The situation on Zhang Daxian's side was indeed very bad. No, or rather, the situation on Senior Qian's side was extremely bad. They had already met up with Senior Qian and his team. When they arrived, the situation on Senior Qian's team was extremely bad.
The young disciple who had run away due to the invasion of Yin Qi at the beginning has been found. In order to prevent him from running away again and hurting other people, Master Qian and his companions had to knock him out first, and planned to carry him out of the mountain directly after everything was over.
However, in just a short while, two more young disciples were infected by the Yin Qi and fell down.
What's worse is that the group of people led by Old Qian only have a few yellow talismans left. As they are in a hurry to travel, fight off evil spirits, and disperse evil spirits, the yellow talismans on each person are being consumed quickly and in large quantities. Even though they have tried their best to use magic tools, they still cannot save the progress of yellow talisman consumption.
It was not until the accumulated fatigue in them had reached its peak and the yellow talismans were almost used up that Old Qian suddenly realized that they seemed to have fallen into a trap!
It was not because of anything else, but simply because, at this moment, when their team was at their wit's end, Old Zhang, whom they had been searching for but could not find, showed up on his own initiative, holding the Wang family brother, whose face was pale and whose eyes seemed to have lost their anxiety!
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was extremely unpleasant and sinister. Zhang Lao's face was filled with an extremely proud look. "Hahaha, you guys came here so obediently? Great, great, this method is really useful. Catching just one can catch more big fish. Great, brothers, it's time to eat. Remember to save the best ones for our boss!"
In an instant, there were a lot of rustling sounds all around, and the next moment, the area that was originally empty was surrounded by large groups of evil creatures. In addition to the zombies that looked like neither human nor human, they also saw many high-level evil creatures, which surrounded Qian Lao and his group.
It was obvious that the evil spirits had done this on purpose. Perhaps it had been a setup from the start, using the ghouls as bait to lure them all into their territory, then deliberately wait until they had exhausted their spiritual energy before revealing themselves. This way, Old Qian and the others were easily captured by the evil spirits, effortlessly!
Realizing this, Elder Qian and the others turned incredibly pale, knowing they might be doomed. At this very moment, some of the metaphysical disciples couldn't help but regret their actions, their pale faces filled with fear. "We've fallen for a trick! We've fallen for a trick! We shouldn't have come, we shouldn't have come in the first place. It's over now, all over. We should have left the mountain when Elder Zhang was possessed and sensed something was wrong..."
"What are you talking about! Are you saying that if you see a fellow metaphysical disciple in trouble, you're just going to stand by and do nothing?! If that's the case, then you're not even a true metaphysical disciple!"
When Zhang Daxian and his companions arrived, Old Qian and his companions were surrounded by a large group of evil creatures. They were at the end of their rope. It was almost the critical moment. If they had arrived just a few steps later, Old Qian and his companions would probably not have been able to return.
The words of the frightened and discouraged little disciple reached Zhang Daxian's ears so unexpectedly that he immediately became furious and couldn't help cursing.
After all, in the current metaphysical world, there is a lack of spiritual energy, and there are actually not many metaphysical disciples with strong strength. Moreover, most of the metaphysical masters died in the war more than 80 years ago, which caused a serious gap in the strength of the metaphysical world. It was only in recent years that it has recovered a little, and some metaphysical disciples with good talent and strength have appeared one after another.
In such a situation, if every disciple of metaphysics thought like the depressed and frightened little disciple just now, there would probably be no need for any evil and unclean things to take action, and the metaphysics world would have collapsed long ago.
Moreover, more than eighty years ago, the disciples of the metaphysical world still intuitively abided by the principle of active mutual assistance and mutual support. In modern times, when the metaphysical world is already on the verge of collapse, if one still does not abide by the principle of active mutual assistance and mutual support among the metaphysical world, then one is not worthy of being a disciple of this metaphysical world at all. Moreover, it is estimated that the metaphysical world is not far from destruction and disappearance.
As soon as Zhang Daxian finished speaking, attracting the attention of those evil creatures, Chen Xiu, who had been prepared on the side, had already activated the high-level exorcism talisman in his hand, and forcibly cut a path through the large group of evil creatures, allowing them to go directly to Qian Lao and the others.
At that moment, without any hesitation, Zhang Daxian and several metaphysical disciples surrounded Qian Lao and the others, and quickly activated the high-level exorcism talismans at the same time. Several high-level exorcism formations were suddenly activated and merged into a large exorcism formation, which protected all the metaphysical disciples like a defensive fortress, forcing the surrounding evil spirits to retreat a few steps.
Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Xiu suddenly pulled the younger brother of the Wang family and stuffed a high-level exorcism talisman into his hand. He quickly glanced at Qian Laohe and the twisted Wang brother. Immediately, the younger brother of the Wang family understood, and the two of them quickly and quietly rushed over there.
