Everything went smoothly. From the beginning to the end, the evil spirit didn't retaliate. Apart from standing up, he didn't move at all. He didn't resist at all.
After his figure completely disappeared, Zhang Kanwen exhaled deeply. His hands that were supporting him on the ground seemed to have lost their strength, and he lay on the ground again.
I sat there in a daze. I had a surreal feeling in my heart.
Did I really kill the sacrificial evil spirit?
I lifted my head and looked around. After I couldn't find that terrifying figure, I finally confirmed my suspicions.
I relaxed a little, but I wasn't ecstatic. Instead, I had an indescribable feeling.
Although I saw the sacrificial evil spirit kill many Heavenly Masters with my own eyes, he has never harmed me since I came into contact with him. Now that I think about it, I only have one memory of him. He was standing in front of me, looking at me blankly. It was as if he was thinking about something in his pitch-black eye sockets.
I didn't know why, but I felt like I had lost something.
However, I quickly tossed these heavy thoughts to the side. Now that the evil sacrificial spirit had been killed by me, the remaining eleven teachers were like defenseless children lying beside me. At this moment, there was no longer anyone who could threaten me in the Spring Sacrifice Hall.
The only problem now was the strange power under my feet. As long as I could find a way to get rid of that power, I would be able to escape.
I turned to look. Nangong was sitting not far from me. He was looking at me with a strange smile on his face.
I was already used to his strange behavior, so I didn't mind it. I asked him if he had any solution to the problem of not being able to move my feet.
Nangong didn't answer me. Instead, he got up from the ground and slowly walked to my side. He lowered his head and walked one round around me. Then, he shook his head. "I don't see any power binding your feet."
It seemed that he didn't have a solution.
Feeling helpless, I asked him to go and take care of Zhang Kanwen. Then, I called the little zombie over and asked him to hug my legs. I wanted him to try pulling on them.
The little zombie was the strongest existence at the moment. As I didn't have any other solution, I could only try to use brute force.
In the end, he almost tore my legs off, but my feet didn't move at all.
This stupid method didn't work. I was at my wit's end. I could only sit down cross-legged and close my eyes to regulate my breathing. I circulated the shaman energy in my body and the purer black energy that I had absorbed from the Blood Sacrifice Cave in an attempt to break the seal on the Veins of the Heaven.
Without the threat of the Heavenly Master, I didn't need to worry about breaking the seal. I decided to use all the dark air I had absorbed in the Blood Sacrifice Cave.
Originally, I had already sensed that the black smoke contained an enormous amount of shaman energy. Now that I was controlling it with all my strength, I could feel how terrifying the black smoke was.
My current cultivation level is roughly at the peak of the Glorious Four Stars. There are four Witchcraft Qi Source Stones at the bottom of the Heaven Vein.
These four Dawn Stones contain all the Shaman Qi in my body.
If I can channel the Shaman Qi out of the Dawn Stone, I can easily fill up my entire Heaven Vein.
Due to the existence of the seal, the black smoke that I had absorbed couldn't enter the Heaven Vein, and could only be stored in the eight extraordinary meridians.
The volume of the eight extraordinary meridians was only a tenth of the Heaven Vein. However, after sensing it carefully, I could feel that the power contained in the black smoke in the eight extraordinary meridians was more than ten times that of all the shaman energy in my body.
In other words, the density of the shaman energy contained in the black smoke was at least a hundred times that of the Heaven Vein.
It should be known that the shaman energy that I had cultivated was directly absorbed from the Tai Sui. The power contained in the strange black smoke was more than a hundred times that of the shaman energy surrounding the Tai Sui. It was simply terrifying.
In the cultivation level of the Glorious Consciousness realm, the growth of the shaman energy would roughly double with every increase in star. According to this ratio, as long as I could absorb all the black smoke, my cultivation level would be able to reach the peak of the Glorious Six Stars, or even complete the Glorious Seven Stars.
