Rong Xu has always followed his master's teachings and still does so now.
Lu Qingsi listened to their discussion and interjected, "When are we leaving? Brother's hand injury will probably need a few more days to heal."
Although the injury didn't knock Lu Ming unconscious, it looked quite serious. He should rest for a few more days, since this wasn't his first injury. Lu Qingsi always felt that Lu Ming's injuries hadn't healed.
Because Lu Ming and Rong Xu had killed two demons, the area became much more peaceful. At least for the next few days, they didn't find any trace of demons, nor did they hear of anyone else being killed.
The innkeeper's smile grew wider and wider. Even though he knew nothing, he attributed the credit to Rong Xu and the other two, showering them with praise.
A few days later, Lu Ming's injuries had largely healed, but Lu Qingsi was still not entirely at ease and worried about him. Was he really healed? Was he really not lying to her? Lu Qingsi looked at Lu Ming expectantly, unable to bear letting him go out again.
However, Lu Qingsi couldn't stop Lu Ming. The three of them eventually headed towards Tianmen. Although this place belonged to Tianmen, it was still some distance away.
But this road was destined to be fraught with difficulties. When they finally arrived at the small village closest to Tianmen, they were surprised to find soaring demonic energy.
"This—" No one could believe what they were seeing. The villagers' eyes were bloodshot. Regardless of age or gender, they picked up whatever was around them and smashed it to the side. They kept smashing it until it was bloody and mangled, but they didn't stop. They just kept repeating the same action, like puppets being controlled by someone.
"What exactly happened at Tianmen?" Rong Xu, seeing everything below, couldn't resist going down to see for himself.
"Are you going?" Rong Xu asked as they were about to go downstairs.
"Go and see what's going on with them," Lu Qingsi said. These villagers were clearly fighting for no reason, and they wanted to see who was behind it all.
Lu Ming nodded: "Now that we've seen it, we can't pretend we didn't notice anything. Let's go downstairs. Perhaps someone deliberately wanted us to see this. If we don't go and see, wouldn't we be letting them down?"
Lu Ming said that he tried to imagine this as a test by Tianmen for outsiders.
As soon as Lu Qingsi stepped off her sword, she sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere around her. Looking to both sides, she saw that the eyes of Lu Qingsi and Rong Xu were gradually turning red, and the atmosphere around them was undergoing a dramatic change, slowly becoming tainted with black energy.
"Brother, Rong Xu!" Lu Qingsi hurriedly pulled the two people up, trying to wake them up, but her mind felt like it had been stabbed and she couldn't help feeling dizzy.
No, not now. She absolutely cannot faint at this moment. Lu Qingsi thought resolutely to herself. She absolutely could not fail now. Her brother and Rong Xu were in a bad situation; it seemed they were about to be controlled by something. Only she was still conscious. She had to save them!
Lu Qingsi kept telling herself this, resisting the stinging pain in her mind and the drowsy feeling, gradually giving in after initially gritting her teeth and persevering...
What awaits her? Lu Qingsi thought unwillingly.
