Seeing this scene, a subtle sense of loss arose in my heart. As the "demon" that everyone was talking about, the mortals here had no fear when they saw me. However, when they saw Qing Ling act as though she was facing a great enemy, it made me lose a lot of face. Could it be that demons were not scarier than Daoists? "Or perhaps, in their eyes, I am simply a little demon that no one can stop me from bullying?
This discovery made me reflect. I think that when I came from the White World to the top of this mountain, I felt a strange sense of familiarity with the mountains and rivers. I also felt an inexplicable goodwill towards these mortals. Could it be that this Immortal has been too kind to mortal people in these past few days? Should I act like a 'monster'? Sure enough, the most useful way to conquer an ordinary mortal was to use candy and extra sticks. The effects of using grace and prestige were far greater than just a touch of gentleness.
Everyone was very afraid of Qing Ling, so they hid behind the firewood and used the flames as cover.
Qing Ling hurriedly rushed over with a sword of cold light in his hand. The sword was still stained with blood, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.
He asked me urgently, "Are you all right, white boy?"
At this moment, the smoke in my throat made me unable to speak. I forcefully snorted and grumbled at him, "Why did you come so late?"
Green Feathers was sweating profusely as he wiped away the sweat on his forehead. "I've been entangled by a demon, I've just finished my battle."
What kind of demon could trap Qing Ling? I was slightly surprised. However, this wasn't the time to listen to his description of the war between demons. I wriggled my body and said, "It's so hot up there. Come and save me!"
Qing Ling looked at the group of mortals with a intimidating gaze. I could feel that the mortals' bodies had clearly become shorter. Everyone, including Second Miss Xiao, trembled a little. Qing Ling then gracefully flew towards me. He unsheathed his sword and flew in the air, automatically setting up a foothold in the fire where he could save his life.
That's great, he had to be saved! I was overjoyed.
"Seriously, how could you be trapped by a mortal!" Qing Ling arrived by my side in the blink of an eye. He first set up a barrier, using it to isolate the heat and poison gas. Afterwards, he also stayed inside the barrier to help untie the ropes on my body.
The barrier was absolutely safe. At this moment, the vicious crowd of passersby could be ignored. After all, they were just ordinary mortals and couldn't possibly cause any damage to Qing Ling's barrier.
At this moment, I relaxed a lot and could not be bothered with them. I said to Qing Ling coquettishly, "I was just tricked! They got drunk on me... "
Qing Ling smiled slightly, "Drunk? Didn't you always boast that you were good at drinking? "
When his hand touched the rope that was tying me up, he said: "Immortal Binding Rope!"
The Immortal-Strangling Chains is a magic item that only cultivators who have achieved their own Dao can own. As for Second Miss Xiao, she is just an ordinary person, but she actually possesses an Immortal-Strangling Chains.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the bunch of mortals.
Those mortals were so audacious! They actually did so many small tricks behind our backs while Qing Ling and I were talking!
At some point in time, they had built many wine vats under the fire, and the amount of wine vats were so numerous that it left people tongue-tied! Moreover, judging from the arrangement of the vats, they appeared to be in disarray, but there were actually rules to be followed. It was as if a formation had been set up around a bonfire!
Qing Ling and I had only exchanged a few words. It was impossible for them to produce such a wine jar in such a short period of time. Furthermore, these wine vats had set up a strange array formation. Could it be that Miss Xiao and the others had set this up beforehand?
I was slightly alarmed and hastily tugged at the corner of Qing Ling's clothes. Qing Ling lowered her head to look and her eyebrows creased slightly.
"What kind of strange formation is this?" He was also at a loss. At this moment, he was still struggling against the Immortal-Bundling Chains that were binding me. He asked doubtfully, "This Immortal-Bundling Chains are really strange, why is it unable to be untied?"
My heart was filled with terror, but I had a feeling that the situation was not good. A thing like the Immortal Trapping Rope only works by relying on the incantation cast on it. In other words, only the caster's ability is higher than the person being tied up, otherwise, the Sage Binding Ropes would not be able to trap the person in front of it. And now that I am trapped, it means that that person's mana is higher than mine. Even Qing Ling is unable to release me, which also means that person's ability is even stronger than Qing Ling's! As far as I know, Qing Ling is already the most powerful Demon slayer within a hundred miles of this place. Among the cultivators that have been pestering him recently, there is no one whose magic is higher than his; but, who is this person with the Immortal-Strangling Chains? Why did he want to help Miss Xiao and the others? Is he an expert that the young mistress of the Xiao family invited? Or was he an enemy of Qing Ling or me?
When I thought of this, Qing Ling was already aware of it.
His expression became serious, and he held the sword in his hand. After that, he embraced me in his arms and slowly removed the barrier that was temporarily formed in the air. I know that he wants to observe the formation set up by the Xiao family's young ladies with wine vats more directly.
The moment the barrier was removed, thick smoke immediately billowed out from our surroundings. At the same time, the choking smoke mixed with a strong smell of alcohol assaulted our noses.
Qing Ling's nose twitched as she replied, "What a strange fragrance."
I smiled wryly and nodded. "I was just pushed down by this wine scent."
He gave me a puzzled look and then asked, "Can you see the array below? It's kind of weird, but I don't know what it is. "
Hearing his words, I sighed sorrowfully. Since Qing Ling couldn't see through the formation, it meant that he had no way to break through the formation.
I told him, "That's the Immortal Execution Array. This is the end of us. "
The Immortal Execution Formation, as its name implied, was a profound formation that could kill gods and immortals. This kind of formation was even more powerful than the Undulating Demon Array. Not only could it slay demons and devils, it could even slay immortals. The reason I recognized this formation was because I came from the Heaven Realm. During my 300 years of cultivation in the Yue Xi Palace, although I didn't achieve much in terms of magic due to my own talent, in order to live up to the expectations my master had of me, I also seriously studied magic books. I possess theoretical knowledge, so I recognize this Immortal Slaying Formation.
However, I have always been a very impatient person. I always learn things in general, so even though I recognize this kind of profound and meticulous formation, I only recognize it. I didn't learn the technique to break the formation.
At this moment, Qing Ling and I were unknowingly trapped within the Immortal Execution Array. We were too careless and thought that ordinary people wouldn't be able to do any substantial damage to us. However, we forgot that the more profound the formation, the simpler the theory is. Although this Immortal Execution Array was powerful, an ordinary person could use a magic tool to arrange it as long as they grasped the key points. However, Immortals could kill gods and gods when they encountered buddhas when they encountered a god or buddha; as for a normal person's array, its destructive power would be very small. Sometimes, they wouldn't even be able to kill a chicken.
However, looking at the raging flames in front of him right now, the power of this Immortal Execution Archipelago seemed to be no small matter. It seemed like there was an extraordinary expert guiding those two Miss Xiao from behind. Perhaps, he was hiding within those guards.
Qing Ling and I were trapped in the Immortal Execution Array. Qing Ling didn't understand it, so even though I could understand it, I couldn't do anything about it. Moreover, at this moment, I was still tightly tied up by the Immortal Trapping Rope. This Immortal Trapping Rope had been augmented with a powerful incantation that even Qing Ling was unable to undo.
