Chapter 882: Heavenly Dragon Purifying Eye

Long Tooth Mountain, Main Peak.

When Li Luo arrived the next day before a quiet, classical courtyard on the main peak, he found Li Li Rouyun, Li Li Lingjing, and Li Feng already waiting there.

"Li Luo."

When Li Li Rouyun saw Li Luo arrive, she immediately walked over quickly; from her cheeks, Li Luo saw worry and panic that she could not conceal.

Clearly, Li Li Rouyun already knew about the Erosion Spirit True Demon within Li Li Lingjing's body.

"Auntie Yun, there is no need to worry too much. Let the Old Master take a look first; he is a King-level powerhouse with methods reaching the heavens, and he might not be unable to drive the Erosion Spirit True Demon out of Cousin Li Lingjing," Li Luo comforted.

Li Li Rouyun said bitterly, "I already tried yesterday, but it had not even the slightest effect; I did not even find a trace of that Erosion Spirit True Demon."

Li Luo's eyebrows furrowed slightly; Li Li Rouyun possessed the strength of a Sixth Rank Marquis, far stronger than Li Feng, yet even her attempt failed? It seemed the difficulty of this Erosion Spirit True Demon was even higher than he had imagined.

At the same time, he increasingly felt that this "Erosion Spirit True Demon" seemed not simple; after all, in terms of power level, it was merely a Third Rank True Demon, so how could it be that even a Sixth Rank Marquis like Li Li Rouyun could not erase it?

Truly strange.

Li Li Rouyun looked at Li Luo and said in a mournful voice, "This Erosion Spirit True Demon is extremely strange; since Li Lingjing is entangled with it, if it cannot be purified, I fear someone within the Pulse will propose erasing her as well."

Li Li Rouyun also understood that for the alien, the entire human race is extremely vigilant and hostile; all factions regard it as a great calamity, and since Li Li Lingjing is now entangled with the Erosion Spirit True Demon, this is indeed a hidden danger; from the perspective of absolute safety, if the alien cannot be purified, then erasing both directly would be the most decisive and safe approach.

But... Li Li Rouyun found this very hard to accept; she regarded Li Li Lingjing as her own child, and now that the latter had finally broken free from that muddled state, if she were erased, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to her.

Li Luo said slowly, "As long as Cousin Li Lingjing herself still has consciousness and can control her own body, I feel it should not come to the step of being erased."

"I promised Cousin Li Lingjing that I would do my best to preserve her, so naturally I will not break my word."

"However, all of this is predicated on Cousin Li Lingjing maintaining her own consciousness; if truly one day she cannot suppress the Erosion Spirit True Demon, is controlled by it, and becomes a source of pollution... then, Auntie Yun, you too must make a choice at that time."

Li Luo spoke the last sentence rather cruelly, but there was no other way, because this possibility exists, and if it truly came to this step, perhaps Li Li Lingjing would already have been swallowed by the Erosion Spirit True Demon, and she would no longer be herself.

Li Li Rouyun wiped the corner of her eye and said softly, "I know."

If it truly reached that step, even if her heart was shattered, she could no longer protect Li Li Lingjing; it was just that before reaching this step, she still wanted to do her utmost to help Li Li Lingjing.

Li Luo nodded, sighed inwardly, and then said, "Let us go; we will enter first to see the Old Master."

Afterwards, he pushed open the courtyard gate first and stepped inside; Li Li Rouyun, Li Feng, and Li Li Lingjing exchanged glances, a trace of tension appearing in their eyes.

After all, for them, Li Li Jingzhe was the sky of the Long Tooth Pulse; he had held the Long Tooth Pulse for so many years, his majesty was profound, and even Li Li Rouyun, when meeting him, constantly felt heavy pressure, acting timidly and obediently, daring not to have any dissent.

And if Li Li Rouyun was like this, Li Feng was even more incapable; although he was the City Lord of Xi Ling City, he usually did not even have the qualification to meet Li Li Jingzhe.

The three followed Li Luo into the courtyard, walked along the tree-lined path for a while, and then saw a clear, mirror-like lake appear ahead.

By the lake was a stone pavilion, where an old man sat fishing at the edge.

Li Luo brought the three to the stone pavilion, bowed slightly to the old man, and said, "Grandfather."

Li Li Jingzhe turned his head to look, his gaze swept over Li Luo, and a smile appeared on his cold, stern, aged face as he said, "Have you cultivated the Three-Light Glazed Glass?"

Li Luo nodded and smiled, saying, "I happened to have some opportunities in this Xi Ling Dark Domain, and I was fortunate enough to cultivate it thereby."

"Good; with this 'Three-Light Glazed Glass', your chances in this Dragon Head Contest will be even greater," Li Li Jingzhe said.

Then his gaze leaped over Li Luo and turned toward the other three.

"We greet the Pulse Head!"

Seeing Li Li Jingzhe's gaze turn toward them, Li Li Rouyun hurriedly bowed; Li Feng and Li Li Lingjing also nervously lowered their heads and bent their bodies.

Li Li Jingzhe waved his hand, his gaze paused on Li Feng for a moment, and he slowly said, "The Li family of Xi Ling is also considered a distant branch of our Pulse; in the past, one of your ancestors cultivated alongside me."

Li Feng hurriedly said, "This matter is indeed recorded in the family chronicles; the ancestor also left a last will, instructing us of the Xi Ling Li family to all follow the Pulse Head's lead."

