Chapter 1384 - 1383: The Weakness of the Lianshan Sect

Chapter 1384: Chapter 1383: The Weakness of the Lianshan Sect

From Zeng Changlong’s behavior, it seems he won’t be backlashed by the demon seed in the short term.

So Lu Zheng still has plenty of time.

And on the next day, Du Yueyao also arrived in Pingtan County and happened to meet Lu Zheng with Yuan Jing in mid-air.

"Brother Lu, why did you move to Jiming Temple?" Du Yueyao asked in surprise.

The distance between Pingtan County and Tonglin County isn’t far. Although cell phones can’t be used here, with Lu Zheng’s cultivation, sending paper cranes is quite easy.

So Liu Qingyan and the others knew yesterday that Lu Zheng moved to Jiming Temple, and Liu Qingyan also informed Du Yueyao.

"So..." Du Yueyao leaned closer to Lu Zheng and whispered, "Is there a problem with Zeng Changlong?"

Lu Zheng laughed, "How’s your acting skills?"

Du Yueyao puffed out her chest, "I’ve acted in Peach Blossom Plain!"

Lu Zheng laughed heartily, nodded, and said, "He indeed has a problem, but he doesn’t even know he has a problem."

Du Yueyao’s eyes flashed, immediately thinking of someone, "Master Yuning?"

Lu Zheng shook his head and then nodded, "Not exactly the same, but similar."

Then Du Yueyao became somewhat worried, "He won’t go crazy in the Primordial Saint Sect, right?"

"He won’t...right?"

Yesterday, Lu Zheng saw Zeng Changlong’s spirit was still fine, and the Soul-Draining Demon Seed didn’t genuinely appear for long, so Lu Zheng concluded that the demon seed was not yet formed.

However...

After all, he and those Outer Heaven Demons aren’t from the same place, truly not knowing what stage the demon seed is at now.

What if it’s about to form?

"Better not let him stay here too long," Lu Zheng said.

"Got it." Du Yueyao nodded.

She didn’t need to know the details because she trusted Lu Zheng’s judgment.

"Then let him help the Primordial Saint Sect deliver a letter..."

Du Yueyao immediately shook her head, "No, if he goes crazy at the Southern Border Primordial Saint Sect Headquarters, that’s not good either. Just say I got news from the Southern Border, some petty evildoers seem to be targeting the Lianshan Sect."

"Alright." Lu Zheng said.

Du Yueyao didn’t delay, waved goodbye to Lu Zheng and Yuan Jing, and flew towards the Primordial Saint Sect branch.

After returning Yuan Jing to Shaotong Mountain, Lu Zheng went to Peach Blossom Plain to find Si Lingxi who was instructing Shen Ying.

The two women looked at Lu Zheng.

They understood Lu Zheng; knowing his keen sense, if he suspected Zeng Changlong had a problem, then Zeng Changlong likely did have a problem.

"He had a demon seed planted in him by the Primordial Fang Dog Demon Venerable." Lu Zheng said.

"Primordial Fang Dog Demon Venerable?" Shen Ying immediately reacted, "Has he finally appeared?"

"A demon seed?" Si Lingxi slightly tilted her head, a smile at the corner of her mouth, "No wonder he’s an Upper Realm Celestial Demon; he certainly picked a good target."

Shen Ying was puzzled, "Why say so, isn’t Lianshan Sect the largest sect in Southern Border? Logically, shouldn’t the Upper Realm Celestial Demons avoid such tough opponents initially?"

"But Lianshan Sect is different."

Si Lingxi shook her head, explained, "The jurisdiction of Lianshan Sect is too vast, with numerous masters in the sect, but most are mid-level, distributed across the extensive territories governed by the sect, not residing with and rarely meeting the top masters."

"It’s the best breeding ground for a demon seed."

Si Lingxi continued, "Between one mountain and one village, the formidable masters have about five to seven centuries of Dao practice, unable to resist the seed’s erosion, nor detected by the top masters.

Moreover, these masters are plentiful within the Lianshan Sect’s domain, with names known, not needing the demon to search everywhere.

If you want to implant the seed uniformly, it’s both convenient and efficient, really quite easy."

Shen Ying also reacted, "Similar to the Beggar Gang in martial arts novels?"

Si Lingxi thought for a moment, "More or less."

Lu Zheng said, "If the White Water Hall Master stays holed up in White Water Creek, potentially until the demon seed forms, breaks out, and replaces him, no one might discover."

Shen Ying’s eyes flashed, a bit horrified and incredulous, "Then wouldn’t the Lianshan Sect be full of demons by now?"

Lu Zheng also looked at Si Lingxi.

Si Lingxi pondered for a moment, shook her head, "Hard to say, don’t know."

"Is there a way to resolve it?" Shen Ying asked.

Si Lingxi nodded, "As long as the seed isn’t too large, naturally one can exterminate the demon and extinguish the seed, just leaving them weak for a while.

But if too large, it’s troublesome, the Primordial Qi might be severely damaged, and lifespan shortened.

And if nearing formation, the backlash would render one crippled if not dead."

Shen Ying worriedly said, "I don’t know what’s the situation with Lianshan Sect right now?"

She wasn’t worried about how many people in Lianshan Sect would die, but the Upper Realm Celestial Demons are enemies of the world, let alone the Great Black Heaven Heartless True Desire Demon Ancestor knows Si Lingxi’s secret of traversing between two realms.

The demon’s rising power is also a threat to them.

"Just go see and you’ll find out." Si Lingxi said calmly.

"Don’t alert them." Lu Zheng said.

"Don’t worry." Si Lingxi nodded.

After battling the Dark Sun Crossing Void True Emperor Demon Venerable and the Fiery Heaven-Destroying Demon Dragon King twice, she roughly grasped the combat power of these Upper Realm Celestial Demons in the Lower Realm.

The Demon Dragon King was slightly inferior to her, while the Dark Sun Demon Venerable was roughly equal.

If she went alone, it’s very difficult to leave them behind, even protecting those around her would be challenging.

So Si Lingxi listened to advice, a smile curled on her lips, she said with a smile, "I’ll call on Lianshan Sect Leader Meng Ye and Linglong."

Lu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Yue Yifeng almost died at this Yuan Ya demon’s hands last year."

But Si Lingxi shook her head and said, "If this demon stays in Lianshan Sect’s domain, it’s unnecessary to involve people from the Northern Domain."

"Got it!" Lu Zheng suddenly understood, "I’ll go with you then."

"Alright." Si Lingxi said.

So leaving Shen Ying to guard the house, Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi soared through the clouds, straight towards the Southern Border.

"I remember you said Meng Ye’s hard power is slightly inferior."

Above the clouds, Lu Zheng said to Si Lingxi, "You three, it’s not safe, right? Even if you can leave him behind, likely you’ll be injured yourselves?"

Si Lingxi smiled softly, "Where in the world is anything foolproof? Linglong is very strong, Meng Ye also possesses numerous potent treasures, if the three of us together can’t keep this beast..."

Si Lingxi paused, thought for a moment, can’t let this demon escape.

"Alright, even if he manages to escape, we’ll relentlessly pursue him, I don’t believe it, with the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror in hand, he’s able to escape?"

Lu Zheng, "..."

Alright, ultimately, it’s that damned pride at work.

Dealing with a Fallen Celestial Demon, the lineup of Si Lingxi, Linglong Fairy, Lianshan Sect Leader Meng Ye is already luxurious enough, inviting unfamiliar friends to the three would be humiliating.
