Chapter 317: One Hundred Thousand Merit Points! Azure-Silver Needles! Divine Sand! Soul-Summoning Bell! Immortal Grace!
The Xinyi Dao, the troublemakers of Feiyun Prefecture, were scheming something major within this desolate tomb and yellowed scroll.
They offered the brilliant precious treasure, the Firefly Fruit, as payment, summoning the Twenty-Four Heretics of Feiyun Prefecture to lend their hands.
Just moments ago, these demons and monsters were plotting to capture Lu Li alive, strike directly at the enemy’s stronghold[1] to kill the innate eccentric Grand Marshal Lu, and then rush to the soon-to-emerge Jade Altar Blissful Land to seize their chance at fate.
Now, all of that had turned to nothing! The Xinyi Dao’s guardians, the Twenty-Four Heretics of Feiyun Prefecture, had all perished.
Even the sect master of the Xinyi Dao, Daoist Bichen, who had feigned death to return to life and secretly refined his terrifying, monstrous body, had been utterly destroyed.
This was the truth, as the saying went, “For every foot the demon chi, the Dao rises ten zhang[2].”
“Heaven and Earth in their natural state, foul qi disperse; cut down demons, bind evil, ferry the multitude; ill-omen scatter, Daoist qi endure. Swiftly, in accordance with the command!!”
After Li Yanchu recited the Purifying Heaven and Earth Mantra, a wave of clear, rising energy radiated outward from him. Corpse qi, demonic qi, ghost qi, and monster qi dissipated.
Otherwise, after slaying the monstrous flesh creature and the six-armed Great Demon God, the lingering evil qi could easily give birth to strange phenomena. Even the birth of a single corpse-spirit or malevolent ghost could have claimed countless lives.
Once everything was resolved, Li Yanchu finally rose, preparing to continue his journey. Meanwhile, Daoist Zhao Youwei expressed a desire to accompany him.
Li Yanchu considered briefly, then took him along, as well as the bewitched scholar Cao Xing. As for Lady Yun, there was no question; she flew straight back into the Dragon-Tiger Scepter.
Then, Blackie somehow appeared out of nowhere and rushed like a gale.
