At the critical moment, Li Ye acted swiftly.

He didn't expect to completely block the divine techniques; he gently used the branches of Jianmu to deflect the path slightly.

That was enough.

"Is there something strange about this guy?"

"Can't kill him."

Yang Ke Dao You and Ying Ying immediately pulled back. They trusted Li Ye and wouldn't suddenly stop without reason; surely, something had been discovered.

At this moment, the Yang Sha below was already awakened. It suddenly raised its head, and its face, which should have been spirited, was now filled with circulating black evil qi.

Without knowing how, it pulled out a rusty bow and arrow, instantly drawing the bowstring to a full moon, releasing countless black light arrows that split continuously, and when they reached the three, they were overwhelming.

Every attack was at the Golden Core level.

"Friends, don't panic!"

Suddenly, a male voice sounded, followed by Li Ye seeing a fist wearing a finger tiger extending from the void, swiftly punching toward the countless light arrows in the distance.

"Boom!"

An even more terrifying fierce qi, accompanied by a wind stronger than tiger's roar, instantly shattered those light arrows.

A tall figure walked out of the space torn open by the finger tiger, standing in front of the three, not forgetting to boastfully show off, revealing white teeth, especially the tiger teeth shining under the spiritual light.

He said, "How's that?"

"..."

Not bad!

"Who needs you to save?"

Ying Ying seemed particularly annoyed with the tall youth, but upon scanning around, she saw no lingering threats, plus Li Ye had stopped them before, indicating the Yang Sha below couldn't be killed, leaving her secretly angry.

Seeing her speechless made the tall youth even happier.

He boldly introduced himself, "You two know me, but True Man Lingye doesn't. I'm Li Yuan from the Enlightened Race."

Actually, there was no need for him to introduce himself like that, for Li Ye saw through the panel—

[Name]: Mountain and Sea Divine Beast · Enlightened Beast · Li Yuan

[Mood]: Proud, Happy.

[State]: Passed the ancestral blood legacy of the Enlightened Race, experiencing atavism, but due to recent excessive evil qi absorption, it might affect the revival of ancestral blood.

[Bindable]: Any "Immortal Plant" from Kunlun Nursery.

Li Ye blinked.

Immortal Plant?

An Immortal Plant from Kunlun Nursery.

Speaking of which, the Enlightened Beast seems to guard the nursery, right?

He mused randomly and then smiled slightly, "Thanks, Daoist Li Yuan."

Li Yuan, however, gazed at him strangely for quite a while, then whispered, "Strange, why doesn't your body have a trace of evil qi? It's almost like you're not a cultivator of the Righteous Path."

"Hmm?"

Are you mistaken? Why would a cultivator of the Righteous Path have evil qi?

Yang Ke Dao You frowned, "My junior's teachings are peculiar, not the same as us constantly vanquishing demons—just recently, I heard you stormed a Demon Sect's mountain gate, slaying three thousand demonic cultivators inside. Why is there so little evil qi on you?"

"Oh." Li Yuan looked at the Yang Sha below and casually replied, "Just three thousand demonic cultivators, and if the Spirit Refining Sect hadn't stopped me, I could have wiped out a few thousand more.

Slaying one might avoid a disaster they could cause in the mortal world. Profitable business, indeed."

"Daoist friend, excessive slaughter might affect the pure spirit qi on you." Li Ye couldn't help but say, "Although the Enlightened Race guards Kunlun Nursery, inheriting pure spirit qi from ancient times, there are times when it cannot encompass everything.

I see that not only does your body lack resentment qi, but the pure spirit qi is somewhat dissipated."

He also counted himself as friends with the Enlightened Race, so he couldn't bear to see him ruin his path like this, especially since the marketplace's construction needs his help. He might as well offer some advice.

It depends on how he takes it.

"..."

Li Yuan was instantly stunned.

He carefully felt the change in his spiritual power within, a heaviness in his heart, then lightly sighed and bowed to Li Ye:

"Thank True Man Lingye for the guidance."

Beside him, Yang Ke Dao You and Ying Ying were puzzled; they couldn't see what was wrong with Li Yuan at all.

"No need to be courteous; you're my senior's friend, naturally you're my friend too." Li Ye waved with magnanimity, "I'll head down; I'd appreciate it if Senior and my fellow daoists could watch over the Mica Scorpion.

Don't come down; otherwise, the Yang Sha might explode."

With that, he leapt directly into the pit.

He landed lightly atop the grime of tribulation ash, then looked off into the distance.

His clear eyes were filled with compassion, reflecting the Yang Sha completely engulfed by evil qi.

Once, Li Ye helped relieve those hungry ghosts in Dongcang Town, and only the spiritual power on him wouldn't trigger the Yang Sha's hostility.

"Huh..."

A sound akin to suffocation emanated from the Yang Sha's throat; a glimmer of desire and astonishment flashed in its eyes, corroded by evil qi.

"Don't worry."

Li Ye already took out the leaf of the Emotion Song, placing it by his lips and blowing gently, with each step, tribulation ash gave rise to spiritually powered willow branches.

The willow branches lightly encircled the Yang Sha, transferring the evil qi that invaded it, channeling it through their bodies to Li Ye who approached slowly.

This was his sincerity, as well as his method of redemption.

Certainly, he knew many ways of purification and transferring resentment qi, but none were as convenient as transferring it to himself through the Emotion Song, also the least harmful to the Yang Sha.
