Ruan Xiyan's eyes were sharp, and she held one hand firmly to a rock on the mountain peak.
The Frostfall Sword appeared in his other hand, shattering all the falling rocks overhead.
Thanks to Ruan Xiyan's reminder, Yu Qiqi and the others did not panic in the face of this sudden situation, but instead took out their weapons to deal with it.
After a wave of tumbling pebbles subsided, Ruan Xiyan remained vigilant.
These pebbles are just an appetizer; the real main event is yet to come.
Suddenly, a rain of arrows came from all directions.
The arrows rained down densely, and everyone hurriedly defended themselves.
People were riddled with arrows and fell off the mountain peak.
A group of people dressed in black robes appeared before everyone's eyes, walking effortlessly among the flames on the mountain peaks.
"Why wasn't their spiritual power suppressed by the surrounding flames?" someone asked, puzzled, upon seeing this.
"Heretical cultivators! They are heretical cultivators!"
Some sharp-eyed people recognized the origins of the group of men in black robes.
Evil cultivators practice all sorts of strange and bizarre evil arts. Their own power has long since mutated and is no longer simply spiritual energy.
Nature is naturally unaffected by these flames.
"How could these despicable beings, whom everyone hates, appear here!"
"These rats in the street dare to dream of going to the cultivation continent? Bah!"
Before the person could finish speaking, the evil cultivator who had suddenly appeared in front of him snapped his jaw.
"You must remember that right now you are the ants who can be slaughtered at will."
"You ants, your lives will no longer belong to you. Prepare for the impending slaughter!"
Those evil cultivators grinned menacingly and swooped down towards them.
Ruan Xiyan looked at Yu Qiqi and the others and said, "Let's get to the top of the mountain as soon as possible. Fighting halfway up the mountain is too disadvantageous for us."
They were suppressed by the flames halfway up the mountain, and were restricted in every way.
However, these heretical practitioners remain unaffected.
Only by reaching the summit of the mountain as quickly as possible will they have a chance to catch their breath and fight back.
Not only Ruan Xiyan understood this principle, but everyone else did too.
They did their best to dodge the rain of arrows, avoiding prolonged entanglement with the evil cultivators, and quickly headed towards the summit.
However, since the evil cultivators chose to launch an attack in such a favorable environment, they naturally wouldn't let them easily reach the summit and turn the tide.
Those evil cultivators had a clear division of labor, and the bloody slaughter quickly spread around them.
Ruan Xiyan's Glazed Demon Flame appeared, forming a protective shield around them to block the rain of arrows.
Under Ruan Xiyan's cover, Yu Qiqi and the others quickly ascended.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the heretical cultivators.
"There really are some hidden talents who can protect themselves with such powerful flames even without spiritual power."
One of the evil cultivators' eyes flashed with greed, "This flame is so powerful. If I could possess it, I wouldn't have to worry about not having a way to protect myself when I go to the cultivation continent."
"Since you like it so much, I'll give it to you." Ruan Xiyan sneered.
A small flame split off from the Glazed Demon Flame in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, it flew to the evil cultivator.
Having experienced the terrifying power of the small flame up close, the evil cultivator was too late to stop it, and the small flame entered his body.
"ah--!!!"
The evil cultivator let out a shrill scream, and finally turned into a pile of ashes before everyone's eyes.
It vanished completely with a single gust of wind.
The other evil cultivators were astonished, but what followed was overwhelming anger.
Despite being at a disadvantage, this woman still dared to be so arrogant, killing their people as if she didn't take them seriously at all.
A small group of the evil cultivators went to deal with the people around them, while the majority of the rest turned around and attacked Ruan Xiyan and her group.
Because Ruan Xiyan had drawn attention to the area, the people around her seized the opportunity and hurriedly climbed to the top of the mountain.
Ruan Xiyan looked at Yu Qiqi and the others, who were protected by the Glazed Demon Flame, and said, "You guys continue up, I'll stop them."
Now that they have no spiritual power, staying behind would make them easy targets for evil cultivators.
It would be better to reach the summit as soon as possible, recover our spiritual power, and then slaughter these evil cultivators without leaving a single one alive.
Their presence here is not only unhelpful, but also distracts Sister Yan.
Yu Qiqi and the others naturally understood this principle.
"Sister Yan, you have to be careful." Yu Qiqi's eyes were filled with worry.
“Xi Yan, I don’t need spiritual power, but I still have poison in my body. I’ll stay and help you.” Luo Wanyin looked at Ruan Xi Yan with a firm expression.
"Trying to leave? Do you think you can leave!" The attacks from those evil cultivators quickly reached them.
Luo Wanyin threw the poison in her hand at the evil cultivators opposite her as if it were free, and the poison reached them.
"burst!"
As Luo Wanyin's voice fell, the poison bottle exploded right in front of the evil cultivator.
As a cloud of poisonous fog obscured their vision, it also seeped into their bodies.
Their skin began to fester layer by layer.
The Mysterious Sound Ancient Qin appeared in Ruan Xiyan's hand, and beautiful music rang out around her.
However, when those musical notes entered the ears of the evil cultivators, they felt a surge in their spiritual consciousness, causing unbearable pain.
The Soul-Binding Vine on Ruan Xiyan's wrist swept out.
The vines lashed at the evil cultivator like whips.
The heretical practitioners fell from mid-air one by one like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Except for Ruan Xiyan and Luo Wanyin, who remained in place, everyone else was struggling to climb to the summit.
Seeing that there was an evil cultivator trying to fly up and grab Yingxue, Ruan Xiyan brandished the Soul-Binding Vine.
The vines wrapped around the evil cultivator's legs and suddenly pulled him off.
Jun Yu observed the situation around him with an indifferent expression, without intervening.
Besides keeping his gaze fixed on Ruan Xiyan, he would occasionally spare a glance at Lin Muze and the others who were climbing.
He is not a god who protects all living beings, nor does he have the leisure to protect a group of unrelated people.
On the contrary, he is a cold-blooded demon who always chooses to stand by and watch things that don't concern him.
Of all the people present, he only cared about Ayan.
He only spared some time to keep an eye on Lin Muze and the others because they were Ayan's friends.
After all, if something happened to them, Ayan would be heartbroken, and he couldn't bear to see Ayan even slightly sad.
Thanks to Ruan Xiyan and Luo Wanyin's repeated interceptions of the evil cultivators, Yu Qiqi and her companions successfully reached the summit.
"My lord, come up quickly, let's stop these evil cultivators!" Tinghe shouted anxiously.
Some people perished at the foot of the mountain due to attacks by heretical practitioners, while others gradually made it to the summit.
Once you reach the summit, you'll no longer be suppressed by the flames covering the mountainside.
As their spiritual energy returned to their bodies, Yu Qiqi and the others immediately used it to attack the evil cultivator in mid-air.
