Although the scholar looked the same as him, upon closer inspection, Song Shuhang realized that this scholar wasn't him. Instead, it was a part of him — his Reiki … the Reiki that had been forcefully borrowed by that mysterious expert.
Strange, wasn't this ancient well able to see the hidden ambitions or desires in the depths of his heart? Why was he seeing his own Reiki?
Could it be that the hidden ambition in the depths of his heart was to make my Reiki a powerful cultivator of the Confucian school? What about me? Where was I myself?
Could it be that I was just sitting around waiting for death, letting Reiki take my place as a righteous partner, and finally obtaining both fame and fortune? Why do I feel that … I'm not that kind of person?
Or perhaps, this isn't the ambition and desires in the depths of my heart, but something that really happened?
If it really happened, then the connection between me and Reiki had already been cut off, so how could I see such a scene? Did I reestablish a connection with Reiki through the power of this ancient well?
However, the visual angle of the scene wasn't that of 'Reiki', but that of a bystander.
...
...
Just as Song Shuhang was deep in thought, the battle between the scholarly Reiki and that demon had already begun in the image of the ancient well.
It should be a very fierce battle.
But to be honest, Song Shuhang was baffled by what he saw.
He could only see that the scholarly Reiki and that filthy demon were standing opposite each other, staring at each other. There were spots of light constantly flashing between the two.
Those spots of light seemed to be the traces of the battle between the two.
However, Song Shuhang couldn't see how the two of them fought at all.
However, a large number of demons were dying in the vicinity of the battle.
These dead demons were of different shapes and sizes. Among them, there was one that looked like a human, with a full beard, wearing pink clothes, and a bright red belt around its body …
When he saw this figure, Song Shuhang suddenly muttered, "A disciple of the Netherworld?"
Although he had no memory of the appearance of these disciples of the Netherworld, he felt that he had seen them somewhere before.
Was it a lost memory?
If he had lost his memory, did he meet this demon on the mysterious island?
…
…
Just like that, the filthy evil spirit and Reiki, who was dressed like a Confucian scholar, fought in a way that Song Shuhang could not understand at all.
It was unknown how long the two sides maintained this stalemate. Suddenly, the filthy evil spirit let out a sinister laugh.
Following that, Song Shuhang saw the entire 'Nine Nether' turn into a sticky black liquid that poured into the filthy demon's body. The demon's aura continued to rise!
On the other hand, the scrolls beside Reiki, who was dressed like a Confucian scholar, began to burn. Not long after, all the scrolls around him were burned to ashes.
Song Shuhang's heart tightened, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart.
Reiki, who was dressed like a Confucian scholar, sighed faintly. "Looks like it's time to end this."
While speaking, a figure emerged from Reiki's body. It was the lustrous scholar that had forcefully borrowed Reiki's body.
At this time, the killing intent and craziness in his eyes had calmed down a lot, and there was a look of unwillingness on his face. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have enough energy, if he had more time, he would have been able to seal and suppress this demon.
It was a pity that there weren't so many 'ifs' in this world.
The lustrous scholar took a step forward, and a huge scroll condensed beside him. This scroll enveloped his body, and the Sage's Voice resounded, purifying the evil aura in the surroundings. Then, the scroll shot toward the filthy evil spirit.
As for Song Shuhang's Reiki, he was also enveloped by the scholar's power, and a spatial gate appeared beside Reiki.
[Go back, return to your master's side.] The voice of the lustrous scholar echoed in Song Shuhang's Reiki's ears.
At the same time, Song Shuhang felt his body tremble slightly.
He had regained the connection between him and Reiki. Sure enough, the scene he saw from the 'ancient well' wasn't some wild dream. Rather, it was the scene of the lustrous scholar that had forcefully taken over his body entering the Netherworld and fighting against someone.
This battle had already reached its final stage. As such, the lustrous scholar wanted to send Song Shuhang's Reiki back.
The moment the connection between him and Reiki was established, Song Shuhang was able to sense Reiki's current state.
Pain, pain, pain!
There were two extremely deep wounds on Reiki's back. The pain he was feeling was indescribable.
Song Shuhang's face was deathly pale from the pain.
Not only that, but Reiki also felt as if he had sunk into filthy sludge, and his entire body felt uncomfortable. If not for the last bit of the lustrous scholar's power protecting him, Reiki would have long since been contaminated by that filthy sludge and become one of the demons.
Song Shuhang was in so much pain that he was gasping for breath.
At this time, the spatial crack expanded and pulled Reiki's body into it.
[I'm sorry. I borrowed Reiki from you for so long, and I wanted to give you a satisfactory reward when I sent Reiki back. But now, everything I had on me has been reduced to ashes, and I don't have anything to give you as a reward. I might have to go back on my words.] The lustrous scholar's voice was transmitted to Song Shuhang's ears through Reiki.
