Jingkong's death acted as a fuse, and as if by prior agreement, everyone present simultaneously unleashed their magical artifacts and swarmed towards Shi Lan.
In an instant, the sky was filled with overwhelming spiritual light. Shi Lan gritted her teeth and took flight.
Two fire dragons roared across the sky, and the black Soul-Destroying Nails, like black ribbons that snatched souls, directly swept away all obstacles blocking Shi Lan's path.
Shi Lan spared no effort, vigorously activating the Wind-Following Boots beneath her feet. In a flash, she arrived in front of Zhang Dongji, grabbed him by the collar, and dashed through the encirclement of the Buddhist sect and others into the dense forest.
The fire dragon rolled and dissipated into the sky. Only after confirming that there were no pursuers behind him did Shi Lan release his grip.
Zhang Dongji staggered twice and fell to the ground.
"Junior sister, you've gotten yourself into big trouble."
Shi Lan looked down and saw that his face was pale, and knew that he was frightened.
She ran all the way just now, and she must have killed at least seven or eight people.
Shi Lan briefly recalled the clothing of those who died under the Soul-Destroying Nails. Besides the Ghost Control Sect and the Buddhist Sect, there were two others from the Immortal Misty Sect.
Zhang Dongji looked up and saw Shi Lan's calm and collected demeanor, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Junior sister, why are these people trying to kill you?"
Shi Lan was also full of questions, unable to understand why Jing Kong insisted on causing trouble for her, and why those people were attacking her.
Seeing that she also had a lot of questions on her face, Zhang Dongji knew that she was also confused.
"Forget it, let's go find Senior Brother Jian first. With him around, the other sects will be more restrained," Zhang Dongji said, getting up and brushing the grass clippings and dirt off his clothes.
Shi Lan shook her head, "Senior Brother Zhang, you go ahead. The trouble I've caused is too great; Senior Brother Jian probably can't handle it."
Zhang Dongji paused, then quickly said, "Junior Sister Shi, I know you are highly skilled, but there are limits. You just killed disciples from three sects, and those sects will not let you go. The only way now is to find Senior Brother Jian. We have some people here, and we won't just stand by and watch you die."
Shi Lan shook her head. Among the disciples who came with her, she only knew Jian Shu and Zhang Dongji.
As the team leader, Jian Shu prioritized the overall situation. Zhang Dongji was enthusiastic, but he lacked ability, and she didn't want to drag him down. As for the rest, who would be willing to fight to the death with another sect for the sake of a stranger from the same sect?
"Senior Brother Zhang, there's no need to persuade me anymore. My mind is made up. I must get to the bottom of this matter. If you see Senior Brother Jian, please tell him that I am officially leaving the sect from this moment on. As for the spiritual vein that I lost during the Foundation Establishment stage, I, Shi Lan, will definitely compensate for it if there is an opportunity in the future." After saying that, Shi Lan directly pushed aside the dense vines and quickly crawled inside.
The vines fell again, swaying and dropping a few withered leaves.
Zhang Dongji tried to stop him, but he couldn't.
This matter involves too many sects and has too many implications. After thinking it over, Zhang Dongji decided to first find Jian Shu, communicate with him, and then try to help Shi Lan.
With a heavy sigh, Zhang Dongji hung his head and chased after the direction Jian Shu was leading.
A few hours later, Zhang Dongji ran into You Yue, who was wandering around aimlessly.
Zhang Dongji knew a little about the Demon Spirit Sect.
The people in the Demon Spirit Sect are all a bit strange, neither entirely righteous nor entirely evil, and they act entirely according to their own whims.
Zhang Dongji was an honest and simple person. When he saw someone like that, he would immediately turn his head away, wishing he could hide as far away as possible.
Upon seeing him, You Yue quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."
Zhang Dongji shrank his neck, pretending not to hear, and quickened his pace by three steps.
You Yue remembered that this person seemed to be traveling with Shi Lan, so he wanted to ask where Shi Lan was. However, the person ran away as soon as he saw him, which made You Yue feel rebellious. He directly flew out his magic weapon and stopped Zhang Dongji.
Zhang Dongji's magical artifact was recently damaged by the Ghost Control Sect members, leaving him only with the spiritual artifacts he used to possess. (Latest and fastest updates, free reading)
When a magical artifact is compared to a higher-level magical artifact, it's like a thin piece of paper touching a sharp knife; it will shatter into pieces at the slightest touch.
Zhang Dongji, his face pale, untied his storage bag and looked pitifully at You Yue, saying, "Fellow Daoist, this is all the stuff I have. If you don't mind, please take it all."
You Yue's great-grandfather was a powerful elder in the Demon Spirit Sect. He had countless magical artifacts and spiritual medicines since childhood. Even if Zhang Dongji had thrown these things in front of him, he wouldn't have bothered to even glance at them.
"Who cares about this piece of junk? I'm asking you, where's Shi Lan, who's on your team?"
After the incident, Zhang Dongji became extremely sensitive to the name Shi Lan. Thinking of the sects that besieged Shi Lan, he barely suppressed his trembling body and put on a bitter face, saying, "After I came out of the library, I was driven away by those people from the Buddhist sect. At that time, Junior Sister Shi had not yet come out, and I do not know where she is now."
You Yue touched his chin and looked at him scrutinizingly.
Zhang Dongji straightened his chest and abdomen, trying his best to appear natural.
He thought to himself, "Anyway, what I said is the truth. Jingkong drove away the people from Qingyi Sect and asked the people from Jian Sect to leave. Some of the remaining people left and some stayed. Even if this guy asks, he'll just give the same answer."
You Yue seemed to believe his explanation and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, you can go now."
Zhang Dongji tentatively took two steps forward, then turned to see You Yue already heading towards the library. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly slapped on a teleportation talisman and hurried off to find Jian Shu.
At this moment, Shi Lan, still deep in the dense forest, was quietly lurking in a small mountain hollow, and in the distance, one could faintly hear the hushed chatter of several people walking around.
"Fellow Daoist Jingyue, are you sure that demoness is coming this way?"
