Chapter 1168 Lure the snake out of its hole
"Lord of Chaos... You can't stop us... The demons have spread all over the continent... Just wait and see your world... rot from the inside... Hahaha..."
Luo Li frowned. What the hell was this thing yelling about?
The sound gradually faded away, Luo Li's consciousness returned to her body, and she suddenly opened her eyes.
"How is it?" Feng Yan asked anxiously.
Luo Li wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her expression solemn: "The demon in Feng Qingwu's body has been removed, but the situation is worse than we thought."
She recounted everything she saw and heard.
"Have her memories been tampered with?" Feng Yan's face turned pale. "No wonder my little sister's personality has changed so much over the years... I thought she was just immersed in her hatred for Jiuchongtian..."
Shi Heng pondered and said, "So, the Demon God Temple may have already taken action against the core members of the major forces."
"That's right." Luo Li nodded.
Song Wanbai frowned: "If that's the case, we have to notify other forces as soon as possible and thoroughly investigate the people within our own forces."
Feng Wuhen said in a deep voice: "But if they hadn't revealed themselves this time, we wouldn't have realized that they were actually from the Demon God Temple."
Luo Li curled her lips, "I already know what's inside Feng Qingwu. I'll go and refine a new batch of pills that can destroy it."
After she finished speaking, she paused and said, "But I haven't figured out how to directly catch those traitors in the Demon God Temple."
Song Wanbai comforted him, "It's okay, we still have time, take it slow."
Luo Li nodded, "By the way, where's Ah Ming?"
Mu Ze shook his head. "I don't know. I haven't seen him for a few days."
Luo Li frowned slightly and said, "I understand. I'll go make the elixir first. You send a message to the leaders of the major forces and tell them not to act rashly."
"Understood." Everyone nodded.
As Luo Li stepped out of the room, she suddenly felt dizzy and her vision went black.
She held onto the door frame, her fingertips trembling slightly.
"Ali!" Lan Xiaoxiao quickly supported her, "Are you hurt?"
"It's okay," Luo Li closed her eyes, suppressing the discomfort, "It's just that my soul power was over-consumed."
Feng Yan stood up with a guilty look on his face: "The leader is doing this to save my sister..."
"No need to say more," Luo Li waved her hand, "The most urgent task is to refine the elixir as soon as possible. We are already several steps behind the Demon God Temple, so this matter cannot be delayed."
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly sensed something and turned her head sharply to look out the window.
In the night sky, a faint blue light streaked across the sky and fell like a meteor.
"That is..." Shi Heng's face suddenly changed.
Luo Li's heart skipped a beat, and without caring about anything else, she disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Everyone followed closely behind, and saw a figure covered in blood half-kneeling on the ground in the open space in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
The dark blue flame burned around him, but it also had a strange dark red tint.
"A Ming!" Luo Li rushed forward, but was pushed back by a violent force when he was three feet away.
Emperor Xuanming slowly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot: "Don't come over..."
His voice was hoarse, and a strange gray-purple pattern was wrapped around his right arm, wriggling like a living thing.
"He was corrupted by evil spirits?!" Mu Ze exclaimed.
Luo Li shook her head and said firmly: "This is not demonic energy."
Emperor Xuanming clenched his fists in pain, and the Netherworld Fire erupted uncontrollably, burning deep pits in the surrounding ground.
"Ali, be careful!" Lan Xiaoxiao wanted to hold her back.
Luo Li broke free and walked towards the sea of fire without hesitation.
The power of chaos formed a barrier around her, resisting the invasion of the netherworld fire.
"A Ming, look at me," she said softly but firmly, "I'm here."
Di Xuanming trembled all over, the bloodshot in his eyes sometimes thicker and sometimes thinner: "Let's go... I can't control it..."
"You can do it," Luo Li had already walked in front of him and put her hand on his cheek, "Let's do it together."
A glazed light shone from her palms, and the power of chaos continuously flowed into Emperor Xuanming's body.
Emperor Xuanming let out a low roar, and the patterns on his right arm twisted wildly, making a shrill scream!
Everyone was shocked by this sudden change and took several steps back, only Luo Li remained motionless, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
"This isn't demonic energy..." The chaotic power at her fingertips suddenly intensified. "This is the breath of the Ancient God!"
It seems that Emperor Xuanming accidentally accepted the inherited power of an ancient god, but the power of this ancient god is too evil, unlike any she has seen before?
The gray-purple lines on Di Xuanming's right arm suddenly burst out and transformed into a ferocious black dragon phantom, opening its bloody mouth and pouncing towards Luo Li!
"Alliance leader, be careful!" The red chain in Feng Yan's hand shot out.
At the critical moment, Di Xuanming suddenly grabbed his right arm with his left hand and forcibly pulled the black dragon shadow back into his body.
Veins popped out of his forehead and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth: "Go back!"
Luo Li took the opportunity to form seals with her hands, and nine chaos chains emerged from the void, surrounding Di Xuanming.
The ancient runes on the chains lit up one after another, forming a mysterious sealing formation.
"A Ming, bear with it." She bit her fingertips, and a drop of blood fell on the center of Di Xuanming's eyebrows.
