Chapter 225
When Gu Shihan approached the stone platform, several phantoms suddenly appeared around them, transforming into dark creatures of various appearances and attacking them.
Everyone was shocked, but they reacted quickly. They supported each other with their backs, and Gu Shihan held the Purifying Pearl tightly in both hands, trying to use its power to dispel these phantoms.
Duan Siqi continued to cast spells to strengthen the defense circle of the crowd. Mo Yu, Situ Tinglang and others bravely rushed towards the phantom and fought with it. For a moment, the magic light and the dark power intertwined.
After a fierce battle, everyone gradually figured out the pattern of the phantoms. Gu Shihan seized the opportunity and increased the power of the Purifying Pearl to the extreme. A strong light flashed, and all the phantoms disappeared.
Gu Shihan walked forward and opened the box. Inside was a ring emitting blue light.
At this time, the ethereal voice sounded again: "This is the Guardian Ring. There are nine of you, and I will divide it into nine for you. This item can enhance the wearer's fairy power and resist the invasion of dark forces. I hope you will make good use of it."
Gu Shihan and the others did not hesitate. They took the guardian ring and put it on. As soon as they got the guardian ring in their hands, they immediately felt the pure and spiritual power coming from the ring.
"Thank you for your generous gift, senior!" Gu Shihan and the other nine bowed respectfully.
"No need. Sorry for the trouble. The fairy world needs you to deal with this catastrophe!" An ethereal voice sounded.
"Senior, why us? Our cultivation is so low, how can we take on such a responsibility?" Shi Qinghan asked.
"You are extraordinary! You will understand in the future! Leave!" An ethereal voice sounded, and Gu Shihan and the others felt dizzy, and then they flew up.
After everyone steadied themselves, they found themselves in an unfamiliar forest. At this moment, the guardian rings in their hands trembled slightly, as if pointing in a certain direction.
Gu Shihan looked at everyone and said, "This ring seems to have some clues. We might as well follow its guidance." Everyone nodded in agreement and moved forward in the direction indicated by the ring.
Not long after they walked, they heard a miserable cry, and following the sound, they saw a little girl trapped in a trap full of thorns.
Everyone hurriedly cast a spell to rescue the girl. The girl raised her head, and a subtle cunning flashed in her eyes.
She said she lived in a nearby village which was flooded by a dark force and her family members were missing.
Gu Shihan and others decided to go with the girl to have a look. After arriving at the so-called village, they found that there was no one there.
Suddenly, countless shadow puppets appeared around them. It turned out that the girl was a phantom of the dark power, specially luring them here.
Although everyone was shocked, they quickly calmed down. Gu Shihan held the Purifying Pearl in front, and the others cast their strongest spells to form a protective net.
They cooperated with each other and fought against the shadow puppets in an orderly manner. After a fierce battle, the shadow puppets gradually lost, and everyone finally eliminated them all and continued their journey to fight against the dark forces.
They continued walking and soon came to a small town. The town was filled with thick fog, and there was a hint of darkness in the fog. They walked into the town cautiously and found that the streets were quiet and there was no one in sight.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and a group of people in black robes rushed out of the thick fog. These people in black robes were surrounded by dark magic, and their eyes were glowing.
The leading man in black robe sneered: "Do you think it will always be so smooth?" Then he ordered his men to launch an attack.
Gu Shihan took the lead and the Purifying Pearl shone brilliantly. Duan Siqi and others were not to be outdone and cast all kinds of spells.
But the strength of the men in black robes far exceeded that of the enemies they had encountered before, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage.
At the critical moment, Gu Shihan realized that the Guardian Ring had not yet fully exerted its power. She concentrated her energy and guided the power of the ring to combine with the Purifying Pearl.
Suddenly, a super strong purifying light burst out, and the black-robed people were hit by this force, screaming and retreating. Taking this opportunity, everyone fought back and finally repelled the group of black-robed people.
"When will this end? Is there no one else in this fairy world willing to come out and clean up?" Duan Siqi said while drinking spiritual wine.
"Siqi, your words bring up a key question for me. Along the way, besides the monks who were invaded by darkness, have you seen any other normal monks? No! Then where did they go?" Shi Qinghan frowned.
Gu Shihan looked around and said, "See that over there? There is a flash of light from the formation. I think the person is inside the formation."
"So they're just going to stay here and not come out?" Wen Xin asked.
"Come out? They must not come out. We have the bright magic weapon Jade Ruyi, the water of the holy spring, and the merits to protect us. Only then can we walk outside.
They? If they come out, they will only be eroded by darkness. In order not to cause trouble for us, they'd better hide well! There are several wells over there. Let's drop a drop of Holy Spirit Water into each well. "
Everyone acted separately, and when the water of the Holy Spirit dripped into the well, the water began to emit a faint golden light.
Suddenly, the whole town began to shake, cracks appeared on the ground, and dark energy gushed out. Everyone quickly stood firm and prepared for a new battle.
At this moment, a gorgeous portal appeared in the sky, and several white-haired old men walked out of the portal.
One of the elders said, "You have done a great job. Now it is time to gather everyone's strength."
It turned out that these old men had been secretly observing Gu Shihan and others. They represented the high-level immortals who still existed in the fairy world.
The old men led Gu Shihan and others into the portal and came to a mysterious space.
Many monks gathered here. Although they were afraid of the darkness, they were inspired and determined to fight together.
Everyone gathered their strength on the Purifying Pearl and Jade Ruyi, forming an extremely powerful purifying force.
Afterwards, they returned to the town and charged towards the place where the dark aura was the strongest. The dark forces fought back desperately, but were defeated by the united efforts of all.
As the dark forces retreated, the earth began to recover, the buildings in the town regained their luster, the flowers, plants and trees turned green, and seemed to have more vitality and liveliness.
The original loneliness also receded, and those monks who had been hiding came out one after another. There were more smiles on their faces and less sadness. They were grateful and respectful to Gu Shihan and others.
However, Gu Shihan frowned, as she felt that the dark power had not been completely eliminated, but had lurked at a deeper level, waiting for the opportunity to erupt again.
"Don't be happy too soon. The power of darkness has not been eliminated, it has just been hidden. What we have to face will be more difficult." Gu Shihan said solemnly.
"Shi Han, we have the Purifying Pearl, it will lead the way for us, right?!" Wen Xin asked.
