“Because there's a special smell in this underground palace,”

Li Ang smiled calmly, "You might not believe me if I said it, but I know a special kind of magic.

Once cast, I can smell any specific odor within a radius of several miles.

Even a drop of blood diluted a thousand times can be traced back to its source.”

Are you a shark?

“I see.

So you smelled the bloody scent on the auspicious creature and found your way here.”

Miss Chai couldn't help but complain in her heart, but her face still maintained a calm and composed expression. She snapped her fingers casually,

and four iron chains immediately dropped from the ceiling that had been slid open by the special effects worms, suspending an iron cage.

The half-human, half-ape auspicious creature was lying motionless at the bottom of the iron cage, its life or death unknown.

“To be precise,”

Li Ang glanced at the Annamese delegation in the distance, and said with a smile that was not a smile, “It should be the stench of the auspicious creature that hasn’t been washed for a long time and is sprayed with scented dew.”

A high monk is indeed a high monk.

The Annamese monks, who were pointed out for not bathing the auspicious creature for a long time and only using perfume to cover up the smell, closed their eyes and recited Buddhist scriptures on their own,

as if they were not the ones being accused of animal abuse.

“Although you have forgotten many things,

your nature has never changed.

You just like to collect all kinds of treasures and exotic animals,

placing them in the pavilions of your cave dwelling for your own collection and appreciation.

Just like what is recorded in the classics.”

Li Ang glanced at Miss Chai and said calmly, "That auspicious creature that can speak human language must have been captured by you."

Li Yushan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously asked, "How does the Daoist priest know this senior..."

“He is my grand master uncle, Wu Yaozi.”

Li Ang sighed and said leisurely, "Alas, it's a pity. My grand master was so talented and had such a gift in his lifetime.

Whether it was learning the Dao, cultivating, fighting,

or refining pills, making medicine, or forging artifacts,

he could be said to be self-taught and made rapid progress.

But he just couldn't see through the mortal world and forget emotions.

In the end, he was trapped and hurt by love, driven mad and turned into a demon, and trapped underground.

This time, I came to Luzhou for two things: one is for the auspicious creature,

and the other is to investigate the situation of my grand master uncle.”

The crowd's eyes flickered upon hearing this. Before this, no one had ever heard of any overseas immortal mountain sect.

But judging from Wu Yaozi's strength, this hidden sect might be unexpectedly powerful?

“By the way,”

Li Ang raised his head and asked, "What about Bai Yongyan, the deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect in Luzhou, who took the auspicious creature down to the underground?"

“You mean the person who ran in with an iron cage and disturbed my long sleep?”

Miss Chai pointed to the strange-shaped legion of natural disasters below and said indifferently, "He probably accidentally discovered this tunnel and wanted to use the tunnel to escape from Luzhou City.

I thought the ape he was carrying was quite interesting, so I guided him to the underground palace,

refined him into a puppet, and kept the ape.”

“As expected.”

Li Ang sighed, "I originally thought that thousands of years of loneliness and tempering could wear away the cruelty and tyranny of my grand master uncle.

I didn't expect that your demonic nature is so deep that it cannot be eradicated.

In that case, don't blame this junior for being unfilial. I will take you back to the immortal island and rebuild the seal!"

Miss Chai frowned, and the azure eyes under the steel helmet flickered, "What are you going to do?"

Li Ang did not answer.

He reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, slowly drawing out an ordinary-looking, simple long sword.

The temperature in the underground palace dropped sharply in an instant, and the ground was covered with an exaggerated layer of frost.

The river of mercury directly stopped flowing and froze into ice.

Everyone shivered and hurriedly circulated their mana to resist the all-pervading cold.

Just drawing his sword can affect the weather...

Clang—

Li Ang drew his sword out of its sheath, standing proudly and independently, the tip of the sword pointing diagonally at the ground, his posture extremely handsome.

“Interesting.”

Standing on top of the pyramid, Miss Chai tilted her head and gave a calm evaluation as she gently rotated the paper Frostmourne resting on the ground, "Unfortunately, with just this amount of ability, you're still far from enough."

Before she finished speaking,

the countless iron chains locked on the steel armor broke apart at the same time.

The pyramid bricks under the armor burst and exploded, raising countless dust,

and even the entire underground palace was shaking and trembling.

It looked as if Miss Chai had easily broken through the seal and was releasing her power.

“Ah, finally free.”

She casually squeezed her palm, making a cracking sound of metal shattering, and said to Li Ang, who was slowly stepping down, "Hoh?

Instead of choosing to escape, you're approaching me?

My grand-disciple, you're really bold."

“If I don’t get close to you, how can I cut you into a human stick?”

Li Ang's expression was calm as he held his sword and took a step forward,

the indestructible bluestone brick turning into powder the moment it was stepped on.

The onlookers on the side did not know what kind of relationship these two had,

but they could clearly feel that the entire underground palace was trembling for the battle between the two (actually, it was the special effects worms shaking the foundation).

Is this what it's like when gods fight?!

The crowd huddled together in the corner, feeling the cold that was raging in the underground palace,

and looked at the two people approaching each other in the middle of the underground palace with shocked expressions,

involuntarily comparing them to the strongest people they knew.

During this period, a little bit of faith power pointing to the Ximenzi Daoist priest naturally arose.

According to plan.

Li Ang still maintained the posture of holding his sword and stepping forward, his heart calm.

He went to great lengths to secretly build the tunnel, and tried to gather the odd people and strangers in Luzhou,

the ultimate goal,

was naturally not to eliminate them all,

but to show his holiness in front of people, like before, and let these cultivators spread the achievements of the Ximenzi Daoist priest in the mortal world,

so as to collect more faith power.

In order to achieve this goal, he had to rely on some tools, tool worms, to render the power of the Ximenzi Daoist priest—

“Azure Underworld Demon Sword!”

Miss Chai shouted and raised the paper Frostmourne, slashing diagonally at Li Ang.

The special effects worms hidden in the stone wall immediately created a brilliant light around Miss Chai,

simulating an arc of sword light about twenty meters long, cutting off the beams and pillars on the left and right, and flying towards Li Ang.

How is that possible?!

The eyeballs of the onlookers on the side almost popped out.

Such a wide and long external sword energy floated past in front of them,

but they did not feel any mana fluctuations.

Could it be that this is the legendary,

perfect use of all mana, without producing any external consumption, the realm of Qi Gathering and Spirit Condensation, God's Light Hidden Within?

“Useless, useless!”

Li Ang shook his head, held the blade in front of him, and faced the external sword light head-on.

With a casual slash, he completely tore the long arc of light in half,

calmly passing straight through the gap in the sword light, without even disturbing his footsteps and breath.

Boom boom!

The sword light, split into two, bombarded the ground, directly tearing the ground and leaving Λ-shaped deep cracks on the ground (actually done by special effects worms).
