Chapter 292.
In the sky, with the appearance of the ancient aura, the Dao and Buddha shadows that were originally terrifying to the extreme, at this time, under the filling of this ancient aura, they also became as small as ants.
The Grand Elders of the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddha Sect were arrogantly incomparable at this moment, but when this ancient aura flowed out, their expressions, in unison, froze.
The terrifying pressure made it all, as if it was small to the extreme.
At the same time, the surrounding mountains and forests were gone, and everything became as blurry as a mosaic.
In addition to the blurriness, the ancient and desolate aura was gradually becoming deeper and deeper.
“What is this situation!”
“Didn’t we say that Zhou An doesn’t have a protector of the Dao?”
“Something’s not right, this is a bizarre aura, is Zhou An crazy, such a horrible bizarre, he dares to get it out, does he want to die with it!”
“Quick, run!”
The two of them looked at each other and instantly got up the idea of running away.
They truly did not expect that Zhou An would use such a detrimental trick.
This was completely like dying together.
The weirdness was indeed powerful, but how was Zhou An going to run?
The two of them now, even felt that Zhou An had gone mad.
However, there was no chance of escaping now.
The ancient street, accompanied by an ancient aura, in an instant, descended here.
At the same time, the terrifyingly bizarre on the street, appeared in front of the stalls, all expressionless.
“This is, the Creepy Gathering!”
The Wild Dao Sect’s Grand Elder reacted the fastest and saw it at a glance, unable to help but tremble slightly.
This kind of weirdness was an extremely ancient existence.
Back then, when he was young, he had once been in a Guile Rally, searching for the so-called chance.
He had also once seen the true face of the Guile Rally and had survived.
Therefore, the encounters of his youth had caused him to form a shadow, and when he saw it again, he felt the pressure of his youth come crashing down on him.
At this moment, the group of monks and Taoist priests similarly felt a terrifying pressure coming on them.
They were originally chanting sutras, but when this terrifying pressure hit them, the sound of chanting stopped.
And as the sound of chanting stopped, the Buddha’s shadow disappeared along with it.
A woman dressed in black, with a mature demeanor, descended from the sky.
On the woman’s body, there was a palpitating sense of terror, a bizarre aura, as if with a casual glance, she could wipe out all the living people around her, all of them.
The appearance of the bizarre assembly plunged the scene into absolute silence.
The people present didn’t dare to say a word, all staring at the weird assembly in the sky.
This was the most ancient and bizarre sense of oppression, even the Absolute Enlightenment Realm powerhouses couldn’t stand a bit of it at this moment.
Just as the crowd felt that despair, an anomaly appeared.
The black jade threw out an inner elixir, which traced a long trajectory in midair.
In the next moment, the Creepy Assembly would receive this inner elixir into their hands with bizarre instincts.
When the inner elixir was in his hand, the instincts in the bizarre assembly were disappearing at a rapid pace.
In its place, human consciousness returned to the body.
After the Guile Rally regained its consciousness, it saw everything around it, and the whole person went numb.
“You kid, is there something wrong with you?”
The corners of Guile Rally’s mouth twitched, “Next time, are you going to let in a bunch of ones in the same realm as me, and then watch me get killed alive?”
“Even if you’re my future son-in-law, I still want to give you a few slaps!”
Seriously, every time he recovered, he was bound to wipe this kid’s ass.
Now it seemed that it was time to strike once again.
Zhou An suddenly said, “No need to kill.”
Guile Gathering was slightly stunned, not understanding what Zhou An meant.
However, she saw that the Wild Dao Sect’s Grand Elder and the others, had the idea of leaving soon, so she waved her hand.
In the next moment, a bizarre aura filled this street.
The Wild Dao Sect’s Grand Elder and the others, immediately fell into a stalemate.
“What does it mean.” Creepy Rally asked.
Zhou An told the whole story of what had happened.
After listening to it, the Guile Assembly shook her head, “The same clan killing each other, heaven’s justice is unforgivable.”
In her lifetime, she was also a living person.
Although dead for many years, she still had a human plot after regaining her consciousness.
“Zhou An, what do you want.” Guile Rally asked.
Zhou An laughed, “Wouldn’t it be beautiful if Auntie tortured it once first, and then I take away the inner elixir?”
