Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 228 Yue Qiluo is bursting!
Buzz~!

With a humming sound, the Primordial Eight Trigrams Formation and the Soul Devouring Formation overlapped each other, forming an inseparable whole.

"It's done!"

"It actually happened!"

Seeing that the two formations are intertwined, clearly distinguishing between good and evil, yet they complement each other.

Everyone was astonished and marveled at the sight.

"Yin and Yang intertwine and combine. Yes, there is no such thing as pure good or evil in this world. Good and evil are two sides of the same coin."

Even Zhang Jingqing and the others nodded in agreement, unable to help but sigh with admiration.

"Weird."

At the same time, everyone was curious.

How did Li Kunshan know that these two formations could be used together?

Although Li Kunshan's cultivation far surpassed that of his peers, he did not seem to have much expertise in formations.

"Haven't you figured it out yet?"

"what?"

"Isn't this magic array the same as the one used by the demoness on the altar of the Myriad Laws Sect?"

Just then, someone suddenly spoke up and pointed it out.

The others were startled, then suddenly came to their senses and quickly looked in the direction of the Wanfa Sect Altar.

Then, his eyes widened again. There was no mistake. Although the altar of the Myriad Laws Sect was covered by the evil aura of the Blood Demon, a glimpse through the gaps revealed that it was exactly the same as the one that Li Kunshan had directed them to set up!
In other words, it wasn't Li Kunshan who came up with this magic array, but rather he copied it directly from the Wanfazongtan!

"He's really something."

Although it's a direct copy, it's still a skill that most people can't match.

Magic arrays are profound and obscure. If they could be understood simply by looking at them from the outside, then there would be no secrets to magic arrays in the world, and everyone would be a master of magic arrays.

Li Kunshan is even more impressive that he can replicate the whole picture from just a few fragments.

After all, many of them hadn't even figured out the origin of the magic array after setting it up.

Of course, some people also thought that Li Kunshan might have other ways to know how to use this magic array, and not just by 'taking a look'.

Although I was surprised, it didn't matter.

What everyone wants to know now is what Li Kunshan is trying to do by replicating this magic array here.

"Could it be!"

It's not hard to guess that Yue Qiluo set up this magic array to absorb the evil energy of the Blood Demon. Li Kunshan's replication at this time is very likely for the same purpose.

Upon realizing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

He quickly came to his senses and looked at Li Kunshan with a serious expression.

"What is he going to do?"

Once Yue Qiluo absorbs all the evil energy of the Blood Demon, she will become the new Blood Demon. Therefore, if some of the evil energy of the Blood Demon is taken away, preventing Yue Qiluo from fully absorbing the power of the Blood Demon, it will be possible to prevent her from becoming the Blood Demon.

I have to say, this is indeed a solution.

Although it's not a good solution, and it's not even a moderate solution, it's a last resort.

However, magic arrays alone are not enough.

Let alone competing with Yue Qiluo, who is already halfway through, even if she were simply absorbing the Blood Demon's evil energy, Yue Qiluo would be relying on the power of the Myriad Laws Sect Altar.

Not to mention Longhu Mountain, even looking at the entire Zhengyi sect, there is no other Wanfazong altar.

But since Li Kunshan made this arrangement, he must have already thought of a way to make amends.

At this moment, everyone held their breath and watched how he would do it.

Step~!

Without any delay, Li Kunshan stepped out and stood in the center of the magic array after it was completed.

"Hmm~!"

He lay on his back, mouth wide open.

【warn!warn!warn! 】

[Forcibly removing the demonic seed at this point will render your Dao Fruit cultivation futile, and the attribute will also be destroyed!]

[Do you want to retrieve it?]

"Yes!"

Having already made up his mind, Li Kunshan confirmed it without the slightest hesitation.

[The demon seed has been extracted!]

[The entry for "Cultivating Demonic Power in the Dao Heart" has been destroyed!]

The system notification sounded again, and on the personal page, the golden entry 'Demonic Seed of the Dao Heart' disappeared as if blown away by a strong wind.

Buzz~!

At the same time, a blood-red seed flew out of Li Kunshan's mouth, like a heart, hovering in mid-air and beating rhythmically.

"What's this!"

"Such a strong demonic influence!"

"what happened?"

Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened, clearly quite surprised.

There was no demonic energy emanating from it, but everyone could clearly sense the powerful evil force hidden deep within this seed, that is, its demonic nature.

This item is probably comparable to the Blood Demon's core, though whether the Blood Demon even has a core is another matter.

Putting aside its rarity, the key question is how it came to come out of the mouth of Li Kunshan, a disciple of the Zhengyi sect!

Could it be that Li Kunshan has cultivated demonic arts?

No, if he had truly fallen into the demonic path, how could he have hidden it from the eyes of Zhang Jingqing and the others? And how could he dare to openly reveal it now?

