Chapter 298 Magical Weapon, Treasure Hunt!

Chapter 298 Magical Weapon, Treasure Hunt!

“The Demon-Subduing Vajra! That old bald donkey actually brought this thing out!”

Taoist Yangming was surprised to see what Xuanming had offered.

“Brother Yangming, is this Demon-Subduing Vajra very powerful?”

a young Taoist beside him asked.

“Of course it is! It’s a magical weapon. Rumor has it that it’s an ancient treasure passed down from a previous era. It’s so powerful that it’s on par with the Qingyang Temple’s Qinglei Peach Sword,”

Taoist Yangming exclaimed.

“Comparable to our Qingyang Temple’s Qinglei Peach Sword?” the young Taoist exclaimed. “Isn’t that the young man surnamed Lu in danger?”

The other Taoists were also shocked.

You know, the Qinglei Peach Sword is one of the top three magical weapons in their Qingyang Temple, and only the temple master is qualified to wield it.

This Demon-Subduing Vajra is actually a treasure of that level?

“That’s not necessarily true. Even if it’s a magical weapon, it depends on who wields it. If it were the abbot of Xuankong Mountain, or one of the Grand Elders, this young man would undoubtedly die.

But old bald monk Xuanming’s cultivation is only at the Great Stage of Qi Refining. He’s lucky to be able to unleash even one percent of the power of the Demon-Subduing Vajra Pestle.

As long as this young man retreats far enough, he still has a chance of survival.”

Taoist Yangming didn’t lower his voice when speaking to his fellow apprentices. Instead, he deliberately raised it slightly so that everyone around him could hear it clearly.

It was as if he was deliberately reminding Lu Qing.

However, Lu Qing’s expression remained calm, unfazed by Taoist Yangming’s words.

At this moment, a note about the Vajra Pestle had also appeared in his field of vision.

[Demon-Subduing Vajra Pestle: A low-grade magical weapon, a heirloom of Xuankong Mountain. It is powerful and has the power to subdue demons and monsters.]

[A magical weapon left behind when the true Xuankong Mountain broke through the boundary and left during the previous era of immortal cultivation.

This treasure can immobilize a person’s soul with its golden light, and its true form can shatter a person’s body. At the very least, a victim’s power will be shattered, their soul shattered, and they will become crippled; at the worst, their body and soul will be completely destroyed. A

magical weapon reaching the treasure level requires magical power to activate it in order to unleash its full power.

This magical weapon has been refined; anyone else can only unleash 70% of its power. …

“

Low-grade magical weapon? It seems the Four Secret Lands aren’t as profound as I imagined. No wonder they covet my soul talisman so much.”

Combined with Taoist Yangming’s words, Lu Qing suddenly had some idea of the Four Secret Lands’ depths.

Even a low-grade magical weapon could shock Taoist Yangming.

It seemed the Four Secret Lands possessed a limited number of magical weapons.

Lu Qing’s expression remained calm, but Monk Xuanming, who was activating the Demon-Subduing Vajra Pestle, darkened upon hearing Taoist Yangming’s words.

He harbored a deep hatred for Taoist Yangming.

This Ox-nosed cultivator’s revelation of the Demon-Subduing Vajra’s origins was clearly deliberate.

He wanted to lend Lu Qing a helping hand, to kill with a borrowed knife!

But even if he understood Taoist Yangming’s plan, Xuanming could only swallow his bitterness.

As Taoist Yangming had said, a magical weapon like the Demon-Subduing Vajra was of far too high a grade to be easily wielded by someone like him, a master of Qi

Refining. Furthermore, he wasn’t the true master of the artifact, making its activation even more challenging.

Even if he and his fellow disciples formed a formation, they would still need to build up momentum to unleash the Demon-Subduing Vajra’s true power.

If Lu Qing fled now, he would have no choice but to launch an attack in advance.

But even then, he couldn’t guarantee he could actually kill Lu Qing.

Fearing Lu Qing’s escape, Xuanming dared not delay and immediately shouted through telepathy, “Fellow disciples, immediately change the formation and encircle the evil demon!”

“Yes!”

After Xuanming and the others formed their formation, their minds connected.

At his command, the others’ minds suddenly shifted. The golden light of the formation, which had previously enveloped them, suddenly flipped, like a vast net, enveloping Lu Qing in the opposite direction, trapping him.

But with Lu Qing’s current level of cultivation, how could he be so easily trapped?

On the contrary, seeing Xuanming and the others abandon their defense and resort to attack, a smile suddenly crossed his face.

“Finally, you’re not playing coward?”

He immediately stopped gathering strength and launched a powerful kick. With a resounding boom, a human-shaped white mist was left in its place, enveloped by a golden curtain of light.

