Chapter 137 Profiteering

Clean and swift, with one strike, Wu Baoyi was utterly annihilated, both body and spirit!

His trace on this world completely vanished, and the white jade hand disappeared without a trace.

Ji Xiang returned from the Heavenly Gate, the incense energy from his seven orifices spilling out madly, his skin cracking and splitting, but fortunately this was just normal operation.

Moreover, the next moment, the radiance of the Tai Xu Treasure Light emerged on Ji Xiang's body!

"Now it's mine."

The Tai Xu Treasure Light had its original owner erased by the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord's divine tablet. Ji Xiang burned his incense, recited the Heavenly Lord's precious name, and within ten breaths, the blank divine tablet in his body, aided by the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord's suppression, used Ming smoke to devour it.

The method of driving the gods could not completely drive the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord's divine tablet, after all, it was just an Earthly Fiend art, but it could exchange for it to shake for a moment, even if it was just a simple shot, that was enough.

"Driving the gods has always been a good spell, able to use a medium to manifest the corresponding form and spirit of an invisible god. Just now, that big hand was just a form and spirit transformed from a thought of the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord. I didn't expect it to directly erase a Huang Ting Realm expert from the world."

"On the body of the Emperor of Great Ming, this Ming smoke burned out by karmic fire is a good thing, cooperating with driving the gods, it is always effective."

Tongtian Ming smoke has always been a good helper for Ji Xiang to "forcefully" invite the gods. So far, it has only collapsed once in front of the Tai Xu Treasure Light, but this is no problem, after all, the level of the Tai Xu Treasure Light is higher than it.

The ashes from the human emperor naturally cannot block the light released by the Heavenly Lord.

Of course, the greatest use of the Tai Xu Treasure Light, in Ji Xiang's eyes, is not to brush people, but to store goods, after all, the ownership of this light has become Ji Xiang's.

Finally, he didn't have to carry a sack around anymore.

Although Wu Baoyi was dead, and the physical body of the Mysterious Ancestor Master had also disappeared, that big bell was still there. Nanyangzi hid inside, trying to escape. Ji Xiang drew out the golden mallet from his waist and threw it into the air!

"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"

The golden mallet transformed into a golden light, and the Mysterious Great Bell also released hundreds of thousands of golden lights, but the golden mallet was ranked highest among magical artifacts, and the power to suppress artifacts was naturally not something that spiritual artifacts could resist!

Even if this suppressing artifact could only be used to knock people's heads!

Dang—!

The great bell was hammered by the golden mallet, and immediately the treasure light exploded, and dense cracks appeared on the bell's body, pierced through by the golden mallet!

The great bell was destroyed, and Ji Xiang manipulated the Ming smoke, once again eating up all the remaining Mi Luo Treasure Light!

"Able to resist the invasion of heaven and earth disasters, this treasure light falls into my hands. In the future, any lackeys below the peak of ascension should not think about using such petty tricks as the Five Declines of Heaven and Man!"

The great bell shattered into pieces, and Nanyangzi was also beaten into a pulp. Two forms and spirits escaped from the body, and Ji Xiang's body began to deform.

The form and spirit of the White-Faced True Warrior appeared, directly calling out names!

Then, followed by shattering the void!

This refined form great ghost was immediately annihilated, and then Ji Xiang let out a long roar, summoning the clay sculpture god: "The primordial spirit leaves this earth god statue for your senior brother to use!"

The Fallen Immortal also immediately left the clay sculpture god statue, and Nanyangzi's last bit of form and spirit was attached to the god statue. Soon, the clay sculpture's body and face began to deform, gradually returning to Nanyangzi's original appearance.

The clay sculpture's eyes became agile, and Nanyangzi let out a voice, filled with endless sorrow:

"Heavenly Lord have mercy! How did my Xuanmiao Temple fall to such a state!"

"Stealing the corpse of the Ancestor Master, destroying my entire sect, I will not be human if I do not avenge this!"

The Fallen Immortal couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother, you are no longer human now."

Nanyangzi cursed, "Then if I don't avenge this, I won't even be a ghost!"

After saying that, he thanked Ji Xiang, "Thank you, Zen Master, for saving me. Although you are a heretical demon, my Xuanmiao Temple has indeed received your favor!"

"Zen Master? What Zen Master?"

