"I heard that the scale of this sect is not large, but the headmaster and several elders are all in the realm of emptiness. It is not impossible to cultivate such a talented disciple," the middle-aged man with the crocodile pattern put down his hand.

Teacup, always pay attention to the expression on the Archmage's face.

"If we really got into trouble with a disciple of that sect, hehe, wouldn't it be very interesting..."

"Oh~, don't you think the name Zhang Lingyun of Taiping Palace sounds familiar?"

"What's so strange? He's just a disciple of a stale cultivating immortal sect!" Before the old man in a brocade robe with a vulture pattern finished his words, he saw the Archmage standing up suddenly, with a proud smile on his face.

"Zhang Lingyun...Taiping Palace, Laoshan..., do you think that disciple is...?" Before the middle-aged man in the snake-patterned brocade robe could finish his words, the monks present suddenly woke up, all showing strange expressions of greed and bloodthirsty.

smile.

"Don't be so exaggerated with your expressions, right? He...couldn't he be the one Elder Tang mentioned, the one who ate the green blood vine fruit?"

"Everyone, we would like to thank the mercy of heaven and earth, and thank the Amaterasu Cult for cultivating us. Since such a large mobile elixir has been automatically delivered to our door, I ask everyone to put aside their suspicions and doubts, and work together to share this feast.

We must not let him slip away under our noses."

In addition to the great master's cultivation, she is also a direct disciple of the Seventh Elder of the Amaterasu Sect. However, everyone present is a disciple invited by the Kingdom of Japan, so their hierarchies and status are naturally different.

"We hope that you will be the only one to follow your lead..." The practitioners present expressed their determination in a friendly manner. It is hard to imagine that people who just had different stances could turn enemies into friends in an instant for the sake of profit, and all hope that they can get a share of it.

soup.

"May I ask the Archmage, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

"Let's just wait and see what happens and let our secret sentry activate in Guanghua Village. If everything goes well, we may not need to take action and the matter will be resolved naturally. Everyone should not go out during this period. The more careful you are at this time, the more cautious you are."

"What do you mean we don't need to take action?" Several people looked at the back of the enigmatic Archmage and couldn't help but secretly speculate before leaving with different expressions.

Facing the warm sunshine, Zhang Lingyun lay leisurely on the bench in the courtyard, holding the freshly made candied haws in his hand, biting into a piece of sweet and sour food and having endless aftertaste.

"Oh~, is it hard to be a good person?"

Zhang Lingyun was very surprised when he heard Chi Yan's complaints. He couldn't help but release a trace of spiritual consciousness to explore Xiao Huo's whereabouts in the village. This sight made Zhang Lingyun have an inexplicable feeling. Xiao Huo was alone in the village with a basket of candied haws.

They stood there, with the doors of every house in the village closed, as if they were hiding from the god of plague, full of fear and resistance.

Amaterasu cultivators have been operating here for two years. The theory that everyone can live as long as heaven has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Now some people are secretly spreading the news that Zhang Lingyun and others are demons who violate the laws of heaven and earth.

, the villagers believed it without any doubt, and felt an unprecedented sense of panic and fear.

"In this case, we might as well arrest a few people secretly. Under coercion and inducement, some of the traitors will confess," Chi Yan suggested with enthusiasm, with the corner of his mouth raised.

"Those villagers were also deceived, don't blame them," Gao Laosan pushed the door open and heard Chi Yan's words.

He was also helpless about Xiao Huo's embarrassing situation in the village, but he didn't want to do such a thing.

"Don't worry, after all, we are also cultivators of immortality, so we won't be serious about it with a group of country bumpkins who are closed-minded... But if we continue like this, there will be no need to stay in this village," Zhang Lingyun waved his hand, very lightly.

Passed by in one stroke.

Zhang Lingyun looked at the blue sky with a few scattered white clouds floating in the air, and lamented that in such a charming place, there was a group of garbage that secretly harmed the people, and also made the surrounding spiritual energy become thinner and almost exhausted. Zhang Lingyun originally

I wanted to resolve the matter in the gentlest way, but unfortunately it backfired and no one appreciated it.

As night fell, Zhang Lingyun and his party quietly entered the village chief's house. Zhang Lingyun cast his holding charm as he walked. The maids and servants who were sleeping in the house were unaware of the direction of the situation. Xiaohuo opened the village chief's door and bumped into the elderly man.

The village chief is preparing to do something inappropriate to the girl on the bed.

"The village chief is such a thing, I'm afraid this village is hopeless," Zhang Lingyun concluded sarcastically as he threw out two holding charms.

"Master Zhang, don't be impatient, let's think of a solution!" Gao Laosan was afraid that a few people would act too aggressively, so he followed them shamelessly but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"I'm here to investigate the whereabouts of the water monster, and I'm not here to serve as a regulatory analyst for those ignorant villagers. They are willing to die stupidly, so why should I stand in the way?"

"Brother Ling Yun, we are going down the mountain this time to practice! Can you not kill anyone?"