The next moment, his true form appeared before a large monk and slashed down with his blade.

However, just as the monk was about to fall under Lu Qing’s blade, the demon-subduing vajra, emanating a hazy golden glow and hovering before Xuanming, suddenly shone brightly.

The golden light surged with incredible speed, enveloping not only the entire group of monks in a split second,

but even Lu Qing was unable to dodge and was swept by the golden light.

Lu Qing’s body trembled as the golden light struck him, his entire body stiffening. The sword that had been slashing towards the monk instantly stopped.

His eyes flashed with horror, and he became like a puppet, unable to move.

“What a pity! This young man has been struck!”

Taoist Yangming sighed upon seeing this.

He was still young, after all. While powerful, he was inexperienced. A simple trick by the old bald monk Xuanming revealed his weakness, and his spirit was frozen.

However, he hadn’t expected the rumors to be true. The demon-subduing vajra of Xuankong Mountain could freeze a person’s spirit and soul, and strike a person’s body from below. Those struck by it would be annihilated, their body and soul destroyed, unable to resurrect.

He had initially thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seemed truly worthy of the name.

As Taoist Yangming sighed, the other spectators were equally astonished.

They hadn’t expected Lu Qing, who had just been so ferocious and had forced Xuankong Mountain and his men into a desperate situation, to be subdued so quickly.

As expected of Hanging Mountain, the four secret sites held immense depth. A single treasure could turn a desperate situation around.

“Oh no, Ah Qing!”

Everyone atop the tower was equally alarmed.

The old doctor, in particular, saw Lu Qing pinned to the ground by the golden light. He was terrified and on the verge of leaping from the tower.

However, just as he moved, Lu Qing’s voice echoed in his mind.

“Master, don’t worry, I’m fine.”

“Ah Qing, are you okay?”

The old doctor shuddered, then stopped, a look of surprise on his face.

“I’m fine, don’t worry, Master. I was just tricking them.”

Hearing that Lu Qing was faking it, the old doctor felt relieved.

But then his mind faltered again. “Ah Qing’s telepathic communication could reach so far?”

After all, since entering Zhongzhou, their telepathic abilities had been significantly suppressed.

Especially since entering the Holy City, their telepathic abilities had been reduced to a maximum of twenty or thirty meters.

And the tower was a full half a mile from the courtyard.

“It seems that Ah Qing’s strength has truly undergone a complete transformation after this tribulation.”

Thinking of this, the old doctor felt even more relaxed.

However, while the old doctor was relieved, the others were not so relieved.

People like Magu were watching with their eyes wide open, but unfortunately, they were in the tower and could not help Lu Qing at all, so they could only worry.

“Little beast, no matter how cunning you are, you are still vulnerable in front of the magic treasures of my Hanging Mountain!”

On the other side, Xuanming saw Lu Qing being fixed by the golden light, and his heart suddenly relaxed, revealing a sinister smile.

Lu Qing’s body was unable to move, but there was a look of fear in his eyes.

This made Xuanming feel very happy.

These days, they in Hanging Mountain have suffered a lot from Lu Qing.

Not only were some disciples killed, but he was also scolded by everyone, calling him an old bald donkey.

Don’t look at him in front of his disciples and fellow apprentices, he always looks calm and steady.

In reality, the rage within him was greater than anyone else’s.

It was merely his usual deep demeanor that forced him to suppress it.

“Elder, kill this little beast!”

“Cut him in two, let him taste our pain!”

“Torture him to death!”

The other monks were overjoyed upon seeing this.

Especially the young monks who had been beheaded by Lu Qing, they all shouted for Lu Qing’s immediate execution.

Even the elders of Xuankong Mountain turned their gazes to Xuanming.

However, seeing Lu Qing’s horrified expression, Xuanming suddenly had a different thought:

“Absolutely not! Although this demon’s sins are grave and his demonic roots are deeply rooted, even if we kill him, the demonic energy within him cannot be dispelled.

I think it’s best to take him back and use the Dharma to convert him and purify his demonic energy. This is the correct path.”

Upon hearing this, the other elders immediately understood.

Senior Brother Xuanming intended to convert Lu Qing and turn him into a puppet of Xuankong Mountain.

Thinking of Lu Qing’s displayed immense strength and preternatural talent, several elders were moved.

If they had a puppet with such extraordinary talent, their Xuankong Mountain would greatly enhance its resources.

They nodded approvingly, “This is a great act! Senior Brother Xuanming is truly compassionate.”

“Then please help me, fellow disciples, to completely immobilize this demon’s spirit and spirit, and then escort it back to Xuankong Mountain.”

