Chapter 274 A disciple of the Jie Sect has fallen into demonic possession?
The situation was urgent, so Taibai flew at full speed and arrived at Jin'ao Island a few days later.
Before he even stepped into the gates of Biyou Palace, he heard the angry roar of the Tongtian Sect Leader coming from inside the palace.
"You insolent wretch! How could you, one of my seven attendants, have fallen into demonic ways? What happened?"
Taibai quietly landed outside the palace, only to find the atmosphere inside the main hall of Biyou Palace heavy with tension.
Pilu Xian was kneeling on the ground, his body trembling slightly.
His face was pale, and there were traces of black aura on his forehead. Although they had faded, they still gave off an ominous feeling.
Pilu Xian bowed to the ground, his voice filled with fear and confusion:
"Please, Master, save your disciple! I truly do not know why I have suddenly been overwhelmed by inner demons, leading to this great calamity."
Tongtian stood atop the jade steps, his robes fluttering even without wind, his eyes burning with fury.
Hearing Pilu Xian's explanation, he became even more indignant and kicked him to the ground.
Pilu Xian dared not resist, and rolled down in a sorry state, then hurriedly knelt down again.
Tongtian naturally took the seven immortal attendants who had fallen into demonic possession very seriously.
He had used his divine sense to investigate several times, but he had not found any trace of being ambushed.
This means that the only possible reason for Pilu Xian's possession of demonic possession was either his own lack of resolve or his deliberate contact with demonic forces.
Regardless of the reason, falling into demonic possession is a desecration of the Jie Sect's rules.
Li Bai stood quietly outside the palace for a moment, his heart also filled with turbulent emotions.
He never expected that, in the short time since he left, some disciples within the Jie Sect had already been tainted by demonic energy.
This matter is of utmost importance; the reappearance of demonic signs in the primordial world is by no means a good omen.
He straightened his clothes and stepped into the main hall of Biyou Palace.
The palace was brightly lit, with clouds covering the ground, yet it felt incredibly oppressive due to the anger of the Tongtian Sect Leader.
Taibai glanced at Pilu Xian and secretly used his divine sense to observe Pilu Xian's condition.
However, the energy around Pilu Xian had returned to normal, and the demonic energy that had previously lingered around him had completely dissipated. It was clear that Tongtian had used his supernatural powers to clear the demonic energy from his body.
When Tongtian saw Taibai enter, he barely managed to suppress his anger and waved to Pilu Xian, signaling him to leave.
As if granted a pardon, the immortal Pilu bowed again, staggered to his feet, and hurriedly left the main hall.
Tongtian watched her leave, and at the same time, he slightly raised his fingertip, and a beam of clear light silently entered the heart of the Immortal Queen Pilu.
That is a unique demon-suppressing mark from Tongtian, which can protect the mind and prevent it from being taken advantage of by demons again.
After the figure of Pilu Xian disappeared, Taibai stepped forward, bowed, and said in a deep voice:
"Master, I have come here to report the reappearance of signs of the demonic race. I never expected that some of my fellow disciples would be harmed by them."
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader snorted coldly, his face growing even more gloomy.
He turned around with a flick of his sleeve, and a faint blue light emanated from the jade throne.
"Damn it! Why didn't you include this Pilu Immortal when you were in charge of the Investiture of the Gods?"
"If we had put him on the Investiture of the Gods list, how could he have suffered this shame of falling into demonic possession today, needlessly tarnishing the reputation of our Jie Sect!"
However, Taibai did have a different opinion on the matter of Pilu Xian's demonic possession.
In his view, although Pilu Xian's nature was not exactly pure and kind, he had never done anything that was morally reprehensible.
Furthermore, Pilu Xian's foundation is also of the highest caliber. With steady and solid cultivation, breaking through to the Quasi-Saint level is only a matter of time.
With such a bright future, there is absolutely no reason for me to degenerate and willingly join the demonic path.
The situation is more complex than it appears on the surface.
Tongtian saw that Taibai remained silent, but his gaze swept over them like lightning. He then said:
"Speak, what other reason do you have for coming to see me this time, besides the matter of demonic energy?"
