"You and I have a master-disciple relationship, so there's no need to be so polite. Just call me Zhao Xing."
Zhao Xuanqi also looked at Qiu Qing.
In fact, although he became a disciple of Qiu Qing, he did not get along much with his cheap master. Because the evil priest incident broke out, Qiu Qing was busy with daily affairs, and rarely taught him practice in person. He Xijun mostly taught him on his behalf. Teachers teach, Qiu Qing only appears when taking exams for school practice.
However, although the two of them are not familiar with each other, Qiu Qing is indeed very kind to Zhao Xuanqi. He is not stingy with all kinds of resources and will allocate them to Zhao Xuanqi as soon as possible. With this kind of affection, Zhao Xuanqi admits that he is his master. .
"This is not the place to talk. Please come inside."
Qiu Qing nodded, made an invitation gesture, and then led Zhao Xuanqi toward the underground palace hall. All the disciples who passed by stopped and watched. Among these people, Zhao Xuanqi also saw some familiar figures.
Peng Lin, Shen Hong.
Two young men, wearing plain robes of the Red Heart Sect, stood in the distance and cast complex glances at him.
These two people were the best among the new disciples who entered the Scarlet Heart Sect in the same period as Zhao Xuanqi. The three of them once formed a team to carry out the task of exterminating demons. Now, in just over a year, they have become the same person. No.
Zhao Xuanqi nodded slightly to the two of them. They just met by chance and did not have a deep friendship.
Following Qiu Qing to the main hall, Qiu Qing motioned to everyone not to follow, and entered the main hall alone with Zhao Xuanqi, and closed the door.
"Is there any news about the head brother?"
Qiu Qing asked in a deep voice.
Compared with the outcome of the battle between Zhao Xuanqi and Hong Xingxian, Zhu Hong was just a small figure. No one cared about his life and death, and the news did not spread quickly to this underground palace.
"Hong Xingxian personally admitted that the leader has been killed by him. This news should be conclusive. As for why the destiny card was not extinguished, it may be the method of the imperial court. It should have wanted to use the leader as a bargaining chip to blackmail us. Now. , I have also killed Hong Xingxian into dregs and ground him into powder, which can be regarded as avenging the master's great revenge."
Zhao Xuanqi did not hide anything and told the truth.
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing that Zhu Hong was dead, Qiu Qing's eyes instantly turned red, his voice was choked, and he seemed to be very sad.
However, he quickly suppressed his emotions, took a deep breath, bowed slightly to Zhao Xuanqi and said, "Thank you for taking action."
If Zhao Xuanqi had not taken action to kill Hong Xingxian, he would not have been able to avenge Zhu Hong in his lifetime.
"This matter started because of me. I owe it to the Red Heart Sect. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in this situation now, so there is no need to thank you."
Zhao Xuanqi shook his head and sighed.
"That's wrong. The head brother has told me everything. You and I are mutually beneficial. If it weren't for you, there would be no possibility of repairing the Thunder Fire Golden Armor in my sect. Having benefited from this, how could we not Take risks?”
Qiu Qing waved his hand, but he could see it clearly.
Although the Red Heart Sect's destruction of Zhao Xuanqi was the trigger, the two parties were originally in a cooperative relationship. The stronger Zhao Xuanqi was, the faster the Thunder Fire Golden Armor was repaired. Both parties benefited from each other. Since they benefited, the corresponding consequences would naturally have to be borne by the Red Heart Sect. No wonder.
on others.
"Has the Thunder Fire Golden Armor been completely repaired now?"
Zhao Xuanqi asked.
According to what Zhu Hong said, as he becomes stronger and involves the mysterious fate of the Red Heart Sect, he can make the Thunder Fire Golden Armor repair itself.
So now his strength is dozens of times stronger than when he left Heqingdao, and the repair progress of the Thunder Fire Golden Armor should also be greatly improved.
"The Thunder Fire Golden Armor has indeed been greatly repaired during this period. Otherwise, we would not be able to use the golden armor to protect us and stay safe in this underground palace without being discovered by the court. However, this repair seems to have encountered some kind of bottleneck. In the end,
The most critical step has been delayed in being completed.”
"If the golden armor is lacking, its power will not be the same as when it was in its full glory."
Qiu Qing shook his head and said.
"Is the last step missing? To tell you the truth, I came here to see the current situation of the faction. The other purpose is to try to completely repair the Thunder Fire Golden Armor."
Zhao Xuanqi said.
"Of course this is a good thing, but now the mountains on the ground are full of imperial spies. The various magic formations in the underground palace completely rely on the thunder and fire golden armor to operate, covering up the breath and concealing the secrets of the heaven. If the thunder and fire golden armor makes any changes, I am afraid that the underground palace will not be able to exist.
