C2695 Just Treat It as If Nothing Had Happened
He didn't dare to be careless, and immediately circulated his spiritual energy. Using the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Technique, he shouted, "I am Zhuge Cang of the Nine Empyreans Sect, a member of the Zhuge Clan of the Southern Tomb. Why don't you show yourself? Hiding your head and showing your tail is not the style of an expert."
He announced his double identity. One was a powerful expert from the Nine Empyreans Sect, and the other was from the Zhuge Clan.
Under normal circumstances, any one of these two identities could make countless thieves be cautious.
In the previous conversation, he already knew that the other party was the Great Elder of the Qingcheng Sect, Tian Qingzi. If Tian Qingzi had some brains, he should have known the consequences of becoming the enemy of the Nine Empyreans Sect or Zhuge Clan, and he would have left obediently.
However, his actions had exposed a fact.
That was, he wasn't confident enough.
Originally, with his formidable strength as a Free Immortal, he shouldn't need to use his name to intimidate others. When he encountered someone he didn't want to deal with, he would just teach them a lesson.
But now, he was using the method of announcing his own family to scare away his enemies. It could be seen that he was worried that his enemies were stronger than him, and he wasn't confident that he could defeat them.
"So it's the current generation of Martial Marquis of Zhuge Clan? No wonder he has the confidence to stay in White Cloud Peak."
A cold and bone-piercing sneer, like the howl of a malicious ghost, made people feel a chill down their spine when they heard it. When everyone fixed their eyes on it, a figure appeared out of thin air in the middle of the square.
Tian Qingzi.
His appearance gave Ye Zhengxiong an indescribable pressure.
At this moment, Tian Qingzi had changed into a different set of clothes from a few days ago. He was wearing a white robe and looked like a transcendent being. Of course, this could be seen from his back.
When he turned to the front, his face was skinny and full of wrinkles. Compared to a few days ago, his appearance was even older, and there were black lines on both sides of his forehead. They looked like tiny blood vessels, and his eyes were pitch-black. His pupils were even stranger. The whites of his eyes were filled with red streaks of blood, making them look extremely piercing. As for his pupils, they were emitting a ghostly green color.
Such a strange appearance caused the six of them to suck in a cold breath of air.
"This fellow..." Ye Ziyun's expression was very ugly. She hurriedly looked at Ye Zhengxiong. "When you met him a few days ago, he was also like this?"
"No!"
Ye Zhengxiong quickly shook his head. "A few days ago, he did not look so scary. He did not look so old either. In terms of difference, he looked a little scarier than a normal person a few days ago. His eyes were red. But now, it's terrifying. "
"From the looks of it, he seems to have cultivated the evil path." Elder Zhou's expression was solemn, and he felt uneasy in his heart.
Ye Tiannan was surprised and bewildered, "What a powerful evil path. It seems like that mysterious man has given them an evil technique."
"To be precise, he has already become a devil with his current appearance!" Lee Wenyan had hit the nail on the head to find out Tian Qingzi's current condition.
That was right. The current Tian Qingzi could no longer be considered a normal martial artist. He could not even be called an Evil Cultivator.
Although the Evil Cultivator also had a kind of existence that was neither human nor ghost, their appearances were often relatively easy to distinguish. Moreover, it was not like Tian Qingzi, who was emitting the aura of an evil demon.
"Demon?"
Everyone's eyes were filled with horror. The word 'demon' wasn't unfamiliar to any martial artist. Although the orthodox path of cultivation had always been the mainstream since ancient times, there had never been a lack of people who liked to walk the crooked path of evil.
In those crooked paths of demons, Evil Cultivator and demonic cultivation were very common.
However, the demonic path had always been rejected by the orthodox path. Every time one appeared, everyone had the right to punish them. Therefore, most people who cultivated the demonic path could only live a dark and sunless life.
"This old fellow has actually cultivated into a devil!" Ye Ziyun's expression was solemn.
Ye Tiannan frowned, "The devil path is different from the orthodox Martial Tao. Most of their strength comes from the wrong path. Usually, they don't rely on themselves to cultivate, so their cultivation speed is extremely fast. However, the side effects are also very big, and most of them die from backlash. "
"That's right!"
Elder Zhou nodded his head and suddenly understood something. "I understand now. This old fellow's power comes from the Devil Spirit!"
"What?"
Everyone was shocked at first, but then they lost their voices.
"Elder Zhou, you mean... they rely on the Devil Spirit to obtain power?!" Ye Tiannan felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"I can't be completely sure, but they can control the Devil Spirit. This was a very strange thing to begin with, and there was only one explanation. That is, they have become creatures similar to the Devil Spirit, but they still retain their rationality. It can be seen that it was most likely because of the Devil Arts that they cultivated." Elder Zhou speculated.
Hearing this explanation, everyone felt a chill run down their spine, but they felt that it was very reasonable.
Because this could explain why the Qingcheng Sect, which had joined the enemy, could control the Devil Spirit Army. One should know that the Devil Spirit had no intelligence. It would kill anyone it saw, regardless of friend or foe.
"In the end, it's a force from the Immortal World. How could it use such a method to cultivate?" Lee Wenyan believed Elder Zhou's speculation. After all, he was the only one who knew Yu Lingloong's background like the back of his hand.
"I heard that the division of power between the Devil Dao and the Righteous Dao is different. The Righteous Dao is more complicated. The Devil Dao is much simpler. Only the abyssals, demons, Demon Kings, and Demon Emperors are categorized in history. The realm of devils was roughly comparable to Soul Master's realm, and according to the devil king, it was said that he was even stronger than Free Immortal. The Devil Kings are comparable to Mahayana Stage." Elder Zhou's facial expression changed after he finished speaking.
Everyone on the scene revealed a solemn expression. Although there were only four levels of devils, the gap between each level was huge, and the Devil King realm was even stronger than a Free Immortal Stage.
Tian Qingzi was originally Free Immortal, but now that he had become a devil, he must have become a Devil King. His strength could probably be compared to a True Immortal expert.
Zhuge Cang listened to the discussions of the people behind him and felt that something was wrong. He didn't know much about devils, but he knew the strength of a devil king. This was because the Zhuge Clan had once killed a devil king. That generation's Wu Hou had killed a devil king. However, he had to risk his life in order to do it. As for the Wu Hou of that generation, his strength had reached the True Immortal Realm!
In his panic, Zhuge Cang began to shrink back in his heart. But with so many people present, and with his pride, if he were to escape at this time, he would probably be ridiculed by others.
Immediately, he braced himself and said, "Qingcheng Sect is a famous big sect in World of Martial Dao. Becoming the Nine Empyreans Sect's enemy isn't a wise decision. Can we just leave today and pretend nothing happened?"
Tian Qingzi darted him a cold glance with a disdainful expression, "Although you are a disciple of the Nine Empyreans Sect, in the eyes of the Qingcheng Sect, you are still a disciple of the Nine Empyreans Sect. The Nine Empyreans Sect is nothing more than this. However, you are still a member of the Zhuge Clan. The Arts of Eight Diagrams of the Zhuge Clan is really hard to deal with. I'm too lazy to fight you. Get lost now! "
