The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

In the hall, Qiqi went straight to the main peak hall and reported his experience in the Shadow Ruins in detail to the sect leader and the elders.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn. Everyone was staring at the dark blue spirit bead in Lan Yunyan's hand. The strange light it emitted flickered in the hall, as if it was hiding endless secrets.

The Sect Master cleared his throat and spoke first, "This spirit pearl has an evil aura and is definitely something extraordinary. Fairy Lan has done a great deed by bringing it back."

We must immediately retreat and study, seeking ways to purify it, to prevent it from bringing disaster to the world."

Lan Yunyan nodded slightly. "Master, I have discovered many runic marks related to ancient evil cultivators in the ruins. It seems that some kind of evil ritual was once performed there. I am afraid it is related to the evil incidents that have occurred recently in various places. I hope the sect can send more personnel to conduct a deeper investigation."

A white-haired elder stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "Fairy Lan is absolutely right. If this evil is not stopped in time, it may lead to even greater disasters. I will arrange for my disciples who are skilled in tracking and exploring secrets to follow the clues and investigate."

After the discussion, Lan Yunyan left the hall and returned to her own residence. She knew that the appearance of this spirit pearl was only the beginning, and that the dark forces hidden behind it might be quietly plotting a greater conspiracy.

In the following days, Lan Yunyan practiced and improved her own magic power while paying close attention to the sect's research progress on the spirit beads.

She often browsed ancient books in the Qingyun Sect's library, trying to find records about such spirit beads and ancient evil cultivators, hoping to gain more clues.

One day, Lan Yunyan was practicing in her quiet room when she suddenly felt a powerful surge of magical energy coming from the main peak. Startled, she quickly stood up and sped towards the main peak.

When she arrived at the main hall, she saw the hall shining with light. The dark blue spirit bead was suspended in the air. The elders gathered in a circle around it and were working together to cast a purification spell.

However, the evil power within the spirit pearl seemed extremely tenacious, constantly devouring the soul power of the elders.

Seeing this, Lan Yunyan joined the battle without hesitation. She injected her own magic power into the purification array and chanted an ancient spell.

This spell, which she had stumbled upon in an ancient book from the Demon Realm, possessed a powerful purifying power. With Lan Yunyan's participation, the light of the magic circle gradually grew stronger, beginning to suppress the evil forces within the spirit pearl.

After a bitter battle, the evil power within the spirit pearl was finally weakened. The elders took the opportunity to increase the purification efforts. Finally, the light of the dark blue spirit pearl was restored to purity, and the evil aura dissipated completely.

Lan Yunyan breathed a weary sigh of relief. Only then did she realize her clothes were soaked with sweat. The elders also looked exhausted, but their eyes were filled with relief.

The Sect Master looked at Lan Yunyan and praised her, "Fairy Lan's help this time is invaluable.

After our research, we found that this spiritual pearl was a container used by ancient evil cultivators to seal the evil power. Now that the container is damaged, the evil power has leaked out, which has caused evil things to happen in various places.

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. We still need to further explore the remnants of the evil cultivators and other possible evil seals."

Lan Yunyan clasped his fists and saluted: "Master, I am willing to continue serving the sect and track down the source of this evil."

After a short rest, Lan Yunyan set out on her journey again. Following the clues provided by the sect, she arrived at a remote valley.

A foul smell filled the valley, and the surrounding trees were all a strange black color, with withered branches and leaves, and no life.

Lan Yunyan cautiously entered the valley. Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed in the valley: "Haha, a little girl from Qingyun Sect, you dare to come here to die!"

Lan Yunyan's eyes flashed, and she shouted, "Who are you, evil spirit? Show yourself!"

Before he finished speaking, a group of dark shadows emerged from the surrounding woods. These shadows were ethereal, their faces distorted, and exuded a strong evil aura. Lan Yunyan recognized them as vengeful spirits corrupted by evil forces.

The wraiths lunged at Lan Yunyan with their claws and fangs bared. Lan Yunyan waved her wand, unleashing a storm of fire that temporarily repelled the wraiths. However, the wraiths were numerous and fearless of fire, so they quickly surrounded her again.

Lan Yunyan knew that ordinary magic was ineffective against these resentful spirits and that she had to find their weaknesses. While fending off the attacks of the resentful spirits, she observed their movements.

She discovered that whenever the resentful spirit approached a cave deep in the valley, the evil aura on it would grow stronger.

Lan Yunyan suddenly decided to venture deeper into the cave. She cast a powerful shield magic, enveloping herself in it, and then rushed towards the cave. The resentful spirits tried to stop her, but were all repelled by Lan Yunyan's shield.

After entering the cave, Lan Yunyan discovered that it was filled with various evil runes and formations. At the end of the cave, there was a huge black altar, on which was placed a core emitting a dark light.

Lan Yunyan realized that this core was the source of power for the resentful spirit and the core of the evil power here.

Lan Yunyan took a deep breath, mobilized all her soul power, and prepared to destroy the core. Just as she was about to attack, a man in a black robe suddenly appeared beside the altar.

The black-robed man looked at Lan Yunyan coldly: "Little girl, do you think you can ruin my plan?"

Lan Yunyan glared at the man in black robes: "You evil bastard, today is your end!"

After saying that, Lan Yunyan took the lead in attacking. She unleashed a series of magical attacks, blasting the black-robed man. However, the black-robed man remained calm and, with a wave of his hand, neutralized Lan Yunyan's attacks.

"Although your soul power is strong, it is not enough in front of me." The man in black robe sneered.

Lan Yunyan knew that the black-robed figure before her was extremely powerful, and she must give it her all. She put away her staff, formed a complex hand seal with her hands, and muttered something.

As the seal was completed, a powerful aura emanated from Lan Yunyan's body, and her eyes turned a deep blue, as if containing endless soul power.

This is one of Lan Yunyan's trump cards - Nascent Soul Transformation.
