Chapter 198: Nighttime escort

Lu Xinmei congratulated her with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Fellow Daoist Ye's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds! It's no worse than monks with excellent spiritual qualifications. It's really impressive."

Lu Xuezhu was also very surprised that Ye Ling had reached the perfection stage of Qi training, but what made her more concerned was the bloody evil energy emanating from Ye Lingzhou's body. Now that the light curtain of the formation was removed, she felt even more deeply that Ye Lingzhou Ling's body has an evil aura that forces people to do so!

Ye Ling was a little surprised when he suddenly saw the girls, but there was no emotion or anger on his face, and he still looked calm and natural.

For him, nothing in the outside world is worth mentioning now.

Because there have been subtle changes in the Immortal Mansion Zhaixingya Cliff that Ye Ling cares about most!

It turned out that, bathed in the star crystal, Ye Ling advanced as scheduled and reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi training that he had been looking forward to day and night. But after that, the three star crystals floating in the sky above the Star Picking Cliff fell like meteors, penetrated into the cloud and mist restrictions of the Immortal Mansion, and disappeared!

This made Ye Ling feel a little disappointed, but he could clearly see that the cloud and fog restrictions around the Star-Zhailing Cliff were faintly showing signs of dissipating, and several more steps of the stone steps leading to the Star-Zhailing Cliff were 'revealed'.

It is the doubts caused by this change that have been lingering in Ye Ling's mind, making him puzzled. He can only attribute it to the mystery of the Immortal Mansion, which is far more than the Star-Zhailing Cliff he saw!

While Ye Ling was deep in thought, Lu Xuezhu finally couldn't help it and asked, "Fellow Daoist Ye! Looking at the evil energy on your body, you must have killed a lot of monsters, right? Could it be that you alone are responsible for so many monster corpses in Sunset Jungle?" for?"

Ye Ling calmed down and smiled noncommittally. He neither admitted nor denied. Instead, he cupped his fists at the women and said calmly: "Please help me protect the law. Haha, you came to Sunset Jungle to practice. "?"

Seeing that he never mentioned anything about advancing his cultivation or hunting down many monsters, the girls all felt helpless towards Ye Ling and could only nod in agreement.

Bai Qiu smiled bitterly and said: "It's a pity that there aren't many monsters in the Sunset Jungle. We all have discussed turning back. We have to go back before the qi training disciple competition in Fengqiao Town four days later. Who would have thought that Miss Lu would find you in retreat here?" We have been practicing until now, and it is getting dark. Now we can only put down the formation flags and camp out. "

Ye Ling calculated the time and distance. He returned to Maple Bridge Town from the Sunset Jungle, which was more than two thousand miles away. There were jungles, wilderness and other places where monsters were rampant. If he fought all the way back, he could gain more combat experience. It was better than flying with a monster dragon. Go back and be strong.

Therefore, Ye Ling waved his hand and said calmly: "Why set up camp! We are rushing back overnight. With your strength, are you still afraid of the monsters along the way?"

Lu Xinmei said worriedly: "The monsters at night like to come out in groups. Once you are attacked by a group of beasts, it will be too late!"

The other 'female' cultivators did not have the courage, and were somewhat hesitant.

"It doesn't matter, I'm here! I'll open the way for you."

Ye Ling took out the Shura Blood Blade, waved to everyone, and walked into the dark dense forest.

The girls looked at each other and had no choice but to follow closely. It wasn't that they didn't believe in Ye Ling's strength, but it was really a night walk in the jungle. It was too risky. They couldn't help but make their hearts tremble. They silently prayed to the sky to never encounter a powerful beast. group.

Lu Xuezhu looked at the back of Ye Ling who was leading the way, with a complicated look in her eyes. She could not guess more and more what kind of person Ye Ling was. Most of the time, Ye Ling acted in a low-key manner, and was in trouble. He is inconspicuous in a crowd, but sometimes, he becomes extremely eye-catching!

How did she know that now, Ye Ling could no longer keep a low profile even if he wanted to, because no matter who he was, he would see the bloody aura emanating from him. This kind of evil spirit cannot be washed away or covered up. It will only dissipate naturally after a long time.

Everyone walked westward in the dark night, occasionally hearing the calls of mandrills and night birds, which could be heard far away in the quiet jungle.

Suddenly, a large group of green will-o'-the-wisps floated through the forest, following everyone around them like a shadow. Immediately afterwards, more and more will-o'-wisps appeared, fluttering in the forest, frightening the faces of all the women.

Ye Ling had been practicing hunting monsters in the Sunset Jungle for nearly twenty days, and was already used to seeing these green will-o'-the-wisps. Especially after he hunted a large number of monsters, the corpses of monsters were always killed and buried. These will-o'-the-wisps flocked to the corpses of monsters and would always stay on the corpses to absorb the rotten air and death energy.

"Don't pay attention to the will-o'-the-wisps, they are not coming for us."

Ye Ling comforted them, telling the girls not to panic and just walk.

Among the female cultivators of the Fengchi Sect, Qiaoyu, who usually likes to chirp the most, was as silent as a cicada at the moment. Even her legs and stomach were trembling. She closed her eyes and waited for the will-o'-the-wisps to float by.

Fang Liu followed her, feeling uneasy. Seeing that the will-o'-the-wisp in a radius of five or six feet in front of her refused to move away, she said in a trembling voice: "Sister Qiao, Qiao Yu, this will-o'-the-wisp seems to be following you!"

Qiao Yu Lingling shuddered and suddenly opened her eyes to see that the green shadow was floating almost on her face.

"Ah!" With a sharp scream, Qiaoyu was so frightened that she ran away.

As soon as she moved, the three teams of female cultivators from the Fengchi Sect all ran away in panic, immediately attracting the attention of many will-o'-the-wisps, who regarded them as monster corpses and chased them to absorb the death energy.

Ye Ling turned around and sighed. He was originally on good terms with these soulless ghosts, but now they have made a mess. It seems that it is impossible not to sacrifice the Thousand Soul Banner.

In the past few days, his Thousand Soul Banner has sealed no less than 300 beast souls, and it has already advanced to the third level of the best level! It grew to more than ten feet tall, shrouded in black mist and filled with ghostly aura.

The moment Ye Ling took the picture of the Thousand Soul Flag, the Lu sisters, Bai Qiu and other powerful people all looked sideways at it, and suddenly took a breath of cold air. Their doubtful eyes were even more shocked than seeing countless will-o'-the-wisps!

"Demon Soul Flag! Fellow Daoist Ye, how could you have such an evil thing?"

Lu Xinmei looked at Ye Ling blankly. In her impression, Ye Ling was a master of alchemy and a high-level pharmacist. He was an alchemy cultivator that she had always admired in her heart. At the very least, he was a righteous monk who saved people in distress. This ghostly soul flag somewhat subverted her good impression of Ye Ling.

In contrast, Fourth Miss Lu Xuezhu did not feel surprised, but was secretly happy, knowing that there was no more suitable way to deal with these will-o'-the-wisps than the Soul Flag. After all, she even traded soul refining skills to Ye Ling. She knew what kind of person Ye Ling was. He only focused on results, valued the improvement of his own strength, and did not pay attention to the distinction between good and evil.
