The three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Today's Zhang Ke is like a steel needle hidden in cotton, his sharp edge is restrained and concealed.
It's impossible to deal with him softly, and it's even more impossible to deal with him hard.
For the current plan, we can only rely on the opinions and plans of the sect.
Fortunately, the wait was not too long. In the middle of the night, Lord Yunhe of the 'Vajra Sect' had quietly arrived at the City of the Rising Sun.
Qingzhou is far away from Qiongzhou by thousands of mountains and rivers. Except for Zhenjun Yunhe, who is the fastest person in the sect, no one else can get here within a few hours.
True Lord Yunqi asked True Lord Yunhe carefully and then breathed a sigh of relief.
The opinions of the sect coincided with his, and they all decided to act according to Zhenjun Ruyi's plan.
However, some details need to be changed.
Time was running out, and the night would be long and dreamy. True Lord Yunqi didn't care that it was midnight and directly woke Zhang Ke up with his spiritual thoughts.
Still on the ninth floor of the 'Guanri House', Zhang Ke and Zhenjun Yunqi were sitting across from each other.
True Lord Yunqi said bluntly:
"The headmaster of our sect has sent back an order, and this matter will be carried out according to the wishes of fellow Taoist Ruyi.
But how can fellow Taoists ensure that this matter goes smoothly?"
Zhang Ke took out a shadow bead and activated it, then hung it in front of him.
He gave birth to three fingers and swore:
"The mastermind behind the opening of the 'Gate of Hell' under the City of Sunrise is the 'Life and Death Sect' in Qingzhou, and its true intention is to control the authority of the White Bone Plains.
This matter was personally planned and implemented by the leader of the "Life and Death Impermanence Sect", Han Quan Zhenjun. This statement came from the mouth of the "King Kong Sect" Yunshui Zhenjun.
However, during the implementation of the plan, there was a fierce conflict with the netherworld creatures in the Plain of Bones.
In the end, the 'Obelisk' that suppressed the formation was damaged, and the 'Gate of Hell' was opened, resulting in the death of 200,000 people.
Pindao's 'Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong' is as he wishes, and I swear to Heaven here that not a word of what I say is false."
After saying that, Zhang Ke flicked the shadow beads into the tea cup on the table.
He looked at Zhenjun Yunqi with a smile and said:
"Is it okay for a poor Taoist to talk like this?"
Zhenjun Yunqi was a little speechless. Zhang Ke did not take the 'Vajra Sect' out of this matter at all.
Although he was a little dissatisfied, he also knew that under the oath of heaven, Zhang Ke had done his best by not directly involving the 'Vajra Sect'.
Zhenjun Yunqi took out a jade box from himself and opened it. In the box covered with gold velvet, there was a palm-sized, golden and exquisite bell.
"This is the ninth-grade innate spiritual treasure [Sound Transmitting Bell]. By using this to transmit sound, its sound can be spread to any corner of this world."
Zhang Ke was stunned for a moment, then said with a half-smile:
"Then what's the use of this thing?"
Zhenjun Yunqi's face turned slightly red.
It sounds like spreading your voice throughout the world is very useful, but in fact it is extremely useless.
This treasure is the only treasure in the sect that no one wants to touch, at least he can't figure out how to use it.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Ke closed the jade box and put it away.
With a flick of his right sleeve, three thumb-sized talisman beads and a shadow bead fell into the tea cup on the table.
"Ding! Ding! Ding..."
The five beads in the tea cup rotate and collide, making a crisp sound.
Zhang Ke stood up and cupped his hands:
"Since your sect has made a decision, I will not disturb you anymore and take my leave!"
With that said, he stood up and walked out.
True Lord Yunqi looked at his back and suddenly said:
"The fact that the 'Life and Death Impermanence Sect' intends to control the Plains of Bones should be discovered jointly by our sect and fellow Taoists."
Zhang Ke didn't turn around, he just said something casually.
"Can!"
Don’t you, Lord Ruyi, want to jump out of this mud pit? I will pull you in now to advance and retreat together with me.
Even if you become really strong in the future, you won't be able to use this matter to gain control over our sect.
The intention of Zhenjun Yunqi's words was very obvious, but Zhang Ke agreed casually, which inevitably made Zhenjun Yunqi feel a little frustrated.
Could it be that his actions were expected by Zhenjun Ruyi?
