Chapter 31 Quickly Transmigrate! Conquer the Handsome Demon King (37)
Liang Xu nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination: "The library of the Xiuxian sect may have clues to stop the demonization. Let's go there and take a look."
We quickly left this secret room and headed along the hidden passage towards the library of the Xiuxian sect.
My heart was pounding in my chest, and every step I took seemed heavy and difficult.
The darkness in the air seemed to be gradually dissipating, but the uneasiness in my heart continued to grow.
When we arrived at the gate of the library, an old man in a purple robe blocked our way.
He frowned and his eyes were sharp, as if they could penetrate my soul.
This purple-robed old man is the guardian of the ancient books of the immortal cultivation sect and is known for his stubbornness.
"Stop! The library is not a place you can come and go as you please." The tone of the purple-robed old man was full of unquestionable majesty. His eyes scanned back and forth between the two of us, and he was obviously suspicious of our intentions.
"Senior, I have an urgent matter and need to look up ancient books. Time is running out. Please let me pass." I bowed, with a hint of pleading in my voice.
I know that time waits for no one. Every minute of delay increases the possibility that the signs of demonization will spread.
The purple-robed old man showed no sign of relaxing his temper. His brows furrowed even tighter. “The library is a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter without permission, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
Seeing this, Liang Xu stepped forward and said in a cold but firm tone: "Senior, this matter is of great importance. If it is not resolved in time, it may endanger the entire mainland. Please give us a break and let us go in to look for clues."
The purple-robed old man's gaze switched back and forth between me and Liang Xu, obviously weighing the pros and cons.
As time passed, I became increasingly anxious. The black lines on my arms became more and more obvious, as if reminding me that time was running out.
"We don't have time to waste any more." Liang Xu's voice was low and powerful, and his words were like a thunder, piercing the silence around them.
The purple-robed old man's gaze finally fell on me. He spoke slowly, his voice cold and tough: "No, the library is related to the safety of the sect, and no one can enter casually."
Liang Xu: At this moment, I suddenly felt a familiar spiritual power wave coming from the library. That power seemed to be guiding me, looking for something.
"Senior, we have important clues in the library." I said quickly, trying to convince the purple-robed old man again.
However, the purple-robed old man remained unmoved: "I have made the decision, you can leave now."
A hint of determination flashed across Liang Xu's eyes. He gently let go of my hand, turned to look at me, and whispered, "I have a way. Are you ready?"
I nodded, and at this moment all the uneasiness and fear in my heart turned into firm belief.
I took a deep breath and followed Liang Xu closely, silently feeling the fluctuations of spiritual power in my heart, preparing to break into the library and look for clues to stop the demonization.
"Before that, there is one thing we must find first." Liang Xu's voice was low and mysterious. As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly moved towards the side door of the library, and I followed closely behind him, my heart full of anticipation and uneasiness.
I felt a faint but familiar wave of spiritual power coming from deep within the library. It was like an invisible thread, pulling me.
I closed my eyes tightly and concentrated my mind. My spiritual energy flowed through my body like a trickle, and I felt this elusive power.
I suddenly opened my eyes and looked towards the side of the library. Behind a wooden door there, the spiritual power fluctuations were even stronger, as if calling me.
"Liang Xu, there!" I whispered with a hint of excitement in my tone.
He immediately understood and followed me closely. We went around the main entrance and moved carefully towards the side door.
The wooden door looks tightly closed, but it is just a trick. I can feel the spiritual energy behind the door flowing like breathing, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. It is tempting us.
I pushed gently, and the wooden door opened silently, revealing a narrow passage.
The passage was dark and damp, with a faint moldy smell, but this did not stop us from moving forward.
We walked quickly along the passage, and finally, the view in front of us opened up. We had entered the interior of the library, while the old man in purple robe was still guarding outside the main gate, and he was not aware of our intrusion at all.
This clever breakthrough made Liang Xu and I both breathe a sigh of relief, and the anxiety in our hearts was slightly alleviated.
Inside the library, there are many bookshelves filled with various ancient books.
The air is filled with the faint scent of ink, which makes people feel at ease.
We carefully moved between the bookshelves, looking for clues about demonization.
"Who!" A sharp shout broke the silence of the library.
A monk wearing iron armor and a ferocious mask suddenly appeared in front of us.
He held a sharp sword that gleamed with cold light.
"Hand over the ancient books about demonization!" Tiemian Xiutu's voice was hoarse and cold, and he did not hide his purpose at all.
"We don't have time to deal with you!" Liang Xu shouted angrily and took the lead in attacking.
He gathered magic power in his hands, and a black magic shock wave attacked Tiemian Xiu Tu.
Iron-faced Xiu Tu reacted extremely quickly, dodging the attack by leaning sideways. Then, the sword in his hand turned into a beam of golden light and pierced my face.
I dodged to the side, and the golden light brushed past my cheek, causing a stinging sensation.
Tiemian Xiu Tu's attacks continued, his sword energy running wild, coming towards us like a violent storm.
Liang Xu continuously released magic to defend himself, but Tiemian Xiu Tu's strength was obviously superior to ours, and every fight made us feel exhausted.
The surrounding bookshelves were shaken by the aftermath of the battle, and some ancient books fell and scattered on the ground.
Liang Xu frowned as he looked at the scattered ancient books.
At this moment, the black lines on my arms became clearer and clearer, as if responding to the battle, and the cold touch once again reminded me of the urgency of time.
I gritted my teeth and carefully observed Tiemian Xiu Tu's attack, trying to find a flaw in it.
Although his movements were fast, there was always a moment of pause.
My eyes lit up, and I immediately whispered to Liang Xu, "There's a flaw in the connection of his sword moves. Three breaths later, it'll be on the left side!" Liang Xu understood and deliberately made a flaw and staggered back a step.
As expected, Tiemian Xiutu was fooled. In that split second, I seized the opportunity, and the spiritual power in my body suddenly burst out. I flashed to the left side of Tiemian Xiutu like a ghost and hit him hard in the ribs with a palm.
With a crisp "crack" sound and a groan from Tiemian Xiutu, the sword in his hand flew out of his hand and he fell heavily to the ground.
I quickly stepped forward, pressed his acupoints and stopped his actions.
Liang Xu also stopped his attack, walked to my side and asked with concern: "Are you okay?" I shook my head, my eyes fell on the ancient books scattered on the ground, and I felt a little relieved.
After the battle, Liang Xu gently stroked my demonized arm, and the coolness of his fingertips made me feel a little comfortable.
His" I held his hand in return, feeling the warmth of his palm, and a warm current surged in my heart.
