Fang Yu was entranced by a mysterious blue-purple lotus, causing him to lose his vision and nearly his mind. He was saved by Guan Anxuan's swift actions, but discovered his companions, including Luo Jianqing, were trapped in dark, absorbing spheres.

However, Luo Jianqing’s expression was quite calm, as if he was imprisoned, yet also as if he was meditating.

The hand holding the sword’s hilt seemed unmoved, yet also seemed to have already drawn the sword from its sheath.

Most importantly, the black sphere imprisoning Luo Jianqing contained a liquid that was not murky, but clear like green lake water, even bubbling incessantly as if boiling.

This situation was evidently completely different from those around him.

Even the vine that climbed onto the surface of his sphere was a lush green vine, not a black vine.

What exactly is going on?

Clearly, just a moment ago he saw the Green and Purple Lotus bloom, watched the eyeball roll down, and was rescued by everyone. Then the next moment, he realized everything that had happened afterward was an illusion; he had been captured by the black sphere since the lotus bloomed. The others were similar, only Daoist Qing Yan seemed to have foreseen it all, handling the pressure with ease.

As Fang Yu processed the situation, he had already reached Guan Anxuan.

Compared to the others, Guan Anxuan’s situation seemed more critical; the black lotus had already begun to grow, and was about to fully bloom.

As for Luo Jianqing’s side, it appeared somewhat unclear to others; recklessly rescuing him might not be advisable. It might be better to leave such an expert to Daoist Qing Yan’s handling.

After all, if something really did happen, with Daoist Qing Yan’s strength, it would be enough to control the situation and handle someone as formidable as Luo Jianqing.

The rescue team could not afford to lose even one more member, as losing one would mean losing another chance of safely escaping.

So if he could, Fang Yu still wanted to save people.

His arm transformed into a blade, the Bone Blade slashed down.

Clang!!

The black sphere trapping Guan Anxuan was surprisingly tough.

Fang Yu’s strike did nothing; the black sphere remained unscathed!

Fang Yu frowned, enveloping himself with Bone Armor, and tried again.

Slash—

Clang!!

The Bone Blade bounced back, and upon examination, the black sphere was still intact, without even a trace left; it was unbelievably hard!

Fang Yu looked at this situation in astonishment, then turned to look over at Daoist Qing Yan.

He saw Daoist Qing Yan placing both hands on the surface of the black sphere, the Spirit’s power rapidly moving over its surface, as if catalyzing and stimulating something, then...

"Break!!!"

Boom!!

Dongfang Aotian’s disheveled figure tumbled out from the damaged black sphere.

"...I’ve become...I’ve become...Yun, dying by my hand is good for you..."

Dongfang Aotian muttered something while spewing Black Water, his mental state appearing quite abnormal.

Though Daoist Qing Yan appeared clearly fatigued, he immediately moved to rescue Fatty Jia.

Fang Yu seemed to have gained some understanding.

He mimicked Daoist Qing Yan, placing his hands with a slap on the surface of Guan Anxuan’s black sphere.

Compared to others, Guan Anxuan’s sphere deteriorated the most severely. Yet, oddly, Daoist Qing Yan didn’t come here first to solve the crisis but saved those in lighter trouble first.

In a sense, Guan Anxuan seemed to be the one abandoned, holding the lowest position within the team...

Fang Yu closed his eyes, perceiving the details of the black sphere while letting his thoughts wander.

Vitality.

Within the black sphere, Fang Yu sensed vitality, continuous vitality, exuberant vitality, a vitality brewed by consuming human nutrients!

This feeling...the sensation of flowing against the current, the sense of convergence at a point...

Fang Yu opened his eyes, looking upwards.

At the top of Guan Anxuan’s black sphere, the core of that black lotus had slowly opened...a black-red eye.

At that moment, like a living creature, that eye was curiously staring down at Fang Yu.

An influx of information, like what Ding Hui often did, directly transmitted into Fang Yu’s mind.

It was a chaotic linguistic message but able to precisely convert into a meaning Fang Yu could understand.

’This sacrifice belongs to me.’

