In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

Just then, the cocoon of light on the jade platform suddenly began to vibrate violently. The runes on the surface of the cocoon lit up instantly, then quickly dimmed, as if resisting the impact from within.

Master Yunlan was shocked. He immediately opened his eyes, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, and he silently chanted an incantation. Streams of spiritual light flew from his hands, landing on the cocoon of light, attempting to reinforce the seal. "Stay calm, you must stay calm!" he whispered, veins bulging on his forehead as he continuously channeled spiritual energy into the cocoon of light.

This time, however, the tremor was more intense than ever before. Tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the cocoon of light, from which black demonic energy seeped out, carrying a pungent, fishy odor. Master Yunlan's face grew paler and paler; he could sense that the power within the cocoon of light had exceeded his control.

"Not good!" Master Yunlan's expression changed drastically. He exerted all his spiritual power in an attempt to stabilize the seal. His sleeves billowed with spiritual power, and the air around him became scorching hot. But the cocoon of light vibrated more and more violently, and the cracks grew larger and larger. Black demonic energy surged out from the cracks like a tide.

But it was too late.

"Snap—"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the cocoon of light shattered completely. Su Han suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils turning completely deep purple, demonic runes crawling all over his body, spreading from his neck to his fingertips, and two demonic horns on his forehead twisting menacingly, gleaming with a cold light.

"Roar--!"

He roared to the sky, his voice hoarse and violent, and demonic energy surged into the heavens, instantly breaking through the roof of the stone palace and soaring into the clouds. The black demonic energy gathered in mid-air, forming a huge demonic cloud that covered half of the sky.

Above Bright Moon Peak, demonic clouds rolled in, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder. Black lightning crackled and hissed within the clouds, and the air was thick with suffocating demonic energy. The entire Azure Cloud Sect was alarmed, and countless disciples and elders took to the skies, staring in shock in the direction of Bright Moon Peak.

"That's... demonic energy!" A young disciple's face turned pale, and his voice trembled. He gripped his longsword tightly, and his body involuntarily took a step back.

“Bright Moon Peak? How could there be demonic energy in Martial Aunt Yuehua’s cave?” Another elder frowned, his eyes full of doubt. Fairy Yuehua was a well-known righteous disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect, with profound cultivation and a firm mind. How could she be associated with demonic energy?

"Could it be that Su Han isn't dead?" someone whispered, their tone filled with disbelief. Back then, when Su Han was afflicted with the Chaos Demon Seed, everyone thought he was doomed. Fairy Yuehua risked her life to go to the Burial Abyss to find an antidote, clinging to a sliver of hope.

Inside the stone hall, Master Yunlan was forced back by the demonic energy, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth. Looking at the irrational Su Han before him, his heart was filled with despair. "Su Han, wake up! It's Senior Brother Yunlan!" he shouted, trying to rouse Su Han's consciousness.

Su Han did not respond. He lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, from which black blood seeped. Demonic energy surged around his body, forming black waves that enveloped the entire stone hall.

Suddenly, Su Han looked up sharply, his deep purple pupils devoid of any reason, filled only with a ferocious killing intent. He charged towards Master Yunlan with lightning speed, his fist imbued with dense demonic energy, aiming straight for Master Yunlan's chest.

Master Yunlan was startled and immediately dodged to the side. The fist grazed his shoulder and struck the jade platform behind him. With a deafening crash, the jade platform shattered instantly, sending shards of stone flying. "Su Han, wake up!" Master Yunlan continued to call out as he dodged. He knew that Su Han was currently controlled by the demonic seed and couldn't hear anything. But he didn't want to hurt Su Han, so he could only keep dodging, looking for an opportunity to awaken him.

Su Han's attacks grew increasingly ferocious, each punch carrying earth-shattering power. The tables, chairs, and ornaments in the stone hall were shattered, and the walls were covered with cracks. Yunlan Zhenren's spiritual energy was being depleted more and more, and several wounds had appeared on his body. The wounds were being corroded by demonic energy, causing waves of stinging pain.

"This can't go on any longer!" Master Yunlan thought to himself. He knew that if he couldn't find a way to awaken Su Han, not only would Su Han completely fall into the demonic path, but the entire Qingyun Sect might also be destroyed by him.

He abruptly stopped, his hands forming a complex hand seal as he silently chanted an incantation. "Azure Cloud Seal, activate!" he roared, his body radiating a burst of spiritual light as a massive shield of light flew from his hands, enveloping Su Han within it.

The light barrier was covered with dense runes, radiating a holy light that contrasted sharply with the demonic energy emanating from Su Han. Su Han struggled frantically within the barrier, his fists pounding against it with dull thuds. The barrier trembled violently, and the light from the runes grew dimmer and dimmer.

"Hold on, Su Han! Martial Aunt Yuehua will be back soon!" True Person Yunlan gritted his teeth, doing his best to maintain the light barrier. His face grew paler and paler, his spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and blood kept gushing from the corner of his mouth.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps echoed in the sky. Master Xuan Yang of the Qingyun Sect, accompanied by several Nascent Soul stage elders, swiftly flew to the sky above the stone hall of Mingyue Peak. Upon seeing the scene within the stone hall, Master Xuan Yang's expression changed drastically.

"Sect Master Xuan Yang!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Yun Lan Zhenren's eyes when she saw Xuan Yang Zhenren. "Su Han has been controlled by the demonic seed, and I can't hold on much longer!"

Master Xuan Yang remained silent. He leaped down and landed in the stone hall, his gaze fixed intently on Su Han within the light barrier. He could sense that the demonic energy emanating from Su Han was extremely powerful, exceeding the scope of a Foundation Establishment cultivator and even surpassing some Golden Core cultivators.

"The Chaos Demon Seed truly lives up to its name," Xuan Yang Zhenren said in a low voice, his eyes filled with solemnity. He raised his hand and waved it, and several beams of spiritual light flew out from his hand, landing on the light barrier to help Yun Lan Zhenren strengthen the seal.

"Sect Master, what should we do now?" an elder asked. He looked at Su Han, who was struggling frantically inside the light barrier, his heart filled with worry. If left unchecked, the consequences would be unimaginable if Su Han broke through the seal.

"Keep him calm and wait for Fairy Yuehua to return," said True Man Xuanyang. "Fairy Yuehua went to the Burial Abyss to find the Chaos Green Lotus and should be back soon. Only the Chaos Green Lotus can completely purify the demonic seed within him."

Just then, the light barrier suddenly began to shake violently, and a black crack appeared on it. Su Han's power was growing stronger and stronger, and the light barrier was about to collapse.

"Not good! The light barrier is about to break!" Master Yunlan exclaimed, his spiritual power surging again as he tried to repair the cracks in the light barrier. But Su Han's attacks grew more and more fierce, the cracks widened, and black demonic energy poured out from the cracks, constantly eroding the light barrier.

Master Xuan Yang's expression darkened. He knew that he and Master Yun Lan alone were no longer enough to stabilize Su Han. He turned to the elders behind him and said, "Elders, let's work together to reinforce the seal!" (End of Chapter)
