Chapter 199: One Sword Shocks the Heroes
Outside Xiao Changqing's cave.
At this time, there were dozens of people gathered.
The weakest of these people were all fake dan real people, and more than half of them were cultivators who had formed golden dan.
All the real people living in the third-level cave near the main peak of Liyang Immortal City came here at the first time.
The strong and terrifying evil power just now, even if it was just a quick glance and disappeared quickly, made everyone terrified.
"Old City Lord, what happened to Daoist Xiao just now? What went wrong with his cultivation?"
"Could Daoist Xiao be an evil cultivator? Or is he cultivating some evil magical power and embarking on an evil path? The aura just now is not like that possessed by righteous cultivators like me."
"No, no, no, it's not an evil cultivator, but the aura of evil spirits! Although I have never encountered evil spirits myself, I accidentally saw a cultivator who was possessed by evil spirits many years ago. The aura on his body is exactly the same as the aura transmitted from Daoist Xiao's cave just now!"
"The most important thing is why the aura emitted from Daoist Xiao's cave just now is so strong? Even though I am far away, I am still shocked! Even when the old city lord was here, the aura was not so terrible!"
"Yes, yes! My apprentice, who is in the middle stage of the foundation building realm, was seriously injured by the terrible pressure just now!"
Most of the real people present didn't know what was going on.
A few months ago, Xiao Changqing and his two friends explored the ruins, but there was no publicity.
Later, the evil spirit was accidentally solved by Xiao Changqing, so there was no need to spread the news.
"Everyone, don't go in!"
Gu Zongyuan's face was full of caution and regret, and he immediately ordered his men to activate the mountain protection formation.
Of course, he knew what the evil spirit power was, but he didn't expect that Xiao Changqing had said a few months ago that he had eliminated the evil spirit, and he had personally checked and observed that there was no trace of the evil spirit on Xiao Changqing's body. How could it suddenly break out after a few months?
Gu Zongyuan did not doubt that Xiao Changqing was lying to him at the beginning.
In his opinion, the most likely possibility was that Xiao Changqing was also deceived by the evil spirit.
He thought he had eliminated the evil spirit, but in fact, the evil spirit was secretly repairing the plank road and was not really killed, but hiding on his body!
"I was careless! I should have been more cautious and observed more carefully at that time!"
Gu Zongyuan didn't know what to do for a while.
If he enters the cave and sees that Xiao Changqing is really possessed by the evil spirit, or if the evil spirit in white is revived, what should he do?
The situation will be worse than a few months ago!
Because now we are in Liyang Immortal City. If the evil spirit breaks out, how many people will suffer?
Although this is the main peak of Liyang Mountain Range, with the suppression of the mountain protection formation, Gu Zongyuan does not have much confidence that he can subdue the evil spirit in white.
The strongest defense of the mountain protection formation in Liyang Mountain Range is only the top of the third level. If it does not reach the fourth level, it cannot withstand the attack of the Yuanying Zhenjun level.
And the aura of the evil spirit in white has reached the level of Yuanying Zhenjun!
What's more, the evil spirit in white is still in the mountain protection formation. He wants to kill it instead of defending it!
Gu Zongyuan took a deep breath and temporarily put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind.
In any case, as the lord of Liyang Immortal City, he has to figure out what is going on.
If the evil female demon in white really reappears, even if he cannot kill her, he must use the mountain protection formation to delay it for as long as possible, so as to buy time for countless cultivators in Liyang Immortal City to evacuate.
Just as Gu Zongyuan was about to forcibly break the defensive formation of Xiao Changqing's cave and check the situation inside.
The formation of the cave was withdrawn on its own initiative.
Xiao Changqing stepped out, followed by the Lin sisters who were obviously injured in their souls.
"Such a large formation?"
Xiao Changqing looked at the dozen or so real people outside, and felt a little headache. He said embarrassedly: "Don't be ashamed, everyone. I just had a little problem in my cultivation, which affected all of you Taoist friends. I am really sorry. I apologize to you. If any of you suffer losses because of my mistake just now, Xiao will bear the responsibility."
The evil power just now exploded, although it was only a short moment, but it was comparable to the pressure of the True Lord Yuanying. The clues can be seen from the fact that the Lin sisters fell into a coma directly.
It is estimated that all the cultivators at the main peak of the Liyang Mountain Range, whose cultivation is below the Jindan stage, will suffer certain injuries.
This is the result of his curiosity and negligence, and Xiao Changqing is a little embarrassed.
