Chapter 80 Demonic Seed
On the floating mountain, in the huge pit created by something falling from the sky.
Jian Anning opened her eyes, looking very weak.
She looked at Lu Fei, Yun Zhongzi, Fan Qingyue, and Jiang Tan who had gathered around her, pointed behind them, and said, "Although I was no match for her, I have severely weakened her. Now it's up to you to take action. As long as you kill this shell of hers, she will be confined to the void and will never be able to return to the human world again."
Everyone was stunned and turned to look behind them, only to see Jian An Ning there.
Her condition was not much better. She was half-kneeling on the ground and even standing up was very difficult.
She had obviously heard what Jian Anning said in the pit, and hurriedly said, "Don't believe her. She is Jia Lan. She just wants to take me back to the void and doesn't want me to come back to the human world. Don't touch her. She looks weak and may have some tricks up her sleeve. I'm the only one who can do it."
Fan Qingyue looked to the left at the person lying in the pit, then looked to the right at the person kneeling on the ground.
Originally, although Jian An Ning and Jia Lan looked exactly the same, they had differences in clothing. But now this difference has been erased, and to anyone who looks at them, they look like two identical people.
However, the being lying in the pit seemed to see through his heart and chuckled as he said, "Of course we are exactly the same. In the beginning, we were both invisible beings. It was only later that we took on human form in order to more conveniently complete our mission."
"I was the first to transform into a human form. Jialan insisted on becoming exactly like me, so it's impossible for you to tell the difference between us."
However, Lu Fei took a few steps back very firmly and walked towards Jian An Ning who was half-kneeling.
"She is Jialan." Lu Fei pointed at the person in the pit and said.
"How do you know?" Jiang Tan said with a frown.
Lu Fei did not explain immediately, but walked to the half-kneeling Jian An Ning and infused her with his spiritual power, trying to help alleviate her injuries.
"Before I died, I begged for a favor from heaven," he said, gazing into Jian Anning's eyes and continuing, "No matter how I reincarnate in the future, I will definitely recognize Anning and find her."
Jian Anning, who was lying in the pit, suddenly burst out with shocking strength. In a moment, she restored her appearance as Jia Lan and said, "By the way, you gave this human the right to recognize you."
"But do you think this is the end?"
Jane Anning's expression suddenly changed.
Jialan stretched out a hand with her five fingers spread out, and there seemed to be an invisible thread wrapped around each of her scallion-white fingers. That thread was not the thread of cause and effect, with blood-colored mist lingering on it. It was more like a puppet string that controlled a puppet.
"The demons from outside the domain have been trying to invade," Jian An Ning said, looking at her, "So if the judge who maintains the order of the heavens also develops thoughts of greed, anger, and ignorance, a demon seed will be born in this world."
"Eradicating the demons is the Judge's second mission."
Jian An Ning pursed her lips, not daring to think about what kind of decision she should make.
At the beginning of ancient times, when the earth was barren, Jialan was with her. Since then, they have experienced countless years, countless changes in the world, and countless eras together.
The reason why she only sealed Jialan before was because she knew that the Judge would not easily become possessed by the devil. Her sister might have just been infected by the invading devilish energy, which led to her drastic change in temperament.
And now, a difficult fact was staring her in the face.
That is, Jialan might not only be infected by the evil spirit, but more likely be directly possessed by the devil.
"After a person becomes possessed by a demon, he is no longer the same person."
She whispered.
But Jia Lan laughed even more arrogantly, even tears came out of his eyes, and said, "How could I be possessed by a demon?"
"My sister is a fair judge. If I become possessed by a demon, won't I be unable to be with her?"
Jian An Ning suddenly looked at her with an expression of disbelief.
"That day, I indeed had thoughts of greed, anger, and ignorance, just like a human being."
On the floating mountain covered with dark clouds, Jia Lan stared at the figures of Jian An Ning and Lu Fei walking away, and silently looked inward at her own soul.
Then, she discovered that a seed full of evil had grown in her soul. The seed was the size of a palm and looked like a coffin nail.
Her sister is the fairest judge. If she is found out, she will definitely kill her.
