Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 171: Blackwater City Changes

"Teacher, what exactly is sealed under that well? This kind of power can actually suppress the spiritual power in my body!"

After hearing Ye Qi's doubts, Mu Lao did not respond for a long time, until Ye Qi used the purifying power of the Water Spirit Pearl to completely remove the filth in front of him. Then Mu Lao realized that Ye Qi had unknowingly possessed the means to fight against this power. Although possessing this power means having the responsibility to protect the world, the owner of the power did not protect his own power. If the existence of the Water Spirit Pearl was exposed too early, it would inevitably cause a bloody storm!

"With your current strength, it's better not to know too much. After this matter is over, don't easily reveal the power of your Water Spirit Pearl to the world, otherwise, you will be doomed!" Old Mu said in a serious tone.

"Teacher! Is it as scary as you say? Although I haven't reached the second level of the technique yet, I'm no weaker than a strong man in the foundation-building stage!" Ye Qi said with a nonchalant look, smiling and showing off.

"You little brat, the Foundation Establishment Stage is nothing. Even the Golden Core Stage can't be considered as truly stepping onto the path of immortal cultivation! Don't overthink it now. Improve your strength first before you dream of being a savior hero!"

Ye Qi smiled awkwardly after hearing what Mr. Mu said, not knowing how to defend himself. Although there are always people better than you, he had never seen anyone who had truly embarked on the path of cultivating immortals as Mr. Mu mentioned before, even though he had been wandering around for so long.

But there was no time to delay, so he walked to the door of the general's mansion while talking. The strange atmosphere here was obviously stronger than outside. He didn't know whether the senior could hold on, so he immediately jumped down at the entrance!

Just after Ye Qi pushed open the stone door, he saw the red-haired man sitting there quietly, but he was emitting a strange aura. Perhaps this was the result of suppressing that power with his physical body.

Ye Qi walked forward and tentatively called out, "Senior?"

Unexpectedly, the red-haired man did not react at all, as if he had been sitting in meditation for a long time, without even a breath. Ye Qi slowly walked towards him, then reached out to push away the red hair covering his face. A pair of scarlet blood eyes suddenly opened, frightening Ye Qi so much that he staggered and fell to the ground, then crawled a few steps before standing up!

"Boy! You're here to ruin my plans again! You're so annoying!"

Suddenly, an extremely ferocious voice came out of the red-haired man's mouth, and Ye Qi was so frightened that he took half a step back unconsciously. But just when he was feeling afraid, he suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip.

My senior was so righteous that he suppressed the evil monster with his physical body, but I failed to arrive as promised. How can I escape now?

Suddenly, Mu Lao's laughter floated into Ye Qi's ears, and he teased: "Boy! Are you scared now?"

Ye Qi was so nervous at the moment that he didn't care about Mu Lao's teasing and asked hurriedly: "Teacher! I can't beat him, what should I do!"

"You are no match for it right now, so use my power to purify the strange aura in his body!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely powerful spiritual force slowly surged into Ye Qi's meridians. This force was unprecedentedly strong, much stronger than anything Mu Lao had ever exerted before. Shocked, Ye Qi exclaimed, "Teacher! Has your strength recovered?"

"But if we can recover even one-tenth or one-twelfth of it, it will be enough to take care of it!"

Feeling the powerful force in his body, Ye Qi's face, which was originally solemn with a hint of fear, also relaxed, and a purifying force slowly emerged on his palm!

"Junior is offended!"

As Ye Qi uttered a low voice and waved his arm, a purifying force enveloped the red-haired man. The red-haired man who was possessed by the strange power actually sat there motionless, and the black energy in his body was gradually consumed by the purifying force!

"Boy, you actually possess such a rare treasure as the Water Spirit Pearl. It's a pity that you are still too young. What awaits you next will be the endless pursuit of my Demon Prison!"

The red-haired man's sinister laugh echoed in the space at the bottom of the well. As the black fog dissipated, the sound gradually weakened until it finally disappeared completely, and everything returned to calm!

"Boy! You broke your promise!"

"senior!"

Ye Qi scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and felt embarrassed. Speaking of breaking his promise, he really had forgotten about it completely when he was in the trial ground. It was indeed a bit wrong to bring it up now!

"But I'm a little surprised that you were able to gain the recognition of the Water Spirit Pearl. Boy Mu, your apprentice is not bad, but he's a little too weak. Next time, there won't be any more evil demons in the Devil Prison waiting for him to purify them!"

As the red-haired man spoke, his figure gradually became illusory, and finally disappeared completely from Ye Qi's sight, as if he had never appeared!

"Teacher...Senior..."

"He's right. Luckily, you have his last bit of consciousness to help you this time. Otherwise, even with my power, you would have gone through a lot of trouble!"

When Mr. Mu saw the red-haired man disappear, he felt a little sad. He wondered if there would be anyone in this world a thousand years later who could call him, a thousand-year-old old man, "boy". Although he survived, this world had long been incompatible with him, and it was difficult to find someone who could move his heart!

"Let's go! If a general-level demon dissipates here, the energy traces will be noticed by the powerful beings in the Demon Prison. Let's leave first!"

Just after Ye Qi left, an extremely hidden aura also dissipated, and no one knew where it went!

"Ye Qi!"

Just as Ye Qi stepped out of the door of the general's mansion, a woman in purple suddenly flew down from the top of the door and walked to Ye Qi's side.

After noticing the unusual change in the visitor, Ye Qi looked at Mu Qingyao in surprise and said, "You..."

Being stared at by Ye Qi, Mu Qingyao suddenly showed a shy look on her face. She said uncomfortably, "What's wrong? It's not like I haven't seen it before. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Ye Qi didn't say anything else, but slowly raised his arm, placed his palm on her cheek, and gently wiped the skin around her eyes, as if he was confirming something. However, this action did make Mu Qingyao's ears feel hot!

"Is my face dirty?"

"No...it's just...until you find the Frozen Heart and completely resolve your physical abnormalities, you'd better not improve your cultivation anymore!"
