I did not intentionally conceal the process of my actions earlier, so everyone around could see it clearly. Especially those nine clusters of Eerie Aura, three of which surged into the crowd, and one person was even possessed. Fortunately, I acted in time to eliminate that Ghostly Being.
The reason I exposed my Spell was to give them a psychological buffer in advance. We were about to confront individuals who wielded Evil Spells, and no one knew what might happen. After I finished, I turned to glance at the people beside me, sighed, and muttered to myself, "I hope they all make it back alive. There have already been enough deaths here."
What had just happened completely shattered the worldview of those new students. They stared blankly at the corpses of Wang Yan and his companions, dazedly listening to my words, unable to react for a while.
After about seven or eight minutes, those around me gradually regained their senses. Although their expressions became somewhat complex, their resolve grew stronger.
I sensed the subtle changes in their demeanor and nodded in satisfaction; perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.
Hou Libang's eyes turned anxious, and there was no trace of a smile left on his face. Although he had previously boasted about being a powerful mage, in reality, Hou Libang did not know any Spells at all. The stories he told were merely scenes he had seen from within. The nine clusters of Eerie Aura that had surged out from Wang Yan's corpses were Hou Libang's first true encounter with the supernatural.
Hou Libang looked up into my eyes, swallowed nervously, and said in a tense tone, "Jiang Ling, this is no place for humans. Why don't we leave now instead of waiting until dawn?"
A large portion of the new students shared this sentiment; they turned to me and echoed, "Yes, Jiang Ling. We’ve traveled at night before. Although there are three more corpses now with Wang Yan and his group, it doesn’t significantly affect our speed. We can leave right away. Once we reach the county town outside, we can find a way to send out news, and then we’ll be safe."
I shook my head and raised my hand to signal everyone to quiet down before explaining, "Brothers, I want to take you away as soon as possible too. But right now is when the Eerie Energy is strongest; those Ghostly Beings can roam freely around us.
If we set off now, everything around us is pitch black, severely limiting our visibility. If those Evil Cultivators are hiding in the dark and attack us, I have ways to evade them; I'm just afraid you won't survive.
Let’s not overthink it; let’s return to the village and rest well. After dawn breaks, we can set off."
Upon hearing my explanation, the new students finally understood my intentions. They nodded in agreement and quickly followed me back toward the village.
However, when we returned to the village, no one went inside to sleep. Instead, we all gathered around the campfire, leaning against each other, and began to rest with our eyes wide open.
As the temporary leader, I naturally had to consider the possible situations that might arise. To deal with any potential evil entities, I specifically collected all the Sabres from everyone and then bit my own fingertip, starting to carve Taoist Talismans onto those Sabres.
At the same time, at the place where I had just discovered Wang Yan and the others, a figure appeared riding on a massive Black-Furred Wild Boar.
With the faint moonlight filtering through the trees, I could barely see that the person was dressed in a pristine white coat, holding a Flute in hand, with long black hair that made him resemble an ancient man.
The figure looked in the direction we had just left, a look of excitement spreading across his face. He reached out and patted the wild boar's side, grinning sinisterly as he said, "Hehe, Pi, I've found someone very interesting. I really like the aura he possesses. Let’s capture him and use his corpse to brew a Corpse Oil Lamp; wouldn’t that be delicious?"
The wild boar's eyes glowed red, exuding a strong demonic aura. It licked its lips with a greedy expression as it gazed ahead and rasped, "Oh, oh, Zhang Guanghua, I've set my sights on that dual-cultivating Daoist. He's my prey. I won't allow you to have any thoughts of taking him."
Zhang Guanghua fiddled with the Flute in his hand, his smile unchanged as he nodded and replied, "Pi, since you've taken a liking to that person, I won't compete with you for him. However, with your cultivation level, you won't be able to kill him."
Although the giant wild boar was a demon, its cultivation was only slightly stronger than that of the Tree Demon, barely reaching the level of a hundred-year-old spirit. If it faced me directly, it would only meet its demise.
Having previously hidden at a distance and witnessed my abilities, the wild boar knew well that it was not my match. Nevertheless, it was not willing to give up; a glint of murderous intent flashed in its eyes as it shook its body violently, throwing Zhang Guanghua off its back before turning and running deeper into the mountains while loudly declaring, "Zhang Guanghua, I'm going to gather my group of brothers! You keep an eye on them and don’t let them escape!"
"Pi, don’t worry! I will definitely help you stop them; you hurry back!" Zhang Guanghua shouted cheerfully until he saw the wild boar's figure disappear before he withdrew his gaze.
At this moment, Zhang Guanghua's smile vanished. He cast a dark glance at our location and coldly snorted before speaking in a grim tone: "Hmph! I originally wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys away and frighten you off. I didn’t expect to encounter someone from the Dao. Since that's the case, you all can stay here!"
After saying this, Zhang Guanghua lifted the Flute to his lips and began to play softly. Strangely enough, despite playing for quite some time, no sound emerged from it at all. Zhang Guanghua remained oblivious as he continued playing his Flute.
"Crack~~ Crack~~" After a long time, a sound of bones clicking together emerged from the bottom of the tree pit behind Zhang Guanghua. If someone were to take a glance inside, they would see a pile of white bones gradually assembling, the clicking sounds growing louder and the speed of assembly increasing.
The once quiet deep mountains were now filled with this piercing crackling noise, sending chills down one's spine.
