Wu Renxus face changed slightly as a cracking sound emanated from the seal, and faint green energy seeped out from the cracks.

Wu Renxus gaze flickered as he looked at the seal in his hand. With the circulation of elemental power, he began to repair each of the cracks.

However, before Wu Renxu could completely smooth out the cracks, another cracking sound came from another part of the seal.

The old cracks had not been repaired, yet new ones appeared.

And as the new cracks appeared, it seemed to reach a limit, causing the seal in Wu Renxu1 s hand to suddenly burst open, releasing the green energy within. Roar!

The malevolent ent.i.ty let out a roar to the sky, its immense sound waves sweeping the surroundings.

Wu Renxu waved the folding fan in his hand, blocking all the attacks in front of him, his eyes fixed ahead.

The malevolent ent.i.ty attempted to turn and flee, but was immediately intercepted by Tang Shouchang. In their brief confrontation, Tang Shouchang forcefully suppressed the malevolent ent.i.ty.

The malevolent ent.i.tys strength had not fully recovered, barely different from before it was sealed.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, Wu Renxu should have been able to seal it with such strength. However, just now, the malevolent ent.i.ty broke through the seal in Wu Renxus hand.

Whats going on? Zhang Chaoyun looked towards Wu Renxu and asked.

This malevolent ent.i.ty is tricky! Wu Renxu replied.

Stepping his right foot back, Wu Renxu swiftly moved above the malevolent ent.i.ty. With a flip of his folding fan, the enlarged fan enveloped the entire malevolent ent.i.ty.

Using the power of the spiritual treasure to forcibly contain the malevolent ent.i.ty would be stronger than simply sealing it.

The folding fan continuously compressed the malevolent ent.i.tys power, gradually shrinking itself. However, before it could return to its original size, the folding fan trembled slightly.

Dazzling streams of light flowed on the folding fan, causing Wu Renxu to furrow his brows. He stepped forward and pointed at the folding fan.

Sensing the situation within the folding fan, Wu Renxu was shocked and wasted no time, quickly retreating tens of meters away while holding onto the folding fan.

The malevolent ent.i.ty reappeared in its original position, and Wu Renxu inspected the folding fan in his hand, noticing some damage on its surface. He frowned with a pang of heartache.

In just a moment, his spiritual treasure was directly damaged. If he had delayed a moment longer, the entire spiritual treasure might have been torn apart, just like the seal earlier.

It felt as if he had intended to contain not the nearly powerless malevolent ent.i.ty before him, but the malevolent ent.i.ty in its full strength.

Seeing Wu Renxu retreat, both Tang Shouchang and Zhang Chaoyun were momentarily stunned. Tang Shouchangs figure flowed, intercepting the malevolent ent.i.ty that intended to flee.

Once this malevolent ent.i.ty is sealed, its power will undergo mutation, and with our current methods, we cannot seal it, Wu Renxu said in a deep voice. After two consecutive failures, if the initial failure with the formation seal was deemed an accident, now that even the spiritual treasure failed, it was inevitable.

Especially since the spiritual treasure was connected to his own life force, Wu Renxu felt it more keenly.

Then lets kill it! Tang Shouchang said in a low voice.

From Thousand Geese City to Feihuang City, it was tens of thousands of miles, which wasnt much for those in the Mountain Sea Realm. But if they didnt seal the malevolent ent.i.ty and continued on like this, who knew what might happen along the way.

The Mountain Sea Realm was strong, but on the Middle Continent, they werent free to roam as they pleased.

Zhang Chaoyun hesitated a bit, as it involved the Red Flame Gold, but he also knew that if they couldn t seal it, going directly to Feihuang City was highly unrealistic.

Even now, we cant kill it. This malevolent ent.i.ty is truly formidable! Wu Renxu shook his head.

What do you mean? Tang Shouchang slashed the malevolent ent.i.ty back, looking at Wu Renxu with confusion.