“Yes.”

Several senior monks immediately activated the formation, connecting their aura with Xuanming’s to aid him in subduing the demon.

With the help of the disciples, the golden glow of Xuanming’s demon-subduing vajra grew even brighter.

It even slowly soared upwards, reaching above Lu Qing’s head. Accompanied by faint chanting, rays of golden light descended, completely sealing Lu Qing’s spirit acupoints.

Once these acupoints were sealed, Lu Qing’s spirit power would be completely unavailable.

At that point, not only would he become a living dead, at the mercy of others, but even the treasures and secrets he possessed would belong to Xuankong Mountain.

Monk Xuanming’s heart burned with excitement at the thought of Lu Qing’s treasures and the

secrets they might hold. It was impossible for Lu Qing to possess such terrifying strength at such a young age without secrets.

And they were likely extremely powerful secrets; otherwise, it was hard to imagine how he had cultivated to such prowess.

If he could extract the secrets of his cultivation, perhaps his own cultivation could reach even greater heights!

At this thought, even Monk Xuanming, known for his deep understanding, a hint of enthusiasm flickered in his eyes.

The surrounding warriors watched helplessly as Xuanming and his men attempted to completely subdue Lu Qing, but no one dared to speak.

Firstly, Xuankong Mountain couldn’t afford to offend him.

Secondly, the might emanating from the Demon-Subduing Vajra was truly terrifying.

No one present dared to withstand its power.

Even Taoist Yangming didn’t dare act rashly.

He secretly regretted not pleading with the abbot to bring the Qinglei Peach Sword with him when he left.

If he had the Qinglei Peach Sword, why would he fear these bald monks?

As the Demon-Subduing Vajra slowly descended, Lu Qing’s eyes gradually closed.

Xuanming and the other monks from Xuankong Mountain also smiled.

“It’s over,”

Taoist Yangming sighed.

Although he didn’t want Xuankong Mountain to gain more power, under the suppression of the Demon-Subduing Vajra, Lu Qing had no hope of escape.

Even he was powerless against such a magical weapon.

Just when everyone thought Lu Qing was completely suppressed, with no chance of recovery,

a hand suddenly appeared above Lu Qing’s head and gently grasped the Demon-Subduing Vajra.

And the one holding the Demon-Subduing Vajra was none other than Lu Qing.

Lu Qing’s eyes were now open, and he smiled a strange smile as he looked at Monk Xuanming.

“What!”

Xuanming was shocked. Without a second thought, his spiritual power surged, ready to activate his magic weapon and blast Lu Qing to death.

At this moment, he no longer cared about turning Lu Qing into a puppet.

He simply wanted to kill this strange and terrifying young man immediately.

However, just as Xuanming was about to activate the Demon-Subduing Vajra, something even more unbelievable happened.

The Demon-Subduing Vajra, held in Lu Qing’s hand, suddenly vanished.

“Puff!”

As the Demon-Subduing Vajra vanished, Xuanming spat out a mouthful of blood.

A look of disbelief and horror crossed his face.

He felt the Demon-Subduing Vajra completely vanish.

Not only was it unseen with the n*ked eye, but even his spiritual power could not detect its location.

The spiritual power he had previously entwined with the Demon-Subduing Vajra was severed by some unknown force,

causing his mind to suffer severe damage.

“What happened?”

“Why did the magic weapon from Xuankong Mountain disappear?”

“This young man was not suppressed!”

“He was just pretending!”

…

Seeing that Lu Qing, who was supposed to be suppressed, suddenly woke up.

This sudden change caught everyone by surprise.

The powerful onlookers cried out in surprise.

Even Taoist Yangming’s eyes widened. They

couldn’t understand how Lu Qing had managed to withstand the golden suppression of the Demon-Subduing Vajra.

As for the monks of Xuankong Mountain, they were even more shocked and almost jumped up.

Xuanming, in particular, was so shocked that he shouted angrily: “Little beast, what have you done?!”

“Nothing, just accepted a piece of garbage.

Old man, you are really slow. It takes so long to accompany you to put on a show.”

Lu Qing stretched his body, his eyes clear, without any sign of being suppressed or controlled.

“Hand over the Demon-Subduing Vajra immediately, it is not something you can touch!”

Xuanming shouted sternly, his face no longer showing any of his previous calmness.

“Old bald donkey, are you not in your right mind? Is now the time to ask me for something?”

After stretching his body, Lu Qing reached out and picked up the sword.

A cold smile appeared on his face: “You should think about how to survive from my sword!”

After that, his figure disappeared, and he came in front of Xuanming and chopped him down with a sword!
