Ruins of the past

The Ring of Foolishness is a new ability that Chu Qiguang gained after his spiritual sublimation.

It allows him to cause demonic contamination through the flow of knowledge, affecting people within dozens of meters around him.

At this moment, as Chu Qiguang voluntarily gave up the knowledge of "Elixir of Death", the Ring of Foolishness emerged from his chest again. The purple flame seemed to be burning continuously, and the black unknown matter flowed out of the ring like blood.

In the small courtyard, Chen Zimo was exchanging punches with Chu Qiguang again, but suddenly he felt the back of his neck getting more and more itchy.

He swept out his claw, and the moment it touched Chu Qiguang's palm, he hit the guard on the side with a strange pulling force, and threw the opponent's claw away.

At this time, he felt that the back of his neck was even more itchy. The heartbreaking itch came so suddenly and penetrated so deeply into his bones...

Chen Zimo finally couldn't help but reached out and grabbed his back, and felt a burst of meat scraps flying around. His hands were already covered with blood and minced meat.

He exclaimed and tried to step back, but found that his feet gave way and fell to the ground. His feet had turned into a puddle of soft, boneless flesh.

The other nursing staff around him looked at him. Chen Zimo wanted to call for help but was suddenly choked.

He saw tentacles growing out of the faces of the nurses, and one even had tentacles sticking out of one person's eye sockets, rolling up that person's eyes.

‘Possessed? ’

A wave of chaos gradually enveloped his consciousness. He looked in the direction of Chu Qiguang and saw him approaching with an evil smile.

He murmured: "You...what did you do?"

Chu Qiguang asked curiously: "What does it feel like to be possessed by a demon?"

Chen Zimo forced himself to support his will and grabbed Chu Qiguang's ankle: "You...you..."

The evil intention in Chu Qiguang's eyes was even worse. He patted Chen Zimo on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will eradicate the root cause."

Chen Zimo opened his mouth and spat out a stream of black mucus.

He wanted to say something, but all he could see was a huge black void gradually filling his field of vision.

Through that hole, he seemed to be able to see the mystery beyond all human imagination.

Indescribable whispers came from the hollow, spreading evil charm.

Chen Zimo looked at the black hole almost uncontrollably, and was deeply fascinated by it.

When his head fell to the ground, he still had an intoxicated smile on his face and slowly crawled toward Chen Yuebai with his twisted and deformed body.

Because Chen Yuebai was far away, he was not yet possessed by the demon. At this moment, he screamed and wanted to run away, but he felt a pain in his feet, and his legs had been broken by stones thrown by Chu Qiguang.

Amidst Chen Yuebai's screams, Chu Qiguang looked up at the sky, feeling that the anger in his heart was gone, and his spirit seemed to have been sublimated.

‘According to what Qiao Zhi said, no matter how you improve in the fifth realm of cultivation, you will enter a state where it becomes easier and easier to sense the way of heaven. ’

'But if there is no correct way to practice Taoism, the more you sense the mysteries of heaven, the easier it will be to become possessed. ’

‘The fifth level of spiritual cultivation may be called a road of no return. ’

‘If you don’t become a fairy, you will become a devil. ’

‘But most people don’t improve as easily as me. ’

As Chen Yuebai's shouts gradually became weaker, Chu Qiguang left the Chen family before others arrived.

All Chen Zimo, Chen Yuebai, and the dozen or so guards...these witnesses were either dead or turned into monsters.

Since then, the Chen family must have been in a state of decline. The only thing Chu Qiguang had to do was to distance himself from the matter.

Soon after he came out, he found Qiao Zhi and several other cat demons at the agreed location, and then evacuated Liyang County according to the previously planned path.

Qiao Zhi on the road couldn't help but ask: "How was it? Is Chen Zimo surprised? Why was he shocked? What was his expression before he died?"

Seeing the other cat demons looking over with curiosity, Chu Qiguang thought to himself that these cat demons really like to watch shows.

In desperation, he casually described the scene at that time.

Chu Qiguang's description was dry, but Qiao Zhi listened with interest, and finally said with a pity on his face: "Oh, it would be great if you let me help you fight this fight."

"Speaking of which, I thought you wouldn't take action directly. I didn't expect you to be so bold this time."

After hearing this, Chu Qiguang's expression did not change, but he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart.

He began to analyze his action.

‘The Chen family has invested hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and it seems that they have no intention of stopping now. They have already formed a deadly enemy. ’

‘As for me, who is at the fifth level of martial arts, I have the support of monsters and the ability of the Ring of Foolishness to enchant the other party, which can make this case no longer suspicious of me. ’

'So killing the Chen family is indeed the fastest and most effective way...but...this is really not my habit. ’

He recalled some of the changes in his body after he entered the fifth realm in martial arts retreat this time.

At the fifth level of martial arts, Qi and blood are connected to the mysterious brain of the human body. Qi and blood can be used to support the brain and enhance the brain's control and movement ability over the body.

Therefore, warriors who have reached the fifth level can exert the magical effect of every ounce of energy and blood in their bodies, and can explode every inch of power in their bodies.

Both explosive power and physical strength far exceed those of warriors in the fourth realm.

‘Is it because I have entered the fifth realm of martial arts? The increase in strength makes me more inclined to take action directly? ’

After returning home, Chu Qiguang accidentally touched his chest and found a book. He opened it and found that it contained the incantations and prescriptions on the "Elixir of Life".

A flash of enlightenment immediately flashed in his mind: 'Did I activate the Ring of Foolishness this time to reveal the incantation and prescription of the "Elixir of Immortality"? ’

So he looked at the familiar notes in the book and began to study the incantations and prescriptions of the "Elixir of Life" again.

And the moment Chu Qiguang activated the Ring of Foolishness, the entire Beiyue Mansion seemed to be swept away by an invisible wave.

On the pier of Qingyang County, a black shadow emerged on the river, and finally turned into a furry head looking towards the location of Chu Qiguang...or the location of the Ring of Foolishness.

…

The next day, the news that the head of the Chen family had become a demon spread throughout Liyang County.

Rumor has it that at night, Chen Zimo became a demon and killed his grandson Chen Yuebai, and turned more than ten nursing homes into monsters.

When monsters pass by, lives are devastated and houses collapse.

When the Taoist priests arrived, a strong stench hit their faces.

The people chased along the blood trail and finally found a monster.

His head was like a basin cover and his body was as big as a house. Chen Zimo's face could barely be seen from the flesh and blood on his back.

An old man in Liyang County lamented that the accumulation of ten generations of the Chen family had all died in this generation, and they were all tainted by the devil because of their weak Taoist heart.

Everyone agreed, so they began to believe in Taoist Xuanyuan more and more. From then on, the Taoist temple in Liyang County became prosperous and blessed the whole place.
