Chapter 269: Bait Again
He had noticed what happened last time early on, but according to his observation, the man who took his disciple away had no intention of killing him, so he did not rescue him in time, but just followed and watched.
There was nothing he could do. He was curious. He wondered who had the guts to rob people in the street after knowing their whereabouts, and with such a simple method.
Who are you looking down on?
As a result, after following for a while, I saw a good show.
However, now is not the time to bring up the past. The most important thing is for everyone to do their own thing.
Although he was not very willing, Sheng Yuan still followed the group of fish.
Zhou Ling followed his master and embarked on a new journey of pursuit again.
This time they had the token left for them by the Phantom Demon Clan.
With this token, you can move freely in the fantasy demon realm without having to worry about being misunderstood or being blocked.
Perhaps because of the long delay, the aura became weaker and weaker. Long Aotian felt a little worried. He had already chased all the way here, and he couldn't just give up.
It is possible that the attracting aura has been completely cut off in this area. If we want to continue searching, we can only find a way to expand the search range.
"No need to look for Master, I have seen them."
I don’t know if it’s because the Hengyue Sword and demonic energy are naturally incompatible, but Zhou Ling has been feeling uncomfortable ever since he arrived nearby.
The breath that she had been pursuing disappeared, but in her eyes, although that breath disappeared, something similar to that breath became stronger and stronger.
The sea area in front of the left looks like clear water at first glance, but for some reason, if you look more closely, the sea area has turned into a dark black color.
At first Zhou Ling thought that his eyes were damaged, so he rubbed them and pressed the acupoints around his eyes, but when he looked again, he was still in the same condition.
Noticing that something was wrong over there, she tried to use her mental power to extend it over there to investigate, but the result was...
The mental force hit a barrier and could no longer move forward.
Zhou Lingxian knew that there were things in this world that could block spiritual consciousness, but although mental power and spiritual consciousness had the same origin, the principles were slightly different. Something that could block spiritual consciousness might not necessarily be able to block mental power.
But now?
Something that can block her mental power appeared!
The untouchable barrier made Zhou Ling somewhat alert.
This is the direction where the aura disappeared, so the dark black color that I saw, could it be...
Is this the evil spirit I saw once before?
It’s no wonder that Zhou Ling didn’t recognize it. It was because of the barrier that separated her. She couldn’t feel what the atmosphere inside was like and could only see it with her eyes.
In this world of cultivating immortals, a place full of fantasy, what you see with your eyes is sometimes not real.
So Zhou Ling didn’t think of the dark ink color as demonic energy at first.
Now, although there is a barrier separating them, after adding up all the clues and speculating, it can be basically confirmed that the nest that the master and she have been looking for may have been found.
"where?"
The master sent a message to her.
Zhou Ling raised his finger, without saying anything, and just pointed in that direction lightly.
"Don't act rashly. Wait for news from Senior Sheng." The reason why Long Aotian was so persistent in pursuing that aura was because he was afraid that if they delayed too long, the aura would disappear and they would have made a wasted trip.
Now, although the aura has disappeared, the real destination has been successfully found. No matter what happens next, Long Aotian’s biggest responsibility now is to protect Zhou Ling.
It was not without reason that he took the risk to bring his disciple with him to search for her. Firstly, he wanted her to increase her knowledge and experience. Secondly, it was because the Hengyue Sword had already recognized her as its master. The Hengyue Sword naturally had the ability to counter the demons. If they were close, it might be able to sense it.
His foresight came in handy here, and it turned out to be the right decision to bring a disciple with him.
But at this time, safety arrangements must be made with caution.
He pulled his disciple back a long distance. Although he was transmitting sound through his spiritual consciousness, Long Aotian deliberately lowered the volume and appeared to be very cautious.
"I'm afraid a fierce battle is inevitable. You should go into the Qiankun House first. It will be more convenient for Master to take you with him."
"But Master, good and evil cannot coexist. We can sense each other. The barrier they set up here is so powerful that not a single breath can be seen, but I can still find it. Although the Qiankun House is good, if I hide in it, they will definitely attack Master madly and rob this house. If they succeed, I will still be in danger."
As soon as Zhou Ling heard the plan, he felt it was unreliable. He quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind and explained them one by one to his master.
"So what are your plans?"
When Long Aotian heard this, he thought it made sense. But looking at his disciple's expression, his big watery eyes rolled around, as if he already had an idea, so he asked.
"Master, don't you like to use me as bait?"
Zhou Ling blinked, her tone playful but also a little complaining.
"What do you mean? Are you going to take the initiative to apply to be the bait this time?" Long Aotian knew what her plan was as soon as he heard it, but the problem now is that she was used as bait before because she knew the enemy's strength and was sure that she could suppress it, so she was willing to use her apprentice to fish.
But the situation he is facing now is unknown. He is not sure and dare not take the risk easily.
"Yes, I took the initiative to apply. Although I am not very capable, I still have some other uses."
Zhou Ling nodded slightly and noticed that his master looked troubled.
"Master, don't worry. Unless the demons show up in person, there is no need to worry about my safety. After all, you and uncle-master have given me so many life-saving things. Uncle-master is even more amazing. He said that the defensive magic weapon he gave me can add life! I have two lives now, what is there to be afraid of?"
The reason why the demon was so sure that he did not come to the scene in person was because Zhou Ling had fought with him before, although it was only with a wisp of residual soul.
But the aura of the demons was deeply imprinted in her mind.
As long as she thought about it, she would have the impression of brutality, bloodiness and fangs. If she saw him again or met him up close, she would definitely be able to detect it.
"You can give it a try, but you have to wait until everyone is gathered."
Long Aotian finally nodded. Although this method was dangerous, it was indeed one of the most feasible options at present.
It is true that his disciple has something to save her life, but Long Aotian still can't bear to take such a big risk with her.
If you are not careful, you may lose your life, but it doesn’t matter.
If anyone were to die, he would be the first to die.
With him by his side to look after him, at least he wouldn't let his own disciple die before him.
In fact, Long Aotian trusted Sheng Yuan's ability to do things, so he gave him this important task.
But no matter how long the master and disciple waited, they still didn't see the arrival of all the people.
