Ren Yufeng had long known Shangguan Yunhao would end up like this. What he hated the most was talented cultivation group disciples, but Shangguan Yunhao just happened to have this kind of temperament — how could he possibly sincerely cooperate with Shangguan Yunhao?
Not only did he have no self-awareness, but he was also as stupid as a pig. Shangguan Yunhao didn't feel wronged at all for falling into such a situation.
However, a trace of sadness flitted across Elder Qingyi's and Elder Qingmiao's faces when they saw his corpse.
He was, after all, the disciple they'd cultivated for more than a hundred years. How could they remain indifferent upon seeing him die in someone else's hands?
Ren Yufeng stared at the female cultivators in front of him and smiled gloomily. "He's dead, so it's your turn now!"
Elder Qingmiao pushed Wei Haolan to Mo Tiange, then swung the golden rope in her hand and sneered. "Who knows whose turn it will be!"
"Then let's try!" Ren Yufeng used his devil aura again.
Seeing that they were fighting again, Mo Tiange helped Wei Haolan to a corner. "Sect Head Wei, are you alright?"
Wei Haolan coughed up a mouthful of blood and said with difficulty, "I …"
"Don't talk first!" Mo Tiange took out a healing medicinal pill and fed it to her. "There are two elders here, so you should heal first."
Wei Haolan nodded, swallowed the medicinal pill then sat down cross-legged without saying anything.
Mo Tiange looked up and saw Elder Qingyi and Elder Qingmiao fighting with Ren Yufeng.
In the current situation, although Ren Yufeng was strong, Elder Qingyi and Elder Qingmiao weren't at a disadvantage. Moreover, they had a good tacit understanding with each other, so their chances of winning were relatively high.
However, Mo Tiange felt something was wrong.
Ren Yufeng was too confident. He might've colluded with Shangguan Yunhao in the beginning, but he obviously didn't take Shangguan Yunhao seriously at all. He probably just wanted to learn about Bixuan Court's situation from Shangguan Yunhao and use him to crack Bixuan Court's restrictions and formations.
Then the question was — where did his confidence come from?
Mo Tiange couldn't figure it out.
Nevertheless, she was never the type to sit and wait for death. After she felt something was wrong, she took out a simple formation and laid a Four Symbols Hundred Flowers Formation around her.
After that, she placed several magic weapons and magic tools in the most accessible places. She also held the magic talismans Lord Daoist Jinghe prepared for her in her hands.
Soon after, she carefully observed the situation of their fight of magical power. If there was a life-threatening moment, she planned to directly enter the Virtual Sky World.
Although she had a lot of treasures with her, the gap between the Core Formation realm and the Foundation Building realm was too big. If Elder Qingyi and Elder Qingmiao couldn't hold on, she would have no choice but to save her own life first.
Elder Qingyi and Elder Qingmiao cooperated very well. Elder Qingyi's jade bottle focused on defense while Elder Qingmiao's golden rope focused on offense. One of them attacked while the other defended, and one advanced while the other retreated — their teamwork was flawless. Ren Yufeng couldn't gain the slightest bit of advantage, so he immediately looked impatient.
After fighting for a while, Ren Yufeng finally couldn't endure it anymore. He used a wisp of devil aura to block Elder Qingmiao's attack and said coldly, "These two old women are quite skilled. It seems I'll have to use my trump card!"
She guessed Ren Yufeng definitely had something to rely on, but she didn't know what kind of cultivation technique he practiced in the end.
Just like before, Elder Qingyi sprayed her willow branch with a layer of spiritual fog, which then turned into a protective spiritual light.
Ren Yufeng sneered. "A grain of light dares to compete with the sun and the moon? I'll show you what I can do!"
Right after he finished speaking, he made a series of hand seals with both hands. A wisp of pure devil aura filled his whole body in an instant, moving around his whole body.
This devil aura was unusual.
Mo Tiange stared at Ren Yufeng and saw that his momentum suddenly changed. It was as if … as if his cultivation level suddenly rose sharply.