Ji Xiang asked strangely, "Just now this Fallen Immortal also called me Zen Master, what is this...?"

So, Nanyangzi told the story of the mountain-opening Daoist, including some of the news they had received. According to legend, Ji Xiang was the alias of Tiger-Eye Zen Master Li Bin.

Ji Xiang laughed on the spot, amused to death.

"I became the father of that demon girl for no reason... Eh, wait, does that mean Fire Lord is still alive?"

Nanyangzi shook his head, "I don't know. The news from Chongyang Palace only said that Li Bin, the founder of the Yellow Sky Sect, is still alive, and mentioned the Puzhao Bodhisattva burning the Forbidden City with fire. Whether she is alive or dead, we do not know."

Ji Xiang: "Forget it, she is probably alive. The Yellow Sky Sect has evil arts that can revive living people with vows. I guess this magic is not from them, but from Li Shanhe, after all, the people in Li Shanhe seem to have a unique understanding of the art of vows."

"Now the people in Suzhou City have all had their forms and spirits refined by ghosts. Now I have slaughtered them all with the Five Thunders, I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of the title of murderer. But if you have the heart to thank me, one day, if you encounter Zhang Heavenly Master asking about this matter, just tell him the truth."

Nanyangzi and the Fallen Immortal both agreed. The Fallen Immortal wanted to find a place to reshape his physical body, and so did Nanyangzi. But at this time, Feng Menglong suddenly spoke, "Wait, you can't leave like this!"

Ji Xiang asked strangely, "What ideas does the great scholar have?"

Feng Menglong said, "Daoist Ji, you are thinking too one-sidedly!"

"Those ghosts are causing trouble here, there must still be a backup plan!"

Ji Xiang was stunned, "Scholar Feng, why do you say that?"

Feng Menglong seemed to have full confidence, "According to the stories in those folk novels, when you leave here, when they find a place to cultivate, I'm afraid they will be invaded by these ghosts again. Then, the ghosts will let these two people spread the news of you slaughtering Suzhou everywhere, and then let the righteous path of the world attack you."

"The villains in the novels all operate like this."

The three immortals were all stunned on the spot.

It sounded like there was some truth to it.

It was a classic ghost possession framing a good person. In fact, this kind of thing often happens in normal mortal society, so it is not a special operation, but it is undeniable that although it is simple, it is practical.

"So, what needs to be done now is that Daoist Ji cannot leave, he must sweep through all the surrounding mountain cities, or you two must leave here immediately and go to other powerful temples. From the current point of view, these Yin spirits are afraid of the thunder magic of the Orthodox Unity sect. Although you are the Quanzhen sect, it seems a bit embarrassing to go and join the Orthodox Unity sect, but at the critical moment of life and death, compared to face and life, I think life is more important, right?"

"After all, you still bear the important task of revitalizing Xuanmiao Temple."

Feng Menglong spoke eloquently, and the three immortals all nodded. Nanyangzi even said, "You're right, you said it well!"

"That's true. At this time, regardless of Quanzhen or Orthodox Unity, they are both Daoist sects. There is nothing to worry about going to join them. The Quanzhen sect focuses on cultivating nature and life, but these ghosts are here to steal powerful physical bodies. Using the Five Thunder Orthodox Method to resist is the only choice."

Ji Xiang looked at the surrounding mountain cities and said, "That's good, let me try out the Tai Xu Treasure Light I just obtained."

"No matter what kind of demons and ghosts, once this light sweeps over them, they will all enter the vastness of space."

The Tai Xu Treasure Light flew out and began to tour this vast land at an extremely fast speed!

Sure enough, it was as Feng Menglong had guessed.

The Song court did indeed leave some things here, especially in some hidden areas in the mountains, placing treasures such as jade liquid and nectar. Underneath the nectar in the depths of the cave, there was a hidden formation, obviously engraved by someone.

It was clearly fishing.

The Tai Xu Treasure Light came here, and after shaking, all the jade liquid and nectar disappeared. The formation then started on its own, but without anything to possess, the black gas floated out, staring with blood-red eyes, watching the treasure light that had run away.

Countless black gases were guided out from all corners of the mountain!

The Tai Xu Treasure Light circled in the sky, then suddenly turned back!

Nine-colored light filled the universe, and these black gases staring with blood-red eyes were all taken away by the Tai Xu Treasure Light!

