Volume 1 Chapter 154: Devilish Energy Enters the Body

  Yang Feng followed Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo, the two of them flying through the air towards the deeper part of this underground world. Originally, Yang Feng thought that the two large camps of Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo were already at the central region of this underground world, but Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo told Yang Feng that they were still only at the outermost edge. They wanted to go further out, but due to the constraints of the demonic energy, they couldn't move even a single step, so they could only set up camp there!

  Listening to Bai Qi and Zhao Gou, Yang Feng was greatly amazed at the vastness of this underground world. It's too big here! At their flying speed, Yang Feng estimated that they could fly around Huaxia several times, but in this underground world, they were only on the edge, far from the real center.

  Yang Feng didn't ask what was going on and just followed Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo as they flew forward. However, Yang Feng had already clearly felt that the deeper they went in, the thicker the demonic energy became. Although he had confirmed that he could also absorb demonic energy, which wouldn't have any effect on him but would only increase his strength, Yang Feng discovered some different places as they went deeper inside.

  Yang Feng found that the deeper he went, the heavier the resentment in the demonic energy was. Occasionally, there were some white light clusters flashing in the black demonic energy. Yang Feng even felt that the strong resentment was emitted from those white light clusters. Yang Feng thought of what Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo had said before and guessed that these white light clusters should be the vengeful spirits gathered by the Xuan Yin Ju Xi array, and most of these vengeful spirits were the military souls of the 400,000-strong Zhao army killed by Bai Qi!

  The military soul was already much stronger than the ordinary person's soul, and these military souls became vengeful spirits, making their power even greater! Along the way, Yang Feng only felt a chill in the air, the sound of ghosts wailing and gods howling never-ending in his ears. Fortunately, Yang Feng had the protection of the True Dragon Purple Qi, so these vengeful spirits couldn't get close to him no matter how powerful they were! And Bai Qi's soaring killing intent and Zhao Kuo's ghostly aura also made those vengeful spirits unable to approach them!

  However, these vengeful spirits were extremely delicious to the Golden Silkworm Mother. It flapped its wings and darted back and forth among the glowing orbs, absorbing one after another with an air of joyful busyness. At first, Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo didn't pay much attention to the thumb-sized insect flying around Yang Feng's side, but when they saw it devouring vengeful spirits, they were suddenly overjoyed.

  The reason they can't leave here, apart from being bound by the demonic energy, is because of these vengeful spirits. These vengeful spirits were gathered here due to the Xuan Yin Ju Xia array and cannot be freed, causing their resentment to grow stronger day by day. The power of these vengeful spirits' resentment has also strengthened the binding power of the demonic energy. Therefore, Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo have been trying to find a way to resolve these vengeful spirits, but they haven't thought of a solution yet.

  Now they see that the worm next to Yang Feng can actually swallow vengeful spirits, and they suddenly become overjoyed. Although there are countless vengeful spirits here, as long as this worm can continue to swallow them, one day it will swallow all of them clean, and by then, the binding power of the demonic energy will be greatly reduced. At that time, their chances of escaping will be even greater! Having been trapped here for over 200 years, Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo have long been eager to get out quickly!

  Yang Feng also saw the Golden Silkworm Mother devouring those vengeful spirits. Although he was still unclear how the Golden Silkworm Mother had this ability, Yang Feng and the Golden Silkworm Mother were in sync with each other's thoughts. Although they couldn't communicate, they could sense the excitement and agitation of the Golden Silkworm Mother when it saw those vengeful spirits. So, he didn't bother to stop the Golden Silkworm Mother, letting it freely devour them instead.

  The number of vengeful spirits on the road is increasing, and after continuously devouring vengeful spirits along the way, the Golden Silkworm Mother's ability to devour them seems to be strengthening as well. Originally, it had to drill into the internal organs of a vengeful spirit to devour it, but now it only needs to fly in front of the vengeful spirit, make a sniffing motion, and the vengeful spirit is completely devoured by the Golden Silkworm Mother, and the speed is also much faster than before.

  Yang Feng and the other two did not go to wait for the Golden Silkworm Mother, letting it freely devour them. The three of them continued flying forward, advancing towards the source of the demonic energy. They didn't know how long they had been flying when Yang Feng suddenly saw a light appear in front of him! This made Yang Feng extremely surprised - in this place with such thick demonic energy that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, there was actually still light!

  When the flight was in front, Yang Feng finally saw what the light was. It turned out that the light came from nine huge ice pillars, which formed a circular arrangement. In the middle of the circle was a black jade bed-like object. The demonic energy was emanating from the surface of the black jade bed, and the circular formation of the nine ice pillars was gathering the energy of the vengeful spirits, transmitting it to the center of the jade bed, causing the demonic energy to emanate endlessly!

