The valley was really safe. They had been here for half a day and nothing had happened.
In the distance, however, there were caves of ghosts erupting everywhere, especially at midnight. They could see a purple glare shooting up to the sky and the ground was trembling.
The eruption of caves of ghosts meant that there were Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals, which were treasures and Xuan Crystals.
Of course, it also meant endless danger. When caves of ghosts erupted, the Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals could pierce through people and the suction force after eruption would be horrifying.
Take Gargoyle Rats for example. As caves of ghosts erupted, there would be more and more Gargoyle Rats. Only warriors of the Noble Lord Realm could survive. Who would dare to go out and court death?
Jiang Hao sent many warriors to surround the area. In the middle of the night, Jiang Hao even sent a powerful warrior of the Noble Lord Realm out to subdue some Gargoyle Rats that were approaching in secret.
The Pavilion of Delicacy should be informed that something was wrong here and they would send a ship over as soon as possible.
That being said, it would take time. Nobody dared to move around. They hid in the valley quietly.
Lu Li spent the whole night consuming Soul Crystals. He was fast and he had consumed more than 200 Soul Crystals in one night.
His Soul Pond was obviously bigger. His Soul Pond was glowing and more condensed.
What frustrated him was that the Silver Dragon Bloodline had absorbed a lot of white energy but there was no change. No memory fragments of demons were transmitted to him.
At dawn, Lu Li fell into a deep sleep. He had only slept for a couple of hours when he felt the ground was trembling. He opened his eyes abruptly.
Luckily, the ground only trembled for a bit. Lu Li and Ming Yu walked out and looked to the north.
Through the thick purple haze, they could see purple smoke rising up to the sky. There should be caves of ghosts erupting over there.
Many people walked out of their tents in fear. Jiang Hao came out from the tent next to Jiang Qiling at once.
Not long after, an Imperishable Realm martial practitioner flew over and shouted, "Chief Commander, three ghost caves have erupted five miles to the north. Almost a hundred Heavenly Ghoul Rats have appeared and are charging this way."
"Swish, swish, swish ~"
Many people's faces changed. There were close to a hundred Celestial Ghoul Rats. If they were to charge into the valley, many people would die.
Jiang Hao looked over to Lu Li. Lu Li nodded.
Lu Li nodded. Jiang Hao waved his hand and said, "Jiang Ming, Jiang Yan, come with me to defeat the Gargoyle Rats. I will leave Jiang Hong to you.
Qiling, go to Young Master Lu's side. "
The Gargoyle Rats must not be allowed to come. Jiang Hao gave some instructions and rushed out with two Noble Lord Realm warriors and more than a dozen Eternal Realm warriors.
The three warriors at the peak of the Eternal Realm surrounded Jiang Qiling and walked towards Lu Li. At least, Ming Yu would be safer here.
Today, Jiang Qiling was wearing a bright yellow dress with purple and gold tassels in her hair. Her lips were still covered with blood-red rouge. She looked gorgeous and enchanting.
She walked over to Lu Li and said nothing. She was not worried at all. She stood there in silence. Nobody could tell what she was thinking.
Lu Li asked with curiosity, "Lady Qi, your grandpa left you to kill the Gargoyle Rats?
Isn't he afraid that something will happen to you? "
In the eyes of the big shots, they wouldn't care even if this group of people died.
Lu Li didn't think Jiang Hao was a saint who cared about the people. Theoretically speaking, he should be with her at all times.
"Ha, ha."
Jiang Qiling squinted at Lu Li and said with a sarcastic smile, "I have done many bad things over the years. Once, I almost burned a cousin to death.
Grandpa must be disappointed in me. It is normal that he doesn't care about me. "
"You are wrong." Lu Li shook his head and said, "I can tell that your grandpa cares about you."
"Yes!"
Jiang Qiling turned to Lu Li and said, "The Jiang Family cares about me and Jiang Wuwo cares about me more. But … that is all."
Lu Li could feel the hatred in Jiang Qiling's heart when she called her father by his name in a mocking and sarcastic tone.
He shook his head and said nothing more. He waited for Jiang Hao to come back in silence.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
Soon, there came some noises from the north. Jiang Hao and the others were fighting against the Gargoyle Rats.
The atmosphere was tense as well. Everyone was waiting for the end of the fight.
"Oh no, there are Gargoyle Rats coming from the south —"
From outside the valley came a cry of alarm. Then two people let out miserable cries and more than a dozen Gargoyle Rats were making strange noises.
Everyone in the valley was taken aback. Jiang Hong, who was staying behind, shouted at once, "There are Gargoyle Rats coming. Jiang Lang, go and stop them."
