Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer-Chapter 234 - 233: A Spy? Alchemists from Dragon and Tiger Mountain Also Rushing to Maoshan [Part 1]
"What?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Daoists present were shocked.
Even the expressions of the three Masters changed one after another.
Only Lin Heng was slightly surprised: "That Maoshan Corpse Fiend, which has been giving Maoshan so much trouble, has only now entered the Celestial Human Realm?"
He thought it should be on the same level as the Black Mountain Demon.
Master Chao Ling said with a solemn expression: "The Corpse Fiend's physical body is extraordinarily gifted, far surpassing others in the same realm. Previously, even without entering the Celestial Human Realm, it left the successive ancestors of Maoshan helpless, able only to suppress it. Now that it has entered the Celestial Human Realm, it is even harder to kill..."
"It's even possible that Maoshan might face destruction today!"
This was not mere alarmism.
In the past, that Corpse Fiend won with its terrifying physical body, while the power of slaughter was not obvious.
But now that it has broken through to the Celestial Human Realm, it's a completely different story.
"Maoshan is on the brink of disaster, please, the three Masters of Wudang, hurry to aid them!!"
"I beg the three Masters, save my Maoshan!"
At this moment, the Daoist who relayed the Sect Leader's message directly knelt on the ground. He was one of the Elders of Maoshan, with the Daoist title Ge Feng. Upon hearing about the upheaval in Maoshan, he couldn't help but feel flustered and quickly pleaded for help from the three of Wudang.
As he knelt, many disciples of Maoshan also followed suit, pleading sadly with the three from Wudang.
"I beg the three Masters, please, save my Maoshan!!"
For a moment, all eyes were on the three Masters.
Of course, the three would not refuse, righteously declaring, "Now that Daoism is declining, various sects and factions should work together. How could we stand by and watch?"
"You all should guard the Demon-locking Tower well. Once the matter at Maoshan is settled, we will return immediately!"
"I will go with the three seniors!" Lin Heng also spoke at this time.
The three paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Very well, Mr. Lin, with your heaven-reaching abilities and the Immortal Soldier in hand, we may indeed need your help to deal with that Celestial Human Corpse Fiend!"
"Let's go!"
Saying this, the four of them left Shushan without hesitation.
"Wait for me..." The Black Bear Spirit also hurriedly followed along.
Unexpectedly, halfway through their journey.
The space beside Lin Heng suddenly rippled, and a Beauty Scroll emerged, from which Nie Xiaoqian ran out.
Hmm?
The sudden aura of a female ghost caused the footsteps of the three Wudang Masters to halt, and they frowned as they looked over.
Lin Heng was slightly surprised: "Why did you run out?"
Ever since Nie Xiaoqian left Black Mountain, she had been following Lin Heng around. She had accompanied him to Shushan this time but had not shown herself until now.
Her sudden appearance from the scroll made Lin Heng somewhat curious.
Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly said, "You can't all go; that Maoshan Daoist is a spy. I overheard him conspiring with others to make a move on the Demon-locking Tower!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Heng's brows immediately furrowed tightly.
The three Wudang Masters were puzzled: "Mr. Lin, she?"
Lin Heng quickly explained, "She is a friend of mine, a modest female ghost with a good and pure heart."
Then he turned to Nie Xiaoqian and asked, "So, there's no upheaval at Maoshan? This is just a pretext to lure us away?"
"Not exactly,"
Nie Xiaoqian replied, "It seems something did happen at Maoshan, which is why they decided to act."
"Oh, right, they're planning to relocate the five elders from the Imperial City soon."
"Once all of you in the Immortal Platform Realm are gone, someone will make a move on the Demon-locking Tower!"
These conspiracies were actually discovered by Nie Xiaoqian when she was wandering around Shushan's entire territory, thanks to her aura being isolated within the scroll.
The Venerable Guangming of the Celestial Human Realm could not find her back then, let alone the Maoshan spy.
She had been listening the whole time while they plotted.
The reason why she didn't reveal it in Shushan was simply due to lack of evidence.
Moreover, Nie Xiaoqian thought that perhaps they could use this opportunity to lay a trap and catch them all at once, cleaning up any traitors within their ranks.
After expressing her thoughts, the three Masters and Lin Heng all nodded in agreement.
"That's indeed advisable."
"But what about the Maoshan Corpse Fiend?"
Master Lian Zhou frowned and asked.
"I will go," Lin Heng said.
"This..."
The three seemed a bit worried, but Lin Heng reassured them, "Don't worry, seniors. Since I could slay the Black Mountain Demon, even if this Corpse Fiend's physical body is extraordinary, imprisoning it shouldn't be a problem."
"The Demon-locking Tower is of utmost importance; the three seniors should focus on Shushan."
Lin Heng's words were indeed modest, for his cultivation had soared after slaying the Black Mountain Demon.
Now dealing with an ordinary Celestial Human, it wouldn't be as easy as cutting through vegetables but certainly not difficult.
"Very well, Mr. Lin, do be careful. Once we've cleared this side, we'll come immediately!"
"Farewell!"
Cultivators act swiftly; after finalizing their plan, they parted ways efficiently without dawdling.
However, the Black Bear Spirit, who arrived late, was bewildered upon seeing the three Masters suddenly returning.
"I'll explain on the way."
Before the Black Bear Spirit could ask, Lin Heng grabbed it by the neck and turned into a stream of light, quickly heading toward Maoshan.
"Goodness, a spy?"
The Black Bear Spirit was completely bewildered upon learning about the situation en route.
.....
Lin Heng's speed was incredibly fast, cutting through clouds and mist, and in just a short time, he reached the location indicated by the Black Bear Spirit.
He had yet to enter the true Inner Realm of Maoshan.
Lin Heng could already see the sky above was overcast with clouds, and there seemed to be a faint putrid energy seeping from the ground.
"Goodness, the corpse energy is even seeping out?"
"It seems that thing is truly about to emerge?"
The Black Bear Spirit clicked its tongue in astonishment.
Lin Heng, however, was straightforward: "How do we get into the Inner Heaven and Earth?"
The Black Bear Spirit was a bit embarrassed: "As a demon, I don't dare to go to Maoshan, so I really don't know how to get in..."
Lin Heng was a bit speechless.
Does it not know how to enter Shushan or Maoshan?
Yet, the path to the Buddhist Saint Sect is like its backyard?
"Never mind, we'll just have to force our way in again."
Lin Heng muttered, his gaze becoming sharper.
However, just as he was about to use the Immortal Sword to forcibly open Maoshan's Inner Heaven and Earth, a group of Daoists suddenly approached from a distance.
"Huh?"
"From Dragon and Tiger Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion? And an Alchemist?"
The Black Bear Spirit immediately recognized the origin of their Daoist robes, which was quite peculiar: amidst a group of old men was a small-sized girl of about seventeen or eighteen, wearing a loose Daoist robe.
Interestingly, the sleeves of the others' Daoist robes bore five or six rings of cloud patterns, but the girl's sleeves had eight circles of golden embroidery.
Moreover, the others seemed to be centered around her.
As if this little girl was the core of this group of Daoists.
At that moment, they also noticed Lin Heng and the Black Bear Spirit.
Seeing this combination of a person and a demon, they also paused in surprise.
The leading young girl looked cautious: "Righteous Dao? Evil Dao?"
