"The energy fluctuations are so intense. Senior Brother Luo Fantian is usually of upright character and has no bad habits. Why is the Death Spirit Orb reacting so strongly?"
Seeing this, Xie Zhou knew things were going badly, but there was nothing he could do to stop it.
"He harbored resentment, a very deep resentment, seemingly because someone had once called him a monster!"
The black mist suddenly spoke.
"Furthermore, I sensed the energy of a demonic spider within his body. Yes! That's right, it's a demonic spider! How could the Deathly Spirit Orb possibly recognize someone with the power of a demonic beast within them as its master? That's absolutely impossible!"
The black mist let out a shriek.
"Hahahaha, he'll die, he's about to die! Once the power of the Death Orb has taken over his body, he'll be dead! Hahahaha, he'll become our nourishment! Hahahaha..."
The black mist, under Xie Zhou's control, began to laugh uncontrollably. This behavior greatly displeased Xie Zhou, so he intensified his mental control over the black mist.
"Speak! How can you save my senior brother! If you don't speak today, I'll make you pay with your life for my senior brother!"
Xie Zhou was truly enraged, and she was also true to her word. With her current mental strength, it would be easy for her to eliminate this out-of-control black mist.
"Ah, no, please don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
The black mist, initially overjoyed, quickly turned to sorrow and begged for mercy.
"Then hurry up and tell me!"
Xie Zhou had no intention of getting caught up in the black mist.
"Unless someone can make the Death Orb recognize a master at this moment, the only way to save that person's life is to break the current recognition process and make it a new master!"
As soon as Hei Wu finished speaking, Xie Zhou felt a wave of relief wash over him and immediately bit his middle finger until it bled.
"Senior brother, I'm sorry, I originally intended to leave this Death Spirit Orb to you!"
Xie Zhou placed his finger directly on the Necromancer Orb.
The Death Bead seemed to come alive, sucking on Xie Zhou's middle finger.
The energy fluctuations around Luo Fantian gradually decreased, while Xie Zhou felt as if his head was about to explode.
However, this excruciating, explosive pain only lasted for a short while before disappearing.
"That's it?"
Xie Zhou stood there, feeling a renewed connection to the Death Spirit Orb in his mind.
Luo Fantian, who had just been controlled by the Death Spirit Orb, has now regained consciousness.
His eyes changed from pure black to normal human pupils, which finally put Xie Zhou at ease.
"What...what just happened to me..."
Luo Fantian tapped him on the head.
"Why do I see so many people calling me a monster... and people absorbing my power..."
Luo Fantian had a headache.
"The black mist just told me that you have the bloodline of a demonic spider. Demons and this Death Spirit Orb are incompatible. If you had continued to absorb this Death Spirit Orb, your life would have been in danger."
Xie Zhou opened her hand shyly, and the Death Spirit Orb lay quietly in her palm.
When the Death Orb approached Luo Fantian, it clearly emitted a sense of resistance, and no one knew why.
"It's alright, the main thing is that we can get out. Now that we have the Death Orb, can you sense how to get out?"
Luo Fantian wasn't particularly concerned about the Death Spirit Orb.
"I...I have a strange feeling, I...I don't know how to say it, but I'll try it out now."
As he spoke, Xie Zhou closed his eyes, a thought forming in his mind.
A door appeared in front of Xie Zhou and Luo Fantian.
"Let's go in and take a look; perhaps this is the way out."
Xie Zhou was the first to place his hand on the doorknob.
"They're gone."
She mustered her courage and pushed the door open.
The familiar scene filled Xie Zhou with joy.
"This is it! This is the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion!"
Xie Zhou pulled Luo Fantian along and they crawled out through the door.
Inside the cultivation technique pavilion, two students were borrowing cultivation techniques when Xie Zhou and Luo Fantian suddenly appeared, much to their surprise.
"What...what's going on, Luo Fantian! Xie Zhou! You...shouldn't you be dead already?!"
The students who had borrowed the cultivation techniques didn't even bother to look at them anymore; they scrambled out of the cultivation technique pavilion.
"Luo Fantian! Luo Fantian and Xie Zhou are back! They're both back!"
The student shouted loudly, making the news known to everyone outside the cultivation hall.
"How is that possible!"
"That's impossible! The two of them have clearly already been sent to the Forest of Death by the Grand Elder!"
"Yeah, you must be mistaken. How could it be the two of them, and they're even in the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion?"
"Could it be haunted?!"
In an instant, the students outside were filled with gossip.
The most panicked were the guards of the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion. Upon hearing the news that Xie Zhou and Luo Fantian had returned alive, they immediately sent someone to find the Grand Elder.
"It's absolutely true! They're both really back! I would never mistake something like that! If you don't believe me, why don't you go in and see for yourselves!"
The man said in a flustered manner.
"No need to come in to see us, we're back."
Xie Zhou, with a stern face, met the eyes of the guard at the cultivation technique pavilion as soon as he arrived.
"You...you...you all...you all..."
"What? You seem surprised to see us? Could it be that you were behind our trip to the Death Forest?"
Without saying a word, Xie Zhou struck the guard of the cultivation technique pavilion with a palm.
"Help! Help...Elder, please help me!"
The guard at the cultivation technique pavilion was also quite timid; he was so frightened that he wet his pants right there.
"Bold Xie Zhou, you openly attacked a disciple of the Sword Sect, disregarding the rules of our Sword Sect. What is your punishment?"
When the Grand Elder saw Xie Zhou, his eyes were full of surprise, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Xie Zhou, you and Luo Fantian have been inside the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion for a whole week without coming out. This is not in accordance with the rules of the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion. Do you know your mistake?"
The elder continued speaking righteously to Xie Zhou and Luo Fantian, without mentioning his own mistakes at all.
"Oh? I don't know why, but I was looking at cultivation techniques here when I inexplicably entered a place called the Forest of Death. I suppose the Grand Elder is aware of this."
Xie Zhou refused to back down in the slightest, staring intently at the Grand Elder as if trying to see through his thoughts.
"Such a thing actually happened?"
The Grand Elder raised an eyebrow and looked at the guard of the cultivation technique pavilion.
"The method to open the Forest of Death is known only to the successive guardians of the Martial Arts Pavilion. It is indeed his dereliction of duty to let the students fall into the Forest of Death without cause."
This elder is quite adept at shifting blame onto others.
