Chapter 169 Corpse Pit
The young man looked at this scene and didn't understand anything.
He glared at Shen Chaochao, his voice trembling with anger: "You actually colluded with the demon clan and killed your fellow disciples. You...you...are simply..." You are so heartless...
The image of his fellow disciples collapsing before him was still vivid in his mind. The thought that their deaths were linked to this normally gentle and kind-hearted young sister filled the young man with rage. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body trembling.
Shen Chaochao lifted her skirt and stepped back in disdain, then directed her at the little demon beside her and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Hold him back."
The two little demons controlled the boy as soon as they heard the order.
After seeing that he was completely unable to move, Shen Chaochao gracefully walked up to him and said softly, "Junior brother, I don't want to harm you, but I still want to return to the sect, so you have to die. That way, no one will know about this. You also know that the secret realm is dangerous, and it is normal for a few sect disciples to die occasionally. As for the rest, don't worry, I will rescue them and become the savior of all the sect disciples."
The boy was speechless and just stared at her fiercely with his red eyes.
Shen Chaochao chuckled, looking as innocent as usual, and said calmly: "Don't worry, Junior Brother, I won't let you suffer too much. Although your luck is not as good as that of several senior brothers, it is already very strong compared to ordinary people. Since you are going to die, leaving your luck behind can be regarded as a worthy death. You have done the last thing for Senior Sister. Senior Sister will remember your kindness."
After saying this, Shen Chaozhao's lips curled up into a cruel smile. She placed one hand gently on the boy's head, the other hand tightly grasping something, placing it on his heart. As the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuated, the boy's black hair quickly turned white, and wrinkles appeared on his face.
The anger in the boy's eyes was replaced by fear. He tried to struggle, but couldn't move at all.
He could only watch helplessly as his life was plundered.
In just a few breaths, the energetic young man turned into an old man in his twilight years.
The two little demons released their hands that were holding him, and the young man fell to the ground helplessly, his life or death unknown.
Shen Chaochao wiped his hands with a handkerchief and lightly threw the handkerchief at the boy.
He said coldly: "The old rules are to throw it farther away."
"yes."
The two little demons dragged the boy's body and left as if they were familiar with the place.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Shen Chaochao took the demon tribe away, and the cave entrance returned to its previous appearance.
········
Nan Xiao and the other two looked at each other. An indescribable atmosphere weighed down on them, making it difficult for them to breathe.
After a long silence, Lu Huai was the first to speak: "Let's go and take a look."
"good"
The three of them were in low spirits and waited quietly for a while. After the other two teams of demons returned, Nan Xiao and the other two hid their figures and quietly followed.
Several people followed the little demon all the way to the fork in the road, then followed them into the middle road and walked forward quickly for half an incense stick of time.
A ten-meter-sized corpse pit suddenly appeared in front of the three people.
The scene inside the pit was shocking. Corpses lay in a chaotic mess, squeezed and piled on top of each other. The clothes they wore were all different. There were clothes from the Tianjian Sect, the Huanhai Sect, the Lingshou Sect, the Xiaoyao Sect, and so on... almost every sect had clothes.
They were all dead, and they all had one thing in common: they all looked very old.
Those wrinkled faces with eyes open in death seemed particularly eerie and terrifying in the silent night, and also expressed their unwillingness.
The two little demons skillfully tossed the corpse aside and were about to return to report when a sword, brimming with murderous intent, came charging towards them.
Although they were little demons, they had also reached the Golden Core cultivation level. The two little demons subconsciously wanted to hide, but dozens of vines rose from the ground around them without anyone noticing, tightly entangling their figures, making it impossible for them to break free in a short time.
Ye Wumian's sword reached the two demons, one of whom was pierced through the head by Ye Wumian's sword. The other demon was lucky enough to avoid the fatal blow, but before it could rejoice, a swift rocket shot towards it, followed closely by Lu Huai's sword move. The demon didn't struggle for long before Lu Huai decapitated it.
The three of them looked at the pit full of corpses and couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
Ye Wumian cut off the heads of the two little demons and placed them in front of the corpse pit. The three of them bowed and saluted deeply.
Afterwards, Nan Xiao and the other two removed the identity tags from the corpses and placed the corpses of several Xiaoyao Sect disciples separately.
She said, "My fellow brothers and sisters, rest in peace. We will take care of the rest."
After she finished speaking, she condensed a ball of spiritual fire in her hand and threw it towards the pile of corpses.
The spiritual fire quickly jumped up and turned into a raging fire.
Nan Xiao used vines to dig out the demon cores of the two monsters, then stripped off their clothes and threw their bodies into a random ditch.
After finishing all this, the three of them took a last look in the direction of the fire, their backs lengthened in the firelight.
········
At the same time, in the deepest part of the cave.
In an empty and desolate cave.
Outside were the demons watching eagerly, while inside was filled with disciples from various sects.
They all had pale faces and determined eyes. They gathered all their spiritual power together to support the formation and prevent it from being broken by the demons outside.
Jiangxia and his group were forced to retreat to this place for more than half a month.
This defensive formation was left behind by some predecessor thousands of years ago. Because it had been there for so long, it was severely damaged in many places.
Everyone worked together and used all their resources to repair the formation. However, they couldn't make up for this last bit, so they could only use spiritual power to force it.
They had been trapped in this place for a long time, with the demons outside periodically attacking, trying to force their way through the formation. The demons were powerful, with the strongest at the Spiritualization stage and the weakest at the Golden Core stage. On Jiang Xia's side, the strongest were only at the Nascent Soul stage, and there were also many disciples at the Foundation Establishment stage. They were definitely no match for them. After discovering that the teleportation jade token was ineffective, they had no choice but to repair the formation and wait for rescue.
Those disciples with low realms had weak spiritual power and could no longer withstand the non-stop spiritual power output. They could only take turns to rest.
The main force still depends on the direct disciples of several sects.
Jian Mo looked at the five remaining soul-replenishing pills in her hand, looked at her fellow junior brothers, and then looked at her senior brother, feeling a little hesitant.
Everyone's spiritual energy has been almost depleted, and these spiritual energy-replenishing pills are undoubtedly the last hope.
If in the end, they did not wait for the master to rescue them and only one person could survive, she wanted the eldest brother to survive.
Zhou Shiqing seemed to see through Jian Mo's thoughts and said softly, "Third Junior Sister, under such circumstances, I will not abandon you to live alone."
