With the continuous weakening of the aura, the cultivation realm of Huaxia Daozhou and Zixiao Continent has become chaotic.

The sects are frantically competing for resources, and the monks are also killing each other, and all kinds of contradictions are about to erupt.

Naturally, the secular people were not spared, or they became the fish in the pond that were affected in the fight of the strong.

Either it has become the "ration" of countless demon cultivators, demon cultivators, and evil cultivators.

The alliance relationship between the righteous sects that originally maintained order was also crumbling, and the yang was in disobedience, and the appearance was detached, not to mention the real desperate protection of the safety of the world.

Although there are still a large number of people who are sticking to the bottom line, defending the right path, fighting against those demon cultivators and evil cultivators who wantonly kill, and protecting the lives of ordinary people.

But more people don't have the heart to care so much, and not participating in killing and cultivating the Demon Dao is already their last bottom line.

There is no way to consume one's own strength and selflessly dedicate oneself to the so-called righteous path and the common people.

However, there are also a lot of cultivators who are not firm in their beliefs, and they have begun to turn to the Demon Gate, or the evil way, and practice the method of "cannibalism".

Use the qi and blood of the warrior, the true qi of the cultivator, or the essence and blood, vitality, and even the soul of ordinary people as a source of energy to quickly improve cultivation.

You must know that many evil and crooked exercises, although they are inhumane, or need to step on countless corpses to move forward.

However, in terms of strength and cultivation speed, these methods are indeed cultivation methods that far surpass those of the Righteous Path sect.

Even people with poor qualifications don't care, they can still practice.

In the past, everyone was reluctant to touch the demonic path cultivation system, on the one hand, it was too cruel, and on the other hand, it was also because these evil sects and crooked path exercises were too eager for quick success, which would lead to madness.

Although the cultivation is improved quickly, the upper limit is low, even if you can quickly reach the Yuan Infant Realm or the Transformation God Realm in a short period of time, you may never be able to Dao Dao Dao Realm, let alone become an immortal.

And even if you are lucky enough to reach the Mahayana realm, the heavenly tribulation will be ridiculously strong, and you will not be able to survive the heavenly tribulation at all.

Therefore, many people still choose the normal path of cultivation.

But the premise of everything is based on the premise that you can ascend.

Now that the aura is exhausted and the catastrophe is coming, who can manage such a long-term thing.

At present, how to improve your strength as quickly as possible is the most important thing.

Strength is king, if you can't quickly improve your strength and accumulate enough strength, you may have fallen in this resource competition before the catastrophe comes.

What's more, they can't compete for resources normally, but they can't grab those who are powerful.

The talent is not comparable to those top geniuses.

But he was unwilling to accept fate and wait for death.

can only give up the so-called human ethics and bottom line, and try to win enough capital for himself to deal with the catastrophe.

Otherwise, when the catastrophe really comes, no one can control anyone, and they can only save themselves.

It's as if an era of turmoil will become a hotbed of crime, and in an era of natural disasters, there will be a lot of robbers.

Most human nature is not so noble, and desire and sin are like fuel hidden in the body, and a little spark is enough to ignite.

In the face of the survival instinct, many things are not worth mentioning.

Therefore, with the modification of those original righteous path sects, they switched to the demon sect, practiced the evil demon outer path exercises, and killed everywhere.

It also further increased the burden on the Righteous Dao sect, and they simply did not have enough manpower and energy to quell the chaos and fight against the Demon Dao.

In particular, the weakening of the aura became more and more obvious, and even the concentration of the aura in the several caves in the Zixiao Continent was only less than two percent of the original.

Elsewhere there is even more of a ten.

The sharp rise in the sense of crisis has also led to further destruction of order, and the fighting has become more and more fierce.

However, because of the natural barrier of the 100,000 Great Mountains and the Netherworld Jedi, Xuanyou Prefecture was not affected by this for the time being

Moreover, the aura here is already thin, and the weakening this time is not so obvious.

Even though the major sects have felt that something is wrong recently, they have not felt that it will be the coming of the end of the Dharma era, or that another catastrophe will appear.

It's like someone who has been living by the sea and suddenly sees that the sea is drying up.

Unlike people who have been living in the mountains, seeing a small river at the entrance of the village dry up, the impact and inner reaction must be different.

The former must feel like the end of the world.

At best, the latter will feel that they may have to go through another drought, or maybe tighten their belts and get through it.

So this is the case in Xuanyou Prefecture at this time.

Everyone noticed the anomaly, but the reaction was not that big.

But some of the demons and monsters that were originally hidden in the 100,000 Mountains and Netherworld Jedi began to become restless.

In fact, the appearance of the Demon Cloud Vine was a sign in the first place.

