"You'll stay here later. Warn your six companions not to wander off. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you if anything happens," Lin Jin instructed.
Although Qing Zhu did not know the name of the handsome young man in front of him, there was something convincing about what he said.
And so, she nodded.
Qing Zhu didn't ask anything else. She could clearly see that the thing that looked like a fire fox next to this gentleman, as well as the white ape and even the coffin, all belonged to this gentleman.
Yet, she didn't know that her earlier actions were extremely strange to Mr. Li and the others.
Due to Camouflage, they couldn't even hear Lin Jin's words. All they saw was Qingzhu talking to the air. One could only imagine how frightening this scene was on such a strange night.
"Say, do you guys think Qingzhu is possessed?" One of them couldn't help but voice his thoughts.
No one said a word.
Mr. Li then whispered, "Strange things are happening all over the place tonight. Anyway, be careful. If anything goes wrong, we'll split up and run. Remember, as many as we can escape, we'll survive."
Just then, there was a commotion outside. Then, several people ran back in a flustered manner.
Mr. Li and the others took a few steps back in fright.
They were the two groups of villains from earlier.
However, the number of people wasn't right.
Although the two men with the bears had returned, one of them looked pale while the other was covered in blood. His arms were limp, clearly suffering from severe injuries.
Only two of the Four Devils of Mount Kui had returned. They were only lightly injured but it was obvious that they were terrified. As for their pet beasts, neither of the North Ridge Duo's bears had returned. Only one of the Four Devils of Mount Kui's pet beasts managed to escape. However, this tiger beast had lost all of its might. It was only a Rank 2 tiger beast, so no one knew what could have scared it to this extent.
The four men who returned also looked terrified, a stark contrast from their earlier ferocious demeanor. Right now, they were even weaker than Mr. Li and the others.
At that moment, the North Ridge Mighty Duo and the remaining two villains could no longer care about anything else. They looked outside the courtyard with faces full of fear.
"Who would've thought that we, the North Ridge Duo, would fall here today."
"That fiendish demon is so strong. I'm afraid none of us here will survive today!"
The chilly wind outside had also disappeared without a trace.
In the desolate house, the tense atmosphere became more and more intense. Finally, under everyone's gazes, a woman walked in. However, some people noticed that under the moonlight, this woman's shadow was like a ferocious tiger.
The woman was dressed in bright red clothes and was incomparably beautiful. She was barefooted, but there was no dirt on her as she walked in.
But it was this woman who caused those Corrupt experts to retreat in fear. One of them didn't pay attention to his feet and tripped over a rock, falling to the ground.
Cried Mister Li. He removed the jade pendant from his chest, which glowed with a red light.
"It's scalding me! It's scalding me!"
Mr. Li said. At this moment, he grabbed the rope and stared at the woman. He said loudly, "She's a demon. She's here to eat people. Everyone, run for your lives."
This was the plan they had discussed earlier.
And so they did. They planned to scatter and flee. Some even wanted to climb over the walls.
However, the woman in red chuckled. With a sweep of her sleeve, a strong gust of wind swept them back.
They were dumbfounded. If they couldn't escape, wouldn't death be their only option?
Suddenly, the woman in red noticed Lin Jin in the yard. She was dumbstruck.
Up until now, Lin Jin's Camouflage was still in effect. Mortals wouldn't be able to see him, Xiao Huo, White Ape, and the others. Even the coffin was concealed by the silver needles imbued with spiritual energy.
However, the woman in red could see everything clearly.
She first looked at White Ape and the coffin before shifting her gaze to Xiao Huo.
Her eyes glowed as she mumbled to herself, "Dharma body. It's a Dharma body."
Then, he turned to Lin Jin, only to see Lin Jin sitting there. His clothes were clean and tidy, and he had a calm demeanor. There was a cloud of mist lingering around him, rolling and changing as he breathed. It was a mystical sight.
Although this person seemed ordinary, the woman in red could vaguely sense an aura of authority from him. Although it was well-hidden, with her high cultivation level, she could still sense it.
If she tried to probe further, she would feel shaken and immediately retracted her aura.
The woman in red was a tiger demon with a high cultivation level. She had gained human form a hundred years ago and even cultivated demonic energy, allowing her to roam the world.
This time, she had something to do, which was why she had come from a faraway province. However, when she saw that the place she was going to, there were already people there. Furthermore, those people spoke rudely to her, which was why she was so displeased. Thus, she killed a few people who didn't have eyes.
At her current cultivation level, she no longer needed to consume flesh to refine her blood essence and condense her demonic energy. But if she was in a bad mood, eating humans was a piece of cake for her.
However, she didn't expect there to be an expert in this mansion. This was something she didn't expect.
Putting that smokescreen aside, the little wolf beast's Dharma body alone was enough to stun her.
She had long reached a bottleneck in her current illusory realm where spirit energy was thin. An expert once advised her that if she wanted to improve further, she had to cultivate a Dharma body.
This was her only path.
However, the expert who advised her didn't know how to condense a Dharma body himself. Hence, she had been traveling the world in search of opportunities all these years. Unfortunately, she didn't make any progress. In the first few decades, she still had a glimmer of hope. But as time went by, that hope slowly faded and she was completely disappointed.
Hence, when she saw a pet beast with a Dharma body, she was stunned.
As she had studied Dharma bodies before, the tiger demon could tell that the fire wolf had a Dharma body. There was no doubt about it.
Did the fire wolf cultivate a Dharma body on its own?
Impossible.
The fire wolf's rank was so low and it wasn't a monster either. It was a pet beast that had formed a blood contract with someone. It couldn't have cultivated a Dharma body on its own.
If that was the case, then its owner must be skilled.
The tiger demon turned to Lin Jin again.
The people in the yard had thought that they would die for sure. Next, they would most likely be devoured by this terrifying demon. They were all terrified and in despair. But what surprised them was that when this demon came in, other than the wind that swept back a few people in a panic, it actually stood at the door, as if it was in a daze.
No one dared to speak. Silence reigned.
The villains had witnessed this demon's terror before. They knew that their lives were in the hands of this demon so they didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
However, there was no one in the demon's line of sight. Yet, she seemed to be able to see something. It was unbelievable.