Those who had offended him could not run.
The people of a county couldn’t die in vain, and it would be a boon for this group to die painfully instead of being tortured as they should be.
“Then it would be a good idea to give them a good time to play and die from the torture.”
The Guile Rally waved his hand.
Afterwards, it was as if these people from the Wild Dao Sect and Wild Buddha Sect were grabbed by large invisible hands and thrown into the stall.
In front of the stall, Creepy frantically surrounded it, and in a split second, the exact situation could no longer be seen, only a burst of shouts and screams were left, resounding continuously.
It was so mournful that it made people’s bones creepy.
“Many thanks Auntie.” Zhou An said.
Considering that in normal times, every time he entered the Creepy Assembly, he came over to wipe his ass, Zhou An said thanks.
The Creepy Assembly didn’t say anything, and just looked at Zhou An with an unspoken meaning.
Sometimes, a look was enough to understand in seconds.
Zhou An also understood in seconds, raising his right hand, the light of the Holy Spirit Evil Demon Body, flickered continuously on his hand.
When the light of the Holy Spirit Evil Demon Body surfaced, Guile Gathering narrowed his eyes.
“This ability of yours, it seems to be quite a bit stronger than before.”
“It seems that you haven’t wasted your efforts during this period of time.”
“I’m satisfied.”
Zhou An Xin said, this was a ninth level qualitative skill, so it would be wrong if he wasn’t satisfied.
Moreover, the satisfaction was yet to come.
Letting the aunt feel good would be the end of it.
The light of the Holy Spirit Evil Demon Body, in Zhou An’s hands, was thrown at the Guile Rally.
In the next moment, the Guile Assembly would squint its eyes with an expression of enjoyment.
Zhou An felt that if this expression was seen by the owner of the building, he was afraid that his head would not be safe.
Black Jade leapt to her feet, eager to run to Guile Gathering’s side and be carried by the back of Zhou An’s neck collar in front of Guile Gathering.
Mother and daughter was not an option.
Her hands kept fluttering, but there was just no way she could go any further.
After a long time, Guile Rally opened his eyes.
Zhou An curiously asked, “Is it okay?”
The implication was that at this level, would it be possible to bring the Guile Rally to its senses.
What he was thinking was that if he could make the Creepy Coven awake, then to follow up, Zhou An would just take the Creepy Coven and crunch and kill them everywhere.
The guile assembly would be responsible for killing randomly, and he would be responsible for crunching.
After all, sometimes, there was no telling how much time it would take to fight a strong enemy, so in case there wasn’t enough inner elixir, he was only afraid that the Creepy Coven would come against him first.
Any more inner elixir would be no match for himself to keep Creepy Coven awake.
The pleasure on Guile Rally’s face disappeared, “It’s not enough, it’s still a bit short, but it’s not far off.”
“About how much of a degree.” Zhou An asked.
The Guile Rally pondered slightly and said, “About double.”
Double.
Zhou An heard and understood, and knew roughly how many levels it would take to bring the Guile Rally back to consciousness.
Doubling would be after every qualitative change.
In other words, about twelve levels, he would be able to carry the guile assembly on his back and start waving it around.
However, Zhou An had a doubt.
At that time, was it necessary to carry the Guile Rally?
Wouldn’t he be able to quack and kill indiscriminately, and the Guile Rally would be in charge of quacking?
Of course, there wasn’t much of a problem.
He still had quite a few inner elixirs in his hands, so he should still be able to use them for quite some time.
While the two were exchanging words, the miserable howls from the stalls rose and fell, and the scene looked very terrifying.
A circle of weirdness, three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounded those Taoist monks, all of them.
Every now and then, a splash of shredded flesh with clothes caught in it popped up and flew in the sky.
Zhou An even felt that it wasn’t enough to share.
“By the way, there is something that I need to tell you.”
Right at this moment, the Guile Gathering suddenly spoke up, interrupting Zhou An’s huddle.
Zhou An returned to his senses and asked, “What is it?”
He looked at the serious look on Creepy Coven’s face at this moment and knew that Creepy Coven probably had very important news.
The Guile Gathering was silent for a moment and said, “Within the rift, it’s getting more and more unstable, and lately, even here in my place, from time to time, there are weirdness bubbling up.”
