I’m Not An Immortal

Chapter 540: Chapter 540 The Culprit

Views:

Those who were killed were the innocent people of Kunwu...

Wang Que only started learning Buddhism over 400 years ago. At that time, Qu Zhengfeng was already a famous figure in the 19 continents. Although he had little contact with this person, he had witnessed his extraordinary and polite conversation like others. From any perspective, he could be called the well-deserved "senior brother" of Yashan.

But now such words came out of the other party's mouth.

At this moment, Wang felt murderous intent in his heart. After all, so many people in Kunwu who used to live with him day and night had died at his hands without asking any questions!

But after the anger, comes sadness.

Today’s result is yesterday’s cause, and what needs to be paid must be paid back.

The whole mountain was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people feel sick.

The elite Kunwu monks who had rushed back all the way from the Extreme Territory were all heartbroken and filled with grief when they first saw this hellish scene on earth, not to mention hearing Qu Zhengfeng's arrogant words.

They were so angry that they couldn't suppress it, and they all drew their swords!

Only Zhenren Hengxu, after landing in front of the main hall, turned around and looked around, but he saw that there was no living person on the ten surrounding peaks, and all the palaces and pavilions were destroyed. The towering ancient trees lay on the ground, and even the waterfalls in the mountains were flowing with blood. Corpses were lying in the water, washed away by the water, without moving at all.

Who can believe that this is the Kunwu of the past? !

He only looked around before he could say anything, as his body, which had been damaged in the previous battle in Bafang City, could not suppress the rage in his heart. With a "puff", he spat out another mouthful of blood!

“Master!”

“Master—”

"Real person..."

All the elders and disciples knew that Master Hengxu was in a bad condition, but he had taken many elixirs on the way back to suppress his condition. How could they have expected to see such a condition when they returned to Kunwu

The most important thing for people who practice spiritual practice is to have a wandering mind.

What’s more, it is such a deep hatred that is difficult to calm down

Even if the previous injuries were suppressed, the surging emotions at this moment would backfire tenfold or a hundredfold!

Zhenren Hengxu only felt a buzzing in his head, as if struck by thunder, and his eyes were stained with blood. He could not even see the concerned and worried faces clearly.

It shouldn't be like this...

It shouldn't be like this!

He had clearly calculated with the help of the Zhoutian Star Array that Kunwu would encounter a catastrophe within a hundred years, and he also accepted Xie Buchen, the man who could avert catastrophe, as his disciple. He also had the Nine-headed Bird point out the location of the "greatest demon and most evil" and he risked the world's condemnation to draw his sword and eliminate it!

But why did the catastrophe still come as expected

However, the person standing on the top of Kunwu Peak with the long sword stained in blood was neither the ghost cultivator from Jiyu nor the Fu Chaosheng of mysterious origin, but Qu Zhengfeng who was born in Yashan in the past!

But he couldn't stop it after all!

The tragic scene around him made his heart tremble and his lips quiver. Anger and sorrow flashed alternately in his eyes that were filled with vicissitudes of life.

In the end, it turned into a huge confusion.

You can defeat others, but ultimately you can’t defeat the sky

At this moment, Hengxu suddenly burst into laughter. Everyone around him wanted to reach out to support his staggering body, but he waved them away with a palm!

In this extremely weak state, he managed to stand.

A pair of red eyes turned to look at Qu Zhengfeng.

It really is true that you can’t judge a book by its cover!

He had started plotting since he rebelled against Yashan eighty years ago!

He stole the Yashan Sword and massacred the Jianzhu Sect;

Take charge of the starry sea of tomorrow and become the Sword Emperor of the Starry Sea.

In this way, he controlled the most complex land in the 19 continents. In the subsequent Yin-Yang World War, no one would doubt that the number of cultivators sent by his Tomorrow Star Sea was different or too small. After all, most of the cultivators in Tomorrow Star Sea were desperate criminals who had never expected a better tomorrow. It was common for them to not pay attention to the Yin-Yang World War that was related to reincarnation.

