Everyone looked up and noticed a strange aura surrounding the place. Feeling puzzled, one disciple stepped forward and asked, "Senior Sister Xie! This place seems to have the aura of the attack on Junior Brother earlier—demonic energy!"
After these words were spoken, the others also became vigilant, fearing that they might be suddenly attacked by the demonic energy and turned into a ruthless demon. Xie Zhou also looked around, and with her keen eyes, she could tell that there had been a particularly powerful aura in this place before.
Based on this speculation, Xie Zhou felt that it was very likely the monster released by the man in black. He wondered what had happened to the disciple after the attack. Although all the demonic energy had been cleared, if the demonic energy had planted a seed of inner demons, it would be too late for it to manifest.
At this moment, the system reminded him: "Host, don't worry. Under the influence of the power of all living beings, inner demons are impossible. Besides, when he had an attack and became a demon, you had already cleared away the demonic energy. He will only feel weak for a while, and then he will fully recover after a few days of recuperation and breathing exercises. There will be no hidden dangers left behind!"
With its guarantee, Xie Zhou was no longer worried. He glanced at the disciple a few times and then went forward to test him. Sure enough, there was a very powerful barrier at the entrance of this forbidden area.
Xie Zhou tentatively condensed a ball of energy in both hands and slammed it down on the barrier with all his might. With a loud "boom," the energy ball climbed upwards along with the barrier, but although the power was clearly being used to attack, the barrier was not damaged at all. Then the energy ball disappeared completely.
"What's going on? This barrier is incredibly strong!"
It seems we need more strength to attack this place. Then Xie Zhou shouted, "Disciples of the Sword Sect and the Worry-Free Pavilion, come and join forces to attack this barrier! This barrier is too powerful; I alone cannot break it!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing her say that she needed help, disciples from the Sword Sect and the Worry-Free Pavilion stepped forward, with the Sword Sect disciples leading the way.
Song Wu and Luo Fentian stepped forward. Song Wu spoke first, saying, "Junior Sister Xie, you must be tired too. You've exhausted yourself today. Why don't you go and rest for a while? Let's break this barrier together!"
Luo Fentian also chimed in, "Yes...yes, many hands make light work. You should rest for a while; we'll have to do this for the barrier!"
Xie Zhou shook his head and refused, saying, "Why would you ask me to rest now? I'm full of energy right now. Didn't we say that more people mean more strength? I'm not injured at all, so of course I can help you break this barrier. Besides, it was my decision to come to this forbidden area, so I should do my part. If the barrier isn't broken, then I'll go and rest!"
Then, the system suddenly said, "If the host is tired, he/she can take out spiritual fruits to replenish spiritual power and physical strength."
Xie Zhou had no interest in the system; instead, she started bargaining with her two senior brothers. She didn't want to just sit there doing nothing. If the barrier could be broken quickly, they would have one less problem to deal with.
Could we have a little more time to investigate what exactly happened? Where is the monster that the man in black released?
After a moment, Xie Zhou proved to be quite adept at verbal sparring. Her two fellow disciples were no match for her stubbornness, and Xie Zhou, in a state of victory, said with a smile, "You've been convinced, haven't you? Don't worry about it. I know all this, and I understand my own body."
"Okay, let's begin now!"
"When I counted to three, we all started attacking this place within the barrier!"
"yes!"
Xie Zhou made a hand gesture, his eyes fixed on that spot, and then said, "One, two, three, fire!"
At a command, countless gas clouds hurtled towards the barrier, all striking the same spot. The gas cloud attacks came one after another, the sounds continuous and deafening.
After a series of sounds, everyone was dumbfounded. The barrier had not been damaged at all and remained as sturdy as ever. Xie Zhou couldn't believe it. He stepped forward and patted the barrier, only to find that there wasn't a single crack. It was truly strange.
The first time they all attacked the same spot together, they didn't suffer any damage. This barrier must be too powerful. Could it be that ordinary spells simply can't break this barrier, and they need to use special methods?
Xie Zhou frowned slightly, looking thoughtfully at the intact barrier.
Faced with this result, the disciples of Sword Sect and Worry-Free Pavilion all showed surprise.
"How could this be? So many people attacking and there's still nothing we can do?"
"Who set up such a powerful barrier?"
"That's strange. Can we still go in?"
The crowd murmured amongst themselves, staring in shock at the barrier. Xie Zhou, after fumbling around for a while without success, turned and said, "Let's go back. It's getting late. If those rioters suddenly appear, we'll be in big trouble..."
Senior Brother Song stepped forward and said, "Junior Sister Xie has always been quite persistent, so why does she suddenly want to leave now?"
“Even if we all joined forces, we couldn’t break this barrier. Do you think I can break it by my own persistence? Besides, I’ve noticed something strange around us. It seems like there’s some danger lurking around. To avoid casualties, we should leave as soon as possible.”
"In that case, let's go!"
Having decided to leave, everyone gradually walked outside, but Xie Zhou was unwilling, turning back to look at the barrier with every step he took.
