My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Chapter 1289 - 1211: The Wicked and Wealthy Qingping Temple

The fierce and evil energy, as cold as a steel blade, transformed into a Kui Niu with tusks, charging at Teng Zhao, attempting to overwhelm him. But his Protective Jade Talisman slightly halted and blocked the force, yet the attack did not change its course, aiming to crush him.

Yet, the Divine Weapon arrived.

The limitless power erupted from the sharp Divine Artifact, slicing down and directly beheading the fierce and brutal Kui Niu formed from the evil energy.

The Kui Niu let out a piercing shriek.

Countless yin souls surged from the buffalo head—old men, children, men, women, even animals—various cries and shouts shaking one’s mind, leaving the Divine Soul stinging.

Evil, spirit, resentment intertwined, obscuring the sky and covering the sun.

Zhuzi was already so scared he couldn’t catch his breath, falling to the ground, with his soul leaving his body.

Teng Zhao immediately retrieved his soul, forcefully pushing it back, and pulled out several Spirit Talismans to press onto his forehead and both shoulders.

Chengyangzi, having reacted, quickly formed seals with his hands, grabbed Spirit Talismans, and swiftly laid out an Array in this area, preventing those resentful souls from rushing out. Otherwise, if such fierce yin souls escaped, the people of Juzi Village would be in grave danger.

Just as Qin Liuxi had said, he was also half a Foundation Establishment Cultivation high-level Taoist, and the Array he laid was like a Barrier being drawn, even the one or two souls trying to escape were hooked back by him with a horsetail whisk.

Within the Array, gusts of yin wind blew, ghostly wails and wolf howls, resembling an Evil Ghost’s hell.

Those Evil Ghosts couldn’t escape the Array, only charging at Chengyangzi and others.

A Daoist is also human, eating them would be an extraordinary nourishment, as such cultivators mostly possess merit and faith.

Instantly, spiritual power and eerie ghost energy clashed.

Qin Liuxi decapitated the Kui Niu, seeing the yin souls disperse, her face turning solemn. These souls treated her as a large container for devouring souls, similar to a Ghost Tower, using countless yin souls to achieve themselves, refining into fierce evil, merging into an invisible lethal weapon.

And this weapon wounded her precious apprentice.

Qin Liuxi, full of evil spirit, tossed the Divine Weapon upwards: "Northern Mysterious Sky, elusive God, bright and clear universe, drive thunder and run clouds... Thunder Light bursting, five directions responding, extinguish the evil sect, slay evil!"

The Divine Weapon soared into the sky, rapidly rotating, releasing a Purple Thunder with thunderous might, its violet light dazzling the sun and sky. Strand upon strand like an electric net descended, slaughtering those fierce souls.

Qin Liuxi lightly tapped her toes, leaping into the air, grasping the Divine Weapon in her hand, merging with the Purple Thunder’s power, dashing into that invisible fierce evil energy.

Your ferocity, your evil, I am fiercer and eviler than you!

Man and Weapon as one.

Devouring that fierce evil energy.

Chengyangzi and his disciple both sacrificed their magic treasures, just intending to deal with those fierce souls, unexpectedly Qin Liuxi launched a big move, the fierce souls were shredded by the Purple Thunder electric net, turning to ash.

The two: "..."

Are we useless?

Looking again at Qin Liuxi’s side, they only saw a powerful Divine Weapon weapon with its pressure growing substantial as it devoured more fierce evil energy, causing sweat to bead on their foreheads.

Chengyangzi inwardly called out for Master Taicheng, we’ve been deceived, the Divine Artifact that appeared over at the Heavenly Mountain, indeed it was already in her possession.

The Man and Weapon withdrew their power.

The sky cleared.

Qin Liuxi stood there, emitting an aura of evil, even more terrifying than the fierce evil they saw before.

Chengyangzi and his disciple swallowed nervously.

Who dares provoke this?

Qin Liuxi glanced over, her gaze landing on the direction of Teng Zhao, quickly stepping over, saying: "Are you alright?"

Teng Zhao shook his head.

