Chapter 360: The Evil in the Underground, Is Li Wu a Messenger of the Devil?
The true partner connects both body and soul.
Having communicated with Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess so many times, how could Li Mo not feel the authenticity of their feelings for him?
Let’s not mention the Moon Goddess for now; initially, she might have offered herself due to jealousy over Fei Yan.
However, Fei Yan was certainly wholeheartedly devoted to him.
Her character setting was that of a lovestruck person.
Someone who could disregard everything for her beloved.
“If only my strength were sufficient; otherwise, that strike just now would have been enough to kill him.”
Looking at the gravely injured Donghuang Taiyi, Fei Yan said with deep regret.
The Moon Goddess comforted her from the side: “To have injured him is no easy feat; Senior Sister’s skills have improved significantly.”
Considering that the opponent was Donghuang Taiyi, a master who had entered the Spirit Realm many years ago, anyone else would have certainly perished from that strike.
After just calming his injuries, Donghuang Taiyi couldn’t help but spew another mouthful of black blood after hearing the sisters’ mocking words.
The injuries intensified even more!
“I want you two dead!”
Having lived so long, this was the first time he experienced betrayal.
Moreover, it was from his two most valued subordinates.
In his current state, he could no longer care about his injuries and roared to kill the two of them out of rage.
But how could Li Mo let him have his way?
He immediately responded to Donghuang Taiyi, clashing ferociously!
Once they began fighting, Li Mo finally realized just how terrifying Donghuang Taiyi was.
The Yin-Yang School’s techniques were extremely powerful, but their only drawback was that they required time to execute.
However, Donghuang Taiyi had no such limitations.
With a mere gesture, waves of profound “Dragon’s Energy” surged forth!
In just a few exchanges, the two had already turned the grand hall into a chaotic battlefield.
Seeing this, Da Shiming instinctively wanted to intervene.
But with a single glance from Fei Yan, she hesitated, standing still, unsure whether to act.
Her true fear of Fei Yan was even greater than her fear of Donghuang Taiyi!
But Lady Ehuang’s face was also filled with conflict.
Nu Ying was still in Li Mo’s hands; if she took action, it would be fine if she could kill Li Mo.
If she couldn’t, there would be absolutely no chance for Nu Ying to survive.
Moreover, looking at the current situation, on one side was the heavily injured Donghuang Taiyi and several Ninth Grade Elders.
On the other side were the youthful and vigorous Li Mo and the two senior sisters who were about to enter the Spirit Realm.
It seemed that Li Mo had the upper hand.
“Dongjun, Moon Goddess, the Yin-Yang School has treated you well; I advise you not to cling to your delusions!”
Lord Xiang shouted angrily, strongly condemning the actions of Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess.
However, the response he received was the combined strike of the two sisters.
Lord Xiang struggled to block the Moon Goddess’s attack but was knocked flying by Fei Yan’s raised hand.
Fei Yan either didn’t make a move, or once she did, she left no survivors.
As Lord Xiang flew through the air, she was hit again, shattering bones all over her body.
Seeing this, Lord Yunzhong was immediately frightened into inaction.
His strength was not superior to Lord Xiang’s.
Taking action now would be seeking death!
“What will you choose?”
After dealing with Lord Xiang, Fei Yan coldly looked at Lord Yunzhong.
Lord Yunzhong suddenly felt a chill wash over him and hurriedly said, “I am willing to be the vanguard for the National Advisor and Dongjun!”
Fei Yan snorted coldly, not viewing Lord Yunzhong as a threat at all.
On the other side, the battle between Li Mo and Donghuang Taiyi had reached a fever pitch.
Although Donghuang Taiyi was heavily injured by Fei Yan, his strength surged with anger.
Each clash caused the ground to shake and the mountains to move.
Donghuang Taiyi pushed the Yin-Yang Technique to its limits, with beams of light continuously descending and crashing toward Li Mo.
Li Mo was equally unyielding, with thunderous power raining down simultaneously.
Each strike seemed capable of destroying the heavens and earth.
In the face of such a battle, even the Moon Goddess and Fei Yan were unable to intervene.
Their attacks had nearly surpassed human limits, drawn entirely from the forces of nature.
This also made the two sisters truly aware of the gap between the Spirit Realm and the Free and Unfettered Realm.
The originally magnificent palace was reduced to ruins beneath their fight.
The Moon Goddess led the Grand Priestess to a safe area.
