Yu Tang was still thinking about it.
Qin Junyang turned around and saw him standing with Nan Hong, with one of Nan Hong's hands on Yu Tang's shoulder, the two of them discussing something.
His face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
They stopped holding back.
Black mist rose and spread from all around, turning the once clear sky into a cloudy one.
Even the Buddhist bells are affected by it and begin to ring.
The blood-red sonic blade, amplified several times over, ripped through the middle-aged Taoist's robe, knocking him down.
After doing all this, Qin Junyang put down his zither and went to Yu Tang and the stunned Nan Hong.
Two terrifying gazes almost burned two holes through Nan Hong's hands.
He spoke coldly.
I still want to keep your hand.
"Just take it away..."

The villain is resurrected for the ninth time (20)
Nan Hong felt uneasy under Qin Junyang's gaze.
Take your hand away immediately.
Qin Junyang's expression remained grim.
He ignored Yu Tang's master and many elders who surrounded him from behind.
His eyes were fixed on Yu Tang as he said, "The Cleansing Technique. Give it to yourself."
Yu Tang snapped out of her daze, realizing that he was jealous again, so she just smiled helplessly and cast a cleansing spell on herself.
After he finished throwing it away, Qin Junyang reached out and carefully dusted off the non-existent dust from Yu Tang's shoulder.
Then she put her arm around Yu Tang, glared at Nan Hong defiantly, and exuded a strong sense of intimidation.
Nan Hong scratched his head, puzzled.
At this moment, Yu Tang's master, Daoist Qinghu, also came over. His Daoist robe was tattered, and blood was seeping from the wounds caused by the sound blade. However, they were all minor injuries and did not affect his movements.
"Lord Ghost——"
Unexpectedly, they did not cause any more trouble for Qin Junyang, but instead knelt down before him.
"Please, save the people of this world!"
Qin Junyang frowned.
They clearly didn't understand what was going on.
He put one arm around Yu Tang, tilted his head slightly, and whispered in Yu Tang's ear, "Yu Tang, does your master have some serious illness?"
"Could it be that they saw how capable I was, so they chickened out and tried to curry favor with me?"
Yu Tang gently pushed him away, but her face was unusually serious.
He shielded Qin Junyang behind him and asked Master Qinghu, "Master, can you tell me what your plan is?"
The script says that the Taoists of Qingnan Mountain will set up a large formation to strangle Qin Junyang.
But when he arrived a thousand years ago, he discovered that Qin Junyang was kind by nature.
And Chi Yu's sect's current attitude is not to regard Qin Junyang as an enemy.
So he was curious about what this plan was all about.
What caused the death of the fish in the pond and the sealing of Qin Junyang?
When Master Qinghu faced Yu Tang, who had a serious expression, his eyes darted away and he seemed a little guilty.
Finally, he let out a long sigh, got up, and walked into Qingnan Mountain, which was protected by the Buddha's Bell.
"Follow me."
Master Qinghu led them to the Star-Gazing Hall in Qingnan Mountain.
In the center of the hall is a star chart, engraved on a stone platform. Using the secret method of Qingnan Mountain to infuse it with spiritual energy, star trails will be generated, and the future can be divined based on the trend of the star trails.
“Chiyu, actually, when I sent you down the mountain, it was just a test.”
Master Qinghu waved his hand, causing the star chart to appear, and said, "Thirty years ago, war broke out everywhere. We divined that the reason was that an evil god descended to earth, set up formations in various places, stole the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and created drought, plague, death, and famine in order to absorb resentment and strengthen himself."
"We Taoists of Qingnan Mountain have always taken it upon ourselves to eliminate demons, protect the righteous path, and save all living beings. Therefore, we cannot ignore this matter."
"But our abilities are really limited. Back then, your grandmaster and grand-uncle both died at the hands of the evil god. Before they died, in order to protect us, they could only use divine artifacts to protect the sect, allowing us to recuperate in Qingnan Mountain and wait for a destined person."
He said that the destined person would appear along with the fifth artifact, the "Mirror of the Body".
"Later, on a snowy day twenty years ago, you, still a baby, appeared in front of the mountain gate, holding the 'Cong' body mirror that is now hanging on your waist."
The image on the astrolabe shows a small fish, which is hugging a round mirror and munching on it.
Standing to the side, Qin Junyang found it novel and poked and touched it with his finger.
Yu Tang pulled his hand away, and he pouted unhappily, then turned his attention to Daoist Qinghu, asking lazily.
"So, according to you, Chi Yu is the one destined to kill the evil god in the divination?"
