I did not cause the great heaven pillar.
The Gao Tian Cudu and Gao Tian Jian can instantly subdue the fox demon.
I incant a spell, my lips moving very quickly.
To a certain extent, the Chaoma Xian has a restraining effect on the orthodox Taoist priests. It is that it does not give the time to recite the spells.
The instantaneous palm thunder is a rare Taoist practice that is not subject to limitations.
When the fox demon touches me instantly, I push my palm out!
The red beam suddenly exploded in the fox demon, causing the fox demon to be thrown up and hit heavily in the corner of the yard.
The characteristic of the fox demon is that it is resistant to powerful positive and negative substances, making it difficult to inflict harm upon it. Therefore, in the next instant, the fox demon sprang up again and charged at me once more.
Simultaneously, another fox demon climbed onto Yong Yun's shoulder. She was muttering incantations, and when she shook her sleeves, three sticks of incense appeared on the ground, burning quietly.
Instantly, Yong Yun's overall aura changed. She slightly arched her body, crouched down, and looked like a wild cat.
The fox demon that had appeared before me earlier had now come to my front. I stepped forward, using the Buff Orb spell.
This is also a Taoist practice that can recite incantations while performing martial arts.
Happily, with every step, I avoided the fox demon's attacks and struck it with the other hand.
On the final step, I faced Liang Yun!
One palm, directly pushed towards Liang Yun's face!
At this moment, Liang Yun stood still without moving an inch, and her fair face was drenched with fine, tiny sweat.
My right palm came to a stop.
The air fell into a momentary silence.
Liang Yun stepped back three steps, her chest heaving rapidly. She patted it several times before finally calming down.
"Alright, you're stronger than me. Hmp, I can still protect Huaying at least."
"Don't treat my Huaying badly, otherwise I won't be able to beat you, and I'll call the Black Old Lady to beat you. She's very fond of me." Liang Yun had a touch of spoiled miss behavior from the beginning. It was even stronger when she mentioned the Black Old Lady.
"Your abilities are also quite impressive."
"Being able to engage in a match with me shows significant progress, and your rewards from this trip with Chang Xin are the greatest." I nodded slightly before saying, "It seems that the Liang family is not just a minor family, but will become a unique Taoist household. I can't help sighing."
Liang Yun detached herself from the upper body, with two fox demons hidden in her clothing, not showing any traces.
She shook off the dust from her body and said, "Just about, if it weren't for Chang Xin constantly begging me, I wouldn't have come. The Black Old Lady said that we have a karmic connection. Even if I didn't come to the Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, someone would find me, and it would still meet me."
Both Chang Xin and Liang Yun were sincerely devout.
No, the entire Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, the northern provinces of Taoist practitioners, are also devoted.
"The Black Old Lady, what kind of person is she?" I really couldn't suppress the astonishment in my heart.
"Character? The Black Old Lady isn't human, it's a bear." Liang Yun smiled and said, "Oh, it's normal that you don't know. When I first heard Chang Xin mention the Black Old Lady, I also thought she was just an old lady. I admired her very much. It's impressive for a woman to reach such a high position."
Liang Yun added, "The Black Old Lady is the most powerful spirit."
For a moment, I didn't know how to respond.
...not human.
It's a bear?
At this moment, Wu Jinlan walked out. He had clearly seen the fight between me and Liang Yun and had overheard our conversation as well.
"The deep mountains can become strange, and the deep forests have spirits. That makes sense and is quite normal." Wu Jinlan sighed.
Liang Yun didn't know Wu Jinlan, but she was more polite. She inclined her body and said, "Greetings to Mr. Wu."
Since she's here, Chang Xin must have already said everything she needed to.
"The people from the four guidelines mountain have come. The Black Old Lady has sent me to invite you," Liang Yun said, looking at me afterwards, speaking in a sweet voice.
So quickly?
It was only after a moment that I realized that it wasn't that fast. We were captured, and the Jiacha Mountain should have notified the Four Regulations Mountain to address the issue.
Up the mountain, with Wei Yuming's action plus the time for rest, it would take about three days. Without encountering Han Jing like this slow and steady driver, almost anywhere in the country can be reached.
I have contacted Mao You San and the people of the Dengxian Temple separately, but I have not contacted the Four Regulations Mountain.
Actually, I knew that Jiacha Mountain needed an explanation. After asking questions to Han Jin, if we got a reasonable explanation, we would be handed over to the people of the Four Regulations Mountain, which would be clean and tidy, avoiding causing trouble.
Following Liang Yun, we arrived at another grand hall. A kind and gentle old lady was enshrined here. She held a cane in one hand, sitting on a lotus throne with her hair bun and wearing black clothing.
Is this the image of the Black Old Lady?
There were a few people inside the hall.
The Iron Crag Mountain observatory chief with the bark mask, as well as Deputy Chief Liu Taixuan.
