Chapter 167 The Shadow is Almost Gone

Su Yu remained silent for a moment, then calmly cast a cleansing spell on herself on the spot.

Who knows if the system emails will be tainted with Xiaoqi's data vomit?

To be honest, because Su Yao's side made such a big commotion, even without the system reporting the coordinates, he could see the dust flying around caused by the beast tide from afar, even from this mountaintop.

After receiving Xiaoqi's message, he understood even better what was going on over there.

Ah Yao and that guy surnamed Du are definitely running ahead of that moving dust cloud.

He hesitated for a moment, then decided to wait until A Yao had created some distance and run away before dealing with the shadow in Du Queying's sea of ​​consciousness.

It's hard to explain why we should avoid a direct collision.

In the distant jungle below the mountain, the two leaders suddenly made a sharp turn.

You Fujun almost burst into tears of joy when she saw the lake; the 1,000-meter run had nearly killed her.

She can't compare to Su Yao, who has the protagonist's advantage. After years of hard work, she is only at the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, which is above average among the core disciples. Her speed and endurance are naturally inferior to those of the Mahayana Realm.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Su Yao simply picked up You Fujun horizontally, leaped up, used the tree trunk beside her for leverage, and plunged directly into the water to the bottom.

"No—glug—"

You Fujun: Oh my god, she's still holding her breath!

Su Yao hugged her tightly to avoid being separated by the water flow, and then, as You Fujun blew out the first bubble, she quickly fed her the water-repelling bead that she had prepared beforehand into You Fujun's mouth.

She herself naturally had another one in her mouth.

On the lake, ripples spread out, then gradually returned to calm.

The effects of the animal-attracting powder gradually wore off.

However, the herd of spirit beasts that had followed the scent would not leave so easily. Realizing that they had seemingly lost sight of the object emitting the fragrance of precious spiritual plants, the remaining spirit beasts became even more agitated.

Du Queying and the others were forced to abandon their pursuit and could only turn around to deal with the rioting beasts and try to escape. As for the pursuit, they would have to wait for another opportunity.

Du Queying watched the approaching horde of beasts surround him. During his counterattack, he gritted his teeth and carefully awakened the shadow that had been sleeping and recuperating in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The Demon King's gloomy voice echoed in his mind:

He remained silent for a long time.

Du Queying broke out in a cold sweat, but dared not ask any more questions. He could only wait for a possible answer while fighting and fleeing.

He knew that the demon realm had a clear hierarchy of power, which was exactly what he admired.

When the Shadow Demon King's fragmented soul entered his sea of ​​consciousness, he offended His Highness due to his wariness and some probing thoughts. As a result, his sea of ​​consciousness was severely injured. It was only thanks to His Highness's generosity in giving him medicine that he was able to recover in time before entering the secret realm.

And Suiying's silence was, of course, intentional.

Having been in the spirit realm for a long time, he could still only move with his soul. These kids hadn't even picked a few herbs for him yet, and they still needed his help.

What a waste! Even with the secret medicine, his cultivation level was so much higher than that of a regular core disciple, but it was all for nothing.

It's a good opportunity to let these livestock clean up.

Sui Ying cursed inwardly, knowing that the squad had lost several men and was on the verge of collapse, and replied grimly:

As for the cost...

The shadowy spirit secretly let out a snort of laughter.

These young people are able to enter the three major sects, so their aptitude must be quite good.

If the progress of finding a body for him is too slow, directly possessing one of them would be a good option, but the side effects left by the secret medicine must be eliminated.

A hint of joy appeared in Du Queying's eyes. After quickly thanking her, he informed his companions and prepared to cooperate.

Suiying coldly observed that they were ready, and quickly released a burst of demonic energy with the power of a peak Mahayana stage to blast away one side of the beast horde.

The remaining masked gang seized the opportunity to escape, not forgetting to dissolve their dead companions in a bottle of corpse-dissolving water to avoid revealing their identities, leaving behind a herd of beasts that had completely lost their target and wandered aimlessly away.

