Chapter 112: Chapter 93: Demon Suppression Divine Power Eradicates True Qi! Nurturing Evil Spirits Outside the Pure Land!_2

Lin Yan’s brows furrowed tightly, and he felt somewhat astonished by her last remark.

But before he could think more about it, he saw the silver streak of light loop back toward them.

"Oh right, the lines of poetry you gave that little girl are a bit off,"

the girl said with furrowed brows as she rode on her horse, "The great bird takes flight with the wind in a single day, lowering its head in thought of the maiden... It always feels inappropriate. Mr. Lu said I heard it wrong, can you recite it to me again?"

"Ah?" Lin Yan was taken aback, just about to speak.

"Ah what? I sold the Vajra Strong Soul Divine Skill, so if the verses for your niece are wrong, isn’t that the same as me accepting counterfeit money?" The girl’s brows furrowed even tighter.

"..."

After the experience with the deceptive lantern and counterfeit money, Lin Yan had developed a deep aversion towards such deceit, so he recited both lines of the poem.

"The Roc takes flight with the wind in a single day, soaring straight up ninety thousand miles..."

The girl’s eyes brightened up, and she couldn’t help but say, "It really is quite different! You’re young yet your ambition is so high; no wonder Mr. Lu holds you in high regard!"

At this moment, her mood was evidently much cheerier than before, and she immediately urged her Jiao Linma forward.

Before leaving, she even raised her hand with increased interest and said, "General Flag Envoy Wu Chang, farewell!"

"General Flag Envoy?"

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, then saw the silver streak speeding away, stirring up billowing dust in its wake, trailing behind like a sinuous yellow dragon.

He furrowed his brows and promptly took Mr. Lu’s Spirit Talisman, wearing it on his body.

He could faintly sense an unusual Qi Mechanism deeply hidden within his body.

With his Refining Essence Realm cultivation, he still felt overwhelmingly exhausted, without having recovered, apparently because of this strand of Qi Mechanism.

Lin Yan furrowed his brows, closed his eyes slightly, and mobilized his Qi-Blood, attempting to suppress it.

This strand of Qi was quite weak, but extremely concentrated, as if a living thing.

With the Qi-Blood of his Refining Essence Realm, he was unable to dispel and suppress it.

It was like a tiny worm!

If it was in front of his eyes, he could crush it with a flick of his hand.

But hidden inside his body, burrowed into his flesh, it was difficult to deal with.

It seems that only with the help of Mr. Lu’s Spirit Talisman, and seven days of effort, could he gradually dissipate it.

Thinking this, a thought suddenly struck him, and he had a flash of insight!

Divine Skills! Demon Suppression!

——

In High Willow City.

Yuan Tongye, the Great Commander of the Left City Guard Army, had a usual expression on his face, but was inwardly somewhat expectant.

His strand of Qi Mechanism was attached to the other person, hidden deep within their Qi-Blood.

Even if the person was at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm, they had no means to get rid of it.

So he was not anxious, merely waiting to mobilize troops and generals to slay the opponent.

The world might be vast, but upon nightfall, only the Pure Land could offer refuge.

The opponent couldn’t escape!

If those treasures were outside the city, they would be easy to handle.

"Wang Yuan, the man who secretly practiced the Worshiping Evil Method, the slaughterhouse incident, the words of the culprit, may not be false!"

"This old fellow, it can be said he deserved his death, and our Left City Guard Army is rid of such a thorn," Yuan Tongye mused with joy in his heart, ready to lead the cavalry behind him to besiege the city.

But at that moment, he suddenly let out a muffled grunt.

Realizing something, his face turned pale.

"Great Commander?" A Deputy General stepped forward, full of concern.

"Nothing,"

Yuan Tongye waved off and his eyes grew extremely dark.

Why had his strand of Qi Mechanism been broken?

He remembered Mr. Lu’s bodyguard, that black-faced man.

His brows furrowed even tighter, thinking to himself, "No, with Mr. Lu in the city, he couldn’t personally resolve it for him! Even if Mr. Lu gave a Spirit Talisman or such in advance, it would take at least ten days or so to dissipate my True Qi!"

Killing is easy, saving is hard!

Stabbing someone with a knife is simple, but healing a knife wound isn’t easy!

"Great Commander?"

"Out of the city!"

Yuan Tongye’s voice was grim as he said, "Encircle from all sides, he ultimately can’t escape!"

Even if he lost that strand of Qi Mechanism, he still was confident he could capture the brash man and reclaim the treasure.

——

Meanwhile, amidst the wilderness.

Lin Yan’s expression fluctuated.

The Demon Suppression Divine Power had actually worked?

