Shock and fear filled the faces of all the disciples, including the ordinary disciples who were watching. As a member of the sword formation, the elite disciples who were lucky enough not to be evaporated by the Qi Sword turned pale and their bodies were shaking uncontrollably.
It turns out that he is already so powerful... Dan Chenzi thought sourly, as if he had a lemon.
The first time I heard about Li Peiyun was when a video of Li Peiyun going to Lianghua Temple and fighting with Jiese was circulated on the Internet. As a duo of idols in the blood world, Dan Chenzi was quite concerned about this beautiful monk who was as famous as himself.
At that time, Li Peiyun had obtained the Sword of Qi, but his overall cultivation was not as good as Jingse, and naturally not as good as Dan Chenzi.
Later, a series of things happened, and Li Peiyun rose rapidly and became more and more powerful. Until now, facing a formation that could easily crush him, he could defeat it with a single sword. This made Dan Chenzi feel very uncomfortable.
"The explosion just now can probably kill me instantly..."
No matter how indifferent a person is, he will inevitably feel sad and sour.
The first one to react was Yin Shen Dan Chenzi. He took the opportunity to launch an attack and completed four kills. While making a sneak attack, he shouted: "Body, what are you doing so stupidly? Counterattack. After the fight, I have to sleep... You This unlucky kid is not the protagonist at first glance... Li Xianyu and Li Peiyun both have swords of Qi, but you only have swords of intention."
"What's the use of the Sword of Intention? It can only be used for sneak attacks."
Do you mean what you say? You yourself are the sword of intention.
Dan Chenzi twitched the corner of his mouth to calm down his emotions. At this time, the sword formation was broken. The disciples around him could no longer resist his attack, and they were immediately beaten to death by him.
"Be careful, they will be resurrected." Li Peiyun reminded.
When he was in the island country, he helped during the subsequent clean-up and saw that after the officials of the Tianjin Shrine suffered fatal injuries, they would be covered in dark blue flesh and blood and turn into evil and crazy monsters.
The dark cyan flesh and blood substance will repair their wounds and enhance their strength.
Dan Chenzi was immediately alert, observing the corpse, waiting for the mutation, but until Li Peiyun fought with Qing Xuzi and others, and until the elite disciples around him attacked him, he did not wait for the corpse to be resurrected.
"Huh?" Li Peiyun also noticed this detail and was a little confused. Did he guess wrong? Isn't it the same person who controls the Shangqing Sect and the ancient demon who controls the Tenjin Shrine
"Is that thing dark blue?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"Um."
Dan Chenzi naturally confirmed that there was enough light at the time and the distance was so close, how could he have seen it wrong.
Li Peiyun thought for a while and threw the doubts away in his head after a few seconds. It was not that he figured it out, but gave up thinking.
As long as it can be solved by force, any doubt is not a doubt, and thinking becomes pale and meaningless.
After the formation collapsed, no one could resist the Half-Step Ji Dao. Li Peiyun chopped off the heads of the two elders like a melon and vegetables. Headmaster Qing Xuzi and the remaining two elders lost the idea of resistance and the will to fight. Flee in despair.
Dan Chenzi pressed his eyebrows and squeezed his mental power again. The invisible mental power burst out and turned into ripples.
The elite disciples who were running seemed to have been beaten with wooden sticks. Their bodies stiffened and they fell down one after another.
On the other side, the two fleeing elders were pierced through the brains by Li Peiyun's sword of intention, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead. He himself intercepted Qing Xuzi at a faster speed.
Qingxuzi's heart sank to the bottom, then despair and fear surged up, and the desire to survive burst out in such a gloomy mood. He turned to look at Danchenzi: "Danchenzi, once you are a teacher, you will always be a father. You can't kill me."
Dan Chenzi was indifferent.
"I am the leader of Shangqing. All the elders have been killed and wounded. If I die again, Shangqing will be doomed. Can you bear to watch the foundation of more than a thousand years be destroyed in one day? Can you watch Shangqing decline from now on and be unable to recover?"
Li Peiyun looked at Dan Chenzi and asked for his opinion.
