Chapter 267: Strengthening the Seal
After Song Qingming bowed and saluted with the Carefree Sect crowd, he soon learned the identity of this woman.
Since they called her Senior Uncle Bai, she must be the third-ranked Golden Core Elder of the Carefree Sect, Bai Yuxian.
She is the only Heaven Spiritual Root cultivator among the Golden Core cultivators of this generation of the Carefree Sect, and she is also the one with the greatest hope of forming a Yuan Ying in the future. For this true genius in the cultivation world, Song Qingming is really somewhat envious. Some people are born standing at the top that others can't reach, and you may not be able to catch up with her heels even if you cultivate hard for a lifetime.
Seeing everyone, Li Wutong waved his hand and saw Song Qingming standing on the side, soon recognizing that he was the Qi Refining small cultivator who exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill from his hands back then.
It's just that, seeing Song Qingming, who had already successfully established his foundation and whose cultivation had steadily improved to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, Li Wutong, this Golden Core cultivator, didn't show any too surprised expression, just looked at him slightly and then turned his gaze away and asked:
"Where is the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and what is the situation inside now?" What made Song Qingming somewhat surprised was that Li Wutong didn't ask the mission leader Wang Mengxiao, but Bai Yunhua, who had the lowest cultivation on the side, as if he was closer to him.
"Reporting to Senior Uncle Li, the Demon-Suppressing Tower is in a cave in front. After the disciples discovered it, they retreated and stayed here, and didn't touch the seal."
Li Wutong nodded after listening, then glanced at Bai Yuxian on the side, and seeing that she had a plain expression and nothing to say, he signaled everyone to lead the way in front.
After passing through the dark cave again, everyone soon came to the Demon-Suppressing Tower in the underground cave.
After seeing the somewhat damaged stone tower, Bai Yuxian flew directly above the Demon-Suppressing Tower and looked at it carefully. After the crowd behind followed, she landed on the stone platform, and then a clear sound rang in the air.
"The main body of this demon is still sealed in the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and it should be just a part of the primordial spirit that escaped. I want to try to strengthen the seal first, don't get too close!"
Hearing that there was still a demon in the Demon-Suppressing Tower, the crowd who came in yesterday was suddenly shocked, especially Wang Mengxiao, who wanted to go to check the seal back then, broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He didn't know why he suddenly had this idea, and now thinking about it, he was really scared.
Hearing Bai Yuxian's reminder, except for Li Wutong, this Golden Core True Person, Song Qingming and other Foundation Establishment cultivators hurriedly retreated a hundred feet and stood far away on the side.
After the few people below walked away, Bai Yuxian lifted her jade hand lightly, and three black and white spiritual talismans flew onto the stone tower, tightly sticking to the top, middle, and bottom positions of the stone tower.
Then Bai Yuxian quickly cast a spell on these few spiritual talismans, and the runes on the three spiritual talismans immediately emitted spiritual light, and dozens of talisman seals quickly emerged from the spiritual talismans, then crawled all over the stone tower, tightly wrapping the entire Demon-Suppressing Tower inside.
After seeing these three black and white spiritual talismans, Song Qingming instantly recognized that this talisman should be the Demon-Suppressing Talisman commonly used by righteous cultivators to deal with demons, but the three Demon-Suppressing Talismans used by Bai Yuxian were far beyond the quality of those Song Qingming had seen before, and should be spiritual talismans that reached the third grade or above.
Being able to let Bai Yuxian use three third-grade Demon-Suppressing Talismans at once, Song Qingming could also detail how powerful the demon sealed in the Demon-Suppressing Tower was originally. If this demon were really allowed to escape, I'm afraid the entire Wei Kingdom would welcome a bloody storm, and living beings would be devastated.
Just when Bai Yuxian was wholeheartedly manipulating the spell to strengthen the seal, the Demon-Suppressing Tower, which had been motionless, suddenly shook violently, and some corners that had not been completely covered by the Demon-Suppressing Talisman suddenly rose a thick black mist.
The black mist quickly gathered into a huge black head above the Demon-Suppressing Tower and fiercely pounced on Bai Yuxian, who was casting the spell.
"Monster, how dare you be presumptuous!"
Seeing that the black head wanted to interrupt Bai Yuxian's spell casting, after a roar of anger, Li Wutong, who was protecting her, held a golden giant sword and flew into the air to stop it.
Although this head formed by black mist looked very scary, its strength was not strong. Li Wutong didn't spend much effort to cut it into two halves with one sword, but after these two halves of the head turned into black mist, they soon gathered together again and gave birth to a slightly smaller head.
Li Wutong was not surprised by this, reached out and took out several second-grade demon-subduing spiritual talismans and stuck them on his flying sword, directly taking the initiative to attack the head formed by the black mist.
This black mist saw that it couldn't defeat Li Wutong, so it wanted to slip away directly, but after escaping for a hundred feet, it was soon pulled back to the vicinity of the Demon-Suppressing Tower by some force, making it impossible to escape Li Wutong's attack at all.
After the blessing of the demon-subduing talisman specially used to deal with demons, the power of the flying sword in Li Wutong's hand increased by a few points, and not long after, with a scream, this group of black mist completely disappeared under his sword.
Li Wutong just finished fighting, and Bai Yuxian also made progress. With the continuous strengthening of the seal by the Demon-Suppressing Talisman, the entire stone tower slowly stabilized and no longer had black mist overflowing.
After waiting for another half a day, Bai Yuxian, who had completed the spell, finally put away the spiritual power in her hand and stood up.
"With this seal I strengthened, this demon will not have the ability to escape within two hundred years. However, this demon head has some ability to bewitch people's hearts, so it is still necessary to be careful to guard against it. Later, I will set up an array outside to seal the entrance, so as to avoid anyone mistakenly entering this place in the future."
"Senior Sister Bai, you just said that this demon has already escaped a part of its primordial spirit. Is there any solution to this major hidden danger?"
Although Li Wutong is older than Bai Yuxian, because he formed the core later than her, he still has to call Bai Yuxian Senior Sister in terms of seniority.
Bai Yuxian shook her head and said, "Currently, it is not known how the demon's primordial spirit escaped the seal range of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and it is impossible to know where this demon has escaped. However, I just looked at it, and this Demon-Suppressing Tower has been at least several hundred years old. Even if the demon head inside escaped a part of its primordial spirit and can possess low-grade cultivators, it doesn't have much lifespan to re-cultivate its skills. We don't need to worry too much about this point."
Hearing this, Li Wutong also breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "I don't know which predecessor sealed this demon here, and didn't even say hello to our Carefree Sect, almost causing a disaster by a few ignorant juniors!"
"The cultivation world is so big, and there are many predecessor experts who act in an unconventional style. Perhaps this Demon-Suppressing Tower was just done by some predecessor who passed by, and didn't want to have any involvement with our Carefree Sect."
