After a few days of recuperation, Su Yi's injuries were completely healed. Upon recovery, his demon core even acquired a faint golden aura of merit, having been cleansed by Nuwa's power, undergoing a tremendous transformation, with even his cultivation showing signs of improvement. He Bai was not far behind; once his demon essence was abundant, his cultivation also advanced slightly.
The two demons talked privately and learned that this opportunity came from the silver ring.
After Su Yi recovered, he took the Taoist priest who had been left in the corner away. As for where he took him, no one knew, and no one asked.
A day later, Su Yi reappeared, his melancholy gone, his aura radiating clarity. Having settled his grudges, he had completely emerged from his past sorrows.
Once Su Yi and He Bai emerged from seclusion, Xue and the black bear were summoned back to Penang by Huo Fei.
The battle has begun in Penang, with the demons from the prison joining the fray. However, almost all the powerful demons in the beast ward have been taken away by Silver Ring, leaving them with insufficient fighting strength. With no other option, Huo Fei has to recall Snow and Black Bear.
Luo Mang and Qing Mang have not returned yet, and not only that, but they have also been completely lost contact with each other.
However, Yin Huan wasn't too worried about the two. She had a feeling that when her elder brother and the Green Python reappeared, the mystery surrounding the three of them would be solved. Recently, she had been chanting scriptures with Bai Mao, and the Buddhist sutras calmed her mind. In this state of tranquility, she miraculously observed Luo Mang's current situation, and therefore knew they were safe and sound.
Moreover, Luo Mang, who appeared in her sea of consciousness, was able to calm her troubled mind. Whenever Nuwa's will began to control her again, Luo Mang would appear at the right time and could also calm her agitation.
Silver Ring didn't know why.
But she trusted Luo Mang; she knew he would never harm her.
It took Yin Huan more than half a month to finally memorize the Buddhist text that Bai Mao had given her. Next, she would perform the ritual to deliver the demon souls trapped in the Demon-Locking Banner.
Yin Huan wasn't a proper Buddhist practitioner and had never performed any rituals to help the souls of the dead pass away. This was the first time she'd done something only monks did, and Yin Huan was a little apprehensive, afraid she'd mess it up and end up purifying all the demonic souls instead of helping them pass on.
After all, her merits and purifying abilities are quite significant.
Under a bright moon and a sky full of stars, deep within the Eight-Faced Mountain, beneath the dim moonlight, a ghostly blue light shimmered, and a Taoist Five-Star Formation resolutely took shape.
The moment the formation took shape, Su Yi, He Bai, and Gray Fox, who were guarding the side, exchanged glances, and with a flicker, they instantly flashed to the three corners of the Five Star Formation.
The white-haired man pointed to the Five Stars Formation and said, "Ah Hui, stand in the southeast direction."
Ahui nodded, and with a serious expression, stepped to the corner of the formation pointed out by Bai Mao, holding his long whip, like a gatekeeper ready to pounce.
Ahui was very nervous.
This is the first time he has been entrusted with such an important task since his worldview was turned upside down. They trust him so much, he must not let them down.
Seeing Ah Hui enter the formation, Bai Mao turned around and said gently to Yin Huan, who was holding the Demon-Locking Banner, "Just do your best. If even you can't help them pass on, then you can only blame their bad luck."
"I will do my best." Yin Huan nodded solemnly with a serious expression.
She was a complete novice when it came to matters of deliverance, and could only say she would do her best.
Bai Mao hummed in agreement, then looked up at the only outsider present, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master Song, I'll have to trouble you today."
Song Tianshan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Protector Bai, you don't need to be so polite. This humble Taoist will definitely guard this corner of the formation and will not let a single demon soul escape."
The difficulty of exorcising the souls of demons that have been refined is extremely high.
Even Huo Fei was helpless against the refined souls of the dead, and could only destroy them. Let alone the refined demon souls.
Moreover, the method of refining demon souls is different from that of the demon race in refining yin souls.
The demon souls within the Demon-Locking Banner originated from evil forces. After being captured, their divine consciousness was erased, leaving only their resentment and hatred from before their deaths. Over the years, driven by evil forces, the scale of their killings far surpasses that of ordinary spirits.
They are utterly devoid of reason, only capable of killing. Once released from the Demon-Sealing Banner, they will ferociously tear everything apart.
That's not all. With the birth of the demon race, demonic energy permeates the world. If these trapped demonic souls become tainted by this energy and are no longer controlled by the Demon-Locking Banner, they may very well turn into demons themselves.
The demonic souls transformed into more than two hundred demonic souls, and the outcome was predictable.
Therefore, before the ritual, Bai Mao went to Song Tianshan, hoping that Song Tianshan could help set up an array to isolate the demonic energy for the ritual.
Apart from Huo Fei, no one in the demon race currently knows how to use intricate formations. Therefore, they have no choice but to seek help from Song Tianshan.
Song Tianshan's mission was to get close to Yin Huan, and as soon as Bai Mao explained his purpose, he agreed without hesitation.
All the guardians of the Five Star Formation were in position. White Hair looked up at the sky, then flashed to the outer edge of the formation to protect them.
This ritual must not be disturbed; someone must protect it.
Yin Huan's expression was cold and solemn. She took a deep breath, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, she closed her eyes, and sat cross-legged on the ground.
After making some preparations, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, her gaze shimmering like the stars in the night sky. With a flick of her wrist, she tossed the Demon-Sealing Banner into the air.
The moment the Demon-Locking Banner slipped from her grasp, it tumbled inside.
The demonic souls trapped inside the banner seemed to have found an exit, and one by one they twisted their bodies and squeezed out of the banner.
They roared madly and pounced fiercely on the only living creature in the formation, as if only by tearing her apart could they find release.
