When Lan Hua appeared on the lake, there was indeed not a single ghost on the shore, so she felt relieved and went ashore.
"This consciousness space was built by that old man Yu Li, so naturally the Soul Nightmare wouldn't dare to step into the lake!"
"Hmph, if I hadn't been forced by these nightmares, I wouldn't have discovered the secret of the consciousness space!"
Lan Hua quickly ran towards the exit, hoping to leave the consciousness space and return to her physical body before the exit closed.
However, the journey was unusually quiet.
"Strange, even if these nightmares have left, the journey shouldn't have been this peaceful!"
"We haven't encountered a single Soul Nightmare!"
Just as Lan Hua was muttering to herself, a scream rang out.
The cries were pitiful and desperate.
"That's... the voice of a disciple of the Immortal Talisman Sect?"
Lan Hua rushed over upon hearing the sound.
The screams grew louder and louder, making him feel uneasy.
This place was too peaceful before, but now screams are coming from here; there must be something supernatural about it.
Moreover, the Immortal Talisman Sect disciples are divided into teams of twenty. Even if they are no match for Soul Nightmare, who is at the Yuan Dan Realm, they can still protect themselves.
Moreover, Lan Hua is more inclined to believe that the Immortal Talisman Sect provided each disciple with a life-saving item.
After all, talisman masters are extremely rare among cultivators.
Even excessive protection of one's disciples is not excessive.
When Lan Hua arrived at the scene, she was stunned. The scene was chaotic, with screams echoing everywhere.
A gigantic demon is frantically reaping the disciples of the Immortal Talisman Sect.
The monster resembled a starfish, its body covered in pustules and covered in tentacles, some hundreds of feet long. When it danced, it was extremely terrifying.
It's an evil spirit!
An evil spirit with at least the strength of the Danxia Realm!
More accurately, it is the spirit of an evil spirit.
Lan Hua was filled with horror. "How could this evil spirit appear in the consciousness space?"
"The entrance to the consciousness space is located above the main hall of the Immortal Talisman Sect, guarded by numerous elders and protectors. How could anyone possibly enter?"
After realizing the danger, many disciples of the Immortal Talisman Sect immediately summoned a talisman.
As soon as the talisman was cast, a beam of light descended from the sky and enveloped the disciple.
Then the figure flashed and disappeared.
"A guiding talisman!"
"The Immortal Talisman Sect really did leave a backup plan for its disciples!"
Lan Hua had seen this guiding talisman in the collection pavilion before; it could quickly guide the soul.
At this moment, outside the Immortal Talisman Hall, Immortal Talisman Sect disciples suddenly appeared one after another, returning to their original forms.
Fu Shengyuan asked in surprise, "What's going on? There's still half a day left before the trial ends, so why have so many disciples returned using the guiding talismans?"
Yang Chen said, "Using a guiding talisman at this time means they must have encountered some danger!"
After a disciple's soul entered the body, he woke up leisurely and was immediately questioned by Fu Shengyuan about what had happened inside.
The disciple, his face filled with terror, exclaimed, "It's an evil spirit! The evil spirit's soul has appeared in the consciousness space and is wreaking havoc inside!"
"Several of my fellow disciples were killed before they could even escape!"
Fu Shengyuan's expression changed drastically, and he immediately cast a mind-concentrating talisman on himself.
After sitting for a moment, his spirit passed through the entrance to the consciousness space in an attempt to save his disciple's life as quickly as possible.
On the battlefield, many disciples had just cast their guiding talismans when they were killed by evil spirits before they could even leave.
The destruction of the soul is no different from true death, and the body without a soul will quickly decay.
Lan Hua didn't want the Immortal Talisman Sect disciples to die like this, and was about to step in to save them when a beautiful figure arrived.
The man swiftly used his talismanic arts to block the evil spirit's attack, saving the life of one of his disciples.
The person who arrived was Zhao Xing'er.
Zhao Xing'er's hands moved non-stop, casting one defensive talisman after another in front of her.
However, the evil spirit is so powerful that Zhao Xing'er has not yet broken through to the Transformation Realm, and is only at the peak of the Pure Yuan Realm.
No amount of defensive spells can withstand its attack.
boom!
