Li Tianfeng.
Pang Jian in the cave, ignoring the two urgently needed spiritual manuals, was still trying to control the Source Demon Sword.
But there was no result.
The Source Demon is unruly, but if you really get rid of this sword spirit, the Source Demon Sword will be useless.
If the source demon is not eliminated, no matter how much of its evil thoughts and consciousness are wiped out, it will always return to its original state after a while.
"The demons from the outer realms are the most difficult to eradicate."
Pang Jian sighed lightly, holding the sword order and looking through the sword light symbols to check the strange and interesting things that have happened in various worlds recently.
The attention of all major forces has been focused on the third realm recently.
The three major divine kingdoms in the East each sent out a divine general to garrison in the two continents of Qiantian and Xuanyou, and were fully prepared to fight.
The filthy alien power rising from the fourth realm should escape into the thick lead cloud below the third realm in about a month or two.
Then, a war will inevitably occur.
In the first world, the Guiji Sect and Jiuli Sect in Nanyuan, the Pure Land and Tianbao Sect in Xirang, the Desolate Realm and Ancient Law Sect in Beixu, would occasionally spread news about when and who was arranged to go down to the world.
Through a small sword order, Pang Jian had a clearer understanding of the major forces in the first and second realms of Purgatory World, as well as some key figures.
He also learned that his master, whose true form he had never seen, was currently in the Jiuli Sect in Nanyuan, discussing important matters with the true gods from all sides.
The convener was the highly respected leader of the Jiuli Sect, King Li, who was an ancient true god.
In the East, the four divine kings of the three major divine kingdoms also came to the Jiuli Sect in Nanyuan.
According to the information obtained by Jianlou, those true gods, feeling the terror from outside the sky, discussed not only how to deal with the invasion of alien races from the lower world, but also how to break the external restrictions imposed by the alien gods.
"Of the four great divine kings of the East, the Ghost Sacrifice Sect of Nanyuan has two true gods, one of whom is called Ghost Mother. The Jiuli Sect has only one true god, and that is the King of Li."
"In the Western Pure Land, there are two true gods, one from the Tianbao Sect."
"Beixu, there are also two true gods in the desolate land, one of whom is from the Ancient Law Sect."
"In addition, there are two other independent cultivators who are also true gods and have not established any sects."
"Not counting the old Thunder Dragon in the Holy Spirit Continent, the Black Turtle and the Yuan Snake whose life or death is unknown. On the human side of Purgatory, there are a total of fifteen True Gods."
"Compared to the fifth realm, the number of level 10 bloodlines from each of the seven continents is more than double."
“No wonder, the subject of their discussion is mainly about the Outer Realm Gods outside the sky.”
Pang Jian pondered secretly.
After an unknown amount of time, someone knocked on the door.
"The four elders summon you."
The cold voice of Senior Brother Chen Weihuang sounded.
Pang Jian was stunned for a moment, and when he pushed the door open, he saw Chen Weihuang standing alone, and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Chen Weihuang glanced at the half-broken sword hanging on his waist and said, "Because of the Origin Demon Sword."
"Source Demon Sword?"
"You'll know when you go there."
"oh."
A moment later, in the Mojian Peak, which was open to all the mountaintops, there was a gloomy hall without a dome.
When Pang Jian entered, he saw that in addition to the four elders Liu Junhong, Xu Wei, Guanghe and Wang Ce, there were also three unfamiliar old men and a middle-aged man who was as gentle as jade.
Behind the man stood Su Li, whom he had met once in Zuiyun Tower.
"Pang Jian, this is Elder Cai Xin, he is Elder Lu Xiaolin, and this is Elder Shi Bingyun." Xu Wei took the initiative to introduce them. This time, she had no smile on her face and said coldly, "Except for the Great Elder, all the elders of the Sword Tower are here."
"I can represent my master."
The handsome man, who had an extraordinary aura and was not much younger than the elders, smiled and said, "I am Zhou Wenhao."
Pang Jian bowed perfunctorily.
Through the communication with Qi Qingsong and Zhuang Yuyan in recent time, as well as the information revealed in the sword order, he knew that the three elders Cai Xin, Lu Xiaolin and Shi Bingyun were once the subordinates of the great elder Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran was not in the Sword Tower, but the three elders and the people around them were all Jiang Ran's spies.
"Recently..."
The first person to speak was Zhou Wenhao.
He coughed lightly and said seriously, "There was an outer disciple who couldn't control the evil thoughts in his heart and did some shameful things to other people's women."
"There were outer disciples who were enemies with each other. They ignored the rules of the sect and suddenly fought to the death in the town below."
"There are also many people who are restless during their cultivation, which leads to failure in their attempts to reach a certain level."
"Some people even committed suicide by taking poison because they recalled some sad things."
"All kinds of messy things have been happening one after another recently, and they are getting worse and worse."
As he spoke, he looked at the Origin Demon Sword that Pang Jian hung on his waist and said, "Brother Pang, if you can't control the Origin Demon Sword, you can either put it in the Sword Tower and let the three magic swords continue to suppress it."
"Or, you can take the Origin Demon Sword and leave, find a deserted place, and come back after refining the Origin Demon Sword."
He pointed the source of all problems to the Source Demon Sword.
Pang Jian suddenly realized.
All the elders and Zhou Wenhao gathered together, intending to bring him to justice.
"It may not be the source demon's fault." Wang Ce frowned.
