"This place is more complicated than we imagined!"
"And the Sect Master and the others definitely wouldn't know how dangerous this place is!"
"I went back to the entrance, but the exit there has already been sealed!"
"To leave, we have to wait another ten days!"
Chen Nan nodded slightly!
The Dao Sect was the foremost sect, and they treated their disciples very well!
If the high-ranking officials of the Dao Sect knew how dangerous this place was, they would certainly not have let them come here for training!
Lu Yuqiu hesitated for a moment and said nervously, "Why don't we team up?"
Lu Yuqiu had complicated feelings for Xuanyuan Yue.
This was because ten years ago, Xuanyuan Yue had approached her and proposed they cultivate together!
However, Lu Yuqiu did not like Xuanyuan Yue!
Even though he was at the peak of his power back then, he acted like a coward!
Yes!
Especially the incident where he fainted from fear of blood, which made her despise him!
Fortunately, no outsiders knew about this!
Who would have thought that decades later, he would have grown into a master!
And he had even saved her life!
It was a pity!
He already had a Dao Companion…
Chen Nan said, "We can team up, but I have one condition!"
"What condition?" Lu Yuqiu's heart trembled. Could he be bringing up the past again and wanting her to cultivate with him?
No, no, no!
She was a heavenly prodigy of the Dao Sect, a Saintess!
How could she share a husband with another woman?
Chen Nan said, "Since we are teaming up, there will inevitably be times when we disagree. To avoid this situation, everything will be decided by me!"
"Just this?" Lu Yuqiu inexplicably felt a sense of loss!
She had thought that he would take this opportunity to propose cultivating with her!
Chen Nan said, "Yes, if we are to team up, you must listen to me in everything you do from now on!"
He knew Lu Yuqiu's personality; she was indecisive and soft-hearted!
This kind of personality could be a teammate, but definitely not a leader!
"Okay, from now on, we will all listen to you!" Lu Yuqiu readily agreed. Xuanyuan Yue was very strong, and having such a master would put her at ease.
"My idea is simple: find other fellow disciples, stick together for warmth, and wait for the exit of the small world to open again!" Chen Nan stated his plan!
However, even he did not know if the small world would open in ten days…
Lu Yuqiu: "We'll listen to Junior Brother Xuanyuan for everything!"
Chen Nan looked up at the void and wrote a "召" (summon) using the Divine Talisman Art.
This was also a technique within the Divine Talisman Art, used for summoning.
If anyone was nearby, they could sense it and come.
A large Divine Talisman Art floated in mid-air!
Chen Nan said, "Let's rest here for now. If no one appears before dawn, we'll go out and look for them!"
They were located halfway up a mountain, with a wide field of vision.
Nothing happened overnight!
After dawn!
A blood-red sun appeared in the distant east!
During this time, no one had come to them.
"This small world is exceptionally vast. It's extremely difficult to encounter our own kind here," Lu Yuqiu said, her eyes filled with a complex emotion!
Because she didn't know if her fellow disciples were still alive!
After all, among the two thousand cultivators who entered this time, Nascent Soul stage cultivators were only a minority!
Most of them were cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages!
Although she didn't wish for any misfortune to befall them!
But even they, who were Nascent Soul stage powerhouses, had almost lost to the Soul Devouring Ants!
It was easy to imagine that if ordinary disciples encountered Soul Devouring Ants… they would most likely be utterly annihilated!
"Let's go, we're leaving here!"
Chen Nan took out a flying magic treasure and carried thirteen disciples of Jade Maiden Peak, led by Lu Yuqiu, into the sky!
Although Nascent Soul stage powerhouses could teleport and fly on swords!
Doing so would consume a lot of true qi!
Therefore, traveling by magic treasure was the safest option!
Because the world's spiritual energy was extremely scarce, if too much was consumed, it would be impossible to replenish!
"Junior Brother Xuanyuan, there's the sound of fighting below!"
Lu Yuqiu looked into the distance.
She saw several figures fighting fiercely against several Soul Devouring Ants!
They were all Golden Core stage experts, fighting evenly with the Soul Devouring Ants!
And they were all covered in wounds!
Besides them, there were more than a dozen corpses of Dao Sect disciples on the ground!
"Swish!"
Chen Nan pointed his finger from afar, and Xuanyuan Yue's low-grade spirit sword flew out, instantly killing those Soul Devouring Ants!
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xuanyuan, for saving our lives!"
After Chen Nan landed, the group bowed simultaneously, their eyes filled with gratitude!
Chen Nan glanced at the dozen corpses on the ground: "Collect their bodies, and follow us!"
He was accustomed to killing, and this scene could not deter him!
However, Lu Yuqiu's eyes showed a look of unbearable pity! She had killed many demonic beasts, but she had never killed anyone, let alone seen so many disciples die before her eyes!
"That's not right, these people have sword wounds. They weren't killed by Soul Devouring Ants?" Chen Nan suddenly frowned!
The leading young man's face was filled with grief and indignation: "Reporting to Senior Brother Xuanyuan, they were killed by Yin Jian! Yin Jian killed them, snatched the Demonic God Crystals from us, lured out these Soul Devouring Ants, and then left!"
Lu Yuqiu said, "Yin Jian? If I recall correctly, he seems to be one of Ao Hanye's people, right?"
"Yin Jian seems to be Senior Brother Ao's cousin!"
A trace of anger flashed in Lu Yuqiu's eyes: "I've long heard that Yin Jian bullies his fellow disciples by relying on his Saint Son cousin, but I never expected him to kill his own people for Demonic God Crystals. I will definitely report this to the Sect Master when we get back!"
Chen Nan remained silent!
He felt that Lu Yuqiu was too soft-hearted!
In secular terms… she was a bit of a saintly mother!
Although killing fellow disciples violated the sect's rules, the training itself was full of unexpected events!
To put it bluntly, killing one's own kind during trials was tacitly approved!
Chen Nan asked, "Which direction did Yin Jian flee?"
"Northeast!"
Chen Nan formed seals with his hands, and the magic artifact beneath his feet instantly transformed into a giant ship, carrying everyone and flying towards the northeast!
At the same time!
His soul power had already locked onto the twelve peak Golden Core stage cultivators led by Yin Jian!
But to his surprise, Yin Jian and the others were currently kneeling devoutly before a Demon King, their eyes vacant, with many Demonic God Crystals placed before them!
Those Demonic God Crystals emitted a crimson glow, which was then devoured by the Demon King!
"Not good, their consciousness has been controlled by the Demon King!"
A trace of panic flashed in Chen Nan's eyes!
Ye Hongyi had said that although the gods and demons here had died for many years, the will of some gods and demons had not completely perished!
Encountering the will of gods and demons would be an extremely dangerous matter!
Of course!
The most terrifying thing was having one's mind controlled by the will of gods and demons!
Because they could control people to worship them, and doing so could potentially lead to the resurrection of gods and demons!
Once the gods and demons were resurrected, who could resist them?
