"Stop right there!" Qi Yu conjured dozens of doppelgangers, encircling the imposter Feng Mingxi.
The others arrived shortly after, forming a formation behind them and blocking off all of Feng Mingxi's escape routes.
The fake Feng Mingxi looked at Qi Yu and the others, showing no trace of panic at being discovered. Instead, his first reaction was to slowly and deliberately pour out everything in the bottle, then crush the bottle into dust and discard it.
After finishing these actions, he calmly said, "I thought you would arrive a little later."
"Big Brother!" The real Feng Mingxi exposed the imposter's true identity, his voice filled with disappointment, "Don't make one mistake after another."
Feng Mian's gaze was indifferent, "What do you mean by one mistake after another? I'm just doing what I want to do, what's wrong with that?"
He looked at Feng Mingxi, "I am older than you, and the position of Demon Lord should have been mine. Since I couldn't get it through Mom and Dad, can't I take what belongs to me myself?"
"Nonsense," Yu Zhen looked at Feng Mian, "If you hadn't colluded with the Evil Ancestor back then, the Demon Lord position would have naturally been yours long ago. You simply don't understand your mother's good intentions. You don't reflect on your mistakes and only blame others. You are truly beyond redemption!"
"Did you help the Evil Ancestor plant these demon seeds in the Yellow River?" Li Yu looked at Feng Mian, "I have never taught you as a father, so today I will not speak as a father, but as a cultivator, to converse with you as an equal."
"Do you know how much harm these demon seeds will cause to the Three Realms? The Evil Ancestor is not a benevolent being. You don't think he will truly fulfill all the promises he made to you, do you?"
Feng Mian looked at Li Yu expressionlessly, unmoved.
Just then, a surge of evil energy swept in from behind.
The Evil Ancestor appeared in mid-air like a black mist, floating behind Feng Mian and chuckling at Li Yu:
"Kirin Holy Lord, your words are meaningless. How could this ancestor not keep his word?"
After speaking, the Evil Ancestor circled around Feng Mian's ear and whispered seductively:
"Feng Mian, look around you. Whether it's Yu Zhen, your mother, or Li Yu, your father who never cared for you, or your younger siblings Feng Mingxi, or your elder siblings Qi Yu and Si Qing, none of them care about you. They all think you are dispensable. Why don't you take action and get revenge on them?"
As if controlled by him, Feng Mian heard these words and slowly raised his hand.
The next moment.
A very powerful evil energy erupted from Feng Mian's hand.
Qi Yu was greatly shocked and retreated rapidly, erecting a barrier to shield everyone behind her.
She was deeply astonished.
The Evil Ancestor had always wanted to possess a body.
But the reason he only sought human bodies was not out of preference or liking, but because the bodies of other races were either unsuitable or clashed with the Evil Ancestor's primordial spirit, and none were as easy to control as human bodies.
After possessing a body, the Evil Ancestor would cause that body to explode and die, which was why he only possessed humans.
Of course, her current body might be more suitable for the Evil Ancestor than a human body.
But... Feng Mian was different.
Feng Mian was the son of the Demon Lord, a high-ranking demon. Even if he was not as powerful as Feng Mingxi, his cultivation was still profound compared to ordinary demons.
Such him... if he released demonic energy, it would be normal. How could he release evil energy?
And such pure and powerful evil energy.
But before Qi Yu could ponder the source of this evil energy, Feng Mian had already formed hand seals, gathering streams of evil energy in his palms, and then fiercely attacked towards her!
This evil energy was fast and accurate, breaking through several layers of barriers.
Qi Yu concentrated her power in her palms and retaliated.
The two forces clashed in mid-air.
Qi Yu's strength alone was insufficient. Yu Zhen and Li Yu placed a palm behind Qi Yu.
Yue Zhiyin, Qi Nian, Sui You, Chi Ming, Qi Yan, Feng Mingxi, Feng Siqian, Feng Yunzui, and even the Divine Lord Huai An, all participated, channeling all their spiritual power into each other's bodies, and finally supplying it all to Qi Yu.
Si Qing also assisted in guarding by her side.
Later, other immortal sect disciples also joined in, sending all their spiritual power into Qi Yu's body for support.
Even Can Xue, who had been standing by the side and found it inconvenient to act, secretly moved her fingers and, amidst the chaos, sent a trace of her cultivation into Qi Yu's back.
Under normal circumstances, such a powerful force would have long since overwhelmed the opponent's power.
But...
Because of the demon seeds, the evil thoughts of all beings in the Three Realms had multiplied exponentially.
The Evil Ancestor gathered all the evil thoughts of the Three Realms and poured them into Feng Mian's body with all his might, instantly overwhelming Qi Yu and the others, and gradually gaining the upper hand.
