The police officers who left halfway up the mountain ran to the foot of the mountain in less than forty minutes and saw the driver and car waiting for people at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, there was a pile of cigarette butts at the driver's feet. He was looking up at the middle of the mountain with surprise. Starting from the middle of the mountain, black fog was rapidly spreading to the top and foot of the mountain. The top of the mountain had been completely covered by the black fog, while the black fog was spreading slower to the foot of the mountain.
"Don't just stand there, drive away from here quickly. Master Wu asked us to stay away from here and not get trapped by the black fog."
Qian Shun, the leader, said breathlessly.
They were driven down the mountain by the black fog all the way. This was only possible because Master Wu and his two companions took action to slow down the spread of the black fog. Otherwise, they would definitely have been sucked into the black fog and disappeared without a trace, just like the people before them.
When the black fog spread to the foot of the mountain, everyone left the forest. After the sound of car engines disappeared completely, the entire forest fell into dead silence.
At this time, the three people in the black fog kept a distance of one meter from each other, and had a red silk thread wrapped around their wrists. This was tied by Lianyi for the three people when they walked into the black fog.
"We don't know how many people the enemy has, so it's best not to act separately and give the enemy a chance to defeat us one by one."
Honglan and Wuyou both agreed. Monk Wuyou still led the way, Honglan was in the middle, and Lianyi was at the end. The three of them moved forward cautiously in the black fog.
When the three of them walked to the area where the black fog was the thickest, they could only see their palms by stretching their hands to the tip of their noses. Although they were still strung together on a red ribbon, they could not see or hear each other, and could only pass messages by pulling the red ribbon.
Suddenly, black fog surged, and a strange laughter echoed around the three people, making them dizzy for a moment.
The relic between Lianyi's eyebrows emitted a soft golden light, which instantly restored her to normal. Monk Wuyou recited the "Heart Sutra" to clear her mind. Honglian directly put a piece of blood jade in her mouth, and the trance in her eyes instantly dissipated.
Just as the three were recovering, countless evil spirits rushed towards them frantically, as if they wanted to tear a piece of flesh from them. All the black fog was surging towards where the three were.
Lianyi was protected by the relic, and the evil spirits that rushed over were repelled by the golden light of the relic. The evil energy in the evil spirits was also weakened a little, but they were all fearless and were determined to rush into Lianyi's body even if it meant their souls would be torn to pieces.
"trouble!"
Lianyi muttered something, and used her profound energy to draw a magic array with both hands at the same time. In less than five minutes, nine golden magic arrays were floating around her. She waved both hands at the same time, and the nine magic arrays flew out at the same time, instantly purifying the evil spirits that were rushing towards her.
After being forcibly purified, the evil spirits that had penetrated the formation were at a loss. Their dim figures emitting white light floated in the air, looking around blankly, as if they were still unaware of where they were.
Because of Lianyi's ultimate move, the black fog and evil spirits around the three people were cleared for an instant. Half of the nine jade talismans floating around Hong Lan had turned black, helping her block the first wave of attacks. After seeing Lianyi and Wuyou clearly, she immediately expanded the range of the jade talismans to include the two of them in its defense range.
"Lianyi, you purify and I will defend. Master Wuyou, you will be in charge of salvation!"
"good!"
"no problem!"
They both responded at the same time.
Lianyi then turned his back to Honglan and began to draw a formation with green mysterious power. After the formation was formed, it flashed with golden light and sank into the evil spirits that were madly attacking them.
Wuyou was holding a wooden fish in his hand at this time, beating it while chanting the "Nirvana Sutra", sending those ignorant and confused souls to where they should go.
Hong Lan kept pinching her fingers to activate the jade talisman. She then put the talisman, which had turned completely black, back into her waist bag, and used it to provide defense for the three of them, preventing the evil spirit from interrupting the actions of the other two.
The three of them cooperated well. Half an hour later, the black fog around them became thinner. Lianyi's eyes became sharp. She swung out the red ribbon on her wrist and pulled out a black shadow from behind the layers of black fog.
When the black shadow fell at Lianyi's feet, the attacks of the evil spirits around the three people slowed down.
"How did you find me?"
A shrill female voice sounded in the ears of the three people, her tone full of disbelief.
"How many evil spirits have you devoured? They have become a color palette. It's hard not to see you."
Lianyi said casually, but the red belt in her hand accelerated the absorption of the black shadow's evil energy.
"No, stop it, don't purify me! I'll tell you who is setting you up!!"
As the black fog faded, a pale woman's face appeared.
"Whose contracted evil spirit are you?"
"Gao Yang, I am her contracted evil spirit."
After hearing this, Lianyi raised the corner of her eye and asked directly:
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Yu Meili."
"It's you!"
This time Lianyi smiled. It was really effortless. Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, the evil spirit still followed Gao Yang.
"Tell me about your conspiracy! Gao Yang is really capable. He actually dared to plot against me."
Lian Yi ordered the red belt to slow down the speed of absorbing evil energy and continued to ask.
"The master was unwilling to be punished by the Warlock Association, so he contacted Yu Biyao and Guo."
Before she could finish the rest of her words, Yu Meili's body, which was bound by the red ribbon, suddenly fell apart. Unfortunately, she was pulled back by the red ribbon the next moment. The evil energy on her body was only one third of what it was before. She looked back in surprise, and then looked at Lianyi, as if she didn't understand what was going on.
"Your reaction time is a little too long. It was your master who wanted you to self-destruct. It was only because you were tied up by my magic weapon that you didn't die. Why are you glaring at me? You should go and settle the score with your master! Now you are a free evil spirit."
Lianyi's voice was full of temptation. She suddenly wanted to see the drama of the master and servant becoming enemies.
Yu Meili also realized at this time that she had become the accessory that could be abandoned at any time. Her face instantly became ferocious, and she looked at Lianyi with bloody eyes, saying hatefully:
"Let me go, I want revenge! How dare that bastard abandon me!!!"
"Okay, but remember to come back to me after you've taken your revenge, or I won't mind crushing you to pieces."
Lianyi raised her hand and shot a bean-sized beam of mysterious force containing the golden light of a relic into Yu Meili's brow. The other party was dazed for a moment, and then found herself free. She roared and disappeared in front of Lianyi, trailing black smoke.
"Why did you let her go?"
Hong Lian asked, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"Let her take the lead and disrupt the enemy's deployment so that we can wait for an opportunity to strike."
Sure enough, a moment later a shrill scream was heard behind the three of them.
“This way!”
The black fog was dispersing rapidly, and the few remaining evil spirits were nowhere to be found, revealing a two-meter-high stone cave entrance. (End of this chapter)
