Fairy, help me practice

　"Walk a little further."

　Chen Yao followed the traces of the poor runes and walked all the way to a higher floor.

　The further you go in, the more damaged the runes on the wall become. By the time you reach the 19th floor, most of the wall has collapsed.

　The red mist in Xuhuai Valley emanates from here.

　"There was quite a battle here."

　Mingzhan stated his conclusion.

　Chen Yao and Su Quanyu also agreed with her point of view.

　"Then, it's very likely that Jiuluo discovered that the great demon was about to make a move, and came here to suppress it, but was taken advantage of instead?"

　Chen Yao really didn't want things to turn out as he had guessed. Otherwise, he would have no clues about whether Jiu Luo was alive or dead, and where to look for him.

　Noticing his grim expression, Su Quanyu softly consoled him, "Don't worry. With the Sect Master's wisdom and experience, even if he suffers some losses, he won't be at the end of his rope."

　She rolled her eyes and smiled, "Perhaps she left some marks or clues?"

　This sentence reminded Chen Yao, and he recalled the crappy runes that had followed him all the way.

　Logically speaking, such a poor rune would not have any effect even if it was inserted into the rune wall, let alone trap any powerful monster.

　So, could these runes be the clues left by Jiu Luo?

　Thinking of this, Chen Yao seriously considered the familiarity of these runes and began to trace them with his hands.

　As he was writing, he had an idea and realized that these runes, when reversed, were exactly the basic runes. So he reversed these runes and connected them together, and then arranged them into several circles.

　The newly drawn runes in the dust suddenly lit up with a silver light, and even the clumsy runes on the wall lit up.

　The three of them saw a flash of light before their eyes, and their figures disappeared without a trace in the ruins of the building.

　The author says:

Chapter 222: Purifying the Immortal Scripture, Corrupted Immortal Qi

　The scene in front of his eyes suddenly brightened and then darkened, and Chen Yao found himself back in a familiar place.

　When Jiuluo sent him here, nine people from the Demon Sect wiped out the demon seal between his eyebrows.

　Now that I think about it, those nine people were the so-called Nine Demons.

　"There was a fierce battle here."

　Su Quanyu looked around at the broken flesh and blood and was horrified.

　"There's a thick fog of demonic energy and the aura of the Nine Falls here."

　Chen Yao hoped that Jiu Luo had not died there. Although he knew in his heart that the idea of ​​Jiu Luo dying was outrageous, he couldn't help but feel worried since it concerned him after all.

　It shouldn't be the case, otherwise why would she leave a back door outside?

　Su Quanyu had the same thought: "There should be some information here."

　As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Zhan exclaimed and ran forward regardless of anything.

　Chen Yao and Su Quanyu felt something was strange, so they followed.

　Ming Zhan knelt down in front of a half-rotten corpse, crying tremblingly.

　It was unknown whether the corpse had been dead for many years or had been affected by the battle, and its appearance was no longer recognizable. From the torn clothes she was wearing, it could be seen that this person must be a woman.

　Although the black clothes were torn, the immortal artistic conception implied in them was still very strong, and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary sect disciple.

　Su Quanyu sighed, "Then, he must be Mingzhan's master. Back then, because he disobeyed the sect, his cultivation was destroyed and he was imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower... How did he end up in this hidden level where the Nine Demons are trapped?"

　Ming Zhan looked at his master's unrecognizable face and shook his head, saying, "Master has been imprisoned here from the beginning... No wonder I didn't find her when I sneaked into the Demon Suppression Tower."

　"Impossible? Even though the Nine Demons are trapped, they are still very ferocious, and your master's cultivation has been destroyed..."

　Su Quanyu's words were interrupted by Chen Yao.

　Chen Yao observed the corpse. "Her cultivation wasn't destroyed. The material of this tattered robe isn't particularly high-quality. The reason it's so full of immortal energy is probably due to her immortal body being immersed in Taoism for many years."

　"How could that be? The Sect Master destroyed her cultivation in front of all the disciples..."

　Ming Zhan and Su Quanyu said in unison, but when they looked at the robe of the corpse, they realized that what Chen Yao said did make sense.

　"Is there something hidden here?"

　Ming Zhan reached out and gently stroked the corpse's torn sleeve and was stunned.

　There wasn't even a speck of dust on his sleeves.

　Her lips trembled.

　"Master, Master has only recently materialized..."

　Chen Yao walked closer and agreed with her: "And it is very likely that it was during the battle between Death and the Nine Demons."

　He pointed to the corpse's shoulder, where there was a claw mark containing demonic energy.

　Ming Zhan knelt over and gently examined the corpse. As her fingertips touched the shoulder of the corpse, a cloud of light dust dissipated from the corpse. The corpse, which had been sitting upright, suddenly collapsed and turned into a soft, tattered robe that fell to the ground.

　"Master!"

　Ming Zhan stretched out her hand, trying to catch the dust mist that her mentor's body had turned into. The dust mist seemed to have a spirit, surrounding her fingertips and emitting a faint jade light.

　The jade light transformed into two human figures.

　"Master, in less than a month, the Nine Demons' strength has inexplicably increased. You must not take any risks!"

　A figure with clothing similar to that of a corpse.

　"Really? No wonder the purified immortal scripture points here. Haha, it seems that in order to fully absorb the immortal energy without being contaminated, I must fight them!"

　When the figure who looked like Jiu Luo said this, Chen Yao's heart moved.

　Could it be that Jiuluo already knew about the hidden dangers of the immortal scripture and immortal energy? Did she also have a solution?

　Jiu Luo's figure spoke again: "

　Thank you for your hard work over the years."

