In just half an hour, the mountains, which had seemed so quiet and peaceful, suddenly became dark.
At the beginning, Zhang Daxian and his group didn't feel anything. They thought it was just because it was late and the sky was getting dark. After all, the mountains were surrounded by white fog, and it was already difficult enough for them to find the way. It was normal that they couldn't tell the direction clearly.
As they went deeper into the mountains, the large copper bell hanging from Zhang Daxian's waist suddenly began to buzz loudly. Suddenly realizing something, everyone's faces changed drastically. One of the elders walking in the front shouted loudly, "Oh no! This isn't the weather getting dark, it's the yin energy. The dark color is the yin energy spreading upwards."
"Yin Qi, how is that possible? No matter how strong the Yin Qi is, it's impossible for it to spread to such an extent?" The taller of the two Wang brothers couldn't help but question it.
Although the two Wang brothers were young, they had frequently undertaken numerous missions to improve their strength and had even encountered powerful demons. However, they had never encountered such a large-scale and substantial Yin Qi. In other words, according to their understanding, no matter how powerful the Yin Qi was, it could not be generated on such a large scale.
However, the next moment, the facts slapped them in the face. A certain metaphysical disciple who was walking at the back did not pay attention to the evil spirit coming from behind, and subconsciously waved his hand to drive away the fog that blocked his vision.
So, in the next second, the little disciple suddenly screamed miserably. He saw that the evil energy had devoured the little disciple's entire right arm without him knowing when, and immediately reacted.
I saw that under the skin of the little disciple's entire right arm, it seemed as if there were some small insects crawling around, densely packed, making the skin bumpy and looking particularly scary.
The young disciple's face turned pale in an instant, and he was terrified. His right arm, which had been devoured by the Yin energy, was completely out of control. Suddenly, it grew an inch-long sharp nail, which was about to stab towards his heart!
At this critical moment, someone shouted "Go!" and the "Immortal Binding Rope" directly wrapped around the young disciple's out-of-control right arm, making him unable to move. On the other side, the old senior had quickly affixed a yellow talisman for exorcism. Stimulated by the talisman, the twisted little insects under the skin began to jump around in panic.
Upon seeing this, the old senior immediately added several yellow talismans to dispel evil spirits, and the young disciple's right arm gradually returned to its original state. But at this moment, the young disciple was a little crazy, and suddenly he laughed wildly by himself, as if he wanted to struggle free and rush into the evil spirit.
"Oh no, the Yin energy has invaded my body, but it's only been a short time..."
Everyone's expressions had become a little solemn at this moment. As disciples of the metaphysical world who often wandered on the edge of Yin Qi, they naturally knew very well what the invasion of Yin Qi was, but they also knew even more clearly how much damage the invasion of Yin Qi would cause them. It would be best to dispel the Yin Qi immediately when it invaded, otherwise once the Yin Qi passed through the body, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If the injury is mild, it will probably take at least three days to recover. If the injury is severe, it will probably last a lifetime. The reason is nothing else but that once the Yin energy invades the body, it will infinitely magnify all the dark sides of the invader's heart. If one cannot control his dark side, he will never be able to recover.
Because of this, people who study metaphysics are most afraid of the invasion of Yin energy into the body. When they first discover the invasion of Yin energy, they will immediately expel it. However, it takes at least one day from the general invasion to the passing of the body, and it can still be salvaged.
But now, how long has it been? The moment the old senior discovered the invasion of evil spirits, he had already used the talisman to drive away the evil spirits. He even used four or five talismans in one breath. Under normal circumstances, such an amount is enough to build a small yellow talisman formation.
But even so, it took less than twenty minutes for this little disciple to be invaded by the evil spirit.
"This is really bad. It seems that the Yin energy here is unusual. Let's set up an exorcism formation first to see if we can make this little disciple sober up. If that doesn't work, then we can only go down the mountain. The reaction of this mountain is unusual now. We may have misjudged it. At this level, I'm afraid we are not the only ones who can act."
One of the old seniors said this and nodded to Zhang Daxian, indicating that he might need the help of Zhang Daxian's "Immortal Binding Rope" to first bind the young disciple whose body had been invaded by the Yin Qi. Zhang Daxian nodded. He had already vaguely anticipated the severity of this journey, and he chanted the spell to drive the "Immortal Binding Rope" without hesitation.
However, at this moment, an accident happened. Something suddenly pierced Zhang Daxian's back while he was concentrating on chanting the spell. Blood suddenly spurted out and the spell was interrupted. The young disciple who was tied up by the "Binding Rope" immediately broke free. In just a moment, he rushed into the darkness and disappeared without a trace.
