Chapter 1167 Overturning the Chessboard
The red chain in Feng Wuhen's hand danced like a red torrent, and wherever it passed, the demonic insects were minced into meat paste.
But there were too many demon insects. Just after clearing one area, more demon insects came.
Lan Xiaoxiao and others also joined the battle, and with the flash of their soul skills, they killed the approaching demon insects.
However, the mucus from the demon insect splashed onto the ground, corroding deep pits and filling the air with a disgusting smell.
Luo Li knew that she couldn't continue in this stalemate. She quickly formed seals with her hands and shouted, "Chaos Skyfall!"
In an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and wherever the red light reached, the demon insects were burned to ashes.
Seeing this, the woman in black veil let out an angry roar, her body began to swell, demonic energy leaked out crazily, and she seemed to have turned into a huge demonic ball.
"Since you all don't want to live, then let's die together!" Her voice became distorted and sharp, full of despair and madness.
Feng Yan was extremely anxious. He ignored the consumption of his own spiritual power and burned the Phoenix True Fire around him to the extreme, turning it into a huge pillar of fire that rushed towards the woman in black veil.
"Little sister, wake up!" His voice was filled with pain and anxiety, and the flames left a long tail behind him, illuminating the entire battlefield.
Luo Li did not dare to be careless. She once again used the power of chaos. A bright beam of light shot out from her palm, intertwined with Feng Yan's Phoenix True Fire, and blasted towards the woman in black veil.
The two powerful forces collided, causing a dazzling light and a strong shock wave. The surrounding buildings collapsed under this force, and smoke and dust filled the air.
When the dust cleared, the woman in black vomited blood, but still wanted to fight back.
Luo Li raised her finger calmly: "Chaos, seal."
A dark golden chain suddenly emerged from the void and wrapped around the swollen body of the woman in black veil like a living thing.
Looking at the trapped woman, Feng Yan lowered his eyes and said, "I hope the leader will spare my sister's life."
Luo Li turned her eyes and said, "After all, this matter is still the family affair of the Taixu Feng family. Since the Phoenix Lord has spoken, I can spare her life, but the Phoenix Lord must dig something out of her mouth."
As she spoke, Luo Li took out a pill and said, "Take this pill to clear the evil spirit from her body."
Feng Yan took the pill and nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Alliance Leader."
He walked up to the woman in black veil, looked at her hideous and distorted face, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
The woman was still struggling, a hoarse growl coming from her throat, demonic energy surging continuously, trying to break free from the chains of chaos.
"Damn it! Feng Yan! Let me go!"
Feng Yan sighed, raised his hand, pinched her jaw, and put the pill into her mouth.
The pill melted in her mouth and turned into a stream of clear water flowing into her body.
“Ah——!” The woman let out a shrill scream, the demonic energy around her rolling like boiling water, and black mist continued to overflow from her body, which was purified and dissipated by the Chaos Chains.
Her body trembled violently, and her originally swollen demon body gradually shrank and finally returned to its original appearance.
Her black veil had long been torn, revealing a pale but beautiful face, but at this moment her eyes were closed and her breath was weak.
Feng Yan supported her and whispered, "Little sister..."
Luo Li retracted the Chaos Chains and said calmly, "The demonic energy has been removed, but she has been eroded for too long, and her soul has been damaged. She needs to rest for a while. Leave her in the City Lord's Mansion to prevent any further trouble."
Lan Xiaoxiao stepped forward and frowned, saying, "The Demon God Temple's chess game is really too big, and we discovered it too late."
Luo Li said coldly: "Then let's overturn this chessboard."
Shi Heng walked over and said, "Let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion first. The situation inside the city is fine. They took their disciples to inspect it at the beginning of the month to make sure there are no leaks. Fortunately, only the buildings near the City Lord's Mansion were damaged, and it will be back to normal tomorrow."
Luo Li narrowed her eyes and took out a space ring. "Give the pill to the controlled Feng disciples. Lock them in the dungeon first and wait until they regain consciousness."
Shi Heng nodded seriously: "Okay, leave it to me."
———
The lights in the city lord's mansion were bright.
Feng Wuhen gently placed his unconscious sister on the bed, his fingers trembling slightly.
He stared at the face that was 70% similar to his own, with indescribable complex emotions surging in his heart.
"Qingwu..." He called out softly, his voice filled with suppressed pain, "How could this happen..."
Luo Li stood aside, a wisp of chaotic energy condensed at her fingertips, checking Feng Qingwu's condition.
Her brows gradually furrowed. "The situation is more serious than I thought. Although the evil spirit has been purified, it seems that some kind of mark still remains in her soul."
"What do you mean?" Feng Wuhen suddenly raised his head, a trace of panic flashing in his red eyes.
"Like... a seed," Luo Li withdrew her hand, her expression solemn. "The Demon God Temple's methods are more sinister than we expected. They didn't simply infuse her with demonic energy; they planted a 'demon seed', allowing her to be gradually eroded and transformed."
Lan Xiaoxiao gasped: "So, Feng Qingwu was actually..."
