In the mysterious underground chamber, the purification ritual reached its most crucial moment. However, just at this critical juncture, Yun Che suddenly felt a dizzy spell, his body began to sway, and his vision blurred.
"Damn it, why did my physical weakness have to choose this time to show up," Yun Che's voice carried a hint of helplessness as he realized the toll of the recent days' exhaustion and pressure on him.
Wu Ling noticed Yun Che's abnormality, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes: "Yun Che, my lord!"
But she knew she couldn't be distracted, she had to maintain the other part of the Purification Array. Once the array dispersed, those Resentful spirits would rampage through the entire city.
At this extremely tense moment, a plain-dressed scholar suddenly appeared. He quickly walked towards Yun Che, and timely supported her body, preventing her from falling.
The scholar's hand rested on Yun Che's waist, while his other hand reached for the Purification Array, beginning to support the collapsing part. He closed his eyes and focused on infusing his own spiritual power into the array, stabilizing the Purification Array once again.
Yun Che's head leaned on the scholar's shoulder, feeling the powerful spiritual energy coming from the scholar, and couldn't help but feel surprised: "Who are you? How could you..."
The scholar replied calmly: "I am just a passing scholar. But I also sensed the anomaly here, so I came to see if I could help."
With the help of the scholar, the Purification Array stabilized and began to operate once more. The powerful purifying storm swept through the entire basement once again, purifying the Resentful spirit and souls one by one.
With the release of each soul, their faces became peaceful and dissipated into the light.
In the end, the enormous spiritual body formed by countless resentful spirits gradually became transparent in the intense light, and eventually dissipated into nothingness.
After the purification, the entire basement returned to tranquility. The light from the black crystal ball disappeared, becoming dim and lifeless.
Yun Che took a deep breath and expressed his gratitude to the scholar: "Thank you very much for your timely assistance, young hero. If it weren't for you today, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
The scholar smiled and responded, "Not at all, I just happened to pass by, and I am honored to be of help."
At this moment, the scholar's hand placed on Yun Che's waist seemed to express doubt: "Just... I'm curious... aren't you a woman? How did you suddenly become so strong?"
Yun Che Only then did he realize the current situation, feeling a bit embarrassed. After all, he was used to taking advantage of others all the time, but he never thought that this time, he would be the one taken advantage of.
He gently pushed away the scholar, a barely noticeable smile playing at the corner of his mouth. "It seems that not only do you have profound cultivation, but also keen observation skills."
The student smiled and shook his head, "I admit your disguise is perfect, but for someone like me, there are still flaws."
He said this out loud, but in his heart he thought, "Of course, because once I touch a woman, my power weakens. But when I touched you, my spiritual power remained, which means you are a man."
At this moment, Wu Ling noticed that Yun Che still looked pale and asked softly, "Lord Yun Che, how are you feeling now? We should leave here as soon as possible."
Yun Che nodded and replied, "I'm fine, thanks to the help of this scholar. We should indeed leave here and report the situation to the capital's princess."
Three people slowly walked out of the underground chamber of the temple and returned to the main hall of the temple.
Yun Che and Wu Ling expressed deep gratitude to the scholar and invited him to accompany them to the capital county's main mansion.
They were discussing the purification ritual that had just taken place, as well as the deeper secrets that may be hidden behind this event.
"How do you think that black crystal ball came about?" Yun Che asked, curiosity shining in his eyes.
The scholar pondered for a moment and replied, "From its energy fluctuations, it appears to be no ordinary object. It may be related to ancient sorcery, perhaps some kind of sealed item."
Yun Che nodded, furrowing his brow, "If that's the case, then unraveling its secrets will be very important."
They continued forward in silence for a while. Then, Yun Che suddenly said, "Thank goodness you showed up in time today, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. But how did you happen to be there at that exact moment?"
The scholar smiled slightly and replied, "In fact, I have been tracking these unusual events all along. I sensed the strong energy, so I hurried over."
"How did you track it down?" Wu Ling asked curiously.
The scholar shook his head gently. "That is an ancient art, not easily explained. But I can assure you, all of this is related to a larger conspiracy."
Wu Ling then listened attentively to their conversation until the three of them arrived at the county lord's mansion. Yun Che immediately reported to the capital county lord everything they had discovered at the temple, including the mysterious black crystal ball and the purification ritual they had performed.
After listening, the capital county lord's expression turned serious: "This incident is far more serious than we had imagined. I will immediately send people to seal off the temple and conduct further investigation."
Yun Che nodded in understanding, saying, "We will continue to keep an eye on this matter. If there are any new discoveries, we will notify you immediately."
After leaving the county lord's mansion with Yun Che and Wu Ling, the scholar bid them farewell, saying, "I still have some personal matters to attend to. If you need help in the future, you can come find me."
Yun Che expressed gratitude for the scholar's help and agreed to his proposal. After the scholar left, Yun Che and Wu Ling returned to the market and began discussing their next course of action.
As the night grew darker and the lights flickered, Yun Che and Wu Ling sat in front of a small stall in the market. The surrounding noise gradually faded into the distance, leaving only the gentle steam rising from their teacups on the table, carrying a faint aroma.
Yun Che quietly picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes reflecting the ripples in the tea. "My body is weakening again, so I have reverted to being a man," he said softly, with a hint of ease in his voice. "But it's fortunate in a way, or else I would be the one getting taken advantage of."
Wu Ling smiled gently, with a hint of warmth in her eyes. "Lord Yun Che, this incident has left us all exhausted. But being able to resolve the crisis in time is the best outcome we could hope for."
Yun Che nodded, looking resolute: "Indeed, this incident has made me uneasy. The power displayed by the black crystal ball and the Resentful spirit is clearly beyond anything we have encountered before."
Wu Ling looked up at the night sky, with a thoughtful glint in their eyes: "You're right. That kind of power is indeed unusual, and the sudden appearance and mysterious identity of that scholar make it all the more elusive. The abilities he displayed are clearly beyond those of an ordinary person."
Yun Che put down the teacup in his hand and spoke with a serious tone: "We must remain vigilant against him. I have a feeling that I may have encountered him before on the road. If I still had my full strength, perhaps I could see through his true identity. Moreover... within this capital, there may be more secrets and powers hidden that we have yet to discover. This incident may only be the surface."
Wu Ling nodded gently in agreement, "Indeed, Lord Yun Che, we should continue to investigate deeply and gather more information. Only by uncovering the truth can we better defend the people of this capital."
Yun Che's gaze was firm as he looked towards the distant horizon: "Regardless of the kind of power we face, if they threaten the city and innocent people, we will never stand idly by. This is our responsibility as immortals."
