When the Icefield Sky-Swallowing Python realized that something was wrong and started struggling violently, the densely woven electric net emitted a dazzling white light and a burning smell filled the air.
The huge body turned into a lump of pitch-black charcoal. Leng Qingning dug out its demon pill and collected the Icefield Sky-Swallowing Python into the space. This high-level demon beast was full of treasures and could be sold at a good price.
She quickly and carefully picked the colorful ice lotus and put it in the white jade box used to store elixirs. The essence of the colorful ice lotus lies in the seven colorful lotus seeds. She also picked the lotus roots hidden in the river.
Its petals and lotus roots can also be used as medicine. It just so happens that the petals and rhizomes of the seven-colored ice lotus are the ingredients for several elixirs.
Just as she turned around and was about to leave, she heard the sound of fighting not far away. The people's steps were disorderly, and they must have been injured.
Hearing the sound, which was still approaching her, Leng Qingning frowned slightly.
Right now, it's impossible to leave quickly.
Leng Qingning's figure flashed and she quickly disappeared from the spot, hiding in a lush ancient tree nearby, which just covered her petite body.
After she disappeared, Ji Shaoyu, Shao Shang and several disciples of Shenyang Sect were attacked by a large group of black fog. The condition of several disciples of Shenyang Sect did not look good and they were all covered with scars.
Among them, the man that Shao Shang was supporting was the most seriously injured. There was a bloody hole in his abdomen, and a large amount of blood was flowing out, staining his white clothes red.
Leng Qingning, who was hiding in the ancient tree, couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw this. After all, Ji Shaoyu was at the early stage of distraction, and he was one of the stronger disciples. Who could have hurt them so badly?
"Big Brother, what should we do? Yuan Che's injury can no longer be delayed. We need to find a place for him to be healed."
A round-faced female cultivator in green clothes anxiously put the pill into the mouth of the injured disciple. The injured disciple's face was pale due to excessive blood loss.
"How could this happen? I've taken so many powerful medicines, but why can't the wound stop?" This weird thing made the pills seem to have lost their effect in front of it.
"What are the origins of these damn weird things? We can't kill them, so why do they keep chasing us?" Shao Shang's arm was scratched by the strange black mist, and the wound was already faintly black.
"I heard it call itself a demon of resentment. It seems to feed on people's resentment. The wounds it causes cannot be healed. This thing is very strange. We'd better be careful."
Ji Shaoyu's arms were trembling slightly. This was the sequelae of excessive fatigue. They had been chased by these things for a whole day and night. Their hands had cut off the tentacles of countless evil demons, and their bodies were already exhausted.
Ji Shaoyu said with a weary expression, "I've already sent a message to the sect. They're trying to send people into the secret realm to provide support. Before that, we must unite with the other major sects and immortal cultivation families to deal with it together. Otherwise, more and more people will fall prey to its clutches."
The yellow-skirted female cultivator beside Shao Shang said, "Big Brother, you don't have to worry about this. I've already contacted the others and told them about this vengeful demon. Now, if you see one, try to stick together."
Shao Shang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Jingjing is really thoughtful."
However, the next second, when he saw the black air surrounding him, the smile on his face disappeared.
They saw that the resentful demon that had been left behind by them was catching up with them again.
This damn guy kept pressing on and refused to let them go.
"Hehehe~"
"You little brats, you're such a pain to find. You didn't really think you could get rid of me that easily, did you?"
Just then, a sinister voice was heard. Leng Qingning was huddled against a tree trunk with her arms folded, wondering when these people would leave. She didn't expect to encounter this ghost thing again.
"It's you again!" Bai Daoyun covered the terrible bloody hole in his abdomen and stared at the pair of red eyes in the black fog.
When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with jealousy, and the forest is surrounded by thick black smoke.
The black mist took the shape of a human, stretched out countless tentacles, and attacked them.
"Jingjing, Xiyun, you two protect Junior Brother Bai, and leave this evil demon to us."
Su Jingjing was an alchemist and not good at fighting, and Xiyun was also seriously injured by the black fog monster and was not suitable for fighting. The two of them had no objection to the arrangement made by the eldest brother.
Among their group of eight people, the injured Bai Daoyun and the other two were protected in the center.
It was originally bright and sunny, but in a blink of an eye, it turned dark.
"Tsk tsk tsk~ You little brats are so dishonest, you even resorted to sneak attacks. Don't think I can't detect you just because you're hiding in the dark~"
The black mist transformed into a pitch-black tentacle, which stretched out towards the dense branches of the towering ancient trees nearby.
Under the astonished gaze of the Shen Yang Sect members, they saw the ordinary-looking woman in green clothes open the golden folding fan in her hand, cut off the black tentacles, and land lightly on the ground.
Several people were suddenly horrified and unconsciously moved closer to each other, looking at her warily.
This person has been hiding here for so long, and no one has noticed him. They don't know whether he is a friend or an enemy.
However, when the woman turned around, Ji Shaoyu and Shao Shangcai couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "It's you!" "It's you!"
They knew that this woman had great cultivation, but masters all had tempers. They were not related at all, so why would this woman help them?
"Big Brother, Second Brother, do you know her?" Several disciples of Shenyang Sect breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she wasn't an enemy.
"We met once," said Ji Shaoyu.
The thing that Shao Shang was most grateful for was that he did not attack those wandering cultivators at that time.
Unexpectedly, the moment the black mist saw him, it revealed a greedy and enjoyable expression, and couldn't help but moan in a low voice: "What a nourishing soul~"
"Grudge, my favorite kind of grudge. I never thought there would be a soul with such a strong grudge in this world!"
This was the second time she heard the resentful demon say that her soul was full of resentment. Leng Qingning couldn't help but frown. She didn't notice anything unusual in her body, and she didn't know where the resentment in her soul came from.
"Hehe~ So many souls~"
At this moment, three black shadows flew over from not far away. This time, everyone's faces turned pale again.
"Senior, we are facing a powerful enemy. How about we work together to repel the enemy?" Ji Shaoyu looked at her earnestly.
Leng Qingning nodded lightly, and these people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The countless black tentacles around were already impatient, releasing octopus-like black tentacles one after another, forming a dark cage above everyone, trapping them tightly inside.
Ji Shaoyu and Shao Shang moved in unison, simultaneously slashing out two sharp sword energies, red and blue, at the tentacles in mid-air.
Two of the pitch-black tentacles were cut off and condensed again in an instant.