We previously cleared the power within this malevolent ent.i.tys body, which is its weakest but also its strongest stage, Wu Renxu explained.

As his words fell, he waved his paper fan, summoning a tornado that enveloped the malevolent ent.i.ty.

Wind blades tore through the air, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder. Wu Renxu exerted all his strength in this move, and although the malevolent ent.i.ty continued to roar, its aura gradually diminished.

However, when its aura dropped to a certain level, the malevolent ent.i.tys aura began to increase in reverse, with the efficiency of absorbing the surrounding elemental energy from the heavens and earth greatly enhanced. Even with the tornado around, it was unaffected.

Tang Shouchang and the others furrowed their brows. They hadnt realized this characteristic of the malevolent ent.i.ty when they hadnt pushed it to this extent earlier.

This malevolent ent.i.ty, it places its essence elsewhere. Not only does it naturally counter sealing, but with our current strength, the speed at which we can kill it is not as fast as its recovery speed, Wu Renxu said.

Cut off the supply of elemental energy from the heavens and earth, so it cant recover, ZhangChaoyun suggested.

No use. We cant completely cut off the elemental energy. This malevolent ent.i.ty absorbs elemental energy from the void.

Tang Shouchang observed the malevolent ent.i.ty, noting how it was absorbing and expelling elemental energy at the moment, and spoke with a resolute tone. No wonder Feihuang City is willing to offer rare treasures in exchange for this malevolent ent.i.ty.

Zhang Chaoyun was also unsure of what to do at this moment. They couldnt kill it, nor could they seal it. Were they supposed to just wait here?

Of course, if they couldnt kill or seal it, it must mean their strength wasnt sufficient. If they were in the later stages of the Mountain Sea Realm, or even in the middle stages, they could probably directly suppress the malevolent ent.i.ty.

So, should they invite a strong individual from the middle stages of the Mountain Sea Realm?

There was a strong individual in the middle stages of the Mountain Sea Realm eighty thousand miles away. Although the journey would be somewhat lengthy it was feasible.

No need for that, Wu Renxu said, seemingly understanding the meaning in Tang Shouchang and the others gazes.

He shook his head and continued, This malevolent ent.i.ty is most difficult to deal with at the moment. But if there is still plenty of resentment within its body, we can directly seal it using that resentment as a sh.e.l.l.

Wu Renxu stroked the damage on the folding fan. Although the spiritual treasure was harmed, it also allowed Wu Renxu to understand the malevolent ent.i.tys characteristics more clearly.

One had to admit, this malevolent ent.i.tys characteristics were indeed formidable.

For humans or beasts, this level would undoubtedly be their weakest, but not for this malevolent ent.i.ty.

What do you mean? Zhang Chaoyun asked, somewhat uncertain.

Feed it with its own resentment, let it recover, and then seal it in one fell swoop. We can still claim the reward in Feihuang City! Wu Renxus eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke.

No, with this malevolent ent.i.tys power, ordinary resentment would be of little use. Besides, theres a Monster King guarding the malevolent ent.i.tys nest thousands of miles away. This malevolent ent.i.ty wont have a chance, Tang Shouchang frowned.

Currently, only one in ten sects remained in the Thousand Geese Mountains, and those that survived were only in remote areas.

So many people died just to restore this malevolent ent.i.tys power. It was evident how voracious this malevolent ent.i.ty was.

To feed it to the point where it could be sealed, who knew how much more blood it would need.

As for using malevolent ent.i.ty beasts as fodder, the Monster King wouldnt tolerate it, and afterward, the Monster King would likely retaliate against Thousand Geese City even more fiercely.

At present, they couldnt seal the malevolent ent.i.ty, and it wasnt realistic to hide while throwing the malevolent ent.i.ty into the malevolent ent.i.tys nest. In the end, the malevolent ent.i.ty would surely escape.

Wu Renxu remained silent, turning to look at Zhang Chaoyun. His own opinion alone didnt count for much, but if someone supported him, it would lead to a different outcome.

