After responding to Luo Chen, Ling Yue prepared to leap out of the seawater.
However, at the same time Luo Chen heard Ling Yue's words, the wolf demon also rushed towards Ling Yue's direction at high speed.
When he sensed the dense demonic aura rushing towards him, Ling Yue's expression changed slightly. He suddenly drew his longsword and swung it behind him.
"clang"
A crisp clanging sound rang out instantly, and a powerful recoil force erupted directly from the sword. Ling Yue lost his balance and flew backward.
Upon seeing this scene, a cruel glint flashed in the wolf demon's eyes, and a cold light flashed on the tip of his finger as he swiftly grabbed towards Ling Yue's chest.
"call out!"
A golden light swiftly lashed out at the wolf demon's palm, and the wolf demon's expression changed as it dodged to the side.
Chapter Ninety-Seven Ganquan Village
Seeing the wolf demon quickly dodge to the side, Ling Yue suddenly thrust his long sword swiftly in the direction the wolf demon had disappeared.
"Hmph, how dare a junior lay a hand on me!"
A strong killing intent flashed in the wolf demon's eyes, and its hand reached down to grab the flying longsword without any hesitation.
"clang!"
A crisp clanging sound rang out instantly, and the wolf demon suddenly turned its hand, trying to snatch the long sword from Ling Yue's palm.
At this moment, Luo Chen's figure quickly flew to Ling Yue's side, and a powerful palm force condensed in his palm, which he directly grabbed the sword hilt.
As Luo Chen swung his arm, a powerful pulling force instantly erupted from the longsword, pulling the wolf demon's body rapidly toward him!
Upon seeing this, a look of panic flashed in the wolf demon's eyes. He hurriedly released his hand from the longsword and dodged to the side.
However, the moment the wolf demon had this thought, the palm force gathered in Luo Chen's palm instantly struck the wolf demon's chest.
"boom!"
The wolf demon's body flew backward rapidly, and its blood-red demon core was spat out from its mouth, shooting towards the sea surface.
"How dare you run?!"
Luo Chen snorted coldly, his figure transforming into a golden light as he quickly followed the direction in which the demon core had flown away.
"Come here!"
Luo Chen roared, and a powerful suction force suddenly erupted from his palm, causing the speed of the demon core that was rushing out to be temporarily slowed down.
"Humph!"
A powerful pressure emanated from Luo Chen's body, and the demon core that had been struggling fiercely immediately quieted down.
"Elder, what should we do with this demon core?!"
After glancing at the wolf demon's core, Ling Yue thoughtfully asked Luo Chen.
"Although this wolf demon's core is a demonic object, the spiritual energy it contains is indeed very abundant. I will remove the malevolent energy from the wolf demon's core and refine it into a spiritual energy pill!"
Luo Chen shouted to Ling Yue, then suddenly waved his hand, and the demon core quickly entered Luo Chen's body.
Seeing this, Ling Yue felt embarrassed to say anything more, so he turned to the abbot of Tiezhu Temple and said:
"Master, now that the matter of the wolf demon has been resolved, I should return to report to my sect!"
"Won't the esteemed immortals stay at the temple for a few more days?"
"No need, we have other important matters to attend to, so we won't bother you any longer!"
After smiling and saying something to the abbot of Tiezhu Temple, Luo Chen parted ways with Ling Yue and flew off towards Jiangdu.
""
At this moment, when Luo Chen arrived at the Flower Pavilion, Feng Qingxue hurriedly ran towards him and said:
"Master, the baleful aura within Baili Tusu's body has been steadily increasing these past few days for some unknown reason, and we haven't been able to discover any cause for it!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen quickly walked towards Baili Tusu's room, and from afar he could hear Baili Tusu's painful screams.
"Ah, kill me! I can't control the murderous aura within me anymore!"
At this moment, Luo Chen flashed to Baili Tusu's side, and a dense demonic aura emanated from Baili Tusu's body.
"It seems that someone injected demonic energy into Tu Su's body while I was away, thereby stimulating the evil energy within him!"
"Master, what should we do now?" Feng Qingxue asked Luo Chen in confusion.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen gradually fell silent, his mind racing as he pondered fragments of his memories.
"Let's go! We're going to Ganquan Village."
At this moment, in a village nestled in the mountains, Luo Chen and his companions gradually came into view.
When Luo Chen and the others arrived in front of a wooden house at the entrance of the village, Luo Chen stopped.
Looking at the simply dressed man before him, who exuded a scholarly air, Luo Chen asked with a puzzled expression:
"Are you Luo Yunping?"
Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, the man raised his head in confusion and looked at Luo Chen's face.
"you are?"
"My name is Luo Chen. I've come here to find the thousand-year-old flesh spirit mushroom to save a friend's life!"
"Oh? I wonder what illness your friend has? May I take a look?" Luo Yunping said to Luo Chen with a hint of concern on his face.
At this moment, Luo Chen had Baili Tusu, who had already woken up, walk to Luo Yunping's side.
His gaze turned toward Baili Tusu, and his previously relaxed brows furrowed instantly, his face filled with deep thought.
"Is your friend carrying malevolent energy?!"
"Not only that, there's also a trace of demonic energy!"
"Well! It seems we have no choice but to try the thousand-year-old flesh spirit mushroom. You can stay here for the night. Tomorrow, I will take you to find the flesh spirit mushroom."
"All right."
Luo Yunping nodded, then cleaned up a few of the vacant rooms and temporarily housed Luo Chen and the others there.