These demons and monsters began to wreak havoc on the 100,000 mountains, and some even broke into the human city and began to cause chaos.

The incidents of demonic rebellion in various places also continued to increase, and the major sects had to send monks to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

Nanling Kingdom, here is the southern part of the Daqian Dynasty, a country bordering the 100,000 mountains.

Recently, the demons in the 100,000 mountains have been in turmoil, and this place is naturally the first to be affected.

Many villages, and even county seats, were attacked by demons.

There are still many places where ghosts are rampant, and many monsters eat people one after another, and female ghosts suck men's essence.

Some righteous sects in the Nanling Kingdom also sent disciples to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

In an abandoned mountain temple outside Fengxian County, a man who looked like a scholar walked in.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the temple of this mountain seemed quite dim, even a little gloomy.

The broken idol was covered with moss, the head of the idol that fell to the ground looked very weird, and the beams covered with cobwebs creaked inexplicably.

I don't know if it's the wind blowing or if there's something moving around on it.

The man looked around, but he didn't care, sat down on the ground, and then took out the dry food on his waist and ate it.

His name is Wang Chen, and he is Du Shaoling's most proud student.

At the beginning, he was also the first batch of students to join Confucianism and Taoism in Qingzhou City, and now he has become the mainstay of Confucianism and Taoism, and he was ordered to come to Nanling Kingdom to spread Confucianism.

Recently, I happened to travel from Daning City to the capital of Nanling Kingdom.

After passing through this Feng County, I heard that there have been female ghosts here recently, and many men in the city have disappeared in the middle of the night, and finally the body was found in this ruined temple.

But he has been drained of his essence and died.

So during this time, people in the city were panicked, and many people did not dare to go out at night, and they were afraid to see women.

After Wang Chen heard about this, he decided to come over and meet the female ghost for a while.

Along the way, he also hoeed the strong and helped the weak, subduing demons and eliminating demons.

Today, his Confucianism, Taoism and strength are on par with his teacher Du Shaoling.

You can use magic powers such as brilliant brushstrokes, paper talks, and three points into the wood.

Even if you encounter a strong person in the Yuan Infant Realm, you are not afraid at all.

Especially when dealing with some evil ghosts, it is even more handy.

A "Song of Righteousness" can easily suppress and kill all demons.

So he's not afraid of any female ghosts, banshees or anything like that.

If he dares to appear, he will physically overdo it.

As the sun went down, the light in the woods became dimmer and the temple became more and more gloomy.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, but it was two men in Taoist robes who walked in.

"It's really eerie here!" One of them said.

But before he could finish speaking, he noticed the figure sitting inside.

I couldn't help but be startled, and I thought I had met a ghost.

But after careful inspection, I realized that it was not a ghost, but a scholar.

Wang Chen was reading a book, and when he saw the two walking in, he got up and smiled at the two of them, showing politeness and friendliness.

He also knew that the other party might also be here to hunt ghosts.

"Why is Your Excellency here alone?" A Taoist priest asked.

"Yes, get out of here quickly, haven't you heard that this place has been haunted recently, this female ghost specializes in sucking men's energy, and many men like you have died in this broken temple!" Perhaps because he was taken aback by Wang Chen, the Taoist priest also deliberately scared Wang Chen.

"You're here to catch ghosts, aren't you?" Wang Chen smiled elegantly, and his expression was indifferent, which surprised the two Taoist priests.

"Well, of course, so you better leave quickly, it's getting dark in a while, and it's too late for you to leave! We've got you covered! ”

"Me too!" Wang Chen said with a smile, and then stopped talking, but continued to read the book.

Hearing Wang Chen's words, the two Taoist priests were obviously stunned, glanced at each other, and thought that they had heard it wrong.

"You're here to hunt ghosts too?"

"Hmm!" Wang Chen nodded.

The two Taoist priests were even more surprised, and carefully observed Wang Chen, no matter how he looked, he didn't look like a cultivator, and he didn't have any true qi at all.

is not bloody, nor is he a martial artist, no matter how you look at it, he is an ordinary person.

Seems to be a guy who can't do anything about himself.

The two Taoist priests exchanged glances, and the corners of their mouths hooked up a playful smile, thinking that the other party must be stupid for reading.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, this ghost can't be caught by anyone, if there is any danger at that time, don't blame me for not telling you in advance!"

Wang Chen didn't speak again, but focused on the book.

Seeing this scene, the Taoist priest wanted to say something, but his companion stopped him.

Then he whispered: "He happened to be here, we hid, and when the time came, we used him as bait to lure out the female ghost and take the opportunity to kill him." ”

"Well, that's fine!" The two reached a consensus and no longer paid attention to Wang Chen.

