Dazhu Peak, back mountain.

In the dense bamboo forest, a faint shadow of blood was quietly passing through.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to visit Dazhu Peak to enjoy the scenery, Chi Yao released a blood droplet and began to search for the whereabouts of the soul-destroying rod.

Xue Dizi walked through the black knotted bamboos and found a group of monkeys hanging upside down on the bamboo branches, chirping non-stop.

Whoosh!

It suddenly shot up and disappeared into the eyebrows of one of the monkeys. After a while, the monkey's eyes became more colorful, a little more agile and intelligent, and then turned around and jumped deeper into the bamboo forest.

Chi! Chi!

This sudden move also disturbed other monkeys, and for a while the bamboo forest was full of monkeys' "squeaking" sounds.

The blood-eyed monkey jumped very fast, and soon passed through the bamboo forest where the monkeys had been living, and stopped at the edge of a cliff.

Looking up, there is a deep valley below the cliff. The valley is filled with thick fog and cannot be seen clearly. What grows on the nearby valley wall is no longer black bamboo but various miscellaneous wild trees, mostly pines and cypresses.

The blood-eyed monkey was delighted when he saw this. He grabbed the branch and swung his body, then lost the force of his fall and continued downward.

Amidst the whistling wind, the blood-eyed monkey successfully fell into the valley and continued to jump deeper.

Following the subtle sound of water, it ran to an open area with sparse trees. The ground was covered with gravel, and there was a small pool in the middle. The water was rippling and flowing to the west.

As soon as he stepped onto the edge of the pool, the monkey was suddenly shocked. A nauseating feeling arose from his internal organs and went straight to his forehead. In an instant, his whole body started shaking and he fell to the ground.

But such a reaction made Chi Yao, who controlled the blood-eyed monkey, neither surprised nor pleased.

Because this feeling is a manifestation of the impact on the soul, which means that the soul-destroying rod is nearby!

If you look closely, you will see that within three feet of the clear water as the center, there is no grass growing, but three feet away, there are lush trees.

"The soul-destroying rod is in the pool!"

He controlled the monkey to continue moving forward. Due to the influence of the soul-destroying rod, the monkey's movements became slower and slower. But because of the support of the blood drop, it could barely hold on.

The blood-eyed monkey came to the center of the pool, where there was a pile of rocks of different sizes and shapes. Among the rocks, there was a short black stick stuck diagonally, only a foot above the water, and the rest was immersed in the water.

It's jet black and you can't tell what material it is made of.

Reach out and hold it.

The evil spirit rushed towards my face.

Wisps of black energy gush out from the short stick and wrap around the blood-eyed monkey, seemingly trying to pull its soul out of its body.

Although it has been strengthened by the Blood Drop, a monkey is a monkey and it is difficult to resist the power of the soul-destroying rod.

Chi Yao did not choose to force it, because with the aggressiveness displayed by the soul-destroying rod at this moment, it was impossible for a monkey to deliver it to him quietly and without anyone noticing.

Fortunately, the location has been found, so I will note it down for now, waiting for him to pick it up in person in the future.

The blood-eyed monkey did not struggle, and the faint blood shadow quickly pulled away, bringing the information back to the main body.

…

…

After watching the scenery of [Bamboo Waves], Chi Yao continued to live a leisurely life in Qingyun Gate as if nothing had happened.

One month later, the time for the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition arrived.

At the invitation of Master Daoxuan, he also served as a guest at the ceremony and witnessed the contest between the thirty-two disciples of Qingyun Seven Peaks.

Although to him, these disciples who are generally in the Yuqing realm are just novices, but it is quite interesting to watch several peak masters quarreling over the performance of their disciples.

Especially Master Shuiyue of Xiaozhu Peak, who always criticized Tian Buyi, the first of Dazhu Peak.

Tian Buyi was constantly irritated by her, but he, who was not good at speaking, was even more clumsy in his eloquence when facing Suru's senior sister. In the end, he could only let Suru come out to smooth things over.

At the top of the other peaks, apart from Cangsong Taoist from Longshou Peak who also made sarcastic remarks from time to time, Luoxia Peak, Chaoyang Peak and others were much more normal and did not have a strong sense of presence.

This time the Seven Meridians Competition ended with Xiao Yicai, a disciple of Tongtian Peak, winning the championship.

The disciples of Dazhu Peak ranked last, not even entering the top eight, which made Tian Buyi look extremely ugly.

However, this incident did not affect him for long, because Tian Buyi and Suru's wedding was coming soon.

