Chapter 655 - 755: What Now?
At this moment, everyone was looking grimly at the Five-Colored Divine Bird, waiting for the result from Tian Chu Zhenren.
Ye Tianfan also descended and then stood by Tian Chu Zhenren's side. Tian Chu Zhenren turned his head and, upon seeing it was Ye Tianfan, turned his head again to look at the Five-Colored Divine Bird lying in a pool of blood.
Ye Tianfan softly asked Tian Chu Zhenren, "Master, why do I feel something strange? This Five-Colored Divine Bird's eyes are clearly very bright, but why is its body unable to move? Also, there are no obvious penetrating wounds on its body. Could it have been poisoned?"
Tian Chu Zhenren looked at Ye Tianfan with some curiosity. He did not expect his apprentice to know a bit of medical skills, so he patiently explained, "The reason why this Five-Colored Divine Bird cannot move is because it has used all its strength to suppress the seal of the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon. That's why its body cannot move. If it were severely injured, comatose, or critically endangered, then even though the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon could not easily break the current seal, its aura would leak out wildly. Although the Five-Colored Divine Bird looks severely injured now, it has not been fundamentally harmed. Otherwise, you should be able to feel a pervasive oppressive aura."
"I see." Ye Tianfan nodded after hearing this. He then focused his attention on Tian Chu Zhenren examining the Five-Colored Divine Bird.
After a short while, everyone saw Tian Chu Zhenren breathe a sigh of relief and then stand up.
Everyone, seeing Tian Chu Zhenren's expression, knew that the Five-Colored Divine Bird was not in any major trouble, otherwise Tian Chu Zhenren would not have breathed a sigh of relief.
"How is it? What's his condition?" Taichu Sect Leader walked forward and asked after seeing Tian Chu Zhenren stand up. Although he could tell from Tian Chu Zhenren's expression that the Five-Colored Divine Bird was not in serious trouble, he still needed Tian Chu Zhenren to personally confirm its condition.
"The injuries are not serious, although quite severe, they can be healed. But next, besides healing and suppressing the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon, it cannot act again. Its current injuries won't allow it. If it acts again, it might not be able to suppress the seal of the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon within the next twenty years. By then, the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon's seal might cause its aura to leak, and our Taichu Sect will face a greatly increased risk of inner demons, and he will also control many people to impact his seal," Tian Chu Zhenren said solemnly.
Taichu Sect Leader's face turned ugly upon hearing this result. He did not expect it would come to this. That organization was able to limit and disable their Taichu Sect's greatest weapon with only a small number of people, and this Five-Colored Divine Bird, which hadn't acted in five hundred years, how did that organization even know it existed?
Not only did Taichu Sect Leader's face darken upon hearing the news, but all the heads present also looked grim. After all, given the current situation, the Five-Colored Divine Bird was their last hope against that organization. They did not expect that after five hundred years of progress, the organization's people had developed such a sickening ability. Five hundred years ago, they died from fatal injuries like ordinary people, unlike now, where no matter the injury, they can easily heal.
Even if you extinguish them, they still revive nearby. Just this ability caused a large number of deaths among the disciples supporting Taichu Peak because no one knew they had such an ability.
After settling the Five-Colored Divine Bird, everyone returned to the Taichu Hall to discuss what they should do next because their last hope was gone. If they continued using the Five-Colored Divine Bird, it would cause even greater trouble. Comparing the dangers of the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon and that organization, the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon is a much greater threat. The organization might want to destroy these so-called cultivators, but the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon wants to destroy the entire world.
But if they leave that organization to develop because of the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon's presence, it will still cause significant harm. Moreover, the organization's danger level isn't much lower than that of the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon.
Who knows if, once the organization eliminates these cultivators, they won't turn their blade towards ordinary civilians. Without the protection of these cultivators, the common people have no resistance, like pigs and sheep with lambs, left to slaughter.
"Since they know we in the Taichu Sect have this Five-Colored Divine Bird, they should also know Shanmian has an Evil Daffodil. If they can temporarily disable our Five-Colored Divine Bird, they should also have a way to deal with that Evil Daffodil," Taichu Sect Leader said solemnly.
Everyone looked at each other upon hearing this, immediately feeling Shanmian was in danger, and quickly said to Taichu Sect Leader, "Sect Leader Senior Brother, we must contact Shanmian immediately to inform them that their Evil Daffodil has very likely been targeted by those organization people."
Taichu Sect Leader said, "On the way here, I already secretly sent this message to Shanmian's Sect Leader, Fu Yu Zhenren, so you need not worry. What we need to focus on is why they are doing this."
"Perhaps I know what they're after," Tian Chu Zhenren suddenly stood up and said.
After hearing Tian Chu Zhenren, everyone looked at him and asked, "What might it be for?"
"There is a connection among them because whether it is the Five-Colored Divine Bird or the Evil Daffodil, they share a common trait, which is purification," Tian Chu Zhenren said word by word. "This Power of Purification, I think, poses a deadly threat to that organization because no other power is effective, but only this Power of Purification can completely extinguish them. So they want to eliminate this power in advance."
Everyone suddenly became enlightened after hearing Tian Chu Zhenren's words. It seems the organization, despite having developed such a sickening ability, indeed has weaknesses and vulnerabilities, and this ability's vulnerability is the Power of Purification. Only the Power of Purification can cleanse the ability from the organization's individuals.
Perhaps the material needed for their ability is directly countered by the Power of Purification.