"They're being used as vessels for cultivating demonic energy," Shi Heng continued, his expression grim. "The Demon God Temple is trying to create a team of demonized spiritual masters composed of core members from various factions."
"That's right," Luo Li nodded, "You don't have the ability to transform into a true demon species, but you can directly erode all the forces in the entire Continent of Gods through this method."
Mu Ze gritted his teeth, "How vicious! To be betrayed by someone so close to you at a critical moment is like dealing a fatal blow!"
The room fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of the flickering candlelight.
Feng Yan clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms: "It's all my fault... If I had discovered my little sister's abnormality earlier..."
"Now is not the time to blame yourself," Luo Li interrupted him, her voice calm and firm, "The demon seed hasn't fully activated yet. We still have a chance. I need to enter the depths of her consciousness, find and destroy the demon seed."
"This is too dangerous!" Lan Xiaoxiao exclaimed, somewhat disapprovingly. "If we're not careful during this invasion, not only will she be utterly horrified, but you, A-Li, will also be severely injured!"
"I know my limits. Besides, I went in for another reason, which was to find out if this problem could be solved with pills." Luo Li raised her hand to signal her not to say anything more, then turned her gaze to Feng Yan. "But you're her brother, so I need your consent."
Feng Yan's Adam's apple rolled, and a flash of struggle flashed across his eyes.
Finally, he nodded slowly: "Please, Alliance Leader."
Luo Li said no more, quickly formed seals with her hands, and a dark golden line appeared between her eyebrows.
She gently tapped her finger on Feng Qingwu's forehead and closed her eyes to concentrate.
In an instant, a powerful wave of soul power swept through the entire room, the candlelight swayed violently, and the paintings on the wall moved without wind.
Feng Wuhen and others watched the scene nervously, their muscles tensed, ready to help at any time.
Luo Li's consciousness passed through layers of fog and entered the depths of Feng Qingwu's memory.
She saw the young Feng Qingwu chasing after Feng Yan, calling out "Brother, wait for Qingwu";
Seeing Feng Qingwu as a young girl practicing hard alone, her clothes soaked with sweat;
Seeing the adult Feng Qingwu standing in front of her parents' ancestral tablet, the flames of revenge burning in her eyes...
Fragments of memory flashed by like a kaleidoscope, and Luo Li keenly caught the unusual part - on a rainy night two hundred years ago, Feng Qingwu received an anonymous letter, which suggested that her parents' death was not an accident, but murder.
"I see..." Luo Li understood. Feng Qingwu had been targeted by the Demon God Temple while investigating her parents' deaths.
But it still doesn't make sense. Feng Qingwu and Feng Yan were no longer children when their parents died. How could she not remember the real cause of her parents' death?
Unless, her memory was tampered with.
Luo Li's heart was shocked, and she immediately continued to explore deeper along the thread of memory.
Sure enough, at the key memory node of Feng Qingwu's parents' death, she discovered a very difficult to detect black thread - that was the trace of the memory being forcibly tampered with.
"The Demon God Temple can even control memories, no wonder it can successfully control them." Luo Li's eyes flashed coldly as he continued to move deeper into consciousness.
Suddenly, she stopped.
A strange black swamp appeared in front of them. In the center of the swamp floated a pitch-black seed, its surface covered with blood-colored lines, which was beating regularly, like a living thing.
"This is the demon species..."
Just as Luo Li was about to get closer, the swamp suddenly surged up, and countless black tentacles suddenly attacked her!
Outside, Feng Qingwu on the bed suddenly twitched violently, and black blood began to seep out of all her orifices.
Feng Yan was horrified: "Leader!"
Lan Xiaoxiao pressed his shoulders and said, "Don't be impulsive! If you interrupt them now, something bad will happen to both of them!"
In the space of consciousness, Luo Li's figure was as fast as lightning, and the power of chaos condensed into a long sword in his hand, cutting off all the attacking tentacles.
But the tentacles kept coming, and every step forward was extremely difficult.
"This won't work. We have to figure out how to break this thing." Luo Li's eyes flashed, and she suddenly dropped her defenses, allowing the tentacles to penetrate her body!
At the moment the tentacles penetrated her body, Luo Li's real body outside suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, scaring Mu Ze so much that he almost jumped up, but he couldn't move.
"Ali!" Lan Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red with anxiety, but she didn't dare to act rashly.
In the space of consciousness, Luo Li, who was pierced by tentacles, sneered.
Her body suddenly turned into countless points of light, and went upstream along the tentacles, appearing in front of the demon in an instant!
"I found you." Luo Li formed seals with her hands, and the power of chaos turned into nine chains, tightly entangling the demon seed.
The demon struggled frantically, making shrill screams.
The entire consciousness space began to collapse, and memory fragments flew like snowflakes.
"Destroy." Luo Li shouted coldly, and the chains suddenly tightened!
"Bang--"
The demon seed exploded and turned into black mist all over the sky.
Luo Li immediately activated the power of chaos and purified the black fog.
Just as she was about to withdraw, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly emerged from the black fog, and a hoarse voice sounded in her ears:
