Actually, Lingfeng did not expect this formation to be so powerful. He wanted to use the energy of the Demon Relic to protect the Demon Relic, which was also an idea in his mind, so he set it up temporarily.
Wanshitong brushed off the dust on his clothes, looked at Lingfeng, and hesitated before saying, "In that case, how are we going to destroy this formation in the future?"
If the Demon Relic is the source of this formation, then Lingfeng is merely a fuse; his role is only to create conditions for the formation's establishment, while the true control of this formation lies with the Demon Relic.
Based on this, even Lingfeng would probably not be able to destroy this Bagua Formation.
However, since Lingfeng was able to create this formation, he naturally thought of the outcome as well. He smiled and said to Wanshitong, "Actually, as long as the Demon Lord Reincarnation disappears, the magic power of the Demon Relic will also vanish, turning into an ordinary glass ball. By then, the energy of this Bagua Formation will gradually deplete and eventually dissolve on its own."
In contrast, permanently preserving the Demon Relic may not be a bad idea. As long as the Demon Lord Reincarnation exists, there is always a danger associated with the Demon Relic. There is also a more ideal scenario: even if the Demon Lord Reincarnation obtains the Demon Relic, his heart would still be focused on Sentient Beings and not harm humanity or assist the demon realm in chaos.
However, Lingfeng no longer held any hope because he knew that every Demon Lord Reincarnation awakens their own Spell through a process of awakening, and those Spells contain the evil thoughts of the previous generation's Demon Lord Reincarnation. Therefore, each generation's awakening is accompanied by the resurgence of evil thoughts.
"Master, the Demon Relic is stored here. I have more important tasks to attend to, so I must leave the Demon Suppression Sect!" Seeing that there was already some clarity on this matter, Lingfeng said somewhat sadly.
Qingwei sighed softly and nodded silently.
The three of them walked out of the secret chamber in silence, each lost in their thoughts.
Just as they were about to return to the Main Hall, Enchanting's voice suddenly rang out from behind. Lingfeng hurriedly turned around and saw Enchanting using Lightness Skill, rushing towards him.
"Wife, why are you here?" Lingfeng quickly changed his worried expression and smiled broadly at Enchanting.
Enchanting pouted and shot a playful glance at Lingfeng. "Why can't I come?"
"Of course you can!" Lingfeng flattered as he took Enchanting's hand and asked, "Wife, aren't you going to practice today?"
In fact, Lingfeng hoped to send Enchanting away so that he could leave more smoothly. As long as Enchanting was around, his chances of sneaking away would be very slim.
"I'm not practicing today. There are only so many Spells at Water Peak; I've learned most of them already. The Incantations for those Spells are all memorized; I can practice anytime!" Enchanting tossed her hair back, exuding a pleasant fragrance.
Lingfeng was momentarily stunned, and his feelings grew stronger. He thought to himself that having Enchanting by his side, spending time together and cultivating together, might not be a bad thing. But then he considered that if this world were taken over by the demon realm, how could he live in peace?
"Well, dear, I still have things to take care of. Why don't you head back first? I'll come find you tonight!" Lingfeng rarely lied to Enchanting, but this time it was unavoidable.
"What things? Can't I help?" Enchanting asked.
"Oh, Lingfeng has some matters to attend to that are between men. What business do you have here, girl?" The all-knowing one interjected impatiently.
But Enchanting was not one to back down easily; she grabbed the all-knowing one's ear and shouted, "This is our conversation! You have no say here, old man!"
Qing couldn't help but chuckle but quickly said, "Enchanting, that's quite rude!"
Only then did Enchanting reluctantly let go.
Lingfeng had already guessed the situation; it was likely that Mu Qiu had found Enchanting and wanted her to keep Lingfeng around while also trying to hold onto the all-knowing one.
"Lingfeng, I don't care what you're doing, but right now you must come with me to a place!" Enchanting said after a moment of silence.
Lingfeng didn't think much of it; being able to spend some time alone with Enchanting before he left felt like a good enough reason to agree without hesitation.
Enchanting didn't lead him anywhere specific; she simply took Lingfeng toward Wood Peak. The all-knowing one intended to follow Lingfeng but was intimidated by Enchanting's fierce demeanor and retreated.
Along the way, the two held hands in silence, seemingly enjoying the scenery along the road.
"Enchanting, why are we coming to Wood Peak?" Lingfeng finally asked with a smile as they reached the entrance of Wood Peak.
For the sake of disciples' cultivation, the peak of Wood Peak was covered in large forests. Aside from Red Water Lake, Wood Peak was also a popular leisure spot for couples.
Enchanting smiled lightly and said softly, "Don't ask too many questions; just follow me!"
Lingfeng decided not to inquire further. He thought about how it was just a man and a woman at Wood Peak and what could possibly happen here, letting his imagination wander as he smiled foolishly.
"Since we have arrived at Wood Peak, we should first pay a visit to Mu Qiu and Shixu!" Enchanting suggested.
