Elder Dong knew that Lin Long wanted to kill them, so he quickly begged for mercy. "Lin Long, we were wrong. Please let us go."
At this moment, he naturally regretted wanting to satisfy Dong Changyu at that time.
"It's too late now." With that, Lin Long attacked Elder Dong and Dong Changyu with his palm.
Although Lin Long's attack was ordinary, Elder Dong and Dong Changyu couldn't activate their demonic energy at all. How could they resist Lin Long's attack?
After two muffled sounds, both of them were dead.
Jingxuan, I hope you're okay. Lin Long thought to himself as he looked at the two people on the ground.
Next, Lin Long went to the place where Elder Dong and Dong Changyu said Jing Xuan had disappeared. However, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find Jing Xuan. He couldn't find any trace of her. It was as if she had disappeared.
However, Lin Long didn't give up. He couldn't find her in the surroundings, so he expanded his search area.
While Lin Long was looking for Jing Xuan, something happened to the disciples of the Demon Sect in the stronghold. Some disciples suddenly lost their souls for no reason.
At first, one or two people didn't attract much attention. After all, in a hidden secret realm like this, it wasn't an accident no matter how strange it was.
However, such things happened for a few days in a row, and more and more disciples lost their souls. This couldn't help but attract the attention of the people in the stronghold.
Elder Yan and Elder Du gathered all the elders together.
Elder Yan looked at everyone and said, "Recently, there have been seven or eight disciples who have this kind of situation. Does anyone know what's going on?"
He had naturally checked these disciples himself, but he couldn't figure out the reason at all.
At that moment, the elders all expressed their opinions, but none of them could tell the reason.
At this moment, an elder suddenly said, "Could it be that their souls were devoured by something?"
His words immediately caused everyone's eyes to light up. From their point of view, these words couldn't be any more appropriate.
"But, I've never heard of anything that can devour a person's soul?" Someone asked doubtfully.
"That's true, but that's the most plausible reason," Elder Yan said.
Then he said solemnly, "In the future, any team that leaves the stronghold must be accompanied by at least four elders who can use the Black Cloud Four Magic Formation."
"Mm, let's do that."
"That's the only way to ensure the safety of our people."
"If that's the case, we don't have to be afraid of Lin Li's sneak attacks."
"This is the only way to find the thing that devours souls."
The rest of the elders naturally agreed.
Just like that, every team that left the stronghold would be accompanied by four elders who could use the Black Cloud Four Magic Formation.
Actually, they did not want to leave the stronghold, but if they did not leave the stronghold and search outside, they might be trapped here forever.
Therefore, it was necessary to leave the stronghold and search outside.
Not long after, a team of twenty people left the stronghold. This team had five elders who could use the Black Cloud Four Magic Formation.
The five elders had followed the team this time not only to protect the safety of the demon sect disciples in the team, but also to find the culprit who devoured people's souls.
Therefore, these five elders were the most powerful people in the stronghold apart from Elder Yan and Elder Du.
They did not have a specific target in this team because the disciples whose souls were devoured previously did not meet with the same accident at the same place. This meant that the thing that devoured people's souls did not have a fixed location and direction.
If there was a fixed location and direction, Elder Yan and Elder Du could directly lead their people to encircle and annihilate it.
"Previously, Elder Yan said that it's just a single entity, but I'm worried that there are many such things that can devour people's souls," an elder said softly as they walked.
Now that they had just left the stronghold, there was not much danger. Therefore, the five elders did not spread out, but walked together.
"If that's the case, that thing is most likely not something we can deal with," another elder immediately said worriedly.
"Elder Yang, Elder Lu, how can you be so timid as elders? If this spreads to the ears of the disciples next to you, it will be terrible," an elder immediately chided in a low voice.
This elder's surname was Zhao, and he was the leader of their team.
Although his words made Elder Yang and Elder Lu shut up, he could tell from their expressions that they were still worried. It was not only these two elders, but the other two elders also felt the same.
Therefore, he immediately said, "Don't worry, no matter how many of those things there are, they won't be very strong. Otherwise, we would have already killed our way to the stronghold."
"That should be the case." Seeing that his words made sense, the other four immediately nodded.
However, although they agreed with this point of view, they were still worried. After all, the enemy was something they had never seen before.
Because of this, the few of them did not speak anymore and walked forward in silence.
When they were far enough away, Elder Zhao directly divided them into the front, back, left, and right of the team and closely observed the situation in the surroundings.
After walking for a while, they encountered a group of evil spirits. Although there were a few Level 3 commanders in this group of evil spirits, they were no match for Elder Zhao and Elder Zhao, and they were directly defeated by Elder Zhao and Elder Zhao.
After finishing off this group of evil spirits and walking for a while, Elder Zhao and Elder Zhao discovered that there were evil spirits rushing towards them.
After seeing these evil spirits clearly, Elder Zhao and Elder Zhao's expressions slightly changed. This was because there were more than ten Level 3 commanders among them.
However, they were only slightly surprised. After all, with so many elders around, these evil spirits were not a threat to them at all.
Immediately, the group of people started fighting fiercely with these evil spirits.
As time passed, Elder Zhao felt that something was wrong. This was because he realized that these evil spirits were actually fighting and retreating at the same time. They were not as single-minded as before.
"Everyone, quickly retreat!" Elder Zhao, who noticed that something was wrong, hurriedly shouted.
At this moment, they had already chased these evil spirits into a cave.
However, it was already too late. At the same time, there were actually two groups of evil spirits charging towards them from both sides.
After seeing these evil spirits, the faces of the people from the demonic sects immediately became unsightly.
Although there were not many Level 3 commanders among the two groups of evil spirits that just rushed over, there were so many of them that Elder Zhao and the others could not deal with them at all.
