"Stop leaving!" Leader Cui shouted, and dark lights emerged from the demonic fire, flying towards them.
Hu Erniang snorted coldly, pinched her fingers, and the red line came as fast as lightning.
Since she turned to ghost cultivation, Hu Erniang's skills have also changed. The red thread is like a ghost, silent and extremely fast.
What's even more rare is that Yin Qi is completely unaffected by demonic Qi.
These dark lights of Master Cui are the essence of the devil fire that he has worked hard to practice. He thought that if he bumped into them, he would definitely punch a hole, but he didn't expect that the red thread formed a network and blocked it.
"You..." His expression changed slightly, and then he looked carefully and recognized her identity, "Hu Erniang? You are not dead! No, you have turned into a ghost cultivator!"
Hu Erniang raised her lips and said, "Yes! You didn't expect that, did you?"
Before he finished speaking, demonic energy swirled around his body. Bai Mengjin activated the yin-yang umbrella and swept away the surrounding demonic energy. Without the help of the demonic energy and the pressure of the red thread, Master Cui's demonic fire essence was on the verge of collapse.
Leader Cui was aroused, and when he clasped his palms together, blazing demonic flames erupted from his body, surrounding the whole person. A huge demonic fire essence gradually condensed into shape, and it can be imagined that it must be astonishingly powerful.
Just as he was casting it, Hu Erniang, Bai Mengjin, and Ling Bufei in front of him suddenly dodged and jumped away.
The three of them, one is a ghost cultivator and the other is a sword cultivator, their movement skills are extremely fast. Bai Mengjin has the help of a yin and yang umbrella, and they are as light as nothing. In less than a blink of an eye, the three of them flew aside.
But Master Cui had just taken action with this demonic fire essence, and couldn't hold back his strength. He could only watch it hit the restriction of the Enlightenment Tower.
"Boom!" The forbidden spiritual light trembled, and a crack appeared.
Seeing the opportunity, Hu Erniang rolled up the red thread and took Bai Mengjin and Ling Bufei: "Let's go!"
She squeezed through the gap and escaped into the restriction.
Leader Cui wanted to stop him, but by the time he stopped, it was already too late.
Bai Mengjin and Ling Bufei, who entered the tower, took out their magic talismans and quickly added them layer by layer to the gaps to reconnect the restrictions.
If Master Cui wants to open the restriction now, he is passive and can only give up.
"Daoxuan." Lu Jingdan's voice came.
"Uncle Master."
"They went in?"
"Yes." Head Cui apologized, "My nephew was careless and failed to consume their mana."
"That's all." Lu Jingdan said calmly, "Just let them go in. Your biggest task is completed. Come over and help me!"
Leader Cui lowered his head: "Yes..."
He reached into his arms, took out a token, and waved it repeatedly. Rays of light flew out and landed on the Tower of Enlightenment, making the restriction even tighter.
After doing all this, Master Cui snorted coldly, turned his head and disappeared into the night.
------------------
Inside the Enlightenment Tower, Ling Bufei let out a long breath.
"so close!"
In terms of strength alone, Hu Erniang and the two of them actually have the advantage, but if Lu Jingdan arrives and the two of them join forces, it will be hard to say.
"Hey, Bai Yatou, why do you feel a little weird?" Hu Erniang looked at Master Cui outside through the crack in the door, "He seems to be imposing restrictions. Is he afraid that we will run out?"
Bai Mengjin looked over and took a look, frowning.
Indeed, Leader Cui's reaction was wrong, his expression before leaving...
The three people exchanged glances and looked up at the tall tower in unison.
"Go and have a look?" Ling Bufei suggested.
Bai Mengjin nodded.
So Ling Bufei held the sword in his hand and stepped onto the stairs first.
The stairs of the Enlightenment Tower must not have been stepped on for many years. As soon as you step on them, there is a slight dust and creaking sound.
The three of them walked up slowly, second floor, third floor...
When we were about to reach the top floor, a sharp wind suddenly rose, and a slight sound rang in our ears.
Ling Bufei jumped up and took action with sword light.
"Tsk--" Harsh crackling sounds and dull crashing sounds sounded one after another.
When the surroundings calmed down, Ling Bufei took a closer look and saw many wooden limbs scattered around the stairs.
It's a puppet.
When Bai Mengjin and Hu Erniang came up, they saw a messy attic.
The puppet parts chopped off by Ling Bufei were scattered all over the ground. The puppet array originally set up here was ruined. The mackerel lamp that had lasted for thousands of years was lit on the stone wall, and its faint light illuminated this dusty space.
Something's wrong, where is Master Wu Nian? There are monks who transform themselves into retreats here, so why is there so much dust? It seems like no one has set foot here for decades.
A faint sigh sounded, and a weak voice said: "You shouldn't have come..."
"Who?" The three of them were shocked.
In the end, Bai Mengjin had the best eyesight and found a living person among the scattered puppet limbs.
This was a skinny old man, his clothes were dusty and covered with dust, and his body was as thin as a skeleton. He was mixed in among the puppets and could not be distinguished for a while.
Hu Erniang was shocked and called out: "Master Wu Nian?"
She was older and had seen Wu Nian in his youth. She recalled that he was an outstanding person with excellent demeanor. Why did he become like this now?
Master Wu Nian glanced at her, slightly surprised: "You are Hu..."
"Er Niang." Hu Er Niang added, "I was fortunate enough to attend the same Dharma conference with a real person and asked you for advice."
"Oh..." Master Wu Nian seemed to have remembered, but also seemed not to have remembered.
Bai Mengjin felt something was wrong. What happened to Master Wu Nian in his previous life? He never left the Xuanyan Sect and probably passed away without a trace.
So what happened? He looked like he didn't have much cultivation left. Fortunately, he wasn't demonized.
"Senior, where is your cultivation level?" Ling Bufei asked on her behalf.
Master Wu Nian turned his head, looked at his face for a while, and said, "You are not Ling Yunzhou's son, are you? You look very much like him."
Ling Bufei nodded and just said: "I..."
"Hey, your critical pulse is healed?" Master Wu Nian looked strange. Ling Bufei was still young when he was in seclusion.
"Yes, he was cured."
Master Wu Nian followed his gaze and looked at Bai Mengjin. He frowned for a while and then relaxed: "You are a demon cultivator, but you have a clean spirit body. Do you think you have a special physique?"
Bai Mengjin replied: "Senior has good eyesight."
"This is my fiancée. Her surname is Bai and her name is Mengjin. Her body is made of jade, so she is not corroded by evil spirits." Ling Bufei said proactively.
Although I don't know the inside story, based on Wu Nian's knowledge, it is not difficult to deduce the relationship between the two.
He said happily: "I have been favored by the old master Jiang, and I am very happy for him to see that his descendants are well."
Hearing him mention his grandfather, Ling Bufei's eyes softened a lot, but now was not the time for conversation. He asked: "Senior, what is going on? Is your cultivation gone? Head Cui said that you are studying the secret technique.
, why does it look like..."
"It seems like I'm imprisoned?" Master Wu Nian picked up the second half of the sentence and replied with a smile, "You're right, I am indeed imprisoned."
