The crowd, during this time, began to reinforce the seal of the Heavenly Scar.
Before Lin Qing left, he had already injected a lot of energy into the Spirit Pearl, so there was no need to worry about one less person.
"Crackling!"
On the other side, Lin Qing, alone, wielded his sword, slicing the shadowy figures into pieces, forcing them to retreat in disarray.
Feeling that he still wasn't satisfied, he brandished his sword and, with renewed vigor, pursued the retreating shadows. kuAiδugg
His posture was not just to force the shadowy figures back, but to annihilate them completely, leaving no room for future trouble.
Many demons hidden in the darkness, seeing the one-sided battle overhead, showed expressions of shock on their faces, unable to recover for a long time.
In their hearts, they couldn't understand what was happening.
They couldn't believe that their demon king, whom they had always respected, was like a weakling in Lin Qing's hands, completely unable to resist, let alone fight back.
After a brief moment of hesitation, the demons who had originally followed the demon king in destroying the seal turned and fled for their lives.
This was because they realized that Lin Qing was not only dealing with the demon king's clone but would also act without hesitation against small fry like them.
The sword Lin Qing had casually unleashed earlier had already taken the lives of many of their brethren.
What's more, it made them understand that Lin Qing was an insurmountable existence. To encounter him meant only a fatal end.
Seeing that victory was within reach, none of them wanted to die such a miserable death, so they could only turn and flee.
With Lin Qing driving back the demon race with his own strength,
Su Xi and the others found it much easier to repair the seal of the Heavenly Scar.
The cracks in the seal began to gradually heal.
"Done," Daoist Master Meng Xu exclaimed excitedly as he watched the last trace of light flash on the seal, "Lin Qing, hurry back."
Once the Heavenly Scar was completely sealed, not only would the demon race be unable to return, but no one would be able to. Therefore, if Lin Qing didn't want to be trapped in the demon realm forever, he had to come back.
However, Lin Qing seemed to be carried away by the moment, ignoring the shouts from behind.
"What do we do?" Su Xi asked Daoist Master Meng Xu, her face full of anxiety.
Without the resources of the human race, Lin Qing had to fight alone. With so many demons, even if Lin Qing's magical power was immense, he couldn't withstand their endless assault. Once Lin Qing was exhausted, he would have no chance of survival.
Daoist Master Meng Xu looked at Lin Qing's retreating back, channeling his magical power, and shouted, "Come back!"
This was not a mere shout but a call that could directly stimulate the depths of the soul, reaching directly into it.
As Daoist Master Meng Xu's voice echoed, Lin Qing's movements paused, and he turned his head.
However, he showed no signs of moving. Instead, a thoughtful smile played on his lips.
It seemed like sorrow, yet it also seemed like it was meant to be.
Seeing the smile on Lin Qing's face, Su Xi suddenly had a bad premonition and asked loudly, "What exactly do you want?"
Such a somber smile looked very strange.
"You all go, I can't go back anymore," Lin Qing muttered softly, looking at the people outside the seal.
But his voice was so low that no one heard him.
He had just burned all his vital blood, forcibly pushing his cultivation to that legendary realm. Although he had repelled the demon king, he was at the end of his strength.
Now, for him, where he was no longer important, it was only a matter of where he would find his final rest.
Moreover, if he were to live, many people would not be able to sleep peacefully.
"No, hurry back," Su Xi guessed what Lin Qing intended to do, her voice filled with urgency.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lin Qing's body begin to glow with white light, and those specks of white light gradually dissipated. In just a moment, a considerable part of his body had vanished.
She still had treasures like the Silver Soul Wood in her hand. As long as she could capture a wisp of Lin Qing's soul, she could revive him.
Why would Lin Qing give up his chance to live?
At his level of cultivation, it would not be too difficult to recover his strength.
Lin Qing heard Su Xi's words and smiled, "It's too late."
Fortunately, he had already finished his task, otherwise, he would have been truly angered to death.
"Crack!"
A sound like breaking glass echoed, and Lin Qing's body turned into a pile of light, completely disappearing into thin air.
Seeing this scene, everyone was plunged into a state of prolonged silence.
The sudden turn of events was too rapid; they couldn't accept it.
As Lin Qing's figure vanished, the demons who had been repelled earlier returned with renewed force.
"Bang bang bang!"
Their bodies pounded frantically against the seal of the Heavenly Scar, trying to break out.
But they despaired to find that there was no reaction at all.
The seal was as hard as steel; no matter what they did, there was no movement.
Seeing that they could not break through the seal, many demons began to cry out in despair, their voices filled with extreme sadness, as if their mothers had died.
They had waited for so long and exerted so much effort, only to achieve nothing in the end.
Su Xi's brow furrowed as she heard the demons' wails.
These demons seemed too peculiar.
Even if they couldn't leave the demon realm, these people had lived there for so long; there was no need for such a strong reaction.
But why were they so distressed and sorrowful?
If they were acting, it wouldn't be like this.
