It's the Demonic Dwellers! "
They did not care about the demonic creatures at the bottom of the Demonic World.
However, they grieved for the corpses that were gnawed on. They wondered if they would be treated the same way if they died in battle.
Liumu Bingjian's heart moved. Ice lotuses bloomed on every Demonic Dweller's body. Dark red blood shot out and froze into ice. Then, they shattered into powder even faster, leaving no trace.
She felt warmth when the True Qi of the ice lotuses moved.
The thick coat on her seemed unnecessary, but she clung to the warmth in her heart and did not want to take it off.
"Before the Demonic Dwellers gained intelligence, most of them were humans who were captured and enslaved. They were forced to consume the Evil God Sect's Heavenly Evil Powder. Their minds were lost, and their blood solidified. Unlike the slow-flowing Demonic Blood, if there was no fresh blood, they would eventually petrify. That's why they instinctively kill all living things and suck their blood to survive. They are a disaster in places with many people. It's not an exaggeration to call them killing machines. Because the Demonic Dwellers have solidified blood, their skin is hard. Normal artifacts can't deal with them, and they are a great threat to itinerant cultivators. "
She knew that time was tight, and that Yan Li was unfamiliar with the Demonic World. She explained in detail, "Most of the Demonic Race hate humans. There are many cultivators who were captured. They are not a threat individually, but in groups, they are the Demonic World's best weapons. Brother Yan, if you encounter a large group of Demonic Dwellers, remember not to fight them head-on."
"I will." Yan Li nodded.
Liumu Bingjian did not know if he would fight them head-on or listen to her. She smiled and said, "In a large group, there will be a commander. It's a kind of demonic creature that fused a soul shadow with a Demonic Dweller. It's called a Mourning Ghost. It's ten times the size of a normal Demonic Dweller. Even a Top Jar Realm cultivator would not be its match."
"It's fine if it's a powerful Demonic Race, but why would the Demonic Dwellers invade the canyon?" Yan Li asked. "Aren't there three guards at the canyon entrance?"
Xue Tianya continued, "Before the battle, they were at the foot of the snow mountain. They used some tools to transport the Demonic Dwellers. Our people patrolled every day and destroyed a few similar devices. However, these Demonic Dwellers usually can't survive for long in this climate. Their purpose is only to scout for the Demonic Race. "
"The one who died is a disciple of the Mystic God Sect." Qiu Xiangrong said, "I've never seen them before. They should be newcomers. It's a pity that such strong men died so miserably." Her words were quite ambiguous.
Everyone was somewhat displeased. Even at this time, she was still in the mood to "joke." The one who went missing was a disciple of the Lotus Seat, and it was as though it had nothing to do with her Autumn Moon Palace.
Qiu Xiangrong seemed to understand everyone's view of her, so she blinked and said, "Life is short, so we should enjoy ourselves. Saving people is one thing, but I don't like to talk with a straight face. If you don't like it, just cover your ears." After that, she walked forward.
"To prevent the Demon Dwellers from destroying the corpses again, bury them." Xue Tianya looked at the corpses with pity and dug a deep pit with his hand. Everyone worked together to drag the corpses into the pit and then filled it with snow again.
"Young men, move fast. Little girls like men who talk slowly but move fast. If you perform well, I will personally pick the flowers of the Autumn Moon Palace and give them to you." Qiu Xiangrong's voice came through the curtain of snow.
"Ugh …" Ye Xiaolang secretly stuck out his tongue, "You, Qiu Xiangrong, I think all your disciples are the same. I'd better stay away from you. Otherwise, I don't know when you'll wear a green hat …"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Qiu Xiangrong had spoken their minds.
Fortunately, the weather was really bad, and Qiu Xiangrong didn't care too much about these people's lives, so she didn't hear Ye Xiaolang's murmur. Otherwise, they would have made a fuss.
Liumu Bingjian knew this well. After laughing for a while, he said to Ye Xiaolang, "Brother Xiaolang, it's better not to go too far."
"I understand." Ye Xiaolang shrugged.
The team continued to move forward.
At dawn, it was still snowing heavily. Walking on the edge of the cliff, they could see the color of the valley bottom, which showed how thick the snow was.
"We're almost out of the valley. Why haven't we met a disciple of the search team?" Wei Shu said with a frown.
The disciple guide said, "Senior Brother Han is anxious, so he transferred people from the Second and Third Garrison. Yesterday afternoon, they searched the entire valley, and now they are pushing into the Phantom Night Forest. I'm afraid the disciples of the Lotus Seat have been forced to escape into the forest."
Duan Yihong thought of something and said, "Is it possible that the Demon Tribe did it on purpose to lure us to rescue them so that they can continue to set up ambushes? After all, the Phantom Night Forest is their territory."
"I won't." Xiao Qi said with certainty. He blew his nose and wiped it with a handkerchief. His young face was full of confidence.
"Oh?" Duan Yihong looked a little disgusted and was not convinced. "Brother Xiao, how did you come to this conclusion?"
Xiao Qi glanced at him with a smile and said, "Brother Duan is so confused. How can the Demon Tribe know the existence of our team, unless we have accomplices of the Demon Tribe. Do we have accomplices of the Demon Tribe? As far as I can see, there shouldn't be. "
"As far as I can see …" Duan Yihong was speechless.
"Ahem, ahem, I'm wrong. It's observation, observation …" Xiao Qi awkwardly tried to cover up his embarrassment. Suddenly, he found that the handkerchief was cold, and then he remembered that there was snot on it. Now it had frozen into ice, sparkling like diamonds. He looked at it for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "Oh no!"
