Chapter 889 A Glimmer of Hope

"Leave the venue to me." An old voice came from outside the door. Everyone looked back and saw an old man in coarse linen clothes slowly walking in with the help of Mingyue.

"Old senior!" Xuanfeng Zhenren hurriedly stepped forward to salute. This old man was the ancient immortal who lived in seclusion in the mountains. He was highly respected and his cultivation was unfathomable.

"Old senior, why are you here?" Ye Linglong asked in surprise.

"Hehe, I sensed that there was a strong demonic fluctuation here, so I came to take a look," the ancient immortal smiled kindly, "I didn't expect to see the long-lost purification rune."

The ancient immortal walked to Xuanfeng Zhenren, carefully asked about the rune and the purification ceremony, and checked the rune pattern drawn by Ye Linglong.

"Yes, this is the purification rune," the ancient immortal said affirmatively, "and I know a place suitable for the purification ceremony."

Everyone was refreshed when they heard this, as if they saw the dawn of hope.

Under the guidance of the ancient immortal, Xuanfeng Zhenren quickly organized the power of the Righteous Alliance and began to collect materials needed for the purification ceremony. These materials are extremely precious and rare, and some have even disappeared in the world, but in order to save Li Yunfei, everyone embarked on a long journey to find materials without hesitation.

At the same time, Gu Jiuchen took Ye Linglong and Mingyue, led by the ancient immortal, to the place suitable for the purification ceremony. It is a hidden valley with abundant spiritual energy and quiet environment, which is an excellent place for the purification ceremony.

Under the guidance of the ancient immortal, everyone began to build the purification site. According to the ancient formation drawings, they placed the collected materials one by one in the designated positions, and arranged layers of barriers around them to prevent interference from demonic energy.

As time passed, the construction of the purification site gradually came to an end. At this time, the team collecting materials also returned one after another, bringing back all the necessary materials.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the moment when the purification ceremony begins

In the center of the purification site, there is a white jade altar engraved with ancient runes. Li Yunfei's body lay flat on the altar, pale and lifeless. Around him, crystal clear spiritual stone pillars were arranged in specific directions, emitting soft light, shrouding the entire venue in a sacred glow.

Ye Linglong and Gu Jiuchen stood side by side beside the altar, looking solemn.

"Linglong, are you ready?" Gu Jiuchen held Ye Linglong's hand and asked in a low voice.

Ye Linglong took a deep breath and nodded, "I'm ready."

She closed her eyes, sank her mind into the sea of ​​consciousness, and tried to establish a connection with Li Yunfei's soul again. This time, she felt a faint response, like a candlelight swaying in a storm, which could go out at any time.

"Brother Yunfei, I'm Linglong, can you hear me?" Ye Linglong asked carefully, fearing that she would disturb this fragile connection.

In response to her, there was a painful groan.

"Brother Yunfei, hold on! We are trying to save you!" Ye Linglong shouted anxiously, and at the same time injected a stream of pure spiritual power into Li Yunfei's body, hoping to stabilize his soul.

Gu Jiuchen, who was standing by, also released a powerful spiritual consciousness, and cooperated with Ye Linglong to work together to pull Li Yunfei's soul back from the abyss of the forbidden technique.

As time passed, Li Yunfei's soul fluctuations gradually stabilized, no longer as violent as before, and the influence of the forbidden technique on him seemed to begin to weaken.

"Brother Yunfei, can you hear me?" Ye Linglong asked again, this time, there was a little more hope in her voice.

"Linglong" A faint voice sounded in Ye Linglong's mind, intermittently, but clearly audible.

"Brother Yunfei, you're awake!" Ye Linglong said excitedly, "Hold on for a while, the purification ceremony will start soon, and you will be fine soon!"

After Li Yunfei's response, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief on their faces.

The ancient immortal walked to the altar, formed seals with his hands, and chanted something. As he chanted, the runes on the altar lit up one by one, emitting dazzling rays of light, completely covering Li Yunfei's body.

The purification ceremony officially began!

However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, a sudden change almost made their efforts go to waste

Just when the light of the altar reached its peak and Li Yunfei's face gradually returned to its rosy color, a strong evil aura gushed out of his body like a flood that broke through the dam!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the spiritual stone pillars around the altar instantly collapsed and turned into powder. The powerful shock wave knocked everyone to the ground, and Ye Linglong groaned, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"What's going on?!" Gu Jiuchen quickly stood up, protecting Ye Linglong behind him, and stared at the changes on the altar vigilantly.

