Is this... a fate destined for their demise? They were already overwhelmed by the re-assembly of these high-level Yin creatures, let alone the sudden appearance of their leader at such a critical moment! Isn't this a death sentence for them?
Even Shen Xiu, who thought he had good cultivation and did not lash out violently even when he was about to die, could not help but curse, because he had just carried Elder Zhang back on his back and replaced Zhang Daxian's position, asking Zhang Daxian to come out to help. At this time, many people on Elder Qian's side had recovered 50% to 60% of their spiritual energy and were also preparing to come over to help.
After all, how could they just stand there and watch without doing anything? Moreover, it was a miracle that the girl next to them could still hold on until now after drawing so many high-level formations. As seniors, how could they just stand by and watch?
What's more, the girl's spiritual energy seemed to be almost exhausted. As long as all the remaining people of them gritted their teeth and held on, they still had a 30% chance of taking this opportunity to escape from this ghost place. They no longer hoped to force back these evil creatures, because the evil creatures that kept pouring in could not be forced back at all.
But no one would have thought that at such a critical moment, the leader of this evil creature would appear, and every time it came closer, everyone at the scene couldn't help but change color.
The reason was not anything else but that every time it took a step, the grass and trees in the place it passed by would wither rapidly within just a few seconds, and the flowers and trees would die quickly. The vitality was suddenly taken away by the yin energy that was so thick that it was about to condense into a solid.
For a monster like this, they would probably have been invaded by the powerful Yin energy before the fight even started.
Obviously, everyone was aware of this possibility, even Wen He, who had just realized what it meant to have Yin Qi invade his body. Wen He, whose face had already turned pale due to the rapid loss of spiritual energy, now looked even paler. Now it was no longer a question of whether he was afraid or not, or whether his legs were weak or not. Wen He now had an urge to have his brain swell and faint.
It was the air. The yin energy had made the surrounding air suddenly extremely turbid, making everyone feel extremely uncomfortable. Wen He instinctively wanted to grab the stick and draw another refreshing array to dispel the foul air. However, Wen He could no longer draw. As soon as she raised her hand, it began to tremble uncontrollably. She was obviously exhausted. How could she draw an array in such a state?
Fortunately, Zhang Daxian, Qian Lao and other older people were the first to notice the situation on Wen He's side. Qian Lao was already chanting a spell and activating his magic weapon. Qian Lao's magic weapon was a very small furnace. Under Qian Lao's drive, it quickly grew larger and turned into a large furnace floating in the sky, emitting a layer of shallow, soft golden light that just covered all the metaphysics disciples.
Taking advantage of this moment, Zhang Daxian quickly rushed to Wen He's direction, used the last high-level exorcism talisman, and quickly brought Wen He into the soft golden light.
As soon as he entered the golden light, Wen He felt much better. The golden light emitted by the furnace just blocked the turbid air outside, which was similar to the effect of the fresh formation, but with two serious disadvantages. One was that the coverage area could only cover the small area illuminated by the furnace, which was just enough to accommodate so many of their young disciples, but it would not be able to accommodate more. This was not a big problem, as long as they could catch their breath.
The key point is on the other hand. The furnace is a magic weapon, and it needs the spiritual energy of its owner to drive it. In other words, once Senior Qian's spiritual energy is exhausted, I'm afraid they won't even have a place to breathe. Moreover, Senior Qian's current condition is not very good, and he probably won't be able to hold on for long.
It can be said that now is their last hope.
Zhang Daxian and the others exchanged a glance, and all the disciples of metaphysics understood and nodded in agreement. The next moment, the entire scene became like a hundred flowers blooming. Almost all the disciples of metaphysics activated their own magical instruments and tried their best to drive back the extremely huge and ugly toad.
Yes, they were sure that they could not defeat the toad directly, and even escaping unscathed might be difficult. They could only hope to force the toad back a little, giving them a chance to escape and catch their breath.
In such a moment, the scene of various magical instruments being activated at the same time was particularly spectacular, especially for Wen He. However, it was the first time for him to see such a scene. Besides sighing in admiration, he was also a little stunned for a moment.