On the side, slightly lower down, there were three people from the Four Regulations Mountain: Si Yan with her veil, and the two people beside her, the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder of the Four Regulations Mountain.
Han Jin, sitting opposite.
However, Han Jin's face was still slightly iron-colored at the moment.
"Show your spirit!"
"Hahahaha, show your spirit." The Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder greeted me.
Silou nodded slightly and whispered, "Brother."
Liang Yun gave Silou a glance and sniffed.
"You girl, don't be impolite." Liu Taiyan quickly waved his hand, indicating for Liang Yun to come over.
It can be seen that Liang Yun is really loved.
Not only was Liang Yu personally pointed out by the Black Old Lady, but even in the presence of the Deputy and Chief Monks, Liang Yu did not mind trivial matters.
Liang Yun only then walked to the back of Liu Taiyan and the Iron Crag Mountain observatory chief, saying little but constantly scrutinizing Si Yan, showing both dissatisfaction and a bit of envy.
"The Iron Crag Mountain should thank the Four Regulations Mountain. The problem with the White Wolf Cave arose when the Iron Crag Mountain was at its weakest, both internally and externally. And internally, it's quite serious. But as to where this tumor is actually located, even the Black Old Lady has difficulty explaining it."
"Noble mountain's little uncle, you have helped us a great deal." The speaker was not Liu Taiyan but the Iron Crag Mountain observatory chief.
His attitude had completely changed.
When he pinned Han Jin to the ground, he wasn't like that.
When he captured me, he wasn't like that.
He didn't hurt us, but he was definitely very cold.
It was because of yesterday's crucial actions by Wei Youming.
He saved Bai Zhi, directly pointed out the internal problems of Iron Crag Mountain, and killed over twenty traitors.
"Wherever Sheng Shen goes, he can solve the trouble there. Haha, he is very upright. Our master brother loves him very much and treats him like his own son. In the future, Sheng Shen will also take charge of the Four Regulations Mountain." The Fourth Elder looked very pleased and proud.
They are completely unaware of the delicate relationship we had with the Iron Crag Mountain before.
"Yes, indeed." The Iron Crag Mountain observatory chief nodded slightly.
He looked at Han Jin and said, "You can rest for a while before leaving. In addition, this Han Deputy Chief has been targeted by a sect. They are called the Eight Houses."
"Perhaps, that group will rise again and target your Four Regulations Mountain."
"I saved Han Deputy Chief's life and rescued Luo Sheng Shen. So, the Iron Crag Mountain and Four Regulations Mountain have been settled in two ways."
Regarding the incident where Han Jin was pinned to the ground, the Iron Crag Mountain observatory chief did not mention it at all.
Han Jin also didn't say anything else.
"Eight Houses..." The Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder exchanged glances, all of them with a look on their faces that was far from good.
"I understand that the Eight Houses have annihilated the Juqu Mountain, and this has been leaked out. However, they don't have much ability. The Second Elder and the First Elder dare not make a move in front of me. The Four Regulations Mountain is well-defended, and with your master present, there should be no problem."
"I am just wondering why the Juqu Mountain was so defenseless against such a secluded sect. Where was their Sanmiao Zhenjun? Does the master not care about the mountain gate?"
The Iron Crag Mountain observatory chief shook his head slightly.
"This..." The Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder couldn't answer this question.
"Several years ago, the Juqu Mountain had come to the northern three provinces. Their master had once fought with several Black Old Ladies, and he had even created a Daoist skill because of it. But unexpectedly, they were wiped out, leaving behind only some remaining disciples who barely managed to keep going." The Iron Crag Mountain observatory chief sighed again.
"You have taken their medicine. This medicine cannot be eaten; if you do, trouble will ensue." I spoke in a deep voice.
"Mm?" The Iron Crag Mountain observatory chief's mask face was directed towards me.
"It's both medicine and poison. There are several people in the Lei Ping Daoist Temple who, in the past, we were unaware that the medicine had issues. We made them take it at their last moments. They were saved, but the medicine must be taken for life, otherwise, there will be agony of a wandering soul." I just finished speaking and my expression changed abruptly.
We and the Eight Houses sect are now completely estranged.
We gave the "corpse essence pills" and a batch of elixirs before. We also let Xian Dong Mountain be able to communicate with the Eight Houses sect, so they can continue to supply us with medicine, allowing Jin Lun and others to remain normal.
After this falling out, we also killed so many Eight Houses monks.
They will never give us medicine again in the future.
This isn't just a problem of the Eight Houses sect targeting the Four Regulations Mountain. It's also about Jin Lun and others being caught in the crossfire.
At this moment, the Iron Crag Mountain observatory chief's expression clearly changed.
His expression was obscured by the mask on his face, but he exuded an aura. His aura was heavy and slightly filled with anger. He tapped the side of his chair, producing a tingling sound that carried a hint of killing intent.
"You've already given them the medicine?" I asked again, my tone grave.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Liao Taiyan spoke, his face looking very ugly.