As I pondered over these questions, the seal on the Heaven Vein loosened under the effects of the black smoke and the shaman energy in my body. In the end, under the combined attack of the two, a crisp sound came from my chest. I had finally broken through the seal.
When I opened my eyes again, Nangong was sitting next to me. He was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. He seemed to be cultivating as well. However, the moment I opened my eyes, he opened his eyes as well. He smiled and asked me, "How is it?"
After I briefly explained the situation to him, I asked him how it was.
Nangong shook his head, as though he wasn't willing to say much. He only vaguely told me that the seal in his body was rather troublesome and hadn't been removed yet.
Then, he pointed at the group of Heaven's Masters not far away and asked me, "How do you intend to deal with them?"
Hearing his words, I was stunned.
Deal with them?
Only then did I react. The current situation seemed to have been completely reversed. Originally, I was the meat on the chopping block and the Heaven's Masters were the meat on the chopping block.
But now, I was the meat on the chopping block and they were the meat on the chopping block.
If I wanted to kill them, the eleven Heaven's Masters who were struggling at death's door could only die helplessly without any ability to resist.
I hesitated for a moment as I couldn't make up my mind. I turned to ask Nangong for his opinion.
In the end, he smiled at me and told me that it was my problem and he didn't care. It was up to me if I wanted to kill them or let them go.
Even though the evil sacrificial spirit had died in my hands, I still couldn't make up my mind to kill eleven Heaven's Masters in one go, including eight Yang God Celestial Masters.
After pondering for a moment, I shook my head at Nangong and said noncommittally, "I still can't move so there's no point in thinking about it. Let's talk about it after I resolve my crisis."
Nangong nodded and didn't comment on what I had said.
Just as I was preparing to think of a way to deal with the unknown power that was coiling around my feet, an extremely loud bell sound was suddenly heard from the Spring Sacrifice Hall.
This bell sound was much stronger than the previous one. However, since my cultivation had already recovered, I didn't feel as uncomfortable as the previous few times.
When I heard the bell sound, I instinctively raised my head to look at the evil sacrificial spirit. But after I raised my head, I remembered that the evil sacrificial spirit had already been killed by me.
The previous few times when the bell sounded, the evil sacrificial spirit would immediately react. Even though he was already dead, who knew if there would be any other abnormal situations. Thus, I didn't dare to be negligent as I held my breath and stayed vigilant.
After five to six minutes, there was no movement in my surroundings. Only then did I relax. I tried to move my feet again. This time, I didn't even have time to activate the shaman energy in my body. I lifted my feet and left the ground.
Previously, every time I tried to lift my feet with all my might, they wouldn't move at all. Subconsciously, I used a lot of strength to lift my feet. This sudden change caused my body to tremble and I almost fell to the ground. After I came back to my senses, I suddenly jumped to stabilize my body.
After that jump, I finally came back to my senses. The power that had previously trapped me had completely disappeared.
This strange power left as quickly as it came. Moreover, there were no signs of it at all. I didn't even notice when I was trapped and when I escaped.
After confirming that I was free, I immediately lowered my head and carefully looked at the place where I was standing. However, no matter how I looked, it was just an ordinary spot on the ground. There wasn't anything strange about it.
However, it wasn't the time to get to the bottom of it. I quickly gave up on studying that power. I stood up and exhaled. I started to think about my next move.
At this moment, Nangong also noticed that I was free. He also stood up and smiled. "What do you plan to do next?"
I didn't reply to him and directly turned to walk towards the group of Heaven's Masters. To be more precise, I was walking towards Lu Ziyang.
To be honest, I hated all the Heaven's Masters of the Metaphysics Association. However, I was still a little worried about killing President Gu and the others. After all, the old president was still around. I couldn't not consider this point.
However, there was one person that wasn't in my consideration.
Lu Ziyang, Lu Zhenyang's grandfather. He was the head of the Lu family who had an irreconcilable grudge against me.
