Ren Pingsheng and the others were part of this group, and of course, it was Lan Shaoqiu who made the decision initially. He was the nominal leader of their team. Including him, there were five people in total: Ren Pingsheng, Feng Yi, and two other friends of Lan Shaoqiu. Their current ranking was not low, around forty.
"Great, this way we can earn points much faster. But be careful; once anyone's True Qi drops below half, we need to stop immediately and recover our True Qi. Don't risk your life just for points," Su Lang said, taking on a responsible tone before they set off.
"We'll do it this way. Although the current Demonized Beasts don't seem too tough, I still feel something is off, so we need to be cautious. We'll take turns resting and keeping watch," Lan Shaoqiu said, looking around at the dark surroundings with some concern.
"Alright, we'll do as you say!" said one of the others named Li Kui. He was one of the two remaining members. The other person, named Yan Xingshu, dressed like a Scholar, nodded in agreement.
Ren Pingsheng remained silent and did not relax at all. His feelings were even stronger than Lan Shaoqiu's. Since entering the Demon Soul Valley, he had felt as if something was watching him, making him uneasy.
However, after observing for a while, he found nothing unusual. Therefore, when Lan Shaoqiu suggested leaving together, he agreed without hesitation. Perhaps if they left, this feeling would disappear. Yet it lingered on, though intermittently.
"This Demon Soul Valley has issues; what exactly is going on?" Ren Pingsheng thought as he gazed at the monotonous blackness in the distance. Even if there were problems, he couldn't leave without completing their mission.
"Alright, let's focus on completing our mission and earn five hundred points as quickly as possible so we can leave here." This was his plan. Although the top three in points would receive a Treasure as a Reward, he didn't necessarily need it since he already had one from his time at Canglan Mountain Back Mountain.
They did not go to meet up with anyone else, and there was no sign that Gu Yunfei's group intended to seek them out; not even a sound could be heard. It seemed both teams had similar intentions and were not planning to meet up for now.
"There are more Demonized Beasts ahead; move quickly," Su Lang shouted, but then suddenly stopped and looked in another direction. "Oh, there's another group of Demonized Beasts over there. What do you all think?"
"Let's split up. We've encountered several groups of Demonized Beasts, and the most we've seen is about fifty. Even if we send half our people over there, twenty or so should be enough to handle four or five dozen Demonized Beasts," someone immediately suggested. After their previous victories, they were now filled with thoughts of earning points.
"Alright then, half of us will go deal with that group of Demonized Beasts. But be careful; if anything happens, come back quickly." After giving this final instruction, Su Lang led half the group toward the batch of Demonized Beasts he had spotted earlier while the remaining members attacked another group.
This time, Ren Pingsheng continued to follow Su Lang. They encountered over thirty Demonized Beasts, which was sufficient for them to earn points; it was just a matter of how many each would get.
After the battle concluded, Su Lang waited for a while but noticed that those who had left did not return.
"Is that how it is? Let's keep moving!" He shook his head without paying much attention to it. Perhaps when they separated, he already knew those people wouldn't come back. To earn more points, having fewer people around would certainly be better.
The Demon Soul Valley was vast; the deeper they went in, the wider it became. Naturally, they encountered more and more Demonized Beasts, which seemed to appear randomly rather than being fixed in place.
As a result, their team gradually began to have other thoughts and contemplated whether they should leave. Because after battling so far, they had confirmed that these Demonized Beasts, no matter how powerful they were, had their limits.
Moreover, for some unknown reason, they were scattered in distribution. The larger groups had around forty to fifty members, while the smaller ones had only twenty or so. Most of them were mid to low-level Demon Beasts, and there weren't particularly many High-Level Beasts among them. In their view, even if it was just the six of them, they could easily handle the situation.
Once thoughts began to stir, they could not be easily quelled. Finally, after dealing with a batch of Demonized Beasts, the first group decided to leave. It was a five-person team, all at the Perfect Realm Warrior level. They informed Su Lang before departing. Their destination was precisely where they had discovered the Demonized Beasts.
Once such an event occurred, it triggered a chain reaction. Soon another group left—a six-person team, also all Perfect Realm Warriors. They headed straight for another location where Demonized Beasts had appeared.
In the blink of an eye, half of the people had left, leaving the remaining individuals momentarily silent. Perhaps they had all anticipated this; it was merely a matter of time. This mission might not be as difficult as expected; perhaps Demon Soul Valley was just a bit eerie and did not pose much danger, which was the conclusion they had drawn from their journey through battle.
This conclusion prompted even more people to leave. The same situation occurred with Gu Yunfei; the hundred-member team that entered gradually dispersed throughout Demon Soul Valley.
Watching all this unfold, Ren Pingsheng's expression became somewhat peculiar. For some unknown reason, he felt as if there were unseen hands manipulating everything within Demon Soul Valley, dividing them one by one. This made him cautious; he sensed that something unexpected might happen soon.
