Chapter 1031 Let's All Die
"She's going to self-destruct her natal lotus!" Yue Hanchuan shouted, his sword cutting a silver arc. "Back off!"
The Xuan Yue Sword in Song Wanbai's hand suddenly trembled violently, and the formation talisman emitted a dazzling blue light.
He thrust his sword into the ground. "Demon Sealing Formation: Activate!"
A huge formation suddenly appeared on the ground, trapping Fuhua in the center.
But the black lotus had expanded to its limit, and the shock wave formed by the demonic energy tore cracks in the formation.
"It's too late!" Lan Xiaoxiao's jade hairpin exploded, transforming into a sky full of blue light that reinforced the formation. "Mu Yuan! Quickly use the Yao Chi secret method!"
Mu Yuan staggered forward, a pure white lotus condensed at her fingertips.
Her voice was hoarse. "Fuhua...you've been deceived. The duty of a saint is to protect Yaochi. Saint Fuyue..."
"Shut up!" Fuhua laughed crazily, and a black lotus suddenly bloomed. "Go to hell!"
At this critical moment, Mu Yuan suddenly crushed the jade pendant at her waist, and a golden light shot straight into the sky.
Fuhua's voice suddenly became sharp: "The distress talisman from the Yaochi Holy Land? What a pity..."
Before she finished speaking, the sound of a clear sword suddenly came from the night sky, and a sword energy that spanned the sky and the earth directly split the gorgeous natal lotus in half.
A lazy male voice came from the smoke and dust: "I heard that someone bullied my junior sister?"
Luo Li looked up and saw a sloppy man holding a wine gourd hanging in the moonlight, with a token on his waist that read "Master of the Seventh Peak of Yaochi".
Mu Yuan was delighted, "Brother, you've come out of seclusion!"
The man flicked the gourd with his fingertips, and the wine transformed into a rain of swords, crushing the remaining demonic energy. "The Immortals' Gathering is imminent, and I came out of retreat three days early. Unexpectedly, I smelled blood the moment I emerged."
He glanced at Fuhua's festering body, and the wine gourd suddenly let out a dragon roar. "You used forbidden techniques to refine the magic core, and you dared to touch the natal lotus of my Yaochi disciple. Fuhua, do you know your crime?"
Vanity's voice was filled with indignation, "You know your guilt?! What crime have I committed?!"
"Brother, be careful! She is going to burn the magic core!" Mu Yuan suddenly pounced on Fuhua, and the white lotus in her palm pierced the black lotus in his heart.
Fuhua let out an inhuman scream, and the demonic energy around her was running wildly, but suddenly the mark of the saint appeared between her eyebrows, and the soft light was like a chain that wrapped around her scattered demonic energy.
"With the Saint's blood, I will wash away your sins of falling into demonic possession." Mu Yuan bled again from all seven orifices, but revealed a relieved smile. "Before Saint Fu Yue died, she asked the Great Elder to plant this Pure World Lotus in your natal lotus core... Look, it's blossomed."
Fuhua lowered his head and saw that the black lotus on his heart had sprouted a tender stem in the soft light, and a half-black and half-white two-colored lotus flower bloomed at the top.
She suddenly let out a sobbing cry, and the right side of her face, where the magic pattern had faded, revealed her original elegant appearance: "Sister... She said she would wait for me..."
The man raised his hand and waved it lightly, and a golden light wrapped around Vanity and flew into the air.
Luo Li then discovered that he was standing on a golden lotus leaf, with runes glowing in every vein - it was actually a spiritual weapon made from the rhizome of the Yao Chi Holy Lotus.
"Take him back and let the Elders Council judge him." The man dropped the wine gourd and suddenly glanced at Luo Li. A gleam flashed in his cloudy eyes. "Are you someone who won't leave the city?"
Luo Li nodded, "Exactly. Don't leave the city, Luo Li."
The wine gourd at the man's fingertips suddenly burst into brilliant golden light, and runes shuttled through the wine like dragons. "No wonder he can break the magic core. It turns out to be the young master of Bulicheng."
