Chapter 45: Daoist Zi (1)
Hanba was not in the five elements and jumped out of the three realms.
It was a terrifying zombie that only existed in legends!
This kind of ghost that was originally from the Great Yin actually turned from extreme Yin to Yang after evolving to the peak, producing scorching heat energy!
Hanba walked like the wind. Wherever he went, the land was barren for thousands of miles and the drought never stopped.
If all kinds of ghosts and demons were ranked in terms of disaster level, Hanba would definitely be ranked in the top three.
For some unknown reason, the Beiling King actually spent a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to forcefully refine a drought demon!
The moment Hanba was born, Su Mu was so shocked that he did not know what to say.
It turned out that this famine, which had caused millions of corpses and lasted for ten years, was actually created by the Lord of Jizhou!
A few short sentences in the history books hid such a cruel and crazy truth!
However, things had developed to this point, and there was another turning point.
After successfully refining the drought demon, the Beiling King’s pale face revealed a hint of ecstasy.
Most of the people around him also revealed smiles of success.
However, there was only one exception.
It was a short-bearded Daoist wearing a purple Daoist robe.
The moment Hanba was born, when everyone was still immersed in joy.
His expression was gloomy as he suddenly exploded!
“Quick!”
The purple-robed Daoist conjured a spell with his hands and shouted loudly. Four flying swords flew out from his sleeves and pointed straight at Hanba who was at the top of the pagoda!
These four flying swords were engraved with the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, which were the four divine beasts.
The flying sword was as swift as lightning. It did not wait for anyone else to react as it entered Hanba’s body in the blink of an eye!
The Four Symbols Flying Swords sank into Hanba’s body, causing a pained expression to appear on his face. He then closed his eyes again.
Zishan, what are you doing?”
This action caused the old Daoist’s expression to change drastically. He was furious!
The martial arts grandmasters beside the Beiling King charged at him in unison, determined to kill him!
However, the purple-robed Daoist disappeared into thin air.
The only thing left was the purple robe, which was turned into dust by the attacks of several martial arts grandmasters.
Moreover, a palm-sized talisman that was shaped like a small person slowly floated to the ground from the pile of powder. It was very eye-catching.
“Bastard! Xuan Zhen, what are your people doing?”
This scene infuriated the Beiling King, and an abnormal flush appeared on his face.
With a furious roar, the Martial Dao Grandmasters under the Beiling King all looked at those Daoists with killing intent.
It was as if he would kill her at the slightest disagreement!
Seeing this, the old Taoist who spoke just now hurriedly bowed and explained,
“Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with the Black True Sect! It was Zishan who betrayed us. I didn’t know anything about it!”
In his anxiety, the elderly Daoist was somewhat incoherent.
After hearing Xuan Zhenzi’s explanation, the Beiling King didn’t say anything. He only panted heavily, as if he couldn’t catch his breath.
A moment later, his breathing calmed down a little, and then he said coldly to Xuan Zhenzi,
“I don’t care if he betrayed the Black True Sect or you betrayed me. Hanba must be cultivated!”
“Otherwise, this place will be your burial ground!”
Hearing this, Xuan Zhenzi’s forehead broke out in cold sweat and he bent down even more.
He said solemnly,”
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely be able to cultivate Hanba! Zishan won’t be able to escape either!”
Xuan Zhenzi’s cultivation was very high, and he had already cultivated to the realm of Three Flowers Gathering and Five Qi Facing Origin.
They were top-tier Qi Practitioners!
In terms of combat strength, three to five martial arts grandmasters were not his match. Even if they could not defeat him, they could still escape.
However, the few people beside the Beiling King were all top experts among Martial Dao Grandmasters.
Two of them had even reached the Grandmaster Realm!
All he needed was an opportunity to become a Martial God.
Of course, this opportunity might not come again in this lifetime…
There were only a few Martial Gods in Da Qian.
No matter what, the Black True Sect’s manpower was nothing in front of the Northern Mountain King.
If he really wanted to kill, no one in the Xuan Zhen Sect would be able to survive, including Sect Leader Xuan Zhenzi!
The only thing Xuan Zhenzi could do now was to quickly remedy the situation!
With a wave of his hand, the small talisman flew into his hand.
This was a Substitute Talisman, and it was almost flawless when used with the robe.
Of course, this was also because of the profound cultivation of the Purple Mountain Daoist. He could be ranked in the top five in the current Xuanzhen Sect.
Xuan Zhenzi’s eyes could not be fooled by the normal Qi Practitioners.
Xuan Zhenzi had never expected that Purple Mountain Daoist, the backbone of the Xuanzhen Sect’s upper echelons, would actually have the intention to rebel!
This was too unexpected.
To show his loyalty, Xuan Zhenzi held the Substitute Talisman and explained to the Beiling King,
“This is a Substitute Talisman. If I want to unleash the power of this talisman, the Purple Mountain must be within a five-mile radius.”
“When I use my magic and cooperate with the king’s elite soldiers, I will definitely be able to capture Mount Zi within an hour and use his blood to apologize to the king!”
Xuan Zhenzi opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of air.
The whirlwinds gathered together, and in a few breaths, they transformed into a small bird.
The bird flew around him like lightning, its speed was shocking!
Xuan Zhenzi squeezed and kneaded, and the Substitute Talisman turned into a ball.
With a flick of his finger, the paper ball turned into a yellow light and flew into the bird’s body.
After doing this, the little bird seemed to have a target. It chirped lightly and flew out of the cave.
“This bird will lock onto Mount Violet and track it day and night until it dies!”
Xuan Zhenzi explained after he finished casting the spell.
Seeing this, the Beiling King gave a Martial Grandmaster beside him a look.
The man understood and cupped his hands before chasing after the bird.
“Alright, don’t bother about anything else. This king is only concerned about the result of Hanba’s refinement!”
The Beiling King looked at Hanba who was at the top of the pagoda. There was a hint of anxiety and panic in his eyes.
“I’ll go over and take a look.”
Hearing this, Xuan Zhenzi quickly led his disciples to the pagoda.
Whether Hanba succeeded or not was directly related to their life and death.
It was also related to the life and death of millions of people in Jizhou!
They were born.
They died.
On the other side, Su Mu had already left the mountain hall.
After hearing that the purple robed Daoist was within a five mile radius, Su Mu quietly left.
There were too many experts in this hall, any one of them could easily kill Su Mu.
If he stayed any longer, he would only increase the risk of being exposed, but there was nothing he could do.
But Zishan was different.
For this Daoist to be able to play this trick under the eyes of so many experts, he definitely had some tricks up his sleeve.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Although he did not know the identity and background of the group of Daoists.
However, Zishan Daoist had obviously betrayed them and was no longer on their side.
If he could rope in Zi Shan, he would definitely be able to obtain a large amount of information!
Therefore, as soon as Xuan Zhenzi finished speaking, Su Mu had already quietly escaped and started to search for traces of Zishan Daoist in the vicinity of Ghost Head Mountain.
After searching for a while, he saw a figure flash past in the darkness. It knocked over a few guards and drifted into the distance like a gust of wind.
Su Mu’s eyes lit up and he quickly chased after him.