However, before even a quarter of an hour had passed, the hopes of all the disciples in the world of metaphysics were shattered. When those magical instruments were driven to attack the toad together, they did not last long before they emitted a 'buzzing' sound of overload and were forced back in less than three minutes.
In more serious cases, the weapons would turn directly into a matte color. The Yin Qi had actually taken away the spiritual energy of those magic weapons. Without the spiritual energy, the magic weapons would turn back into dead objects that were nothing, and become ordinary objects with a matte color. The owners of these magic weapons could not withstand the backlash because they had lost their magic weapons so suddenly, and they were forced to spit out blood.
It only takes a moment to fall from heaven to hell, and from hope to despair.
At this point, even Zhang Daxian's face could no longer conceal despair. Even though they were still gritting their teeth and persevering, constantly driving their magic weapons, trying to force the evil creatures back again and again, as time went by, the color of each magic weapon became duller, and their hope became increasingly slim. Once all the magic weapons were unable to repel them, they were afraid that they would...
As the situation became irreversible, the atmosphere around Wen He grew increasingly heavy. He was clearly still protected by the furnace and cauldron, and should not have been affected by the turbid air. But here, Wen He felt even more uncomfortable than when he was surrounded by the turbid air outside.
The heavy, desperate, and fearful atmosphere made it hard for her to breathe.
Is this all there is? Is she going to die? But she... doesn't want to die. Not at all. She wants to go back, to plant her fields, grow her fruit, and make the old house a good place. Then, bring her mother back home and live with her. This is the kind of life she's always longed for. She wants to fulfill this desire. She doesn't want to die like this!
At this moment, Wen He suddenly felt the jade token on his chest get hot, and a very pleasant and low voice just vibrated directly from deep inside. It was a very pleasant and magnetic voice of a young man. He just said "Get out!", and it seemed that the whole space was shaken, and there seemed to be a great majesty that spread out directly, forcing people to lower their heads and bend their bodies.
In just this instant, all the evil creatures became extremely panicked, no matter they were high-level or low-level, they all lost their composure, as if they had encountered some great nemesis.
Even the leader of those evil creatures, the big, ugly toad, was like this. It was in a panic and tried to flee in great fear. Just as it was about to disappear into the depths, the huge toad suddenly caught fire on the spot. It seemed to be restrained by something and could not escape. It could only beg for mercy in its extremely unpleasant voice with great fear: "I know I was wrong, sir, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, sir..."
However, it wasn't long before the toad was burned to ashes by the true fire, leaving no trace. Even such a powerful and large Yin creature was in trouble. How could other Yin creatures escape the fate of being destroyed? In just a short while, all the Yin creatures around it were burned on the spot, unable to escape. Not a single one was left, and they didn't even have the chance to scream and beg for mercy. They were completely destroyed by the sudden burst of true fire.
The turnaround happened in just a moment.
This incident happened so mysteriously and so suddenly that everyone present was unable to react for a long time. They could only stare blankly at the area in front of them that was burned to ashes.
After a long while, Qian Lao and the others suddenly realized something. They excitedly took a step forward and bowed respectfully. They said loudly, "Thank you so much for saving my life, Master. Could you please come out and meet us so that we can express our gratitude!"
This is a master, a real master. If Wen He's outstanding performance is any indication, he might be a true disciple of a certain Xuanmen sect with extremely high talent, or it is still within the normal range.
Then, the man who made the sound just now must be a master at the god level. So many Yin creatures, such powerful Yin creatures, were completely eliminated in just about a quarter of an hour. What kind of master level is this? No, not only master level, it can even be said to be a god level figure. How can they not be shocked and excited? What's more, their lives that were in danger were saved and they don't have to lose them!
However, it seemed that after uttering the "get out!", the expert had not made any sound since then, let alone any bubbling or anything like that. It was as if he was just passing by, casually set off several rounds of true fire to burn those evil objects to ashes, and then waved his hands and left.
Old Qian and the others called out three times, but still received no response. It seemed that whether the master was there or not, he had no intention of responding to them.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't disappointed. After all, the world of metaphysics has always respected the strong. Who wouldn't want to meet a figure like this? But I don't even know who this master is or what his name is.