Sacrifice?

How arrogant, let me see how capable you truly are!

Fang Yu chuckled coldly, instantly channeling the power of the Believer into the black sphere!

Sizzle sizzle!

In just a moment, as if erratic neural currents, the previously orderly sensation of countless gears in motion and exuberant flow abruptly became jammed like a stuck mechanism.

The more intricate a thing is, the more serious the consequences of a minor error in its details will be.

This momentary pause caused the flow of life force within the black sphere to halt, like a broken stream, making the black-red pupils on the black lotus abruptly close their eyes, and even the black lotus drooped as if it had lost its energy.

Fang Yu’s face showed a hint of joy.

So that’s how it is!

The power of the Believers can sever the flow of this thing, creating a flaw in the otherwise perfect and seamless black sphere.

The next thing to do becomes simple...

"Slash!!!"

Fang Yu shouted loudly, drew out the Demon Sword, and with a heavy swing, slashed downward hard.

Clang!!!

After a loud noise, a thin, tiny crack appeared in the black sphere imprisoning Guan Anxuan.

A small amount of black liquid flowed out along this tiny crack, tracing the smooth surface of the black sphere.

"...How...?"

"...How could it be...?"

"You..."

Surprisingly, the black liquid that flowed out actually emitted the voice of Guan Anxuan!

Fang Yu instinctively stepped back two steps, only to see the wilted black lotus at the top of the black sphere stand upright again, and the black-red pupils on it fixedly staring at Fang Yu.

A flow of information came.

’Destroy the covenant, ruin the sacrificial rite, spoil the offering... you will face calamity.’

When the message ended, Fang Yu saw the black-red pupils close their eyes once more. The black lotus, serving as a vessel, wilted and shortly turned to ash, disappearing without a trace.

"What did you do?!"

From behind, the sharp, elevated voice of Daoist Qing Yan arose, sounding almost out of control.

In front of Fang Yu, the black vine entwined around the black sphere was quickly withering. Meanwhile, the black sphere imprisoning Guan Anxuan began cracking rapidly like sugar-glass.

The black liquid flowed out like a tide, even pushing Guan Anxuan out of the sphere.

"What did you do!!"

The voice of Daoist Qing Yan grew closer from behind.

This was no longer a loss of composure but was edging on fury and an impending outburst!

Fang Yu felt a thud in his heart.

Could it be that I messed up? Was everything before this all part of Daoist Qing Yan’s plan??

While Fang Yu was stunned, pondering a solution, Guan Anxuan, who was drenched, slowly awakened on the ground.

Long, wet eyelashes blinked, revealing a dazed, confused look, and then a visible expression of ecstasy as she suddenly... threw herself into Fang Yu’s arms!

"It’s you!!! You’re still alive!!"

Saying some incomprehensible words!

Fang Yu almost wanted to slap this woman across the face, to knock her to the ground and clear her head.

But right now, there are more pressing matters that need explanation to someone.

Fang Yu pushed aside Guan Anxuan, who looked dumbfounded, as if in disbelief.

With a forced grin, he turned his head down slightly and said.

"Daoist Qing Yan... it seems I may have messed something up."

Peeking through a slit in his barely opened eyes, he saw that Daoist Qing Yan’s face was flushed with anger, and her fists were clenched tightly.

Had it not been for the necessity of Fang Yu in this operation and Daoist Qing Yan’s composure, Fang Yu would have suspected that the Daoist was about to let loose and tear him apart.

However, before either could make another statement, the incomprehensible woman Guan Anxuan suddenly rushed between them and even reached out to shield Fang Yu behind her.

She glared fiercely at Daoist Qing Yan, her expression vicious, yet the words she spoke left Fang Yu stupefied.

"Who are you! Do not harm my man!"

My... man?

What... are you talking about?

Big sister, are you sick? Is your mind addled?

Moreover... do you not recognize Daoist Qing Yan anymore??

Fang Yu truly doubted whether this big sister had been possessed by a demon, but judging from the health bar, there was no change whatsoever, with no relation to any demon skin whatsoever.
