Shen Jingqi frowned, fully aware of the severity of the situation at hand. Yet, he also understood that staying here to guard the seal ant facing imnse risk. "But what if those black-cloaked figures co back again?" he asked worriedly.
The elderly man smiled slightly and took out an ancient jade pendant from his bosom. "This jade pendant possesses powerful protective forces. As long as you wear it, those black-cloaked figures cannot find you."
Shen Jingqi took the jade pendant, carefully examining it. He saw strange inscriptions on the pendant, shimring faintly.
"Thank you, elder."
The elderly man nodded, seemingly satisfied with their performance. "Rember, no matter what happens, you must not leave here. Only when the seal is completely stabilized can you leave."
Shen Jingqi, Renault, and Li Baiyu nodded solemnly.
In the night, the wind outside the cave grew more intense.
Shen Jingqi tightly gripped the weapon in his hand, his gaze sweeping through the darkness.
Ti passed quietly amidst tension and anxiety. The atmosphere inside the cave beca increasingly oppressive, as if even the air grew heavy.
Shen Jingqi, Renault, and Li Baiyu pressed closely against the cave wall, hardly daring to breathe.
Each minute and second was crucial at this mont, leaving no room for any negligence.
Just then, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly ca from outside the cave. In the stillness of the night, the footsteps were exceptionally clear, instantly sending their hearts racing.
They quickly exchanged a glance, and Shen Jingqi quietly walked to the cave entrance, peering outside through the gaps in the vines.
He saw a figure in a black cloak standing not far away, appearing exceptionally tall under the moonlight. The person seed to be looking around, as if searching for sothing.
Shen Jingqi's heart instantly raced, and he tightly gripped the weapon in his hand, ready to respond to any potential danger. However, just as he was about to charge out, the black-cloaked figure suddenly turned and left.
"What happened?" he asked, puzzled, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
Renault and Li Baiyu also moved to the cave entrance, watching the departing figure with a mix of confusion and unease.
"Why did he appear here?" Li Baiyu asked in a low voice, her tone betraying an uncontainable anxiety.
Shen Jingqi shook his head, "Regardless, we must not lower our guard." He said, quietly retreating to the depths of the cave.
The three of them again pressed closely against the cave wall, hardly daring to breathe.
More dangers might be lurking outside the cave at this mont; they must remain vigilant at all tis.
In the night, the wind outside the cave grew more intense, as if a powerful force was lurking in the shadows, ready to launch an attack. Shen Jingqi, Renault, and Li Baiyu gripped their weapons tightly, scanning the darkness with their eyes.
Just then, a faint tremor suddenly ca from within the cave. Though weak, it was enough to make their hearts pound with fear.
"Not good, the seal is wavering!" Shen Jingqi's expression changed dramatically, his gaze suddenly becoming sharp.
Li Baiyu and Renault also imdiately sensed the anomaly, joining Shen Jingqi without hesitation in their effort to continuously pour their power into the seal.
"Hold on, we can't let the seal break!" Shen Jingqi's voice was firm and strong, he gritted his teeth, blue veins bursting on his forehead, clearly using all his strength.
Li Baiyu and Renault were also undeterred, gripping their weapons tightly and exerting their power to the fullest. A seemingly invisible bond ford among them, tightly connecting their forces to jointly resist the surge of evil power.
However, that evil power was exceptionally strong, like a caged beast relentlessly struggling to break free of the seal's restraints.
Seeing this, Shen Jingqi steeled himself, pressed the jade pendant tightly to his chest, and then jumped firmly onto the seal.
As Shen Jingqi directed the pendant's power into the seal, the initially tumultuous seal gradually stabilized. The evil force was seemingly suppressed by an invisible force, incapable of causing any more disturbance.
——
Seeing this, Shen Jingqi steeled himself swiftly, pressed the ancient jade pendant tightly to his chest, with the pendant glowing faintly.
Shen Jingqi took a deep breath, feeling the warmth emanating from the pendant;
"Co on, let see how strong the power of this seal truly is!" Shen Jingqi whispered to himself.
He then leaped firmly onto the seal.
His hands tightly grasped the edges of the seal, his whole body tensed.
As Shen Jingqi ca into contact with the seal, he felt a powerful force surging from the pendant through his ridians, spreading through his body. This force was warm and strong. Shen Jingqi gritted his teeth, gathering the force into his palms and then forcefully striking the seal.
"Boom!" A loud sound erupted, and a dazzling light burst forth from the seal. This light was as brilliant and dazzling as the sun, instantly illuminating the entire area. Shen Jingqi could feel a powerful force flowing from the seal, intertwining and clashing with the power he infused.
The initially tumultuous seal gradually stabilized, and Shen Jingqi could clearly sense the evil presence beneath the seal was slowly dissipating, seemingly swallowed by a mysterious force.
"Great, the seal has finally stabilized!" Shen Jingqi secretly rejoiced, a weary yet satisfied smile appearing on his face.
Li Baiyu and Renault let out a sigh of relief.
"Shen Jingqi, you were amazing!" Li Baiyu exclaid with genuine admiration.
Renault nodded, his eyes filled with respect and gratitude.
However, just then, a more bizarre phenonon occurred.
The air in the Sealed Land suddenly solidified, an indescribable oppression enveloping their hearts. The elder's recent words "Quick! Use the sealing technique I taught you!" seed to echo in their ears, yet at this mont, the joy of triumph felt overshadowed by an invisible gloom.
Shen Jingqi, Li Baiyu, and Renault exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion and unease. They had just successfully sealed the dark power with the jade pendant—why was such a bizarre phenonon now occurring?
Just then, the previously closed crack suddenly reopened, but instead of releasing dark energy, a deep and lodious chant erged from it. The sound felt ancient, as if transcending ti and space, striking directly at the deepest part of their souls.
