On the desolate mountain late at night, Qing Yu changed into a new outfit and appeared in front of Xuanyin Sword Residence and others, dressed as the long-unseen Hidden Mirror Man.
"Greetings to the Mirror Master."
Xuanyin Sword Residence and Xiao Qiye's n were guarding the surroundings, and he bowed to Qing Yu.
"Aside from Chunyang Palace, how are the other sects?" Qing Yu asked.
"Reporting to the Mirror Master, as instructed, I abandoned so sects, including those with Divine Communication Realm visitors. Currently, thirty-seven sects have been breached by people from the Buddhist sects, and the specifics of their disciples are unknown.
As for the remaining sects, thanks to our tily rescue, the majority have been saved. This is the detail of the area we are responsible for. As for Sword Maiden, no news has been returned yet."
The abandonnt of those sects was intended to incite hatred among the Taoist people. If the rescue was too perfect, it might cause so to slack off or even develop an urge to seek refuge.
Qing Yu had no intention of having his ticulously arranged play end with the actors fleeing. Even though they were just extras, he couldn't let such behavior spread.
As for those sects visited by Divine Communication Realm figures, since they weren't Zhenwu Sect's top lackey, Chunyang Palace, they could also be considered sacrifices.
"Once news from Sword Maiden arrives, this grand play should also co to a close," Qing Yu said with satisfaction.
Although there were so twists, the overall result was still smooth. The Taoist sects falling into Qing Yu's hands also coincidentally kicked off the confrontation with the Buddhist sects.
If a war between the Buddhist and Taoist sects breaks out, another wave of villain points would be credited.
"System, use the Buddhist Martial lottery I obtained this ti." Qing Yu spoke to the system in his heart.
"Advanced Buddhist Martial, drawing······"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a five-and-a-half-star Buddhist Martial 'Ghost Zen Six Breaks'."
The familiar taste, the familiar prize—nad Buddhist Martial, yet essentially a martial of the Buddha's enemy. 'Ghost Zen Six Breaks' is an absolute skill of Ghost Tathagata in the Thunder World. This skill revolves around proving the Dao through killing—extrely lethal action.
'How could one say Buddha and Demon are just a thought away? Although he is a monk, only destructive martial arts co out.' Qing Yu thought helplessly.
The extres of Buddha and Demon are two sides of the sa coin, and both can easily be reversed. The more deeply Qing Yu studied the Buddhist teachings passed down by the Silent Annihilation Sky Demon, the more blurred the line between Buddha and Demon beca.
Perhaps one day, writing a classic about the argunt between Buddha and Demon could create a large group of monks turning from Buddha to Demon.
[Mirror Master, save .]
Just when feeling sentintal, Sword Maiden's cry for help ca through ntal connection.
'Did Sword Maiden encounter a strong opponent?'
Qing Yu instinctively thought that Sword Maiden might have accidentally encountered a Divine Communication Realm bald-headed monk from the Great Zen Temple. Otherwise, with her strength, she shouldn't have fallen to the point of calling for help.
Thinking this way, a Primordial Spirit of Qing Yu descended into Sword Maiden's body through the Divine Travel Technique.
Upon descending into Sword Maiden's body, he imdiately sensed a fierce wind coming, the vast Fist Power was already close at hand.
"Earthly Evil Qi?" Qing Yu frowned, "Xuanyin Sword Armor."
The Sword Armor unfolded. The Fist Power recorded on the Xuanyin Sword Armor was torn to pieces by the suddenly fierce and vicious Xuanyin Sword Energy without a sound.
"Oh?"
The person who threw the punch let out a light sound of surprise and curiously said, "Just now, this Protective Sword Qi couldn't block a few of my punches; why is it so fierce now?"
Earlier, Sword Maiden had used Xuanyin Sword Armor, but under the opponent's fierce Fist Power, it couldn't last a few punches. However, now the one in control of this body was Qing Yu.
"Mu Yuan, stop playing and capture Zhang Hanling." A man's voice ca from not far away.
Qing Yu turned to look and saw three n watching the Sword Maiden he possessed. Two of them were waiting impatiently on the side, and the remaining one was Mu Yuan, who had just punched.
These three were all wearing battle gear, exuding an irrepressible ferocity and wildness, and there was also a······
Earthly Evil Qi.
"She is now not Zhang Hanling but my subordinate, Sword Maiden."
The resonant voice vibrating through the air made all three of them solemn, each intensely focused on the suddenly transford Sword Maiden.
They had found Sword Maiden, who was confronting the Buddhist sects, killed all her subordinates, and severely wounded Sword Maiden.
Each one of them was a top expert of the True Pill Realm, just a step away from Divinity. Even though Sword Maiden had three Xuanyin Sword Energies and Wu Wang in her hand, she couldn't contend against these three.
If not for one of them becoming curious about her swordsmanship after heavily injuring Sword Maiden, she might have called for help much earlier.
"Who are you?"
Mu Yuan asked tensely.
"The important thing is not who I am but who you are. If I am not mistaken, you all are from the Southern Border. Since when did people from the Southern Border co to the heart of the Central Plains?"
Qing Yu's gaze swept over them—still the sa appearance, but now Sword Maiden gave the three an entirely different feeling.
The pressure so tangible that just being watched made the three feel like their breathing halted.
'This is definitely not Zhang Hanling!' This thought simultaneously flashed through the minds of the three.
Just being watched could instill such dread; what would it be like in an actual confrontation? The three didn't dare imagine the result.
However, not acting was also not an option. Their entry into the Central Plains this ti was entirely clandestine, let alone the fact that the other party's intention clearly was to capture and interrogate them.
So······
"Fight!"
Mu Yuan shouted, and ancient simple battle marks appeared on his cheeks, his iron fists dyed an ash hue. Earthly Evil Qi wrapped around his fists like gloves.
"Desolate God Hundred Strikes."
"Holy Witch's Scythe."
"Sky-crossing Shadow Stab."
Apart from Mu Yuan's Fist Power, there were also the others' scythe shadows and flying stabs. These moves might be effective against Sword Maiden, but in front of Qing Yu······
Don't be ridiculous.
With a gentle swing of the sword, Wu Wang returned as a path of golden light, severing the scythe blade, the flying stab, and a fist.
Qing Yu maximized the superpower mimicking Heaven and Earth Splitting, coupled with far superior vision and insight, making the severely injured Sword Maiden's opponents a laughing stock with just one sword strike.
"Shoosh, shoosh, shoosh······"
Sword Qi in a ghostly green flew, pinning the three to the ground. Qing Yu, controlling Sword Maiden's body, stepped forward and asked condescendingly, "I have a hunch you didn't co to the Central Plains for my subordinate. Tell , what are the people from the Southern Border doing in the heart of the Central Plains?"
The response he received was long silence.
"As I thought, a tough nut, but unfortunately, whether you speak or not is not up to you."
The eerie light glead in his eyes, and he t the gaze of one of them. An irresistible divine sense had already rushed into his mind.
But at that mont, a sharp, intense Qi Force, capable of piercing the sky, broke through, directly targeting the Sword Maiden's body that Qing Yu possessed.
