"What about the Saint-grade disciples?"
"Didn't you say that there's a fourth type of disciple?" Xing Jue asked. He really wanted to understand the Sacred Alliance thoroughly.
"Saint-grade disciples? That's amazing. The entire Sacred Alliance only selects one Saint-grade disciple every year."
"In other words, the Saint-grade disciples represent the most outstanding disciples of the Sacred Alliance. They are the pride and representatives of the Sacred Alliance."
"Even if they leave the Sacred Alliance in the future, the Saint-grade disciples will receive the full support of the Sacred Alliance."
"Let's put it this way. Even people like us who have no background, if we can become a Saint-grade disciple and become one of the top clans in the Sacred Region in the future, they won't dare to look down on us. That's because the Saint-grade disciples are backed by the Sacred Alliance." Jiang Tian was very excited when he mentioned the Saint-grade disciples.
"So that's how it is!" Xing Jue roughly understood the Bai Residence's strength when he learned about the ranks of the Sacred Alliance's disciples.
Xing Jue wasn't afraid of a beginner Asura's combat spirit. He felt that with his current strength, he could even fight a beginner Asura's combat spirit if he fully activated the power of his bloodline and activated the Soul Eater Asura's high-grade Honorable Weapon.
However, Xing Jue had to take his identity as a middle-ranked disciple of the Sacred Alliance into consideration. After all, he wanted to join the Sacred Alliance as well. If he were to provoke such a colossus at this time, he would be in deep trouble.
"Quick, quick, follow me. I know where that witch is. I found traces of the Evil Spirit Body!"
At this moment, loud shouts came from the forest. At the same time, countless footsteps and the sound of wind breaking could be heard from afar as they gathered in that direction.
"Brother Xing Jue, let's go. They must have found the whereabouts of the Evil Spirit Body. Follow them. With your strength, you can definitely catch that witch first." At this moment, Jiang Tian suddenly stood up, his face filled with excitement.
Xing Jue didn't hesitate. He passed through layers of tall trees and joined the group.
However, Xing Jue's goal was not to capture the Evil Spirit Body, but to save Xue Mei.
More and more people gathered. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people had gathered. But most of them were Shura Wu Zun. The strongest was only a high-level Shura Wu Zun.
In the face of such a situation, Xing Jue quietly breathed a sigh of relief. What Xing Jue feared the most was the appearance of an Asura Battle Spirit. In that case, even he would have a hard time dealing with them.
Xing Jue and Jiang Tian followed the crowd as they ran. Meanwhile, the leader kept shouting for help. As for the leader's strength, he was also a high-level Asura, Wu Zun.
Moreover, after running for a full four hours and gathering close to a thousand people, Xing Jue did not see the leader, nor did he see anything like a communication talisman.
This made Xing Jue feel that something was not right. According to the information provided by Jiang Tian, the strength of the Evil Spirit Body was equivalent to that of a mid-level Asura, Wu Zun.
With that person's strength, he should be able to deal with the Evil Spirit Body on his own if he discovered its whereabouts. For the sake of the high reward, he shouldn't be gathering helpers and leaking the information.
Besides, he said that his companions had discovered the Evil Spirit Body, and he was leading the crowd to his companions' location.
However, he had not looked at the communication talisman recently. How did he know the location of his companions? This made Xing Jue wonder what the person was planning to do.
However, Xing Jue had no choice but to follow the crowd. The only thing he could do was to expand his soul to the limit in case something happened.
"As I thought, there's a conspiracy."
After running for a while, Xing Jue's lips curled up into a cold grin. He sensed an invisible formation a hundred li ahead.
Furthermore, there were fifteen Asura Martial God Realm experts guarding the formation. It was obvious that it was a trap.
"Brother Jiang, follow me closely, there's danger ahead."
Xing Jue was not afraid of the trap, but Jiang Tian was different. As such, he secretly transmitted his voice to Jiang Tian, telling him to be careful.
"Mm."
Although Jiang Tian's soul was not as strong as Xing Jue's, he had been a mercenary for ten years. He was experienced and had great observation skills. He too noticed that something was not right, thus he immediately followed behind Xing Jue.
"Let's see what you're up to."
The people present were not weak. A hundred li was nothing to them. In just the blink of an eye, they arrived at the formation that Xing Jue had sensed.
Before them was a vast forest. It did not look strange to the naked eye, but in Xing Jue's eyes, it was all an illusion. It was a formation.
Xing Jue could clearly sense that there were fifteen Martial God Asura hiding nearby. It was obvious that they were waiting for an ambush.
At that instant, the aura of the leader suddenly skyrocketed. With a leap, he leapt into the woods like a vigorous hare and disappeared into thin air.
"Huff huff huff."
Meanwhile, the sturdy ground under their feet began to soften, which eventually turned into a swamp, causing the crowd to sink into it.