Little Ginseng saw her body exuding ice-cold evil energy, dared not be mischievous and obediently responded: "I have given Zhaozhao some ginseng pill."

Qin Liuxi still worried, taking his hand for a check, said: "He’s still been impacted."

She pinched a spell, dispelling the fierce evil energy inside him, and passed over a trace of spiritual power.

Teng Zhao said: "I can cultivate myself, you don’t need to spend spiritual power."

"This bit of spiritual power is nothing," Qin Liuxi glanced at Zhuzi, said: "He’s not a big problem, give him a Soul Stabilizing Talisman."

Teng Zhao agreed.

Chengyangzi and his disciple walked over, concernedly asked: "Buqiu, little Daoist, are you alright? Was that fierce evil from the Evil Beast transforming?"

"It’s like the Northwest Ghost Tower, but it refines into extreme fierce ghost evil using yin soul resentment. If it spreads, many will become its nourishment." Qin Liuxi said while stepping into the ancestral hall.

Chengyangzi followed by her side, said: "These Stone Beasts, once turned into fierce evil, either bring disaster or refine into such fierce evil demon thing, what exactly is their use? If all die becoming yin souls, even turning into such Evil Ghosts, wouldn’t this world become an evil spirit lair?"

Qin Liuxi said: "A small world exists, relying on all things, if all things grow, vitality bursts forth, the Heavenly Dao rules naturally exist. If all things wither, it’s annihilation, and Heavenly Dao..."

Chengyangzi thought about the image of all things withering, turned pale, said: "Does he really have this ability?"

"If Heavenly Dao wants to save itself, it will suppress him. But not mentioning whether he has this ability, merely creating these things, isn’t the world chaotic now? Can we cultivators still peacefully cultivate?"

Chengyangzi shook his head, just slaying evil righteously takes a lot of our energy and even cultivation, how can we cultivate peacefully?

Not everyone is like Qin Liuxi, born with extraordinary talent as a Dao seed, possessing high cultivation, strong spiritual power, endless spiritual energy. In reality, in this world where Spiritual Energy is scarce, many Taoists spend a lot of Spiritual Energy just to draw a single Spirit Talisman. Even oneself, drawing ordinary peace charms is feasible, but if it’s high-level ones, like Five Thunders Talismans, drawing one requires retreat and recuperation for several days, not easily taken out for use.

How like Qin Liuxi’s lot?

Chengyangzi glanced at the Spirit Talismans pressed on Zhuzi’s body, then watched as Teng Zhao took out a stack of talismans, flipped through them, pulled out a Soul Stabilizing Talisman, directly refined it into his mouth, his eye twitching.

A stack of Spirit Talismans, this wicked yet wealthy Qingping Temple!

Everyone is of the Taoist family, why does the gifted Dao seed only fall to their household, while their White Cloud Temple, are they not worthy?

Chengyangzi glanced at his disciple, openly expressing an attitude of disdain.

Su Ming was also slightly envious of Teng Zhao’s wealth, then seeing his elder master’s look of disgust, he instantly stiffened.

Qin Liuxi continued: "Handling the troubles caused by these Stone Beasts alone has already consumed many of our people and resources, some Stone Beasts even require bearing causality, clearly dragging our feet."

As she finished, she paused slightly.

Indeed, these Stone Beasts will delay cultivators’ progress, consuming their Spiritual Energy and spiritual power. Once Si Luo unleashes a big move, even if they wish to help, perhaps they will be powerless to do so.

But ignoring them, then the deceased and resultant disasters would be numerous.

Most cultivators don’t manage mundane matters; that is not about mundane matters but managing affairs that mundane people cannot, such as these evil demons, which they’re meant to manage.

Managing what mundane people cannot, that’s true Guardian!

Yet Si Luo insists on presenting such a choice before the Righteous Path: manage, get dragged down, don’t manage, they exist like a plague and explosive charms.

Righteous Path, caught in a dilemma.

Qin Liuxi lowered her gaze, pressing her left forefinger, this fellow, truly a bad seed!
