Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 30 Who is the Demon Sect?

Seeing Yun Yi hadn't caught up, the man in black hurriedly calmed his chaotic spiritual energy. He didn't know why, but every time the iron piece in the man's hand hit him, his spiritual energy would become turbulent.

It was like a huge rock hitting a calm pond, immediately causing countless ripples.

This was one of the benefits of a solid realm. Yun Yi had trained his body, mind, and spirit on the Stone Steps, and his early Qi Refining stage was quite solid. Furthermore, the Fangyuan Sword possessed immense power, being no ordinary item. Upon collision with the enemy, it would naturally lead to their defeat.

The man in black hesitated for a moment before saying leisurely, "The spiritual treasures of heaven and earth are meant for the virtuous and the capable. I need the veins of this place to aid my cultivation. If you want it, then take it. Any problem?"

Yun Yi sneered and said, "Very good, it's mine now. Either get out or die."

"Taking advantage of your power to bully others, what a Fuyao Sect!"

"Why, you're only allowed to be in the position of someone with ability, but not someone like me who is virtuous? Double standards are not a good habit."

The man in black covered his face with a cloak, so his expression could not be seen, but he moved his toes slightly, obviously having the intention of retreating.

The next moment, he threw something to the ground, and suddenly a black wind blew up on the spot, and the figure inside quickly fled out.

Seeing this, Xun Ziyu wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Yun Yi.

Yun Yi said, "Purify the spring immediately. His purpose is to pollute this land vein. He will definitely come back."

Xun Ziyu nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Then he immediately activated the purification array at the spring, and complicated golden talismans lit up, actually transforming the diseased air gushing out of the spring into pure spiritual energy.

At the same time, Yun Yi did not relax, but held the Fangyuan Sword to block behind Xun Ziyu. He had practiced in the Demon Sect in his previous life and was familiar with the style of the people in the Demon Sect.

Each of them is a sinister and vicious character. Since the man in black is guarding the spring, it means that there is something here that he cannot let go of.

He had just taken the initiative to show weakness and said that he occupied the spring for the purpose of practicing. In fact, it was a lie, which made Yun Yi mistakenly believe that he really only regarded the spring as an unnecessary place for practice.

Yun Yi didn't believe this at all. In his opinion, there must be something fishy going on as the spring was filled with diseased energy.

Therefore, the man in black must come back, or maybe he is hiding in the dark and watching us now.

Facts have proved that Yun Yi's prediction was correct. After Xun Ziyu dispelled the disease, the spring finally revealed its true appearance.

Hidden inside was a shriveled finger, dark brown in color, with black nails, and emitting a sickly green aura.

Xun Ziyu was surprised and said, "Is this... a human finger?"

Yun Yi had never seen this thing before and speculated, "It should be the culprit affecting the earth veins."

"The cultivation level on this finger is terrifying. The owner of this finger is probably from a prominent family."

"Indeed, even a piece of his body after death can pollute the earth veins. It is clear that he was also a poisonous creature when he was alive."

Xun Ziyu said: "We must take this thing back to Fuyao Sect and hand it over to Master for disposal."

Yun Yi said softly, "The problem is how to get it. We'd better not touch it rashly. I guess the man in black is nearby, waiting for us to be poisoned by mistake, and then he will attack again."

In fact, the Sumeru Ring can solve this problem, but Yun Yi doesn't want to reveal too much of his cards.

Fortunately, Xun Ziyu explained, "The Divine Messenger Pen has the function of storing spiritual objects, but it can only hold very small amounts. Usually, we place the materials used for spells in it."

Yun Yi was a little surprised after hearing this. It turned out that each sect of immortal cultivation had its own magical features. The magic pen that everyone in the Fuyao Sect's library had was actually a miniature Sumeru Ring. Not many people knew this secret.

"But this withered finger exudes a strange peculiarity. I'm worried that after the Divine Messenger Pen is installed with it, it will be affected by the disease and become unusable." Xun Ziyu said this in a clear voice. Yun Yi understood what he meant and said loudly, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, that weirdo has escaped. Let's just hurry back to the sect."

The conversation between the two people reached the ears of the man in black without missing a word.