"What's wrong?"
Everyone stopped and looked at him.
Qiu Xiangrong glanced at him and found that his skin was soft and tender. She put on a smile and said, "Boy, don't just say one sentence."
"Why did snot freeze into ice?" Xiao Qi asked.
Baili Qingkong was afraid that he was confused by the cold, so he pinched his cheek and said, "There is water in snot. It's so cold here, even if you pee, it will naturally freeze, let alone your snot."
Xiao Qi frowned in pain, but he didn't care, because when he was very focused on one thing, even if his arm was cut off, he couldn't divert his attention. "Senior Fellow Apprentice, you're wrong. The snot froze because it doesn't want others to know that it's snot," he said seriously.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then directly scolded, "Idiot! If snot had its own will, your nose would have long been gone!"
Only Yan Li and Baili Qingkong, who knew Xiao Qi well, didn't speak, but fell into deep thought.
Of course, this had nothing to do with snot. Yan Li knew that Xiao Qi wanted to say that the Devil Tribe used the smoke of the ambush to disperse the nine disciples, and took the opportunity to break through the Red Stone Canyon to Red Rock City.
Baili Qingkong quickly understood and said, "If the Devil Tribe chose to sneak in, unless the masters of White Emperor City, including the Devil Monarch, gather together, how could they break through the Red Rock Fortress guarded by father?"
Xiao Qi said with certainty, "If the disciples of the Lotus Seat have been found at this moment, and they are unharmed, it proves that my inference is valid."
This move of the fiend race's made people scratch their heads in confusion.
"Let's go to the Phantom Night Forest." Qiu Xiangrong made a prompt decision.
They received the news from the Third Guard Office that the disciples of the Lotus Seat were trapped in the Nightmare Swamp of the Phantom Night Forest.
"Don't worry, Emperor Han has led people to open the passage, and those disciples are all fine." The Third Guard Office was also a fortress, but it was not very large. The person in charge was an elder of the Xuan Shen Sect. He said this to Yan Li, and then asked for warm wine and a simple banquet.
Hearing this, Qiu Xiangrong naturally didn't want to work anymore, and she seemed to like this elder a little, so she very much agreed to have a banquet. Now she could barely be regarded as a leader, so the others had to follow her.
After a few cups of wine, the banquet became lively, but Su Xingyu didn't move at all. He just stared at the elder and said, "Where is my master's body?"
"Doctor Su, please restrain your grief." The elder sighed and asked someone to take Su Xingyu to see the body.
Yan Li didn't sit for a long time, so he found an excuse to leave. Because the nine disciples who were rescued were all in the fortress, he soon found out where Shen Liuyun was and went to find her.
Shen Liuyun was healing in the bedroom. Hearing the urgent knock on the door accompanied by a familiar voice, her beautiful eyes flashed as if there was a burning light in the night, and she shouted, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and the biting cold wind rushed in together with the concern of a warm stove.
"Aunt, how are you? Are you hurt? " Yan Li walked a few steps before he realized that he had to close the door, so he quickly turned back and closed the door, blocking the cold wind outside, and then walked back to the bed.
"Why are you here?" Shen Liuyun said with a little surprise, "Are you alone?"
"No, I have many people. Aunt, how are your injuries? Let me see. " Yan Li had already seen from Shen Liuyun's face that she was hurt, so he sat down and held her hand without saying anything. Being sick for a long time made one a doctor, so taking a pulse was not difficult for him.
Feeling that the pulse was not messy, and could be considered clear, his tense state of mind relaxed a little. "What exactly happened? Where's Zhi Kun, how are the other disciples of Lotus Constellation? I heard that they have been found, where are they? "
"Your questions are like a barrage, which one should I answer?" Shen Liuyun found it funny, "We were ambushed by the Demon Clan on the way, they were all fierce and not easy to deal with, Elder Tai Weng died in battle to protect us … …" At this point, her tone started to fluctuate, and her eyes dimmed, "You ask me what happened, how would I know? Where did those Demon Clan come from, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to investigate."
"How do we get to Nightmare Swamp?" Yan Li asked.
Shen Liuyun smiled faintly and said, "On the way here, Zhi Luan told me everything. What's going on between you and Gu Caiwei of the Lotus Seat, huh?" She stretched out her hand and twisted Yan Li's ear.
"That, that's it … …" The corners of Yan Li's mouth curled up, and he smiled foolishly.
"How dare you hide it from me, hmph, if you dare to let Zhi Kun down, I will throw you into the Medicine King Tripod and refine you into dregs!" Shen Liuyun was very angry at first, but then she became happy, "But, Gu Caiwei is also not bad, the daughter of a famous family, and the first seat of Lotus Constellation, it is not considered a disgrace to the Bai family."
If she had said so, no matter how thick-skinned Yan Li was, he would be too embarrassed to go along with her. But now that he finally knew that the Bai family was a bloodline passed down by Bai Kongxue, he was naturally honored, and felt very at ease.
Suddenly, there was a "boom" in his mind, as if a bolt of lightning had struck inside, causing his expression to change again and again. "Aunt, what did you just say?"
"I said it is not considered a disgrace to the Bai family," Shen Liuyun said.
Yan Li said, "No, before that, you said that if I let Zhi Kun down …"
"I will throw you into the Medicine King Tripod and refine you into dregs," Shen Liuyun's bright eyes flashed a trace of brilliance, and she said with faint pride, "It only took me three months to obtain the right to use the Medicine King Tripod."
"Even, Purgatory, Purgatory Formation …"