So at this moment, he can take advantage of the opportunity to destroy Kunwu!

The hundreds of cultivators on the opposite side are all experts in killing people without blinking an eye. They are the desperate criminals of the Tomorrow Star Sea. Naturally, there are also some demon cultivators who have old grudges with Kunwu.

Kunwu and the demon sect also have an old feud.

Long before Baji Daozun ascended to heaven, the two sides had several exchanges due to the "Nine-Curved River Map", but at that time Daozun was too powerful and beat the demons so hard that they retreated and dared not come out.

Now that the two sides have colluded and made a comeback, how can these weak monks left in the sect stop them

But those are the real backbone of Kunwu!

Their cultivation may not be top-notch, but it is the most common cultivation in a sect. In time, these talented disciples will grow up and replace the aging and weakening high-level cultivators to support the entire Kunwu!

But Qu Zhengfeng killed exactly these people!

Even though 60% to 70% of the elite Kunwu soldiers who participated in the battle in the Polar Region are still alive, they are now either exhausted or injured, and it is unknown how long it will take them to recover. How can they hold on to Kunwu when their nest has been slaughtered and the next generation has been wiped out

With just this one killing, the Kunwu Sect is in a period of transition!

It is completely at the lowest cost to achieve the greatest effect!

For Kunwu, the present is a catastrophe that may not be able to survive safely; but even if it survives by chance, the next few hundred years will be the real difficulties that Kunwu needs to face...

Such a huge sect, but with little strength.

With only the support of the senior monks, while the younger disciples have not yet grown up, in this Nineteen Continents where the strong prey on the weak, they are like babies and the elderly, trying to survive in the cruel cracks!

"What a calculation, what a vicious plot!"

Zhenren Hengxu had never expected that the Kunwu catastrophe would eventually befall Qu Zhengfeng. When he gritted his teeth and said this, his throat seemed to be bleeding!

Qu Zhengfeng just relaxed his palm calmly, as if it was not him who had just killed several Kunwu disciples with a single seal from Hou Tu. His eyes were fixed on Master Hengxu and the many Kunwu monks who had finally rushed back behind him. He smiled calmly, "Master, you are too kind. I have only learned a few tricks from you. I am not worthy of being a show-off. There are more vicious things to come..."

The moment he finished speaking, the cultivators from the demon sect behind him had already taken action!

He is a puppet monk in the demon sect!

There is only one thing that he is good at refining, and it is called the Soul Puppet. It only uses a human body as a puppet, but can make it obey orders and exert half of its strength when it was alive!

But when they heard the sound of the incantation being chanted in the mountains, the many Kunwu monks who had already fallen to the ground and lost their lives actually stood up shakily!

How familiar is this situation

There is really no difference between the human puppets of these Nineteen Continents and the soul puppets of the Extreme Domain.

At first glance, it makes people feel creepy and extremely angry!

Qu Zhengfeng actually used the bodies of these dead people to launch another attack on Kunwu, and most of the attacks fell on the group of reinforcements that had rushed back.

The Kunwu cultivators had just returned from the Extreme Region, and it was really difficult for them to face the Tomorrow Star Sea and the Demonic Dao. They had suffered some losses, but Qu Zhengfeng had not spent much energy in the previous massacre, and he fought against them with almost full strength.

The blood, which had just stopped flowing for a moment, suddenly began to spurt again.

Compared to the one-sided massacre before the Kunwu cultivators came back, the current situation was naturally evenly matched. Both sides fought back and forth, with swords and knives clashing, and both suffered casualties. But whether it was the cultivators of the Tomorrow Star Sea or the cultivators of the Demonic Dao, they were all fearless and fearless, and they had no scruples when they started fighting. Most of them were desperate criminals with ruthless means. Even though Kunwu was more powerful than them, he was still defeated under this fierce and fierce attack!

The ground around Yihe Palace was suddenly covered with blood.

Monks flying swords in the air kept losing their lives and falling from great heights. There was also a drifting rain of blood that fell on the hundreds of disciples with insufficient cultivation behind the hall. Some of the young and naive ones had already burst into tears at this moment.