Su Lang glanced at those who remained and said, "What are your thoughts? If anyone wants to leave, now is the time." As soon as he spoke, another five-person team stepped forward without any hesitation and turned to leave.
"We should follow them; I sense that something dangerous is about to happen." Noticing Lan Shaoqiu's hesitation, Ren Pingsheng whispered. He did not believe that this place was truly as calm as it appeared. Perhaps after this calmness would come a storm.
Seeing Ren Pingsheng's serious expression, Lan Shaoqiu thought for a moment and agreed. Mainly because there were only nine of them left now. There weren't many people left to divide points with anyway, so it didn't make much difference whether they stayed or left.
With no one else leaving, Su Lang led them deeper into the valley. Gradually, each person's Jade Tablet accumulated dozens or even hundreds of points; they had already taken down hundreds of Demonized Beasts.
"Ren Shidi, it seems your worries were unnecessary; look how calm things are now," Lan Shaoqiu said lightly after finishing off the last Demonized Beast.
"Perhaps so; in any case, it's better to be cautious in such unfamiliar territory..." Ren Pingsheng's words were cut short by a long howl filled with urgency and fear. It was a call for help; they didn't know what kind of trouble had arisen. Even more alarmingly, before that howl faded away, several more howls echoed in response—each one also pleading for assistance.
"What happened? Did they encounter some kind of danger?" The howls seemed to come from the teams that had left earlier. Su Lang paused for a moment and immediately gathered with the others, expressing his confusion.
"From their appearance, we might soon face danger ourselves. What should we do now? Should we go rescue them or leave immediately?" Lan Shaoqiu said without any reservations.
"Of course we should go save them! So many people sending out distress signals at once must mean they've encountered Demonized Beasts they can't handle. If we don't help them and they manage to resolve their issues on their own, we'll be in danger too—unless we leave right away," Su Lang replied after only a brief pause.
"Alright then, let's go save them." The nine of them quickly understood the gravity of the situation. They couldn't leave until their mission was complete; thus, they had to go rescue those in need. Otherwise, they would ultimately be the ones in danger.
"Hold on! Someone will come to rescue us soon," said one of four individuals surrounded by hundreds of Demonized Beasts. Their faces were pale but they persevered because giving up would mean being overwhelmed instantly.
"Right ahead. Oh my God, there are so many Demonized Beasts!" The nine people were astonished by what they saw.
"Hurry and save them!" Su Lang shouted, immediately rushing out. The cultivation of a Perfect Realm Warrior was fully unleashed, creating a fierce howling sound as he charged through, opening a path and killing his way in. The others were not slow either, drawing their swords. Sword energy surged, shredding many lower-level Demonized Beasts.
"It's Su Lang and the others; they have come to rescue us. Let's charge out!" The four people inside shouted with joy and tears. They forcefully broke through the blockade of nine High-Level Demonic Beasts and rushed toward Su Lang's direction. In fact, with their cultivation as Perfect Realm Warriors, if it weren't for the suppression from the nine High-Level Beasts, they would have broken through long ago.
Originally, there were five of them. At that time, there were only a dozen Demonized Beasts, and they didn't pay much attention while pursuing them. However, they suddenly faced a surprise attack from nine high-level magical Demon Beasts. One person only lasted a moment before dying, leaving just the four of them. If it weren't for their strong cultivation, they would have likely been completely devoured by the Demonized Beasts.
Soon, the two groups met and fought their way out together. At this moment, no one was foolish enough to try to earn points; everyone knew that escaping was the priority.
"After a difficult battle lasting a minute, the group of thirteen finally broke free from the Demonized Beasts. However, the intermittent howls made them hesitate. They now understood what kind of danger those calling for help were facing. They had just gone through a tough fight, and their True Qi was severely depleted; for the moment, they were powerless.
"Everyone take out Spirit Stones and recover True Qi while we walk. We must save as many people as possible; otherwise, when we encounter these groups of Demonized Beasts again, it will be dangerous," Su Lang said with a serious expression.
"This damn mission, how could it be so dangerous?" one of the recently rescued four cursed with a pained expression; the person who had just died was a friend he was quite close to.
"We can only say we were careless; if we hadn't separated, nothing would have happened. Stop complaining and act quickly." Just as they caught their breath, they hurried toward the next rescue location.
Meanwhile, the separated disciples in Demon Soul Valley were being besieged by groups of Demonized Beasts. It looked like small boats tossed about in the sea, on the verge of capsizing at any moment. Many disciples had already carelessly lost their lives. If they couldn't break through the encirclement, even more people might die.
Gu Yunfei and his group were also attacked by Demonized Beasts; however, they had remained vigilant and had not fallen into a surrounded position. Instead, they detected danger early and avoided it. They were now in the same situation as Su Lang—rescuing people. In such circumstances, only by gathering together as much as possible could they ensure greater safety.
