Ebony Sword, Sealing Mistress!

Senior Brother Mingshan and Senior Sister Mingyue were both sent flying by Mistress's long hair.

They were like kites with severed strings, coughing up blood.

The two of them crashed heavily into the wall of the Stone Workshop Eatery, smashing two gaps in the wall.

The intense pain caused the brother and sister to faint on the spot.

At this moment, only Li Yan was left to face this Nine-Foot Mistress alone.

He watched as the 'tall' Mistress slowly turned around to look at Li Yan.

Her entire face was obscured by black hair, and sobs came from within the dense strands.

The Nine-Foot Mistress slowly approached Li Yan's room in a floating manner.

Upon closer inspection, she wasn't floating, but rather her long hair was wriggling on the ground, pushing Mistress forward horizontally.

"This is troublesome."

He never expected that Senior Brother and Senior Sister would be sent flying by the Nine-Foot Mistress in a single exchange.

He was hoping that Mingshan and Mingyue could attract the aggro for him, but now he had to face her alone.

He could hear the crying outside the door getting closer and closer, and countless strands of black hair drilled through the doors and windows, beginning to probe into the room.

Li Yan looked around, and all around him were Mistress's hair strands, blocking all his escape routes.

The Spirit Suppressing Talisman in the room had already burned to ashes, and the room was full of flying ash.

Li Yan held the Ebony Sword in his hand, pinching the Lamp Burning Method hand seal.

Mistress's wailing echoed in the room, and Li Yan took a deep breath.

Here it comes!

The wooden door was pushed open by the hair strands, and a foul, baleful aura rushed towards him.

Li Yan, facing the strong wind, had to take two steps back.

And the girl named Xin Zhi beside him fainted on the spot under the intense aura of Deathly Yin.

At this moment, Li Yan was truly alone.

"Light!"

As Li Yan chanted the spell silently, he directly ignited the Nine-Foot Mistress outside the door.

But there was a clear difference in their levels.

Li Yan was a sixth-level cultivator in the Blood Condensation Realm, while Mistress was in the Blood Moving Realm before she died, and she retained her previous strength after transforming into a ghostly entity.

The Lamp Lighting Technique ignited Mistress's body, but she forcibly withstood the burning with the Deathly Yin aura surrounding her.

Li Yan pinched the hand seal tightly, and golden light illuminated a golden body Dharma form!

Seeing Mistress getting closer and closer, Li Yan's lips curled up.

"Mistress, I'm sorry!"

Li Yan thrust the Ebony Sword forward!

[Deathly Yin · Ebony Sword]

[Positive Effect: When you hold the Ebony Sword, you can absorb the energy of others around you (whether living or vengeful spirits).]

He watched as an unremarkable Ebony Sword transformed into a heaven-defying artifact in Li Yan's hands.

The Ebony Sword, which originally harmed its owner and drained their blood, had its effect reversed and became a magical artifact that drained the enemy's energy!

A large amount of Deathly Yin aura poured out of the Nine-Foot Mistress, and the dense black energy continuously poured into the Ebony Sword.

The owner-harming Ebony Sword, which no one would even pick up if it fell on the ground, was now shining black, shining purple!

Under this powerful suction, the Nine-Foot Mistress let out an ear-piercing wail.

Visibly, Mistress was being sucked into the Ebony Sword bit by bit, until the moment she was sealed.

When Mistress was completely sealed into the Ebony Sword, the gale outside the house stopped, and everything returned to calm.

Only then did Li Yan let out a long sigh of relief.

He raised his hand in disbelief and looked at the Ebony Sword in his hand.

And a line of text appeared before his eyes.

[Nine-Foot Yin Immortal · Ebony Sword]

[Low Ninth Grade → Increased to Mid Sixth Grade Magical Artifact.] ```

The name of the Ebony Sword had changed, because the sword contained Mistress sealed inside, containing terrifying monstrous power.

Li Yan also didn't expect that the owner-harming Ebony Sword, which everyone hated, would become a small artifact for sealing strange entities after its effects were reversed.

Moreover, now that he held the Ebony Sword, he could feel Mistress's power flowing within the sword.

Grasping the Ebony Sword and feeling it slightly, he could clearly feel a warm current constantly pouring into his inner core.

"Interesting, Mistress has become my power bank?"

The more he studied it, the more Li Yan discovered the Ebony Sword's magic.

After sealing Mistress inside, this Ebony Sword could unleash terrifying power.

Li Yan gently stroked the sword, feeling the Ebony Sword vibrate.

He whispered to the wooden sword, "Mistress, rest easy in there. One day, I will avenge you."

Only then did the frantically shaking Ebony Sword slowly calm down.

Interesting!

Just as Li Yan was playing with the transformed Ebony Sword, two figures appeared ahead.

Senior Disciple Brother Mingshan and Second Senior Sister Mingyue were limping towards him.

They were wary and uneasy, their Daoist robes stained with blood.

"Strange, where did Mistress go?"

"Junior Brother, are you alright?"

Mingshan and Mingyue had just been knocked away and were unconscious for quite a while.

Now that they were back, they couldn't find Mistress anywhere, and they were a little worried.

"Junior Brother, what exactly happened while we were unconscious?"

Li Yan was thinking about how to gloss over it, but their eyes quickly fell on the Ebony Sword in his hand.

"Why is there Mistress's aura coming from this Ebony Sword?"

Senior Disciple Brother took a few steps back in fright, afraid that Mistress would surge out of the sword.

Second Senior Sister was thoughtful: "Junior Brother, did you seal Mistress inside?"

"Could it be... the Ebony Sword that Master gave you isn't ordinary?"

Mingyue speculated that the Ebony Sword in Li Yan's hand was definitely not an ordinary Ebony Sword, otherwise how could it seal Mistress inside?

Hearing this, a look of jealousy flashed in Senior Disciple Brother's eyes: "Junior Brother, you have good methods! I've been following Master for almost ten years, and Master hasn't given me this kind of treasure."

The two seemed to have misunderstood something, mistakenly believing that this was no ordinary Ebony Sword.

Li Yan hesitated, thinking that it was better not to explain than to explain.

No matter what he said now, they wouldn't believe him.

Seeing Senior Disciple Brother become jealous, Second Senior Sister coughed lightly: "Brother! If Junior Brother hadn't had this magical artifact, we might have lost our lives here."

"Right... right, right!"

Senior Disciple Brother immediately changed his face, smiling and patting Li Yan's shoulder: "Junior Brother, Master really didn't misjudge you! You are the most promising disciple this year, you must not let Master down."

Li Yan humbly cupped his fist: "It was only because of the restraint of Senior Disciple Brother and Second Senior Sister that Junior Brother had the opportunity to subdue the strange object."

"Ha! You're still being humble? Why don't you lend me your magic sword, Senior Disciple Brother..."

As he spoke, Senior Disciple Brother Mingshan began to lose control of his hand, reaching for the Ebony Sword.

Just then, Second Senior Sister slapped Senior Disciple Brother's thieving hand away.

"Brother! This magical artifact was given to Junior Brother by Master, don't steal other people's things!"

Second Senior Sister frowned, constantly hinting at Senior Disciple Brother with her eyes, and Senior Disciple Brother restrained himself a little.

"Hey, why can't I control my hands? I want to touch it when I see a treasure."

Looking at the two people in front of him, Li Yan smiled on the surface, but was always on guard in his heart.

He didn't expect that he had just sealed Mistress, and the Ebony Sword had advanced to the sixth rank, and Senior Disciple Brother was already eyeing this Ebony Sword.