Although Shuiyue, as a senior sister, does not agree with her junior sister's marriage, she is only a senior sister after all, not a master, and has no qualifications to forcefully order Suru.

Except for Xiaozhu Peak, the other peak masters all sent congratulatory gifts to Dazhu Peak.

Even Fenxiang Valley and Tianyin Temple sent disciples to come here to express their congratulations.

It was also on this night that Chi Yao went straight to the valley after having a banquet at Dazhu Peak.

…

…

Following his memory, he quickly passed through the bamboo forest, went deep into the deep valley, and came to the center of the blue water pool.

ever!

Holding one end and pulling it out, the soul-destroying rod finally revealed its true appearance.

It was a short black stick about two feet long. It was neither gold nor iron. It felt cool in the hand.

Wisps of black energy climbed up towards Chi Yao's arm, as if they were trying to pull Chi Yao's soul back to the same trick.

But the strength of his soul is not comparable to that of the previous monkeys. No matter how the soul-destroying rod pulls, it is still as stable as a rock and does not move.

On the contrary, he quickly refined the black rod using the blood refining method, and then felt the huge soul power accumulated in it.

It is said that the soul-catching rod is a strange object descended from heaven and fell into the Nine Netherworld. The ghost fire burns the spirit of the Yin spirit to refine it. It will become red after a thousand years, and it will take shape after a thousand years. It will gather the spirit of ghosts and spirits in a thousand years, and it will be able to absorb souls after a thousand years.

Until now, after countless thousands of years, although the accumulated soul power is very mixed, the total amount has reached an appalling level.

It is the perfect qualification for practicing the ghost soul refining method!

With this item in hand, Chi Yao's biggest goal in coming to Qingyun has been achieved.

Although it is a pity that the three-eyed monkey was not found, we have been delayed in Qingyun for long enough.

Shortly after the wedding banquet at Dazhu Peak, he bid farewell to Master Daoxuan.

…

Return to Shiwandashan again.

The construction of the Demon Cult Headquarters was successfully completed by Qinglong and others. Chi Yao did not choose to intervene, but planned to try out the effects of the soul-destroying rod and the soul-purifying bell first.

"Unfortunately, Ghost Road's soul-strengthening technique can only absorb pure soul power, but cannot simultaneously absorb the experience and knowledge in these souls."

Wisps of black air floated out from the soul-destroying rod and were inhaled by Chi Yao.

At the same time, a golden bell hung above his head, shaking gently.

The "ding-dong-dang-dang" sound was clear and sweet, and circles of ripples fell, completely covering Chi Yao, and impurities as fine as dust were constantly being shaken out of the body.

This is the most perfect method of soul cultivation recorded in the blood jade bone tablets.

Chi Yao, who was in it, felt that his soul was changing back and forth as it continued to grow and refine, becoming more and more solid and solid, and his feeling of fatigue increased with time.

Not long after, he stopped practicing.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but it does seem that I have become a little bit smarter and my eyesight has become a little bit brighter, and it has become smoother and easier to activate the Gu.

…

…

One year later.

Outside the Incense Valley.

Chi Yao, Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu, and the six-tailed demon fox, a total of six people, stood on the top of the mountain surrounding Fenxiang Valley, overlooking this righteous sect's headquarters that has been famous for thousands of years.

It was midnight, and the moon and stars were scarce.

Except for a few fire altars in the Incense Valley, most of the places were shrouded in the quiet and dark night, looking like a prostrate and sleeping giant beast.

The body of the six-tailed demon fox trembled slightly, not because of fear, but because of excitement, hatred and hope mixed with each other.

More than two hundred years ago!

Back then, the fox demon clan invaded Fenxiang Valley in a large scale. Although they successfully stole the Xuanhuojian, not only the clan members suffered heavy casualties, but also the nine-tailed celestial fox, the clan leader, lost contact.

If Chi Yao hadn't sent someone to contact her, he wouldn't have known that his mother had been imprisoned in Fenxiang Valley, and he wouldn't have had the chance to come to the rescue and take revenge.

"Are you ready for a scene?"

Chi Yao put a hand on his shoulder and said in a deep voice.

After the cold poison was completely removed from the body of the six-tailed demon fox, its strength returned to a level approximately equal to that of the Earth Demon Realm. It would not be a big problem to at least deal with one or two elders of Fenxiang Valley.

"Um!"

"Then let's get started!"

The six people took advantage of the darkness and quietly sneaked into the valley.
