The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Chapter 327 Return

Not long after, A Ling walked out of the mysterious space listlessly and dejectedly.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of several people present couldn't help but tighten, and an ominous premonition came to their minds: Is this hope going to be dashed again?

At this moment, the usually calm Xuanwu suddenly became anxious. It twisted its huge and thick snake body frantically, and let out bursts of hissing sounds from its mouth.

An extremely powerful aura gushed out from it, like a surging torrent, instantly sweeping across the entire world.

This is the terrifying pressure emitted by one of the four spirits - Xuanwu. It seems that even the surrounding air is frightened and solidified.

Seeing this, A Ling hurriedly walked forward, stretched out his hands and gently stroked Xuanwu's body, trying to calm it down.

He slowly began to explain to everyone, "Everyone, please be patient and listen to me. As the spiritual being of this space, all living beings here are naturally under my control. The pair of Tai Chi Yin-Yang snakes are no exception. I just went in to find them and explained the purpose of our visit. When they heard that they needed to absorb and neutralize the extremely cold and yin energy, they did show great interest at first. After all, doing so would bring them many benefits. However..."

Having said this, A Ling paused slightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"But what? Tell me quickly!" someone urged anxiously.

Ah Ling took a deep breath and continued, "However, that extremely cold and yin energy is the turbid energy that entangles the Suzaku Fire. Once this cold and yin energy is absorbed and neutralized, the unrestrained Suzaku Fire will undoubtedly increase in power, displaying unparalleled divine might. The Tai Chi Yin Yang Snakes simply cannot withstand the burning of such a powerful flame. That's why they hesitated and didn't dare to easily agree to help us."

Everyone's mood sank to the bottom again, as if they had fallen into an endless dark abyss. Despair surged into their hearts like a tide, suffocating them.

"This won't work, and that won't work! Are we just going to watch Suzaku's life being drained bit by bit by that damn black energy?" The Black Tortoise Snake was furious and roared madly again.

Its sound was like a thunderclap, making the eardrums of the people present buzz and their heads go blank.

However, aren’t what Xuanwu said the deepest fears and worries in everyone’s heart?

Amidst the vast expanse of red sand and gravel in the Gobi Desert, a towering stone mountain stood alone. A mysterious black aura, like a ferocious python, tightly coiled around the mountaintop, enveloping the faint flames and making the entire scene even more eerie and gloomy.

Looking at this scene, a deep despair involuntarily filled everyone's heart.

In a brief moment, Suzaku's condition seemed to have taken a turn for the worse. Its feathers, long tarnished, grew even duller; its once blazing flames now shrank to a dying state, as if ready to go out at any moment. A thick aura of death enveloped the entire stone mountain, chilling to the bone and making one shudder.

After going through so many hardships and twists and turns, is it possible that the final outcome that awaits them is to witness Suzaku's death?

Ru Yue was unwilling to believe this cruel fact no matter what.

But what should be done to save Suzaku from danger?

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, no one could think of an effective solution. All around them was dead silent, with only the whistling sound of the wind and sand echoing in their ears.

The Chibi Desert seems like a chaotic and uncultivated land. There is no light from the sun or the moon. Only the dim sky covers everything, making it difficult to tell whether it is morning or dusk.

Sometimes, the air seemed to stagnate and become solid, so heavy that it was almost impossible to breathe; sometimes, the air became as hot as fire, with blazing flames burning all around, making people feel as if they had fallen into an endless purgatory; sometimes, evil winds...

At that moment, without warning, a wicked, violent gale suddenly swept in. The wind howled, sending sand and rocks whirling and raging with fury. The frail Ru Yue and the slender A Ling had no time to react, not even a cry of surprise, before they were swept away by the powerful force, stumbling into the vast desert.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Xuanwu did not hesitate at all. He spun around suddenly, and a strong wind that covered the sky and the sun instantly surrounded him.

The air whirled and roared, forming an impenetrable wall of steel, tightly protecting Ru Yue and A Ling in the middle. The raging evil wind slammed into the strong wind, but it was like a drop in the ocean, instantly absorbed by its powerful force and dissipated without a trace.

Ah Ling, safe in his own area, cautiously peeked out through a gap in the gale. He saw dust and rocks flying outside Xuanwu. Ah Ling couldn't help but wonder, "I'm afraid Suzaku has been blown to dust by such a fierce wind, or perhaps swept away to who knows where, with no sign of him left."

