Chapter 179 Phantom
Gu Shihan rushed over and injected her own fire spiritual power into the tree trunk. Her fire spiritual power was different from that of other cultivators. It contained some of the incinerating power of the Red Lotus Karma Fire. Naturally, its power was not comparable to that of ordinary fire spiritual power.
As the fire spirit power approached, the tree trunks began to tremble violently, and then all the black shadows disappeared.
"It's not advisable to stay here for long." Shi Qinghan said.
The three continued to go deeper into the forest, and vaguely saw an ancient castle appear before them, and an even stronger evil aura permeated around the castle.
The three of them looked at each other and slowly walked towards the castle. "Brother, senior brothers, pay attention. What we see are all illusions. Don't be fooled by this scene. Remember, we are here to find the black shadow. Don't take anything else to heart!"
"Don't worry, sister!" Shi Qinghan nodded in response.
Mo Yu also nodded seriously: "Junior sister, Senior Brother knows it!"
As they walked into the castle, a powerful force came over them, trying to invade their minds.
The three of them hurriedly used their spiritual power to resist, and in less than ten breaths, their foreheads were gradually covered with sweat.
Mo Yu took the first step and slashed forward with a sword energy, but it seemed to hit an invisible barrier and bounced back.
Shi Qinghan formed seals with his hands and muttered something, and a layer of fiery red shield covered the three people.
Gu Shihan concentrated his energy and tried to find the flaw in this power.
Suddenly, the castle gate slowly opened, and a sinister laugh came from inside.
A black-robed figure loomed, and a bone-chilling voice rang out: "Do you think you can ruin my plan so easily? Dream on! Since you are here, then stay!"
Gu Shihan shouted angrily: "No matter who you are, if you create resentment and harm the world, I will not let you go today!"
As she spoke, she rushed towards the man in black robe with flames burning in her hands.
Mo Yu and Shi Qinghan followed closely behind, and the three of them worked together to break through the restriction at the door.
The man in black robe was horrified. He didn't expect them to be so tenacious. The fire gave him a sense of danger of destruction.
The man in black turned and fled deep into the castle. The three of them chased him in without hesitation. The castle was dark and damp, full of all kinds of unknown dangers, but they only wanted to catch the man in black and eliminate the hidden dangers.
The three men chased the man in black robe closely. Traps and mechanisms popped up from time to time along the way. Shi Qinghan waved his sword to block the hidden weapons one after another.
Gu Shihan used his spiritual power to sense the movements of the man in black robes, "He's just ahead at the left turn!"
Mo Yu quickened his speed and rushed forward, but was blocked by a sudden ice wall.
Shi Qinghan put his hands on the ice wall, trying to melt it. "There's something strange about this ice wall. My spiritual power can only suppress it temporarily."
Gu Shihan's eyes lit up, "Let me try."
She mobilized the hottest fire power in her body and hit the ice wall, which gradually cracked and eventually shattered.
At this time, the man in black robe had disappeared, leaving only a black crystal emitting faint light floating in the air.
Just as Gu Shihan was about to reach out and touch him, Mo Yu quickly stopped him, "Be careful, there might be a scam!"
However, it was too late. The crystal released a powerful suction force and sucked Gu Shihan in.
Mo Yu and Shi Qinghan were horrified to see Gu Shihan trapped in darkness inside the crystal, surrounded by terrifying resentful spirits.
Mo Yu clenched his fists and said, "We must rescue our junior sister!" Then he and Shi Qinghan rushed towards the crystal, trying to break it and rescue Gu Shihan.
Mo Yu and Shi Qinghan continued to attack the black crystal, but the crystal was extremely hard and each attack only caused a ripple.
Shi Qinghan frowned, "This won't work. We have to find another way."
Mo Yu was extremely anxious, his eyes fixed on Gu Shihan who was struggling in pain inside the crystal.
Suddenly, Shi Qinghan seemed to have thought of something. He took out a talisman from his arms, muttered something, and then stuck the talisman on the crystal.
The talisman instantly emitted a light orange-gold light and slowly merged into the crystal.
Shi Qinghan actually didn't know what this talisman was. It belonged to Gu Yufei, the former owner of the mustard seed space, and he happened to use it today.
The talisman entered the crystal, but the crystal seemed to dislike the talisman and began to shake violently. The resentful spirit inside also became restless.
Mo Yu seized the opportunity and attacked with all his strength again. This time he concentrated his golden spiritual power on the tip.
“Squeak!”
"puff!"
With two crisp sounds, the crystal finally broke.
Gu Shihan fell from the crowd, and Shi Qinghan rushed forward to catch her.
But at this time, Gu Shihan's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his lips were black and purple.
Mo Yu walked forward to check and said worriedly: "Her soul has been partially eroded by the resentful spirit, but she can still be saved. Let's leave here first and make plans later."
After saying that, Mo Yu picked up Gu Shihan and quickly left this strange castle with Shi Qinghan.
Gu Shihan seemed to have had a very long dream in a daze. In the dream, there were all kinds of people's faces and their obsessions.
The three of them came to a safe valley. Mo Yu gently put Gu Shihan down and looked at her worriedly.
Shi Qinghan was rummaging through his belongings, trying to find something that could save Gu Shihan.
Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds and a dark shadow flew towards them quickly.
It turned out that the evil power in the castle was chasing after them, and it was unwilling to see its prey being rescued.
Mo Yu and Shi Qinghan were on full alert, and Mo Yu protected Gu Shihan behind him.
The black shadow gradually took shape, and it turned out to be a huge soul-devouring beast.
Shi Qinghan threw out a few talismans in his hands, temporarily trapping the soul-devouring beast.
Mo Yu took the opportunity to cast a powerful spell to attack, but found that the Soul-Devouring Beast absorbed the power of the spell and became even more powerful.
At the critical moment, Gu Shihan moved his fingers slightly.
After experiencing various obsessions in her dreams, her soul unexpectedly gained a kind of purifying power.
With the help of Jingxin Youlian, Gu Shihan was able to absorb the soul power of the vengeful spirits, and her soul was slowly becoming stronger.
Misfortunes often come with blessings, and blessings often come with misfortunes. This is absolutely true. Gu Shihan has got a great opportunity.
She slowly opened her eyes, saw the dangerous situation before her, and subconsciously released the power of purification.
The purifying power along with the red lotus fire enveloped the Soul Devouring Beast, which let out screams and eventually turned into nothing.
Mo Yu hugged Gu Shihan in surprise, and Shi Qinghan also breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them hugged each other, feeling fortunate to have survived this disaster.
The three of them looked back at the castle, but there was no shadow there. It was just a wasteland with little grass or trees.
Shi Qinghan frowned and said worriedly: "It seems that what we thought was right, it was really an illusion. But what kind of existence can mess up the spirit world? How can we make this world peaceful?"
"I'm not sure. Such a situation would not have formed suddenly. He must have been prepared for a long time. Then what is his purpose? Is it to destroy the spiritual world?" Gu Shihan said.
