Chapter 158: Inscription on the Town Hall

There was only a continuous hissing sound. It was the magic banners of the old Taoist Ji Yin that hit the fire dragon guarding the purple-gold mesh magic weapon. The fire dragon was furious when it saw that the other party was trying to seize the magic weapon. It opened its mouth full of ferocious teeth and spewed out blazing flames, rolling up thousands of heat waves. In the huge bursts of flames, there was also a fist-sized, bright red gem. It turned out to be the inner elixir that the fire dragon had cultivated for his entire life.

The fire dragon was covered with palm-sized fiery red scales, and there was a pair of crystal red horns on its head. They were half the thickness of a bucket and four or five feet long. They were not very big. Compared with the crystal pillar, it was like an earthworm. From time to time, it made a hissing sound in its mouth. It didn't look like a dragon, but rather a bit like a snake.

The old Taoist Ji Yin saw clearly that although this kind of foreign object could scare ordinary people, it was useless to a person like him who had profound evil skills, so he didn't take it seriously. He used the human and animal souls attached to several magic banners to resist. There were so many magic weapons here, so he hurried to take two more to be positive, but he didn't want to fight with these guarding fire dragons.

The fierce flames actually had the effect of refining Yin and breaking demons. The souls and evil spirits on several Xuanyin magic banners were rolled and burned by the flames, and they all made shrill ghost cries and shrank into the magic banners. The remaining power of the fierce flames was not weakened, and the inner elixir hit the magic banner where the real person Ji Yin collected the magic weapon. The two magic weapons were entangled together, and for a while, the magic banner was helpless.

The fire dragon rushed out even faster, circling around the crystal pillar, with four sharp claws on its feet, and red clouds rising around it. Its two fierce eyes as big as teacups stared at the old Taoist Ji Yin, but it could see that the old Taoist Ji Yin was not easy to mess with, so it did not dare to attack. It just spewed out fierce flames from its mouth, commanding the inner elixir to fight with the Xuanyin magic banner, and guarding its magic weapon to prevent it from being taken away.

"Weird, this is actually guarded by a living creature, not condensed by a forbidden formation, but it is so powerful." The old Taoist Ji Yin failed to collect the magic weapon once, and the Xuanyin banner was actually blocked by the magic power of the fire dragon. "Humph, you long worm, you are so powerful before you turn into a dragon. If you become a dragon and rise to the sky, that will be great. It will be just right to increase the power of my Xuanyin beast-gathering banner." The real person Ji Yin saw the situation clearly, and was overjoyed. He became more interested in the fire dragon, and didn't care much about the magic weapon in the hole.

The Xuanyin Beast Gathering Banner of the Jiyin Taoist Priest was originally designed to kill beasts and take away their souls. It was condensed with the underground Xuanyin evil spirit. Every time a soul is refined, the power increases by one point. After the banner is completed, it needs the nourishment of souls. The Jiyin Taoist Priest has obtained this treasure for hundreds of years. The skills he has practiced are the Xuanyin Sutra that matches the magic banner. He has been very familiar with it. Even if he gets other magic weapons, they are just cannon fodder when the heavenly calamity comes. When facing the enemy, these 9981 Xuanyin magic banners are more convenient.

This banner has been extremely powerful since the evil master successfully refined it. Later, because the banner was used to resist the heavenly tribulation, more than half of the souls attached to it were consumed, and some of them were even broken and damaged. The evil master was eager to ascend to heaven and did not repair it. After the old Taoist Ji Yin got it, he barely sacrificed and repaired it, and restored a lot of its power. However, he resisted a great heavenly tribulation and lost a lot of it. Now he can't set up the Xuanyin formation, and he urgently needs to refine the souls of humans and beasts. These fire dragons are just the best targets. They are full of spiritual power, fierce and violent, and more than a hundred times stronger than ordinary souls.

There are hundreds of thousands of fire dragons here, especially the higher you go, the stronger the fire dragons are. I'm afraid that the top few are not much different from real dragons, and their Taoism is comparable to his own. If all are refined, these 9981 Xuanyin banners can restore their former power, or even be much stronger.

"Come on!" The old Taoist Ji Yin secretly shouted in his heart, and did not hold back, and attacked with all his strength. All the magic flags were sacrificed, and the number of nine was nine. Every nine magic flags rotated around a main flag. The evil wind, the dark black silk, the devils and demons, and the demons and yakshas all appeared. The black air was spread out, and ghosts cried and gods howled. The fierce smoke spewed by the fire dragon was blown by the cold wind, and it was immediately extinguished. The fire dragon saw that the situation was not good, took back the inner elixir, and did not care about the magic weapon it was guarding, and fled upwards. How could the old Taoist Ji Yin let it escape? The black air covered it and wrapped the fire dragon.

