Latest website: bixiashenghua Mo Qing again chatted a few sentences with Cheng Mo, telling him to recuperate safely, and then returned to his disciple’s residence. He secretly took out that small section of the demon cultivator’s arm again.

This arm carried a bit of demonic energy, which according to sect rules, could not be brought into the sect.

However, Mo Qing told Elder Song the whole story, so it was considered as having passed the “clear path” with Elder Song.

Although Elder Song did not know what Mo Qing wanted this arm for, this item itself was considered a “trophy” from Mo Qing and the others defeating the demon cultivator.

Mo Qing said it would be useful to keep it. Elder Song hesitated for a moment, then gave it back to Mo Qing.

Although there was still residual demonic energy on this section of the demon cultivator’s arm, it was already extremely faint.

Even giving it to Mo Qing would not cause much harm.

Moreover, Mo Qing was Old Mr. Xun’s valued disciple.

With Old Mr. Xun’s “backing,” as long as Mo Qing’s requests were not particularly excessive, he would just turn a blind eye.

Mo Qing expressed his thanks to Elder Song, returned to his disciple’s residence, and began to study.

He first found some spiritual medicine and soaked the arm in it to wash away the bloodstains, as well as the fine fragmented sword pieces and metal-element sword energy remaining after the explosion of the Broken Gold Sword Array.

This spiritual medicine was specially prepared for him by a “junior brother” proficient in alchemy.

After being washed clean, the bloody color on the arm faded, revealing the original flesh color.

On the skin, various array patterns also became visible.

These array patterns were ancient and simple, yet carried a demonic strangeness. They seemed to be of quite ancient inheritance, but their structural core carried some primitive barbaric aura.

These were Four Symbols array patterns!

Moreover, upon careful distinction, it could be found that these Four Symbols array patterns were like pictographs, imitating walking beasts.

The stroke bodies resembled demon backs, the stroke tips resembled claws and teeth, and the shapes were similar to wolf patterns.

It looked like the Four Symbols Wolf Patterns Array.

Mo Qing concentrated and examined it, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

This was not the first time he had seen Four Symbols array patterns.

He had seen similar array patterns on the bald head of that bald eagle before.

Similarly, Old Mr. Xun had also taught him basic Four Symbols array patterns.

But these two were completely different.

The array patterns taught by Old Mr. Xun were upright and grand, true “beast patterns.”

While the array patterns on the bald eagle’s head and this demon cultivator’s arm were obviously from another lineage.

The system was different, the patterns resembled demons, and were more like “demon patterns.”

In the Four Symbols array methods, beast patterns and demon patterns obviously had similar origins.

But what specific origins, and which was orthodox, beast patterns or demon patterns, Mo Qing could not say for sure.

After all, he knew very little about Four Symbols array methods, only having heard some origins of Four Symbols array methods from Old Mr. Xun.

Four Symbols array methods originated from the barbaric tribe cultivators in the barbaric lands south of Jiuzhou. They were ancestral array methods passed down through generations.

Barbaric lands…

Mo Qing’s thoughts stirred slightly. He quickly recalled everything he had seen and heard after entering Qianxuezhou…

He had previously conducted array pattern comparisons through derivation and deduced that the Four Symbols Demon Patterns Array should have come from “Mr. Tu.”

And Mr. Tu believed in the sheep-horned evil god named “Lord of the Great Wilderness.” This great wilderness should refer to the three thousand barbaric great mountains.

Four Symbols array methods originated from the barbaric tribe cultivators in the barbaric lands.

The sheep-horned evil god was the evil god of the great wilderness.

Then, does this mean that these Four Symbols array methods were originally “inherited” from the evil god’s hometown?

These demon cultivators bearing the Four Symbols array methods were also minions of the great wilderness evil god?

“If that’s the case, what are these demon cultivators hiding in Lianyaoshan for?”

Mo Qing had some vague guesses in his heart, but no matter how he thought about it, he still couldn’t grasp the key points.

He then recalled every detail of Lianyaoshan again and suddenly felt a jolt:

“Demonic beasts!”

Up to now, the demonic beasts he had encountered in Lianyaoshan, although their types were rare and many were the first time he had seen them, were mysteriously, always subtly familiar.

The pig-headed demon that Ju Jin Men robbed him of the first time.

The blood charm fox that the demon cultivator robbed.

And other ordinary wolf demons, snake demons, cow-horse demonic beasts…

These were all somewhat similar to the demonic evils he had chopped, killed, and “eaten” while opposing the evil god along the way.

Especially the huge pig-headed demon, and a demonic creature with a pink body, half fox and half female, which could cast charm spells.

He had even ordered and “eaten” them when he used the altar to “order food” before.

Demonic evils, half human and half demon, blood refined into demons.

