Zhang Ling was still in the distance, his eyes flickering as he surveyed the seven or eight blue beetles that Great Priest Luo Ming had released, which were devouring the giant snake's body.
Each of these beetles was about seventy or eighty feet in size, resembling ladybugs. They had many blue spots on their bodies and emitted a strange demonic aura.
Zhang Ling could sense traces of true demonic energy in that demonic aura, and he was secretly shocked. True demonic energy was not easy to refine even for alien demons with Nascent Soul strength.
These beetles seemed to be Holy Demon Worms of the alien demon clan, said to have considerable magical powers. In the alien demon clan, only the elders of the Demon Soul Hall were qualified to raise them.
In a short period of time, the seven or eight demon worms devoured most of the giant snake's corpse, including the red giant cocoons and the cyan giant cocoons parasitic on the giant snake.
After exchanging a few words with Old Demon Baihua, Sect Leader Yan looked up at the sky and said, "Fellow Daoists, we should leave. Time is short, and we still have to go to the top of the mountain. Besides Profound Yin Jade, there are no other spiritual objects here. The top of the mountain is our goal. If any Daoist covets the Profound Yin Jade and misses the time, don't blame this Sect Leader for not reminding you."
Although his voice was not loud, he used his spiritual power. It spread throughout the surrounding hundreds of miles. After speaking, this person did not wait for others to react, and directly turned into a遁光 and flew towards the outside of the canyon.
Old Demon Baihua glanced at Great Priest Luo Ming and followed him up.
At this time, the Holy Demon Worms had devoured the giant snake's body, leaving not even the bones. Luo Ming put away the Holy Demon Worms, and his body flashed with purple light as he rushed up instantly.
Zhang Ling and others did not stay long, and flew towards the sky one after another. Halfway, he met Senior Brother Tianfeng, Old Man Hueling and others. These people all had smiles on their faces, as if they had found something good.
Upon inquiring, it turned out that Senior Brother Tianfeng and others had encountered a Black Toad Ancient Beast whose strength was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. They solved it together, and it seemed that the harvest was not small.
Zhang Ling had seen this kind of ancient beast in ancient books. It was a kind of ancient beast with Yin Sha attributes, which was not only physically strong, but also condensed Yin Sha Beads in the body, which had many uses.
However, listening to the conversation between Senior Brother Tianfeng and others, the Black Toad Ancient Beast was also parasitized by many Ghost Eye Monsters, and its strength had declined instead. Under their joint efforts, it was resolved in a short time.
In just a dozen breaths of time, everyone gathered again, most of them with joy on their faces, and they all gained something.
From the conversation of these people, Zhang Ling also heard that several others had encountered ancient beasts, which were all solved by these old monsters. There were even a few people arguing about it, seemingly because the things they got were not distributed well.
He also saw that Ghost Face Youth landed beside Sect Leader Yan, not knowing what he was saying.
Sect Leader Yan shook his head slightly, his face darkened, and he glanced at everyone and coldly spit out a "Go" word, leading the Ghost King Sect people to set off again.
The next road encountered some dangers, including ancient beasts blocking the way with not weak strength, and large swaths of ghost mist that could produce illusions. If a single person encountered them, the risk would be not small.
However, the cultivators of the Ghost King Sect were quite familiar with this place, and most of the ancient beasts were bypassed.
The strength of the crowd was not weak, and some risks that could not be bypassed were dealt with together, which only delayed some time and passed safely.
Two hours later, the crowd reached a height of sixty to seventy thousand feet on the giant mountain, and the ghost mist nearby became thinner. The eyes could see thousands of feet away.
At this moment, they were standing on the edge of a black-green cliff, overlooking the other side. The distance between the cliff and the opposite bank was about eight or nine miles wide.
Zhang Ling also found that the cracks on the edge of the cliff were very neat, flat, and the cliffs on the opposite side were also flat. It seemed to have been cut open with a knife. The whistling cold wind rushed through, and a cry of ghosts and wolves sounded.
Arriving here, the people of the Ghost King Sect stopped again. They did not immediately fly to the other side. Before everyone was puzzled, Sect Leader Yan said, "There is a forbidden evil wind in the mid-air here, called Soul-Stealing Wind. To cross over, we have to wait a while."
After Sect Leader Yan said this expressionlessly, he took the people of the Ghost King Sect to a short distance away, sat cross-legged and waited, looking unhurried.
This scene made everyone look at each other.
"Why don't you leave? What are these people from the Ghost King Sect waiting for?" A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator with a hot temper, his face darkened. If there were not three great cultivators suppressing them, these people would have been furious.
Great Priest Luo Ming and Old Demon Baihua looked at each other, their lips moved slightly and they exchanged a few words, sitting cross-legged on the left and right sides of the Ghost King Sect's people.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling and others naturally had no intention of taking risks, and they all chose a place to wait. However, there were still a few old monsters who still did not believe Sect Leader Yan's explanation just now.
