So she ran back secretly, and not long after she came back, the sect protection formation was activated.
Then she saw an explosion in the distance and a stream of purple light spreading from afar.
Those purple lights looked like light, but they contained some kind of chaotic energy, which was very evil.
If she were still outside, she would probably be swallowed up by this power in no time and die without a burial place.
Not long after, she heard someone scolding her again.
There were all kinds of insults, but in a nutshell, people despised and despised her.
She immediately understood the current situation in the sect.
The sect protection formation is about to collapse and needs to replenish spiritual power.
She felt that her spiritual power might not be able to fill this hole, so she thought of a better option.
That is to open the sect's treasury, which contains mountains of spirit stones.
She is now the sect leader, and the key to the sect's treasure house is in her possession.
She did it as soon as she thought of it, and the next moment she turned into a stream of light and flew towards the sect's treasury.
All the disciples guarding the treasury have disappeared. They must have gone to supply spiritual power to the sect protection formation.
This is better, so that those disciples won’t give her any more glances.
She felt that she was a very incompetent sect leader. Many people were dissatisfied with her, not only the elders, but also the disciples who talked about her in private.
But it doesn't matter anymore, she doesn't want to be the sect leader now.
Let them talk if they want to.
Qi Honglian successfully took out a large amount of spirit stones from the treasure house.
As a sect, they also have some industries, such as spiritual mineral veins, alchemy and weapon refining business, and some other female cultivator supplies, which are all sources of income for the sect.
These spirit stones in the treasury are usually used as monthly salaries within the sect, and even the sect leader cannot use them at will.
But the situation is critical now. If the sect is destroyed, what’s the point of keeping these things?
……
"Spirit stones, the spirit stones are here." Qi Honglian brought the spirit stones to various formation nodes and distributed them to the elders stationed there.
With the addition of these spirit stones, the attitudes of the elders and disciples towards her improved a lot. At least they smiled at her.
But I wonder if they would still be able to smile if they knew that these spirit stones would be their future monthly salary.
As a result, even after consuming a large amount of spirit stones, it was still not enough, and the purple energy outside showed no signs of receding.
Amidst everyone's nervous expressions, Qi Honglian had no choice but to go to the treasure house again.
Just now, a quarter of the spirit stones in the treasury have been burned, which is an astronomical amount of wealth.
The second time she took the spirit stones, she took twice as many as last time. If this wave of spirit stones were all used up, the sect would be on the verge of bankruptcy.
This time when she came out of the treasure house, she made an unexpected discovery.
When she flew out from here, she was able to see what was happening over there in Youchi.
Below the Youchi Pond, there is a place called the Cold Prison where those who have committed serious crimes within the sect are imprisoned.
When the former Young Master Sun Yanrong was in power, she had imprisoned her senior sister Nangong Ruyun there. According to her senior sister, it was a white hell, not a place for human beings.
At this moment, she unexpectedly saw a black-robed figure standing by the dark pond. The figure threw an unknown talisman into the dark pond, and the water in the dark pond began to churn.
The water in the dark pool is icy cold, and ordinary people cannot stay in it for long.
As the pool surged, a large black mist emerged from it. The black mist gradually condensed into a pitch-black monster, which seemed to be talking to the black-robed man.
Then the black shadow monster disappeared into the body of the man in black robe.
This was definitely not a good thing, but Qi Honglian didn't have time to care about that person. The sect protection formation was more important and there was no time to waste.
With the addition of the second batch of spirit stones, the sect protection formation finally stabilized, and the cracks on it gradually recovered and then were completed.
The purple light stream gradually weakened and eventually dissipated.
After a while, the elders made sure that everything was fine and then turned off the sect protection formation.
……
Zhao Kangping crawled out from a pile of mud. He looked at Aunt Yun who was standing in front of him and was almost burned to charcoal. All her hair was burnt off.
However, she was at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm and had a strong life force. Even in such a place like the center of a nuclear explosion, she was only seriously injured and her life was not in danger.
