With the help of his assistance chip, Ye Zan quickly finished building the microwave transmitter.

From Yu Qing Sect’s perspective, this object was shaped oddly. It was set on a cubed gold box, with five plate studded spikes sitting on top of it. Because of the cries of the ghosts, many were too distracted to think about how Ye Zan had gotten those pieces.

“Time to start!” Ye Zan was excited, but also wary. If this didn’t work, then he would really be embarrassed in front of his juniors.

Under all of their curious glances, Ye Zan pressed on the microwave’s button and initiated it. It immediately began to wail, spreading their invisible waves all around

“Hm? Those scary cries seem to be dissipating.” Li Yun suddenly said from the side.

Hearing Li Yun’s words, the other people noticed this as well. They could clearly feel that the cries surrounding them were growing smaller. Was this because of the thing Uncle had just set up? Everyone began to look at the microwave once again.

From the outside, it could be clearly seen that the ghosts emerging in the black water were suddenly losing their liveliness. Their struggling movements suddenly became slowed. Their large mouths, taking up half of their grotesque faces, became to make screams that had long lost their former shrillness.

If it worked, then he would continue, now using the maximum power! Ye Zan had gained some confidence, moving to turn the microwave to the greatest capacity. With his movements, the wailing sounds growing more noticeable. This wasn’t the sound of microwaves, but the extra sound created by the spinning of the particles by the machine.

At this time, even Jin Dasheng, who had been struggling to maintain the Nine Storied Pagoda from the side, could not help but glance back at them. No one was more aware of the changes outside of the Nine Storied Pagoda than him. He had once been using all his strength to keep up the defenses, even dissipating some of his own spiritual energy. But now, the pressure from outside had grown smaller, allowing him to take a breath, and even take a glance at the ones behind him.

From the outside, with the increase of the microwave’s power, the ghosts grew to be more than just frozen. As before, when Ye Za had first used the microwave in his room, the ghost began to spew black smoke, their bodies becoming transparent and disappearing from view.

Gui Xiao had spent several hard decades tempering these ghosts. In the blink of an eye, half of them had been lost. There were still some stronger ones left, but it wouldn’t be long before they dissipated as long. They were unaware and unwilling to put up a fight with whatever was eating away at them.

Gui Xiao could feel the dissipation of the ghosts from beneath the pressure of the Quaking Seal. His heart felt pained like it was being cut by a knife. However, he knew that if he didn’t find a way to escape, it would be too late.

Without the help of the ghosts, it was hard for the Demonic Black Water to have any more use. As a defensive treasure, it was not that easy to break into the Nine Storied Pagoda.

Why had Mo Rushi not saved Jin Dasheng and the others immediately upon arrival? It was because, with the combined power of the Demonic Black Water and the ghosts, it would be hard for even Mo Rushi to deal with. Furthermore, there was also Gui Xiao at the side. It would be hard for Mo Rushi to do much.

But, without the ghosts, this Demonic Black Water couldn’t contain Mo Rushi any longer.

People learn from the punishment they have received. Gui Xiao had tasted punishment before. Obviously, he wasn’t going to let himself experience it twice. Biting on his tongue, he spat a mouthful of blood on the Nine Starred Black Bamboo. In an instant it began to grow furiously, it’s body reaching a lofty height. Its leaves were like airplanes flying in the air. The Sword Flashes they released seemed to cut through the sky, breaking through the Mountains and Rivers of the Quaking Seal.

Of course, another reason Gui Xiao was able to escape so easily was the fact that Mo Rushi had long left and gone to deal with the Demonic Black Water with a majority of his concentration. The Quaking Seal that had once been pressuring the Mountains and RIvers had long been directed by Mo Rushi at the Demonic Black Water. What was left was just the remains of the casted spell.

As soon as Gui Xiao came out, he looked to the Quaking Seal and saw it smashing down on his Demonic Black Water. This smash was silent but caused the moving Demoni Black Water to suddenly congregate and turn to dust, flying to the ground.

“Ah!” from Gui Xiao came a shrilling cry, moving to retrieve the Nine Starred Black Bamboo. Not sparing a single glance for Mo Rushi, he turned and melted into a bolt of light; heading straight for the distance.

He had escaped.

It was not surprising that Gui Xiao was able to survive for so long. This amount of resoluteness was not something the ordinary person could compare to.

The Demonic Black Water was as valuable as the Nine Starred Black Bamboo. However, as it had been caught by the Quaking Seal, he had abandoned it. Of course, if he hadn’t escaped and waited for Mo Rushi to come to him, then with the combined power of the Quaking Seal and the Nine Storied Pagoda, then he could possibly be killed. 

The Demonic Black Water had been broken. Mo Rushi retracted the Nine Storied Pagoda back into his palm. Jin Dasheng, Ye Zan, and the other students could finally see the outside world without the confinement of the cage; even if it was still nighttime.

However, once leaving the cage, the first thing they saw was the flash of light bolting away. It was Cultivator Gui Xiao. At once, everyone was a little speechless. This contrast in attitude was a little … too large. Just a few moments prior, he had been arrogant pushing everyone into a dire situation. Now, he was escaping at the sight of danger. The events of the world were really unpredictable.

Mo Rushi didn’t chase, as he knew he could never catch him. These Demonic Cultivators were highly skilled in escaping; something Righteous Cultivators could never compete with. He presented the Nine Storied Pagoda and used it to pick up the dust left of the Demonic Black Water.

However, for Mo Rushi, Ye Zan’s safety was most important. Whether or not Gui Xiao escaped wasn’ important. After all, all he had to do was leak the news of the Nine Starred Black Bamboo to the Wu Zhu Sect. There would be plenty of people willing to take care of Gui Xiao for him.

“Junior, all you alright?” Retrieving the Nine Storied Pagoda, Mo Rushi came before them and came immediately to Ye Zan.

“I’m fine. Take a look at the others. Old Jin just spat blood.” Ye Zan shook his head, telling Mo Rushi to check on Jin Dasheng and the other students. He was actually pretty joyous. After all, he had just proved that technology was pretty useful in this world’s Higher Level Battles. Of course, technique was most important. Precision and fulcrum would equal maximization of power.

Jin Dasheng had sat down after the Nine Storied Pagoda was taken up. Seeing Mo Rushi near, he struggled to stand up, his face pale as he said: “Uncle Mo, your student is useless. I am truly sorry for letting Uncle Ye into such a dangerous situation.”

“This isn’t your fault. Take this pill and heal your wounds.” Mo Rushi gave Jin Dasheng a green-colored pill as he spoke. From the looks of it, this pill was no ordinary object.