Zhenren Hengxu's expression changed several times. He ordered several of his true disciples to hold back Qu Zhengfeng, who was mastering the Houtu Seal and the Yashan Sword at the same time. He himself formed seals with both hands, bit his tongue, and spurted blood onto the seals. He actually forcibly performed the method of teleportation!

All the monks in front of Yihe Palace disappeared instantly!

Qu Zhengfeng was besieged by several people at the same time, and he sensed the powerful spatial fluctuation almost at the same time, but he was unable to get away to stop it. After forcing Zhao Zhuo back with a sword, he looked up and found that the Yihe Palace was empty. Most of the Kunwu monks had been forcibly transferred by Zhenren Hengxu to the vast sea of clouds in front of the Zhutian Palace!

The originally smiling face suddenly turned gloomy.

Qu Zhengfeng easily understood Hengxu's plan. The Great Hall of All Heavens was three hundred feet into the sky, built above the sea of clouds, with white clouds as its square, and overlooking the entire earth. It was a place that his Hou Tu Seal could not control. If a war broke out here, the Hou Tu Seal in his hand would be almost useless.

As expected of Heng Xu, even in this situation, his mind is still so clear.

However, after these two rounds of slaughter, nearly half of the monks who rushed back from Kunwu had been killed, leaving only a pitiful four or five hundred people.

Everyone looked panicked and hateful, but they could do nothing to him.

Even the once powerful Hengxu Zhenren looked weak and shaky. It seemed that he had suffered a lot during the decisive battle in Bafang City.

Qu Zhengfeng put his fingers together like knives. At the moment when Yue He Jiang Liu's sword intent was about to pierce him, he dodged and at the same time, he actually caught his sword intent that was supposed to be futile. He laughed coldly: "Do you think you are qualified to draw your sword in front of me?"

When Yue He heard the sound, he felt something was wrong.

However, Jiang Liu's sword intent, which usually moved as he pleased, was suppressed by Qu Zhengfeng between his fingers like a real sword, and he could not withdraw it. Before he could make any reaction, a warm feeling with a hint of coolness came from behind his head and penetrated his entire head!

A dark blue sword tip stained with blood pierced out from between his eyebrows.

The clear blue light was like a surging tide, washing away layer by layer, dispersing his soul in just a moment, and all his expressions were concentrated in that moment of shock and confusion.

Jiang Liu's sword intent suddenly disappeared!

Qu Zhengfeng only gave a slight push, and Yue He fell from the high mountain peak. Countless painful cries were heard around him.

"Junior Brother Yuehe!"

“Senior Brother Yue!!!”

But what could he do? He could only watch him fall into the clouds, and then watch the dark blue sword fly into Qu Zhengfeng's hand. It was the Haiguang sword that had accompanied him for the longest time.

The sea of clouds in front of the Hall of All Heavens is extremely vast.

In the past, when the Kunwu monks stood on it, it was full, but now it is sparsely gathered together, showing a desperate decline.

Qu Zhengfeng didn't need to attack upwards at all. He just used the Earth Seal to control the main peak of Kunwu and raised it straight up from the ground!

“Boom!”

The mountain peaks shook, rocks fell, but the people standing on them remained motionless.

The uplifted mountain wind instantly broke through the sea of clouds and reached as high as the sky!

Tomorrow Star Sea and the Demonic Dao monks were about to seize the opportunity to take action, but at this moment, countless magical weapons and lights were whistling towards them from afar!

It actually turned the entire sky into a brilliant color!

Wangjiang Tower, Wanghai Tower, Baiyue Valley, Southwestern Aristocratic Families, Wuyi Sect, Longmen, the Demon Sealing Sword Sect, Tongling Pavilion, and even the West Sea Zen Sect and the Northern Territory Yin and Yang Sects, have all arrived!

The incident happened suddenly in Kunwu. At first, we only heard Hengxu Zhenren ask Qu Zhengfeng a question, and then we saw that all the cultivators in Kunwu quickly evacuated for some reason. The major sects didn't know what happened at first, until the teleportation array at Dongji Guimen was destroyed and repaired, and then we got the exact news.

