171: Entering the Dark Mist, a black space

At this moment, more and more misty darkness was pouring into the city.

"It seems we need to hurry!"

"Wan Ning, let's go!"

Su Yun said with a grave expression.

If they didn't resolve this misty darkness quickly, he suspected something bad would happen.

"Okay."

At this time, two female Disciples from Cangmu Peak stepped forward and said with worried faces:

"Junior Brother Su Yun and Junior Sister Wanning, you must return safely."

"Okay, thank you for your concern, Senior Sisters!"

"The remaining eight of us will find a way to resist the misty darkness.

Junior Brother Su and Junior Sister Mu, there's no need to be so anxious.

You must prioritize your safety."

Zhou Moshu also spoke in a serious tone.

Zhao Qianxing really wanted to follow and protect Mu Wanning at this moment.

But he didn't possess Spirit Lightning and couldn't withstand the misty darkness.

He could only look at Su Yun with envy.

"My Lords, please head to the city square to temporarily take shelter from the misty darkness.

We have set up a Formation there that should be able to hold it back for a while."

Yang Yuanfeng flickered and appeared near Su Yun and the others, speaking respectfully.

Then, he looked at Su Yun and Mu Wanning, who were walking toward the black mist, with some confusion.

"What are these two Lords doing?"

"We plan to enter the misty darkness to deal with the source of the mist."

"On behalf of all the Cultivators in Qingling City, I thank you both!"

Yang Yuanfeng spoke even more respectfully to the two.

As expected of the Personal Disciples of the Taixuan Holy Land.

So responsible.

A Spiritual Qi barrier condensed from Spirit Lightning appeared around both Su Yun and Mu Wanning.

Immediately, the two entered the misty darkness directly.

"Let's go to the Formation in the city square as well!

At the same time, we'll think of other ways to see if we can contact the Holy Land.

We can't just wait for Junior Brother Su and Junior Sister Mu to resolve the misty darkness."

Zhou Moshu said, looking at the other seven.

"Alright."

The other seven had no objections.

Under Yang Yuanfeng's lead, Zhou Moshu and the others entered the Formation within the Qingling City square.

By now, the misty darkness had already submerged half of Qingling City... deep within the Qingling Forest.

In a black space, there was a bottomless pool of red blood.

Soaking in the red blood pool was a black-red lump of flesh emitting a powerful aura.

This lump of flesh gave off an extremely potent pressure, and dense patterns appeared around it.

A phantom of a Yao Beast emerged from the flesh.

"It seems my plan has succeeded."

"Why aren't Huiyan, Youteng, and Chihuo here?"

Evil Nether said with some doubt.

"Wait, they seem to be dead!"

"Useless trash, I was still waiting for your sacrifices.

How did you die so quickly?"

"Could it be that a powerful Human Race expert has appeared?"

"No, I must quickly start condensing my Physical Body.

After so many days of battle.

The Death Qi and various Evil Qi near Qingling City should be enough.

This satisfies the conditions for the Formation of the misty darkness.

The misty darkness should have finished releasing by now.

Even if the Qingling City Cultivators wipe out all the Yao Beasts, they won't be able to stop my misty darkness.

Once the misty darkness is released, I can perform the Devouring Demon Grand Art to condense my Physical Body."

"Devouring Demon Grand Art!"

As Evil Nether activated the hand seals.

Countless Death Qi, Evil Qi, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi poured into the blood pool from all directions.

Near Qingling City, the corpses of both the Human Race and the Yao Race were swallowed by the misty darkness.

Then, they were directly pulled into this black space by a certain force.

"I calculated before that the corpses of these Yao Beasts plus the corpses of the Human Race Cultivators..."

"...would be enough for me to re-condense the Evil Nether Demon Body.

I, the Evil Nether Yao Emperor, have returned!"

"Hahaha, hateful Human Race and Yao Race.

I will definitely have my revenge!"

Evil Nether shouted excitedly.

As its body became increasingly solid,

its mood also became more and more agitated.

Shortly after, its body stopped condensing.

"???"

"What's going on?

How did so many corpses disappear?"

"Who stole so many corpses?

Even if they were blown to pieces by Spells, it's impossible for them to vanish completely."

"Damn it!

Who did this?

Now I've only condensed a part of my body."

Evil Nether was now in a dilemma.

Although it could slowly absorb ordinary Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to condense its body,

the Evil Nether Demon Body condensed this way would be weaker.

Moreover, once the body condensation began, it could not be stopped.

"Fortunately, my misty darkness has already been fully released.

Now Qingling City and the vicinity of the Qingling Forest are shrouded in my misty darkness.

The outside world shouldn't be able to learn about the situation here so quickly."

"Hmm? Two humans have walked into the misty darkness?

Could it be their doing?

You're looking for death!"

Evil Nether said with a savage tone.

It immediately controlled the misty darkness to attack the two... inside the misty darkness.

Su Yun and Mu Wanning had already been walking for the time it takes to burn half an incense stick.

Everything around them was currently dim and murky.

"Divine Sense cannot be expanded."

Su Yun discovered that the misty darkness blocked the exploration of Divine Sense.

At this moment, two powerful Divine Sense attacks suddenly appeared within the originally calm misty darkness.

However, because his own Divine Sense was powerful,

this Divine Sense attack could not affect him.

"That's right, Wan Ning might not be able to resist this kind of Divine Sense attack."

"This Divine Sense attack is also mixed with a powerful illusion."

Thinking of this, Su Yun looked at Mu Wanning beside him.

At this moment, her face was pale, and the Void-Shattering Spiritual Lightning barrier on her body was flickering, looking as if it would go out at any moment.

"Has she fallen into an illusion?"

Su Yun sensed that the aura on Mu Wanning's body was very unstable.

Most importantly, her spiritual consciousness was somewhat chaotic.

"If this continues, she will be in danger."

The next moment, Mu Wanning's body began to sway, as if she couldn't stand steadily.

Her Spirit Lightning barrier also broke a hole, and the black mist instantly rushed toward her.

"Nine Heavens Thunder Control Art!"

Su Yun condensed Nine Heavens Thunder to temporarily disperse the black mist around Mu Wanning.

Then, he reached out to support Mu Wanning.

But Mu Wanning seemed to have lost consciousness.

She fell into Su Yun's arms.

Su Yun only felt a soft and cold body pressed tightly against his chest.

Strands of jet-black hair drifted gently over his arm.

A faint body fragrance wafted from Mu Wanning.

At this moment, Mu Wanning's pretty face was slightly pale, and her aura began to weaken along with it.

She gritted her teeth, her brows tightly furrowed, appearing to be trapped in a bad illusion.

"Hmm?"

Su Yun released his Divine Sense to condense an invisible barrier.

He blocked the Divine Sense attack of the black mist and then dispersed the Divine Sense attacking Mu Wanning.

Subsequently, he circulated the Glazed Sacred Fire within his body to dispel the chill on Mu Wanning's body.

At the same time, he used his Divine Sense to check if Mu Wanning's spiritual consciousness was injured.

"Fortunately, I noticed it early.

Perhaps it's because of her Physique.

Wan Ning's spiritual consciousness did not suffer serious damage.

It is constantly self-recovering; she'll likely wake up in a moment."

"Let's continue."

Su Yun helplessly picked up Mu Wanning.

Mu Wanning's expression looked much better now, and her aura became stable.

Under the effect of the Glazed Sacred Fire, her body temperature also recovered.

"It seems the enemy deep within the misty darkness has made a move."

Su Yun sensed that the intensity of the misty darkness seemed to have increased.

Immediately, he accelerated his pace toward the direction of the Qingling Forest.
