On the altar, Zhou Ting frowned when he heard that Elder Pu needed to use talismans to expel the demon, "Must we do this? ‘
Elder Pu said, "Let's put it this way, Zhenren Zhou. That devil's cultivation is very high, even if Zhang Shimei's supernatural powers and Daoist arts are of the highest level, she will still have to be careful when saving people. But if the preparations are made in advance, there will be no need to be afraid of sneak attacks, and you can put your heart and soul into it. In less than an hour, you will be able to expel the devil's poison from your disciples. ""
Zhou Ting thought for a while and said slowly, "If it is only in this corner, there will be no problem. But we cannot go any further. It is not that I am heartless, but this altar is placed above the entrance of the demon's cave. It is crucial to the success of this battle. One mistake and the whole situation will be affected. So we have to be careful."
Elder Pu nodded, "Zhenren Zhou, don't worry. We will be careful and not make things difficult for your sect."
Although he said so, he felt slightly dissatisfied in his heart, thinking, It was the Jadesky Sect that invited me here, now it seems like I'm the one begging you. If I don't do anything, what can you do?
But it was just a thought and he did not dare to leave. The founder of Anatta Temple had set a rule that if a disciple encountered a demon outside, or if a fellow Daoist asked for help, and if they have the ability, then they must help.
He returned to Zhang Zhen's side and told her what Zhou Ting said. He asked Zhou Ying and Elder Wu to leave and brought two female disciples to set up the prohibition spell.
Zhang Zhen stopped what she was doing and stood still at the side, waiting with rapt attention.
Once the prohibition spell was set up, the demon would be greatly restrained. If they wanted to make a move, this was the only time.
About half an hour later, when the prohibition spell was about to be set up, a shadow suddenly appeared from one of the unconscious cultivators. There was an inexplicable smile on his face as he stared at Zhang Zhen. His body turned as if he wanted to transform into her. But halfway through, green smoke came out of his body. He let out a scream.
Elder Pu, who was watching from the outside, mocked in his heart, "Reckless fool!"
All the direct disciples of the Anzhen Temple. Every day, he had to take the Demon Warding Pill and seal his mind to prevent any external demons from invading him.
As for Zhang Zhen, a direct disciple of Master Dongtian, she could cultivate in front of the treasure of the sect, the Anatta Mirror, every day. As time went by, her appearance and the mirror light matched, reflecting her body, and all the illusions of her appearance couldn't be taken away. Using the devil head was like swallowing poison, it was the same as seeking death.
After suffering such a loss, the devilish lord seemed to have become extremely enraged. His body suddenly dispersed, transforming into several tens of devilish projections that attacked everyone present.
Elder Pu sneered and allowed the demon to enter his body. Not long after, a thunderous sound could be heard from within his body. With a snort, wisps of black smoke floated out of his ears. It was obvious that he had killed all the evil spirits.
The two female disciples from the Huanzhen Temple were not in a hurry. They made a gesture with their hands, opened their mouths and let out a sound of "Zha". With a boom, the devilish figure that was charging towards them turned into smoke and flew away.
Zhang Zhen only watched quietly and did not move. Before the devilish figures could reach her, they collided with a layer of light. They couldn't help but shiver as if they had met their natural enemy. They retreated in a panic, but before they could get far, their bodies melted like wax. After a few breaths, they disappeared.
She raised her hand and caught a wisp of Qi dynamic. She sensed it and said, "Elder Pu, I think you saw it too."
Elder Pu Daoren, "Yes, this devil isn't the real devil. It was born from the devil's fetus, but its cultivation is far from the real one."
Among the three poisons of the real devil, the poison from the devil's fetus was the hardest to get rid of. This poison was nourished by human desires and could give birth to a devil. The higher the cultivation of the person residing in it, the stronger the devil.
Zhang Zhen said, "Zhenren Zhou is not a disciple of Huanzhen Temple, so he can't tell the difference. What he saw just now might be this devil. The real devil might not be here."
Elder Pu thought for a while and said, "Junior Apprentice-Sister's words make sense. Unfortunately, we are in Yuxiao's territory and the talismans on this altar reject items from other sects. We can't just do whatever we want. If not, we could use the Glazed Heart Lamp to suppress it and it would have nowhere to hide."
Zhang Zhen shook her head and said, "Now is not the time to dwell on this. We need to find out where the real devil went."
Elder Pu's expression turned serious. After a while, he thought of a possibility. Could it be that the devil had entered the devil's cave?
As he thought about this, he couldn't help but say, "I wonder how this altar is. Is it really like what Zhenren Zhou said, that it can suppress the door of the devil's cave?"
Zhang Zhen said, "After all, we are outsiders. It is not appropriate for us to investigate. However, we need to give a reminder and let our friends from Yuxiao school check it out."
Elder Pu sneered and said, "I am just afraid that our friends from Yuxiao school will think that we are making a mountain out of a molehill and will not take it to heart."
Zhang Zhen said, "We just need to mind our own business. There is no need to care about others."
Elder Pu nodded in agreement and sent two disciples to invite Elder Wu and Zhou Ying back. He then told the two of them about his worries.
When the two of them heard that the true demon might not be trapped here, they were shocked. Elder Wu asked, "Elder Pu, are you sure?"
