Chapter 176 Don’t I have any face?
In less than half an hour, the corpse demon was dealt with by Shang Zhiyan, Chi Zheng and the magic soldiers they brought with them, and those puppets that were refined were crushed into blood mist by the powerful magic power.
After cleaning the blood off the Nianzhi Sword, Song Ningshu took back the sword.
Song Ningshu patted Bai Yao on the shoulder and said, "Well done."
"Of course." Bai Yao raised his chin proudly.
"Xingbao, how did you find out?" After Shang Zhiyan explained the matter, he came to Song Ningshu and rubbed her head.
"You've been a great help to my brother."
"What a coincidence." Song Ningshu looked up at him slightly, "Originally, I wanted to go to the Demon Palace to find you, but just as I arrived at the border, I was attacked by a wind beast. Wind beasts are social monsters and usually act in groups. I was curious and found this place."
"You'll know what happens next."
She pointed at Wen Xu beside her and said, "As for Junior Brother Wen, he's an unlucky fellow. He just escaped from the wolf's den and fell into the tiger's mouth."
"When he was first kicked out of the secret realm, he was poisoned by many thunder beasts and turned into a black egg."
"Junior Sister, don't I have any dignity?" Wen Xu said with a resentful look on his face.
Although he has never had much face in front of Junior Sister and the Demon Lord.
Song Ningshu coughed lightly, forgetting that he was still beside her.
"Your Majesty, Old Demon Lord, something is wrong under the corpse refining pool." Rong Lin suddenly stepped forward and said.
Upon hearing this, Shang Zhiyan headed towards the corpse refining pool.
"Brother, I'm going too!"
Shang Zhiyan turned around and said, "Okay, follow me."
Wen Xu followed behind the two of them, together with Rong Lin.
"What did you find?" Shang Zhiyan asked Rong Lin who was half a step behind him.
"After Cheng Ling and I finished dealing with the corpses in the pool, the water level suddenly dropped. A stream of dark blue water emerged from the left side of the pool. Then a pungent smell mixed with the smell of blood emanated, knocking out some of our unsuspecting demon soldiers."
"But after a short while, those demon soldiers who had been knocked unconscious woke up, but they were not fully conscious. You could tell from their expressions that they were abnormally crazy. Moreover, those soldiers attacked us."
"I suggest that the two Lords and the little princess block their sense of smell or put on a protective shield before entering."
Shang Zhiyan fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Chi Zheng walked ahead with his hands behind his back and said, "Maybe I know what it is."
He turned around and looked at Shang Zhiyan, his expression clear: Ask me quickly.
Shang Zhiyan: ...
Shang Zhiyan was speechless, but still fulfilled his wish, "What is it? Master, please tell me."
Song Ningshu pursed her lips and tried to suppress her laughter.
The old demon lord has a lovely personality.
Wen Xu looked at Chi Zheng frequently with surprise in his eyes.
[It turns out that the old demon has this side! ]
Ignoring Wen Xu's gaze, Chi Zheng said, "This is the border between the human and demon races, and also the border between spiritual energy and demonic energy. The spiritual energy and demonic energy repel each other, but also merge with each other, ultimately forming a corrupted aura that is neither demonic nor spiritual energy."
"Rotten Qi is a mixture of spiritual energy and demonic energy that has lost its vitality."
"The rotten air has affected the plants at the border between the two tribes, rendering them barren. It has also affected the minds of the cultivators, causing confusion on their altars. In severe cases, some have even lost their sanity. This is a serious threat."
"The second harm is that it blocks the road between the demons and humans. If the demons want to reach the human territory, they can only go around the monsters and the sea tribes and then reach the human territory."
Song Ningshu was a little confused after hearing this, so he asked directly, "Senior, I have a question."
"ask."
"The intersection of spiritual energy and demonic energy isn't just at the border between humans and demons, but also at Cangtan, where the world of immortal cultivation meets the Yellow Springs Road. The spiritual energy, demonic energy, and even evil energy at Cangtan repel each other, yet no decaying energy forms. Why does decaying energy form at the border between humans and demons?"
"This is because the evil cultivator Wuming, who once ravaged the four realms of immortal cultivation a hundred thousand years ago, attempted to use this evil spirit energy to cultivate, but he became possessed. The evil energy in his body leaked out and merged with the evil spirit energy, forming a corrupted aura."
"The corrupt energy caused him to lose his mind. He went on a killing spree at the border between humans and demons, slaughtering cultivators, demon beasts, and monsters. In the end, it was the Demon God who killed him, but the corrupt energy had already formed, and the Demon God had no way to dispel it."
"So the demon god collected all the corrupt air, refined it into corrupt water, and sealed it at the border between humans and demons."
"The Demon God originally wanted to seek out the Wood God to completely purify the rotten water, but they were invaded by alien races, and both the Demon God and the Wood God perished, leaving the matter unresolved."
"However, no one later discovered the location of the seal, and a hundred thousand years have passed. The seal was supported by the power of the Demon God. With the death of the Demon God, the power of the seal gradually weakened. The Corpse Demon's placement of the corpse refining pool here is probably just a coincidence."
"During the fight just now, I felt something break, but after checking, I didn't find anything, so I didn't take it seriously."
"The corpse demon rebellion is nothing, the rotten water is the real problem." Chi Zheng said with a headache: "If the rotten water turns into rotten air again, the border between humans and demons will be completely wiped out."
"Sealing it is a possible solution, but it's only a middling measure. If we're attacked again, there's no guarantee the corrupt water won't reappear."
Song Ningshu's eyes flickered. Wood God?
Perhaps she could eliminate this hidden danger.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the corpse refining cave.
"Old Master, Your Majesty, Little Princess." General Cheng Ling and others bowed when they saw them come in.
Because of Rong Lin's reminder, several people put on protective shields when they approached the corpse refining pool.
Song Ningshu moved closer and squatted beside the corpse refining pool, observing with curiosity in his eyes.
The water in the corpse refining pool was no longer the red-black color that Song Ningshu and Wen Xu had seen, but had turned into a dark blue-black color.
Bubbles kept bubbling out of the pool, like boiling water.
Shang Zhiyan saw her getting close, so he reached out and pulled her back, "Don't get so close, it's dangerous."
Chi Zheng took a few looks and said, "Zhi Yan, let's seal it together again. If we keep it for a long time, the water will turn into rotten gas."
Shang Zhiyan nodded.
Song Ningshu blinked, "Wait, let me try."
Chi Zheng looked at her, "Do you have a solution?"
Song Ningshu took out the Qing Niao Pearl and said, "Give it a try. If it doesn't work, seal it again. It won't take long."
Qingniaozhu is the sacred object of the God of Wood, and she also has the power of vitality.
"Will it be harmful to you?" Seeing her determined expression, Shang Zhiyan couldn't help but ask.
"No, the Qing Niao Pearl will absorb all the negative energy in the world and transform it into spiritual energy to strengthen itself and cultivate with its master. This is actually beneficial to me."
Seeing her affirmative words, Shang Zhiyan felt relieved, "Then let's give it a try."
My sister never does anything without confidence, and she is not the kind of person who forces herself.
Song Ningshu nodded and injected spiritual power into the Qingniaozhu, driving the Qingniaozhu area to absorb the rotten water in the pool.
After absorbing it for a while, Shang Zhiyan was completely relieved when he saw that Song Ningshu looked normal.
Song Ningshu let the Qing Niao Pearl absorb the energy on its own, then turned to Shang Zhiyan and Chi Zheng and said, "My strength is a bit low, and it will take some time for the Qing Niao Pearl to absorb. I have to wait a while."