But she wanted to be with her sister, no matter what the cost.
So Jialan raised her hand and cast a spell, pouring power into her palm, reaching into her soul, and forcibly pulled the demon seed that was like a coffin nail out of her body and soul.
As a result, she was seriously injured and had to recuperate for a long time.
"The demon seed is not in your body," Jian Anning exclaimed, "but that thing can't disappear out of thin air. Where did you hide it?"
"Hehe," Jia Lan laughed even more happily, but with a hint of coldness, she said, "Guess?"
After saying that, she cast a spell to control the puppet strings in her hand that were stained with evil spirits.
The next moment, the spiritual power that had just been input into Jian An Ning to alleviate her injuries turned into a red lotus fire that burned the cause and effect.
Jian An Ning looked at Lu Fei beside her in shock, and at this moment, Lu Fei's eyes were already full of blood.
She finally realized where the abnormality in Lu Fei's spiritual platform came from in the beginning. It was because the demon seed was hidden in his spiritual platform by Jia Lan.
"The Judge cannot be harmed by the Karmic Fire," Jia Lan explained to the other three people on the floating mountain with a low laugh, "Because the Judge is outside of the cycle of reincarnation, he is not affected by cause and effect. Only fools can be harmed by the Karmic Fire."
Jian An Ning instantly spat out another mouthful of blood.
When the Judge descends to the world, he usually creates a temporary corpse. However, Jian Anning's current body is transformed from the Fusang sacred tree, and the karmic fire just happens to restrain the sacred tree.
Jia Lan on the other end was still saying: "I don't care who you are. Since you have occupied my sister's body, then do what she should do, and eliminate demons and defend the way!"
Jian An Ning knew that the judge's mission was to maintain order and destroy the invading foreign demons, but when she looked at Lu Fei's bloodshot eyes, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
How could she possibly attack Lu Fei?
Her mind raced, thinking there must be another way.
Previously, she had explored Lu Fei's spiritual altar. There was something wrong with Lu Fei's spiritual altar. There was no spiritual light that a living being should have. She thought it was because of the demon seed.
Therefore, the demon seed that Jia Lan forcibly implanted into Lu Fei must be in Lu Fei's spiritual altar.
However, she could not detect the existence of the demon species using conventional methods, so she had to take an unconventional approach.
"A Fei," Jian An Ning looked at Lu Fei and said. She didn't know if Lu Fei still had any self-awareness at this moment, but she could only try to say, "I may have another way to remove the demon seed from you."
Lu Fei was silent, the fire of karma swirled around him, carrying a scorching heat.
"I can send a wisp of my soul to penetrate your spirit," she said thoughtfully, "but this requires you to accept me wholeheartedly and not have the slightest will to resist. Otherwise, your soul will be damaged and you will become stupid."
Lu Fei still couldn't see any changes, but the blood color kept surging in his eyes, as if he was fighting with the original body for control of the body.
"Are you willing to believe me?" she whispered again.
"I..." Lu Fei struggled with all her might, only to gain a little breathing space. "Of course I believe you."
"Okay," Jian Anning said, looking at the three people beside her, "I need your help too."
"Master, Qingyue, Xiaotan," she called out to the three of them, and said, "Guard me and keep an eye on Jialan."
The three of them naturally agreed one after another.
Then Jian An Ning was seen sitting cross-legged, her pair of jade hands flying and forming countless hand seals. The next moment, she pressed a finger on Lu Fei's eyebrows.
In an instant, Jian An Ning's figure appeared in Lu Fei's mind.
It was still pitch black here, but there was a lot of thick blood mist.
Jian An Ning rubbed a ball of light in her hand. She wanted to find Lu Fei's spiritual light and find the magic seed.
I don’t know how long it took, but if you look from the outside, you can see that Lu Fei has really reached his limit. Beads of sweat are sliding down his forehead. His expression is ferocious and terrifying, and his eyes are almost bloodshot.
In the spiritual center, Jian An Ning finally discovered something unusual.
In reality, she discovered a very faint light in the endless darkness, and then she saw the huge plant nailed to that spiritual light.