The demonic evils under the great wilderness evil god were composed of ferocious bloody limbs, half human and half demon.

The human limbs came from those trafficked, exterminated, slaughtered, and dismembered cultivators.

Then, most of the “demon” limbs of these demonic evils came from…

Lianyaoshan?!

A chill ran through Mo Qing’s heart.

Then, does this mean that Lianyaoshan is a “farming mountain” in the great wilderness evil god’s plot to sacrifice and refine the demonic evil army?

“Not only that…”

Mo Qing frowned.

If the demonic beast materials for blood refining demonic evils mostly came from Lianyaoshan, then the demon cultivators who became the evil god’s minions must be numerous.

Moreover, relying on demon cultivators alone is definitely not enough.

Demon cultivators can at most only hunt demonic beasts.

This whole process must also require people to help transport, dismember, sacrifice, refine, etc…

And most importantly, it is to conceal it.

It cannot be discovered by anyone.

Mo Qing again thought of that vast and dead silent dense forest, integrated with divine path array methods, where no aura could be distinguished by divine sense, and a chill surged in his heart.

In that seemingly ordinary mountain forest, perhaps secrets more terrifying than he had imagined were hidden…

“Besides demon cultivators, who else is helping the evil god?”

Mo Qing only pondered for a moment before he had some guesses in his heart.

Ju Jin Men…

That fat pig-headed demon was indeed robbed by Ju Jin Men.

At that time, he only thought that Ju Jin Men’s nature was despicable and shameless, and their behavior was always like this, liking to rob other people’s things.

Of course, Ju Jin Men was indeed despicable and shameless, and also indeed liked to rob other people’s things.

But now upon careful thought, there might be other tricks hidden within.

Moreover, after Ju Jin Men suffered losses, they actually honestly stopped their actions and no longer raised disputes with Taixu Gate.

This was indeed not Ju Jin Men’s style.

Looking at it now, they stopped their actions perhaps to prevent some conspiracy from being discovered, so they had to endure for a while and act low-key.

This secret was perhaps exactly…

Ju Jin Men is helping the evil god hunt demonic beasts and sacrifice and refine demonic evils!

Mo Qing was shocked in his heart and immediately became even more puzzled.

Where did Ju Jin Men get such great audacity?

Are they not afraid that the Dao Court will hold them accountable, sever their dao lineage, destroy their foundation, seal their inheritance, and erase their name?

And… to what extent did Ju Jin Men participate in this matter?

Did they participate from top to bottom?

Or only a small part of the disciples, or did family factions secretly plot?

Does Ju Jin Men’s sect master know or not?

And their old ancestors in seclusion?

Moreover, do they really know what they are doing?

The great wilderness evil god, but an abandoned divine path, a truly powerful evil god…

This is not merely a problem of “conspiring with tigers.”

In the eyes of the evil god, it is feared that all things are like dogs, and people are fundamentally not considered “people.”

Are they not afraid of being calculated by the evil god, and themselves becoming puppets or sacrifices of the evil god, dying ten thousand times without transcendence?

Mo Qing shook his head, sighing in his heart.

These people fundamentally do not know the terror of the evil god!

If he had not “eaten” a few divine skeletons and incarnations of evil gods, he would not have known either.

To ordinary cultivators, especially those who do not cultivate divine sense, the evil god is a true “taboo,” a great fear that cannot be seen, cannot be known, and cannot be fought against…

Mo Qing understood this point clearly.

But matters concerning the evil god are not good to tell others.

The heavenly secrets involved are too vast.

Firstly, if he speaks out, others may not believe him.

Secondly, disaster comes from the mouth. Once spoken, if known by those with malicious intentions, it is feared that it will incur great karma and bring trouble to himself.

Moreover, matters concerning the evil god involve too many secrets, including heavenly secrets derivation, strange calculations of heavenly secrets, Lord Huangshan, divine studies, divine sense proving the dao, divine sense devouring… and so on.

He simply cannot explain clearly.

So, it is better to avoid trouble.

Moreover, there are so many great powers among cultivators in Qianxuezhou, and there is no need for him, a small cultivator, to worry about everything.

He should do his own thing well.

Mo Qing pondered for a while, considering what he should do next.

First, the secrets of Lianyaoshan, concerning the evil god, he definitely has to investigate a bit.

He can disrupt the evil god’s conspiracy if possible.

Even if he does not mention the evil god’s matters outwardly, he still has to expose Ju Jin Men’s true nature, lest they do more bad things.

And the altar…

He does not know if there is an altar of the evil god inside Lianyaoshan.

If there is, that is a “big meal,” which he absolutely cannot miss.

Second, he has to catch a few demon cultivators and strip off the Four Symbols array methods on their bodies to research.

Lastly, there is the divine path array method.

