Finally, the thing that Donglai Wen wanted to know the most right now was to figure out why Yun Zhaoxian had become a demon!

Driven by this motivation, Donglai Wen couldn’t care less about anything else.

He released his divine consciousness and scanned the ground.

Seeing this, Su Jingxing did not stand on ceremony and released his spiritual martial arts divine consciousness to search for possible abnormalities.

The two of them separated and each chose an area in Yanri Sect to search in.

Moments later, Su Jingxing’s spiritual martial arts divine consciousness suddenly touched a strange mental fluctuation.

“Here!”

Without hesitation, Su Jingxing shouted in Donglai Wen’s direction.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

The sound of rushing wind could be heard as Donglai Wen rushed over from afar.

“Where? Where? What is it?” Donglai Wen asked anxiously.

“I don’t know what it is, but it’s very strange. You should have sensed its fluctuations.” Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows and pointed at a mountain peak below. He said in a low voice, “There’s something clearly abnormal about this mountain.”

“Yingya Peak?”

Donglai Wen was stunned. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “It’s Yingya Peak, the back mountain of where Yun Zhaoxian lives! That b*stard Yun Zhaoxian really did something terrifying!”

Swoosh!

With that, Donglai Wen charged towards the ground at lightning speed and descended on Yingya Peak.

Yun Zhaoxian had killed everyone in the sect.

All Donglai Wen had for him now was resentment, so why would he still address him as Sect Master?

Swoosh!

Su Jingxing followed and descended on the mountain peak.

He continued to release his spiritual martial arts divine consciousness to scan the mountain, from the top to the foot.

Donglai Wen did the same.

Finally, the two of them entered an underground cave.

A hundred meters deep underground, there was a spacious stone chamber.

There weren’t many things in the stone chamber. There were strange patterns engraved on the ground that seemed to be an array formation or a sacrificial pattern.

Su Jingxing scanned the entire area with his spiritual martial arts divine consciousness. In a few moments, he found the location of the strange will fluctuation.

Boom!

Donglai Wen also found it after scanning. He struck a wall with his palm and created a huge hole.

Inside the cave, in another spacious stone room, a mirror that was half the height of a person, oval-shaped, and wrapped in black vines floated in the air. It was silent and motionless.

There was clearly no light in the stone chamber, but Su Jingxing and Yun Zhaoxian could clearly see the shape of the mirror and the patterns on it.

Strange patterns flashed swiftly across the seemingly smooth and bright mirror surface.

When Su Jingxing looked over, his mind buzzed from the impact of an invisible force.

A voice called out from the depths of his mind.

“Come here~ Come here~ I can satisfy all your wishes. Don’t you want to know?”

“Come here! Come here!”

Go my ass!

Su Jingxing suddenly snapped back to his senses. His spiritual martial arts divine consciousness returned and killed the tempting voice in his mind.

In his vision, Donglai Wen swayed as he walked towards the stone room, muttering about revenge.

Affected?

Shocked, Su Jingxing decisively took a few steps forward, grabbed Donglai Wen, and ran towards the entrance they came from.

“Don’t leave!”

“I was wrong, I didn’t mean to. Don’t you want me anymore…”

“Get lost!”

Su Jingxing growled and his spiritual martial arts divine consciousness swept through his mind, strangling the heretic mental power that had invaded his mind.

“Hmph!”

The seductive voice immediately changed. It said coldly, “Can you escape?”

Su Jingxing ignored it and flew quickly.

“I told you, you can’t escape!”

The cold voice in his mind intensified. A frightening mental power instantly surged into Su Jingxing’s mind.

Su Jingxing controlled his spiritual martial arts divine consciousness to resist and kill it.

A silent contest immediately began.

His spiritual martial arts divine consciousness was like a brave and skilled dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it soared in the void of his consciousness.

The evil mental power was like countless demons and devils pouncing from all directions and biting the dragon.

Su Jingxing fought mentally as he flew.

The giant dragon tore apart the monsters one by one, but more monsters pounced on it and clung onto it.

There were so many of them that it couldn’t shake them off.

“D*mn it!”

Su Jingxing cursed inwardly and quickly took out the Red Dragon reverse scale, trying to trigger the might of the dragon left on it.

