Xiuxian: I have an inventory

The moment Gu Zongyuan and Su Wushuang received Xiao Changqing's order to 'retreat', they also saw the black mist breaking through the restrictions of the altar and began to overflow. They rushed out of the ruins without hesitation.

Originally, they were not worried about Xiao Changqing. Not only was Xiao Changqing the strongest, but his escape skills were also far superior to the two of them.

But they found that Xiao Changqing's escape speed was not too fast, and he was almost on par with them.

The two thought that Xiao Changqing was too loyal and wanted to retreat together, and didn't want to go alone.

But the next moment, the two of them were horrified, because the evil woman in white seemed to have set her sights on Xiao Changqing. When the three of them were retreating together, the evil woman in white suddenly exerted her strength and trapped Xiao Changqing in the blink of an eye, and ignored the two of them who were also retreating.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Su Wushuang and Gu Zongyuan's escape speed was also not slow. After Xiao Changqing was wrapped in the black fog, the two subconsciously continued to fly forward. In just a few breaths, they exited the ruins and came out of the formation.

They stopped and turned around to look at Xiao Changqing's situation.

They saw that Xiao Changqing had been completely wrapped in the black mist, and was completely cut off from the outside world, but they could still vaguely see Xiao Changqing's figure and movements.

Both of them were nervous, but no one dared to turn around to rescue.

It's not just because they are afraid, but also because they have enough confidence in Xiao Changqing's strength.

Xiao Changqing's strength in all aspects is far superior to the other two, and his ability to protect his life is also strong. Now, the evil female demon in white has not yet fully recovered, and can only threaten a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan stage at most, so she should not be able to trap Xiao Changqing.

Perhaps if Xiao Changqing shows his strength, he will be able to break through the black fog and escape.

If they rush in rashly, they may not be able to help, but may cause trouble and get themselves into trouble.

However, the development of the situation was completely different from what the two had guessed and was beyond their expectations.

They vaguely felt that Xiao Changqing swung a sword in the fog, and the sword energy flashed like starlight, trying to cut a path forward.

Ten years ago, when Xiao Changqing used such a sword, it could bring a certain threat to Zhu Qingyun, who was in the late Jindan stage and close to perfection, and its lethality was stronger than Su Wushuang. But at this time, the power of this sword was greatly weakened. In the black mist, it only caused a slight movement, and then it subsided, and it could not reach the boundary of breaking the black mist.

"What's going on? Why is Brother Xiao's sword so weak? Not as powerful as you, Master Su, or even as powerful as me?"

Gu Zongyuan was a little uneasy and said worriedly.

Su Wushuang also noticed it, "Could it be that being surrounded by evil spirits will suppress their strength to a great extent?"

Both of them were afraid.

Gu Zongyuan whispered, "We have to go help Brother Xiao."

Su Wushuang did not refuse directly, and said: "Wait a little longer, maybe Xiao Daoyou has a way to escape."

But soon, Su Wushuang gave up this hope.

The evil figure of the woman in white floated down from the altar like a ghost and quickly approached Xiao Changqing.

Although Xiao Changqing was still using his escape technique to flee quickly, in the eyes of two outsiders, Gu Zongyuan and Su Wushuang, Xiao Changqing was like a headless fly. He flew forward for a distance, then immediately ran backwards for no apparent reason, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right...

The ruins are obviously not big and one can almost see the end at a glance, but Xiao Changqing seems to be lost in it!

"Take action!"

Gu Zongyuan turned back to the ruins without hesitation, and used all his Jindan realm magic power to transform his life weapon, the flaming spear, into a giant dragon. It roared and stabbed at the black mist, shouting, "Brother Xiao, I'm here to help you!"

In Gu Zongyuan's view, Xiao Changqing is not only the "guardian god" of Liyang Fairy City, but also his friend.

Originally, Xiao Changqing had no need or obligation to come here to explore. It was he who asked to come and take a look, so Xiao Changqing followed along.

At this moment, Xiao Changqing didn't know why he was being targeted by the evil spirit and was being "taken care of". How could he just stand by and watch?

Even though it was fraught with danger to turn back and he himself would run the risk of getting involved, he had to do it.

Su Wushuang saw this, and there was some hesitation on his cold face, not as decisive as Gu Zongyuan. But after hesitating for a moment, he still activated the Snow Lotus Artifact to protect himself first, and also returned to the ruins.

However, although their attack power was quite strong, they were unable to create a hole in the black fog space for a while.

What made the two men even more uneasy and terrified was that they discovered that the evil aura of the woman in white began to grow rapidly, and the ominous feeling in the ruins became more and more serious!
In less than a moment, the two Jindan cultivators felt a heavy feeling in their hearts and were filled with fear.

"Is this evil spirit rapidly growing stronger?"

"What's going on? Its recovery speed is increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye!"

"Could it be that Brother Xiao is being devoured by it?" Gu Zongyuan and Su Wushuang had no idea what was going on in the black fog space at this time. They could only vaguely see that Xiao Changqing and the evil female demon in white had met.