An extremely long tentacle lunged at Zhao Xing'er, striking her and sending her flying.
His mind was wavering and extremely unstable.
One more blow and Zhao Xing'er will be annihilated.
Lan Hua quickly drew her bow.
A powerful, invisible arrow shot out, then split into four arrows, striking the tentacles that were slashing at Zhao Xing'er.
The tentacles, in pain, lost their aim and struck right next to Zhao Xing'er.
Zhao Xing'er escaped death, but her face turned deathly pale with fright. However, the arrow she had just received gave her a sense of familiarity.
Just as the evil spirit was about to abandon Zhao Xing'er and attack Lan Hua, many fireballs suddenly rained down from the sky, bombarding the evil spirit.
"Damn evil spirit, don't you dare hurt my junior sister!"
The fireball came from the Fallen Fire Talisman Technique, and the person who came was none other than the sect leader's chief disciple, Zhou Kai.
Zhou Kai and Zhao Xing'er were originally on separate teams, but not far apart. When they saw something unusual happening here, they rushed over to help.
The evil spirits were not afraid of the fireballs filling the sky.
Countless tentacles rushed into the sky, blasting the fireballs apart one by one.
Knowing the evil spirit was powerful, Zhou Kai quickly grabbed Zhao Xing'er and ran.
"Junior sister, quickly use the guiding talisman to leave the consciousness space!"
Zhao Xing'er asked worriedly, "And what about you?"
Zhou Kai laughed and said, "I have to lure this evil spirit away, otherwise if it targets other fellow disciples, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Seeing that Zhao Xing'er still wanted to stay, Zhou Kai laughed and said, "Your soul is already injured. If you stay, you'll only hold me back!"
Zhao Xing'er nodded obediently, cast a guiding talisman, and after being enveloped in light, she quickly disappeared.
Seeing that he had no worries, Zhou Kai shouted at the evil spirit, "If you have the guts, come with me!"
The evil spirit gave an ugly smile, licked its lips, and charged towards Zhou Kai.
Looking in the direction Zhou Kai fled, Lan Hua nodded to herself, "Zhou Kai truly lives up to his senior brother's reputation; he's so calm!"
"This direction leads to the exit, where there are many Yuan Dan realm protectors. Trapping the evil spirit shouldn't be a problem!"
"I just don't know if he can hold on until then!"
Lan Hua followed the evil spirit at a distance, after all, he also needed to return to the human world from the exit.
Zhou Kai used his Sky-Soaring Talisman to escape quickly.
Along the way, they would occasionally encounter returning groups, and from a distance, they would ask them to use their guide talismans to escape.
boom!
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and several tentacles broke through Zhou Kai's defensive talisman and struck him heavily in the chest.
After suffering this blow, Zhou Kai was on the verge of his soul collapsing.
Even Zhou Kai, with his peak Transformation Realm strength, was no match for the evil spirit.
Lan Hua shook her head helplessly, then drew her bow and drew her arrow once more.
He couldn't just watch Zhou Kai die like that, otherwise who would he challenge to a duel?
He was waiting for the competition to end so he could ask someone to remove the Heart-Eating Talisman from Helian Kuang.
Lan Hua unleashed her full power, using her strongest move.
A path cleared by a thousand arrows.
A magnificent arrow pierced the sky and disappeared into the gray expanse.
boom!
Hundreds of arrows pierced through the dark clouds, falling like rain, sweeping towards the evil spirit.
With his strength, being able to summon a hundred arrows is already his limit.
The evil spirit scoffed at the trivial skill, then waved its tentacles to block all the arrows.
Upon hearing this move, Lan Hua immediately felt her soul weaken.
This move was ultimately somewhat forced.
Lan Hua could no longer care about anything else and took off running.
If he were targeted by an evil spirit at this moment, he would only face certain death.
In just a few breaths, Zhou Kai got a brief respite and continued his escape toward the exit.
The evil spirit chuckled maliciously, "This strike will send you to your death!"
Countless tentacles pierced Zhou Kai's back. If this attack hit, Zhou Kai's soul would be shattered into pieces.
Suddenly, a massive defensive talisman appeared behind Zhou Kai, blocking the countless tentacles.
"You took the lives of my Immortal Talisman Sect disciples, you'll pay with your life!"