The light of the Chaos Bell is dimming day by day. Don't you intend to offer an explanation for your affair with the Chaos Bell?
Taibai understood immediately; Tongtian's words implied his connection with the remnants of the Wu clan.
The Witch Clan was despised by Heaven and was wiped out long ago. Tongtian must have already deduced that he had contact with the remaining members of the Witch Clan, so he spoke out to warn him, intending to keep him away from trouble.
However, Li Bai had his own ideas, and it was inconvenient for him to speak them directly at this moment, so he had to temporarily evade the issue.
He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect again, his tone steady:
"Master, I believe that Pilu Xian's fall into demonic possession this time was not due to his own actions. There may be hidden reasons, perhaps he was misled by others, which led him to fall into demonic possession."
Tongtian raised an eyebrow slightly, signaling him to continue.
Li Bai paused for a moment, then slowly expressed his doubts.
As far as he knew, in the original course of destiny, after the Investiture of the Gods, Vairocana Buddha joined the Western Sect and attained the position of Vairocana Buddha.
However, times have changed, and Pilu Xian is still a disciple of the Jie Sect and has not entered the Western Paradise.
However, with the resurgence of demonic energy in the primordial world, it is unlikely that any other force besides the Western Sect could subtly induce the fall of immortals.
In the past, Mount Sumeru was the sacred site of Rahu, the Demon Ancestor. The Western Sect inherited this place. Although they outwardly practice the righteous path, they may not be without secret methods to manipulate demonic energy.
This may not be a coincidence.
The Western Sect and the Jie Sect have a long-standing feud. This time, by secretly leading the immortal Vairocana into demonic possession, they can not only damage the reputation of the Jie Sect, but also test the effectiveness of demonic influence. Their intentions are despicable.
The Jie Sect may only be the beginning. If the Western Sect intends to do this, disciples of the Human, Chan, and Jie Sects may all follow in its footsteps in the future.
As more and more people with weak wills are corrupted by demonic energy, the orthodox Xuanmen sect will inevitably be thrown into turmoil.
Perhaps only Jieyin and Zhunti can truly achieve this, since both of them possess the ability to enter other people's dreams.
However, Taibai believed that Jieyin was an upright person, so he thought it was unlikely that Jieyin was behind this.
That leaves only Zhunti, but Zhunti is seriously injured, so theoretically it would be difficult for him to do so.
If one truly wishes to recover quickly from injuries, the only way is to fall into the demonic path.
But this also doesn't make sense. If a Heavenly Saint were to fall into demonic possession, the Heavenly Dao would surely sense it, and it's impossible that Hongjun Daozu would remain completely inactive.
Upon hearing Taibai's analysis, Tongtian narrowed his eyes slightly, though he didn't quite believe it.
He had already used his divine sense to investigate, and if there were any traces of outsiders, there was no way they could escape his perception.
Unless the other party is also a saint and possesses some kind of profound secret technique.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up, and the person who looked just like Taibai flashed through his mind.
But then he shook his head.
He also knew about Zhunti's serious injury, and given Zhunti's current condition, it was indeed unlikely that he could have done this.
However, since Li Bai has raised this possibility, we must take precautions.
It's better to be cautious than to be careless. If that were the case, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"What you say makes sense. I will attach a wisp of my divine will to each disciple in the sect to prevent them from being led astray into the demonic path."
"Keep this talisman safe. The primordial world is in turmoil right now. If you encounter any danger, you can use this talisman to ward off evil."
When Taibai saw the talisman, he did not refuse and accepted it directly.
He does need to secure some protection for himself.
"Please keep a close eye on Duobao, Hulu Xian, and other senior brothers and sisters, just in case."
"Furthermore, I have another request. Could you please divine Kunpeng's current location?"
The great calamity has already appeared. With Taibai's own cultivation level, he could have tried to deduce Kunpeng's whereabouts, but his multiple deductions all resulted in complete chaos.
This made him suspect that either Kunpeng's cultivation had surpassed his own, or that he had used some kind of supreme treasure to conceal the secrets of heaven.
Instead of struggling to calculate it ourselves, we should ask the sage Tongtian Jiaozhu for help.
