    Ling Xue’s eyes lit up as she gazed at the figure within the barrier. “Not only wasn’t he consumed by the evil spirit, he actually used it to achieve a breakthrough… Suchprehension and character are truly formidable.”


    Mo Chen breathed a sigh of relief, a pleased smile on his face. “Sword Sect, we’ve found a treasure.”


    At this moment, David slowly sheathed his sword and stood.


    His aura was several times stronger than before. Though a faint ck aura still lingered around him, his eyes were clear and bright, without the slightest sign of possessedness.


    He nced down at his hands, sensing the perfect fusion of spiritual energy and evil spirit within him. Every gesture carried a sharp edge.


    The stone tablet of the sword tomb lit up again, the ancient characters flowing faster, as if approving of his understanding.


    As the evil spirit subsided, the sword barrier separating the inner and outer realms gradually thinned.


    “Master, it’s time for us to head to the ck Wind Mountains,” David said to Mo Chen.


    Mo Chen nodded and said, “That’s good. Your strength has risen to the ninth level of the Loose Immortal Realm. With the Sword Saint’s inheritance, taking on the eighth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm shouldn’t be a problem.”


    Hu Mazi excitedly said, “David, with your breakthrough, we can finally settle ounts with the Evil Dao Hall! This time, we must rescue the souls of my Hu family!”


    Hu Mazi knew that the stronger David’s strength, the greater the chance of rescuing the souls of their Hu family!


    “David, although you’re not weak now, I feel you should retreat and cultivate for a while. Even if you’re at the ninth level of the Loose Immortal Realm, it’s still a futile attempt to deal with the Evil Dao Hall!” Mo Chen advised!


    “Master, I…”


    “Don’t call me Master anymore. I’m afraid your current strength surpasses mine…” Mo Chen quickly waved his hand!


    It’s not that Mo Chen doesn’t want to take David in, but David is too evil. He’s not worthy of being David’s master!


    It’s only been a short time, and David’s strength has skyrocketed.


    “Master, a lot of my sword skills were taught by you. It’s only right that I call you Master.”


    “I’m going to the ck Wind Mountains just to scout out the situation, so there won’t be any danger,”


    David said!


    Mo Chen pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll go with you.”


    “Ling Xue, take your fellow apprentices back to Sword Saint City. Don’t run around during this time. That Divine Sword Vi won’t let you off the hook.”


    Mo Chen sent Ling Xue back with her, and he followed David and the others towards the ck Wind Mountains!


    ck Wind Mountains, Evil Dao Hall Branch.


    In a gloomy hall, an old man in a ck robe sat cross-legged. On the altar before himy dozens of ck soul urns, within which countless wronged souls could be vaguely seen struggling.


    “Haha, David, are you finallying?” The ck-robed elder opened his eyes, a strange red light flickering in them. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time…”


    The ck Wind Mountains are shrouded in a perpetual ck aura of evil spirits. Monsters roam the mountains, and countless bizarre formations and traps exist


    within. Ordinary cultivators dare not venture further. David, Mo Chen, and Hu Mazi carefully navigated the mountains. Hu Mazi frequently used his Pathfinder and Evil-Clearing Talismans to dispel the surrounding evil spirits.


    “The evil spirit in the ck Wind Mountains is even stronger than I imagined,”


    Hu Mazi frowned. “My Evil-Clearing Talisman can only barely protect us within a radius of three meters.


    It’s probably useless further in.” Mo Chen said, “The Evil Dao Hall’s branch is definitely in the core area of the mountains. The evil spirit is thickest and most dangerous there. We must proceed with caution.”


    David nodded and activated his Concentration Heart Technique, desperately absorbing the evil spirit, reducing its concentration around them.


    This,bined with Hu Mazi’s Evil-Clearing Talismans, formed a doubleyer of protection.


    David couldn’t absorb and refine all the evil spirits here. This would take time, but David didn’t have time.


    They had to rescue the souls of the Humazi people as soon as possible, and they were not sure whether the souls of the Humazi people still existed.
