Chapter 24: Suppressing the Monster Mountain lights were dim, and Changqing, who had been on duty all day, looked tired. He received visitors from various major sects one after another, and rejected their kindness one by one. He talked until his lips were dry, his tongue was dry, and he was exhausted and hungry. "Brother, I have delivered dinner to the seniors. You should take a rest. I will take over." A concerned voice sounded, and Zhuge Yu walked over slowly. His eyes were clear and he looked in good spirits, in stark contrast to the haggard Changqing. "Little Zhuge." Chang Qing smiled with relief. His whole body ached and his eyes were bloodshot from overwork. He had not had much rest since the day Quan Xing attacked the mountain until tonight. "Okay, I'll leave the second half of the night to you." "Senior Brother, you should go and have a rest." Zhuge Yu urged. Just as the two of them were handing over, the cold, dark forest was stirred by the wind, and a melodious, evil bell sound spread in the surrounding void and spread towards the mountain gate. "Cover your ears!"

Changqing's face suddenly changed, and the evil spirit mixed in the air was like a wandering ghost, howling wantonly and lingering around heaven and earth. "Another night attack by the Quan Xing demon?" Zhuge Yu's eyes were filled with anger, and he could not help but angrily said: "You've come just in time, I'll go ask my uncle to kill this beast!" "Crash-!" Weird footsteps were heard in the woods. Dense white figures kept appearing. They were actually paper figures with bloodshot eyes, distorted facial features, weird expressions, and a large number of runes carved on their limbs and hands and feet, making them look like living things. Among nearly a hundred paper figures, a figure with blood-stained clothes like flames took the leading position. She moved forward with a knife in hand, climbing along the stone steps. Wherever she passed, the stone slabs collapsed and shattered into spider web shapes. The ferocious paper puppet behind her followed. "Quan Xing. Gu Ying?!" Chang Qing's eyes flashed coldly, and the tiredness in his body faded away instantly. He used his skills and entered the second level of reverse rebirth. His hair turned white, and he was ready to intercept. "Little Zhuge, go tell your uncle!" He recognized the woman opposite him. Her name was Gu Ying, the twin sister of Quan Xing Liu Xie 'Gu Yu'. She was good at origami and had master-level attainments in martial arts. She was very powerful. "I'm dragging her here." When saying this, Chang Qing felt a lot of pressure. Even though he had the mysterious skills to protect him, he still shuddered when facing the fierce murderous aura. Zhuge Yu obeyed the instructions and just turned around, he saw Jiang Mo and Lu Jin walking towards him. He quickly asked: "Uncle Master! A monster is attacking the mountain. Please take action with thunder and kill it." "Ah." Jiang Mo arrived at the mountain gate, side by side with the three people. He looked down at the thousands of steps. Those paper puppets, controlled by the swaying and rapid sound of bells, became manic, like a tide of out-of-control beasts, rushing around recklessly. "Xiao Lu, Xiao Zhuge, Changqing."

