Do not die

The source of the threat was completely wiped out from the physical level, and the crimson light emitting from the mouth and nose of the statue also disappeared.

But soon, the statue spewed out crimson rays from its mouth and nose, shooting in another direction not far from the bloody mass.

Because not far away from the dirty blood, Meng Zhou's figure appeared again, and he unabashedly showed strong malice towards the statue.

Soon, the crimson luster reached her body again.

Meng Zhou's flesh and blood body once again turned into a pool of dirty blood.

But at another place not far from the pool of dirty blood, Meng Zhou's figure appeared out of thin air again, drawing out the crimson ray that had just been interrupted from the statue again.

Meng Zhou had many ways to deal with the crimson rays emitted by the statue.

In the end, he chose the one in front of him.

His purpose is not only to deal with the threat of the statue itself, but also to make an attempt.

The crimson ray seemed to hit his body, and soon turned his flesh and blood into a pool of dirty blood.

But his true form was not affected in any way.

What really suffered on his behalf was Tai Sui's body, which he transformed into flesh and blood.

A long time ago, after Meng Zhou just realized the refining method of Tai Sui's body that suits his wishes, Meng Zhou used his own heart essence and blood to transform more than twenty Tai Sui's bodies.

Due to the limitations of Tai Sui's flesh and blood, these Tai Sui's bodies are all of the third-level low-grade quality, and the transformed flesh and blood bodies can only show the level of cultivation at the peak of the third level of elixir formation.

For him now, these things can hardly be called "tasteless". They have basically been lying idle in the spirit gourd space for these years.

Now, they have fulfilled their final mission.

At the same time, it also verified the authenticity of Tai Sui's body's ability to "replace life" with its own complete destruction.

“This so-called substitute life did not really give me a second life.

It’s more like the ‘shell’ that comes out of the ‘golden cicada’ to use it as a cover-up and to confuse others. "

“However, whether it is a real method or a deception method, it actually doesn’t matter at all.

As long as it can really block the enemy's eyes, it is true. "

This kind of "substitute death" ability was effective against such a weird statue, which surprised Meng Zhou. He did not expect that relying on this Tai Sui body could really block the eyes of enemies at the Yuanying level.

Therefore, Meng Zhou did not feel sorry for these Tai Sui bodies that turned into dirty blood.

As three consecutive bodies of Tai Sui turned into dirty blood, Meng Zhou clearly felt that the divine will surrounding this statue was much "purer".

It seemed that three consecutive attacks had consumed a lot of it.

Then, Meng Zhou deceived another powerful blow at the cost of Tai Sui's body turning into dirty blood.

The divine will lingering around the statue has also become purer, and it is basically not much different from the ownerless divine will that Meng Zhou collected from other third-level Lihen statues.

This time, Meng Zhou stretched out his hand to grab the statue from a distance.

Feeling the threat, light once again shot out from the statue's mouth and nose.

However, compared to the previous times, the color has become lighter and lighter.

As the target of the attack, Meng Zhou, who had an unusually sharp intuition for danger, was only slightly aroused, probably as much as the cool breeze blowing on his face.

Meng Zhou guessed that he could withstand such an attack even if he did nothing. He only relied on his powerful physique to reach the third level of high-grade physical training with his real body.

However, despite this judgment in his heart, Meng Zhou did not really take the risk.

His outstretched right hand changed from the five fingers spread out in a grasping shape to the index finger and the front finger, facing the direction of the light ray from a distance.

The index finger shoots out a stream of extremely cold energy, and the middle finger shoots out a stream of extremely hot energy.

The moment the two completely left-directed forces shot out of the fingertips, they became spirally entangled, seemingly fused but not fused, seemingly separated but actually integrated.

"Chi——"

The hot and cold spiral that shot out and the light rays sprayed from the statue's mouth and nose collided fiercely about three or four meters in front of Meng Zhou.

Such two powerful forces, such a violent frontal impact, only made a very slight "chi" sound.

Apart from this slight movement, there was no bigger movement.

There was no loud thunder or violent impact. Both sides concentrated all their power on one point and annihilated each other in the continuous confrontation.

"Isn't this now a matter of internal strength?"

Seeing that the cold and heat spirals emitted by myself and the light rays ejected by the statue have been stagnant since they "met", I couldn't help but think so jokingly in my heart.

