Chapter 1173: Sealing the Demon
Xie Qingci did not answer, but raised the sword in his hand above his head. The runes on the sword shone brightly, and the silver light shot straight into the sky.
The entire Locking God Mountain began to shake violently, and countless silver rays of light rose from the ground, echoing with the light in the sky, forming a huge silver light array.
"This sword is called 'Sealing the Demon' and can suppress all demonic energy for three years."
Xie Qingci's voice became increasingly ethereal, and his figure began to become transparent. "But it requires the guidance of my remaining spirit to activate it."
Luo Li wanted to stop him, but Xie Qingci raised his hand to stop her: "Don't waste your time. This body was originally maintained by the remnant of Cangwu. Now that its mission is complete, it's time to dissipate."
He looked at Luo Li with expectation in his eyes, "Little girl, you carry the origin of chaos and are the key to fighting the Demon God. This piece of Demon God's remnant seal is left to you to protect."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Qingci's figure turned into silver light and merged into the light array.
The light array burst out with dazzling light, completely covering the altar of Locking God Mountain.
The half of the demon's seal roared unwillingly in the light, but was slowly suppressed. It eventually turned into a stream of light and fell at Junli's feet.
When the light dissipated, Locking God Mountain returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Luo Li looked at the place where Xie Qingci disappeared, feeling mixed emotions.
She bent down and picked up the warm remains of the Demon God's seal. The lines on the surface of the seal actually squirmed like a living thing, but calmed down the moment it touched the Chaos Soul Fire.
Xiaoliu, Qingqing and the others came over stealthily, "Is this the fragment of the Demon God's inheritance?"
"Alliance leader, you are seriously injured. Take this soul-restoring pill first." Xiao Qingyi brought people over, and the medicine bottle still had body temperature.
Luo Li shook her head, her eyes falling on the gradually healing wound - the silver light left by Xie Qingci was still flowing in her blood vessels.
When the cracks in Locking God Mountain completely closed, the sky turned pale.
Luo Li looked at the direction where the disciples of the Demon God Temple were fleeing in panic in the distance, and suddenly clenched the remaining seal.
She could feel that the other fragments of the seal were resonating somewhere on the continent, and those people from the Demon God Temple would never give up just because of the three-year seal.
Xiao Qingyi frowned and said, "Alliance Leader, what did that senior mean by that? Suppress the demonic energy... for three years?"
"Literally, both the demonic energy and those who possess it will be suppressed," Luo Li stroked the undulating lines on the Demon God's remaining seal and pondered for a moment before speaking. "And after three years, the seal will loosen, and the demonic energy will spread again."
She raised her head, her eyes sweeping across the pale faces of the crowd, Chaos Soul Fire dancing at her fingertips, "But these three years are enough for us to prepare."
Xiao Qingyi's eyes lit up, "Does this mean that the people from the Demon God Temple won't show up in the next three years?"
"That's right." Luo Li nodded.
As Luo Li finished speaking, the mountain breeze blew a few dead leaves across everyone's hair.
She lowered her eyes slightly and put the remaining seal of the demon god into the Chaos Jade.
"But what about three years from now?" Xiao Liu scratched his head, his face filled with worry. "What if we're not fully prepared? Won't we end up fighting with the Demon God Temple again?"
Luo Li did not answer immediately, but looked at the rising sun in the distance.
The golden light sprinkled on the Locking God Mountain, giving a soft halo to the land that had just been ravaged.
She took a deep breath, and the chaotic soul fire burned fiercely in her palm, making the determination in her eyes even clearer.
"In these three years, we have to do two things." Luo Li turned to face the crowd, her voice steady and powerful, "First, integrate the various forces on the continent."
Lan Qingqing nodded. "We've already achieved the first point, haven't we? We've already established the Alliance of Gods."
"That's right," Luo Li nodded, "So our most important issue in these three years is to improve our strength. The Demon God Temple currently has many Saint Lords, but we only have a few. However, three years is enough time for us to train quite a few Saint Lords."
Xiao Qingyi tapped the hilt of the sword with his fingertips and said thoughtfully, "Alliance Master, reaching the Saint Sovereign realm requires both opportunity and talent. Even with the help of elixirs, it is definitely not something that can be achieved in just three years."
The mountain wind blew gravel across everyone's sleeves. Luo Li chuckled, "Of course I have a way."
She turned around and said, "Let's go back to Jiuding Academy first. We need to tell everyone this good news."
"good!"
The group walked down the winding mountain path of Locking God Mountain. The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the dewdrops on the grass leaves reflected tiny lights.
Luo Li walked in the front, the Chaos Jade was slightly hot, and the resonance between the Demon God's remnant seal and the origin of chaos was almost imperceptible, like a dormant dark thunder.
As soon as I stepped into the meeting hall of Jiuding Academy, I was flooded with questions.
Xuan Xiao, the white-haired and dignified dean of Jiuding Academy, stepped forward, leaning on his jade staff. "Alliance Master Luo, is the strange phenomenon that just occurred on Locking God Mountain related to the ancient god's inheritance?"
"That's right." Luo Li told the story of Xie Qingci sealing the evil spirit, and everyone's expression changed from shock to solemnity.
When they heard the phrase "three-year agreement," someone scoffed in the corner: "In three years, the demonic tide will rise again. There will be so many Saint Lords in the Demon God Temple. With our limited cultivation, we'll be no match for them!"
Luo Li's eyes were like torches, fixed on the gray-clothed man who was speaking: "If you want to retreat, you can leave now."
The man in gray's face flushed red, and he stiffened his neck and tried to argue, but his companion beside him grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly.