After hearing this, he smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that only if the two of you join forces can I be defeated. If the one with higher cultivation level cannot use the magic pen, it would be like cutting off an arm.

Without the Divine Messenger Pen, what other mysterious methods can the disciples of the Book Pavilion use?
As for the Sword Pavilion disciple who used the large iron sheet, it would be enough to use the Sickness Spirit to tire him to death.

Thinking of this, he continued to peek and found that Xun Ziyu had already used the magic pen to put the dry finger into it. Then the white hair at the tip of the pen turned as black as ink, and cracks appeared faintly on the pen body.

"Humph, the corpse of Master Wandu cannot be contained by a mere Qi Refining Realm."

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the man in black immediately summoned countless sick spirits and returned to the valley in a mighty force, vowing to kill the two ignorant disciples of the Fuyao Sect on the spot and take back the treasure!
Sure enough, the two men looked frightened when they saw him.

"Haha, grandpa will grind you into ashes!"

Although the man in black had lost his two most powerful iron galls, he still had a blood-red scimitar magic weapon to use. Once he used the scimitar, it would fly out like a blood moon with extraordinary power!

Seeing Yun Yi hurriedly blocking the blood moon with a panicked look on his face, and the other Xun Ziyu with a bewildered look on his face, who could only cast spells with his bare hands to block the disease spirit, the man in black became more and more proud.

The man in black controlled the blood moon to knock Yun Yi off balance, thinking of killing him while he was weak. He immediately recalled the scimitar and held it in his hand. He gathered all his spiritual energy and rushed towards Yun Yi, ready to give him a fatal blow.

At this moment, Yun Yi said softly: "Do it."

Xun Ziyu replied, "Okay."

The man in black thought, could it be that these two people have another trump card?
But he was too late to withdraw his attack, so he could only console himself by thinking they were bluffing, and then continued to wield his scimitar with all his might. A hint of blood stained it, a sharp edge that seemed to be about to cleave the iron and tear Yun Yi apart.

As a "clang" sound resounded throughout the valley, countless sick spirits were blown away, and the spring water splashed as if it was raining lightly!
Yun Yi blocked with his sword, his eyes sharp, and saw that the blood moon was easily stopped by him, without even leaving a trace on the big iron sheet.

The man in black cursed angrily: "You are hiding your abilities!"

This time, Yun Yi didn't respond, but instead focused on performing the White Ape Sword Technique. He swung the square and circle sword, first holding it in his right hand and drawing a circle, then, when the sword's momentum was about to end, he switched to his left hand and drew another circle.

The Fangyuan Sword is extremely heavy. Once it is wielded with full strength, it is impossible to control it at all. At first, the sword moves with the person, but after a few swords, the person dances with the sword.

When the Monkey Sword Immortal performs swordsmanship, he can hold the sword with both hands and feet, and even his shoulders and knees can touch the hilt at the mysterious moment, guiding the sword to dance continuously.

Although Yun Yi was still far from such proficiency, his White Ape Swordsmanship, unleashed with all his might, was already showing its power. Streams of sword energy formed a faint, circular sword field, forcing the man in black to retreat repeatedly, fearing he would be drawn into it.

Someone at the early stage of Qi Refining Realm actually displayed the rudiments of Sword Domain?!

Who is this person?
The man in black thought that he could not fight him, so he might as well run away. By the time he finished using his sword skills, he would definitely not be able to defeat him, so he could then strike back.

Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. This time when he wanted to turn around and escape, he was stopped by an invisible wall.

Xun Ziyu took out a magic pen and muttered, "Prison!"

The man in black was furious, not understanding why the man still had a divine pen! Could it be that their conversation at the spring was meant for him?
What a vicious mind!

He couldn't retreat, as Yun Yi's sword array was closing in. The man in black could only chop down with all his might, his scimitar in hand, roaring furiously.

Before he died, he had only one question: who was the disciple of the Demon Sect who was behind such a vicious plot?
The sword energy in the sky dissipated, and Yun Yi stood there with his sword, panting, with a headless corpse in front of him.

He heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that the man in black was dead. Without their controller, the surrounding diseased spirits all transformed into diseased air that diffused into the air and were dispelled by Xun Ziyu's spell.