They set out later than Kunwu, so of course they arrived even later than Kunwu.

I was terrified all the way back. When I arrived at Kunwu and looked around, I was shocked by the tragic scene and the cold-blooded and cruel methods of the killers. When I fell on the sea of clouds, I was speechless.

Zhang Yuandai, the hot-tempered leader of the Demon Sealing Sword Sect, just stood beside Master Hengxu with everyone else. When he saw Qu Zhengfeng's seemingly normal appearance, he clearly judged that he might have been completely possessed by the devil!

The sword is born for killing.

When a sword practitioner becomes possessed by the devil, he is called a "Sword Demon". His murderous and ruthless nature will only increase tenfold or a hundredfold!

He clasped the sword at his waist with his fingers, and said to all the cultivators around him: "Everyone be careful, this man has become a sword demon because of his sword, and his cultivation is definitely not as simple as it seems. Kunwu is in danger now, and my righteous path is in danger. If we allow this guy to do evil in Kunwu, many of my sects will also fall into his hands in the future! Today we have finished the battle in the Extreme Domain, and now we must work together to kill the evil demons! My Sealing Demon Sword Sect will never spare the demons in this world!"

How could the other monks not know the principle of the lips and teeth being in danger

When Qu Zhengfeng was possessed by the devil, he slaughtered half of the Jianzhu Sect in order to seize the "Nine-Bend River Map". Now he is raising his sword towards Kunwu. It is obvious that he has fallen into the devil's way and cannot extricate himself!

The expressions of the cultivators were all cold and solemn, and they all suppressed the magical weapons in their hands.

The situation on the field suddenly changed.

Before the reinforcements arrived, Qu Zhengfeng's side was evenly matched with Kunwu, and they killed half of each other's cultivators.

Now, there are thousands of cultivators from all 19 continents here!

Qu Zhengfeng only had a few hundred men, and was completely at a disadvantage surrounded by thousands of monks.

But there was no sign of panic on his face.

A mocking look passed over Zhang Yuandai. Qu Zhengfeng pondered the word "demon". He lowered the Yashan sword in his hand and laughed, "Your Fengmo Sword Sect will not spare the demons in this world? If so, why do you still associate with Kunwu? Such a big demon is right next to you, Zhang, but you turn a blind eye to it. Sect Leader Zhang, how long have you been blind?"

Beside you

Zhang Yuandai was speaking righteously, but was suddenly refuted by him like this. He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked to his side.

The person standing next to him was none other than Master Hengxu!

At this moment, Zhang Yuandai felt a surge of anger, thinking that he was being fooled by Qu Zhengfeng. He said with a cold face: "I thought you betrayed Yashan, but at least you were once a Yashan disciple, and you should have some Yashan integrity. I didn't expect you to be possessed by the devil today and lie like this! Not only did you commit such a serious crime of killing Kunwu, but you also reversed right and wrong and confused good and evil. You deserve to die!"

"Ha ha ha ha… "

Qu Zhengfeng laughed loudly this time, but there was no smile in his eyes. His sharp gaze penetrated the void in the middle and fell on Zhenren Hengxu without any hindrance.

"Master, listen carefully. You are confusing right and wrong, and you deserve to be killed! You, Kunwu, deserve it!"

What, what do you mean

Zhang Yuandai was just confused after hearing this.

It was obvious that every word he said was addressed to Qu Zhengfeng, so why didn't Qu Zhengfeng answer him, but instead spoke every word to Master Hengxu

There was a lot of whispering among the many monks.

Fairy Xuan Yue of the Yin Sect in the Northern Territory has frowned.

To be fair, she had admired Qu Zhengfeng very much in the past, but this time, he really went too far: "Your Majesty the Sword Emperor has already taken charge of the Tomorrow Star Sea. Although he has been possessed by the devil, he should not have offended Kunwu and our righteous path in the slightest. Now, the many cultivators in Kunwu have neither hatred nor grievances with you, and they have never been used against you. If you kill them, you will commit a sin of killing. Now that all my cultivators are here, we can no longer allow you to be so presumptuous here. Your cultivation is not easy to come by. Your Majesty the Sword Emperor, if you don't stop in time..."