“Unsteady?”
Zhou An Xin said it shouldn’t be.
They were on a weird hunt, and the pressure within the rift should be getting lighter and lighter.
How could it be aggravating again?
Thinking about this, Zhou An told all about the purpose of his trip.
The Guile Gathering heard this, pondered for a moment, and said, “If this is the case, I don’t know the reason for it, perhaps a look inside the rift will be able to find the problem.”
Zhou An’s eyes lit up, “Choose a day and try today.”
Next to him, Black Jade tiptoed around, preparing to burrow into the shadows.
Before she could take a few steps out, she was lifted over by Zhou An pinching the back of her neck collar.
“No go, no go.” Black Jade yelled.
She was smart as hell and knew that it must be the same method from last time that made her explore inside the crack.
“It’s useless.” Guile Gathering shook his head, “It’s impossible to explore within the rift as it’s so large.”
“I suspect that someone is doing it in the dark, but who exactly is unknown.”
“However, the problem shouldn’t be very big, as long as you guys can quickly resolve what’s going on outside, the pressure inside and outside will plummet.”
Zhou An stroked his chin, pondering in his mind.
Saying that although it was said like this, but the secret of it, who could know.
Zhou An decided that after this trip was over, he would hurriedly tell Emperor Xingwu about the matter, so that these high-level bigwigs could investigate.
The two exchanged words up to here, and at this time, the aura of the living on the Creepy Gathering, was already getting less and less.
And on both sides of the street, the sounds of miserable screams, were also gradually diminishing.
After a while, the miserable screams finally stopped.
The surrounding weirdness, scattered, and Zhou An also saw the scene inside.
Inside, there was no longer a living person, only a skeleton frame remained, lying on the ground.
Other than that, there was blood and flesh all over the place, everywhere.
This group of people, who had been killed by bizarrely tearing apart their flesh and blood inch by inch, were fully awake and enjoying the pain.
Until complete death.
Zhou An saw that there were five inner dans on the ground and picked them up.
“Auntie, I’m going out.” Zhou An said.
The Creepy Assembly nodded.
At this moment, the bizarre aura on her body had already intensified to a certain extent.
“After you go out, relieve the pressure from the outside world as soon as possible.”
The Creepy Assembly said, “This world, it’s starting to get chaotic.”
Zhou Anxin said that the outside was also going to start to be chaotic, and that there would be a war soon.
I didn’t expect the inside and outside to be in chaos together, it’s simply absolute.
Of course, it was too late to say these words, he was worried that if he continued to stay, the Guile Rally would tear him apart.
Soon, Guile would wave his hand, and a light would flash by.
Immediately afterward, Zhou An lifted the black jade and quickly disappeared into this space.
The blurriness appeared and quickly disappeared.
Not long after, Zhou An returned to Cang Cui Mountain.
Here, there was already no one.
After the Eye of Chaos swept around, Zhou An did not notice any abnormalities, and only then did he rush towards the location of the Purple Cloud County.
From Cang Cui Mountain to Zi Yun County did not take much time.
When Zhou An arrived, he looked at the dead city and the All Saints Realm experts that were waiting for him, landing from the sky.
“The corpses of the people, how are they being handled?” Zhou An asked.
Zheng Quan arched his hand and said, “All of them have been buried, but I don’t know their names, so I can’t put up monuments either.”
Zhou An nodded and did not say anything.
It wasn’t just him who didn’t say anything, the others didn’t say anything either.
Zhou An being able to come back meant that the enemies had all been exterminated.
Even though they were curious in their hearts, they didn’t dare to ask more because they all knew that Zhou An was in a bad mood at this time.
Zheng Quan often interacted with Zhou An, so he did dare to say a word or two.
“Lord Zhou, shall we set off?”
Even if he did, it was still a question, without mentioning the matter of Ziyun County.
Zhou An said, “Departure, the matter of hunting shenanigans, will have to be accelerated, all of you, may have to work a little harder.”
Right now, there was no telling who was up to no good inside the rift, they were outside, and they needed to speed things up.
The crowd looked at each other and said in unison, “But at your command.”
Zhou An waved his hand and said, “Depart!”
The crowd quickly followed behind Zhou An and left Zi Yun County, heading towards another place.
In the Great Qi Kingdom, in the middle of the Imperial Palace.