Just as Xiao Changqing was about to step out of the cave and explain in detail to everyone, the mountain protection formation at the main peak of Liyang Mountain was immediately activated, and the powerful pressure force immediately formed an invisible cage around him.
Xiao Changqing looked at this scene helplessly.
He knew that he was suspected again.
It is also understandable. If it were him, he would also be suspicious, and even more suspicious.
"Brother Xiao, please forgive me. For the safety of the entire Liyang Immortal City, I have to let you stay in the cave for a while." Gu Zongyuan said with a stiff face.
Many fake Dan and Jindan real people who didn't know the inside story looked at this scene in shock.
Gu City Lord actually suppressed Xiao Daoyou with a mountain protection formation?
Aren't the two of them close friends? Wasn't the ancient city lord even willing to let Xiao Daoyou be the deputy city lord?
As a result, just because Xiao Daoyou made a few mistakes in his cultivation, he used Liyang Immortal City's strongest trump card and imprisoned him with the mountain protection formation?
The Lin sisters were surprised and angry when they saw this.
The younger sister Lin Zixi couldn't help but speak up: "Master, why is the ancient city master like this? What right does he have to restrict your actions and prevent us from leaving the cave? But they begged you not to leave and to live in Liyang Immortal City for thirty years."
The Lin sisters also knew about the agreement between Xiao Changqing and Liyang Immortal.
Today, their master accidentally went wrong in his cultivation and caused some damage. So the ancient city master turned his face and refused to recognize him?
They were also accidentally injured by the breath leaked by the master today, so they didn't have any dissatisfaction.
Xiao Changqing waved his hand. The Lin sisters and other real people didn't know what was going on, so it was normal to be confused.
"Brother Gu, what do you want to do to trust me?" Xiao Changqing felt the power of the formation around him and asked.
Gu Zongyuan said with a serious face, "Brother Xiao, you shouldn't ask me this question, but you. How can I believe you?"
Xiao Changqing nodded and said, "I understand. I really have to do something to make you believe me, Brother Gu."
Then he continued to walk out of the cave, and when he came to the confinement barrier set up by Gu Zongyuan using the power of the formation, he shot out a magic power and felt the power of this confinement.
It was very solid, almost reaching the limit of the third level.
Generally, cultivators in the late stage of Jindan can hardly break this confinement power.
Perhaps only the top-level masters like Li Yang Zhenren who have perfected Jindan can break the confinement.
If it were in the past, Xiao Changqing could not break the confinement of this mountain protection formation even if he tried his best.
But now it is different. Although the clone cannot drill deep into the space and can never get in touch with the plane of the evil base camp, his power to control space is real.
Even if it is just the most crude use, a very small part of the space force, but there is an essential difference.
Even if it is just a flutter in the space, most Yuanying Zhenjun cannot do it.
So.
This trace of space force, facing this third-level formation, has a dimensionality reduction attack.
After Xiao Changqing felt the confinement power of the mountain protection formation, he looked up at the sky with a smile and said, "Brother Gu, watch out..."
In Gu Zongyuan's puzzled eyes, Xiao Changqing jumped up and passed through the confinement of the mountain protection formation in an incredible way without any hindrance.
The barrier that can block the late Jindan cultivators seems to have no effect on Xiao Changqing, and he treats it as nothing!
Gu Zongyuan's eyes widened, and he was inexplicably terrified in his heart. He subconsciously manipulated the mountain protection formation to draw all the power to chase and intercept Xiao Changqing layer by layer.
Unfortunately, it was still useless.
No matter how overbearing and powerful the mountain protection formation was, it was like a feather falling on Xiao Changqing, without any obstruction.
"This is..."
Gu Zongyuan had no time to think about why it was so strange. Xiao Changqing had completely passed through the restriction, and his figure soared into the air and came to Gu Zongyuan and many real people.
Then the Jade Qingming Light Sword emerged. After Xiao Changqing urged the second clone to form the Dan magic power, the starry sky accompanied by countless sword qi emerged, densely packed, like a cloud of sword qi pressing on everyone's head!
For a moment, everyone dared not move anymore, standing there like a wooden chicken, looking at Xiao Changqing with a slightly dull look.
Even Su Wushuang, who was in the middle stage of the Dan, suddenly tightened his eyes, and felt a heavy sense of oppression in his chest.
The power of Xiao Changqing's sword was much stronger than ten years ago!