It is pitch black all over, with deep roots, lush branches and leaves, and even large black flowers.
She knew that the demons were a race that relied on desire to survive. What kind of desire could irrigate a tiny seed into such a behemoth?
However, Jane Anning didn't have time to think about it now.
After finding the demon seed, the more important task is to remove it from Lu Fei's spiritual platform.
She calmed herself down, stretched out her hand into the air, and a sickle more than a meter tall appeared in her hand in the form of a shadow.
And she used this phantom to chop off the huge plant.
At the same time, Lu Fei felt an extremely severe headache, which was so painful that he wanted his soul to fly away and never suffer from this world again.
But that’s not all.
The parts that have grown out are easy to remove, but the roots that have taken root are difficult to deal with.
Jian An Ning thought for a while, formed seals with her hands, and placed them on the broken end of the plant. The spiritual power instantly penetrated every root of the plant.
The next moment, all the roots that penetrated Lu Fei's soul were instantly shattered.
Lu Fei felt as if his soul was torn into pieces, as if someone was using thin blades to precisely cut every part of his body.
After finishing her work, Jian An Ning did not stay long and left Lu Fei's spiritual platform in an instant.
Lu Fei was about to fall to the ground.
At this moment, Jia Lan, who had been honest all the time, suddenly jumped up. She turned light into a knife and stabbed it towards Lu Fei's heart, vowing to make this human being she hated the most fall into the underworld.
But Jian An Ning, who had just come out of the spiritual platform, was also very alert and captured her in an instant.
Jian An Ning was afraid that she would attack again and hurt others, so she had to cast a restrictive spell again.
At this point, Jia Lan's strength was completely removed. Now she was like an ordinary person, perhaps even three points weaker, but she still pinched Jian Qingning's neck tightly with her backhand, as if she wanted to use this last bit of strength to kill her completely.
"Give me back my sister!"
As she roared, huge tears could not help but roll down her eyes.
"Where did you hide my sister?"
Jian Qingning sighed deeply, and concealed all expression on his face, turning into a cold and ruthless look, but he reached out and wiped away the tears on Jia Lan's face.
“It’s always been me.”
But Jialan seemed to cry even harder. She said intermittently: "How could you be my sister? My sister said that she would always be with me and would never abandon me."
"I'm always with you, aren't I?" Jane Anning said as she tidied her messy hair. "What on earth have you been thinking about all day?"
Jian An Ning thought, even if Jialan was sealed in the mirror, she still carried the mirror with her.
"But you're unwilling to return to the Land of Nothingness. The body transformed from the sacred Fusang tree can actually block the innate connection between you and me," Jia Lan said, feeling increasingly aggrieved. "You must have fallen in love with that human, and therefore no longer love me."
"But your importance to me cannot be changed," Jane Anning said softly, as if in some mysterious rhythm.
“Pavilions and towers on earth will rise from the ground and then suddenly collapse. The vast sea will turn into mulberry fields, and the mulberry fields will turn into the vast sea. But the sun will still be the sun, and the moon will still be the moon.”
"You will always be my sister."
There was a hint of realization on Jialan's face, and she finally felt relieved. The evil nature that had previously stained her began to fade away.
Yun Zhongzi stepped forward again, pointed at the demonic beasts and cultivators trapped in the formation all over the mountain, and asked Jian Anning, "What should they do?"
Jian Anning looked at Jia Lan and said to Yun Zhongzi, "Perhaps the creatures possessed by demons have a chance to recover."
"But we can't just let them cause trouble in the world, right?" Yun Zhongzi said.
Jian An Ning pondered for a moment, then a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. She said, "I do know of a good place. It's different from the outside world. Jia Lan and I are the only ones who can open the door connecting it to the human world. It's just right to lock them up there."
Jian An Ning formed a seal with one hand, and saw a huge abyss mouth opened in the void, and all the controlled demon cultivators and monsters were sent into the mouth.
Then, the huge mouth disappeared, the wind and clouds dispersed, and it turned out that the moon was already at its zenith.
The moonlight was soft and bright, occasionally mixed with the chirping of cicadas. It turned out to be just an ordinary and quiet night.
