The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

After scanning the vicinity with his soul-detecting eyes and confirming that there were no more cultivators, Li Qing flew out of the hall with a storage bag.

And somewhere Li Qing didn't know, a crisis was about to come.

A hundred miles away from the Nether Abyss.

The Ghost King Sect’s Netherworld Abyss branch, inside the Soul Hall.

Soul tablets are suspended in the air, arranged neatly like a pyramid.

The Soul Hall, which had been silent for a hundred years, suddenly had a soul tablet floating on the upper level shattered.

The fragments left after the soul tablet was broken did not fall directly to the ground, but instead emitted a glow, floated in the air for a while, and then crashed into a large black bell in the center of the hall.

Dang, Dang, Dang! !

A huge bell sounded, spreading throughout the sect, and all the disciples in the sect heard it clearly.

However, some of the younger students looked at each other in confusion, not knowing the meaning of the bell.

But they also knew that something big had happened, and for a moment all the disciples were a little frightened, thinking that the righteous sects were coming to encircle and suppress them.

"It's the Soul Bell! It's the Soul Bell ringing!"

"Six shots! An elder has fallen!"

"Ah? Could it be that the righteous sect is going to start a war?"

"What should I do? I was just forced to join the Demon Sect, and now I'm going to be exorcised and defend the Dao?"

"I heard that the Blood Sea Sect and the Beast Taming Sect are fighting fiercely now. Could it be that other righteous sects are also unable to sit still?"

"Damn it! I just took over the task of guarding the mine from Junior Brother Song's vacant position yesterday. Why did this happen?!"

……

After the bell rang, there was silence for less than a moment before a riot broke out in the sect.

This incident, which had not happened for a hundred years, left most of the disciples at a loss as to what to do.

Some clever disciples began to think about how to escape from the sect.

The disciples of the Demon Sect had no sense of belonging to the sect to begin with, and now that a Jindan elder had died inexplicably, it seemed like a big change was about to happen.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

The disciples of the Demon Sect value their own lives more than anything else, and no one has ever thought of standing together with the sect.

The Qi Refining disciples are especially anxious. Once something big happens, they will be the first cannon fodder to die.

Just like ants at the mercy of others, any storm can take their lives.

However, disciples at this level are not qualified to be controlled by the Ghost King Sect with any powerful means, and their missions outside are only controlled by taking some poison pills.

Therefore, the chance of escaping is still very great. At this moment, some veteran Qi-refining disciples have already begun to use means to leave the sect quietly.

The disciples who were in the foundation-building stage, on the other hand, were in a completely different situation. They remained calm and composed, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.

After a foundation-building disciple is promoted, he will be required to take a wisp of soul and refine a soul tablet. His life and death will be controlled by the sect, and it will be difficult for him to leave the sect.

Of course, as the realm improves to the Golden Core or even the Nascent Soul stage, even if this wisp of spirit is destroyed by someone later, there will be no danger to life.

But by then, he had already become a high-ranking member of the sect. Bound by interests, he had to protect the Ghost King Sect and it would be difficult for him to break away.

Just as the disciples were rioting, inside the sect, on the highest mountain.

Due to the special nature of the Soul Bell, the dull bell sounds actually passed through the formation set up around the mountain and traveled towards the interior of the mountain.

In a cave built in the mountain, a Yuanying demon cultivator with white hair and a youthful face slowly opened his eyes after hearing the bell.

His eyes were like swords, seemingly indifferent to everything, just like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to bite anyone.

As the Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator slowly finished his practice, a powerful sense of oppression followed, which instantly swept across the entire mountain gate with this mountain as the center.

Those disciples who were still creating chaos, after feeling this pressure, immediately fell to the ground as if someone was strangling their throats.

The entire sect fell silent again in an instant.

Xu Rulin scanned the entire sect with his spiritual sense and immediately knew what had happened.

He just opened his mouth and moved, and a word blessed by magical power immediately spread throughout the sect.

"All the Jindan elders in the sect, come up to see me!"

……

Li Qing came to the back of the palace and finally saw the evil spirit he had been thinking about.

I saw a naturally formed evil pit with a diameter of three feet on the ground in front of me, emitting wisps of black mist, which was all absorbed by a flag on the pit.

Although he already knew it was the evil spirit of enchantment, Li Qing still confirmed it again and again based on the memories passed down in his memory. He was relieved only after he was sure that he had not found the wrong one.

Seeing the flag absorbing the evil spirit, Li Qing finally understood. It turned out that it was not what he thought, that it summoned ghosts and then fell into the pit to absorb the evil spirit.

Instead, he directly used the Yinhun Banner to absorb the evil spirits and supply them to the ghosts in the banner.

In this case, it seemed that he didn't need to kill the Jindan demon cultivator and could steal the soul-stirring evil spirit quietly.

After learning about the information about the evil pit, he thought that he would have to fight against the Jindan demon cultivator who occupied the evil pit no matter what, so he took the initiative to strike first.

If he knew this situation, he would definitely not kill people directly.

Obtaining the enchanting evil spirit silently and killing a Ghost King Sect's Jindan and then obtaining the enchanting evil spirit, although both of these are not difficult to do, the subsequent risk factor is different.

Li Qing knew that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge of the Ghost King's branch a hundred miles away.

Killing a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator is fine, but killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator, who is already a high-ranking cultivator in the sect, will definitely attract the attention of the Ghost King Sect and be pursued.

When he was in the Beast Taming Sect, Li Qing knew about the existence of a soul tablet. Now that Jin Dan is dead, the Ghost King Sect must have known about it.

At this moment, Li Qing had to prepare for the worst. Perhaps the Nascent Soul cultivator who was in charge of the Ghost King Sect's branch had already noticed it and was on his way.

After seeing the situation of the evil pit and the ghost banner, Li Qing thought a lot in just a short moment.

Coming back to his senses, looking at the flag, Li Qing directly put the magic weapon into Qingyu.

At this time, the owner of the Yinhun Banner was dead, and Li Qing collected it effortlessly.

The magic weapon like the Yinhun Banner is not ordinary. The ghost king cultivated in it is considered the spirit of the magic weapon.

If the owner of the magic weapon is still alive, he might resist, making it difficult to take the magic weapon.

Without any pause, Li Qing took out dozens of jade bottles that he had prepared in advance from Qingyu.

Many bottles and jars, as well as a yellow basin, were also taken out.

The third-level storage bag fell into the yellow basin on the ground.

Then he put the extra things into Qingyu, including the treasure bowl.

This operation was indeed a bit troublesome, but Li Qing had no choice but to do it.

Even though the spirit detector could not see any spiritual light or shadow around, he still had to do these troublesome operations in order to hide the treasure bowl.

Now he is in the Ghost King Sect’s camp, and his sect’s golden elixir is dead nearby.

With the background of the Ghost King Sect, if there was any secret method of retrospection and recording, just by the fact that he took out the cornucopia and used it afterwards, he might have exposed his biggest secret.
