"In itself, I have already been particularly painful. The white mist pierces through my body, and it reminds me of the pain of being taken away by death!"
Choh Yoon's words left me in a state of shock.
Who am I?
I am me, aren't I?
Jiao Ying, what did you see!?
Ah……
My body suddenly felt two things. One was an extreme chill!
The coldness was the sensation of the earth's energy piercing through my body, signaling that something was about to appear!
Another was the feeling of yin energy flowing through my body, as if I was inside a coffin.
"Eight... Eight Seal..." I stammered out a few words.
Jiao Ying seemed to have realized something and quickly approached me to take out the Eight Seal Flag from my body!
A soft hiss!
The candles on the ground suddenly went out!
The sudden darkness made it impossible to see anything for a moment!
Even darker was a mist that seemed to be overflowing from my chest, enveloping Jiao Ying!
I widened my eyes and growled, "Be careful!"
Suddenly, Jiao Ying's body retreated backwards!
In the hissing sound, it seemed like bursts of yellow light were shooting out from behind her!
The darkness was driven away.
I saw clearly what was in front of me!
It wasn't Jiao Ying who retreated by herself. It was Mao Sanzui who pulled her back! Mao Sanzui's face was shocked and pale, and he wasn't just holding Jiao Ying with one hand; he was also rapidly shooting out talismans with the other hand.
The talismans clung to the walls all around!
In front of me, the earth's energy formed a hand that moved with extreme ferocity!
"What demon!?" Mao Sanzui's voice was shaking. The small bean-sized eyes of his were about to pop out of his sockets.
"Fucking... Pestilential Sores Demon!?" In the next second, Mao Sanzui swore.
"Halt... Stop!" My voice was hoarse, and I roared out.
I wanted to control the earth's energy!
On the sixth floor of the Siuhua District Mental Health Center, I achieved control and domination. I even summoned the Headless Woman and Nine Old Man! It was easy to deal with the Abominable Disease Demon.
But this time, the earth's energy was not at all under control.
Even giving me a sense that it seemed to have its own thoughts.
The black arm suddenly extended and reached out towards Mao Sanzui!
Mao Sanzui pushed Jiao Ying back to the corner of the wall behind him and then took a square compass from his waistband!
"Seal!" A deep roar erupted from Mao Sanzui's mouth!
The compass burst with a coppery glow! The needle whirred as it turned, almost shooting out from the center!
That evil arm suddenly stopped in front of Mao Sanzui, without moving an inch forward, and instead began to gradually dissolve!
I was overjoyed.
Mao Sanzui controlled the earth's energy!?
But the next second, I realized that I was too hasty in my joy!
A soft snap! The compass needle snapped!
The square compass burst into two pieces, and the circular compass popped out, landing heavily on the ground.
Even the copper had shattered into pieces.
The arm solidified instantly and reached towards Mao Sanzui's neck!
"Curse!" Mao Sanzui widened his eyes and swore again.
Following that, he took out something else again!
It was none other than the Six Seal Bright Mirror he had previously used to intimidate the group of Taoists from Four Seals Mountain!
The back was made of thunder-struck jujube wood, and the surface was smooth and shiny copper.
With a hiss and a snap, lightning arcs appeared on the thunder-struck jujube wood!
The entire mirror surface burst into a silver glow!
With a loud thud, the arm formed by the earth's energy shattered inch by inch!
In that moment, the coldness on my body dispersed and vanished.
Along with the dispersal of the coldness, the dark and oppressive yin energy that had weighed me down also dissipated.
I breathed heavily, feeling like I had returned to normal.
However, everything must be abnormal!
Mao Sanzui's arms trembled as he stared at me intensely, the emotions in his eyes flickering rapidly.
Surprise, anger, confusion, disbelief, and even a trace of confusion.
Sun Zhu is now barely alive. The previous scene was so terrifying that he didn't even open his eyes. It seemed as if he had been drained to death and left unconscious.
As for Jiao Ying, she shakily stood up from the corner of the wall.
