Lin Tai had already walked to the center of the talisman formation. Seeing that Qin Bing was unmoved, Wei Yunfei stomped his feet in anger, turned around and rushed into the formation. The two figures blurred and disappeared.
The stone door in front of Qin Bing opened with a rumble. At this time, Qin Bing had gradually recovered her magic power because she had escaped from the evil spirit. She immediately put on a thick layer of ice armor and flew up the Star Sword. When the stone door was half open, she rushed out, but saw that the stone door of the stone chamber opposite was closed and Shi Feng was nowhere to be seen.
Qin Bing stood there in a daze. Could it be that Shi Feng had been sucked into the stone chamber by the black air?
She walked to the stone chamber on the left and saw that the stone door was tightly closed and no demonic energy was leaking out. However, she was not as good as Lin Tai in knowing how to open the stone door. She pressed the buttons randomly and kicked it a few times, but the stone door did not move at all. She used the Star Sword to chop at the stone door, but it remained motionless without even a trace left.
Then he thought again, that's not right. Shi Feng had no power and was not controlled by the evil spirit at all. When everyone was trapped, he was the only one who was not restrained and ran out easily. The evil spirit was obviously still suppressed by the seven swords and his body could not move. Otherwise, no one would have escaped alive.
In addition, when Wei Yunfei forcibly pulled him over, he clearly saw that the stone door opposite was only half closed, and Shi Feng could easily escape. But why didn't he let go of the stone door and run over here? And where did he go after he was delayed like this?
Qin Bing thought about it for a long time but could not come to a conclusion. He looked outside the courtyard. Could it be that after Shi Feng escaped, he found that the stone door of the escape chamber was closed, so he ran back to the hall outside?
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and flew towards the outer hall with her sword. She had already decided that she had to search all the outer halls before leaving. As for the devil, he had been subdued again and could not leave the stone gate.
When Shi Feng was holding up the stone door, he naturally didn't think of fighting the purple-haired devil head-on. When Qin Bing asked him to escape, Shi Feng saw that most of the people in the stone chamber had left, so he wanted to let go and run away.
At this moment, the black air in the stone chamber had completely spread. Shi Feng suddenly felt dizzy, and his head swelled up. The white fox said anxiously, "Boy, why don't you leave? The beautiful senior sister has been rescued. Do you still want to fight the devil with your sword?"
Shi Feng's face flushed red, and his breathing seemed to be difficult. He said, "Master Hu, I feel very wrong. I feel very uncomfortable. It seems that something is stirring in my other half of consciousness, and it seems to be getting more and more violent."
The white fox was stunned. "Possession? Could it be that the devil wants to take over your body? No, he clearly has a physical body."
However, at this moment, Shi Feng could no longer speak. His entire face seemed to be bleeding. He held his head and roared, rolling around in the stone chamber. The stone door slowly closed naturally without anyone blocking it.
In the stone chamber, apart from the six or seven shriveled mummies on the ground, there was only the purple-haired demon man still sitting cross-legged on the stone platform in the middle. At this moment, he was trying his best to resist the piercing pain of the seven swords. Seeing Shi Feng rolling on the ground and banging his head against the ground, he was stunned, but he had no time to care.
After a while, Shi Feng slowly stood up and suddenly burst into laughter. "I'm finally out. Haha, haha, I'm finally alive. Haha, eh, where is this?" When he saw the purple-haired man, he scanned it with his spiritual sense and quickly knelt down. "So it turns out to be my demon clan ancestor. Your disciple kowtows to you and thanks you for saving me."
The purple-haired man remained silent for a long time. After the seven swords' radiance gradually dimmed, he asked, "Young man, what is your name?" Shi Feng kowtowed and said, "My name is Wu Si, and I am an elder of the Demonic Puppet Sect."
The purple-haired man asked, "Demon Puppet Sect? I haven't heard of it. It seems you are also a member of the demonic sect?" Wu Si said, "Yes, the Demon Puppet Sect is the demonic sect of Yan State. May I ask, ancestor, what place is this?" The purple-haired man said, "You just possessed the body of this young man. Don't you know what this place is?"
Wu Si concentrated on thinking for a moment and said, "This kid's consciousness was completely shattered, leaving no information behind." The purple-haired man asked, "When did you possess this kid?" Wu Si said, "Judging from his physique, he's probably under twenty years old. That should have been four or five years ago. I was fighting a cultivator from the Taiji Sect in Da Cang Mountain and my body was accidentally destroyed. This kid was standing nearby at the time. In desperation, I entered his consciousness. However, I was seriously injured at the time, and my consciousness was dormant. I have no idea what happened in the past few years. I don't know how I suddenly woke up today and devoured this kid's consciousness, successfully taking over his body."
The purple-haired man said, "I see, that's right. Your consciousness was weak at the time. If you had continued to sleep, your soul would have been destroyed within two or three years. It just so happened that the host came to me. I have abundant demonic energy here, and your consciousness was nourished, so it naturally grew rapidly and devoured the host's consciousness."
Wu Sidao said, "I see. Thank you very much for saving me, Old Ancestor."
