The laughter kept ringing in the ears of the four people. Ji Fu was stunned for a moment, his mind went blank, and all he could see and hear was a dazzling array of colors. He could see and hear nothing but the man's voice.
Gu Chun immediately noticed that something was wrong with Ji Fu. He shook Ji Fu's arm vigorously, but received no response.
Jiang Yixing noticed Gu Chun's actions, and then noticed that Ji Fu's expression was clearly off.
Without making a sound, she suddenly summoned a field of green plants. Huge leaves, as tall as a person, suddenly shot out from in front of Ji Fu, blocking the invisible spiritual attack. The remaining small, normal-sized leaves fell from beside Ji Fu, bringing him clarity.
Ji Fu was only in a daze for a moment before Jiang Yixing's spiritual energy woke him from his fantasy.
As Ji Fu regained consciousness, he looked at the man's figure, his expression gradually darkening.
He timed his attack only when he was in a bad state.
Ji Fu: "What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist?"
The man stopped laughing, and the smile on his lips faded. "This is just a little lesson for you. Stalking comes at a price."
Ji Fu smiled, as if his momentary lapse of concentration was merely an illusion. "Fellow Daoist, you really know how to confuse right and wrong. You incited the demon race and wreaked havoc in the spirit realm first, and now you have the nerve to criticize others."
The man didn't fall for Ji Fu's trick. "Fellow Daoist Ji has given me a completely fabricated charge."
Ji Fu's eyes darkened. This man did indeed know them; it seemed he wasn't entirely unprepared.
Jiang Yixing had no intention of letting the man go today, and now that the man knew their identities, things were even easier.
"It seems you know us very well. Then please cooperate with the alliance in handling the case and come with us."
The man's gaze shifted from Ji Fu to Jiang Yixing. "Fellow Daoist Jiang, there's no reason to arrest someone without cause, is there? I haven't done anything wrong."
Jiang Yixing smiled and said, "That's what all the prisoners say."
The man's gaze suddenly turned cold, and a gust of wind rose around him, causing his trench coat to flutter in the air.
This was a sign that the spiritual energy was out of control. Jiang Yixing glanced at it, but didn't care at all. He said to himself, "The Alliance never lets any suspect go. If you are willing to come with us, we will talk things over. If you are not willing, don't blame us for taking action."
Jiang Yixing's words clearly told the man that they were going to take him back today, so he should stop trying to stall for time with nonsense.
The wind suddenly picked up, the shadows of the trees swayed, and leaves fell in gusts, making a rustling sound.
The man chuckled again, this time his voice was much colder.
His hood fell down, revealing a face with ordinary features: flat eyebrows, a single eye, and thick lips—the kind of face you would never notice at first glance in a crowd.
Jiang Yixing wasn't sure if this was a disguise, so she stared intently into the man's pupils. His small eyes flashed with a sharp light, conveying a ruthlessness that didn't match his appearance.
The man's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, carrying an unsettling allure, "My friends! Come!"
Is he calling for help?
Jiang Yixing frowned. Was he inciting the demon race, just like he had done before?
Suddenly, many figures appeared in the dense forest behind the man, their backs to the sunlight making them difficult to see clearly.
Some were short and crawled on all fours, while others were tall and imposing, emitting astonishing roars.
This is definitely not human. The group exchanged glances, and sure enough, he used his usual methods again.
Most of the demons that appeared were of low intelligence, but their attack power was considerable. At this moment, they obeyed the man's command and swarmed forward.
Jiang Yixing transmitted his voice to Rong Hang and Ji Fu: "You two have decided on that man. I'm afraid he might run away."
Rong Hang is a swordsman who can take a person's head from a thousand miles away. If it comes to one-on-one combat, no one here is stronger than him.
Rong Hang nodded, locked onto the man's figure, leaped in front of him, drew his sword, a dark light flashed, and a bloody gash appeared on the man's body.
Ji Fu's true form is now a bow. Within his range, it's almost impossible for anything to escape his grasp. In addition, he's currently exhausted and can't fight alone, but he can definitely act as a backup.
As Rong Hang and the man began fighting in mid-air, Ji Fu's body shone brightly, transforming into a longbow, ready to deliver the final blow at any moment.
Jiang Yixing himself is skilled in large-scale magical battles. With a throw of his left hand, he can bind all the monsters on the ground tightly. With a raise of his right hand, the next wave of monsters that are about to pounce on him will be frozen in place.
Guchun is no less impressive; it can be said to be the master of the thousand-mile glacier.
Taking advantage of a moment of free time, Jiang Yixing glanced at Rong Hang. He pressed forward relentlessly, and the man was clearly no match for him, his expression gradually becoming disheveled.
However, he kept muttering incessantly, as if chanting some kind of spell.
Jiang Yixing's heart raced. She noticed Rong Hang frowned and guessed it might be some kind of mental attack.
She began to attack on a wider scale, trying to get to Rong Hang's side as soon as possible. The waves of attacking monsters were nothing to Jiang Yixing, but they were still very annoying and made her feel like she was never going to be defeated.
Jiang Yixing formed a hand seal, and a towering tree rose from the ground. A strong green light flashed, awakening the remaining consciousness in the minds of the demons.
Some of the monsters stopped in their tracks, looking around at the chaos in confusion, as if they didn't know what was happening.
Gu Chun acted swiftly, freezing all the demonic beasts that Jiang Yixing had awakened in an instant. Although they were not killed, they were temporarily unable to move.
Jiang Yixing summoned his flying sword and walked through the air.
Although the man was in the air, his mind was on the ground. When he saw Jiang Yixing flying towards him, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth, and his voice seemed to come from the heavens: "Punish evil humans, brave friends, go!"
In an instant, the demonic beasts on the ground erupted in a frenzy, some even unleashing their spiritual power and breaking free from Jiang Yixing and Gu Chun's restraints.
The sound wave struck Jiang Yixing squarely, causing him to feel dizzy for a moment, but he quickly regained consciousness.
But taking advantage of this moment of distraction, a fox suddenly appeared behind Jiang Yixing from nowhere.
Rong Hang's pupils dilated, and the tip of his sword was pointed at the man's throat.
This white fox was far stronger than the monsters below. It seemed to have gained sentience, and a red light flashed in its eyes as it scratched Jiang Yixing's back with one claw.
The moment Jiang Yixing sensed danger, he forcibly turned around in mid-air, but he was still scratched on the shoulder. The wound was very deep, and blood gushed out instantly.
The next second, Ji Fu's arrow pierced through the air and struck the fox's body. The fox suddenly roared, its fur all puffed up, and it fell to the ground from the sky.