However, she wasn't a Core Formation cultivator, so she couldn't see which stage Ren Yufeng's cultivation level had risen to.
"Qingmiao, Black Tortoise Shield!" Elder Qingyi reacted very quickly and immediately shouted.
Elder Qingmiao immediately took out an extremely small shield-like magic weapon. With a wave of her hand, the shield flew into the air and expanded in an instant.
"Hmph!" Ren Yufeng stared coldly at the scene in front of him. "Overestimating yourself."
When Mo Tiange saw his expression, she instinctively took out the White Silk Handkerchief, which turned into a brick wall in front of her.
Ren Yufeng attacked. The devil ball was thrown again, but this time, its momentum was much stronger than before.
With a loud "boom," the devil aura collided with Elder Qingyi's spiritual fog and Elder Qingmiao's Black Tortoise Shield.
Mo Tiange felt dizzy. Her whole body flew backwards and fell against the wall uncontrollably.
After a while, she struggled to crawl up. There was a deep fear in her eyes.
This momentum definitely wasn't that of an early stage Core Formation cultivator!
Apparently, Ren Yufeng must've cultivated some kind of secret technique in the past few months to have this kind of ability.
If she hadn't laid the Four Symbols Hundred Flowers Formation and had the White Silk Handkerchief in front of her, she definitely wouldn't have just suffered some minor injuries — she'd most likely have lost her life just like that.
Ever since she obtained the White Silk Handkerchief, Mo Tiange had faced fifth rank demonic beasts before, but she'd never suffered such heavy injuries after blocking them.
"Cough!"
She wasn't the only one who suffered heavy injuries. Behind her, Wei Haolan, who was already heavily injured, now tilted her head and lost consciousness.
Mo Tiange turned around and saw that Elder Qingyi and Elder Qingmiao were still standing. However, one of them was still in a state of shock because her magic weapon had been shattered, while the other one was already injured, so she was now vomiting a mouthful of blood and her complexion was deathly pale.
"You …" Elder Qingyi stared at Ren Yufeng in front of her. "What kind of sorcery is this?!"
Ren Yufeng looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction and walked forward step by step. "Who told you it was a Devil Path spell? I'm the son of the divine dragon; this is a divine dragon secret technique!"
"Divine dragon secret technique?"
Elder Qingmiao regained her senses and glared at him. "Your whole body is covered in devil aura, yet you still dare to say you're the son of the divine dragon? Shameless!"
"You —" Ren Yufeng raised his hand again, his face full of anger.
Elder Qingyi and Elder Qingmiao were on guard at the same time. Their defensive magic weapons were shattered, and they weren't rich cultivators, so they could only reluctantly take out defensive talismans.
Ren Yufeng didn't use devil aura to attack like before. Instead, he smiled strangely. "It'd be a pity if I didn't let you experience it!"
Experience what?
Before Mo Tiange could guess what he meant, Ren Yufeng stretched out his hand and shouted, "Rise!"
In an instant, Elder Qingyi and Elder Qingmiao turned pale with fright!
The remaining devil aura around their bodies suddenly surged as if it was alive!
The devil aura slowly swam towards them and twined around their bodies.
Elder Qingyi and Elder Qingmiao were astonished. They took a step back, but the devil aura took a step forward. They wanted to use their spiritual aura to force the devil aura away, but the devil aura easily penetrated their defenses.
"Senior Martial Sister!" Elder Qingmiao was a bit flustered.
Although Elder Qingyi was a bit calmer, her injuries were much more serious, so she couldn't do what she wanted.
The devil aura was getting closer and closer, almost invading their bodies. They could already feel the strangeness of this devil aura — it was gloomy, cold, lifeless, and it made their blood run cold.
"Senior Martial Sister, what's this?!"
Elder Qingyi's complexion was pale, but her eyes were filled with shock. "This is dead aura, dead aura!
I know … "
Dead aura?
Mo Tiange was stunned. There was also some black aura around her body, and now, she was also moving towards her.