A carrier pigeon flew in and was held in the hands of the Indulgent Leader.
After reading through the contents of the letter, the Verticality Leader laughed.
“Why are you laughing?” Emperor Feng Teng asked.
The Verticality Leader said indifferently, “The Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddha Sect, who got a peak Absolute Enlightenment Dao and Buddha Vajra, were killed by Zhou An.”
Emperor Feng Teng raised an eyebrow, “Is Zhou An really so powerful that the Tongling Realm decimated the Peak of Absolute Enlightenment?”
Mentioning this, the Verticality Leader seemed to recall the matter of the Nine Layered Pagoda, and his tone was somewhat somber.
“It’s not powerful, it’s hard to kill, he’s hard to kill!”
There was quite a bit of gnashing of teeth when he said this.
Verticality had dealt with Zhou An the most, and had also suffered the heaviest losses.
Twelve Protectors, as well as a Venerable One, and a whole bunch of members, had all folded in Zhou An’s hands.
But now, Zhou An was alive and well as if nothing had happened.
Emperor Feng Teng murmured, “It seems that you hate him.”
“I can’t wait to skin him.”
The Vertical Leader sneered, “But, it’s coming soon, when the time comes, I won’t be like those two wasteful forces.”
“Zhou An, will surely die, because he has an extremely fatal weakness that only I know about.”
“What weakness?” Emperor Feng Teng asked.
“The state of mind.” The Vertical Leader simply said two words, “When the time comes, you will know.”
Emperor Feng Teng knew that he was selling a lie and didn’t say much.
When the time came, it would naturally be clear.
Inside the imperial study, silence fell once again.
On the other hand, Lord Buddha sat within the temple, looking at the old Taoist priest in front of him.
In the hands of the two, each of them was pinching a piece of jade, together.
At this moment, the jade …… completely shattered.
“Snap!”
Lord Buddha threw the shattered jade on the ground and angrily shouted, “Dao Buddha Vajra can’t even be killed, what exactly is he made of that is so hard to kill!”
Not only the Buddha Lord, even the Dao Lord next to him had a very grave expression at this time.
Amidst the gravity, it even carried a trace of a monstrous killing aura.
The appearance of the Dao Lord was incredibly old, but his back was straight.
He looked at the half-severed jade pendant in his hand and said in a cold voice, “Old me is now eager to personally travel to the Great Qi Kingdom and collect Zhou An’s head.”
The two of them were maneuvering this remotely, and this time, he was all but feeling that it was a sure thing.
This was because through the two Grand Elders leading the team, plus a bunch of experts, together utilizing the way of formations, the Dao-Buddha Vajra that had been summoned already possessed the strength of the Peak Absolute Enlightenment realm, and this realm, could never be something that Zhou An could personally decapitate.
But they didn’t expect that it was still gone.
The shattering of these two pieces of jade represented the disappearance of Dao Buddha Vajra, and also represented that this plan had completely failed, what made him Zhou An so difficult to kill, the peak of the Absolute Enlightenment realm could not be killed, this was too outrageous.
After all, that Dao Buddha Vajra could almost be said to be invincible in this world, except for that minority part of the world, but things were just so coincidental, they did lose, and they lost miserably.
“Don’t get angry, let’s look at the situation again.” Lord Buddha’s anger at this time also finally calmed down gradually.
After his anger calmed down, he was already thinking about the things behind him.
The jade seal of the Great Domain Dynasty, they had to get it, and it was considered their last chance.
If Zhou An returned to the Great Chu Kingdom from the Great Qi Kingdom, they would have completely lost this opportunity, and by that time, the whereabouts of the Jade Seal was unknown, and the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddha Sect, there would be no more possibilities for them to turn the tide.
So even though the Dao and Buddha Vajra had disappeared, they still had to think of other ways.
“What can we think of, nowadays, the two of us, we don’t dare to personally travel to the Great Qi Kingdom, at that time, in case Emperor Feng Teng has a brain fart and comes to deal with us, at that time, the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddha Sect, would be considered to be completely gone.”
The two men glanced at each other.
It was also clear in their hearts that this matter, indeed, had fallen into a dilemma.
If they couldn’t kill Zhou An anymore, they could only let watch Zhou An return to the Great Chu Kingdom.