Looking at Aunt Yun, who was in such a miserable state and looked unrecognizable, he was not afraid at all.
Logically speaking, she is so ugly now that anyone would be scared when seeing her.
But at this moment, he felt only a pain in his heart. He wanted to touch Aunt Yun's bloody face, but was afraid of hurting her. In the end, he raised his hand but did not put it down, but retracted it.
He remembered that he still had some healing elixirs in his storage ring, which could be used for Aunt Yun.
In fact, at this time, he himself was also seriously injured. However, he practiced the Thunder Casting Body Refining Method. As long as his soul was not destroyed, even if his body was destroyed, he could regenerate flesh and blood and revive with full health.
The flesh on his hands was visibly healing, and with trembling hands he pulled a bottle of elixir from his storage ring. This was from the spoils of a certain Saint Son, called the Nine-Transformation Great Rejuvenation Pill, and it was said to be able to bring the dead back to life.
It also has a powerful effect on cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage. A single Nine-Transformation Great Rejuvenation Pill can fetch tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones at auction, and it's still incredibly rare. Because refining it is extremely complex and its production is limited, it's incredibly valuable.
He didn't care how expensive the pill was or how much it could fetch. He only cared about whether it could save Aunt Yun.
Without hesitation, she poured out one and put it into Aunt Yun's mouth.
The pill melted in the mouth and soon turned into a warm current and entered the fairy's stomach.
However, at this moment, a dark shadow enveloped the two of them.
Zhao Kangping's hair stood on end as he felt a terrifying aura that made his heart palpitate.
When he looked up, he saw a terrifying black face...
Chapter 419: Nangong Ruyun's Sin
It was a black skull face, eerie and terrifying.
The gigantic skeletal figure stood about two feet tall, with long arms, broad palms, and sharp claws. It lacked a lower body, but rather a mass of ethereal black mist.
What the hell is that and how did it get in?
Uh, the Extreme Ice and Frost Sky Formation should have been shattered in the nuclear explosion just now, and even the formation plate was destroyed.
Damn, only used it once, could have been recycled.
"Hehehe, Nangong Ruyun, you really deserve to die, die now."
The unknown ghost could actually speak, its voice shrill and hoarse, like an old, leaky bellows. If you listened carefully, you would find that its voice was like a mixture of multiple women's voices, extremely noisy and very eerie.
Zhao Kangping felt a very dangerous aura from the ghost. Its hostility and resentment made people shudder.
If such an evil ghost is left alone, it will be easy to destroy the Xianyun Sect.
But now it seems to have set its sights on Aunt Nangong.
Although Aunt Yun had taken the Nine-Turn Great Rejuvenation Pill, she was still unconscious at this time and had no power to resist.
This ghost obviously had bad intentions, and Zhao Kangping immediately became alert.
He wouldn't say things like, "If you want to hurt Aunt Yun, step over my dead body first." He thought such talk was a bit stupid. But he would take action to protect Aunt Yun.
The aura of this ghost had actually reached the half-step refining realm. The pressure it put on Zhao Kangping made him a little breathless.
It seemed to completely ignore Zhao Kangping, as he was also seriously injured. Even at the peak of his eighth-level Spiritualization cultivation, he wouldn't necessarily be a match for it, let alone now that he was covered in wounds and bruises, making him even less of a threat.
So the dark ghost slapped Nangong Ruyun with its claws. The ghost claws were full of resentful ghost energy. They looked fragile but carried the terrifying power of death.
Its resentful ghost energy gathers a huge amount of negative energy and contains the resentment of countless dead people.
Even though it was the first time Zhao Kangping saw this ghost, he could feel the overwhelming hatred from it, which was the hatred directed at Nangong Ruyun.
The first time he saw the ghost, he felt a creepy feeling in his heart.
He guessed that this ghost thing probably had a grudge against Aunt Yun when she was alive, so he absolutely couldn't let her hurt Aunt Yun.
Zhao Kangping was quick-witted and quick-handed. He quickly picked up Aunt Yun and then turned into a flash of lightning and fled away at high speed.
