Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 222 Successfully sealed
His voice was resolute, and his figure moved like lightning, weaving through the demonic energy. Each swing of his sword carried immense power, attempting to dispel the demonic energy.

Li Qing and Xie Yunzhou also disregarded the danger and came to Liu Sijun's side.

Li Qing channeled the power of his mutated fire spirit root into Liu Sijun's body, attempting to alleviate her pain and repair her meridians.

His forehead was covered in sweat, and his face showed a pained expression, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, muttering to himself, "Sister, you must hold on."

Xie Yunzhou then unlocked the last demonic chain at his heart, and the power of the Xuan Yin bloodline surged into Liu Sijun's body like a raging tide, attempting to suppress the evil power of the Nine Nether Demon Abyss core fragment.

His face turned as pale as paper, and his body began to tremble slightly, but his eyes remained incredibly firm.

At this moment, a young disciple of Yaohua Palace saw Gu Changzhou fighting alone in the demonic energy and rushed over on his crane without hesitation, using the crane's power to relieve Gu Changzhou's pressure.

Several disciples of Yougu Palace also formed a small team and circled around to the side of the demonic energy, attempting to attack it from behind and disrupt its offensive rhythm.

Some of the younger members of the Chu family, under the cover of the sword formation, quietly approached Liu Sijun to protect Li Qing and Xie Yunzhou and prevent them from being disturbed by demonic energy.

With everyone's efforts, Liu Sijun gradually regained consciousness.

She felt everyone's care and dedication, and a powerful force welled up in her heart.

"Everyone... thank you..." Liu Sijun said with difficulty, "We can't give up, there must be another way."

Just then, the Taixu Mirror suddenly shone brightly, and Chu Yue's phantom image appeared in the mirror.

Chu Yue's eyes were gentle yet firm as she looked at Liu Sijun and said, "Sijun, true power does not come from magical artifacts, but from your own heart. You must believe in yourself and believe in everyone."

Looking at Chu Yue's illusory figure, Liu Sijun felt a sudden sense of clarity.

She closed her eyes, feeling the surge of various powers within her body, and began to try to fuse the power of the Primordial Void Nascent Soul, the Flaming Sun Wheel, the Primordial Void Sword Soul, the power of the Profound Yin Bloodline, and the power of the mutated Fire Spirit Root together.

With her efforts, these forces gradually began to merge, forming a completely new power.

This force is warm and powerful, full of vitality and hope.

Liu Sijun opened her eyes, a resolute light shining within them. She raised her hand and waved, and this new power transformed into a beam of light, flying towards the World-Destroying Demon Array.

Wherever the light passed, the demonic energy of the Nine Netherworlds dissipated.

Seeing this scene, the disciples of the various sects felt their hopes rekindled.

They all unleashed their unique skills once again, joining forces with Liu Sijun to fight against the world-destroying demon array.

The cranes of Yaohua Palace spread their wings and soared into the sky, spewing out holy light; the disciples of Yougu Palace drove the power of nature, forming green barriers; the Chu family's sword formation shone brightly, with sword shadows like a forest.

With everyone working together, the power of the World-Destroying Demon Array was gradually weakened.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Sijun once again condensed the Seven Star Demon Locking Seal. This time, with the support of new power, the Seven Star Demon Locking Seal emitted a dazzling light and hovered steadily in the air.

Liu Sijun formed hand seals, manipulating the Seven Star Demon-Locking Seal to press down on the World-Destroying Demon Array.

Under the suppression of the Seven Star Demon Locking Seal, the World-Destroying Demon Array began to shrink gradually and was eventually completely sealed.

The demonic energy of the Nine Netherworlds dissipated, and Laiyang County returned to peace.

Liu Sijun and the others breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, exhausted. "We...succeeded..." Liu Sijun said weakly, a relieved smile on his face.

The group looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy and gratitude.

They knew that this victory was hard-won and the result of everyone's joint efforts.

In Laiyang County, after the demonic energy dissipated, the people emerged from their hiding places.

They gazed at Liu Sijun and the others, exhausted yet resolute, in the sky. After a moment of silence, they erupted into thunderous cheers.

Many people bowed to them with tears in their eyes, grateful to these heroes for protecting Laiyang County and their homeland.

Liu Sijun was helped to her feet by Gu Changzhou, Li Qing, and Xie Yunzhou. Looking at the cheering crowd below, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

Despite being utterly exhausted, seeing the people safe and sound made all the effort worthwhile.

Elders and disciples from various sects also gathered around. Although they looked tired, their faces showed more joy at surviving the ordeal and admiration for Liu Sijun and the others.

An elder from Yaohua Palace stepped forward and nodded slightly to Liu Sijun: "Miss Liu, if it weren't for you this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Yaohua Palace will forever remember your and everyone else's great kindness."

Liu Sijun bowed slightly and replied humbly, "Elder, you flatter me. As a disciple of Yougu Palace and connected by blood with the Liu and Chu families of Laiyang County, it is my duty to protect this place. Moreover, without the concerted efforts of the major sects and the people of Laiyang County, it would have been impossible for me to succeed on my own."

Song Hongyuan stepped forward, his eyes filled with pride and satisfaction: "Master Si, although you have not been in Yougu Palace for long, I am very pleased with your achievements. You have not only demonstrated the demeanor of a disciple of Yougu Palace, but also made great contributions to the world."

Liu Sijun bowed respectfully to Song Hongyuan: "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I owe my success today entirely to your teachings and support from Yougu Palace. In the future, I will continue to work hard and live up to the expectations of Yougu Palace."

Successfully sealing the world-destroying demon array is a joyous occasion.

However, Laiyang County suffered considerable damage as a result, and for several months afterward, it was busy repairing the damaged city walls.

It took Liu Sijun and the others half a year to recover their bodies to their best condition.

The matter of the Blood Spirit Cult has been resolved.

With no worries about the future, the next step is to return to the sect to investigate the matter of how Master was framed back then.

However, before returning to Yougu Palace, Gu Changzhou insisted on getting married to Liu Sijun first.

“I feel that we are both cultivators. I am only twenty-four years old, and you are thirty-one. We are in the prime of our lives and can still go to many places and see many sights.”

Gu Changzhou pressed his index finger to Liu Sijun's lips: "What do you mean by all this? We can do these things just as well after we're married!"

Liu Sijun still tried to argue: "How can this be the same? Marriage doesn't offer that much freedom. You can't just leave whenever you want."

In my past life, I've seen too many women who said all the right things before marriage.

I will definitely be able to be myself.

The results of it!
After marriage, there are all sorts of trivial matters.

So subconsciously, Liu Sijun was somewhat afraid of getting married.

It's so nice to get along like this, without so much entanglement, and we can just leave whenever we want.
