Chapter 1104 Magic Crystal
Luo Li acted decisively, and the spiritual power in her palms surged and condensed into a seven-layer sealing formation, covering the magic crystal layer by layer, and finally calmed it down.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "This thing has too many hidden dangers."
Xuan Mu said solemnly, "For now, we can only wait for Di Chen to recover a little, and then question him properly."
They were in no mood to attend the banquet. After all, Luo Li was the newly appointed city lord. She exchanged a few pleasantries with the guests from various forces and left early.
The next morning—
Luo Li came to Di Shiwei's yard and saw her sitting in the yard. She frowned and asked, "How is Di Chen?"
The corners of Di Shiwei's eyes were red. "His condition has stabilized, but he hasn't woken up yet. He's been seriously injured. I'm afraid he'll need some time to recover."
Luo Li gently patted Di Shiwei's shoulder and said softly, "He'll be fine."
She raised her eyes to look at the tightly closed door, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the magic crystal in her sleeve.
That thing has been getting slightly hot since last night, as if responding to something. She wondered if the Demon God Temple had some special means to sense it. She had to ask Di Chen how he got this thing.
"Can I go in and see him?"
Di Shiwei wiped the corners of his eyes, stood up and opened the door: "Of course."
The room was filled with a strong aroma of elixir. Di Chen lay quietly on the bed, his face as pale as paper.
As Luo Li approached, she suddenly noticed strange black lines appearing on his neck.
Di Shiwei explained, "He must have fought with the people from the Demon God Temple. The wounds on his body are all stained with demonic energy."
Luo Li took out a Saint King Pill and handed it to Di Shiwei, "Feed it to him."
Emperor Shi was slightly stunned, "Saint King Pill?!"
Luo Li nodded. "Although he is seriously injured, it is only a superficial wound. He should be able to recover after taking the medicine. However, it will take some time to remove the evil spirit."
Seeing that Di Shiwei was still a little hesitant, she frowned and said, "The most important thing is, I have something very important to ask him now."
Di Shi bit his lip slightly, finally took the pill and carefully fed it into Di Chen's mouth.
The Holy King Pill melted in his mouth, and in just a moment, Di Chen's pale face gradually regained some color.
The black lines on his neck also faded slightly, but still hadn't completely disappeared.
Luo Li stood by the bed, folding her arms and watching.
It seems that the healing ability of the Holy Lord Pill she has refined now against demonic energy is still too limited. She needs to research new pills targeting demonic energy when she has time.
She was thinking about the new elixir in her mind while waiting for Di Chen to wake up.
About a quarter of an hour later, Di Chen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were a little dazed at first, but when he saw Luo Li standing beside the bed, he was slightly startled, and then whispered: "...Luo Li."
Seeing him wake up, Luo Li asked straight to the point: "Di Chen, how did you get this magic crystal?"
She took out the magic crystal, and the black crystal flickered slightly in her palm, trembling slightly as if it had life.
Di Chen's gaze fell on the magic crystal, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.
He struggled to sit up, and Di Shiwei quickly supported him and placed a soft pillow behind him.
"I discovered traces of the Demon God Temple deep in the Tianxu Secret Realm."
Di Chen's voice was a little hoarse, and it was obvious that his injuries had not yet fully recovered. "They seemed to be looking for something. I followed them secretly and found that they opened an ancient palace."
He paused, his brow furrowed. “Inside that sealed place, there is a demon altar, and this demon crystal is suspended in the center of the altar.”
Luo Li's eyes darkened slightly: "So, you took it from the altar?"
Di Chen shook his head. "No, it was the people from the Demon God Temple who took it first. But they seemed to have an internal conflict, and the power of the magic crystal backfired on one of them. I took advantage of their confusion to snatch it away and brought it out."
Luo Li asked the most important question, "Are there any survivors? Did they recognize you?"
"No," Di Chen confirmed, "They didn't recognize me. I exploited the laws of space to find a loophole. I can guarantee they don't know who took it."
Di Chen's words made Luo Li feel a little relieved, but her fingertips still unconsciously stroked the surface of the magic crystal.
The crystal felt slightly hot in her palm, as if silently telling some ominous omen.
"Wait a minute—" Lan Xiaoxiao suddenly rushed in, clutching a sound transmission stone. "The disciples we sent to monitor the Demon God Temple's branch a while ago have reported that nearly half of the branch came out simultaneously a day ago. They seem to be looking for something! Sure enough, it's this magic crystal."
Everyone in the room's expressions suddenly changed.
Luo Li's eyebrows were cold, "Although there are very few Demon God Temple branches within the sphere of influence of Buli City, there are still three strongholds. The closest one is only half a day's journey from Buli City."
Lan Xiaoxiao said anxiously, "They will definitely send people to search the city. Will this magic crystal leak out and be discovered by them?"
Luo Li shook her head, "No, I will temporarily seal it in the Chaos Jade."
With the remaining souls of ancient gods and Liuli guarding, not a single evil spirit will leak out.
Song Wanbai breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
"However," Luo Li continued, "since the Demon God Temple will send people, we also need to make some preparations."
"Prepare?" Mu Ze scratched his head. "What preparations do we need to make? Isn't it that as long as we cover up the aura of the magic crystal, this matter will be over?"
Luo Li shook her head and said, "The Demon God Palace has probably already regarded Buli City as a thorn in their side. This time, we need to dispel some of their suspicions to avoid being closely watched by the Demon God Palace in the future."
Yue Hanchuan frowned, "But they are here for the magic crystal. How can we use this incident to dispel some of their suspicions?"
Luo Li tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, a cold light flashing in her eyes: "Since they are looking for the magic crystal, then we will show them a 'magic crystal'."
She raised her palm upwards, and a wisp of chaotic spiritual power flowed through her fingertips, gradually condensing into a crystal that was very similar to the black crystal.
However, what is surging inside this "magic crystal" is not demonic energy, but spiritual power disguised as the power of chaos.
"This is..." Lan Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. "Are you going to fool them with fake goods?"
"That's right." Luo Li looked at her masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction.
Very good, it’s realistic enough.
Mo Yizhou frowned, "It would be too risky to leave this thing in Buli City and let the Demon God Temple find it. If they find this thing in Buli City, won't they strengthen the defense against Buli City?"
"That's right," Luo Li curled her lips, "So, naturally, this thing can't be left in Buli City?"
Lan Xiaoxiao scratched her head, "Where should I put it?"
Luo Li snapped her fingers, "Mu family."
