A terrifying air wave exploded from the ruins of the main hall on the top of Qingyun Mountain. Li Mingyue was thrown into the air and staggered in the air.
"What's going on?"
Li Changan frowned and remained silent. Qingyun Mountain began to shake violently, and a thick stone pillar broke through the top of the mountain and stretched into the air.
"What is this?"
Then came the second, the third, and nine stone pillars in a row that emerged from Qingyun Mountain and reached into the sky.
The top of the stone pillar was connected to an iron chain thicker than a person. It stretched and intertwined, and was pulled out from the mountain soil. Along with a bronze coffin at the end, it fell to the ground with a bang.
In just a few breaths, Qingyun Mountain had changed beyond recognition. The Qingyun Mountain Gate, which was thousands of feet in radius, was shattered, and the entire mountaintop collapsed and peeled off. In its place were nine stone pillars extending from the belly of the mountain and a strange bronze coffin.
"The breath of the evil spirit is in the bronze coffin!"
Li Mingyue said that the immortal sword under his feet began to hum, and an extremely sharp yet holy power spread out, and the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to calm down.
"Uncle Master Luo?" Li Changan's gaze fell on a copper pillar, and at the base of the pillar he actually found Luo Liu tied up with iron chains.
Luo Liu lowered his head, his whole body trembling slightly as he listened to Li Changan's voice.
Besides Luo Liu, Li Changan also saw eight other stone pillars, each tied with a cultivator by iron chains. The lowest level of cultivation was at the peak of the Divine Realm. If Luo Liu were awake, he would have recognized one of them. It was the Tianqiu who had greeted him earlier.
"Little kid, were you the ones who broke the Soul Devouring Formation I set up?"
A loud voice sounded, and Li Changan saw that there was a middle-aged man with disheveled hair sitting cross-legged near the bronze coffin.
The middle-aged man raised his head, his rough face full of hostility, and his eyes flashed with a strange red light.
As expected, he was affected by the evil spirit.
Li Changan gritted his teeth. Under the influence of the evil spirit, practitioners could easily become extreme and violent, and the desires that were originally suppressed in the deepest part would be exposed bit by bit.
Although Xiao Dingtian was not controlled by the evil spirit, he was more or less influenced by it and was no longer the former headmaster of Qingyun Mountain.
"Do you know what you're doing?"
Li Changan stood far away, staring at the bronze coffin behind Xiao Dingtian.
"If I'm guessing correctly, this bronze coffin was made by your Qingyun Mountain ancestors to seal the evil spirit. How dare you go against your ancestors' wishes and try to take the evil spirit!"
These nine iron chains obviously have the function of sealing the town, but now, they seem to have been modified.
"Xiao Dingtian, release my uncle and reseal the bronze coffin, and I, Taixuan, will spare your life." Li Changan narrowed his eyes, "Otherwise, I will bury you and this bronze coffin together on Qingyun Mountain!"
"Hahahaha...you little brat, how shameless of you to be so arrogant!"
Xiao Dingtian was not afraid at all. "You must be Li Changan from Taixuan Jiufeng, right? You actually have the guts to find your way here. You really have some skills. But you are just a mere foundation-building cultivator, and you think you dare to threaten me?"
Xiao Dingtian's eyes swept over Li Mingyue and paused for a moment on the sword under her feet.
"You are right. This bronze coffin was made a thousand years ago. It was originally used to seal the evil spirit in Qingyun Mountain. But I later learned that it not only sealed the evil spirit, but also the body of Li Jiuzhong."
"Li Jiuzhong is an immortal who has survived the tribulation of thunder. How can such a rare immortal body be wasted here?"
"So, I planned to use the Soul Devouring Formation to devour the power of living beings and resurrect Li Jiuzhong. Haha, for this purpose, I prepared for a full ten years, even sacrificing the entire Qingyun Mountain. But I didn't expect that at the last moment, you, a little brat, would discover it."
Xiao Dingtian laughed crazily.
Li Changan frowned, he sensed an extremely dangerous aura. If it weren't for the sword energy given by Zong Baiye as a protection, he would definitely not have the courage to stand here and face a mad Anti-Void Realm cultivator.
However, from what Xiao Dingtian said just now, he had another guess.
"Xiao Dingtian, have you practiced some special soul technique? Or... Tianyin Daojing?"
Xiao Dingtian's tone faltered, and he immediately sighed, "Li Changan's name is well-known. Others say he's a loser who can't cultivate. He's been practicing Qi for a hundred years, but he's been hiding in the Nine Peaks. Now it seems like all that's nonsense."
Xiao Dingtian sneered, "It seems that the Tianyin Dao Sutra that I lost has fallen into your hands. You are very smart. It seems that your guess is correct."
Li Changan felt a little depressed.
"You want to use the soul method of the Tianyin Dao Sutra to make your Yang Shen leave the body and take over Li Jiuzhong's immortal body?"
It was only after practicing this soul technique that Li Changan gradually realized the mystery of this soul technique. One of the secret methods is that he can separate his yang spirit from his body and be reborn in another life form without any side effects.
If Xiao Dingtian practiced this secret method, he would naturally understand the method of taking over another person's body.
Then, the purpose of resurrecting Li Jiuzhong's immortal body becomes very clear.
"Have you ever thought about how to deal with evil spirits? Do you think the evil spirit that was able to evade the entire Northern Continent's encirclement back then is something you can subdue?"
Li Changan asked loudly.
Xiao Dingtian didn't care, and there was a strange light flashing in his scarlet eyes.
"Don't worry. Since I dare to act like this, how could I not have a way to deal with it? When the evil spirit wakes up, your Taixuan Sect will naturally worry about cleaning up the aftermath..."
Li Changan was stunned.
What did he mean by this? Would the evil spirit, after awakening, threaten the Taixuan Sect? Why?
Wasn't Xiao Dingtian himself the first person the evil spirit threatened, as he attempted to possess Li Jiuzhong's body? Could he have another method to shift the blame for the evil spirit onto the Taixuan Sect?
Li Changan couldn't figure it out, but he was sure that this guy was not lying.
After ten years of preparation, how could we have missed such an important key?
"We can't delay any longer. We must deal with Xiao Dingtian first. We can't let him go on!"
Li Changan said to Li Mingyue, and Li Mingyue, who was originally hovering in the air, moved, and a sword light suddenly flashed out and slashed towards Xiao Dingtian.
Xiao Dingtian sat cross-legged on the spot and punched out. The terrifying fist light exploded in the air and directly knocked Li Mingyue away.
"Don't hold back! Take out all the treasures you've got, or we'll all die here!" Li Changan said anxiously, while telling Qiyue, "Hurry up and contact the sect to see if those guys have arrived. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid something big will happen!"
Qiyue said "oh" and quickly retreated. Her cultivation level was only at the Xinluo realm, which was much lower than Li Mingyue's, so she could not help at all.
Li Mingyue gritted her teeth and suddenly stretched out her finger to touch her brow. A brilliant light overflowed from her brow and landed on the Gentleman Sword.
In an instant, a terrifying force suddenly appeared and landed on the top of Qingyun Mountain.
"Members of the Li clan, respectfully invite the sword spirit to slay the evil!"