As the commotion outside gradually subsided, Su Yao, sensing that the noise had died down, led You Fujun to the surface and approached the shore, preparing to investigate the area where the battle had just taken place.

Even the corpses of dead spirit beasts are valuable. By examining the injuries on the spirit beasts, one can roughly determine the momentum of the weapons used by those people.

However, after getting ashore, while drying herself with spiritual energy, Su Yao noticed that You Fujun's legs were a little clumsy.

It was because of the twisting injuries caused by the several stumbles when he was being dragged away.

Su Yao looked somewhat annoyed. After helping You Fujun sit down, she took out the corresponding medicine from her storage ring and applied it to her. You Fujun also took out the basic healing pill that Su Yao had improved and swallowed.

Then You Fujun waved her hand and said, "Alright, it's just a minor injury. Go and check out the battle ruins over there. That way you'll be better prepared if you encounter them again in the future."

Su Yao continued to instruct, "Then don't move around too much from now on. After I apply this medicine, you won't be able to move freely for another hour. Forget it, you can come with me; I'm worried about you."

Fortunately, the pills in the spirit realm are quite effective, and since You Fujun is also a cultivator, this kind of injury is indeed minor and healed quickly.

So, Yu Fujun was suddenly picked up and carried away.

I picked him up horizontally.

You Fujun:...? ? ! !

Before she could even utter a word of protest, she was taken away, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

On the assassins' side, having left this area, the group decisively removed their masks, preparing to feign an accidental encounter with disciples from other sects before acting together.

This failure will surely put Su Yao on guard. These people cannot remain separated from the sect's group forever. In the future, during other times in the secret realm, their independent cultivator companions will attempt to take action to avoid exposing their identities as disciples of the three sects.

Du Queying said, "Four days before the end of the secret realm, we should gather again and take action once more, otherwise it will be even more difficult to get out."

Someone frowned and said, "My senior sister told us that we should gather before the exit opens, as we may not be able to find the time."

Du Queying glanced at him indifferently: "Then you're out of the running. You can leave now."

The man paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm sorry, I'll find a way to solve it myself."

Sui Ying lay leisurely in Du Queying's sea of ​​consciousness, watching this group of originally promising spiritual disciples discuss how to better complete their mission, and occasionally pulling a bit of Du Queying's sea of ​​consciousness power to replenish her own soul.

His deceased former best friend was right; once you've got those rigid guys in the spirit world in your grasp, you can exploit them however you want.

So the invasion is just to give the spirits a legitimate reason to do things for them, isn't that the bottom line?

He was enjoying himself when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Sui Ying suddenly opened her eyes, and without a moment's hesitation, she decisively broke out of Du Queying's sea of ​​consciousness and pushed him to shield him from the knife.

Su Yu raised an eyebrow behind his mask. He had excellent control over his natal sword. He switched the blade to the back of the sword and slapped Du Queying, who had been pushed out, aside. At the same time, he released his divine sense to prevent the shameless demon Suiying from hiding in someone else's sea of ​​consciousness again.

Suiying originally wanted to run away immediately, but unfortunately, she ran into Su Yu's spiritual barrier.

So he decided to try diplomacy first, and then use his verbal skills.

"Ghost Lord! Isn't the Ghost Market supposed to be neutral and only do business?! What do you mean by this!?"

This was his first time meeting the Ghost Lord of the Ghost Market, but as the Demon King, he naturally recognized the Ghost Lord's mask symbol.

Because he ran away early, he didn't know that Su Yu was right in front of him.

Su Yu chuckled softly, "It's nothing special, just helping my demon relatives get some revenge."

Feng Huaijin is his younger brother. His brother is hostile to the previous Demon Palace forces, which means that these demons will bully his brother. Therefore, he bribes the demons to avenge his brother. The equation is true, so there's nothing wrong with it.

Therefore, this is a personal grudge and does not fall under the category of the Ghost Market's stance.
