Chapter 294 Intertwined II
“Many people find me annoying, just like that Duke of Purgatory, but the more annoyed you are, the happier I am,” Xie Chang’an laughed.
Swish!
The next instant, without any warning, the two disappeared from their spot simultaneously, entering a state of superhuman speed.
Everything around heaven and earth began to rapidly turn red.
Within the red, however, a brilliant green light, like the sun hanging in mid-air, forcibly seized a central area, turning that area green.
At this moment, Song Feishi and the other Mingxin Society experts were also fighting with the rest of the Black Cloud City people.
"I knew you had no good intentions coming all this way!" Gongsun Xinlian couldn't contain her anger as she looked at Song Feishi.
The two women collided with each other in the blink of an eye, like two shooting stars.
With their incredible speed, both of them attacked at terrifying speed. Almost instantly, Gongsun Xinlian was at a disadvantage, but with Zhang Yao's assistance, they managed to fight to a standstill for a time.
In other words, Zhang Yao's previous injuries have not yet healed, so he cannot exert his full strength at this time. He can only use evil energy to help his third sister increase her combat power.
Under the fierce battle between the True Evil Mist and the Emperor Blood Mist Man, the others dared not step forward. They scattered and used the green silk threads to continuously integrate their own power into the great formation, restricting the guild leader and Song Feishi and others.
However, this restriction was partially offset by the eerie red light released by the leader.
The two sides reached a stalemate for a short period of time.
But this stalemate did not last long, only half a minute later.
boom!!!
High in the sky, the green sun that Xie Chang'an had transformed into was smashed to pieces. He was sent flying backward like a cannonball, coughing up blood.
"The world has lost its color."
The guild leader instantly appeared beside him, his right hand completely stained dark red.
The next moment, a small fleshy sprout inexplicably appeared in his hand.
The bud grew rapidly, enlarged, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a still-beating, blood-red heart.
"goodbye."
At this moment, Xie Chang'an looked down at his chest and, sure enough, there was only a bloody hole left; his heart had long since disappeared.
"Interesting!" he laughed. "If my original body were here, we'd still have a fighting chance!"
"That's why I'm annoyed." The leader put his hand away and glanced at Song Feishi in the distance.
Swish.
The two disappeared from the spot at the same time, leaving at lightning speed.

Inside Qingfeng Taoist Temple.
Xin Shuai was sitting alone in the small courtyard where he was under house arrest, meditating with his eyes closed.
Suddenly she looked up at the sky and then quickly got up.
"go!"
The leader's voice exploded in her mind instantly.
"Yes!"
Without hesitation, Xin Shuai leaped into the air, his figure blurring as he chased after the sky.
But at that moment, inside the Taoist temple below.
A wisp of consciousness suddenly rose into the air, catching up with Xin Shuai's figure.
"Since you're here, why not come in and have a chat?"
Swish.
A figure flickered and appeared high in the sky; it was none other than Lin Hui, dressed in white robes and carrying a sword.
The air currents surged, whipping his long black hair to the left, leaving a long, dark blue-black shadow, like a dancing flame.
Xin Shuai felt a chill run down her spine and wanted to stop instantly, but a tremendous force grabbed her from the side.
"Youngster, do you think you can stop me?" The leader's voice echoed through the surrounding space.
"Lin Hui, the Daoist Master of Qingfeng Dao." Lin Hui gently placed his hand on the hilt of the Ruyi Sword.
Please advise.
Clang!
In an instant, red shadows and blue lights flashed intertwined.
Lin Hui turned around, but Xin Shuai was no longer there. He didn't mind, smiled, and flew back down.
"Daoist!"
Yunxiazi and the others below all looked in this direction.
"It's alright, let's continue the explanation." Lin Hui regained his composure.
Ugh!!
High in the sky, far from Black Cloud City.
The leader, Song Feishi, and Xin Shuai sped away into the distance.
In the distance, a massive warship made of white crystal rose from the seabed, sounding its horn as it came to greet them.
"Master... just now!?" Song Feishi couldn't help but look ahead, wanting to know what had just happened.
"The other party backed down when faced with difficulties. Can't you even see that?" Xin Shuai laughed relaxedly from the side.
"Do you really think he gave up because he found it difficult?" The leader suddenly looked at her, his expression revealing a strange meaning.
"Your subordinate..." Xin Shuai was taken aback, unsure of his leader's meaning. *Pfft!*
next moment.
A huge, bloody gash suddenly appeared on her body, running from her shoulder to her waist.
Countless spurts of blood erupted like fountains, turning into a blood mist that surged and danced in mid-air, attempting to fly back to the wound.
Strangely, all the blood mist was forcibly dissipated by a bizarre decomposition force as soon as it approached the wound.
Xin Shuai opened his eyes wide, feeling the intense pain coming from his body, and tried to reach out to cover his wound in disbelief.
But the wound was so horrific that it almost split her in two.
"Is this power a parting gift to me?" The leader turned to look in the direction of Black Cloud City.
“Master Qingfeng, I’ve got it.”
He waved his hand lightly, and a viscous, bluish-black liquid with the scent of seawater surged out from behind him, completely enveloping Xin Shuai and transforming into a large black bag, which then flew towards the warship below.
Song Feishi followed closely behind and also looked back at the location of Black Cloud City.
Her biggest loss this time is that her past mistakes have been exposed, and she may now face criticism from parliament.