"Stop? It's really easy to ask Qu to stop."

Qu Zhengfeng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Fairy Xuanyue. His eyes, which were concealed with a hint of evil, then fell back on True Man Hengxu.

The voice was already cold at this moment!

"As long as Kunwu can hand over Shen Jiuhan and confront me, I will not only stop, but also let you, Kunwu, deal with me!"

"Wow..."

Above the sea of clouds, everyone was shocked. All kinds of discussions could no longer be suppressed and spread in all directions.

Everyone thought Qu Zhengfeng was crazy!

After all the planning and going to so much trouble, it turned out to be just to force Kunwu to give him a person. Isn't this too unbelievable

"I'm afraid it's a trick!"

"Who is this Shen Jiuhan?"

"Do you have any grievance against him?"

"I heard that he is the junior fellow of Master Hengxu..."

Zhenren Hengxu's face was not looking good to begin with, and the discussions were heard everywhere, but no one could tell whether the expression on his face had improved or worsened.

Zhang Yuandai pondered and felt that Qu Zhengfeng was talking nonsense. "What nonsense! If it's just this one person, Kunwu has always been reasonable. Even if there is any grudge, just put it on the table. What's the big deal about one person? Now you have come to kill Kunwu, and you say you came just for one person. Do you think we, the righteous cultivators, can be fooled? Everyone, listen to me. This brat is full of nonsense. We don't need to waste time talking to him, let's just do it!"

"Who dares to do it?!"

"Wait a minute!"

No one expected that as soon as the word "take action" came out, two shouts of "stop" came from the monks' formation at the same time!

Everyone turned around and saw that one was the hermit Fudao from Yashan and the other was the fairy princess Xuanyue from Yin Sect!

Fudao Shanren was holding a nine-section bamboo in his hand, and there was no trace of the relaxed expression he used to have on his face. He even looked even more gloomy than Zhenren Hengxu.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the cultivators in Yashan drew their swords!

The sword intent soared into the sky, which was shocking!

Everyone was surprised and confused about what Fudao Mountain Master meant. They asked, "What does Elder Fudao mean by this? Although Qu Zhengfeng was once a disciple of Yashan, he has been possessed by a demon today! Are we going to kill the demon today, and the elder is going to protect him?!"

Above the sea of clouds, the situation was tense and the crowd was indignant.

However, Fairy Xuan Yue stared at Qu Zhengfeng for a long time, and after hearing everyone's arguments, her brows furrowed again, but she calmly advised: "Please be patient."

She is the most powerful person in the Northern Territory, and her voice spreads throughout the sea of clouds.

Everyone fell silent.

Qu Zhengfeng also looked at her.

Fairy Xuan Yue said, "Although the Nineteen Continents are a place where the weak are the prey of the strong, killing will eventually hurt the harmony of each family. It should be avoided if possible. Besides, the war in the Yin-Yang Realm has just ended, and no one wants to see it start again. Since His Majesty the Sword Emperor said that he wanted to confront Daoist Fellow Shen Jiuhan of Kunwu, although we don't know whether it is true or not, nor do we know the reason, why not ask Daoist Fellow Shen to come out and meet him? He has been in seclusion for more than 600 years. In this catastrophe, he should help Kunwu. I think he will not refuse. If His Majesty the Sword Emperor keeps his word, today's matter should come to an end; if His Majesty the Sword Emperor does not keep his word, we will kill him again, which is justified and without regrets. I wonder, what do you think?"

"this… "

Several powerful monks looked at each other. Except for Zhang Yuandai who was straightforward, they were all very smart. How could they not understand the logic of what Fairy Xuanyue said

No one wants to kill anymore, as the war in the Yin-Yang Realm has already caused great damage to the major sects.