If ten years ago, Xiao Changqing's sword qi could only dominate the middle stage of the Dan, slightly better than her, but not reach the level of the late stage of the Dan.
Even though the sword today was ready to go and didn't really fall, it still gave Su Wushuang a strong pressure.
This is definitely the power of the late Jindan level!
Among the people present, Su Wushuang is the strongest in cultivation. She feels the same, let alone others.
Even if Gu Zongyuan can control the mountain protection formation, it will not be of much use.
Because Xiao Changqing is in the mountain protection formation, the power he mobilized cannot imprison Xiao Changqing. If he wants to fight, he can only rely on his own strength.
His strength is naturally not worth mentioning in this sword energy sky.
"If I am really an evil spirit and want to kill people, it should be easy at this time, right?"
Xiao Changqing looked at Gu Zongyuan and Su Wushuang. Only these two people understood what he said.
Seeing the two of them nodding with their eyes wide open, expressing their approval of his words, Xiao Changqing smiled, dispersed the sword energy in the sky, and put away the Yuqingmingguang sword.
His purpose for doing this is very simple, to show that he has the ability to kill people.
If he was really possessed by an evil spirit, or was affected by it and lost his mind, no one in Liyang Immortal City could stop him.
Even this group of Jindan and Jiadan Zhenren, or the mountain protection formation on the main peak of Liyang Mountain Range, were useless to him.
But he did not kill people when he had the strength to break through everything, which means that there was no evil spirit in him.
The evil power that just erupted was just an accident, and something went wrong in his practice.
"Huh..."
Gu Zongyuan heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Xiao Changqing with a slightly embarrassed look in his eyes, but he soon scratched his head and became happy, and explained shamelessly: "Brother Xiao, you should be a big man who does not remember the villain's fault, right? Just now you burst out with a terrifying evil power, which is like a replay of the scene a few months ago, and this place is still in Liyang Xiancheng. I have to be cautious and responsible for the safety of the lives of the cultivators in the entire Xiancheng. After all, if there is such a terrifying evil in Liyang Xiancheng, the consequences are simply unimaginable..."
Xiao Changqing waved his hand: "Okay, I understand."
Su Wushuang didn't know what she was thinking. Although her face was still cold, she looked at Xiao Changqing with many strange eyes, and said: "Should I congratulate Xiao Daoyou for a blessing in disguise? Because of killing the evil, my strength has improved a lot..."
This woman is really smart and vicious.
Through the cause and effect connection, she inferred that she had benefited a lot in the process of killing the evil.
It is indeed so.
Putting aside the fact that he almost strayed into the evil spirit interface just now, his gains this time were indeed enormous.
In addition to mastering a trace of spatial power, which allowed him to protect himself when facing many Yuanying Zhenjun, the mana of his second clone was far greater than the mana stored and converted by the Changsheng Stone before!
The mana strength of the clone has reached the late Jindan cultivator!
So just now, he used the mana of the clone to activate the Star-Picking Sword Art, and the power of the sword energy increased sharply compared to the original, far better than before.
In fact, he had restrained some of what he showed to everyone, and did not go all out.
Now he can be said to be truly invincible in the Yuanying realm!
If Li Yang Zhenren returns and fails to break through the Yuanying, then Xiao Changqing can call him "Xiao Li"!
Not to mention, there is also the top magical power of Nightmare Reincarnation, which can travel through the heavens and the worlds, but Xiao Changqing cannot use it now.
"In another two years, when I have formed a golden elixir, I will no longer be afraid of anyone or any sect in the Great Yu Immortal Cultivation World."
"By then, no matter how the situation changes, no matter how treacherous it is, I can sit back and watch the clouds rise and fall, and remain calm in the face of changes..."
...
As Xiao Changqing broke the formation and shocked the heroes with a sword, no one complained about the evil and ominous power that Xiao Changqing had just released.
On the contrary, almost all of these fake elixir and elixir-forming real people congratulated Xiao Changqing on his breakthrough in cultivation and his great magical powers after Su Wushuang spoke.
As for the disciples, concubines, and juniors whose spirits were injured in their own caves, they did not mention them at all, and did not need Xiao Changqing to compensate or treat them. They treated it as nothing and solved it themselves.
It was also after this incident that a message began to circulate among the high-level officials of Liyang Immortal City that the person who replaced Liyang Zhenren's position on the surface was his disciple Gu Zongyuan.
But in fact, the person who replaced Liyang Zhenren's position and who must not be provoked and had the most say was Xiao Changqing. (End of this chapter)
