As soon as Zhou Ting saw the people around him collapsing one after another, he suddenly remembered the rumor that this devil could infect one's soul through sight, hearing and hearing. He knew the situation was bad and shouted, "Everyone, quickly close your seven apertures! Stabilize your mind! "
Many cultivators who did not have a high cultivation experience did not know what to do. When they heard this, they quickly isolated their senses and sat down to stabilize their minds, not daring to act rashly. At that moment, only a few people on the stage were not affected by the demon's control and stood steadily.
Zhou Ting grabbed a handful of talismans and sprinkled them down. Each of the talismans was pasted on the fainted person's fontanelle, suppressing his mana and spiritual vigor.
An elder asked in surprise, "Zhenren Zhou, what are you doing?"
Zhou Ting said coldly, "The demon seems to have the ability to infect one's mind. If I don't control it, I'm afraid my inner demon will be born and I will die."
The elder exclaimed in shock, "This devil has this kind of ability?"
Zhou Ting said, "It's better to be careful."
Elder Wu cupped his hands and volunteered, "Zhenren Zhou, let me meet this demon. If I can force the demon to show himself, that would be the best."
Because the true devil had not appeared for a long time, and the number of old Daoist books that he had read was far less than Zhou Ting's, he still thought that the devil was refined by a cultivator and did not think that it was the true devil.
Zhou Ting hesitated for a while and did not reveal the demon's origin. He only said vaguely, "This demon is very strange, Elder Wu, don't be careless."
Wu Chang Daoren agreed and leaped. Others might be afraid of the demon's power but he cultivated one of the four Qis of Yuxiao school, the Mind Clean-Cleansing Scripture. This scripture emphasized on internal cultivation, using one's body and protecting one's primordial spirit. It was the least afraid of external demons.
When the demon saw him flying over, it seemed to be unhappy with his Qi dynamic. It turned on the spot and was about to hide again.
Elder Wu had seen this devil disappear twice in a row and was already prepared for him to use such a trick to escape. His eyes widened and two thunderous lights flashed in his eyes.
The demon was one step slower and had not completely disappeared. When he was hit by the light, his entire body suddenly burned with raging flames.
This was the first time he had met someone who could injure him. He turned around and looked at Elder Wu with a gaze filled with malice. He then shook his body as if he was taking off a piece of clothing. He actually threw off half of his body that was on fire, and then disappeared from the world once again.
Seeing this result, Elder Wu could not help but be startled.
The Dharmic Gate he used. This was one of the sixteen techniques of Yuxiao, the "Little Astral Yang Fire". It drew the power of the stars into the body, and then combined it with hundreds of rare foreign objects to refine a mouthful of Extreme Yang Star Fire. Once released, any demonic creature would be wiped out in an instant.
In the past, he had never failed against devil sect cultivators. He didn't expect this devil to be able to escape so easily after being hit by this technique. This was beyond his expectations.
He circled around the altar a few times, but did not see the devil appear again. After thinking for a while, he suspected that the devil was hiding underground, so he went down to search again. This time, he returned to the altar with no results.
On the altar, Zhou Ying saw him return and anxiously asked, "Elder Wu. Did you find the whereabouts of this devil? "
Elder Wu shook his head, "This devil is very cunning. He has been hiding and has not come out. If Sage Zhou can lend me the Spirit Locking Bell, I might be able to find him."
Before Zhou Ting could speak, Zhou Ying shook his head, "No, no. He said, "No, no. Without this, the altar will not be complete. If the Devil Sect attacks, how are we going to defend against them?"
Zhou Ting furrowed his eyebrows. The Devil Lord lingering outside was a huge hidden danger. At this moment, if he sent people out, it was very likely that they would be ambushed midway. All the plans that he had previously thought of would be useless. If this continued, he could only sit and watch as the Devil Sect wreaked havoc.
He said hatefully, "This devil is too big of a threat. No matter what, we must find him!"
Elder Wu looked over and asked, "Sage Zhou, what do you want to do?"
Zhou Ting said decisively, "I want to activate the Nine Astral Energy Gathering Formation under the altar and activate the Heavenly Lightning Meteor Fire to cleanse the filthy devils within a hundred miles."
Elder Wu pondered, "Although this is a good idea, isn't it making a big fuss over a minor issue for this devil? Why not wait for the devil sect cultivators to come and activate it together? "
Zhou Ting shook his head. The devil was too hard to defend against and had many tricks up his sleeves. If he just sat there and did nothing, it would be very passive. Moreover, he thought that the reason why the devil sect cultivators stopped outside was probably because they were waiting for something to happen. Before the outcome of the battle was decided, they might not come over so easily. Thus, he said, "I only need to activate a corner of the formation plate. It shouldn't be too powerful, but I need someone to lure the devil out."
Elder Wu thought for a while. Although he didn't agree, if they didn't find a way to solve this problem, it wouldn't be good for them to fight the devil sect freely. Thus, he said, "Sage Zhou is the person appointed by the mountain gate to take charge. Since you have already made your decision, we will just follow it."
Zhou Ying hesitated for a while and said, "Elder Wu, Just Now, we have scared the devil away. If we go again, it might not show itself. Why don't you let me go?"
If it was possible, Zhou Ting didn't want to use the Zhou clan members. However, there weren't many people who could do this. After looking around, only Zhou Ying was suitable. Thus, he agreed, "Junior Brother, it's good if you go. Wait for a while, I have something to say to you."