The next moment, Chen Xiu suddenly jumped behind Zhang Lao and without hesitation stuck the yellow talisman on the back of Zhang Lao's head. Once the high-level exorcism talisman was activated, the zombie attached to Zhang Lao was forced out by the high-level formation talisman.
It's time. Chen Xiu looked in the direction of Wang's younger brother and signaled him to immediately activate the high-level exorcism talisman in his hand to drive away the group of evil creatures in front of them. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they can bring people back to the protective fortress. Although they may be attacked on the way back without the yellow talisman, the probability is 50%. Chen Xiu is fighting for this 50% chance so that they can successfully return to the protective fortress!
However, unexpectedly, the younger brother of the Wang family ignored Chen Xiu. After the possessed ghoul was driven out of Zhang Lao, he directly carried the Wang brother who had lost focus on the ground on his back, and ran back without even looking back, with no intention of acting according to the plan at all!
Chen Xiu gritted his teeth, knowing that this time he was in trouble, he was viciously tricked by the younger brother of the Wang family. He originally thought that since one of the people arrested was the elder brother of the Wang family, there was no better or more suitable candidate than the younger brother of the Wang family. The others were also busy coordinating with Zhang Daxian to set up the formation, and the Shen family actually had the intention to repair and ease the relationship with the Wang family.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiu took Wang's younger brother with him and gave one of the last two high-level exorcism talismans he had on him, thinking that it would come in handy if anything unexpected really happened. After all, they couldn't lose anyone now. Not only would one less person reduce their combat effectiveness, it might also increase the strength of that group of evil creatures.
But he had never expected that the Wang family's younger brother, who appeared fine on the surface, would do something like this. But when the time came, what else could Shen Xiu do? He had no choice but to quickly carry the unconscious Zhang Lao on his back and stride back. He could only hope that before the other evil creatures could react, he could break out of the encirclement and enter the protective fortress.
However, it was too late. No matter how fast Shen Xiu moved, he was still a step slower.
It was not only because he was a beat late in taking action, but also because the action of the younger brother of the Wang family in front of him had suddenly awakened the surrounding evil spirits. In just a short while, the surrounding evil spirits had surrounded him and directly blocked Shen Xiu's way.
What else could Chen Xiu do? He no longer had any high-level exorcism talismans on him. All he had left were the yellow talismans that he had not used up earlier. But it was obvious that the effects of those yellow talismans were already inadequate to deal with the Yin energy on this side of the mountain, let alone these high-level Yin objects in front of him. He could hardly last even for a few minutes.
But now, Zhang Daxian's attention was all focused on Old Qian and the protective fortress. When he discovered that something seemed to be wrong, the situation on Chen Xiu's side was already critical. When he saw a huge, extremely yin-filled creature about to attack Chen Xiu, it was too late for Zhang Daxian and the others. Even if they rushed over now, it would be too late.
I'm afraid this time... it's really over. Shen Xiu couldn't help but have a bitter look on his face. It was all his fault. His talent in metaphysics was completely lacking, which led to the Shen family of their generation being suppressed by all sides.
Moreover, in the field of metaphysics, it seems that some things cannot be rewarded by hard work. If he had known this, he should have asked Old Ji to help take care of Shen's mother early on, for fear that when she heard the news of his death, she would be too sad to recover.
After all, Mother Shen's physical and mental state has not been very good since last year. It was only recently that she ate those small tomatoes and strawberries that have the effect of concentrating the mind, and she felt a little better. I don't know if anyone will be able to buy these fruits for her in time.
Chen Xiu was not afraid of anything. What he feared most was that his mother's health would deteriorate. However, this time... it seemed that it was really too late. At the moment when her life was about to end, Chen Xiu closed his eyes with a rare sense of despair.
At this critical moment, a familiar female voice rang out from not far away. It sounded like she was chanting some kind of spell, mixed with the sound of a wooden stick being scraped across the ground. Wait, a wooden stick? Could this sound be...
At this moment, Chen Xiu suddenly remembered something, subconsciously opened his eyes, and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a somewhat familiar figure appear in his field of vision.
The thin girl was seen drawing something on the ground at an extremely fast speed. Then, at the moment the formation was formed, she slapped her hands on the ground, and the formation was activated. In an instant, a burst of golden light suddenly appeared, and it suddenly forced back all the evil creatures in front of it. In just such a moment, its power was not inferior to the large protective fortress over there with Zhang Daxian and his men!
Such a huge commotion attracted the attention of everyone present, not to mention Old Qian and the others. They were already shocked by the appearance of the high-level yellow exorcism talisman. If it wasn't the right time, they would have chased after Master Zhang to ask where the high-level exorcism talisman came from.
