"It's your turn next, Black Bear Monster. You want to burn me to death with fire, right?"

With a loud bang, another sword swept out, cutting off the black bear's head and everything around it. Even the ground was cut more than a foot deep by this sword, revealing a gully.

The power of this move has surpassed all previous moves. The black flame burned on the black bear's head and finally turned into charcoal.

"I've been laying the groundwork for so long, and finally I've forced your true form to come over here."

"You did it on purpose, just to set me up!"

The evil spirit's voice was sharp and piercing, like rusty gears grinding against each other, or like the whimper of someone who didn't want to die. It made people feel uncomfortable listening to it and feel disgusted from the bottom of their souls.

"uh-huh."

A spear condensed in his hand, and suddenly the entire void was illuminated, emitting a faint blue light, and drawing a strange trajectory in the air.

Lin Tian pushed out his palms suddenly, and the spear turned into a blue lightning that shot up into the sky, meeting the black air released by the evil spirit. Cracks spread where the two met.

Lin Tian summoned the black hole and directly swallowed this powerful force into it. Only then did he remember that he had forgotten to release Xuannv.

After completely devouring the evil spirit and converting it into his own means of attack, Lin Tiancai released Xuannv with an awkward smile.

When she opened her eyes, Xuannv saw Lin Tian's tragic appearance being corroded by the black gas. Her face turned pale immediately, tears rolled in her eyes, and she couldn't believe it.

"Lin Tian, ​​how come you can do that too?"

"Um, why did you confuse that fake corpse with me?"

Scratching his head, Lin Tian asked in confusion.

Turning around and looking at Lin Tian, ​​Xuannv suddenly realized. She thought Lin Tian had been burned to death, and her heart was finally at ease.

Looking around, she saw Lin Tian was the only one there. Then a feeling of sadness surged into her heart. Xuannu's eyes turned red and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Hey, why are you crying for no reason?"

Seeing Xuannv crying, Lin Tian was at a loss.

"Where's Qiuyu? This must be fate."

"Let me confirm this. I've locked you up for too long. Is your brain not working? If so, I apologize in advance."

Lin Tian reached out and touched Xuannv's head, cursing softly.

Xuannv's face turned slightly red, and she looked at Lin Tian with a reproachful look, and she seemed to understand something in a trance.

"Shall we go find her now?"

"Don't worry, let's plan first."

"Logically, the door to the outside world will open after they defeat Gu Yuan, but in your current state, I don't know if you can leave here intact."

Lin Tian frowned and said, of course he knew that Mu Qiuyu still wanted to see Xuannv.

Especially when she knew that Xuannv was still alive, but died because of the trial she had taken her place in, she would definitely not feel good.

Therefore, whether or not to let them know about Xuannv’s existence is also a question that Lin Tian wants to discuss with Xuannv.

Upon hearing this, Xuannv remained silent. Looking at Lin Tian who was in deep thought, Xuannv took out a bead from her storage ring and handed it to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian picked up the bead and examined it, his face immediately lit up with joy.

There were countless complicated patterns engraved on the bead, and strange waves were emanating from it. Lin Tian immediately put the bead into his storage ring.

"So you have this pair of beads! This way, your chances of being able to leave are much higher."

"But I think we should not tell them about this for now. I hope they can make a choice without knowing the outcome."

Lin Tian nodded and supported Xuannv's idea.

"Now that you've made your decision, let's go. I'll go be a hero first."

Gu Yuan's face was pale and veins bulged on his forehead. He had never felt such terrible pain.

He felt like his body was about to explode. The intense pain was even worse than being pierced by thousands of arrows. He felt like he was about to die.

At this moment, he felt a fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from his body. The fluctuation was extremely weak and almost imperceptible.

Gu Yuan didn’t know who this fluctuation came from, but it made him feel hopeful.

At this moment, an indifferent and familiar voice came into Gu Yuan's ears.

"Look, if it's your own strength, you can't even beat these two disciples who betrayed their master and ancestors."

"So, why didn't you save me?"

"If I saved you, shouldn't you repay me?"

"Of course. Don't you want a body? I'll give it to you."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan's body smiled slightly. This was his final step, which would also wipe out Gu Yuan's remaining will.

"Master, you can't do this—"

A familiar voice suddenly came into Gu Yuan's ears. He turned around and saw his disciples looking at him in panic.

"Senior Sister Xuanji and Mu Qiuyu World have already told us that your soul has been infected by evil spirits and you have lost yourself."

Listening to his disciple's voice and seeing the worry in his disciple's eyes, Gu Yuan's heart warmed and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

His soul seemed to be trying to wake up. The voices of his disciples gave him strength. He could clearly feel that his soul was recovering bit by bit.

At this moment, Gu Yuan suddenly discovered that his soul was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this situation, Gu Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed, but the evil spirit in his body sensed something was wrong and tried to control him again.

"Don't waste your energy. Since you have chosen me, there is only one outcome for you. That is to be devoured by my soul and become my slave forever."

Xuan Ji was shocked by Gu Yuan's change. She knew that Gu Yuan was trying hard to fight against the evil spirit and had almost lost his mind.

But she still underestimated the harm that evil spirit could do to humans. This evil spirit is a rare toxin in the world and is the nemesis of mankind.

She didn't want to let the evil spirit control Gu Yuan. After all, if Gu Yuan died, what would happen to these disciples? She and Mu Qiuyu would leave here eventually, so she planned to take the initiative and continue to use her spiritual energy to suppress the murderous spirit in Gu Yuan's body.

At this moment, Xuan Ji suddenly felt something breaking through her spiritual energy envelope, and it was about to erode her.

"Oh no, this is..."

Sensing that breath, Xuan Ji's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly withdrew her spiritual energy, but it was too late. As soon as her spiritual energy was withdrawn, Gu Yuan broke through the blockade and rushed out of the spiritual energy encirclement.

"Don't hesitate, Lin Tian is right, protect yourself first and then protect others."

Mu Qiuyu said with a cold face as he shot out a water blade to cut off the connection between Xuan Ji and Gu Yuan.
