Chapter 990.
Qing Mu Mountain.
On a wilderness path, Qin Qingxuan pointed at a distant building hidden in the woods and said, “That’s the Purple Heavenly Temple.”
Wang Chen nodded without speaking.
Qing Mu Mountain was located thirty miles to the southwest of Great Yecheng City, a large mountain with dense forests and beautiful scenery, and it was said that there were quite a number of accomplished Taoist priests who lived in seclusion and cultivation in the mountain.
There were hundreds of Taoist temples and caves, large and small.
The Purple Heavenly Temple was precisely one of them.
This Taoist temple was not well known among the commoners of the Imperial Capital, and very few people knew about it, but according to Qin Qingxuan, every year, many of the city’s dignitaries came to make offerings and listen to the teachings.
The Purple Heavenly Temple had been established for hundreds of years, and although its power was far from being comparable to that of the Great Dao Palace, its connections were extremely deep.
The person Qin Qingxuan had asked Wang Chen to help her deal with was none other than Zhang Shuo Cheng, the head of the Purple Heavenly Temple and the Grand Heavenly Master!
Not counting casual cultivators, regular Dao cultivators could be categorized into Daoist children, Daoist priests, Heavenly Masters, Great Heavenly Masters, and Dao Ancestors according to their cultivation levels.
For Zhang Shuo Cheng to bear the name of Grand Heavenly Master, his strength was naturally extraordinary.
However, Qin Qingxuan guessed that he was most likely a great demon!
The Heavenly Demon hosting a body was the most commonly used means of its integration into the Cangqing Realm, and throughout the ages, he did not know how many people had their shells seized by demons to cause mischief for the earth, many of whom were great and heroic people.
Although the human beings in the Cangqing Realm did their best to drive out the demons, it seemed that this thing could never be killed and cut down, and it was the greatest enemy of the human race.
As the Chief Demon Suppressor of the Blood Clothes Guards, it was also Wang Chen’s duty and obligation to eliminate demons and devils.
He couldn’t help but wonder why Qin Qingxuan didn’t deal with Zhang Shocheng by way of a report, but instead took the trouble to ask for his help to behead it privately.
“I have no evidence.”
In response to Wang Chen’s question, Qin Qingxuan laughed bitterly, “Zhang Shocheng is a dual cultivator of Dharma and Martial Arts, he once had a battle result of killing a fifth ranked Martial Zong, and he has deep dealings with the powerful and noble people in the city of Great Yec ……”
After a pause, this True Disciple of the Rainflower Sword Ceremony said, “The current Empress Dowager is also surnamed Zhang!”
There is actually a relationship with the Empress Dowager?
Wang Chen finally understood why Qin Qingxuan was so scornful of Zhang Shocheng, not daring to act rashly even knowing that the other party was most likely a demon.
“This demon has many minions and teeth ……”
Qin Qingxuan said in a deep voice, “I’ll be responsible for luring away his party later on, it’s all up to Qianhu to eliminate this great demon!”
“Uh-huh.”
Wang Chen probed his hand and grabbed out the Tai Hao Demon Execution Gun, “Leave it to me.”
“The art of hiding weapons?”
Qin Qingxuan’s eyes instantly lit up, “This is the Demon Destroying Divine Soldier hidden in the secret vault of the Yiluan Division?”
Having not seen Wang Chen carrying the Demon Destroying Gun earlier, Qin Qingxuan did not inquire about it out of her trust in him, but now she felt shocked and her confidence in Wang Chen steeply increased.
“I’ve brought the head of the gun!”
Said she as she was about to take out the spearhead she had brought.
Wang Dust smiled and said, “No need, this gun head of mine is the original one.”
Qin Qingxuan was even more surprised and asked with wide eyes, “Chancellor Wang, where did you get the original spearhead from?”
“Let’s not talk about that.”
Wang Duan waved his hand, “Let’s destroy the demons first.”
Qin Qingxuan’s pretty face reddened, realizing that she was a bit out of line, she quickly said, “Good.”
The two of them, one after the other, quickly approached towards the Purple Heavenly Temple.
This Taoist Temple was not open to the public, so there were no believers to be seen, the gate was tightly closed, and the building inside was surrounded by a high wall, looking heavily defended.
