Justice and evil coexist
Chapter 40 Justice and evil coexist
"You...you once fought against demons?"
The night was filled with shock.
If he remembers correctly, the only recent incident involving a confrontation with demons was...
It was Lin Chaowang's, right?
"It's just a painful memory." Ye chuckled self-deprecatingly, then steered the conversation back to the previous point: "Getting back to the main topic, are you really willing to give everything to save Madam?"
The man nodded repeatedly: "Of course!"
His only concern in this world was his wife, and he was willing to give up everything for her!
"Then... relax and let me enter your body."
"I will use your physical body to lift the stone pillar."
"After it's done, you need to take my soul to the Eternal Forest and obtain the crystal lotus that can reshape my physical body."
The man nodded emphatically.
Then, he would relax completely, spreading his arms to let the soul of the night enter him.
"Swish swish swish—"
As the whistling wind blew, the soul of the night began to merge into the man's body.
The man opened his eyes; they were an eerie black.
A slight smile played on his lips.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face: "It feels so good to have a physical body..."
then.
Ye clenched his fists, and eerie black energy surged from his body, covering his palms.
The massive, thick stone pillar was easily lifted by the night.
"BOOM—!!!"
The stone pillar was thrown aside by the night, and the woman's heavily injured body floated out against the backdrop of black mist.
"Your request has been granted."
"..."
The man's consciousness did not respond to Ye's words.
because……
The man, who could clearly see this scene with his naked eye, began to doubt what Ye had said earlier.
He described himself as a mage who fights against demons.
Is this really correct?
The man was suspicious, because that group of people should have symbolized justice, but the night here was the same as the one that destroyed the village... black!
But before the man could think further...
He felt a heaviness between his hands, a sensation that jolted him back to his senses.
"lady!"
"lady!"
Looking at the face so close to his, the man suppressed all his thoughts and hugged the woman, shouting loudly.
But strangely enough…
No matter how much the man called out, he never received a response from the woman.
"Master, oh no, I mean, what's going on here?"
The man no longer cared about Ye's status.
He hurriedly asked.
Ye Jia sighed helplessly and said with great regret, "The dark energy of the Sweeping Forest has tainted your wife, and she is troubled by it, which is why she has been unable to wake up for so long."
"I had hoped to wake your wife the moment we rescued her, but unfortunately, I failed..."
"Master, why is this happening?" the man asked anxiously.
Night explained, "Because I am now only a soul, and with only a soul, I cannot dispel this eerie black aura."
"But...but aren't you the mage of the Lin Dynasty who fights against demons? How could you not be able to do it!"
Men don't believe it.
Having finally rescued his wife from the rubble, how could he be willing to give up now?
"Why……"
Ye sighed again, "Let me tell you something, the person who wields the black energy is a demon lord who is on par with the Holy Lord."
"If I can't defeat the Holy Lord, how can I possibly defeat the Lord of the Mountain?"
At this point, Night suddenly changed the subject: "Fortunately, this is just the aftermath of the Mountain Lord's black aura."
"Is there a way?"
"Yes!" Ye nodded gently: "If we can find a crystal lotus to reshape your physical body, I can use purification magic to expel the black energy from your wife's body!"
They've been lying low for so many years.
Having finally seen a glimmer of hope for physical liberation, how could Ye possibly reveal all her cards at the very beginning?
The wife that every man longs for—
These are the chips and hole cards used for betting at night!
"Please, Venerable Master, show me the way!"
really,
Everything unfolded exactly as Ye had predicted; the man, desperate to save his wife, had no time to think about anything else!
This is the kind of scene that Ye most wants to see.
He was secretly delighted.
Then, she guided the man to the barrier at the heart of the forest.
"Do you see that patch of pristine land that hasn't been burned down yet?"
"That is the Eternal Forest."
"Legend has it that a lotus flower capable of healing everything grows within the Eternal Forest, called the Crystal Lotus. Only by obtaining it can my physical body be restored!"
"When your body is restored, your wife will also be saved."
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
The man looked in the direction the night was pointing.
He indeed saw a pristine land on the horizon that had not yet been swallowed by the black mist.
There,
This must be the Eternal Forest that Ye mentioned...
"I see."
The man nodded heavily, hoisted his wife onto his back, and headed towards the Eternal Forest...
……
……
Qionglou
Lope, who was in seclusion there for cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Lope, what's wrong?"
Seeing Lope's reaction, her fellow disciple asked curiously.
Lopez frowned and murmured, "I have a very strange feeling..."
"A very strange feeling?"
"Yes." Lopez turned her gaze to the direction of the surging black energy, frowning as she said, "I feel uneasy, like something bad is about to happen."
That's all.
Lope closed his eyes and continued his practice.
He is very clear.
I am currently unable to interfere with the dark energy, so instead of overthinking it, I should focus on cultivating myself.
When the time is right, and there is power to influence Yin and Yang...
They emerged from the magnificent palace once more to dispel the darkness!
He had a strong premonition that his time to emerge from seclusion was not far off...
.........
..........
After traveling for some time, the man finally arrived at the Eternal Forest that Ye had mentioned.
Unlike other areas of the forest that were swallowed by black mist, this place was indeed full of life!
It seems that some mysterious force is covering this area, protecting it from the influence of the black mist...
"Master, is this the Eternal Forest you spoke of?"
Night suppressed her excitement and said to the man in a deep voice, "Cast aside all the distractions in your heart, calm down, and walk into this forest."
"Um."
The man nodded slightly, and then stepped into the barrier.
however,
Just as the man's figure was about to touch the barrier, a bad premonition suddenly arose in Ye's heart.
"etc!"
This unusual feeling made Ye very uncomfortable, and he quickly called for the man to stop.
"Master, what's wrong?"
As the man stopped, that feeling vanished from Ye's heart...
strangeness.
Ye couldn't understand why this was, and after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't find the reason.
"A mage, a mage?"
Just then, the man's shouts came again, pulling Ye back to reality.
"It's nothing, let's keep going."
