Chapter 238 Erasing Traces
"Boom!" Ning Xiaoxi suddenly emitted a burst of star power, suppressing the entire space and causing it to freeze. The condensed heat surged wildly into the bodies of the people who were absorbing it.
Black flames flowed from her hands, igniting two skeletons.
Irises bloom on one skeleton, vibrant and charming, while large peonies adorn another skeleton, exuding elegance and grandeur, each vying for attention.
A rich floral fragrance permeated the entire space.
Bai Yizhi, inhaling the fragrance of the flowers, wore a mesmerizing expression, as if his entire body was immersed in the aroma. From a young age, his goal had been to become a Heavenly General, sweeping away all demons and monsters. He firmly believed that humanity was the favored race, the hope that could make the world a better place. The blended fragrance seemed to give him a glimpse of a bright future, a world where only humanity stood tall, advancing bravely under the leadership of the royal family.
Ning Xiaoxi watched as the flowers bloomed, the runes dissipated, and the bones turned to dust, leaving only two white masks with spiderweb-like cracks, and a hand and a foot. She tossed the two masks into the cave, turned, and stepped into the oasis, leaving only two empty coffins in place.
Looking back, eight of the eleven people had sat down, either absorbing the residual demonic energy in the air or digesting their insights. The remaining three standing people also looked engrossed, as if they had thought of something or seen something.
Ning Xiaoxi turned her head and looked at the tree demons that seemed to be spreading all over the oasis.
The tree spirit, on the other hand, was trembling, its outstretched branches now obediently retracted and huddled together, its leaves scattered all over the ground.
Ning Xiaoxi slowly approached, her slender figure forming a stark contrast with the tree demons whose canopies filled the sky, though the tree demons didn't even dare to raise a branch.
Raise your hand and place it on the tree trunk; green light envelops the entire tree and illuminates the night sky.
When the green light disappeared, the tree spirit also vanished, leaving only a huge, deep pit.
The overflowing spiritual energy, along with the stellar energy, spread outwards from Ning Xiaoxi, sweeping across the entire oasis. Points of demonic energy rose from the lake water, only to be crushed by the stellar energy, while wisps of demonic energy drifted out from the sand at the edges, only to be dispersed by the spiritual energy.
Those demonic energies are not friendly to humans. A small amount can help with cultivation, but too much can easily disturb one's mind.
I let out a long breath, looked around, and saw a gentle breeze and a bright moon—oh, a crescent moon.
In the blink of an eye, I saw Jian Xingyun and the others standing in a row at attention. Not bad, they are all very self-disciplined and able to control their desire for external power in time.
He beckoned to Shi Tianyi with his finger.
Shi Tianyi ran over with a silly grin, "Miss Ning!"
"Let's camp here tonight," Ning Xiaoxi said, pointing to the ground.
Shi Tianyi reached out and lifted the foot-high base, even sweeping away the green grass on it.
Ning Xiaoxi took out the tent and set it up, then took out the brazier, lit a fire, hung up an earthenware pot, and started boiling water.
Jing Lei pulled Jing Lei and Bai Yizhi quickly to the brazier. "Miss Ning, thank you."
Thank you!
Thank you!
Shi Tianyi nimbly sat down next to his partner.
Jing Lei looked at Ning Xiaoxi with bright eyes, "Miss Ning, do we consider ourselves to have passed now?" All the demons had been killed. Although it was brief, he felt that he could level up as soon as he got out.
Ning Xiaoxi leaned against the sand pile. "We'll go out tomorrow morning."
Jing Lei and his companions were overjoyed. They had originally planned to eliminate the demons before Ning Xiaoxi arrived, determined to fight to the death rather than be looked down upon by her. But who knew that the Blood Shadow Demoness was so powerful? At that point, they had no chance of winning. Hehe, thankfully, Miss Ning appeared right on time.
"Miss Ning." Jian Xingyun and the others also arrived. "We owe a great debt to Miss Ning this time. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact us." At this point, no one thought Ning Xiaoxi was stirring up trouble. If she had that kind of ability, why would she need to stir up trouble? That's a joke!
Ning Xiaoxi glanced at them and smiled, "This trial was too difficult. The fact that we were able to get out safely means that all our hard training was worthwhile."
Jian Xingzhi blinked, glanced at his brother, then at Jing Lei and the others, and said cautiously, "Miss Ning, we've cooperated well this time. You help gather information, and we'll be responsible for setting traps and launching attacks?"
Ning Xiaoxi sat up and poured Jian Xingzhi a bowl of water. "Thank you for your hard work!"
Jian Xingzhi was flattered and accepted the bowl of water, saying, "Yes, it's my pleasure."
Shi Tianyi raised a small platform next to Ning Xiaoxi so that she could place her water bowl on it.
Bai Yizhi moved closer to Ning Xiaoxi. "Miss, we'd like to take those two coffins back to study them. They seem a bit unusual."
"The coffin is made of sea pine, a hard and heat-resistant wood that is at least a thousand years old, making it a rare and excellent material. The two corpses that were originally inside were pseudo-Nüba, formed by eating the flesh and blood of Nüba. They are afraid of fire, and only purple flames or higher can be effective against them. Ordinary fire is just to enhance their attributes."
Jing Lei and Jing Lei exchanged a glance, then turned their palms outward, revealing two fireballs in their palms, one deep red and the other fiery red, not yet meeting the standard for purple flames.
Jian Xingyun stretched out his hand, and a deep purple fireball burned in his palm. Jing Lei and Jing Lei were somewhat jealous; they also wanted purple flames.
Ning Xiaoxi tossed a black box to Shi Tianyi, saying, "The Blood Shadow Demoness's soul weapon still contains remnants of living souls. Sending them away is a good deed."
Shi Tianyi was somewhat stunned. Merit? He turned to look at Bai Yizhi, who shook his head. The Jing brothers also shook their heads.
"It is the duty of a Celestial Master to exorcise demons and save lives, which will accumulate merit. This thing is invisible and intangible, but it will benefit your future cultivation and advancement." Ning Xiaoxi turned a demon core in her hand, which was shimmering with golden light. "Do you see this golden light? It carries merit."
All eyes were focused on the demon core. Can demons also accumulate merit?
"Even if this pill has merit, it doesn't mean it's good. The conflict between humans and demons is in their nature. Just remember to fulfill your duties as a Celestial Master." Ning Xiaoxi put away the demon core. "I'm sure you've all gained a lot from this trial, and so have I. Let's all reflect on it tonight!"
Everyone looked at Ning Xiaoxi, who had closed her eyes, and then quietly turned around and quickly went to find places to cultivate.
The Nine Domains in the cave rarely opened one eye, looking at the golden demon core floating in front of it, and then opened its mouth and inhaled it into its stomach.
Inside the Lingyuan Hut, all was quiet; this time, not even the sound of snoring could be heard.
The tree spirit's enormous body stood beside the dragon mine, its outstretched branches obscuring most of the dragon's body, leaving only its hind legs and long tail exposed.
Ning Xiaoxi examined the tree demon. It was of a certain level and had sufficient demonic power, but it had not yet taken human form and did not have a demon core. It only had a tree heart. This thing could be considered a mutation, right?
