"Don't even mention such a long distance. With so many ghosts and monsters howling and the wind so strong, nothing can get in! On the contrary, there are people from the Ziwei Heavenly Palace patrolling here. Don't attract them here..."
Tong Su swayed, as if she couldn't support herself and knelt on the ground, but she smiled softly on her lowered face.
“What I shouted was never meant for Tian Xuanzi to hear.”
The words had barely left his mouth!
Several streaks of light flashed rapidly in the distance, revealing a dozen or so sword-wielding cultivators, their faces cold and angry, brandishing their swords and shouting:
"Bai Tong, the traitor of Jingyang Peak, is suspected of colluding with demonic cultivators. His crimes are heinous and he deserves severe punishment. Do not try to escape. Surrender at once!"
Tong Su did not turn around, but stubbornly stood up and continued walking towards the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
Before she entered the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts, she was surrounded by demonic energy, which wisps of it wrapped around her limbs like chains and viciously invaded her body through her pores.
The little firebird tried its best to breathe fire to protect her, but the demonic energy was also cunning, and some of it managed to dodge the little firebird and crash into Tongsu!
"Bai Tong, I told you to stop right there, didn't you hear me? With your mere Foundation Establishment strength, you dare to let the Myriad Ghosts Demon Cave leave? Before you even see Immortal Lord Jingyang, you'll be completely corroded by demonic energy!"
The Ziwei Heavenly Palace disciples who had been chasing after her turned ashen-faced and were forced to stop before reaching the range of the demonic energy. They roared fiercely at Tong Su.
The Demon Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts is a special place. The higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the more they will suffer from the backlash of demonic energy. The more protective spiritual energy a cultivator has, the greater the damage that demonic energy will cause to their body.
However, if one dispels the protective spiritual energy, the demonic energy becomes fierce. If the exposed skin is touched by the demonic energy, it will feel as if it has been whipped hard, causing unbearable pain.
Tongsu struggled for a moment, but couldn't stand up. Her limbs trembled and she staggered, but she still tried to crawl forward regardless of everything.
Her spiritual roots were taken away and her cultivation was destroyed. Now, she has no spiritual power to protect her body. Her skin has been corroded by demonic energy, and red, swollen, and bloody marks have appeared on her skin.
Her fingers gripped the snow, which was imbued with demonic energy. She hadn't crawled far before her fingertips were already dripping with blood.
The disciples were furious at the sight. They took a step forward and felt a burning pain on their skin.
They quickly retreated, thankfully unharmed, but now they were unwilling to step into the Demon Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts again.
Someone said angrily, "That damned girl! Maybe we should just leave her alone. She'll die in there sooner or later. I don't want to go into this hellhole. The demonic energy is too painful."
"No, look at the little firebird on her shoulder," a disciple with sharp eyes said greedily. "It can burn away demonic energy; it must be something good. Maybe it was left to her by Immortal Lord Jingyang. If we could get our hands on it..."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all put on expressions of concern, softening their tone as they said, "Junior Sister Bai Tong, please come back soon!"
"Immortal Lord Jingyang has fallen into demonic ways and betrayed his sect. He is an unforgivable sinner. He doesn't recognize you anymore. If he saw you, he would kill you!"
"Senior brother is not!" The blood-soaked girl finally turned around, her eyes flashing with a fierce light. "Since senior brother has not committed any heinous crimes or murdered any innocent people, what makes you say he is unforgivable? A-Tong wants senior brother, A-Tong is not going back!"
Despite being covered in wounds from the corrupting demonic energy, with drops of blood falling to the ground, she stubbornly pursed her lips, refusing to back down in the slightest.
The disciples were taken aback. Wasn't this girl mentally challenged? How come she seemed to be of normal mind?
Could it be... because of that firebird?
What an incredible treasure that must be!
Thinking of this, everyone felt even more excited.