Normally, his Demon Suppression Divine Power was only effective against evil spirits!

Why could the "True Qi" of the Great Commander of the Left City Guard Army be extinguished by the Demon Suppression Divine Power?

"Qi Refining Realm..."

Lin Yan couldn’t help but feel his mouth go dry and his tongue parched.

Looking at the Qi-gathering Treasure Bead in his hand, his expression changed unpredictably.

Vaguely, he seemed to understand the difference between the superior and inferior methods that the girl had mentioned just now.

But at this moment, in the wilderness, as the afternoon waned, he had no time to ponder carefully, for he needed to reach the next Pure Land before nightfall.

What was more important, he thought of something!

Evil Spirit Lanterns!

In High Willow City, with Liu Venerate sitting in power, the true form of the Evil Spirit Lantern had not approached!

But now, if he were in the darkness, would the true form of the Evil Spirit Lantern come for him?

Perhaps Lin Yan was not the only one who had survived under the threat of the Evil Spirit Lantern’s death toll.

But Lin Yan was the only one who, after taking the Evil Spirit Lantern’s life-saving money, had also dispersed its avatar!

He dressed in the attire of the Flag Commander from Linjiang Station, hung the small crossbow on his waist, and fastened the token of Linjiang Station properly.

Then he sheathed his sword and strode forward.

After the Demon Suppression Divine Power had destroyed that strand of True Qi, he had completely recovered in this instant, with the vitality of his body at the Refining Essence Realm.

At the same time, he took the opportunity to use the remaining Evil Qi to perfect both the Disguise Technique and the Qi-Concealment Technique and then channel all the remaining Evil Qi into his cultivation.

Cultivation: Refining Essence Realm (2474/3650)+

Disguise Technique (100/100)+

Qi-Concealment Technique (100/100)+

These two techniques, were considered by the girl he had encountered earlier, as something Lin Yan could advance further within seven days.

At this moment, Lin Yan had pushed them to perfection, within the span of seven days.

"After today, my cultivation is one step closer to the perfection of the Refining Essence Realm," he thought with some emotion, and then he remembered something else.

He had just wiped out with the Demon Suppression Divine Power the strand of Qi Refining Realm True Qi left in his body, gaining thirteen strands of Evil Qi.

In fact, if one were to talk about the benefits in terms of Evil Qi, it was not much less than killing a person at the peak of the Internal Strength Realm.

But this strand of True Qi was extremely concentrated, penetrating his body and potentially deadly.

This showed that individuals in the Qi Refining Realm had reached a level of intricate manipulation.

"With a minimal amount of strength, they can cause tremendous harm," Lin Yan thought to himself, "This is a method that can’t be achieved in the Refining Essence Realm."

While he pondered this, the evening sky had arrived.

Just ahead was the location of the Pure Land.

This Pure Land was in a cave in the mountains.

Inside, it was no more than two hundred steps long and eighty steps wide.

Belonging to the small Pure Land category, it could not accommodate many people.

And according to Lin Yan’s understanding, Pure Lands that were expansive often had people living in them long-term, eventually forming a system similar to a village over time.

By the time Lin Yan arrived and found the entrance to the Pure Land, there was already light from a fire inside.

Clearly, there were already people inside the Pure Land.

This was quite common, after all, many merchants traveling through would inevitably seek out Pure Lands to avoid the assault of the night.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yan had just approached when he suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Outside the cavern of the Pure Land, there were three clay pots.

Inside them surged Evil Qi, clearly housing lurking Evil Spirits.

This indicated that among the people resting in the Pure Land tonight, there were those who practiced the Worshiping Evil Method.

Because Evil Spirits cannot enter Pure Lands, they are usually placed at the edge of Pure Lands.

This is also a protective measure; at nightfall, the Evil Spirits would block the entrance, acting as a sort of "gate."

"Worshiper of Evil?"

Lin Yan uttered softly, his expression unchanged.

Within the major cities, the practice of the Worshiping Evil Method is prohibited.

Because the nature of Evil Spirits is too uncontrollable, disasters are bound to occur sooner or later.

But for the people outside the cities, without the protection of "city walls," they struggle to survive in the dark.

And the Worshiping Evil Method has been the magic method passed down from generation to generation, on which they rely for survival.

Afterwards, Lin Yan bypassed the three clay pots and was about to enter the Pure Land.

But before he could step in, the person inside, hearing his footsteps, emitted a cold voice.

"The Pure Land is full, no outsiders allowed, get out!"

"..."

Lin Yan looked up at the sky, then glanced at the three clay pots, and let out a sneer, "Do you want to use me to feed the Evil Spirits?"