After a split, the old Taoist Ji Yin blew out his true essence, the black gas dissipated, and the magic banners all showed their true forms. On the dark surface of one of the main banners, a fire dragon that looked the same as before appeared. It was sucked into the magic banner and struggled repeatedly, but countless naked Yaksha demons nearby pounced on it and bit it. The fire dragon was bound by the magic banner and could not move. It could only open its eyes and scream at the top of its lungs, but the sound was blocked by the magic banner's restriction, and only faint wails could be heard.

The old Taoist Ji Yin then blew out another mouthful of magic energy, and blazing magic fires burst out on all the banners, instantly refining the fire dragon and dissolving it into the main banner. The main banner suddenly grew longer and its color became darker and richer, and it was obvious that its power had increased.

Although the fire dragon was powerful, it was only at the level of a spirit-transforming cultivator. The fire dragon could not resist the full force of the Jiyin Taoist. After refining the fire dragon, Jiyin Taoist would not let go of the magic weapon. He even put the green jade slip into his Jiezi space without taking a closer look. He rose up and blasted a hole with a thunderbolt.

These red dragons seemed to have nothing to do with each other. As long as the magic weapon they were guarding was not moved, they would not care and would stay in the hole. It was very strange.

Not to mention that the old Taoist Ji Yin took advantage of this side, but there was trouble over there. There were originally nine crystal pillars, but there were dozens of people present. Xuanyuan Fa Wang, the toad, and Wen Lanxin each occupied one. The powerful bear king was also a local overlord with great means, so he naturally occupied one. The three saints of Tianshui, Jiao Buli Meng and Meng Buli Jiao, occupied one at the same time. The seven or eight disciples of the old Taoist Xuanwu formed two groups, each led by a returning to the void cultivator, and joined forces to fight the fire dragon guarding the treasure cave. In a short while, they had killed several dragons and obtained several magic weapons, all of which were of superior quality. They were all very happy, but the higher they went, the more powerful the fire dragons became, and their bodies became much larger, no longer like the original appearance. They all had some magical powers, and some of them could even control the magic weapons they guarded to fight. With the skills and Taoism of these people, it was quite difficult.

As a result, all nine crystal pillars were occupied. Zhou Qing and Fairy Yunxia hesitated for a moment, but failed to fight for them. The old Taoist Xuanwu, the Three Saints of Tianshui, and the Mighty Bear King were in the same group as him, so Zhou Qing could not go forward to share a share. The Dharma King Xuanyuan and the toad Wen Lanxin could not touch them, otherwise the three of them would suddenly turn against each other, and Zhou Qing was not sure to deal with the toad. As for the fierce man of the old Taoist Jiyin, although he was the same person, his Xuanyin Banner was too powerful, and now he had refined several fire dragons in succession, which made the old Taoist scream with joy, and he was eager to find someone to fight. It seemed that Zhou Qing did not want to touch that bad luck.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to secretly observe the Taoist methods of the rest of the people. Anyway, he didn't lack those magic weapons. The three saints of Tianshui joined forces, and they were naturally extremely powerful. The first few fire dragons were bombarded by the evolved water apes and water mines, and then the inner elixir and the corpses were taken by Qing Shenzi and the red-haired ancestor. These fire dragons were full of spiritual energy and were excellent materials for refining magic weapons and elixirs.

The old Taoist Xuanwu was the most kind-hearted. He just drove the purple fire on the Eight Scenery Lamp to overcome fire with fire, trapped the fire dragon in it, and then used forbidden methods to control the soul and not hurt its life. He wanted to tame it as a spiritual beast to guard the mountain gate and cave in the future. In this way, the progress was slowed down.

The toad was the most ferocious. The emerald mountain peak was raised, and several fire dragons were smashed to pieces at a glance. Their bodies were blurred, and even their inner elixir and soul were not left. The toad didn't feel sorry for it, and took the magic weapon directly. In a moment, it reached the top and fought with a huge fire dragon. The fire dragon coiled on the pillar, baring its teeth and claws, driving this ring-like magic weapon to fight with the toad. The magic weapon was shining with golden light and had a huge momentum. Every time it collided with the mountain, it made a deafening sound. Even the crystal pillar shook and trembled, as if it was about to collapse, which frightened Zhou Qing.

However, the Xuanyuan Dharma King was very labor-saving. Eight sky ghosts were released, and the sharp ghost claws appeared directly in the void, tearing the body of the fire dragon. It also reached the top and fought with a fire dragon driving a black gold jade, but it was at a disadvantage and could not do anything to the fire dragon.