Moreover, if one had already cultivated a core possessing such demonic power, one would have long since become a world-renowned demon.

But if that's not the case, how do you explain the current situation?

It was truly perplexing, and for a moment, many people turned to look at Uncle Nine.

As a master, one should know about the disciple's situation.

Uncle Nine shrugged, looking aggrieved. What did he know? He was just like everyone else; he didn't know a thing!
Everyone was speechless for a moment, then turned to Li Kunshan to see how he would proceed.

The most important thing right now is to stop Yue Qiluo; everything else can wait until things are settled.

Boom~!

As the demonic seed was released, its powerful demonic energy, amplified by the array, soared into the sky.

Boom~!

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and they're practically in cahoots. They're only about ten miles apart. Attracted by the demonic seed, the blood demonic energy in the air stirred restlessly, showing a tendency to fly towards them.

"It works!"

Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened, their faces filled with excitement.

Li Kunshan's method is feasible!
But then, one by one, they all frowned.

Boom~!

The blood demon's evil energy was only being drawn in, but it was still a long way from being pulled over.

After all, these blood demonic energies were not ownerless at this time, but had been controlled by Yue Qiluo.

For a moment, everyone felt annoyed again.

If we had thought of this method from the beginning, we might have been able to seize a portion of it before Yue Qiluo fully mastered the Blood Demon's evil energy.

However, it is extremely difficult to snatch the Blood Demon Qi from Yue Qiluo now.

It was like a tug-of-war. Li Kunshan's side was just a six or seven-year-old child, while Yue Qiluo was equivalent to a strong adult man weighing nearly 200 kilograms. How could they possibly pull her away?

"So that's how it is! What a pipe dream!"

Yue Qiluo had naturally noticed this as well. She glanced at Li Kunshan and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

At the same time, he let out a soft sigh of relief.

When she heard that Li Kunshan had a way to deal with her, she was outwardly tough but inwardly a little panicked.

Knowing that it was actually about competing with her for the Blood Demon's evil energy, she instantly felt at ease.

She has already absorbed more than half of the Blood Demon's evil energy, and with the assistance of the Myriad Laws Sect Altar, the rest, though not yet absorbed, is already under her control. How can others possibly snatch it!
"Humph."

Yue Qiluo gave a soft hum and continued to absorb the evil energy of the Blood Demon with peace of mind.

However, I subconsciously sped up a little more.

After all, Li Kunshan had 'killed' her once, so subconsciously he still considered her somewhat of a threat.

"Ok?"

But then, Yue Qiluo suddenly felt that the power pulling on the Blood Demon's evil energy had increased considerably. However, compared to her own strength, it was still far from enough to be a cause for concern.

But before they could relax again, the pulling force suddenly intensified several times over.

Boom~Boom~!

Under constant entanglement, the blood demonic energy in the air fluctuated more and more violently, showing faint signs of breaking free from control.

"That damned, stinking Taoist priest!"

Looking up, Yue Qiluo's face was full of anger.

He quickly increased his power again to firmly control the blood demon's evil energy.

At the same time, it inevitably accelerates the absorption rate.

As long as she absorbs it quickly enough, the other party won't have a chance to take it away. Moreover, the more she absorbs into her body, the greater her own proportion becomes, while the proportion of external blood demonic energy decreases accordingly, making it easier to control.

"rise!"

Meanwhile, on Li Kunshan's side...

Besides him, eighteen strong men stood outside the formation; they were the last eighteen Blood God Sons to be trained.

The Sixteen Mudras awaken extraordinary abilities of immense power and indestructibility, much like the 'Power Series' of Vajra Warriors.

In the air were also 108 golden-armored divine generals, who were heavenly soldiers and generals recruited by Li Kunshan as the fourth-rank official inspector of the Ministry of Finance and the three provinces.

At this moment, with the help of Li Shiba and the 108 Golden Armored Divine Generals, Li Kunshan's strength grew stronger, and his ability to draw in the evil energy of the Blood Demon naturally increased significantly.

"One hundred and eight divine generals, that's incredible?"

Looking at the numerous celestial beings in the sky, Zheng Yi and his companions exchanged bewildered glances and clicked their tongues in astonishment.

As a disciple of the Zhengyi sect, although one can command heavenly soldiers and generals after receiving ordination, that is only in theory.

In reality, many heavenly soldiers and generals did not respect these temporary divine positions in the mortal realm.

Therefore, when they usually issue decrees to summon people, it is considered a great honor if four or five people come.

One hundred and eight people like Li Kunshan came at once. Not to mention ordinary sorcerers, even many high-ranking immortals could not do it. It would probably take celestial masters and sect leaders like Zhang Jingqing and Xuan Yi Zhenren to do it!
That's why everyone was wondering, where did Li Kunshan get such a lot of influence?

