The power of the black light was terrifying; even the array of the Treasure Pavilion could not completely block it.
Instantly, countless cultivators in Canglan City sensed this scene.
What is that?
"That direction seems to be towards the Treasure Pavilion!"
"What happened at the Treasure Pavilion?"
"What a terrifying aura!"
"This feeling... it's like the aura of a powerful demonic cultivator. Could it be that a demon has infiltrated Canglan City?"
...
Amidst the shock of countless cultivators, the Tianji Workshop Master and others displayed delighted expressions.
"It's done! Young Master Yu, the mole inside the Treasure Pavilion has successfully unlocked and detonated the array plate!"
“Very well, let’s go there now and let me see what kind of person this woman from the Mo family is.”
The elegant young man nodded slightly.
Then, step by step, they walked into the air and slowly headed towards the Treasure Pavilion.
Canglan City originally had an anti-flying formation to prevent flight, but the formation seemed to have no effect on it.
The two elderly men who had been following the wealthy young man suddenly exuded an inexplicable aura.
It then took to the air and followed behind the young master.
On the contrary, Tianji Fangzhu and his group were restricted by the city's formation and could not fly. They had to use their movement techniques to run on the ground and rush towards the Treasure Pavilion.
Besides the people from Tianji Workshop, many other forces in the city also headed towards the Treasure Pavilion.
Even in the magnificent city lord's mansion located in the center of the city, an aura as deep as the ocean was slowly awakening.
"It's demonic energy!!"
Outside, there was a commotion; inside the Treasure Pavilion, chaos reigned.
Master Qiu, who was closest to the demonic energy, was filled with fear.
When the contents of that disc truly erupted, he finally understood what it was.
He was filled with fear, knowing that he had fallen into the trap set by Tianjifang.
He personally released this thing into the city, and he will surely be punished afterwards.
The thoughts of those in the Golden Core realm were racing; in the blink of an eye, Master Qiu had already made his decision.
His body shot backward, heading straight out of the Treasure Pavilion.
He wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the city and leave immediately.
Once he leaves Canglan City, with his status as a mid-stage Golden Core expert, he can go anywhere in the vast world.
At this moment, Master Qiu only wanted to save himself and escape Canglan City as quickly as possible.
As for his disciples and concubines, he had long since forgotten about them and never even thought about them again.
As he retreated, Master Qiu also saw the guard who was staring in disbelief.
His gaze suddenly turned serious, and with a thought, he flung out a shuttle-shaped magic weapon, which flew towards the guard.
This guard was the only one who saw him unlock the array plate. As long as he was killed, he could deny everything if any problems arose!
"not good!"
The guards, who had been stunned by the sudden burst of demonic energy, were jolted awake by the chilling killing intent.
Then he saw that the shuttle-shaped magic weapon, radiating terrifying power, was rushing towards him and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Without time to think, the guard had no choice but to unleash the full power of his magic sword and block forward.
boom!
The clash between the two Golden Core Realm cultivators unleashed tremendous power.
The surrounding area was instantly swept up by surging magical power.
If it weren't for the powerful array protecting the Treasure Pavilion, this single burst of energy would have razed everything around it to the ground.
Even so, many buildings in the vicinity with relatively weak protective formations were still affected by the powerful shockwave, and many collapsed.
In the violent collision, a figure flew backward and crashed heavily into a half-broken wall.
His body was covered in wounds, and his breathing was greatly weakened; he was already seriously injured.
"As expected, the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator is far too powerful, far beyond what I, a mere early-stage Golden Core cultivator at the second stage, can contend with."
The guard's face showed utter defeat; he knew he was no match for Master Qiu.
But the fact that his opponent's casual strike had seriously injured him still horrified him.
"He's still alive?"
Master Qiu was very dissatisfied to see that his guards had only been seriously injured and not completely destroyed under the attack of his magic weapon.
Although he hadn't made a move for many years, the power of his meticulously crafted magic weapon should not be something that a mere second-grade low-level Golden Core cultivator could withstand.
Enraged, Master Qiu's murderous intent intensified.
Although he was also fleeing, he still made a hand seal, and the shuttle-shaped magic weapon that was flying backward spun in the air and bombarded the guards again.
"It's over!"
At this point, the guards had no strength left to resist.
He could only watch in despair as the magical weapon hurtled towards him.
However, just as he was about to die while protecting someone...