After Zhang Ke left, Zhenjun Yunqi focused his attention on the five beads in the tea cup.
There are two shadow beads, one of which is the representation of the ‘Impermanence of Life and Death Sect’ and the ‘Vajra Sect’ in the ‘Yin Yang Temple’.
The other one recorded the vows Zhang Ke had made before.
The three talisman beads are unusual. They are actually the seals of the three Five Qi Realm Yuanshen True Lords of the ‘Impermanent Life and Death Sect’.
Zhenjun Yunqi and the other four people were secretly shocked that Zhenjun Ruyi could actually seal Zhenjun Yuanshen in this small bead.
How strong is he?
After a while, True Lord Yunqi put away all five beads and handed them to True Lord Yunhe, and solemnly said:
"Junior brother, go back to the mountain immediately and inform the master of what happened here. The sooner the better!"
True Lord Yunhe took the five beads and put them away.
He knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to neglect it at all. With a shake of his shoulders, he turned into a cloud-piercing white crane and flashed in the void.
True Lord Liuwu asked True Lord Yunqi:
"Senior brother, what should we do next?"
True Lord Yunqi said solemnly:
"The 'Life and Death Impermanence Sect' should not be underestimated. We will also go back to help and we will definitely destroy this sect in one fell swoop."
True Lord Liuwu moved his mouth but did not express the doubts in his heart.
'Since all the evidence has fallen into my own hands, can I keep this matter in the dark?'
Suddenly, Zhenjun Yunqi's voice came to my ears.
"The 'Impermanent Life and Death Sect' must be eradicated. This is not only Zhang Ke's intention, but also the will of many high-ranking sects."
True Lord Yunqi seemed to have guessed what True Lord Liuwu was thinking, and continued:
"The leader wrote a letter saying that only high-ranking sects can control the power of the 'Netherworld', and there are many secrets involved in it.
The 'Life and Death Impermanence Sect' actually dared to lie and conceal this matter to our sect, and they will be killed without mercy."
When True Lord Liuwu heard this, his heart moved and he hesitated:
"Senior brother, could it be that Zhenjun Ruyi also realized this and designed it like this on purpose?"
True Lord Yunqi was silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"I'm afraid only Zhenjun Ruyi knows this."
Lord Liuwu felt a little heavy in his heart.
This Ruyi Zhenjun behaves like he is in a mist. You never know how much he hides behind his back.
"Since I can't think clearly, I won't think about it anymore. The top priority now is to destroy the 'Impermanence of Life and Death Sect' to avoid future troubles."
"Okay, senior brother!"
...
Two days later, a piece of news suddenly spread across the blue world like the wind.
The "Impermanent Life and Death Sect" opened the "Gate of Hell" in the Sunrise City of Qiongzhou, causing countless ghostly creatures to descend into the "human world", and 200,000 people lost their lives.
In addition, there are rumors that the "Impermanence of Life and Death Sect" is trying to open up the "nether world" and the "human world", turning the world into a ghost.
Fortunately, the "King Kong Sect" Yunchi Zhenjun and others and the "Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong" Ruyi Zhenjun discovered the conspiracy.
After a fight, all nine Yuanshen True Monarchs of the "Impermanent Life and Death Sect" who tried to destroy the passage between the two worlds were killed, thereby preventing a catastrophe.
As soon as this rumor spread, it immediately caused an uproar in the spiritual practice community in the Azure Realm.
Even Zhang Ke's photo-taking beads have been burned and spread throughout the world.
Immediately afterwards, the 'King Kong Sect' announced to the world that the 'Life and Death Wuchang Sect' was a member of the Qingzhou Sect, and as the head of the Qingzhou Sect, the 'King Kong Sect' should clean up the Qingzhou customs.
Before the monks in the world could react, all the monks from the 'Vajra Sect' had already launched an attack on 'Ailao Mountain' where the 'Impermanent Life and Death Sect' was based.
When this news reached Zhang Ke's ears, it was already several days later.
He had no intention of getting involved in what was happening outside. The 'Vajra Sect' was a top-grade sect, and there would be no surprises in dealing with a mid-grade sect by surprise.
However, just in case, Zhang Ke stayed in the City of the Rising Sun and deduced various rules and orders of the Plain of Bones with peace of mind, as well as the construction of the 'Great Millstone of the Void' formation.
