Chapter 923 - 588 Evil Spirit! (4K)_2

Carefree Old Man and Sky Martial Demon Monarch are third-rank Gods, whereas Grand Preceptor Xu is a second-rank God of the Immortal Dynasty.

Lu Changsheng and Yuexi are ninth-rank Gods, Zuo Jianqing is an eighth-rank God, and Princess is a fifth-rank God.

Their opponent, the Prince, is a seventh-rank God, while Grand Preceptor Xu is a second-rank God.

A group of people rushed up together, but none were a match for Grand Preceptor Xu.

The Mountain and Rivers Chart of Lu Changsheng served only for self-protection; without an opportunity given by Grand Preceptor Xu, capturing him was difficult.

“I originally did not want to kill you or offend the powers behind you, but if you dare to spoil my plans, don’t blame me for being impolite. If you die here, no one will know.”

Upon intimidating everyone, Grand Preceptor Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Behind Yuexi stands one of the eight Divine Palaces—the Mysterious Lady Palace, behind Lu Changsheng stands Mount Taihua Sacred Land, behind Mo Huazhi stands Ziyang Academy, and the identity of the Princess goes without saying.

Unless absolutely necessary, Grand Preceptor Xu did not want to offend these major forces.

“Is this the Magical Treasure of Qing Emperor?”

Grand Preceptor Xu’s gaze moved to the Divine Sword suppressing the stone coffin, his fervor unmatched.

The Magical Treasure of Qing Emperor was within easy reach.

In other palaces, there might be other treasures, but this Divine Sword forged from Primordial Emperor Gold was undoubtedly the most valuable treasure in the Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum.

The Princess reprimanded, “Grand Preceptor Xu, this sword is used by the Qing Emperor to Suppress Evil. It must not be drawn out; otherwise, the consequences are unpredictable. If it releases the Evil Spirit, do you want to be the eternal sinner?”

Grand Preceptor Xu coldly huffed, “I have heard of the legend of the Evil Spirit, but as time has passed, whatever kind of Evil Spirit it was, having been suppressed for so long, it would have already turned to dust. Such a treasure remaining unseen in this underground palace is simply a waste. Such treasures belong to those with virtue.”

Grand Preceptor Xu reached out and touched the Divine Sword.

Yuexi and Princess wanted to make a move but were stopped by Lu Changsheng.

Let alone if they could match Grand Preceptor Xu, should a fight break out and destroy the underground palace, it could just as well break Qing Emperor’s seal.

Perhaps, as Grand Preceptor Xu said, the Evil Spirit of Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum might have been extinguished by the Evil-Suppressing Great Formation laid down by the Qing Emperor before his death.

Lu Changsheng watched every move of Grand Preceptor Xu closely, ready to react at any sign of trouble.

“The treasure is in hand!”

As Grand Preceptor Xu grasped the sword hilt, a wave of metallic chill came, overwhelmed with excitement.

The Magical Treasure of an Ancient Human Emperor will soon be his!

Even the Confucian Sage, Ancient Buddha, and Great Powers of the Daoist Sect might not possess treasures of this level!

“Ha.”

With a slight grunt, Grand Preceptor Xu forcefully drew the Divine Sword!

Lu Changsheng, Yuexi, Princess, Lin Qingzhi, Shen Xiaoyao, Mo Huazhi, and others, however, had their eyes fixed on the stone coffin.

The Divine Sword of Qing Emperor was suppressing the stone coffin; it was the main focus.

“No movement…”

Yuexi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Should they release the Evil Spirit within Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum, they would also get entangled in the karma.

Karma and destiny, profound and enigmatic.

“It seems the Evil Spirit has indeed been completely eradicated over the long years,” the Princess also relaxed substantially.

It’s better that the Magical Treasure of Qing Emperor falls into Grand Preceptor Xu’s hands than the Evil Spirit causing unimaginable catastrophes.

“Hahaha, I finally see hopes of breaking through to the Longevity Immortal Realm before my life reaches its limit; soon, I will be only one step away from eternal immortality!”

Grand Preceptor Xu held up the Divine Sword, brimming with excitement.

He had been stagnant at the second-rank God realm for twenty million years; without an unforeseen event, this would have been his limit.

But with the Qing Emperor’s Magical Treasure, he now had the capital to attempt breaking through to the Immortal Realm.

This was also the reason why he would rather offend multiple major powers just to acquire the Qing Emperor’s treasure.

“Master, be careful!”

The Prince was laughing just like Grand Preceptor Xu when he suddenly saw a surge of dark energy emanating from the stone coffin behind Grand Preceptor Xu, making the Prince break out in a cold sweat.

As a royal member of the Immortal Dynasty, he naturally knew about the origin of the Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum.

According to legend, Qing Emperor chose this location for his tomb to suppress the Evil Spirit formed from a fallen entity even after his death.

All along, the Prince had thought this to be merely a legend. What kind of entity requires an ancient Human Emperor to select a tomb and lay down a peerless Great Formation to suppress it after death?