But they are not like Fairy Xuanyue, who comes from the Northern Territory and can say whatever she wants. They all have their reservations.

No one made a statement first.

Qu Zhengfeng sneered when he saw this.

A long sigh arose in the field: "Amitabha! In the world war eleven sixty years ago, our Zen sect was also negligent, and the death of Yashan Qianxiu is also puzzling. At that time, Buddhism split and moved north, and I had no time to ask about it. Now that everything is over, I think of those years, and I feel extremely guilty and can never let it go. I only ask that Yashan Kunwu had a quarrel because of this, and this fellow Taoist Shen Jiuhan has been in seclusion since then and has not been seen. Although His Majesty the Sword Emperor killed Kunwu Qianxiu, Yichen dares to ask Zhenren Hengxu and fellow Taoist Shen to come out and give justice to what happened back then..."

Everyone turned to look and was shocked.

The person who spoke was not someone else, but the Xihai Zen master who rarely interfered in worldly affairs!

Monk Yichen, Abbot Wujiu and Zen Master Xuelang stood in front of the other Buddhist practitioners. They all had heavy expressions on their faces and their words clearly expressed the Zen stance.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the field suddenly became subtle.

No one understands what is going on.

Clearly Qu Zhengfeng has already betrayed Yashan, but Fudaoshanren and Yashan are still arguing with each other, unable to distinguish right from wrong; Fairy Xuanyue keeps calling him "Your Majesty the Sword Emperor", and her words are really polite; the Xihai Zen Sect is even more bizarre, how come this incident has something to do with you bunch of bald donkeys

But after discussing it in more detail, everyone felt that it was somewhat strange.

Just from the attitudes of these powerful monks on the field, one seems to be able to glimpse some unspeakable subtle secrets.

Suddenly, some subtle doubts that there was a hidden secret were heard everywhere.

After hearing this, all the Kunwu cultivators looked unhappy.

An elder even pointed his finger at Qu Zhengfeng's nose and asked sternly, "Everyone knows that Junior Brother Shen is in a state of seclusion and has not come out for over 600 years. How can a mere heretic like you just want to see him?!"

"Yeah?"

Qu Zhengfeng really didn't take this elder seriously. Anyway, he had almost slaughtered all the Kunwu people from top to bottom. At this moment, he just curled the corners of his lips, looked at Zhenren Hengxu, and questioned him word by word.

"Six hundred years of death barrier, Master, is this really the case?"

Zhenren Hengxu's cultivation was severely damaged, but his sharpness and wisdom as the chief of Kunwu were still there. Just by looking at Qu Zhengfeng's calm and shocked expression and listening to his words that concealed some deep meaning, his heart sank and he knew what would happen next.

His eyes were cold and he did not answer.

Qu Zhengfeng sneered, his voice suddenly rising: "At this critical moment of Kunwu's life and death, he didn't show up. The real person used to be very reasonable, but now he refuses to hand it over! Is it because he is unwilling to hand it over, or is it because he simply can't hand it over?"

"Bang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand into the void and actually grabbed something and threw it onto the sea of clouds!

The clouds were blown away.

The object rolled around and stopped.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that it was a dried corpse!

It's unknown how many years he has been dead. His muscles have become dry and decayed, and his face can hardly be seen. All one can see is that he is a male cultivator. He is wearing a Kunwu Taoist robe, and a dusty dark purple sword is stuck in his chest!

Most people didn't recognize it, but several elders of Kunwu immediately exclaimed: "Xuanyuan Sword!"

Hengxu slowly closed his eyes.

Qu Zhengfeng looked down at him, standing with his hands behind his back, and sighed with a bit of sarcasm: "Poor Shen Jiuhan, although he has outstanding talent and high cultivation, and is loved by the master, he is not as smart as others. He is a fool after all, and was played around by the real person. Not only did he not get the position of the head of Kunwu, he even lost his life! The real person has been sitting high in the hall of the heavens for eleven generations, respected as the leader of Kunwu and a giant of the righteous way, but he doesn't feel the slightest bit of guilt or fear?"
