Chapter 1401 - 1400: How About a Celebration Together

Chapter 1401: Chapter 1400: How About a Celebration Together

"Buzz!"

The Light of Fortune surged into the Mind Jade Seal like a tide, even more than when Master Fansa was gravely injured and fled.

Indeed, when Master Fansa left with the six others from Master Tu Ka, he was clearly gravely injured, and his fortune changed greatly.

And part of this change was intercepted by the Jade Seal.

However, compared to the harvest of this change, sending the Xiong Shen Great Demon Venerable back to the Demon Realm directly was even more rewarding.

Truly, killing and burning brings a Golden Belt!

"Dead?" Lu Zheng clicked his tongue.

"Dead." Si Lingxi nodded.

Lu Zheng knew from the change in the Light of Fortune of the Jade Seal, and Si Lingxi of course judged it for herself.

With Divine Thought carefully sensing several circles, the Phoenix Divine Fire was everywhere, confirming that the Yuan Ya Old Demon was indeed burned clean by her.

Si Lingxi couldn’t help but smile, "This was my easiest battle with a Fallen Celestial Demon."

On the day when she fought in the Netherworld through the old peach tree in Taohua Village, Si Lingxi had to control her power cautiously, and was more attentive than she was today.

"I have to say, Master Fansa, as the foremost in Western Buddhism, is really formidable!" Lu Zheng exclaimed.

In a one-on-one magical combat, he could injure Yuan Ya Old Demon like this, making Si Lingxi’s demon-hunting action afterward surprisingly simple.

Of course, Master Fansa paid a very heavy price for it, but this had nothing to do with Lu Zheng.

Opposing demons is everyone’s responsibility; it’s what you should do.

Even if Master Fansa was not aware of the inner details, had he known, he would probably risk death to take Lu Zheng away.

"The next step is handling the aftermath, finding those hidden under Lianshan Sect, fused with demon blood, and harboring demon seeds."

Lu Zheng frowned and said, "But the demon blood has been exhausted by us; I only remember the few who were found to have fused with demon blood before."

"No worries, since it’s known, Meng Ye will surely have ways to find them." Si Lingxi nodded and said, "At worst, it’ll just take more time."

Those with demon blood and harboring demon seeds, no matter how deeply hidden, can only deceive ordinary masters, but how can they escape being detected by unparalleled masters like Si Lingxi and the Lianshan Sect Leader?

"Let’s go to Lianshan Sect."

...

There’s not much to say about the visit to Lianshan Sect.

Meng Ye, the Lianshan Sect Leader, appeared as a dignified middle-aged uncle but held almost the respect of a younger generation in front of Si Lingxi.

Upon learning of Si Lingxi and Lu Zheng’s relationship, his first reaction was existential doubt, as he grew up listening to tales of Si Lingxi’s fame and never expected her to yield to anyone.

However, when informed about the Xiong Shen Great Demon Venerable, Meng Ye displayed the qualities and response befitting a major sect leader.

Summoning, inspecting, dispatching inquiries, using multiple strategies to clear the potential demons among his followers as swiftly as possible, without alarming the common folk or causing a significant stir within the sect.

Then, after a meal at Lianshan Sect, Si Lingxi and Lu Zheng returned to Tonglin County.

...

"The monk who came a few days ago turned out not to be from Great Joyful Temple, but from Great Brahma Heaven Temple."

"He came for the Zhongjing matter, blatantly ignoring the Court’s warning, truly audacious."

"It’s still Sister Lingxi who’s formidable, instantly devising such an ingenious plan to make the ancestor of Great Brahma Heaven Temple implicated."

"Western high monks battling Outer Heaven Demons!"

"In the end, Yuan Ya Old Demon died and his path dissipated, Monk Fansa was gravely injured and dying, dragging six monks back to Western Buddha Country!"

Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan exclaimed in admiration, not expecting the events to unfold this way.

When Si Lingxi and Lu Zheng went to the Southern Border in search of the Xiong Shen Great Demon Venerable, Shen Ying quickly learned through the City God System that three Western Buddhist monks had entered the Yizhou territory.

Most importantly, they did not stay at the Yizhou Prefecture but arrived at Yuhe County, adjacent to Tonglin County.

This was not a visit to Guilan Temple, so Shen Ying first suspected they came for Master Guiyin from Great Joyful Temple.

Thus Shen Ying did not overestimate herself by trying to probe but immediately called for people.

Soon after, she discovered a battle at Lu Residence, and the three monks disappeared.

Simultaneously, Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi also did not appear.

They were not worried about the two facing danger, just curious and wondering if the two planned to pursue to Western Buddha Country to annihilate Great Joyful Temple.

A few days later, when the two finally returned, they learned the monks were from Great Brahma Heaven Temple.

"Exterminating Great Joyful Temple... You dare imagine such things; how much do you look down on the Western Buddhism!"

Lu Zheng sighed, "They are a force to contend with Central Plains Buddhism; do you think we can destroy Fahua Temple?"

"Hehe, because we know how formidable Lu Lang and Sister Lingxi are!"

Shen Ying brewed a cup of tea each for Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi, decisively changing the topic, "Another Fallen Celestial Demon has returned to the Demon Realm; that makes four now, right?"

Heartless True Desire Demon Ancestor, Dark Sun Demon Venerable, Demon Dragon King, Primordial Fang Demon Venerable.

Indeed, that’s four!

"Oh, that’s right."

Speaking of sending back four Celestial Demon True Spirits to the Demon Realm, Lu Zheng recalled another matter, "There’s also a Supreme Profound True Profound Unextinguished Celestial Demon Lord presently within Linxi Dao."

"Profound Profound Demon Lord?" Liu Qingyan couldn’t help but ask, "Have you found him?"

"At that time, he mistook that drop of demon blood as being manipulated by Yuan Ya Old Demon, exposing his trail." Lu Zheng said, "But the exact location and what disguise he used to hide are unclear."

Lu Zheng said, "I’ll visit White Cloud Temple and Chixiao Temple, first inform the sect. Whether the sects notify the Court or cooperate with Celestial Sword Mountain at Linxi Dao, it’s more appropriate than me stepping in."

He was merely an ordinary Outer Disciple at White Cloud Temple; making contact with top forces would only draw attention if White Cloud Temple were involved.

Moreover, since the demon was located at the border between Central Plains and Western Buddha Country, even Si Lingxi wasn’t convenient to appear overly eager.

"White Cloud Temple, Chixiao Temple, Da Jing Court, add Celestial Sword Mountain..."

Si Lingxi nodded and said, "If they decide to search, they will undoubtedly find him."

No matter how hidden that Celestial Demon is, their aim is to stir the world, transform demons, and evolve a part of the Demon Realm.

So they will act, revealing flaws and clues.

Ordinary people might not find them, but experts certainly can, tracking down clues and investigating all the way to the final result.

At worst, it will only take a little longer.

Lu Zheng clapped his hands and said, "We’ll set off tomorrow, relax tonight as we’ve killed another Fallen Celestial Demon, it should be celebrated; shall we?"
