Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord raised his hand and was about to release demonic energy into the sky.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chengqi, who was guarding the fire, suddenly trembled his hand.
The net that trapped the mountain ghost suddenly loosened.
It seemed that the mountain ghost was about to turn into a cloud of smoke and disappear.
The leader suddenly took out a handful of silver needles and stabbed them into the mountain ghost's body.
A suppressed groan was heard, and the mountain ghost fell to the ground in pain, curling up into a small ball.
"What's going on?"
The leader quickly repaired the net and asked loudly again.
His tone was not very good, and it was somewhat questioning.
This is very different from his usual elegant and gentle temperament and soft and kind tone.
Lu Chengqi stood there in a daze, hesitating for a moment.
He didn't know why he was possessed just now. When he heard that familiar voice, he couldn't help but follow suit.
The young man's beautiful dark almond-shaped eyes quietly swept across the surroundings.
He had a strong feeling that the person - Lin Manman must be around here.
But why did she want to hide her tracks and not let anyone find her?
Seeing this, the leader's expression became even more grim, and he said in a deep voice:
"This evil spirit has wreaked havoc on the world and brought countless disasters to the local people."
"Chengqi, since you are the eldest brother of the Jiangcheng Lu family, you must set a good example."
"You know, your laxity just now is likely to allow the evil spirit to escape, causing it to become even more powerful."
"At the same time, you must remember that every position you and your fellow apprentices take is the key to the entire Evil-Slaying Formation."
"If one person lets down their guard, it could very well bring disaster to others."
"At such a critical moment, you must stay where you are and do everything the City Lord instructs you to do!"
"So, Chengqi, tell me, why did you let your guard down just now?"
[What are you asking? You have so many questions. Why don’t you write a hundred thousand whys?!]
[He pretends to be righteous, but who knows what he's really thinking.]
As soon as he heard this unpleasant voice, Lu Chengqi's original feeling of guilt suddenly disappeared.
Looking at the leader's face, which was sometimes bright and sometimes dim in the blazing fire, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Yes, the arrival of the new leader of the Jade Maiden Sect is really strange.
As soon as he arrived, he went to find his master.
Originally, the master didn't want to pay attention to him.
However, the new leader didn't know what method he used, but he easily convinced the master.
Otherwise, how could he, an outsider, gain a foothold in the Jade Maiden Sect so quickly and gain such great prestige among the people?
The most crucial thing is that Lu Chengqi suddenly discovered that the mountain ghost actually arrived in Jiangcheng at the same time as the new leader.
He seemed to know everything about the mountain ghost.
He was also the first one to suggest that there were mountain ghosts causing trouble.
Could it be that he was the one who brought the mountain ghost? !
As soon as this thought came out, Lin Manman's voice rang out:
What grudge does he have against the mountain ghost? Not only will he burn it with the hellish fire, but he will also use the disciples of the Jiangcheng Lu family to set up an evil-killing formation.
[There is no definitive evidence to prove that the Jiangcheng woman's strange illness was caused by a mountain ghost.]
[Furthermore, how come this formation is exactly the same as the Soul Locking Formation that the Immortal Venerable used to seal the demons that day?]
[No, this is totally wrong! Why are all the mountain people here?]
Upon hearing this, Lu Chengqi turned his head quickly.
I saw the mountain people who were supposed to go down the mountain and go home.
At this time, a long line of people walked towards them stiffly.
Among them, in addition to the common people who brought Mrs. Jin, the bride and others, there were also the family and friends of the woman who had fallen ill earlier.
This group of people was huge, with more than a hundred people.
[Oh! It's a dark, windy, and dewy night. Doesn't he claim to be a compassionate and kind person? Why didn't he send anyone to send the sick women back? Isn't he afraid that their condition will get worse?]
【Or, he actually has another purpose. 】
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chengqi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Yeah, that's weird!
This weirdness is more than just the weird state of ordinary people.
What was even more bizarre was that they didn't even glance at Lu Chengqi and the others, but walked straight towards each woman standing there.
In a short while, three ordinary people stood behind each woman.
Like the women, they all had their heads hung low and expressionless, like the walking dead.
What the hell is going on?!
Lu Chengqi was shocked.
Then, he discovered that his fellow apprentices had also lost their voices since some time ago.
Like everyone else present, they all faced the fire with their heads bowed.
The leader of the Jade Maiden Sect, who had been questioning him just now, was now standing outside the crowd, looking at them expressionlessly.
If it weren’t for Lin Manman’s voice, reminding him from time to time.
I'm afraid Lu Chengqi would have already become distracted.
While Lu Chengqi was expressing his gratitude to Lin Manman, he suddenly thought, this... is this the soul-stealing technique of the ghostly poisonous seedling?!
He naturally did not forget that during the day, he led his fellow junior brothers to fight against the saint from the ghost den and poisonous seedlings.
At that time, they also tried to control several fellow apprentices with soul-stealing techniques.
Just because their skills were not yet up to par, he easily saw through them.
Afterwards, he brought the sisters back to the Jade Maiden Sect.
Thinking back carefully, the situation of the few junior brothers who were infected at that time was exactly the same as the situation of everyone present now!
