Chapter 918: Strange, why is it suddenly a bit cold?
After hearing Xiaohua's words, Su Chenyin frowned slightly, thinking secretly about the spirit of the weapon.
Since Ximen Lie and the other three are no longer here, now is the best time to rescue Ji Lier.
If I miss this opportunity, I'm afraid I'll never have another chance in the future.
So, she handed a space storage talisman and a puppet restoration talisman to the Black Devourer in the space.
This Fukui Talisman was the result of her painstaking research over countless days and nights, consuming a great deal of time and energy.
This puppet-replicate talisman can perfectly copy a living being into an identical puppet, with both appearance and aura being exactly the same as the original.
However, the puppet only lasted for a very short time, only three hours.
Su Chenyin calmed himself down and then released the black devourer from the space.
As soon as the Black Devourer appeared, it turned into a ball of black gas invisible to the naked eye and hid in the sleeves of Su Chenyin under the table.
Su Chenyin concentrated his mind and communicated with Hei Shi using his spiritual sense.
Her voice rang out in Heishi's mind: "Heishi, go to the dark cell and quietly put Ji Lier into the space storage talisman. Remember to be careful and cautious, and never let anyone find out. You must rescue Ji Lier safely."
The Black Devourer trembled slightly in response to Su Chenyin's command.
Then, like an invisible shadow, it followed the crack in the corner of the wall and floated silently towards the dark cellar.
Wherever it passed, the air seemed to have lost all its temperature and became extremely cold.
Even the surrounding spiritual energy was affected, as if it was frozen a little.
Outside the dark room, there is tight security.
Twenty guards wearing heavy black iron armor stood on both sides of the passage like sculptures.
They kept their eyes straight ahead and guarded the dark room with full concentration.
Powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanated from their bodies, and the weakest of them had the cultivation level of a late Spiritual Venerable.
The leading guard captain had even reached the first level of spiritual god, with a pair of eagle eyes as fast as lightning, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
"The clan leader and his men just came out, and they seemed to be in a good mood," a young guard whispered.
"Shut up!" the guard leader shouted, "Guard your position. If anything goes wrong, we'll all lose our heads!"
The young guard immediately fell silent and straightened his back.
The captain of the guard snorted coldly and continued his patrol.
None of them noticed that a black fog thicker than the night was slowly moving along the shadow of the corner of the wall.
Black Devour carefully controlled his form and restrained his aura to the extreme.
Concealment is its innate talent, but facing so many monks with high cultivation, it still dare not be careless.
"Three steps ahead is the warning circle." Hei Shi calculated in his mind, his scarlet eyes flashing with caution in the darkness.
It can sense the patterns of the formation appearing in the air ahead——
That is the Ximen family's unique "Heavenly Net Formation". Once triggered, an alarm will sound within a radius of ten miles.
Black Devourer slowly shrank his body and turned into a black line as thin as a hair, quietly passing through the weakest node of the magic circle.
This process is extremely slow and any carelessness will result in all previous efforts being wasted.
Time seemed to be stretched to the extreme, and every second seemed as long as a century.
Finally, it successfully crossed the first line of defense.
In front of us were two rows of guards patrolling in a cross pattern. They marched in unison and coordinated well, leaving almost no blind spots.
"We must wait for the right opportunity." Black Devourer lurked patiently in the shadows, like a spider waiting for its prey.
It noticed that the guards had a brief blind spot every thirty breaths - the moment when the two teams crossed each other.
Eighteen, nineteen, twenty... Hei Shi counted silently in his heart.
When it counts to twenty-nine, it is ready to go.
thirty!
The two teams of guards passed each other back to back, and Black Devourer passed through them like an arrow, so fast that he didn't even leave an afterimage.
"Strange, why is it suddenly a bit cold?" A guard shivered and looked back in confusion.
"Stop being suspicious," the companion said impatiently, "and focus on patrolling! If the people inside escape, we will all lose our heads."
Black Devourer has arrived at the door of the dark room.
The heavy black iron door was engraved with forbidden runes, and ordinary cultivators would die if they touched it.
But this is useless to the Black Devourer who has no entity.
It turned into a wisp of smoke and quietly seeped in through the crack in the door.
In the dark room, it was cold and damp.
Finally, Black Devourer came to Ji Lier's side silently like a ghost.
The air in the dark room was stagnant and rotten, mixed with the pungent smell of blood and herbs.
Ji Lier was chained to a bloodstained broken bed in the corner of the dark room. She was ragged and skinny.
Her face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. Her once long black hair was now as dry and yellow as grass, scattered messily on the bed.
There was almost no sign of her chest rising or falling, and her breath was as weak as a candle in the wind, as if she would die in an instant if the slightest breeze blew past.
When Hei Shi saw this, his heart tightened.
He quickly transformed into a human form and took out a puppet restoration talisman from his space ring without hesitation.
He carefully placed the Fukui Talisman on Ji Lier's clothes on her chest and chanted a spell in a low voice.
The patterns on the talisman paper began to glow and gradually covered Ji Lier's entire body.
As the light grew brighter, a puppet exactly like her gradually took shape.
This puppet even has the same aura as its original body, it looks lifelike and lies quietly on the bed.
One could even see the pale blue veins beneath his tightly closed eyelids, and his chest rose and fell slightly with his breathing.
Both his appearance and demeanor were exactly the same as Ji Lier's. Even the aura of decay of a dying person was imitated perfectly.
Hei Shi carefully checked it and made sure that the puppet had no flaws, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Take this first." Heishi took out the Nine-Turn Soul-Restoring Pill that Su Chenyin had carefully prepared and gently lifted the back of Ji Lier's neck.
The pill is emerald green all over and exudes a faint medicinal fragrance.
Ji Lier's lips were already cracked and bleeding, so Hei Shi had to carefully pry open her teeth and put the pill under her tongue.
The elixir will melt when it comes into contact with water.
Ji Lier's throat rolled, her brows slightly frowned, then relaxed, and a hint of color finally appeared on her face.
At the same time, Su Chenyin, who was far away, was paying attention to Hei Shi's every move through his spiritual sense.
She stared at Hei Shi intently, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
Su Chenyin also used his spiritual sense to carefully examine the puppet.
After confirming that there were no flaws, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hurry, Heishi, take her away quickly." Su Chenyin urged Heishi with his spiritual sense, while vigilantly sensing the surroundings.
She was already familiar with the patrol rules of Ximen Mansion, but no one should approach the dark room at this time.
But just when Hei Shi was about to take the real Ji Li'er into the space storage symbol, a faint sound of footsteps came from a distance.
