The sect leader of Wuji Sect looked grim.
Previously, he had secretly arranged for Wen Yutian to enter the Gobi Desert, giving Wen Yutian a chance to kill Su Qing, but unexpectedly, Wen Yutian's soul lamp went out.
It was one thing for Wen Yutian to die, since he had long been a discarded pawn of the Wuji Sect anyway. But who would have thought that among the three Nascent Soul cultivators of the Wuji Sect who entered the Gobi Desert, another soul lamp would go out!
The Soul Lamp is a wisp of soul left behind by a Nascent Soul cultivator before entering the Gobi Desert. Once the person dies, the Soul Lamp wrapped with the soul wisp will go out!
The Wuji Sect has always been very ambitious. They not only strive to cultivate their own cultivators, but also unite with many cultivation families to establish a community.
For example, the Yan family.
Losing a Core Formation cultivator was still acceptable, but now they have actually lost two Nascent Soul cultivators!
These are all cultivators at the Dharma Protector level.
Just as grim-faced as the leader of the Wuji Sect was the sect leader of the Wuxiao Sect, for just now, one of their sect's soul lamps had gone out!
Then they heard that the Xuanling Sect was going to withdraw from the sect competition!
"The Xuanling Sect is truly cunning," the Wuji Sect Master gritted his teeth.
In truth, the Xuanling Sect's losses were not significant.
Disciples from other sects and families rarely choose to withdraw when they encounter danger during the sect competition, because if they withdraw, they will face expulsion from the sect and can only become a rogue cultivator in the future.
This gave them a greater advantage in previous sect competitions.
But this time was different. While their disciples were dying one after another in the Gobi Desert, the disciples of Xuanling Sect chose to crush the counting spirit stones and withdraw from the sect competition.
Many of the Xuanling Sect disciples have already returned. Judging from a rough look, twenty or thirty disciples have already chosen to withdraw, and everyone is bustling about discussing something.
On the other hand, the few who withdrew all kept their distance and looked ashamed.
"Perhaps we should also withdraw from the sect competition," a protector of the Wuji Sect whispered.
The sect leader snorted coldly and said, "Why should we withdraw? It's just a small loss. In the past, which sect competition didn't result in the loss of one-third of our fighting force? Even if we lose a little more this time, even if we're left with only one-third, as long as three or five of the Core Formation cultivators inside successfully form Nascent Souls, our Wuji Sect can continue to dominate the Wuyuan Continent!"
The Yan family patriarch also had a cold face, and he scolded the younger generation below: "Our ancestor is still inside, what is there to worry about!"
Just then, the soul lamp of the Yan family patriarch flickered and then went out!
The Yan family patriarch's face turned deathly pale.
The patriarch of the Yan family is the pillar of the Yan family and the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the family.
Because of the Yan family patriarch, the Yan family was able to maintain a place among the many cultivation families. Now that the Yan family is gone, what will become of them...?
On the Gobi Desert, a woman coldly stared at the lifeless Yan family patriarch lying on the ground.
"A Nascent Soul cultivator, not bad!"
The soul of the Yan family patriarch was absorbed into the Yin-Yang Banner, and the woman showed a satisfied expression.
She fell into demonic cultivation a hundred years ago and has been tempering herself in the Gobi Desert ever since, along with the Yin-Yang Banner in her hand.
Now, she has received a kill order from the Demon Realm.
Is it really possible to become a protector of the Demon Realm simply by killing a female cultivator in the Core Formation stage?
Her current combat power is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the Yin-Yang Banner has even captured several Nascent Soul stage vengeful spirits.
"This woman, tsk tsk." The woman opened a portrait, which was attached to the kill order issued by the Demon Realm.
She pouted in disgust.
"So ugly."
After saying that, the woman put the portrait away, her nose twitching slightly as she searched for her next prey!
She is the little witch of the Gobi Desert, and every demon cultivator in the Gobi Desert has heard of her name.
Don't be fooled by this little witch's pretty face and curvaceous figure; she has long since lost her human form and completely fallen into demonic ways!
She not only hunted down cultivators and slaughtered villages, but also attacked other demonic cultivators, using extremely ruthless methods.
The little witch had long wanted to visit the Demon Realm. She had heard that the Demon Lord had an unparalleled face and always wanted to see it for herself. However, the Demon Realm was protected by a barrier, and without the guidance of the demons, they, as demon cultivators, could not enter.
This time, the Demon Realm issued a kill order, which gave the Little Witch an opportunity.
The little witch has an exceptionally sensitive nose; she can smell the scent of cultivators and judge their numbers and distances based on that scent.
"A thousand meters away, there is a group of eight cultivators." The little witch's eyes flashed red, and she felt her blood boiling.
These eight cultivators are very strong, including two Nascent Soul cultivators and six Core Formation cultivators.
She wasn't going to let them off the hook.
Then, the little witch vanished like a ghost. A gust of wind swept through, covering everything with a layer of yellow sand, erasing all traces.
“Jinshapo is just ahead,” Shui Qingchen said.
After leaving the sandworm's nest, they headed towards Jinshapo.
Jinshapo doesn't mean there's actually gold in the sand, but rather that at sunset, the entire hillside shimmers with golden light, as if it were covered in golden sand.
In fact, the metal elemental energy in Jinshapo is very strong, which is why the sand here is covered with a layer of golden light.
Elder Qiu wanted to extract some materials for refining weapons here, so everyone came to Jinshapo together.
Su Qing narrowed her eyes and looked towards Jinshapo.
If they could purify all the sand from Jinshapo and reforge their weapons and armor, their fighting strength would be even greater.
However, in a place like Jinshapo, where the metal elemental spiritual energy is abundant, one is bound to encounter demonic cultivators.
I just hope the demonic cultivators I encounter won't be too troublesome.
In the shadows, a pair of eyes swept over Su Qing, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
"Found her!" The little witch raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect to be so lucky; this female cultivator actually delivered herself to my doorstep."
The little witch sized up the eight people one by one, her gaze settling on Xuan Qingye.
An ice-attribute unique spiritual root—such geniuses are rare. If I could drain his blood, I wonder if my cultivation could improve further.
"His appearance is quite good too." The little witch stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.
When she encounters a handsome cultivator, the little witch will keep his skin and then refine it into puppets to form her harem.
Currently, there are more than ten of these puppet male cultivators.
Among these demonic cultivators, the little witch placed a vengeful ghost within her. Not only was it good-looking, but it was also quite powerful in combat. It could be said to be part of her harem army!
Xuan Qingye seemed to sense something, glancing in the direction of the little witch, and then his eyes fixed on her.
The little witch's charm spell had been activated, and Xuan Qingye was captivated in just one glance.