The moment the essence and blood merged, a dazzling blue light burst out from Emperor Xuanming's body. The Netherworld Fire and the power of chaos intertwined, forcing the black dragon phantom back to his right arm little by little.
The black lines struggled violently and eventually solidified into a hideous scar.
Di Xuanming fell forward as if exhausted, but was caught steadily by Luo Li. His pale face was covered in cold sweat, and the scar on his right arm was still throbbing slightly.
"Let's go back to the room first." Luo Li gestured for everyone to move aside and supported Di Xuanming as they walked quickly towards the inner courtyard.
Lan Xiaoxiao wanted to follow, but Shi Heng stopped her: "Let Xiaoli handle it, we'll deal with other things first."
Inside the room, Luo Li placed Di Xuanming on the couch and gathered the power of chaos at her fingertips to check his internal condition.
As the investigation deepened, her brows furrowed more and more.
"When did it start?" she asked in a deep voice.
Di Xuanming opened his eyes weakly. "Three years ago, when I entered a ruin. I had previously been able to suppress this power, but lately it's become increasingly difficult to suppress."
Luo Li said in a deep voice: "Do you know what this is?"
Emperor Xuanming was stunned. "Curse?"
Luo Li shook her head and sighed, "It's the ancient god's godhead."
"The divinity of the ancient god?" Emperor Xuanming frowned slightly.
Luo Li nodded gently, her fingertips brushing across the scar on Di Xuanming's right arm. The power of chaos flowed through the scar, emitting bursts of light. "Yes, it is an extremely rare ancient godhead."
"In the Great Desolation, extremely powerful ancient gods fell, and their divine natures were scattered throughout the heavens and earth. If one could obtain the inherited power within the divine nature and refine it, one could become a new ancient god.
But your godhead carries an evil aura, unlike ordinary godheads. I'm afraid that ancient god carried with him a strong resentment and unwillingness when he fell."
A complex expression flashed across Di Xuanming's eyes. After a moment's silence, he slowly said, "No wonder. I always feel like there's a force stirring within me, sometimes lucid, sometimes frantic, as if another consciousness is trying to take over my body."
He sighed, "These days, I've noticed that power is growing stronger, so I left alone, hoping to find a place to completely suppress it. But I didn't expect..."
His voice gradually became lower, with a hint of helplessness and fatigue.
Luo Li patted his head and said softly, "Rest well first and recover your consumed strength. I will find a way to deal with it."
Di Xuanming nodded slightly, and under Luo Li's gentle gaze, he slowly closed his eyes.
Luo Li walked out of the room quietly. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Lan Xiaoxiao and others waiting outside.
"Ali, how is he?" Lan Xiaoxiao asked.
Luo Li sighed softly, "The situation inside him is more complicated than we imagined. It's the Ancient Godhead that's causing the trouble. But don't worry, I will do my best to help him resolve it. My most urgent task is to refine the elixir and uncover the traitor in the Demon God Temple. I can't relax for a moment."
Shi Heng nodded and said, "Don't worry, Alliance Leader. I have already sent a message to the leaders of the major factions, asking them to stabilize the situation for the time being and secretly monitor any abnormalities among the people within their factions."
"Okay," Luo Li nodded, "I'll go to the alchemy room now and try to make a pill that can fight against the demons as soon as possible. I'll leave the outside to you for the next few days."
Everyone agreed and went about their business. Luo Li walked towards the alchemy room, but her mind was full of thoughts.
The conspiracy of the Demon Temple and the crisis of the ancient god's divinity, each of these things was like a heavy rock pressing on her heart.
But she knew that she could not retreat, and for the sake of her family and friends, she had to face the difficulties.
Stepping into the alchemy room, Luo Li took a deep breath, put aside all distracting thoughts, and devoted himself to refining the elixir.
Flames rose in the alchemy furnace, and her hands danced quickly above the furnace, and various spiritual plants were thrown into it accurately.
As time went by, bursts of medicinal fragrance gradually emanated from the alchemy furnace. However, just when the pill was about to take shape, the alchemy furnace suddenly vibrated violently, and the chaotic soul fire became manic and restless.
Luo Li's expression changed, and she quickly increased the output of the power of chaos, trying to stabilize the alchemy furnace.
Her eyes were focused, closely watching the changes in the furnace.
After a while, the alchemy furnace returned to calm, and pills emitting soft light slowly rose up.
Then she continued to refine a lot, and only half a day passed.
After refining the elixir, Luo Li held her chin and asked, "How can I catch them directly without alerting the traitors in the Demon God Temple?"
Luo Li paced in the alchemy room, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the jade bottle containing the elixir.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on the formation flags piled up in the corner, and her pupils suddenly lit up - since the demon seeds can lurk in the soul, then use the soul to control the soul!
She quickly spread out a blank jade slip and imprinted the runes condensed from the power of chaos on it.
Half an incense stick later, a faintly glowing soul contract jade slip took shape, densely engraved with spells for detecting demon species.
Then Luo Li felt that it was not enough, so she fused them together and made a spiritual weapon.
"Use this trick to lure the snake out of its hole." Luo Li's lips curled up dangerously.
