When the man met Xiao Qingran's deep black eyes, he was shocked.
"You? Why are you still awake? Were you pretending to be unconscious before?"
The man was about thirty years old, with average looks and a slender build. The way he looked at Xiao Qingran made her feel very uncomfortable.
Xiao Qingran no longer pretended, and calmly stood up from the ground, staring at the other person with sharp eyes: "You deserve to die."
This man actually used the sinister method of taking yin to replenish yang, absorbing the spiritual power of the female cultivator to advance himself.
It is conceivable how miserable the fate of a female cultivator whose spiritual power is sucked away will be.
Men who treat women as cauldrons must die.
"What a big mouth you have! Once a woman falls into my hands, no matter how capable she is, she can't escape from my palm."
The man looked at Xiao Qingran jokingly: "Don't worry, it will be your turn next."
Xiao Qingran smiled instead of getting angry: "Do you think you still have time?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a sky full of soul-eating flying ants suddenly swooped down from the cave entrance.
The soul-eating flying ants flew straight towards the man with purpose.
"Soul-eating flying ants?"
The man's voice changed in fright as he looked at the soul-eating flying ants that suddenly appeared in the cave and attacked only him.
"ah……"
Stung by the soul-eating flying ant, the man let out a miserable cry.
"Tell me, what helped you to sweep us out of the wind and into this cave?"
If it weren't for that gust of wind, it would have been impossible for this man to capture so many female cultivators at once, including several at the Jindan stage.
"I won't tell you, what can you do to me?"
The man danced with his hands to drive away the soul-eating flying ants on his body, and used his spiritual power to shake the soul-eating flying ants off his body from time to time.
But countless soul-eating flying ants were like weeds, one pile fell and another pile came back.
After a while, the man's spiritual power was exhausted and he felt a little listless.
Xiao Qingran stood aside, watching the scene expressionlessly.
Until the man fell to the ground and crawled towards Xiao Qingran's feet step by step.
"It was you, you who let these soul-eating flying ants sting me, right? Please, let me go! I won't dare to do it again."
Xiao Qingran kicked the man aside and stared at him coldly: "When you absorbed the spiritual energy of other female cultivators, did you ever think about their fate? I see that although you have reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, your foundation is not stable. If I am not mistaken, you have used sinister methods since the beginning of your cultivation. Tell me, how many women have you harmed?"
"No, I won't dare to do it again. As long as you let me go, I am willing to tell you this method."
The man's body was covered with blood blisters from being bitten by the soul-eating flying ants, and black blood was oozing from some parts of his body.
The poison of the soul-eating flying ant is a chronic poison.
After being bitten, it usually takes more than an hour to ferment.
Many people don't survive more than two hours.
Furthermore, there is no antidote for the Soul-Eating Flying Ants. Once poisoned, one can only wait for death.
"You're going to die anyway, so why are you still struggling? Tell me, who is helping you harm women?"
"Since you can get the Soul-Eating Ants to help you, there must be an antidote. If you save me, I will tell you everything I know. Otherwise, even if I die, I will take those secrets with me into my coffin."
The man thought Xiao Qingran couldn't do anything to him, so even though he was about to die, he still had the audacity to threaten him.
"It seems that you can't wait to see the King of Hell."
Xiao Qingran sneered, took out the mantra talisman, and flicked it with his finger.
The man felt as if he was being restrained by something, staring at Xiao Qingran with vigilance: "What did you do to me?"
Xiao Qingran smiled coldly: "Tell me, what is helping you?"
The man snorted in disdain and was about to scold Xiao Qingran for being delusional, but he blurted out the truth.
"It's a nightmare beast. I signed a temporary contract with it. It helps me capture people, and after I'm done, it will appear in their dreams and devour their memories until these women are no longer of any use."
The man found himself speaking the secret uncontrollably, and hurriedly covered his mouth with horror on his face.
Xiao Qingran's face was so cold it could freeze ice: "Who else did the Nightmare Beast sign such a contract with?"
Xiao Qingran always felt that there was more than just the man in front of her.
Otherwise, why didn't she see Shangguan Jing and her other junior sisters here?
"It seems like there are a lot. I know of more than a dozen. The Nightmare Beast grows by consuming the memories of others' dreams. It needs to consume a lot to advance. We've worked together many times over the years, and I've always been able to successfully advance."
"You were the ones who spread the news that there were divine beasts in the Monster Forest, deliberately attracting a large number of female cultivators. Was your goal to allow the nightmare beasts to capture people?"
The man nodded without hesitation. "Yes, it's not just me. There are others who have signed contracts with the Nightmare Beast. Whenever the Nightmare Beast needs to advance, it will use the power of the contract to transmit a message to me with its mind."
Xiao Qingran's expression grew increasingly heavy.
According to this man, there are many evil cultivators like him.
If this method were to be spread, there would be many men who only practiced for a short time without putting in any effort, and there would surely be more of them in the future.
Just like wildfire, it cannot be completely burned out and will continue to grow roots.
If you want to solve this problem, you have to deal with it at the source.
That is to kill the nightmare beast.
The source of all the troubles is this ferocious beast that devours memories in dreams.
If there was no such beast, even if she did not kill those men, these men would definitely suffer backlash because of the death of the nightmare beast.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qingran asked the man: "Do you know where the fierce beast is?"
The man shook his head. "I don't know. I've never seen him. Even when we signed the contract, he found me through a dream. I was scared at first, but after I tasted success, I became bolder. Actually, finding him is very simple. Wherever there are dreams, there will be him."
Xiao Qingran nodded and glanced at the man in agony: "Since you told me the truth, I will give you a quick death!"
After Xiao Qingran finished speaking, he was about to take action to deal with the other party.
The man said angrily, "Even if you kill me, you can't get out of here. This trap is so tight that only a master of formations above level four can enter but not exit."
Xiao Qingran sneered, "Really? If that's the case, then how did you get out?"
It was obvious that this man was not the formation master who set up this trap.
This man must have something in his hand that allowed him to leave here.
"I, I have a black jade token in my space. As long as I hold it, I can enter and exit freely. I..."
Under the effect of the truth talisman, the man almost bit off his tongue, but he couldn't stop himself from telling everything he knew.
"Very good, you can rest assured."
Xiao Qingran threw a sharp dagger at the man.