But this was not the most frightening thing for the whole team. What frightened them the most was that the weapon that stabbed Zhang Daxian was not anything else but the one they were most familiar with, a special magic weapon belonging to another old senior!
"Master Zhang!! You... No, that's not right, you're not Master Zhang, you're possessed!"
"Shh—don't shout so loudly, it's unpleasant to the ear. Alas, this old man's body is really not in good condition. It feels like walking is grinding against my bones. If it weren't for this old man's spiritual energy that was attractive enough to me, especially the dark part in his heart, it would really be delicious enough, but I still prefer a younger body..."
At that moment, Senior Zhang, who had originally looked kind, suddenly smiled strangely, revealing a weird, twisted and strange face. His terrifying bloodshot eyes swept through the crowd and suddenly stopped on the tall and particularly conspicuous disciple of the Shen family.
Suddenly, the Shen family disciple's face changed, and he had a very bad premonition. He immediately took out a handful of yellow talismans for exorcism as if they were free, and barely blocked the claws that Elder Zhang suddenly stretched out.
Burned by the yellow talisman, Old Zhang retracted it in pain. Seeing that the others were now ready to use their magic tools to tie him up, Old Zhang made a "tsk" sound and immediately changed his target. He twisted the young disciple who was already frightened beside him, and ran away with a crazy laugh, disappearing in the yin energy. His skills and speed were completely unlike those of an ordinary old man.
The one captured by Elder Zhang was none other than the disciple who had just said that he didn't believe the Yin Qi could be this serious. He was the taller of the two Wang brothers and also the eldest. The remaining Wang brother saw this and immediately became furious. He shouted "Big Brother" and wanted to rush out to fight, but was stopped by another elder: "Calm down! If you rush out now, you will only give the ghoul a little more leverage. I am now very sure that the one possessing Elder Zhang is a ghoul, and a ghoul of a completely different level from the ones we have encountered before!"
"Then why would it be my brother? The monster was clearly heading for that guy surnamed Shen. If it wasn't for that guy surnamed Shen blocking it, it couldn't have been my brother who got in trouble!"
All of a sudden, the faces of the young disciples around turned unhappy. The young disciples standing next to Wang's younger brother even stepped back a few steps with disgust on their faces.
Zhang Daxian, who had always been quite upright, couldn't help but lecture him, even though he was seriously injured and looked unhappy. "Wang family disciples, is this how your sect teaches you? Are only your Wang family disciples important? Are the other metaphysical disciples unimportant?!"
Zhang Daxian's loud shout immediately sobered the furious Wang family brother. He seemed to have realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his face became a little ugly for a moment, especially when he saw that the surrounding metaphysical disciples did not look at him well.
But Wang's younger brother didn't think he was at fault. It was obvious that his brother shouldn't have suffered this disaster. His brother was implicated. It was all the fault of that Shen. It was the Shen family's disciples who were targeted. Why should his brother suffer for him? What if something happened?!
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. Finally, the most experienced and powerful senior spoke up, "Calm down. Internal control is not a good thing for us right now. We've lost three people at once, one of whom is Elder Zhang. Our situation is extremely serious."
"And given the current situation, we can't just retreat like this. We can't just leave the abducted metaphysical disciples alone. Otherwise, they really won't be able to come back. Worse still, it might even increase the strength of the ghouls. And Zhang Daxian is injured again... We can only split into two groups. One team will go after Master Zhang, and the other team will stay behind to look after Zhang Daxian. Does anyone have a large number of yellow talismans on them?"
"I'll stay here. I haven't reached the highest level of cultivation yet, so I brought a lot of yellow talismans with me this time. I may not be able to catch up with you, Senior Qian."
Old Qian took a look at the disciple who offered to stay. He was the current disciple of the Shen family, whose name was something like Chen Xiu. He had heard a little about the recent decline of the Shen family. Now it seemed that it was indeed the case. Among the current group of metaphysical disciples, the strength of the Shen family disciples seemed to be the last.
Even so, the Shen family is still a big family. At least he is most satisfied with Shen Xiu's character and attitude. He is much more stable than other disciples. It's a pity that his talent is not high.
With Shen Xiu's precedent, other disciples carrying yellow talismans or less powerful metaphysical students also volunteered to stay. There weren't many of them, and with Zhang Daxian and Shen Xiu included, there were only about six of them. The rest followed Elder Qian, searching for Elder Zhang in the direction he had disappeared.
Little did they know that for them, the nightmare had just begun.
Meanwhile, Wen He, riding his electric bike, had arrived breathlessly at their initial gathering point...