But he heard a faint voice say, "Settle."
Then he saw that the powerful shuttle-shaped magic weapon was suddenly fixed less than three feet in front of him.
No matter how much it twisted and trembled, it could no longer move forward even an inch.
"What?!"
Shocked, the guards immediately looked in the direction of Master Qiu.
Then, he saw something even more shocking.
Master Qiu, who had been fleeing, was now frozen in place, his face filled with horror.
A faint yellow light emanated from his body, completely sealing him off and rendering him unable to move an inch.
"Can anyone tell me what just happened?"
A figure slowly walked over, looking at the towering black light shrouded in black mist ahead, his expression somewhat solemn.
"Chief Lu!"
The guards were overjoyed when they saw Lu Qing.
He hurriedly shouted, "It's Master Qiu! I saw him controlling a black array plate just now, and after the array plate exploded, this demonic light appeared!"
Upon hearing this, Master Qiu's eyes revealed shock and anger.
He knew that even if he could silence the guard now, it would be of no use.
What terrified him even more was that, despite being at the sixth level of the Golden Core realm, he was now being suppressed by some unknown force.
No matter how much magical power is unleashed within the Golden Core, it is completely unable to break free.
"It's this kid? Impossible! How could a mere Golden Core Stage 3 cultivator possess such power!"
Master Qiu could sense that the power suppressing him originated from Lu Qing.
But that's precisely why he found it even more unbelievable.
A mere Golden Core Stage 3 expert was able to suppress him, a dignified Golden Core Stage 6 master!
"Did you make that noise?"
Lu Qing turned to look at Master Qiu, whom he was suppressing.
Although he could tell that this person had the appearance of a petty person.
But no one expected that he would have the audacity to cause such a commotion in the Treasure Pavilion.
He was in his cave just now, concentrating on refining talismans.
Thinking that before leaving, I wanted to leave some legacy for the owner of the Treasure Pavilion.
Suddenly, however, they sensed a dangerous aura coming from outside.
When he opened the protective array of the cave and came out, he saw the guard about to be killed, so he saved him.
He never expected that this scene was actually orchestrated by Master Qiu.
Lu Qing stared at the soaring black light shrouded in dark mist.
He could naturally recognize what was in front of him.
After all, there was a guy in his Fire Cauldron who cultivated this kind of power.
Demonic energy.
The power wielded by beings who cultivate the demonic path.
Moreover, what lies before us is extremely pure and powerful demonic energy.
Its origin is probably not that of ordinary demonic beings.
At the very least, they must be beings at the Nascent Soul Realm or higher.
"As expected, it's still because my Dao heart wavered. If I hadn't left sooner, it probably wouldn't be so easy for me to leave now..."
Given Master Qiu's petty nature, he himself would naturally not have the guts to do such a thing.
There must be someone behind this.
Since that person dared to do such a thing, he must have made ample preparations long ago.
The demonic energy before us is alright; it's inanimate and doesn't pose much of a threat.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
What I fear is that what follows may not be so easily resolved.
As Lu Qing's thoughts raced, a slight tremor ran through his mind.
Then, several powerful figures suddenly appeared.
It was none other than the owner of the Treasure Pavilion and his entourage.
"Demonic energy?! And Master Qiu?"
The owner of the Treasure Pavilion and the others were also greatly surprised to see the towering black light surrounded by black mist.
Then they saw Master Qiu being suppressed, and were shocked again.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, what happened here?" the Treasure Pavilion Master immediately asked.
"I don't know either, but this guard seems to know what's going on."
Lu Qing flicked his wrist, and a talisman landed on the guard.
His injuries began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The faint aura gradually grew stronger.
The guard, who had been almost unable to move, immediately stood up and bowed to Lu Qing with heartfelt gratitude.
"Thank you so much, Chief Lu, for saving my life!"
Lu Qing waved his hand: "No need for idle talk. Tell the landlord and the others what you saw first."
"It's like this, Lord. Just now, I sensed an unusual fluctuation of magical power and came to investigate."
Then they saw Master Qiu activating a black array plate. After the array plate shattered, this demonic light appeared.
Then Master Qiu tried to escape, and his subordinates had no choice but to desperately stop him..."
Under the watchful eyes of the host and others, the guards dared not be negligent and quickly recounted what had just happened.
Of course, in the process, he inevitably had to slightly elevate his own image.
He described his injury as being caused by desperately trying to stop Master Qiu.
