The Spirit World

Chapter 88 Seeking Change
【Rastar】

"This time, the number of targets infected by the magic energy is huge, and far exceeds the rules of magic energy infection that we have previously figured out! These are the high-level magicians and psychics who are currently known to be infected." A series of terrifying images were pulled and spread out by the blue magic, with either blood or sharp teeth and claws. All the people in the images were wearing black robes, and their red eyes were shining strangely on the images. The source of magic came from a beautiful woman. Her long white hair and white wizard robes made her look so special at the head of the round table. Her voice was loud, neutral and full of feminine charm. She drew another image and said, "These are the three high-level magicians who are known to be infected by the magic energy, [Green Fire] Ruiyak, [Ten Thousand Magic Knife] Yalanti and [Frost Wizard] Moiza. The others are nameless nobodys without names, and there are even some civilians."

Three images unfolded one after another. [Green Fire] Ruiyak was holding a ball of green flame in his hand, fiercely fighting a monster with bared fangs and claws. [All-Magic Sword] Yalanti was holding an ordinary long sword and looking forward with contempt, as if looking at everyone present. And [Frost Wizard] lowered his head respectfully. These were the looks of them when they registered with the Mage Association, and they looked a bit old.

"There is no obvious connection between these three people, and they belong to different ranks. They have never even met each other!" She said, and presented a super large picture on the round table. On it was a huge Demon Sealing Well. The chain on the well was surrounded by an ancient seal. She said: "After investigation, the seals of the five Demon Sealing Wells have not loosened. This is very bad news for all the allies! Brantu! Report the situation in various places to all the elders!" She put her hands on the table, holding her chin and thinking, with a solemn expression.

A female secretary in a suit distributed all the paper documents to everyone. She bowed formally and said, "Elders, this is the information about the attacks of demonized creatures in various parts of the spiritual world." She waved her hand and a thin blue screen map appeared and continued, "The area around Wenti County in the north of the Principality, the area around Fran City in the south, and the Lastal area. The central mountains of the Elf Kingdom, the western part of the Great Forest. The area around the Sealed Demon Well in the Xiyi Netherworld Sea in the north of the empire, Fu'an City, and even the area around Dongyu Bailing Mountain in the south, as well as some areas of the Beast Kingdom, etc., have all shown varying degrees of infection from demonic energy." As she spoke, the corresponding areas on the map showed varying degrees of red, which was the scope and degree of infection from the demonic energy.

“Except for the Xiyi Netherworld Sea area around the Demon Sealed Well, other areas are basically far away from the Demon Sealed Well. It is worth noting that this is the second time that the Fu'an area has been infected by demonic energy. The scope of this infection is so wide and the impact is so great that it is completely comparable to the huge infection a hundred years ago. These areas have a certain ability to suppress the infection, so the loss is almost negligible. Not only Lastal, but other areas have also seen high-level wizards or psychics infected by demonic energy, and even some rare beasts.” Brantu said respectfully and retreated behind the woman in white robes.

"This large-scale infection of demonic energy is more like a premeditated attack. They even attacked various places in batches. Although all ended in failure, almost all high-level mages should be alert. This sudden large-scale infection of demonic energy will overturn some of the rules of demonic energy infection that we have figured out." The woman in white robe gestured with her right hand to Branto to list the rules, and one of them was [Demonic energy cannot infect high-level mages with strong mental power].

"So, this time we gathered everyone together not only to reorganize the Mage Association of Lastal, but more to uncover possible internal threats and warn everyone that those infected with demonic energy must be imprisoned. Furthermore, I will draft a secret order to probe the two Demon Sealing Wells in the Principality again. Even if the seals of the Demon Sealing Wells have not loosened, we must be vigilant! Such an abnormal demonic infection, but the Demon Sealing Wells are intact. The trick must not be underestimated!" The white-robed woman snapped her fingers with her right hand, and a secret order was divided into nine parts and passed to everyone.

"Today! I am not here to listen to any of your opinions! This is a matter of great importance. I, Alanna, will be in charge of all affairs of the Magic Association. The elders will be responsible for coming up with alternatives for detecting the Magic Well. Everything will be under my control. Next, new certifications will be distributed to all high-level mages. I hope all the elders will be notified! If anyone refuses, I will give him a reason he cannot refuse!"