In front of Zhang Ling was a bald black man, muttering. "Humph, Soul-Stealing Wind, I have never heard of it before. I want to see what's strange about it."
This person was not weak, and was a mid-Nascent Soul Stage old monster.
The bald man walked along the cliff for a distance, his eyes flickering as he looked at the other side. Suddenly, he flicked his hand, and a green light flew out, releasing a palm-sized green bird, circling and flying around him.
"Green Bee Bird, he actually has this kind of spirit beast." Old Ancestor Tianfeng looked at the appearance of the bird, and his eyes were surprised.
Zhang Ling also glanced at the green bird. This spirit bird looked like a sparrow, and its cyan-blue feathers flickered with fluorescent light, which was very beautiful. The only strange thing was the tail, which had a scarlet tail needle.
"Go"
The bald man pointed to the front, and the Green Bee Bird cried out and flapped its wings and flew out. It flew more than ten feet all the way, circling in the air for a while, and there was nothing unusual.
The bald man commanded the Green Bee Bird to fly forward again, intending to let the Green Bee Bird fly directly to the other side.
This time, after the Green Bee Bird flew forward for a distance, it suddenly chirped and chirped, as if it had encountered some danger.
The bald man's heart moved, and the Green Bee Bird's body flashed with green light, transforming into more than a dozen phantoms of the Green Bee Bird, each of which was lifelike. At first glance, it was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
This is the phantom magic of the Green Bee Bird. Even the divine sense power of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
"Come back" The man's face sank, and he commanded the Green Bee Bird to return the same way.
However, the Green Bee Bird seemed to be bound by something. No matter how the green light flashed on its body, it just flapped its wings a few times and did not fly back. It spun around in place, as if it had lost its direction.
Not only Zhang Ling and others next to him saw this scene, but other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were also paying attention to the situation of the Green Bee Bird. Most of them showed different colors in their eyes.
Although this Green Bee Bird was not large, its spiritual power was not low. It was a sixth-order high-level spirit bird, not weaker than a Golden Core Stage cultivator.
With a sigh, the Green Bee Bird lost its own control. No matter how the bald man urged, the Green Bee Bird just spun around in place. Its head was crooked and it died. The body was still spinning around in place.
This scene made everyone's faces look surprised and uncertain, and most of them showed surprise.
The bald man clapped his hands and released a green spiritual light, which turned into a green rope, trying to wrap around the Green Bee Bird and pull it back.
However, the spiritual power he released, as soon as it approached the Green Bee Bird's position of Zhang Xu, it was also out of control, and it was strangely wrapped together, turning into a ball of green light and spinning around and quickly collapsed.
"Haha, fellow Daoist, your spirit beast can't be saved. It has been entangled by the Soul-Stealing Wind, and it will soon disappear and turn into ashes. It's unlucky not to listen to my Sect Master." A sneer came from not far away. It was the black-robed woman, Ghost Mother, next to Sect Leader Yan.
Hearing this, the bald man's face was covered with frost, staring coldly at the Ghost Mother, his whole body's spiritual power fluctuating, showing that he was angered.
At this time, with a soft sound of噗, the Green Bee Bird, which was spinning around in place, stopped struggling, and its head was crooked and it died. The corpse was still spinning around in place.
This scene made everyone's faces look strange and uncertain, and most of them showed surprise.
Zhang Ling's eyes flickered, and he had been paying attention to the situation of the Green Bee Bird. Just now, the Green Bee Bird's demon spirit was suddenly pulled out of its body by some force and disappeared in an instant.
Could this be the Soul-Stealing Wind!
Soul-Stealing, is it some kind of special attack power aimed at the soul.
The corpse of the Green Bee Bird spun around a few times in mid-air and fell towards the lower sky, disappearing. It seemed that the power that trapped the bird had dissipated.
The bald man's face was extremely ugly, standing in place silently for a while. He 哼 and snorted, returned to calm, his body flashed, and he retreated a distance, sitting on a big stone.
Seeing a sixth-order spirit beast, die strangely. Everyone's faces were surprised, looking at each other.
With their eyesight, they could see that the Green Bee Bird's body had not suffered much damage, but its demon soul was pulled out of its body and died of soul loss.
Seeing their expressions, the Ghost Mother laughed strangely. "Everyone has seen it, this is the power of the Soul-Stealing Wind. Which Daoist doesn't want to wait and fly over, maybe it is possible to reach the other side."
Hearing this, the bald man shuddered all over, but he could only admit that he was unlucky.
Naturally, no one dared to fly over alone next. However, there were still a few old monsters who did not believe in evil and used various means to test.
