Yun Zhi always feels that what she worries about will happen.
After all, this is the Seek Tao Sect, and anything can happen here.
Lu Yang entered a mysterious state. He felt that every acupuncture point in his body was filled with spiritual energy. The circulation of his body and the external spiritual energy merged together. With every breath, he completed the exchange of spiritual energy.
His heart was unprecedentedly calm. He could clearly feel the continuous strengthening of his body, benefiting from the refining of the Kui Niu's heart and being able to sense it.
"Let's take a look." Yun Zhi glanced at Lu Yang who was cultivating and didn't disturb him. She went alone to the pine forest and let the puppet protect Lu Yang.
It was already late at night, and there were only Yun Zhi and Lu Yang on the Tianmen Peak. It was exceptionally quiet. Yun Zhi walked in the mountains, like a fairy walking on the clouds.
Then Yun Zhi saw the noisy master and elders trapped in the cave.
Even from a distance, she could hear their voices.
Yun Zhi sighed. The things that should happen will always happen.
She walked into the cave, wondering whether to let them out.
…
In the cave, the high-level members of the Seek Tao Sect gathered together.
"I knew that you senior brothers and sisters are kind-hearted people, unwilling to see me alone here, so you specially came to accompany me." Bu Yu Taoist was very grateful, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Especially the second senior brother, on the surface, he cracked the formation, but in fact, he just didn't want to see me lonely and brought everyone here!"
Uncle Ba suddenly felt the malicious gazes from his senior brothers and sisters, and felt immense pressure.
He pretended to be calm and said, "Don't be nervous, this is just a seal set by Yun Zhi's niece. It's not her personally here. As long as we work together, we can definitely overcome this difficulty and break the seal!"
"Think about the Nine Sons of the Seek Tao Sect in the past, think about the difficulties we have overcome since then, what difficulties can't we overcome?"
They had traveled through the rivers and lakes when they were young, slaying demons and monsters, leaving a great reputation in the Central Continent. They were called the "Nine Sons of the Seek Tao Sect" by the people at that time.
In the small cave, the Nine Sons of the Seek Tao Sect united once again.
"Ninth senior brother, tell us, how can we leave here?" Uncle Ba stared at Bu Yu Taoist fiercely. He came here just to watch the show, but ended up becoming part of the show.
Bu Yu Taoist smirked and said, "Since you all have come to accompany me so painstakingly, how can you leave so easily?"
He solemnly said, "I'm not afraid to be laughed at when I say this, but Yun Zhi's cultivation has already surpassed mine. The purpose of setting up this seal is to make me work hard and break through myself."
"So, to break the seal, we must surpass our limits and transcend ourselves!"
Everyone realized the seriousness of the problem. It was easy to say to transcend oneself, but it was difficult to actually do it.
Bu Yu Taoist had already planned the development of the situation: first, everyone would try to break the seal one by one. After being repelled, they would inevitably feel discouraged. At this time, he would say that he had gained some insights and was about to break through. He would meditate for three days, and after three days, he would pretend to have a surge of aura and display a brilliant sword technique to attack the entrance of the cave. At that time, the seal would be just released, and his senior brothers and sisters would be amazed by his comprehension.
A perfect plan!
"In that case, as the second senior brother, I should take the lead and give it a try!" Uncle Ba, as the oldest in seniority in the absence of the Great Elder, took on the role of setting an example.
The others watched expectantly as Uncle Ba prepared himself. Uncle Ba felt that he probably couldn't break the seal and would be embarrassed, so he turned his head and said, "You all step back. I have a unique skill that is inconvenient to display in front of others."
Everyone obediently retreated to the depths of the cave, where they couldn't see the entrance.
Seeing everyone leave, Uncle Ba took a deep breath and shook several seeds out of his sleeve. Accompanied by his murmuring, the seeds instantly turned into sturdy vines, striking the entrance of the cave. The vines emitted a faint light, and thunder burst forth, shaking the heavens and the earth.
This was the extremely rare Purple Thunder Vine, which was said to be born after being bathed in thunder tribulation. It bore the mark of heaven and earth since birth and possessed the power of thunder tribulation.
After a series of intense attacks, the entrance of the cave remained unchanged, and the seal was undisturbed.
"Hmm?"
Uncle Ba saw a graceful figure in the thick smoke and frowned.
As the smoke dissipated, Yun Zhi's figure appeared.
Uncle Ba, with his rich experience, instantly understood what had happened.
This must be his own inner demon. Didn't Ninth Senior Brother say that to break the seal, he must transcend himself? How to transcend oneself? It must be to defeat the inner demon.
"I thought I had already let go, thinking that each generation is stronger than the previous one, and it's a good thing for the younger generation to be stronger than the older generation. I didn't expect that I still couldn't let go!" Uncle Ba's fighting spirit rose.
At this thought, Uncle Ba didn't hesitate anymore and used all his strength to attack Yun Zhi.
Yun Zhi originally wanted to come in and see what the elders were doing and whether she should let them out. Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the entrance of the cave, she was bombarded by Uncle Ba.
Helpless, Yun Zhi counterattacked, extending her delicate jade hand, and the bells on her wrist jingled as she slapped Uncle Ba, sending him flying.
Uncle Ba flew far away and was caught by the Third Elder and others.
"Second senior brother, what's wrong with you?"
Uncle Ba coughed twice, his eyes showing a hint of fear. He trembled and raised his hand, pointing at the entrance of the cave, and said, "Be careful, Ninth Senior Brother didn't lie to us. Yun Zhi's niece is incredibly talented. She set up an inner demon seal. To break the seal, we must eliminate the inner demon!"
Bu Yu Taoist was puzzled. Inner demon? What inner demon?
The Third Elder didn't believe it and stepped forward to give it a try. He encountered Yun Zhi again and, just like the Second Elder, he directly fought without using his brain. The result was the same as the Second Elder. He was sent flying by a palm strike.
"What a powerful inner demon!"
The Fourth Elder, the Fifth Elder… the Eighth Elder, one by one, the elders tried and were defeated by Yun Zhi.
Bu Yu Taoist came to the entrance of the cave in confusion and saw Yun Zhi, suddenly realizing what had happened. This was not an inner demon at all, it was clearly Yun Zhi herself guarding the entrance!
"Yun Zhi?" Bu Yu Taoist tentatively called out.
Yun Zhi responded with her usual cold and indifferent tone, "I am the inner demon."
After speaking, without giving her master a chance to react, she struck him with a palm and turned to leave the cave.
Treating herself as an inner demon, attacking as soon as she came up, and still wanting to leave? Just sit and meditate honestly for three days.
…
Lu Yang slowly opened his eyes and felt a warm flow of energy in his body. He was only one step away from a breakthrough.
At this time, Yun Zhi had already returned to her original position. Lu Yang saw Yun Zhi sitting across from him and wondered if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Senior Sister seemed a little happy.
"Senior Sister, is there something you're happy about?"
"No." Yun Zhi responded in her usual cold and indifferent tone.