As the evil energy gradually approached,
Qi Yu was already becoming increasingly exhausted.
The Evil Ancestor grinned ferociously behind Feng Mian and delivered a final, heavy blow.
The powerful evil energy repelled Qi Yu and the others' spells, shooting towards Qi Yu like an arrow.
Qi Yu had people behind her and had no time to dodge.
But at this critical moment.
Feng Mian suddenly turned around, controlled the evil energy, and struck it back into the Evil Ancestor's body!
The Evil Ancestor clearly did not expect Feng Mian to do this and had no time to defend himself. After suffering this heavy blow, his primordial spirit was largely scattered, and his voice was filled with disbelief:
"Feng Mian, you... cough cough cough, what do you mean... are you betraying this ancestor?"
"Feng Mian, do you know that if this ancestor is severely injured, you will also..."
Before he could finish speaking, he lost consciousness due to the damage to his primordial spirit and vanished into thin air.
Feng Mingxi's eyes widened.
Feng Siqian and Feng Yunzui looked incredulous.
Yu Zhen anxiously called out Feng Mian's name, intending to grab him.
However, before her hand could touch Feng Mian's clothes, she saw cracks appearing on Feng Mian's face, and then, like dust, he gradually shattered and disappeared into the air along with the Evil Ancestor.
Just before disappearing, Feng Mian looked at Yu Zhen and Li Yu, as if he had something to say.
But as the words reached his lips, he seemed to remember something, shook his head, closed his eyes, and then a slight smile curved his lips, silently bidding farewell to Yu Zhen.
"Feng Mian! Feng Mian!" Yu Zhen reached out and grasped empty air, her voice filled with panic and confusion, her voice breaking into sobs towards the end.
"Why did this happen?" Feng Mingxi's fingertips trembled.
Even though his relationship with Feng Mian had been poor before, he had never intended to take Feng Mian's life just now. He wanted to bring Feng Mian back.
Feng Siqian's head buzzed.
She and Feng Yunzui felt their vision darken. Perhaps because Feng Mian's attitude had been too arrogant and unrestrained before, they had never imagined that one day they would witness Feng Mian disappear before their eyes.
"Why did this happen?" Chi Ming murmured, "So, Feng Mian defeated the Evil Ancestor, right? He didn't join forces with the Evil Ancestor, so why did he do this before?"
Qi Nian bent down to examine the Yellow River water, scooped up a handful, and brought it to Qi Yu and the others, saying uncomfortably, "The demon seeds in the Yellow River water have been tampered with. It seems someone added Immortal Realm Red Brew."
"What is that?" Chi Ming pressed.
"It's a type of wine brewed from immortal fruits. It tastes sweet and is usually given to children to drink," Si Qing finished, then suddenly realized and grabbed Qi Yu, "Immortal Realm Red Brew, it seems to use that rare immortal tree."
"...I've never drunk this wine before, and I haven't lived in the Nine Heavens, so I have no idea," Qi Yu rubbed her temples, "Speaking of which, when we saw Feng Mian just now, the white bottle in his hand was pouring out Red Brew, wasn't it?"
"It should be more than just Red Brew. It should also contain demonic blood and some charcoal ash," Qi Nian looked at the Yellow River water in her hand, "Otherwise, it wouldn't have disguised itself so similarly to demon seeds, even fooling the Evil Ancestor."
"But I still don't understand, why did Big Brother disappear with the Evil Ancestor?" Feng Mingxi's voice was agitated, "What exactly happened? Is there any way for us to find out?"
Qi Yu shook her head.
Judging by the Evil Ancestor's disbelieving tone before he disappeared, it seemed the Evil Ancestor himself had not expected Feng Mian to do this.
Can Xue stood by with lowered eyes, remaining silent. She suddenly remembered that Blood Demon Fiend had once given the Evil Ancestor a reward.
The reward was called Demonic Devouring Medicine.
Demonic Devouring Medicine was refined by Blood Demon Fiend using his own blood and fiendish energy, and it had the effect of devouring the demonic power of demons.
The user only needed to infuse a wisp of their own aura into the Demonic Devouring Medicine and have a demon drink it.
The Demonic Devouring Medicine would gradually corrode the demon's body, and the corroded demon would gradually lose control of themselves, eventually becoming an empty shell with only a soul, watching their own body being used by the user.
However, Demonic Devouring Medicine was different from possession. The user could not directly enter the controlled demon's body.
They could only control the controlled demon and experience the taste of food and various sensations through them.
And demons who had taken Demonic Devouring Medicine had to stay inseparable from the user. Once the user died, the controlled demon would die with them.
