Seeing that Lin Yibai had been controlled by the Immortal-Binding Rope, Shen Qing turned her gaze to the huge demonic beast.
The demonic beast was trapped in the Demon-Slaying Formation by Fang Yinnian and others, unable to move.
The surrounding small demonic beasts had been slain, and only more than twenty remained. The junior disciples at the Golden Core stage who were injured were taken away by the disciples of the Azure Wood Sect to recuperate.
The situation was under control, and only then did Shen Qing and the others gradually relax.
Suddenly, Ling Zhou's voice came into her mind. It was a bit weak but still sounded energetic: "Little disciple, the matter is resolved."
After Ling Zhou lent all his power to her, he hid in the space to recuperate. Now that his soul had been stabilized, when he came out, he found that the matter was almost resolved.
Hearing Ling Zhou's voice, Shen Qing immediately thought of Elder Yaoyue.
"Master, how are you now?"
"I'm fine. The spiritual energy in the small space is abundant, so I've recovered."
Ling Zhou said it lightly, but in fact, after he gave all his power to Shen Qing, his soul was almost transparent. If he hadn't returned to the space immediately, he might have dissipated in the next moment.
Ten years in the space was equivalent to one year in the real world. Shen Qing had borrowed Ling Zhou's power for a few hours, and several years had already passed in the space.
Shen Qing obviously also thought of this and asked with concern.
But hearing that Ling Zhou's tone was normal, Shen Qing didn't continue to ask.
She hesitated for a while and asked, "Master, I was holding Biluo just now, and Elder Yaoyue recognized its appearance. This..."
Hearing Yaoyue's name, Ling Zhou's heart trembled, and he immediately remembered that beautiful figure.
That cold and elegant woman, like the Goddess of the Moon, would often secretly drag him to the mortal world to catch cats, tease dogs, visit brothels, and beat hooligans...
Her bold and unrestrained appearance made people ignore her peerless beauty and directly call her a shrew.
"How is she..."
"Elder Yaoyue fainted. She should have been taken by the disciples of the Azure Wood Sect to receive treatment."
Hearing that Yaoyue was okay, Ling Zhou secretly let out a sigh of relief.
A thousand years ago, things happened suddenly. Even the sword spirit of Biluo dissipated to protect him. In the end, he could only hide in this jade pendant to catch his breath and survive in the form of a soul.
Now... it wasn't a good time to meet.
If Yaoyue knew that his physical body was still alive and hadn't dissipated, she would definitely try every means to break into the Demon Abyss. That was too dangerous...
"Little disciple, the time is not right yet. You must never tell Yaoyue that I'm still alive."
Shen Qing knew that Ling Zhou must have his reasons for saying this, so she nodded and then asked, "Then how should I explain Biluo?"
Ling Zhou thought for a while and said, "Just say... you found it by chance beside the cold pool when you went to the back mountain to practice swordsmanship. She will believe it."
Shen Qing remembered that there were sharp sword marks on the stones and trees around the cold pool in the back mountain.
She had only been there once because the place was too desolate. The sect disciples only went to the training ground to practice, and Shen Qing never knew who left those sword marks.
"Master, did you often go to the cold pool to practice swordsmanship?"
Ling Zhou said proudly, "Naturally. My swordsmanship is much more advanced than that of Heng Ling. He has become an elder now. If it were me, I would surely be the vice sect master."
Hearing this, Shen Qing was just about to tease him when she heard a roar, and the sand and stones on the ground flew up instantly.
"Not good!!"
"The demonic energy of this demonic beast has suddenly increased greatly. The Demon-Slaying Formation can't hold it anymore!"
Fang Yinnian was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was thinking desperately of a way to solve the problem.
In the Sea Coral City, besides him, there were two great experts at the Fusion stage, but they had gone out half a month ago and hadn't returned yet.
Among the elders of the sect, Elder Feiyun and True Person Xingji had been eroded by demonic energy and couldn't wake up in a short time.
For a moment, he really couldn't find anyone who could continue to maintain the Demon-Slaying Formation.
If these demonic beasts were released into the city, Fang Yinnian didn't even dare to think about what would happen.
Lin Yibai, who had been tied up, still seemed a bit unstable because of the demonic energy.
But suddenly, she felt a relaxation all over her body, and the feeling of being controlled by the demonic energy was much reduced. At the same time, she heard a voice transmission.
"Xiaobai, I've always said that you should come back to the Demon Realm with me and be my Demon Lord's wife. You didn't want to, and now you're in such a mess."
The deliberately drawn - out tone and the lazy voice made Lin Yibai feel a strange sensation all over her body. It was familiar and exciting.
If Lin Yibai regarded everyone in this world as supporting characters and tools, there was only one person who really made her feel excited.
That was the Demon Lord, Ji Chongming.
Ji Chongming's appearance was exactly in line with Lin Yibai's aesthetic. He had a pair of slanting and evil eyes, red hair and golden eyes. His evil and handsome face always wore a charming and unruly smile.
This kind of appearance was extremely rare, whether in the real world or after she transmigrated into the book.
Before transmigrating into the book, let alone the ordinary people in the real world. Most of the cultivators she met in the cultivation world were upright and solemn.
So when she saw Ji Chongming, Lin Yibai's heart was like being hit by Cupid's arrow.
But the system repeatedly told her not to contact Ji Chongming before seizing the fortune, otherwise it would change the plot in the book and affect her fate as the female protagonist.
"System, why did Ji Chongming appear?"
The system said helplessly, "You swallowed his demonic pill. He probably sensed your aura and came here."
"Originally, according to the plot, he should be killing everywhere in the Demon Realm now, dealing with those unfaithful subordinates. I don't know... if his coming here will affect the subsequent plot."
Ji Chongming's sudden appearance made Lin Yibai feel extremely uneasy.
"What should we do now?"
The system rolled its eyes silently: "How do I know? The plot has deviated so much that there's no way back. Just take it one step at a time."
Lin Yibai was not satisfied with this answer, and her mental voice became a bit sharp: "Aren't you an all - powerful system? Now that Ji Chongming has appeared, should I go with him or stay here?"
"Give me some advice!"
"If you stay here, you'll be regarded as a demonic cultivator. If you go to the Demon Realm, you'll be regarded as a supplement that comes to your door. You choose for yourself. I don't know."
After the system quickly said this, it didn't say anything more.
??
"How can you be so irresponsible! Tell me quickly what I should do?"
"System! System!"
But no matter how much Lin Yibai called, the system didn't appear again.
The angry expression on Lin Yibai's face froze and gradually turned into a tangled one.
Shen Qing, separated by Hong Chaoyang and Pei Xuanjing, stared at Lin Yibai with burning eyes.
Just now, when Ji Chongming transmitted his voice to Lin Yibai, no one on the scene noticed that trace of demonic energy.
But just right, Shen Qing, who had obtained Ling Zhou's power, could clearly see that trace of demonic energy that was so black it was evil.
Following the direction from which the demonic energy came, Shen Qing saw those golden eyes in the forest.
