Chapter 1562: Chapter 1563: Dao Sect’s Mysterious Xin

The ruins withered, revealing at long last the full visage of the Taoist temple to everyone present.

A scene of utter disarray.

Compared to the previous tranquility, akin to a calm ancient well, the true state of the Taoist temple seemed to have undergone a baptism of a catastrophic natural disaster, and to describe it as a ruin would be no exaggeration.

All around lay broken limbs and shattered walls; not a single intact spot to be found at a glance.

"It is Master’s Spiritual Energy."

Chen Mengmeng’s assertion confirmed that they had not mistaken the place; this was indeed the Bixiao Cave where the Azure Sky Cave Master resided.

"Who dares to intrude?"

An ethereal voice emerged from within the temple, clearly laced with a trace of anger.

The Earth Immortal who had dispelled the illusion knew that the one capable of setting this array must possess strength beyond his own, thus he spoke politely.

"May I ask if you are Qing Tian, the Big Monster that once integrated into the Dao Sect?"

"It is I. What business do you have with me?"

The response from within made the Earth Immortal furrow his brows. Before he could speak, Chen Mengmeng took the lead.

"May I ask, esteemed senior, has my master come to you?"

"Your master? Cang Qing?"

A single phrase caused Chen Mengmeng’s pupils to dilate as she excitedly said, "Yes! Where is my master now?"

"Dead!"

"Impossible!"

Chen Mengmeng spoke agitatedly, then stood up ready to rush into the temple, but fortunately, Bei Tang Qian Xiao reacted swiftly and grabbed hold of Chen Mengmeng, preventing her from plunging headlong into the temple.

"Elder, we have come on behalf of Daoist Cang Qing. If your conflict has been resolved, might we take Daoist Cang Qing away with us?"

This place was the opponent’s domain, where even an Earth Immortal would face a life-or-death situation if they intruded recklessly. So Bei Tang Qian Xiao understood well that it would be best to resolve this amicably, yet...

"Take away? Allow you to take him now, only to have him cause me trouble again in a few months’ time? In consideration of the Dao Sect, I can allow you to leave, thus resolving the last thread of karma between me and the Dao Sect. Now go away."

Hearing these words, Bei Tang Qian Xiao turned her head slightly confused. She still didn’t understand the relationship between this practitioner of the Demonic Path and the Dao Sect, nor did she grasp why Cang Qing True Master went to this place to court death.

Seeing the confusion among the crowd, the Earth Immortal who had guessed the inside story slowly began to speak.

"Big Monster Qing Tian, a hundred years ago, was merely an ordinary member of the Demon Clan with mediocre talent. After the victory in the great battle of Xia Country, there was an initial stage of relative peace between the Demon Clan and the Human Clan. He then began a period of roaming in Xia Country."

"Enough! I don’t want to hear any more of this."

A hint of impatience could be clearly sensed in Qing Tian’s voice from within the temple, but this did not stop the Earth Immortal from continuing.

"During his travels, he visited the four Great Gates. Due to a significant karmic connection, he received guidance from the Sect Leader of the Dao Sect at the time, which opened his eyes and allowed him to ascend from Demon Emperor to Demon Monarch, and he found the great Dao that belonged to him. One could say that Big Monster Qing Tian’s ascension to Demon God was thanks to this journey. Thus, nominally, Cang Qing True Master could even be considered as half his master."

"I told you to shut up!"

Inside the temple, the exasperated voice of Qing Tian echoed as countless ruins surged towards the crowd, but as they neared, they disintegrated into dust and vanished before everyone.

The Earth Immortal stood before the group, withstanding all the oppressive might from Qing Tian, then calmly said: "Since you have such karma with the Dao Sect, why must you persist in this unrelenting pursuit against Daoist Cang Qing?"

"Do you think I wanted this? If it weren’t for that old fool pushing me to my limits, why would I ever lift a finger against him! It ruined my Dao Heart, it’s not that I wanted him dead, he brought this upon himself!"

As Qing Tian’s agitated voice faded, a huge ape with a fur-covered body appeared within the Taoist temple.

The massive Dharma Body still bore countless unhealed wounds, obviously left from the previous battle with Cang Qing True Master.

Chen Mengmeng could no longer hold back upon seeing this scene, and spoke up to interrogate again, "Where is my master?"

"I’m standing right here, what do you think?"

The towering humanoid ape looked down at Chen Mengmeng, only to see the youth’s eyes red with a hatred and murderous intent so thick it almost materialized and attacked him. Even so, Chen Mengmeng did not make any rash moves.

"Such strong restraint, similar to mine back in the day."

"How dare you, a master-slaying traitor, compare yourself to Mengmeng?!"

Recognizing that Chen Mengmeng was on the brink of exploding, Bei Tang Qian Xiao shouted out urgently.

Qing Tian seemed stung by these words, his brows furrowing slightly as he looked at the woman and said, "Do you really think I wanted to kill that old geezer? If it wasn’t for him begging for death himself."

"Cang Qing True Master sought the Dao his whole life; he would not be someone unreasonable."

The Earth Immortal not only seemed to understand Qing Tian but also had some knowledge about Cang Qing True Master.

Hearing this, Qing Tian’s gaze immediately fixed on the Earth Immortal as he interrogated, "Who exactly are you? Why do you know so much about me, about Cang Qing’s matters? What is your Dao name?"

The incidents regarding Qing Tian and the Dao Sect were known to more within the Demon Clan, but on the Human Clan side, aside from a few organizations or the really well-informed super aristocratic families, there were not many who knew.

This was also why Bei Tang Qian Xiao from the Bei Tang Family couldn’t find any traces of information.

Listening to the Earth Immortal’s words, he shook his head, "I have no Dao name, nor do I have a name now, but in the past, I did have a title. Before I returned to secular life, I was known as Dao Kong."

"So you’re that monk from the Dao Sect?"

"Dao Kong the Elder?"

Chen Mengmeng also glanced sideways in surprise; although he hadn’t heard of Qing Tian’s name, he was familiar with the name Dao Kong.

This legendary cultivator who transferred from the Buddhist Sect to the Dao Sect ultimately chose to return to secular life after ascending Mount Qingcheng.

"Indeed, maybe it’s because we have similar experiences that I specifically asked Cang Qing True Master about your situation in the past. I used to think you, like me, would show respect to the True Master, but I didn’t expect..."

"Shut your mouth! What do you know! I’ve said it already, if he hadn’t pushed me so hard, why would I have crossed swords with him? Do you think I wanted to kill him? I just couldn’t turn back anymore!"

"Are you speaking of constraints?" Dao Kong asked curiously.

However, Qing Tian coldly snorted, "Whether there’s a constraint or not, what does it matter anymore? Cang Qing must die by my hands, otherwise..."

Just as Qing Tian began to speak, suddenly a dragon’s roar echoed from the depths of the Taoist temple, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.

At the same time, Bai Qiu’s telepathic message reached everyone’s ears.

"We’ve found him! He’s still breathing!"

Without his peak powers restored, Bai Qiu’s telepathy naturally couldn’t escape Qing Tian’s senses. Those words reached not only the ears of Chen Mengmeng and the others but Qing Tian’s as well.

Qing Tian’s eyes widened in an instant, and just as he was about to turn around, numerous golden pillars fell from the sky, trapping Qing Tian.

With a grave change in expression, Dao Kong spoke out, "You all go rescue him, I’ll hold this one off!"