"By the way, Brother Luo Chen, if you don't have anything to do at night, please don't go out and wander around. This is at the foot of the mountain, and there are often some wild beasts around. For your safety, please heed my advice."
Knowing Luo Yunping's intentions, Luo Chen smiled and nodded after hearing Luo Yunping's words, and said to Luo Yunping in a friendly manner:
"Thank you!"
"Brother Luo Chen, you all rest first. I still have a few patients. I'll come back and properly greet you all after I've finished seeing them!"
After saying something apologetically to Luo Chen and the others, Luo Yunping slowly withdrew from the room.
"Elder, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I sensed a trace of demonic energy on his body just now!"
Upon hearing Baili Tusu's words, Luo Chen nodded slightly and said to Baili Tusu:
"Your feeling is right, he is indeed a demon, but he is a good demon! If there's nothing else, you all should rest. I'm going out for a walk!"
Luo Chen addressed the crowd and then walked towards Luo Yunping.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Luo Chen, who was walking over, spoke to Luo Yunping with a kind expression.
"No need, I can manage on my own. You are our guests, please go and rest!" Luo Yunping said with a smile.
At this moment, although Luo Yunping had already said that no help was needed, Luo Chen still walked towards one of the patients. After glancing at the person, a stream of spiritual energy directly entered the patient's body.
Chapter Ninety-Eight Jade Horizontal
A faint golden light filled the patient's body, and when Luo Yunping, who was standing to the side, sensed the abnormality, a strange look appeared in his eyes.
"Okay, I'm all better! I don't feel bad anymore!"
The patient, who had been deathly pale, suddenly regained his rosy complexion as the golden light dimmed. He stood up from the stone bench, beaming with joy, and shouted happily.
"Friend, I never expected you to be so amazing! You were able to use your own spiritual power to expel the virus from the patient's body!"
Luo Yunping stood up and smiled as he spoke to Luo Chen.
"It's nothing serious, just some little tricks. I hope it can help you," Luo Chen replied.
"Thank you very much!"
After bowing to Luo Chen, Luo Yunping walked over to the other patients.
As the patient's figure gradually disappeared into the courtyard, Luo Yunping, looking exhausted, walked towards Luo Chen and asked him with a meaningful look:
"Brother Luo Chen, are you really here for the thousand-year-old flesh spirit mushroom?"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
At this moment, Luo Yunping took a deep breath and slowly looked up at the sky, saying:
"Although Brother Luo Chen did indeed bring friends full of murderous aura, I sense in my heart that Brother Luo Chen seems to have something else on his mind. Could you tell me about it?"
"It seems you are indeed intelligent; it's no wonder you cultivated yourself into a human!" Luo Chen said calmly.
Although Luo Chen spoke these words very lightly, when Luo Yunping heard them, they were like a bombshell.
At this moment, Luo Yunping's expression kept changing, and he said to Luo Chen with shock in his eyes:
"Who exactly are you? I had clearly concealed my demonic aura, so why did you still sense it?"
"Don't worry, there's no need to be so nervous. I don't mean anything by it. I know you're kind-hearted, so I won't talk to you for too long," Luo Chen said with a smile.
Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Luo Yunping's tense expression finally relaxed slightly.
"So what exactly is your purpose?"
"My other purpose in coming here this time is to obtain the Jade Pendant!"
"How did you know I had a fragment of the Jade Pendant on me?!"
Luo Yunping, who had just relaxed, tensed up again, staring intently at Luo Chen in front of him, and asked warily.
"I ask you, besides the fragments of the Jade Pendant, what other magical treasures could conceal demonic energy from being detected?"
At this moment, Luo Yunping's face was full of hesitation, and the two of them fell silent in place.
"boom"
Just then, a loud noise came from the mountains nearby. Luo Yunping's expression changed and he hurriedly rushed towards the back of the mountain.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen no longer hesitated and quickly followed.
When Luo Chen followed Luo Yunping to a cave, two enormous tree demons appeared before them.
"Roar"
The roars echoed continuously in the cave, and the thick vines lashed against the surrounding stone walls, producing several loud thuds.
"These two tree spirits are my adoptive parents, and they were originally human. It's all my fault! If I hadn't been greedy and wanted to use the jade pendant to help them live to a ripe old age, they wouldn't have been infected by the jade pendant and turned into demons!"
As he spoke, Luo Yunping's face was filled with the pain of crying, and he knelt on the ground and wailed loudly.
"They have now transformed into demons, and their existence in the world will only bring harm to humanity. I suppose all the water in this village has been absorbed by them!" Luo Chen said calmly.
"That's right. They were just absorbing nutrients from the ground, but lately they've started eating animals, but there are no animals left in the village for them to eat! What should I do? What should I do!"
Luo Yunping looked ahead sadly as several thick vines lashed out at his face!
At this moment, Luo Yunping's eyes remained completely still as the attacks came at him.
Upon seeing this, a golden light flashed rapidly in Luo Yunping's eyes, and several violent impacts rang out beside him.
"bang bang"
Debris flew everywhere in an instant, and Luo Yunping sadly questioned Luo Chen:
Why won't you let me die?!
"They've lost consciousness. How can you let them grow like this? How can you face the villagers who have been helping you all this time? Do your parents really want to see themselves like this?" Luo Chen coldly rebuked Luo Yunping.
Startled by Luo Chen's shout, Luo Yunping gradually calmed down and slowly looked at the faces of the two tree demons.
"Father, Mother, I'm so sorry!"
After saying a sad word to the person ahead, Luo Yunping quickly flew towards the two tree demons.
"Roar"
