Chapter 200: Evil Purification Bead Appears
“As for the part of refining pills, leave it to the elder of the Alchemist a.s.sociation to be in charge. Elder Yan, since you are quite clear about the City Lord’s situation, you will be in charge of this matter.”
Everyone did not object to He Qingyuan’s order. Actually, logically speaking, he should be the one to refine the pills. This way, the chances of success would be even higher.
Yan Hua could not help but say, “But president, we are not completely confident about the pill. If it were you –”
He Qingyuan seemed to know what he was going to say. He shook his head and said,
“No, although refining the purification pill is important, because the City Lord has already absorbed a lot of evil energy and filth, we must purify him to let the medicinal effect play out. Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be wasted.”
Other than him, the Vice City Lord and a few other elders were the only ones who were able to get close to the City Lord, if it were anyone else, they would either be easily eroded by the evil energy, causing even more chaos, or they wouldn’t be able to get close at all. Then, they would be unintentionally heavily injured by the City Lord.
After thinking about it, they were the only ones. Moreover, He Qingyuan had the sect’s purification technique, and he had also obtained a magic treasure from the Alchemist a.s.sociation. It was the most suitable thing to suppress these evil beings, so it could only be them.
The group started to get busy. However, Yan Hua and the others were left alone by He Qingyuan.
“When we split up, we must be informed of everything. If there are any unusual movements, we must make contact immediately. Even if we can only purify a handful of the foul air, your pill will still be effective.”
Yan Hua was a little worried. “But what if we can’t refine it?”
It was unknown what He Qingyuan had thought of, but his expression was gloomy and unpredictable. “Unless it’s absolutely necessary, we can only use that method.”
Yan Hua’s eyelids could not help but Twitch. He looked at He Qingyuan’s gloomy and unclear expression and said in shock, “But that method is really against the heavens. Moreover, we… how can we do such a thing?”
He Qingyuan revealed a bitter smile, “Elder Yan, do you think that I want to? I will not let you do such a thing unless we are in a desperate situation. However, compared to the entire City Lord’s Estate, a mere dozen lives are nothing. Moreover, this involves the safety of a portion of the people in the capital.”
“You must remember that if the situation is not right, then sacrifice those people underground. It is better than all of us being wiped out.”
After finis.h.i.+ng his last sentence, He Qingyuan had already walked far away. Looking at his departing back, Yan Hua was caught in a dilemma. He had thought of there being such a day, but he had not expected it to be so soon. There was still a faint hope in his heart, perhaps there was another way.
If Lin Bai was here, he would definitely be shocked by their conversation.
No wonder the people of the City Lord’s Estate would make such contradictory actions. Not only did they bring them to such a dangerous and unpredictable place like the underground, they also protected them and restricted their freedom. So this was their plan!
Firstly, it was convenient to use them as sacrifices in the future so that they would not be unable to find anyone. After all, the candidates had been prepared and their movements could be restricted at any time.
Yan Hua sighed faintly. He could only do his best and leave everything to fate. “I hope things won’t go to such a bad stage.”
Although they were all cultivators, the path of cultivation naturally had many ups and downs. Life and death were common occurrences. Regardless of whether it was the people around them or anything else, they had seen too much. However, they were not insane evil cultivators.
How could they just watch those dozens of people sacrifice themselves and remain indifferent? The few elders beside Yan Hua also sighed.
At this moment, He Qingyuan led a few other elders with great cultivations under Ren Zeyuan’s lead and headed underground.
“President He, are you confident this time?”
Just as they reached the entrance of the pa.s.sageway, He Qingyuan could already feel a thick wave of evil aura blowing against his face. He had already felt it when he had just stepped into the City Lord’s Estate. It was as if the entire manor was shrouded in a thick gloom.
Even though there was a formation blocking them outside, now that the seal was loosened and cracks had appeared on the formation, even people with strong spiritual senses could sense it. Now that he had just arrived at the entrance of the pa.s.sageway, the feeling he felt was even stronger.
He Qingyuan shook his head. “I’m not 100% sure. Although I’ve obtained the evil purification bead from the Alchemist a.s.sociation, even if there’s still a purification technique, I’m not sure if it can completely remove this evil qi.”
Ren Zeyuan’s eyes flashed when he heard the words ‘evil purification bead’. “Is it the bead that can cleanse all the filth in the world?”
He Qingyuan nodded. “The evil purification bead absorbs the essence of the Sun and moon in the world. It has a natural suppression and purification effect on the evil qi.”
He Qingyuan did not know if it was his imagination, but his chest was slightly warm. That was where the evil purification bead was placed. He lowered his head and did not notice the change in Ren Zeyuan’s expression. He looked up and returned to normal.
“With the evil purification bead in hand, together with you and the few of us, it should not be a problem to expel at least half of the evil Qi in the City Lord’s body.”
He Qingyuan frowned, then revealed a bitter smile. “That’s hard to say. After all, the City Lord’s situation is too serious now.”
It was not that He Qingyuan did not want to come earlier, but it would take some time for the evil purification bead to be used. Moreover, he had spent a great deal of effort to obtain the purification technique and the corresponding array formation. His goal was to achieve the best effect.
Even though he had spent a great deal of effort, it was still a little too late. Fortunately, things had not reached the worst state, or else even these things would not be of any use..
