Chapter 10 — The Secret Behind the Jade

I woke up! In the darkness, a cold, sticky, malevolent aura was quietly spreading into the room like an invisible tide. This aura... is very similar to the previous resentment from Phong Ma Hap. But it's much bigger and more terrible! It's like there are countless unjust souls screaming in my ears! The female housekeeping disciples sleeping in the same room began to frown in pain in their dreams, but no one woke up. The jade pendant is so hot that it makes my chest hurt! The thought spread frantically: "Run! Leave this place! Go behind the mountain! Go to that cave!" The cave? The abandoned cave in the old animal training ground, where I found the Phong Ma Hap? “Hurry!” The thought urged, carrying an irrefutable command. I gritted my teeth, lifted the blanket, and gingerly got out of bed. The cold air seemed to sense my movements and immediately rushed towards me! The jade pendant immediately emitted a dazzling white light, forming a thin layer of barrier around my body! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The cold air hitting the barrier made a sound like it was being corroded! The layer of light trembled violently, sometimes bright and sometimes dark! The idea from the jade pendant is full of difficulties: "Hold steady! Run quickly!" I immediately rushed out of the room! As soon as I walked out the door, I heard several mournful screams echoing from afar, tearing apart the quiet night! Immediately afterwards, the sound of magic broke out, and screams filled with panic! "Demonic energy! It's an erosion of demonic energy!" "A disciple has been possessed by a demon! Aaaa—!" "The entire sect realm! The entire sect realm!" The entire outer sect immediately fell into chaos! In the darkness, dimly appeared disciples infected with demonic energy, their eyes glowing red, rushing at people around them like wild beasts! Screams, fighting, crying echoed everywhere! The scene is like hell on earth! I'm scared to death! The barrier from the jade pendant is being eroded by the demonic energy, the light is getting dimmer! “Run!” The idea from the jade pendant was weak but still full of determination. I tried my best to run towards the back of the mountain! On the road, I saw many housekeeping disciples possessed by demonic energy, screaming and rushing towards me! The jade pendant flashed, emitting a weak stream of power that pushed them away. But from all four directions, more and more dark shadows are coming! The barrier is about to collapse! The temperature of the jade pendant is also dropping rapidly... It's about to not be able to hold on anymore! Just when I was about to despair— Whoosh! A figure in moonlight white clothing, cold yet noble, suddenly appeared in front of me like a meteor tearing through the darkness! It is Van Triet Immortal Venerable! The person was floating in mid-air, his whole body radiating a gentle yet immense white aura. Where that light swept through, the thick and sticky demonic energy melted like ice and snow meeting fire, making a "sizzling" sound and quickly dispersing! The demonized impurities rushing towards me were swept by that light, their entire bodies emitted black smoke, they screamed miserably and fell to the ground, convulsing non-stop. The chaotic scene was quelled immediately. Van Triet's eyes swept across the entire devastated outer gate, frowning slightly. Then it stopped on top of me. When I saw the weak white light barrier surrounding me, those cold eyes seemed to flash through an extremely complex emotion. There was surprise, there was understanding, and there was also a ray of… as if “this is true”. The person didn't say a word, just raised his hand, a stream of pure white light shot straight towards me. I thought you were planning to attack the jade pendant's barrier. But that light gently merged into that barrier that was about to break. The layer of light immediately stabilized again, even becoming a little more solid. Ngoc Boi seemed to "hmph" and the thought came: "Worrying about so many things!" But it does not deny that power. The ancestors did not look

me too. His eyes looked towards the depths behind the mountain - where the demonic energy was boiling most intensely. "The source is in the forbidden area." His cold voice echoed throughout the chaotic outer gate: "All disciples, form a defensive formation. Elders follow me, suppress the demonic energy!" Having said that, his figure turned into a beam of light, shooting straight towards the forbidden area behind the mountain! Several powerful auras also emerged from the inner gate one after another, quickly chasing after them! Thanks to Tien Venerable's action and clear orders, the chaotic outer gate began to restore order. The surviving elders and deacons quickly organized their disciples to form a defensive formation. I took advantage of the chaos and relied on the barrier of the jade pendant to continue rushing towards the abandoned animal training school behind the mountain! That's where I discovered Phong Ma Hap! That's the goal of the jade pendant! I stumbled and staggered, running to the place. This area was far from the main battlefield, the magical energy was less, but coldness and malice still filled the air. The light barrier of the jade pendant has completely dimmed. "Below! Come inside!" The thought urged, filled with impatience. I quickly found the entrance to the collapsed cave. The cave entrance is covered with weeds. I spread out the grass and jumped down without hesitation! “Bump!”