Chapter 21
The villain is resurrected for the ninth time (21)
“He is the one destined to be killed, but he alone cannot kill the evil god.” Master Qinghu continued, “Ten years ago, we did another divination. The horoscope showed that this year, if we release the fish down the mountain, he will bring back someone who can truly kill the evil god.”
At this point, Master Qinghu looked at Qin Junyang and continued, "Now it seems that it was not a coincidence that you, Lord Ghost God, were able to come to our Qingnan Mountain with Chi Yu, but rather it was destiny."
Qin Junyang was taken aback.
After a few seconds, he suddenly laughed.
But perhaps out of pride, he tried his best to restrain himself from laughing too obviously: "Oh, is that so?"
Privately, she tugged at Yu Tang's sleeve and pulled him aside, saying, "Look, look, your master said it was destiny for us to be together!"
"And I'm the only one capable of killing an evil god! I'm practically the hope of your entire Qingnan Mountain! Now, no one will dare disrespect me!"
His eyes sparkled as he leaned close to Yu Tang's face, his eyebrows curving into a smile, and asked, "Tell me, am I amazing? Am I outstanding?"
Yu Tang was amused by his appearance.
But deep down, worries and doubts still linger.
He gently praised and coaxed Qin Junyang, telling him to leave the Star Gazing Hall to have a meal.
He turned around and went back to the Star Gazing Hall, looked at Master Qinghu, and asked, "Master, ghosts and gods are only demigods, while evil gods are true gods with complete divine status. Their powers are almost worlds apart."
"Do you have any other plans?"
"Hmm..." Master Qinghu did not intend to continue to hide it from Yu Tang. He sighed and said, "Your sixteen senior uncles and I have devoted ourselves to research for decades and finally mastered a strangulation formation. It uses the power of ghosts and gods as the main force and the power of the seventeen of us as the auxiliary force to completely strangle the evil gods."
Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat, and he continued to ask, "What is the price?"
"It is... the fate of us seventeen people and the spirits."
Stepping out of the Star Gazing Hall, Yu Tang looked up at the gloomy sky, the pent-up frustration in his heart refusing to dissipate.
Xiao Jin noticed his bad mood and comforted him, saying, "Master, I think that since you and Qin Junyang were able to appear a thousand years in the future in the eighth world, you still have a glimmer of hope in this world a thousand years in the past..."
“I understand…” Yu Tang gave a wry smile and said, “I just remembered when Qin Meimei complained about this script, saying that the little Taoist priest with the fish in the pond was too much, why choose the common people instead of ghosts and gods? Now that it’s really my turn to make the choice, I realize that it is indeed very difficult…”
Chi Yu's master and uncles had long been prepared to risk their lives for the sake of those refugees who didn't even know their names.
Decades of preparation, all for the sake of waiting for Qin Junyang's arrival.
He has no right to ruin his master's plans for his own selfish desires.
But he couldn't personally push Qin Junyang into the fire pit...
Yu Tang hadn't eaten. While he was thinking, he arrived at his room, pushed open the door, and found Qin Junyang lying on the bed, rolling around with his blanket in his arms.
She quickly stopped her childish behavior when she saw him coming.
Leaning against the headboard, pretending to be serious, I said, "You're here."
"Um……"
Yu Tang sat down, and Qin Junyang leaned in, keenly sensing that something was wrong with his mood.
"Why aren't you smiling again?" Qin Junyang used two fingers to smooth out Yu Tang's furrowed brows.
"Aren't you happy to be back at your sect?"
"Did you listen to that stinky Taoist priest again? Oh, no, I mean, what your master said?"
Seeing that Yu Tang remained silent, Qin Junyang assumed that he was worried about the evil god, so he patted his chest and said, "If it's about killing the evil god, you don't need to worry at all. I'm much more powerful than the evil god, and I will definitely not disappoint your master."
“You can’t do it.” Yu Tang’s eyes were slightly red, and his voice was a little hoarse. “You’re just a demigod. You can’t fight against an evil god.”
"You underestimate me?"
"I didn't underestimate you, I just..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Tang's vision went black; Qin Junyang had caught him.
Unlike his usual arrogant and narcissistic tone, Qin Junyang's voice was more serious and heavy at this moment.
"I know you're worried about me."
“Yu Tang, when I told you that the world was about to collapse, you asked me if I had a way to resolve it.”
"I answer you."
"Now I'll tell you the method: use the gods to create an array, and use the array to break the array."
"And I happen to be the only god in this world besides that evil god."
"So, I knew then that going with you wouldn't be an easy thing."