Meanwhile, the battle outside was drawing to a close.
Although the number of soldiers from Great Qin was not as many as the Chiyou tribe, they were armed with gunpowder.
Ordinary Yin-Yang School disciples were also falling apart.
Star Soul was directly killed by Wei Zhuang.
Bai Siming was captured alive after being sent by Fei Yan.
As for why Star Soul was killed while Bai Siming was spared, Fei Yan naturally had her own plans.
“Boom!”
A huge sound erupted.
Li Mo and Donghuang Taiyi’s attacks collided again, shaking the ground.
The ground was directly pierced through.
The stone surface beneath them finally could not withstand the destruction from the two and began to collapse.
Below this palace lay a vast space.
The two fell straight down.
Seeing this, the Grand Priestess’s face changed dramatically: “Not good! Stop them! They can’t continue to fight!”
Da Shiming, standing obediently beside the Moon Goddess, shot her a glance, as if she were an idiot.
If you’re capable, go and stop them?
This battle was one that even Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess couldn’t interrupt; a slip-up would lead to death.
At this point, both sides were in a situation where they would either die or let the other die.
How could it possibly end?
“What do you mean?”
Fei Yan, leading the captured Bai Siming, found the Moon Goddess and coincidentally overheard the Grand Priestess’s previous words.
She felt that something was off.
If the space below only housed the Chiyou Magic Sword and the War Demon God, the Grand Priestess shouldn’t be reacting so strongly.
If those two magical items were destroyed in this battle, she should be more than pleased.
Sure enough, the Grand Priestess worriedly looked at the ground, which was punched out with a huge hole, explaining, “There’s not only the Chiyou Magic Sword and the War Demon God down there, but also a demon!”
Hearing this, the Moon Goddess and Fei Yan almost simultaneously recalled something.
They exclaimed in unison, “Black Shadow?”
“Black Shadow?”
When Li Mo came to Loulan, it was not just to unravel the mystery of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon and find its hidden secrets.
He was also looking for the black shadow that had been troubling Li Wu.
Initially, Bai Xianwu had been resurrected from Loulan!
If nothing unexpected occurs, the “demon” mentioned by the Grand Priestess is likely the black shadow that resurrected Bai Xianwu back then!
“What exactly is that thing?”
Fei Yan, who had been calm, could no longer maintain her composure.
Because based on Li Mo’s speculation, that black shadow’s strength had likely surpassed the Spirit Realm!
Just how powerful it was, no one knew!
“That thing… is a demon, a particularly terrifying demon!”
“You must stop them, quickly stop them!”
“The Chiyou Magic Sword cannot be moved; without the suppression of that sword, the demon will reappear in the world!”
From the cave created by Li Mo and Donghuang Taiyi, the sounds of their battle continued to echo.
The two were fighting underground, causing the earth to shake as if a violent earthquake had occurred.
“How is my master?”
Just then, Li Wu had also resolved the matters with the Chiyou tribe and rushed over.
The Grand Priestess instinctively turned to glance at her.
But that single glance nearly terrified her to death!
“Y-you… how could you be here?”
The Grand Priestess stepped back repeatedly, incredulously pointing at the approaching Li Wu.
“You’ve seen her?”
The Moon Goddess reached out to stabilize the swaying Grand Priestess while asking.
Li Wu echoed, “You’ve seen me?”
In truth, they all understood that if this Grand Priestess had indeed seen Li Wu, it should refer to Bai Xianwu when she left Loulan long ago,
and not the Li Wu who had now occupied Bai Xianwu’s body.
“You are the demon…”
“She is the demon?”
The three girls exchanged glances.
This didn’t match Li Mo’s speculation.
The Grand Priestess shook her head and continued, “You are the demon… you are the messenger of the demon! It was you who killed the previous Grand Priestess, you are the enemy of our Loulan!”
This lined up perfectly!
It turned out that Li Mo’s guess was almost spot on.
Back in the day, Bai Xianwu was indeed saved by that black shadow.
After being resurrected in a special state, Bai Xianwu left Loulan.
However, she was discovered by the previous Grand Priestess, who was responsible for guarding the Chiyou Magic Sword and the War Demon God.
Thus, she killed the previous Grand Priestess.
It was at that moment that the current Grand Priestess took over and became the new Grand Priestess.
But what exactly was this “demon” she spoke of, and how could it possess such terrifying power to turn a dead person into an unkillable monster?