Now by now, all their cards had been lifted, how else could they play?
Just as the two people were silent with each other, a footstep sounded, but faintly.
In this hidden place, a young Daoist with a crooked bun walked in from outside.
Just as the young Taoist priest entered this place, he immediately arched his hand and said, “Master Taoist, a person from Verticality has come over, saying that he wants to cooperate with us.”
Cooperation?
After hearing those two words, both the Daoist Lord and the Buddhist Lord could see the look of surprise in each other’s eyes.
“Invite them in, I want to see how they want to cooperate.” The Dao Lord waved his hand.
“Yes.”
The young Daoist agreed and turned to leave.
Not long after, a stout middle-aged man, with an aura of the All Saints Realm, walked in from outside, and was considered one of the more top experts.
“Vertical Fist Heavenly Father, meet the two seniors.”
After the middle-aged man entered, he bowed to the two.
Where the bones of those hands were, they were thick calluses, and one could tell just how much effort this middle-aged man had put into his fists.
Lord Buddha did not speak, and it was Lord Dao who opened his mouth.
“One of the Four Heavenly Dignitaries of Verticality, all of them are said to be existences about to step into the Realm of Absolute Enlightenment, and are also the high end power of Verticality, you came over to find us this time, how do you want to cooperate?”
There was no need to say anything superfluous.
In that instant just now, the two of them, the Dao Lord and the Buddha Lord, just by communicating with each other with their eyes, knew that there was no need to talk nonsense about the matter at hand.
So when the Fist Heavenly Father came in, he immediately asked directly.
The Fist Heavenly Sovereign put his hands down, dropping them to the side, and slowly said, “Our Leader would like to borrow an item from the two seniors, to use against Zhou An.”
He didn’t babble, directly naming the purpose of this time.
“What is it?” The Dao Lord frowned and asked.
The Fist Heavenly Father organized his words and finally simplified them, condensing them to three simple words, “Linglong Painting.”
Linglong painting?
After these three words were exited, within this mysterious space, it fell into a kind of absolute silence, where a pin could be heard.
Not a single person spoke, even the Fist Heavenly Father fell into silence.
On the other hand, on the opposite side of the Fist Heavenly Father, Lord Dao and Lord Buddha glanced at each other, seemingly considering the feasibility of this scenario.
After roughly half a pillar of incense had passed, the Dao Lord finally spoke.
“The Linglong Painting is a treasure that we made in conjunction with the Wild Buddha Sect, this is something that neither Lord Buddha nor I can possess alone, yet you guys want to borrow it, won’t you be spoiling the foundations of my Wild Buddha Sect and Wild Dao Sect?”
To say that this Linglong painting, the doorway inside was really quite a lot.
When the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddha Sect were first surrounded by the forces of the authentic Taoist and Buddhist sects, they were already like street rats, and could disappear forever at any time.
At that time, both the Taoist Lord and the Buddhist Lord, were also unable to withstand the siege from the other side, and in the end, could only think of a most reliable method.
They poured out all the resources of the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddha Sect, and eventually, with the Dao and the Buddha, they conjured up ten thousand spells and condensed a painting.
This painting was called Linglong Painting, on the surface it was a painting, but the space inside was so great that it could even allow a living person to enter it.
And at that time, the method of their escape was also very simple, that is, the remaining people under the door, all of them will be included inside the Linglong Painting, and then by an extremely secretive person, with the Linglong Painting to escape on their own.
This method, which allowed them to finally escape the siege, has now also taken root.
But no matter what, this painting was the most important underpinning for them.
In case the same thing happened to them one day, they would be able to use it to hide in it and reduce the possibility of themselves being discovered.
So now that someone from Verticality, wanted to come over and borrow this painting, the two of them would have to carefully think about whether it was worth it.
The Fist Heavenly Father also knew that these two people were thinking about something, and thought to himself that the Leader of Verticality had already made the conditions right before he came.
As long as the other party showed a hesitant look, he would voice out the conditions.
At that time, in front of the huge benefits, even the Linglong Painting would be lent out.
Thinking about this, Fist Heavenly Father slowly said.
“This is a transaction, it’s not a loan for nothing, but there is an exchange, let’s say the Great Domain Jade Seal that you want.”