"Crap, we've fallen into a trap. It's a trap, it's a trap!"
"Damn it, I can't exert any force. The trap has sealed off my strength."
Finally, the crowd realized that something was not right, but it was too late. The ground within a few thousand meters had turned into a black swamp.
The swamp rumbled like black lava, dragging the crowd into it.
The swamp emitted a strange aura, causing the crowd to feel dizzy. Their strength was sealed off too, preventing them from escaping.
"AH ~" A scream of a woman could be heard all of a sudden.
"Something is biting me, there's something in the swamp!" Following this, many people began to scream in fear.
"Brother Xing Jue, let's leave this place at once."
Although Jiang Tian's body was enchanted with a spirit formation by the Punishment Execution, and he was unable to receive any harm, he became even more panicked when he saw the surrounding crowd panicking.
"Don't be afraid, that thing can't hurt you." Xing Jue wore a smile. He knew what was swimming in the swamp. It was a snake, a type of magical beast.
The snake was not strong, but when the crowd's strength was sealed off, its strength increased significantly. At least, when it opened its mouth to bite, the crowd would feel a numbing pain.
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~ save me!"
"Someone, save me ~"
Fear, the unknown was the most terrifying thing. Many people had no idea what was swimming around them, nor did they know if the thing that was biting them was poisonous.
Even though most of the people here were men, there were many women as well. Most of them wanted to save up for the assessment fees and participate in the Sacred Alliance's assessment.
However, women were women after all. No matter how high their cultivation level was, they could not change their nature. Amidst this inexplicable fear, many of the women began to cry bitterly. Some of the men even wailed loudly. All sorts of howls and howls lingered in the air.
"Hahaha, a bunch of trash. Do you think you can capture me? How naive! "
At this moment, a young girl's voice came from outside the array. Looking over, everyone was shocked.
It was a young girl with red hair and crimson eyes. Her face was filled with hideous scars, making her look like a monster. It was a terrifying sight.
However, other than her hideous face, the young girl was wearing a white dress. Her skin was as fair as jade. In terms of figure and skin, she could be considered a stunner.
"This isn't Sister Xue, and she doesn't have the body of an evil spirit. Why is she pretending to be Sister Xue?"
Xing Jue recognized at a glance that the person before him was not an evil spirit. Her face was disguised and this was not her true appearance.
"You bunch of trash, the consequence of trying to capture me is to be eaten alive by the Body Devouring Poisonous Snake. Enjoy the process slowly." The young girl's voice could be considered sweet, but in this kind of situation, her words made everyone tremble in fear.
"Heroine, Lord Body of an Evil Spirit, please spare us. We did not mean to harm you, we were just passing by …"
Hearing that they were about to be eaten alive by the Body Devouring Poisonous Snake, many people's cries grew louder.
They completely believed the young girl's words, but it was clearly a non-venomous and weak magical beast, a snake.
At this moment, the young girl's eyes swept across the crowd below. The corner of her mouth curled into a proud smile. She was satisfied with the crowd's reaction.
However, in her eyes, Xing Jue could see a trace of playfulness. This made Xing Jue suddenly think of an absurd fact.
And that was that the body of an evil spirit might not exist. Everything was just a prank that this young girl had teamed up with others to pull. Even though this was very absurd, it was indeed happening right before his eyes.
Because at this moment, the young girl finally could not hold back her nature. She actually started to throw stones at the trapped crowd, using their heads as targets.
"Aiyo, aiyo, little ancestor, stop hitting me. Ah, my teeth, my nose, my eyes, my handsome face, I …"
Everyone's powers were sealed and they had no way of dodging the young girl's attacks. Hence, the young girl hit them one by one. Whoever she didn't like, that person would be out of luck.
The stones rained down like a torrential rain, causing the crowd to whine incessantly. However, they did not dare to complain and could only beg for mercy.
But the more it was like this, the happier the young girl was. Her bell-like laughter echoed throughout the forest.
"Hey! Little girl, I heard that you're worth five thousand Level Five Immortal Herbs? "Just at this moment, Xing Jue suddenly spoke. He wanted to attract the young girl's attention.
"Hmph, I have the body of an evil spirit. In the future, when I grow up, I will be invincible. What are five thousand Level Five Immortal Herbs to me? Isn't that devaluing me a little too much? "
"However, anyone who wants to capture me, I will not let them have it easy. You have developed greedy thoughts towards me, so I must punish you properly."
Seeing that there was still someone who dared to provoke her at a time like this, the young girl was both surprised and secretly delighted. With a wave of her arm, a stone flew straight towards Xing Jue's face like an arrow leaving the bow.
Swoosh!
However, that stone, which was clearly very accurate, changed its trajectory a hundred meters away from Xing Jue and landed into the quagmire next to Xing Jue.
