Chapter 398

"Ah~"

Ignited by the Red Lotus Karma Fire, the black skull twisted instantly, and a large amount of black mist spewed and spread. In an instant, it condensed two arms.

The two hands kept slapping the Red Lotus flames on the skull, trying to extinguish them.

Unfortunately, the Red Lotus flames were not extinguished but burned more and more vigorously.

The black skull found that it could not extinguish the Red Lotus flames at all, and immediately felt a fatal danger. When the Red Lotus flames were about to submerge the entire skull, it twisted crazily.

At this time, behind the skull, a faint, screaming soul shadow emerged.

"Hall Master of Lingguang Hall, let me go, otherwise, I will turn the entire Nanxiang County into a ghost domain."

"Xiu!"

The firelight landed, and Hua Changxi stood outside the mass grave. She turned a blind eye to the black skull that was twisting crazily and making threats while floating above the mass grave. Without any hesitation, she summoned the Floating Light Sword and dealt a sharp blow to it.

"Ah~"

The black skull was cut into two halves by the sword light, but it quickly fused again.

This time of fusion, the black skull was obviously smaller, and even the black mist that emerged was less.

"If you don't let me live, then we will die together."

The black skull let out a chilling and ear-piercing scream, and then plunged into the mass grave.

Hua Changxi saw this and was not worried. Once stained with the Red Lotus Karma Fire, unless the karma was burned out, don't think about getting away.

Prince Shou was dead!

Yes, Hua Changxi saw the appearance of the soul shadow revealed by the black skull clearly. It was exactly Prince Shou, from whom she had smelled a foul odor the first time they met.

This person must have practiced the evil arts of the Ghost clan.

The next moment, Hua Changxi's expression changed suddenly.

In the area where the mass grave was located, a massive amount of black gas spewed out and spread toward the surroundings at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was ghost energy!

The ghost energy was like ink, like a breached torrent, carrying a bone-chilling cold that eroded everything, spreading toward the pure land of living beings in all directions.

Wherever it passed, plants withered and withered instantly, and even the light was swallowed, leaving only absolute dead silence and coldness.

Hua Changxi's expression changed greatly. She was glad that no living people lived around the mass grave. If living people inhaled the ghost energy, it would consume their yang energy, and in serious cases, they would directly become living dead.

Cannot let the ghost energy spread outward!

However, she was not an array master and could not set up a spiritual energy shield on the spot to block the ghost energy.

Hua Changxi's eyes flickered. The only divine ability she could use to seal the space was the Lotus Domain.

"Boom~"

In the distance, the cultivators of all parties had just changed color because they saw the black mushroom cloud rising into the sky. Before they could react, they saw a lotus-shaped flame spinning rapidly and plunging into the center where the ghost-colored mushroom cloud was thickest.

Immediately after, the fire lotus grew in the wind, and every petal stretched out, blooming with billions of rays of firelight. At the same time, the majestic fire spiritual energy in the sky over Nanxiang County surged and gathered toward the fire lotus.

"Li~"

Vaguely, there seemed to be a bird's roar in the fire lotus.

The light of the fire lotus turned into countless fine flame chains, like flowing lava, woven into a huge fire net that covered the sky and the sun, completely covering the surging black mushroom cloud.

"Zizi zizi~"

Inside the Lotus Domain, the bright and sacred Southern Bright Li Fire and the gloomy and sinister ghost energy collided fiercely, emitting a violent sound like a hot soldering iron immersed in ice water.

The ghost energy twisted and impacted crazily, phantomizing countless ferocious ghost faces, trying to tear apart this cage of flames.

The lotus rotated, and as the petals opened and closed, it formed a perfect spherical barrier, locking the ghost energy that was trying to escape firmly inside.

Finally, the sky-filling ghost energy was completely imprisoned in the fire lotus.

Looking from the outside, it was like a huge, translucent red fire amber lotus, with thick ink rolling inside.

The brilliant Southern Bright Li Fire burned slowly in the Lotus Domain, continuously purifying the evil inside.

Looking at that grand fire lotus, countless cultivators changed color.

It was not because the fire lotus blocked the spread of ghost energy, but because the fire lotus reminded them of the earth-shattering battle at Mount Wuzhi.

The Hall Master of Lingguang Hall was actually the Fire Lotus Fairy who had unveiled the veil of spiritual energy recovery to the world!

"I said so, the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall would definitely not be a nobody."

"The Fire Lotus Fairy of Mount Wuzhi......"

Above the Central Holy Land, Wei Zhenjie's mouth twitched constantly after seeing the fire lotus. Hiding the head but not the tail.

After a helpless sigh, Wei Zhenjie quickly took out the One-Thought Connection and sent a message to the Prince of Dong'an stationed in Qingzhou—stop all parties from exploring Mount Wuzhi.

After sending it, Wei Zhenjie thought for a while and sent a message to his confidant in the Demon-Suppressing Army—take over the Three-Fork Medicine Valley and strictly forbid outsiders from entering or leaving.

Above the Imperial Palace, looking at the ghost energy sealed by the fire lotus, the Retired Emperor's face was terribly dark.

