Seeing that the purification was effective, everyone’s worried hearts finally relaxed. He Qingyuan looked at the black gas that was gradually dissipating beside the City Lord, and the uneasiness in his heart rose again.
Other than the initial obstruction, everything else was progressing too smoothly. Even before, they did not encounter any creatures with strong offensive abilities, and those damn things did not run out.
Moreover, if the City Lord had been in a riot in the past, those things would have seized the opportunity to wreak havoc and occupy the City Lord’s mind, causing him to attack. But now, there was no movement at all.
Just as he was thinking, he heard a rumbling sound!
The City Lord’s black aura had originally been on the verge of dissipating, but an extremely huge force appeared out of nowhere. The evil aura instantly solidified and gushed out like a spring, like an enraged ancient giant beast. It glared at them.
“Be careful!” He Qingyuan wanted to warn them, but it was too late.
The black aura instantly enveloped an elder.
“Ah!”
The black aura was like maggots in his bones, nibbling away at his spirit energy. The elder rolled on the ground in pain and screamed in pain. His face also became distorted. It was actually similar to the City Lord in the center of the formation.
As his spirit energy weakened, the array also fell into an unstable state. The spirit light gradually dimmed, and the City Lord’s peaceful face became ferocious again. The black qi actually showed signs of reviving.
The crowd could not care about the elder who was entangled by the black gas. They could not be distracted for a moment, so they could only increase the intensity of the spirit transmission. However, the array lacked a person, so the effect was not as good as before. In addition, the black qi suddenly rebelled.
Fortunately, a deep voice came from the side, “I’m here to help you.”
It was Ren Zeyuan. Seeing that the golden light gathered in his palm and fell into the array, it just happened to fill the previous gap, so everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
There was no time to lose. In case any changes occurred again, He Qingyuan hurriedly took out the defilement bead.
The white bead floated in the air. The black qi seemed to have met some natural enemy and retreated. Some of them could not avoid it in time and came into contact with the pure white light. They instantly disappeared and even the air felt a lot fresher.
The defilement bead could remove all the foul qi in the world.
Almost without He Qingyuan’s control, the defilement bead seemed to be attracted by something and flew directly to the top of the City Lord’s head. The black qi continued to pour in. Under the effect of the formation, the speed of absorbing the black gas was much faster.
Everyone smiled with relief. At this rate, it should not be a problem to remove the evil qi in the City Lord’s body. As long as they waited for Yan Hua and the others to refine the pills, they would be able to solve the problem from the root.
More than half of the black qi had entered the defilement bead. They did not know whether the evil qi was too powerful or not. The appearance of this world’s most precious treasure was no longer as bright as before, as if it was covered with a layer of faint dust.
Due to the huge consumption of spiritual power, not only did they have to maintain the operation of the array formation, but they also had to purify the City Lord, He Qingyuan and the others’ faces gradually turned pale. It was obvious they were struggling a little.
“I’m afraid that we can’t hold on for long. How long do we have to wait?”
He Qingyuan looked at the black qi in the City Lord’s body. “It should be soon. We just need to hold on for a while more.”
“Buzz –”
The defilement pearl let out a buzz and suddenly started to spin and shake rapidly as if it was stimulated by something. He Qingyuan even felt that it was almost out of his control.
“What’s going on?”
At the same time, the others also felt the rapid loss of spiritual qi in their bodies and were being absorbed by the City Lord. “All of my spiritual qi has been absorbed!”
“Mine too!”
Just when they wanted to stop and see what was going on, they were horrified to find that they couldn’t stop at all. It was as if there was a powerful force controlling them, and they couldn’t stop the flow at all. They could only passively be absorbed of spiritual energy.
At the same time, the faint black qi didn’t get purified. Instead, it crawled over and drilled into their bodies. However, the defilement pearl going out of control happened so suddenly that no one noticed it.
He Qingyuan saw that the situation was not good, and was about to chant a spell to forcefully stop the formation when a black qi came from behind him. He was caught off guard and suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
“It’s you!”
Looking at the person beside him whose scarlet eyes were flickering, He Qingyuan’s eyes were wide open with anger, filled with disbelief and fear.
Ren Zeyuan was expressionless, and the black qi that continuously surged out of his hand wrapped around him and the defilement bead. He was like a drowning person, unable to break free.
“President!”
“Vice City Lord, what’s going on? Why are you doing this!”
Everyone was so shocked that they could not recover from their shock. They saw Ren Zeyuan’s red pupils. He was like a wild beast, without any human emotions. There was also that black qi around him that was on par with the City Lord, only then did they realize that Ren Zeyuan had also been contaminated by the evil qi!
Moreover, his contamination was even more serious. He had already lost his mind.
Looking at their expressions, Ren Zeyuan was extremely happy. “You are simply a bunch of idiots. Up until now, you still haven’t discovered my existence.”
His words seemed to have a double meaning.
In a split second, He Qingyuan seemed to have understood something. No wonder he had always felt that something was wrong earlier. Now that he thought about all the things that Ren Zeyuan had done, a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
This person was too good at disguising himself, to the point that no one had noticed it before and to the point that they kept him by their side to deliver them a fatal blow.
