Chapter 534 Chaos arose
Ying Xue's white robes surged, but she was pinned to the spot by thousands of green lotus roots that shimmered with a bluish light.
His pupils contracted.
He was shocked to realize that those seemingly fragile threads, which looked so delicate they would break at the slightest touch, had somehow already pierced through his muscles and bones, taking root and sprouting deep within his spiritual veins.
Ying Xue had no time to think. He quickly activated his magic incantation and shouted, "Break!"
Spiritual energy surrounded him, transforming into sharp, gleaming blades that frantically slashed at the tenacious lotus roots.
But in the instant these roots trembled and broke, it seemed that his soul also emitted a trembling lament.
It was that burning sensation that came from the depths of one's soul, a sensation so familiar that even a different body couldn't shake it off.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Yici's sword pierced through the air and arrived.
The flames were stinging my face.
No pain, no life!
He cannot touch the fire in Yun Yici's hands.
Between crushing the jade key in his palm with his last bit of strength and struggling to break free from his restraints.
Ying Xue decisively chose to break free from these strange threads with all her might!
However, for Yun Yici, this brief opportunity was enough.
The last sparks of fire reflected from the tenacious roots of the blue lotus flashed through their eyes.
The moment I realized I had been tainted by the phoenix fire.
Without hesitation, Ying Xue took advantage of the pull of the lotus root fibers and tightened her arm in the opposite direction of the twisting force.
A chilling sound of bones cracking came from beneath his sleeve.
The next moment, as he exerted his strength, blood gushed out, staining the countless roots of the lotus that ran through his body red.
Ying Xue's clothes were completely stained red.
Nevertheless, staggering, his first reaction was still to quickly retreat and increase the distance between himself and Yun Yici.
Yun Yici had achieved his goal. Before his severed arm was consumed by the phoenix fire and turned to ashes, he snatched the jade key from his hand.
Honglian, who witnessed the whole thing, was still in shock: "You... you actually managed to get Qinglian to take action."
Just for a while?
Moreover, these threads that look like lotus root silk are actually the root systems of countless lotus flowers in the lotus pond outside...
Ying Xue's lotus root fibers were not completely severed.
The moment he moved, his roots connected with him, and countless lotus flowers in the lotus pond outside swayed helplessly.
The strange phenomena in the lotus pond caused the illusion to begin to collapse.
Ying Xue was bleeding from both sides of her body. With her remaining arm, she pulled out a large medicine from her waist, bit open the bottle cap with her teeth, and casually put the pills inside into her mouth.
After doing all this, he casually tossed the pill bottle aside, his face ashen, his eyes coldly fixed on Yun Yici.
"Sect Leader Yun has finally figured it out."
Yun Yici had already wiped the blood off the jade key and put it into her storage bag.
"Different road non-phase plan."
"You may appear to be wearing a human skin, but you are actually cultivating the demonic path."
"Although Senior Shen may seem like a demon, he has always adhered to the righteous path of humanity."
"That's the fundamental difference between you two. How can you compare to him?"
Ying Xuewu suddenly laughed: "Who do you think you are, daring to lecture me?"
"Why is it that humans can ascend to the Great Dao, but I cannot?"
"If I successfully ascend one day, what does my background matter? The rules of this world are made by the strong."
"Today I've fallen into your hands, but you won't get away either."
He scoffed coldly, flicked his fingers, and the storage bag at his waist suddenly opened, flashing with an eerie black light.
A thick, dark mass of demonic energy surged forth, only to suddenly disperse, revealing thousands upon thousands of distorted human faces.
The faces were folded and partially obscured; only upon close inspection could one discern that they were faces on the thin wings of demonic moths.
Its wings alone are the size of a human face, not to mention the bloodthirsty body of the demon moth, which is terrifying and ferocious.
The demonic moth frantically bit at the roots of the blue lotus, instantly polluting the entire lotus heart and dimming its bright red light.
Honglian roared in fury, "You're asking for death!"
Enraged, she activated the divine soul imprint on Ying Xuewu's body, only to see him give a strange smile.
"As long as you swallow the green lotus, not only will the fire poison in your body be nothing to fear, but ascension will also be just around the corner."
"I have finally found the real blue lotus."
Yun Yici immediately activated her hairpin, intending to use fire to attack the moths hovering around Ying Xuewu, but was stopped by Honglian.
"The essence of the Azure Lotus is wood, and it cannot withstand your external fire."
Yun Yici realized what was happening, put away the hairpin, and summoned Huaichuan, saying decisively, "Then let's make a big scene!"
Honglian hadn't forgotten her initial purpose in summoning Yunyi to resign, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, they can only run away if things get chaotic and disorderly.
The most urgent thing right now is not to kill Ying Xuewu, but to get rid of this trouble!
That's it, she's already exposed her whereabouts, there's no turning back now.
Honglian gritted her teeth, sat cross-legged, and cast a spell. The entire Azure Lotus Illusion resonated and trembled in response.
The lotus heart, hidden deep within the blue lotus, is finally beginning to reveal itself today.
The elders, who were isolated in various places to participate in the trials, looked in astonishment at the sudden appearance of a sky full of red light.
Qu Jianrou was lucky; she was assigned to the same place as her junior brother.
"Senior sister, look at these lights!"
Qu Jianrou's eyesight has returned to normal, and she can see again.
Not only that, she also saw wisps of black energy twisting within the red light.
Just like what she saw in Shen Huaichuan that day.
"Sect Leader Yun is right, there really is a demon in the Lotus Pond, and he has already infiltrated the trial!"
"Let's go! Let's hurry and help exorcise the demon!"
Outside the illusion, in the lotus pond, large numbers of lotus flowers are dying one after another.
The strange phenomena at the lotus pond and Qu Jianrou's affirmative words made Langhuan and the others completely uneasy.
They watched as Ying Xue was taken away by Hong Lian, never expecting the problem to be so serious.
Unexpectedly, after a short while, the lotus flowers in the pond began to drift erratically in the water, and then large swaths of them withered.
"Fellow Daoist Langhuan, don't wait any longer. Before, you could say you were worried that forcibly breaking through would harm Qinglian, but if you don't act now, Qinglian will be in grave danger!"
"We don't even know when Ying Xuewu was possessed by the demons; we didn't even notice."
After a moment's consideration, Langhuan finally nodded.
"Alright, but the Lotus Shadow Imprisonment must not be broken."
“Ying Xue Wu Huan is nothing to fear. I will go in alone, and you can guard the prison outside.”
Yao Chi was unaware that Yun Yi Ci had already obtained the jade key and was still concerned about their previous agreement.
She followed Langhuan: "I'll go with you. Headmaster Yun and my two disciples are still inside."
Langhuan said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to, but the Azure Lotus Illusion is born from the Lotus Shadow, and the Lotus Shadow is the Dharma form of the Azure Lotus."
"It naturally rejects us, and every time it opens, it needs our support from the outside."
As Langhuan spoke, she forcibly opened the entrance to the illusion again.
Honglian had anticipated this, and when the illusion opened to the outside world, she once again shifted the focus to her lotus heart!
Langhuan was still explaining to Yaochi when, to her utter surprise, a swarm of ghost-faced moths roared out the moment the void cracked open!