Li Yunfei's body was shaking violently, and the black air that had been gradually dissipating became even thicker, and even faintly revealed a hint of blood red, like an evil ghost from the Nine Nether Hell, which was chilling.

"Not good! The backlash of the forbidden technique has intensified!" The ancient immortal's face changed drastically and he exclaimed.

"How could this happen? Isn't the purification ceremony going on?" Mingyue looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief and asked anxiously.

"This forbidden technique is too weird, and the purification ceremony seems to have stimulated it instead!" Taoist Xuanfeng frowned and said in a deep voice, "It must be stopped as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Linglong!" Gu Jiuchen suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Linglong, with a flash of determination in his eyes, "Do you still remember the method of removing the forbidden spell you saw in the illusion?"

Ye Linglong suddenly came back to her senses. She took a deep breath, endured the severe pain in her mind, and tried to recall the scene she saw in the illusion: it was an ancient spell and a drop of heart blood!

"I remember it!" Ye Linglong gritted her teeth and said, "It requires an ancient spell and a drop of the caster's heart blood!"

"The caster?" Everyone was stunned when they heard it.

"Linglong, are you sure?" Gu Jiuchen asked solemnly, "If the caster is a demon, where can we find his heart blood?"

"I'm sure!" Ye Linglong nodded affirmatively, with a firm light flashing in her eyes, "And I know who the caster is!"

"Who is it?" Everyone asked in unison.

Ye Linglong took a deep breath and slowly uttered a name: "It's the Demon Lord, Ye Tian!"

As soon as this came out, everyone was shocked!

Who gave Ye Linglong such a bold idea? Demon Lord Ye Tian, ​​that is an existence above all demons, how can they get his heart blood?

Just as everyone was in shock, Li Yunfei on the altar suddenly let out a shrill scream, the black gas suddenly surged, completely engulfing his figure, and a suffocating breath of despair spread

Li Yunfei's shrill scream was like a sharp blade, cutting through the solemn purification ceremony. Everyone's astonished eyes focused on the altar, only to see that the black gas that was gradually fading was now surging wildly as if it was ignited by a raging fire, completely engulfing Li Yunfei's body.

"Not good!" Taoist Xuanfeng's face suddenly changed, and he waved the whisk in his hand, and a golden light shot directly at the altar, trying to suppress the violent black gas. "The purification ceremony was interrupted, and Li Yunfei's soul lost control!"

"How could this happen?" Liu Yaonian exclaimed, her eyes full of worry.

"It's Demon Lord Ye Tian!" Ye Linglong's voice trembled slightly because of fear, but she still pointed firmly at the sky above the altar, "He is the one who secretly controlled all this!"

Everyone looked up and saw a figure in a black robe with a blurred face slowly emerging from the black fog, and a cold breath swept across the valley.

"Hahaha, Gu Jiuchen, Taoist Xuanfeng, do you think you can stop me like this?" Demon Lord Ye Tian laughed sharply, "Li Yunfei's soul has been planted with a demon seed by me, and he is destined to become my puppet and be used by me!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yunfei's body suddenly floated up, his eyes were red, and he exuded a palpitating evil breath. He opened his arms, and a powerful force wave spread out with him as the center, shaking the surrounding disciples away.

"Quickly retreat!" Gu Jiuchen looked solemn, and at a command, the disciples of the Tianxian Sect quickly formed a sword formation to resist the impact of this powerful force.

"Linglong, protect yourself!" Gu Jiuchen protected Ye Linglong behind him, unsheathed his long sword, and pointed it directly at Demon Lord Ye Tian, ​​"Today, I will definitely kill you here!"

"You don't know your own strength!" Demon Lord Ye Tian snorted coldly, and the black air in his hand rolled, turning into countless sharp blades, attacking Gu Jiuchen overwhelmingly.

A war was about to break out, and the valley was filled with sword energy, demonic energy, and screams. Ye Linglong was stunned by this sudden change, but she quickly reacted. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to do her best to help Gu Jiuchen and everyone!
