Chapter 323: Evil spirit cannot lead people to be possessed by evil, but obsession can.

When he came to his senses, it was already midnight. The yin energy was strong, and Zhou Xiaohuan began to slowly activate the formation.

Murong Ji hurried over, squatted aside, and observed carefully.

In a trance, Murong Ji looked around and saw thousands of ghosts gathered around, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

After the catastrophe, all living things died, and of course there were many wandering ghosts left behind.

Unconsciously, the space around the formation became somewhat illusory and extremely dark. That feeling was extremely familiar to him.

Turning his head, he looked at Lu Xueqi. The two looked at each other and thought of the same place, the Dead Abyss!
Murong Ji looked at Zhou Xiaohuan, who was carefully searching for the soul of the Wild Dog Taoist.

As time went by, his face became paler and paler, and the life force in his body was constantly being consumed by the Yin energy.

The numerous evil spirits that were surrounding them were gathering more and more, staring at them intently. For them, this matter of summoning the souls back to life was truly an opportunity.

Suddenly, countless evil spirits rushed towards Xiao Huan, constantly swirling around her, some howling like ghosts and wolves, some begging, some threatening and tempting, some forcing her fiercely...

The suffering, evil, and grudges in this world are endless, and Zhou Xiaohuan is troubled and shaken.

"Get out!" Murong Ji shouted angrily, and the invisible force instantly shattered the evil spirit.

Many ghosts gathered around them again, looking at them viciously.

Murong Ji sneered and slapped them casually, directly dispersing them.

"Zheng!"

Lu Xueqi suddenly unsheathed the Tianya sword, frowned and stared at the direction behind her. In the endless darkness there, it seemed that something was surging.

Murong Ji's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw something surging in the endless dark space.

Without thinking any more, he directly summoned the Ghost Seal and fell in that direction.

In the darkness, it exploded and dissipated into nothingness.

Murong Ji turned his head to look at Zhou Xiaohuan. She had already found the soul of the Wild Dog Taoist and was guiding it into her body with her right hand.

"Is there really an underworld in this world?" Lu Xueqi murmured to herself. Murong Ji didn't know how to explain it. They had all been to the Abyss of the Dead.

I will never admit my mistake!

There were bursts of wailing coming from behind. The Wild Dog Taoist had been resurrected, which completely cut off their thoughts. Murong Ji was so upset that he turned around and threw the Ghost Seal over.

It fell beside Zhou Xiaohuan, and in an instant, the world was silent.

The darkness slowly receded, revealing the original color of the earth, and the stars in the sky were still bright.

Lu Xueqi was still on guard and turned to look to the left, where three people appeared: Zhang Xiaofan, Bi Yao and Mr. Ghost.

Murong Ji ignored them and watched the Wild Dog Taoist carefully. He watched him exhale a breath of foul air and actually come back to life.

Murong Ji's eyes widened. Soul-collecting formation?! This formation is quite powerful!

Looking at Zhou Xiaohuan, she had fainted. Murong Ji checked her physical condition and after making sure she was fine, he fed her another pill.

After thinking about it, he stuffed the ghost seal into her hand.

Then, he sat down at Lu Xueqi's feet and looked at Bi Yao and the others: "I say, Cai Ye Zi, what are you doing in Southern Xinjiang?"

Bi Yao gritted her teeth and looked at Murong Ji viciously, "You are the vegetable leaf! Your whole family is vegetable leaves!"

He pulled Zhang Xiaofan and walked towards the depths of the jungle.

Murong Ji reached out and grabbed Lu Xueqi's belt, using the force to stand up. Ignoring Lu Xueqi's expression that was about to go berserk, he patted his butt and said, "Let's go."

He flew up on his sword and chased after Xiao Yicai and his men's defense line.

Lu Xueqi looked back at Zhou Xiaohuan, frowned slightly, and chased after her on her sword.

When he reached a high altitude, he saw Murong Ji looking down at the endless bonfire light below, which almost illuminated the entire official road, stretching for thousands of miles, like a fire dragon.

Those people were from various righteous sects, escorting people heading south to return home.

What will happen to the aristocratic sects? Murong Ji killed eight people in Yuqing Palace, which has already shown the attitude of the three major sects.

At this time, if anyone dares to make them uncomfortable, they will make the aristocratic family uncomfortable.

"What is good? What is evil? A great catastrophe, shouldn't the distinction be clear?"

Lu Xueqi didn't know what Murong Ji was looking at, so she didn't say anything.

Murong Ji took out the box given by Fashang, and after opening it, there was a pitch-black bead inside.

After thinking for a while, he pulled Lu Xueqi into the jungle.

After activating the beads, a faint Buddha light flickered inside.

"What's this?"

Lu Xueqi was a little surprised. The evil spirit sealed inside was so strong!

Murong Ji suddenly laughed and said, "The Heavenly Book! The fourth Heavenly Book!" After saying that, Murong Ji directly broke the ban of Tianyin Temple.

The next moment, a rolling evil spirit attacked, and Murong Ji directly pinched a few seals to seal the evil spirit back again. Suddenly, a golden light flashed inside the jade bead, and in an instant, lines of text emerged from the jade bead.

Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs!
This seems to be a photo, the words in it are all reversed!
After coming to their senses, the two of them did not chase after Xiao Yicai and the others. Instead, they gathered around a fire, heated up some dry food and water, and ate them with the pickled meat.

"Why do you look at that little girl differently?"

Murong Ji looked up at Lu Xueqi. His cold face showed no emotion. He raised his mouth slightly. Lu Xueqi was very concerned...

"Ahem, this little girl has a mysterious origin and is extremely talented in witchcraft. Zhou Yixian is a descendant of the physiognomist lineage left by the ancestor Qingyunzi, so please help..."

"that's it?"

"What else can we do?"

Lu Xueqi didn't say anything, frowned slightly, and continued to eat the food in her hand.

"There is actually another reason." Seeing Lu Xueqi looking over, Murong Ji continued, "The Dead Abyss has a big secret! If there really is reincarnation, I suspect that she is the reincarnation of the witch Linglong!"

Lu Xueqi was stunned. This idea was really... outrageous!
Death and disappearance, is that just talk?
After a long silence, Lu Xueqi suddenly said, "You are so promiscuous. I am really worried that one day you will become possessed by a demon."

Murong Ji's mouth twitched. How could this make him feel like a scumbag? "Ahem, I won't be possessed by a demon."

“How come you see?”

"Everyone has a wrong perception that evil spirits are the reason why people become possessed. But that's not the case! I told you that Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao Fa is a skill that can be used for both spiritual and evil purposes."

"The evil spirit only magnifies the desires in your heart. I think the evil spirit is actually a way to understand yourself clearly."

"Desire is not evil, obsession is. Obsession makes people stubborn and lose their mind. We have done it so many times, but you and I have not turned into sex maniacs."

Lu Xueqi rolled her eyes, but her cold face became more charming.

"The reason why one is possessed by demons is because of the inner demons caused by obsession. Well, isn't it written in the Book of Heaven? Take the way of ghosts for example. If you see through the nature of ghosts and spirits, that's it."

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Murong Ji suddenly remembered something. He took out a copied copy of the Diamond Sutra and handed it over.

"Diamond Sutra" is the best at defeating demons. After thinking about it, he handed over the "Lotus Sutra".

Lu Xueqi was shocked. This was neither a martial art nor a technique. It was just a simple explanation, just like the "Tao Te Ching" or "The Analects of Confucius".

They are all so precious to Murong Ji.

It was almost dawn when the two of them got up and chased after Xiao Yicai. When the sun came out and they were having breakfast, they reunited with the main group.

After traveling for a few days, we saw Canglian Mountain.

The group did not stay for long and would reach Fenxiang Valley today. In order to have a good sleep at night, they all worked harder. Near the afternoon, they saw Li Xun.

Yan Hong came with him to welcome these righteous people.

Murong Ji glanced at the people in front of him who were greeting each other, ignored them, turned around and looked at the people who came to greet him, feeling a little surprised.

There are many familiar faces among them, all of whom were the people who taught him the Quanzhen Taoism.

Looking up, I saw that the entire Fensheng Pass was almost gone, with only a ruined city wall left. Soon, I followed the large army into Fenxiang Valley and looked around.

Many facilities have been damaged, but the stone road under your feet has been repaved and repaired.

The Mountain and River Hall and the Mysterious Fire Altar on both sides have been destroyed and are being rebuilt.

In front of the Death Pass, there are a large number of monster corpses piled up, stretching for thousands of miles. It is roughly estimated that the number may be 200,000 to 300,000.

Thanks to the Xuanhuo Formation, many monsters were killed.

Murong Ji sucked in a breath of cold air. He had to admit that the designs of Fenxiang Valley really played a big role.

The breeze blew, and waves of rancid smells came, accompanied by waves of fishy smells, which were very disgusting. Among the corpses of those monsters, the ordinary monsters had already begun to rot.

Looking around, he saw many people cleaning up the battlefield, and the cultivation method he left behind seemed to have been adopted by countless people.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly. This time, Fenxiang Valley had lost both its prestige and personnel. It would probably be difficult to restore it to its previous state.

He just didn't believe that the noble families in southern Xinjiang would let go of this opportunity to surpass others.

Murong Ji withdrew his gaze, but his eyes were still on Yan Hong. He thought of Yan Hong again. It was really a bit... He didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

His face darkened slightly, and he followed everyone else to assign rooms.

After dinner and washing up, he sneaked into Lu Xueqi's room.

The next morning, Murong Ji said goodbye to Xiao Yicai and left Fenxiang Valley alone. Not long after he went, he found someone chasing him.

Turning around, he saw Lu Xueqi's gloomy face. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Xueqi, I'm going to do it..."

"You want to abandon me again?"

What else could they say? The two of them flew towards the depths of the Shiwan Mountains together.

Tianshui Village and Qilidong were extremely desolate along the way. There was hardly a human figure to be seen. It was almost as if the place was bathed in blood.

The situation in Qilidong was relatively better, as many cultivators returned with Fenxiang Valley.
