Whether it was frightened by Shang Lin's fierce eyes or for some other reason, the ferocious beast in the mist immediately lost three points of its aura when it met his beastly gaze.

Having just described it as "difficult to deal with," She Jinxing was suddenly dumbfounded. What was going on? Had he misread it?! This was actually a docile creature, willing to be subdued by the sect leader...?

Shang Lin was also a bit dumbfounded. He hadn't done anything yet, and when he dreamed of this ferocious beast, it was much more ferocious than it was now. Could it be that it was in its previous life, and now it had become a spirit, so even if it wanted to be ferocious, it couldn't be anymore?

However, Shang Lin was not careless. With a flick of his finger, three talismans appeared in his hand. He raised his hand and threw them over without delay.

The mist beast probably never expected that this human would do something so big without making a sound, and that the human was extremely fast and hit him with great precision. In a matter of minutes, most of the mist dissipated, revealing a ball of fire inside.

This scene startled both Shang Lin and She Jinxing. The next second, Shang Lin quickly reacted and went to contract the flame. Although he couldn't be sure what kind of fire it was, he took it first.

However, at this moment, Shang Lin missed the opportunity to strike first. The flames suddenly grew larger, and the mist beast instantly turned into a fire beast, forcing Shang Lin to take a step back.

She Jinxing quickly deployed a barrier to block him and Shang Lin, but it shattered in less than a minute. However, he did not dare to retreat, even though the fire made him instinctively want to back away.

Fortunately, at this moment, Shang Lin had already drawn a rune net to block the attack of the flames, and said to She Jinxing, "Go and stop those things outside. Ah Chou and I will stay here."

Ah Chou is no longer in the form of a pen, but has transformed into the form Shang Lin first saw it in: a cloud of black mist, incredibly fierce, roaring as it charged towards the flames.

She Jinxing was initially hesitant about whether to leave the sect leader alone, but when he saw Wu Qi A Chou, who looked like he was about to devour the sky and the earth, he immediately went out. So A Chou is really fierce!

As expected, none of the sect leader's servants were gentle; perhaps only the younger Huang Li and Huang Ying were the gentlest.

The black aura almost completely engulfed the flames. Only when the flames surged would a flash of light appear, but it could never break out of the black aura.

Shang Lin wasn't idle either, looking for various opportunities to contract with flames. He didn't have a suitable flame yet when refining pills, so this was a rare opportunity. However, his cultivation level was too low, making it quite difficult.

However, it must be said that with Ah Chou's presence, the chances of Shang Lin contracting flames were greatly increased. Of course, the scene was also quite "spectacular." Cheng Qiao's basement, where he cultivated, was basically destroyed, not to mention the formation. Apart from the smell of blood, nothing was left.

When She Jinxing returned after cleaning up the outside, the basement had quieted down, A Chou had turned into a pen again, and Shang Lin was meditating with his eyes closed.

She Jinxing directly transmitted his voice to A Chou, "Has it been subdued?"

Ah Chou replied, "Not yet, let's keep watch."

She Jinxing, “…”

They've almost destroyed the basement, and they still haven't subdued it?! What kind of flame is this? But seeing that the sect leader looked rather disheveled, he transformed back into his original form, trapping Shang Lin inside. Well then, he'd just have to guard it!
