The Evil Emperor's Beloved

Chapter 102 Dark Spiritual Roots

"What's wrong with that guy? Why is there black energy on his arm?"

"I don't know. They won't use poison, will they? This is against the rules!"

"It should be the knife in the hand of the black-clothed boy who caused it. What is the boy's name?"

"I know, he is from Dongling Country, and his name seems to be Baili Qing."

...

“If I’m not mistaken, this child should have the dark spiritual root among the mutated spiritual roots.” said an elder at the elders’ seat.

"Yes, although the man named Li Luo on the opposite side was injured by the magic weapon in his hand, without the blessing of his dark spiritual power, this sword cannot exert such power."

"That knife..."

"Soul-devouring Sword!" At this time, a voice came from behind the elders' seats.

The elders all turned around.

The person who spoke was none other than Ouyang Rui.

"Hey, stop looking at me like that! I was there at the time, so I understand it better..." Ouyang Rui coughed awkwardly a few times.

At this time, no one's words were as useful and authentic as his. Although he usually looked out of tune, he still had a certain authority because he was the grandson of the president of Yunhai College.

"Ouyang boy, tell me what's going on!"

These elders did not go to the Treasure Pavilion auction, so they knew nothing about the Soul-Devouring Sword.

So, Ouyang Rui described in vivid detail how the Treasure Pavilion auctioned off the Soul-Devouring Sword and how their Dongling Kingdom was determined to get the sword. He recounted everything in detail. The only thing missing was to give him a gavel and a cup of tea. He was truly a storyteller.

Feng Xuanyi and Jing Wenhao, who were standing beside him, twitched their lips when they heard this.

Ouyang Rui was afraid that they would not believe him, so he directly pulled the fourth elder to the side. When he got to the exciting part, he turned around and said to the old man, "I am right."

The Fourth Elder was also fooled by this guy. He had no choice but to nod his head. There was nothing he could do since the person who was injured on the competition stage was his beloved disciple.

The Nangong family has a tradition of protecting their own people.

After listening to this, the elders nodded frequently, and they understood the whole story.

“But... although... according to Rui, this knife doesn’t have the power to devour souls, but if the person using it has a weak will, it is still a potential threat.” One of the elders expressed the thoughts of all the elders.

"So, we have to keep a close eye on him. If anything happens to him, at least we can control it. Otherwise, even if we have a way, it will be out of our reach!"

"Yes, yes!" the elders echoed.

"Oh, this Treasure Pavilion has caused us a lot of trouble." Someone sighed.

"Who says it's not? Alas!"

The elders in the seat sighed.

"It is necessary for Dongling Country to conduct a thorough investigation to see if this dark spiritual root is an isolated case, or if there are other reasons."

"The cultivation of the dark attribute cannot be achieved overnight."

"Yes, how could I forget such an important step."

"It seems that it is necessary to investigate it carefully!"

"Hmph! It's better not for us to discover anything..." said an elder unhappily.

The Emperor of Dongling Kingdom probably doesn’t know yet, but because of a soul-devouring sword, the elders of the three major academies have triggered an investigation into the entire country.

Otherwise, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood. If I had known earlier, I would not have displayed this rare mutated spiritual root so high-profile.

The reason why the elders are so wary of the dark spiritual roots is because of how powerful the dark spiritual roots are.

The power of the dark spiritual root lies in its strength and attributes, the dark attribute of the dark spiritual root.

The cultivation of dark attributes requires the absorption of resentment. If a cultivator indulges in it for a time, he will be affected and eroded by it if his will is not firm. It is inevitable that he will maliciously create resentment in order to satisfy his own cultivation.

By then, one wrong step will lead to another, and in the end, there will be no turning back, causing damage to your spiritual heart.

If we don’t talk about cultivation anymore, we may end up going astray, and that would be terrifying.

The dark attribute coupled with powerful dark spells will produce an effect that no one wants to see. What is presented before us is just the tip of the iceberg, yet it has caused such a big reaction.

Therefore, Tao heart is always much more important than talent.

After finishing the topic, the elders turned their attention to Baili Qing on the competition stage.

At this time, Ouyang Rui dropped another bomb that was not a bomb. He said, "Bai Li Qing has a sister named Bai Li Xue, who is in Yunhai College and is currently under the tutelage of the Fifth Elder."

The three elders from Yunhai College who came this time instantly understood what he meant. They looked at each other and understood what he meant in each other's eyes.

You can start by checking this person called Baili Xue.

Ouyang Rui saw the reactions of the elders and raised his lips. He asked you to hurt Junior Sister. Humph!

Feng Xuanyi and Jing Wenhao both gave him a thumbs up.

This guy is as proud as a peacock, showing off endlessly, and he even wants to put his feet on the forehead of the elder in front of him.

Li Luo quickly took out a pill from his storage bag and put it into his mouth to replenish his constantly losing spiritual energy, but the effect was not significant.

The only thing we can do is to end the competition as soon as possible.

Li Luo poured the entire bottle of pills into his mouth, threw away the jade bottle, and used his spiritual power to attack Baili Qing.

He used his footwork to the extreme and slashed at the Soul-Devouring Sword in Baili Qing's hand with his sword.

Li Luo used all of his spiritual power in this sword strike, and Baili Qing's hand holding the Soul-Devouring Sword was numb from the shock.

Finally, there was a slight change in his eyes, but he quickly returned to calm.

This tiny change did not escape Li Luo's eyes at all. He knew that the full-strength attack just now had stimulated Baili Qing, who seemed calm.

It seemed that this trick was effective, so Li Luo launched three consecutive fierce attacks, targeting the Soul-Devouring Sword.

Li Luo's speed was very fast. Baili Qing found that the person was in front of him just now, but in an instant he was behind him. He failed to catch him several times.

All that was left by his side was Li Luo's afterimage.

"Great, Li Luo!" Li Xue stood up from Si Mowen's legs, clenched her fists and said viciously.

Jing Yueli pursed her lips.

Li Luo's attack seemed effective, but he couldn't win in one go. If he continued like this, his spiritual power would eventually be exhausted.

...

After a while,

"Cut the mountains and rivers with one sword!" The entire arena could hear Li Luo's powerful voice.

"What is this? .....What a powerful sword energy!"

The entire barrier trembled.

Seeing Li Luo like this, Li Xue and Li Feng turned to look at Jing Yueli.

Jing Yueli felt their gazes and raised the corners of her lips.

Sure enough, the products produced by Space must be high-quality!