The Emperor also put down the affairs in his hands, stood in the air, looked at Nanxiang County, and listened to Prince Shou's miserable screams. In his heart, there was hatred for the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall, but more of it was powerlessness.

The tenth is dead, the thirteenth is probably not going to live either. On the Wutong Forest side, Princess Princess Zhao Huang could never pass the test, and that blessed land is probably not destined for the imperial family.

All these indicated that the imperial family's planning for Nanxiang City was a complete failure.

This made the Emperor feel more and more clearly that the Chu imperial power was collapsing rapidly.

Under the cover of the fire lotus, the illusory black skull appeared again, letting out a miserable and unwilling roar to the sky: "Avenge me, you must avenge me!"

The imperial family members who knew the identity of the black skull looked at Prince Shou trapped in the fire lotus with ashen faces, being burned bit by bit until his soul flew away and scattered.

Some force leaders who knew something about the mass grave and the missing Zhu Que soldiers felt a chill in their spines when they saw Prince Shou being burned to death alive by the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall.

The methods of the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall....... ruthless enough!

"Ah~"

Listening to the screams of the black skull, Hua Changxi reached out and covered her chest.

"Bang bang bang~"

Her heart was beating excitedly, as if cheering for the screams.

Hua Changxi's eyes were dark. At this moment, Prince Shou's screams actually made her feel exceptionally pleasant.

Thinking of the battle with Chu Junshan and Zhu Yan in the egg-shaped space before, her expression sank.

Zhu Yan was not killed by her but was directly refined and swallowed by Chu Junshan executing his divine ability.

Chu Junshan got the black and white lotus lamp in Zhu Yan's hand, let the black and white lotus lamp cooperate with his divine ability, and launched an attack on her.

Although she used the fire axe to resist and did not let the black flames stain herself, affected by the black flames, the black flames on her Nascent Soul heart still grew larger.

In the egg-shaped space, trapped in it, she wished she could use the fire axe to destroy that space; now that she was out, all the killing intent in her heart was directed at Prince Shou.

Watching him being burned bit by bit, she actually felt it was a kind of enjoyment.

Hua Changxi realized that her state at this moment was not right and silently recited the Heart-Clearing Mantra.

After the black skull in the Lotus Domain was completely burned to ashes, the ghost energy seeping out from the ground gradually decreased until no more ghost energy emerged, and then she withdrew the fire lotus.

Hua Changxi looked at the mass grave that had been burned into scorched earth, did not linger, turned into a meteor again, and flew toward the Wutong Forest.

Outside the Wutong Forest, the cultivators of all parties did not expect the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall to break free so quickly. Seeing the incoming fireballs, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Among them, the demons of the Phoenix clan ran the fastest.

However, before they could flee, a fire axe with flowing light and color broke through the air.

"Boom~"

The fire axe, carrying the terrifying power of the fire-type law, smashed heavily toward the demons of the Phoenix clan like a meteorite from outside the sky.

The moment the fire axe collided with the Phoenix demon clan, it started raining demon beasts in the sky.

One by one, phoenixes, as well as the bird demon beasts led by the Phoenix clan, kept falling from the sky, smashing toward the ground, raising rolling dust and smoke.

Of the thousands of demon beasts, only three Spirit Platform Realm fire phoenixes avoided the fire axe's attack.

The human cultivators looked at this scene in horror, and the speed under their feet was no less than that of the three Spirit Platform Realm fire phoenixes, fleeing away from the Wutong Forest rapidly, especially those who had secretly struck at the Zhu Que Army, who fled even more crazily.

They thought that the three Spirit Platform Realm fire phoenixes could escape, but they didn't expect that three fire axes would appear in the sky again, chasing and attacking the three fire phoenixes respectively.

The two fire phoenixes that ran slowly were soon caught up by the fire axes, hacked into two halves, and died instantly, falling to the ground.

"Demon Saint Lord, help!"

The last fire phoenix was so panicked that it directly burned its life essence and blood, executed the secret arts of the demon race, and asked the Demon Saint in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains for help.

Immediately after, the human cultivators in Nanxiang County saw that the air over Nanxiang County began to fluctuate violently and ripple significantly. Before long, a rapidly growing vortex appeared in the center of the ripples.

The moment the vortex appeared, a giant claw as clean as white jade stretched out from the vortex quickly, reaching toward the fire phoenix.

Just as the giant claw grabbed the fire phoenix, it quickly retreated into the vortex.

The moment before the vortex closed, the fire axe arrived and hacked fiercely onto the vortex.

"Ci~"

The air vibrated, the fire axe shattered, and golden blood spilled into the mountains and forests.

The next moment, everyone saw the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall descend over the Wutong Forest like a bright sun.

Hua Changxi looked at the closed vortex, her brows knotted.

What a powerful spatial divine ability!

"Zhu Que Army, clean up the battlefield!"

Hua Changxi withdrew her mind, glanced at the human cultivators who were far away from the Wutong Forest, gave an order to the Zhu Que Army, and flew back into the egg-shaped space like a meteor again.

As soon as she returned, the egg-shaped space flickered a few times, then suddenly disappeared, and the surging power of blood and energy also disappeared with it.
