In the eyes of many ordinary people.
We Daoists, who can cultivate and exorcise ghosts and demons, are all transcendent masters who are pure and desireless, detached from the mortal world.
But in reality, there are a lot of melodramatic events.
If ordinary people knew that our Daoist circles were still so chaotic, I wonder what their expressions would be.
Gossip is just gossip, for entertainment.
Once it’s over, I don't dwell on it anymore.
After dinner, I was quite tired.
I had lost a lot of blood while detoxifying Qing Dai previously, and I hadn't recovered yet.
I brought food to Old Mo and then returned to my residence alone.
Chen Yao and Qiu Xi were going to wander around elsewhere.
After leaving the cafeteria, I went straight back to my dwelling.
As I reached the entrance of the small courtyard, I saw Old Mo practicing his skills.
He was muttering in a low growl:
"Yu Lei, Yu Lei..."
As he spoke, he kept pointing forward with his sword fingers.
However, not a single spark of electricity could be seen.
"How's your practice going?"
I walked in with the food.
Seeing me return, Old Mo seemed disheartened:
"Alas! It's not easy to practice!
I'm starting to suspect if the lightning technique Master Uncle gave me is fake."
I placed the bento box on the stone table:
"Daoist Ju Cheng is an old friend of Master Uncle, he shouldn't have lied to you.
Try again, perhaps you will succeed.
I've left the food here for you to eat. I'm going back to my room to meditate and then sleep.
I'm so sleepy..."
Yawning, I walked into my room without paying Old Mo any mind.
Old Mo also ignored me, still shouting "Yu Lei, Yu Lei".
Inside my room, after washing up, I sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.
Morning and evening meditation had become a habit.
Unless I was particularly tired or had special circumstances, I did this every day.
With my eyes slightly closed, the seventeen streams of true qi in my dan tian began to circulate.
I breathed rhythmically.
Absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen myself.
Now, I had already touched the threshold of the Xuan Dan peak realm, and breaking through was no longer out of reach.
All I needed to do now was to keep striving forward, and when the time was right, I would definitely break through.
After more than an hour of meditation, the fatigue in my body and spirit had significantly reduced.
And I could feel that with continuous practice every day.
My blood qi also recovered very quickly.
Outside the house, Old Mo's chanting during his practice could still be heard from time to time.
I paid him no mind, lay down, and went to sleep. There would be more excitement to witness tomorrow...
The next day.
I woke up early.
Checking the time, it was only seven in the morning.
I meditated for another hour.
My body was full of energy, except for the lack of blood qi.
I felt my cultivation and strength had reached an unprecedented peak state.
Leaving my room, I found Master Uncle drinking tea in the courtyard.
Old Mo and Xiao Yao seemed to still be asleep.
I greeted Master Uncle:
"Good morning, Master Uncle!"
Master Uncle nodded:
"En, come and sit!"
Without hesitation, I walked over.
Master Uncle took out a tea bowl and poured me a small amount.
Then he said:
"Yesterday, I had the honor of being invited to several meetings of the Dao Alliance.
These involved the You Ming Cult, the Chang Sheng Society, the Hei Mo Cult, and the newly emerged Tian Zhao Alliance."
Hearing Master Uncle about to discuss important matters, I became serious but did not interrupt him.
Master Uncle took a sip of tea and continued:
"The current opinion of the Dao Alliance high command is somewhat vague.
During the meetings, I just listened to those idiots from a few sects bickering.
But one point, a consensus was reached.
They plan to deal with the weakest sect first, the Hei Mo Cult, which is entrenched in the Ba Chuan region.
The Hei Mo Cult is basically a lackey of the You Ming Cult and the easiest to deal with.
The You Ming Cult has a vast influence and, like the Chang Sheng Society, is very mysterious.
The Dao Alliance has very little information.
There are no specific targets.
However, the Black Demon Palace previously dealt a severe blow to the Hei Mo Cult.
And there is news that has basically confirmed the Hei Mo Cult's headquarters.
Their intention is for us to take the lead.
To gather the Ba Shan Fox Clan, the Wu Di Dong Hui family, and the Nine Sacred Princess.
After this alliance meeting is over, each sect will secretly dispatch some personnel.
They plan to uproot the Hei Mo Cult and completely annihilate them.
Then, they will find opportunities to deal with other evil cults."
Having said this, Master Uncle looked at me.
Because both Master Uncle and I knew.
On the surface, for the Black Demon Palace incident, it was Master Uncle who called upon the three major forces.
But in reality, these three forces were all giving me face.
Master Uncle asking me this was to gauge my attitude.
Whether I, the intermediary, was willing to do it.
Frowning slightly:
"Master Uncle, the reason why these three forces acted last time.
You should know very well.
The Fox Clan was invited by Xiao Mei.
The Old Mother of Wu Di acted because I helped her retrieve the Nine-Section Whip artifact.
As for Qing Dai, she is severely injured and has already entered seclusion.
If I were to ask, she would likely help.
As for the other two forces, it's hard to say."
Master Uncle sighed:
"Indeed!
So, I haven't given a direct reply to them.
But if we can eradicate the Hei Mo Cult, it would truly be a deed of immeasurable merit.
At the very least, many fewer people would die.
After the alliance meeting, go and contact them. If they are willing to help, then they help.
If not, we will contribute our own share."
I nodded with an "En", indicating my agreement.
We have offended all these forces.
The demonic woman of the Hei Mo Cult was also stomped to death by me.
A mortal enmity has definitely been forged.
Now, they have suffered heavy losses.
If we don't find a way to eliminate them.
Once they recover and come looking for us, we will be the ones who get killed...
