However, Qiong Qi was clearly more terrifying than the Black Emperor.

If Xia Ji wanted to kill him, he could do it with the Heavenly Law of Mouth, the Wheel of Yin Yang Karmic Book, or the Sea Calming Pearl.

However, the problem was that Qiong Qi was immortal.

No matter how many pieces you cut him into, he would regenerate almost instantly.

Moreover, as the Lord of Resentment, Qiong Qi could devour resentment to become stronger. Now that it could devour Dao runes, its strength had naturally increased by many times.

Fortunately, he was limited by the area. Bai Zhu said that the area should be five thousand miles in circumference and ten thousand miles in diameter.

Therefore, as long as they were within a radius of ten thousand miles and a diameter of twenty thousand miles around Kai An City, they would definitely not encounter Qiong Qi.

Since Xia Ji realized that something was wrong, he was ready to make a move.

He chose from the many sects and then decided on a sect south of Kai An City.

This sect was called the Fallen Moon Sect.

The reason why he chose this sect was because this sect was one of the first sects to fall into chaos. When the other sects started to fall into chaos, the Falling Moon Sect had already calmed down, and it looked as if the dust had settled.

However, from another perspective, the Falling Moon Sect might have already ” completed ” it.

Before Xia Ji set off, he left Miao Miao with the Church of Death, with Little Su accompanying her.

Then, he had Madam Xue sit at a spot that was closer to the Falling Moon Sect but still maintained a distance of ten thousand miles from Kai An City. She used her Essence Soul to observe from above and share her vision with him.

As for Bai Zhu, he brought her with him. If something unimaginable really happened, Bai Zhu could cooperate with him.

After doing all of this, he had the Saha Tree Demon Qi Jue teleport him and the White Torch Earth Escape to the foot of the mountain where the Fallen Moon Sect was located.

Xia Ji and Bai Zhu put on the simple copper masks in advance and attacked.

Xia Ji’s actions were very smooth. He had drawn the ground as a prison and circled an entire sect.

The method he chose was also very simple. That was to use his aura and strength to force the other sect to activate the “Mountain Protection Array”.

Once the array was activated, the sect was separated from the outside world.

The people outside could not enter, and the people inside could not leave. This process would last for at least ten years and was irreversible. There was no way that the Protective Mountain Array could be closed again.

Then, Xia Ji’s left hand slapped out the Wheel of Yin and Yang Karma Book. This Wheel of Karma had a very special method that could directly ‘create a hole’ in the protective formation.

The original function of the Wheel of Yin and Yang was to stick to the enemy’s power and then mix it with his own power to attack.

At this moment, it was stuck to the power of the “Mountain Protecting Array” and then collided with the array itself to offset it, thus reaching a balance.

Therefore, he did not destroy the array, nor was he blocked by the array. He directly walked into the array with Bai Zhu under the dumbfounded gazes of the sect cultivators.

He took back the Yin Yang Karmic Book Wheel and the Protective Mountain Array was restored.

Thus, the entire sect was surrounded.

The Falling Moon Sect once again put up a symbolic resistance and was completely disarmed.

Xia Ji and Bai Zhu, this strange pair of partners, were no longer existences that could be countered by numbers.

Xia Ji directly sat down on the seat of the sect master of the Fallen Moon Sect with a golden saber and a broad horse. Bai Zhu stood behind him, and the two of them gathered all the people of the Fallen Moon Sect into the main hall.

The Fallen Moon Sect was not considered a large sect, and had a total of 2,654 people.

These people stood in the hall in fear and solemnity, waiting for their unknown fate.

Then, Xia Ji and Bai Zhu conducted an inquiry and investigation. In the end, there was nothing unusual. The reason why the Falling Moon Sect was in chaos previously was entirely because there was a change in the sect’s old and new sect leaders, and there were also sects outside that wanted to interfere, so the chaos erupted.

It was reasonable.

Thus, Xia Ji had Bai Zhu stand guard in the main hall while he conducted a search in the area where the Fallen Moon Sect was located. He even found some diary entries written by ordinary disciples in some of the mezzanines and flipped through them.

However, even the diary only recorded some of the disciples ‘cultivation insights, or their likes and dislikes in the sect, or their hostility towards a certain senior or junior, or their love for a certain senior or junior.

He flipped through many books, and most of them were like this.

Then, he discovered many secret chambers, so he went to investigate again. Although there were some small secrets, they were completely worthless to him.

After a long time…

When Xia Ji returned to the main hall, Bai Zhu looked at him. Xia Ji shook his head, indicating that he had found nothing.

This time, Bai Zhu also frowned slightly. The two of them clearly sensed that there was a problem, but they did not know where the problem was.

That would be a big problem.

Bai Zhu had already finished collecting the ” transmigrator’s data ” and was ready to return. At this moment, she was prepared to wait until this matter was more clear before returning.

Thus, the two of them spent a few more days conducting various tests, but the cultivators of the Falling Moon Sect all behaved very normally. They all had the appearance of ” cultivators in distress facing two terrifying existences, their life and death not in their own hands. ” There were abnormalities, but these abnormalities were due to the above mentality, and this was extremely normal.

Seven days later.

Spring willows were like smoke.

The wind from the upper reaches of the mountain stream brought the fragrance of flowers.

Bai Zhu and Xia Ji stood by the stream. They looked at each other and knew that there was no point in continuing the investigation.

” In the past, the Blacktide only had one attitude towards the cultivators of the sects, ” Bai Zhu said. ” That is to kill them. So, there are no secrets. ”

“Could it be that the resentful master is creating resentment?” Xia Ji thought for a moment.

Bai Zhu shook her head.

Xia Ji thought about it and shook his head. There was actually a lot of resentment in the world, and there was no need to deliberately create it. If he really wanted to create it, he only needed to let the Blacktide wreak havoc, and it would naturally cause many families to be destroyed and many disasters to occur. Resentment would naturally arise.

However, that was not the case.

” It doesn’t make sense if there’s a ‘source of corruption’, ” Xia Ji added. ” Many people in the church have not been infected. ”

“The Blacktide will never pollute the mind…” Bai Zhu said.

The two of them fell silent.

” Then let’s hide our identities and pretend to be ordinary cultivators, ” Xia Ji said. ” We’ll secretly join a sect and spend some time investigating. ”

Bai Zhu’s expression changed a few times. Considering the importance of this matter, he had to get to the bottom of it before he could return. He nodded, ” Alright, that’s the only way. ”