  Yang Feng looked at the nine ice pillars emitting a brilliant light, illuminating this area with an otherworldly scene. These nine ice pillars seemed to be the key to setting up the Xuan Yin Ju Sha formation, while the black jade bed in the middle was formed by the accumulation of demonic energy over two thousand years due to the Xuan Yin Ju Sha formation. As long as these nine ice pillars were destroyed, causing the demonic energy to no longer accumulate, and then absorbing this boundless demonic energy, they could rescue Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo from their predicament.

  Those nine ice pillars emitted a strong icy aura, and both Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo were unable to get close, so they had never succeeded in destroying the Xuan Yin Ju Xi formation. They could only stand far away and sigh in admiration. However, Yang Feng was not too concerned about the icy aura. His cultivation of the Nine Yin True Classics allowed him to absorb yin energy, and the icy aura emitted by the ice pillars was just a manifestation of highly compressed yin energy. Therefore, Yang Feng could approach the nine ice pillars without any influence.

  Yang Feng let Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo stand far away and watch, while he himself walked towards the Xuan Yin Ju Sha array. Although Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo were worried about Yang Feng's safety, after all, Yang Feng was their master's grandson in their hearts. If anything happened to him, even if they escaped, they would have no way to explain it to Chi Zheng. However, having been trapped for over 20 years, their desire to escape was too strong. Moreover, Yang Feng had guaranteed that nothing would happen, so he let Yang Feng walk towards the Xuan Yin Ju Sha array alone.

  Yang Feng walked to the front of the Xuan Yin Ju Sha array, and only then did he deeply feel the chill emanating from the nine ice pillars. The threads of cold air were like sharp blades, stabbing towards Yang Feng's body, making his Wu Zong beginner body almost unable to withstand it.

  At this moment, the small Qing in Yang Feng's arms suddenly jumped out and transformed into its true form, appearing in front of Yang Feng. Yang Feng didn't show any surprise, but Zhao Kuo, who was standing far away, was startled by the sudden appearance of a 150-meter-long white giant python with a pair of blood-red wings on its back. He hadn't expected that Yang Feng had such a massive creature! Bai Qi had already known about it beforehand, so he wasn't surprised, but what Xiao Qing did next made Bai Qi's jaw drop!

  Only to see Xiao Qing transform into its true form, it directly used its massive tail to sweep past one of the nine ice pillars, with a loud crash, a burst of white light flashed on the ice pillar, and a force suddenly appeared out of thin air to contend with Xiao Qing's giant tail. However, that force seemed to be no match for Xiao Qing's size, and it was defeated in the end. The ice pillar was swept into pieces, and then Xiao Qing opened its bloody mouth and began to eat those ice blocks with relish.

  Seeing this scene, Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo were first surprised, then even more excited. Originally, they were still worried that Yang Feng didn't have enough strength to get them out of trouble. But earlier, there was the flying insect that could swallow vengeful spirits, and now this strange giant python had destroyed the Xuan Yin Ju Sai array, which was equivalent to having already rescued them halfway. As long as they could disperse the demonic energy, they would be able to completely escape!

  Xiao Qing quickly swallowed all the fragments of an entire ice pillar, then went on to smash another one and ate those fragments. After solving the nine ice pillars, Xiao Qing wrapped his body around the original circular position surrounded by the nine ice pillars, and fell asleep motionless.

  Yang Feng knew that the nine ice pillars might be a nuisance to others, but for Xiao Qing, they were a great tonic. Eating these pillars could help Xiao Qing increase his Taoist practice and quickly produce the Yao Dan, transforming into a Jiao Long. At that time, Xiao Qing's strength would have a qualitative leap, becoming Yang Feng's powerful assistant. So when he saw Xiao Qing suddenly dart out of his arms and start devouring the ice pillars, Yang Feng didn't stop him, but instead smiled as he watched from the side. Only after Xiao Qing had swallowed all nine pillars and lay down to fall asleep did Yang Feng walk over to the jade bed condensed from demonic energy.

  Yang Feng's next action shocked White Qi and Zhao Kuo, who were standing far away. They saw Yang Feng sitting cross-legged on the jade bed condensed from demonic energy, and then they saw threads of demonic energy drilling into Yang Feng's body at an increasingly fast speed. The thick demonic energy floating in the air gathered towards Yang Feng in a very short time, surrounding his figure. Then White Qi and Zhao Kuo saw small whirlpools appearing in the demonic energy, rapidly absorbing the surrounding demonic energy!

  Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo were stunned, as the demonic energy in this underground world had been suppressing and restraining their actions all along. If they hadn't resisted with their profound skills, they would have been invaded by the demonic energy and lost control of their minds long ago. Yet Yang Feng could absorb these demonic energies! No wonder he was so confident that there wouldn't be any problems and that he could definitely rescue them.

  Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo saw Yang Feng absorbing the demonic energy there, so the two of them quietly stood there, like two soldiers standing guard for Yang Feng!
