At the foot of Qingyun Mountain, in a valley, the masters of the Ghost King Sect, Wandu Sect, Hehuan Sect, and Changsheng Hall, the four major demon sects in the world, gathered together. There were hundreds of people, all of whom were among the elite masters of the demon sects today. , the leader is surprisingly the leader of the four great demon sects: Ghost King, Sanmiao Fairy, Poison God and Yuyangzi.
The Demon Sect has always respected the strong. Even within the same sect, there are constant disputes, let alone among the four major Demon Sects. There have always been many overt and covert fights with each other. Like today, the four Demon Sects are gathered together. Scenes of concerted efforts are rare even in the history of the Demon Sect.
Usually, what can make the various factions of the Demon Sect so united is nothing more than the time for a decisive battle with the righteous factions, but today, there is another reason, and that is to recapture the Demon Sect's supreme treasure, the Blood-devouring Bead!
In the world of Zhuxian, the demon sect has a long history, and there are many factions in the sect, which rise and fall from time to time.
The Blood Refining Hall where the black-hearted old man belonged eight hundred years ago was known as the number one faction of the Demonic Cult at that time. He is strong and has many masters. The black-hearted old man himself is an ancestor on the path of cultivation. But then the years changed. After several battles with the right way, the Blood Refining Hall gradually declined and was replaced by other factions.
In today's world, the four major factions of the Demonic Cult stand side by side. They are Hehuan Sect, Wan Du Sect, Changsheng Hall, and Ghost King Sect. But when it comes to its popularity, none can match the popularity of the Blood Refining Hall.
Rumor has it that the reason why the black-hearted old man was able to unify the Demon Sect was because of the blood-devouring bead, a supreme treasure with incredible magical power. Nowadays, the Demon Sect's forces are far inferior to those of the righteous factions. If we can take back this priceless treasure, Using the magic treasure might be able to turn the situation around, but right now, there is a great opportunity to destroy the Qingyun Sect, so the four sects of the Demon Sect heard about it and came together.
Of course, Jiang Chen was indispensable behind this, adding fuel to the fire.
At the same time that the people from the Demon Sect were marching in, Jiang Chen had already used his magical power to hide his figure, mixed with a group of righteous monks, and went up to Qingyun Mountain.
As the residence of the Qingyun Sect, the largest sect in the world, the natural scenery on Qingyun Mountain is extraordinary. For many people, this place is almost like a legendary fairyland.
After passing through the mountain gate and climbing up the mountain, we soon came to a very huge square. The ground was paved with white marble, which was so bright that it made people feel insignificant at a glance. The white clouds in the distance are like gauze, floating under my feet. In the center of the square, a giant copper cauldron is placed every few dozen feet, divided into three rows, with three in each row, a total of nine cauldrons, arranged regularly. There is light smoke floating in the cauldron from time to time, and the smell is clear but not dispersed.
This is the sea of clouds among the six scenes of Qingyun!
At the end of Yunhai Square, a stone bridge without seats or piers rises across the sky, with one end resting on the square, extending diagonally upward into the depths of the white clouds, like a dragon leaping into the sky, with an aloof momentum. There is a soft sound of water, and under the sunlight, the entire bridge is scattered with colorful colors, like a rainbow in the sky, falling into the world, gorgeous and beautiful.
This Hongqiao is extremely tall and long. There is water constantly flowing down both sides of the bridge. It is extremely clear, but the middle part is not wet. The sun shines through the clouds on the bridge and is refracted by the water, forming a brilliant rainbow. When people walk on it, they feel that the white clouds on the left and right gradually sink to their feet, getting higher and higher.
After crossing the Hongqiao and walking out of the sea of clouds, my eyes suddenly lit up and I saw the sky was like a wash, blue and transparent. The sky on all sides is vast and boundless; below there is a vast sea of clouds, gently floating and sinking. One look at it, and your mind suddenly becomes wider.
And right in front, past the Observation Platform near the Bibo Pool where the water unicorn, the guardian spirit beast of Qingyun Gate, lives, is where the "Yuqing Hall", the main hall of Qingyun Gate at the top of Tongtian Peak, is located.
The green hills are green and the palaces are majestic. The "Yuqing Palace" is located on the top of the peak, surrounded by clouds. From time to time, there are a few auspicious cranes, flying by with long calls, hovering in the air, like a fairyland, which makes people admire!
This is the most sacred place in Qingyun Sect. It has always been in charge of the headmaster and no idlers are allowed to enter. However, today, there are many people standing in the main hall. At a glance, there are the first elder of Qingyun Sect and Tianyin. The monks from the temple, the masters from Fenxiang Valley, and many righteous practitioners all gathered together.
In the middle of the hall, above the main seat, the venerable and immortal Daoxuan Master was sitting there. Next to his seat, there was a small coffee table, and what was placed on the table was Zhang Xiaofan's magic weapon, the fire stick.
In the row to his right was the head seat of each branch of the Qingyun Sect. Everyone, including Tian Buyi, was sitting there. The other elders and disciples of the Qingyun Sect were sitting or standing behind them. People such as Qi Hao, Lin Jingyu and others were all present. Behind Master Shuiyue stood Wen Min, whom Song Daren longed for. Next to her, Lu Xueqi was also standing there silently at this moment, with a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be shining with light.
Jiang Chen's self-cultivation is higher than anyone present, and no one can see that he can't break through the invisibility technique. He is watching this catastrophe with great interest. After all, this wonderful catastrophe is driven by his own hands. Directed by one hand.
