Everyone saw Master Yu Xuan take out a brush, cinnabar, and many talismans from his pocket.

Then, in front of everyone, he drew a large circle around the tourists and villagers.

After finishing the drawing, he picked up the talisman paper and pasted a circle of yellow talismans around the lines of the circle, thus surrounding everyone.

Everyone watched this scene with curiosity.

"Will this be enough to hide us?"

Master Yu Xuan nodded, “Yes, staying in this place is like entering another space. After those evil creatures come out, your mortal bodies will not be affected by them.”

Upon hearing this, the tourists felt a sense of relief, their hearts filled with unease.

"So we'll be fine as long as we stay inside?"

Master Yu Xuan nodded, "As long as you don't step out of this circle, you'll be fine."

Upon hearing this, the tourists all moved further away from that line.

Bai Xi walked over and injected some spiritual energy into the formation to reinforce it.

Seeing this, Feng Ling felt relieved.

At this time, a strange phenomenon occurred in the sky.

The night sky was no longer pitch black; it shone with light, but this light was not the beautiful golden sunlight; rather, it was a gray, hazy light.

They had never seen anything like this before in their entire lives.

A sudden gust of wind swept through the area, causing the trees to rustle loudly.

A strange wind blew from all directions, making people feel eery and fear.

Only dark clouds churned in the sky, obscuring the entire expanse.

As dark clouds gathered, a strong sense of malevolence began to permeate the air.

The evil aura grew stronger and stronger, making people feel suffocated and filled with fear.

Meng Qingran, Ye Fantian, and their group were forced to enter the circle to resist the evil energy above.

Gradually, even the members of the Taoist Association couldn't hold on any longer.

Ye Guoliang led everyone into that circle as well.

The mere appearance of evil energy is unbearable; imagine how terrifying it would be if a truly malevolent entity were to appear behind it.

If these evil things were left unchecked, they could almost imagine the devastation they would cause.

Then, from within the surging black clouds, a gigantic claw appeared.

Next came its other enormous claw.

Then, a colossal creature as large as Mount Tai appeared before everyone.

This is a huge, strange beast that looks like a cow and a tiger at the same time, with porcupine-like fur and large wings.

Everyone gasped in surprise upon seeing the enormous creature before them.

Suddenly, someone recognized him.

"That looks like an ancient ferocious beast, Qiongqi!"

"I saw his picture in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

"My God! I can actually see a legendary ancient ferocious beast!"

"It's my fault my phone isn't working, otherwise I really wanted to take a picture of this ferocious beast!"

"What time is it, and you're still thinking about taking pictures?"

"Don't worry if something happens, let's take a picture first!"

"..."

The crowd was shocked, excited, and scared all at the same time.

After Qiongqi appeared, it let out a deafening roar at them.

Everyone was so shocked that they covered their ears.

However, there was not just one ferocious beast; another one soon appeared.

It was as huge as a Qiongqi (a mythical beast), with sharp claws and teeth, and its large head was so ugly that it instilled fear in anyone who looked at it.

Humans are as insignificant as ants in their presence.

"This looks like a Taotie!"

The oppressive aura emanating from the ancient ferocious beast caused the wild animals in the mountains to tremble in fear, hiding in their caves.

Suddenly, everyone noticed a figure shrouded in black mist standing on the beast's back.

Gradually, the black figure solidified, revealing a clear human face.

It was a man, handsome yet sinister-looking, with bloodthirsty eyes.

Feng Ling turned deathly pale when she saw the man in front of her.

This terrifying evil being, which they call the Grim Reaper, has hands stained with countless drops of blood.

The scene of her people being brutally murdered by these evil creatures flashed through her mind again.

The crowd couldn't help but exclaim, "Is he an evil being? He's actually human!"

However, the man known as the Grim Reaper turned his head and looked at Bai Xi.

He smiled and said, "Bai Xi, we meet again."

Everyone: ? ? ?

He actually knew Miss Bai Xi.

Jun Mo looked at the Grim Reaper with a cold expression and said without any politeness, "He's nothing but a defeated opponent."

Death's expression changed.

Looking at him, she recognized his identity: "He is actually the Emperor of Fengdu."

"I never expected that she could bring such a big shot like you here."

"Death, is this the one who easily killed you hundreds of years ago?"

A woman's voice suddenly rang out, and then a charming figure emerged from the clouds.

She was a powerful demon, beautiful and alluring, with one striking heterochromatic eye, but her other eye was dull and lifeless.

The female demon landed on the Taotie's back, looking down at the blue figure on the ground.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with skin as white as snow and an aloof demeanor.

When she saw who it was, she was first surprised, then a hint of resentment appeared on her face, before she resumed her previous light laugh.

"Oh, isn't this the famous female strategist of the Jin Dynasty? So you're the enemy that Death has remembered for so long!"

"I never imagined that we would meet again after a thousand years."

Bai Xi simply looked at her without saying a word.

She then reminded him, "Does Lord Baixi still remember that you were the one who injured my eye?"