Although there was a temporary stalemate, Meng Zhou was not impatient at all. As time passed, he became more and more optimistic about the outcome.

This cold-heat spiral was just a temporary gadget he came up with.

But that doesn’t mean that this is really a “gadget”.

This simple finger not only contains his profound understanding of the "all things law" of small supernatural powers, but also contains his practice of the "water nature" of "cold and heat nature".

Because he rarely takes action, he has never ignored the foundations that were laid early in the foundation building or even Qi training.

For example, he has never ignored the analysis and understanding of "water nature" that he summarized and refined as early as when he was practicing qi and used it as his core foundation.

These achievements have long been integrated into his cultivation instinct, and as his cultivation level improves, his skills will increase.

Therefore, his seemingly casual finger actually contained his profound understanding of the practice.

The tit-for-tat sides are like tug-of-war.

But the stalemate did not last long.

Suddenly, Meng Zhou felt the power on the other side loosen.

Then, this cold and hot spiral shot out from his fingertips almost in the blink of an eye, shot through the stone pillar of the wall between him and the statue, and hit the "plain" statue between the eyebrows.

The last remaining trace of the "intent" of the god on this statue disappeared.

It turned into a "clean" statue with many ownerless gods attached to it.

Seeing these masterless thoughts, Meng Zhou's mouth showed a happy smile.

No, he didn't immediately take stock of the harvest, but put it into the spirit gourd space and put it in his bag.

Then, his eyes fell on the statue of Lihen next to him.

The reaction of this statue of Lihen to threats was much slower than that of the one he had put into the spirit gourd space.

However, when Meng Zhou planned to store it, at the last moment, the statue of Lihen finally responded.

Although its reaction is slower, when it fully explodes, the threat is higher than the one encountered before.

After all, this is still the headquarters of the Lihen Sect.

When the counterattack from the three heads and three sides of the Lihen Statue came, Meng Zhou felt that he was being severely submerged in the ocean of pure hatred.

In order to consume the divine will of the statue of Lihen, which had gradually "taken ownership", Meng Zhou paid the price of six third-level low-grade Tai Sui bodies turning into dirty blood.

And up to this moment, the threat posed to him by this statue of Lihen was higher than the previous statue that only consumed four bodies of Tai Sui.

But Meng Zhou did not continue to consume more Tai Sui's body. He chose to fight with him now.

After the last practice, he had a better understanding of the cold-heat spiral and became more proficient in mastering it. He was confident to deal with it.

The result was as expected. It didn't take long for the divine will surrounding the statue of Lihen to become "clean" again.

Since then, this statue of Lihen has also become a collection in the Mengzhou Linghu space.

After that, Meng Zhou followed the same pattern and successively eliminated the hidden dangers of the other four statues and put them into the spirit gourd space.

For this reason, he paid the price of having all fourteen third-level low-grade Taisu bodies turned into dirty blood.

——As more and more statues of gods were dealt with, Meng Zhou became more and more experienced in using cold and heat spirals, allowing Meng Zhou to dare to face more difficult challenges, and the body of Tai Sui consumed by each statue became much less.

He carefully "cleaned" the palace and took away everything he could, leaving only a bare stone palace and the altar in the central main hall.

Before leaving, Meng Zhou took one last look at the altar and gave up the idea of ​​completely destroying it.

The performance of the six statues surprised Meng Zhou.

But more importantly, it’s easy.

What he is most worried about is facing the real "Statue of Lihen". Even if it is just a "phantom of the Statue of Lihen", the threat it can bring to him must definitely exceed the performance of these six statues. .

But the result is that the threat of these six statues is limited to the six statues themselves.

In particular, the three statues of Lihen did not summon the "phantoms of the statues of Lihen" to assist in the battle.

Although Meng Zhou was also prepared to deal with it, since it didn't happen, he couldn't take the initiative to provoke it.

The core purpose has been achieved, so let’s leave this altar alone for the time being and ignore it.

Meng Zhou had a hunch that if he ever thought of destroying it, the noise would definitely be greater than the six statues he had collected before combined.

Why bother?

Before leaving, Meng Zhou used the Time Flowing Sword and Time Editing to edit some of the time traces in this area, completely erasing the traces related to him. At the same time, he also made some changes to the canyon spiritual land. Rationalized disguise.

