Chapter 61: The Purple Key

"Hey!"

The voice of the evil god appeared in his sea of divine sense, "To survive my mental pressure without losing your soul, you little one, are quite interesting. It seems you have many secrets hidden within you!"

"You actually deceived me!"

Yi Qianmo’s body trembled; in front of the evil god’s power, he had no strength to resist. But he did not give up; instead, he focused on the Sword Pill in his dantian, always ready to fight back.

"Hahaha, fool, do you really think you are a great person? Wanting to obtain the Minggu Tower, look in the mirror!"

The evil god laughed loudly, "Oh, your sea of divine sense actually has a seal. Unbelievable, a person’s sea of divine sense can have a seal!"

The evil god transformed into a red figure, created a sword, and slashed towards the seal in his sea of divine sense, "It seems this seal is what has preserved your soul. Let me see what kind of seal this truly is!"

The blood-red sword struck the seal, and at the moment the sword touched the seal, the Sword Pill in Yi Qianmo’s dantian erupted instantly.

The spiritual power within him was instantly drained, and his entire body shone with a white light, making him look pure and clear.

"What… is this power!!!"

The terrified voice of the evil god came through, and even a tiny bit of power released from the seal crushed his divine awareness.

"I was hoping you would help me break through a layer of the seal, but I didn’t expect you would only talk."

In Yi Qianmo’s eyes, a silver-white light flickered, and his sea of divine sense began to gather his thoughts again.

"Who are you really?"

The voice of the evil god was filled with immense fear. As he spoke, his divine awareness immediately retreated from Yi Qianmo’s sea of divine sense.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Yi Qianmo gathered the intent of his sword and struck down with it in the sea of divine sense.

The evil god’s consciousness had just gone halfway out when it was sliced in two, with one half crushed by the sword intent in the sea of divine sense.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

The statue in the grand hall immediately cracked, and fear appeared on the evil god’s snarling face.

Yi Qianmo’s awareness returned, and he held the Blood Talisman in his hand. He directly took the Blood Talisman from the statue, and with a flash of strange red light, the hall finally returned to silence.

"Who… who are you?!" came the voice of the evil god.

"Who I am is not for you to know, but you are about to die."

Saying this, Yi Qianmo threw the blood-colored talisman into the air. With a "clang," the Repel Evil Sword was drawn and slashed at the talisman.

"No!"

The evil god shouted in fear, but it was already too late.

The blood-red talismans were not cut in half; when Repel Evil touched the blood-red talismans, a terrifying blood curse aura erupted from it, pulling the talismans onto the sword.

The blood-red talismans gathered on the sword’s body, forming the shape of a deity. A blood-colored mist from the shape was drawn onto the sword, and as the blood energy was absorbed by Repel Evil, the deity immediately turned to ash.

A ghostly face appeared on the sword, struggling and roaring to escape, but as the blood curse aura wrapped around it, the ghostly face vanished from the sword.

Yi Qianmo let out a long breath and noticed a soft light shining beneath the ash of the burnt deity.

He cleared away the ash and discovered a key hidden underneath. The key was engraved with ancient patterns and was purple, but nothing else was special about it.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

Suddenly, the ground shook; Yi Qianmo quickly put the key into Sword Pill and left the temple. Just as he stepped out, a glowing pattern flashed beneath the temple, creating a blinding light.

Under that light, the entire temple was instantaneously reduced to dust.

"What happened?" Zhou Lanting and Yu Xiu looked at him in confusion.

"Didn’t you see?" Yi Qianmo asked in surprise.

"No, after you entered, you just disappeared into thin air. We didn’t see anything," Yu Xiu said. "There are barriers inside that block the view from the outside."

"I ran into some trouble and almost lost my life. Let’s go!"

Yi Qianmo said, not mentioning the evil god, and the two showed no curiosity to ask further.

They walked down the mountain, originally expecting to encounter those red-haired monsters, but found that the red-haired monsters were nowhere to be seen.

The dark sky suddenly lit up, and when they looked down the mountain, the black ancient tower was also gone.

They did not dare to hesitate and immediately hurried down the mountain. Along the way, they felt many strong presences, and the spirit beasts hidden in the mountains began to appear again.

Luckily, they ran fast and didn’t meet the spirit beasts until they reached the prairie. However, after Zhou Lanting released her own aura, these spirit beasts did not dare to come close.

Upon reaching the lava pool, Zhou Lanting immediately took out the Five Element Refuge Bead. She infused her spiritual power into the bead, and it suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light.

The bead slipped from her hand, and Zhou Lanting’s hand was burned and mangled by the light.

Yu Xiu picked up the bead and looked at Zhou Lanting seriously, saying, "You are a person of dark magic!"

The burned Zhou Lanting immediately grasped her sword, filled with killing intent, and said, "What, do you want to eliminate evil as well?"

"Dear one, only by putting down the slaughtering knife can you achieve enlightenment."

Yu Xiu made a respectful bow.

"Stop talking nonsense! You bald monks kill people just as ruthlessly as I do!" Zhou Lanting replied angrily.

"This is not the time for fighting among ourselves!"

Yi Qianmo glanced at both of them and said, "Let’s discuss this somewhere else."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiu activated his spiritual power and infused it into the Five Element Refuge Bead. The two of them immediately stepped into the light circle and then landed in the lava pool.

Just a short while after they left, a flash of light suddenly appeared above the ruins of the Taoist temple, revealing a woman dressed in white.

"Finally, she’s come out!"

The woman in white focused her energy and let out a long cry, causing all the spirit beasts in the mountain to cower and tremble on the ground.

However, just as she was about to step beyond the temple’s boundaries, a glowing pattern suddenly lit up beneath the temple, forming a white barrier that immediately pushed her back.

"Damn it, why hasn’t this barrier disappeared yet!"

The woman in white looked around and said, "Something’s wrong; the key to unlock the barrier is missing."

………

Half an hour later, Yi Qianmo and the two others floated out from one end of the crack, and Zhou Lanting jumped and landed on the rock wall, bringing the other two up with her.

Looking toward the other side of the rock wall, Zhou Lanting said, "Help me get the Anomalous Fire, and I will owe you a favor!"

"Why won’t you help me?"

Yi Qianmo said, "If you help me, I will give you the antidote, how about it?"

Zhou Lanting was stunned. After weighing the pros and cons, she said, "Okay, I hope you keep your word, but I need this little monk’s help!"

"If you are willing to put down your weapon and turn your heart towards kindness, Yu Xiu…"

Yu Xiu said sincerely.

Before he finished speaking, Yi Qianmo gave his bald head a light knock and said, "If you want to help him, can we finish our task first?"

"Hehe, the senior is right."

Yu Xiu scratched his head and said, "Alright, what do you need help with?"

"You and I will lure out the Fire Demon, and whether we succeed next will depend on his own fortune."

Zhou Lanting said.

Yu Xiu thought for a moment, then took out the Five Element Refuge Bead and handed it to Yi Qianmo, saying, "Senior, this can ward off fire. It might be useful when facing that Fire Demon."