Dan Chenzi did not answer, but looked at the disciples in the distance and saw their expressions that were either frightened, nervous, or confused.
If the Headmaster dies here, I will not be able to escape the name of killing my master... He stepped forward silently, looked at the elder, and said softly: "Headmaster, do you know that your decision will make the Supreme Court How much danger are we in? That would be the real annihilation of the family."
"What's wrong with seizing the troubled times, grabbing benefits, and rising from there? There are many such examples in Taoist sects. I am purely for the advancement of the Shangqing Sect." After Qing Xuzi finished speaking, his expression suddenly became weak: "Yes, I was wrong. , Danchenzi, I swear to my master that I will change my ways."
"Who controlled you and what was the purpose?" Dan Chenzi asked.
"It's the master. It said it would help the Shangqing sect, help Shangqing defeat Quanzhen, and allow me to secure my position as Taoist. And Shangqing only needs to swear allegiance." Qingxuzi knelt on the ground, lowered his head, no He said willingly: "After the Demon Dao Rebellion, Taoism was overwhelmed by Buddhism. Every Taoism conference is held in Lianghua Temple. The status of the Buddha's head is unshakable, and the status of the Buddha is unshakable. The three pure things are still there." Is there any future for you?"
Lord... Dan Chenzi's eyes were filled with disappointment.
He could not save Qing Xuzi, nor could he save the changes in his personality.
"When did it touch you?" Li Peiyun interrupted.
"After Dan Yunzi came down from the mountain, I saw it in the quiet room one night. The Lord has supreme power, and I had no idea of resistance in front of it, but it did not hurt me, but offered to help the Shangqing Sect." Qing Xuzi didn't seem to feel at all as if he had become a fanatical believer in an evil god.
"What's the purpose?"
"Take charge of the Taoist sect, launch a protest, break away from the Taoist and Buddhist Association, and fight against Baoze." Qing Xuzi replied.
The ordinary disciples were in an uproar.
They heard correctly. The real master and the elders were loyal to the legendary ancient demon, and their purpose was to break away from the Taoist and Buddhist Association and become the enemy of Baoze.
This is clearly treating the Shangqing sect as pawns and cannon fodder, but the real leader would actually agree? Just to secure the position of Taoist Master
The elders were colluding with each other, and no one thought about the future of the Shangqing Sect or the disciples.
In an instant, the disciples felt huge disappointment in their master and their elders.
They don't know about flesh and blood, and they don't understand the changes in the top management.
"I can't save him, but I think it's necessary to keep them. There's no point in killing them." Dan Chenzi raised his head and said.
"It's up to you." Li Peiyun didn't care.
Dan Chenzi nodded and turned to face the ordinary disciples: "Contact Baoze immediately and tell them that the Shangqing Sect has been invaded by ancient demons and ask for help."
"All disciples gather in front of the Patriarch's Hall to check on each other. They must all be present and no one should be left out."
Since it's about the ancient demon, let's hand it over to Bao Ze. Bao Ze may be able to ask more questions. Moreover, although he had no way to save the headmaster, maybe Baoze had special means.
Even if Bao Ze does not have it, the Buddha head may have it.
Killing the elders just now was a last resort and had to be done. Now that they have no ability to resist, Dan Chenzi still wants to try every possible means.
He glanced at Yin Shen, who was connected with his thoughts, and immediately turned into a sword of intention, penetrating Qing Xuzi's sea of consciousness. The master's eyes rolled back and he fell unconscious.
Dan Chenzi shattered Qingxuzi's Dantian with one palm. Worried, he cut off the tendons of his hands and feet, and followed the same method, shattering the Dantian of the other elite disciples who survived. Then he ordered the disciples to get the magic weapon, the demon-binding rope, and put the demon-binding rope in it. The eroded classmates are all tied up.
Li Peiyun and Dan Chenzi stood side by side, watching.
"You know the ancient demons well. Who among the ancient demons is good at deceiving people?" Dan Chenzi asked.
"I don't know, but the one who controls them should be Dad Mie." Li Peiyun said.
Kill dad? !
Dan Chenzi was stunned for a moment.
