The familiar, chilling voice filled Kim Yugyeom with shock and anger, and filled him with immense fear.
He was a Nascent Soul expert, so why couldn't he sense that bitch's aura? Even his reactions were becoming sluggish.
Looking at the thick fog, he realized something was wrong. He and Xia Wanqing stood back to back, and he finally managed to calm down. But after trying to use his spiritual power, his expression changed instantly.
How could this be? How could spiritual power...?
"Do you feel your spiritual power is blocked and you can't use it?" Qi Yue appeared, looking at Jin Youqian with a sinister smile in her beautiful eyes.
Kim Yugyeom's eyes widened in fury as he roared, "Did you discover us a long time ago? And then you tampered with things in the fog?!"
Xia Wanqing tried using her spiritual power and exclaimed in disbelief, "Why can't I use my spiritual power?!"
Qiyue looked at the two of them with schadenfreude, making no attempt to hide her murderous intent: "You only realized it now? It's too late?"
Before she could finish speaking, Qiyue drew her sword and attacked. The two of them struggled to defend themselves and kept retreating.
His face was twisted with jealousy and hatred: "Why are you alright?"
"Guess?" Qiyue said casually, her face full of disdain. Unlike the two of them who were struggling, she seemed exceptionally relaxed, toying with them like a cat playing with mice.
This caused the two of them to become increasingly devastated.
The most devastating thing was that not only were they unable to use their spiritual power, but their limbs also experienced an indescribable numbness and coldness, and their stomachs were rumbling with hunger.
"Ugh!" The intense hunger made Xia Wanqing's face look extremely pale. In the end, she was completely distracted and hugged her stomach tightly, retreating behind Jin Youqian, trying to use him as a shield despite his gaze.
Kim Yugyeom, who was already injured, was in even worse pain. The blood in his shoulder was flowing more and more, his limbs were getting colder and more numb, and he was getting hungrier and hungrier. He had no mind to think about Xia Wanqing's two-facedness; he only had one thought in his mind.
Bigu pill! Bigu pill!
He needs a fasting pill!
His face grew paler and paler, and his heart grew more and more panicked. For him, who had been fasting for many years and had no need to eat or have any appetite, this feeling was worse than death.
He took out a token, intending to call back the people he had sent ahead, but before he could even pull it out, Qiyue's sword pierced his palm.
"Aaaaaah!!"
Hungry, cold, and numb, Kim Yugyeom was struck by a sword again. He felt like he was living a life worse than death, and the token in his hand fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Xia Wanqing's pupils contracted, her eyes filled with calculation. She quickly grabbed her sword and chased after the disciples who had left.
Those good-for-nothings must have fasting pills!
Seeing Xia Wanqing's panicked escape, Qiyue's lips curled into a wicked smile.
My dear junior sister, run away as fast as you can! The faster you run, the hungrier you get, and the happier I'll be!
Kissing Kim Yugyeom in the chest, Qiyue grabbed the token and cleaved it in two with a single sword strike. Kim Yugyeom, lying on the ground, glared angrily and let out a sharp, explosive cry: "No!!!"
He glared at Qiyue, his bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent: "I will tear you to pieces!!!"
"Torn to pieces? Is this the way you've chosen to die? I grant your permission." Qi Yue slightly raised her eyelids, her gaze icy and sinister.
Kim Yugyeom's eyes widened. He ran! A wise man doesn't stand under a crumbling wall; there's always tomorrow!
"Trying to run away?" Qiyue saw through Jin Youqian's thoughts at a glance. She flashed in front of Jin Youqian, blocking his way, and looked down at him with a smile.
In his horrified gaze, a sword slashed across his throat, blood splattering. He instinctively clutched his neck, and before collapsing to the ground, disbelief filled Kim Yugyeom's eyes.
Looking at Qiyue, Kim Yugyeom stretched out his hand, his mouth opening and closing as if he wanted to say something, but in the next instant, several sharp sword lights flashed past, and his gaze shifted away.
In his final moments, he was still thinking, he had planned everything perfectly, that person wasn't there, so why did he end up like this? The fasting pill... if only he had the fasting pill with him...
And my father...
Staring blankly at the scattered corpses on the ground, Qiyue swallowed a healing pill, glanced back at a certain spot in the thick fog, and the figure holding the sword disappeared again.
"Old Yu, do you think she saw us...?" Ruan Siyin's heart tightened as she thought of that cold look in her eyes.
Old Yu shook his head: "Impossible, she's just a little girl at the Golden Core stage, how could she possibly see us?"
"..." Ruan Siyin didn't speak. Her intuition told her that the woman had really seen them, just like she knew about Wanbaolou and Hengyang Sect from the beginning and then waited there for them to come to her.
Now it's their turn...
Seeing the once dashing and handsome man on the ground now reduced to a pile of minced meat, Ruan Siyin frowned, a chill running down her spine.
It's hard to imagine that such an innocent face could be so terrifying when it comes to killing...
Looking at Elder Yu, Ruan Siyin said solemnly, "I have a feeling that the further we go in, the more dangerous it becomes. I've changed my mind. We'll wait for them to come out outside the Forbidden Forest."
Old Yu frowned slightly: "But, the opportunity inside..."
"You'd have to be alive to take it." Ruan Siyin's voice was icy, her beautiful eyes showing displeasure at being questioned.
“Unlike us, who know nothing about this place, she knows it all too well. Instead of getting involved with them, we should just wait and see. Once we have all the people and things, it will be easy for her to bring us in.”
