The mysterious village that Duan Long mentioned was an ordinary village that was completely wiped out by the Demonic Sect a few years ago.
This caused a persistent, lingering demonic aura to form above the village.
This wasn't unusual, given the overwhelming resentment of the dead and the presence of demonic energy; such a phenomenon was indeed possible.
Strangely, however, all cultivators, regardless of their level, who enter the cave disappear.
Of course, the highest level of cultivation among them was only a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator from the Taiyi Sect.
It was precisely because the person who disappeared was not highly skilled that he did not attract the attention of the major righteous sects.
When Hua Rong and his companions arrived at the village called "Xiangyang Village," they encountered other people who had come from afar.
The most eye-catching group was an all-female team.
The group consisted of five stunningly beautiful women, all dressed in pink and red dresses, with peach blossom decorations on their foreheads, making them look alluring and breathtaking.
When one of the women glanced at Hua Rong and her group, she frowned slightly, and felt particularly uncomfortable when she saw Hua Rong.
She snorted coldly and raised her voice, "There really are some people who don't know what's good for them!"
Her gaze was so direct that it was hard for anyone to pretend they didn't know who she was talking about.
The first to get angry was Dong Rou, who felt guilty towards Hua Rong because of Dong Che's situation.
Stepping forward, his delicate features were as cold as ice: "Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by that?"
The woman in pink raised her head and said, "Are you deaf? I'm telling you, your cultivation is low, you're a disgrace!"
"You—" Dong Rou was furious at the other party's arrogance. A folding fan with ink painting appeared in her hand, her eyebrows like knives. "Since that's the case, let's have a match!"
As she spoke, Dong Rou opened her folding fan and twirled it around. It seemed like a gentle fanning, but it created a gust of wind that rushed towards the woman in pink.
"presumptuous!"
The others all frowned. The five of them moved, forming a simple array. The light gauze in their hands became as tough and sharp as swords, and flew towards Dong Rou.
As they made their move, countless peach petals drifted down from the sky, causing the expressions of the onlookers to change drastically.
"Back off!"
"This is the Peach Blossom Killing Formation of Peach Blossom Mountain in the Nine Immortals Mountain! They are the fifth of the Nine Fairies of Peach Blossom!"
"Don't underestimate these petals. It's said that once this killing formation is activated, someone will surely die! This girl's life is probably over!"
Hearing the whispers around her, Sheng Yu's face revealed a hint of smugness.
Although she didn't know why she disliked Hua Rong, Dong Rou was charming and cute, and she wasn't someone she liked either.
Since she didn't like it, then dying at her hands would be Dong Rou's good fortune.
Hua Rong's clone sensed the causal threads on the main body's side, and his expression turned ugly.
She appeared in front of the pale-faced Dong Rou in an instant, patted her Qiankun bag, and a shield appeared in front of her.
At the same time, a painting appeared, depicting a thunderstorm.
"People hurt each other over the slightest disagreement; how could Jiuxian Mountain have fallen to such a state!"
After she said something coldly, she formed a hand seal, and the painting immediately grew larger, eventually covering the sky above them.
Thunder roared, and the sky became exactly like the overcast and rainy sky in the painting, a scene of the end of the world.
Even those peach petals, which carried a murderous intent, couldn't help but pause slightly.
Immediately afterwards, it was penetrated by the light, falling rain, and landed on the ground, turning into flower mud.
The five peach blossom fairies' expressions changed drastically, especially Sheng Yu. She felt as if there were a pair of eyes in the sky watching her with bloodthirsty killing intent, as if the moment she moved, they would take her life!
One of the Five Immortals of Peach Blossoms cried out for mercy: "Fellow Daoist, spare our lives! We are from Peach Blossom Mountain of Nine Immortals. We were just joking with you all and had no intention of offending you. Please have mercy on us."
"That sounds nice, but you were clearly trying to kill my sister!"
Dong Che supported Dong Rou, his voice filled with murderous intent.
Without saying a word, Hua Rong put away the shield in front of him and a small drum appeared in his hand.
With a gentle tap of her hand, thunder and lightning erupted in the sky. A bolt of lightning, as powerful as a celestial tribulation, struck the center of the Peach Blossom Five Immortals Formation, sending the five immortals flying in five different directions.
"puff"
All five of them coughed up blood in unison, and the one who had just begged for mercy immediately shouted, "Thank you for sparing our lives, fellow Daoist!"
Hua Rong ignored her and focused her gaze on Sheng Yu, tapping the small drum again.
"No!"
Sheng Yu seemed to sense the danger and shouted loudly. A bell flew out from her ankle, grew rapidly, and blocked the heavenly lightning.
Hua Rong snorted coldly: "Let's see how many hits you can take!"
Sheng Yu was extremely anxious. She clearly saw that after the bell was obscured by the heavenly lightning, the golden light on it dimmed a bit.
It will be ruined after taking two more hits at most.
She screamed in terror, "My father is Sheng Lun Hua Shen! If you kill me, he won't let you get away with it!"
She was usually too arrogant, and now, instead of begging for mercy, she even threatened him.
Hua Rong has always been unyielding, neither yielding to soft nor hard tactics.
"Then let him come!"
Hua Rong's clone is not involved in the karma of the heavens, so killing this otherworldly soul will not have much of a consequence.
Since that's the case, why keep this person in the way?
She didn't want to be stabbed in the back at a crucial moment.
With two quick claps, a bolt of lightning, thicker than the previous one and carrying a terrifying force, struck the bell.
"Crack!"
The bell was shattered, and residual lightning flew towards Sheng Yu.