The light returned to Ji Xiang, and the mark of hell on Ji Xiang's palm had been opened. The ghost face laughed heartlessly, and countless black gases fell into hell, and then came the familiar cursing.

Bang!

The mark of hell closed!

Feng Menglong stared blankly for a while, then scratched his ear:

"Daoist, just now, was there someone cursing inside this ghost face..."

Ji Xiang was expressionless, "No, you misheard. The hellish ghosts inside are all very happy. How could the ghosts of Avici Hell curse people? Look, they even gave me so much gold, obviously thanking me."

Afterwards, Ji Xiang gave these gold sands to the two Quanzhen sect immortals. This gold sand could help them mold golden bodies.

Ji Xiang: "It can also be considered making a good connection."

The Fallen Immortal felt that it was worth being beaten by Ji Xiang, if he hadn't possessed the earth god statue, his form and spirit would have been taken away by those ghosts.

Therefore, that earth god is still cursing.

"Although the Yin spirit's backup plan has been eliminated, we still decided to leave here. Since the other party chose my Xuanmiao Temple as the target for possession, I am afraid that if we stay here again, we will also be poisoned."

"Daoist is not Tiger-Eye Zen Master. I will report this matter to Chongyang Palace. I thought Daoist was a treacherous villain before, but now it seems that he is just a little more fierce and ruthless. I summoned many fellow Daoists, originally to stop Daoist, but now I can let them go back."

"There are many strange things in the world today. Now even the Huang Ting Realm is difficult to protect themselves. It is really sad."

Nanyangzi thanked Ji Xiang for his great kindness, and said that if there was anything in the future, the southern Quanzhen sect, all his disciples, would agree. It was just a pity that the mountain gate and the treasure bell inherited by the past Ancestor Masters were destroyed at once, which was sad.

"But I am powerless about the mountain-opening Daoist..."

Ji Xiang: "I did kill the mountain-opening Daoist, but he colluded with demons and ghosts, and was the same kind of person as that Zhenjiang King... Forget it, I have no evidence. I know that Chongyang Palace will definitely not believe me, but believe in the mountain-opening Daoist, after all, he is their sect's mage. Killing him is killing him, I will not change my name or surname, just don't call me Tiger-Eye Zen Master in the future."

"Adding an enemy as a daughter for no reason, scolding her by pointing at her nose is certainly happy, but if it ruins the reputation of my Wudang Mountain because of this, it is really not worth it! There is no need to ruin my own reputation in order to take this advantage."

Ji Xiang looked at the distance, at the little fox hanging on the tree, with her whole body covered with golden light talismans, and stretched out his hand. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the little fox fell on her butt.

"As for this tree... The reason it came here was because of the lure of the Ziji Street monster, and after this guy returned here, he died. Five large iron nails nailed him to death, and it seems that he has been dead for a while."

"It is normal for the form and spirit of the Ziji Street monster to be manipulated and used by Yin spirits, but could there be anything under this jujube tree? It can actually withstand my thunder magic, I am afraid there is a formation under this tree!"

Ji Xiang stretched out his hand, and suddenly the earth shook. Ji Xiang pulled up this big tree with one hand. The roots below were bottomless, as if directly connected to the netherworld.

The meteor cannon aimed at the lower realm, and a deafening roar sounded!

A ray of flame illuminated the darkness, falling straight into the bottomless abyss. There seemed to be something round in the surrounding earth walls, and then the light of the flame gradually disappeared, and everyone did not even hear a collision.

"Tai Xu Treasure Light, go!"

The Tai Xu Treasure Light began to fall into the lower realm. Compared with the fire of firearms, this thing was extremely powerful.

The treasure light entered the dark abyss, illuminating everything around it again, seeing more clearly than the flame. What was terrifying was that under the roots of this big tree, at a position more than three zhang, the immortals could see clearly that it was a pile of heads.

"Impossible, there has never been such an evil thing under Suzhou City!"

The two immortals of Xuanmiao Temple first shouted. They had cultivated in Suzhou for many years, and if there were so many heads underground, they would have been discovered long ago.

"So, these heads still have blood on them, obviously they have not been accumulated over the years, but suddenly appeared here."

"And although the Ziji Street monster is a strange robbing evil god, his appearance symbolizes the decline of the righteous law. So, when did this big tree appear here after the Xuanmiao Temple had an accident? Do you have any impression?"