But in reality, it wasn't about giving face; it was fear—fear of the Divine Thunder in Li Kunshan's hands!

"so much?"

However, even though Shenxiao Lei was notorious for its ferocity, it had never summoned so many gods before.

Li Kunshan himself was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but glance at the entry.

Is it another matter of destiny?

"Come here!"

At this moment, he didn't have time to think about anything else. With a roar, Li Kunshan pulled at the blood demon's evil energy with all his might.

Under his pull, even more of the blood demon's evil energy was drawn in.

But at the same time, it was also clear that Yue Qiluo was increasing her efforts to prevent the blood demon's evil energy from being drawn over.

Li Kunshan was overjoyed; everything was exactly as he had predicted.
"not enough!"

But then he frowned again, realizing that at this level, it was probably still a bit lacking.

However, Li Kunshan himself had indeed done his best.

As for the other Blood God Children, their special abilities are not related to strength, and whether they are inside or outside the body makes little difference.

"We're here to help too!"

Just as they were struggling with the problem, the others had already realized what was going on.

Standing on the outer edge of the magic circle, they joined Li Shiba and the others.

They were all highly accomplished Taoist masters, though their qi and blood were not as strong as Li Kunshan's, they were still far superior to ordinary Taoists.

Moreover, as members of the Zhengyi sect, they could also summon heavenly soldiers and generals. In an instant, a large number of golden-armored divine generals from various departments and regions surged into the sky.

Boom~!

As the saying goes, when everyone works together, the strength is more than doubled compared to before!
With a deafening roar, a surge of blood demonic energy in the air was suddenly pulled out and flew straight towards this side.

"Have it!"

"It's been pulled over!"

Seeing this, everyone was filled with excitement.

Even if it's just a wisp, as long as Yue Qiluo doesn't fully absorb the Blood Demon's evil energy, it can prevent her from becoming the new Blood Demon.

"Everyone, push!"

Everyone was greatly encouraged and pulled with all their might.

Huh~!

At the same time, Li Kunshan raised his left hand, making a gesture of supporting the sky. In his palm, a mouth suddenly appeared, opening towards the blood demonic energy in the air, intending to devour it.

"I see!"

"Great!"

Seeing this, everyone's last bit of worry disappeared.

I was wondering how to deal with it even if the Blood Demon's evil energy was pulled over.

Should we make Li Kunshan follow Yue Qiluo's example and offer himself to the demon?
In retrospect, he was well-prepared.

Although this mouth looks a bit strange, like I said, let's talk about it after this is all over!
"hateful!"

Seeing the blood demon's evil energy being pulled away, Yue Qiluo became even more furious.

Having come this far, how could she let it all fall apart at the last minute!
"Come back!"

With a roar, he used all his strength.

At the same time, the speed at which it devours the evil energy of the Blood Demon is also increased to the maximum.

If it goes any faster, she won't be able to digest it.

Boom~!

With Yue Qiluo's relentless efforts, the evil energy of the Blood Demon surged violently again, and the two forces were locked in a stalemate in the air for a time.

"Everyone, work harder!"

"We're almost there!"

Seeing that the momentum had stopped again, the group of people were filled with anxiety and shouted loudly.

Li Kunshan stood in the center of the formation, watching the evil energy surging violently to the left and right in the air, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

The time has finally come!

He then turned to the crowd and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, listen to my command. When I say 'release,' stop and back off!"

"Let go?"

Everyone was stunned. They had reached the final moment; why were they going to let go?

"Prepare!"

But at this moment, Li Kunshan shouted a warning.

Everyone snapped to attention and dared not be negligent. Although they were puzzled, at this moment, they could only obey Li Kunshan, the commander-in-chief.

"put!"

The next moment, Li Kunshan roared and at the same time crushed the demonic seed in the air.

"retreat!"

Everyone's eyes widened instantly when they saw the demon seed suddenly explode.

Regardless of any previous hesitation, they all stopped instantly and retreated as quickly as possible to avoid the attack.

Boom~Boom~!

With a deafening roar, the power of the exploding demonic seed created a massive impact, slamming it against the blood demonic energy in the air.

"This is!"

Yue Qiluo was pulling with all her might when the opposing force suddenly disappeared, as if one side had suddenly let go during a tug-of-war, and before anyone could react, the Blood Demon Evil Qi was pulled over.

Boom~Boom~!

Under immense inertia, a large amount of blood demonic energy surged into Yue Qiluo's body.

"No!"

Yue Qiluo looked up at the sky, her eyes wide open, and let out a terrified scream.

Boom~!

But the next moment, his whole body burst open like an inflated balloon as a large amount of blood demonic energy suddenly surged in!