　She threw something at another figure: "From today on, your duty to guard the Nine Demons is fulfilled. I will absolve you of all the injustices you have suffered before."

　The figure took it, his sleeves trembling slightly: "Let me guard for one last day and raid the battlefield for the Sect Master."

　"it is good."

　The two figures disappeared.

　Mingzhan was already crying uncontrollably.

　It turns out that there is a hidden story behind Master's injustice...

　Master is not a "criminal" of the Mingyang Sect at all, but a meritorious official who defended the sect and the righteous path against the evildoers that were wreaking havoc in the South China Sea until the very last moment...

　Through her tearful eyes, she saw the light dust flying into the sky transform into her master's face, who gave her a caring smile.

　"Zhan'er, silly child, Master has harmed you. I'm sorry..."

　Through the conversation between the two shadows, Chen Yao roughly pieced together what happened here.

　Jiuluo came to the Demon-Suppressing Tower to purify the Immortal Scripture, intending to absorb the immortal energy without leaving any hidden dangers. It is unknown what method she used to purify the Immortal Scripture, and the purified Immortal Scripture guided her here.

　The Nine Demons grew in strength, perhaps dealing with Ming Zhan's master, and then the two of them joined forces to fight a great battle against the Nine Demons.

　The Demon-Suppressing Tower collapsed, Master Mingzhan died tragically, and Jiuyao and Jiuluo disappeared.

　But it should be certain that Jiu Luo is not dead, otherwise she would not have left those crappy runes outside.

　Just think of it as something she left behind, otherwise who else could it be?

　The Nine Demons escaped from the predicament and did not leave these things behind.

　"There's something here!"

　Su Quanyu's voice attracted Chen Yao's attention.

　As Chen Yao walked over, the immortal energy in his body flowed naturally, while the blood energy condensed from practicing the Ten Directions Demonic Evil shrank into the corners of his meridians.

　what is this?

　He looked at a speck of white sand on the ground.

　As he approached, the cluster of white sand began to vibrate on its own and then sprinkled onto Chen Yao's body.

　A spiritual consciousness penetrated into Chen Yao's consciousness.

　Jiu Luo's calm and smiling face appeared in his mind.

　"You're finally back? How was your trip to the Sea Ruins? Did you retrieve the Immortal Scripture? But I think that's where the Nascent Soul resides after all, so it doesn't matter if you didn't get it.

　Unfortunately, by the time you found this divine consciousness, I was probably no longer in the Mingyang Sect. The righteous path made mistakes, the demon sects struck back, the South China Sea was in chaos, and evil spirits were rampant. Sigh... why are there always so many worries?

　The consciousness dissipates.

ＷＷＷ.ＳhuＢ１２３.ＣＯＭ

　Chen Yao just felt a headache. Sister, you didn’t give me any useful information!

　The spirit returns to its present state.

　"I know you're secretly criticizing me. If the immortal energy in your body has begun to corrupt, why didn't you use your brain if you wanted to find me? The Nine Demons will definitely return to the Demon Well if they escape. Don't you know where the secret passage leading to the Demon Well is?

　Uh... you don't seem to know this secret. I'll just tell you. Come find me in Jiujiang!"

　Immortal energy will corrupt.

　This was the first piece of information Chen Yao derived from Jiu Luo's words.

　This makes sense, then, as to the Immortal Scripture, the dark aura, and the demonic transformations of Yang Qi, Huang Bing, and the others due to handling the Scripture. They weren't demonized by the demonic energy, but rather by the corruption of the immortal energy.

　Thinking of this, Chen Yao's heart tightened.

　Xu Junyu's right hand is still stained with black air!

　"We have to go to Jiujiang quickly."

　As he spoke, he wielded the sword in his hand and slashed at the crack above his head.

　Su Quanyu knew that he had got the clue, so he took Ming Zhan and followed Chen Yaofei out.

　As soon as the three of them flew out of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, a shower of icy spikes rained down on them.

　Chen Yao subconsciously used the Zixu Shield, which made several twisted "squeaking" sounds and was completely shattered by the extremely cold ice spikes.

　Su Quanyu summoned a wind wall to barely block the ice spikes, but after just a few breaths, the wind wall was frozen into an ice wall.

　The ice wall is spreading.

　Chen controlled the sword remotely like a dragon, and the sword energy urged him to resist, stirring up layers of ice mist on the ground.

　Until now, the three have not seen any trace of the enemy.

　Ming Zhan calmed his mind and took action, forming a water barrier to resist, but the water helped the ice, making it even colder.

　"Help me block it for a while!"

　Chen Yao now had all five elements complete, so he immediately took out the talisman pen and paper and started writing. After more than ten breaths, ten blazing fire talismans were completed.

　He rubbed his hands together and scattered the Fire Talisman. Streams of fire rose into the sky and merged into a wall of fire that hit the ice wall.

　With a cracking sound, the ice wall finally turned into water and rushed forward.

　"Mingzhan, you really are a dog that can't change its bad habits."

　A rough female voice came from the mist at the top of the valley.

　Mingzhan's face changed.

　Chen Yao asked, "Is this the Hui'an you were talking about?"

　Su Quanyu shook her head in denial: "If it was Hui'an, the fire wall just now would have had no effect. This must be Hui'an's great-granddaughter, Huiding."

　"Great-granddaughter? I thought Hui'an was a monk."

　Chen Yao couldn't help but smile.

　Ming Zhan couldn't help but frown and glare at him: "It's already this hour, and you're still laughing? If we're discovered, there's no way we can escape."

　Chen Yao thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you say you were familiar with some of the secret passages in this valley?"