Poo!

A loud dragon’s roar sounded in his mind.

A real Red Dragon phantom appeared and intercepted the demons and monsters, pouncing over to bite and devour them.

Su Jingxing took the opportunity to escape. He rushed out of the underground space with the struggling Donglai Wen and returned to the surface.

Without stopping, Su Jingxing charged into the sky and flew into the distance.

He only put away the Red Dragon reverse scale when he was far away from Yingya Peak and the heretic power in his mind had completely disappeared.

Hu!

He exhaled and calmed his breathing.

Su Jingxing sat on a rock to recover his energy.

That was close, he almost fell for it.

Yun Zhaoxian had become a demon and killed everyone in the sect. The truth, as they found, was expected.

A mirror…

A demonic mirror that came out of nowhere caused Yun Zhaoxian to lose control and become a puppet.

Donglai Wen had no way of resisting this demonic mirror. He was struck in one move.

Su Jingxing managed to hold on for a while because of his spiritual martial arts divine consciousness, but it wouldn’t be easy for him to escape.

Spiritual martial arts divine consciousness was much stronger than the divine consciousness of a Venerable in the Meditation realm of the divine martial arts system.

No wonder Yun Zhaoxian couldn’t hold on even after breaking through and turned into a Half-Demon!

Huff, huff!

“How could this be? How could this be?!”

asked the stunned Donglai Wen. He finally came back to his senses. His pale face was filled with lingering fear. He trembled and said, “What kind of mirror is that? Where did Yun Zhaoxian get it? What does he want? What the f*ck is he up to?!”

Donglai Wen growled in shock and anger.

Su Jingxing remained silent.

The corrosion of the demonic mirror was too powerful. No one knew where Yun Zhaoxian got it from.

Hold on!

Suddenly, Su Jingxing thought of something and said, “Elder Donglai, this demonic mirror was trapped in the stone chamber previously. Now that there’s a huge hole in the stone chamber, will it escape?”

“…”

He was stunned!

That’s right, the stone chamber was previously intact, so the demonic mirror could not leave.

Now that he had punched a hole in the stone chamber, would the demonic mirror still remain there?

“What… what should we do?”

At the thought of the horror, Donglai Wen stuttered, “Sh-Should we…”

“Go back?”

Su Jingxing pondered for a moment. “There’s no problem with going back, but can you restrain the demonic mirror when we get back? In any case, I can’t. Elder Donglai, can you?”

“…”

As if he could.

If it weren’t for Su Jingxing, he would have fallen and become a puppet of the demonic mirror.

“…Neither can I.” Sighing in frustration, Donglai Wen asked helplessly, “But if we don’t go back, what if the demonic mirror escapes?”

“No.”

Su Jingxing’s eyes flickered as he pondered. “This demonic mirror is a little strange. Perhaps I was wrong just now. Perhaps it has already left and escaped the underground cave, but it’s also possible that it’s still in the stone chamber.”

“What do you mean?” Donglai Wen was curious.

“Simple. This demon mirror might only have soul power and not physical mobility.

Su Jingxing analyzed, “If that’s the case, it can explain why it tried to get us to move close to it.

“After all, if the demonic mirror was really incomparably powerful and had the ability to escape, it would have already come out the moment you broke the stone wall, Elder Donglai. It wouldn’t have corroded our soul and consciousness and instructed us to move over!”

“That’s right.” Donglai Wen was enlightened. “If the demonic mirror wants to move, it needs the help of others! That’s why it corroded us and tried to control us!”

“That’s it.”

Su Jingxing clapped his hands and said excitedly, “According to this analysis, the demonic mirror is still in the stone room. It can’t leave. It doesn’t matter whether we return or not.”

“Of course, if the demonic mirror can move, it would be even more useless for us to return. Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, the demonic mirror has already escaped.”

“Well…” Donglai Wen pondered.

Seeing this, Su Jingxing chuckled and said, “Why? You only feel at ease if you want to go back and take a look, Elder Donglai?”

“Yes!”

Donglai Wen looked determined. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll be worried if I don’t take a look.”

“That works too.”

Su Jingxing nodded. “Go ahead, Elder Donglai. I’ll wait for you here.”

“…Um…”
