Everyone was intimidated by Xu Yuehuai's words, especially those who had originally come with the idea of just loafing around. Many of them avoided eye contact when Xu Yuehuai looked at them.
Chishui sneered, "Look at these humans, they're all selfish and self-serving. Little girl, are you sure you want to go against me for people like them?"
"I can let you off the hook. I'll let you... and your friend go out now." Chishui originally only wanted Xu Yuehuai to leave alone, but seeing how much she valued her friends, he immediately changed his mind.
Chishui realized that Xu Yuehuai was a girl with some strength. At worst, he would suffer a loss, release Xu Yuehuai and her friends, and eat less. The remaining people would be enough for him to vent his anger.
Linghu Zhou, Yueying, and the others all looked at her, waiting for her answer.
Xu Yuehuai knew that Chishui was only afraid of the power of the Yuanshui in his body. His purpose had never changed from beginning to end, but it had become more risky and safer.
"What if I say I don't want to?" Xu Yuehuai asked indifferently, holding a silver sword in her hand. She stood at the front of the group, her beautiful face making people feel good.
Chishui scoffed coldly, "Then you can all stay here and become my nourishment!"
As he spoke, Chishui unleashed a surge of resentment, accompanied by a powerful attack.
Xu Yuehuai dodged to the left, avoiding the intense attack of resentment.
Several people behind, caught off guard, were struck in the shoulder by the resentful energy. Wisps of black smoke immediately rose from their shoulders, and the disciples dressed in white sect robes fell to the ground, wailing in pain: "Ahhh! It hurts so much! Help me! Help me!"
The shoulders gradually revealed white bones, which was extremely eerie.
Upon seeing this, Linghu Zhou frowned, stepped forward to look at the disciples, and after a moment, shook his head and said, "I have no way to resolve this resentment. If you have anything that can resolve the resentment, you might be able to save your lives."
Linghu Zhou was considered a semi-physician, and his expression was grave.
After looking at the disciple on the ground, he walked over to Xu Yuehuai and said in a serious tone, "Judging from the current situation, we have no way to treat this injury. If that's the case, our chances of winning against him will decrease even further."
Linghu Zhou didn't lower his voice, and everyone around him heard it.
One or two disciples couldn't stand the atmosphere and threw down their weapons, rushing towards the lava below the platform, shouting, "I don't want to live anymore! I don't want to suffer!"
As he spoke, he plunged into the lava. Immediately, a wail rang out, but Xu Yuehuai's expression didn't even change.
Ji Yue stood at the back of the line, watching this scene, and frowned uncomfortably.
After that person died, a wisp of something entered Chishui's brow.
"Delicious! Absolutely delicious!" These are the various negative emotions generated by the dead, which can increase his strength.
Seeing this, Xu Yuehuai gripped her silver sword tightly, channeled her spiritual power, imbued it with a strange fire, and aimed straight at Chishui's brow, shouting, "Die!"
Just as the sword tip was about to touch Chishui's brow, he dissipated into a cloud of smoke, which then condensed into a human shape beside Xu Yuehuai.
He wanted to throw Xu Yuehuai into the lava from behind. Seeing this, Linghuzhou and Cixi both grabbed their weapons and headed towards Chishui's back.
"Monster! Don't even think about sneaking up on me!" Cixi shouted, mimicking Xu Yuehuai's moves, and started her attack from Chishui.
Hearing the sound, Xu Yuehuai knew danger and dodged to the side, avoiding Chishui's deadly attack. However, his back was still stained with some resentment, and wisps of black smoke rose from under his clothes.
Chishui immediately dodged, his sharp eyes sweeping over the two men who had ambushed him from behind. "Very good!"
Chishui stood some distance away from them, clasped his hands together, and drew some incomprehensible patterns in the air. In a short while, a strong wind rose around them, and the lava was blown around with a whooshing sound.
Someone glanced down and exclaimed in shock, "We're doomed! The lava is rising! Everyone get out of here!"
The man's words made everyone look down, and sure enough, the lava was moving upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, Chishui, who had been standing on one side of the platform, suddenly dispersed into a cloud of mist, his laughter echoing throughout the space, "Hehehe! Enjoy the grand gift I've prepared for you!"
Chishui's strength is limited, and he intends to use this method to kill them all here.
Xu Yuehuai calmly looked around; all she could see were stone walls, with nowhere to hide or leave.
This is a completely enclosed space.
It seems... there's only one way: kill Chishui!
"Everyone, we must find and kill Chishui now to have any chance of survival!" Xu Yuehuai didn't hide anything and told them the news.
Many people still longed to live. Upon hearing this, they began to look around. Wherever there was a patch of black mist, someone would inevitably swing their weapon and slash at it, chanting, "Die!"
Most of the people on site were repeating the same actions, as if they had gone mad.
Xu Yuehuai stood still, observing.
If there was nowhere else to go, how did Chishui leave? Could he have some kind of spatial scroll? Otherwise, how could he have traveled from one place to another in such a short time?
But this idea was quickly overturned by Xu Yuehuai.
At this moment, Yuan Shui spoke up to remind him, "Is invisibility possible? He's lived for so many years, it's not impossible that he knows some special spells."
Invisibility is considered a high-level spell in the third level, and very few people know it.
Xu Yuehua smiled and said, "I know how to get him out."
Xu Yuehuai sat cross-legged, now she needed to quickly absorb spiritual energy.
She had just used up most of her spiritual power to break through the array's core.
Some people saw Xu Yuehuai sit down on the spot and were somewhat dissatisfied. "Didn't she tell everyone to unite and not slack off? What is she doing?"
“Say less. After all, she’s the one who rescued us from underground. Perhaps she used up most of her spiritual power to save us?” the young man said to the person next to him who was dressed in the same clothes.
He was glad that he had asked Xu Yuehuai to come up an hour later before going up, otherwise they might have become skeletons by now.
Once the first person voiced their dissatisfaction, others joined in, "So what? Doesn't she go out herself? We're all running low on spiritual energy, why haven't we been resting!"
Xu Yuehuai was simply meditating, so naturally he could hear what was being said outside.
She ignored them all; she would deal with these self-proclaimed righteous people later.
"Yes! I'm still not feeling well, and I want to rest too. Why should only Xu Yuehuai be able to rest?" The person who spoke was wearing clothes with a pattern very similar to Linghu Zhou's.