While the two of them were talking, they didn't know that the other half of the consciousness in this body was also having a conversation.
Shi Feng said angrily, "Master Hu, when did this person hide in my consciousness?" The white fox said, "This person is the demon elder who possessed the blood puppet. He entered your body just like I did back then. It's just a coincidence that we entered your left and right consciousness palaces. If he had also entered this palace at that time, I would have killed him long ago. Because your two consciousness palaces are independent, I can't enter your other half of your consciousness palace, and I have never known about this."
Shi Feng asked, "What should I do then? He's taken my body away. Am I doomed?" The white fox replied, "Not really. As long as you and I work together to retake that half of my consciousness palace, this body will still be yours. However, you must not let that demon know about this, or he'll destroy us in a snap of a finger. You did a great job just now. The moment he took over my body, you escaped from that consciousness palace to mine and took away all my consciousness memories. This guy probably doesn't know you have the other half of your consciousness palace."
At this time, the purple-haired man said, "Since you said you are a member of the Demon Puppet Sect, do you know the magic techniques?" Wu Si said, "Disciple knows." He knew that the purple-haired man didn't trust him a little, so he immediately recited a long passage of magic techniques.
The purple-haired man nodded and said, "It seems that you are indeed a member of the demonic sect. God is really helping me. What is your name?"
"Disciple Wu Si."
"Okay, Wu Si, if you can help me escape this time, I will grant you supreme magic power, let you become the leader of the Demon Puppet Sect, and dominate the entire Yan Kingdom." The purple-haired man laughed.
Wu Si bowed his head repeatedly, "Disciple will do his best to help the ancestor."
The purple-haired man said calmly, "Okay, help me pull down these seven flying swords. You are a human, not a demon. They won't hurt you."
Wu Si said, "As you command." He came over, grabbed a flying sword, and pulled it back with all his might, but it didn't budge. Wu Si summoned his magical power and suddenly smiled bitterly, "Ancestor, this body is actually that of a mortal without any magical power or spiritual roots."
The purple-haired man also remembered that Shi Feng had no magic power and was not controlled by the evil spirit, so he saw through his illusion. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. He had been trapped by these seven flying swords for hundreds of years. He finally hoped that someone could help him break free from the restriction, but he didn't expect that it was a mortal without spiritual roots and magic power. These flying swords were magical weapons, and could not be controlled without magic power. Even the greatest brute force could not move them at all.
The purple-haired man thought for a moment and said, "Come here, I'll take a closer look." Wu Si was a little scared, but he still walked over obediently. The purple-haired man said, "Put your palm on the back of my hand."
Wu Si followed his words and gently pressed his hand on the back of the other person's hand. He felt a burning sensation on his touch, and then a ball of heat moved around his body. At this time, Shi Feng and Bai Hu were extremely nervous in the other half of their consciousness palace, so they didn't dare to communicate with each other through their consciousness.
Fortunately, the heat wandered around the body and never penetrated into the brain to detect the spiritual consciousness.
After a long while, the purple-haired man murmured, "Is there really such a strange thing in the world?" Wu Si didn't dare to answer.
The purple-haired man said, "Your body is very strange. It's not that you don't have spiritual roots, but that you lack spiritual roots." Wu Siqi said, "Lack of spiritual roots, this junior has never heard of."
The purple-haired man said, "Of course you haven't heard of it. I'm afraid not many people in this world know about lacking spiritual roots. You know, whether you humans or us demons, we actually all have all five elements. The so-called lack of spiritual roots simply means that the five elements are not high enough to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. For example, your body has all four elements of gold, wood, water, and earth, but they are all relatively weak and don't meet the requirements of spiritual roots. The only exception is the fire root. Your body is not weak, but it doesn't exist at all. This is what is called lacking spiritual roots."
Wu Si thought, wouldn't it be even worse if I didn't have any at all? He asked, "Old Ancestor, what do you think we should do?" The purple-haired man said, "If I don't have any spiritual roots, I can still find some natural treasures and see if eating them can improve my constitution. But, hey, I don't have any of them here at the moment."
Wu Si was suddenly disappointed.
The purple-haired man murmured, "I'm lacking spiritual roots, and I just happen to be lacking fire spiritual roots. It seems this is heaven's will, heaven is helping me." Suddenly he said to Wu Si, "Wu Si, don't despair. I happen to have a cultivation method that I can pass on to you. Hehe, this is your chance. With this method, you can advance to the Nascent Soul stage and dominate the Yan Kingdom."
Wu Sidao said, "Ancestor, my disciple has no spiritual roots, how can I practice the technique?"
The purple-haired man laughed and said, "It's precisely because you lack spiritual roots, and it must be the fire spiritual root that is lacking. If there is even a trace of fire spiritual attribute in your body, you can't practice this technique. Don't be surprised, there are many strange and bizarre techniques in the world, and my technique can only be practiced by those who lack fire spiritual roots. Hehe, this method is not something that can be practiced by ordinary people, even I can't practice it. My body is imprisoned, and I don't have a jade slip to copy it to you. I will read the technique to you now, and you must listen carefully."
Wu Si hurriedly said, "Yes, Ancestor."
