Chapter 978: It Will Be Fine

"No..." Yu Sichen cried out involuntarily. A wisp of black Qi surged into her eyes once more. The baleful energy influenced her again; she stood up slowly, her eyes replaced by cold, murderous intent.

She walked toward the villa entrance. Now that she had fallen into the path of the Demon, she would slaughter anyone she encountered without mercy.

Suddenly, a green shadow flashed by, and a girl appeared before Yu Sichen. This girl was none other than Liu Lianxin.

Yu Sichen raised her right hand, and three Ice Awls formed. *Chi-chi*, the three ice spikes attacked Liu Lianxin.

Liu Lianxin tapped her toes lightly on the ground, her figure drifting backward. She easily dodged the three ice spikes, then flipped her right hand upward, and a Pearl Flower appeared in her hand.

"Om, mani, padme, hum..." As the Six-Syllable Mantra was uttered, the Pearl Flower exploded with a boom. Six large characters flashing with golden light flew out and suddenly imprinted themselves into Yu Sichen's body.

Yu Sichen's gaze stalled, and the murderous intent in her eyes gradually vanished. Her body went limp, and she fell backward.

Liu Lianxin caught her with a backhand, preventing her from hitting the ground.

Yu Sichen slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Liu Lianxin, she managed a strained smile: "Kill me..."

"There will be a way; I am taking you away." Liu Lianxin comforted her and helped her leave.

Locking onto Yu Sichen's aura, Chen Yu followed all the way into this villa.

The moment he opened the door, he could not help but be stunned. The courtyard was covered in corpses, and an extremely thick, bloody stench wafted over.

At least ten corpses lay scattered across the yard, and the interior of the villa also reeked of blood: an ice sculpture shattered into pieces on the ground, and several bodyguards with blood blooming at the center of their brows.

And a corpse torn in two by a powerful force; this corpse was already unrecognizable.

"Yu Sichen." Chen Yu stood in the courtyard and shouted.

The aura on her body disappeared here. No matter how Chen Yu pursued with his Divine Sense, he could not find a trace of her; it was as if she had vanished into thin air.

Suddenly, the villa's main gate was kicked open from the outside. A woman dressed in black tactical gear rushed in with a team of fully armed personnel.

This woman was Su Yan. Seeing the scene in the courtyard, she could not help but be shocked.

The team members who rushed in with her were all people who had experienced great storms and waves, but even they could not bear to look at the severed limbs and broken arms filling the yard.

"Chen Yu, why are you here? What is going on?" Seeing Chen Yu, Su Yan was startled.

"Yu Sichen was taken away by them; I followed them all the way here." Chen Yu furrowed his brows: "But now I cannot sense her aura. The Dark Power that had been suppressed inside her body has erupted. If she isn't found, it will be terrifying."

"This group of people are international drug lords; I was ordered to come and arrest them. I'll go check the surveillance first." Su Yan's expression turned slightly stern.

She heard that Chen Yu's tone was heavy; if not handled well, this matter might become very serious. She took a few people to the underground surveillance room.

The surveillance room restored everything. When Chen Yu saw Yu Sichen's eyes, his heart sank.

Her mind had already been eroded by the Dark Power. The Ancestral Ghost was now at the end of the road, struggling in his death throes.

When he saw Liu Lianxin appear, a strange look flashed across his eyes: "Liu Lianxin?"

"You know her?" Su Yan asked.

"I do, an old friend. What is she doing taking Sichen away?" Chen Yu felt some doubt in his heart.

Liu Lianxin and Yu Sichen were both at Jizhao Temple transcending the souls of the dead; their relationship should be quite good. Liu Lianxin is a disciple of the Buddha; could it be that she has a way to save Yu Sichen?

"I will have the local police cooperate with the investigation." Su Yan stood up and said.

"No need, I know where she went." Chen Yu revealed a thoughtful expression.

Liu Lianxin took Yu Sichen and traveled all the way to a Lone Peak.

On top of the Lone Peak was an inconspicuous small courtyard. The archway directly in front of the courtyard was engraved with the three large characters "Jingxi Abode".

Jiulian Mountain, Jingxi Jushi.

Xin City is a Sacred Land for Buddhism, with Wutai Mountain as the center; there are dozens of mountains and temples of various sizes in the surrounding area. Jingxi Jushi once practiced as a layperson at Wutai Mountain, but her own Daoist site is actually on Jiulian Mountain, which is very far from Wutai Mountain.

A woman stood in the courtyard. The woman was over forty years old; her figure was straight, her long hair draped down, letting the Moonlight spill onto her body. Her gaze was cold, yet within her aloofness, there was a sense of insight into all things in the world.

Jingxi Jushi, who was Liu Lianxin's mentor.

"Master, Sichen has been brought back. Her situation is very bad right now; she has been eroded by the Dark Power. Please, save her." Liu Lianxin said anxiously while supporting Yu Sichen.

"Xin'er, your Buddha heart is in turmoil." Jingxi Jushi smiled slightly and turned around.

Although Jingxi Jushi was older, her realm was extremely high, having reached the point of maintaining her youth. She looked mature and intellectual, and because of her many years of practice, every gesture she made carried a hint of being untainted by the mortal world.

"She... she is my friend. She practiced with me at Master Huizhao's place, so I am overly worried." Liu Lianxin lowered her head.

"All phenomena arise from affinity; it is all fate. Your affinity with her is merely a passing encounter. Remember, the more you let go, the more you will possess." Jingxi walked over slowly, looking at Yu Sichen.

Under her gaze, Yu Sichen's eyes slowly opened. The moment they opened, Yu Sichen's pupils contracted rapidly. An extremely dangerous aura made her retreat involuntarily.

Unfortunately, she was still a step too late. Jingxi Jushi pointed with her right hand, and a Whisk appeared in her hand. Countless white hairs extended, binding Yu Sichen tightly within the Whisk, leaving her unable to move.

"Master, you..." Liu Lianxin was startled.

"In this world, light and darkness cannot coexist." Jingxi Jushi said indifferently: "Although she was born in the light, she has been invaded by darkness, so she should be imprisoned in the Lock Demon Tower to suffer punishment."

As Jingxi Jushi spoke, the Whisk in her hand rolled out. The three-story archway in front of the door suddenly turned into a three-story high tower. This was the Lock Demon Tower.

Yu Sichen's figure was pulled into the tower. She said sharply: "Jingxi Jushi, I thought you were a master of a generation, but I did not expect you to be such a hypocrite. You are locking me in the tower because you have other motives, right?"

"Demonic obstacle, you dare to talk back?" Jingxi Jushi formed a Buddha Seal with both hands, and three golden rays rose from thin air, suppressing the tower.

With a boom, a layer of golden light on the surface of the Lock Demon Tower flashed and vanished, and Yu Sichen's sharp shrieks were completely isolated inside. The Lock Demon Tower slowly disappeared.
