"How could this be?"
Yu Ci was shocked. The demonic calamity Hua Xifeng mentioned was nothing but the plague demon. However, this was strange. This place was on the outskirts of the Sword Immortal Secret Realm. When it came to the hardest hit area, it couldn't be compared to Patama. On Wuyingtian, these fellow sects are also intensively cultivating the authentic Qi method of Xuanmen and have natural resistance to evil spirits and heretics. How could they be so unbearable?
"Is it Panhuang Sect?"
"Not sure."
Hua Xifeng slowly sat on the ground, taking up the spot vacated during the previous rescue. It was precisely because he forcibly left his position that the Qi movement was disordered. Yu Ci also knew the opportunity and put Ge Hui and the others into the circle. In the circle, he felt that layers of deep sound waves were transmitted from the direction of Hua Xifeng and others. It felt like a stream washing in his ears, flowing through his heart, and it had the effect of dispelling evil spirits.
In fact, Yu Ci worked so hard to come to Donghou’s Tomb to deal with Panhuang’s Three Swords and disrupt the control center of the plague demon. Time is very tight now, but when he sees these fellow disciples who have become enlightened, he can't just stand back and leave, no matter how big the reason is.
Some of these fellow disciples have been deeply affected by their spiritual souls, especially those who have not yet reached the realm of spiritual connection. As for those who are in the Huandan realm, the situation is much better. Those with shallow symptoms can already respond to the peripheral chanting sounds, regulate their Qi, and clarify their souls.
But there is an exception, and that is Zhang Yan. This person's symptoms are more serious than those of his fellow disciples whose cultivation levels are far below him. Yu Ci noticed it as soon as he entered the door, and stayed beside him to observe carefully.
After a while, Yu Ci said hello to Huaxi Peak outside and released the Tianhe Praying Mantra. This talisman has the effect of strengthening the body and dispelling evil. More importantly, Zhang Yan is relatively familiar with this talisman and has little resistance to it instinctively.
This only slightly stabilized the situation. Yu Ci was also decisive, and then he gritted his teeth and used the soul-breaking divine light of Wushengjie Star. This time it was more detailed than when dealing with Ge Hui and the others. The starlight, which had powerful lethality, was crushed into fine sand by Yu Ci and penetrated into his brain.
At this time, in addition to Huaxi Peak, several other figures who presided over the "Tiandu Dharma Altar" also reacted. Fatty Li, for example, even bared his teeth in a smile, but Yu Ci found it difficult to respond.
Although the damage has been minimized, because Zhang Yan is too entangled with the plague demon's poison, it is inevitable that the good and bad will be scraped off, and the damage to the soul will be greater than that of Ge Hui and the others. What's even more terrible is that Zhang Yan's own desire for survival does not seem to be strong, and he even has a tendency to assimilate with the evil intentions of the devil.
"Are you kidding? Is this the purpose of learning swordsmanship from me?" Yu Ci was really annoyed. The most annoying thing in his life was the so-called "death desire", and he fought for life and death with this kind of mentality. There is no difference between a slim chance and death!
Now, Zhang Yan is obviously sliding into the abyss with this idea in mind.
I clearly told you...
In the void in my heart, the talisman of life and death is rolling endlessly, evolving the true meaning between life and death every moment. Yu Ci thought that was the simplest thing, but he also knew how difficult it would be to make others understand.
Especially for people like Zhang Yan, whose psychology is a little... abnormal.
With Zhang Yan's cultivation level, to have fallen into this situation can only mean that there is a huge flaw in his heart, and the plague demon took advantage of it. No matter how confused you are, "death" is the stupidest answer!
Yu Ci is very self-aware. He knows that he cannot make up for Zhang Yan's flaws, but he hopes to help him cross the threshold of life and death. In the void in his heart, the life and death talisman was operating as usual, but when the soul-shattering divine light of the Infinite Tribulation Stars was shining down, the original talisman also took the opportunity to act on Zhang Yan's mind.
The talisman does not have power, it is just a projection and a demonstration. Zhang Yan trembled slightly. Yu Ci felt that he should have been touched, but what would happen next was beyond Yu Ci's control.
Putting aside Zhang Yan's side for the time being, Yu Ci treated others. Now that he was more familiar with the road, Hua Xifeng praised: "The Shangqing Sect's talisman learning is indeed unpredictable."
After a pause, he continued: "The Tiandu Dharma Altar is supplemented by the feathered Tianyin, but the effect is too slow. With the help of Junior Brother Yu, the situation will be much better."
Yu Ci smiled slightly and said nothing. The induction is always two-way. Yu Ci projected the symbol of life and death into Zhang Yan's soul, and at the same time captured some fragments of Zhang Yan's memory. Don't worry about those. Just look at the ones he had in Donghou's tomb. Yu Ci found something strange:
"Were you not here when the accident happened?"
"In the Great Sun Palace." Hua Xifeng replied.
"The Great Sun Palace?" Yu Ci did not ask the fellow disciples present, but asked the evil guest who felt empty in his heart, "Is there any problem there?"
Xuanhuang did not answer and seemed to be pondering.
At this moment, Hua Xifeng said in a deep voice: "Panhuang's Three Swords have gone to the Great Sun Palace."
"Huh?"