He suddenly grinned, revealing his fangs. "It's been a while since we've had any guests at the Seven Peaks. I wonder if Young Master Luo would be willing to go for a couple of drinks?"
Mu Yuan staggered and was supported by Yue Hanchuan. A smile appeared on his pale face: "Senior brother is trying to trick me into drinking again..."
He fainted before he could finish his words.
The man clicked his tongue and touched her brow with his fingertips. Golden light turned into a lotus leaf and stuck to the wound.
He raised his hand and waved, and the golden lotus leaves under his feet instantly lifted Mu Yuan up: "Send her to the Holy Lotus Pond to recuperate first."
Luo Li looked at the mess on the ground and asked, "How do we deal with the evil spirits and bones here?"
The man tossed the wine gourd and snapped his fingers. Golden lotus leaves suddenly spread out, sucking the shattered holy lotus beads and bones into the pond. "The holy lotus pond will naturally purify the evil spirit."
He shook the wine gourd, "But you——"
Suddenly he looked at Luo Li and the others, "If you hadn't broken the Demon Gathering Core and dragged it to me, Mu Yuan would have been in serious trouble."
Lan Xiaoxiao rubbed her numb wrist and snorted, "If I had known the Yaochi Holy Land was so treacherous, I would never have gotten involved in this mess."
The man suddenly laughed out loud: "Young lady, you are quite straightforward. However, this flashy incident is indeed my fault, Yao Chi."
The golden light on his fingertips condensed into a jade token, and he raised his hand and handed it to Luo Li, "If you need Yao Chi in the future, you can come to me with this token."
Yue Hanchuan raised an eyebrow as he took it, pointing his sword at the token on the man's waist: "I haven't asked for your name yet, Senior."
"The Seventh Peak Master is Mu Zhong." The man burped and suddenly looked up at the sky. "The Immortal Gathering will end in ten days. If you're not in a hurry to leave, why not stay and watch the ceremony?"
He shook the gourd at Luo Li and said, "My Seven Peaks Drunken Immortal Brew is so delicious that even the great lords praised it after tasting it."
Luo Li curled her lips and smiled, "No need for wine for now, besides, we are here to attend the Immortal Gathering."
"Yeah, I was confused." Mu Zhong pressed his head.
At this time, the disciples of the Seventh Peak also arrived, "Peak Master, I failed to detect the danger tonight in time. Please punish me!"
Mu Zhong sighed, "Never mind, it's not your fault. Go back now and inform the elders who haven't yet gone into seclusion about what happened tonight."
"Yes, Peak Master!"
Mu Zhong said again: "Young Master Luo, I still need to go back and take care of some things, so I'll take my leave first."
Luo Li reminded: "Master Mu, we met people from the Demon God Temple on the way to Yaochi Holy Land."
Hearing this, Mu Zhong's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Luo Li and said solemnly: "Thank you."
After thanking him, he left quickly.
After a while, the holy pool also purified the evil spirit in the place. Apart from the mess in the inn, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
Fortunately, this inn is a bit remote and there are not many guests, so the owner's losses will naturally be borne by the Yaochi Holy Land.
Yue Hanchuan frowned and said, "Then what about that Vanity Saint?"
Song Wanbai yawned, "The Seventh Peak Master is here. They must value the safety of their Saint Girl more than we do."
"That's right," Lan Xiaoxiao sighed, "What's going on?"
Luo Li stretched lazily, "We definitely can't stay in this inn anymore, let's find another one."
This time, they directly found the most prosperous inn in the center of Yaochi City and stayed there.
Everyone said hello and went to rest.
The next day, early morning.
Luo Li opened the window and saw the morning mist of Yaochi City spreading over the bluestone streets.
Lan Xiaoxiao came in with her hair in a mess, holding two strings of sugar-coated hawthorns. "Look! They're selling Holy Lotus Lanterns on the street. They say there's a blessing lantern festival tonight."