Jiang Mo called out softly. "Disciple is here!" the three said in unison. Looking at the blood shadow a hundred meters away, Jiang Mo walked down the stairs with his back to them, unafraid of the threat from the paper puppet. "Do you want to see the demon captured alive, or killed on the spot?" Before the other two could reply, Zhuge Yu thought of his junior fellow apprentice who had died in battle the night before, clenched his fists, and looked angry: "Uncle Master, Sanyi and Quan Xing are sworn enemies. Just kill him to avoid more trouble." After the words were spoken, Lu Jin and Chang Qing had no objection. "Kill him." On the steps, Jiang Mo stretched his muscles and bones, and a cloud-like white energy overflowed from his body. In just a moment, his hair turned blazing white, his muscles were icy, and his whole body exuded a majesty like the sun falling to the earth. "Roar--!" Those paper puppets raised their heads and screamed. The evil sound of bells in the air was like a dark invisible hand, frantically teasing Jiang Mo's five senses and seven emotions and six desires. Lu Jin felt as if his internal organs were churning, his head was exploding, his legs and feet were trembling, and he almost fell down. Chang Qing held him and warned him: "That's the method of the witch. Use Qi to protect your earlobes to avoid being affected." "If I remember correctly, my master mentioned it before. This thing is a lost secret technique in the Northern Desert. Once hypnotized, you will lose consciousness and your five senses and become a disabled person!" Hearing his analysis, Lu Jin showed fear and immediately used his Qi to seal his earlobes. "boom_!" The next moment, a blazing silver light that illuminated the night bloomed behind Jiang Mo. One after another, Qi-transformed chains fell from great heights like a roaring tsunami. "Bang!!!" The paper puppets that broke through the mountains had runes on their bodies and were as hard as rocks. They were pierced by chains one after another, and the high temperature caused them to scream miserably, with their bodies rotting and charred. Gu Ying walked up the stone steps, his face solemn but unwavering. She gripped the long knife tightly and tore a pack of medicine paper with her left hand. Several hideous and ugly centipedes were wriggling inside and smeared them on the blade. In an instant, the centipede was cut by the blade, and its flesh and blood quickly withered and turned into granular powder, and then turned into a special membrane layer, clinging to the blade. Nearly a hundred burning paper puppets fell down like straw, and the ashes scattered. Gu Ying walked past the puppet corpses that she had carefully woven in the past, looking up at the sky full of blazing silver chains with an expressionless face. For the first time, she felt a terrible feeling of suffocation. The young man guarding the mountain gate, with his white hair flying, looked like an immortal left behind on earth; The Qi radiated from this body alone illuminated the more than a thousand dim stone steps leading to the Taoist palace like a silver ocean. With every move he made, it seemed as if he was connected to the will of the entire world. Witnessing this shocking scene, Changqing and his companions were shaking with excitement. "Trinity Gate." Gu Ying's voice was cold and stern. The moment she looked into the young man's eyes, her sharp intuition made her understand everything. The deaths of the three evil spirits of Quan Xing and even Old Ghost Zhao may be related to this person.

The scene before him seemed like a myth reenacted. The young man standing in front of the Taoist palace had an indifferent expression, as if he was about to fly into the sky. Gu Ying took a deep breath, her skin tensed all over, and the blood in her body began to burn, soaring rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The unprecedented oppression made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave. If her loved ones had not died and she had no way to retreat, she would never fight with a monster of this level. "Wow——!" The black and deep evil spirit poured out from Gu Ying's body, and a bright red blood-red arc mark appeared between his eyebrows. The surrounding environment, the blowing wind, the splashing dust, all suddenly slowed down several times. "boom!" The exploding black energy attacked all the way. Gu Ying was furious, holding an evil knife in his hand, fighting fiercely with nearly a hundred chains. "clang!" She looked like a ghost, with many afterimages. She was on the brink of death, doing her best to dodge, not daring to have any distracting thoughts. If she was not careful, she would be hit by the chains and would surely die! "escape?" His eyes locked on the embarrassed figure, Jiang Mo raised a playful smile at the corner of his lips. "boom!!" The speed of the chains suddenly increased, sweeping from all directions. Gu Ying, who was in a desperate situation, swung the black knife angrily, and dozens of dark purple blade lights burst out, but he could not shake the chains. Instead, at the moment the blades made contact, the chain bounced slightly away as if it had encountered an old enemy. At the same time, the special film covering the black knife also became thinner. Before she could recover, Jiang Mo lightly raised his right hand, a red-gold path appeared in his eyes, and the void roared. "This is a very important place in Xuanmen. Now that we are here, we should make the best of it." With the blessing of the Trinity True Method, the omnipresent cloud and sky energy was manipulated by him at will, transforming into a transparent giant hand that covered the sky and fell towards the location of the Quanxing demon girl. "boom!!!" The already dilapidated mountain road was destroyed in an instant. The huge palm print hit Guying right in the middle. She was covered in blood and looked like a madman. She struggled desperately and let out a shrill roar. The black knife broke into pieces, and the attached poison membrane disappeared in an instant. Without the blessing of the magic weapon, Gu Ying could not withstand the huge force of shaking the mountain. His bones were broken and blood was dripping. (End of this chapter)