Everyone was shocked. Huaxi Peak has the "Great Law of Sympathy between Heaven and Earth", which can trace the breath of monks. Within a thousand miles, there will be nothing wrong. People must trust his judgment.
Just listen to Hua Xifeng say: "They have not left. They stopped in the mausoleum for a while, and now they are starting to come this way. The angle is a bit off. They should undoubtedly be going to the Great Sun Palace."
"There are restrictions in the tomb..."
"They are walking in a straight line!"
Hua Xifeng waved to the small lake outside the window, and the lake sprayed out a water mirror, which reflected many scenes, all in the tomb of Donghou. This is not his magical power, but has been arranged for a long time, which shows that the Lichen Sect has tight control over this place.
However, at this time, the scene in the water mirror was not clear. While it was rapidly changing, there was still a layer of gray-black smoke covering it, which seemed to be on fire. All the monks in the room knew that it was Panhuang's three swords.
"It is indeed the devil fire."
Xuanhuang also shouted in the void in his heart: "Panhuang Sect is obviously the legal system passed down by that thief, but most of his cultivation is that of the Demon Sect. There must be something wrong."
The Heavenly Demon Fire is not a specific type of fire, but a general name for a series of Demonic Fire Techniques. If it can be named "The Heavenly Demon", it is an uncompromisingly orthodox inheritance. No wonder Xuanhuang screamed suspiciously.
"Go to the main hall!" Hua Xifeng made a decision, and no one doubted this decision.
The Donghou Tomb is the Lichen Sect’s best interest in the Sword Garden. No matter who it is, it is impossible to allow it to be damaged. This is the first priority. Fortunately, Yu Ci had helped before. Now the situation of the monks who were infected by the plague demon seeds has mostly stabilized, and Huaxi Peak can calmly manage.
He left the most stable Zhao Fu to take care of the injured, while the others left the garden and headed towards the main hall.
Soon a group of five people arrived outside the Great Sun Hall. The whole body of this hall is made of copper. The material is ordinary, that is, it is only three feet high. It is not spectacular. However, any ordinary object will become extraordinary if it bears the legacy of a senior who has cultivated the Great Tribulation Dharma.
Think about Donghou, who is almost the first person below the two sword immortals in the Sword Garden. He has always been famous for his clear analysis of sword principles and understanding of hundreds of schools. Since the Great Sun Palace is the place where Donghou became ascensed, there are naturally many supernatural beings. place. Among them, the most important thing for the sect is the ray of Zhizheng Sword Intent that remains in the palace. Over the long years, the Sword Intent has been integrated with the main hall. It is usually not visible, but once someone who has cultivated the Sword Intent enters, the Sword Intent will be revealed. If you do it enough, you will trigger this ray of righteous sword intention, practice with it, and even understand the principles of swordsmanship, if you have divine help.
It is precisely by relying on this method that the Lichen Sect has been able to obtain no less than ten high-grade sword tactics from the Donghou Tomb in recent years, and several of the sect's own sword tactics have also been perfected here.
Yu Ci thought of some of the information he had learned before coming here: "The elders in the sect said that the sword intention in the Great Sun Palace may contain the Donghou's wonderful understanding of the gods in the realm of calamity. Unfortunately, over the years, , the disciples of the sect who entered the Sword Garden were all limited to the realm of returning elixirs. They were separated by many layers of obstacles, just like a summer insect cannot see the ice and snow. They could not understand many of the magical functions of the sword. It was not until many years later that the realm was reached. Recalling the experience of that year, I gained something again. It is a great opportunity that can benefit me for a lifetime... I wonder if it is better than the Donghou Sword Intent I got in Wuyingtian?"
Because of gratitude for Donghou's kindness, every time he came to Donghou's tomb, the disciples of the sect would perform sacrifices in the main hall and express their gratitude as masters. But this time, something happened just when the monks were worshiping.
Li Hong was quick with his words and outlined the situation at that time in just a few words: "...the vitality in the palace was shaking, the space was unstable, and the poisonous species of the 'Epidemic Demon' you mentioned rushed down like a waterfall. We were caught off guard. If the sword intent in the palace hadn't been activated automatically and killed most of them, we might not have been able to save them in time."
"Xuanhuang, what's going on?" Yu Ci heard that it involved the hierarchical arrangement of the secret space. Of course, it was fastest to ask Xuanhuang.
"How do I know? Donghou has a good mind and is the least harmed by the demonic calamity. He is the longest-lived person among all the people except Master Wujie. He was still alive when Master Wujie created the secret realm. , it’s just unknown... Wait, I understand!”
"What?"
"There is a shortcut here! When the secret realm took shape, Donghou was still there, and there is a portal to the secret realm here! Although it was sealed later, it is no longer one with the ban..."
Xuanhuang said half of what he said, the atmosphere above the main hall was shaking, and a dark yellow flame came out of the void. When it was swept into the sky, it caused the sky above the Copper Palace to distort violently. The figures of Panhuang's three swords were also behind the flames. Can't see clearly.
Yu Ci stared at the distorted light and shadow in mid-air, and asked in his heart: "Where does it lead to the secret realm...?"
"Nature is the core of Guixu!"
"Your mother!"
"You are a talented girl!" I want to attack the east and west, condense into a magic fire that can burn through the space, and rush directly from Donghou..."
There was silence in the void in my heart, and then Xuanhuang roared:
"Stop him!"
