511: Chapter 21 Bloodthirsty Bead

After hearing the difficulties explained by Mysterious Dao, Universal Wisdom fell silent. A moment later, he said, "Sect Head Mysterious Dao's words are reasonable."

Having said that, he looked at Zhang Xiaofan beside him and asked, "Xiaofan, do you want to go to Tianyin Pavilion to practice, or join the Qingyun Sect?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Xiaofan said without hesitation, "I won't go to either!"

Universal Wisdom was stunned.

However, Zhang Xiaofan said with bloodshot eyes, "I saw you were injured and kindly brought you medicine. In the end, for that bullshit immortality, you feigned teaching me a Cultivation Technique, warned me not to tell anyone, and treated me like a pawn. Then, to achieve your goal, you even killed my parents and many fellow villagers!"

"If the three Immortal Masters hadn't happened to pass by and stop you, everyone in the village would have been slaughtered by you!"

"And I would still be kept in the dark, foolishly thinking you were a good person and keeping your secret."

"How is this any different from treating a thief as a father?"

"I had no grievance or enmity with you, yet you harmed me so much just to reach your goal!"

"You are not my Master; you are my enemy!"

Then, he pointed at Green Pine nearby. "He only hunted you down to seize a visible treasure. But you, for an invisible goal, wanted to kill the people of an entire village and even manipulated me like a fool."

"You are a thousand times, ten thousand times more vicious and malicious than him!"

"You are no Great Master at all; you are a madman!"

"A madman who stops at nothing and is devoid of all conscience to achieve his goals!"

"Even if I die, I will not join an enemy's School, let alone continue helping a madman like you seek some Way of Immortality!"

"Take your dream of immortality to the grave!"

After finishing his words, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes were already covered in a red light. He picked up a stone and charged at Universal Wisdom like a bull seeing a red cloth.

Universal Wisdom, Mysterious Dao, Tian Buyi, and the others were instantly startled.

Green Pine even cried out, "It's the blood-devouring pearl!"

Tian Buyi and Water Moon True Person were about to act to restrain Zhang Xiaofan, but before they could, a runic light rope flew over and bound him.

Subsequently, Meng Li flashed to the front of Zhang Xiaofan and retrieved the glowing red blood-devouring pearl from his robes.

Even with the blood-devouring pearl gone, the red light in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes did not disappear, clearly because his hatred was deeply influenced by the pearl.

Meng Li sighed, formed a sword finger with his right hand, and channeled his magic power to perform the Purification of the Heart Mantra.

"Highest Heavenly Stars, responding without pause."

"Expel evil and bind demons, protect life and the body."

"Wisdom clear and pure, mind and spirit at peace."

"The three souls eternal, the seven spirits never lost."

After the incantation was finished, he tapped the concentrated Heart Cleansing spiritual light at his fingertip into the center of Zhang Xiaofan's brow.

The spiritual light entered the brain through the brow, purifying the blood-devouring Evil Qi.

The red light in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes quickly receded, and he regained clarity.

Seeing this, Meng Li withdrew the Kunxian Symbol and stepped aside.

Tian Buyi looked over in surprise. "Old Seventh, these methods of yours?"

Meng Li smiled faintly. "When this Disciple went down the mountain for training this time, besides finding spiritual materials to refine a Magic Treasure, I also had some fortuitous encounters."

"This Kunxian Symbol and the Purification of the Heart Mantra originated from there."

"As for the specific details, this Disciple will explain in depth after returning to the Sect."

Tian Buyi nodded and said no more.

Mysterious Dao, Green Pine, and Water Moon True Person also remained silent.

It was true that the Qingyun Sect was strict regarding Cultivation Techniques, but they did not restrict Disciples to only practicing the Sect's own techniques and methods. As long as they weren't Demonic Path evil arts and the source of the techniques was legitimate, members were allowed to have some extra methods.

After all, the cultivation method of the Qingyun Ancestral Master was also obtained by chance, which was a fortuitous encounter.

The reason Zhang Xiaofan was subjected to a severe interrogation after being exposed was that the Tianyin technique originated from Tianyin Pavilion.

If not handled properly, this matter could lead to enmity between the two Sects, and Zhang Xiaofan, due to Universal Wisdom's instructions, refused to say who taught him.

Furthermore, there was the blood-devouring pearl, which was an unequivocally ominous and evil object.

The main reason Universal Wisdom slaughtered Caomiao Village was the evil thoughts born in his own heart, but it was also due to the influence of the blood-devouring pearl.

The zhu xian sword of the Qingyun Sect was just like the blood-devouring pearl; both could influence a person's mind.

Setting aside the positions of righteous and demonic, Mysterious Dao's generation had personally experienced the incident where Tian Chengzi fell into demonic madness because of the zhu xian sword and went on a killing spree. Because of this, Wan Jianyi had to kill his own Master. With such a precedent, it would be strange if they weren't repulsed by and strict about such things.

Thus, Mysterious Dao and the others instantly looked at the blood-devouring pearl in Meng Li's hand, only to see that it was no longer flashing with red light as before.

Meng Li did the same.

He sensed it for a moment and found that this thing was somewhat difficult to handle.

Because its material was very hard, and at the same time, it contained a lot of negative energy such as Evil Qi, wicked energy, and resentment. If he were to destroy it directly, the effort required was one thing, but the negative energy escaping would also easily cause trouble.

If he kept it for his own use, it wouldn't benefit him much and would also draw unnecessary suspicion.

Therefore, Meng Li simply took out a treasure box with isolation effects from his storage ring, placed the pearl inside, and then handed it to Tian Buyi. "Master, this Disciple does not know how to handle this item. Please, you, Senior Martial Uncle, and Junior Martial Uncle decide."

Tian Buyi took the treasure box and looked at Mysterious Dao.

Mysterious Dao pondered for a moment and said, "Take it back to Qingyun and let Junior Brother Zeng Seal it away."

The Junior Brother Zeng he spoke of was the Peak Master of Feng Hui Peak, Zeng Shuchang, who was most skilled in the methods of Seal and Restriction.

Tian Buyi nodded and put the treasure box into his storage ring.

Seeing that both Meng Li and Tian Buyi had storage Magic Treasures, Mysterious Dao, Green Pine, and Water Moon True Person couldn't help but feel a bit surprised, but they didn't ask further.

Because after a moment of buffer, Zhang Xiaofan had already come back to his senses...