Elder Wu was also tactful. He found an excuse and left.
Zhou Ting waited for him to leave and called Zhou Ying to the side. With a serious expression, he said, "I guess the devil's origin. It's very likely that it's a devil that has become sentient."
Hearing this, Zhou Ying turned pale with fright, "True Devil?" His thoughts turned quickly, "This kind of devil, why doesn't Shixiong quickly report it to the sect?"
Zhou Ting said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother, don't panic. Even though a devil is strange and hard to defend against, it has its weaknesses. It's not like we don't have a way to deal with it. Moreover, we don't lack people and talismans. If we can't deal with it, what can we do if we report it to the sect? Can we ask the sect's Sage Zhenren to come and kill the devil? "
Zhou Ying couldn't help but be speechless.
In order to fight for the devil's cave, the sect had given them all kinds of treasures. Among them, there were treasures that could restrain evil. If they were helpless, the sect would have no better way.
Moreover, a devil was not a Sky Demon. Even if the Zhenren knew, they wouldn't have an excuse to come out. Even if they reported it to the sect, it would be like throwing a stone into the sea. There would be no result. Instead, some people in the clan would think that they were useless.
Thinking of this, he said worriedly, "But if this devil becomes a Sky Demon …"
Zhou Ting interrupted him and said, "Senior Brother, you must kill it. If it turns to find my disciples outside, no one can stop it."
Zhou Ying was shocked. He also noticed the danger of the situation. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother, I will do whatever you say."
Zhou Ting took off his cloak and put it on him. He said, "This Taoist robe can help you defend against external devils. You just need to be careful and calm your mind. He won't take advantage of you."
He then took out a shiny round pearl from his sleeve and placed it in Zhou Ying's hand. He said, "Keep it well."
Zhou Lian recognized this pearl as a defensive treasure. He carefully put it in his sleeve and cupped his hands. "Don't worry, Senior Brother. I will lure this devil out even if I have to sacrifice my life."
Zhou Ting was dissatisfied. He said, "I'm giving you the talisman not to fight with your life. I'm giving it to you to protect yourself."
Zhou Lian hurriedly bowed and said, "I said the wrong thing. I almost let down Senior Brother's good intentions."
Zhou Ting looked outside and saw that a few altars a few hundred miles away suddenly dimmed. He said, "We can't delay any longer. We need to get rid of this devil as soon as possible."
Zhou Lian responded and wrapped his cloak tightly around himself. With a leap, he flew up into the sky and circled around in all directions, attempting to lure the devil to reveal himself.
Zhou Ting walked to the highest point of the altar and sat on the array position.
Not long after, there was a sudden shout from the southwest, and there was also the sound of mana clashing. He turned his head to take a look and saw a demonic shadow circling around Zhou Ying. He knew that his chance had come, he raised his hand and pressed on the Forbidden Pivot, pouring all the mana in his body into it.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumble. In the southwest corner, there was a stream of star fire. The bright light shone through the sky.
Even Sima Quan, who was over a thousand miles away, could see the commotion clearly. He laughed and said to the person beside him, "Yu Xiao must be in a terrible fix right now. Send a letter to the fellow Daoists of the various sects. Tell them that chaos has arisen on the other side and they can't even take care of themselves. They can attack with full force later."
The cultivator beside him bowed and left.
At this moment, a disciple came up and said, "Master, from what I can see, that array looks like the Nine Stars Vitality Gathering Array?"
Sima Quan nodded and said, "You're not wrong. It is indeed this formation. The Jadecloud Sect has really thought far ahead this time, and their planning is meticulous. They've actually even set up a formation of this level. If they had waited until we've attacked the altar and activated it, although it may not have been able to harm us, the demons we've brought along with us would probably have been swept clean on the spot."
The disciple was shocked and said, "So that means that the true devil will very likely die under this array?"
Sima Quan laughed and said, "If this devil hadn't swallowed two of its own kind, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been able to withstand this attack. As for now, hehe, you just have to wait and see."
Outside of Zhengyang Profound Altar, smoke and dust billowed. A streak of light flew out from within and landed on the platform. Zhou Ying appeared from within. He hurried to the top of the platform and said, "Just Now when the array was activated, I only cared about dodging. I wonder what happened to that devil?"
Zhou Ting looked over. Just Now when the power of the array was activated, a hundred miles of mountains and rivers were all within it. That true devil's speed wasn't fast, so it probably couldn't escape. This Nine Stars Vitality Gathering Array didn't care if you were a tangible or intangible object. As long as it was a Yin spirit or evil spirit, it could be wiped out in one fell swoop. He said, "It's done, but we can't be careless."
Zhou Lian hurriedly said yes, but he knew that since Zhou Ting said so, the devil had most likely been wiped out, and the danger this time had been dealt with. His heart instantly calmed down, and he thought to himself, "Getting rid of this true devil can be considered as my contribution. After this battle, I believe the sect will not fail to reward me.
As the two of them spoke, they didn't notice that the bodies of the Elders who were being suppressed by the talismans all trembled. From their mouths, eyes, ears, and noses, thin wisps of black smoke that were almost non-existent were emitted. Then, they gathered in one place, and after a hundred breaths' time, they transformed into a blurry human figure.
