Chapter 157 Exorcism

Shang Xueyan knew they were confused, but without explaining, she took Li Wei away.

"Wait a minute, Sect Leader, may I ask if this Junior Sister Yan is also a prospective Holy Maiden?"

"Senior Sister Gu" stepped forward and asked.

"Of course, as I just mentioned, she also practices the methods of the Holy Maiden lineage."

Shang Xueyan responded calmly.

She had naturally been paying attention to Gu Meng and Yan Ruyu, these two prospective saintesses, for a long time.

According to past practice, she would need to choose the more outstanding one of the two to become her personal disciple and inherit the position of Holy Maiden.

However, it's hard to say who's better between the two, and she feels they're both a bit lacking.

Revealing his clone this time was also to put some pressure on them.

Let's see if the two of them can truly transform themselves.

"Then the position of Saintess—" Gu Meng asked, forcing herself to speak.

She has been fighting for this position of saintess for nearly thirty years.

Are we going to let this "Yan Xueshang" who appeared out of nowhere steal our prize?

"Xue Chang's situation is special. She was raised by me since she was a child. My taking her as my disciple does not mean that I will choose her as the Holy Maiden. You still have a chance."

Shang Xueyan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Meng and Yan Ruyu felt slightly relieved, but they still felt that they were much further away from the position of Saintess.

Suddenly, a new competitor appeared, and this person was the one who had helped find the Holy Son and had a close relationship with Shang Xueyan.

She has connections with the most powerful leader and the Holy Son of the Kongsang Sect, so how could she possibly lose the position of Holy Maiden?

The only way to regain the position of Holy Maiden is to break through to the Dharma Aspect stage as soon as possible and overwhelm the opponent in cultivation.

Shang Xueyan ignored the female disciples and led Li Wei and the elders to the dungeon.

During the last outbreak of demonic energy, many disciples from both the South Mountain and North Mountain factions fell into demonic possession.

Shang Xueyan planned to have Li Wei exorcise the demons from these disciples first, and then convene a sect conference to formally establish Li Wei as the Holy Son.

Li Wei followed behind her, walked onto a plank road, and walked several hundred meters further before reaching their destination.

It is a cave located on a cliff, and the entrance looks very deep.

Shang Xueyan and her two disciples, along with five elders, a total of eight people, went inside together.

It is worth mentioning that Li Wei noticed that Yao Yue was not among these elders.

Moreover, he is now quite knowledgeable and can clearly tell that none of these elders are virgins.

It seems that the Kongsang Sect does not prohibit marriage, and these elders should all have Daoist partners. Old maids like Yaoyue are exceptions.

The cave was chilly and the air was very cold.

However, the ground was very dry, with no water seepage, probably because it was only early February and the snow and ice on the mountain had not yet melted.

After walking a few dozen steps inside, the environment became dark.

An oil lamp hung on the wall for illumination, its light dim and flickering.

This reminded Li Wei of a time when he traveled back to ancient times and encountered a luminous stone in a mirage. It was very bright and convenient.

However, Li Wei knew that the thing must rely on mirage energy to glow, otherwise the high-ranking officials and nobles of this world would have already retrieved it from the sea and used it.

"We've arrived," Yan Xueshang reminded them.

Li Wei quickly looked ahead and saw that a large pit had been dug out at the bottom of the cave. The pit was surrounded by independent cells, with three floors and eight cells on each floor. At this time, twenty of the cells were used to imprison female disciples.

These female disciples, with their hair disheveled, huddled in a corner of the cell, occasionally emitting eerie laughter and cries.

Since these demonic disciples are at most at the Spirit Bridge level and most are just martial artists, feeding them a muscle-weakening powder will prevent them from gathering true energy, and then locking them up with thick iron chains will suffice.

In addition, there is a Dharma Aspect cultivator guarding the place to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Upon seeing Shang Xueyan and the others approach, the female cultivator on guard stopped meditating and stood up to greet them.

"Sect Leader, everything is normal."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

"Wei Li, go and try it." Shang Xueyan got a set of keys from the female cultivator on guard and tossed them to Li Wei.

"Yes, Master." Li Wei clasped his hands in response and took the key to the first cell on the lower left.

He found the corresponding key, opened the cell door, and the woman inside was stunned for a moment before pouncing out like a wild beast.

This woman couldn't even activate her inner energy, so she posed no threat to Li Wei.

With a thought, Li Wei used the primordial energy of heaven and earth to create a cage, controlling his opponent.

"It's actually a Dharma Image!" an elder exclaimed in a low voice.

Although Li Wei was wearing a mask, making it impossible to discern his exact age, it was clear that he was no more than thirty years old.

To have such cultivation at this age is definitely the mark of a prodigy.

Li Wei ignored the exclamations; the only two people here who knew his true identity were Shang Xueyan and Yan Xueshang.

Although he didn't really want to tell them his true cultivation level, in order to clear Li Wei of the Li Kingdom of suspicion as the Lord of Reincarnation, he had to appear even more monstrous and more like the Lord of Reincarnation.

Although Shang Xueyan was somewhat hypocritical, Li Wei felt that she was trustworthy as one of his own after getting to know her.

As long as she remains his apprentice, she shouldn't betray him easily.

As for Yan Xueshang, Li Wei felt there was nothing to hide anymore.

Shang Xueyan made a very good point yesterday.

True friendship is revealed in times of adversity. He and Senior Sister Yan once faced the pursuit of the Longevity Sect together, and they never abandoned each other.

If Senior Sister Yan really wanted to harm him, his grave would be overgrown with weeds by now.

He hadn't told Yan Xueshang about his breakthrough earlier because he wasn't sure of the Kongsang Sect's true attitude towards him.

Now that he has been formally accepted as Shang Xueyan's personal disciple, he is naturally no longer so nervous.

Li Wei stepped forward, walked to the female disciple who was restrained by the power of heaven and earth, and squatted down.

He extended his right hand and placed his palm on the woman's forehead.

The woman opened her mouth and roared, emitting a silent howl within the Yuan Power cage.

Li Wei remained unmoved, simply channeling his Nine Cauldrons True Qi.

When the demonic energy within the opponent's body encountered his fifth-tier Nine Cauldrons True Qi, it scattered and fled like mice before a cat.

However, the demonic energy was ultimately trapped and suppressed within the woman's body, making it impossible for it to escape. In the end, it was all dispelled by the Nine Cauldrons True Qi.

Finally, Li Wei found the demon's consciousness within the woman's sea of ​​consciousness.

Because the other party had no power to resist, Li Wei was able to easily see into the other party's sea of ​​consciousness.

The sea of ​​consciousness perceived by his divine sense was abstract, and Li Wei seemed to see a weak consciousness being trampled underfoot by a vicious consciousness.

That weak consciousness was already on its last breath, and Li Wei knew that it was the original consciousness of the female disciple in front of him.

And that malevolent consciousness that trampled on the female disciple's consciousness must be the "demon".

Without hesitation, Li Wei channeled the Nine Cauldrons True Qi into the opponent's head.

The demon's consciousness was struck by the Nine Cauldrons True Qi, causing it to let out a scream at the level of its spirit.

Then it shattered and vanished completely.

The exorcism went smoothly, but Li Wei had a feeling that something had entered his body when he killed the demon.

It was as if something had been taken back, natural and uneventful.
