Suddenly, Rong Jiaojiao had a flash of inspiration. She channeled her spiritual energy into the jade seal, and the pure spiritual energy was absorbed by the seal, causing it to shine brightly with azure light.
"Everyone, step back!" she shouted, tossing the small seal into the air.
The bronze seal swelled in the wind and transformed into a huge, cyan stone tablet phantom, radiating a vast purifying power.
Mo Bai sensed something and channeled his spiritual power into the Nine Dragons Demon-Subduing Brush. The next moment, the Nine Dragons Demon-Subduing Brush transformed into a small golden seal with nine dragon patterns. He threw the seal at the illusory stone tablet above.
The golden seal and the cyan stone tablet phantom collided in the air, but instead of clashing, they merged and transformed into a dazzling golden and cyan light curtain that enveloped an area of two miles!
"This is... the resonance of the Demon-Suppressing Seal!" Li Li exclaimed in shock.
Everyone was overjoyed, their eyes glued to everything before them.
The Blood Fiend Sect members' expressions changed drastically, and the man in black robes shouted sharply, "Retreat!"
However, it was too late.
The two-colored light curtain pressed down like the sky, and the bloodthirsty aura melted away like ice and snow the moment it came into contact with it. Those hideous ghostly figures let out a miserable scream and turned into black smoke and dissipated.
"Ah—!" The man in black robes frantically swung his blood-red longsword, trying to cleave through the light barrier. However, the moment his sword energy touched the light barrier, it was backfired by the purifying power, and the sword shattered inch by inch!
Rong Jiaojiao thought to herself that it was a pity; that big knife looked to be made of good material, and perhaps after being cleaned, it could become a good magic weapon.
"Pfft!" The leader of the men in black suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, his mask shattered, revealing a face covered with strange blood patterns.
"It really is a demonic seed parasitism!" Mo Bai said coldly. "No wonder the Blood Fiend Sect was able to rise from the ashes; it turns out it had already been corrupted by the demonic seed!"
Rong Jiaojiao's gaze sharpened, and she formed a hand seal: "Demon-Suppressing Seal, Seal!"
"boom--!"
The light barrier suddenly contracted, transforming into a seal that firmly imprisoned the man in black.
He struggled frantically, but the blood-red markings on his body quickly faded under the power of purification. In the end, his body shattered like dried tree bark and turned into a pile of ashes.
The other Blood Fiend Sect disciples were terrified upon seeing this and turned to flee.
"Trying to leave?" Old Zhou sneered, and with a wave of his longsword, sword energy surged like a rainbow, instantly slaying more than a dozen people.
Li Li also attacked at the same time, and the remaining people were also killed by his sword.
Zi Ling rushed out excitedly, her body crackling with lightning, transforming into a purple bolt of lightning that weaved through the enemy ranks. Wherever she passed, the Blood Fiend Sect disciples were enveloped in purple flames, and the escaping demonic seeds were all devoured by her.
In a very short time, the entire Blood Fiend Sect was wiped out!
After the battle, the two small seals separated again and returned to Rong Jiaojiao and Mo Bai's hands.
Mo Bai put away the small seal, took out the Xuan Yin Jade Marrow he had just put away, and examined it carefully.
Rong Jiaojiao asked, "What is the use of this chalcedony?"
Mo Bai gently stroked the surface of the Xuan Yin Jade Marrow with his fingertips, feeling the pure energy contained within.
Chalcedony is entirely ice-blue, slightly cool to the touch, and seems to have liquid flowing inside, refracting a dreamlike halo under sunlight.
Rong Jiaojiao leaned closer to examine it. "This chalcedony..." she frowned slightly, "seems to be more than just an ordinary spiritual material."
Thinking of the dull green jade seal, he took it out and brought it close to the chalcedony.
"Buzz—"
The chalcedony suddenly trembled slightly, and the runes on its surface lit up, turning into a wisp of blue light that actively merged into the small seal.
