The disciple was pale, his brows furrowed, clutching his aching chest. His lips were stained with blood. Xie Zhou helped him up and asked softly, "Are you alright? How are your injuries now? I have some medicine here..."
The sect disciple's fellow disciples quickly stepped forward and helped Xie Zhou to his feet.
Xie Zhou then released his grip, and the disciple was taken away by his fellow disciples for treatment.
Seeing the injured disciple's pained expression, she initially intended to take out some pills from her storage space. However, a leader from the same sect stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you for saving me, young lady. May I ask your name? Our sect will definitely visit you in the future to express our gratitude with a generous reward!"
He bowed respectfully, but did not raise his head or stand up.
Xie Zhou quickly grabbed his arm and said with a smile, "Brother, you're too kind. There's no need for all this. It was just helping out, something I had to do. If someone else were in danger, you would definitely have stepped forward to help too. I saw it clearly just now. To protect a young lady, your arm was also slashed by that man in black."
The senior brother's eyes widened slightly as he curiously examined the girl in front of him.
He had covered his wound with his magic, but the girl noticed it at a glance. She then smiled and said, "My plan was clumsy, but thank you for saving me, young lady!"
Xie Zhou smiled and took out a bottle of pills from his storage space.
Seeing that he was about to leave, she quickly chased after him and said, "Take this medicine. Your injuries are quite severe, and that disciple also urgently needs detoxification. Moreover, he is very likely to be affected by the resentment on that man in black. You must make sure he calms his mind and doesn't let that resentment control him!"
"Thank you, young lady!"
The man bowed solemnly and left. The system had already detected why the man in black had caused the riot.
"Host, host, it seems that the man in black rioted because he provoked something? He was infected by something unclean, which is why he became like this. He has lost his mind now, but his original divine consciousness is still there. Host, you might as well go in and investigate how he became like this. System, although we can detect some things, it is not complete. We need to investigate further with the host."
"So what if one person riots? Kill them one by one, or two by two. There's no need to worry about that at all."
The system then said with a serious expression, "Host, you must not be careless. This is an ancient battlefield. The sudden riot means that a major crisis has occurred. If more people are controlled by this strange aura and the number of rioters increases, are you going to kill them all?"
These words left Xie Zhou speechless. He could only turn around and look at the man in black. He saw that the man in black was bleeding profusely from his wound, but his eyes were still staring intently ahead of him.
He was lying on the ground. Xie Zhou's move hadn't completely killed him, but it had temporarily rendered the man in black unable to move.
Xie Zhou then stepped forward and opened his spiritual power, slowly entering the body of the man in black to sense what was happening within his consciousness. After all, this method allowed him to understand what the man in black had experienced before.
"roar!……"
Suddenly, a series of skulls with gaping, blood-red mouths, emanating a strange aura, rushed towards Xie Zhou's face, startling her so much that she quickly retreated.
But then she stopped being terrified, because she knew that what the man in black had seen was not what was happening now.
As Xie Zhou relaxed slightly, he saw an even more terrifying monster. There were many men in black around it, as if they had released the monster. It was extremely ugly, with a blue face and fangs. The monster exuded a terrifying aura. Although Xie Zhou did not experience it firsthand, he could sense how terrifying the monster was.
Soon, a chaotic battle broke out, with many men in black brandishing swords and knives, tearing at each other.
It's possible that the aura emanating from this monster infected others, causing it to relentlessly slaughter them.
The scene was extremely bloody. Soon, the area was covered in crimson flowers, no longer resembling its previous appearance, and the terrifying monster had vanished without a trace.
Xie Zhou withdrew his mental energy and stopped watching.
The man in black seemed to have seen something. He convulsed, his wounds became increasingly festering, and blood kept gushing out. Soon, the man in black died, and the black aura around him dissipated into the air as his life passed away.
She then informed the system of the situation, and the system made a preliminary determination as to why these men in black had suddenly rioted.
The system could roughly guess that the terrifying monster likely possessed some mysterious power from the ancient forbidden land, but it was evil, and some people had been bewitched and ended up like this.
"Host, you should leave this place immediately. This place is too dangerous. We don't know if the other men in black infected by the black energy will come this way. Whether it's the men in black or the monster, you should leave here as soon as possible!"
She nodded in agreement and replied, "You're right, we have to leave here immediately, but why hasn't Senior Brother Song come out yet? What's going on?"
No sooner had Xie Zhou finished speaking than he appeared out of nowhere. A portal of light flashed, and Senior Brother Song emerged, followed by several fellow disciples.
Soon after, the Sword Sect members had assembled.
Xie Zhou quickly joined them, while Mr. Song, who initially had a big smile on his face, looked slightly strange after seeing many corpses on the road. However, his worries disappeared when he saw his lively junior sister Xie.
Senior Brother Song then inquired about this matter.
"Junior Sister Xie, what just happened here?"
Xie Zhou then explained in detail: "Senior Brother Song, a black-clad man suddenly went berserk here. He was indiscriminately hunting down disciples from other sects. I have already dealt with him, but after examining the black-clad man's spiritual sense, I discovered that some of the black-clad men seemed to have entered the forbidden area of the ancient battlefield and released a terrifying monster, which caused these black-clad men to suddenly go berserk. We should leave here as soon as possible!"
A disciple stepped forward and asked curiously, "Monster? What monster? Are there forbidden areas at the ancient site?"
She shook her head repeatedly and said, "I don't know where the monster is now, and I don't know where the forbidden area of the ancient battlefield is either. Let's leave these matters to the elders in the sect, since we are not familiar with this place."
