Chapter 538 The Netherworld's Pursuit
Through Jianxin's exploration, Meng Bai discovered that all the staff in the entire Fusheng Building, whether they were waiters, chefs, waiters, or shopkeepers, had been possessed by demons.
The demonic intent in their bodies is lurking very deeply. During the day, these possessed people are no different from ordinary people. If Meng Bai's sword power had not reached the level of seeing the big picture from the smallest details and reached the pinnacle, he would not have been able to detect these possessed people.
"Although these people have been possessed by demons, there is no pale power attached to their bodies. The real source of the demonic energy is in the basement of Fusheng Building, and there seems to be a spiritual flower in the basement."
"It is because of it that the demonic intent of the person possessed in Fu Sheng Tower has not erupted."
"There are too many people watching during the day, so I'd better wait until nightfall before taking action."
.......
At night, at 11:45 p.m.
The door of Fu Sheng Building has been closed, and most of the residents inside have gone to bed.
Meng Bai gently pushed open the door and came to the center of the lobby.
Just as he was about to use the earth escape technique to sneak underground, Meng Bai suddenly frowned and moved his body slightly to the right.
In an instant, the sword flashed, and a black shadow attacked Meng Bai from behind.
However, Meng Bai moved half a step to the right in advance, and the sword missed the target as expected.
Meng Bai raised his eyebrows, looked at the man in night clothes and asked, "Who are you? Why did you assassinate me?"
Although this person was wearing a nightgown and wrapped thickly, Meng Bai could still tell at a glance that there was a woman under the nightgown.
Of course, it was not because this person was a woman that Meng Bai did not kill her immediately. The reason why Meng Bai did not kill her immediately was that this woman had a kind of netherworld magical power.
This Netherworld magic power is of extremely high quality, unlike the magic power of this immortal-level female cultivator herself.
The female fairy in night clothes said coldly: "Those who are possessed by the devil will die!"
In an instant, the female immortal didn't care about anything and slashed towards Meng Bai with the sword in her hand.
Seeing this, Meng Bai frowned, gathered his magic power, and with one palm, he knocked the sword out of the female immortal's hand.
"Miss, I think you have misunderstood. Meng is not possessed by a demon."
The female fairy was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Meng Bai and said, "Since you are not possessed by a demon, why are you wandering around Fusheng Tower so late at night?"
Meng Bai chuckled and said, "Miss, what's the logic behind this? If I can't sleep, can't I just walk around at night?"
The female fairy snorted coldly: "Looking at your skills, I'm afraid it's not as simple as just strolling around."
"Could it be that you are here for Su and Minghua as well?"
"Su and Minghua? What do you mean, young lady?"
Female Immortal: "You don't know? Then what is your purpose in coming to Fu Sheng Tower?"
Meng Bai chuckled and said, "Meng just wants to investigate the matter of Fu Sheng Tower being possessed by a demon."
"I see that you seem to know that someone in Fusheng Tower is possessed by a demon. I wonder if you could tell me what you know."
The female fairy sneered and said, "Why would this fairy tell you so much for no reason?"
Meng Bai touched his chin and said, "The Suhe Minghua that the girl mentioned, is its shape similar to that of a lotus, with dark purple petals and the power of laws contained in its texture."
"How do you know?" The fairy queen frowned.
Meng Bai smiled and said, "If that's the case, I might know where this flower is."
"How about you make a deal with me? I'll tell you where Su and Minghua are, and you'll tell me what you know about Fusheng Tower?"
The female fairy used her magic power and raised her hand. The sword returned to her hand and pointed at Meng Bai.
"Tell me, where are Su and Minghua?"
Meng Bai sighed and said, "It seems that the girl is not going to cooperate."
The female fairy sneered and said, "I don't trust you."
"What does the girl trust?"
"This Immortal Lord only trusts the sword in his hand."
Meng Bai took a look at the middle-grade spiritual sword in the female fairy's hand and said slowly: "In front of the strong, the sword will also betray."
The vast sword spirit of mountains and seas emerged from Meng Bai's body, and the middle-grade spirit sword in the female fairy's hand began to tremble slightly. Then Meng Bai made a slight move, and the middle-grade spirit sword in the female fairy's hand left her and was taken away by Meng Bai.
Meng Bai played with the middle-grade spirit sword in his hand, pointed at the female fairy monarch with his backhand finger, exuded a powerful pressure, and chuckled: "Look, your sword is mine now."
Under the pressure of Master Dongxu, the female fairy monarch's body was like being filled with lead and stone, unable to move. Her face changed slightly and she said, "This is impossible. Nanlin Fairyland clearly refuses entry to powerful warriors above the seventh level who practice the new method."
Meng Bai placed the middle-grade spirit sword on the female fairy's neck and chuckled, "Now the girl's life is in my hands, can you tell me?"
"Of course, I advise you not to tell lies. I have a unique way of identifying liars."
The female fairy snorted reluctantly and said, "I am the fairy Tuo Tong from the Netherworld, and I have been ordered to investigate the stolen Su and Minghua."
"After many days of investigation, I found that Su Heminghua is somewhere in Fusheng Building."
"The possession of the people in Fusheng Building is also related to Su and Minghua."
"Moreover, these possessed people like to wander around at night and have no independent consciousness, so they can easily hurt people."
"Although I don't know why you are able to be active in the Nanlin Immortal Realm, please put down the sword in your hand. Once this Immortal Lord dies, the Netherworld will definitely conduct a thorough investigation."
"The Netherworld is different from the Nanlin Immortal Realm. Once you offend the Netherworld, you will not have an easy time even if you are extremely powerful."
Meng Bai put away the spirit sword, threw it back to Immortal Lord Tuotong, and chuckled, "Please rest assured, Immortal Lord Tuotong, I have no intention of killing you."
"Meng has something else to do, so I won't bother Immortal Lord Tuotong."
Then Meng Bai made some hand gestures and performed the earth escape technique, going underground in Fu Sheng Building.
Immortal Tuotong raised his eyebrows when he saw this: "Earth Escape Technique?"
"Could it be that Su and Minghua are underground?"
Immortal Lord Tuotong also quickly used the magic of escaping underground to go downwards.
.......
After Meng Bai used the earth escape technique to sneak for several miles, he arrived at a cave under the Fusheng Building.
In the center of the cave, there was a formation, and Su and Minghua were placed in the center of the formation.
Meng Bai could tell at a glance that the function of this formation was to amplify the effects of Su and Ming flowers, clear the mind and soothe the spirit, prevent the cultivators from becoming irritable and easily angered, and to a certain extent suppress the evil intentions of those possessed by demons in the Fu Sheng Tower.
Not long after Meng Bai entered the cave, Immortal Lord Tuotong followed him here.
After she saw the scene inside the cave, she said in surprise: "Su Heminghua, we have been looking for it for so many days, and it turns out it is underground."
Immortal Lord Tuotong stepped forward, ready to take back Su and Minghua from the cave formation.
At this moment, Meng Bai reminded: "Master Tuotong, I advise you not to touch it."
Immortal Lord Tuotong turned around and asked in a serious tone, "What do you mean, sir? Do you also want this Suhe Minghua?"
Meng Bai shook his head slightly and said, "The Suhe Minghua is an eighth-level spiritual material. Although it is precious, the one in front of you has been contaminated and is not worth coveting."
On the surface, Su Heminghua in the formation seemed to be doing fine, but Meng Bai once again used the power of his sword to sense carefully and discovered that the source of the evil energy in the cave also came from Su Heminghua.
