"Brother Linnai?" Ye Wan'er asked anxiously, "What's wrong? You look terrible..."
Lin Nai stood up with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "It's purple fungus. There's a large area of purple fungus growing rapidly underground! At this rate, the purple fungus and demonic energy will surge to the surface in less than ten minutes."
"What?" Old Wei frowned slightly: "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible. I had considered that those plants from the demon realm might enter the barrier from underground, but the divine power and holy light contained in the sun I created within the barrier should be able to suppress the dark energy within a thousand meters underground."
“Your current divine power is only 4%.” Linna glanced at him and said, “In terms of strength, you are only an ordinary Myriad Manifestations-level demon. If the dark energy of those demonic plants exceeds this level, you probably won’t be able to suppress it.”
“…That makes sense.” Old Wei paused, then asked, “So what should we do now?”
"I'll go and inform the others about this first," Lin Nai said gravely. "There's demonic energy underground, making the growth conditions for these spiritual plants extremely demanding. Can you still force them to grow?"
Old Wei pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Given the current situation, I should be able to manage, but it will take a little time."
“Alright, then do your best.” Lin Nai turned her head: “Wan’er, you stay here. Once the spiritual plants are ripe, help pick them and then prepare the medicine according to the list.”
"Okay." Night nodded.
Inside the Elder's Tea Garden.
"What? Zheng Longhai discovered that you were spying on him?" Li Fei frowned.
"Uh, yes..." Li Xiaozhu said awkwardly, "And we almost got beaten up by him..."
Li Xiaozhu recounted the entire incident.
Zou Li looked at Su Qingxue: "Xue'er, even you were defeated by him?"
“Hmm.” Su Qingxue nodded gently: “His strength is far above ours. Senior Gan Long said that he defeated three high-level superhumans with his level 6 strength. I think that must be true.”
"Really..." Zou Li stroked his stubble. "This guy from Chu is actually this powerful? Could there really be monsters in this world that can defeat enemies more than a dozen levels higher? That's not scientific..."
Xun Liang shook his head: "I told you long ago that you shouldn't be doing this. Now that Elder Zhou's power is expanding, we should try our best to win over all the allies who haven't been corrupted by demons. What you're doing will only create internal conflicts and affect trust."
“Old Xun, you’re overthinking it.” Li Fei shook his head. “He’s homeless now. We gave him a place to stay, so isn’t it normal to wonder if there’s something wrong with his identity?”
At that moment, Linnaeus suddenly rushed in from outside.
"Zheng Longhai? What are you doing here again?" Li Fei frowned. "This is the Elders' Tea House. Only elders and those with their permission are allowed to enter. You're just a newcomer; you should at least follow some of the rules..."
"Alright, stop babbling," Linna said. "There's a large area of purple fungus growing and spreading underground in this villa, and it's expected to affect the surface in less than ten minutes."
"Purple fungus?" Upon hearing this, Elder Xun immediately stood up: "Are you serious?"
Li Fei was stunned for a moment, then said, "Forget it, how could that be? There's a protective barrier here, so demonic energy can't possibly get in. Besides, there's Elder Wei's divine magic from the Farmer's Clan, so the dark energy beneath the ground has nowhere to hide. If purple fungus could grow here, I'd just eat it..."
"Elder Xun!"
A Confucian employee rushed in, his face filled with panic: "Something terrible has happened! A large number of plants in the manor have withered, rotted, and mutated, and demonic energy is seeping out from the ground. Many ordinary people without soul power to protect them have been corrupted by the demonic energy and have fainted!"
Li Fei: "......"
Lin Nai tilted her head: "Elder Li, what did you just say you wanted to eat?"
Li Fei: "...It's nothing. I just said I'm hungry and want to eat."
"Could it be that purple fungus has really grown from underground?" Elder Mo's expression turned grave. "Elder Wei's divine power should be able to suppress the demonic energy underground..."
"Old Master Wei is advanced in years; we cannot rely solely on him as our apostle." Old Master Xun raised his hand and commanded, "Quickly have the medical-class superhumans treat those corrupted by demonic energy. Also, have all the superhumans set up the Sage Formation to suppress the demonic energy!"
Confucian employee: "Okay!"
"Thump—!"
At that moment, another loud bang suddenly rang out!
The entire earth suddenly began to shake violently.
It was like a magnitude 7 earthquake!
"What the heck? What's going on now?" Li Xiaozhu exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Nai narrowed his eyes, and his mental vision expanded.
He saw that a crack had appeared at the entrance of the barrier outside the manor!
A powerful force is attacking from outside the barrier!
......
Outside the barrier.
Zhao Yulong stood on the roof of the car, his white clothes fluttering in the wind, his gaze coldly fixed on the road ahead.
He slowly raised one hand.
Behind him, a beautiful white jade dragon soared into the sky, emitting a deafening roar that echoed across the earth.
"Soul Skill - Qilin Dragon Roar!"
"Hooray!!!"
The white jade dragon opened its mouth, and waves of dragon roars spread outwards.
The previously shattered entrance to the barrier gradually developed countless network-like cracks, which multiplied and became increasingly dense with each dragon's roar...
"Whoosh!"
Finally, the barrier shattered like glass broken by the sound!
Zhao Yulong smirked coldly: "The rebels' hideout... Heh, let's see where you can hide now."