But he didn't expect that the ghost claw would chase him so closely, as if it had locked onto Aunt Yun and was chasing him straight.
The hideous ghost's claw could actually be launched out, and then new ghost claws grew out.
A black ghost claw was chasing him from behind, and Zhao Kangping's heart was beating wildly.
Zhao Kangping flew very far, but the ghost claw was still chasing him, as if it would not stop until it killed Aunt Yun.
He suddenly felt a chill down his spine, sensing a crisis was coming.
The scenery around him changed and turned into a desolate white snowfield.
There are piles of white bones scattered on the snowy field, and countless hunched figures are wandering on the snow.
Those people were so thin that their bones were visible, like walking skeletons. Judging from their clothes, they should be some elders and disciples of the Xianyun Sect.
They walked aimlessly in the snow.
But their faces were all unfamiliar, and Zhao Kangping didn't recognize any of them.
If Nangong Ruyun was awake, she would definitely find that these skinny figures were the people she had exiled to the Youchi Cold Prison.
The first thing she did after killing Sun Yanrong and regaining the position of sect leader was to clean up Sun Yanrong's followers.
She killed all the members of Sun Yanrong's lineage. It happened that that lineage was originally the largest one in Xianyun Sect, with countless talented disciples, many of whom were outstanding talents of the sect and represented the future of the sect.
But Nangong Ruyun still didn't let them go. If she let them go, wouldn't the deaths of Nangong Ruyun's senior sisters, junior brothers, and uncles killed by Sun Yanrong be in vain?
At that time, Nangong Ruyun was also blinded by hatred and committed murder in the sect.
She felt that she was avenging the dead, and she felt no guilt at all.
During this period, some people advised her to stop, but she did not listen and locked up those who advised her.
Later she learned that those who gave the advice were closely related to Sun Yanrong's lineage.
Although they did not directly participate in the massacre of Nangong Ruyun's lineage, they also stood by and watched, pretending to be saints at this time. In anger, Nangong Ruyun threw them into the Youchi Cold Prison.
And these people are the skinny figures walking in the snow in the illusion at this moment.
Suddenly, one of the people in the crowd below couldn't hold on and fell down.
The others first looked at the fallen person numbly. They stared at her blankly without any intention of reaching out to save her.
It’s not their fault. Everyone here can’t save themselves, so who can save others?
However, a hint of cruelty flashed in the eyes of a few people in the crowd, but it disappeared in a flash.
Then some people fell behind the team, one or two...
Those who fell behind gathered around the fallen, looking at their companions on the ground numbly.
Human nature is not worth mentioning in this cold white hell, and the desire to survive seems humble and ridiculous here.
However, some people are still unwilling to give up, so they gradually develop in the direction of beasts.
Soon, another skeleton appeared on the snowfield.
The formation in Youchi Cold Prison was reinforced after Nangong Ruyun escaped. It can suppress the cultivation of the people imprisoned.
The spiritual energy will slowly be stripped from the prisoners' bodies. Before long, they will have no spiritual energy left in their bodies. They will be like ordinary people, unable to fast and will feel hungry...
When Zhao Kangping saw the tragic scene on the snowy plain, he had a guess: could this be the Youchi Cold Prison?
But he didn't feel cold, it must be just an illusion.
Could it be that the ghost was transformed from the resentment of these people?
His guess was almost right. This ghost was indeed the vengeful spirits of the dead.
The Nether Pool Frost Prison would absorb the spiritual energy of cultivators, but it also gathered a large amount of ghostly spirits and dead energy. Over time, this gave rise to a ghost creature that had reached the Half-Step Refining Void stage.
It is a kind of ghost or evil spirit, and is not suppressed by the formation in the Youchi Cold Prison. Instead, it thrives in it and practices very well.
Now it has returned with a lot of resentment towards Nangong Ruyun.
Hatred made it want to eat her alive.
The illusion changed again, and the yin energy above the snowfield was so thick that it almost condensed into substance.