The two could only rely on guesswork, with many thoughts emerging in their minds. In the end, they could only suppress the fear in their hearts and attack frantically.

……

Xiao Changqing cut off all contact with the outside world in the black fog space, as if he was in a small cave world. He seemed to have lost the concept of time.

However, the only thing he could feel clearly was that the degree of compatibility between the evil female demon in white and the fragments of the Immortality Stone was getting higher and higher, and its aura was becoming stronger and stronger.

It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it seemed like only a moment.

Xiao Changqing looked at the evil woman in white with a strange smile on her face. The smile was so bright, as if he had taken a big tonic. The dark and ominous aura was so intense that even Xiao Changqing felt his heart tremble.

He has never seen Yuanying Zhenjun so far, and does not know how terrifying his power is.

But he could tell that after "swallowing" the Longevity Stone, the evil aura and deterrence of the white-clothed woman had surpassed Zhu Qingyun and the Taoist master Li Yang who had achieved perfect Dan formation!
So even if the evil woman in white is not as good as Yuanying Zhenjun at this time, she is already extremely close and can almost be compared with him!

Coupled with the strange characteristics of the evil spirit, perhaps it is really as Mr. Yin San said, even if Yuanying Zhenjun comes in person, he cannot kill it, then it is helpless.

This evil spirit has most likely completely revived!
Although he could still sense the fragments of Xiao Changqing's Immortality Stone, he was unable to mobilize any of it. The Immortality Stone completely became the possession of the evil spirit in white.

Xiao Changqing wanted to fight for the ownership of it, but he felt like he was facing the difference between a babbling child and a strong adult man.

The difference is too big!
Even though the ownership of the Longevity Stone is in the hands of Xiao Changqing, he is only in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm after all, while the evil female demon in white has surpassed the Perfect Core Formation Realm!
There is a whole realm difference, and it’s more than that!

If it were anyone else, let alone someone at the Foundation Establishment stage, even someone at the Jindan stage, such as Gu Zongyuan and Su Wushuang, would probably have "knelt down" at this moment if they were in the black fog space.

That is Xiao Changqing. His soul is extremely powerful. It has reached its limit and started to undergo qualitative changes. Many cultivators in the late Jindan stage have not yet taken this step.

Only with his powerful soul can Xiao Changqing resist the ominous and strange aura and stand firm.

"It's about time!"

Xiao Changqing's eyes were fierce. If he used the Dragon Roar Technique, he thought he had a greater chance of injuring the evil woman in white.

Even though it wasn't a serious injury, it made him slightly distracted and his control over the black fog weakened. He broke the blockade and opened a passage, taking the opportunity to escape. There is still great hope.

But Xiao Changqing did not do so. He did not use the secret technique of spiritual consciousness. Instead, he could not help but call up the system interface with some excitement. Looking at the forehead photo frame of the Longevity Stone on the equipment bar, he silently said in his heart: Collect!
As long as the magic weapon is equipped by the system, it has a special function, which is that it can be directly stored in the system!
Simply put, this function is a bit like a storage bag, which can store items.

But now Xiao Changqing definitely cannot put the Longevity Stone into his storage bag.

Because his magic power was too weak in front of the evil woman in white, he couldn't even mobilize the Longevity Stone in the slightest.

However, when the items are put into the inventory, it no longer depends on Xiao Changqing's own magic power and control, but the system's built-in function!
"Now, it depends on whether the system's control is stronger than that of the evil woman in white!"

A thought emerged in Xiao Changqing's mind, and what happened the next moment made him realize that he had underestimated the system.

The evil female demon in white, who was originally "high spirits" with a weird smile on her face, suddenly screamed again.

It was no longer excitement, nor hunger, nor even anger, but terror!

It turns out that evil spirits can also feel frightened.

Even though it has fully recovered and is comparable to the Nascent Soul True Lord among human cultivators, it feels extremely terrified at this moment.

The black fog, so dark and thick that it looked like mercury, was stirring crazily. The entire ruins were shaking. The ominous aura made the animals and beasts within a hundred miles around crawl on the ground or go crazy.

But it was all in vain, the black mist was continuously absorbed into the Longevity Stone.

Along with the evil woman in white, they were also sucked in.

It twisted desperately and screamed continuously, trying to escape. It wanted to use its strange spatial power again to hide itself and disappear from this space, but it couldn't.

Xiao Changqing couldn't accurately understand its emotions, nor did he know what it wanted to say.

But one could probably sense that it was unwilling to accept the result and could not understand why there was such an incredible force competing with it for control of the Immortality Stone.

It even wanted to beg for mercy, because even if it was fully revived, it was still insignificant in front of this power. It could only mobilize a tiny bit of spatial power at most, but the power that was competing with it for control of the Immortality Stone was as majestic and vast as the entire world!
It took only two or three breaths of time. Following the last sharp roar of the evil woman in white, its figure was completely swallowed up by the "Eternal Life Stone" along with the black mist that filled the sky.

Afterwards, the fragments of the Immortality Stone also disappeared. (End of this chapter)