Elder Pu Daoren said, "The real devil is not like those devils that you have seen in the past. To force it to show itself, we have to use many methods. However, Zhenren Zhou Ying did not allow it. What can we do? To verify our guess, why don't we check if there are any loopholes on the altar? It will be more convenient. "
Elder Wu was silent for a moment and said, "I need to report to Zhenren Zhou immediately. However, I will have to rely on you two to take care of these people. "
Zhang San said, "The lives of these fellow Daoists can be preserved."
Elder Wu cupped his fists at the two of them and went up to Court Zhou, hurriedly reporting the matter.
Zhou Ting was deep in thought after hearing it.
He sat on the pivot, and all the movements of Zheng Yang Profound Altar were within his eyes and ears. Wherever there was an unforeseen event, he would immediately know. Therefore, he was sure that the demon had not escaped.
However, there were still many Yuxiao disciples here. The cultivators of the demonic sect were surrounding the altar. He could not let the devil run around in the altar. He had to think of a way to solve this once and for all. He raised his head and said, "Elder Wu, invite the two friends from Huanzhen Temple."
Elder Wu responded and left. After a while, Zhang Zhen and Elder Pu arrived at the top of the altar. Zhou Ting invited them to sit down and asked, "Zhenren Zhang, the reason why the devil is entangled here is to enter the demonic cave?"
Zhang Zhen nodded, "The devil was born from the demonic cave. Naturally, it wants to return to this place. Just like how fish like water and birds like trees, it is its nature."
Zhou Ting nodded and asked again, "If the devil is in front of you, do you two have the confidence to kill it?"
Elder Pu Daoren said, "Zhenren Zhou, don't worry. When we came out, we brought our sect's treasure, the Divine Mirror. As long as the devil is in front of us, it will not be hard to kill it."
Zhou Ting frowned. There were many instruments on the altar. If they were released, there would be conflicts. But if they were kept, they would not be able to defend against the enemy. It was a dilemma. He thought for a while and said, "What if we do not use this treasure?"
Elder Pu was startled. He did not dare to make the decision. He looked at Zhang Zhen. The latter thought for a while and said, "I only have 60% confidence."
Zhou Ting's eyes were sharp and he seemed to have made a decision. He said in a deep voice, "Then it is worth a try."
Wu Zhang Daoren asked, "Zhenren, what do you want to do?"
Zhou Ting looked at Zhang Zhen and Elder Pu and said slowly, "I want to open a door that leads to the demonic cave. This way, the devil will be lured out. My friends from Huanzhen Temple, please stay in the dark. Once it appears, please kill it."
Elder Wu was slightly taken aback. This plan could be said to cut through the Gordian knot. If it was successful, it could indeed solve the problem in one fell swoop. However, if the demon was not eliminated and was allowed to enter the demon's lair, the outcome of the battle between the Xuan Demons would be unpredictable.
Elder Pu felt some admiration for Zhou Ting in his heart. The consequences of this action were not small. If he was in Zhou Ting's position, even if he thought of this plan, he might not have the courage to do so.
Zhang Zhen thought for a while and said seriously, "I will try my best."
Zhou Ting stopped suppressing the altar and stood up. He said, "Alright. This matter is urgent and cannot be delayed any longer. Please follow me."
He raised his hand and slapped on the Forbidden Pivot Stone Stele. Everyone felt that the scenery in front of them changed and they entered a tunnel. The walls were filled with swirling sand and stones.
Zhou Ting said, "This is called the Eternal Sand Flying Star Path. There are hundreds of types of Stellar Sand that can wear down flying swords and treasures. Even if the demonic disciples break the altar, they will not be able to pass this place easily."
Elder Pu snorted and thought, Yu Xiao's arrangement is indeed tight. It is a pity that the devil can shapeshift, so it is useless against him.
Zhou Ting waved his sleeve again and the sand on the right retreated, opening up a door. He was the first to enter, and the others followed.
This place was an empty stone mansion. Outside the door, one could not see inside, but looking inside the door, one could see everything clearly.
Zhou Ting said, "Zhenren Zhang, what do you think of this place? Can it be used to ambush the devil? "
Zhang Zhen looked around and said, "I still need to make some preparations."
Zhou Ting said, "As long as it is not an offensive mystic instrument, it will be fine. If it causes the sand to roll back, even I will not be able to suppress it."
Elder Pu smiled, "I will not make things difficult for you."
Although he said that, he was still afraid of the sand path. He only dared to take out some ordinary magical items and place them in front of the door. Then he silently recited a spell, and three magical talismans flew out and landed in front of him. He then took out a golden thread, and with a flick of his hand, it floated up into the air and transformed into thousands of threads, covering the entire path in front of him.
After everything was set up, Zhang Zhen looked around and saw that there was nothing wrong with it. She said, "Zhenren Zhou, can you open the door now?"
Zhou Ting nodded and looked at the sand path.
What he did today was a huge risk for him. If he failed, not only would he cut off his path of advancement, he might even be punished by the clan. He might even be ordered to be reincarnated. But since the situation had come to this, he had to make a decision as soon as possible. He could not afford to hesitate any longer.
He took out a talisman and waved his hand. The Eternal Sand Path was instantly connected to the inside and outside.
Although the door was open, there was no movement outside for a long time. The people here were all very patient, they all sat upright without moving.
After an unknown period of time, as if a gust of cold wind had blown past, the golden thread in the passageway actually trembled slightly.
Elder Pu's body leaned forward and looked outside. He thought, "It's here!"