After hearing this, the owner of the Treasure Pavilion and the others immediately looked at Master Qiu.
"Qiu Rong, is what Guard Zhao said true?"
"I asked the owner of the Treasure Pavilion."
At this moment, she didn't even have time to ask in detail how Qiu Rong had been suppressed.
However, Master Qiu remained silent, his face ashen.
The owner of the Treasure Pavilion's face instantly frosted over.
As intelligent as she was, she immediately understood what was going on.
It is obvious that Qiu Rong was acting under someone's orders to stir up demonic energy in the Treasure Pavilion.
"Trying to play dead? Speak up! Who ordered you to do this? Do you know that possessing demonic artifacts is a grave crime!"
A deputy building manager shouted loudly from the side.
However, Master Qiu remained silent, seemingly determined to stick to his guns to the end.
Seeing this, the landlord's face turned angry, and he was about to make a move.
Just then, Lu Qing's expression changed, and he looked up at the sky.
The next moment, the owner of the Treasure Pavilion and the others also sensed something and looked up.
Then they all jolted.
Suddenly, three figures appeared in the sky, seemingly standing in mid-air.
Leading them was a distinguished young man dressed in mysterious robes, exuding an air of nobility, who was looking at them with a half-smile.
"Flying through the void? How is that possible? Flying is prohibited in Canglan City!"
One of the sub-hosts couldn't help but say.
The owner of the Treasure Pavilion did not speak, but her expression was very solemn.
When she saw the elegant young man, alarm bells went off in her mind.
A strong sense of dread welled up from the bottom of her heart.
She knew that it was a secret technique deep within her bloodline, constantly warning her.
That young man in the sky is extremely terrifying!
"One eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator and two powerful beings who have just entered the Nascent Soul Realm."
Gongshu Yu, a direct descendant of the Gongshu family, one of the thirty-six superior clans of the Tianyuan Great World?
Lu Qing, who had already quietly activated his supernatural abilities, also took a deep breath when he saw the information floating in his field of vision.
He knew that things were really getting serious now.
These three people in the sky were extraordinary not only in their identities and backgrounds but also in their cultivation levels.
The note also indicated that even Qiu Rong's actions were instigated by them.
It's obvious that they came here specifically for the Treasure Pavilion.
"Indeed, greed is the original sin. I should have left this morning..."
Lu Qing sighed inwardly once again.
"Three esteemed elders, what brings you to our Treasure Pavilion?"
At this moment, the owner of the Treasure Pavilion respectfully bowed and asked in a loud voice.
Then she saw a strange glint in the eyes of the wealthy young man as his gaze fell upon her.
In an instant, she felt a chill rise from the bottom of her heart, as if all her secrets had been seen through by that young man.
"So that's how it is. The Profound Yin Jade Body also possesses supernatural bloodlines. No wonder the old monster of the Joyful Union Sect values you so much."
The strange light in the young man's eyes faded, and with a hint of surprise on his face, he slowly nodded.
The words he uttered shocked the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, and he could no longer maintain his expression of astonishment.
"How could this be? How could you..."
The words had barely left his mouth when the owner of the Treasure Pavilion immediately stopped himself.
However, the look of surprise on his face was impossible to hide.
It was obvious that what the other person said had hit a deep secret in her heart.
"However, don't tell me that you were just chosen by the old monster of the Hehuan Sect."
Even if you are a true disciple of the Hehuan Sect, harboring demons is a grave crime.
Will you surrender yourselves, or do you want me to capture you personally?
"If I, this young master, were to take action, then don't blame me for any deaths or injuries."
The elegant young man stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.
Hiding demons in secret?
Upon hearing this, the owner of the Treasure Pavilion immediately understood the other party's plan.
Her heart sank, and she immediately said in a deep voice, "Young master must have misunderstood something. This demonic light appeared suddenly, and my Treasure Pavilion is also completely confused."
Isn't it a bit too hasty of you to so easily conclude that it was done by my Treasure Pavilion?
"Whether it is arbitrary or not is my prerogative, and it is not up to you to decide. It seems that you are unwilling to surrender. Then I will take action myself."
The wealthy young man remained calm, seemingly unsurprised by the owner of the Treasure Pavilion's explanation.
After saying that, his gaze sharpened, and the next moment, a terrifying pressure, as if the sky were collapsing, descended upon the Treasure Pavilion Master and the others!
