Xu Qing is very busy now, but not completely without free time.

The time has now come to July.

This is the season of harvest.

Yet, the Black Mountain Demon has still not shown its true form.

According to Xu Qing's estimation, it's likely to wait until July 15th.

Today is the eighth, calculating the time, there are seven days left.

After seven days, everything should be settled.

Xu Qing hopes time moves quickly, yet rarely finds himself a bit worried; if the result is bad, what then? In truth, he doesn't have absolute confidence at this point.

The Mountain and River Map is certainly powerful, even the Black Mountain Demon wants to snatch it, but the Black Mountain Demon did not exert full force when fighting for the Mountain and River Map.

This is also something Xu Qing is concerned about.

If the Mountain and River Map could decide the final victory, the old demon wouldn't have retreated so easily back then.

Of course, Xu Qing also did not reveal all his cards at the Fengling Ferry by the Yellow River.

Similarly, neither did Your Majesty.

As he thought about these matters, he reviewed the case files.

The files are the messy affairs of the powerful and the nobles in the Capital.

Which people can stay, and which should be eliminated, all need careful consideration.

However, the final judgment still needs to wait until after the Zhongyuan Festival.

He suddenly had a thought.

The gates of the Xu Residence were wide open, and Xu Qing personally came out to greet, seeing Chen Zhong.

Then, he knew the purpose of Chen Zhong's visit.

"Young Protector Xu, do you have confidence?" Chen Zhong inquired.

"I'll give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhong was a bit disappointed.

Old Xu, either you can or you can't. What does "give it a try" mean?

Chen Zhong actually understood very well, with Prince Yu dead, everyone is at peace. Alive, everyone feels uneasy.

But if Xu Qing could even bring a dead person back, Chen Zhong would be less afraid of death, perhaps hoping Xu Qing could save him at the Ghost Gate in the future.

"Let's go to the Chaotian Temple first." Xu Qing added calmly.

"Alright."

…

…

The Chaotian Temple was still a temple not long ago.

But because the Snowfield Living Buddha was suppressed by Xu Qing, the Dao-loving powerful in the Capital restored the Chaotian Temple to its original form overnight.

The Great Yu Dynasty's pace on projects is usually not very fast.

But this time, progress was immediate.

The Temple Master naturally returned to the faithful Chaotian Temple.

He was now faced with a big dilemma.

To save or not to save?

It's not only an issue of capability but other considerations as well...

Luckily, Xu Qing arrived.

"Prince Yu drank poisoned wine, showing no signs of struggle before death." The Temple Master first determined the cause of Prince Yu's death.

So it was in fact.

"I was beside him when the Prince drank the poison." Teacher Dai spoke.

He did not rush to die alongside Prince Yu.

Because he thought there might be a turn for the better.

Xu Qing nodded slightly, placing his hand on Prince Yu's chest. The clothes on Prince Yu's chest ripped open, and an invisible breath surged into Xu Qing's palm.

Then, Xu Qing's jade-like palm turned pitch black.

Moments later, he removed his palm, and the black palm returned to its original state.

Prince Yu's face regained some color, absent of the black swelling from poisoning, and there was even a faint sound of breathing.

Chen Zhong stood watching in shock.

Xu Gongming could really "Raise the dead, and revive bones"?

At this moment, in Chen Zhong's eyes, Xu Qing was no longer just the pillar of the Great Yu Dynasty, the purple and gold beam above the sea; he was Yama, the master of life and death.

Teacher Dai also showed joy in his eyes.

But the Temple Master remained calm, as if he had expected it.

Perhaps he also could achieve this step.

"Can Prince Yu wake up?" Chen Zhong suppressed his shock and whispered.

"No, I just temporarily revived the Prince's body. The Prince's soul has already left the body; if it doesn't return, he'd remain just a living dead." Xu Qing said calmly.

Chen Zhong thought, "That's a good thing."

The Chaotian Temple Master: "It's hard to revive a person, even harder to restore a soul. Are you confident for the soul-summoning, Gongming?"

Xu Qing: "I'll give it a try."

Chen Zhong thought to himself, what's there to try.

Being neither dead nor alive is great.

But obviously, Xu Qing didn't think so.

He began chanting the spell, walking around Prince Yu, stepping on the stars and pacing the Dipper.

However, soon, a layer of golden light emanated from Prince Yu's body, neutralizing Xu Qing's spell.

The Chaotian Temple Master was not surprised at all.

This is the Dynasty Destiny surrounding Prince Yu.

In the past, this Destiny protected him from being harmed by Dao Skills.

Now, it has become a hindrance to the effectiveness of the Soul Summoning Spell.

So Xu Qing had to find a way to break through this layer of hindrance.

Earlier, when he absorbed the poison from Prince Yu, he used Martial Arts techniques, and hence was not affected.

But Xu Qing seemed to ignore this hindrance.

He continually moved around Prince Yu, and gradually, everyone witnessed an incredibly shocking scene.

Beside Prince Yu, a shadow emerged.

Gradually, this shadow became substantial and took on the appearance of Prince Yu, though it lacked vitality, like a soulless statue.

Xu Qing's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

To cast Heavenly Demon Technique's Heavenly Demon Transformation under the interference of Dynasty Destiny, the difficulty is very high.

This is not a question of power, but a significant test of Xu Qing's micro-control skills.

It's like carving an Examination essay on a grain of rice with a giant axe.

The challenge is not in the content of the article.

No one knows how long it lasted.

The transforming shadow of Prince Yu became more and more lifelike, as if alive.

Next to Xu Qing floated two treasures.

Dusk Drum and Dawn Bell.

The Dawn Bell was taken from the Snowfield Living Buddha during the Fengling Ferry battle by the Yellow River.

The Dusk Drum was also taken from the Snowfield Living Buddha.

But ultimately, it was the Black Mountain Demon who "intentionally" did it.

Xu Qing did not shy away from using them just because he had concerns about the demon.

In the Heavenly Demon Skill, all things can be utilized.