However, the rising dark energy from the stone coffin sent a chill down his spine.

The legend might very well be true!

“This is bad…”

Lu Changsheng’s expression wasn’t good.

An Evil Spirit that even Qing Emperor could not completely eradicate, what sort of monster had Grand Preceptor Xu unleashed?

“I never thought the Evil Spirit actually existed.” Turning around, Grand Preceptor Xu saw the dark energy inside the stone coffin yet remained unflustered, “Now that I possess the Qing Emperor’s Magical Treasure, I am not afraid of a ghost that has been dead for millions of years.”

Grand Preceptor Xu channeled True Qi into the Divine Sword, the Divine Sword shone with intense golden light, and the oppressive force of the Primordial Emperor Gold caused the entire Underground Palace to shake.

“With this magical treasure, the Evil Spirit is no longer a concern,” said the master.

The third prince calmed down slightly, knowing that as long as his master possessed the magical treasure of the Qing Emperor, he could restrain the Evil Spirit.

Thicker and darker miasma started to emerge from the stone coffin, surging towards Grand Preceptor Xu.

“Destroy!”

Grand Preceptor Xu employed his sword technique, slashing forward with Sword Qi. The golden Sword Qi annihilated and obliterated everything in its path, destroying everything!

Stone coffins, palaces, steles, all shattered!

Lu Changsheng hurriedly placed himself, Yuexi, the Princess, Zuo Jianqing, all his disciples, and a dog into the Mountain and Rivers Chart.

“You all?”

Dantai Meng was cultivating inside the Mountain and Rivers Chart when suddenly a group of people burst in, resulting in a surprised and awkward exchange of glances.

The space within the Mountain and Rivers Chart trembled, and Lu Changsheng, using all his strength, urged the Chart to resist the external repercussions.

The aftershock of Grand Preceptor Xu combatting the Evil Spirit was earth-shattering.

If not for the Mountain and Rivers Chart blocking the aftermath, they probably would all have perished.

“The magical treasure of the Qing Emperor is indeed powerful, terrifyingly so,” said Yuexi, still in shock.

If it wasn’t for Lu Changsheng’s prompt action, taking them all into the Mountain and Rivers Chart, they would not have escaped unscathed.

“What happened outside?”

Dantai Meng was curious.

She had been in seclusion cultivating inside the Mountain and Rivers Chart and hadn’t paid attention to the outside situation.

“Be quiet.”

Lu Changsheng rebuked, and Dantai Meng was immediately silenced.

“Hmph, someone was just concerned, why so harsh…” muttered Dantai Meng.

If the Mountain and Rivers Chart had been destroyed, she wouldn’t have escaped either.

Through the barrier of the Mountain and Rivers Chart, the Princess saw the events unfolding outside: “Grand Preceptor Xu has received the Qing Emperor’s magical treasure; he should be able to defeat the Evil Spirit.”

However, Lu Changsheng shook his head, “Indeed, the magical treasure of the Qing Emperor is formidable. However, even the Qing Emperor himself could not kill the Evil Spirit in his lifetime and could only suppress it with the Emperor’s Mausoleum. The likelihood of Grand Preceptor Xu killing the Evil Spirit is close to zero.”

The Princess, upon realizing this, turned pale.

An existence that even the Qing Emperor couldn’t eradicate completely is probably beyond even her father, the Immortal Dragon Emperor, let alone Grand Preceptor Xu.

Outside the Mountain and Rivers Chart, the Underground Palace was a mess, and even the mountain body of the Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum had a huge sword scar across it.

“The Sword of the Qing Emperor is indeed extraordinary. With this sword, even a Greatly Accomplished God-King would be no match for this old man,” Grand Preceptor Xu was satisfied with the power of the Divine Sword.

“Master, it, it’s still alive!”

The third prince’s eyes widened as he saw the black mist emerging from the stone coffin appear above his head.

“Disciple, quickly get away!”

Grand Preceptor Xu, seeing the third prince as his own, realized the danger of the Evil Spirit.

“Ahhhh!!!”

The third prince, unable to dodge in time, was engulfed by the black mist and screamed in agony.

A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime; Grand Preceptor Xu’s face showed a struggle, as he and the third prince were like father and son, and he could not bear to strike.

But the black mist was possessing.

“Disciple, I’m sorry.”

Grand Preceptor Xu clenched his teeth but still chose to strike with his sword.

The Wan Ren Sword Qi was unleashed, and the dazzling Sword Qi engulfed the third prince.

Boom!

The Qing Emperor’s Mausoleum suffered further damage, and the Sword Qi even shattered the mountain body and flew out of it.

The power of the Sword of the Qing Emperor was too terrifying.

“This time, it should have killed that monster…”

Grand Preceptor Xu gasped heavily, having swung the sword twice in succession, almost depleting his True Qi.

The cost of using the Qing Emperor’s magical treasure was too great.

“Finally, a decent body to use.”

Amidst the dust, the voice of the third prince came, but the tone was no longer that of the familiar disciple, leaving Grand Preceptor Xu ashen-faced.