"Oh, this is what that bitch Li Xianyu said. Last time we had a chat with the Blood Knight, he mentioned it. He said that in addition to the ancient monsters from the island country, those flesh and blood substances were from another ancient monster who had a grudge against him for killing his father. The demon did it.”
Revenge for killing my father...
Dan Chenzi thought of the disappearance of Li Xianyu's adoptive father not long ago, which involved an old case.
The father of Dan Yunzi and Qing Huizi, Tongxuanzi, the genius of the previous generation of Qing Dynasty, was bewitched by the ancient demon and his temperament changed so much that he betrayed his sworn brothers.
The master, like Tong Xuanzi back then, was "bewitched" by that master, and became completely unlike themselves, but they themselves did not feel abnormal.
What a terrifying ability.
"You said that the ancient demon was secretly manipulating the turmoil in Baoze a while ago."
"I didn't get any specific information, but it's very likely." Li Peiyun nodded. He had heard a lot of inside information from Li Xianyu, so it was not difficult to deduce the truth.
"Then do you think that with the help of the Shangqing Sect, we can fight against the Taoist and Buddhist Association? Against Baoze?" Dan Chenzi asked.
"What do you mean?" Li Peiyun, who was too lazy to think, asked subconsciously.
"If what you said is true, and the Master didn't lie, then the Shangqing Sect is no exception." Dan Chenzi rubbed his brows. He had no interest in talking and stopped talking.
His eyes swept over the collapsed houses and the messy scene. One-third of the huge Shangqing Taoist Temple was destroyed in this battle.
The buildings that the disciples carefully maintained on weekdays, the buildings that symbolized the thousand-year history of the Qing Dynasty, were destroyed in one day.
The temple can be rebuilt after it collapsed, but what really hurt the Shangqing Sect's vitality was the loss of all the senior officials and most of the elite disciples overnight.
They are the foundation of the Shangqing Sect, the cornerstone for the Shangqing Sect to be respected and to establish its status as a major sect.
After tonight, the Shangqing Sect may be weakened by this, and its status in the Taoist sect will plummet.
He stood in the dilapidated and messy ruins, looking at the faces of his disciples who were either depressed, worried or blank. A depressed atmosphere brewed and spread among them.
Dan Chenzi, who didn't like to deal with affairs and stayed outside the circle of power, felt tremendous pressure for the first time in his life.
Two words came to his mind: responsibility!
Dan Chenzi closed his eyes, and distant memories came flooding back. When he was nine years old, he became a disciple and lived a carefree life. What I have to do every day is to practice and clean. After gradually becoming famous, I don't even have to do the annoying menial work anymore.
Eat, sleep and watch the scenery, stealing half a day's leisure.
In fact, he never grew up, just like those giant babies who still live with their parents after they become adults and require their parents to take care of their lives. Under the guise of being indifferent and non-competitive, I enjoy a life with no pressure and no need to work.
Enjoying what the sect provides without having to bear any responsibilities.
Giant babies will eventually grow up and their parents will eventually leave.
The cool wind brought in the night, with the fragrance of flowers and plants, and the power to soothe the restless hearts, dispelling everyone's depressed, gloomy, disappointed, and fearful emotions.
It gives people the feeling of sitting quietly in the deep mountains, surrounded by tranquility.
The disciples couldn't help but stop what they were doing and looked at Senior Brother Dan Chenzi who was standing quietly with his eyes closed. Looking at his back, everyone's hearts calmed down, as if they had found their backbone.
Li Peiyun stared at him closely and raised his eyebrows.
Half a step to the extreme!
I was supposed to write this chapter tomorrow. When I first heard the bad news about a colleague, I was scared and didn’t dare to stay up late... But my obsessive-compulsive disorder made me finish writing this chapter, thinking that tomorrow is Sunday and I can sleep in. To be honest, staying up late for a long time does put a huge load on the body, which I can feel myself. Hey, coding is a job with many occupational diseases, such as cervical spine, tendonitis, waist, eyes...etc. It is not uncommon for people to die suddenly after staying up late for a long time.
The mood is very complicated.
