Chapter 389: Chapter 218: Vajra Demon Suppression Bell_2 Although there are risks in retrieving the Demon Suppression Scroll, there is still a chance of survival. Consuming the Hundred Poison Intestine-breaking Pill is different—it’s certain death! Compared to that, it’s more reliable to go for the Demon Suppression Scroll. Kang Tai raised his eyebrow: "Not resting now? Don’t be polite with your senior brother; this pill is on me, no charge." The man immediately took two steps back and waved his hand urgently: "No, no! Brother Kang, please wait here; I’ll go get that scroll right away!" With that, he rushed towards the Demon Suppression Scroll, terrified that if he were slow, Kang Tai would force the pill on him. When he reached the scroll, the disciple of the Thousand Poison Sect looked nervous, hesitating to reach out. Impatiently, Kang Tai called from behind, "Are you still unwell? How about I help you with some treatment?" Hearing this, the man’s face tensed, and he took a deep breath, furrowed his brow, and closed his eyes: "Damn it! Either way I die, might as well fight!" He reached out and grabbed the scroll. Kang Tai and the others stared at him intensely, their legs taut with power, ready to bolt at the slightest hint of danger. After several breaths, the Thousand Poison Sect disciple holding the scroll heard no other movement and dared to open his eyes. At this moment, the Demon Suppression Scroll was dim and lackluster, resembling a book made from ordinary gold leaf. The Thousand Poison Sect disciple was instantly delighted and ran towards Kang Tai and the others with the scroll in hand. Just as he took his first steps, before having run a few meters, a pale golden barrier suddenly rose at the edge of the Four Symbols Demon Suppression Array, while the ruins of the Demon Suppression Sect began to shake violently. This tremor was far more intense than when the Four Symbols Demon Suppression Array had been activated earlier, causing the other palaces of the Demon Suppression Sect to shake violently and collapse one after another. As the barrier ascended, a great deal of pitch-black qi began to emerge from the ruins of the Demon Suppression Sect. Endless black qi surged from underground, and before long, it formed a vast black cloud in the sky. With the appearance of the black cloud, an extremely evil, violent aura emanated from it, causing the members of the Thousand Poison Sect and Gu Sheng to feel agitated, with an inexplicable strong desire to kill. Gu Sheng silently cursed the situation, hurriedly swallowing two pills to stabilize his mind, and then frantically activated the Snake Breath Skill to defend against the negative influence brought by the black cloud. At this moment, Gu Sheng’s brow was deeply furrowed, with Zhao Honglie’s image flashing through his mind. Back in Canghe County, Gu Sheng had hidden in the shadows and witnessed Zhao Honglie’s transformation firsthand. Back then, Zhao Honglie had been surrounded by black qi, which felt exactly like this black cloud! "Could there be a connection between the two?" Gu Sheng quietly moved to the edge of the entrance, ready to flee at any moment. The black cloud rapidly expanded, about to cover the entire sky of the Demon Suppression Sect, but the black qi was thoroughly blocked when it touched the newly risen barrier, and as they contacted, a sizzling sound was heard, and thick smoke billowed. The person inside the barrier, seeing this scene, was instantly terrified. He quickly ran to the edge of the barrier, trying to escape. However, since the barrier could block even the strange black qi, it certainly wasn’t something a mere Golden Bone Realm cultivator could break through, no matter how hard he tried. The black qi couldn’t penetrate the barrier, so it immediately attached itself to that person. Enveloped by the black qi, the person let out a blood-curdling scream, sending chills down Kang Tai and the others’ spines. In just a few minutes, the black qi receded, leaving behind a perfectly clean skeleton. "Hiss!" Seeing this, Kang Tai and the others took a deep breath, and Kang Tai felt secretly relieved he hadn’t rashly gone to grab the scroll, or it would be him dead now! As the black qi invaded, the previously dim scroll once again emitted a dazzling golden light. The scroll scattered waves of golden light to contend with the black qi. When the golden light fell onto the black qi, the black qi retreated quickly; however, the golden light cast by the scroll was limited, and after avoiding the scroll’s coverage area, the black qi swiftly eroded other parts