Hiding it will be very troublesome."
Qiu Qing said in a deep voice.
"This is indeed a problem, but I should be able to solve it."
Zhao Xuanqi said.
"Okay then, how do you need us to cooperate with you?"
Qiu Qing thought for a while and finally decided to trust Zhao Xuanqi. After all, the other party's realm and methods were beyond his ability to guess.
If Thunder Fire Golden Armor wants to be finally repaired, it must rely on the other party.
"Gather all the disciples and leave the square where the Thunder Fire Golden Armor is. Leave the rest to me."
Zhao Xuanqi said.
Qiu Qing nodded, immediately took action, summoned a group of disciples and elders, quickly left the underground palace, and came to the mountain wall on one side of the cave to watch from a distance.
Zhao Xuanqi came to the square and stood under the statue of Lingguan, looking up.
"Elder Qiu, is this really possible?"
Everyone looked towards the center of the square, and a deacon couldn't help but ask questions.
Although Zhao Xuanqi's strength in killing Hong Xingxian is unfathomable, the Thunder Fire Golden Armor is related to the source of the Tao after all, so it is different. Unless the wielder of the Divine Martial Seal is still alive, who can say that the Thunder Fire Golden Armor can be completely repaired?
"The situation is complicated now. We rely on the protection of the Thunder Fire Golden Armor. If something goes wrong, won't our Red Heart Sect suffer another disaster? The previous destruction of the mountain gate was caused by this person."
An elder spoke up and said.
Not everyone is as understanding as Qiu Qing and knows the details of what happened. There are still many people in the Scarlet Heart Sect who believe that it was Zhao Xuanqi who brought disaster to the sect. If he had not acted so recklessly, everyone would not have fallen into this trap.
Until now.
If Qiu Qing hadn't been in charge of Jinjia now and suppressed different opinions as acting head, many people might not have agreed to Zhao Xuanqi's entry into the underground palace.
"Okay, no need to say more. This is my decision. If something goes wrong, I will bear the brunt of it. I will follow the lead of my senior brother and open up a way out for you."
Qiu Qing shouted in a low voice.
He spoke so much that the other elders and deacons did not dare to say anything more, but frowned slightly.
On the other side, although Zhao Xuanqi was in the middle of the square, with his spiritual sense, the disturbances in the entire cave could not be hidden from his ears, and the private discussions among the people were naturally heard by him.
But he doesn't care very much, because there is indeed his fault in it. The most important thing is that he doesn't care about other people's opinions and will only do what he thinks is right.
Looking up at the Thunder Fire Golden Armor on the statue, its shape is basically complete, but there are still spiderweb-like cracks spreading in the center of the breastplate, revealing a strange charm that cannot be completely repaired.
"Then, let's cover up the existence of the entire underground palace first to prevent the next movement from being noticed by the outside world."
Zhao Xuanqi took a deep breath. The entire underground palace cave was quite large, and even he was facing a lot of pressure.
next moment.
Buzz!!
The internal organs in his body were rotating, and the power of returning to the void was continuously born. Hazy gray mist emerged from everywhere in his body and floated to all parts of the cave. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the gray mist filled the entire underground palace.
"This is?!"
The people watching from a distance looked a little horrified. In the gray fog, they felt that their five senses were blinded, and the power in their bodies was completely unable to penetrate their bodies. The connection with the world was cut off.
Even the innate-level elder masters feel that their strength has been weakened by at least 50%, and they even have a strange feeling. If that person does not control this gray mist, I am afraid that the gray mist will directly invade them.
It caused unimaginable damage to his body.
I'm afraid that just by relying on this gray mist, the other party can kill most of them.
And with this method, the other party can fill an entire cave!
Being famous is not as good as meeting.
Zhao Xuanqi became famous all over the world after he killed Hong Xingxian, but only by experiencing it personally can one truly realize its power.
The elders and deacons who originally had some opinions all shut up at this time. Only now did they fully realize that Zhao Xuanqi's own strength was superior to that of the entire Red Heart Sect.
After doing all this, Zhao Xuanqi raised his hand towards the Thunder Fire Golden Armor, and the power of mixed light bloomed, instantly sinking into the Thunder Fire Golden Armor.
His consciousness and perception also entered the crack on the Thunder Fire Golden Armor Breast Mirror.
Buzz!!
As his perception changed, Zhao Xuanqi's consciousness was quickly pulled by some kind of force. In the blink of an eye, his perception appeared in another space.
In the dim environment, the sky was cracked and covered with red light as if it was the end of the world. Inexplicable roars were heard from all around, and strange figures were shaking around him. Terrifying malice rushed towards him, as if it could arouse the fear and awe deep in people's hearts.
.
More importantly, at this moment, Zhao Xuanqi felt as if he had become an ordinary person and could not sense any fluctuations in Yuan Qi.
