Chapter 1523 - 1509: Falling into Demonic Ways

Nuwa stood atop the peak of the mountain, her mind gradually calming down. Memories from the past flashed through her mind, and suddenly she felt a deep exhaustion.

In the distance, the mountain peaks seemed so ethereal in the night, yet a white shadow floated over.

Nuwa's exquisitely beautiful face seemed to have no reaction to the floating white shadow, her charming eyes fixed on it.

Though the white shadow appeared to be floating, it moved quickly and was before the peak where Nuwa stood in an instant. It was a white-bearded elder.

"Disciple Nuwa greets Master Hong Jun," Nuwa bowed respectfully to Master Hong Jun and said sweetly.

Master Hong Jun's face radiated kindly light, and with a slight wave of his hand, he said, "Nuwa, you are Pangu's disciple; what makes you leisure to wander to Kunlun Mountain?"

Nuwa said, "I have a query, and I've specially come to seek the Elder's guidance."

Master Hong Jun chuckled softly and said aloud, "Nuwa, through the ages heroes often had beauties. It's been so many years; haven't you let go of your persistence?"

Nuwa said, "That's not what I'm asking. I let go of that matter long ago. I seek the Elder's guidance on how I can escape this world."

Previously, it was mentioned that Yaoji obtained Pangu's seal and consumed an ancient wondrous flower, surviving in this world for tens of thousands of years.

Humans pursue immortality, but if they live too long in this earthly world, they tend to develop a sense of disgust. Nuwa's meaning was clear; she was asking the Elder how she could die.

The Elder raised his right hand, gently stroking his white beard below his forehead, and said, "The heart is originally without dust; where do the worries come from? Nuwa, if you simply let go of all the concerns in your heart, why worry about escaping this world?"

Nuwa pondered for a moment, then looked up, her eyes bright, and bowed to the Elder, saying, "Disciple understands now."

The Elder laughed heartily and nodded, saying, "Understanding is good. Nuwa, chaos in the world has been born; Tian Mang has just succumbed to the Demon Path. You need to help him break free from it."

Nuwa was startled and said, "Elder, wasn't Tian Mang sent by you to the earthly world to prevent the tribulation? How could..."

The Elder said, "Tian Mang's entry into the world was destined to face this calamity. Initially, I sent a message through someone for Tian Mang to meet me, but he didn't come. Now he has succumbed to the Demon Path."

Wow, could this white-bearded old man be the one Gabula encountered at Kunlun Mountain?

Remember, when Gabula was at Kunlun Mountain, he unexpectedly came across a monster. At the critical moment, a white-bearded old man saved him and told him to find Tian Mang, who is Lin Chuan.

After much hardship, Gabula found Lin Chuan and conveyed the old man's message, telling Lin Chuan to meet him at Yuxue Peak before the day when the three stars align.

Calculating the days, there are less than three days left until the day of the three stars alignment, but Lin Chuan still hasn't come.

The Elder counted on his fingers, sensed Tian Mang's great calamity, and knew Nuwa had arrived at Kunlun Mountain, hence he came to speak with Nuwa.

Nuwa said, "How can I help Tian Mang break free from the Demon Path?"

The Elder said, "Tian Mang succumbed to the Demon Path, his mind controlled by Pangu's Aura. Its power is immense, so even I find it challenging to deal with. Take this; it may temporarily restore his sanity. Whether he can escape the Demon Path depends on him."

After speaking, the Elder waved his right hand, and a small bottle appeared in his hand, which he tossed to Nuwa.

Nuwa reached out to catch it, hearing the Elder further say, "Inside is a God Calming Pill that can only temporarily suppress his sanity for three days."

"Then how can I find Tian Mang?" Nuwa asked the Elder.

The Elder said, "At the Destiny Assembly, Tian Mang might be in Jiangbei City, meeting with Ksitigarbha and Human King Fu Xi. You must find a way to get him to consume this God Calming Pill."

...

Hongyuan Building, Jiangbei City.

Chaos surrounded the building, with flashing police lights everywhere, and fully armed policemen all around.

Five hundred meters east of the building, Old Hu and several leaders were discussing strategies. They've been on-site for an hour but still didn't understand what was happening inside.

"Secretary Hu, why don't we send a few armed police inside to investigate?" suggested a deputy leader from the City Bureau, looking at Old Hu.

Old Hu frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "That might not work. Old Zhang and Captain Song are our best policemen in Jiangbei City; it's better to wait for their report."

Mayor Gu had already left at this time, and the injured people around had been evacuated to the hospital. She had gone to the hospital to visit those injured.

Old Hu also wanted to figure out the situation inside quickly, but he dared not act rashly.

Based on Liang Youfa's and the site investigation's findings, Old Hu was almost a hundred percent sure that the situation inside Hongyuan Building was far beyond what ordinary police could handle.

Previously, many strange cases occurred in Jiangbei City; without Lin Chuan's assistance, these cases might have been hard to solve.

