In the residence, Qi Yi was somewhat surprised upon hearing.
Zhang Jian’s figure disappeared in an instant.
Zhao Cheng at this time leapt over the white wall from the side, having only used part of his martial dao techniques without deploying magic, believing that possessing Vast Righteous Qi, as long as he didn’t use any magic or magical power, he would not easily be perceived.
Throughout history, some Great Scholars, although possessing Vast Righteous Qi, generally have weak flesh bodies.
Just as he jumped down, he looked around the surrounding continuous houses.
There were too many of these residences, and without using Yin God Divine Sense, it would be hard to perceive where the beauty was.
"What are you looking for? Looking for me?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out behind him, instantly changing his expression.
Uncertain when it happened, underneath the pavilion to his left stood a figure with hands behind his back. He was wearing scarlet casual clothing, his hair held with a jade crown, his demeanor filled with authority like that of a worldly young official.
Yet, his eyes held an air of transcendence.
"Scholar Zhang?"
In Zhao Cheng’s heart, there was a thump, as this figure was naturally unfamiliar to him.
It was the object of his apprehension.
Instinctively, he glanced around, but his heart skipped a beat as he saw the figure appearing a few steps closer.
"Are you going to answer or not?!"
Zhao Cheng’s face was extremely unpleasant at this moment, unable to help but speak.
"Scholar Zhang, if I said I came to the wrong place, would you believe me?"
Upon hearing, Zhang Jian chuckled, looking Zhao Cheng up and down, a cold smile lingering at the corner of his eyes.
"I do not believe it!"
At this moment, Zhao Cheng’s expression subtly changed, muttering under his breath, "Damn it, believe it or not!"
His form twisted, producing seals with magical power in his hands as his shape metamorphosed into a streak of light merging with the shadows on the ground, attempting to escape.
"Celestial Ghosts’ Skill, Void Escape!"
A layer of profound yin magical energy covered his body, but instantly a palm came across the void, seemingly tearing a layer of the Void Dharma Realm in the dark side.
In the Void Dharma Realm, a figure circulated with the aura of the Xuan Yin Celestial Ghost.
The brilliance of Yin Spirit emerged, with another Yin Spirit Technique’s light and shadow was about to appear!
Yet, at this moment, the void heated up abruptly, as a palm broke through, as if the Void Dharma Realm was bathed in fierce solar golden light, a concentrated red glow swept across; Zhao Cheng raised his head to gaze at this searing sun, and with just one glance, it was as if the searing sun imprinted in his heart, causing the Yin Spirit to convulse violently, unable to restrain a scream.
In the lamentations, countless red lights erupted from his Yin Spirit, tearing it apart, as a palm effortlessly plucked him from the Void Dharma Realm.
The Starlight Soul Binding Seal in Zhang Jian’s palm turned into a starlight which fused into Zhao Cheng’s brow.
His eyes sparkled with intrigue; it was the first time he encountered such a unique Yin Spirit Dharma Aspect capable of tearing the void.
If repaired to great success... it might still fail to evade the blockade of his vast Yin God Divine Sense.
Zhao Cheng was already numb.
He stared at Zhang Jian in horror.
The terrifying methods deployed by Zhang Jian were completely beyond his imagination.
He hadn’t been a Yin Spirit Venerable for a short time.
The Celestial Ghost Dharma Aspect was deeply mysterious, especially the unparalleled escape; he thought even the Fourth or Fifth Tribulation of the Yin Spirit Venerables couldn’t block the innate ability of his Celestial Ghost Dharma Aspect tearing through the void.
With this reliance, he had disregarded the patrols of various deities in Haojing City.
But today, Zhang Jian captured him easily.
He was just a worldly official!
Zhang Jian’s curious gaze was fleeting; with a glance, he calmly spoke.
"Are you going to talk, or should I use my methods to interrogate you?"
Zhao Cheng spoke readily, hurriedly saying.
"I’ll talk, I’ll say everything!"
Under those wise yet authoritative eyes, he felt as if being watched by a beast!
Quickly he reported his background:
"Let Scholar Zhang know, I am Zhao Cheng, the Guardian Elder of the Golden Maiden Sect. I joined the sect at the end of the Chen Jin Dynasty a thousand years ago, achieved the Yin Divine Venerable Realm when Daqian was founded. This time, under the command of Golden Maiden Sect Saintess Liu Rui, placed two seeds of sin into the bodies of two beauties!"
"One of the targets on this mission is Scholar Zhang’s wife’s sister, Qi Yuzhu!"
He spilled his origins and goals like beans, speaking rapidly without reservation.
Under that cold gaze, he felt sweat pouring out, many thoughts in his Yin Spirit’s heart seemed unable to escape the penetrating look.
Zhang Jian’s expression remained indifferent, only calmly looking at the self-proclaimed Golden Maiden Sect Guardian Elder before him.
This wasn’t the first time he had dealt with Daoists from the Golden Maiden Sect.
If this Golden Maiden Sect Guardian Elder hadn’t shown no killing intent, he would have thought that the matter of killing those two Daoists from the Golden Maiden Sect last time had been exposed.
With an impassive demeanor, he spoke.
"Good, continue talking, if you please me, I might give you a chance to reincarnate as a Yin Spirit."
Upon hearing, Zhao Cheng’s Dao Heart trembled, hurriedly speaking again.
"Thank you, senior! Liu Rui is a prodigy from our Golden Maiden Sect, having trained for over five hundred years and reached the Fifth Tribulation of the Yin Spirit Realm. She is highly valued by our sect’s Golden Radiance Saint Mother, and is now hiding in the city, preparing to tamper with the selected beauties, using the power of the seeds of sin to wreak havoc in the palace!"
Zhang Jian’s gaze shifted as he asked: "The seeds of sin you mentioned, are they from the Sinful Demon Sect’s refinement?"
The seeds of sin were introduced to Zhang Jian by the Preaching Elders of the sect!
This is the Demonic Dao Embryo, nurtured within a special Tripod Furnace, absorbing the life plates, vitality, and essence of one to several Tripod Furnaces, forming a special Sinful Demon Embryo.
