"you?"
Yue Qingzhu opened her eyes wide and looked at Xuan Mo, unable to believe it. She could never have imagined that this matter was actually caused by one of their own family members.
Mu Qing and others were also looking at Xuan Mo, not understanding what this old guy was up to. According to their original expectations, Xuan Mo would definitely not admit this. They were still thinking, if the other party refused to admit it, how should they make him admit it.
However, the result was far beyond their expectations. The other party actually admitted it so frankly.
"What on earth is this old guy up to?"
In secret, Wu Chen was also surprised. This old guy did not play by the rules, and it was hard to figure out what he was planning.
"Why do you want to take the seal stone?" Yue Qingzhu asked with a serious face. She wanted to know the reason.
"Why, that's a good question."
Xuan Mo suddenly pointed at the dazzling white flame and said, "Just for this thing."
With just one sentence, everyone's attention was drawn to the dazzling white flame. They had originally seen this ball of flame, but they did not recognize it and had no idea what it was.
"You don't know what this thing is? Well, I'll tell you what it is now."
Pointing at the dazzling white flame, Xuan Mo said in a deep voice: "This thing is called Hell Lotus. It is an evil flame that comes from the depths of hell. It has extremely terrible destructive power."
Hell Lotus
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, because they had never heard of the Hell Lotus.
However, those knowledgeable elders fell into deep thought, because they seemed to have heard of the name Hell Lotus.
Xia Youlan asked: "Elder, what is the Hell Lotus?"
Huang Yue thought for a moment and said, "Hell Lotus, this is a kind of flame recorded in ancient books. This flame is very overbearing and can burn anything in the world. Even the soul of a cultivator will be turned into nothingness under the burning of this flame."
Everyone's faces changed. It could burn anything in the world, not even the soul. All these were enough to illustrate the horror of the Hell Lotus.
Elder Yunyue added, "The Hell Lotus, also known as the Nine Nether Evil Fire, is immortal. It is rumored to be condensed from the souls of the evil ghosts in hell. It is extremely evil. If an ordinary person touches it, he will die. As for cultivators, if they touch it, they will most likely fall into demons and turn into evil ghosts."
Everyone's faces changed drastically, and they couldn't help but step back a little. Looking at the ball of dazzling white flame, endless fear welled up in their eyes. They had never expected that this seemingly inconspicuous dazzling white flame had such terrifying energy behind it.
"However, generally speaking, the Hell Lotus always appears as black fire. What's going on with this ball of fire?"
The reason why they failed to recognize it was because the color of this flame was completely inconsistent with the legendary Hell Lotus. The difference was so great that even someone like Wu Chen, who had seen all kinds of flames, failed to recognize it at first glance, right
Xuan Mo went on to say: "I discovered this Hell Lotus by chance in this Ghost Blood Ridge. When I recognized it as the Hell Lotus, I knew that it must not be allowed to exist in the world, so I dealt with it for a while, trying to destroy it. However, the power of this Hell Lotus is incredibly great. It has been growing in this Ghost Blood Ridge for thousands of years, and the evil power it has condensed is already extraordinary. Even I cannot destroy it, but it is impossible to let it continue to grow. With no other choice, I thought of the Sealing Stone, brought it in, and suppressed the Hell Lotus here to prevent it from continuing to absorb evil energy and continue to grow."
So that's how it is.
After listening to Xuan Mo's words, everyone suddenly realized that this Hell Lotus was so evil that it should be suppressed, otherwise it would definitely become a disaster.
"Grand Elder, I'm so sorry. Qingzhu misunderstood you just now. Please forgive me, Grand Elder."
After the explanation from the Grand Elder, Yue Qingzhu suddenly understood. No wonder the Grand Elder wanted to take the Sealing Stone. It turned out that it was to suppress such an evil thing as the Hell Lotus.
The other people in Tianxuan Holy Land also had guilt on their faces. They actually wronged their supreme elder. They deserved to die.
Mu Qing and the others' faces changed. They had not expected that this matter would have such a dramatic turn. This was greatly beyond their expectations.
"Is that true?"
Secretly, Wu Chen smiled in his heart. Xuan Mo's lies could fool these fools, but they could not fool him at all.
Xuan Mo bowed to everyone and said, "My fellow Taoists, I have now suppressed the Hell Lotus with the Sealing Stone. Originally, I wanted to return the Sealing Stone to the entrance of the passage after the Hell Lotus was destroyed. However, the power of the Hell Lotus is extraordinary. Even if I suppress it with the Sealing Stone, it still has an extremely powerful force. So I ask everyone to join hands and work together to completely destroy the evil Hell Lotus and eliminate this great harm for my Dongxuan Region and even the Tianwu Continent."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes were once again focused on the Hell Lotus. They were shocked. They had not expected that the power of this thing was so terrifying. Even after being suppressed by the Sealing Stone, it still had such terrifying strength.
"Master, what you said is true. Killing demons and eliminating evil is the job of practitioners like us."
"Yes, yes. Even if the Master doesn't say anything, we must work hard to destroy this evil thing. We must not let this evil thing continue to exist and harm the world. Don't you agree?"
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Everyone nodded, and they were very excited, wishing they could destroy this evil thing immediately.
"He wants to use everyone's power to help him refine this Hell Lotus. What a good plan."
Wu Chen didn't believe the old guy's nonsense at all. He understood as soon as he heard it. The old guy didn't want to destroy the Hell Lotus. He just wanted to use the power of everyone to help him refine the Hell Lotus.
At this time, Yue Qingzhu flew to the sealing stone and the Hell Lotus, took a look, but didn't see anything special, so he stretched out his hand and wanted to test the power of the Hell Lotus.
However, when her power touched the Hell Lotus, a flash of light appeared on the Hell Lotus, and a powerful force spread out, instantly shaking her away.