The divine path array method contains the power of divine sense and has restraining power against divine beings.

Not long from now, he may directly face the evil god or some powerful evils. The divine path array method must also be learned.

But now the evil god’s conspiracy is deep and unfathomable, and not easy to spy on.

The demon cultivators are too strong and not easy to catch.

Only the divine path array method, which is just laid in the mountain forest and will not run or move, seems “within reach” instead.

But Mo Qing also did not dare to enter that mysterious mountain forest too much.

No one knows what he will encounter in the mountain forest.

If he encounters a large group of demon cultivators or Golden Core realm evil cultivators, that will be the end of him.

It is best if he can find a bodyguard.

But where is a bodyguard so easy to find?

Mo Qing thought of Gu Changhuai and immediately shook his head.

“Unfortunately…”

Uncle Gu is not a sect cultivator and cannot enter Lianyaoshan.

Otherwise, with him as backup, he could rest assured and go to the forest in Lianyaoshan to “pick vegetables.”

He needs a Golden Core cultivator, who is also a sect cultivator, and can enter Lianyaoshan.

With these several requirements, there is almost no one.

Mo Qing let out a long sigh.

But this sigh was halfway through when he was suddenly stunned.

A figure, and that familiar aura, re-emerged from Mo Qing’s memory.

Mo Qing frowned.

He remembered that the first time he entered Lianyaoshan, he seemed to have detected that someone was spying on him.

Later, when hunting demons in Lianyaoshan, he also often had this feeling.

When he derived Song Jian’s sword energy and deduced the Broken Gold Sword Array, this feeling was strongest.

Originally, Mo Qing thought this was his illusion.

Until later, he encountered that elder named “Xun Ziyou” at Old Mr. Xun’s door…

Xun Ziyou was Old Mr. Xun’s descendant.

When he saw himself, his expression obviously had a moment of guilt.

When he spoke with himself, although there was a sense of unfamiliarity, his gaze seemed very familiar.

Moreover, Mo Qing always felt as if he had met his body aura before.

Now, stringing all these together, Mo Qing gradually understood.

“Perhaps this bodyguard does not need to be specially found?”

Mo Qing’s expression paused slightly, and he murmured in a low voice:

“Perhaps it’s possible… I myself have a ‘bodyguard’?”

Lianyaoshan, deep in the dense forest.

A dark place without light, an invisible place.

A demon cultivator with a broken arm, mutilated in half his body, half walking and half crawling, arrived in a sorry state at a mountain valley.

He took out a white bone and lit it with a阴green flame.

The gloomy demonic energy, emitting green light, slowly rose.

The demon cultivator waited in place.

After a while, there were heavy footsteps, and a tall figure in black, who appeared out of nowhere, slowly walked over.

“What happened?”

The black-clothed person’s voice was muffled and ice cold.

“I…” the demon cultivator’s breath was intermittent, “went to capture a blood charm fox on orders. Who knew that halfway there, I was intercepted by several sect disciples.”

“Blood charm foxes are rare. I spent a month to find this one.”

“Originally, I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. I only needed to benefit from the fisherman’s gain, take advantage of the fight between the two sides, and just rob this demonic beast.”

“But… I…”

The demon cultivator’s face suddenly paled, “My demon patterns had a problem, demonic power reversed flow, impacting my sea of consciousness, and my divine sense was also dizzy for a while.”

“After that, I don’t know what happened. I only vaguely remember that I seemed to have robbed the demonic beast and almost killed a disciple, and then I was found out by that disciple’s fellow sect member.”

The black-clothed person frowned, “What realm?”

The demon cultivator said in a low voice: “Foundation Building mid-stage.”

The black-clothed person let out a cold laugh, “You are at the late stage of Foundation Building, have cultivated demonic arts, and painted demon patterns, and you can’t deal with several Foundation Building mid-stage sect disciples? Can you be more useless?”

The demon cultivator’s expression was panicked, and he hurriedly explained:

“Don’t blame me, only blame those disciples, who were too strange.”

“Which sect are they from?”

“They didn’t wear sect robes, and their methods were varied, using sword methods, spells, array methods, everything. I couldn’t see it for a moment…”

The black-clothed person became increasingly impatient.

Fighting with people, and not even being able to see the details of others.

Indeed, cultivating demonic arts has ruined his brain.

“What sword methods and array methods were used?”

The demon cultivator said: “There was a fire-element sword method. Although the power was not bad, it was not too troublesome.”

“The spells were water-element, very disgusting…”

“Too many array methods were laid, and their power was extremely strong, only… I am completely ignorant of array methods and cannot distinguish them…”

“Besides that, there was a sword cultivator disciple, with eyebrows like swords and an extremely strong aura, carrying a moon-white long sword, whose sword energy was incomparably sharp, fundamentally not like a Foundation Building mid-stage disciple…”

Upon hearing this, the black-clothed person’s pupils shrank.

