However, the phantom's demonic transformation also brought about a huge problem: he began to be unable to distinguish between friend and foe.

"Phantom! Stop! I am Suzaku!" Suzaku cried out in alarm as he was entangled by the vines of the Phantom.

"Phantom! Stop! I am Phantom Moon!" Phantom Moon was struck by Phantom's wings, sent flying backward, and crashed into a wall.

"Phantom! Wake up! I am Bai Xiaochen!" Bai Xiaochen was struck by the Phantom's demonic energy, coughed up blood, and fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Lu Lingxi's expression changed drastically. "Phantom! Stop it immediately!"

Lu Lingxi rushed towards the phantom, trying to stop him. However, the phantom ignored her advice and attacked Lu Lingxi with his fists.

"Feixue! Stop him!" Lu Lingxi Yao quickly summoned the Flying Snow Sword to block the phantom's attack. The Flying Snow Sword collided with the phantom's fists, producing a loud bang.

"Phantom, wake up!"

Lu Lingxi Yao cried out anxiously, but the phantom ignored her completely and continued to attack Lu Lingxi Yao. His attacks became more and more fierce and frantic.

Forced to retreat step by step, Lu Lingxi Yao knew that if this continued, they would all die at the hands of the phantom.

"Feixue, is there any way to restore the illusion to its sanity?" Lu Lingxi asked in her mind.

“Master, demonization is an extremely dangerous state. Once you become demonized, it is very difficult to regain your sanity, unless…” Feixue’s voice was hesitant.

"Unless what?" Lu Lingxi asked hurriedly.

"Unless we use powerful spiritual force to awaken the phantom from its demonic state, or use even stronger demonic energy to suppress the demonic energy within the phantom," Feixue said.

“Mental power…” Lu Lingxi frowned. Although her mental power was stronger than that of an ordinary person, it was probably not enough to awaken the demonized phantom.

"Even more powerful demonic energy..."

Lu Lingxi's gaze fell on the blood-fiend puppets. These puppets contained a dense blood-fiend aura. If this blood-fiend aura could be introduced into the phantom's body, it might be able to suppress the demonic energy within the phantom.

However, doing so also carries great risks. If the phantom cannot withstand this bloodthirsty energy, his body may collapse directly.

"Master, there is another way." Feixue's voice rang out again.

"What method?" Lu Lingxi asked.

"Use my power to seal the phantom," Feixue said. "However, doing so will greatly deplete my power, and the sealing time will not be long."

"seal……"

Lu Lingxi hesitated for a moment. This was the best solution at the moment. Although it would cause damage to Feixue, it was better than letting the phantom continue to go out of control.

"Feixue, I'm counting on you!" Lu Lingxi said in her heart.

"Master, leave it to me with confidence!" Feixue's voice was full of determination.

Lu Lingxi took a deep breath and poured her spiritual power into the Flying Snow Sword. The sword's light grew brighter and brighter, and the runes around the blade became even more luminous.

"Demon Seal!"

Lu Lingxi Yao let out a delicate shout, and the Flying Snow Sword in her hand transformed into a white light, flying towards the phantom.

The Flying Snow Sword traced mysterious trajectories in the air, forming a massive sealing array that enveloped the phantom within.

Phantom felt bound by a powerful force. He struggled frantically, trying to break free of the seal, but the power of the Flying Snow Sword was simply too great, and he was unable to break free at all.

"what!"

The phantom let out a roar of unwilling anger. His body gradually shrank, his demonic energy gradually dissipated, and his eyes gradually regained their clarity.

“Master…” Phantom’s voice was weak as he looked at Lu Lingxi Yao with guilt in his eyes.

"Phantom, are you alright?" Lu Lingxi asked hurriedly.

“I…I’m fine…” Phantom shook his head. “I’m sorry, Master, I lost control…”

"It's alright, I'm glad you're okay." Lu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief. She walked to Huanying's side and helped him up.

"Master, I need to rest for a while..." Phantom's voice grew weaker and weaker, and his body began to become transparent.

"Okay, you should get some rest." Lu Lingxi nodded and put the phantom back into her spirit beast space.

The Flying Snow Sword returned to Lu Lingxi's hand, its light dimming slightly, clearly indicating that the seal had greatly diminished its power.

"Feixue, thank you," Lu Lingxi said softly.

"Master, no need to thank me, it's what I should do." Feixue's voice was somewhat weak.

Lu Lingxi Yao returned the Flying Snow Sword to her body. Her gaze fell on the Blood Fiend Puppets. Most of these puppets had been destroyed due to the out-of-control phantoms, and the rest were no longer a threat.

"Everyone, let's attack together and eliminate the remaining puppets!" Lu Lingxi Yao said.

Zhuque, Huanyue, and Baixiaochen nodded and launched another attack on the Blood Fiend Puppet. This time, without the interference of the phantom, they quickly eliminated all the remaining Blood Fiend Puppets. As the last Blood Fiend Puppet fell, the entire space returned to calm.

The group stood amidst the chaos, their bodies bearing wounds and their spiritual energy mostly depleted, yet their faces beamed with victorious smiles.

"We...we won!" Huan Yue exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes, we succeeded!" Suzaku said with a smile.

"It's not easy! This third trial is really too difficult!" Bai Xiaochen exclaimed.

Lu Lingxi smiled slightly. She looked at her companions, her heart filled with gratitude. Without their help, she would not have been able to pass these three trials.

"Alright, everyone, take a break and recover your spiritual energy. We still need to move forward," Lu Lingxi said.

Everyone nodded, found a place, sat cross-legged, and began to regulate their breathing.

Lu Lingxi Yao also found a place, sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to regulate the spiritual energy in her body. Although the battle just now made her feel tired, she felt that her cultivation seemed to have improved again.
