"The fact that the mortals haven't gone mad proves that this strange place has only been around for less than five days."
Lin Hai's expression relaxed slightly. "Let's go and find the elders and meet up with them immediately, and escape together."
Xiang Jianjue had no objection and took Lin Hai to the place where he and the elder had lost each other.
"Big Brother, this mysterious place seems to be different from the one I saw when I was a child."
Xiang Jianjue walked sideways, almost sticking to Lin Hai, while looking around vigilantly. "Although I was young at that time, I still remember that it was impossible for such a thick white fog to appear in the strange land in just two days."
Lin Hai hummed lightly, his tone a little absent-minded.
After Xiang Jianjue broke through the mastery realm, his perception became much sharper than before. He immediately heard that his senior brother was in a strange state, but he did not point it out. He just kept a watchful eye on him.
After walking for a while, they finally saw the outline of the houses in the small town.
"The white mist in the room is much lighter, and there are mortals hiding there. Maybe we've seen the elders. Big Brother, let's go over there quickly."
Xiang Jianjue held onto Lin Hai's hand tightly and walked quickly towards the outline of the house in his sight. Just as he was about to push open the door, he was stopped by Lin Hai behind him.
"Big Brother?"
Xiang Jianjue turned around and looked at Lin Hai's vague facial features, his throat tightening, "What's wrong with you?"
Veins popped out on Lin Hai's forehead as he struggled to squeeze out a few words from his throat: "Don't... go in, it's dangerous!"
Xiang Jianjue's pupils suddenly shrank, and without saying a word, he hugged Lin Hai and rushed to the side.
The next moment, the door slammed open, and thousands of wandering souls rushed out of the room, turning into a black torrent.
These wandering souls can walk freely in the Ghost Gorge and devour living people, but after being exposed to the white fog, they seem to have encountered their natural enemies. In the blink of an eye, they melt like ice and snow and are completely destroyed.
In contrast, the white mist was also consumed a lot, and it became visibly thinner with the naked eye, but it soon became thick again.
Xiang Jianjue, who witnessed the whole process, was horrified. He turned around to look at his senior brother and suddenly saw many different faces on Lin Hai's distorted face.
Wandering souls! The eldest brother had been ambushed before, and many wandering souls had entered his body.
“Hurry…go!”
Lin Hai's eyes widened in agony, and he squeezed out a sentence with all his strength, "I can't hold on any longer!"
Devoured by countless wandering souls and having his mind torn apart, he will soon turn into a madman like the Diyin Demon. If Xiang Jianjue doesn't leave, he will die in his hands.
Xiang Jianjue's eyes suddenly turned red, but his feet remained fixed in place.
There must be a way! The eldest brother is his closest relative, he will definitely be able to save him...
The files and books he had read every day flashed through his mind quickly, and the anxious inner breath stimulated his thinking to be faster.
Wandering soul, with his strength, how can he get rid of the wandering soul in the eldest brother?
Suddenly, his eyes fixed.
"The sword can destroy everything!" He remembered the contents of the sect's sword book.
At the same time, the admonitions of the senior masters still echoed in my ears, "Follow your heart."
Yes, what the senior master said was true. The sword is born from the heart, and it can kill anything! If he could transform his heart into a sword, he could kill all the wandering souls in the eldest brother's body.
No time to hesitate!
Xiang Jianjue gritted his teeth, raised the sword in his hand, and a captivating sword light flashed in his eyes, and he stabbed it fiercely into Lin Hai's heart!
The next moment, the sword shone brightly, and the sword energy spread across the body, penetrating the flesh and blood of the wound and sweeping through the meridians.
Lin Hai raised his head and opened his mouth to spit out a large mouthful of black blood. Countless wandering souls emerged from the blood and stared at Xiang Jianjue with resentment, but before they could kill him, they were completely dissolved by the white mist.
Lin Hai's eyes also regained clarity. He held the sword to his chest and bared his teeth. "You kid... that sword is really cruel!"
"Big Brother!"
Xiang Jianjue burst into tears of joy, his knees buckling as he knelt on the ground. The sword strike just now had already drained all his energy and spirit.
Lin Hai drew his sword and stood up to stop the bleeding. He took out a few pills and swallowed them. Hun Dun's mind regained some clarity. He immediately smiled and patted Xiang Jian Jue on the shoulder: "You saved my life this time. Now our account is even."
"Big Brother, please stop saying that."
Xiang Jianjue felt a little embarrassed. Thinking of the scene just now, he still felt scared. "I also took a gamble. If it doesn't work..."
"Isn't this done?"
Lin Hai had just escaped death, so he was quite open-minded. He smiled and said, "But you, kid, actually have a hidden trick up your sleeve. Just half a month ago, you were telling me you were stuck at a bottleneck and couldn't break through, but now you've even mastered the legendary Heart Sword."