【Elf Kingdom】【Autumn City】

"Alice, I'll be thanking you for the hard work that follows!" An elf with long golden hair handed a stringless bow and arrow made of tree branches to a white-haired elf girl, her eyes full of anticipation and reluctance.

"Mother! I will definitely pass the test of the Tree of All Worlds alive! Please wait for me patiently! I will definitely lead our tribe to prosperity!" The white-haired girl's face was still a little childish, but her eyes were unusually firm.

"Well...I'll wait for you to come back!"

【Dongyu Bailing Mountain】

"So, how long have I slept?" Chang Yufeng asked, with some signs of fatigue in the corners of his eyes.

"Three days... plus today... four days..." Erica wiped the sword clean. The word "Zhao" on it was very gorgeous.

"Where is Lin'er? How is she?" Chang Yufeng asked, putting his hand on his forehead. The slight headache made him feel uncomfortable.

"Sister Lin'er is much better now, but she has been called away by Grandpa, the chief steward..." Erica looked at Chang Yufeng with her eyebrows tightly furrowed: "Brother, I felt that Sister Lin'er was acting strange after she woke up. She always gave me an indescribable strange feeling..."

"How do you feel?" "It's just... it's like you've become a different person. I feel like there are a lot of secrets between you two that I don't know about! But I can't tell her in person, so I can only tell you... After all, you're my brother."

"A secret? You're overthinking it. There is no secret at all." Chang Yufeng stood up and drank a glass of water. The pile of herbs made his body fragrant, but it was not very friendly to the nose.

"Hmph, I can't do anything about it anyway. The Prime Minister will be back tomorrow, and by then I guess it'll be just you and Sister Lin'er practicing together in the Heavenly Department!" Erica put the sword into the scabbard, exhaled, and wiped the word "Zhao" on the scabbard.

"How could it be? Why? Are the celestial departments practicing separately?" Chang Yufeng looked at Erica in surprise, with a thousand questions popping up in his mind.

"Not really, it's just that Sister Xu and I are now the Prime Minister's closed disciples and will practice with him. And that half-demon boy seems to have really left and has never come back."

"gone?"

"Um……"

"No wonder, we all disliked him, so we were ignored. To be honest, we really shouldn't have been like that." Although Chang Yufeng was not sad, he still felt a little guilty. What was the difference between him and the people who ignored him in the welfare home? This was definitely not the result he wanted...

"Hey, brother, how can you be so self-deprecating? I feel like you feel as weird now that you woke up as Sister Lin'er does. That boy was at fault first, and we didn't hurt him. Even if he didn't get our forgiveness, he deserved it. We are not the kind of saints who say sorry to others after being slapped..." Erica stood up when she said this, and Chang Yufeng sat down tiredly.

"Did he deserve it? Where did you learn this? Mistakes can be forgiven, right? You can't just judge someone by one blow..." Chang Yufeng looked at Erica. His long hair looked very rough now, with a ponytail spread out on the pile of vanilla, and his hair just fluttering behind him.

The mistakes he made can still make this seemingly reborn man sweat. If his repentance is not forgiven by everyone, he should be forgiven by the people he cares about.

"I don't feel like I owe him anything anyway. It would be more reasonable for him to feel like he owes us something." Erica looked at the "Zhao" on the sword with her big eyes, put it on her waist and said, "Brother..."

Erica suddenly became serious, which scared Chang Yufeng, who was drinking water bit by bit to quench his thirst. He was stunned and asked: "What's wrong?"

He could only see Erica's tiny back. Compared to him, Erica was still a little girl, a real little girl. He himself was almost 20 years old and had often entered a more confused state. He lacked that kind of passion, or rather, his passion had long been left in Wenti County. At that time, he would be very excited because he escaped a few meters away from home when he was still a tiny baby. At that time, his mind was full of his parents whom he had never met. He was eager to find them and would ignore everything.

"I will become strong and have enough power to protect you!" Her voice was firm. Even though Chang Yufeng couldn't see that cute face, he knew that at this moment, this girl was extremely determined.