Finally, Meng also looked at the formation covering the canyon spiritual land like a pot lid, and the faint divine will attached to the surface of the formation.

Meng Zhou thought for a while and gave up the idea of ​​packing and dismantling this formation as well.

"Enough is enough. If this causes unnecessary trouble...it's really not necessary."

Thinking like this, Meng Zhou quietly "sneaked out" of this place.

…

The scale of this operation was undoubtedly huge, beyond the imagination of ordinary monks.

Even Meng Zhou put some of the tactics in his mind into practice for the first time.

However, because the hiding place of the Lihen Cult was already secret, and the Lihen Cult members in the Four Domains had various identities as cover, Meng Zhou's actions were precise and fast.

In addition, the dead were blown into ashes, and the survivors were also packed into special storage spaces one by one. It was true that no one could be seen alive but no dead body.

If it is exposed, even if it is just a scale claw, it will be a big event that can shock the entire five regions, and all eyes will be attracted immediately.

But the truth is that until Meng Zhou returned to Qi Yunfeng, there was no news related to it.

No one knew that a behemoth named Lihen Sect, which spanned the five domains and made the five sects feel troublesome, had completely collapsed.

"fair enough."

Meng Zhou was also happy to see this.

——If he hadn't planned the entire operation so carefully, it wouldn't have been possible to be as quiet as it is now, and it would have caused an uproar in the five regions.

After returning to Qiyun Peak, there was still some time before the date agreed with the ancestors of the five sects. Meng Zhou waited patiently while taking stock of the results of this operation.

Harvest.

This is undoubtedly an unprecedented harvest.

Not only were all the Lihen Sects in the four domains except Qingxuan Domain wiped out by him.

More importantly, he also uprooted the real headquarters of the Five Realms Lihen Sect hidden deep in the third level evil veins.

All the things that could be scraped away, even if most of them were almost worthless to Meng Zhou now, Meng Zhou did not let go at all.

However, what Meng Zhou really values ​​​​is naturally the "alchemy ice sculptures" that he specially collected.

Then there is a Lihen statue that every Lihen Sect monk at the level of pill formation has.

…

At the top of Qiyun Peak, among the stone pavilions near the cliff.

Meng Zhou stretched out his hand and caught the storage bags that could contain life forms that fell from the sky one after another.

As for the larger number of storage equipment containing various trophies, Meng Zhou allowed the returning "Transparent Round Mirror" to throw them into the open space next to them.

After holding all the "Elixir-forming Ice Sculptures" collected in this operation, Meng Zhou began to clean them carefully.

"In the alchemy domain, there are five alchemy masters."

"Golden Cauldron Territory, there are four Pill Formers."

"Conquering the spirit realm, forming six pills."

"Hehuan Domain, there are five pill collectors."

"Twenty in total."

"The Canyon Spiritual Land, there are seventeen people who have formed pills."

"Total all together, this is...thirty-seven people."

Among the thirty-seven Dan Jie, there are three whose cultivation has reached the ninth level of Dan Jie, comparable to the ancestors of the five sects.

There are also two people on the seventh level of pill formation.

In addition, there are eleven members in the middle stage of the alchemy period and twenty-one members in the early stage of the alchemy period.

Even though Meng Zhou had known this for a long time, passing one after another in his hands was still very different from seeing it through a "transparent round mirror".

After getting this final data, Meng Zhou couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

If the Lihen Sect in the Qingxuan Domain hadn't gone crazy, combined, this kind of foundation would have been as good as any of the five sects that each occupied a third-level spiritual vein.

More importantly, the Lihen Sect, which supported this situation, did not rely on a third-level spiritual vein.

It was almost based on the special characteristics of the Lihen Sect, plus scraping some spiritual leftovers here and there, and this was achieved.

If one ignores the essence of Lihen Sect’s “feeding on monks”, one might also think that Lihen Sect’s utilization efficiency of spiritual energy is far higher than that of the five sects.

Thirty-seven Jiedan disciples provided him with forty statues.

Among them, there are thirty-seven statues of the God of Lihen, and the other three are worshiped separately by the three ninth-level pill formations. Their images are also different, and they are not like the statues of the God of Lihen.