"Yes, this person cultivates dead aura!
It absorbs the dead aura of dead people! "No wonder there were always disciples missing these days — they were probably used to cultivate this evil technique!
Elder Qingmiao also knew what dead aura was, so her complexion instantly turned pale.
Dead aura was actually a kind of special spiritual aura.
Mortals called life aura Yang aura and dead aura Yin aura, but in fact, the cultivation world didn't think so.
Life aura had both Yin and Yang, and most people's life auras revolved around Yin and Yang. However, dead aura was different — it was neither part of the five elements nor outside of Yin and Yang.
Therefore, people couldn't come into contact with dead aura. Once they came into contact with dead aura, they would slowly be corroded and eventually lose their lives, becoming dead people.
As the name implied, dead aura was the aura that could only exist in dead people.
Nowadays, the Righteous Path and the Devil Path had been separated for too long, so no one knew whether the Devil Path could cultivate dead aura or not. However, they knew it was absolutely impossible for the Righteous Path to cultivate dead aura!
"Senior Martial Sister!" Elder Qingmiao was a bit panicked. "What should we do?"
Elder Qingyi wasn't much better than her, but she was a bit calmer now. After thinking about it, she clenched her teeth and said, "Dantian Real Fire — dead aura is afraid of fire!"
However, Ren Yufeng was still in front of them — how could they find the time to refine the dead aura invading their bodies?
"Senior Martial Sisters!" Unexpectedly, Elder Qingxi came out.
Her complexion was pale and her body was floating; obviously, her spiritual aura hadn't recovered yet. "I'll stop him!"
"Junior Martial Sister Qingxi!"
Elder Qingxi didn't say anything. A flower basket appeared in her hands. The fresh flowers in the basket looked like they were just plucked; their fragrance assailed everyone's nostrils.
"Hmph!" Ren Yufeng didn't take Elder Qingxi seriously at all. He sneered and devil aura started to wander around his fingers.
With a heavy expression, Elder Qingxi put her hand into the flower basket and sprinkled a handful of petals!
These petals were obviously light, but they carried raging spiritual aura as they drifted towards Ren Yufeng's face.
With a sullen expression, Ren Yufeng raised his hand and devil aura gathered between his fingers.
As soon as the petals came into contact with the devil aura, they were unexpectedly corroded and turned black in an instant!
Elder Qingxi's expression changed. "You …"
"Hahahaha!" Ren Yufeng threw his head back and laughed. "You overestimate yourself!" He waved his sleeve, causing a gust of black aura to rush out and wrap around Elder Qingxi.
"Ah!" Elder Qingxi cried out in pain and the flower basket in her hands fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Mo Tiange steeled her heart and pointed at the space between her eyebrows.
If the three elders couldn't stop him, she'd lose her life in vain, so she'd better escape into the Virtual Sky World to hide for a while.
The bead between her eyebrows shone. She chanted an incantation and shot out a spiritual aura. In an instant, she was submerged by the light.
The light soon dispersed.
Mo Tiange thought she was already inside the Virtual Sky World, but the next moment, she was shocked.
She was still in the same place!
She didn't enter the Virtual Sky World — what was wrong with her?
Mo Tiange's face was deathly pale. She pointed at the space between her eyebrows again and summoned the bead. The bead was still shining, but after she cast the incantation, there was still no reaction.
She suddenly panicked.
Why couldn't she enter the Virtual Sky World?
This was her last life-saving method — what could she do if she couldn't enter?
Suddenly, she felt pain in her arm. She looked down and saw the faintly discernible dead aura wrapped around it.
Dead aura!
This dead aura destroyed her Body of Origin, so her body couldn't form a Primal Chaos, so she couldn't open the Virtual Sky World!
But now, the three elders obviously couldn't hold on anymore. With Ren Yufeng's current twisted personality, he definitely wouldn't spare her life.
What should I do? What should I do?
Mo Tiange broke out in a cold sweat as she watched the scene before her.