“Moon-white long sword, sharp sword energy… Chongxu Gate…”

The name of a Chongxu Gate sword dao genius floated in his mind.

The black-clothed person’s gaze condensed as he looked at the demon cultivator and asked: “Were you exactly injured by this sword cultivator disciple?”

“No, not…” The demon cultivator’s heart was still fearful, terror in his eyes, “I was injured by… Broken Gold Sword Qi!”

Upon saying this, the black-clothed person immediately scolded angrily:

“Nonsense!”

His gaze was ice cold, “How could you possibly be injured by Broken Gold Sword Qi?”

“Really…” The demon cultivator’s voice trembled, “Moreover, it wasn’t just general Broken Gold Sword Qi, it was imperial sword! It was with orthodox, powerful ‘Broken Gold Imperial Sword Art,’ controlling a spiritual sword from at least a hundred and sixty zhang away, a remote sword strike that broke my arm and almost took my life!”

The demon cultivator was both angry and deeply fearful.

The black-clothed person’s gaze was like swords as he swept over the demon cultivator’s wound. Indeed, he saw the sharp Broken Gold Sword Qi on the wound. His face was like frost for a moment, and he asked in a deep voice:

“Who imperialized the sword?”

The demon cultivator shook his head, “I don’t know, but it was absolutely not those several sect disciples…”

“An imperial sword distance of a hundred and sixty zhang outside, such powerful sword dao power, at least requires a Foundation Building peak, or even an early Golden Core stage to master the imperial sword technique.”

“Those several sect disciples, they are not qualified.”

“Moreover, I fought with them. Among those five people, none cultivated the Broken Gold Imperial Sword Art.”

“Therefore, this person who intended to kill me with an imperial sword must be a sword dao expert hiding in the dark and secretly launching a sneak attack!”

“And this person has not only cultivated the Broken Gold Sword Art, but also cultivated the most orthodox, most skillful imperial sword technique of Ju Jin Men!”

The demon cultivator’s voice carried a chill.

The black-clothed person’s face sank like water, “Your meaning is…”

The demon cultivator lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: “Song family!”

The black-clothed person’s gaze suddenly turned ferocious.

The demon cultivator braced himself and insisted: “Only this explanation.”

What the Song family cultivated was the orthodox Broken Gold Imperial Sword Art.

The Song family had always been enemies with the Jin family.

The Song family understood the Jin family the deepest.

And besides the Jin family disciples, only the Song family disciples could display such a powerful Broken Gold Imperial Sword technique.

“I suspect…” the demon cultivator coughed out a mouthful of blood, his voice condensed, “that some of our plots were seen by the Song family, and they then want to borrow a knife to kill, borrowing the hands of other sects to pull down the Jin family, and then their Song family can use this to rise…”

The black-clothed person remained silent, but the surging killing intent in his body became increasingly intense.

A stock of bloodthirsty demonic power wandered in his body like serpents, several of which were about to break out.

Fortunately, the black-clothed person forcibly suppressed the violence in his heart.

After a moment, the killing intent stopped.

The black-clothed person’s aura also calmed down, becoming deep and obscure like a mountain.

“I know…”

He said faintly.

After that, the black-clothed person looked at the demon cultivator again and asked in a deep voice: “Your broken arm is gone?”

The demon cultivator endured the pain and said: “It was twisted into pieces by sword energy and turned into a mass of blood mist…”

The black-clothed person nodded: “That’s good.”

He looked at the demon cultivator, threw him a fresh red flesh and blood pill, and said, “Eat it.”

The demon cultivator was greatly joyful and hurriedly swallowed the flesh and blood pill, gratefully saying:

“Thank you, boss!”

The black-clothed person lightly “um”-ed and said faintly: “After healing your injury, don’t forget your task. Mr. Tu said that the plan is advancing and actions must be faster.”

“Yes!” The demon cultivator kowtowed.

After taking the pill, a surge of blood qi surged in his body, nursing his injuries and reviving his flesh.

Although healing like this in a rush with a flesh and blood returning pill would leave aftereffects.

But as long as he ate more flesh and blood and supplemented more afterwards, he would slowly make it up. It was always better than losing his life now.

The black-clothed person said: “Follow me back to the valley.”

The demon cultivator respectfully followed behind.

The black-clothed person walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned back and looked at the direction outside Lianyaoshan, and coldly snorted in his heart:

“Chongxu Gate, Song family…”

“Dare to ruin my plans, sooner or later I will make you pay the price!”

The black-clothed person let out a cold laugh, then turned his head, taking the demon cultivator with him, and walked into the darkest and most bloody depths of the dense forest…
