"I'll go take a look!"

After speaking, a cultivator at the early Nascent Soul stage leaped towards the barrier.

He reached the edge of the barrier, carefully inspected it from top to bottom, then turned back to give everyone a reassuring smile.

"There's nothing there. Maybe it's just some bugs. I'll go in and take a look."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leap into the barrier when Xi Xingxue caught a glimpse of a dark shadow passing by.

"Don't go!" he shouted, transforming into a gust of wind and rushing over.

However, it was too late. The cultivator had already entered the barrier. A light blue light rippled before his eyes, and he felt a strange sensation coming from his arm.

Looking back, a flash of sword light slashed down, and Xi Xingxue stood behind him, panting, looking at his arm with a terrified expression.

The monk looked down.

His arm was missing a section; the severed flesh was bloody and black smoke was emanating from it.

"ah!"

A sharp pain shot through his entire body, and the cultivator screamed in horror, retreating repeatedly.

All the cultivators on the flying boat were on high alert. Not only did the sharp-eyed Xi Xingxue notice it, but Wenren Ling also did not miss it. As Xi Xingxue's sword light descended, the fleeing black shadow appeared.

If Xi Xingxue hadn't reacted quickly, the cultivator would have lost not just his arm, but his life.

"Oh no! It's a demonic ghost! Everyone, defend against it!"

Wen Ren shouted sharply and his figure flashed past like a shadow.

At that moment, many places within the barrier that enveloped Flowing Light City began to sway, as if countless indistinct ghostly figures were crashing into them.

The cultivators hurriedly searched for the source of the barrier fluctuations, but when they arrived, they couldn't see anything at all, only occasionally catching a glimpse of a darting black shadow.

When you can see the shadow, it means it's only a few centimeters away from you.

Perhaps their cultivation level isn't that high, but in this way, cultivators will only be at a disadvantage.

Before long, several cultivators were caught off guard and had their necks split in two.

Blood splattered in the air like fireworks, and a gust of wind blew a few drops of warm blood onto the faces of bystanders.

Xi Xingxue wiped the blood from her face and turned around in a daze.

What came into view were the corpses of several cultivators, their heads severed and their bodies falling in a straight line.

The scene is gruesome, but this may be the easiest way to die.

The demon race is inherently cold-blooded and cruel. Their discord with cultivators is not a matter of stance at all.

Rather, they are inherently ruthless, domineering, and selfish. As long as they exist in this world, no human, cultivator, or even demon can survive.

They want to dominate the world and make the blood of all people flow into a river for them to bathe in!

On the other end, the Jade Maiden Sect Master said, "We've encountered this situation before, but why can't we see them this time?"

Wenren Ling shook his head, momentarily lost and confused.

Fortunately, these demonic ghosts seem to be temporarily indifferent to the townspeople, targeting only the cultivators.

The barrier cannot be broken by them in a short time; they are just guarding it and attacking cultivators randomly.

"Can this barrier... last a day?" a sect leader asked worriedly.

"No, it's impossible." Wenren Ling gave him a despairing answer.

Seeing several of their companions die, many people's eyes reddened: "Damn it, since they've all come out, let them be annihilated!"

These demons killed countless of their relatives and friends while they were alive, and even after they died, they continued to harm people.

The cultivators' anger was aroused. One by one, they brandished their weapons. After successfully capturing the shadowy figure, they dripped a drop of their essence blood into it. The shadowy figure vanished with a sharp cry.

Xi Xingxue looked at the barrier with concern.

As long as the barrier is maintained and they are not allowed to escape, they will not be able to find Yin Yue. This is the way to change things.

But.

Is it really that simple?

Sure enough, when the vengeful spirits discovered that these cultivators were fiercely defending the barrier, they simply abandoned some of the spirits and turned to the human world.

A wisp of green will-o'-the-wisp suddenly shot up in the street, and the resident's house was instantly engulfed in flames.

"Fire! Help!"

Several panicked mortals ran out of the house, and the instant they came out, a semi-transparent, semi-black shadow appeared in front of them.

Before they could react, the dark figure pounced, its hands forming sharp claws that pierced their necks.

Blood flowed from between their fingers, and the two mortals died with their heads lolling to the side, unable to even utter their last scream.

The shadowy figure lowered its head, carefully sucking the blood from between its fingers, its eyes filled with fanaticism.

"Ah! Ghosts! Father and Mother!" The remaining mortal let out a series of shrill screams.

The shadowy figure casually tossed the mortal to the ground and walked toward the mortal who was still alive.

And just then...

A white shadow fell before it, the white light dissipated, and a young man dressed in spotless white clothes appeared in the darkness.

He raised his hand, and the long sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light, instantly illuminating the night.

The shadowy figure was annihilated by a single sword strike, emitting a strange, cawing laugh, before instantly reforming.

"Go to hell!"

The dark figure lunged at Xi Xingxue.

Xi Xingxue realized she couldn't kill it, so she could only step aside, bite her fingertip, chant an incantation, and drip out a drop of her blood essence.

In that brief moment, the mortal on the ground picked up a kitchen knife and rushed over, shouting, "Father, Mother, I've come to avenge you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadowy figure casually raised his hand, piercing through the mortal's chest.