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

After a long time, the wind finally died down and the sound of the wind disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, Ru Yue and A Ling seemed to have just experienced a journey of life and death and returned from the underworld.

Both of them were as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. Looking closely, their bodies were still shaking like grains in a sieve.

"Xuanwu...are you...are you okay?" Ru Yue asked with a trembling voice, full of concern and worry.

Only a loud and steady reply was heard: "Don't worry, young master! We have always been famous for our strong defense. How can such a small evil wind do anything to us?" Hearing this, Ru Yue's heart, which had been hanging high, finally settled down a little.

However, at this moment, an incredible idea suddenly flashed through Ah Ling's mind. Her eyes lit up, and she spoke eagerly, "Xuanwu, your defenses are the strongest. If you were to protect the Yin and Yang Snakes to absorb and neutralize the cold and yin energy, wouldn't that not only protect you from the cold energy, but also prevent the two snakes from being burned by the Suzaku Fire?"

These words flashed like a bolt of lightning across the night sky, instantly illuminating everyone's thoughts. Xuanwu, upon hearing this, suddenly realized something, and his mind suddenly became clear. He hurriedly urged, "A Ling, quickly summon the Tai Chi Yin Yang Snake!"

Ah Ling did not dare to neglect it. He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. After a while, two huge black and white snakes, emitting a mysterious aura, appeared out of thin air.

Xuanwu hurriedly stepped forward and told the Yin and Yang snakes in detail what A Ling had just said.

Having previously suffered heavy damage from the backlash, the Xuanwu's injuries severely impacted its ability to exert its full strength. Now, it could no longer sustain the surging defensive winds. Helplessly, it could only continue to draw upon the mysterious power contained within space to resist the torrent of attacks.

The Black Tortoise Snake stood guard over the Tai Chi Yin Snake and the Tai Chi Yang Snake. The enormous Tai Chi Yin Snake snake meandered along the base of the rocky mountain, slowly approaching the Suzaku's ankles and cautiously absorbing the black energy that continuously emanated from there.

At first, the Tai Chi Yin Snake acted extremely cautiously, only daring to absorb a small amount of black energy each time as a test.

However, it soon sensed a subtle, uncanny aura hidden within this cold, gloomy air! Once this strange aura entered its body, it immediately became like a mischievous child, dashing about aimlessly, sometimes darting left and right, sometimes leaping up and down, as if desperately trying to break free from the Yin Snake's constraints.

After a while, the Yin Snake could no longer withstand the crazy impact and torture of the evil spirit, and was forced to stop absorbing the black air and instead concentrate on stripping off and imprisoning this troublesome evil spirit.

After an arduous effort, the Yin Snake worked very hard for most of the day before finally removing about one-tenth or two-tenths of the cold and yin energy. However, the vast majority of the remaining energy still stubbornly lingered on the Suzaku Fire like a thorn in the flesh.

Looking at the Yang Snake again, it looked relaxed and at ease.

I saw it calmly using the Yang energy contained in itself to neutralize the cold and gloomy energy in the black air that permeated the surroundings bit by bit.

As time passed, and the cold and gloomy energy gradually dissipated, something unexpected happened—the already blazing Vermillion Bird Fire suddenly became incredibly intense! This blazing flame, like a ferocious beast, opened its bloody maw and instantly devoured the demonic energy contained in the black air, burning it completely.

However, at this moment, the Xuanwu Gangfeng, which had been silently guarding nearby, suddenly exerted its strength, like an indestructible barrier, blocking the possible burning of the Yang Snake by the Suzaku Fire.

In this way, the cooperation between the three is seamless, and they seem to have a tacit understanding.

After a long, long time, finally, when the Yang Snake successfully neutralized the last trace of remaining cold and yin energy, the Vermillion Bird, which had been trapped in the black energy chains, suddenly broke free.

Suddenly, a clear and high-pitched sound of a phoenix was heard, which resounded through the sky, as if it was about to break through the clouds in the sky.

The Vermilion Bird spread its dazzling wings and soared into the sky like a flash of lightning. It circled and soared in the air for a long time, refusing to leave, as if to show the world its joy and majesty after regaining its freedom.

After flying for a long time above everyone's heads, the Suzaku finally came to a rest, feeling satisfied. Then, like a meteor streaking across the sky, it transformed into a brilliant streak of light. Together with the Black Tortoise, which had been escorting it, it flashed into space and disappeared from everyone's sight.