However, apart from this, Old Qian and his companions had nothing to regret. They had escaped death. Even though many of the disciples of metaphysics had lost not only a large number of yellow talismans, but also their very valuable magic tools, as long as they had saved their lives, they could earn money again, and get the yellow talismans and magic tools again. But if they lost their lives, they would have nothing.
This was a blessing in disguise for their group. After they meditated on the spot and recovered some of their spiritual energy, they planned to go down the mountain directly. Old Qian was even preparing to go back and report this incident to the headquarters of the metaphysical world and take it seriously.
Whether it was when they received the bounty order and came up the mountain, or when Zhang Daxian told them about the incident with the wandering cultivator, Old Qian felt that something was a little unusual.
Or, simply put, they entered the mountains to eliminate hidden dangers. Even if the previous incident with the independent cultivators was truly an oversight by the metaphysical community, there remained one unexplained point: who had sent the independent cultivators up here, offering a large reward for an item, and what was it? Was it a commission from the metaphysical community? Whether they were friend or foe remained unclear.
Mr. Qian had to report all of this to the headquarters of the metaphysical community and conduct further investigations.
Of course, this is all a matter for the future. Now, as long as everyone recovers a little, we can go down the mountain. After all, this time we have been through a lot, and it may take at least three to half months to recover to our original peak condition.
Fortunately, although Wen He's spiritual energy was greatly consumed, her body was fine, and she did not suffer any backlash from the magic weapon. She looked better than everyone else. I guess she would be able to recover after she rested for a while and ate more fruits for a few days after returning.
However, at this moment, Wen He happened to see Chen Xiu next to him, and remembered something. He subconsciously called Chen Xiu and wanted to take out the jade pendant from his neck and return it to Chen Xiu, asking him to take it back to the Shen family.
After all, this is not her thing, but the Shen family's thing. Moreover, today she finally understands the situation of the Shen family. This jade token has helped her a lot, and maybe it can also help the Shen family a little. It is time to return it to the Shen family.
Wen He thought so, and tried to take out the jade token hanging around her neck. However, just as she moved, a dark shadow suddenly jumped up and bumped into her. The undeniable weight made Wen He subconsciously let go of the hand that was about to take the jade token and hugged the black shadow that suddenly jumped up. The first thing she felt was a ball of warmth, and it was also very heavy. What else could it be but the agile and fierce big cat she had encountered before?
"Big Cat, why did you follow me here? Didn't I tell you to stay where you are and not follow me? You were so mean to me before, why do you like me so much now?"
No, he doesn't like you. He just doesn't want you to take out the jade token.
Shen Yan thought so, even though he saw Wen He's intention, she seemed to want to return the jade token to the Shen family, and the boy opposite who had not practiced well should be his Shen family's disciple of this generation, but now is not the time. As long as his soul has not returned to its place, the jade token cannot be revealed to the world. At worst, he will follow this girl for a while until his soul returns to its place.
But his current role was that of a big cat, so he naturally couldn't express his thoughts in words. Helplessly, he could only stiffen his entire body, and stiffly imitate the way an ordinary cat shook its tail, and hesitantly let out a "meow~" sound.
Of course, Wen He didn't notice anything strange about this. She just subconsciously thought that the big cat didn't like meowing, but just now, in order to respond to her, it deliberately meowed. This made Wen He like it even more. She couldn't help but reach out and stroke the big cat's head a few times, and lightly kissed it on the forehead.
Suddenly, Shen Damao's body stiffened again, and the cat tail behind him began to swing wildly and uncontrollably, once again fully experiencing the power of the kiss.
But Shen Damao reacted quickly. When Chen Xiu came over and asked Wen He politely with a smile what he wanted to talk to him about, Shen Damao quickly stretched out his claws and slapped away Wen He's hand that was about to pull out the jade token from his neck. He made a "humming" sound and lay down his body directly, blocking the jade token tightly, making it impossible for Wen He to move.
"Huh???" What the big cat meant was that he didn't want her to take out the jade token?
Why? Does the big cat really like the jade token so much? It won't even let me take it out. Or... is there actually some connection between the jade token and the big cat? After all, the big cat and the fierce cat engraved on the jade token look exactly like each other, but isn't this the jade token from that Shen family member, Shen Yan?!
Suddenly, Wen He couldn't help but feel conflicted, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