"Good boy, if we can get those liars to admit their deception, the villagers will wake up. If they still don't want to believe it, then they can only let him die on his own."

"Ha, this idea is feasible, but... this old guy refuses to say anything," Chi Yan said while a few people were talking, trying to get information from the village chief but in vain, feeling very depressed.

"Isn't there someone else?" Zhang Lingyun pointed at the girl whose hands and feet were tied, feeling that she would solve all the mysteries for everyone.

"Who's coming this time? If you can't find out anything, I'm going to be tortured..." Chi Yan looked at the people nonchalantly, mentally prepared to watch the show.

"You guys throw him into the courtyard to cool down first. I want to have a chat with this young lady alone!" Zhang Lingyun drove the few people out with a squinting look.

"You..., what do you want to do? Please let me go!" The girl looked at Zhang Lingyun holding the candlestick in his hand, some indecent thoughts running through her mind, and she hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Oh~, let's talk about that sect that allows you to live as long as heaven. I'm thinking about whether to let you go." Zhang Lingyun untied the rope on the girl's body, raised his hand to release the restraint of the amulet, and sat aside

He looked at her quietly at the desk.

"Sir, please calm down. The little girl only knows that a group of outsiders came to the village three years ago. They said that they were refugees from the east. Those people were good at boxing and kicking, and they were even better at hunting. They soon became

They have taken root in the village, and some people have even married, had children, and started families here." As she said this, a few tears fell from the girl's eyes, and it took a while for her tone to return to normal.

"please continue……."

"Ahem, just two years ago, a group of people calling themselves Amaterasu came here to spread their teachings. They claimed that they could make people

Those who are destined to achieve a state that even immortals cannot reach, live as long as heaven. At first, no one believed their lies. In everything, there will always be the first person to eat crabs. After that person accepted the baptism of Amaterasu,

It was as if he had changed into a different person, doing nothing all day long and only caring about the orders issued by the cult. Gradually, people in the village believed that he was the chosen one, and began to follow the teachings of the Amaterasu cult and believed that they had eternal life. Appearances began to appear in the village.

The missing boys and girls, and then water monsters began to cause trouble in the river. Even though so many strange things happened around them, people still believed in the casual teachings of Amaterasu and lived their lives."

"Are you a family member of one of the outsiders? Is your husband the first to eat crabs?" Zhang Lingyun heard the dissatisfaction and helplessness in the young woman's heart and instantly understood what she meant.

"Yes, I suspect that my husband was not kidnapped by the water monster. He was probably secretly imprisoned by those religious people," the young woman narrowed her eyes with determination.

"Has your husband ever mentioned where the gathering point of the Amaterasu Sect is? We will rescue those who were captured as soon as possible." Zhang Lingyun did not expect that the news would be obtained so easily, and he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

"I only know that it is in a canyon. The specific location is not clear to me..."

"Ling Yun, there is a group of monsters with extremely small spiritual power fluctuations approaching us. The number... there are probably a hundred or so." Chi Yan's scattered consciousness detected the strange movement in the distance, and he wondered whether he should fight here.

, suddenly opened the door and asked Zhang Lingyun for his opinion.

"Xiaohuo, send this girl to a safe place to hide." Zhang Lingyun looked at the shivering appearance of the village chief in the courtyard, and suddenly remembered a sentence he heard when he was a child, "If the people are not stupid and obedient, wouldn't everyone be the same?"

How can we manage them if they all want to gain a high position without working?' Now think about it, these straightforward words contain very profound philosophical implications.

"Master Zhang, if a war starts here, this village may be...," Gao Laosan's voice trembled slightly as if praying, waiting for Zhang Lingyun's final decision.

"I didn't say I wanted to fight here? I just want to see who the other party is coming for. Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhang Lingyun casually pointed in a direction away from the river bank, "You take a step first, and I'll follow you."

.”

"Do you suspect that the people in this village are together with these monsters?" Chi Yan checked the surrounding situation through his spiritual consciousness. There were so many monsters, but they did not damage anything in the village, nor did they break into the thin wall at will.

Zhumen just ran straight forward in the direction where they were.

"The woman said that the Amaterasu Sect began to send people to Guanghua Village three years ago, and now the village is full of devout believers." Zhang Lingyun looked at the monster getting closer and sighed deeply, "Let's go...

," he pinched out two magical talismans and applied them to himself and Chi Yan. The two of them went straight to the agreed place like a flash of lightning in the dark night.

"This thing of yours is really good, it doesn't consume any spiritual energy at all," Chi Yan took the unused talisman and checked it over and over again, nodding from time to time.

This was the first time for Chi Yan to use the talisman made by Zhang Lingyun. He did not find that such a simple talisman contained such pure spiritual power. The user could activate the talisman without any requirements, and the ancient spell cast by Chi Yan

They all require strong spiritual support. If the spiritual power in your consciousness is exhausted, you can only look at the sky and sigh that there is nothing you can do.
