Shang Xiuchun, who was born as a casual cultivator, is the lord of Hongdu City.
The conflict between the Sword Tower and the Ghost Sacrifice Sect took place in the north of Shattered Land. As the city lord, it was impossible for him not to know about it.
In fact, he had been paying close attention since Guiji Zong started chasing Dong Tianze.
But he kept pretending not to know.
It is not easy for Shang Xiuchun, who has the cultivation base of the middle stage of the Immortal Realm, to have his current realm and status. Both the Ghost Sacrifice Sect and the Sword Tower are sects and forces that he absolutely cannot afford to offend.
Independent cultivators like him are used to surviving in the cracks between large sects and have long been accustomed to playing dead.
If possible, he would like to be a coward for the rest of his life and continue to pretend that he knows nothing.
However, the space teleportation array set up in his city suddenly collapsed and shattered.
The destruction of the space teleportation array meant that no strong person from either the Sword Tower or the Ghost Sacrifice Sect could rely on the array to arrive in an instant.
"I can't pretend anymore."
Shang Xiuchun in the City Lord's Mansion knew that the most urgent task was not to investigate how the teleportation array was shattered, but to make a decision immediately.
"Sword Tower, Ghost Sacrifice Sect."
"The realm of Nirvana is huge and strong, the realm of immortality is constant."
After pondering for a moment, Shang Xiuchun quickly sent a message to Jianlou, informing them that the space teleportation array in Hongdu City had been secretly destroyed.
The reason why he didn't inform Guijizong immediately was because he felt that Xing Heng would definitely not be able to suffer a big loss, and also... Jianlou was the weaker party between the two.
Generally speaking, the weaker party is unlikely to rashly challenge the stronger party.
After all, there are two true gods in the Guiji Sect.
…
Cloud wasteland.
The four Immortal Realm elders who were sitting quietly beside the space teleportation array received Xu Wei's message almost at the same time, and learned that the space teleportation array in Hongdu City had been damaged by humans.
Jiang Ran, who had not been very fond of Liu Junhong and the others before, was the first to stand up and said decisively: "Start the sword boat!"
The other three elders said nothing, but turned into three sword lights and shot straight towards the place where the sword boat was docked.
A few seconds later, a sword boat carrying four immortal realms flew away from the rocky ground.
"Over at Hongdu Shattered Land, the formation that allowed us to pass through was destroyed!"
Only after the sword boat sailed away did Qi Qingsong understand what had happened through the sword command in his hand.
Looking at Li Yuqing who was about to leave with his sword on his chest, he hurriedly stopped her: "The Rocky Broken Land also needs someone to guard it! Elder Mu alone may not be able to protect the three great cave secret realms! Also, if the four of them go to Hongdu and can't help Pang Jian escape danger, it will be useless for you to go there!"
"The Ghost Ji Sect doesn't have any deep hatred with our Sword Tower. No matter how rampant Xing Heng is, he will never dare to do anything to Pang Jian!" Zhuang Yuyan interrupted.
After the two said this, Li Yuqing felt relieved and said, "The one who destroyed the space teleportation array clearly had bad intentions and wanted to see a fierce conflict between you and the Ghost Sacrifice Sect."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine once those four guys get over there," Zhuang Yuxin consoled.
…
North of Hongdu.
Above the lake.
Deep within the dense green ghost fire, a fierce "black ghost" a hundred feet tall, in the form of Xing Heng, was tearing at the spiritual energy shield.
The heavy snow that covered the sky exploded and dissipated with a "puff" sound in the burning of the eerie and evil blue ghost fire.
In the void where the ghost fire was surging, beams of icy and phantom lightning were faintly visible, as if they would only grow when the snow was extinguished.
The phantom electricity was very rare at first, and there was no explosive thunder power released, nor any amazing Taoist principles hidden.
But gradually, those shapeless icy lightning began to gather more and more.
Only when the snowflakes stopped falling did the icy lightning become dense and dense, wandering in the depths of the Qingming ghost fire like a giant python and dragon, slowly condensing into a thunder seal that had never appeared in the purgatory world.
Suddenly, thunder roared in the ghost fire!
“Boom!”
The icy and sparkling lightning either turned into thick and broad lightning of silver, gold, scarlet, black, or azure blue, or condensed into thunder vortexes and thunder balls.
Thunder magic is the nemesis of ghosts, and it has been like this since ancient times.
And this piece of land, accompanied by extremely cold snowflakes, and with thunder and lightning that somehow gathered more and more, concealed a tremendous holy power that could annihilate all the evil spirits in the world!
It belongs to Lei Gong who created the God of Thunder's Palace, and is the Taoist method used by Lei Gong to command all the thunder gods in the heavens.
This unfathomable Thunder Seal was stored in the Thunder Pool in the broken ground of Pang Jian's Dantian. He had carefully comprehended it for many years before he had gained a little understanding of it.
But just this little bit of knowledge, just this shallow understanding, is enough for him to annihilate the Qingming Ghost Fire refined by "Xuan Gui"!
There is no other reason, it's purely the restraint of the Tao!
The upright Lei Gong has a temper as violent as fire. He hates all those who play with the souls of all living beings like ghosts and ghost sacrifices.
His thunder magic is specifically designed to destroy this kind of evil magic!
"The Thunder God's righteous law kills evil spirits and annihilates the demons. It is truly the nemesis of evil spirits."
Pang Jian had an epiphany.
His majestic golden soul sank from his soul sea to the broken ground of his dantian, and landed in the thunder pool above the thunder vortex.
