Xiao Chen thought that the voice seemed familiar. He took a step and rushed forward. When he got close, he saw two people. One of them was wearing a purple and white robe. His black hair had a streak of purple in the middle. On his waist, a purplish gold gourd hung. His pupils were as red as fire. It was Yi Tong.
Next to him, the other person wore a pristine white robe. A handcrafted feather fan was held in his hand. It was as though he had powdered his face. He looked more beautiful than a woman. It was None-flower Dust.
A wave of people stood fifty feet opposite them. It was the dozen people who were separated from Xiao Chen just now. The moment they saw Xiao Chen’s return, Yu Yifeng shouted out first, “Junior Brother Xiao!”
Yi Tong also turned his head and chuckled, “Brother Xiao.”
Xiao Chen realized that the two parties were in a confrontation and that a fight was about to break out. He said hurriedly, “Hey Brother Yi, Brother Non-flower.” Then he looked at Yu Yifeng and said, “Brother Yifeng, is there any misunderstanding?”
Ling Fei sneered. “Misunderstanding? Ha! It is not a misunderstanding!”
Xiao Chen noticed that two were missing from the original dozens of people, and asked, “Where are Qi Feng and Zhong Buhui?”
Su Zimu shook his Mystic Heaven Fan and said faintly, “That will have to ask your two good brothers.”
Xiao Chen looked at Yi Tong and Non-flower Dust and thought that it ought to be a huge misunderstanding. Then he saw more than half of the dozen people had traces of injury. He asked, “What is going on?”
Wan Yanyan said coldly, “We have been attacked by evil creatures these few days. Yesterday, we had to pass through a cave and when we looked back, Qi Feng and Zhong Buhui were gone. We headed back to look for them only to find their bodies and these two demon people!”
Xiao Chen’s body shook slightly. These people all had big family backgrounds. He thought, “How am I going to explain this when we go back?” Looking at Yi Tong, he said, “Brother Yi, is what he said true…”
“Why? Does Brother Xiao also think we killed them?”
Before Xiao Chen could reply, Yu Yifeng said, “Junior Brother Xiao, come back! We are of the Immortal’s Practice. How can we mix around with these demons of Evil’s Practice!”
Since young, Yu Yifeng was taught by Qing Chen Perfected Immortal. He had always drawn a clear line between good and evil. Just like the Xiao Chen when he was still in the Mystic Cyan Sect.
Xiao Chen looked at him and said, “Brother Yifeng, why you too… Listen to me, there must be a misunderstanding in this. Brother Yi and Brother None-flower will never…”
Before he finished speaking, Ling Fei laughed. An insidious look came into his eyes as he said, “Xiao Chen, you’re our leader for this trip. But now you’re speaking up for these two demons, how fantastic!”
“Tsk tsk, a demon here and a demon there. Kiddo, are you not afraid to bite your tongue?” with a faint smile, said None-flower Dust, while fanning himself with his handcrafted feather fan.
“Junior Brother Xiao, get over here! What are you thinking!” Yu Yifeng suddenly raised his voice.
“I…” Xiao Chen knew the situation would be hard to resolve at the moment. He could only deal with it later. As he was about to move, Yi Tong said, “Brother Xiao, we are leaving. Are you planning to join us, or are you going with them?”
Xiao Chen stopped. He was now in a dilemma. It was either Brother Yifeng or Brother Yi. He turned around and said, “Brother Yi, listen to me…”
“Haha!” He looked up and laughed. “I understand. We will leave.” Then he looked at None-flower Dust who was beside him and said, “Let’s go, Brother None-flower. We demons are not worthy to be acquainted with people of the Immortal’s Practice.”
Xiao Chen’s body shook, as though he was struck by lightning. He reached out his hand and said, “Brother Yi, that’s not what I meant…” Qingluan suddenly moved and stopped him. She shook her head and motioned him to stop talking.
On the other side, Ling Fei gave a deadly glare and suddenly attacked the back of the two men with his palm and shouted, “The demons of Devil’s Practice, you think you can come and go as you will!”
This attack was so fierce that it sent the deadwood nearby flying all over the place. None-flower Dust gently waved his fan, and Ling Fei was struck with an immense force that flipped him back.
“You want to stop me? Kiddo, I advise that you go back and practice for hundreds of years more, hahaha…” laughing, the two figures gradually disappeared.
Wan Yanyan sneered. “Xiao Chen, you are acquainted with the demons…”
“Shut up!” Xiao Chen suddenly threw him a cold glare. The power of Nascent Soul Realm was no joking matter. Even if it was only a non-lethal glare, Wan Yanyan was pushed a few steps back. He did not dare to say more.