But this high wall could not possibly hold back the two of them, Wang Chen and Qin Qingxuan, as the latter drew the sword he carried with him and fiercely accelerated forward, transforming into a white shadow in the blink of an eye and rushing up the wall.
“Zhang Shocheng, you have colluded with the demons, your sins are heinous, why don’t you tie your hands and surrender!”
The shrill voice spread in all directions, instantly spreading throughout the entire Taoist temple, but there was no one who was in it that could not hear it.
Qin Qingxuan’s action appeared to be extremely reckless, but in reality, she had discussed it with Wang Duan, adopting the strategy of alerting the snakes.
She was responsible for pulling the hatred head-on, and while the people in the Purple Heavenly Temple were attracted to their attention, Wang Dust quietly sneaked into the backyard of the Taoist Temple from another direction.
Zhang Shocheng usually lived in deep seclusion, seldom appearing in front of people, and most of the time, he was in the backyard residence to cultivate.
Wang Chen had just landed on the ground, and immediately a cold aura locked himself in place.
“Ha!”
He laughed out loud, the whole person like a stray arrow rushed out in the right direction, and crashed into a wall.
Only to hear a loud “boom”, this thick wall was split into pieces, countless debris splattered and flew, as if it had been hit by an artillery shell, stirring up dust all over the sky.
Although his line of sight was greatly obstructed, yet Wang Dust still accurately found the rightful owner.
Qin Qingxuan’s plan was very simple, not complicated at all, but very effective.
Qin Qingxuan’s provocation didn’t directly draw out Zhang Shocheng, but when Wang Dust sneaked into the backyard, the suspected Great Devil’s Guan Master couldn’t sit still.
And by locking onto Wang Dust with his aura, he immediately exposed himself.
Wang Chen in turn locked him down as well.
This kind of sensory exchange of qi was extremely subtle, and only occurred in a true expert power duel!
Qin Qingxuan’s request to Wang Dust was to kill him in one blow, evade when he was not hit by the enemy, and never get entangled in the battle; anyway, both of them had disguised themselves and would not expose their real bodies.
Up until now, all the steps of this plan had been realized.
“Kill!”
At the next moment, Wang Chen shouted in a low, furious voice and stabbed out the Tai Hao Demon Execution Gun in his hand towards his target.
Ten steps away from him, in the room, was standing a purple-robed Heavenly Master with a majestic face, and although a look of anger spread across his face, his eyes were icy cold.
The temperature of the surrounding space dropped steeply, and even spots of falling frost and snow appeared.
However, when the glittering Tai Hao Demon Execution Gun stabbed, this Great Heavenly Master, who was renowned amongst the powerful nobles of Great Yecheng, changed his face, and a pair of pitch-black pupils suddenly contracted drastically and unexpectedly stood up at the same time!
Pieces of black scale armor immediately surfaced on his face and hands, and the aura he emitted became incomparably wild and fierce.
But it also contained a trace of uncontrollable fear!
The strange symptoms Zhang Shocheng displayed all but proved Qin Qingxuan’s suspicions, as Wang Chen’s power injected into the gun body was raised from 90% to 10%, and the tip of the gun steeply radiated a flame aura that was several feet long.
The invisible pressure aura locked and bound the opponent in front of him!
This shot made it impossible for Zhang Shocheng to avoid, and an inhuman hissing roar emanated from his throat as he opened his mouth and spat out a purple pearl the size of a baby’s fist to meet the flames of the gun that was stabbing towards him.
Poof!
The moment the purple pearl collided with the gun flame, it exploded violently, and the evil demonic power inside exploded, instantly transforming into a mass of twisted black mist that surged back towards Wang Chen.
At this moment, Zhang Shuo Cheng has completely revealed its original form, it steeply curled up its body into a ball, a piece of sharp scale armor erected, the entire body upward leap!
But the tip of the Tai Hao Demon Punishing Gun turned, and the black mist that had just erupted instantly dissipated.
In the snap of a finger, Wang Chen caught up with Zhang Shocheng, who had transformed into a human demon, and the Tai Hao Demon Punishing Gun pierced through its torso with a single blow from the bottom up.
Purple-black blood immediately scattered like rain!