After the three returned to the warship, it sank rapidly with a loud horn blast and sped away into the distance.
More than ten minutes after the warship left, a green light flew rapidly from above the black clouds and crashed heavily into the first floating mountain of Black Cloud City.
Xie Chang'an is back.

Two days later.
The first floating mountain.
"Hahaha! This time, we really owe you a debt of gratitude, little brother, for stopping a ruthless man. Otherwise, my second brother and third sister might have really fallen victim to his trap."
The city lord Xie Chang'an sat cross-legged in the main seat, a smile on his face, holding a roasted beef leg in one hand, and constantly inviting Lin Hui, who was sitting below, to join him as he ate.
Zhang Yao and Gongsun Xinlian stood to the side looking helpless, both of them carrying a trace of mixed aura, clearly indicating that their previous injuries had not fully healed.
“You felt it too, didn’t you? At our level, ordinary injuries can heal instantly. The key is the pollution and erosion from the alien power, which takes time to eliminate,” Gongsun Xinlian explained helplessly. “The power of the Mingxin Society is very troublesome. It seems to be somewhat similar to the power of the Deep Sea Mist Gods, but its polluting power is even stronger than that of the Mist Gods.”
“That’s the power of the Sea Roar,” Xie Chang’an said. “The Sea Roar is one of the polluting powers discovered in the deep sea, which is similar to the extreme cold of purgatory. Its characteristic is that it is extremely difficult to eradicate.”
"Just how many kinds of polluting forces are there in this world?!" Zhang Yao said with a wry smile.
"Who knows? Why worry so much? As long as we can get rid of it ourselves, that's fine," Xie Chang'an said nonchalantly.
"Yes, Second Brother, you should hurry up and recover your evil energy. Without your help, it's too slow to get rid of this power," Gongsun Xinlian said helplessly.
"I did my best." Zhang Yao had used up most of his evil energy in the battle to detoxify the guild leader. Regardless, he had succeeded in depriving the guild leader of a crucial element of his power.
However, because of this, his evil energy was over-consumed and will not be able to recover to its full strength for at least the next thousand years.
He had no choice but to explain the matter carefully.
"So, when the Mingxin Sect Master fought against my elder brother's substitute, it was already at the level of strength after you had sealed off part of his power?" Gongsun Xinlian's body trembled upon hearing this.
"Yes," Zhang Yao nodded with a wry smile.
He picked up his drink, tilted his head back and gulped down a glass, then refilled it and raised it to Lin Hui across from him.
"Brother Lin, I misjudged you this time and made a series of mistakes. I wrongly blamed you. If it weren't for your intervention, the city would have suffered considerable losses. I'm sorry!"
He downed the drink in one gulp and slammed the glass down on the table.
"Second City Lord, you flatter me." Lin Hui raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp. "As a member of Black Cloud, this is what I should do."
"Stop with the formalities, Second Brother! Let's get down to business," Xie Chang'an said, waving his hand.
“Alright!” Zhang Yao nodded and looked at Lin Hui. “I’ve heard that Brother Lin has been troubled by drug resistance caused by taking too much medicine. I’m not very good at this, but my evil energy is extremely effective for this kind of situation. If Brother Lin trusts me, I can help you eliminate all drug resistance in one fell swoop!”
"Good! This is exactly what I need! Thank you, Second City Lord!" Lin Hui's eyes lit up, and he clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Just call me by my name," Zhang Yao said, waving his hand. "Brother Lin, you're too kind."
"Then thank you very much, Brother Zhang!" Lin Hui said with a smile.
"Good, good, that's right. We're all in this together. This experience has shown our true colors, and we'll be even more united in the future, working together to build Black Cloud into the most prosperous city in the Federation!" Xie Chang'an said with a smile.
He immediately raised his glass to toast everyone.
The three of them retaliated in kind.
After the drinks, everyone chatted for a while about various intelligence related to the Mingxin Society, as well as the betrayal of the Fourth Princess, all of which left them wondering about the Mingxin Society's specific purpose.
As she was talking, Gongsun Xinlian suddenly looked at Lin Hui.
"Over the past few years, Pang Jiu's condition has been getting better and better. Brother Lin, perhaps it's time for us to talk about your Qingfeng Dao Seal."
Dharma Seal
Lin Hui's heart stirred, and he glanced around, noticing that Zhang Yao and Xie Chang'an were both looking at him. Clearly, although it hadn't been mentioned before, the two had been paying close attention to the situation of the Dharma Seal.
"The conditions for activating the Dharma Seal remain the same. Only by joining my Qingfeng Dao Sect can one receive the seal. This is not a rule I set, but an ancestral rule established by the founder of the Jiuxiao Sect, which I inherited. It cannot be changed," he explained solemnly.
"Have you ever tried to bestow the seal upon those who do not join?" Xie Chang'an asked.
"I've tried them, but none of them worked," Lin Hui shook his head.
"I have a very clear understanding of the rules of the Qingfeng Sect. The gains and losses after receiving the seal are also very simple," Gongsun Xinlian said in a deep voice. This great battle made her realize that as decay accelerates, the future situation may become more and more chaotic and dangerous. If the three siblings stay together, it will be fine. Their evil energy complements each other, and the power they unleash is extremely terrifying.
But it's impossible for them to be together every moment.
so.
"I've decided to join the Qingfeng Sect!" Gongsun Xinlian said earnestly. "But I don't plan to learn martial arts again; I'll only learn hand seals."