She had somehow managed to get a knife out of nowhere. She raised it suddenly and plunged it towards Mao Sanzui's back!
I never expected Jiao Ying to suddenly attack Mao Sanzui!
In the next second, I realized the reason behind it!
Mao Sanzui saw the earth's energy!
Jiao Ying did not want the earth's energy to be exposed!
His eyes widened to an extreme degree, and the internal conflict in his heart was far stronger than any other time!
"Stop... Halt!" I croaked out, straining to take a step forward, but at that moment, my body felt surprisingly empty. With a thud, I collapsed to the ground.
Both hands supported themselves on the two candles, and the flame died out instantly, sending a sharp pain through my palms. However, I was unable to move my hands.
Jiao Ying's hand suddenly stopped at Mao Sanzui's back.
It was just an inch away from piercing through Mao Sanzui's body!
Mao Sanzui remained completely still, as if he had not noticed.
However, in that moment, Mao Sanzui's face turned even deeper, and his eyes were also the same!
Jiao Ying tremblingly lowered her hand. She retreated two steps, her eyes full of unease and confusion.
Mao Sanzui took out a tortoise shell.
He bit into the tip of his finger and drew several lines on the tortoise shell, forming a character.
He threw the tortoise shell, which landed in the midst of the group of human-like figures that resembled me and Sun Zhu.
The white mist contracted rapidly and was completely sucked into the tortoise shell.
Then, Mao Sanzui didn't look back at Jiao Ying but walked forward and picked up the tortoise shell.
His eyes were particularly deep as he looked at me and suddenly said, "Ten years ago, when the earth's energy surged out and absorbed the pestilential qi, it was you!"
My breathing was still heavy, and the panic that surged in my heart was incredibly strong.
Mao Sanzui only then glanced around.
He first swept his gaze over the talismans on the wall and said in a low voice, "It's been many years since I've used so many restraining talismans. But fortunately, the aura hasn't leaked out."
"He was drained of his life force and rendered unconscious. He has no senses, so he saw nothing." His gaze fell on Sun Zhu, and he continued.
Finally, Mao Sanzui looked at Jiao Ying.
"You this witch, your heart is ruthless enough."
"Old Mao, I helped Luo Xian for real. Did I stab him from behind with one knife and kill him with the next?"
"Your sister, however, is not so venomous."
Mao Sanzui said this with a face devoid of expression.
Jiao Ying clenched her lips tightly, her body trembling slightly, but she didn't know how to speak.
At this moment, the atmosphere became incredibly tense.
The attempt to drain the life force... it succeeded? But it also seems to have failed.
The life force of the yang spirit was successfully extracted from Sun Zhu's body, but it didn't remain on me.
In other words, in a few short seconds, it was forced out of my body by the other two life forces within me!
Even the earth's energy rebounded even more viciously, threatening to kill!
The most crucial thing was that Mao Sanzui had seen the earth's energy on me.
Old Qin had said that the earth's energy was a source of anger for both humans and immortals, and seeing it meant death!
My breathing became heavier, and I shakily lifted my body slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Let go of Jiao Ying. She doesn't want to kill you. She just wants to keep the secret."
Mao Sanzui didn't say anything. His gaze returned to me.
Taking two steps forward, Mao Sanzui picked up the tortoise shell from the ground, wiped it on his clothes, and then suddenly threw it at me.
After I caught the tortoise shell, I felt dazed and confused.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Is it to keep a secret that you can kill an unarmed, destitute old man who used up a lot of restraining talismans to protect your secret?"
"Young Luo Xian, you live too indifferent and pay too much attention to women."
"Old Mao, have I not treated you well? Why would I kill you?"
"Let me guess. Qin Weizi has told you about the terrifying nature of earth's energy, and the consequences of exposing it."
"However, I am not so hypocritical. You and I are good friends across generations, and you are also a business partner of mine. Why would I kill you?"
"You're the one who sold me a good body."
Mao Sanzui spoke in a rhythmical manner, but I was at a loss for words for a moment.