Lingfeng thought it made sense, and it would be a good opportunity to apologize to Mu Qiu, so he nodded and walked towards the main hall of Wood Peak.
After the disciples reported their arrival, Enchanting pulled Lingfeng into the hall. Mu Qiu was sitting on a wooden chair, looking expressionlessly at Lingfeng.
"Um, Senior Sister, I came to see you!" As soon as he entered the hall, Lingfeng said with a big smile on his face.
Mu Qiu let out a cold laugh, perfectly embodying the phrase "a smile concealing a dagger."
Lingfeng broke out in a cold sweat, feeling somewhat at a loss as he looked at Enchanting.
Enchanting glanced at Lingfeng, shook her head helplessly, and gently placed her hand on Lingfeng's shoulder. Then, without warning, she pushed him forward.
It seemed that Mu Qiu had already plotted with Enchanting; as soon as Enchanting made her move, Mu Qiu flew up from her chair and pushed both hands toward Lingfeng with all her might. Suddenly, a black object flew toward Lingfeng.
Lingfeng was completely unprepared. He never expected that Enchanting would conspire with Mu Qiu to set him up. There was no time to dodge; he saw the black object growing larger until it transformed into a wooden cage that enveloped him completely.
"Senior Sister, what are you doing?" Lingfeng tried to break free from the cage, but it had already been reinforced by Mu Qiu's magic, and he couldn't break through it at all.
"There's no need to struggle. This cage took me three years to craft; with your little bit of magic, you won't be able to break it!" Mu Qiu said proudly.
Lingfeng looked at Enchanting in confusion, but when Enchanting met his gaze, she quickly lowered her head as if she had seen a blinding light.
"Enchanting, why are you doing this too?" Lingfeng didn't get angry; he believed there must be a reason for Enchanting's actions.
However, the calmer Lingfeng's tone became, the more painful it was for Enchanting. She finally couldn't hold back her tears and sobbed, "Shixu, you and Wanshitong want to leave here and abandon us, so Shixu and I came up with this plan. We can't bind Wanshitong, so we could only trick you into coming here; that way you won't leave!"
Enchanting cried like a rain-soaked flower, making her look both lovable and pitiable.
Seeing Enchanting crying so hard, Lingfeng didn't dare to use a harsh tone. He quickly said with concern, "Wife, please don't cry! I'm not leaving for good; I'm just temporarily going to take care of something very important. As my wife, you should support me!"
Enchanting cried uncontrollably, saying, "But, but Mu Qiu and Shixu, what you are doing is very dangerous. I'm scared, I'm scared..." Before she could finish expressing her fears, she burst into tears again.
Lingfeng felt overwhelmed and finally realized who the instigator was, casting a resentful glance at Mu Qiu. Mu Qiu lost her bravado; her previously smug expression turned into that of a sheep, not daring to look at Lingfeng even once.
"Senior Sister, if you want Big Brother to accompany you, I can help persuade him. But do you know what we are going to do? Why encourage Enchanting? Is it really okay to take advantage of Enchanting?" Lingfeng finally couldn't hold back his anger. Although his words were calm, the fury in his heart was evident.
Since things had come to this point, Mu Qiu seemed to have made up her mind. She looked directly at Lingfeng, her eyes red as she said, "How could I not know what you are planning? You just want to stop Demon Lord Reincarnation, right? Have you thought about it? Just the two of you, an old and a young, what ability do you have to contend with Spirit Sect? And why do you think you can stop Demon Lord Reincarnation? There are so many self-proclaimed righteous cultivators out there; why do you have to wade into this murky water?"
There were many high-level cultivators in the Cultivation Realm, but few actively stepped forward to take on such tasks. They only wanted to do their best when the real battle began. However, before that could happen, there had to be sacrifices made by those who would lead the charge, and those sacrifices would be Lingfeng and Wan Shitong.
Lingfeng had not considered the consequences. Reflecting on his years in the Cultivation Realm, he had intended to cultivate quietly with the goal of saving Ling Xueer. But he never expected that such a significant mission would fall upon him.
After a moment of silence, the hall of Wood Peak echoed with the sobs of Mu Qiu and Enchanting.
Lingfeng sighed deeply, looking at Enchanting with a calm expression. He said, "If we want to ensure more people's safety, then someone must be willing to sacrifice. Moreover, I released Monkey Head from the Demon Suppression Sect, so I have the responsibility to bring him back. Enchanting, if you truly love me, you should feel proud of what I am doing instead of being afraid of those terrible things happening to me."
Enchanting paused for a moment before lifting her head to look at Lingfeng. She hesitated as she glanced at Mu Qiu, unable to see her expression. Finally, she slowly said, "Shixu, why not let Lingfeng go?"
"No way!" Mu Qiu suddenly shouted as if she had gone mad. "Absolutely not! I have already endured the pain of separation once; I will not let Lingfeng and Wan Shitong take risks. Absolutely not!"
