I felt a little reassured, but also sad... It is precisely because of the evil energy within my body that I need the treatment of the Pure Fan bottle. However, using a barrier to block the power of the bottle, how can the evil energy within my body be purified? Furthermore, Qing Ling's barrier shouldn't be able to hold up much longer, right?
Qing Ling carried me to the first floor and set me down in an empty space. I raised my worries with him. Qing Ling shook her head as her gaze flickered. "You don't have to worry about that. You can just stay here and meditate, and work hard to purify the Evil Qi in your body …" "The power of the Pure Fa Li bottle is no longer as strong as it was in the past. My mana will be able to hold out for a while longer."
I was a little surprised. "The power of the Fa Jin bottle has been weakened?"
Qing Ling nodded and replied, "Yes. Didn't you notice?" Its radiance was no longer as bright as before, and its purifying ability was gradually weakening. Perhaps, it would no longer be able to suppress the demons in this tower like it used to. That's why my barrier can stay here for a relatively long period of time. "
It turned out that Qing Ling had been on the peak all this time to have a meeting with the immortal masters for the sake of this matter of Fan Jingjie. The Pure Fan bottle was an ancient sacred artifact, and the Evergreen Sect had been using it to purify the demons for hundreds of years. Recently, there were some elders who discovered that for some reason, the spiritual energy in the holy pagoda was no longer as strong as it was before, and the mana of the Pure Fan bottle seemed to be gradually decreasing. The elders were very worried about this, so they took the chance to ask the immortal masters of Heaven Realm for advice on how to strengthen the Fan Jing Bottle. As a result, Qing Ling would head to the Qi Yang Peak for meetings every day and discuss about it for the entire day …
"Then did you come up with a solution?" I asked.
Qing Ling shook his head. "The immortal masters have all visited this tower, but they haven't found the reason. However, he couldn't rule out the fact that there were too many monsters in the tower which resulted in the overflowing of the demonic energy … Recently, the world of demons had begun to recover. Many demons were stirred up, wanting to harm the human world. As a result, the number of demons that were sent back to the Holy Tower by the Demon Slaying Masters skyrocketed … It was probably because of this reason that the power of the Pure Vase bottle was inferior, right? However, Senior Brother Xuan Yue has already promised to return to the Heaven Realm to find another magical equipment. If the power of the Fa Li bottle is not enough and it was supported by other magical equipment, it might be able to maintain the same effect … "
I looked at the dark stone tower... This tower had a total of nine floors, and each floor had countless barriers, imprisoning all sorts of demons. Although all the demons and monsters were currently sleeping, who knew what kind of calamity these demons would cause if they were unable to suppress them one day? On the top of my head, there is a pure white bottle that is emitting a sacred light. In my eyes, it seems as though it is as bright as before …
I curiously asked, "There doesn't seem to be anything abnormal with the Fanjing Bottle!" Senior Master, how did you discover its power weakening? "
Qing Ling hesitated for a moment before replying softly, "Even though the matter with Xueji was settled, we continued to investigate in secret later on, because there are still many peculiarities involved …" Why did Qin Juan cultivate the Hundred Demon Imperial Body? Where did she get her book on witchcraft? Although Qin Juan had been inexperienced and inexperienced, she had grown up in the Evergreen Sect and knew that practicing evil arts was prohibited by the sect. Furthermore, it was extremely dangerous. Yet, she still did it! There must have been someone else who had bewitched her and induced her to fall into the wrong path! "Duanmu Rong had intruded into Xue Ji's thoughts before, so we are certain that the one who bewitched Qin Juan was not Xue Ji. That person could very well have come from within this tower!"
I was slightly surprised. "Qing Ling, you mean that the Holy Pagoda's power has already begun to weaken at that time? By that time, are there already monsters lurking in the Evergreen Sect? "
Qing Ling nodded: "Very likely! "Otherwise, with the usual might of Fan Jing's bottle, it would be impossible for Xue Ji to break out of the tower …"
The more I think about it, the more scared I am... Who could it be that was lurking in the Evergreen Sect? Could it be a monster that sneaked out of the tower? Since we cannot suppress the evil spirits, wouldn't it be very dangerous for us to stay in this tower?
Qing Ling patted me on the shoulder to comfort me before holding up a lamp to illuminate my surroundings. "You don't have to worry. With me here, I'll always protect you! "
That was reassuring. I nodded obediently, sat down with my back against the wall, and began to meditate.
Being infected by the demonic energy was very uncomfortable. I would feel nauseous from time to time, so I needed to rely on meditating to distract my attention.
After sitting with me for a while, Qing Ling took the lamp and patrolled around the tower.
Since he had the opportunity to enter the Holy Tower, as the hall master of the Evergreen Sect, he naturally had to check the situation within the tower. Especially the high-ranked Fiends at the top of the tower … Those demons had a number on them, and their magic was powerful. As long as they didn't awaken, even if a few little devils came out from the tower, it wouldn't cause too much trouble.
Listening to the hollow footsteps of Qing Ling, I gradually entered a meditative state … At this moment, the continuous stream of white light from the Pure Fan bottle suddenly disappeared! All around me was darkness, and a flickering red light floated toward me.
Inside the Holy Tower, a red light flashed, and then, a red shadow appeared in front of me!
His beautiful eyes were fixed on me, and his movements were so swift that I was caught off guard. I was shocked! At this moment, his expression is beautiful and sinister, as though he has come for a bad purpose. Moreover, following his movements, a light red transparent barrier gradually appeared where I was.
"Hong, Hong, what are you doing here?" I asked nervously, moving quietly to the side.
Red Shadow pursed his lips into a smile and replied: "I want you to call out a person's name."
"Name? Whose name? "
"The name of the man from last night. "Please call him again, in your most fervent and urgent voice, and again, call his name …"
My heart quivered... I was forced into a corner by him last night, and I was forced to call out the name of Xuan Yue! I knew he had a reason for forcing me like that. What did he want? Would using this evil technique be disadvantageous for Xuan Yue?
I stole a glance at the top of the Holy Tower... Damn it, the black mist has completely covered the barrier. I can't see Qing Ling, and even the white light from Fan Jie's bottle has disappeared! No, I have to run!
I giggled as I retreated to the edge of the boundary while secretly accumulating my demonic powers! When the demonic energy was full, he would immediately use all his strength to smash into the barrier!
In the end, with a bang, I bounced back!
Ah, what a powerful barrier!
I clutched at my forehead and helplessly fell to the ground as I cried out loudly for help, "Qing Ling, save me! "Help!"
The red shadow once again came over and covered my mouth. "That's not right, that's not the name you called out last night …" I need you to call out Xuan Yue's name again, understand? "
"You, what are you trying to do? Let me go, I will definitely not sell out Xuan Yue! "
The red shadow looked straight into my eyes. "Fall, soul!"
His eyes glowed red and shot at me like arrows! My head immediately became blurry and my heart couldn't help but tighten … Not good! He's bewitching me again!
I secretly bit the tip of my tongue. The sharp pain between my teeth made me more clear-headed, so I took this opportunity to struggle vigorously. At the same time, I loudly warned Qing Ling, "Qing Ling …"
A moment later, the barrier suddenly disappeared and the white light of the Pure Fan bottle descended upon the world once more!
"Evil spirit, show your true body …"
With a loud shout, Qing Ling rushed down from the top of the holy pagoda like a great peng! He held the Immortal sword in his hand, as if he had been waiting for this moment! At the same time, the heavy stone door at the entrance of the tower let out a low creaking sound. Let me take a look. Ah, so it's the five Great Elders of the Evergreen Sect!
