on the Beidi Tianpeng Ruler, which had already been severely damaged when Ji Xiang obtained it, suddenly glowed!
The power of vows is infinitely wonderful!
The Beidi Tianpeng Ruler, a treasure of the imperial palace, can shatter mountains, split the earth, and drain the sea with a single point! With one point of this ruler, evil will be annihilated!
"Mountain Shattering!"
The celestial fox possessed Feng Menglong, and actually used the power of vows to condense the righteousness of heaven and earth, briefly restoring the original power of the Tianpeng Ruler!
The Beidi Tianpeng Ruler was swung out, and the Nine Lotus Xuan Fox Ancestor was struck, her body cracking open with a huge wound, and she was swept hundreds of meters away. The celestial fox divine general shouted:
"Evil creature! Beiji Zhenren sent me here to subdue you, yet you dare to resist!"
"According to the heavenly rules!"
"Those evil gods who receive incense, absorb the souls of living beings, summon people in the void, and harm lives, shall be executed!"
He was about to continue the pursuit, but suddenly, a monstrous yin qi erupted from the Eastern Great Vehicle Yang Temple in the county town, instantly turning this yang world into a yin ghost realm!
The yin land permeated, the mountains and rivers changed their forms, and even the celestial fox divine general was stunned for a moment. The Wenxiang Cult members and fox demon Taoists were all stunned, and a sense of inexplicable fear rose in their hearts as the surrounding ghosts wailed.
.......
In front of the Yang Temple, the roar of a firearm shook open the rolling yin qi!
Ji Xiang entered the door and saw Xu Hongru standing at the temple entrance, his body radiating the strength of a near-Golden Core Earth Immortal, but it was very superficial. Ji Xiang could see that this state was the same as when Lord Fire received the incense of the people.
A fake realm.
Making three hand seals, Ji Xiang swallowed all the incense on Xu Hongru's body as soon as he took two steps!
He immediately stopped, and even his surprised expression only lasted for a moment....
"Fixed!"
Ji Xiang used his Minor Divine Power to fix Xu Hongru in place, stopping his form, spirit, and soul completely.
"I'll deal with you later."
At this moment, Ji Xiang looked into the depths of the temple, where someone was walking out. He was a master of the Innate Realm, and his body was filled with yin qi, actually changing the environment of the yang world.
"A Song Dynasty yin spirit? Report your name, this poor Taoist's cannon does not kill nameless ghosts."
The person walked out, his physical body being that of a Wenxiang Cult believer with excellent bones, but there were still many death spots on this body, and his cyan-black skin looked strange and disgusting. But these disgusting places were gradually transforming into a living person's ruddy complexion.
Yin and yang reversed, the dead returned to life.
"Corpse Immortal."
Ji Xiang saw through the path the other person was cultivating at a glance, and the other person smiled slightly, his young face and soft features giving people a gentle feeling: "I am not a Song Dynasty person, I am just borrowing a path in the underworld."
"Beiji Zhenren, on behalf of the [Stillness Wheel Heavenly Palace], and a group of ascended powerhouses from the New Celestial Master Dao, I extend their greetings and invitations!"