And now, they'd seen someone simply draw on the ground with a stick, instantly creating a formation that exerted the power of several high-level exorcism formations combined! What on earth was this? How was this done? Or, in other words, who... was that person?! And judging by her age, she looked like a very young girl?!
But the most astonished were Zhang Daxian and his companions, who had witnessed Wen He directly draw the 'Asking the Gods Guiding Array' before them. Zhang Daxian, in particular, possessed more experience than the other metaphysical disciples, and his thinking was a bit more profound. Even as they were astonished at Wen He's ability to draw the array with his bare hands and still achieve its power, a thought crossed Zhang Daxian's mind: Could it be possible... that the 'Asking the Gods Guiding Array' Wen He had drawn was truly the powerful array it was supposed to be? And not, like the yellow talisman arrays they had drawn, which weren't as powerful as those arrays were supposed to be?
Furthermore, when Zhang Daxian was very young, he had actually heard his master talk about the true power of the 'God-asking Guiding Array'. It was the guiding talisman drawn by his ancestor, activated by his master, that was undoubtedly as powerful as the one drawn by Wen He. His ancestor was a true master of metaphysics, but according to his master, his ancestor didn't have much time to teach him more, as his ancestor was killed not long after in the great battle over eighty years ago. As a result, his master was unable to advance very far in the field of metaphysics.
But if this inference is correct, then the advanced exorcism array drawn by the girl He at this moment is probably the true power of this advanced exorcism array. After all, the girl was so wasteful in using yellow talisman paper of such poor quality to draw the advanced exorcism array. It would be strange if the power was not reduced.
Earlier, he had stubbornly believed that those high-level exorcism talismans couldn't possibly have been drawn by Wen He. After all, Wen He seemed to have only a superficial understanding of many aspects of the metaphysical world. But who would have thought that when it came to drawing formations, this girl would become completely different. Her proficiency and technique surpassed that of a master of metaphysics!
Even Zhang Daxian couldn't help but wonder, a little frantically, where did that girl come from? How come the entire metaphysical world hadn't heard of her at all? After all, it was impossible for such an outstanding metaphysical disciple to suppress the news? Could it be that the master she had trained with was indeed some hidden and prestigious sect? What sect was it, exactly?
Of course, Wen He was completely unable to care about other people's reactions, because her action just now attracted everyone's attention and also attracted all the hatred, attracting all the evil creatures that were burned by the high-level exorcism formation.
Seeing such a group of dark and sinister creatures slowly approaching him, Wen He's heart was beating wildly and his legs were shaking.
Wasn't Wen He afraid? No, she was afraid, but she was scared to death. And she couldn't help but take action in the dangerous situation just now, otherwise Shen Xiu would really be dead. She was also thinking about returning the ancient books and jade tokens to their Shen family afterwards.
But... when the advanced exorcism formation was drawn and successfully forced back those evil creatures, Wen He had no idea that the next moment those evil creatures would suddenly target her.
At this moment, Wen He's hands and legs were shaking even more, and she was extremely scared. She felt that this high-risk job of a metaphysical disciple was not something a human being could do. After the mountains returned to normal, she would never get involved again. It would be great if she could just happily sell fruits and farm.
Of course, Wen He's calves were shaking, but he didn't dare to stop the movement of his hands. His brain was extremely clear, and he quickly recalled all the magic arrays that could be used. His hands increased the speed of drawing arrays to the extreme, and he drew several arrays in a row in one breath, all of which were large arrays that could deal with Yin objects!
At the beginning, when these formations were activated one by one, the effects were really good, which made Wen He breathe a sigh of relief.
However, there were so many evil creatures around that even though Wen He suppressed batch after batch of evil creatures, it didn't take long before new evil creatures came out from the depths again and gathered together, as if there was no end to them.
After a while, Wen He began to feel the strain. She had never drawn so many formations in a row before, and they were all quite demanding. After an unknown amount of time, Wen He's right hand was so exhausted that she couldn't even lift it. Even when she drew the formations, it felt incredibly dry, like someone else had said she was running out of spiritual energy.
The next second, her hand trembled, the stroke deviated, and the formation below failed and was scrapped!
And at such a bad moment, a foul smell suddenly came from the air. Looking up, I saw a huge and ugly toad appeared at the back of the evil creatures. It seemed that dark evil energy was emitting from its body from time to time. Around it, a large group of high-level evil creatures made way for the toad. Even the ghoul that had previously attached to Old Zhang came forward and bowed to it respectfully.
Suddenly, it seemed that everyone understood what this extremely huge and ugly leprosy was. It was none other than the boss that the ghoul had mentioned. It was the boss of this group of high-level evil creatures!