After all, acting brought them no rewards and was a complete waste of time. Even if the author was padding the word count, it seemed unnecessary to focus on this point.
"Let's go," Daoist Master Meng Xu said to everyone in a deep voice, seeing that the demons couldn't break through.
However, he seemed to be in a bad mood due to the death of his friend, his eyes unreadable.
Since the matter here was resolved, they still had to find someone to settle the score with.
After all, if it weren't for the sneak attack by True Person Jiamu of the Falling One Sect, they wouldn't have ended up like this, and Lin Qing wouldn't have died tragically.
Therefore, True Person Jiamu had to give them an explanation.
The five major sects were united, and their cultivation methods were also interconnected.
Thus, even though True Person Jiamu had joined the demon race, they could still sense his general direction. A group of people then sped towards True Person Jiamu's location.
Along the way, they dealt with any demons they encountered.
After all, to them, the demons remaining in the human world were all minor characters who posed no threat. Killing them was simply killing them.
Soon, they found True Person Jiamu.
They arrived in a dark environment. True Person Jiamu was sitting quietly on a resplendent dragon throne, clad in luxurious robes. Not far in front of him stood a cauldron, and thin smoke was slowly rising from it, emitting a medicinal fragrance that bathed the surroundings in a reddish glow.
"Jiamu, you owe me an explanation for this matter," Jiang Feng said to Jiamu, his voice full of fury.
The previous experience had been too humiliating, and he would never forget it.
If he didn't seek revenge, his future cultivation would be affected. Therefore, he couldn't let his Dao heart be compromised, and True Person Jiamu had to die.
True Person Jiamu heard Jiang Feng's words, slowly opened his eyes, and said calmly, "This matter is simple. The explanation you want, I can give you."
"???"
None of them expected True Person Jiamu to say something like that, and they were all shocked.
They wondered if he had gone mad from excitement to utter such nonsense.
Facing so many people alone, where did he get his confidence?
Did he truly intend to wait for death obediently, or was there another hidden reason?
Su Xi sensed that something was amiss and immediately opened her supercomputer to check the surrounding activity.
However, before she could act, she suddenly noticed True Person Jiamu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, stand up and slowly walk towards them.
"One, two, three..."
True Person Jiamu counted the number of people in front of him, a smile on his face.
This was simply too exhilarating.
So many people perfectly met his requirements.
As long as this many people were refined into divine pills, he could reach the legendary realm.
"Do you want to jump into the cauldron yourselves, or shall I escort you in?" True Person Jiamu said to them, uttering words that shocked everyone.
Hearing True Person Jiamu's words, the crowd was instantly petrified.
Had True Person Jiamu gone insane to utter such stupid, idiotic words?
His cultivation was comparable to that of any one of them present, but now, facing so many people, did he still have any chance of victory?
Where did he learn such arrogant confidence?
Even an idiot wouldn't be this foolish.
Daoist Master Meng Xu was also curious about where True Person Jiamu got his confidence from, but he didn't act rashly. Instead, he chose to ask for clarification first, "What are you doing?"
True Person Jiamu heard Daoist Master Meng Xu's question, touched the cauldron in front of him, and said with a drawn-out, somewhat disgusted tone, "What I want to do now is refine all of you into pills."
These people were truly stupid, couldn't they see this?
Su Xi frowned at True Person Jiamu's behavior.
Touching the still-smoking cauldron, didn't it feel hot?
Even if the villain was going to do something shocking, it shouldn't be this suicidal.
If he got burned, there would be no Yunnan Baiyao to use.
However, Su Xi also knew that this was not the place for her to speak and decisively chose to remain silent.
If the sky were to fall, the taller ones could hold it up; she just needed to find a cool place to relax.
Daoist Master Meng Xu heard True Person Jiamu's words but did not get angry or mock him. Instead, he calmly retorted, "With just you alone, you want to deal with so many of us?"
They had all recovered their cultivation by now. True Person Jiamu alone was no match for them. If a fight were to break out, True Person Jiamu would die a miserable death.
True Person Jiamu smiled and said, "If it were before, I truly wouldn't have been able to. After all, each of you old fellows has higher cultivation than me. But now, that's not necessarily the case."
"Who told you to walk into my territory foolishly? Since you're here, don't think about leaving."
After speaking, True Person Jiamu extended his hands forward.
As his hands moved, a series of light patterns appeared on the ground.
With the appearance of these light patterns, the group felt their bodies grow heavy, and at the same time, countless dense shackles appeared on them, entangling Daoist Master Meng Xu and the others.
As the shackles wrapped around them, Daoist Master Meng Xu and the others felt their magical powers being absorbed, and a searing pain constantly stimulated their nerves.
"Ah~"
The pain in his body made Jiang Feng cry out.
Seeing the people trapped by the God-Suppressing Formation, True Person Jiamu stroked his beard and chuckled, "Now you all know why I..."
Before he could finish speaking, he looked at Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge and asked in surprise, "Why, why are you two unharmed?"
