The eerie atmosphere was permeated with an unsettling sense of death.
With each member of the Ling Sect possessing a spirit talisman, they felt much more at ease.
Soon they arrived at a relatively large house.
Lan Cao said somewhat awkwardly, "Our Yongquan Village is very poor, and we hope that you fairies and immortals will not find it unworthy."
Upon hearing the noise outside, disciples of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect came out of the house.
"Senior Sister Qiao, Senior Brother Lei, Junior Sister Wei..."
Since everyone knew each other, there was no need for small talk; everyone went inside immediately.
Several disciples of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect were injured, and Wei Qinghe frowned at just one glance.
"You've been poisoned."
Even though she hadn't seen any injuries on the Nine Heavens Sword Sect disciples, Wei Qinghe immediately concluded that they had been poisoned.
The disciples of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect were skeptical of Wei Qinghe's words. As poor sword cultivators, they could only endure their injuries and only resort to medicine or pills when the injuries were more serious.
I obtained quite a few medicines and pills by following Daoist Fuyue this time, but it seems that there has been no improvement after using them.
"Junior Brother Kong, why don't you quickly show your wound to your junior sister?" Qiao Luoning was a very decisive person, and she trusted her junior sister's judgment.
These sword cultivators were all elite disciples, yet they didn't even realize they were poisoned, which shows that this matter was far from simple.
"Junior Sister, you should heal and detoxify the junior brothers of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect first. My junior brothers and I will go out and look around."
Wei Qinghe nodded. Every time she drew talismans and refined pills, she would deliberately prepare a set for Qiao Luoning, so Qiao Luoning had enough protective items.
"Thank you for your trouble, Junior Sister Wei." Kong Shun was the head of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect's direct disciples and was an upright person.
The disciples of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect did not disbelieve that Wei Qinghe knew medicine just because she was a sword cultivator.
Wei Qinghe unwrapped the blood-stained gauze from Kong Shun's arm. The bloodstains on the gauze were bright red. If Wei Qinghe hadn't said that he was poisoned, they really wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.
The most obvious changes from poisoning are discoloration of wounds and bleeding.
Kong Shun's wounds and bleeding did not change color, which is why Wei Qinghe immediately realized he had been poisoned.
Under normal circumstances, the bleeding from the knife-like cut on Kong Shun's arm should have decreased by now, and the skin of the wound should have changed.
Wei Qinghe took out specially made silver needles and applied them to the wound, gradually stopping the bleeding.
"No wonder we're all bleeding so much, it turns out we've been poisoned."
Although the group was somewhat excited, their paleness due to excessive blood loss was immediately apparent.
Soon the venom was forced out by the silver needles, and Wei Qinghe used her spiritual power to force it out one by one. Kong Shun's originally pale face finally eased.
"This is demonic poison." Wei Qinghe frowned, fearing that the disappearance of the Yongquan Village residents was likely related to the demon race.
"Senior Brother Kong, please distribute these pills among the other senior brothers."
Kong Shun didn't think much of it and just thanked him repeatedly before accepting the pill. But when he poured out the pill and was about to take it, he was instantly dumbfounded.
"A top-grade, extremely high-quality pill?"
The other disciples inside also looked in the direction of the sound, and were all dumbfounded when they saw the top-grade pill in Kong Shun's hand.
Junior Sister Wei not only wanted to detoxify them, but also gave them such precious top-grade pills to eat.
What merit or ability do they possess?
Previously, during the Sword Cultivator Competition and the Mirror Flower Secret Realm, everyone had some understanding and contact with Wei Qinghe.
Wei Qinghe is an excellent cultivator. How blind must Dai Xingyu be to not cherish such a good girl and instead run off to fawn over Liuli Zhenjun?
The Crystal Lord was utterly disliked, and to make matters worse, he was attacked by demonic cultivators…
"Everyone, quickly take the pills. This matter is probably related to the demon race. I need to go and check on the situation."
Wei Qinghe knew what the Nine Heavens Sword Sect disciples were surprised about, but she didn't want to explain further.
After saying that, she continued to detoxify and heal the disciples of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect.
The disciples of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect were even more grateful to him.
It was completely dark outside, with only a faint glimmer of light visible at the village entrance.
When Wei Qinghe came out, she didn't see any Lingzong disciples returning, nor did she see Daoist Fuyue or the other cultivators. This made Wei Qinghe increasingly uneasy.
"Senior brothers, you all rest for a bit, I'll go out and take a look."
Kong Shun quickly stood up. Although he knew that Wei Qinghe was no ordinary person, this matter concerned the demon race, and even Daoist Fuyue had not returned yet. He could not let Wei Qinghe go out alone.
"Junior Sister Wei, I'll go with you."
The two of them could look out for each other, and if they were unlucky enough to encounter danger, he would definitely try to buy time for Wei Qinghe.
Wei Qinghe did not refuse, and the two walked forward together.
Yongquan Village is not large, and the further you go, the less light there is; the dim yellow light from inside the lanterns is not enough to provide illumination.
The two men simultaneously became alert, when suddenly their feet began to tremble violently.
It looked like something was about to emerge from underground.
"Danger!"
Wei Qinghe reacted quickly, teleporting away first, and Kong Shun also dodged.
The spot where the two had just been standing now had a large crack, which was spreading in all directions, and black energy was seeping out from the crack.
"Senior Brother Kong, there's something wrong with this black energy! Protective shield!" Wei Qinghe shouted at Kong Shun.
Two protective shields instantly rose up, with black energy swirling around them, as if trying to penetrate them.
The protective shield is an extremely powerful self-protection technique, but it requires spiritual energy to support it.
"This black mist is probably heading towards the village."
Kong Shun said worriedly, "Junior Sister Wei, let's find a way to stop the black energy."
There weren't many villagers left in Yongquan Village to begin with, and who knows what kind of harm this black aura will cause them.
Speaking of the villagers, Wei Qinghe had felt that Yongquan Village was strange before, and now he realized that he had only seen Lan Cao since he entered the village.
Even if the villagers were terrified, they should have shown themselves once they learned that someone from the immortal sect was coming to help them.
"Senior Brother Kong, have you seen the orchids and villagers other than the village chief before?"
The mottled, swaying lanterns reappeared before her eyes, and the more Wei Qinghe thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
"We didn't see any other villagers. The village chief led us to investigate, but we were injured, so Daoist Fuyue told us to come back first."
Kong Shun spoke truthfully. After Wei Qinghe's reminder, he seemed to have thought of something as well, and suddenly stared at Wei Qinghe in surprise.
"Junior Sister Wei, you mean..."
"Let's not move yet," Wei Qinghe said calmly, her clear eyes fixed on the black mist that continued to rise from the crack in the ground.
The area continued to expand, but it stopped at the village entrance. The howling black mist only gathered and swirled outside the village entrance, showing no intention of entering the village.
This inevitably makes people think a lot.
Kong Shun stared wide-eyed, finding it utterly unbelievable.
"Junior Sister Wei, why did this black mist and the fissure in the ground suddenly stop at the village entrance? Is there something in the village that they fear?"
