Chapter 177
The Wuhua Sect had relatively large numbers of people coming out, while the Tianyi Sect had less than twenty people coming out. The Jian Sect was slightly better, with twenty-five people coming out alive, while some other sects and families had less than ten people coming out alive.
"Venerable Danhua, what happened to the Tianshui secret realm this time? Among the hundred people from our sect who entered, only so many came back alive. I wonder what happened in the secret realm!" Qi He, a divine cultivator from the Tianyi Sect, had a bad look on his face.
Venerable Danhua glanced at Qi He calmly, looked around, and said: "My disciples said that the magic fog appeared in the Tianshui Secret Realm, and the monsters were demonized. Of course, human cultivators were also demonized.
Most of the people who didn't come out became food for the demonized monsters. Perhaps there are demonized monks who have left the secret realm, so everyone should be more careful.
Once the demonized monk leaves the secret realm, our world will no longer be peaceful."
After hearing what Venerable Danhua said, everyone looked solemn.
Gu Shihan felt vaguely uneasy, she always felt that there was a bigger conspiracy behind this matter.
At this time, Mo Yu said softly: "Junior Sister, no matter what, let's go back to the sect first." Gu Shihan nodded.
Just as the various sects were preparing to return, the sky suddenly darkened, and a black crack appeared among the dark clouds, from which a group of demonized monks emitting an evil aura poured out.
"Sure enough, they caught up with us!" Venerable Danhua snorted coldly and rushed forward first. Seeing this, all the cultivators also joined the battle.
Gu Shihan tightly grasped the sword in his hand and cooperated with Mo Yu and Shi Qinghan to kill the enemy.
However, there were so many demonized monks that gradually everyone was unable to resist, and many divine monks had to join the battle.
After being corrupted by the black fog, many monks swung their swords to kill their fellow disciples and family members.
"Not good! Everyone, activate the isolation talisman and don't let the black fog get close to us!" Venerable Danhua raised his voice and warned.
Gu Shihan frowned slightly. The demonized monks seemed to never get tired, and their numbers were increasing. Why?
She withdrew from the battle circle and saw at a glance that Venerable Danhua was frantically creating a barrier at the crack, but black gas was still pouring out. Could it be that the source of power for these demonized monks came from that black crack?
Gu Shi didn't have time to think about it. She made up her mind, used all her strength to deal with the demonized monk who was blocking her, and rushed towards the crack.
After Gu Shihan approached the crack, he used his own spiritual power as a guide and made a move with his fingers.
Yes, she was drawing talismans, and golden dots appeared in the air. What Gu Shihan was drawing was the golden rune that she had just received as a reward for the task.
As she moved her fingers, a rune diagram appeared in front of her eyes, and she tried to push the rune diagram towards the space crack.
One after another, demonized monks rushed over to stop them. Venerable Danhua snorted coldly, waved his sleeves to wave them away, and said gently: "Qingluo, just go ahead and do it. Your master will protect you!"
Gu Shihan nodded slightly, gathered the spiritual power in his hands, and pushed hard. The rune pattern fell towards the crack. Only a few flashes of golden light were seen, and the crack slowly shrank and disappeared.
The demonized monks lost their power and gradually collapsed. They were soon killed by the monks and burned to ashes in a fire.
Gu Shihan fainted due to exhaustion of spiritual energy. Mo Yu rushed forward and caught her before Venerable Danhua, with a worried look on his face.
Mo Yu hugged Gu Shihan and shouted, "Master! Junior Sister fainted."
Venerable Danhua came over quickly, stretched out his hand to feel for Gu Shihan's pulse, took out a pill and stuffed it into Gu Shihan's mouth, saying, "Mo Yu, Mo Chen, take Qing Luo back to the sect, leave this to us!"
Mo Yu nodded in agreement and hurried to the sect gate anxiously. Shi Qinghan stood by to protect him, alert to any remaining danger.
After returning to the sect, Mo Yu placed Gu Shihan in his own residence and took care of him personally.
Gu Shihan was in a coma for three days and three nights before he slowly woke up.
She was still very weak after waking up. Seeing Mo Yu, who looked a little haggard standing by her bed, she was deeply moved.
The peace did not last long. Soon after, news came from various sects that many disciples had disappeared inexplicably and were suspected to have been secretly abducted by a mysterious force.
When Gu Shihan heard about this, he insisted on participating in the investigation despite the fact that his body had not yet fully recovered.
Mo Yu couldn't persuade her, so he could only accompany her with Shi Qinghan.
During the investigation, they found clues pointing to an ancient ruins. When they stepped into the ruins, a powerful forbidden force enveloped them.
At this moment, a mysterious voice sounded: "Do you think you can rest easy after preventing it once? This is just the beginning."
Gu Shihan, Mo Yu, and Shi Qinghan gripped their weapons tightly, ready for battle.
Gu Shihan replied loudly: "No matter who you are, you will not succeed in harming the world of immortal cultivation."
A sneer sounded: "What a big tone! No one can stop me from doing anything I want." As the voice fell, a black shadow flashed and pounced towards the three people.
Mo Yu took the lead and blocked the black shadow's attack with the intersecting sword shadows.
Shi Qinghan took the opportunity to swing his sword to make up for it, but it was to no avail.
Gu Shihan closed his eyes and sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him, and discovered that this forbidden force was suppressing his own spiritual power.
She bit her tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the sword, forcibly increasing her spiritual power to break through some restrictions, and then threw the gunpowder in her hand at the black shadow.
The black shadow disappeared in a flash, leaving only one sentence: "This is just a small warning to you, I will be back!"
The three of them looked at each other, knowing that the situation was difficult.
Gu Shihan frowned: "It seems that we must find a way to break the restriction of this relic, otherwise we can only passively take the beating."
Mo Yu agreed: "I just noticed that the runes in the western corner are a little strange. Maybe that is the key."
So the three of them walked towards the west corner, ready to explore the secrets hidden behind the rune and see if they could solve the mystery and deal with the unknown threat.
In the space, Yutong and Xingbai were flipping through the ancient books collected in the space, trying to find some hints or corresponding methods in them.
Gu Shihan, Mo Yu and Shi Qinghan came to the western corner and found that the runes were flashing with a faint blue light.
Gu Shihan reached out to touch it, but the rune bounced him back, and he felt a sharp pain in his fingers.
At this moment, Yu Tong in the space shouted in surprise: "Found it! This ancient book records that to lift this restriction, one needs to sacrifice blood to the sky, and then use the spiritual power of people with the same spiritual roots to guide it." Everyone suddenly realized.
Shi Qinghan stepped forward: "My spiritual roots belong to fire, which matches the aura of this relic. Let me do it."
After that, he cut his wrist, and blood dripped onto the ground. Mo Yu and Gu Shihan simultaneously activated their spiritual power and injected it into Shi Qinghan's body to help him channel his power.
As power continued to be injected, the rune shone brightly and then gradually dimmed.
The ban was finally lifted, and the oppressive feeling around disappeared. Before everyone could relax, the mysterious black shadow appeared again, with a few more helpers beside him.
"You are quite capable of breaking the restriction. But you will still die here today. I have gathered the power of the five elements, and there are only three of you. I will see how you break through and deal with our attack."