Dozens of Eternal Realm warriors rushed out. There came some noises of explosions and angry shouts. Many released their Fate Wheels. There were colorful rays of light dancing around.
Ming Yu frowned. He grabbed Lu Li and was ready to leave at any time.
Lu Li threw her a look. She was calm, not a trace of panic. She was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
"Roar, roar ~"
From outside came some strange noises. They sounded like Corpse Soldiers and Netherworld Generals, spooky and creepy. Then someone from the Pavilion of Delicacy shouted, "Oh no, Jiang Lun and the others are poisoned. Kill them."
"Whoosh ~"
Four or five shadows flew into the valley. When they saw that it was the Gargoyle Rats, they panicked. Many people ran to the top of the valley.
"Young Lady, let's go!"
Jiang Hong grabbed Jiang Qiling with one hand. The situation was getting out of control.
When the Gargoyle Rats rushed into the crowd, more people would be poisoned. Those who were poisoned would attack their companions and the poison would spread. In the end, all those who stayed would die.
"Roar, roar ~"
As expected, a Heavenly Ghostrat rushed into the crowd and bit a few people on their thighs. Those people's eyes immediately turned dark blue. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they rushed towards the people around them, grabbing them and biting them.
Jiang Qiling pushed Jiang Hong's hand away. She looked at Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, ask your people to help me. I will go and deal with the Gargoyle Rats."
"Eh?"
Lu Li was just about to leave with Ming Yu when he heard Jiang Qiling's words.
Jiang Hong was anxious. He grabbed Jiang Qiling again and said, "Lady Qi, don't be impulsive. If anything happens to you, we will all die."
"Piss off!
Get your filthy hands off me! "
Jiang Qiling shouted. She was filled with killing intent. She looked fierce. She had turned into a female Rakshasa, quite intimidating.
She looked at Lu Li and said, "What?
I thought you said you are not afraid of death?
Or you don't believe me? "
The black Bloodline mark on Jiang Qiling's neck emerged and a beautiful butterfly glowed.
Lu Li made up his mind in a split second. He shouted coldly, "Ming Yu, help her!"
Ming Yu looked at Lu Li's determined eyes. He didn't say much. He grabbed Jiang Qiling's arm and rushed forward.
A black glare glowed on her neck. Following that, many black butterflies flew out toward the Gargoyle Rats. Some of the butterflies were aimed at the poisoned warriors.
In an instant, the sky was filled with black butterflies. As soon as the butterflies came out, the world seemed to have disappeared. Many people were attracted by the butterflies.
The butterflies were small. They flapped their wings and danced in the air. It was beautiful.
Every butterfly had a black glare, beautiful and enchanting.
One by one, the butterflies flew towards the Heavenly Ghost Rats. A few people who were poisoned by the rats were struck by the butterflies. The black butterflies flashed and disappeared into the bodies of the cultivators.
Something miraculous happened —
When the first black butterfly entered the body of a Gargoyle Rat, the rat slowed down and the dark blue glare in its eyes dimmed.
When the second black butterfly entered the body of the Gargoyle Rat, it slowed down even more. The third, the fourth …
When seven or eight black butterflies entered the bodies of the Gargoyle Rats, all the other Gargoyle Rats stopped moving. They stood still on the spot.
The poisoned warriors were the same. After seven or eight black butterflies entered their bodies, they were all frozen on the spot.
"Squeak, squeak ~"
What shocked Lu Li and the others was that the four or five Gargoyle Rats began to kill each other and attack each other.
"Buzzing ~"
The ring on Jiang Qiling's hand glowed as several black daggers came out. She waved her hand and the daggers flew out. They all went between the eyebrows of the poisoned warriors and came out from the back of their heads. They circled around and returned to Jiang Qiling's hand.
"Boom!"
The poisoned warriors fell to the ground and died.
Jiang Qiling didn't look at the Gargoyle Rats that were killing each other. She said to Ming Yu, "Take me out. There are more Gargoyle Rats out there."
Ming Yu put his mind at ease. He rushed out with Jiang Qiling. The commotion in the valley quieted down.
Lu Li exclaimed to himself. He asked Jiang Hong next to him, "What is the name of this Bloodline Skill?"
Jiang Hong didn't hide it. This Bloodline Skill was famous and people could ask about it easily. He said, "Eighth-rank Bloodline, Soulfeast Butterfly!
Lady Qi is the most talented genius of the Jiang Family. What happened a few years ago was too much for her. Otherwise, she could have defeated all the warriors of the Eternal Realm by now … "