That's why Old Hu believes that there are absolutely some incredible things in this world, or rather some things that science cannot explain.

He has already notified Lin Chuan by phone, and now he just needs to wait for Lin Chuan.

Inside the Hongyuan Building, Yaoji's pretty face was filled with anger at this moment. Fu Xi had intervened to stop her attack on Feng Lingfeng, which made her feel very angry.

Facing the man she once loved, now helping others bully her, how could she not feel furious?

Qin Peiling had been standing there all along, hardly saying a word, just watching coldly.

From Yaoji's previous performance, Qin Peiling seemed to sense that there were many misunderstandings between Fu Xi and Yaoji. Why not use these to provoke a conflict between them, so he could reap the benefits?

As another ruler of the infernal world, Qin Peiling not only had a very high level of cultivation, but his intelligence was also unmatched by ordinary people.

Regarding the grudges between Human King Fu Xi, Human Mother Nuwa, and Yaoji, Qin Peiling knew a little, and after pondering, he smiled slyly at Yaoji and said, "Yaoji, do you still recognize me?"

When Yaoji entered, she naturally saw Qin Peiling, the Master of Phantoms. Hearing his words, she looked at him with a trace of disgust in her eyes and coldly said, "Of course, I remember you. Our past grievances haven't been settled."

Zhang Wenhui was slightly stunned upon hearing this. It seemed there was history between Yaoji and Qin Peiling. What exactly were their grievances?

Qin Peiling, hearing Yaoji's words, laughed, "Yaoji, can't we let go of our past grievances and join forces to deal with this first?"

Yaoji's face displayed a charming smile as she reached out her fair right hand, gently stroking her long black hair, and said, "Master of Phantoms, they are here specifically to deal with you; why should I help you?"

Qin Peiling said, "Yaoji, look carefully. These people are not only after me, but they also seem to have irreconcilable enmity with you."

Yaoji giggled, extending her right arm, lightly swinging it as a soft gas spiraled towards Qin Peiling.

Qin Peiling's cultivation level was not much inferior to Yaoji's and immediately sensed the power released by Yaoji. He dodged swiftly, angrily saying, "Yaoji, what are you doing?"

Yaoji smiled coquettishly and said, "Master of Phantoms, you may have forgotten the events from centuries ago, but I haven't. Dream on if you think I'll cooperate with you."

With that, Yaoji turned her gaze to Feng Lingfeng and followed with, "Master Feng, your Tai Chi Sect is a branch passed down from the Quan Dao Sect; do you know how the Quan Dao Sect collapsed overnight back then?"

This question intrigued not only Feng Lingfeng, but also Lin Chuan, who couldn't help but shake his head.

Yaoji said, "The collapse of Quan Dao Sect overnight was all caused by him, Master of Phantoms."

Feng Lingfeng froze, saying, "Can you elaborate on the details?"

Qin Peiling's face was covered with a black cloth, hiding his expression, and he shouted loudly, "Yaoji, you vile woman, I am irreconcilable with you!"

After speaking, his body suddenly leaped up, transforming into a black gas mass, rushing towards Yaoji like a whirlwind.

Yaoji chuckled, her delicate jade hand drawing a beautiful arc in the air, then striking out naturally.

The arc she drew formed a fierce blue True Qi, attacking the black gas mass coming towards her.

When the black gas mass encountered Yaoji's blue True Qi, it emitted a "bang" as the energy scattered, forming a whirlwind.

Song Xiaojia, Feng Lingfeng, and others felt the scattered energy and quickly channeled their energy to defend.

The worst off was Zheng Nan; he was an ordinary person. Even though he was hiding in the far corner, he was still affected by the energy.

The energy struck his body, and Zheng Nan felt as if countless knives were piercing his body, making it impossible for him to catch his breath, causing him to feel dizzy and then knowing nothing.

The blue True Qi that Yaoji casually unleashed collided with the black gas mass of Qin Peiling, and Qin Peiling felt Yaoji's blue True Qi like a sharp blade attempting to penetrate his gas mass.

Qin Peiling raised his cultivation to the highest, thwarting Yaoji's attack, and roared, "Extreme Demon World."

After this loud roar, the entire hall suddenly plunged into darkness.

Zhang Wenhui's face changed, grabbing Lai Xiaole and Song Xiaojia, and said, "Quick, you two, get behind me."

Lai Xiaole and Song Xiaojia hurriedly hid behind Zhang Wenhui. Zhang Wenhui shook his arms and then placed them on his back. A faint golden hue emanated around him, enveloping Lai Xiaole and Song Xiaojia.

Meanwhile, Fu Xi also shouted loudly, stepping on the ground, and rising slowly.

Yaoji also had a change in her expression, shouted sweetly, and drew a circular arc in mid-air with both hands.

The circular arc formed a white protective shield, covering Yang Zi and others within.

In the dark hall, the air seemed to solidify, and the atmosphere became extraordinarily chilling.