Zhang Ling watched all this in his eyes and came to a rough conclusion. The Soul-Stealing Wind seemed to be only for the souls of living beings.
Whether it is a spirit beast, spirit insect, or any living thing, flying into the mid-air will be swept by the Soul-Stealing Wind, and the soul will die within a few breaths.
Even if you release magic weapons and magic treasures, you can only fly halfway, and the spiritual consciousness imprints of the cultivators engraved on the magic weapons and magic treasures will be corroded and lose control.
Cultivators control magic weapons, spiritual power is secondary, mainly relying on spiritual consciousness control.
If the spiritual consciousness imprints on the treasures are erased, they will naturally lose control.
Of course, the cultivator's natal magic weapon is an exception, but in this case, naturally no one would be stupid enough to use the natal magic weapon to test.
But there is one exception. At this time, Zhang Ling glanced at Shi Daoist of the True Yang Sect, who is famous for cultivating body refining skills, and grabbed a black-green boulder with one hand, which was as big as a millstone.
This person grabbed it in his hand and tossed it a few times lightly, glanced at the other side, waved his hand, and the boulder flew out with a 嗖 sound
A moment later, a clear sound came from the other side. This person did not use spiritual power, but directly used brute force to throw the boulder to the other side.
This method seemed to be able to safely reach the other side, attracting the attention of several old monsters.
But after thinking about it carefully, it is impossible. Rocks have no souls, but they are living beings. This method applied to people cannot succeed.
After a series of experiments, these people did not find a good way, so they could only wait quietly.
As time passed, an hour later, the cultivators of the Ghost King Sect still did not move. Many people's faces darkened, and even the faces of Old Demon Baihua and Great Priest Luo Ming changed a bit.
After waiting another quarter of an hour, Sect Leader Yan finally opened his eyes. Instantly, everyone's eyes fell on this person.
Sect Leader Yan flashed and stood up, looked up at the sky, and said leisurely. "The time is almost up, the Rainbow Bridge should appear. Only by stepping on the Rainbow Bridge can we safely reach the other side."
"Rainbow Bridge, what does Daoist Yan mean? There is no bridge nearby." An alien demon old man with a dark face glanced at the empty cliff and asked a little 诧异.
Sect Leader Yan ignored this person, and with a flash of black light, he arrived at the edge of the cliff. The other cultivators of the Ghost King Sect also followed up.
"Eh, there seems to be a bridge in the air." Suddenly, Elder Qin found something and called out.
The others scanned with their spiritual sense and immediately discovered that in the empty mid-air on the edge of the cliff, where the cold moonlight shone, a stone bridge actually appeared.
This stone bridge was very strange. Only where the moonlight shone, a certain section of the intermittent position appeared. Where the moonlight did not shine, it was still empty.
It looked like an eye-opener.
With a loud bang.
A black light was 打入 into the sky. At this time, Sect Leader Yan, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, suddenly launched an attack into the sky.
The black light exploded a hundred feet above the head, turning into a black blade light, directly 劈开 the thick gray-black ghost mist above the head.
The mist rolled between, splitting a long crack. It stretched all the way to the other side. A piece of cyan-white moonlight poured down.
Instantly illuminating the area below, where the moonlight passed, the intermittent stone bridge that everyone saw instantly connected together.
It formed a wide stone bridge that was hundreds of feet long. Although it looked broken, it was also twenty or thirty feet wide, like a huge black light 架 between the cliffs.
"The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the moon bridge appears. Everyone, follow closely, don't miss the opportunity." Sect Leader Yan 嘿嘿 smiled, waved his hand and immediately led the disciples of the Ghost King Sect to step on the stone bridge and rushed to the other side.
The people of the Ghost King Sect acted quickly, instantly crossing a distance of tens of feet. Everyone also immediately came back to their senses and hurriedly followed.
This suddenly appearing stone bridge, like a real stone bridge, stepping on it is like solid ground.
Zhang Ling's body flashed, following behind Old Ancestor Tianfeng, and with a point of his foot, he crossed a distance of more than ten feet and stepped on the stone bridge. The yellow light flashed again under his feet, and he flashed to more than ten feet away.
Everyone did not use flying escape methods, but the speed was not slow.
In the blink of an eye, they had walked halfway, and even while walking, Zhang Ling deliberately stepped heavily on the bridge surface with his spiritual power. This strange stone strip remained motionless.
He also released his spiritual sense to carefully observe the stone bridge, and found that the bridge was integrated, with many strange ghost stone carvings engraved on it, revealing 狰狞 phantoms under the moonlight.
However, there was no spiritual power showing, it seemed to be just ordinary stone carvings.
Suddenly, Zhang Ling caught a glimpse of a wisp of fine gray air outside the stone bridge, which turned like the wind and disappeared. If you don't look carefully, you may not be able to see it.
This is... Soul-Stealing Wind.