Song Shuhang sighed softly. He had already received the reward long ago. The energy transmitted to him by the lustrous scholar allowed him to break through from the Second Stage Realm to the Third Stage Realm. This reward was more than enough to cover the price he had to pay for borrowing Reiki.
As though he had sensed what Song Shuhang was thinking, the lustrous scholar turned his head around and faintly smiled. [Ah, in that case … I'm relieved.]
After saying this much, the spatial gate completely enveloped Reiki, and the teleportation started …
At this time, the wee hours of the morning had passed in China, and the next day had arrived.
August 10th, Saturday. Dao name: Path-seeking Scholar.
Reiki entered the teleportation space, but Song Shuhang could still see the battle between the lustrous scholar and the demon.
… …
… …
"Roar, roar, roar, roar!" But right at this time, that filthy demon of the Netherworld roared crazily.
In the next moment, the viscous black liquid that came from the Netherworld Realm poured into the body of the demon like a boundless sea.
The entire Netherworld Realm was acting as the shield for this demon. Under the support of this tremendous energy, the demon instantly broke through the limits of its original realm and reached an even higher realm!
This kind of energy had a time limit, and it could only be maintained for a few breaths.
But for the demon, it was more than enough.
Over a thousand demonic claws stretched out of the body of the filthy demon and crazily attacked the 'scroll' that the lustrous scholar had condensed.
It only took a single attack for the scroll to be completely destroyed.
At the same time, the thousand demonic claws intertwined with each other and condensed into a magical technique that resembled a huge black sun.
The lustrous scholar stood with his hands crossed behind his back. He didn't put up any defense and directly faced the huge black sun.
Actually, he didn't have the slightest ability to resist at this time. The remaining energy he had was barely enough to keep his body from dissipating.
He wasn't afraid of death … because he was already a dead man a long, long time ago.
"Boom ~"
The huge black sun descended and swallowed the body of the lustrous scholar. The body of the scholar turned into particles and dissipated in the Netherworld Realm.
In the center of his body, a lustrous brush could be seen. It was the magical treasure that the lustrous scholar had parasitized, a magical treasure of the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender rank.
But under the terrifying power of the huge black sun, the lustrous brush exploded into pieces in just a breath's time. Fragments of the brush flew in all directions …
The huge black sun was incomparably terrifying. After swallowing the lustrous scholar, it exploded. The power of the explosion filled Song Shuhang's vision!
Moreover … the explosion of the huge black sun ignored the limitations of space, and the energy of the huge black sun pierced into the void.
Song Shuhang's Reiki, who was in the middle of being teleported, was unexpectedly affected by the power of the huge black sun.
"Not good!" Song Shuhang said in alarm.
In the next moment, the power of the explosion of the huge black sun swept toward Song Shuhang's Reiki.
Reiki felt as if he had been thrown into a blender and was being kneaded into dough. Then, it felt as if a powerful force was pulling at his Reiki, trying to turn it into noodles!
The whole process was accompanied by intense pain.
This pain was transmitted to Song Shuhang's main body through the shared senses. The pain made him break out in cold sweat.
Reiki, who had already been promoted to a high-tier, possessed intelligence that wasn't any weaker than humans. In the next moment, he decisively cut off the connection between him and his main body, allowing his main body to avoid this intense pain.
As the connection was cut off, Song Shuhang panted in pain. His contract with Reiki was still there, so he could sense Reiki's current state.
A powerful force was pulling Reiki, trying to drag him into a bottomless abyss.
But Reiki didn't have the slightest ability to resist.
"What should I do?" Song Shuhang clenched his fists.
…
…
Boom boom boom boom ~
The power of the huge black sun was still shaking the space. During the explosion, a lustrous fragment was attracted by Reiki's aura and landed on Reiki's body.
Buzz ~
When that lustrous fragment came into contact with Reiki, the lustrous scholar's aura appeared for a short period of time.
The lustrous scholar's remaining power let out a bitter laugh.
After a short moment, his voice rang out in Reiki's ears.
"I'm sorry, Little Friend. I might not be able to smoothly send your Reiki back to you.
"I didn't expect that I would have to break my promise again.
"Toppling the Mountain of Myriad Books, the Still Pond of Wisdom …"
The lustrous scholar seemed to want to reveal some information to Song Shuhang, but before he could finish his words, the sound of explosions kept ringing out beside Reiki.
Boom!!
The power of the explosions twisted and turned into a power that surpassed space. That power wrapped around Reiki like a noodle, pulling Reiki into a ball and dragging him into the abyss …
"No!" Song Shuhang shouted in his heart.
However, that terrifying power still grabbed his ghost spirit and disappeared without a trace.
…
…
Boom ~