Dean Xuanxiao coughed lightly to break the deadlock, his jade staff striking the blue brick floor with a clear sound. "Since Alliance Leader Luo said there's a way to break the impasse, why not tell us directly? This will put everyone's minds at ease."
Luo Li raised her hand and a bottle of medicine appeared on the table.
Xuan Xiao was a little puzzled: "What is this?"
Luo Li raised her hand to signal him to open it. Xuan Xiao took the jade bottle and just as he opened the jade stopper, an extremely powerful force began to spread.
Everyone present suddenly widened their eyes: "This, this is..."
Luo Li curled her lips, "Saint King Pill, Nirvana Pill."
The entire conference room fell into dead silence, with only the sound of the wind whistling outside the window.
Dean Xuanxiao's hand trembled, and the jade bottle nearly fell to the ground. He trembled and said, "Saint Lord Pill? Nirvana Pill?! The ancient divine medicine that is said to help people break through to the Saint Lord realm? This pill has long been lost. Where did Alliance Master Luo get it?"
Luo Li's fingertips traced the cloud patterns on the jade bottle's surface. The Chaos Soul Fire swirled above the pill, giving it a strange luster. "Of course, I made it."
There was a sudden gasp in the hall, and someone stumbled back and knocked over a wooden chair.
Dean Xuanxiao's pupils trembled violently, and his fingers traced the faint chaotic patterns on the bottom of the pill bottle: "The power of chaos..."
"That's right," Luo Li nodded, "Can this pill help a peak Grand Lord break through the bottleneck?"
Xuan Xiao laughed and said, "Of course!"
The gray-clothed man in the corner suddenly jumped up, and with a flash of cold light, he was in front of Luo Li: "Nonsense! Even the Lord of Qingfeng Valley can't..."
His voice stopped abruptly as his sword was instantly melted into molten iron by the Chaos Soul Fire. The man in gray was horrified to find that his feet had been entangled by chains made of flames.
Luo Li looked at Xuan Xiao and asked, "Are all the instructors at Jiuding Academy so ignorant of the rules?"
Xuan Xiao's expression suddenly changed. He slammed his jade staff down on the ground, causing the bricks to rustle. "Asshole! Stop it!"
The gray-clothed man had cold sweat on his forehead. The severe pain caused by the burning flame chain almost made him collapse, but he did not dare to resist at all.
He looked at the chaotic soul fire flowing around Luo Li, and finally realized that the young city lord in front of him was not just a name.
"Alliance Master Luo, I am sorry for not disciplining you strictly. I hope you can forgive me." Dean Xuanxiao looked solemn and bowed deeply to Luo Li.
As he turned around, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the man in gray with a cold gaze. "Take Master Feng to the dungeon and deal with him in three days."
After the guards dragged the man in gray away, the atmosphere in the conference room remained solemn.
Luo Li raised her hand to extinguish the flame chains and said calmly, "Don't worry, everyone. Since I took out the Saint King Pill, I am prepared to be questioned."
She flicked her fingers and seven pills flew out of the jade bottle, falling into the hands of Xuan Xiao and several elders of Jiuding Academy.
"This pill requires special mental training. I will personally guide you in three days." Luo Li looked around. "But pills are not a panacea. If your foundation is not stable, forcing a breakthrough will lead to disastrous consequences. For the next three years, you must first consolidate your cultivation and lay a solid foundation."
Xuan Xiao stroked the pill in his hand, his eyes gleaming. "Since Alliance Leader Luo has mastered the method of refining the Saint King Pill, I wonder if he can refine it in large quantities?"
"Of course." Luo Li nodded, "I will refine it for all the spiritual masters who are at the bottleneck of the Grand Lord peak."
As soon as he finished speaking, a suppressed commotion broke out in the meeting room. Some people clenched the armrests of their chairs, their knuckles turning white.
Some people couldn't help but stand up, their eyes full of ecstasy.
Xuan Xiao's throat rolled, and he wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he just carefully put the pill into his arms.
Luo Li raised her hand to signal for silence. Chaos Soul Fire condensed into a translucent contract rune in her palm. "But I need you to swear a soul oath - for three years, no private fighting within the Gods Alliance is allowed. Those who violate this will have their elixirs destroyed and die."
The runes flowed in the air, making everyone's faces look gloomy and uncertain.
"This..." an elder said hesitantly, "Although we are now in the same alliance, some forces have long-standing grievances that cannot be completely resolved with just a piece of paper."
"That's why we need you leaders to lead by example. I'll also notify the other factions." Luo Li's gaze swept over the crowd, and her soul fire suddenly surged, casting a huge shadow on the ground. "The Demon God Temple will not give us the opportunity to fight among ourselves. If anyone insists on destroying the alliance, they will become the enemy of the entire continent."
The wind outside the window suddenly became fierce, making the window frames rattle.
A moment later, Dean Xuan Xiao raised his hand first, and a light golden spiritual power was injected into the rune: "Jiuding Academy is willing to swear."
Soon after, the other elders followed suit. The contract runes absorbed the power of the soul and gradually condensed into solid chains suspended in the air.
After the last bit of spiritual power was absorbed, Luo Li lightly tapped her fingertips, and the talisman turned into a stream of light and penetrated into the eyebrows of everyone.
She took out an ancient jade slip and threw it to Xuan Xiao: "This is the 'Nine Transformations to Break the Gods' Art' that works with the Saint Lord Pill."
After saying that, Luo Li stood up and said, "I'll go back to the city first. If there's anything unclear, please contact me."
