Yi Qing's sword was merciless. It was as if the person standing opposite him was not a companion but an enemy. He hit where it hurt. Lonemoon, on the other hand, did not make a sound. He was like a senseless puppet. He did not know how to defend himself and only attacked Yi Qing with all his might.
In less than a moment, Lonemoon's body already had several wounds. But even though he was forced into a desperate situation, his eyes were still unfocused. Even his expression did not change. Until Yi Qing suddenly summoned his sword intent. A familiar huge golden sword appeared and slashed towards him.
Even the surrounding trees were smashed by the sword intent. The ground shook. The huge golden sword slashed towards Lonemoon. It looked like it was about to hit Lonemoon.
Only then did his eyes widen abruptly. His originally misty eyes instantly cleared up, and he shouted out reflexively, "F * ck!"
Hearing that, Yi Qing turned the sword in his hand, and the huge sword intent deviated, striking the mountain beside him with a loud bang, immediately cutting off a section of the mountain peak, and for a moment, rocks rolled down from the mountain.
Lonemoon felt a drop of cold sweat slide down his forehead. Thank goodness he woke up quickly. That sword was going to hit him, wasn't it? Was it going to cut him!
"Yi Qing! You … you're too f * cking cruel! "That sword would kill someone. It definitely would.
Yi Qing turned his head. The look of pity on his face disappeared. Then he walked over and said seriously, "If I didn't do that, I wouldn't have been able to wake you up!"
"Who are you lying to!" Lonemoon exploded. Don't think I don't know. Your expression just now was exactly the same as Shen Ying's. "You didn't f * cking take the opportunity to beat me up, did you?"
"You're thinking too much." Yi Qing's eyes shifted. He became even more serious as he changed the topic. "You're also a sword cultivator. Why did you fall into a mental demon for so long?" And he was being manipulated. If it had been any later, he probably would not have been able to get out. "What did you see?"
Lonemoon was stunned. His expression changed. He coughed and said, "Nothing. I just remembered some things from the past. " The scary thing about mental demons was that they made use of the human heart's weakness. They found the weakest part and weaved the best dream to make people addicted. So people who were possessed would not be willing to come out even if they knew it was their own mental demon. And he had just … returned to the modern world.
Yi Qing did not continue asking. He looked up at the sky and said, "The staircase has appeared again."
Lonemoon paused. Then he realized that the scenery around them had changed. It was as if something was breaking them apart and reforming them. In a short while, layers of stone steps appeared under their feet, leading to the sky.
The two of them looked at each other and flew up at the same time towards the staircase.
Sure enough, when they stepped on the last step, the scenery around them changed again. It became a wasteland with no end in sight. Even when they released their divine senses, they couldn't detect the boundary. It was as if a new space had suddenly appeared.
The two of them couldn't help but sigh at the wonders of the Immortal Ascension Pagoda. No wonder the Yu Family said that as long as one reached the top of the pagoda's third level, they could ascend and become immortals. But how could it be that easy to become an immortal? There were many checkpoints within the pagoda. To enter the pagoda, one had to overcome the trial of the inner demons. The first level was Dao Seeking, which tested a cultivator's dao heart. The later levels would only be more dangerous.
From the looks of it, ascending the tower was no easier than ascension tribulation lightning. The place they were currently at should be the second floor.
In a short while, the light from before appeared again. Compared to when Lonemoon first appeared, there were more than ten of them this time. But for some reason, that voice didn't appear again.
The light slowly dissipated and more than ten figures appeared in front of them. When they saw the three figures in the middle, the two of them were shocked.
"Family Head Yin, Family Head Yi, and Family Head Xuan Yuan!" Lonemoon scanned the group of people in surprise. Indeed, they were all Traveling Immortals. "Aren't … aren't they the ones who entered the pagoda first? How could they … "
Were they the same as him? Had they lost their minds and been controlled? What exactly was this Immortal Ascension Pagoda?
"I'll take the left, you take the right!" Yi Qing didn't say much. He gripped his sword tightly and charged forward. They could only fight now. Lonemoon also charged forward.
In an instant, the sky was filled with spells. Although Yi Qing and Lonemoon were sword cultivators and had no problem dealing with one or two Traveling Immortals, they couldn't fight against so many opponents. When the three aristocratic families first entered the pagoda, other than the Xuan Yuan Family, which had a few Traveling Immortals who had not recovered from their injuries, the other two families had brought almost all the Traveling Immortals in their families.
In total, besides the family heads, there were eight Traveling Immortals. He and Yi Qing had to fight four people each. Just the thought of it was taxing. What's more, he had just suffered some injuries. Although they weren't serious, they still affected him.
But at this moment, they couldn't find the exit. The only way was to fight and wake these people up.
But after a while, he realized that these people were in a different situation from him. Their eyes were lifeless. Not to mention their consciousness, even their primordial spirits seemed to be …
Lonemoon's eyes widened. He immediately reacted and shouted to the people beside him, "Yi Qing, most of them have already been completely demonized. We can't wake them up."
He gritted his teeth. Traveling Immortals were people who had failed to ascend to immortality. Their mental demons would only be stronger than others. How could they come out so easily?
Yi Qing's expression darkened. He instantly realized this. He scanned all the people who were being controlled. As he blocked their attacks, he said in a low voice, "Focus. Wake the three family heads first!"
Lonemoon nodded. He dodged the Traveling Immortals beside him and turned to focus on Yin Feng.
This battle lasted for more than twenty hours. Lonemoon had used up almost all the spiritual energy in his body. In the end, he swung his sword, carrying a fierce killing intent, directly at Yin Feng. Just as it was about to hit Yin Feng's vital point, Yin Feng's expression changed. His eyes filled with terror. He hurriedly retracted his sword intent, but the wind from the sword still brushed Yin Feng's right hand, causing blood to spurt out like a fountain.
"This … this is …" Yin Feng's fear had not faded. There was also a hint of confusion. "Supremacy Lonemoon?"
Before Lonemoon could explain, Yi Qing had already flown over, carrying the other two family heads who were awake. Compared to Yin Feng, the other two were more seriously injured. It was clear that he had not held back just now.
Yi Qing turned to face the pursuing Traveling Immortals and swung his sword. Instantly, the sky was filled with Sword Qi. "They're awake. Let's go!" He said in a low voice. Then, he turned and flew into the distance.
Lonemoon did not hesitate. He picked up the injured Yin Feng and chased after him.
They needed time to recover.

At this time, 50 kilometers away.
A certain someone looked at the completely unfamiliar scenery around her. Then, she suddenly remembered an important question.
Where … is Hua Yuan City?
If she had known, she would have brought Radish with her. But they had already walked for half a day. Should she go back first?
She was just about to turn back when she paused.
Go back … which way should she go?
It was so troublesome to go out.
