“No, quite the opposite,” Bai Yusheng said, a chill creeping down his spine. “Their bodies were intact, but their dantian and sea of ​​consciousness were completely destroyed, their essence and energy were depleted, and their souls were gone. Before they died, black smoke was faintly seen rising from their seven orifices, as if they had been burned dry from the inside out!”

Everyone in the room was astonished.

They were all cultivators, among whom Qian Manguan, Lu Yang, and An Zijin were all people who had lived for nearly a hundred years.

But they had never heard of such a way of dying!

The only one whose expression remained unchanged was Ji Fengyao: "These people have all been possessed by demons, and their bodies have been taken over by demons. Demons are naturally averse to spiritual power, so when they enter a body, they will expel most of everything related to spiritual power from the host's body, leaving only a small part to maintain the body's appearance and normal functions."

But what she couldn't understand was that the depths of that mine were filled with demonic energy and magic crystals.

Even if the defensive barrier at the entrance of the cave is opened and demonic energy spills out, the magic crystals deep inside the mine will not disappear.

The last time those monsters went in, they were beaten out in pieces, which suggests that Yanhan Star or there might be ferocious beasts inside.

But what about now?

Yan Hanxing has already appeared in Guyue City, which means he has left the mine.

The fact that some of the monsters came out with their whiskers and tails intact indicates that there were no ferocious beasts among them.

Why is it that these demonic cultivators, who should have thrived there, all ended up dying?

Could it be that his demonic soul was burned to death by that god-slaying heart?

The more Ji Fengyao thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Her phoenix eyes were bright and clear, and her enthusiasm for that legendary heart that could slay gods was unprecedented.

If things are really as she thinks, then she must fight for this god-slaying heart!

Perhaps this will be their biggest trump card in dealing with Demon Lord Jiu Yue in the future!

After listening to Ji Fengyao's words, Qian Youying, An Zijin, Lu Yang, Zhuang Shaoze, and Bai Sheng also fell into deep thought and quickly figured out the key point.

Only the magpie, unaware of the existence of the God-Slaying Heart, remained completely bewildered: "Miss means that the Dongdan family members, like the people of Black Purgatory, have been possessed by demons; but how come they all died after entering that mine?"

"Because there is a treasure in that mine that can kill them," Ji Fengyao said briefly.

"There's a treasure that can kill those demons!" The magpie's eyes lit up, and it instantly stood up, waving its little fists. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and snatch it back! We can't let those dogs from the Dongdan family who collude with demons take it!"

An Zijin: "..."

Qian Youying: "..."

Others: "..."

This girl doesn't seem very bright, but she's the young lady's approved sister, practically their mistress.

"Miss Xique truly lives up to her reputation as the most considerate person by Miss's side. Her thoughts coincide perfectly with Miss's. We definitely have to snatch her away," An Zijin said with a twitch of her lips, flattering her.

"That's right, my young lady and I have been going up the mountain to catch birds and down the mountain to catch fish since we were wearing open-crotch pants," the magpie said, patting his chest and speaking in a rough, bandit-like voice. "When my young lady encounters these bad guys, she always leaves no stone unturned, even if it's just a mosquito flying by. Not to mention that there's a treasure in that cave that can exorcise evil spirits, she'll definitely snatch it up so she can deal with these evil spirits and crooked ways in the future."

After saying that, she added smugly, "Am I right, Miss?"