The two Xuanmiao immortals looked at each other and shook their heads: "We usually cultivate in the earth realm, who would pay attention to an ordinary tree that suddenly appears in the mortal world?"

Ji Xiang drove the treasure light to continue descending. The bottom was bottomless. After a large number of bloody heads, there was a meat pit composed of rotten internal organs. Corpse water flowed gurglingly, like a waterfall, exuding a dim and decadent aura.

The Tai Xu Treasure Light continued to descend.

Ji Xiang had no intention of taking these things into the Tai Xu Treasure Light, it was really disgusting, and even the evil ghosts of Avici Hell shook their heads when they saw it.

Finally, a tumbling red light appeared at the bottom. This red light finally appeared from the bottom of the abyss, and even people above the abyss, like Feng Menglong, who had mortal eyes, could see it.

It was a formation, all made of human blood.

The Inner Vision Divine Tablet gave a description of the strange event:

[Profound Yin Red Furnace Blood Sacrifice Formation (Interrupted): Walking corpses and bones covet fame and fortune, dividing and determining the outline. Not thinking about the body, skin and skeleton are used as coffins. Persuade people to cut off the climbing rope and jump out of the red furnace.]

[The red furnace is a fierce and filthy world, drawn as a furnace for burning corpses. Blood is a ghostly Yin object, seeking gods with kind, and using blood sacrifices to sacrifice to the gods of the country.]

[When the Azure Dragon Red Blood Formation is in operation, this formation will respond, so that the ghosts and people will have the same lifespan. Yin energy will be converted into Yang energy in large quantities, and the Yin energy of the human world will be invested in this formation in large quantities. However, after the two formations are used once each other, the Yin and Yang flow in this place will be completely disrupted, completely abandoned, and become a place of Yin and Yang chaos.]

[Destroy the Azure Dragon Red Blood Formation, and this formation will stop on its own.]

[Using one of the treasures of Maoshan, the "White Jade Tortoise Platform," can shatter this formation.]

[Using the Maoshan Xuanzhen Precious Scripture as a guide, and then using the blood of a white rooster sprinkled in the formation can restore the balance of the chaotic Yin and Yang and dissolve this formation.]

[Reciting the "Profound Yin Seven Clouds, Nine Heavens Spirit Essence, Jade Mountain Shining, Rainbow Reflecting the Upper Purity, Golden Earrings and Jade Pendants, Born with Heaven, Two Scenes Entwined, Descending to My Form" in the Maoshan Xuanzhen Precious Scripture... can reverse this formation, refining all Yin energy ghosts in the red furnace!]

Ji Xiang's eyes showed understanding.

The Azure Dragon Red Blood Formation is a formation of Maoshan, used to reverse the five elements and reverse Yin and Yang, and can fuse all things. This great formation is related to the Azure Dragon Red Blood Formation, but it seems that Nanyangzi does not have the memory when he was controlled.

The Song court would use the Azure Dragon Red Blood Formation, so what is the origin of Wu Baoyi, and what is the relationship between him and this formation?

That ghost Dulu said that he was summoned, and his spiritual soldiers were also summoned. Then, he should be the same person as the person who set up this formation. Is he the Song court's agent in the world?

The Xuanmiao Temple Ancestor Master's corpse used by Wu Baoyi was also dug out by this agent.

It seems that he has already left here, otherwise the Tai Xu Treasure Light should have caught him.

"I am not proficient in formations. Even if I know the method of breaking the formation, I don't have the corresponding means, not only because this formation is related to Maoshan, but also because, among the many famous sects, only Maoshan is the most knowledgeable about formations. It seems that before continuing south, I have to go to Maoshan and ask for advice."

"But although I don't know the method of breaking the formation, I can at least burn the rotten corpses below..."

Ji Xiang whispered the passage of scripture from the Maoshan Xuanzhen Precious Scripture.

In an instant, this Profound Yin Red Furnace Great Formation reacted. Everyone saw that the rotten organs and heads were all peeled off from the soil and fell, and all the fierce evil spirits and filthy blood also broke away from the soil and invested in the bloody formation.

The Yin energy ghosts were all refined. Under the urging of the Maoshan law, a ball of white light soon appeared, and was taken back by the Tai Xu Treasure Light.
