Chapter 161 Aftermath
"Come one by one, everyone, all of you must go through the exorcism array."
In the Wu family mortal village under Longtan Mountain, several Wu family monks brought the mortals gathered here to a magic array that had been prepared in advance.
This exorcism array can expel some of the demonic energy in the mortals' bodies that is parasitic on the demon cultivators. After the magic array cleanses the demonic energy in their bodies, and they take some low-level exorcism talisman water, the demonic energy in these people will be completely expelled in one or two months at most.
But this low-level exorcism array is useless for the monks parasitized by the demon cultivators, just like Wu Zitong, who was controlled the earliest. If you want to remove the restrictions set by Gu Liangshan in his body, either the person who set the restrictions will take the initiative to help him remove them, or you can only completely kill the demon cultivator who set the restrictions, and then you may be free.
It is still unknown whether any of the remaining Wu family cultivators have been manipulated by the demon cultivators. To find out whether there are still people parasitized by the demon cultivators, only the foundation-building cultivators can do it. Song Changfeng and others can only gather them in a hall first.
The reason why Gu Liangshan's group of demon cultivators targeted the Wu family was because the third elder of the Wu family was accidentally captured by them when he was out on a mission a few years ago. After learning that this person was an elder of the nearby Wu family, Gu Liangshan let the long line catch the big fish and bewitched the elder of the Wu family to practice the magic technique before releasing him back to the Wu family.
Then, taking advantage of the Wu family's lax management of the mortals below, a group of people disguised themselves as ordinary mortals and mixed into the villages and towns below. In the past few years, they have secretly sacrificed many Wu family mortals and controlled several Wu family cultivators, including the guard Wu Zitong. Almost all of Longtan Mountain has been completely controlled by these demon cultivators.
If it weren't for the fact that one of the demon cultivators thought the essence and blood of these ordinary mortals were too poor and targeted the acquired martial artists that the Wu family valued more, which aroused the suspicion of a law enforcement elder of the Wu family, it is estimated that the Wu family would still be kept in the dark. In a few years, as long as they control most of the Wu family cultivators, all the cultivators and mortals of the entire Wu family will definitely not escape the fate of the entire family being sacrificed by the demon cultivators.
After returning to Longtan Mountain, Song Qingming personally checked the remaining Wu family cultivators one by one, and was relieved to confirm that there were no cultivators. After arranging these things, Lu Yuanfeng, who had received Song Qingming's request for help, also rushed to Longtan Mountain.
"I'm really sorry, fellow Daoist Lu. This time, I seem to have tried a little bit. I wasted a lot of effort and only caught a few mice in the Qi Refining Stage. The demon Yang Wuqi is not nearby. I'm sorry for making a wasted trip." Seeing Lu Yuanfeng rushing to him anxiously, Song Qingming hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to apologize.
After listening to this, Lu Yuanfeng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Fellow Daoist Song, don't be so polite. Since this is related to Yang Wuqi, the scourge of this sect, I have to come here anyway. I wonder if you have left any survivors. I will see if I can find some traces of that demon."
Song Qingming nodded and waved to Song Changfeng beside him.
After a while, Gu Liangshan and another captured demon cultivator were brought up.
After Lu Yuanfeng stepped forward to check on the two, a second-level talisman suddenly appeared in his hand, and he slapped it on Gu Liangshan's forehead. After he recited a spell, a thick black gas suddenly emerged from Gu Liangshan's body and sank into the talisman attached to his head.
Seeing that the talisman had been stained with a wisp of black gas, Lu Yuanfeng immediately took it off.
"This is made by the sect, the soul-chasing talisman, which can stick a trace of the demon soul of high-level demon cultivators from these low-level demon cultivators. With this, as long as I am no more than ten thousand miles away from this talisman, we can find his exact location within a month." Seeing that everyone at the scene was a little curious, Lu Yuanfeng hurriedly explained.
The trace of demon soul on Gu Liangshan was parasitic on them by Yang Wuqi in order to control them. Once they dared to rebel, as long as the demon soul restriction in their bodies was triggered, they could be killed instantly. These are all common methods used by high-level demon cultivators to control their subordinates.
However, this method will also leave some hidden dangers. Once the demon cultivator with the demon soul restriction is captured, if I do not destroy these demon souls in time, the opponent can use the tracking talisman such as the "soul-chasing talisman" to find my location in a short time. This is also the reason why Chen Xuanxin was able to accurately block Yang Wuqi when he was tracking him in Weiguo.
However, a second-level talisman like the Soul Chasing Talisman, which is worth two hundred spirit stones, is not something that ordinary people can use casually. If it weren't for the purpose of hunting down Yang Wuqi, the demon wanted by the sect, Lu Yuanfeng would not be willing to take it out easily.
"Looking at the direction of the demon soul in the talisman, Yang Wuqi, the demon, should be hiding in Pingyang County not far to the north. Without further delay, I will go back to inform the sect and send people to help us completely eliminate this disaster."
After Lu Yuanfeng finished speaking and discussed with Song Qingming, he returned to Qinghefang first. Song Qingming had to stay to deal with the aftermath of the Wu family and could not go back until one day later.
The carelessness of the Wu family cultivators this time led to the infiltration of demon cultivators, and the entire family almost suffered a catastrophe. Such a thing happened under the rule of the Song family, which also made the Song family very vigilant.
After practicing the magic skills, most cultivators will find it difficult to control their inner desires, especially the greed for the power of the skills. It is precisely because of this that these demon cultivators will sacrifice the lives of the cultivation world in order to take shortcuts and obtain some power from the upper world demon gods. Once this desire is opened and contacts the upper world demon gods, it is difficult to turn back.
As long as they are given a few years, these demon cultivators can completely destroy a first-level Qi refining family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. If they are allowed to sacrifice too many cultivators, they may breed a foundation-building demon, and then the nearby immortal cultivation families will definitely suffer. When thinking of such consequences, the cultivators of each family are also very scared.
In addition to severely reprimanding the Wu family cultivators, Song Qingming also reminded the other vassal families that in the future, each family must strengthen its own patrol force to prevent things like the Wu family from happening.
Just as Song Qingming was reprimanding the Wu family cultivators, in a dark cave on a deep mountain in Pingyang County, thousands of miles away, a somewhat skinny old man suddenly opened a pair of strange blue eyes.
"What a bunch of useless things, they can't even handle such a small matter."
The old man muttered to himself and took out a black talisman. Then a stream of black ghost fire suddenly surged out of his hand, burning the talisman completely.