Not long after, a Tongtian Peak disciple named "Chang Jian" walked over with Song Daren and Zhang Xiaofan, saluted Master Daoxuan, and said, "Master, Junior Brother Zhang from Dazhu Peak has arrived."
The people around him trembled, and their eyes suddenly moved over. Not only Zhang Xiaofan, but also Song Daren felt a little uncomfortable. When Tian Buyi saw this, his face darkened. Suru knew her husband's intentions and quickly said to Song Daren. : "Daren, please stand up first."
"Yes, Master." Song Daren responded and walked over quickly. Only Zhang Xiaofan was left standing alone in the hall.
The sun shines in from the gate of Yuqing Palace and shines on Zhang Xiaofan, casting a long lonely shadow with a strange desolation.
Master Daoxuan looked down expressionlessly, and saw a lonely young man standing there between the crowds on both sides, with slight nervousness and fear in his eyes, and even his hands were clenched tightly.
Is this really the orphan with mediocre qualifications in Caomiao Village back then
Deep in his heart, he sighed,
"Zhang Xiaofan." Master Daoxuan called out slowly.
Zhang Xiaofan's body seemed to tremble slightly, and he slowly knelt down and whispered: "The disciple is here."
Master Daoxuan looked at him and said: "These seniors next to me are all experts in my righteous way, and they are here for you this time. This is the presiding monk Puhong of Tianyin Temple. Sitting next to him is They are also the divine monk Pukong of Tianyin Temple, and the master of Yun Yilan Valley of Fenxiang Valley..."
Master Daoxuan couldn't lose his etiquette, so he naturally had to mention all the famous names behind him, but Zhang Xiaofan had no intention of listening anymore.
"Zhang Xiaofan," Master Daoxuan said slowly, "Now I'm going to ask you a few things, and you have to answer them honestly."
Zhang Xiaofan whispered: "Yes."
Master Daoxuan seemed to be considering his words, and after a long while, he slowly said: "During this trip to the hundred-mile wilderness of Heyang City, a Taoist friend from Tianyin Temple pointed out the Taoist methods you used when fighting against people from the Demon Sect. It is the true Dharma of 'Great Brahma Prajna' which is never taught outside the Tianyin Temple. Is this possible?"
Zhang Xiaofan did not speak, and suddenly the atmosphere in Yuqing Palace seemed to be slightly tense. There seemed to be something invisible beating gently in the air, as if time was frozen at this moment. It wasn't until a while later that Zhang Xiaofan's voice slowly sounded in this silent moment:
"yes."
Hearing this, there was an uproar in the main hall. Although this answer had been expected for a long time, after Zhang Xiaofan said it, the monks of Tianyin Temple were still shocked. Only Puhong and Pukong who were sitting in front, including The Faxiang standing behind them had no expression on his face and was silent.
But here at Qingyun Gate, Tian Buyi's face became more and more ugly, and the faces of Song Daren and others were also extremely pale.
Daoxuan Zhenren frowned and glanced slightly at the Tianyin Temple Puhong Divine Monk. However, amidst the excited expressions of all the disciples, Puhong slowly closed his eyes and made it clear that he would not be there for the time being. Open your mouth. With a cold snort in his heart, he turned to look at Zhang Xiaofan, and at the same time raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
After all, his status is not trivial. Soon, everyone from the Qingyun sect to the other sects became quiet. Master Daoxuan could only be heard saying slowly: "Besides, some people say that this fire stick in your hand is..." , he reached out and picked up the black stick, and continued: "There is an evil thing on it, the 'blood-devouring bead', but is it true?"
There was another moment of silence, but Zhang Xiaofan finally responded in a low voice: "Yes."
This time, everyone unexpectedly remained silent. Blood-devouring beads, this word full of bloody evil, actually appears on the body of a Qingyun Sect disciple!
"Do you have anything to say?" Master Daoxuan's face became more and more gloomy. At the end, he couldn't help but shouted: "Tell me! Where did this blood-devouring bead come from?"
After Zhang Xiaofan shouted loudly, there was a buzz in his mind, and he was suddenly confused. He finally spoke. From this beginning, the following words naturally followed: From being played by the monkey Xiao Hui when he was a child, to later being with Tian Linger Chasing to the deep valley in the back mountain, the blood-devouring bead and the strange black stick suddenly fought with each other, and finally changed into this shape.
Above the hall, everyone looked at each other, even Master Daoxuan, Puhong, Pukong, and Yun Yilan from Fenxiang Valley frowned. It was the first time for these accomplished monks to hear about the blood-devouring bead and soul-absorbing bead being smelted using blood as a medium. It shows that the world is so vast and there are indeed many wonders. There were quite a few people who were doubtful, but seeing Zhang Xiaofan's eyes slightly dull and his expression lost, it didn't look like he was lying.
Master Daoxuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhang Xiaofan and said: "Okay, I will believe your story about the accidental smelting, but before that, the blood-devouring bead was already on your body. How could you, a little kid, do this? Waiting for something evil? Also, the blood-devouring bead has always sucked the essence and blood of living creatures, and it was not smelted with Soul-Destroying Beads at that time, how could you be safe?"
Zhang Xiaofan was speechless. The scene in front of him seemed to have returned to many years ago. He was facing the old monk. The young boy said to him stubbornly and firmly: "I know, I won't tell you until I die!"