His wisps of divine consciousness escaped into the profound lightning patterns in the thunder pool, as if he was swimming among the stars that were destroyed by thunder and lightning, watching the aliens defined as demons by the God of Thunder turned to ashes.
He understood the ways of Lei Gong and realized Lei Gong's determination, as if he had transformed himself into Lei Gong!
He saw the strange gods believed in by the ghosts and the evil gods worshipped by the demons, who instructed their followers to do evil in different galaxies. He saw prosperous ancient civilizations being destroyed.
The dead, their souls devoured by ghosts.
Evil is the food of the demons, which they use to increase their own power.
The extremely domineering Lei Gong, who created the God of Thunder's Court in an attempt to rule all the thunder gods in the heavens, hated the actions of the ghost clan and the demon clan.
He had made great ambitions.
He vowed to eradicate the evil in the world. He wanted to exterminate the ghosts and alien gods and kill all the demons!
His great ideals and the grand wishes he expressed were integrated into the Thunder God's Court he created and were imprinted in this pool of thunder.
It has gone through tens of millions of years without any decay!
Pang Jian sat in the thunder pool with his soul, and connected the thunder patterns with his divine consciousness. For the first time, he deeply felt the paranoid ambition of Lei Gong.
Wanting to exterminate all demons, including their believers, is another extreme idea.
How vast is the world beyond? How numerous are the ghosts and demons
Do we really have to exterminate all ghosts and demons, causing these two ancient intelligent races to disappear forever in the galaxy
Isn’t Lei Gong another kind of demon
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Pang Jian regained consciousness with a start and pulled his consciousness out of the thunder pool.
He suddenly felt a sense of fear.
For a moment, he felt that his will was infected by the great ambition left by Lei Gong in the Thunder Pool, and he felt a determination to follow Lei Gong's thinking and eliminate all the demons in the world.
With that kind of attitude, he would surely make rapid progress in his understanding of the way of thunder, but he would become another Thunder God.
Become another thunder demon!
"Only by facing the devil, facing the original devil, and practicing the Origin Fusion Devil Technique, can you resist the mental toxins of Thunder God. Pang Jian, the devil is unpredictable, and not all devils are promoted from devil warriors."
"All living beings can become demons, and all can become demon gods!"
"An extreme thought, a thought that goes against one's heart, takes root and sprouts and continues to grow. When it condenses into a magic fruit, it becomes a demon!"
"You have seen the original demon, and you have not been infected by the original demon. Only then can you resist the infection of the Thunder God!"
"… "
The source demon, who was in the image of a beautiful prince of the ghost demon clan, made a magic sound that enlightened Pang Jian and gave him a clearer understanding of the so-called celestial demon and demon god.
The God of Thunder, who is bent on eliminating ghosts, demons and destroying galaxies, has unknowingly become a demon.
And He didn't know it yet.
Pang Jian woke up, but he did not get too deeply involved, nor did he go deeper into the evil path he had laid.
However, this alone is enough to extinguish the Qingming Ghost Fire.
It is also enough to kill the "Xuan Ghost" that has engulfed thousands of evil spirits and ghosts!
He held the sword and locked onto the "Xuan Gui" which was a hundred feet tall with his soul. He saw thick thunder and lightning hanging in the air, and huge thunder balls immediately enveloped the "Xuan Gui".
The long strips of lightning are his sword light, and so are the thunder balls and thunder vortices!
A sea of thunder formed around him, and the Source Demon Sword turned into the Thunder Sword. He was determined to kill the "Xuan Gui" in his heart, and the thunder and lightning killed the "Xuan Gui" on the spot!
At the moment when "Xuan Gui" died and disappeared, his understanding of Thunder Road suddenly took a big step forward.
"Xing Heng, take the sword!"
He slashed his sword through the air into the distance.
“Wow!”
A sword light with countless lightning twisting inside, revealing extreme sharpness and coldness, slashed towards the void where Xing Heng was, causing the gray stone platform to collapse first.
When the platform shattered, the four witch and ghost flags below were pulled up by Xing Heng and transformed into four heavens and earth to block Pang Jian's sword power.
“Boom!”
After a muffled sound, another blue-black sky replaced the deep space.
In the center of the demonic energy that was as thick as water, six demonic caves suddenly appeared.
The floating corpses and flesh, the sea of blood burning with endless flames, the world where demon generals and witches coexisted, and the vision of countless believers cheering for the great demon god, all turned into a strong spiritual evil force, washing over Xing Heng's mind and soul.
This great master of the Ghost Sacrifice Sect actually had a moment of loss and depravity.
Just a moment is enough.
In the depths of the dark blue of the "Heaven-Covering Demonic Array", a sword light refined by ice and thunder broke through the thick and deep sky and pierced through Xing Heng's brows.
"hiss!"
There was no earth-shattering noise, nor any piercing scream, and Xing Heng's soul and sea of consciousness instantly turned to ashes.
In the realm of Nirvana, it is so easy to cross the border and kill those in the realm of Immortality.
The northern part of the Broken Land suddenly became quiet and silent.
Those independent cultivators who came to watch, Qian Bo and Yang Ronghao at the bottom of the lake, and the calm Dong Tianze, were also staring at the void above their heads in astonishment.
Unlike others, Dong Tianze has always believed that Pang Jian has the ability to kill Xing Heng.
What really surprised him was that Pang Jian clearly didn't have to do this and clearly could have left room for maneuver.
He was alone and had no ties, no relatives, and no sect, so he could naturally do whatever he wanted.
Behind Pang Jian is the Sword Tower, Pang Lin whom he needs to protect, and a group of close friends and relatives.
How dare he kill an immortal guardian of the Guiji Sect when the Sword Tower was weak