of the Demon Suppression Sect. Seeing how strange the black qi was, the core disciples of the Thousand Poison Sect felt afraid. Lan Liu approached, advising earnestly, "Brother Kang, we should flee quickly! We don’t know how long the barrier can hold, and the black qi is truly bizarre. If we wait to escape until the barrier shatters, it might be too late!" Kang Tai wore a grim expression and stayed silent. Wu Gui’s task for him was to bring back the Demon Suppression Scroll, promising him generous rewards including a direct promotion to the Marrow Refining Realm and a reward of a hundred spirit stones, enough for him to cultivate for a long time. Coincidentally, the task from Lord Zhao was also to destroy the Four Symbols Demon Suppression Array and retrieve the scroll, with the promise to help him fully activate his demon seed upon completion. After witnessing the effect of the demon seed, Kang Tai endlessly yearned for it. Under the temptation of dual rewards, he was reluctant to give up. "Buzz!" Just as the black qi was about to engulf the Demon Suppression Sect ruins, a fractured mountain peak suddenly exploded, and a golden bell soared into the sky. The bell let out a deep sound, releasing visible sound waves. Under the effect of the sound waves, the strangely malevolent black qi was swiftly suppressed, and the black cloud was gradually forced downwards. The bell’s sound grew louder, with brilliant golden light emanating from it, and mysterious runes emerged from heaven and earth, while bursts of Sanskrit chants suddenly filled everyone’s ears. These chants seemed to hold miraculous power, dispelling the negative impact of the black qi from the people of the Thousand Poison Sect and Gu Sheng, leaving them with a warm, comfortable sensation. As the sound intensified, although the bell didn’t grow larger, the golden light on it became increasingly dense, and more and more golden runes appeared between heaven and earth. Under the combined effect of the golden light and runes, Kang Tai noticed the entrance behind them was gradually expanding, and the spatial barrier was rapidly weakening. Meanwhile, the Red Cloud Secret Territory suddenly echoed with a loud bell, and a dazzling golden light emerged from the northwest direction, spreading an overwhelmingly majestic, divine aura throughout the entire territory. "Hmm? What is that? This aura is so powerful!" Everyone in the Red Cloud Secret Territory paused and turned towards the direction of the Demon Suppression Sect. Five hundred miles away, Lu Shu had just emerged from a small sect ruin. Lu Shu, being powerful, naturally controlled some information and access keys to small sect ruins within the Red Cloud Prefecture. She had just acquired several hundred spirit stones and some remarkable treasure fragments from one such ruin. Although the treasure fragments were severely damaged, they still held significant value within the Red Cloud Prefecture. They could be used for forging treasures or for study by the artifact refiners of her own faction. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖 These treasure pieces were originally of a Dark Level or higher existence; if the artifact refiners of her faction could gain insight from them, they might become more advanced artifact refiners in the future. Lu Shu thought she had made enough profit on this trip and planned to casually search for some spirit stones for the remaining time. However, upon exiting the ruin, she saw a distant golden light and heard the bell sound. Climbing to a high point, Lu Shu gazed towards the Demon Suppression Sect’s direction. The distance was too great for her to discern any details; she could only see a mass of dazzling golden light and sense a very special aura. "This commotion, could it be that a high-level treasure or pill has appeared?" Lu Shu pondered in her mind. Previously in the Red Cloud Secret Territory, similar occurrences had happened, and without exception, the things that caused such huge disturbances were always valuable. After closing her eyes to sense carefully, Lu Shu smiled and said, "I’m really lucky. I can’t believe that in my last participation in the Red Cloud Secret Territory, I encountered such a good thing! This aura is extraordinary, perhaps it’s something not mundane. If I take it back, it might help my father take the final step! I must go see!" After securing her belongings, Lu Shu sprinted towards the direction of the Demon Suppression Sect. A thousand miles away, Lin Tianhao also stood at a high point, gazing towards the direction of the Demon Suppression Sect.