Zhang Chaoyuns expression fluctuated, torn between his desire for the Red Flame Gold. For so many years, he had been searching for it, but to no avail.

It wasnt that there were no leads, but the places where he received information were beyond his ability to capture with his strength and resources.

Zhang Chaoyuns method of cultivation was slightly different from others.

His lineage emphasized the unity of self and object. The long spear in his hand was not only his spiritual treasure but also the embodiment of his path in the Mountain Sea Realm.

The stronger the spear, the faster Zhang Chaoyuns cultivation speed. However, a battle in the past had damaged the spear, directly halting Zhang Chaoyuns progress for decades, with no advancement whatsoever.

Now he had the opportunity to restore the spear, and perhaps even advance further. How could Zhang Chaoyun not be tempted?

After all, if he missed this chance, Zhang Chaoyun didnt know if there would be another opportunity or if he would encounter a better choice.

What do you propose? Zhang Chaoyun hesitated for a moment, his expression gradually becoming resolute.

The reward in Feihuang City includes not only the Red Flame Gold but also the Profound Heaven Fruit, Wu Renxu said in a low voice, turning to lookat Tang Shouchang.

If you agree to join us, the three of us will split it evenly, and later we can also give some to Brother Yu An. If you refuse, then todays matter will be solely borne by me and Brother Zhang.

Tang Shouchang stared at Wu Renxu with widened eyes, his voice tinged with bitterness. Are you suggesting using the remaining sects in the Thousand Geese Mountains as fodder for this malevolent ent.i.ty?

Killing the malevolent ent.i.ty inevitably involves sacrifice, doesnt it? Wu Renxu chuckled softly, his eyes devoid of any burden.

His sects were all within Thousand Geese City now. What did the other sects in the Thousand Geese Mountains have to do with him? After so many deaths already, he didnt care if a few more died.

The Red Flame Gold and the Profound Heaven Fruit were never within reach before. But today, as long as they sealed the malevolent ent.i.ty, all these treasures could be obtained.

Youre mad! This is an act of evil! Tang Shouchang exclaimed sharply.

The malevolent ent.i.ty has lurked here for a long time. The surviving sects may not be untainted, Zhang Chaoyun murmured.

Tang Shouchang turned to look at Zhang Chaoyun, his excited expression gradually solidifying. Clearly, no matter what he said, he couldnt change their minds.

For the sake of rare treasures, for the sake of advancing further in martial arts, a little sacrifice in their eyes was nothing. They might even directly attribute it to the malevolent ent.i.ty.

To outsiders, they could appear kind and benevolent, even risking their lives, just as they did when they came to kill the malevolent ent.i.ty earlier.

But when it came to significant benefits, their choices would always lean towards themselves.

Brother Tang, theres no need for that. We dont need every surviving sect in the Thousand Geese Mountains. The malevolent ent.i.ty doesnt need to feast so extravagantly, Wu Renxu said.

Tang Shouchang remained silent, just watching the two.

As long as you dont stop us, youll still have a share of the reward when the time comes.

Wu Renxu continued, flipping his folding fan in his hand and starting to drive away the malevolent ent.i.ty.

Sensing a weakening in one position, the malevolent ent.i.ty immediately charged towards it.

Tang Shouchang watched as Wu Renxu and the others gradually moved away, tightly gripping the blade in his hand.

After a moment, Tang Shouchang stepped back with his right foot, following from a distance. He would keep an eye on the two, preventing them from doing anything too outrageous.

Meanwhile, at the Primordial Sword Sect.

Chen Fei used his soul power to slay the corrupted creatures. Fortunately, these creatures were only tainted by the malevolent ent.i.tys energy. Otherwise, with Chen Feis current strength, it would have been difficult to completely destroy them.

The sects defensive formation remained activated, and Chen Fei floated in the air with his eyes closed, recuperating.

Suddenly, Chen Feis eyes snapped open, and he looked into the distance, a sense of foreboding rising within him.
