"This thing grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent, just like a demon in one's heart. Once it takes root, it's very difficult to remove. Back then, this thing disappeared along with the destruction of the world, and I haven't seen it since. I don't know how to get rid of it."

Yun Zhiyi pursed her lips. "Then how can we prevent infection? Is it enough to just avoid getting hurt?"

She saw that Zhao Liang's memories were transmitted through injuring people.

The water unicorn shook its head. "Low-level blood curses do indeed spread through blood, but high-level blood curses can be spread by controlling the blood curse energy."

Finally, after thinking for a moment, he added, "If one's strength surpasses that of the opponent, one can resist the invasion of blood energy without being injured."

Yun Zhiyi roughly understood that it was similar to how Fu Yuanbo could temporarily seal Zhao Liang's demonic energy with his internal force.

After hearing this, she felt heavy-hearted.

No wonder there are two important side quests under the main quest.

The two tasks are still intertwined and influence each other.

The second point, 'find the source of the demon and remove the demonic energy,' is particularly crucial.

It's now almost certain that the source of the demonic energy is the one carrying the first Blood Calamity, which began spreading demonic energy throughout this world.

This task has two parts; if either part isn't resolved, the other part cannot be completed.

If either of the two tasks cannot be completed, the main task is even less likely to succeed.

Even if we find the spacetime rift now, it will be of no use. It might even further stimulate the rift to expand and spread the demonic source.

A moment of silence fell over the crowd, and everyone frowned, staring at Zhao Liang and scrutinizing him.

Ice Demon Dragon Lion said, "How about we leave this person in the space for now, and I'll study him. Maybe I can find a way."

Nine-Tailed Fox said, "Last time, the Yin-Yang Fish was able to remove the demonic poison from the person in your manor. You can get some for this guy to try."

Yun Zhiyi also remembered this matter and nodded.

Although Fu Tingchen was poisoned by the modified version of the demonic poison from Luoshui Palace, they all originated from the same source.

Perhaps we can find a breakthrough from this.

Nine-Tailed Fox immediately said, "Old Qilin, lend a hand and send out two Yin-Yang fish."

The water unicorn didn't move at all, but soon two lines of water emerged, carrying out two yin-yang fish, one black and one white.

The yin-yang fish landed on the ground and was pulled to the ball by the Nine-Tailed Fox's power.

It's obvious they're trying to imitate the same approach as last time.

Yin-Yang fish plus White Tiger flame.

The ball spewed out a fireball, which enveloped two yin-yang fish.

The fish was quickly burnt.

Nine-Tailed Fox touched Zhao Liang's forehead.

He, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were lifeless, like a puppet without a soul. He sat up stiffly, hugged the charred yin fish and started gnawing on it, ignoring the red burns on his hands.

A group of people just stood around, watching him eat the fish numbly.

After half of the fish had been eaten, Yun Zhiyi raised her hand to check on his internal condition.

His eyes lit up at first, but he quickly frowned again.

The others also checked at the same time and all sensed the changes in the other person's body.

It has been proven that the yin-yang symbol does indeed have an effect on demonic energy.

However, it's possible that the demonic energy within this person was too pure, resulting in a very subtle effect.

And it was quickly devoured by the enemy.

“Let’s get ten more yin-yang fish and try refining their spiritual energy,” Nine-Tailed Fox said.

At this moment, the water unicorn said...

"Actually, I think the reason why the Yin-Yang fish works against demonic energy may not be a problem with the spiritual object itself, but rather related to your purification power. Why don't you try using your purification power?"

The group paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that there was some truth to it.

The water in this lake was formed from the essence of Yun Zhiyi, and it is filled with her purifying energy. The Yin-Yang fish, which have lived in it for a long time, may also possess purifying abilities.

Yun Zhiyi thought for a moment, then raised both hands.

Green light in the left hand, blue light in the right, the two orbs of light slowly merged into one and then entered Zhao Liang's body.

Her two superpowers complement each other and have been completely integrated, both possessing the power of purification.

By refining and integrating them, the purifying power will be even stronger.

When this purifying power entered Zhao Liang's body, his changes became immediately apparent.

Without needing to examine the changes within his body, everyone was certain of the purifying power's effect on him.

Although Zhao Liang's face was contorted in pain, the strange red markings on his face were gradually fading away.

Several pairs of eyes were fixed on his changes.

Yun Zhiyi also used her spiritual power to probe into his body.

This change is somewhat similar to the one when using the yin-yang symbol.

However, unlike the purifying power of the Yin-Yang fish which is devoured upon entering, this purifying power is extremely powerful.

The demonic energy within Zhao Liang's body was constantly retreating and gathering in his dantian.

Her eyes lit up, and she once again condensed a purifying power and injected it into her body.

Some of the demonic energy was absorbed and purified before it could dissipate.

The contracted beasts looked on with delight at this change.

When Yun Zhiyi injected the third wave of purification power, most of the demonic energy had already been purified.

But just as she was about to press on and intensify the purification efforts to completely cleanse the demonic energy...

An accident occurred.

There were only a few soft popping sounds.

Almost all of Zhao Liang's blood vessels and meridians burst, his heart stopped, and he died instantly.

The expressions of surprise on everyone's faces froze.

It was the Water Kirin who reacted first, "It's alright. His body is still in the process of transformation and is at its weakest stage. His strength is not strong to begin with, so it's normal that he can't withstand the collision of the two forces."

Yun Zhiyi understood, let out a sigh of relief, and nodded.

The Spirit Marrow Worm also comforted him, "Now at least we can be sure that your purifying power can suppress the Blood Calamity, so we don't have to be afraid of this thing anymore."

Nine-Tailed Fox nodded, "If the situation of that kid in your village can be solved with Yin-Yang Fish, then others can too. You don't need to do it all yourself. Since you're not going to raise fish outside, you can raise more Yin-Yang Fish."

Qiuqiu couldn't help but say, "You've got it backwards. The purification effect of the Yin-Yang fish comes from the master's power, so it doesn't necessarily have to be the Yin-Yang fish. Anything else will do, as long as it has the power of purification."

The beasts paused, then nodded in agreement.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Zhiyi had already formed a plan in her mind.

Since her power can suppress demonic energy, removing it is not difficult.

Although we still don't know where the first generation of demons is, or how many second and third generation demons or half-demons and monsters there are.

But she can take precautions first.

The process from infection to transformation takes time.

She can infuse purifying power into food, and anyone who eats it will retain this purifying power in their body, providing at least some protection.

People who have just been infected can also get rid of the infection by eating foods with purifying power or taking elixirs.

Relieved by the result, she smiled again.

All that's left is to lure the snake out of its hole.

The fact that the first generation of demons can only hide their true colors and plot in secret shows that they are not yet fully powerful.

If they knew there was already a way to control him, they probably wouldn't just sit and wait to die.

A thousand thoughts raced through my mind in an instant, and I quickly pieced together a complete and clear line of reasoning.

She already knew what to do next.

She smiled at the water unicorn and said, "Thanks."