The bronze seal suddenly shone with a bright blue light, and the patterns on its surface became clearer. Previously, there was only one dragon pattern mark, but now a second dragon pattern mark appeared clearly!
"I see!" Rong Jiaojiao's eyes lit up. "The Mysterious Yin Jade Marrow can replenish the missing power of the Demon-Suppressing Seal!"
Old Zhou laughed and said, "The Xuan Yin Jade Marrow has more than just these uses. It can be used to break through the bottleneck of the peak of the Earth Master realm."
Rong Jiaojiao's eyes lit up immediately as she stared intently at Mo Bai.
Li Li's expression was solemn: "It seems that the demon spirit has set up the Gathering Fiend Array here not only to nurture the demon seed, but also to use the blood fiend energy to pollute these Demon Suppressing Seals and prevent them from recovering."
Old Zhou nodded: "Fortunately, we destroyed the formation in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"However, they probably didn't expect to be able to nurture the Profound Yin Jade Marrow." Mo Bai took out the Profound Yin Jade Marrow, took one for himself, gave one to Elder Li and one to Elder Zhou, and gave the rest to Rong Jiaojiao.
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have found these. Everyone who finds them gets one. We'll each take one, and you can keep your jade seal with the rest."
Rong Jiaojiao asked, "What about your little seal?"
Mo Bai took out his small golden seal and said, "Mine has always been nourished by spiritual energy and has not been damaged."
There were twelve pieces of Xuan Yin Jade Marrow in total. Rong Jiaojiao felt that they had taken too few, so she looked at Li Li and Old Zhou.
“I don’t want it. The Demon-Suppressing Seal is of utmost importance. Now that the Azure Jade Seal has automatically recognized you as its master, you need these jade marrows even more. I’ll give them all to you,” Li Li said firmly.
Old Master Zhou waved his hand and pushed the jade marrow back: "At my age, I can let nature take its course when it comes to breakthroughs. But you, as the first seal holder, bear heavy responsibilities, and this jade marrow will be of greater use to you."
Moved, Rong Jiaojiao no longer refused and solemnly put the jade into her bosom.
She gently stroked the small jade seal with her fingertips, feeling the surging power within it, when she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Zi Ling just swallowed so many demonic seeds, can she withstand it?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Ling immediately jumped onto her shoulder, proudly raising her little head: "Don't worry, Master! My lightning fire can purify demon seeds and convert them into pure energy, so it's fine for you to eat as much as you want!"
As it spoke, it let out a burp and emitted a wisp of purple lightning.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but smile.
Li Li looked up and around: "We need to leave here as soon as possible and find a place to recover our spiritual energy. The commotion just now was too great and may attract more trouble."
The group quickly left the battlefield and found a secluded cave to rest.
Rong Jiaojiao took out the Xuan Yin Jade Marrow and integrated it into the Qingyu Small Seal.
As the chalcedony energy was injected, the dragon pattern on the surface of the seal became clearer, the second dragon pattern solidified completely, and even the outline of the third dragon pattern faintly appeared.
"It really worked!" Rong Jiaojiao exclaimed happily. "If we can gather enough Profound Yin Jade Marrow, it might be able to fully restore the Azure Jade Seal!"
Rong Jiaojiao fed the jade essence three times in a row, but the jade seal stopped absorbing it.
Mo Bai sat cross-legged to the side, rubbing his fingertips against his own small golden seal, and looked thoughtfully at the small jade seal in Rong Jiaojiao's hand: "It seems that it also needs time to absorb energy."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded and put the little seal into the Hidden Spirit Wood in the secret realm. She hoped that the Hidden Spirit Wood could help the little seal recover.
Old Zhou said, "I have seen records about the Demon-Suppressing Seals in ancient books. It is said that the nine Demon-Suppressing Seals correspond to nine different powers. If they can be collected, they can completely suppress the evil spirit."
"Nine kinds of power?" Rong Jiaojiao asked curiously. "What do the jade seal and the black gold seal represent respectively?"
