Chapter 46 - 46
To resolve this issue, Luo Binghe employed a method of using human vessels to draw out the demonic energy. Every month on the full moon, he would seek out someone with strong spiritual energy and transfer the excess demonic energy from his own body out to them. In exchange, he would absorb the greater part of the other's spiritual energy. Using this method, he would naturally be able to maintain equilibrium.
However, because Luo Binghe's demonic energy was excessively overbearing1, the human vessel would be crippled after the energy transfer. Basically, each human extraction vessel could only be used once.
Luo Binghe certainly wouldn't do the demanding work of catching human vessels himself. Without much persuasion, Sha Hualing was, of course, willing to store people in cages for him to pick from as he pleased. On the night of the full moon, Luo Binghe would only need to use the Xin Mo sword to cleave open a passage into the Demon Realm and grab a person to use.
The sad thing was, in the original work, Luo Binghe married three of her personally selected female priests from the Tian Yi Monastery after Sha Hualing went through all that trouble. As one can well imagine, Sha Hualing went mad with anger!
Shen Qingqiu asked, "Did you see anyone else when you were caught? Where were you held?"
Yang Yixuan shook his head. "After we entered the rift between the worlds, we were in the lair of that demon woman, Chi Yun cave. I was shut in a solitary cell and didn't see anyone else."
Shen Qingqiu tossed Liu Mingyan's sword tassel and said, "I think it wasn't you alone who was captured."
He thought a bit and decided it was best to go and take a look. In any case, tonight was not the full moon, not the time for the extraction. Luo Binghe was busy stirring up havoc and sowing dissension in the human realm, so he shouldn't come looking to meet with Sha Hualing.
Shen Qingqiu asked, "You're not scared she'll take off her clothes?"
Yang Yixuan said disdainfully, "I'm by no means scared. Besides, during this whole journey, she took them off dozens of times. It's not a rare occurrence anymore."
Shen Qingqiu turned, speechless. Turns out she shut you in a solitary cell so she could strip for you to see—this good fortune is unbelievable. Young man, if you continue along these lines, the male protagonist will absolutely put you to death. It's so worrying that this is indeed Liu Qingge's sole disciple!
