The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

If you ask where the evil energy that Zhulong sacrificed himself to seal came from,

The enlightened answer is that there are two extremes, Yin and Yang, and the cycle of the Way of Heaven.

There is good and evil, good and bad, prosperity and decline in the world.

This is the ceaseless cycle of nature.

Mingwu said, "Although Zhulong is dead, his divine body has been fighting against the evil energy that he sealed in his body for so many years."

“I watched as he gradually turned into bones, and the evil aura slowly weakened and disappeared because of the fire he left behind.”

"I suspect that the last wisp of evil energy in your senior brother's body escaped into the Red Water by chance, and was then carried out by the demon beasts that drank from the Red Water."

Ning Tinglan said, "So that's how it is. When I first saw that Senior Brother Mu had turned black, I thought someone was impersonating him."

Mingwu sighed and said, "When I came down here, Zhulong's body had not yet completely ossified, and his scales and flesh were black."

"This is because of the influence of bad luck."

"However, since you have made it this far, this young friend's life should be safe. Once the last bit of evil energy is removed from him, he will return to his original color, and Zhulong's long-cherished wish can be fulfilled."

Everyone perked up, and Rong Xuan asked, "Master Mingwu, what is your method?"

They had come all this way through hardship, their purpose being to bring Muyunjian out exactly as it was.

Mingwu looked down at the little black rabbit squatting on the futon and said, "I will deliver you to the mouth of the Candle Dragon."

"The light you see now is the fire of the Candle Dragon."

"The fire of the Candle Dragon can purify all things. After I send you there, I will wait for the fire of the Candle Dragon to burn away all the evil energy on your body before I send you out."

Rong Xuan immediately stopped him, saying, "No, what if Zhulong's fire also purifies Junior Brother Mu?"

Mingwu said, "Young friend, you are overthinking it. Zhulong, like the one beside you, is a benevolent beast. How could it kill innocent people for no reason?"

Upon hearing this, everyone knew that Mingwu had already recognized the Emperor's identity.

Yun Yici shared Rong Xuan's opinion. She believed that Mu Yunjian was not inherently bad, but the fire of the Candle Dragon, like the Way of Heaven, left no room for reason.

For example, Shen Huaichuan failed to ascend, so what? He could just start cultivating again. But instead, he was inexplicably imprisoned in the Xuanling Prison.

Now, they face a choice: whether Mu Yunjian can survive depends on the fire from the Candle Dragon.

The price of failure is that Mu Yunjian will die.

Regret is futile.

Seeing the doubt on everyone's faces, Mingwu took the initiative to stand up, then floated into the air and threw himself into the mouth of the Candle Dragon in front of everyone.

"Master Mingwu!!"

Everyone was shocked by what they saw and looked over at the same time.

The size of the Candle Dragon was too enormous, while Mingwu's bald head, topped with the Candle Dragon's light, looked like a glowing soybean.

But to everyone's surprise, the simply dressed monk actually passed right through the mouth of the Candle Dragon, to prove that what he said was true.

The emperor became interested and stood up, saying, "So the fire of the Candle Dragon doesn't harm people at all?"

"I'll try."

The emperor was very confident that ordinary fire attacks would have no effect on him.

Mingwu hovered in mid-air near the mouth of the Candle Dragon, looking very light and agile.

"The Emperor decrees to you, young friend, that the fire of the Candle Dragon can distinguish between good and evil."

The imperial edict also soared into the sky, flying directly to the same level as Mingwu.

However, he was still cautious and careful. He first took out a red phoenix feather from his sleeve and then blew on it gently.

The tiny phoenix feather, appearing insignificant before the gaping maw of the Candle Dragon, followed its breath and passed directly through the light within the dragon's mouth, before drifting out from the other end.

The phoenix feathers were completely undamaged.

Upon seeing this, the Emperor accelerated and passed right through the mouth of the Candle Dragon to catch the falling phoenix feather. He felt neither burns nor even the slightest bit of pain.

Yun Yici and the others had already flown up when the imperial edict arrived.

However, the imperial edict was extremely fast, and before they could stop it, they saw it pass through the fire in the mouth of the Candle Dragon.

After the imperial edict was issued, he added, "Throw him in. I've tested it, and he's not hot at all."

If Mingwu hadn't been there to witness it, he would hardly have believed that this was the Candle Dragon Divine Fire.

The little black rabbit was fixed to Huai Chuan with gold thread, and now it stared intently at the light coming from Zhu Long's mouth.

Perhaps the success of the imperial edict gave Mu Yunjian confidence. After watching for a while, he turned to Yun Yici and said, "Junior sister, let me down."

Yun Yici didn't answer, and began to torment the dog system: "Didn't you have a new probability calculation function before? Can you calculate the probability that Senior Brother Mu will come out of the Candle Dragon Fire?"

Dog System: "5%, that's the most we can do."

"Mu Yunjian was inherently wicked. He seems like a good person now, not because he wants to be a good person, but because you want him to be."

"A person's character determines their destiny. You may help them avoid a crucial turning point in their life, but destiny is composed of countless choices they make."

"He himself was blinded by hatred and chose to lure Li Zhan here."

Yun Yici said, "If you repay evil with good, how will you repay good?"

If she were Mu Yunjian, she would also find a secluded place and smash Li Zhan's head in.

Yun Yici took a deep breath, turned around and bent down to untie the black rabbit dumpling tied to Huaichuan, then hugged him in her arms.

"I'll go in with my senior brother."

She remembered that the system had said that the Candle Dragon's Fire had a fire spirit that could judge good and evil.

She's going to talk to Fire Spirit; roasting rabbit? Forget about it.

Rong Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Junior sister, no! I'm your senior brother, let me do it!"

He reached out to take the black rabbit from Yun Yici's hand.

Yun Yici quickly dodged Rong Xuan's hand, grabbed the black rabbit, and jumped into the gaping maw of the Candle Dragon.

In the instant before the light disappeared, Yun Yici instinctively bent down to shield Mu Yunjian from the light and held him in her arms.

Previously, when the imperial edict and Mingwu passed back and forth, the flames of the Candle Dragon showed no reaction, but when Yun Yici jumped down with Mu Yun in his arms, the light shone brightly, so bright that everyone could not open their eyes!

"Yun Yici!!"

Emperor Zhao was an exception; he watched as the girl holding the rabbit was swallowed by the white light and disappeared completely into it almost instantly.

He roared and charged into the flames of the Candle Dragon, but it was all in vain.

He went through it.

Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan were a beat behind when they finally realized what had happened. In disbelief, they rushed into the fire of the Candle Dragon.

They passed through the mouth of the Candle Dragon again and again, but there was nothing there.

There was no sign of Yun Yici and Mu Yunjian, nor was there any trace of their existence.

Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan, still unwilling to give up, searched back and forth inside the mouth of the Candle Dragon with reddened eyes.

The emperor, enraged, grabbed Mingwu, who was standing nearby, and demanded, "Where is she?!"

"Didn't you say that the Candle Dragon's Fire could distinguish between good and evil? Where are you?!"

He didn't believe the girl he liked was a villain; the only explanation was that there was something wrong with the fire of the Candle Dragon.

Mingwu was dumbfounded. He first chanted a Buddhist prayer before saying, "There must be one among them who is chosen by Zhulong."
