Chapter 1126: Yinling Mountain
As he spoke, he led everyone to a private room by the window on the second floor.
The early morning sunlight filtered through the carved window lattices into the private room on the second floor of Zuixianlou. The waiter had just set a table full of snacks and a plate of pork when Mu Ze picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
"It's so hot, so hot!" He was gasping for breath because of the heat. He tried to reach for the teacup in a hurry, but ended up knocking over the teacup in front of Bei Mingyu.
Bei Mingyu leaned back swiftly, using his spiritual shield to block the splashing tea.
Ye Yichen took the opportunity to put the last piece of Baihua Cake into his own bowl and said righteously: "Look, this is the result of snatching food."
With a "click", Di Xuanming's chopsticks suddenly fell across the edge of his bowl.
Ye Yichen looked up and met those frosty eyes: "I left that for A'li."
Lan Xiaoxiao chuckled and pushed the plate in front of her towards Luo Li. "Ali, try this! It's a specialty of Zuixianlou and super delicious! I wish I could lure the chef into my room and make it for me every day!"
Luo Li curled her lips, "Okay"
Amid the sound of the puff pastry breaking, there was suddenly a sound of breaking air outside the window.
Mo Yizhou entered through the window carrying a wine jar, his black robe dropping a few petals: "The shopkeeper said that this is newly brewed plum wine..."
His voice stopped abruptly, and he stared at the mess on the table: "Are you having breakfast or fighting?"
Luo Li pressed her forehead and said, "Alright, alright, stop making trouble."
Mo Yizhou raised his eyebrows, sat down and said, "Okay, let's try this."
"Okay!"
After eating and drinking well, Luo Li and the others returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.
The next day, Luo Li sent a message to all the major forces, asking them to keep an eye on the movements of the Demon God Temple while also paying attention to the large secret realms and the appearance of the ancient gods' heritage within their sphere of influence.
Then, Luo Li returned to her usual busy schedule.
Occasionally, he would go to the pharmacy to teach the alchemists how to make pills. He would make a batch of pills every day, a portion of which would be allocated to Buli City, and the rest would be stored in the Tower of the Gods.
The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed quietly like flowing water.
That morning, Luo Li was refining pills in the alchemy room when suddenly the sound transmission stone on her waist vibrated violently.
She raised her fingertips, and Mu Ze's urgent voice came from the sound transmission stone: "Ali! Come to Yinling Mountain outside the city quickly! Something big has happened!"
The flame under the alchemy furnace went out with a puff, and Luo Li appeared in the courtyard in a flash.
Di Xuanming, who was taking care of the spiritual plants, immediately stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Mu Ze said that there was something strange happening in Yinling Mountain." As soon as Luo Li finished speaking, Di Xuanming put his arms around her waist, and the two of them disappeared from the spot in an instant.
The city gate was now crowded with people.
Mu Ze and Song Wanbai stood at the front with serious expressions.
When Luo Li landed, she saw Lan Xiaoxiao bandaging an injured disciple.
"What's going on?" Luo Li stepped forward quickly.
Mu Ze pointed to the mountains in the distance shrouded in black fog and said, "This morning, the patrolling disciples discovered that the spiritual energy of Yinling Mountain suddenly erupted. It was already like this when we arrived."
Song Wanbai unfolded a formation diagram drawn with spiritual power: "The black fog is devouring the surrounding spiritual energy, and its spreading speed is ten times faster than half an hour ago."
Luo Li squinted her eyes and saw faint blood-red runes flickering in the black mist. She gathered a touch of spiritual power from her fingertips and tentatively threw it out, but it was instantly swallowed by the black mist.
"Demonic energy." Emperor Xuanming said coldly, with a dark light appearing in his sleeves.
"This isn't ordinary demonic energy," Yue Hanchuan's voice came from behind the crowd. The icy silk in his hand was wrapped around a wisp of struggling black mist. "It's mixed with the remnant of the demon god."
Mo Yizhou frowned: "It seems to be related to the inheritance of the Demon God again. I'm afraid the Demon God Temple will smell something and come here soon."
Luo Li immediately said, "Shuxue, go notify all the major cities in Buli City and immediately activate the city defense formation. Yizhou, go notify the Taixu Feng clan and see if they can send some men to temporarily garrison Buli City. Ah Ming, Brother Wanbai, the two of you will help me set up the formation to cover up the strange phenomenon for now."
"good!"
An Shuxue and Mo Yizhou left quickly, while Di Xuanming and Song Wanbai cooperated with Luo Li to set up the demon-sealing formation.
After setting up the formation, Luo Li looked at the temporarily concealed vision and frowned, saying, "The Demon God Temple must have noticed the vision here, but they haven't sent anyone to investigate yet. They probably don't know it's about the Demon God yet. We still have time to discuss countermeasures."
Everyone acted quickly, each doing their part.
Luo Li stood in front of Yinling Mountain, gazing at the mountains shrouded in black fog, feeling vaguely uneasy.
"A-Li," Di Xuanming walked over to her side and whispered, "There's something familiar about the aura in this black fog."
Luo Li glanced at him sideways: "Have you seen it?"
Emperor Xuanming nodded slightly. "I sensed a similar aura in the Nine Heavens Forbidden Land. If I'm not mistaken, this mountain might contain a portion of the Demon God's power."
Luo Li's heart was shocked: "It is indeed the fragment of the demon god..."
At this moment, Lan Xiaoxiao suddenly exclaimed: "Ali! Look!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge stone door slowly emerging from the black fog. The door was engraved with ancient runes and emitted a faint red light.
"It's the entrance to the secret realm!" Song Wanbai quickly unfolded the formation diagram, "These runes... are seals from the Great Wilderness period!"
Yue Hanchuan peered closely and said, "The seal is weakening. The secret realm will be fully opened in half a day at most. By then, the magic sealing formation may not be able to conceal the strange phenomenon here."
Mo Yizhou had returned at some point and stood behind the group, saying in a deep voice, "People from all the major factions are already on their way, but it will take at least two hours to get through the teleportation array."
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "If it's a secret realm..."
Song Wanbai's eyes moved, "Ali, what do you want to do?"
Luo Li crossed her arms. "Is it possible to completely conceal the demonic energy and disguise it as an ordinary secret realm of ancient god inheritance? Then we can go in and search for the fragments of the demon god inheritance right under the nose of the Demon God Temple. And for an ordinary ancient god inheritance, the Demon God Temple won't go to the trouble of sending too many people."
Song Wanbai frowned slightly, "But this is too difficult. Once the secret realm is opened, the demonic energy will be impossible to conceal."
Mu Ze said: "But if what A Li said can be realized, then there is no need to worry about the Demon God Temple sending a large number of people to snatch the Demon God inheritance fragments."
Song Wanbai said helplessly, "It would be best if it could be realized, but the problem is that my attainments in formations are already quite high, but I have never heard of this kind of formation."
Luo Li pursed her lips slightly, then took out a large pile of ancient books on formations and sat cross-legged, "Then let's look for it."
Song Wanbai and the others looked at each other, then sat down to accompany Luo Li in the search.
Outside Yinling Mountain, they were concentrating on searching for ancient books, and time passed by minute by minute.
Suddenly, Luo Li's fingertips paused, stopping on a yellowed page: "Found it!"
Everyone gathered around immediately.
There was a complicated array pattern painted on the page, with small words next to it: Nine-turn Soul Sealing Array, which can reverse the evil spirit into spirit, and lasts for three days.