The cold wind blew, and the long hair on the Xiao Chen’s shoulder swayed along. Ling Fei looked at him and asked coldly, “Where have you been in these few days?” “Could it be…” As he spoke, he noticed the boy in red who came back with him.
The teen had been watching since just now in silence with his hands held behind his back. Ling Fei looked at him and said coldly, “Who are you?”
The young man said nothing. He continued to stand with his head held high and his chest out with his hands held behind. Ling Fei once again bellowed, “I am asking you! Say! Who are you!”
This place was filled with a strange air, and it could not be resonated. Even if it was just an ordinary boy who appeared suddenly could stress people.
Ling Fei saw that he did not answer, and he could see contempt in his eyes. He condensed a Qi on his finger and an Immortal’s Sword flew between the boy’s eyebrows. The sword went at speed. As blood was about to splatter three feet high, Liu Feiyan covered her mouth and yelled, “Ah!”
At this moment, with a clink, the flying sword stopped within an inch right in front of the teen’s glabella. It was Xiao Chen who seized it in midair with psychokinesis. Xiao Chen’s face looked as if it had been covered with a layer of frost, which was so gloomy. He said, “It is enough… He is a mute.”
Looking at the boy again, even when the flying sword was only an inch away from his glabella, he did not break a sweat. He remained the same pose, without even blinking his eye. If it was other ordinary kids, they would have already been scared and start to wail.
“Junior Sister Qingyu!” At this moment, a scream was heard and a dozen people spread out quickly.
Qingyu’s face was extremely pale and faint strings of black Qi could be seen. Xiao Chen walked over hastily and pressed on her wrist. He frowned and asked, “When was she invaded by the evil consciousness?”
Zhou Li’s eyes were slightly red. He choked and said, “Two, two nights ago…”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows tangled in a frown. He lifted Qingyu’s sleeve. Her arm was covered with black scales. Qingyu let out a screamed and drew back her arm. Her tears fell like raindrops as she cried, “Don’t look… don’t look…”
But everyone saw it crystal clear that this was a sign of demonization. Except for Yu Yifeng and Xu Gu, the rest of the people had moved far away from her.
Xiao Chen frowned deeply. The Devil Qi of this place was extraordinary. The last time Ye Mulian only had her Samadhi invaded by the evil consciousness, so she was able to be recovered with medication. However, Qingyu might not only have her Samadhi invaded by the evil consciousness. Her internal organs, her three souls and seven senses were also invaded. She was bound to be demonized within three days, and even deities could not save her.
He looked at Xiaoyue and asked, “How many Carnage Destruction Pills do you still have?”
Xiaoyue kept quiet. Beside her, Wan Yanyan yelled, “What do you want to do? We can’t get out of this bloody place no matter what. We can’t fly on our swords and the Carnage Destruction Pill is our only life-saving pill. She’s already being invaded by evil consciousness. She can’t be saved! Why bother?”
“Give me my share.” Xiao Chen did not want to say more at the moment.
Xiaoyue immediately took out three pills and flicked them towards him. Xiao Chen caught the pills, as he was about to feed them to Qingyu, she tilted her head and whispered, “Don’t, don’t waste it. I can’t be…”
“Take the medicine first, I will find another way,” Xiao Chen said as he handed the pills to Zhou Li. In his impression, Qingyu had always been a lively girl, she had dimples when she smiled and she always loved to hang around Brother Yifeng. But now, he felt so helpless.
Zhou Li persuaded Qingyu for a long time before she finally took the medicine. Yu Yifeng sighed. “Let’s go. Let’s see if we can find the way out before dark.”
“Hold on!” Ling Fei suddenly shouted and then pointed at Qingyu. “She’s already demonizing. For our safety, she can no longer follow us.”
The rest of the people remained in silence. After what had happened in the past few days, they were no longer as arrogant as they were when they first arrived. Wan Yanyan summoned out his flying sword and said coldly, “If she suddenly demonizes in the night, won’t we die? What’s more, this evil consciousness is contagious. For the sake of our safety, we can only…” As he spoke, his eyes beamed with murderous intent.
Zhou Li moved and blocked in front of his Immortal’s Sword. He said coldly, “Although my cultivation is not as high as yours if you dare to hurt her at all, I will fight to the death with you even with the deliverance by weapons of myself!”
“Amitabha…” Xu Gu prayed a mantra and said, “Please don’t have conflicts within yourselves again. I suggest that we should find a safe place to stay overnight before dark.”
During the past few days, they had come to experience how terrible the nigh time of Abyss of Devil’s Aura could be. Xiao Chen turned and looked at the boy in red behind him and said, “This place is dangerous, little brother, why don’t you come with us?”