"The source demon draws power from the evil thoughts of nearby beings, and can also infinitely magnify the evil side of people's hearts!"
"Magnifying the evil side of people's hearts and instigating others to take action to commit evil will increase the power it can gather!"
"Needless to say, Junior Brother Pang must have severely damaged the Origin Demon Sword when he was refining it, forcing it to instigate people to do evil, which led to the recent series of troubles in the Sword Tower!"
As a junior, Zhou Wenhao even dared to contradict the elder Wang Ce directly, which showed his disrespect for his elders.
"Pang Jian, this matter..." Guanghe said in a deep voice: "Do you know about it?"
“I don’t know.”
While denying it, Pang Jian let a wisp of his spiritual consciousness escape into the sword.
He saw at a glance that the source demon's clusters of evil thoughts were changing in a myriad of ways, and indeed, it had recovered all its strength.
"It's not me!"
The source demon who heard everyone talking saw a ray of Pang Jian's golden consciousness breaking in. Fearing that Pang Jian would kill another wave of its evil thoughts, it denied it at first, and then said, "Not all of them!"
"I just absorbed the evil thoughts and demonic ideas that grew in the hearts of those people, but I didn't instigate them to do evil!"
"Of course! I have the ability to do so and I want to do so, but the old man in the Sword Tower is still here, so I dare not."
"Don't blame me for everything!"
The source demon's thoughts emerged from clusters of demonic clouds and demonic flames.
Pang Jian, who also felt that he was framed, said calmly: "It wasn't it."
"Junior Brother Pang, we are very clear about its ability. Even if you don't know, you can't say it's not it." Zhou Wenhao sighed and said earnestly: "I can tell you about the strangeness of the source demon. Junior Brother Pang, believe me, put this sword back to the sword tower as soon as possible, you don't have the ability to hold it."
Su Li laughed and said, "The owner of the building personally taught me a magic sword from the Magic Sword Sect, but I don't have the ability to control it. Tsk tsk. Since I don't have that ability and can't bear the responsibility, it's better to give it up as soon as possible."
There is something else behind his words.
"Yes, every sword and every position requires responsibility." Elder Cai Xin said.
"If that doesn't work, you'd better take the sword and leave the sword tower first. It won't be too late to come back after you tame the source demon." Elder Lu Xiaolin interrupted.
Pang Jian, who had only entered the Sword Tower for a few days and had not yet obtained the Great Fortune Holy Body and the latter part of the Hutian Yangqi Jue, was being squeezed out by several people because of the Source Demon Sword. Now he was about to be driven away.
As Li Zhaotian's direct disciple, if he was really forced to leave in disgrace, he would probably become a laughing stock.
From now on, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stand in the Sword Tower.
"I can't prove that it didn't do it. How can you prove that it was the one who instigated people to do evil?" Pang Jian questioned Zhou Wenhao.
Zhou Wenhao clapped his hands: "Baichuan!"
A pale-faced disciple in blue came in. He bowed to Lu Xiaolin and called him Master, then said, "When I was comprehending the subtleties of the Hutian Yangqi Jue, I felt the infestation of evil thoughts. They were clusters of evil thoughts transformed from sword intent, including a charming and sexy woman, a magic flower that would devour anyone it chose, and..."
What he described was exactly the same as when the source demon appeared in his sea of consciousness when Pang Jian touched the hilt of the sword.
Even Pang Jian couldn't help but suspect that this guy named Baichuan was indeed infected by the source demon, which was why he became like this.
"It has nothing to do with me. The evil thoughts in his heart are to destroy the two books so that you will never get the complete version. He curses you to death, and he also wants the owner of the Sword Tower to die. There is someone behind him directing him." Yuan Mo defended himself in the sword.
"Pang Jian, do you have anything else to say?" Su Li sneered.
Lu Xiaolin said with a cold face: "My disciple was almost killed because of the infection of the source demon. If Pang Jian is left in the sword tower, with the source demon secretly causing trouble, tragedies will continue to happen!"
Cai Xin nodded and said, "He really can't stay!"
Several people who had already made a careful plan pointed their spearheads at Pang Jian, trying to force him to leave the Sword Tower.
The four elders were also having a headache. They wanted to protect Pang Jian but had no suitable reason.
"What's your name?"
Pang Jian looked at Bai Chuan knowingly asking.
"Shirakawa."
"Shirakawa!"
Pang Jian suddenly shouted.
Baichuan looked over in surprise.
"call out!"
A flash of golden light passed by, escaping from Pang Jian's brow into Baichuan's sea of consciousness, firmly locking onto Baichuan's panicked soul.
"You cannot search the souls of fellow disciples!"
"Pang Jian! This is against the rules!"
"In the Sword Tower, you are not allowed to use soul-searching techniques to treat disciples directly!"
All the elders were screaming.
Amid the screams, the golden light quickly returned. Pang Jian looked calm and said, "No one told me that we have this rule in the Sword Tower. I've made a note of it this time and it won't happen again."
After a pause, he looked at Su Li and said, "I just saw that it was this Senior Brother Su who instructed Bai Chuan to pretend to be possessed and destroy the Great Fortune Saint Body and the lower part of the Hutian Yangqi Jue."
"In Baichuan's soul memory, there are other scenes, all of which are Brother Su ordering people to do evil."
"If the elders don't believe me, use the soul-searching technique to look through Bai Chuan's memories."