Roar!!
The next moment, the surrounding demons and monsters rushed towards him, as if they wanted to completely submerge him.
"Pretend to be a ghost."
Zhao Xuanqi looked calm, but suddenly gray mist burst out from his body.
This weird magical method can isolate the world, create illusions, and affect people's hearts, but it cannot change the power of mixed light, because this power is not within the rules.
Wanting to deal with Zhao Xuanqi in this way is simply wishful thinking.
boom!!
The gray mist condensed like a winch, spinning suddenly around Zhao Xuanqi. All demons and ghosts were crushed by the gray mist, making it impossible to get close to him.
He stepped forward and walked in purgatory, feeling the strange feeling of power around him, and felt a sense of familiarity.
"Is it a foreign source? It seems that the Shenwu Seal itself has been eroded by a foreign source to a certain extent, and its power has affected the Taoyuan Qibao involved with it."
Zhao Xuanqi advanced a certain distance and saw a nine-story tower with a simple shape. On the top of the tower, a strange statue stood.
The image of an old Taoist mother had a strange smile on her face, and a scarlet vertical eye between her eyebrows stared in the direction of Zhao Xuanqi.
"Is it you again?"
Zhao Xuanqi's eyes were calm as he looked at the statue. This was not the first time he had seen the Yin Mother statue. The last time he faced off against the statue in the ghost town, he risked his life and unleashed all his strength before destroying the opponent. It was full of dangers.
.
But everything is different now.
This is just a trace of residual thoughts communicated through Daoyuan Qibao, and Zhao Xuanqi's strength now is also different from before.
"Sooner or later I will take care of your body. Now, disappear from me."
Zhao Xuanqi's voice was cold and he raised his hand towards the statue.
Phew!!
A terrifying scream came from the body of the statue, and the vertical eyes between its brows glowed red, dyeing the whole world red. The whole world was collapsing. The other party seemed to realize that a ray of residual thoughts could not compete with Zhao Xuanqi, and wanted to pull him away.
Their consciousness fell into destruction together.
open up!!
The next moment, chaos and mist spread across the sky, supporting the entire collapsed world. Zhao Xuanqi stepped forward and waved his fists towards the Yin Tower.
boom!!
After killing Hong Xingxian, his strength increased again. If he were to face the Hengyang Emperor's phantom transmission again, he would be able to crush him in his normal form without entering the limit state, not to mention this one that manifests itself through the power of the Taoist source.
The will to change.
In an instant, the world was spinning, and the terrifying world suddenly shattered. Zhao Xuanqi's consciousness returned to his body, and then he saw that the spiderweb-like cracks on the Thunder Fire Golden Armor Breast Guard were shrinking and repairing.
However, after the influence of the Yin Mother's residual thoughts was eliminated, the cracks still did not completely disappear, but there were still final residues.
"So it turns out that it's not just the Yin Mother's remnants that are affecting the golden armor through the Divine Martial Seal, but also because the power that makes up the golden armor itself has flaws. Non-Yuanqi luck can repair it, so there must be corresponding materials to fill the gaps."
Zhao Xuanqi noticed the reason.
The nature of Daoyuan Qibao is extremely special, and the materials are extremely difficult to find.
"Since there is a lack of materials, we will use materials from other Daoyuan Qibao to make up for it."
Zhao Xuanqi flipped his palm, and an extremely damaged azure crown appeared in his hand. It was the crown of the Taoyuan Qibaotian of the Yuling Path.
The two do not belong to the same source, but the essential materials are related to this side of Heavenly Dao. Zhao Xuanqi cannot create something out of nothing, but he can use the power of mixed light to forcibly destroy its characteristics and return to the origin of Heavenly Dao to repair the Thunder Fire Golden Armor.
Originally, he was unable to do this, but now after killing Hong Xingxian, the two powers in his body have merged, and everything has become different.
Even though it is just a trace, the essence of the power is completely different, just like lightning striking the water flow, and life is born by chance at a certain moment. Although it is only a tiny life unit, it has earth-shaking significance for the world.
Now Zhao Xuanqi's power of mixed light has been able to affect the source of truth to a certain extent!
Return to Chaos!!
The power of mixed light shrouded the crown of heaven in his hand. The originally broken crown was constantly shaken off by dust-like fragments. Traces of colorless mysterious power were peeled off by Zhao Xuanqi like silk from a cocoon and injected into the Thunder Fire Golden Armor.
The last cracks were being repaired and soon disappeared completely.
Buzz!!
A dazzling light burst out from the thunder-fire gold armor, revealing the majesty of a god.
At this moment, Zhao Xuanqi clearly felt that some of the weight in his soul had lightened, and he felt a sense of freedom and ease.
