The black fog instantly filled the entire forest, and it was pitch dark. The Xie siblings were nowhere to be seen.
It seemed as if she was the only one in this world.
"Thank you, Second Miss?"
"Thank you, Third Young Master?"
All she got in response was still an empty echo.
"System, help me keep an eye on that guy's movements."
[Okay, host, just leave it to me!]
Leng Qingning held the Broken Void Fan in her palm the whole time and never let down her guard. She couldn't help but feel a little solemn when she recalled the guy's attitude towards the Xie siblings. She hoped that they would be fine.
Rustle~
In the darkness, something seemed to be crawling on the grass behind him. Secretly testing, Leng Qingning pretended to be unaware and walked forward. The two sticky black tentacles crawling on the ground were extremely excited.
When they felt the time was right, the two sticky black tentacles released wet mucus and grabbed Leng Qingning's back with a "whoosh".
And the woman continued walking forward as if she hadn't noticed anything.
The black tentacles were panting with great excitement, and their soft and sticky claws bent into an arc, about to capture Leng Qingning.
The dazzling golden light formed three crescent-shaped arcs, cutting through the entire darkness.
“Ahhhhhhhh!——”
A sharp, exhausted scream was heard, and three black limbs like squid tentacles were seen wriggling on the grass. Wet black slime was oozing from the limbs, and the grass that was contaminated with it withered instantly.
"Ahhh, who are you, woman? Why can you hurt me?" The demon's severed limbs could not regenerate new ones. It looked at Leng Qingning with a look that was both resentful and a bit fearful.
The dense black fog that shrouded the forest dissipated at this moment, and the vision of the trapped Xie siblings suddenly became clear. Only then did they realize that they had been spinning in circles.
Those dark fog monsters seemed to be afraid of the two siblings. Although they kept staring at them, they did not take action.
Leng Qingning was not far away, holding the newly arrived black fog monster hostage with a golden folding fan. The brother and sister quickly ran towards her.
She was not surprised to see that the brother and sister were unharmed. From what the black fog monsters said, they seemed to dislike pure souls and would not attack them.
"Who the hell are you and why are you attacking monks? If you don't tell me, I will cut you into pieces!" Leng Qingning's Broken Void Fan stroked the humanoid monster with broken limbs.
The guy didn't say anything. He seemed very stubborn and didn't seem to think she would do that.
A row of sharp blades appeared on Leng Qingning's Broken Void Fan, and they slashed at the black fog monster. A black, unidentified object fell on the grass, and the black fog monster let out a series of screams.
"You...you are the devil. No, you are even scarier than the devil!"
Seeing that the black fog monster, which had a strong aura and an air of arrogance before, was like a good grandson in front of Leng Qingning, the Xie siblings twitched their lips slightly, their faces full of disbelief.
Could this cold girl be a disciple of some hermit sect of immortal cultivators?
"Do you want to surrender? If not, I will attack you. My swordsmanship is not very good, and I can't guarantee what will happen if something goes wrong." Leng Qingning used the Broken Void Fan in her hand to draw strokes on the monster from time to time, and the black fog monster trembled with fear from time to time.
The black fog monster screamed miserably and kept shrinking back.
"I beg you, I beg you, put the fan down now!"
The Xie siblings looked at her with admiration. This cold girl was indeed capable.
[Host, don't worry, I will help you keep an eye on him!]
"I am a resentful demon, specializing in feeding on resentment. This time, I am here only under the order of Lord Black Wind. We are just small fry, and we act according to the orders from above. We don't know any internal news, and the higher-ups won't let us know!"
"The devil of resentment?" Xie Lanxue murmured and fell into deep thought. She seemed to have heard this name somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
Wait until she returns to Xie's house and looks up some information in the library.
but……
The force that almost killed them was just a small fry. How powerful must the main force behind it be?
Not only the Xie siblings, Leng Qingning also took a breath in her heart. Could it be that she had triggered some important key figure again?
[I seem to remember that in the original plot, Qi Yunting subdued a vengeful demon servant, who swore allegiance to him until death. It was said that he was also of royal bloodline in his clan, and he therefore received the blessing of his clan.]
[Yeah, it seems Qi Yunting has also entered the secret realm. He seems to be the servant I found at the bottom of the cliff.]
Hearing the system's reminder, Leng Qingning pressed in, "Where is your Lord Black Wind?"
"Our Lord Black Wind is in the secret realm..." It was about to speak when its expression suddenly became extremely painful, and its entire body exploded.
I didn't expect that after working for so long, I didn't get any information at all. It seems that the forces behind this are extremely vigilant.
Leng Qingning put away the Broken Void Fan and turned to leave.
Xie Wensheng suddenly stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, benefactor. Do you want to walk with us? This forest is dangerous, so it would be safer to walk in a group."
Leng Qingning rejected their kindness. She still preferred to act alone. Moreover, if she encountered any opportunity, distribution would also be a problem. She liked the feeling of monopolizing resources.
"Alright, come back to your senses. From what I can see, this cold girl is focused on cultivation and has no such thoughts about you."
The boy, whose thoughts were exposed, was immediately furious and his cheeks suddenly turned red.
"Who... who likes her? I just think she would be in danger if she were alone."
Xie Lanxue looked at her brother helplessly. He looked so distraught, his thoughts were written all over his face.
No one knew how many resentful demons there were in this secret realm. Following the system's instructions, Leng Qingning took a shortcut and came to the bottom of the cliff.
"System, how far away is that servant?"
[It's less than a hundred meters further!]
[Host, do you want to subdue it?]
Leng Qingning smiled grimly and said, "How is that possible? Such an evil creature, specializing in luring others into becoming possessed and feeding on their resentment, of course he should be killed!"
As he finished speaking, he saw a battered black figure lying on the river bank not far away.
[That's him, host, hurry up, the hero will be here in five minutes!]
Leng Qingning looked at the black figure lying by the river. The Broken Void Fan in her hand drew a few arcs, and golden light flashed. The black shadow on the ground shattered into pieces, and was finally destroyed by her without leaving any residue.
The system swallowed upon seeing this.
[Host, you're serious. If you subdue it, you'll eventually gain the support of the entire resentful demon clan!]
"Stupid system, this guy's food is humans, and they use despicable methods to induce humans to increase their resentment so that they can eat it. If we feed it, it will inevitably harm people. I don't want such despicable and evil help."
