This is it!
The key to breaking the ban!
He extended his trembling finger and, following the method he remembered, pointed to one of the inconspicuous runes.
As soon as he touched it with his fingertips, the entire alchemy furnace trembled violently!
All the runes on the furnace instantly lit up, emitting a dazzling crimson light!
An even richer and more malevolent aura surged forth from the alchemy furnace like a tidal wave, instantly filling the entire secret chamber!
"not good!"
Xiao Feng's expression changed drastically. He felt as if the immortal power within his body had encountered its nemesis, and its circulation became sluggish!
The intensity of this evil energy far exceeded his expectations!
Just then, the lid of the alchemy furnace was suddenly pushed open with a bang!
A fist-sized, jet-black pill, its surface covered in blood vessels and still slightly pulsating, slowly rose into the air! A nauseatingly sweet and foul odor permeated the air, accompanied by eerie sounds like the cries of an infant!
"Blood Soul Demon Pill!" Xiao Feng exclaimed.
It hasn't been long, and this guy has already gone so far as to start refining demonic pills! He's absolutely insane!
This thing is a demonic pill that Qiu Mobai refined using the essence and souls of countless living beings! Once consumed, one's cultivation will skyrocket, but one will also be completely condemned to the demonic path, never to be reincarnated!
What made Xiao Feng's scalp tingle even more was that he sensed that this newly formed Blood Soul Demon Pill seemed to... be alive!
Its malevolent aura was greedily locking onto him, as if it wanted to devour him!
Xiao Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around sharply, and created a gust of wind.
Rather than being chased to death by this old guy like a rabbit, we might as well take a gamble!
Filled with boundless rage and killing intent, Qiu Mobai rushed to within three feet of Xiao Feng in an instant. His usually refined face was now twisted into a ferocious grimace, his eyes seeming to want to skin Xiao Feng alive.
"You little beast, you're asking for death!"
Qiu Mobai's voice was hoarse and filled with violence. His withered hand reached out like an eagle's claw, aiming straight for Xiao Feng's throat!
Xiao Feng sneered inwardly: "Hmph, old codger, finally couldn't hold back? I'm a transmigrator, I know all about your dirty secrets! Today I'll make you perform a spectacular explosion in front of everyone, let's see how you pretend to be a pillar of the righteous path! You won't let me into the study? Fine, then I'll force you to prove yourself with demonic arts!"
The thought had barely formed in his mind when Xiao Feng advanced instead of retreating, his hands suddenly forming hand seals, and his immortal power, which, while not particularly powerful, was exceptionally pure, surged wildly within him!
"Water Curtain Sky Splendor!" he shouted, his voice echoing in the narrow corridor.
In an instant, a pale blue halo suddenly spread out from Xiao Feng as the center!
Countless crystal-clear, light blue specks of light appeared out of thin air, like billions of stars, instantly intertwining and coalescing!
A colossal, shimmering, azure light curtain appeared out of thin air, as if the Milky Way had been poured down, carrying an overwhelming and unstoppable pressure as it crashed down upon Qiu Mobai!
Above the light screen, water rippled and runes appeared and disappeared, exuding a holy and majestic aura, illuminating the entire dark corridor!
The sheer size and purity of the water curtain far surpass those of ordinary disciples!
This sudden change caused Qiu Mobai's pupils to shrink sharply!
He never expected that Xiao Feng, whom he considered like an ant, could actually unleash such exquisite and powerful magic!
Although the Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor is a basic spell, the power that Xiao Feng displayed when he used it was comparable to that of an inner sect elite!
What alarmed Qiu Mobai even more was that the pure water-based spiritual power contained in this spell had a natural restraining effect on his cultivation of yin and evil demonic arts!
Water overcomes fire, and righteousness overcomes evil!
"Damn it! How could this little beast..."
Qiu Mobai was filled with shock and anger, but as a seasoned veteran, he reacted quickly.
Just as the enormous curtain of water was about to crash down on him, the demonic energy within him erupted instantly!
"roar!"
A low growl, inhuman in sound, emanated from deep within Qiu Mobai's throat. Black energy surged around him, billowing like ink, enveloping his entire body! On his withered hands, black nails grew several inches long, gleaming with a chilling light!
He's nowhere near looking like a sage; he's clearly an old demon!
"Break for me!"
Qiu Mobai shouted sharply, his withered claws, imbued with thick black energy, fiercely grabbing at the descending water curtain!
"Sizzle—!"
A piercing scraping sound rang out, like boiling oil being poured onto a soldering iron!
The moment the black mist came into contact with the water curtain, a violent energy conflict erupted!
The air in the entire corridor seemed to be ignited, becoming scorching and violent!
The water curtain trembled violently, its light flickering, as if it might shatter at any moment.
This guy has practiced demonic arts and is much more powerful than before!
"You little beast, you must die today!"
Qiu Mobai's voice echoed in the empty corridor, filled with hysterical madness!
This time, he was truly determined to kill!
However, just as he was about to give chase, a commotion arose behind him.
The sound of footsteps, accompanied by exclamations and whispers, surged in like a tide.
It turned out that the Huayun Sect and Xianyun Sect disciples had arrived one after another after hearing the commotion.
They were stunned by what they saw as soon as they turned the corner.
The dilapidated walls were still shedding dust, and a chilling aura filled the air, completely different from ordinary spiritual energy, carrying a sense of violence and destruction.
What horrified them the most was the Immortal Cloud Sect Leader standing there—Qiu Mobai!
At this moment, Qiu Mobai no longer possessed even a trace of his former ethereal and otherworldly demeanor.
His face was ashen, his eyes were bloodshot, and black energy swirled around him, rolling endlessly like solid ink.
What's even more chilling is that a strange, twisted, dark red line has appeared on his smooth forehead at some unknown time!
The patterns seemed to be alive, pulsating slightly and emitting an eerie light!
"What...what is that?"
A young disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sect spoke in a trembling voice, pointing his finger at Qiu Mobai's forehead as if he had seen some kind of terrifying monster.
"Magic runes! It's magic runes! There's no mistake!"
A more knowledgeable disciple of the Huayun Sect nearby exclaimed in shock, his face turning deathly pale: "Sect Leader Qiu... he's actually a demonic cultivator?!"
"Really? How could the sect leader be a demonic cultivator?!"
"No wonder that aura felt so eerie just now..."
"Impossible! Our Immortal Cloud Sect is a reputable and righteous sect, how could our sect leader..."
The crowd erupted in chaos!
The disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sect were all ashen-faced, their eyes filled with shock, fear, and disbelief.
Their revered sect leader, the usually dignified and upright leader, actually possessed demonic markings and cultivated demonic arts.
This completely overturned their understanding; the pillar of their faith seemed to collapse at that moment!
Many people instinctively stepped back, looking at Qiu Mobai as if he were a monster.
The disciples of Huayun Sect were equally shocked, but their reaction was more of an "I knew it" kind of anger.