The order of heaven has its own operating system that conforms to the laws of nature. If there is anything inappropriate, it will be corrected spontaneously.
There isn't much Zhang Ke can do, but he can use the power of heaven to strengthen or weaken these rules.
He had previously created the sun, moon, and thunder calamity on the Plain of Bones, which was as far as his authority could go.
There are only three things he has to do now.
First, establish a complete ‘underworld’ operating system.
Second, build the ‘Great Millstone of the Void’ to strengthen the defense capabilities of the Bone Plains.
Third, guide many netherworld creatures to enter the six paths of reincarnation.
The 'underworld' system and the guidance of ghost souls in the afterlife are complementary to each other. This can be completed by the ghost soul, and it may take decades or hundreds of years to develop.
However, deducing formations was Zhang Ke's strength, so he found a quiet room to concentrate on deriving the secrets of the 'Mopan' formation.
This time, Zhang Ke wanted to integrate four special powers of 'Xi soil', 'Weak water', 'Nine Nether Scattering Soul Wind' and 'Red Lotus Karmic Fire' into this formation.
It just so happens that the 'Earth, Water, Fire and Wind' perfectly matches the 'Bagua Formation'. If this formation can be perfected here, the power of the 'Innate Qi Great Capture' can also be enhanced.
Half a month later.
In the evening of that day, Zhang Ke felt that the general framework of this formation had been initially completed, so he prepared to go to the Plain of Bones to have a handover with the soul.
Thinking that the method of 'spirit travel' had not been used before, Zhang Ke decided to try the mystery of this magical power today.
First, thirty-six protective formations were arranged in the quiet room to ensure the safety of the physical body after the soul left the body.
Even so, he was still a little worried, and he felt at ease only after using the 'Hunyuan Umbrella' to protect his left and right sides.
At this moment, Zhang Ke suddenly discovered the role of Yan Feier and others. If they were watching over him, he would naturally not need to be so cautious.
It's a pity that Yan Fei'er and Gouhun are working in the Plains of Bones, while Wanxiang is fighting against the Zerg in the void.
There is no one to protect him.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why Kaka was hidden in the giant's body in the first place. In addition to his own cultivation needs, the giant's powerful body was a natural defense.
'Should we summon the little fat man?'
An idea flashed through Zhang Ke's mind, but then he gave up.
After the soul leaves the body, the physical body is in a defenseless state, and only the most trusting people can protect it. The Dharma Giant is still wild, but he cannot trust him.
'It seems that at the critical moment, you are the only one you can rely on!'
Zhang Ke thought secretly for a moment, turned his right hand, and a dark golden Rubik's Cube appeared in his palm.
With a thought in my mind, I twisted the Rubik's Cube a few times, and the little peacock "Nannan" appeared, and flew to Zhang Ke's shoulder with a "chirp" sound.
The small body rubbed Zhang Ke's cheek affectionately, and his screams were extremely joyful.
‘Nannan’ is the spirit that Zhang Ke points out from the natal talisman using the technique of ‘initiation’.
But Zhang Ke has rarely let it come out. One reason is to suppress the eighty-eight Zerg leaders sleeping in the 'secret realm of mortals' in the natal talisman.
Secondly, it is also because Zhang Ke rarely needs it to help him fight.
Seeing the little peacock looking happy to see him, Zhang Ke felt a little guilty.
After playing with 'Nanny' for a while, Zhang Ke held its beautiful tail feathers and put it aside.
He took out two oil lamps and calculated the amount of oil. After adjusting the scale, he lit them and placed them on both sides of his shoulders in front of the couch.
Then he took the incense burner above his head and lit a stick of incense one foot and two inches long.
This incense stick is called "soul-guarding incense". Its fragrance can protect the soul and determine the time.
He closed his eyes, put on his clothes, lay on his back, concentrated his energy and concentrated his mind, and followed the rules of 'fugue'.
The little peacock ‘Nanny’ lay obediently in front of Zhang Ke’s pillow, looking at him intently.
It was seen that Zhang Ke's breathing was slightly rapid and his chest was rising and falling. After a while, his breathing became steady.
After a few more seconds, Zhang Ke suddenly let out a long breath, and his chest slowly sank, as if all the breath in his body was exhaled.
The oil lamp above his head suddenly flickered in the wind, and Zhang Ke lost his breath.