Wen Lanxin released his second soul, the demon god image on the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, and also killed several fire dragons, and got several good magic weapons. The powerful bear king was very advanced, and he also killed to the top, and fought with a fire dragon driving a purple jade plate. The battle was fierce, light and shadow burst out, roars continued, and the flames and green fire rolled, and they fought hard.

Seeing that several disciples of Xuanwu Laodao were fighting a fire dragon very hard, Zhou Qing asked: "Fellow Taoists, do you need my help!" Those monster monks were besieged by the fierce flames of the fire dragon, especially this fire dragon also drove dozens of red flying swords to pierce back and forth, and its long tail smashed on the defense light shield of these people, bursting out groups of big flames. These people were completely in a passive defense. The fire dragon seemed very proud, and kept roaring, and the attack was more fierce. Several monks were in great pain, and they had no time to answer.

Zhou Qing also knew that these people were in a critical situation. He just asked questions to reassure these cultivators that he had no intention of robbing them, so as to prevent them from having any intention of concluding a war. He and Fairy Yunxia set up a light of escape, and in the blink of an eye they were above the battlefield. Seeing the raging fire, the situation was critical. Fairy Yunxia released the Qingni Fairy Sword, which split into hundreds of thousands of blue Taixu magic needles and shot towards the body of the fire dragon, like a blue rainstorm. The talismans on the Taixu magic array turned and flashed with cold light. The fire dragon knew that this magic weapon was powerful, so it quickly drove the dozens of flying swords to dance rapidly, interweaving into a fire net, and rushed towards the dense magic needles. The pressure on several cultivators was greatly reduced, and the flying swords and magic weapons fought against the fierce flames spewed by the fire dragon, and there was no danger for a while.

Zhou Qing saw that the fire dragon was a little flustered, and was secretly happy. He took off a purple bracelet from his wrist. The bracelet was sharp on all sides and had many hooks. A closer look revealed that it was made of twelve centipedes biting each other head to tail. It was Zhou Qing's magic weapon. He threw the bracelet, and purple light rushed towards the fire dragon. The purple light was extremely weak and was not afraid of flames. The fire dragon was busy fighting and did not pay attention. When the purple light approached, it suddenly separated. The twelve centipedes suddenly grew larger and entangled the fire dragon tightly. They opened their sharp mouths and claws, biting and tearing the skin scales, and sucking the essence and blood. The fire dragon was bitten by the centipede, and its whole body changed from fiery red to light blue. It was actually poisoned and could not move. In a blink of an eye, it was sucked into an empty shell by the centipede. A dragon-shaped phantom wrapped in an inner pill rushed out and wanted to fly away. Zhou Qing opened a Pluto flag and took it in. It was directly swallowed by the Dutian Demon God on the flag and became a tonic.

The dozen flying swords were taken away by several monks and divided among themselves. They were all extremely happy. These flying swords were much better than their own magic weapons. They had no objection to Zhou Qing taking the fire dragon. If it weren't for Zhou Qing and the others' help, they would have been killed by the fire dragon. At that moment, they were even more grateful to Zhou Qing.

There were several more powerful fire dragons above, but these cultivators had no way to deal with them, so they had to give up and politely said a few words to Zhou Qing. They gathered together to help the other cultivators deal with the fire dragons. Zhou Qing and Fairy Yunxia were certainly not polite. The two of them joined forces. Although the fire dragons above were powerful and could control magic weapons, Zhou Qing used the Immortal Binding Rope and Fairy Yunxia used the Qingni Immortal Sword. The three fire dragons became supplements for the centipede and the Pluto Flag in a moment. However, the last fire dragon was much stronger, and the magic weapon it used was also extremely magical. It was a bronze mirror the size of a washbasin, emitting thousands of golden lights. Although Zhou Qing and Fairy Yunxia had the upper hand, they could not do anything to the fire dragon for a while.

Suddenly, there was a long roar, and all the sounds were covered. The toad raised the mountain and smashed the fire dragon's Wujingui with a thud. The mountain flew down and smashed the fire dragon into a ball of meat paste. Blood rained, and the fire dragon on a crystal pillar was slaughtered by the toad.

As soon as the fire dragon died, the crystal pillar suddenly roared and shrank into the ground. The golden altar that was originally blocked by smoke and clouds became clear. The huge blue stone tablet that reached the sky was shining, and two golden seal characters appeared.

Zhou Qing recognized it this time. The two golden seal characters were the two big characters "Zhenfu". The toad was stunned, and suddenly his face was ecstatic. He roared again and pounced on the stone tablet.

Zhou Qing immediately understood and was very anxious. He was entangled by the fire dragon and could not get away. With a roar, Zhou Qing finally showed his golden body.
