Everyone was stunned.
"The evil sigil has appeared again."
"What's going on?"
"..."
As everyone stared in shock, their bodies began undergoing oceanization once more.
Fish scales slowly emerged across their faces.
Before we could figure out what was happening, Li Junyi and the two senior Daoists, who had only just regained consciousness, began suffering at the same time.
"Ah! Ah!"
"Something's wrong, something's wrong! There's something inside my body, inside my body!"
"Yes, it must be, must be the black stone we were forced to swallow during oceanization."
"..."
The three seniors cried out miserably, speaking one after another.
"What is this black stone?"
Daoist Feiyun hurriedly asked.
We grew anxious as well.
The talismans attached to their bodies were flickering too.
Thankfully, we had prepared in advance. Otherwise, their sudden abnormality might have caused even more trouble.
"I don't know. It's... it's some kind of evil stone. It must, must be shattered!"
Daoist Taipu said.
We began examining their bodies. There had been nothing unusual just now, but when we looked at their abdomens, we found a stream of evil aura spreading from their stomachs.
"Senior Brother, how do we shatter this thing?"
Daoist Feiyun asked.
Daoist Taipu and the others were in visible agony.
"I-I don't know. I can only feel it inside my stomach.
Quick, shatter it, or... or rip open my stomach and dig it out.
I feel like... like I'm about to lose my mind..."
"Ah! Ah..."
"..."
They screamed in pain as their oceanization continued to worsen.
Their eyes were beginning to turn white again.
We had to act. Otherwise, the talismans would not be able to suppress them at all.
Moreover, the evil sigils on their foreheads had appeared once again.
Destroying the evil sigils would only treat the symptoms, not the