Li Li Jingzhe did not pay attention to Li Feng's flattery but turned toward Li Li Lingjing and said, "Is it this little girl who was eroded by the True Demon alien?"

Under Li Li Jingzhe's gaze, Li Li Lingjing immediately felt a sense of oppression descend, and an inexplicable fear appeared in her heart, because she felt that at this moment, if Li Li Jingzhe merely moved his mind, she would vanish into thin air.

Under this terrifying level of power, even she, who was usually calm and composed, could not help but clench her pale fists, her body trembling slightly.

"Yes, Grandfather; if Cousin Li Lingjing had not helped me this time, I would not have obtained the opportunity for that 'Three-Light Glazed Glass', so I specifically brought her to the Long Tooth Mountain Range to see if there is a method of rescue," Li Luo's voice sounded at this moment.

With Li Luo speaking, Li Li Lingjing finally felt that terrifying oppression gradually dissipate; she immediately breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and at the same time, a trace of gratitude toward Li Luo arose in her heart; she understood the significance of Li Luo speaking these words at this time.

"I have already seen the intelligence; the 'Erosion Spirit True Demon' you encountered is indeed quite strange," Li Li Jingzhe looked at Li Feng and asked, "Previously, the Xi Ling Jing region did not report any intelligence regarding the 'Erosion Spirit True Demon'?"

Li Feng hurriedly said, "Your subordinate is incompetent; we have scanned the Xi Ling Dark Domain several times but have never discovered the tracks of this beast."

Li Li Jingzhe nodded and said, "Truly a talented junior; if not for the sudden calamity, he would already have become a prodigy of our Long Tooth Pulse by now."

He flicked his finger, and a drop of clear water rose from the lake before him, then floated over, suspending itself before his face.

Afterwards, a wisp of Xiang Power appeared at Li Li Jingzhe's fingertip; this wisp of Xiang Power looked extremely inconspicuous, but when it appeared, everyone present, including Li Luo, felt their own Xiang Power tremble, as if shivering; that feeling was like a wild beast encountering the true king of the mountain forest, daring not to be the slightest bit presumptuous before it.

This terrifying Xiang Power surged into the water drop; immediately, the water drop began to rotate, and after a few breaths, it expanded, actually forming a deep blue dragon eye about half a foot in size.

The dragon eye was extremely profound, and a terrible dragon majesty emanated from it, causing the void to tremble slightly.

And the dragon eye gazed straight at Li Li Lingjing.

Under the gaze of this dragon eye, Li Li Lingjing felt as if everything within herself was seen through to the bottom; even her heart and mind were being invaded and probed by a mysterious power.

"You need not panic; this is the 'Heavenly Dragon Purifying Eye'; it can observe the flow of heaven and earth energy, possesses the power to penetrate all hidden barriers, and under its observation, evil intent and qi have nowhere to hide," Li Li Jingzhe's calm voice sounded at this moment.

Hearing this, Li Li Lingjing suppressed the fear in her heart.

And as the "Heavenly Dragon Purifying Eye" released beams of deep blue light scanning Li Li Lingjing's delicate body, under the illumination of these beams, Li Luo immediately discovered with surprise that Li Li Lingjing's body seemed to be fading layer by layer; after a few breaths, her physical body seemed to have vanished, and an extremely mysterious light sphere appeared at the place where she originally stood.

"This is her consciousness, or rather, her spiritual body..."

Li Li Jingzhe spoke once, then pointed casually; the void rippled, and a point of spiritual light fell into the "Heavenly Dragon Purifying Eye"; immediately, its mysterious light blazed forth, and the pupil seemed to expand by a circle.

Even more abundant light fell upon Li Li Lingjing's consciousness light sphere.

Then, Li Luo, Li Li Rouyun, and Li Feng saw with changed expressions that deep within that consciousness light sphere, black qi emerged.

That qi radiated evil and coldness, and at the same time, constantly emitted inexplicable, eerie whispering sounds, rustling and rustling, causing the mind to become chaotic, and then addicted.

And Li Luo even sensed a familiar flavor from it; it was precisely that Erosion Spirit True Demon!

Under Li Li Jingzhe's action, this Erosion Spirit True Demon, hidden deep within Li Li Lingjing's body, was finally found.

But the qi of this Erosion Spirit True Demon clung tightly to the depths of Li Li Lingjing's consciousness.

Li Li Jingzhe stared at this scene expressionlessly, and then said, "So this is the Erosion Spirit True Demon? A very strange thing; it is not purely an alien; it seems to be mixed with many other things."

"This object is not formed by heaven itself, but is a product of human creation."

Li Luo's pupils shrank abruptly, horror surfacing on his face as he cried out, "The Spirit-Eroding True Demon was created by humans? How is that possible! Can the Other Kind create such things? Who is so mad?"

"The Other Kind is simply formed from the condensation of negative emotions of the human race."

Li Li Jingzhe spoke calmly, "On this, I sense a familiar hand. Surveying all under heaven, the person or faction capable of achieving this step might be none other than them."

"Who are they?" Li Luo could not help but ask.

Yet at the same time, an answer had already risen in his heart.

Li Li Jingzhe slowly exhaled three words: "The Unification Assembly."

A chill surged in Li Luo's heart.

As expected...

It is this mysterious and eerie Unification Assembly again.