They walked around the temple and saw that the sky had completely darkened, and the whole ruined temple was even more gloomy.

The two Taoist priests quickly went into hiding.

And Wang Chen actually took out a candle from his package and lit it, and then continued to read by candlelight.

It was late at night, and there was a dead silence around the entire mountain temple, as if there were no insects and birds, and the silence was a little terrifying.

I don't know when, a gust of wind blew into the mountain temple, and in the whimper, the candle was directly blown out.

Then I heard an eerie laugh echoing through the night, and the sound seemed to have no source.

"Giggles, finally caught a big fish!" A shrill voice sounded like nails scratching iron.

The Taoist priest, who was originally hiding in the shadows, immediately felt the cold wind swishing in his back, as if a ghost claw was grabbing them.

The faces of the two changed greatly, and when they turned around, they saw a black mist rushing in.

Two pale and bloodless ghost claws with long, pointed nails protruded from it.

"Not good!" The two Taoist priests immediately blocked with the magic swords in their hands, and at the same time activated their true qi, sacrificed talismans, and turned into golden fireballs and attacked the black mist.

But the ghost claw easily fired two fireballs.

Boom - Boom -

The fireball exploded, but did no damage to the black mist.

In the midst of the black mist, a female ghost in a red dress emerged, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Giggles, a late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, an early stage of the Foundation Building Realm, it's not bad, it's enough for the old lady to have a full meal!"

In fact, this female ghost is not an ordinary female ghost, but a ghost cultivator in the Jindan Realm.

Playing the role of a little ghost who sucks the essence of a man here, the real purpose is to fish.

Attract ghost-hunting cultivators.

In other words, the cultivator is her real goal.

After all, the essence blood true qi of a monk in the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm brought him nourishment was far more useful than the essence of thousands of ordinary strong men.

Not to mention the true qi and essence of the Foundation Building Realm cultivators, no matter how many ordinary people can't compare.

If she can "suck dry" these two monks tonight, her strength will increase a lot.

When the time comes, change places, repeat the old tricks, and continue to pretend to be ordinary ghosts to make trouble, attracting ghost-hunting monks.

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from the female ghost, the faces of the two Taoist priests turned ugly.

"Oh no, we're fooled, this isn't an ordinary little ghost!"

"Run!" The two Taoist priests didn't say a word, and they wanted to escape.

After all, they know that they are not opponents at all, and if they don't escape, there is only a dead end.

However, the moment they turned around, they found that two huge ghost claws appeared behind them, and the female ghost appeared behind them at some point.

No, they thought they had turned and fled, but they turned around and returned to square one.

The two of them were shocked and tried to resist, but found that their bodies had been grabbed by the ghost's claws.

The long, narrow nails turned into ropes that wrapped around their bodies.

No matter how much they struggled, they couldn't break free, and their bodies were slowly swallowed by the black mist.

The ghost's pale cheeks appeared behind their ears, smirking grimly.

The two Taoist priests were so frightened that their faces turned to ashes and they cried out in horror.

At this moment, a voice came slowly......

Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds.

The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star.

It is said that it is Haoran, and it is full of gloom.

The royal road is clear, containing and Tuming Court.

When the poor festival is seen, one by one.

In Qi Tai Shi Jian, in Jin Dong Fox Pen.

As the sound of the recitation sounded, wisps of golden light shot out from the ruined temple, instantly illuminating the night sky and dispelling the darkness.

The golden light fell on the female ghost, and she suddenly made a sneering sound.

The female ghost's face changed drastically, and she looked at the ruined temple in horror, not knowing what was happening.

She knew that there was a scholar inside, but she didn't pay attention to it.

I didn't expect the other party to be a master.

And this golden light is very strong, and it is not at all comparable to her.

The female ghost was terrified in her heart, and immediately fled with two Taoist priests.

However, he found that the heavens and the earth were echoing with the sound of chanting and chanting.

The surroundings were completely shrouded in golden light, and a tall and majestic figure appeared in the golden light, surrounding the surroundings.

They may hold a scroll in their hands, or they may stand with a spear, or they may be elegant, or they may be heroic, or they may have deep eyes, or they may have fierce eyes.

But each figure is extraordinary, surrounded by righteousness, tall and majestic, such as pine and cypress, such as towering mountains, upright, righteous and awe-inspiring.

Behind them are the sun, moon and stars, and at their feet are mountains, rivers and mountains.

The aura they emitted terrified the female ghost, but there was no way to escape.

In the next second, a golden sword condensed in front of these figures, and then shot towards her.

"No—"

The female ghost howled bitterly, and tried her best to resist, but found that she couldn't resist at all.

His body was instantly torn apart by those long swords, and he was wiped out in the screams.
